Chapter 435
Chapter 435
After diligently guiding the kid with a few fairy tales as pocket money, the accommodation we arrived at was a building we had no memory of.
It is said that the large, four-story inn, built in the middle of the Imperial Capital, is a high-end facility that has recently been built, and it is hard to believe that such a luxurious building has been built in Ogwen, which was just a rural village on the outskirts.
“It’s a new feeling, but I think the human race changes really fast.”
This time, fully sympathizing with Asilier’s opinion, we went inside and were greeted by a neat hall worthy of the expression ‘luxurious’.
At first, I wondered if it was a place where nobles or merchants who had come for a vacation would stay, but surprisingly, most of them looked like adventurers.
“Welcome, sir. May I know what business you are visiting?”
Passing by the crowd of people sitting on chairs in the hall and sipping tea or coffee as if they were nobles, I approached the counter. A male waitress responded with a perfect business smile, saying something different from a typical inn.
“I came here because my acquaintances are here, but may I know if you are still staying?”
“Guests moving in and out are recorded on the list, so we can check them enough. Could you tell us the name of the guest staying at the hotel?”
“Uh… I don’t know your last name, but first of all, my name is Seneran. It’s supposed to be a long-term stay, but I haven’t heard about how long I’m staying, so I don’t know.”
‘Please wait a moment.’ The waitress, who opened a thick book and checked the words at the end, had a neatness that could only be seen in empires where the smell of modernity was particularly strong.
I don’t intend to discriminate against the country, but I can’t help it. I don’t know if it’s because there is a history of constantly summoning warriors from other worlds and working with them, but the empire’s infrastructure is really different. It doesn’t feel like over-technology alone, but if you compare the western kingdom area and the imperial capital right away, it’s almost like a 10th-century medieval and Renaissance class.
It might also play a role in the fact that the West is a mess because they fight each other every day, but among the human nations, it is probably right that they are the most advanced.
“Ah, here you are. Golden Mage Seneran-sama. You’re right there… and you’ve made a separate request to ask for guidance if someone looking for you visits. Is this Eldmia Ega?”
With a light nod, he summoned a bellhop-like clerk standing against the wall to be my guide.
“Isn’t there something very unique? I’ve never seen an inn like this before.”
“It feels oddly imperial.”
“I heard it… I think it’s like that?”
Perhaps professionally trained, the staff continued to guide us in a quiet and respectful manner, as if they were deaf. Unlike the 2nd and 3rd floors, which have been passed by, the 4th floor reveals that it is a kind of VIP room through luxurious doors placed at very wide intervals.
6 at best? Roughly calculating the size of the two or three rooms downstairs combined, the room I arrived at was marked 4-3, decorated with luxurious borders. The waitress greeted me lightly as if it had ended here and then walked away, and after making eye contact with Asilie, I shrugged and knocked on the door.
“Seneran. Are you inside?”
– Cudangtang!
Along with the violent noise, I heard the sound of something collapsing and scattering at the same time, and I even heard the sound of someone rolling on the floor. could wait until
“Why come now!”
As expected, the one who suddenly opened the door and appeared was the usual Seneran. She hurriedly led Asillie into the room, shut the door as noisily as it had opened, and trudged across the sea of papers.
“There’s a lot more to investigate than expected, so we hired some people and set up a camp. Weed is near the Demon Shrine, and we’re taking turns resting with the hired staff.”
Seneran’s accommodation was as spacious as I expected, and it was a mess that exceeded my expectations.
There were so many piles of papers and books scattered all over the place that I couldn’t tell what they were like because there were so many things to find out and find in that forgotten demon temple, and her eyes shining through the glasses were unstoppable.
“You took a break? Do you look in the mirror?”
“This is just because I stayed up all night, Eldmia. I didn’t expect it to come so suddenly.”
Blaming it on himself, Seneran, who had committed the atrocities of sweeping the table and knocking the books piled up on it, took out the magic stone teapot and teacup he had seen in Duke Lesrom’s office and started brewing coffee.
“Anyway! I told you in advance, don’t be surprised? I found something really amazing! It’s not Weedra’s incompetence, it’s because I’m competent!”
Then he beats his chest very triumphantly and invites him to sit down… I thought it might have something to do with the chatter of the water buffalo horns, so I decided to hit the ball first.
“Did you find any traces of the holy relic?”
“Even I couldn’t find Weed……”
And Seneran personally proved that my prediction was correct to a certain extent by making a face that had lost his country.
?
“Because I’m a wizard, it took some money to become convinced… but I’m sure it was a holy relic…”
Calms Seneran, who doesn’t deserve his age and uses swarms as if he were an ill-fated supporting actor whose few performances were edited. The story I heard after ordering it was enough to give credibility to the hypothesis that the buffalo horn said. Although her voice, unlike the first, was limp like a deflated balloon.
“Can that be solved with money?”
“Well, of course. When problems don’t work out, it’s usually just lack of money.”
Not only magic tools, but even divine powers can be recognized. As soon as you were about to be surprised at the greatness of the science of magic, Seneran revealed that he had solved the problem in a completely different way.
“At the Demon Temple, there are priests of demon gods who came across the borders that I hired.”
“…What did you say?”
While neither I nor Ashley were able to properly respond to the completely unexpected bombshell remarks, Seneran leisurely sipped his coffee and continued.
“Did I mention it before? I’ve lived in the Demonic Territory for a while, so I have a lot of ties. Most of the items used there were only possible because of their help. It’s just that magic tools have changed to people.”
“No, isn’t that a problem? You helped the people of the demon tribe cross the border in this city?”
I couldn’t have done this alone. In the first place, I move alternately with Master, but I don’t know how. Her words were no different from helping the demons smuggled out under the agreement of the two.
“Why? You don’t have any ill feelings towards the demons either.”
“Is that a problem? If you get caught in the kingdom, everyone goes to the gallows?”
Everyone with horns is an enemy to the kingdom. Not to mention the people who helped him set foot on kingdom soil. I couldn’t understand at all what the heck’s research was doing with such a crazy forced march, but Seneran just shrugged his shoulders with a really insignificant attitude.
“If you don’t get caught, stop.”
oh shit I forgot what to say.
I washed my face dry without even realizing it, and Seneran showed a little notice and added an explanation.
“Of course, even Weed agreed to it. Of course, I didn’t agree that it would be okay if I didn’t get caught, but I agreed with the judgment that it would be beneficial for the kingdom if we could reveal something related to the Demon God.”
Of course, until now, we didn’t even know why the devil’s army destroyed our village, so if we know the cause, we can guess what they’re plotting.
But it’s hard to say that it’s worth finding out while participating in the appalling crime of wartime smuggling.
Not only do you have to find out with the traces you left years ago, but by doing so, even if you succeed at best, there is only a small chance of saving something, and if you fail, you will be slandered.
At least, it was a comfort, if anything, that he would stay like this now that he had saved something.
“As a result, they found something.”
“That’s right. The holy relics they took… they seemed to be so great that I couldn’t understand why they were here.”
When I got to the main topic, I stood up and listened to Seneran, who gave a serious answer without any playfulness.
“The clergy say… There is a possibility that it was a relic with holy power so strong that it could be called a fragment of a demon. At least, they said they had never seen such an item in their entire life.”
“…what effect does it have?”
“Well? Wouldn’t it be quicker to ask what kind of effect it doesn’t have? About that, a priest who belonged to the Imperial Spiritual Assembly before and was excommunicated added it…
” ?”
I know it’s a lot of money, but aren’t you really playing too risky? I involuntarily threw my head back in amazement, but Seneran only wrinkled his nose and waved his hand.
“Ah, that’s not important right now. That person roughly guessed what was possible as long as the priests of the Demonic Church spoke of it.”
There was no need to wait this time. As long as the Imperial Holy Spirit Society and the relics of powerful divine power came out, there was only one most famous miracle that could be achieved with divinity.
“Are you a warrior?”
Seneran answered my question with a calm nod.
“That’s right. If you have it… you might be able to forcibly seize the hero.”
