The Soldier Shouted Save - Chapter 26

The soldier shouted save (26)
After signing a formal contract with Hye-rin, I immediately looked for Iris.
A fountain located a short distance from the church.
“How are you, Croa?”
When I arrived first and asked Iris, who was sitting next to the fountain, about the situation, she answered with a smile.
“Yes, I am adapting well. I memorize the Bible well, train diligently, and eat well without leaving any food behind. However… .”
What are you trying to say?
Eris stopped talking, looked around, and then said with a small sigh.
“I can’t handle the force.”
“… Are you talking about Croa’s divine power?”
“… Yes. I thought it would be okay if I induced magic exhaustion once a week, but it got stronger in a few days.”
A divine power that does not dry up even if you constantly bless Lian.
Eris, who had been telling a more detailed story, speaks with a pensive expression.
“Honestly… it’s a bit of a precarious situation.”
Iris’s words made me lower my head.
After all, it was only a matter of time before she was found out to be a saint.
“Can’t you just stop being an apprentice priest?”
“… It is not possible until you finish your mandatory education. It will take at least six months. However, you can change the place of education.”
Eris took something out of her bosom and unfolded it, as if she had prepared a plan of her own.
A map of ‘areas in need of evangelism’ that we’ve seen before.
Eris points to several areas with her hand and says:
“I intend to send letters to the lords who might wish to support the Freya faith. If they are to accept the doctrine, they will need to build new churches.”
What I did was not in vain.
“… If things go well, I might be able to take my younger sister and run the new church.”
The story of exorcising the evil spirit Grimgal and exposing the heresy of the palace warriors.
Thanks to my achievements, Iris was able to rise to a position where she could take charge of a small church.
“I’ll try, but don’t expect much. If you don’t have connections with the lords… honestly, it’ll be hard.”
Unlike Iris, who spoke as if she was sorry, I saw a bright hope.
If you have a connection with the lord.
If there is a new church to be built, I can put Iris in there and turn things around.
“I will send a letter.”
Infinite time that makes anything possible.
How to use Save?
After a long discussion with Iris, I turned around and headed towards the inn.
* * *
The inn has returned.
“Two servings of what I ate yesterday, please leave it at the door.”
After finishing ordering my meal and entering my hotel room, I noticed that the room was messy.
Parchment spread out so wide that there is no room to step.
Hye-rin, who was in the middle of the place, looked at me happily and said.
“I’ve come up with a plan of my own. Come here quickly.”
A confident face with the corners of the lips raised cutely.
As I stood next to the table, tiptoeing so as not to step on the parchment, Hye-rin began to explain with an excited expression on her face.
“Just by looking at the name, Lee Hyeon-seong is a Korean man, right?”
Is ‘Lee Hyeon-seong’ mainly used as a male name?
“…however?”
As I nod my head in response, Hye-rin looks me up and down and says.
“You also have a bit of a Korean male feel, right? So, we invested a little bit of money and had clothes custom-made that had a similar feel to ours.”
“Are you telling me to wear clothes from another world?”
“Yes! That’s it! If you wear modern clothes and become Korean, and move as if you were in the Imperial Transport Carriage Raid quest… .”
“You’re saying it’ll be decorated like Lee Hyun-seong did?”
“That’s it! How is it? It’s okay, right? You’re smarter than you think, right?”
Turn your gaze over the table.
I can see that he organized the information in his own way and even underlined it to make it easier for me to understand.
but….
“You said it was an attack on the imperial carriage, but do you know what route the carriage took and at what time?”
“… We’ll have to find out about that from now on.”
“What about the imperial troops escorting the transport carriage? Do you think the two of us can win? What about the supplies after the attack? If we leave them as they are, there won’t be any damage to the imperial family.”
“… Well, I guess we’ll have to find out about that too.”
“Besides, wearing otherworldly clothes and disguising yourself as Hyeonseong means showing our appearance, and I think that’s asking for danger. Here, the map also shows the same thing.”
I went over each spot Hye-rin had marked with a line and pointed out problems that she couldn’t see on her own.
After about 5 minutes of such passionate speech.
Hye-rin pushed the parchment away from her eyes with her mouth sticking out.
“… Now that I hear it, it doesn’t really sound that similar.”
Going to bed without saying a word and covering yourself with the blanket.
“… … .”
He just sticks his face out and glares at me, wondering what the hell he’s doing, then covers himself with the blanket again.
“Lee Hye-rin.”
“…why.”
“Clean up the mess and take a rest.”
“Eww! This is so annoying!”
Hye-rin, who jumped out of bed and started to stir, growled at me and cleaned up the mess of parchment.
It was like looking at Croa’s childhood, when he would get upset at my words without even trying.
-dripping.
He speaks as he places the food on the table in front of the door, at the sound of a knock echoing through the room.
“There’s no need to overthink it. At first, we’ll just follow the path that Lee Hyun-seong has laid out.”
Hye-rin secretly pushes the parchment she was organizing to the corner at the sound of dishes clanking.
“What does it mean to follow Lee Hyun-seong’s path?”
“It’s literally true. If the palace operates in the place where Lee Hyun-seong is predicted to be, they will be mistaken. For example, here.”
As Hye-rin sits down at the table, she extends her finger over the map.
‘Walker’, a land famous for trade with druids.
Hyelin glanced at the map and squinted her eyes as if trying to find a loophole in the plan, just like I did.
“If this is the place the palace predicted, then all the palace people will be guarding it, so why are you going here?”
“Read the ‘Guild Mission’ related to Lee Hyun-seong carefully. The ‘Walker’ region is a low priority, so the Imperial Family has not dispatched anyone yet.”
“… How can you be sure of that? It’s not like you can check the information in real time. You could have started the mission today.”
Information that cannot be confirmed in real time.
He says that with a snicker and a laugh.
“This is the latest information I checked this morning.”
“… … Yes? No, you weren’t fooled? No matter how fast you bought the information… … .”
I don’t know about Hye-rin, but this is the latest information obtained by piercing the chin with a dagger.
“It’s certain, so you don’t have to doubt it.”
As I was hammering the nail in, Hye-rin pointed out something else with a grumpy face.
“Yes, yes, since that’s what the smart Gerard said, it’s all correct. So what should I do?”
“A quick meal. And clean up the parchment you pushed away with your feet.”
“Eww! Can’t you take your time and then clean up? Why is organizing the parchment so urgent…?”
At those words, he put the duck stir-fry in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
“I’m leaving right now.”
“… … Where?”
“I told you earlier. I’m leaving for Walker.”
First, let’s get up from our seats and pack our bags. Hye-rin starts organizing the parchment with a pouting face.
I tried to hold back my laughter at the sight and took out what I had prepared.
“Pack this in your backpack.”
“Oh, what is it now!”
“These are new clothes.”
What I gave to Hye-rin was a palace apprentice magician uniform with a harmony of white and blue.
“Wow… what is this? It looks like a school uniform… it’s pretty.”
Do you like it that much?
I held back my laughter as I watched Hye-rin busy holding the clothes in front of her body.
“This is the uniform of an apprentice palace wizard that I bought from a merchant. You must act as an apprentice palace wizard in Walker, so change into it before you leave.”
“… … You’re not from the palace, so how can you wear something like this?”
“Of course it won’t work, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. As I said, the Gerards bow their heads when they’re not sure.”
Among the palace magicians, only a very small number are commoners. The majority are nobles.
There probably aren’t many people who would speak to a palace magician like that without hesitation.
“… But what if you keep asking me about the palace?”
“I’ll write down a general outline of the palace and the lifestyle of an apprentice magician separately. If you feel anxious, memorize it whenever you have time.”
For a moment, I frown at the thought of having to memorize something.
“pretty….”
Hyelin, fascinated by the apprentice wizard’s uniform, smiled brightly.
“Once you’re done unpacking, come out in front of the inn. I’ll go and find the carriage.”
“Okay, have a nice day.”
I left the inn, leaving Hye-rin behind, who wanted to change her clothes as soon as possible.
* * *
Even though it was quite a distance, it didn’t take long to get to Walker.
This is because I chose a carriage drawn by Dehorse, a tamed horse-shaped monster.
‘… Should I have chosen a regular carriage?’
I regretted it even though it arrived several times faster than an ordinary carriage.
“Ow, woof! Woofweeeeek!”
Hye-rin, who suffered from severe motion sickness from the shaking carriage, vomited as soon as she arrived at the walker.
Still, judging by the strange way he was trying to avoid getting vomit on his clothes, it seemed like he really liked the palace wizard uniform.
“Are you available to work today?”
I carried three bags, including Hye-rin’s, and glanced at the schedule I had planned in advance before patting Hye-rin on the back.
“… … Yes? What did you say?”
“I’m asking if there will be any problems with the upcoming interview.”
In order to get close to Lee Hyeonseong, who was being investigated by the palace, the first step was to become a private soldier of the Walker family.
The countless mercenaries and wandering knights roaming the streets of the territory are also competitors who come to recruit you as a private soldier.
Hyelin spoke with a weak voice and a haggard face.
“… Then, please find a place where there are no people. I will recover.
What are you trying to do?
He carries three backpacks on his back and supports Hye-rin as he heads toward the gap between the buildings.
Then Hye-rin said with a weak face, spreading out her palms.
“…Repicio.”
An initiation word that ends in an incredibly short word.
As the magic that restores energy envelops her body, Hye-rin’s complexion returns.
“Okay. … It’s a shame to waste mana stacks, but it’s not like I can’t pass.”
“What is a mana stack?”
“… What should I call this? It’s something you need when using magic. You can get it by meditating or drinking mana potions, right?”
“Are you talking about mana and mental power?”
“Yes, that’s right, but I’ve tied that up and quantified it. The recovery spell I just used costs 5 mana stacks. The teleport I showed you before costs 12 mana stacks.”
Come to think of it, I think I’ve seen palace magicians who were influenced by warriors try hard to divide mana into units called stacks.
But more importantly, Hye-rin used magic without a spell.
“Can you tell me now?”
“What kind of thing?”
“What privilege do you have?”
The mission to ‘kill Lee Hye-rin’ was also given a high priority, similar to the ‘kidnapping of the saint’.
Although it was written as unconfirmed, it must have meant that they were predicting a certain Jeongdon Lee Hye-rin’s special ability.
“Using magic without a spell. Is that your special ability?”
“… Ah, um. Well, you don’t have to reveal it, and since you know that much, you can just hide it, so I’ll just tell you.”
-widely!
Blue particles sway on Hye-rin’s hand every time she snaps her fingers.
“A quick slot where you can place skills. That’s my special.”
“What is skill?”
Hye-rin, who was mumbling in thought at my words, pointed to the sword on my waist.
“Well, show me something like swordsmanship. Something short… like two seconds?”
A narrow alley with buildings on both sides.
I stretched out my right leg and stabbed the air.
-Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
A stabbing sword technique used in the Imperial Palace that sequentially targets the chin, stomach, and heart.
After finishing the movement and putting the sword away in a controlled manner, Hye-rin nodded with a satisfied expression.
“What you just did, the ‘three-stage stab’, is called a skill. … … If we were to show you in person, it would look like this.”
Hye-rin, who was waving her finger toward the air, picks up a branch that was rolling around.
Standing there blankly, as if he knew nothing about swordsmanship.
“… … Here, if you select a skill in the quick slot with your finger, it will look like this.”
When Hye-rin stretched her finger into the air, a strange phenomenon occurred.
-widely!
Hyelin, who had been standing still, took a stance at an incredibly fast speed.
-Swish, swish, swish!
He stabs forward three times, imitating me.
“Well, it’s something like this.”
The ability to perfectly reproduce a technique without any preparatory movements.
“What do you think? Do you feel like you should do better?”
I took my eyes off Hye-rin, who was smiling arrogantly, and looked at the message that appeared before my eyes.
[Found a ‘special offer’ set in the notification.]
[Would you like to accept the quest ‘Kill Lee Hye-rin’, the holder of the ‘Quick Slot’?]
With Hye-rin’s ‘Quick Slot’, even if her body was in disarray, she could quickly complete her stance and perform perfect swordsmanship.
An incredible perk that will double, if not triple, your combat prowess.
“… …Why is that?”
[Chance to win a ‘Quick Slot’.]
[The quest ‘Murder Lee Hye-rin’ has been accepted.]
Hye-rin’s body was glowing red, as if urging murder.
