Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 196



Only Noblemtl

196. I know everything. Let’s go home. It was after leaving the damp basement that Bonnie Chego turned off the light.

“I would like to hear your thoughts.”

“Do you really think so?”

“Recently, the church has been drifting, unable to handle the public opinion of those who are tired of the old temple and are turning against it. Also, after being divided for a long time, there are differences in even the smallest details.”

“….”

“That’s why I was curious about your thoughts as a saint of the previous generation, who has devoted two lives to fighting against Ise.”

I crossed my arms at Bonnie Chego’s pointed question.

Isera. It was definitely a topic for thought.

At least in this world, there is no topic as important as this world and humanity.

“I didn’t really have any particular thoughts…”

The mummy of the stone throne.

After meeting him, who was a former adult and probably an Aura Awakener in his lifetime, a small but definite change came over me in my perception.

“Ise is not a subject of compromise. Strictly speaking, he is the natural enemy of humans.”

At least if you wanted to stick to your current lifestyle, you had no choice.

Some people may say that natural enemies are necessary for the ecosystem and nature to maintain balance, but there is no creature that accepts natural enemies while considering the grand balance.

This attitude was naturally applied to the way people viewed other races.

“And as long as the gods of this world exist, they will not be able to tolerate other races. The moment their favor is turned against them, the balance of power will collapse completely, so it is only natural. Sometimes, evil must be done…”

“wrongdoing?”

“Surely you’re not going to deny it.”

There was an undeniable truth.

The truth is that what human forces, including the church, are currently carrying out against other races is an inexcusable massacre.

How just would it be to sever a species and erase forever from the face of this earth the intelligence that created civilization?

Anyone who tries to justify such evil deeds is either a piece of trash or a coward.

Maybe you’re obsessed with the idea that you have to be on the right side, that you have to be good.

But a creature that is only good cannot exist. If there is one point of view that I greatly agree with, it is this.

Life thrives by eating other life forms and filling its stomach with their blood and flesh.

There was no reason for the logic of good and evil to intervene there.

“It is a cruel act to end a species that had grown enough to become civilized, their countless histories and bloodlines, but it is for the good of my people.”

Until now, humans have been eaten and only those chosen by the gods of this world have prospered.

I burst out laughing as I looked at Bonnie Chego, who had a bewildered expression.

“Can’t I do what’s right for my people without that?”

***

Meeting the mummy of the Stone Throne was a very momentous event.

First of all, the authority has been upgraded.

Stories that we had only heard through Bishop Ganista and even confidential information that even Bishop Ganista did not know about have now become available for us to read, transforming tourism to the Holy Land into training in an instant.

Among them, there are those whose names have been mentioned only until now, and who the church has desperately tried to hide.

Learning the secrets of the other race was a major turning point.

As the black cloaks centered around Boniface led the way, I realized how many secrets were hidden in the shadows of the saint.

The four districts of the city had hidden alleys and underground passages that were unknowingly vulnerable to defense.

It was a deliberate weakness, and at the same time a trap to capture enemies.

Naturally, near the trap, there were facilities, monks, and priests to legally study the captured alien species and devise countermeasures.

The first race I encountered up close was the orcs.

Technically, there were elves, but elves were so handsome and pretty that they were just like humans, so I didn’t feel anything special about them, whereas orcs were very different.

“This is an Orc. They have muscle density that far exceeds that of a normal human, and this allows them to display explosive strength and agility in an instant, overwhelming human swordsmen.”

Contrary to the commonly known nickname, Greenskin, his skin color was not green.

If I had to be specific, it was the color of a granite rock with a little moss on it, but what really caught my eye was its massive body.

I estimate it to be about 3m long.

The thickness of the forearm is comparable to that of an average adult male’s waist.

No matter how advanced the taxidermy techniques of the church were, it was clearly a dead corpse. And yet, the tendons that were still vivid and protruding from the skin were not easy to get past.

Even a bodybuilder who bulked up with Royder would look a little shabby in front of an Orc.

But the most shocking part was something else.

The black cloak in charge of the orc training cut into the orc’s skin with a sharp obsidian dagger, revealing the dense layers of muscle, and then sighed.

“Fortunately, there were few casualties from the inexperienced okra before reaching adulthood, as they were not fully grown.”

“You’re not fully grown?”

“Adult orcs are about two palms taller. Above all, they have these layers of muscle. Each layer has a different texture, so they act as a kind of biological armor. It’s difficult to properly wound them with normal weapons unless you aim for a vital spot.”

Boohoo, boohoo.

As the strong smell of disinfectant rose, the muscles, which had become slightly transparent and drained of blood, were torn apart.

“But this body structure is not natural, it is a deformed appearance. If the demons had not intervened, they would have developed an exoskeleton instead. We still do not know all the ways the orcs’ body works, but thanks to this, humans have hope of fighting them.”

hope.

The black cloak in front of his eyes continued talking while wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

“The orcs’ unusual physique and muscle mass causes them to rapidly deplete their stamina. They also have a particularly low level of sweat glands, making them vulnerable to heat, and as a result, they can only function in cool places with little sunlight, such as dry, cold regions or foggy forests.”

“therefore.”

Are we supposed to have endless one-on-one duels until the orcs tire?

When I asked that, the black cloak raised its head with a bewildered expression and looked in this direction.

“Usually, we take turns in groups of three and use wheeled combat to reduce their stamina. It is common to throw the crossbow or javelin we brought with us to take their life. If we do it alone… it’s impossible.”

It seems like this wasn’t enough.

“Do not engage with orcs even out of pride. Humans can never stand against orcs.”

The black cloak looked at me with a much more serious expression and warned me.

“Even without the favor of the God of War.”

-The greenskins I was looking for were goblins, also called dwarves.

Their skin was exactly as green as I had imagined.

However, their actual behavior was slightly different from that of a normal goblin, despite their appearance.

The black cloak in charge of the goblin training was a sharp-faced, brown-haired woman, and instead of bringing a dissecting dagger, she brought a thick book.

I was wondering if it was similar to human anatomy when he brought me a book with a goblin corpse in front of me.

“Great Goblin Tactics?”

As soon as I saw the book cover, I doubted my eyes.

Then, as if he had known, the black cloak snapped its index finger and said.

“Goblins are the most alien race that humans have ever encountered… and the most humane of all the races that have confronted us.”

She said that goblins are one of the few races that are physically weaker than humans.

Their lifespan is short, their physical abilities are poor, and their bodies are not very large, so they are disadvantaged in many ways.

However, goblins were the first to develop writing and a system of records to overcome their short lifespan, and they focused on studying group tactics to overcome their weak physical abilities while advocating a totalitarian ideology for the good of the community.

Their main tactic is to use close-knit formations to block the enemy’s approach and project long-range firepower, as opposed to guerrilla warfare that takes advantage of their small size and agility.

Today, the Church is said to be more wary of goblins than of other races.

Even more so than that elf.

Although not as strong as the elves, they are a surprisingly strong enemy who fights most effectively against human armies with versatile tactics in various terrains including forests and swamps.

“Given their rapid generational succession, high reproductive capacity, and the presumed preservation of written and written systems, goblins are the most likely race to rebuild their civilization.”

“More than orcs and elves?”

“It’s much more dangerous. When dealing with orcs and elves, we send out knightly orders, but when it comes to eliminating goblins, we even mobilize secular lords.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“The church considers them more dangerous than orcs and is hunting them down. If you find any trace of them, please immediately begin eradicating and subduing them.”

I understood in my head that it was dangerous.

However, goblins are much more dangerous than elves and orcs.

Something is not allowing my emotions…

Besides that, I learned about countless other races.

This only applies to species that are believed to still be alive, not to those that have already gone extinct.

Thanks to this, I learned that many more ethnic groups than I thought survived despite the church’s continuous activity over the past thousand years.

Currently, the only races that are certain to survive and could threaten the human race right away are Orcs, Elves, Goblins, and Sea Spawn. If you include the four species that are estimated to have survived, there are roughly 10 species.

The only captured specimens here were orcs and goblins, so most of them relied on records or hand-drawn drawings.

“The illustration is a bit strange…”

No matter how I looked at it, something that looked like a fish with scales was flying in the sky.

Could it be that there was a species of fish that could fly in this world?

As I was about to marvel at the world where mystery truly lives and breathes, the black cloak that had been staring at me shrugged its shoulders with a proud expression and said.

“It’s been 300 years since the first report of the discovery of the statue. It’s a painting that was recreated by collecting folk tales and tales, so it may seem a bit unfamiliar.”

“Was that a bird? Not a fish?”

Wiggle-.

It was at this time that a vein appeared above the forehead of the black cloak.

“Your Majesty, you have a lot of opinions about my artistic achievements.”

“Tsk.”

It seems that the Vatican must choose a black cloak as its artistic model.

***

The training ended sooner than I thought.

After studying day and night for about five days, there was nothing left to learn.

I also obtained a relic that would cure the aftereffects of the root shadow nematode, received a promise from the Pope that wasn’t a promise, and learned about the alien races I might fight in the future…

Now that I had almost done everything, there was no reason to stay in the castle.

“Huh?! You’re going back like this?!”

However, our colored cloaks were shocked and stamped their feet.

“I think I’ll have to live here to meet His Majesty, but it seems like a sad place for an outsider to live, so I’ll just go.”

After informing the colored cloaks guarding the inn of my departure, I immediately found a ship.

“What? Even if it’s a black cloak, there’s no place to burn it.”

These things are usually easy to solve.

“quadruple.”

“Your ship is… just a pittance, compared to my principles.”

In times like this, use the VVIP card.

He lifted up the stigmata carved on the back of his hand.

“If you escape this damned saint and go to Illeniphut, the island of dawn, I will grant you a blessing as the manifestation of my stigmata.”

“Hey! How much money do you take from an adult? We will be leaving in a day, so if you come then I will treat you specially!”

It was fortunate that I didn’t bring an escort.

If they had even provided a guard, I would have rotted away in this horrible prison for a few more weeks.

But before leaving, there was one thing left to do in the castle.

This assignment, which left an unpleasant aftertaste, like a vacation diary that was postponed until the moment when summer vacation ended and school started, was surprisingly easily solved.

“Starlight of the world, please forgive our desperation…”

On the deck of a ship leaving the city.

“Warrior King!”

Mater was waiting, already drawn his sword and in a salutatory pose.

“We cannot miss the seeds of apostasy.”

While glaring at him with wide eyes.

The already frightened sailors were huddled together in the cabin, shivering.

“Hehehehehe…”

Yeah. This is it.

I put my hand straight on the hilt of the knife and laughed.

One of the reasons I avoided the traps of the red-caped men was to ensure Karina’s safety.

but…

“I was almost disappointed because you only sent thugs.”

I’m competing against a master.

I’ve been looking forward to a duel with someone who knows how to do it!
