＜ 13 : Apostle, Euthenia High Lost (3) ＞
The skill that made Euthenia an apostle, ＜Apostle Selection＞.
The effect of the skill was more profound than expected.
First, by consuming Karma, you can craft a divine weapon that belongs to the Apostle.
I don’t know if the names and shapes of the gods are always the same, but it was certain that their effects were not unusual.
The name of the Shingi handed to Utenia was [Shingi: Grimore].
The effect of [Shingi: Grimoire] is to give its owner the characteristic of ＜Shadow Touch＞.
Using ＜Shadow Touch＞, Utenia consumes magical power to apply physical force in the surrounding radius.
It was a characteristic that I thought was much more effective than any other skill.
I don’t know why I’m not given these advanced traits, though.
“Magic power doesn’t decrease as much as I thought. I don’t have to set a limit.”
The second characteristic of the apostle is the direct sharing of magic with the player.
It was a story that it was possible to replace the consumption of magic used by Yutenia with my own.
It was also possible for me to set a separate limit for the magical power shared with the apostles.
However, for the time being, I don’t think I will put a magic limit on Yutenia.
The biggest reason was that my magic power increased significantly through leveling up so far.
In the current country, it was possible to use the ＜Lightning＞ skill ignorantly.
Thanks to the increased amount of horsepower, there was no shortage of horsepower.
And the amount of magic that Yutenia consumed to use ＜Shadow Touch＞ was not too burdensome.
Unless another apostle was added, there was no reason to set a separate limit for sharing magic power for Utenia right now.
“And last but not least, it must be the crazy communication function unique to this game.”
The last function added as ＜Apostle Selection＞.
It was a chat button that enabled conversation with the apostle.
chat button. Simply put, it is something that appears to be a conversational feature.
However, this too was a much more profound thing than it appeared on the surface.
The message I send is not delivered as it is.
‘Give me the barrier.’
These six characters were all I had just sent to Euthenia.
give me the barrier It was simply a message to hand over the barrier spell that was given to Euthenia.
It must have been sent that way.
However, like a speech bubble that distorted Yutenia’s words, this game did not deliver my message smoothly.
No, I rather exaggerated my words to a level close to translation.
– “Apostle. Make an offering.”
– “Sacrifice…?”
There is only one letter overlap with the message I sent.
Where the hell is this message I sent you?
However, Message did not care about my complaints, and started talking to Yutenia on its own.
– “I will return the previously cast magic.”
– “Ah… do you want a spell book?”
– “Offer a sacrifice. Offer me a token of your oath.”
The meaning itself corresponds to what I sent.
However, the tone and atmosphere itself seemed to imitate the stern god.
Perhaps the tone of voice is adjusted close to that of the observer.
If not, you may have to have a minimum atmosphere.
As a result, my intentions were accurately communicated, though.
“The magic book is here.”
tyring.
After receiving the spell book from Utenia, I opened my inventory and immediately used it.
It was a magic book that was used only after a considerable amount of time had passed since the item was obtained through a draw.
– You have acquired ＜Barrier (Lv.MAX)＞.
– Barrier magic can now be used by consuming magic power.
By using the returned magic book, he learned the ＜Barrier＞ skill.
Of course, as it is a skill that is not helpful for hunting, I will rarely use it in the front.
At best, it seems that it’s all about reluctant use when Utena is in danger.
Well, even if that’s not the case, she won’t use it often because Yutenia learned magic.
“It was a really long care.”
How many days have you been feeding, dressing, and using items to Yutenia?
It was only now that communication was possible with Utenia.
In a sense, it was also the time to reap the rewards of caring for them.
Why is this game an idle game?
It is an idle game because it is a game that can be grown with minimal effort.
I have grown my character this much with my efforts, now is the time to reap the harvest.
“Now, you must pay for the meal.”
Kwok.
Opened the speech bubble button above Yutenia’s head to activate the chat window.
And he started writing messages to Euthenia.
tock. Todok. tock.
The content of the message written by busily moving fingers was simple.
Now move a little.
It meant to go out into the surrounding area.
– “Apostle. Do your duty.”
– “My mission…”
– “Preach My Will. Harvest the foolish life that does not follow the providence, and welcome the awakened seeds in advance.”
It was a story about finding some villages nearby.
That’s why it drops lightning at random.
Yutenia, who fully understood this story, said with a happy smile.
– “I see. Now I can be of your help.”
– “If that alone is the will of the Great One, I will follow suit.”
Is it because the graphics have evolved from before?
As I watched Yutenia quietly, the way she smiled seemed pretty cute.
After raising him for a long time, he seems to have fallen in love with the character.
Do you fall in love with the character?
For the time being, I had a feeling that my wallet would be quite dangerous.
* * * * * *
A village on the outskirts of the Centirius region.
There, Peter looked up at the sky with a pitchfork.
He was a young man who was born and raised in this village and followed his parents to become a farmer.
There was a time when I dreamed of becoming a soldier, but now I have put aside that dream.
To serve as a soldier was enough to serve as a vigilante in the village.
The most precious thing for Peter today was this village.
He wakes up in the morning to work hard, cools his sweat in the blowing wind, and smiles as he sees the ears of wheat swaying in the wind.
That was the greatest happiness for Farmer Peter.
He was by nature a farmer.
“The sky is dark today. It’s going to rain tonight.”
After finishing his work, Peter, who was looking at the sky, noticed the approaching clouds and muttered to himself.
Dark clouds were slowly forming in the blue sky.
It will still take some time for it to rain, but it looks like it will rain this evening or tomorrow.
As it might rain, I thought that I should prepare as much as possible before it rains.
“……uh?”
Peter, who had a plan in his head, was about to tidy up.
He could see a person walking towards this place from afar.
Tub. Tub.
I saw a man approaching the village with small strides.
He was wearing a pure white tunic, holding a large book in his arms.
“……”
The fluttering gray hair was quite foreign to Peter.
It must have been an outsider, not a villager.
The face of the girl holding the book was even more beautiful than Emily, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in town.
No, it wasn’t just beautiful, it was a look that showed elegance.
Could it be that nobles are visiting the village?
The girl who is approaching Peter now has an appearance enough to bring up such an idea.
“Uh, what… are you really coming here?”
Peter lightly stroked his bangs at the girl’s step closer to him.
He even brushed off the dirt on his clothes while working on the farm.
It was probably because he couldn’t show his dirty appearance in front of guests.
After Peter hastily cleaned up her appearance, the girl who had been walking from a distance finally stopped in front of Peter.
The girl’s eyes, which seemed to be eccentric, skimmed Peter up and down as they passed.
The book in her arms looked very expensive.
The girl who had glanced at Peter once looked at him and opened her mouth.
“hello?”
“Yes? Ah, ah! Yes…!”
Peter answered her in a sullen tone at the gentle girl’s voice.
I couldn’t answer properly because I was confused.
ugh Peter sighed at the pitiful appearance he had shown.
However, the girl didn’t care, and asked him, stroking the book she was holding.
“Are there many people living in this town?”
“People…? Oh, there are about forty people in our village!”
“Forty people. It’s a bit of a disappointing number.”
After hearing the number of the villagers from Peter, the girl nodded and said.
Forty people are sad, what does that mean?
It was something that Peter didn’t understand.
However, he didn’t bother asking about it.
It took a while for me to come here alone, but it is highly likely that she is a lost noble lady.
Even the books the girl was holding were hard to find even if the entire village was sold.
“Then I’ll ask you the next question. Is there a town with a lot of people nearby?”
“Where a lot of people live? West! If you go to the west, there’s a city!”
“A city… a city must have a lot of people.”
“Yes, yes. Yes.”
After hearing that there was a city, the girl showed satisfaction.
Peter doesn’t know why she’s satisfied, but he thinks it’s a good thing that a noble lady likes her.
In any case, there’s nothing good about being hated by nobles, isn’t it?
It was a rational choice that Peter had made on his own.
tock. tock.
The girl who was gently tapping a book with her slender fingertips looked at Peter again and opened her mouth.
“You’re kind. Can you tell me your name?”
“My name is Peter.”
“Then Peter, can you call the villagers?”
“……yes?”
Peter tilted his head at the talk of gathering the villagers.
I don’t mind answering the story, but why are you asking me to gather the villagers?
Peter’s doubts for a moment.
He turned his head at the strange sound over his shoulder.
fight.
The pitchfork in Peter’s hand was broken.
And the rest of the fork, which had been broken in half, was held by a hand reaching out from the girl’s shadow.
Peter’s eyes, wet with astonishment, looked at the girl.
“Because the Great One wants my decision.”
The girl was still looking at Peter with a smile on her face.
The girl’s hand ran through the cover of the book once more.
Peter saw that, and then realized that something was firmly wrong.
What was in front of him was not like a lost noble girl.
Oh no… Peter
