Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 58



Only Noblemtl

After a brief moment of confusion, Lilia gathered her wits and charged into the battlefield, shouting loudly.

“Everyone! Stop!”

It was a lion’s roar, no less than that of a female earth fairy who screamed loudly.

The woman frowned at the eardrum-piercing sound, stopped hammering, and took a step back.

The men who had been slightly defensive looked at Lilia while catching their breath instead of trying to counterattack.

In the gap, Lilia strode forward with brisk steps. The positions of the female earth elves, the male elves, and Lilia formed the three corners of a triangle.

“What are you?”

The woman growled in a sharp voice. Lilia ignored her and continued to scold her.

“You shouldn’t fight in the street where people are walking around! If you want to fight, go to an empty lot over there and fight!”

I’m not telling you not to fight. The woman who had a look of bewilderment for a moment belatedly discovered Lilia’s clothes.

“Are you a church person?”

“that’s right!”

“What the hell are you thinking? Is this what you call mediation?”

“···yes?”

“I’m asking why we neglect and do not manage such people!”

“That’s exactly what I wanted to say.”

The man who had been hit by the woman’s hammer from the front, who was probably escorted by two people on the left and right, grumbled.

“What are you planning on doing, causing a ruckus in a blacksmith shop in the middle of the city? Attacking innocent people passing by.”

“You guys were the ones who started the fight!”

“Can’t you even evaluate a product as a customer? I just realized for the first time that it’s okay to swing a hammer at someone who says they can’t make it. That’s why you savage dwarves are called that.”

“What is this and that!”

The woman flared up. Lilia quickly grabbed her arm, trying to swing her hammer again.

“I told you not to fight here!”

“Aren’t you going to let this go?”

The expression on the face of the earth fairy, who was trying to shake off Lilia’s hand in annoyance, changed slightly.

The power of Lillia, who had been granted the miracle of a strong body, was not something that any ordinary warrior could envy. It was not something that could be shaken off even if one tried to shake it off roughly.

“You, a young human, seem to be a high priest?”

The woman’s expression became fierce.

“Are you really going to take my side that much? Even though we’re all human?”

“Huh? Um, I think there’s a bit of a misunderstanding······.”

“Okay. What’s the misunderstanding?”

Kwuk!

Lilia’s arms began to tremble as she forcibly began to rise upward.

“Huh, huh?”

The earth fairy woman lifted her arm, which had been held captive, with all her might.

Despite being much smaller than Lilia, she had incredible strength.

“Let go before I throw you away like this.”

“Let go, Lilia.”

Galen, who had been watching from a distance, blurted it out.

“I told you not to fight with the earth fairy in strength.”

“I didn’t know it would be this bad······.”

Lilia answered a little gloomily, then obediently let go of his hand and stepped back.

Before leaving Belpass, I had a brief briefing from Roald.

The magic of the earth fairy, ‘the power of the earth’, is not a way of kneading something like dirt, but rather a feeling of receiving some kind of energy from the earth.

It is said that although it is small in stature, it is as solid and heavy as a lump of iron. It is also said that its fighting style is similar to that of a warrior.

The advantage of a priest is that he is versatile, not specialized.

Although he could perform the role of a warrior through the miracle of a rigid body, he was inferior to a pure warrior of the same level.

Moreover, you should not engage in a direct fight with an earth elf who is superior in strength to a pure warrior.

‘Even so, if the miracle of the strong body used by the bishop is pushed to that extent… should I consider that land fairy to be at the golden level?’

If the guess is true, then it stands to reason that the man who was attacked by the earth fairy should also be golden.

What kind of city is this where gold rolls around like a rock? There are four of them here.

“What are you?”

An irritated woman’s voice broke Galen’s thoughts. Shaking his head slightly, Galen replied.

“We’re a group. We were just passing by and saw a commotion, so we went to see what was going on. Please don’t misunderstand. And is that a man over there?”

Ignoring what the earth elf woman was trying to say, Galen turned back to the man.

“If you don’t plan on making a big deal out of this, please leave.”

“What? Who are you?”

The man made a displeased expression. Galen responded blandly.

“No matter what I am, if two people are fighting, shouldn’t one side be separated for the fight to end?”

“So you’re telling me to get out?”

“You are a guest. This is the owner. Should the owner leave the store? The guest should leave.”

It was the truth, so the man had nothing to say.

Although he had a very displeased expression on his face, he didn’t say anything and just twitched the corners of his mouth, perhaps because Lilia was next to him.

The man turned around nervously and walked down the alley. Two guards quickly followed him.

“Tsk.”

Galen clicked his tongue briefly. It wasn’t very pleasant, but it was peaceful at least.

“under······.”

The earth fairy woman who had been standing there awkwardly let out a deep sigh.

“I should have finished it before I got interrupted.”

“What do you mean by ending? Even our skills are similar.”

“I adjusted my strength! What does that little kid know?”

The woman grumbled, her words completely unconvincing on face value. Galen responded indifferently.

“Oh, yes. Let’s say that’s true. Why on earth did you start the fight?”

“I told you! He insulted my work!”

A grumbling woman entered the blacksmith shop and returned carrying several swords instead of a hammer.

“This is, huh? Is it weird? Huh?”

“I don’t know much about swords.”

“Wow! Did you make all of this, Sister?”

Galen was indifferent, but Lilia was excited as she pulled out various swords. She flicked the blade with her fingers and said,

“It’s really good. The sound is good, and the center of gravity is perfect. It’s the best sword I’ve ever used!”

“Right? Right?”

For the first time, the earth fairy woman’s expression brightened. She spoke proudly.

“I made this to kill some time, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t work hard on it! But you’re nitpicking about the finish and the balance. It’s so ridiculous.”

“Oh, that’s too much! How can someone who uses a sword not know how good these are? Anyone can tell that it’s intentional!”

“If you knew, you should have taken my side earlier! Don’t stop me!”

“I, I didn’t know at the time······.”

Lilia’s voice faltered as she heard the beating. The grumbling woman suddenly tilted her head to the side.

“Wait? But why don’t you know?”

“yes?”

“Why doesn’t a high priest who uses miracles to make your body strong know this? You’re a church member?”

“He is a church person, but he does not belong to the Messias parish······.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m from another city. I just arrived today.”

Galen added his explanation. The woman opened her mouth slightly.

“Ah… That’s what it was? Sorry. I thought you were pretending not to know even though you knew.”

“What’s going on?”

“I’m not on good terms with the guy who just picked a fight with me?”

“It looks that way to anyone.”

“I’m staying in this city for a while. I have nothing to do during that time, so I temporarily rented a blacksmith shop. Of course, I talked to the church. But that guy came to me and started a fight, and it’s not him, but me who’s stopping him, so it seems like I’m the one who did something wrong.”

“We had no idea! We just stopped the stronger one because you looked stronger than our sister!”

“Well, you’re a friend who’s more perceptive than that human, aren’t you?”

I never thought I’d hear someone say I have less tact than Lilia.

The elf woman, smiling happily, entered the forge and came out carrying a few more swords, regardless of whether Galen’s expression became subtle or not.

“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. Take all of this!”

“Yes? All of this?”

“To be honest, they’re not all that great, but they’re still good enough to use!”

“One is enough for me!”

“Aren’t you greedy? Okay, do whatever you want. Or maybe pick one or two more as spares.”

“yes!”

“You can choose one too. Anyway, I chased that guy away.”

“I will accept your offer. I don’t know anything about swordsmanship.”

“Actually, it seemed like that might be the case.”

Lilia, who had been holding and swinging various swords, chose the two swords she wanted.

“I’ll do this!”

“Okay. Next time we meet, I’ll make you a really good sword!”

“yes!”

“Of course I will take the money.”

I was a little confused as to whether it was a favor or not.

Considering the creaky first button, it ended pretty well.

After parting ways with the earth fairy woman, they returned to the church.

“I need to get rid of the existing swords immediately!”

It seemed like he was talking about two of the three swords he had acquired from the Dawn Archipelago that still remained.

I don’t carry it around with me on a regular basis, but I keep it in my bag in case I need a real weapon.

“Is the difference that big?”

“Well, maybe a pack horse and a war horse?”

“It’s bad.”

“I think I now understand why warriors seek out good weapons. They say there are many excellent blacksmiths among the earth elves, and it seems that is true!”

“I’ll try to get more next time I get a chance. I have a lot of money.”

The Archbishop had returned in the meantime. When I requested an audience, permission was granted fairly quickly.

“Come in quickly.”

A man with a stylishly trimmed gray beard welcomed them.

The Archbishop, who introduced himself as Damus, had a simple and easygoing demeanor that belied his status.

After personally giving me a ride in the car and asking me if the trip was difficult or how was Belpass or Abaca, I lightened the mood by asking them small talk.

“First of all… I would like to speak with Duke Galen first. Is that okay, Bishop Lilia?”

“Of course it’s okay!”

“Thank you.”

Damus smiled gently and opened his mouth.

“Duke Galen.”

“Yes, Your Eminence the Archbishop.”

“Even if only half of what the report says is true, it’s still an incredible feat. Oh, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe it. I just mean I’m genuinely surprised.”

“Thank you for your high regard.”

“I’m not saying this to show off on purpose. I really like your sense of purpose… that kind of thing.”

“yes?”

“Whether they are wandering mercenaries or from a family, their actions are somewhat predictable. If you trace them back, they are all related to gains and losses. Whether it be simple money, fame, or expansion of power.”

Damus took a sip of his half-empty tea and continued speaking.

“But you… are unpredictable. But the results of your unpredictable actions always fall in line with the teachings of the Church.”

“Is that so?”

“You take the lead in killing evil spirits, and instead of fearing the devil, you are the first to step forward to subdue him, and you are not tempted by the cavalry but immediately destroy them. As a result, haven’t you benefited the multitudes?”

I’m grateful that you evaluated me like that because I kept shooting around just to level up.

Galen said with a bitter smile on his face.

“To be honest, I didn’t do it with any grand purpose. It was purely out of personal interest, and the results have come about by chance so far.”

“If you just did what you wanted and the result was good, shouldn’t you be praised more?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Hahaha, I didn’t mean to burden you. But at least it means that you are not the type of person who would easily fall for simple material temptations. That’s what I judged, and that’s why I thought you were the right person for this request.”

“What exactly is that request? I only heard that it was some kind of territorial friction.”

“Similar. Please understand that I cannot reveal all the confidential information before you take on the task. To put it simply······.”

Galen listened carefully to the following story.

After asking a few questions and receiving answers, he slowly nodded his head after thinking about it.

“Okay, I’ll try.”

“Thank you. Then, if it’s okay with you, I’ll call you right away.”

“yes?”

“I’m talking about the people involved in this request. Since we’ll be seeing them for a while anyway, there’s no need to delay, right?”

“Well, I guess so.”

Galen nodded. Damus smiled and called his subordinates over to give instructions.

“Well, then, shall we talk a little more until they arrive? Bishop Lilia must have been bored listening the whole time.”

“Oh, no!”

Lilia quickly denied it. Damus chuckled as if he knew everything.

Soon, the headmaster’s words of wisdom poured out to Lilia. Fortunately, Galen was able to take a step back and let it slide.

While Lilia endures the difficult times, even her always bright smile trembles slightly.

“Your Eminence, the guests have arrived.”

“Well, tell them to come in.”

It seemed that the officials had finally arrived. The door to the office opened.

Lilia let out a slightly ragged breath. Galen glanced back, holding back a laugh.

His eyes widened as if he had no other thoughts.

The same was true for guests who had just entered the office.

“no?”

“Yes, why are you here?”

The earth fairy woman and the man who harassed her.

A man and an elf were looking at Galen with different expressions.
