Thanks to the efforts of the maids at the lord castle, Baren was able to complete Chris’s order.
He entrusted the flag to the enlisted men in the territory and returned to his office.
The newly raised flag fluttered vigorously under the setting sun.
The wind was blowing quite a bit, so you should be able to recognize Argal’s design from a distance.
Chris, watching the scene with satisfaction, turned and went downstairs.
“Good. Then let’s get ready to welcome the guests.”
“Would the Cadral Church move that quickly? If they come out now, it would be like admitting that it was their fault… … .”
“I can’t survive without stepping out.”
Chris sat in the seat he usually used to meet local residents and visitors and waited for news of the church union.
The chair made to enhance the majesty of the lord is located in the highest and most visible position in the room.
As Baren carefully selected the stalwart gnomes and placed them in the aisle, news came quickly as Chris expected.
“Lord! Priests who are said to be messengers of the Church Union… … .”
“Let it in.”
The minions of the Church Alliance pursued him from the ruins of Argal to this place.
It is unlikely that they would have given up on his pursuit, so they were probably keeping a watchful eye from a distance.
Indeed, they showed up within an hour of raising the flag.
“Children, you came really quickly.”
Tyrone looked out the window and trembled, and Chris smiled.
The Cult Alliance tried to kill Chris as soon as he received the Gift of Evil.
For those who aim to seal the status window, Argal, who is presumed to be the distributor of the status window, is an opponent that cannot be left alone.
The priests, who have been caught in Chris’ rice cake, question him in a terrifying voice as soon as they face him.
“My lord, what the hell does that flag mean? Are you willing to sacrifice all the citizens of this city to a god?”
“however?”
Chris nodded without hesitation, seeing the other’s rude attitude.
The soldiers lined up in the room looked as if they would run at the priests at any moment.
They are the main culprits who set the city on fire, so the soldiers can’t help but look away.
Only then did the priests read the atmosphere around them and slightly shrank.
Of course, even so, the criticism of Chris will not stop.
“Has the lord already forgotten the fate of the leader of the Black Banner?”
“I haven’t forgotten. The end of that guy, and how the Church Alliance repaid me for defeating him then.”
Chris had to throw himself down a steep cliff thanks to the handover of the Gift of the Chest God.
When he remembered that, his expression turned very grim.

Meanwhile, Varen’s expression hardened after overhearing the conversation between the lord and the visitors.
The flag ordered by the new lord to be made, and the church union came to him like a fit after seeing it.
And even though it hasn’t been long since the conversation started, the word that is already familiar to the ears, ‘the evil god’.
He was already quick-witted, and he understood the general situation at this point.
I wanted to argue right away, but I couldn’t confirm the lord’s true intentions in front of them, who were no different from potential enemies.
He decided to trust his lord for now.
The priests who were pointed out about their dark history blushed a little and responded brazenly.
“You will regret it if you accepted the mischief with a moment of resentment and beating.”
“The only thing I regret is helping the church union, isn’t it?”
“Are you thinking of making the ignorant villagers into servants of the evil spirits because of personal grudges?”
“Wouldn’t that be better than dying in a fire caused by the gangsters of the Church Alliance? The bust seemed to like me quite a bit.”
As Chris rubbed the holy symbol on his right hand, the faces of the priests hardened.
They wanted to think that the opponent was just bluffing, but the people called players from another world were really surprisingly stupid and violent, so they couldn’t dismiss it as a lie.
In particular, it is unrivaled in the field of disturbing the order of the world.
Among the denominations’ envoys, the priest in charge turned around for a moment and consulted with the party.
“It seems to be sincere. Since we seem to be pushing too hard, why don’t we take a step back from here?”
“It is nonsense. No matter how much you compromise with the ugly heretic?”
“We have a duty to make sure that this land does not become the domain of evil spirits. Pride and honor are trivial compared to that sacred mission.”
What kind of tragedy will happen if the already powerful evil god gains sacrifices, followers, and territory?
The priests of the denomination union changed their posture a little, reminding themselves of that.
“If we go on like this, there will be nothing good for each other.”
“I have nothing to lose, right? In the first place, this wasn’t even my land. If you can sell a piece of land to buy the favor of the evil god, it’s cheap.”
The priests had no choice but to bend their backs as Chris shook his head.
When power is given to players who were originally trash people in the corner of the room, very terrible results will come out.
They also didn’t think Chris would really be like that. However, they still don’t know what he will really do if they continue to threaten and annoy him. It was judged that the risk of having followers and territories at least once in a lifetime was too great. It is also the most fertile territory in Basilonia.
In the end, the priest in charge asked in a softer voice.
“What do you want?”
“Let’s just pretend we don’t know. It’s going to be hard for you to be active here anyway, so please don’t lose your energy by inciting my territories.”
Chris demanded neither an apology nor a promise from the denominational union.
Originally, an apology is for those who do it rather than those who receive it, and I couldn’t believe it even if I made a promise with the union of the denominations.
Upon receiving his notice, the priests greeted him with a disapproving look and immediately left.
Soon, as the shadows of the priests melted into the darkness outside the lord’s castle, Chris immediately ordered Baren.
“Take all the flags and burn them. Let’s think about the real sentence slowly starting tomorrow.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Varen nodded coolly and gave an order to the servants.
Of course, Chris had no intention of dedicating the possessions of the territories to the evil god.
Illesis, who had overheard his command, approached quietly and asked.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just keep it in storage? You might actually use it later.”
“It’s too odious to put in a corner of a warehouse. It’s not like I made it through hard work anyway.”
Chris shook his head, apologizing to the maids in the castle.
After watching the flag collected by the servants burn to the ground, he headed to the bedroom.
The bed, made by the hand of the maids, was soft and cozy, but it seemed difficult to sleep comfortably tonight.
After all, it is a serious disrespect to make a flag, raise it, and even burn it on a subject that is not even a follower of the evil god.
Argal is no easy opponent.
If a normal person had done something similar, they would have been punished and died.
Although Chris has the Shield of Faith… Since the original owner of the shield was Argal, he couldn’t be relieved.
However, if you do not do even this much, you will not be able to deceive the union of the denominations.
In the end, he decided to lean on Argal’s reasoning mother’s favor.
After becoming a lord, my body became very comfortable, but I felt like my worries increased.
* * *
next morning.
Chris made up his mind even before his heavy eyelids opened.
No matter what happened today, he intended to leave everything to Baren and enjoy the benefits of being a lord.
Illesis, who was occupying the table faster than anyone else in Chris’ party, tilted his head when he heard his plan.
“I agree to take a leisurely break, but what are you going to do now?”
“First of all, food and shelter have been switched, so now it’s time to work on righteousness. I just got a closet to put spare clothes in.”
“Didn’t you match a suit with me the other day? There are many other ceremonial clothes in the lord’s castle.”
“uh… In fact, the ceremonial clothes in this world are pretty bad by the standards of the players.”
Chris looked at Illesis’ mood and responded cautiously.
Fortunately, she didn’t take it seriously.
“okay? why?”
“hmm… First of all, the color is too childish.”
“I have to admit that. The costumes worn by the imperial aristocrats were quite… It was terrible.”
Tyrone, snooping with interest, agreed with him.
Aristocrats wear bright and colorful colors such as red or purple.
In this way, the wearer can be seen at a glance even from a distance, and there is an effect of appearing wealthy compared to other people.
Even so, dyes to produce colors such as red or purple are expensive, but not usually expensive.
A very attractive color for aristocrats who prefer anything precious and expensive.
However, Chris, who had not completely abandoned his aesthetic sense on Earth, felt quite painful whenever he saw such costumes.
If it was only the color of the ceremonial dress that was the problem, that wasn’t the case. The clothes of the nobles were made of expensive fabrics, making the area large and cumbersome.
As for the formal dress Chris wore the other day, the sleeves and trouser hem were inflated like balloons, making eating a meal a chore.
Of all the clothes in this world, I like the adventure outfit I’m wearing the most, but sometimes I want to wear something softer.
I didn’t know anything else about the formal dress, but Chris liked the unique soft touch.
“Then what design do you want?”
“I wish it was roughly like this.”
Chris sketched out the outfit he wanted on a large piece of leather.
It is a jacket commonly worn on Earth, painstakingly depicted with poor drawing skills.
Illesis, a native of this world, saw it and swallowed.
“Um… It’s a little subtle, but I think it’s okay.”
“Isn’t it a bit bizarre to the natives too?”
If Illesis reacted like this, other people might be frightened.
For those who have conservative values and value the warmth of clothing, it will be difficult to accept open-front clothing.
But Chris had no intention of giving up the jacket.
“You don’t just wear this, you layer it over your shirt.”
“aha! Then what color?”
“Of course it’s black.”
Seeing Chris reply without a moment’s hesitation, Illesis let out a small sigh.
What he envisioned was more like the attire of a backstreet hoodlum than the everyday clothes of a lord.
Varen, who entered the restaurant just in time, saw it and raised one eyebrow.
“Hmm? Lord, did you have a good night last night?”
“Thanks to. I’ll be in town during the morning, so you’re doing some work.”
“Oh, I want to go too.”
As Illesis tried to follow him, Varen nodded slightly and asked a question.
“I will call the knights right now. By the way, what are you going down to the city for?”
“I’m going to go to the clothing store for a while.”
“Well, then, why don’t you just call the owner of the store to the lord’s castle? Does the lord really need to take a precious step… … .”
“Oh right. Am I a noble?”
Chris clapped his hands at Varen’s point and nodded.
Then one of the servants of the castle started running to the city.
However, Tyrone said that he was going to play in the village, and he could not stand the bird and left.
After a satisfying meal, the three of them enjoyed refreshments and were able to meet the owner of the clothing store after a while.
The man who received the lord’s order after a long time is visibly delighted and bows politely.
“I am very honored to have found me among the many tailors in the city. What kind of clothes can I offer this time?”
“Can you make this?”
Chris showed the design with the back and side pictures added and asked the tailor.
The tailor was slightly taken aback by the bizarre costume, but nodded, remembering that the opponent was a player.
“hmm… It won’t be difficult if you allow me to measure your measurements. It’s not even that complicated.”
“Good. Then start right away. The color is black.”
It was a tailor who made a strange expression on his increasingly strange orders, but Chris did not allow him to talk back.
I felt like I was being treated the same way as the player who ordered the Japanese sword before… The perfection of the original fashion is stubbornness.
Chris, who sent him back after he had the tailor take his measurements, expressed his bewilderment at the time left far behind.
“I was going to make up with this in the morning, but it ended very early.”
“Then let’s experiment with the one we got last time. We don’t even know what it is yet.”
“ah… right.”
Recalling the Origin Epic excavated from the ruins of Argal, the Shield of Faith, Illesis whispered into Chris’ ear.
He nodded happily and headed to the training ground with her.
