Discovery of Destiny (3)
I was afraid that our caravan would attract a lot of attention because of its size, but fortunately, that didn’t happen.
It is said that the number of camels, which was more than 10,000 before the war era, decreased to about 1,000 after the war, and to about 500 after the ‘Duke Simon de Sarnez Incident’.
Compared to the caravans from the new country, I heard that Rangbuye is medium-sized.
For this reason, the Moreno Caravansaray guests did not pay much attention to us.
Even those who glanced at this side quickly lost interest.
Well, that’s good.
“I’ll take you this way.”
“Thank you.”
Gonzalo, the manager, who was at the entrance, guided the group.
The lodging department asked me to fill it out in the room.
The caravan staff unloaded their luggage in an orderly manner and left camels and wagons at the hostel.
We walked around looking around. In particular, Joan, Sant, and I were deeply captivated.
The interior is similar to Chaum Caravansaray, but very different.
“Look at that, Sant. The ceiling rises like a dome.”
“yes. But there is a skylight at the top!”
“It’s strange and pretty. It’s something I’ve never seen in the Empire.”
“Okay, Baron. The colors are gorgeous too.”
“uh. I draw watercolors in no time. Would you like to do tie dye later?”
“I am good! But what is tie-dyeing?”
We grabbed the divine beast baskets one by one (Demi, Leah, Perry, and Tite were randomly included) and our eyes lit up frantically.
As we entered, there were more and more people.
Paladins mainly stayed there, but there were also blacksmiths and weapons exchanges that were not in Chaum.
‘Kawk! Kagang!’ ‘Hurreorre!’ It was the sound of the knocking of metal, and the vitality of the furnace was vivid.
“Hey, this is your sword! It changed with mine!”
“Uh-huh! I was drunk and confused!”
The shrill voice was hoarse. Old cloaks flew everywhere and the smell of alcohol wafted.
There was a restaurant over there and this one was a pub, but there didn’t seem to be much difference between the two.
As if they had not seen each other for a long time, I saw people embracing in the middle of the lobby.
Unlike the previous inn, where the majority of the general public were present, most of the guests here were dressed in combat uniforms.
The only Paladins I have met so far are the main characters, Sir John, Crown Princess Elissa, and Hanan.
It was amazing to see so many numbers at once. A faint cheer was heard in the distance.
-Waaa…
– Win! win! win! win!
-Earth! Earth! Earth!
-air! air! air!
what······? I squinted my eyes. Kristel and the Crown Prince exchanged unpleasant glances.
It was again Sir John who answered our questions.
“It’s a place where warriors gather, so there’s bound to be a fight.”
“Is it okay to fight in the dormitory?”
“Five. It would be better to create a dedicated space instead. In the past, when there was no “Arena”, it is said that rooms collapsed and unrelated people were often killed. So we secured a separate battlefield in addition to the gymnasium.”
When I asked with a puzzled face, Gonzalo kindly explained.
He said there were also two healing priests, which are hard to find in other lodgings.
‘okay.’ We shrugged our shoulders and answered. Everyone seems to have a lot of stamina.
“hey! Do water and fire go together? chuckle.”
“Let’s see. There are three paladins, but only two priests?”
“I’ll fight to death, wahahaha!”
The grumpy paladin Thunut looked at us and shouted.
‘Then do you use the priests alternately? Who’s better?’ There were also very rude questions.
The Viscount family just pretended not to know and went on their way. I also looked hard and walked forward.
The main couple had been quiet as if they were sick from a while ago, but by this point, I could tell.
I knew that if I did, those two would hurt the other guy.
“Sant, do they belong to the Holy See?”
I asked quietly.
The priest’s complexion brightened as if he was happy with the information he had known for a long time.
The young man groaned and picked up the divine water basket. There’s Leah in there.
“There will be no papal affiliation, Prince. They usually stay in the Temple of the Border. Paladins wandering in the desert often came directly from the new country, but I heard that they are usually the children of nobles who were driven out of their homes. He’s not a mercenary, he just walks around as an ‘adventurer’ or ‘explorer’. There are people who came out on my feet. Because he came from a good background, the Holy See doesn’t even crack down on it.”
“Are you kicked out? why? Ah, I see that it is a rough estimate.”
Joan kicked his tongue at the paladins in question.
As with his reckless personality, he did not lower his voice.
Then one of the knights screamed and stood up!
– Kudangtang!
“Hey! what did you just say From the looks of it, it’s like a commoner baboon!”
“Did you not hear me? Oh, are you ignorant than me? I meant to find out why I was kicked out of the house.”
“But that one!”
Joan said with a shrug, and the enraged opponent flew towards us.
Gonzalo held him calmly. I hurriedly blocked the front of the exclusive painter.
As soon as it arrives, it looks like a fight. Let’s speak!
“Sir, please calm down. Arguing indoors with other guests will result in immediate deportation.”
“Who is arguing? Let this go, let it go! As you can see, you don’t know that paladins are scary, that woman. I’m reckless with a bishop level, huh!”
A man as big as a rock suddenly grabbed his neck and staggered.
In an instant, his face turned red in shock.
‘Cuckoo! 🥳!’ The veins were taut in his ragged neck.
I was startled and took Joan and Sant back with me.
Conversely, people began to flock to the lobby. The guests sensed the commotion.
– Kudangtang!
“Wow!”
His heavy body was limp and rolled around. He couldn’t keep his head down and smirked.
‘Shit!’ It was then that his colleagues realized the seriousness and ran to him.
The Viscounts and Isabelle were also greatly surprised. I hurriedly looked back at Sir John.
“This is enough. please.”
“······Today is a little embarrassing.”
He lowered his eyebrows and gathered his strength.
No, it certainly seemed that way, but things didn’t get any better.
The bad paladin was now sweating profusely. I rolled my eyes in embarrassment.
Inje Bonnie, the problem wasn’t just breathing difficulties due to the air property.
Nausea, dizziness, cold…
“ah.”
This is ‘etheric overpowering’.
“Kristel, Prince.”
I found two mates.
Men and women don’t look alike at all on the outside, but as of today, their expressions are so similar that it gave me goosebumps.
With a bit of exaggeration, it was about to kill someone. Guys!
“Please be patient once.”
“I endured it once before, but that bastard is talking bullshit again.”
Kristel muttered fiercely. Prince Sedric seemed to feel the same way.
In this case, the two were a perfect match.
While Isabelle comforted her daughter, I attacked the children. His voice was slightly reduced.
“Father. There’s nothing good about making a fuss in a place like this. Your Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty Aurely wouldn’t want it either. Let’s rest in peace and then go to the temple.”
“·················ogue.”
“Go to your room and get the ether. Eat something delicious together. Yes?”
As a bonus, we promised the best service. Then he looked down at me,
“Huh! Collok! haha! Cool!”
······· saved a person! I’m dying to be weird I smiled brightly and looked at the two of them.
“hey! it’s okay? Would you like to live?”
“Move! go away!”
“Hey, even if you worry about it, it’s a mess!”
– Wow!
The man who got up scrambled broke the kettle and plate while leaning on the table.
Then, feeling embarrassed to show his ugliness, he hurriedly avoided the seat.
We didn’t even accidentally look at it.
Gonzalo looked at the situation and let out a long sigh.
“Let me charge you for the broken items in that room. Also write down one warning.”
“Okay, Master.”
The staff responded politely and took notes in the notebook. The manager bowed to us.
“You haven’t even been able to get into the room yet, and I’m very sorry to have made you look so miserable.”
“No. There are always a lot of energetic young people in Moreno… If it’s a caravan, you have to bear it.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Viscount. but······. There was also violence in the response of those who came as escorts, so a warning will be given once. This is a rule that applies equally regardless of status or status, so please forgive any inconvenience.”
“Yes, I do. We are sorry too.”
The Viscount Marize said kindly. I haven’t checked in yet, but I’ve been warned.
I adjusted my glasses and asked the manager.
“Hey, what happens when the warnings accumulate?”
“The third warning results in immediate deportation. If you receive repeated warnings on your next visit, you will be permanently barred from entry. Unfortunately, people tend to follow these rules.”
Saying that, Gonzalo looked tired. In an instant, his curly beard drooped.
It was actually an extreme job for an ordinary person to run such an accommodation.
We followed him back across the spacious lobby.
Dozens or hundreds of eyes stared at him, but he desperately ignored it.
– Swag, swish …
Behind the scenes, staff were cleaning up broken dishes and toppled furniture.
When I saw them, I was worried for a moment.
‘Can we rest well without being expelled from here?’
– Come on!
hey, it’ll be fine By the way, I have a ferry in my basket!

“…you’re locking me up in your room?”
It’s not okay, you bastard Jesse Jung from 30 minutes ago!
I looked at the trio of Paladins in shock.
The prince sat down at the table as if he was too lazy to explain.
It looked like he was just trying to fight with his face.
As she looked at Kristel out of absurdity, she blinked her big eyes and tilted her head.
This was also the intention to jump over with cuteness. Hey Father!
“I’m sorry, my lord. Priest Sant is also with me, so please don’t feel too sad.”
“Just because the number of people doubles doesn’t mean it’s not a confinement.”
‘ha ha ha.’ He laughed as if he had heard a very interesting story. Parties are no fun!
“It’s a common occurrence in a pack of paladins in the desert. You didn’t even see the priest in the lobby.”
. . . that’s it.
Paladins and priests are not separated by doubles, but since everyone seems to fight one by one, I didn’t think it would be a priest.
This is also a prejudice.
“Since there have been no paladins in the Empire for a long time, there is no universal relationship between paladins and priests. No matter what you do, the three are always the first. But Penetian New Kingdom is different. The wandering knights from there are even more extreme.”
“Ugh.”
Paladins and priests maintain a strange balance.
The priest provides pure ether to the paladin, and the paladin uses this to unleash special ether.
Since replenishment of ether is essential for paladins, they naturally cling to their priests and sometimes show a coercive attitude.
Rarely, they become completely dependent or go insane. This is something everyone knows.
However, there is one more characteristic.
“It’s a difference in numbers. Priests can be found anywhere on the continent, but paladins are only born in the new country, and there are fewer of them than priests. As a result, strange thoughts spread amongst some paladins. ‘I am a special being, so I must have an even better priesthood.’ Or ‘It is unacceptable for a paladin weaker than me to have a superior priest.’”
“that······. It’s weird. They don’t seem to think of priests as people.”
I frowned. The priest was not like a paladin trophy.
He was an equally precious child of another family, who could choose the right mate himself.
Sir John gently curved the corners of his eyes.
“I thought you would say that. The people I mentioned are not mainstream even in the new country. But the desert is a land without owners, so they can come and do anything.”
“then-“
“There are often duels over priests. I remember that one case of kidnapping and night escape was also reported every quarter.”
“Yes······?”
Mouth opened wide.
Sant nodded in agreement with Sir John until then, but was startled by the last bomb.
You really treat the priest as an item. Is that possible? Do you even close your mouth so that you can’t use the oracle?
I got goosebumps imagining it.
– Horseshoe. How do you find valuable talent?
Hanan (rag doll) riding Demi like a horse clicked her tongue.
The father looked straight at me.
“Do you need more explanation?”
“It’s not like that…”
“Then it’s over.”
The guy who hadn’t opened his mouth once said brazenly.
He tossed a Martian magic sword at me and told me to keep it safe.
It looked like he was going to change clothes and go to the gym.
With him in the lead, Kristel’s mother and daughter and Joan also made a plan to go out.
He offered to buy us souvenirs.
“·················ogue.”
Sant and I looked at each other with empty faces.
*
I don’t talk like this in a while.
I have a housewife appointed by my older brother, who is a householder of the great king, as Yeonguijeong.
“I want to go out too…”
Words like lament came out. Demi and I were sitting side by side, looking out the living room window.
I am confident of playing indoors, but today the situation is very different.
In other words, I had a long overseas trip, but I felt like I was trapped in the dorm because I injured my leg.
Even sitting quietly with the ether locked tight, my moth ached.
Kristel mother and daughter Joan went to see the arena, and Sir John followed as guardian of the three.
The prince had been training for a couple of hours and was washing up.
After listening to the sound of the water for a while, it was hard to hold back the thoughts that jumped out.
I also want to try the food I’ve seen before right away.
I also want to enjoy the view from the top floor. me too-
“Kuh hun!”
Shake! I was surprised by Sant’s snoring, but I was fed up.

Our guts were enjoying a sweet nap with the gods.
Leah, lying on the priest’s stomach, went up and down. It must be heavy, but I slept well.
“After working here for about three days, it is the temple of the border. It seems to have reduced it a lot because of us.”
– Kiying
“I know. How can you survive three days?”
A sigh was mixed with the words. I gave Demi a piece of ice and bruised her.
I was tired of seeing the desert scenery all the time, so I had been sitting by the window in the lobby for thirty minutes before.
You have to watch foreigners and do your best.
“…Giya! babe!”
huh?
“Yeah, cutie with glasses!”
uh? I glanced over and put my head on the window.

On the other side of the circular corridor, someone was waving their hands.
She too was not in the hallway, but by the window of a room.
The outfit under the wavy hair was very unconventional.
For a moment, I wandered, not knowing where to put my eyes. What are you talking to me?
“It’s okay to call you! Are you also a priest? Are you stuck like me?”
…is that a priest over there too?
