Chapter 141 – 32. Smell. (3)
The Holy Knights, disguised as mercenaries, arrived at Vermandois, the city of mercenaries, following the scent of the female knight Monua. Of course, this wasn’t the destination from the time I left the capital. Just following the smell and heading east, Vermandois came out.
Actually, this smell was a bit abstract. Even Monua himself, who smells the smell, did not know exactly this principle. … However, if you collect and infer from your experiences since childhood, something important on the continent, things, or people have a strong smell.
It’s like a prophet seeing a certain scene in his head, and at some point the smell comes out. In a broader sense, this may also be a kind of prophecy.
The smell was also of several kinds. Some smelled, some smelled bad. Of course, it is natural that the scent is usually positive and the stench negative. That’s not absolute, but generally it was.
And Holy Knight Monua used this ability only for the peace and well-being of the kingdom. Her role was vital, especially in her missions involving her sealed presence of evil. If it wasn’t for her strength, she wouldn’t have dared to go on this journey.
Of course, that was all she knew. You can find your way, but that’s all. She couldn’t even tell whether it was a person, an object, or a monster. That means she has to bump into her to know.
After arriving in Vermandois, the six Holy Knights headed for the inn. However, in every alley you see, lewd acts are openly unfolding, and they have received quite a bit of culture shock.
They even doubted whether this was truly the earthly world where they were stepping on the same ground as the holy kingdom. .
Oh my god
Monua, who has never even held her man’s hand in private, let alone a lover, is also losing her mind. She knew that the city of mercenaries was a formidable demon cave, but I never thought it would be like this.
However, the strong paladin could not make a weak tee with only this. Moreover, in a place where many of her juniors are present… !
Anyway, the Knights got rid of the poison accumulated from the long journey and started their activities in earnest the next day.
This time, Monua, along with her sub-captain Quintus, tracked her scent together. The rest decided to go around in pairs and collect information.
The female knight entered the back alley, following the sniffing smell from early in the morning. The place, where all kinds of filth were mixed, gave off a terrible stench, but the strong scent could not be concealed.
…… Almost there…… !
To be honest, her current expectations were high. The smell of her that she is smelling now is the strongest and most intense of all the smells of her that she has ever smelled. The expectation that there might be a clue that can solve this situation perfectly.
Of course, she is currently in a situation where she doesn’t know if it’s a person or a thing. So she’s going to check now.
Just in case, it didn’t seem like the two top 10 players residing in Vermandois. It’s been a long time since I’ve been away from their hideout.
Are you a person? …… No, it could be a thing. It’s something the 10 River secretly hid.
Anyway, in Vermandois, everything had to be related to the top 10. Even if they don’t know the person themselves, they are trustworthy people with respect to their stature.
If so, could it be something like a legendary sword? Something capable of knocking down the presence of evil in one blow. Originally, mercenaries were greedy people, so there was nothing strange about them hiding such things. …… If there really is such a thing, it must be retrieved at all costs.
The two men and women, who had been wandering in the back alley like a complicated maze for a long time with all kinds of thoughts close to delusions, came back to the main street. After walking a few steps, we arrived at the Guild House in Vermandois.
Even though it was still early, the front of the guild house was bustling. After exchanging glances, the two men and women enter the building immediately.
The two continued up the floor. The place to go up is the last floor.
Monua walked all the way in, following her strong scent, and stopped in front of a signboard.
– Allen Mercenaries.
After briefly exchanging glances, the two passed by the office to confirm the owner of the incense.
What came into view was a young man doing office work in front of a desk.
Ah.
Monua checked her partner and left quickly.
“Have you checked?”
“… Yes.”
The two did not rush to meet each other. The first thing is to gather information.
As much as work is work, it is necessary to have an appropriate relative method according to the situation.
Leaving the guild house, she remembered the man she had just passed by.
……… To be honest, I’ve never seen a mercenary so handsome.
· · ·
Allen, who had a normal day at the office today, returned to his hideout around the evening sunset.
Exhausted from working all day and dealing with people, he was just finishing eating and taking a bath whenheheard that a guest had arrived late.
“I’m from the Holy Land.”
“…… Seongguk? Are you a mercenary?”
“I don’t know.”
Something was tough, but Allen told me to bring him.
As I was sitting in the conference room and sipping beer, a person came. It’s both a man and a woman.
And, as is customary of course, Allen opened her opponent’s status window.
[Strength: 52] [Agility: 49] [Stamina: 54] [Intelligence: 20] [Magic power: 18]
[Brilliant] [Firm belief] [Principle] [Stubbornness] [Honesty] [Sensitiveness] [Insomnia]
[Strength: 47] [Agility: 44] [Stamina: 48] [Intelligence: 17] [Magic power: 20]
[Brightness] [Recklessness] [Curiosity] [Piety] [Willness] [Payout] [Super sensitive] [Sensitive] [Delirium]
As soon as he read a short thought under decent stats, he immediately penetrated the opponent’s identity.
Holy Knights—-.
There was only one reason why the butt-heavy Holy Knights moved. It must be that there is a problem with the seal of the devil in the basement of the Holy Kingdom. … As expected, the strong feeling was just right.
… Fuck this There is already a problem with the seal… ?
Considering that we had just entered Chapter 3, the progress was too fast. … Thinking about the reason, it seems that the opening of the door to the spirit world in the small city of Amper the other day had a big impact.
There won’t be any problems right now, but at this rate the seal will be broken within a few years.
Anyway that’s it
Allen wondered why the Holy Knights had come this far. Perhaps the viola Danju made another recommendation.
“The faithful of the holy kingdom, why did they come to this shabby place… ?”
The middle-aged exchanged glances with the female knight before answering.
He spoke calmly in a grave tone.
“What do you have to hide here?”
Then, he took out the token from his bosom and placed his chin on the table.
“Quintus of the Holy Knights. This is Monua.”
Allen pretended to be moderately surprised.
Quintus, the vice-captain of the Holy Knights, and Monua, his olfactory daughter. These two are pretty famous named characters in the Holy Land, so he already knew them.
“It must have been the Holy Knights!”
“Please keep it a secret.”
“Of course. Shouldn’t you keep your mouth shut because you’re afraid of God’s punishment?”
Quintus studied Allen’s face for a moment as if searching for her.
The information I found out throughout the day was honestly surprising. Incredible achievements that are unbelievable in just two years. He is a talented person who is aiming for not only the top 10, but even His Highness the Prince….
Ability is unquestioned. … It just takes being a mercenary.
“I have heard many rumors about you. The performance is great….”
“It’s very inflated.”
Having just finished there, the vice-captain slowly got to the point.
“By any chance, do you know the Prophet Alloa?”
“Of course you know. I’ve only met him once.”
“Through that young lady, I came here.”
… Aloha?
The expectation that it might have been recommended by the viola master was wrong. Aloah is something that Allen never expected.
To be honest, he didn’t have a very deep relationship with the Prophet. Didn’t he even kick her out the other day as if he had a headache as soon as they met?
…… Maybe it’s because of this…… ?
No matter which route I take, the devil event in the holy kingdom is fucking shit. It’s only natural that your head hurts when you get involved. … In fact, neglect was the easiest.
So, unless the purpose is to collect sacred power pussy, players tend to ignore this Holy Kingdom event. The reward is small compared to the hard work.
You’re even just starting Chapter 3.
“Actually, there is a problem with the Holy Kingdom.”
Seeing him talking openly, he looks like he’s snoring. Allen looked for an opportunity to decline.
“That’s-“
“We want you to lend us your strength.”
“Sorry, Seongguk and I have nothing to do with each other. And I am an atheist.”
Allen has made it clear that she is an atheist. However, her opponent is also an ordinary human being who is not obstinate.
“It may be difficult for you to understand, but our knights have certain abilities, and they point to you. That means you can be of some help to us.”
…… Even if you are a fellow believer, logic that is poor at persuading an atheist mercenary.
“I’m just an insignificant mercenary.”
“I will pay you well.”
Something a little harsh this time. It would have been more effective if it had been about compensation from the beginning. … However, Allen, who had already made up his mind to refuse, did not fall for his words.
First of all, this is a serial event. It didn’t just end with one. I’ve already said that the easiest way is to leave it alone.
How do you get paid for all that work? Also, the salty Seongguk won’t hurt you.
“It’s okay. I also have a lot of work these days, so it’s a bit difficult to do other things. It’s a pity.”
Of course, Quintus did not back down easily after being rejected once. Still, when Allen repeatedly refused, a female knight who was worse than he was eventually stepped forward.
“It is to protect the continent! I mean, it’s for justice… !”
“Monua!”
The vice-captain warned Monua, but did not greatly restrain him. That must have been what he wanted to say too.
Unfortunately, such remarks did not evoke any emotion in Allen.
“I’m sorry. It doesn’t seem like something I can do.”
Allen grinned and pointed at the door with his hand.
“Come on, would you like to go back?”
Seeing that, the female knight with a sense of justice gritted her teeth and finally said a word.
“…… You saw the wrong person.”
But Allen made no reply. He’s not the type to fall for such shallow provocations.
The two eventually left the room without any gain.
… It’s not like I’m going to be stabbed by my conscience.
It had nothing to do with him anyway.
…… It’s not like there’s a genius member who opened the door to mana!
