Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party - #226 - Chapter 226

Reunion with the Wolf

Wealth creates power, and power attracts glory. Money goes not to those who really need it, but to those who enjoy power.

Therefore, the places of the powerful people I have seen all had their own beauty. Sometimes it was old-fashioned, sometimes it was luxurious. Even the texture of a single table was so excellent that admiration came out. So was the tower, and so was the temple. Not to mention the Imperial Palace, of course.

Even demons had a hard time resisting the temptation of wealth and glory. When I was at the Hero Party, I looked around at their residence after exterminating the Demon King level demons, and they were decorated with splendor.

In the imperial product, precious silk clothes. Jewels all over the place. I’ve seen a lot of those things. So, I guessed that Epirna’s palace would be like that too.

“This is… is it really a palace? Even if I search through everything I have, I don’t think it’s as good as the golden statue in the museum.”

But it wasn’t. empty hallway. empty wall. A wall that is hard to find even a window, let alone art or treasure. No matter where you looked, there was no shiny place, and the material that made up the castle was not special.

“Epirna, the monarch, cared about her authority, but not her wealth. I didn’t have any greed on that side. That’s why the castle is so monotonous.”

In the meantime, he was trembling with anxiety and could not eat, and only after confirming the outcome of the battle, Mr. Pedro, who had a pale face, was the first to claim to be our guide. Walking around the palace, Abu spoke to Roca.

“By the way, Sir Leon. Did you not promise me that you would work as a master of the empire? But if it’s the general of the Beast Kingdom, wouldn’t the distribution be a bit strange?”

“Oh right! I made a promise like that… I didn’t think about the next day, so I just made it…”

Behind the scenes, the princess and Mr. Leon were arguing. When the general of the self-proclaimed beast kingdom surrenders to the empire, this is no different than acknowledging a vassal state from the start.

Then, of course, from the beginning of the dynasty, public sentiment will hit the bottom. Rocca had no interest in such a serious matter. At first, he seemed to think of his place as an annoying flea.

“But I didn’t say when I was going to commit to the Empire, so let’s discuss it slowly. First off, it’s not that important. It’s not important. What’s important is that we’ve captured the palace, isn’t it? now. Let’s take a look around first.”

“I don’t think there is anything at all.”

“Hey, our lord. You won’t know this until you get to the end. do you know There may be some important treasure hidden by Epirna.”

“Can’t we just destroy the golden statue in the museum? I keep thinking that it might be the most expensive thing here.”

Leon laughed haha.

“I want to, too, but I can’t.”

“yes?”

“The world is so fast. As soon as the news spread that Epirna had self-destructed, people tied the statue with ropes and knocked it down, then flocked like ants and dismantled the statue.”

“……”

“It was spectacular. I didn’t even go to Suwangjeon, I thought I’d go there. If you pick up a single fragment, how much is that?”

haha. That’s a really fun story…

The story of a woman who made a statue of gold to show off her authority. I suddenly thought that it could be made into a fairy tale later.

If it had been a stone statue, it wouldn’t have been shattered even if it wasn’t splendidly shiny. Even if it was broken, it would have been possible to reconstruct the stone statue by collecting the stone fragments. This time, we can bring it to the museum as a real collection.

But now, people will melt all the mined pieces and turn them into gold bars, no matter what you do. The gold statue collapsed faster than anything else because of its splendor.

If it was made of stone, it would have lasted longer than this. It seemed like an anecdote from which to learn.

“Anna is going to torture me with this for the rest of my life… so I’m not going to be ripped off by finding any treasures here.”

Roca seemed to have run out of interest in the last remaining interest in this beast kingdom. He couldn’t even breathe as if he had given up on everything. He seemed to think that there was no answer here.

“If it’s a treasure, it’s already in my hands.”

“That too?”

“This road.”

Even this child is not interested in money, so she is close to Epirna. Instead, they are greedy for things that can actually enhance their skills.

Loka couldn’t stop laughing from before. Couldn’t take it apart for even a moment. It is said that the mother’s womb left by his master recognized him and became the shape of the Tao.

“My own way, created by smelting the mother’s womb with my own magic strong machine. There is probably no treasure here that surpasses this.”

Rocca’s confident shouting seemed right. Epirna’s palace had nothing more than a rich man’s house.

The more he looked around the palace, the colder Roca’s gaze became. The desire to become a beast king, which I had never had before, seemed to be hitting the bottom now.

“I’d rather the royal palace be more glamorous than here…”

“Really… is there anything good about it? No, after looking around like this, something good has to come out, isn’t it normal? Did you extort the money and use it all to make the statue?”

Saying there must be something there, Mr. Leon looked all over the palace and wandered here and there. I thought I didn’t know what would come out of that, but I was wrong this time too.

It was as if the Lord had reminded me that I was wrong just thinking about it, saying that stereotypes only create prejudice. Treasure… I don’t know if it was, but something was really found in the courtyard of the royal palace.

“what? Is there a stone statue here? Guy Kisea, if you’re going to run away, turn off someone else’s petrification and run away… Wait, this is… Isn’t that a robo? No, it’s hard to recognize because the face is all weathered, but…”

Has anyone else been petrified? So when I heard Leon’s voice and went inside, I saw a stone statue of a familiar shape. My eyes narrowed. It was a completely unexpected encounter.

“Hey, sister? Didn’t you run away? Why are you there?”

Loka, who followed me around, scratched her head. Of course, it was impossible for Kisea-san, who had already turned into a stone, to answer.

In hindsight, this reunion is a tragic tragedy, but the power of the Lord makes it not a tragedy. Roca wasn’t sad at all, and she was mournful again. He seemed to believe without the slightest doubt that I would return it anyway.

“It didn’t run away, it was petrified. I’m sorry all of a sudden. I really thought he would have run away, but after all, he doesn’t know the world. You don’t know.”

“If it hadn’t been petrified, would it have run away? Or will he come back?”

“What are you asking me for? It’s a question with a fixed answer.”

Leon was troubled by the princess’s question.

“One vote that I would have run away. However, it must have been that he didn’t run away now.”

If this change had been an irreversible change, everyone would surely have been sad. I’m sure it was.

I have no doubt that all of these people here are good people. I believe they are reacting like this simply because they can return it to divine power.

*****

krrr.

A beast of shoes walking slowly through the eastern plains, seeing something as big as himself, sticks out his tongue as if wary, hissing. The dragon, who had been resting for a while enjoying the sunlight, slowly got up and looked at the mysterious creature.

[What. Do you have any complaints about me being here?]

shhh! shhh!

For a dragon who had regained his body after a long time, it was worth savoring even a single breeze. Kyle put the right thing aside and was enjoying his leisurely time, but when he saw a monster that suddenly appeared, he was upset.

However, the monster was wise. The hydra wasn’t timid, but wise enough to avoid a collision. It was the least aggressive among monsters. Above all, there was no order given to him.

The real owner, the Demon King, has not left any instructions to himself in recent years, and the temporary owner, Epirna, has died. Her last order was not to interfere in the fight.

So the current Hydra seemed to have been unleashed. I had the freedom not to choose a fight. He didn’t want to collide with that one of the same size as himself, so he kept his boundaries and slowly widened the distance. The dragon was old and did not pursue it.

[Hey, look at that guy. Aren’t you smarter than that ignorant gray wolf in the subject of microbes?]

Now that she has regained her body, Azahadaka feels good. I felt very good. I was able to pass on the rudeness I had suffered the other day with the generosity of the dragon.

Only one. I can’t really forgive the guy who grabbed himself and shook him, slurping slurs against a young subject, talking about lizard skewers, or really trying to drink alcohol with himself.

[Still, the wolf seems to have the best ability to escape.]

The dragon yawned as he saw the Hydra leaving. He also canceled the magic he had been preparing for. No matter how much a monster it is, it cannot be compared to the one who has regained his body. There is no need to go to Breath, and you can cook it simply by magic. In fact, it might be possible with just a hand-to-hand combat.

That guy is well off. The ability to detect crisis is very good.

But Kisea is one step higher than that guy. The damn wolf fled to an unknown place before he could give himself up. The dragon thought so.

[I say I was lucky this time, but if we meet again, I will give you a big heart.]

What is it like to be a master? That’s just the human realm.

The dragon really thought so. Even the North Pole didn’t really care.

A person with quite a bit of skill for an earthly race.

Because only rumors abound, the reality is only that much.
