I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 43



Only Noblemtl

#43 Why is it like this? (2)

Statue of a saint.

It was a statue commemorating the sacrifice of a saint who gave her body to end the continental war.

Located in a religious order established in the empire, this place was also a holy place visited by many people.

Below it, priests passed in a line.

“To receive a trust by yourself… Hehe… Really…”

“Mr. Klein, who knows more about trusts than anyone else…”

It’s been a hot topic of gossip among high-ranking priests these days.

“It is an oracle that is not granted even if requested by His Holiness the Pope.”

“How difficult are the preparation processes?”

They talked for a long time about how great a trust is.

Among them were stories of their experiences trying to obtain trust.

And not far from them, Klein was walking alone.

Klein couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight of them proudly boasting about the hardships they had endured.

“That’s not even funny.”

Since when has the hardships of priests been so praiseworthy?

A priest is someone who does not shy away from difficult tasks and sacrifices his body.

Klein couldn’t hide his bitterness at the behavior of those so-called high priests.

‘How did such people end up in the classroom…’

From Klein’s perspective, it was a truly deplorable thing.

The topic of conversation among the priests changed again.

It was a sarcastic remark about Klein telling a ridiculous story.

“Heh heh…”

How can someone be so loud in broad daylight when people are walking around?

What’s more, it was embarrassing that the content was about me.

Klein looked away as he saw the apprentice priests greeting him with the same embarrassed expression as himself.

Because I felt like I could tell what they were thinking without having to listen.

“Was Hans’ words true…”

I received a ridiculous message from Hans.

The content was that the teacher was telling people to be careful because their words would be on everyone’s lips.

I wouldn’t have yelled at him if he hadn’t said that this was a trust Chris had received.

Of course, Klein didn’t believe that.

This is because trusts are not something that is passed down with such light content.

“…..”

But, like a lie, those words became reality.

It all started when I returned to class and started talking about Chris.

I often heard sarcastic remarks, and even when they weren’t sarcastic, it was hard to hear anything good.

Klein understood that too.

Even if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, my reaction would have been the same.

Swish –

Klein, who had moved to a quiet place, took out the crystal ball from his bosom.

Because there were things I had to check before going into the meeting.

Not long after, a voice came out of the crystal ball.

– Yes, Master.

Klein’s eyebrows twitched when he heard Hans’ voice.

“I heard you were in the palace. You fell out with Chris.”

– That’s…

Hans’s poor excuses continued.

– When I came to, I was in the palace.

“….”

– Lord Paramon said he needed a witness and asked me to…

Klein’s stiff expression loosened.

If his close friend did it, there must be a reason.

Hans couldn’t stop Paramon from doing what he did, so he couldn’t scold him either.

“Please help me with whatever you need.”

– Yes, Master.

“The soul that becomes a race is progressing…”

Klein, who had been speaking, turned his head and closed his mouth.

At the same time, the voice coming from the crystal ball suddenly stopped.

“I didn’t know you had a hobby of eavesdropping.”

“It seems that Mr. Klein has many worries.”

“her…”

Klein’s expression as he looked at the priest standing opposite him was not good.

Berthe.

A noble from a fallen kingdom.

One who abandoned his noble family name to live a life for God.

But he is more interested in profit than any other priest.

“You’re still doing useless things.”

“Someone has to do it. I can’t afford to take the trouble.”

Berthe answered with a gentle expression.

It was an attitude that was clearly an example of a humble priest to anyone who saw it.

But Klein knew better than anyone what kind of person Berthe was.

“Don’t talk nonsense. If you give half of your wealth away, your hardships will be halved.”

Berthe laughed it off and said sarcastically.

“I’m telling you just in case, Mr. Klein, your opinion will not be accepted.”

Klein had only one opinion.

The necromancer’s power must be eradicated before it can become fully active.

The idea was to send knights and priests to help the empire.

Even though it was an urgent matter, it was not carried out due to their opposition.

“You guys, who barely started walking during the Continental War, what do you know and how can you talk so carelessly?”

Klein passed Berthe and hummed softly.

“Always remember that I am watching you.”

His friends are retired and living comfortably, so why should he suffer alone?

At that moment, a voice flashed through Klein’s head.

– Problems arise when the wall, which should be still, keeps moving…

It was Chris’ words that he said were an oracle.

If I live like that, will I be able to spend the rest of my life in peace?

Will there be good clergy in the church?

Klein bowed to the statue of the saint and turned around.

“5 silver… It’s so different from that bastard Berthe’s greed.”

According to Hans, Chris was clearly at the center of the incident.

Chris was also said to be the only one who could lift their curse.

“If we just bring that guy… we might be able to make it easier…”

***

“My tooth is really broken.”

“…It’s okay if you don’t show it.”

It was an old man I remember.

It was the old man who stopped me when I was busy and asked me to read his fortune last time.

“That’s why I told you to be careful with what you eat.”

It was quite embarrassing to see him open his mouth wide at me and show me his broken molars.

You don’t have to show it, though.

“Is there any way to make this grow again?”

“…That shouldn’t come to me.”

I’m a fortune teller, not a teeth fixer.

And once a person’s teeth fall out, it’s over.

“If you look at the dots, wouldn’t there be a way for your teeth to grow?”

“There’s no such thing! Next!”

There are people like this wherever you go.

Do you think fortune telling is omnipotent?

I stopped the man from putting 5 coppers in the money box.

“Why are you putting in a bonus when you haven’t even seen the fortune? Just go.”

After showing me all the molars, you give me the lottery ticket…

If you look at the dots, you will get a lottery ticket.

The next person to sit down was a woman.

Just by looking at it, I think I know why you came.

“Ma’am, do you live alone?”

“…How about that?”

“It looks like that.”

He is a man who has terribly no luck with men.

If you don’t meet the right person, you’re destined to live alone for the rest of your life.

There didn’t even seem to be any sign of a fateful encounter.

“Hmm…”

While I was wondering if I should write her a talisman, I heard something unexpected from the woman.

“Actually, I’m seeing someone these days…”

“…Huh? That can’t be possible?”

“….I feel a little bad.”

It’s not that I can’t meet a man, but how can I meet one?

I didn’t feel any connection with the people around me.

“Oh, that’s it.”

A man who clung to something that wasn’t his destiny.

There was something that caught my eye.

“Ma’am, do you have a lot of money?”

“How about that…?”

There were also curious looks from people around me.

This wasn’t figured out in the same way as dots.

How can you not know when the clothes you are wearing are so flashy?

“That guy is just after the money.”

“…my money?”

“Yeah. If you keep seeing that guy, you’re going to lose a lot.”

If you say something like this, there will be people who will criticize you.

It’s understandable to be angry when your lover comes after your fortune.

It’s not strange to say that you could turn the mat over right now.

But it is difficult for a dot to explain the context.

It remains to be seen how and by what means he will seek to acquire the property.

“….”

The mother’s silence continued.

He seemed to be thinking deeply.

There was a sense of anticipation that a fight might break out around them.

But that won’t happen.

This lady has very thin ears.

“Now that I hear it, that’s true.”

At those words, exclamations burst out.

“Ugh…!”

“So this is what being brave is all about.”

“It’s melting.”

Anyway, this is the end for this lady.

There doesn’t seem to be any more fortune telling.

“next!”

“Wait a minute!… Am I going to have to live alone for the rest of my life?”

“Hmm…”

Looking at the old woman’s face, she looked quite desperate.

Changing one’s fate is not an easy task.

“There is a way, but…”

“Tell me anything.”

There is a panacea that works well for those with bad fortune.

This method is also the best when fortune telling doesn’t work.

“Live your life helping people. If you do good deeds, you will be blessed.”

If you accumulate virtue, you will receive blessings.

It’s a given.

This applies to almost everyone.

As I watched the lady nod and leave, I swore at the person sitting next to me.

“This guy is a total thief.”

“…yes?”

It was like that from the very beginning.

Sinister and quiet.

The same was true of the faintly passing scenes.

The act of following someone silently and following them.

And the way he takes something quietly.

He looked exactly like a thief.

“Someone report this guy to Lord Randolph…”

Before I could finish speaking, the thief came up to me and whispered secretly.

Very urgently.

“I…I am the Count’s direct informant…!”

“…?”

“You don’t have to report him since he’s not a criminal…”

It was a job similar to that of a thief.
