Chapter 570 – Good Friends to Meet

“Saints. There was nothing suspicious about it. All the residents were cooperative, and there was no friction.”
“Then I’m glad.”

After roughly gathering the information, it is said that there was nothing suspicious.

Whether it’s Elise or the Paladins, they’re good at finding suspicious parts. Since there were no such people, it is safe to say that there is nothing strange about the village right now.

Of course, it’s just that there is nothing suspicious about ‘material’.

All the villages in the Mist Plains have already been on the dragon’s ship.

In addition to the map I bought from the village chief, I personally met the villagers to make sure there were no other maps.

Maps made by these guys cannot be trusted 100%.

It may be that key information is hidden and only the residents know about it… Well, it’s only when you’re deeply suspicious. It is necessary to secure at least a large number of data.

Other maps were the same.

“Of course, these are good people, but for now, we have no choice but to be suspicious of the whole situation. Professional human trafficking by cultists is rampant. It’s suspicious enough that there are villages that don’t know about it.”

Barcharell seemed to think the same way as I did.

“But there was nothing suspicious about them… As of right now. So nothing can be done at this time.”

I have my suspicions, but I do nothing because there is no material evidence. These righteous people never move only from their heart.

It’s the same for me too.

“I was just introduced to another town, so I’m just going to check it there. It’s probably going to take some time. Yes. The saintess gave this week’s time, so she might not be able to achieve results.”

I’ve already spent several days just moving.

“Is there anything special? Since we have a map anyway, we have no choice but to make an appointment next time.”
“That’s true… But it’s already happening and I don’t want to ignore it.”

Barkerell sincerely wanted to wipe out the sinister crimes that had taken place inside the Mist Plains. He was a genuinely righteous man, although he would suddenly grow whenever he heard the sound of a heretic.

“Well, let’s get some rest today. We’ll have to start moving again tomorrow.”

After saying that, I left the room where the Paladins were stationed with Elise.

If there are no problems, just take a day off and leave tomorrow. They bought supplies at exorbitant prices and paid for the investigation by finding lodgings.

“Saints. It is said that there is nothing suspicious, but the doubts are true.”
“That’s right. Actually, I have my doubts too. The cultists even specialize in human trafficking, and I don’t think there’s any way I haven’t been to a town like this.”

Whether it’s for human supply and demand or to open a business partner.

If there is something similar to the cultists’ stronghold, you will be able to use force. If so, you can ‘force’ them to cooperate in human trafficking by going around the nearby villages with a spear knife in front.

Because the villagers couldn’t stand the pagans.

Threatening to kill him, he had no choice but to do it. Pagans can do enough of that.

“I think so too.”
“Of course, it’s just a thought. You can’t do anything with a heart attack.”
“That is also true.”

The Light Star Cross Society is a very radical sect. However, even if they are radical, they are the forces of good, and they protect the good as much as they do.

Don’t touch it without evidence.

It is common sense and basic. Religious people abide by these things very thoroughly. Rather, corrupt city guards often do not think about these things and conduct coercive investigations in the absence of evidence.

That is why religious people are respected.

Of course, if suspicious evidence is found, it turns into a nightmarish screaming monster in less than a second.

“You may not find the cultists. You may not find villages that support them. Well, it’s a pity, but that’s a good thing in its own way.”
“…I guess so.”

Anyway, we went into the dorm room.

Roughly speaking, the lodging was a room for the members of the Brass Holy Angel Society, and a room for me and my wife. Then, they were divided into rooms for Elise to use. Let’s take a break for a while.

*         *

After spending a day in the village, we started our journey again. Since we had a map, it was not difficult to find our way. I went to another village and, as expected, received cooperation.

The map obtained there was also different from the one received in the previous village, but about 80% was similar.

“Mo, I don’t know. Something like that…”
“Hmm.”

Also, the village chief replied that he did not know anything about the heretics.

Are they hiding something about the heretics as a group? It’s a bit difficult to think that the security maintenance between villages is so thorough…

Maybe the cultists ordered us to keep quiet because we killed all of them when we went looking for the meteorite. If so, the evidence would have been destroyed.

Anyway, I don’t know.

If there is nothing suspicious, just leave.

Since time was running out, from the second village onwards, he did not take a break, only collecting maps and information, and then constantly visiting other villages. This work was a repetition of that work. I don’t know anything, so I have no choice but to run into it.

I investigated the village with the cooperation of all the residents. Looking at it like this, it seemed that there were quite a few people living in the Mist Plain. It seems that the resources are rather rich.

—-A few days for that.

We found a village quite remote.

Acquired maps were collected and combined to create a large map in its own way. This village was quite far from the other villages.

A little bit out of the way.

“We are paladins belonging to the Brass Holy Angel Society! Heretics have been hiding nearby! We have come to investigate him, so please open the gates of the village!”

As always, Barquerel shouted loudly at the entrance to the village.

“I won’t let you in! I can’t just let outsiders into the village! Go back!”
“…”

But isn’t it the first time in my life that I have been rejected? At that unexpected cry, our party froze for about 5 seconds. Up until now, all villages have cooperated, but all of a sudden no?

“Captain Barcharell.”
“…Wait a minute. It’s only natural to be wary of outsiders in such a secluded place. I’ll try to talk to you again.”

Barquerel also looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected to be rejected. Who would refuse to cooperate with the paladins of the church serving the strict camp to hunt down the heretics?

Common sense makes no sense.

“I’ll say it again! We’re under orders from the Order, and we’re on a mission to establish peace, peace, and justice around here! Evil cultists lurk in the Mist Plains! That’s why we’re here, so please cooperate for a moment!”

Barcharell shouted again, and soon the answer came back.

“Ah, we can’t admit outsiders anyway! We don’t want to get involved in such a dangerous thing! Go back!”
“You’re saying you can’t even go in for a second!”
“That’s right! Go back now!”

The answer that came back was a refusal.

“Saints, this is…”

Elise grabbed my collar with her hardened face her.
These bastards… They’re getting suspicious.

“I don’t know yet. Let’s wait and see.”
“Huh… To show such bravery in front of such troops.”

Cloudy also grabbed my shoulder.

“Huh, he must be hiding something.”

He seemed to be enjoying himself somehow. My heart is also starting to tremble. At the same time, the atmosphere of the other priests and paladins also became vicious.

“Um… Bastard. Can I get ready?”
“Maybe?”

Winia also corrected the staff.

“Captain Barcharell. What are you going to do?”

I said to Captain Barcharell, who was staring at the village entrance with his arms crossed.

“…Suspicious.”
“Yes.”
“It’s very suspicious. To refuse a simple request for cooperation… I don’t want to doubt it, but I’m suspicious.”
Hehe, actually I think so too. Unless there is something to hide, there’s no way they wouldn’t allow entry.”

At first glance, the police are raiding illegal gambling, so gamblers are shouting that this is not such a place.

Barcharell shouted again in a ferocious voice.

“Why not! The heretics are dangerous, so please open it! Tell me the reason! It’s an endemic disease! There’s a priest over here! You don’t have to worry!”
“If it’s not possible, you know it’s not possible! If you are the messengers of God, do not commit any more rudeness and return quickly!”

Wow, look at those fucking bastards.

The paladin squad, now fully armed, is dangerous because of the heretics, so they ask you to open the door, but they try to stop it. If you have that kind of kkang, you will succeed no matter what you do in the world.

“…Anyway, it’s suspicious. It’s hard to clear any more doubts.”

In an instant, Barkerel’s eyes changed.

“Gentlemen. Violence is not permitted at this stage. Peacefully.”

Barkerell, who was looking towards the village entrance, turned around and spoke to us.

“Begin suppression.”

ㅡKoo-gu-gu-gung!
ㅡTodadadadadada!
ㅡPapapapapat!

As soon as Barkerel’s command was given, the Paladins and Priests jumped out. He didn’t draw his sword. Because I was told not to use violence, but to subdue it.

But is that possible?

I don’t know, but paladins are superhumans. Even if you don’t use weapons, you can knock down villagers with just your toes.

“Uhhhhh!!!”
“What the hell is this!!!!”
“Don’t do this! What the hell is this?!”

Paladins did not open their mouths.

After violently smashing down the entrance to the village, they went inside. Then, surprisingly kindly, he began to subdue the protesting residents with fists and palms.

“Yaaaaa!!”
“Aaaaa!!
“Save me!!”

Resentful residents flew through the sky and soon fell. Humans don’t have wings. He was only blown away after being hit with soft punches and affectionate hand slappers.

Is this nonviolent suppression?

“Saints! I’m going!”
“Okay!”

Our group of four also entered the path the Paladins had made.

“Aaaaa!!”
“Stop it!!”
“What are you doing!! You guys are paladins!!!”

The inside of the village was already in a bad mood.

Only ten paladins and priests formed their own groups and ran, knocking down all the villagers in sight. Of course you shouldn’t kill him. Because this is just an act of minimal suppression!

“Where are you running away!”
“Aaaaa!!”

I, too, attacked the fleeing residents while practicing the lordship of the Heavenly Demon.

Hehe, you bastard. Where is the village chief?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know!!”
“Don’t you even know where the centipede village chief is?”

Still, I couldn’t hit it, so I immediately took off the gauntlet and hit the forehead of the subdued villager.

ㅡ It’s so pretty!!!!

“Kreurreuk!!!”
“Uh, uh? You bastard!!”

But the kid got hit by one and passed out while blowing her bubble.

I saw that my forehead was red and swollen.

“You crazy bastard!!!”

In any case, the suppression was accomplished in an instant. Already, a platoon of villagers had their heads slammed into the ground, their hands folded over the back of their heads. It was a part where you could feel the work-handling skills of the paladins.

“What the hell is this? Stop it now!”

Just then, an old man shouted loudly, and the chaotic scene stopped.

Is that the village chief?

The Paladins who were moving the subdued residents to the center tried to approach the village chief.

I apologized to them and went ahead and stood in front of him.

“Are you the village chief?”
“I’m the village chief! What the hell is this! God’s messengers doing this! It’s not too late, everyone, go back!”

The village chief, whose back was still not bent, was not frightened when he saw me.

This bastard… Is there something in the back?

More award-winning

If there is a back boat in such a remote village, it is the award itself.

Hehe, going back. That can’t be the case. Didn’t you hear that there are heretics? It happened because you guys were acting suspiciously. I hope for your understanding.”
“How rude is that!”
“It’s not rude, it’s just legal process. Of course, if there’s no problem, we’ll release it safely and make amends. Recognize that this is an emergency, Chief.”
“What the hell is this…!”

As we were talking, Barkerell shouted.

“Report when you’re done subduing the villagers! Don’t let even one move!”

The suppression has already been completed. There were less than 50 residents living in a small village. If there are only ten divine commandos, it is not a task to subdue them.

Soon, all the residents were tied up with ropes like gulbi.
