Chapter 485 – Killing Demons

All I received was 2 silver rewards and a ticket.

Compared to what he killed, it was an extremely extreme amount of money, but there was no way to prove that he had slaughtered all the demons in the first place.

In order to prove it, you have to draw that much devil’s blood.

When you kill a demon, black blood comes out in liters. Even if it evaporates a little, the amount is quite large. This time, all I brought was a demon stone the size of a fist and a sheep’s blood that filled about half of a canteen.

If I had brought all the blood, I would have paid for it… But it’s a pity.

Due to the lack of information, they did not receive all the correct compensation. There wouldn’t have been any guys who moved with a water bottle from the start.

All the blood of the demons he ate was money.

“Fuck.”

At a glance, it seems that other adventurers are in the same situation as me.

And, in fact, where can you catch the devil alone?

After gathering their heads together and killing them in a pincer attack, they will each receive blood in their canteens.

Of course, there is nothing to count as one devil for each canteen.
It is only natural that you have to collect all of them to get a reward.

After doing a rough calculation, it seems that if I took all the blood of one demon by myself, it would cost about 15 silver.

“Didn’t the fucking bastards tell you about it?”

There must be some cubs who went without knowing, killed the devil, and blew away the reward because they didn’t take all the blood properly.

It’s a bit like cheating, but if that happens, everyone except the adventurers will benefit, so it’s okay. Because the lord will save the reward money and the church will be able to kill more demons anyway.

There is no obligation to tell you the truth.

It is the fault of the person who moved without knowing in advance.

Most of all, it seems that you have to collect at least 50 tickets to get a useful weapon. Assuming you get about 7 or 8 tickets per demon, you have to work really hard.

It’s a high-end piece of equipment, so that’s understandable.

The great I was wearing was also quite high-end. Still writing well.

“Hmm…”

I pondered for a while.

What Hildegard said was uncertain, but appetizing information.

If you report that there is a demon gate and then go with the Paladins and break it, you will get a really fucking big reward.

But there is no guarantee that what she said is true.

Could it be that he simply said it to trick me into killing me? Of course, even if there were traps, there was nothing to worry about if there were Paladins in the Brass Castle Society. I trust those demolition experts.

My only concern is that she hit her yoke simply to talk to me…Well, there’s always a risk with an opportunity. You have to take risks in everything, but you can reap the benefits.

If you are the pastor of this church, you will definitely organize your troops in response to my report.

Because there is so much trust.

As long as the information is true, it is an opportunity to reap great rewards.

Should I just report it right away?

“…”

As the head of the household, I cannot decide these things alone.

Let’s just let the wives know.

I immediately left the church and went home. On the way, I was careful that Hildegard might catch up with me again, but she never showed up. She did, but she ran a little fast just in case.

It’s still morning, so all four of them should be at home.

She returned home

“Is the bastard here?”
“Did you come early?”
“Yes.”

Winia greeted me. Are Cloudy, Karin, and Lisa still asleep? She said last night she asked three of them to do a little bit much.

“Did you receive compensation from the church? How much did you give?”
“Uh… That much.”

I immediately handed out her two silver coins and her ticket to her, and she gave me a puzzled look.

“Is this all?”
“That’s what I mean. I guess you have to take all of the demons’ blood to properly reward you.”
“Hah? All of that? Ah… That’s right. I had to take care of everything.”

Winia should have told her about that too, she grumbled.

Of course, this is not an important story.

“Winia. Did I meet the succubus again this morning?”

I got the point right away.

“What a bastard say?”
“Did I tell you last time? We met one more time in the city.”
“…Therefore?”

Winia’s eyes narrowed.

I already informed her wives that Hildegard was targeting my soul and trying to contact me. Everyone was interested in her, but she wasn’t too worried except for Winia. Because I believe in my fighting ability and strong spirit her.

Come to think of it, she also got an amulet from Risha, but she couldn’t use it. At first she couldn’t use it because she was trying to kill her, and then she didn’t want to use it because she was getting information.

“Anyway, that bastard gave me information that seemed pretty useful.”
“A succubus giving you information? Aren’t you trying to seduce a bastard? Bastard, the other sisters don’t seem to worry too much, but I’m a bit worried.”
“No, don’t worry. He can’t touch me.”

To reassure Winia, I added that I was using her dragon to kill a succubus. However, it is not possible for each other to subdue each other because both skills are subtly lacking.

There is a bit of a gender difference.

“It’s not like that. I’m worried that a bastard will lose his spirit. No, some succubus is going after a bastard… What’s going on, this.”
“It’s because it’s never taken away. Don’t worry Winia. Do you believe me?”
“Where’s the absolute? I believe in bastards, but if you lose your energy, you’ll die.”
“I’m not looking.”
“…That’s right. It’s full of bastard spirits.”
Hehe, there’s nothing to lose in the first place. Anyway, what is that information?”

Right after seeing Winia, I took out her map of her and explained the information Hildegard had told me. Winia, who had been listening to my story all along, nodded her head as she checked her map.

“So… You’re saying that even if you can’t believe it, if it’s real, it’s quite helpful?”
“That’s right.”
“Why the hell would a succubus give a bastard that kind of information?”
“First of all, they say they’re going to buy my favor… Well, it’s my intention to use it if it’s possible.”
“That’s right. If the information is correct, it’s a lot of money… This is a bit worrying.”

Winia seemed to be contemplating whether she to use this information or not.

“Even if it’s a trap, if you go with the Paladins, there won’t be much of a problem. I want to check it out.
“It’s hard to believe in a succubus, though.”
“That too.”

While I was thinking about Winia and her head for a while, Cloudy came down from the second floor.

“Kat… What are you talking about? A succubus?”
“Oh, Cloudy. Are you awake?”
“Yes…”

Cloudy, wearing a purple negligee with a sensual design that only reached her belly button, was so alluring. She casually came and sat next to me and demanded her explanation of her succubus as she sat down.

Retelling her story her, Cloudy nodded her head.

“Then, do you want to go there? Katt, do you need to worry? If you go with the paladins of the church, there will be no problem. If there is a chance, you should aim for it.”
“No, sister. But she’s a succubus.”
“Winia, is that a concern? Hehe… But I want to see with my own two eyes that this sister is a succubus.”

People like Hildegard are dead the moment they meet Cloudy.

“… If she’s it’s your sister. Well, if she’s it’s your sister in the first place, then there’s nothing to worry about.”

It was concluded that the information was used in this way.

*  *  *

The next morning.

I took a new map and went to the Brass Holy Angel Society Church again.

The map that Hildegard had personally marked was kept at home. Because you can’t show the church people a map with the devil’s mark on it. I bought a new map and marked it identically.

Thinking of getting rid of it quickly, I came out alone and started sprinting, and soon arrived at the church.

In front of the church stood a priest, as always.

The priest who cut his face with me.

“You are working hard today too. I have business, so can I see the senior pastor?”
“Looking at you running, it seems that you are in a very urgent matter. Of course, I have to let you see me. Follow me.”

She was guided naturally. Relationships are also very important. Originally, the senior pastor was a difficult person to see.

I’m able to meet like this because I’ve made a lot of contributions so far.

Hehe, sorry to keep bothering you.”
“You’re like an honored guest of the church. Take it easy. Wanting to see a senior pastor doesn’t mean there’s something else going on, isn’t it?”
“It is.”

I was guided to the usual guest room and waited for a while. In the end, he and his wives decided to use Hildegard’s information. He, of course, also consulted with Karin and Risha.

ㅡ Kikkiik.

“Was the dagger I gave you useful?”

While waiting, the door opened and a senior pastor with a benevolent smile entered.

“Very helpful. Severed some demons. Thank you very much.”

I immediately stood up and said hello.

“It’s really nice. But seeing that you killed the demon… That’s probably why you’re here today.”
“This is also a pastor, so you have a different insight. That’s right. Today I came to talk about that very thing.”
“Indeed…”

With a serious expression on his face, he nodded and sat down. I also sat down, took out a map from my pocket and spread it on the table.

“What about this map?”
“This is the map I’ve been using for the past few days searching for demons. Here, you see the path I’ve marked?”
“I see. You’ve been spending so much effort to defeat the devil. It’s really touching.”
Hehe, isn’t it obvious? It’s something we have to do.”

While clearing my mouth like that, I explained to the senior pastor about the information I had heard from Hildegard, dramatized appropriately.

Of course, he didn’t say that he received information from the devil. It is a story that must be hidden.

To the end, I made up the words that I did my own research and found something suspicious. This is what I was talking about while discussing with Winia yesterday.

“I felt a serious evil energy in this area marked on the map. The atmosphere here was different. I actually caught a demon there.”
“That kind of thing… Evil energy… Hmm…”

Pastor Ajae listened to me as if he were listening to the most important story. As he pondered over my words, he sweated and changed his expression moment by moment.

Perhaps he is having an ominous imagination.

Still.

I don’t know if anyone else will, but if I tell this story myself, it will surely help. This person is like that. He’s so sure, so he’s come to speak.

“So, I ask you to investigate. Of course, it can be dangerous, and it can be a waste of time. However, I have had the experience of crushing evil beings many times. That’s what I’m sure of. This requires investigation.”
“Investigation… You mean?”
“That’s right.”

I jumped out of my seat and stood up and spoke with confidence as if to persuade him.

“This is definitely something worth investigating. Maybe the demons’ gate is on this side. I discovered it myself, so I’ll accompany you and guide you. Please help!”
“The devil’s gate! Whoa! I will pray for a while, so please wait…!”

Taking the rosario out of his bosom, he squeezed it tightly and began to mumble something. Did it get eaten? It seemed that he was quite shocked by the word Devil’s Gate.

“Pastor. I will guide you myself. Please help me. This is a problem that I cannot solve on my own. I absolutely need the church’s help. Of course, this could be my mistake. In reality, there is nothing better than that .But I’m just suspicious. It’s a character you can’t see.”

I said while holding both of his hands.

“So, as soon as I witnessed such a situation, I investigated and reported it. I am a person who can never tolerate those who harm the public interest.”

Would my determined will be conveyed to the pastor’s father? Our eyes met. He was looking at me with perfectly straight eyes.

“…Good.”

Did it happen?

“Your pious and righteous heart has been fully conveyed to me. As you have trusted and devoted yourself to us until now, it would be natural for us to reciprocate that will this time.”
“…What about that?”

ㅡHmm.

Clearing his throat, he cleared his throat and answered.

“We will organize paladins, priests, and nuns as a search force. May Verdenim’s blessing be with you!”
