Chapter 797 – Winter in the Capital

“By the way, saintess. Do you know anything about higher-level spirits?”
“I know that they are vicious monsters. But I don’t know much about spirits in detail. Aren’t their majors different?”
“It should be.”

People who know this well must be mercenaries or wizards.

Still, I have a few more questions to ask.

“Or in the history of the Church, have you ever fought against these higher level spirits?”
“If there is a paladin near the place where it appeared, I have helped them fight, but… I have never subjugated them with the church as the main axis. Still, if you look at the records, it seems that you have received a request for support.

Is it also not there?

“In the first place, when such a powerful monster appears, it is bound to be suppressed anyway. Whether it is the royal family or the lords, they do not stand still. Normally, there is no case for the church to step out. I hope that will happen this time as well.”
“I think it’s similar.”

The knights of the kingdom and the neighboring local lords cooperate to subdue them, but they do not have the ability to withstand it. Because they are unmatched specialists when it comes to killing monsters invading their territory.

The moment you leave such monsters unattended, the damage increases like a snowball, but you can’t just leave them alone. After all, land is the property of the lords. Such a property that will ruin you if you don’t protect it.

But looking at how difficult it was to catch Arachne, it seems that there are some people who aren’t good at it. It seems like it was a big terrain problem, but I would have done it anyway if I took the time.

Maybe this time will go like that.

I just looked into it once because I was interested because I had no job. Advanced spirits are monsters that rarely appear, but there is nothing wrong with knowing them as they are special beings.

Still, I’d like to take a look.

If you don’t have church work, it would be nice to go to church… Well, I’d like to be subjugated soon. Everyone seemed to be paying attention to it when it was featured in the newspaper like this.

Will there be a star?

That’s how I greeted the saintess and went to the Great Hall.

*           *

As soon as I left Daeshinjeon, I stopped by the market and bought a few things.

Still, shouldn’t I buy something while I’m out?

Anyway, after finishing my errands, I went home, but before I opened the front door, I habitually opened the mailbox without much thought, and there was a pink letter in it.

“Meow.”

As soon as I saw the letter, I thought of Winia’s mother, Xenia.

She’s the woman with the biggest breasts I’ve ever seen in my life. Those breasts that are bigger than Risha and Winia.

There is no one but her to send a pink letter like this to my house.

She was a very self-righteous and stubborn woman. She is the worst at meeting and parting. Since she’s obsessed with Winia, I thought she’d come back in some way, but she’s texting me again like this.

“…”

What kind of letters are you?
Following Elise, I came to that lady.

Could this be sent knowing that I won the martial arts competition?

It’s good.

“I’m here.”

The house is quiet when you enter.

I immediately took off my gear and went up to the second floor, and I saw them sleeping in a room with curtains still drawn. Did you do this too hard? I immediately filled the water bottle with water and put it on the table next to the bed.

After that, I changed into comfortable clothes, packed my things, and sat down in the living room on the first floor.

First, let’s read Elise’s letter.

ㅡtsu that is.

He immediately tore open the letter and pulled out the paper inside.

“Divine Friend…!”

Longing rises in my heart

My true Divine Friend…! It’s been over a year since I haven’t seen you. How have you been?

ㅡChallenge.

I opened the letter like that.

「Dear Divine Friend saints who are more righteous than anyone else.」

“I received your letter well, saint. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve heard from you. I never thought it would be such a pleasure to receive a letter. When I heard that a letter came from the Brass Holy Angel Society, my heart was pounding so hard that I had to endure it until the end of the day.”

“Crying!!!!!!”

As soon as I saw the first sentence, tears were about to flow.

“Some time has passed since the saints left Isvant and went up to the capital. It was unavoidable, but it was very disappointing. Still, I’m very happy that you sent me a letter.”

“But it’s my first time writing a letter, so I’m not sure how to write a reply.”

Just as I regret it, Elise is also regretting it.

“I’ve heard rumors about the death worm, but I nodded my head naturally to hear that it was the work of a saint. Above all, I am fortunate and also glad that you are using your strength to defeat demons and pagans even in the capital city. Just imagining it makes me happy.”

It seems that rumors have spread all over the place.

And, like Elise, a professional divine killer, she was satisfied with the fact that she was killing demons and pagans.

“You said you liked it when I told the story of the defeat of Andromalius to the paladin trainees of the Brass Celestial Society. Since the saints are so eloquent, the scene seems to come to mind as vividly as if it were visible to the naked eye.”

“I cried.”

I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore.

“As always, I am performing sacred service with the church members in Krasheim.”

「We have subdued a lot of pagans, and we are smoothly destroying not only the demons but also the undead that suddenly appeared.」

What?
For a moment.

“I’m having a good time doing what I have to do as an intermediate nun.”

In the outskirts, in the vicinity of Krasheim, heretics and demons. Even the undead are appearing there? It’s been less than a year since I’ve been up, but has there been such a movement?

I didn’t hear from the saintess… No. Since this subjugation is proceeding smoothly, it is included in the story I told you the other day.

And because the Kwangmyeong Star Cross Society may or may not share information. In any case, if the subjugation is being done, it cannot be said to be a problem. But undead… I think this is something to think about.

Let’s ask the saint next time.

Anyway, this is a story that has been around for a few months.

「But, ​​these days, it seems that the movements of such evil beings have increased. Maybe that’s why I feel that my strength is also increasing. Repeated battles are the best way to train.”

You were getting stronger.
I want to become an advanced nun soon.

“The Saints and I have not yet been able to find out about the pagans. Recently, I found traces of a necromancer along with a pagan symbol, but I also failed to track it down. It’s very disappointing. Still, I believe that one day we will be able to find out.”

Elise’s letter touched me and raised a suspicion at the same time.

Are the pagans on the periphery moving again?

Of course, the members of the church must be on their nerves… But a lot happened around there, so won. I don’t know if it will be dealt with properly.

It doesn’t mean much if you’re good at brushing your teeth after things happen.

It’s best to prevent things before they happen.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever written a letter, so it seems like it was messy.”

“I also want to meet the saints again.”

Elise…!

“Then, please work hard for the day we will meet again someday. Because of the saints, the world is becoming a little more righteous.”

“Divine friend Elise.”

“Kuhh…!”

When I finished reading the letter, tears began to form. Elise also told her about her current situation of her. She does this so she can be impressive…!

“Divine Friend…!”

I shouted as I stretched out my arms in the air. I have no doubt that we will meet again someday. Yes, let’s work harder from now on so that we won’t be ashamed when we meet Elise again.

The reason to be strong has increased.

— Jureuk.

A single tear flowed down.

I immediately made up my mind, folded the letter and put it in an envelope, then went to the armory and put it in a box in the corner. Sooner or later I’ll have to take care of one more thing and send another letter.

By the way.

“Fuck.”

I have one more letter left.
This is a letter from Xenia.

I’ll have to find out what you’re talking about first.

I opened the letter carefully, being careful of anthrax, and took out the contents and read it.

“Let’s meet again soon.”

“Two of us.”

“What’s the end of this?”

There was no particular content. You two want to meet? But looking at it, there’s no such thing as a schedule, so it’s not a spam mail. Write a letter once and for all on a plate that would not be enough even if you wrote it politely?

This is not polite.

ㅡPerong!

I immediately popped the letter on top of her hand her, adjusting my mana, just like I had popped her clothes her in a martial arts tournament. This technology can now be used to some extent. A technique that causes an explosion by forming an aura and instantly concentrating it to infiltrate it.

Versatility is high.

Anyway, let’s do some training.

After a while, when you come down, show me the newspaper and ask me about the spirits.

*           *

“A higher level spirit?”

Karin and Risha showed interest. Two women sitting next to each other pick up a newspaper and start reading together.

“Do any of you know anything?”

After waiting for some time, I asked them.

“Even my sister has never seen this before, so I can’t say anything. I’ve fought fairies before.”

It was Karin who answered first.

“What base did you say you recaptured?”
“Yes.”

I’ve heard of fairies before.

“High-level spirits are not very common monsters. They don’t appear often and the number of them is small. Of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t appear at all, but my sister has only heard about them. I’ve never fought them myself.”
“Draw?”

Karin didn’t know much about higher-level spirits. It’s also rare, so I can’t see it, so I don’t know.

Of course, this does not mean that it does not appear.

In the last fifty years or so, it seems that it has appeared several times in the Karga Kingdom.

Karin said that she had heard rumors of a higher level spirit appearing once when she was a mercenary, so she probably only appeared once in the last 20 years.

If you didn’t say anything, you’d have been subjugated safely.

“Still, I know that they are fucking strong because I’ve heard this and that. They’re high-ranking spirits, they’re bastards who are almost like direct subordinates of the spirit kings.”
“The Spirit King?”

I’m hearing that again.

“What is that?”

When asked, Risha answered.

“The spirits believe in higher beings.”

Superior existence.

“The spirit kings can be said to be the finest magical creatures that are said to exist in the spirit realm, but since there is no record of the spirit realm, it is not known in detail.”
“Uh. That’s right. And what? Isn’t there a rumor that higher level spirits are created by receiving power from the spirit king?”
“Even the original woman has heard about that rumor.”

Karin receives Risha’s words.

Listening to what you say, it seems that Risha doesn’t know that well either.

“Anyway, about the higher level spirits… I’ve only heard of them through rumors, but I’ve never seen them myself. They’re so rare, you don’t know where they’ll appear, and they’ re subjugating tribes when they appear, so you can say it’s very difficult to see them.”
“That’s right.”

You may not know.
Because Risha is a black magician, not an elemental mage.

But here a new question arises.

“Then Lisha. Can you explain the spirit realm or the spirit king?”
“As I said, even the original woman doesn’t know it well… To explain what I know, the birth and existence of spirits is a very questionable thing. You could say it came into existence.”

Lisa explained that.

“I don’t know, so is it just a hypothesis that they thought their world was somewhere?”
“It’s almost like that. In this world, other worlds, such as Hell where demons live and Demon World where demons live, do not exist adjacent to each other. So it would be strange if there is a spirit world? Besides, the existence of the kingdom of fairies has been confirmed.”

It’s a little difficult, but it’s a credible story.

“In addition… As far as I know, the spirits have made such a claim quite a long time ago. Of course, the spirits do not want to properly communicate with beings other than the spirits, so the truth is unknown. And , what It seems that there is also an oral tradition that the spirits shouted the name of the spirit king and used magic. But that’s all, there is no record left systematically, so I can only tell you this.”
“No, thank you. My curiosity is solved.”

Anyway.

It seems that there is a possibility that higher-level spirits may have received power from such spirit king bastards.

That’s why it’s strong.
