Chapter 21 Grave Robber (1)
Lachar kicked out Allens as soon as the new year dawned.
Fortunately, his squire, Walter and Jeremy, were ordained.
However, the two did not remain in the Bennet family’s knights.
– Looking at your efforts so far, I will give you a job, but I have no intention of taking you with you while giving me a green salary.
These were the words Rashar summoned the two of them.
At her recommendation, the two of them obediently left the Order.
He had the title of knight, but had no affiliation, and became a free knight.
Even after the two of them left, time continued to pass.
‘It’s already been 3 months since the server was connected.’
In the meantime, Bihar has been slowly but surely undergoing change.
The first change to point out is that 99% of players have chosen a faction.
And the resistance army was disbanded, and the reorganization of the church-oriented troops was also over.
The existing resistance forces guarding the area adjacent to the contaminated area, as well as parts of the imperial army in the rear, were reorganized under the name of the Order.
Under the crest of the World Tree, which means harmony, the troops of the 7 major churches were created.
Other than that, there are changes such as territorial recovery following the purification of contaminated land.
‘It’s not that Harbon is slow, but in terms of purification speed, Robole is the fastest.’
Perhaps the central government will have to start moving the main military base in the forefront sooner or later.
Following the territorial recovery, the reaction of the inhabitants of Bihar changed.
At least the Biharis at the forefront have gotten used to the player’s presence.
‘The fact that a player association was created there is also a remarkable achievement.’
The leading players I was interacting with joined the denominations that fit their respective positions.
Due to the large number of people, the situation was that they evenly dipped their feet into the 7 major churches.
Led by them, an association was established to provide information and guide players.
It didn’t show up in the affiliated tab of the system, but it was officially posted in the community.
‘I don’t have any special moves right now.’
At least that there is a group to represent the players.
And that players are aware of their existence.
‘Only two things are meaningful.’
While the changes were taking place in Bihar, I was not playing around.
He steadily accumulated magical power and became a silver plate, and received additional buffs from the Palao Church.
‘Now the attribute magic amplification is 20%.’
It didn’t end there.
With the help of Ahel, he learned how to divide mana into the four elements and, after a lot of hard work, made a core.
It went beyond the condensation stage, where magical powers gathered in an uncertain form like fog, and reached the concentration stage, where magical powers could be created like smooth glass.
‘The skill level doesn’t go up so badly.’
Even so, in just a few months, he had attained the same qualifications as the world’s advanced knights.
It was a really great achievement considering that the people of Bihar can reach it over a few years at the shortest time and a few decades at the longest.
To achieve all of this, I spent really busy days.
Of course, being busy will not change in the future.
Even today, I had to go out for an external schedule.
When I finished preparing to go out and went down to the first floor hall, Chentler was waiting for me.
He said he had something to say before I left, and he came down to see me off because it would be hard to see his face for a while.
‘They said they were going to the territory where the marquis is.’
Facing Chentler, I asked a question I wanted to ask.
“Do you know when Rashar will be back?”
Chentler smiled awkwardly at him and replied.
“You came home this morning.”
I glanced upstairs.
“Even if I go up now, it will be difficult to meet you, right?”
I didn’t get an answer back, but it was obvious even if I didn’t listen.
It’s been a week since Lashar has been avoiding me with all his might.
To be precise, I should say I’m avoiding the words that will come out of my mouth.
There is a high probability that you will not meet today.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to take a step back.
“What about the external schedule?”
“As far as I know, not for the time being.”
fortunately
‘Not now, let’s go and see the opportunity.’
I left the mansion, being escorted by Chentler.
But I couldn’t get far and had to stop.
The moment I came out of the entrance of the mansion, I heard a pop, and the back of my head tingled.
I bit my teeth and looked back.
“Let’s say hello in a normal way, normally.”
When I spoke while glaring at him with fierce eyes, I heard nagging along with the sound of clicking my tongue.
“You pathetic bastard for not even noticing this level of presence.”
It was Shamel who appeared out of nowhere and slapped me on the back of the head.
‘This old woman again.’
In the past two months, when I recalled the time I had spent under her, whenever I saw her face, I felt angry and gnashed my teeth.
But teaching is really, no joke.
After being trained by Shamel, the frequency of using a spear in real combat increased dramatically.
Up to now, there is no case of putting down a spear and switching to another weapon.
What can we do when we can see changes and achievements like this?
We have no choice but to endure this unjust violence under the guise of education.
So, wouldn’t it stick to the side and eat it all the way to the bone marrow?
“Are you leaving already?”
Shamel, who was tongue-tied as if I was pitiful, said in a displeased tone.
“Yes, the location is ambiguous, so I want to move quickly.”
“To go out with that skill… … It’s a relief if you don’t die abruptly somewhere.”
If left alone, another hour would be the basis for nagging.
I pretended not to hear Shamel and started walking again.
Since Zentler had already prepared a wagon, he intended to leave immediately.
Of course Shamel didn’t give up easily and continued to talk to me while following me.
I opened the storage box, listening to it in one ear and letting it out in the other.
What he took out from there was a magic tool with facial recognition disorder magic, the face of the shadow.
‘It’s a bit inconvenient to dangle around, but.’
Now, it has become a must-have item for going out.
As soon as the magic tool was worn, the cognitive impairment magic was implemented.
A white figure with plain brown hair and auburn eyes was reflected in the carriage window.
It took a while to look at the familiar face.
“I’m big,” he said, turning to Shamel, who cleared his throat.
“I’m coming.”
“I wonder if I can come back alive with that skill, but try your best.”
Thanks to experiencing it a few times, I learned that it is Shamel’s expression of support and concern.
Every day, she nags, criticizes, and reprimands and ignores me, but it’s not that she hates me.
It was something I could tell just by following them all the way and seeing them off.
It’s not that Shamel hates me, it’s just that his personality itself is eccentric.
‘I can’t hate you completely because you pretend to be like this and worry about me.’
When it comes to likes and dislikes, it is close to dislike, but there was an ambiguous corner to cut out and say that I hate it.
I let out a shallow sigh and shook my head.
“Yes, yes, I will definitely come back alive and show you a tired face, so look forward to it.”
Shamel muttered and nagged once more, but I pretended not to hear and got on the carriage.
After leaving the mansion, the carriage quickly entered a boulevard crowded with people.
More than half of those people were players.
As I closed my eyes and listened, the conversation outside the carriage became clearer.
“A set of Katra equipment? Isn’t that a bit expensive?”
“It’s black iron instead. Even if you get hit by an evolutionary species, you’ll be fine.”
“Are you really going to buy it?”
“Hey, did you think they were buying equipment over there?”
“How many people are in the party?”
“Should I shave?”
“Let’s wait.”
“Ah-oh! What do you do with a locker, you have to pack your backpack again every time!”
“Really, what kind of trouble is this every time?”
“I wish I could give you an update. In the beginning, he was great, but why is he so quiet these days?”
“When will the new polluted fields open?”
“well… … A few outposts were opened last month… … .”
“Why are you so dead?”
“Because of those who don’t manage chaos. If you only have a chance, they will start a fight.”
“Shall we move on to the second star?”
“Are you crazy? do you want to die?”
“Don’t you know high risk high return? If you don’t take a risk, you don’t gain anything.”
“This time, the camp is being moved from Robole… … .”
The messy conversation was peaceful. It was a very contradictory expression, but it was the most accurate.
It meant that the players were perfectly adapted to the game.
Right now, I wasn’t unfamiliar with seeing the players in this place full of people.
That sight has become natural.
All of this has changed over the past three months.
I looked at the peaceful scenery and was lost in thought.
‘3 months… … .’
A lot of things have changed in the meantime, but among them, there was one thing I was watching with the greatest interest.
‘Resurgence of the Palao Church.’
Reviving the Church was necessary for my own safety.
‘Right now, it’s all about hunting in low-level polluted areas.’
Later, you will have to participate in a full-scale war with the troops of Bihar.
Even in preparation for that time, the church had to grow.
‘We have to make sure that the final decision makers don’t use Palao’s troops as meat shields.’
A minority without power is always easy to be pushed as a scapegoat.
How many people are willing to sacrifice themselves in the world?
Most of them are close to being sacrificed by the coercion of others.
To prevent such a thing from happening, we must become a force that cannot be ignored even though it is a minority in advance.

Jordan was thinking the same thing as me.
‘That’s why we’re working to restore the name and influence of the church.’
The first thing I did with the money I took out of Belego’s safe was to take care of the believers scattered all over the continent, so I said that.
In addition to investing a lot of money to help believers in need, work was also carried out to bring those staying in dangerous areas near the front to the interior.
‘Most of them are old people with limited mobility or young believers who have lost their guardians.’
As if to repay those who did not change and believed in Palao, blatant and naked support continued.
‘not bad.’
Thanks to that, Palao’s name was on people’s lips again.
Why don’t other denominations do what they do for the Palao who has slanted?
You shouldn’t have abandoned Palao and left.
I was once a follower of Palao, so ask for relief items.
Most of the voices were from those who sold shame, but it was clear that the Palao Order’s presence had begun to revive again.
‘But it’s not enough.’
The amount of money flowing into Belego’s safe was not small, but the limits were clear.
Taking care of believers now is only possible because there are only a few of them.
If you include player support there, you are spending all of your operational funds.
It comes to the conclusion that more funds are needed than now to expand the influence outside.
However, the immediate fixed income of the Palao Church is very small.
That’s why I came up with recommended missions scattered throughout the contaminated area.
The rewards the system guaranteed to me, the gold stars floating on the map, were by no means small.
‘It’s dirty, but even if you shake it off well, you’ll quickly collect hundreds of millions.’
I informed the church of the high-risk contaminated areas that I couldn’t enter.
And the place I could enter was in the process of collecting loot by moving directly.
Thanks to that, the church’s financial situation was improving day by day.
One of the reasons I went out today was to solve that recommendation mission.
“Kei-sama, we have arrived.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Just then, the coachman informed them that they had arrived at the temple.
After saying thanks, I went straight into the temple.
The place to go through the open gate above the world tree was the northern base, Vicheta.
* * *
It is about two days from Bicheta Castle to your destination.
“Tsk.”
When I arrived at my destination in the middle of the polluted area, I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
‘Why is it underground?’
Because the contamination I was aiming for seemed to be under the ground.
I checked the map again, just in case, but nothing changed.
Obviously, I am standing in a place with a golden star, which means a recommended mission.
However, no matter how much they searched for the Meseo mark, they could not find Meseo.
In the meantime, I found a tunnel that leads underground, so what does that mean?
He squatted down in front of the oyster and sighed deeply.
‘It’s ambiguous to enter like this.’
There were a lot of normal field mobs because there were two 2-star pollutants nearby.
‘A rough glance, three times the normal.’
The black dots marked on the map were very crowded.
It wasn’t a good option to just leave them alone and go underground.
If the guys on the ground come to the basement, I’ll be like a rat in a poison.
As long as you don’t know the environment or geography of the underground, it’s right to go in with utmost care.
In the worst case, the ground may sink while fighting inside.
Of course, it wasn’t a serious problem. It’s because I can cover it to some extent in my ability line.
‘It’s good that I gave Ahel magic lessons.’
As a result of constant education from him, I was able to disassemble and use elemental magic into the four elements.
Since it has the earth attribute, it won’t be buried in vain.
‘Wouldn’t it be difficult if the mana runs out before we can escape?’
In order to minimize the risk factor, we decided to deal with the variables on the ground and go down.
“Annoying Siri.”
I murmured softly, leaving the tunnel and getting up from my seat.
