Paladin of the Dead God - Chapter 74



Only Noblemtl

Episode 74 Adult designation (5)

The commotion that occurred early in the morning continued until morning.

Delia, who had summoned the nobles and knights, nervously paced the restaurant.

“What about the knights? Have all the nobles gathered?”

“Even those who haven’t woken up yet… … .”

Delia screamed, her face contorted.

“Tell them to come together right away, even if it means breaking down the door!”

The nobles were agitated by Delia’s sensitive reaction.

She suppressed her feelings because she felt like she was going to lose her mind at the nobles’ reaction.

The first time she saw darkness, hallucinations, and auditory hallucinations, she fell into confusion. She was put out of her confusion thanks to the guards who noticed her disturbance and came running, but the mess in her room explained everything.

Although there has been relative stability now, there were nobles who did not.

In a corner of the restaurant, there was a nobleman trembling, his teeth chattering, covered in a blanket. She was such a strong-willed noblewoman that she rode on her horse with her dusty body on her side. Next to him was a nobleman who was exhausted after vomiting several times, and a knight who scratched his teeth-marked skin until it bled and only stopped after wrapping it in a bandage.

Delia was in very good condition.

“Is it also a curse?”

A nobleman came to Delia’s side and spoke cautiously.

‘curse… … .’

It was a word that was already ingrained in his head without him having to say it.

Isaac, the Holy Grail Knight, has already warned about the curse. However, he stayed because the Priests of the Code of Light were staying and Le Hart had also said that there was no problem, so he stayed with peace of mind.

“I’m not the only one who has experienced this, so there’s a high probability that it will happen… … .”

There are various types of curses that angels leave behind. Delia, who had no knowledge of theology, couldn’t be sure, but there was no other way to explain it.

“What is this fuss about?”

Bishop Juan and one of the Holy Knights entered the restaurant.

“There was such a commotion during the morning service… … .”

He tried to say something, but fell silent when Delia glared at him with bloodshot eyes. Delia walked up to her paladin with long strides and asked with a pointed gesture.

“Nothing happened there? How many priests have there been, but they can’t even deal with a curse like this? There is even a bishop? “Did the Heretic Questioner follow along?”

“What nonsense… … .”

The Paladin blushed and tried to get angry, but his opponent was the Marquis. No matter how high a paladin’s status was, he could not treat the vassal who served the emperor so closely.

“There are more than one person who suffered from a curse all night long!”

Only then did the Holy Knight discover the people in the corner of the restaurant. People struggling with the aftereffects of the curse. The paladin hesitated and then quickly took a step back.

“I will report it to the bishop and come back.”

***

After a while, all the priests and nobles of the church gathered together.

A total of 7 people suffered from the curse overnight. They were all from the central aristocratic side. The priests gave miracles of healing and stability to those suffering from the aftereffects of the curse, including Delia, but the confusion did not easily subside.

One of the priests approached Delia and said:

“I’m sorry, but I don’t feel the curse.”

At those words, Delia’s face distorted and she glared at him.

“So you’re saying I’m lying? “Even I got caught?”

The priest, taken aback by her harsh tone, seemed intimidated, but continued speaking cautiously.

“The nightmare itself may be a curse. The symptoms of confusion you see now are simply due to mental shock. “If it is because of a curse, the symptoms should all be the same. Don’t you all have different symptoms, including the Marquis de Lyon?”

Delia kept her mouth shut because he was right. The teeth marks she had tried to show as proof of the curse were already gone.

“We don’t all accidentally have nightmares at the same time, so we think it’s some kind of curse. “We haven’t found any traces yet, but there’s no way the angel quietly retreated after being expelled.”

“Hmm… … .”

Delia felt her mind becoming confused.

Although he was surprised and embarrassed by the curse, if this was indeed the curse left behind by the angel upon his expulsion, Isaac had achieved a truly great achievement. If so, her goal of stopping Isaac from becoming an adult would become even more difficult.

Then Isaac came to her side.

Isaac apologized to Delia with a somber expression.

“I touched the angel with my limited skills, and an unholy energy came over the Marquis. “I apologize.”

Delia was startled and stopped his apology.

“no. Holy Grail Knight. How could this be Isaac’s fault? “Because I lacked faith and had a weak heart, something evil seeped into me.”

Delia’s words were suddenly filled with respect. One way or another, it seemed clear that Isaac had accomplished the feat of exorcising the angel. Although she was an embarrassment in her own right, it was clear that she deserved respect for her genitals.

“But it’s difficult. If the curse continues to remain in this land like this, the people of the territory will also become anxious. “It could become a cursed territory and be abandoned.”

Delia sensed something in Isaac’s words. A vague thought crossed her mind, but it was a difficult idea for her to come up with right away. Because she wasn’t the only one here.

smart.

Then someone knocked on the table. As attention was focused, Bishop Juan and the young priest opened their mouths.

“During the night, an unholy darkness descended on this castle. Believers. Bishop Juan said that from now on he would consecrate the castle to prevent curses from seeping in. “It is a temporary measure since it has to be done every day, but you will not experience any inconvenience during your stay.”

It was a grateful measure from the nobles’ point of view. However, the nobles believed that although the priests and paladins knew about the curse, they were the only ones who suffered from the curse because they had given protection miracles only to them.

They say that the proof is that only nobles suffered from the curse.

“And, the results of the investigation are out. Through the investigation of the Inquisitors, the testimony of eyewitnesses, and the investigation of the priests, it was concluded that Isaac the Grail Knight must have exterminated the Red Flesh Prophet here. “This is truly an achievement worthy of the attention of the Code of Light.”

Nobles, priests, and paladins all looked at Isaac with respect. This was because it was clear that Isaac had accomplished an incredible feat regardless of faction.

However, Isaac did not even smile and had a gloomy expression.

“So, Bishop Juan plans to report the results of this investigation to the central government and request that he be designated a saint.”

Delia bit her lip. If the results of this investigation were conveyed to the Pope, it seemed inevitable that Isaac would be designated a saint.

“Of course, we need to check whether Isaac is an adult… … .”

thud. At that time, a roar that shook the castle rang out.

“What are you talking about? “Go out and check.”

Before Delia could speak, the knights and paladins rushed outside first.

As they opened the door, a large rock bounced in front of them. The moment a rock rolled into the restaurant with a loud noise, the word that crossed the nobles’ minds was ‘siege.’

As they all drew their swords and were about to leave, they heard the shouts of the knights ahead of them.

“It’s a troll!”

***

[We will move the trolls.]

Isaac sent a small message of positivity to Hesabel’s will. The trolls climbed up the castle wall and hurled large stones at the entrance to the restaurant where nobles and priests gathered.

‘As expected, you listen well.’

Looking at that, Isaac was able to confirm that Hesabel still had the abilities she received from the Red Grail.

The trolls were like watchdogs raised by the Red Grail Club, and even Hesabel was said to be able to handle them.

And that ability was still maintained even when it was clear that Hesabel had defected from the Red Grail Club.

bang! The Paladin, who was almost hit by a stone, let out a loud noise and ran towards the castle wall.

“You bastards!”

The troll threw a rock at the paladin running up the stairs. However, the moment it came into contact with the stone, the aura emitted by the paladin became even stronger. The stone bounced to the side with a dull sound. But that wasn’t the only stone targeting him.

Tong, twang!

The paladin stumbled as stones were thrown in succession, lost his balance, and fell down the stairs.

Isaac jumped up, passing right by him. The boulder that was aimed at the Holy Knight fell in front of Isaac. No, actually, it was closer to Isaac jumping into a boulder.

Crackle, bang!

Isaac grazed a rock through the shoulder of his armor. Although there was no auror covering the armor like a paladin, the tentacles surrounding the inside lessened the impact.

‘As expected, the defense of the armor itself increases within the occupied sanctuary.’

Isaac reached the top of the castle wall in an instant and swung his sword without delay. Crackle! However, the sword made an unpleasant sound and roughly scraped the troll’s skin. The troll screamed and fell back as his blood spurted.

The Sword of Judgment, whose miracles had been worn away by the decisive battle with the Prophet of Red Flesh, no longer had the ability to burn evil things. A wound of this magnitude would only leave a scar similar to a scratch on a troll.

[I will make you retreat.]

“Oooh! Ahhh!”

The trolls screamed and climbed down the castle wall just as they had come up. The paladin, who belatedly came up the stairs again, looked down at the trolls who were running away in despair. He could have jumped down and followed, but fighting against multiple trolls while isolated in the mountains was reckless, even for a saint.

The walls and interior of the castle where the trolls had breached were in disarray. The priests and nobles looked around with bewildered expressions.

“What is happening?”

Hearing what a nobleman said, Isaac lost his temper and opened his mouth.

“Trolls are the dogs of the Red Grail. “I think I was probably drawn by a curse.”

The priests’ expressions also worsened at Isaac’s words.

“If it’s enough to attract monsters, it’s a pretty strong curse… … .”

“Besides, if you’re a troll, the curse’s area of ​​influence could be quite wide.”

Because the miraculous power of the Code of Light and the trolls’ regenerative abilities were at odds, most trolls could only be found deep in the mountains. Of course, the Hendlock estate itself was located in the mountains, but it was still not easy to see.

Of course, this was the priests’ mistake.

There were already quite a few trolls in the area that the Red Flesh Prophet had gathered to act as bodyguards. In reality, they were unable to help the red-fleshed prophet, and some of them had become Hesabel’s dogs.

“I think it will be difficult to designate him as an adult in this state.”

Delia said to Bishop Juan with a grumpy expression. Bishop Juan’s expression visibly hardened.

Defeating angels is, of course, a great feat. However, if a strong curse remained in the place where the extermination was carried out, the lives of the people of the territory were impoverished and the land was devastated, it could not be said that a complete achievement was achieved.

Instead, he could only be laughed at.

“but… … .”

“If what I have done leaves a curse on this land and makes the lives of its residents difficult, I have no intention of enjoying any glory.”

The young priest tried to say something, but Isaac cut him off and declared: Although these were noble words from a Holy Grail Knight, they ultimately meant that he did not want to be designated a saint.

Because every word of what was said was not wrong, the priests ultimately had nothing to say.

At that time, Bishop Juan opened his mouth.

“Then let’s defeat the curse.”

Isaac and Delia, hearing Bishop Juan’s voice for the first time, looked at him with some surprise. Bishop Juan was moving his wrinkled face and speaking straight and properly.

“I will remain here and find a way to defeat the curse. so… … .”

He raised his wrinkled hand and pointed at Isaac.

“You must exterminate the unwelcome visitors to this land. So that there is no way for believers to suffer.”
