< 68 : The White Knight (2) >
“The wind is cool today.”
The sumr sky was blazing with the sun.
A moist breeze flowed in through the open window.
The cool wind brushed my cheek and passed by in the scorching sunlight.
It was a refreshing wind that I could not imagine on a normal day.
I reached out to the window, feeling the wind coming into the house.
And then I closed the window completely.
“But air conditioning is still the best.”
No matter how cool it was outside, air conditioning was the best in sumr.
Beep.
I picked up the remote control and turned on the air conditioner as soon as I closed the window.
The air conditioner turned on and cool air slowly started to flow in.
The outside air was nice in the cool weather, but the cool wind inside was more pleasant.
After turning on the air conditioner with the remote control, I lay down on the bed with my smartphone.
“Then let’s play so gas that I’ve been putting off today.”
I couldn’t play gas properly during the weekdays because I was busy.
I planned to finish everything that I had postponed when I had so free ti.
Thud.
I touched the screen of the smartphone with the loading screen, and soon the ga scene appeared.
The first thing I saw was Eutenia moving on a carriage.
My eyes naturally went to [Divine Relic: Etalia’s Compass] in her hand as I logged into the ga.
“She’s working hard without resting.”
Eutenia had been busy moving around with [Divine Relic: Etalia’s Compass] for days.
Even when I logged into the ga for a mont, it was hard to see Eutenia resting and stopping the operation of the Divine relic.
It was understandable, since the Divine relic had a very heavy penalty.
If you stop using the item arbitrarily, you will have to wait for two days of ga ti to reuse it.
That’s why it made sense that Eutenia was moving around without a break.
“You’re working hard.”
I felt like giving her a reward or sothing when I saw her struggling.
I opened my inventory and handed her a [Sponge Cake].
A cake appeared on Eutenia’s lap, who was looking at the compass.
Eutenia looked at the cake for a mont, then looked up at the sky and thanked as usual.
-“Thank you.”
This should be enough for a gift for her hard work.
There was nothing else to give besides cake anyway.
If I wanted to prepare a better gift, I would have to spin the lottery.
After giving Eutenia a gift, I moved my eyes to the bottom of the screen and started checking the ssage box.
It was to check what happened last night.
When I clicked on the ssage box at the bottom of the screen, I could see so ssages related to Estasia.
-[Cherubim: Estasia] has manifested a miracle.
- calculates causality rate.
-Karma increased by 5 points.
-The number of followers of the Order increased significantly.
-So followers acquired trait.
-Karma increased by 2 points.
-[Cherubim: Estasia] has manifested a large-scale miracle.
- calculates causality rate.
-Karma increased by 15 points.
Estasia was different from Cuebaerg in that she could obtain karma without hunting.
She could obtain karma through special events called miracles.
Moreover, the karma that Estasia obtained was a kind of karma that could reduce causality rate correction factor.
That’s why it was enough to make happy that there were more ssages related to Estasia than before.
“There are quite a lot of events related to Estasia lately.”
In the early days, there were more events related to Cuebaerg, but these days there were more events related to Estasia than him.
It felt like Cuebaerg’s activity cycle had slowed down overall.
The amount of karma he obtained was similar to before, though.
Maybe it was because as Cuebaerg’s activity decreased, karma acquisition increased elsewhere.
It was thanks to the followers of the Order who were actively working.
I read down the karma acquisition ssages with satisfaction and found so strange ssages at the bottom.
“What is this?”
At the very bottom of the ssage box.
There were so ssages that I had never seen before.
I read them one by one with tense eyes.
The content of the new ssages was enough to surprise .
-You acquired skill.
-You can temporarily summon up to 12 distant invitees’ astral bodies to the eting room.
-The number of participants in cannot exceed 12 people.
-You cannot inflict damage on each other in the eting room.
-You can place items from your inventory in the eting room.
-You cannot communicate with the apostles during .
- skill will be deactivated for 14 days after use.
-You can set a cycle to automatically open etings.
I acquired a new skill without leveling up.
The na of the skill was .
According to the description, it was a skill that could temporarily summon up to 12 people to the eting room.
And you couldn’t hurt each other in the eting room.
“? Summon them to the eting room?”
It was a skill that could gather apostles for a eting, or so it seed, but it wasn’t that kind of skill when I read the details.
You couldn’t communicate with the apostles during the regular eting.
It ant that it wasn’t a skill for communication between and the characters.
And you could place items from your inventory in the eting room, according to the description.
That was more absurd than not being able to communicate.
“Why do you need to put items from your inventory in the eting room?”
It was more efficient to go directly to the target and give them sothing if you wanted to give them sothing.
had a penalty of two weeks of ga ti for holding it.
Even if you tried to give sothing with this skill, you would have to wait at least a few days.
But you could freely put things in the eting room.
What was the point of putting bread and snacks from your inventory there?
It was hard to understand from the perspective of reading the skill description.
“…Is that really what it ans?”
I thought about it and realized that it might be true in this ga.
You had to gather them in the eting room and take care of their snacks too.
The more I looked at it, the more amazing skill it was.
And there was one more skill associated with this skill.
It was a skill called .
-You acquired skill.
-You grant a ring to the target that allows them to enter the eting room.
-The target with the ring will be transported to the eting room as soon as is opened.
This skill was a skill that allowed to select the characters who would attend the .
The characters who received the skill were given a ring, and only those with the ring could enter the eting.
The total number of characters who could attend the eting was 12.
skill was not sothing that I could use recklessly.
I sighed briefly and looked at and skills.
I wondered how to use these skills.
“A eting between the characters. How do I do this…”
As I was thinking about how to use the skills, I saw Eutenia eating cake.
Eutenia was eating the cake that I gave her, just like last ti, without leaving anything behind.
Even if the eting was held, Eutenia and the apostles would have to attend anyway.
I would definitely use on Eutenia sooner or later.
If I wanted to test the skill, it would be best to use it on Eutenia first.
“First of all… I’ll give it to her first.”
I decided and used the skill right away.
Squeak.
A target marker appeared on the screen with a cluster of light.
I placed the target marker on top of Eutenia and touched it, and the target marker disappeared and light wrapped around Eutenia.
When the light that wrapped around Eutenia faded, there was a ring on her palm.
It was a gold ring with a mysterious pattern engraved on it.
Eutenia found the ring and smiled as she put it on her finger.
***
Gilford Proud.
He was the leader of Gilford’s rcenary Corps and the Hero of Abundance, and he was now passing through the western part of the empire.
Around Gilford were rcenaries who followed him.
He would have normally gotten a carriage to move around, but this area was not easy to get a carriage.
And it was even harder to get a carriage that could carry all the rcenaries.
That’s why they were walking on foot, enduring the sumr sun.
“Leader… where are we going?”
Jenny, who blocked the sunlight with a thick magic book, asked Gilford, who was walking ahead of her.
Jenny, a mage, looked exhausted as if she had reached her limit of stamina.
She was different from other rcenaries who didn’t train their stamina properly.
Gilford stopped his steps and spoke to her, seeing her worried look.
“It would be better to talk while resting.”
“I agree… too.”
“Let’s all take a break here.”
At Gilford’s order, the rcenaries put down their luggage and sat down on the ground.
Moving under the scorching sun was exhausting even for rcenaries who had crossed countless battlefields.
All the rcenaries sat down and rested, and Jenny also sat down on a nearby rock.
Gilford leaned against a tree next to her.
The lush leaves made a shade that blocked the sunlight.
It was a place where he could avoid the sun.
Gilford looked at Jenny in the shade and opened his mouth.
“According to Ascalon, there are so enemies in this area who are showing signs of unrest.”
“Signs of unrest?”
“They are trying to awaken the sealed ancestor of vampires.”
The ancestor of vampires.
Jenny opened her eyes wide and looked at Ascalon when she heard that story.
The story of Ancestor Pluto was quite famous among mages.
Research on monsters was a common field even for non-black mages.
As far as Jenny knew, the ancestor of vampires was a monster that was sealed in a war long ago.
“Hu, they are trying to break the seal of the ancestor of vampires?”
“Yes. Their goal is to break the seal and get their hands on the Divine relic that was used for sealing.”
“Isn’t that very dangerous? Can we stop them with just our rcenary corps?”
“Of course, since he is powerful enough, we need to stop them before he breaks free from his seal.”
“Leader…”
Jenny looked at Gilford and the rcenary corps with a worried expression.
The ancestor of vampires was powerful enough, so the magic that sealed him must have been powerful too.
They were trying to break through such magic by force and release him from his seal.
They were followers of an evil god.
Their level could not be ordinary.
“Don’t worry. Even if he wakes up, I’ll put him back to sleep.”
Gilford tapped Ascalon and said to the worried Jenny.
Woo woo woo.
Ascalon, who was hanging on his waist, responded.
Ascalon spread his voice to Gilford.
-“The ancestor Pluto is a dangerous being.”
“Even if we all attack her, we can’t beat him?”
-“If Pluto wakes up, she will surely annihilate you.”
“Hmm…”
-“It would be better to finish the job before she revives. Even a weakened ancestor is enough to deal with you.”
Ascalon completely shattered Gilford’s boastful words to Jenny.
Gilford smiled bitterly and looked at Ascalon, then pulled it out completely.
A brilliant light burst out from the divine weapon in the shade.
Woo woo woo.
Ascalon started to vibrate more strongly.
Ascalon, emitting a strong light, continued to talk to Gilford.
-“You should give up the idea of proceeding with a weak ntal state like before.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. If she’s not that kind of opponent, I don’t have to avoid fighting.”
-“I hope you keep your word.”
Ascalon had been showing a negative attitude towards Gilford ever since he faced Estasia.
Tsk.
Gilford clicked his tongue as he held Ascalon.
It was annoying when a colleague who had been fighting with him for a long ti showed such a look.
Gilford also complained to Ascalon.
“You make look so pathetic.”
-“You have already given up your duty as a hero once.”
“…I had no choice but to do that then.”
-“Of course, you don’t have to worry too much this ti. You will have reinforcents to help you.”
But Ascalon didn’t care much about Gilford’s words.
Rather, he brought up the story of reinforcents to Gilford.
He had soone who was looking for him desperately.
Gilford was surprised by Ascalon’s words and asked him about the reinforcents.
“Reinforcents to help ?”
-“There is soone who is looking for you desperately.”
“Soone who is looking for ? Are you telling our location to the enemy?”
-“I have no reason to do such a troubleso thing. It’s just a simple foresight. According to my foresight, she will et you soon.”
“Who is she?”
-“The Saintess of Abundance, Serena Etherlent.”
The Saintess of Abundance, Serena Etherlent.
Soone from the temple was looking for Gilford.
Gilford’s face hardened at the unexpected news.
