I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 46



Only Noblemtl

#46 I respect the saints (2)

What a strange guy.

Even though it was clearly our first time meeting, we felt very friendly.

He also seemed like a reckless younger brother.

That’s why I’m always dealing with this guy.

“You want me to follow the church?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Allure’s expression was stiff, as if it was something quite important.

I heard that he came under orders from Klein, whom I met last time…

“Hmm…”

The horoscope said that wherever you went, it was hellfire.

You might wonder what the church and fire have to do with each other, but in the end, both guests end up there.

That’s not all, but it was a bit difficult to follow.

A subtle intuition seemed to tell me that it wasn’t yet time.

“Should I just wait for now?”

“…What are you talking about?”

“I told you there were more guests left.”

Even a tiger will come if you call it.

I felt mana swirling around the corner of the yard.

“You’re here.”

Flash –

“It’s already dazzling…”

They appeared with a flash of light.

They were all wearing flowing robes.

Among them was someone holding a cane.

“….?”

I thought a noble would come, but why a wizard?

“He is a noble… indeed.”

They all appeared through warp magic and were wizards.

A group of just under twenty people.

There were some middle-aged women in the crowd, and most of them were middle-aged men or grandfathers.

“It’s been a while.”

Clocelle waved his hand.

“Curiosity is…”

I can see why he was curious.

Because the magicians’ sparkling eyes were all turned towards me.

Woorur –

“Are you the one who possesses that thing called the spirit eye?”

“You use powers other than magic?”

“Can you explain specifically what a spirit is?”

“….”

They came rushing in in an instant and started barraging me with questions.

Now, it feels like not only my eyes but also my ears are getting itchy.

As I opened my mouth in surprise at the sudden situation, Old Man Clocell smiled proudly.

“What did I say? The world of magic has been turned upside down, just like I said.”

“…yes?”

Even if you look ahead, you are a wizard.

Even if you look to the side, there’s a wizard.

There was a wizard behind the visible spirit.

“…Over there..over there..”

“Is it possible that you are using something called the spiritual eye while your eyes are closed right now?”

“I really can’t feel the mana.”

“What on earth is that wooden statue planted over there? It doesn’t look good.”

“Huh… there’s a gentle flow of mana from that wooden statue.”

There was no one who was a chatterbox.

In a short period of time, countless questions poured out at me.

“First of all, can you see that spirit?”

There was so much talk that it took my mind off things.

Wouldn’t it be quieter if you showed it to me?

I think they can’t sense the spirit, so if there’s no way to find out, they’ll give up.

“Just a moment! I’ll show you, so please be quiet for now…”

“….”

“….”

The wizards suddenly became quiet as if they had never been talking before.

As expected, this method was right.

“This is called spiritual energy…”

Swish –

Spiritual energy spreading out to the surroundings.

When I looked at the wizards, they all looked bewildered.

Of course.

Because you won’t feel anything.

“You don’t feel anything?”

“….”

“…”

He seemed to be concentrating intently, but he only made a subtle expression.

“…This can’t be happening.”

“I really don’t feel anything…”

“A power we don’t know about…!”

Contrary to my expectations, the wizards were rather more excited.

It was an expression of unbearable excitement at discovering an unknown world they didn’t know about.

The wizards who had been talking among themselves came towards me again.

“I’ve saved up all my money to study my fortune.”

“…yes?”

It seems that this man wasn’t the only magician who brought money.

Because they all took out their pockets and handed them to me.

“You only accept Cooper and Silver?”

One of the wizards turned his pockets inside out and poured the money out onto the table.

Chorrrrrrrr –

“….?”

Chorus –

Silver and copper flowed ceaselessly from his pockets.

Chorus –

Before we knew it, the table was full of money, and it was rolling down to the floor.

“You have a lot of money, so please keep checking the points. I think it would be good to just do it a hundred times as a sample first.”

Chorrrrrr –

“….yes?”

“Wasn’t it a maximum of 5 silver at a time?”

Chorus –

“I would appreciate it if you could help us with our research.”

Even as we spoke, money continued to pour in.

How much is all that···?

I swear I’ve never seen this much money.

The silver was piling up like a treasure trove from a fairy tale.

“Does it happen once every 5 silvers?”

“…That’s true…but I can’t see it over and over again…”

Wouldn’t it take at least a few years to see all of this?

As the money stopped coming out of his pocket, another wizard opened his pocket.

“Wait a minute! Okay, I understand, so stop…!”

“I’ll give you as much money as you ask for.”

The yard became noisy again.

They continued to spout off words as if they had no intention of listening to my answer.

Even the sounds of speech were mixed, making it difficult to understand what was being said.

It was similar to this when I first met Clocelle.

Are all wizards like this?

“Hmm, everyone be quiet.”

“Yes, Clocell.”

“….”

“….”

The wizards were silenced by a word of inspiration.

Inspired by Clocell, who had stepped forward to mediate the situation, he blocked my path and pushed the wizards back.

“Isn’t Chris in trouble?”

My husband, who has been taking my side since we spent time together.

At this moment, I felt quite secure.

“No matter how curious I am as a wizard… Everyone, please keep your dignity in check.”

“Ahem…”

Only then did the wizards clear their throats in embarrassment and straighten their posture.

Clocell nodded as he read the calming atmosphere.

“By the way, Chris is my friend who will become my grandson-in-law.”

hmm···?

Why did things go so well and then the story goes off to that point?

“That means you could say that I have a somewhat exclusive relationship with you.”

“…Sir?”

Swish –

Clocell’s inspiration hand came up to my shoulder.

“Isn’t that so? Grandson-in-law?”

Groan, groan.

The yard seemed about to get noisy.

As expected, the reaction came out immediately.

“Even if you are Clocell, how can you monopolize that young man?”

“It’s unfair.”

“Considering the affection we have had so far, I hope you can understand to some extent…”

At that moment, the door opened with a loud noise that startled everyone.

Boom –

“….”

“….”

“…Elf?”

Serena came out with a very wary expression.

Serena was glaring at Master Clocell with scary eyes.

“….You were there too.”

Groan, groan.

The wizards began to murmur at Serena’s sudden appearance.

“There are elves in a place like this…”

“Isn’t that the elf that Lord Clocell was talking about…?”

“The one who was rescued from the necromancer…?”

“Then a high elf?”

Stop –

It’s really unsettling when the sound suddenly stops.

“no way…”

Woorur –

This time the wizards rushed towards Serena.

Meeting a high elf was a rare opportunity for them too.

Serena would still be wary of people···.

Noisy noisy –

I’m not a market expert and I don’t know what’s going on.

A bunch of ghosts and noisy people.

A sigh came from deep in my chest.

“Haa… I wish all the guests and the fools would just disappear…”

***

“It’s a bit late, but the situation is not good.”

“Hmm…”

I thought these people were there for research purposes because they kept asking questions.

But when I listened to the inspiration, that wasn’t it either.

Traces of a necromancer were discovered in the northernmost part of the empire.

They call it an investigation team for that.

“But is it okay for us to stay like this? Aren’t we going to leave right away?”

“It takes time to redraw the warp magic circle, you know.”

“Anyway, I have to go with you, right?”

“There may be things we can’t discover like last time.”

“Hmm…”

Clocell and Allure await my answer.

“Just wait a minute.”

I tried the horoscope again, but the result was the same.

Whichever way you go, you will eventually end up there.

However, the inspiration felt much more urgent.

“Chris, if it’s a problem related to the necromancer, you don’t have to go to the church.”

“hmm?”

It was an unexpected remark.

I thought you’d throw a tantrum and say you had to go first.

“The reason we invited Chris is to dispatch knights to help the empire.”

“however?”

When I heard Allure’s answer, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because it was so absurd.

“If that’s the reason… I should just follow you, Chris.”

“….?”

“Because if I go, the Knights Templar will be dispatched to protect me.”

“her…”

“Probably, Lord Klein sent me with this in mind.”

I thought that inspiration was honest, but it seems he has this side to him too.

You’re trying to trick people into doing things the way you want.

Perhaps, if Clocell had not come, I would have joined them after going to the church.

“Then, we can leave right away.”

Clocelle began to explain simply.

“First of all, there’s no one there.”

“…Is it a wasteland?”

Since it’s said to be a necromancer’s trace, it could be a place where there are no people.

Since I will probably be working in a place with few people…

“To be exact, all the people disappeared.”

“yes?”

“Thousands of people in the Baron’s Territory disappeared at once.”

“…?”

What does this mean?

“It was discovered two days ago. The Knights were already headed there.”

It was a completely different movement from the necromancer’s actions I had heard of before.

Isn’t that too obvious?

Once you go there, you’ll know.

“Thousands of people disappeared… I have a bad feeling…”

I had a hunch, but I hope it wasn’t the case.

Because nothing could be more terrible than that.

“….”

The warp circle was completed and everyone went up there.

Serena follows me too.

“Are you okay?”

Nod.

Soon, mana enveloped us and light flashed.

In an instant, the scenery changed and a desolate village came into view.

There was really nothing.

People, and souls too.

Inspiration Clocell called me in a slightly embarrassed voice.

“….Hey, Chris.”

“yes?”

“Is that what you brought?”

After hearing Clocell’s words, I turned my head and saw something that shouldn’t be there.

“Why did it follow me here?”

There were jangseung (totem poles) stuck into the floor.
