## Chapter 485 – Killing Demons

All I got was a bounty of 2 silver and a ticket.

It was an extremely paltry sum compared to what I killed, but there was no way to prove I’d slaughtered all those demons in the first place.

To prove it, I would have had to bring back that much demon blood.

Killing one demon produces liters of black blood. Even if some evaporates, it’s still quite a bit. All I brought this time was a fist-sized Demon Stone and enough blood to fill half a canteen.

If I had brought all the blood, I would have been paid properly… This is a shame.

Due to a lack of information, I didn’t receive the full reward. No one would have been carrying a water bottle from the start.

All the demon blood I missed out on was money.

“Shit.”

Looking around, it seemed other adventurers were in a similar situation.

And well, realistically, who would take down a demon alone?

They’d gather their heads, attack together, and then each take blood in their canteens.

Of course, each canteen wouldn’t count as one demon. It’s obvious that you’d have to collect it all to get the reward for one.

Rough calculations suggested that if you collected all the blood from one demon, it would be worth about 15 silver.

“Those bastards, they should have told us sooner.”

There must be some guys who went in without knowing, killed a demon, and didn’t collect all the blood properly, so they missed out on the reward.

It feels a bit like a scam, but if that’s the case, everyone benefits except the adventurers, so it doesn’t matter. The lord saves on rewards, and the church can kill more demons anyway.

In fact, there’s no obligation to tell them.

It’s the fault of the people who moved without finding out in advance.

More than anything, it seems you need to collect at least fifty tickets to get a decent weapon. Assuming you get about 7-8 tickets per demon, you really have to work hard.

It must be high-end equipment to that extent, so I understand that part.

The greaves I’m wearing are quite high-end. I’m still using them well.

“Hmm…”

I pondered for a moment.

What Hildegard said was uncertain, but it was tempting information.

If I reported the demon gate and went with the paladins to destroy it, I’d receive a really big reward.

But there’s no guarantee that what she said is true.

Could she just be trying to trick me into dying? Of course, even if there’s some kind of trap, there’s nothing to worry about if the Brass Sanctum Church’s paladins are there. I trust those destruction experts.

What worries me is that she might have just been lying to talk to me… Well, there’s always risk in opportunity. You can only gain something if you take risks.

The pastor of this church will definitely deploy troops based on my report.

That’s how much trust I have.

If the information is true, it’s an opportunity to get a big reward.

Should I just report it right away?

“…”

As the head of the household, I can’t decide something like this on my own.

I should tell my wives first.

I left the church immediately and headed home. On the way, I was careful in case Hildegard was following me again, but she didn’t appear. Still, just in case, I ran a little faster.

It’s still morning, so all four of them should be home.

I returned home.

“Did Blackie come?”
“You’re home early?”
“You are.”

Winia greeted me. Are Claudia, Karin, and Risha still sleeping? I did ask the three of them to do a lot last night.

“Did you get the reward from the church? How much did they give you?”
“Uh… this much.”

I immediately handed over two silver coins and the ticket, and she looked puzzled.

“Is that all?”
“Well, it seems they only give you the proper reward if you bring all the demon blood.”
“Huh? All of it? Ah, damn… I should have taken it all.”

Winia also grumbled that they should have told us that sooner.

Of course, this isn’t the important thing.

“Winia. I met that succubus again this morning, you know?”

I got straight to the point.

“What, Blackie?”
“I told you before, right? That I met her once more in the city.”
“…So?”

Winia’s eyes narrowed.

I had already told my wives that Hildegard was trying to make contact to steal my essence. Everyone showed interest, but except for Winia, they weren’t too worried. They trust my combat power and steadfast spirit.

Come to think of it, I received a talisman from Risha, but I haven’t used it. At first, I couldn’t use it because I was trying to kill her, and then I didn’t think to use it because I was listening to the information.

“Anyway, that bitch gave me some information that seems pretty useful.”
“A succubus gave you information? Isn’t she trying to trick you, Blackie? Blackie, the other sisters don’t seem too worried, but I’m pretty worried.”
“No, don’t worry. She can’t touch me.”

To reassure Winia, I added that I was trying my best to kill the succubus. But both of us are slightly lacking in skill to subdue each other.

There’s a bit of a compatibility difference.

“That’s not it. I’m worried that you’ll have your essence stolen. I mean, why is a succubus targeting you… What’s going on?”
“I told you, I’ll never have it stolen. Don’t worry, Winia. Don’t you trust me?”
“Where’s the ‘never’ in that? I do trust you, Blackie, but if you have your essence stolen, you’ll die.”
“I won’t die.”
“…I guess that’s true. You have plenty of essence, Blackie.”
“Hehehe, I won’t have it stolen in the first place. Anyway, the information is…”

I immediately soothed Winia and took out the map to explain the information Hildegard had told me. Winia listened to my story and nodded, checking the map.

“So… even if we can’t trust it, it would be quite helpful if it’s true?”
“Exactly.”
“Why is the succubus giving you that information?”
“Well, she says she wants to win me over… Well, my motto is to use it if I can.”
“That’s true. A lot of money if the information is correct… This is a bit of a dilemma.”

Winia also seemed to be wondering whether to use this information or not.

“Even if it’s a trap, there won’t be much of a problem if we go with the paladins. I want to check it out. I’m greedy for the reward money.”
“Still, it’s hard to trust a succubus.”
“That’s also true.”

While Winia and I were racking our brains, Claudia came down from the second floor.

“Katt… what are you talking about? A succubus?”
“Ah, Claudia. You’re awake?”
“Yeah…”

Claudia, wearing a sensual purple negligee that barely reached her navel, was so alluring. She naturally came and sat next to me, asking for an explanation about the succubus.

I told her the story again, and Claudia nodded.

“Then I want to go and see. Katt, is there any need to hesitate? If we go with the church’s paladins, there won’t be any problems. We should seize the opportunity if we have one.”
“No, sister. Still, it’s a succubus.”
“Is that what you’re worried about, Winia? Hehe… Still, this sister wants to see that succubus with her own two eyes.”

Hildegard will be instantly killed the moment she meets Claudia.

“…If that’s what sister wants. Well, there’s nothing to worry about if it’s sister.”

That’s how we concluded that we would use the information.

The next morning.

I packed a new map and visited the Brass Sanctum Church again.

I kept the map that Hildegard had marked directly at home. I can’t show a map with traces of demons to the church people. I bought a new map and marked the same things on it.

I came out alone with the intention of getting it over with quickly and sprinted, soon arriving at the church.

As always, there was a priest standing in front of the church.

It’s a priest I’m acquainted with.

“You’re working hard today as well. I have some business, is it possible to see the senior pastor?”
“Judging by how you ran here, it seems like something quite urgent. Of course, I should let you see him. Please follow me.”

I was naturally guided inside. As expected, connections are very important. Normally, it’s hard to see the senior pastor at will.

It’s because I’ve made contributions all this time that I can meet him like this.

“Hehehe, I’m sorry for bothering you so often.”
“You are no different from a VIP of the church. Feel free to think of it that way. Wanting to see the senior pastor means there’s something important to talk about, right?”
“That’s right.”

I was guided to the usual guest room and waited for a while. In the end, my wives and I decided to use Hildegard’s information. Of course, I also consulted with Karin and Risha.

ㅡCreak.

“Was the dagger I gave you last time helpful?”

While I was waiting, the door opened and the senior pastor, with a kind smile, came in.

“It was a great help. I cut down several demons with it. Thank you very much.”

I immediately stood up and greeted him.

“That’s truly a joyous thing. But seeing as you’ve dealt with demons… the reason you came today must be for that reason, right?”
“As expected of the pastor, your insight is extraordinary. That’s right. I came today to talk about that.”
“Indeed…”

With a serious expression, he nodded and sat down. I also sat down and took out the map from my pocket, spreading it on the table.

“This map is?”
“This is a map I used while searching for demons for the past few days. Here, can you see the path I marked?”
“Indeed. You’ve been putting in so much effort to eliminate demons. It’s truly touching.”
“Hehehe, isn’t it only natural? It’s something that must be done.”

I spun my words like that and explained to the senior pastor about the information I had heard from Hildegard, appropriately embellished.

It goes without saying that I didn’t say anything about receiving information from a demon. That’s a story that must be hidden.

I made it up that I had directly investigated and discovered something suspicious. This is what I discussed with Winia yesterday to coordinate our stories.

“I felt an extremely evil aura in this area marked on the map. The atmosphere was different from the start. In fact, I caught a demon there.”
“Such a thing… An evil aura… Hmm…”

The pastor listened intently to my words as if he were hearing the most important story. He was sweating while repeating my words, changing his expression every moment.

He’s probably imagining ominous things.

Still.

Even if it were someone else, if I were to tell this story directly, he would definitely help. This person is that kind of person. I’m so sure of it that I came to tell him.

“So I’m asking you to investigate. Of course, it could be dangerous, and it could be a wild goose chase. However, I have experience shattering evil beings several times. That’s why I’m confident. This matter requires investigation.”
“Investigation… you say?”
“That’s right.”

I stood up from my seat and spoke in a confident tone, persuading him.

“This is definitely something worth investigating. Perhaps a demon gate is located in this area. Since I discovered it myself, I will accompany you and guide you. Please help us!”
“A demon gate! Hooo! Please wait a moment, I will pray…!”

He took out a rosary from his pocket, gripped it tightly, and began to mutter something. Did it work? He seemed to have been quite shocked by the words “demon gate.”

“Pastor. I will guide you myself. Please help us. This is a problem that cannot be solved with my strength alone. The church’s help is absolutely necessary. Of course, it may be my delusion. In fact, there would be nothing better than that. But I’m the type of person who can’t just overlook something suspicious.”

I immediately grabbed his hands tightly and said.

“That’s why I’ve investigated and reported as soon as I witnessed such a situation. I am a person who can never tolerate groups that harm the public interest.”

Was my resolute will conveyed to the pastor? Our eyes met. He was looking at me with the most upright eyes.

“…Alright.”

Did it work?

ㅡAhem.

He cleared his throat and composed himself before answering.

“Your reverent and righteous heart has been fully conveyed to me. As much as you have trusted and dedicated yourself to us, it is only natural that we respond to your intentions this time.”
“…Does that mean?”

ㅡAhem.

He cleared his throat and composed himself before answering.

“We will organize paladins, priests, and nuns into a search party. May the blessing of Verde be with you!”
