Chapter.9 Star Fall (19)
****
“Oh my god. “What is that…”
“It’s blasphemous. We need to call a priest right away-”
Whispering and whispering!
“Hey, Notum. Well… how can I not make new friends? “Be quiet or something…”
“Gwok? Buytum and Wocha were quiet from the beginning. Look. That appearance as calm as a firefly. The rest of the guys followed suit and were very calm and cute.
“No, I’m not talking about the personalities of those souls, I’m talking about that light! Light! As it gets dark, the gloomy light from the crowds of souls is so noticeable! Look at what people are looking at! Do you know how many priests me and Borka ran and stopped using anything other than the Turn undead spell?”
“Hey professor! Don’t blame Notum! How can we blame him for his talent is beyond imagination! Hmm…. I guess I need to make a soul jar for Notum as soon as possible…. What was a bottle of crystal drops in a lump of moon rock?… Where do you get a soul that can handle that level of talent…. If it’s the elves… “Maybe…”
Aldchi is constantly muttering something and calculating, and Notum is following behind with a fierce look on his face. And countless souls follow Notum, leaving a blue afterglow like the tail of a comet.
After much deliberation, the destination was decided by majority vote, and the group was now crossing the city toward the headquarters of the Gwangmyeong Church.
Crack!
“They said it well. “When I told them that we were a group of warriors of light, they praised us and said that it seemed like a great priest was with us.”
“Thank you Borka.”
“It was nothing. If I work hard, I won’t feel less sorry. “If you think about it, the one the captain chose was related to his family, but he had to give it up because of me.”
“What is family! In any case, I believe that by utilizing the strategic value of the eastern desert country and the friendship with the person presumed to be the factor, negotiations will proceed more easily than in other directions…!”
“Hehehehe! If you are a person who has promised your whole life, you are family! “It was truly beautiful to see him hold back his regrets and give in.”
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: I agree. While holding back what I wanted to say, I thought, ‘Then… shall we go west?’ It was so sad that I almost cried.
– Roru Drug: Rakshasha! shallot! Ah, when is the female hero unit coming out? I’m getting dizzy! Please show me the female character quickly!
“I… I… #@(*$&(*(!!!!”
I shouldn’t say that. Why should I vote to go to the East in front of all those people?
In conclusion, vote It was divided into 1 person from the eastern desert zone (Professor), 2 people from the southern Great Forest (Aldrich Notum), and 2 people from the Western Elven Forest (Otman Borka), so the southern and western regions were tied. Which do I prefer, the Great Forest or the Elven Forest? Just as they were wondering whether it would be easy to get there, Borka with a very complicated expression caught the attention of the group. ‘
I have something to tell you.’
‘What is it?’
‘My children. Those who manage the church’s information visited and said they found the whereabouts of my children. .
‘
_ They say he was last seen after being sold. I’m sorry, but… How could it not be possible?’
.
.
.
.
Ding. The situation is over.
In response to Borka’s earnest request, the party eventually unanimously agreed to head west from Roderick here, called the Blue Line. They agreed to use the Elven Forest as their destination after crossing the mountain range, and are now heading towards the church to receive supplies.
Chaeng-!
“Stop! I’m sorry, but an important meeting is currently underway within the church, so entry by outsiders is strictly prohibited. What do you do – a hero?!”
“Huh?”
“Big, big, big eyes, covered in scars, and wearing barbaric clothes that reveal scars! You’re a hero! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you right away. I’m going out to carry out a mission as a special envoy of the church. I heard that you were there, but there was a fisherman incident here…?”
“Oh, well, you’ve had a lot of trouble. I came here to see if I could get some supplies to get to the elf forest.” Maybe
it was because it was night, but the security was tighter than when I saw it before. The professor, who was taking out the holy relic, was a little taken aback by the very different treatment. This was decided around this afternoon, and not only did it say that the warrior professor was a special envoy of the church, but his external characteristics were such that even an unfamiliar paladin could recognize him at a glance. It was distributed evenly to everyone.
“If it’s an elf forest… Are you really going to persuade those ogres?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Oh my god…. I heard about it through message magic, but I can’t believe I’m reaching out to a degenerate sub-race who actually turned into a human….”
“Light Ratura! This is terrible. We cannot understand it, but since it is also what the Archbishop said, it must be a will of light that we cannot see with our small eyes. I have no choice but to believe and follow.
“It’s going to be a long and rough road, so you need to take good care of yourself. Come on in! “The church’s supply depot is over here.”
The two paladins guarding the main gate quickly moved to the sides, clearing the way for the party, and offered to guide them. Although the two paladins said they would follow the archbishop’s will, they seemed to have great doubts about sending a special envoy to persuade a different race, so they were constantly gossiping about elves and other races while guiding the party.
“Just in case, I’m telling you, don’t believe what they say! “Earlies are evil-minded and vicious from birth, and they can’t even put a word in their mouth that isn’t a lie!”
“The priest said that the reason their lifespan is so long is because Roharam did not want to see them, so they stayed on earth for a long time instead of by his side. I hope you don’t suffer from the vicious elves and come back safely. Such beasts are better suited to be controlled by wielding a mace rather than a warm hand.”
“Uh… I understand. “I’ll keep those words in mind.”
“Remember! “These people of different races can’t even become humans – ugh!”
“Oh, I understand! Go and defend the main gate! How long do you plan to leave the door empty? Shut it off right now… Make it go away! Before I personally report your laziness to my Prince Gregory!”
“Huh! “Everyone, just the leader!”
“Yes old! All right!”
Clap, clank, clank, clank!
In the end, he was able to escape from their uncomfortable conversation only after sending the two paladins back with a threat using threats.
-Whoa.
Behind him, Borka, who had been keeping his mouth shut, could be heard letting out the breath he had been holding.
“I’m sorry, Borka. “It must have been uncomfortable to hear.”
“No need to worry. “I came out of the forest and wandered around the human world, and I heard stories like that all the time.”
“How could you not care? The guy who keeps his mouth shut like that and doesn’t even make a sound. Even if you say that, you wouldn’t be upset. You were holding it in so as not to make that growling noise, right? breath?”
“……”
“I will apologize on your behalf. “There are not only people like that in the world, so please don’t hate humans too much.”
Jump, jump, jump, jump.
Borka closed his eyes and said, looking at the building of the Gwangmyeong Church, which illuminates the surrounding area as brightly as daylight even after the sun sets.
“I know. If there are people like that, there are also people like Captain and Aldrich Ottman who consider us equal. I don’t feel disillusioned with humans to this extent. But…”
Even now, when I close my eyes, the remnants of the past clearly appear. Purr’s children, dressed in raw animal skin clothes they made themselves, run around the forest.
‘Dahlia Tushan Marka. Please just stay alive.’
“I can’t guarantee that my children will do the same. From his hometown to Roderick, and from Roderick to being sold west through several slave trades. All the human beings that those children experienced would have treated them like animals, just like those bastards. Depending on the children’s condition… I might be like that too.”
“Hey…”
“There’s nothing to comfort you. “It is not the time or reason to be comforted yet.”
The professor was unable to say anything as he saw Borka suppressing his anger like that.
****
“Keu-cha!”
“Hey warrior! Calm down and listen to me! My thoughts were short! When I think about it again, with the warrior’s bright power, the journey to the west might not be so difficult…”
“Hey supply priest! What are you saying! As we go to spread the will of light, why should we leave even a 1 percent chance of making a mistake? If it’s because of the weight of your luggage, don’t worry. I am a person who uses my strength amazingly. Ah, this looks good too. [Rope soaked in consecrated oil]… Can I take this too?”
Rattling-
“Captain. “There are more pouches of holy oil here.”
“oh! After all, Borca! “Bring it now!”
“Oh no! Please leave now! please!”
About ten minutes after the professor and his party entered the supply warehouse of the Gwangmyeong Church headquarters, the face of the priest in charge of the place was becoming more earthy as time passed. I have already cried out Lo Haram’s name dozens of times. Ah, how did he greet that crazy warrior with a smile! I should have locked the door right away and called the paladins and monks!
Of course, whether the supply priest’s face was the color of dirt or shit, the professor and Borka were focused on eating the contents of the huge warehouse, jumping around like grasshoppers, leaving the priest running after them.
“Oh, let’s see. Who made this warehouse so complicated? Also, good things are hidden deep inside. oh? “Is there a box like this in the haystack for horse feed?”
“I told you to get out! get out! Are you planning to tear down the denomination? “You insatiable hero!”
“Oh my! If you swing something like that in a place full of hay like this…”
Grumble!
“Oh, no! “The church’s supply depot is on fire!”
“Good luck! “Say hello to the archbishop!”
“Boo bull! It’s fire! Boo woo!”
In the end, the professor coolly turned his back as he saw sparks fly from the candlestick wielded by the supply priest who had lost his temper onto the haystack and the fire quickly spread among the dry hay.
“Well, everyone has taken care of enough, so let’s go!”
“Are you leaving me like that?”
“No need to worry. Isn’t this the headquarters of the Gwangmyeong Church? A fire like that can be extinguished in an instant. “Really valuable items don’t burn easily in a fire that small.”
“Um… are you sure? Even at a glance, the flame’s momentum is unusual…”
“No. “If we can’t manage even a small accident like that, we can say the war is over.”
“You are right. Leader. “The person who manages that supply depot should learn to value things more.”
Borka looked very relieved as he stuffed the huge bag he received from Tobrunn to the point of bursting. Borka, who looked refreshed as if the stress he had received from teaching had completely disappeared, was very actively participating in the professor’s ‘dissemination’.
“I know. Brandishing a candlestick in a warehouse full of precious items. So things like that happen.”
“Hmm…. [Hydraulic sphere] [Hydraulic sphere] [Hydraulic sphere]. “This should be enough.”
“Young Master! Let’s go quickly! “I’m going to get caught like this!”
“Hey Ottoman. “Aren’t we a group of warriors who came to ‘request’ supplies to the church?”
“I don’t know, Aldrich. I… gave up understanding that friend in Pellas after he buried me in the forest and left me alone… [Hydraulic Sphere].”
Finally, Otman threw a large ball of water toward the warehouse one more time to confirm that the fire was completely extinguished, and with difficulty turned away from the vain look in the priest’s eyes through the gate that the professor had broken down. I could only sigh deeply as I watched the professor climb over the wall carrying an entire cart that was filled with so many things that he had even tied it with rope.
“Light! Why! “For what reason are you subjecting me to this ordeal?”
Behind them, the mournful sound of a priest kneeling in prayer echoed in the smoke-filled warehouse.
****
– Speed Wagon: I can’t say anything about this. Crazy guy.
– Jokass: I dare say it was truly behavior befitting a wasteland person.
– Heungan Mandu: Well, there’s nothing particularly wrong with the professor, right? Clearly, the supply priest said with his own mouth, ‘Oh my! You can take as much as you need for your mission! How much money is there for this Haram event? ‘That’s why we have denominations!’ I told you so, right? That completely destroyed the professor’s remaining conscience. It’s all my fault.
– Holly: Still… there is such a thing as common sense, right? Like why? Just like in a restaurant where drinks are free when you order food, people don’t drink unlimited drinks just because they say it’s free. That’s what came out in the ‘Morals of the Past’ video lecture I learned.
– Noru Drug: Sounds like shit pouring out of a high school girl’s mouth?
– Namba Three: They give you free drinks? Then you should order food and bring the drum to receive it. Why do you just leave it there?
– Nutria Gena: That’s right. Does the dome turn people into assholes?
– Holly: You are too much!
– A whale is flying: I apologize instead. The only people left alive now are people like this.
– Holly: But… I’m sure the professor would understand! professor! You obviously did that because you had a good intention, right? Yes?

“Hehehehe… That’s right… Of course, it has a meaning as wide and deep as the ocean, so isn’t it true that you received support to build a warehouse like that? Everyone…” The
professor was in no mood to care about wild public opinion. It wasn’t. Because right now, before his eyes, a cart full of supplies for the brilliantly shining Gwangmyeong Church Festival was piled up.
[Item:
– Wheat bread blessed by a low-ranking priest x 187: Increases stamina when consumed (small) / Does not rot /
– Halmanen Strauss Fish x 40: A rare fish caught only in a few areas. It is famous for its scales that emit a bright shine, and its fish skin is used in the processing of various decorations, but it is also famous as an offering offered by the Gwangmyeong Church to Ro Haram. Increased visibility when consumed (15m / 30min)
– Oil of Light x 50: Holy oil of the Church of Light that emits bright light.
– Top quality charcoal x 83
– Rope soaked in blessed oil (50m x 1cm): A very thin rope specially made by the church. Although it is mostly used for religious ceremonies, it is also very practical. It is one level higher than the ‘thick tarred ship rope’ used by sailors. It is often used as a weapon.
– A handful of light x 130: Throwing weapon. A glass bottle containing a small divinity made by the Gwangmyeong Church. Although it is made strong, when the upper iron hook is pressed, the end cracks and becomes fragile. If you throw it and break it, it briefly emits a very powerful light containing divinity.
– Top-quality camping equipment set
– High-quality fruit wine (700ml) It is a luxury item worthy of being offered to God, but it must be stored delicately. The value was slightly reduced due to excessive shaking.
– A monk’s gauntlet that causes great miracles: An item made for when a problem arises that cannot be solved with faith and faith alone. The monks of the Gwangmyeong Order deplore their failure to keep the scripture’s teachings to avoid violence and focus more on their training. The monk’s desire to hit as few as possible in order to avoid committing more sins was reborn as a gauntlet with strong attack power.
– Martial Arts Gwangmyeong Fist Strike Skill Book: The doctrine of the Gwangmyeong Church is based on coexistence and avoiding violence, so many monks feel self-destructive about their training. This martial art was created by a monk who was suffering from such self-destruction and had the belief that ‘if you throw a punch faster than light, even Ro Haram will not see it and will turn a blind eye to it.’ It describes how to inflict a strong blow to an enemy with a quick, flash-like movement. Acquired upon use.

Churrup!
“Hehehe…. How much is this? As expected, the headquarters warehouse in Gwangmyeong! “There is not a single item that is not of the highest quality!”
It means a lot. Ah, I don’t mean much! Since we have realized such a large profit, what does it mean if it is not a big deal?
Fearing that someone would chase him, the professor passed through the castle gate guards with a huff, holding up a cart and rubbing the holy relics on their foreheads, and came out of King’s Land. He was immersed in the happiness of a bank robber, laying out the items he had ‘supplied’ in the dark, deep forest.
The list of items was endless, so it was difficult to read them all. That’s about it, I only checked items that had more value than regular items with names flashing in yellow. There are still some things piled up in the cart, and there are also bags that Borka swept up in anger, so if you check, you’ll find more than that.
“Huh! Huh! Let’s do it together! “Go!”
“hmm? Oh, I’m sorry, Ottman Aldrich. “It was a bit far for a wizard to jump, right?”
“Gwok. I carried it on my back. “They both shook like wet rags.”
“Uweeeek!”
“Ghost old man master. Is that ectoplasm? Am I right?”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull be necessary so much that we could have just packed them in moderation…”
The professor said with a smile on his face as he watched the group gathering in the forest one by one.
“Ah, if you ask for it, I’ll give it to you, but since it’s a war situation right now, it’s obvious that they’re going to go out of their way to not give you anything useful other than food or necessities. At any rate, they would have required a million different procedures and documents to receive a box of holy oil. “Priests who manage such supply depots are usually selected as the strictest people in the church.”
Take as much as you want? That sounds funny. From the moment the supply priest revealed that I was a warrior of the church and requested supplies, he had the look in his eyes like a warrior going into war. If I were to put it in words, it would mean that I just did it because I felt like I would have to just mess around with supplies for a week. I do not know. I guess the archbishop will take care of it. It’s not like the denomination doesn’t have money. It was something you really needed, right?
The professor took out a ‘handful of light’, each item carefully wrapped in cotton, in a luxurious box, and played with it, grinning. If nothing else, this was one of the indispensable items for crossing the Blue Line. If you have this much, you will be able to pass the Blue Line full of undead as if taking a walk.
