Chapter 150 – 34. Underground of the Holy Kingdom. (One)
Having achieved their goal in the East, the Allen-Mercenary Corps and Holy Knights left the large city of Kartli early in the morning. … Now, the arduous two-month journey to the Holy Land has begun.
Allen saw an opportunity to have a serious talk about Elena and the Mana Gate in it. The reason she was involved in this complex event in her holy kingdom is actually because of her.
… Still, before Elizabeth opens the door to mana, right?
In the original scenario, the graceful mage opened the mana door towards the end of chapter 4. … Considering that, Master Patong’s [Enlightenment] Is truly a tremendous fruit. Because of this, her value has jumped up by at least one notch.
Allen said she was honestly still awestruck as to how this could happen. I can only think of it as the result of a combination of luck and hard work.
Anyway, she’s all so so so While in the carriage heading to the Holy Land, Allen pondered for several days on how to start a conversation with Elena.
He happened to see a cross painted on her wrist. Obviously never before…. And there was no way Allen, who had been dead for 20,000 hours, would not recognize the red cross on her wrist. It is a group pattern that is so important that it can be counted among the [Guild Masters].
A meeting of those who opened the door.
The fact that it was drawn meant that she had finally met the archmages.
Of course, she had opened the door a long time ago, but he had no way of knowing why she had finally met them. No matter how much she can read the status window, she can’t know what’s going on in her image world.
Anyway, now that she’s seen the red cross, she’s got a chance to start talking.
Thus, Allen made time for a brief conversation with Elena during a break before going to bed after supper at the camp.
… And, when you bring it up insinuatingly….
“… Yes?!”
When the normally placid woman showed her questioning look with round eyes, Allen responded with her charming smile.
“That pattern on your wrist. I’ve seen it before with Granzo Danju. …… Between the two of you, is there something I don’t know about?”
Allen said she had met Grenzo at the capital’s 10-strong meeting. He brought up her eyewitness account of seeing the same pattern as hers there. It is said that the same spot and the same pattern are too similar to simply dismiss it as a coincidence….
“No, uh….”
And Danju gently embraced the bewildered monk and whispered sweetly.
“Don’t worry. Because I understand everything. Between us, there’s something to hide. … Is not it?”
At the word between us, Elena was taken aback.
In fact, she also intended to confide this to him when the opportunity arose. In a way, all of this is a collaboration between the two.
“Ugh… , Let’s talk… , It’s a bit long.”
“It’s okay. Not too busy right now. Take your time.”
So, melting away in Allen Danju’s fart, the suckling wizard starts to blow on what he’s been through so far.
He, too, listened to her interesting story without losing track of time.
Longing for a higher level.
Discovery of source magic.
Practice and deep meditation.
Source door.
And, even the meeting of those who opened the door.
Allen also knew this detailed process for the first time.
I don’t know why there is such a place beyond the Mana Gate… , Anyway an amazing story.
“I see…. It would be hard to believe if it wasn’t for what you said. Really. …… Then what time is the meeting?”
“Yesterday was the second.”
“That’s great.”
“…… No. It’s still a long way off.”
“Opening the door itself is incredibly great. That means there are only four such people on the entire continent. You have done something even Elizabeth’s assistant couldn’t do yet. You can be proud enough.”
Ah.
Elena could not hide the joy on her face and her exultation. Allen held her in his arms and gave her a gentle pat on the back as if to repay her for all her hard work.
“I knew you could make it. That’s great, Elena.”
“Danlord… !”
She has proven her worth very well. The perception that it is a card that is used and then changed ends here.
…… At least, I won’t have to worry about wizards until the second half.
Unlike the red-haired monk who felt her affectionate love, Allen’s head was still running tight at this moment.

It was obviously a long journey from Kartli, the large city in the east, to the holy kingdom in the middle.
The mercenaries and knights stopped by Vermandois briefly in the middle. However, it was literally only a short stop, they took a break for just two days and then set off for the Holy Land again. But fortunately, there is really not much left until the holy kingdom.
The group continued to move for another 15 days and finally arrived at the castle.
Vice-captain Quintus invited the mercenaries who had suffered so far to the castle.
The interior of the Holy Kingdom is like a huge monastery. People greeted each other with silent prayers, and did not even use carriages. It was considered disrespectful to dare to ride in a chariot in a sacred place where the Holy Spirit is worshipped.
“If I lived here, I would definitely search in less than a week.”
The furry Geese clicked his tongue at this suffocating atmosphere. No talking, no drinking, no sex… , Everyone wondered if people could live here.
Walking along the boulevard, they entered a large cathedral. There, young and old, who seemed to be monks, came and went lightly, without the sound of her footsteps, holding her hands together.
… Honestly, it’s hard to believe that the devil is sealed underground in a place like this that seems to be disrespectful even if you take a deep breath.
The building was very large and ornate. It was as if all the money that was gathered in the holy kingdom was put into this place. …… Well, moderation and maturity are forced on the lower ones, and it is in human society that the upper heads who decide them are often lacking in moderation and maturity. Even if it was a holy kingdom, it wouldn’t be an exception.
Of course, Allen didn’t care at all whether the top heads of the Holy Kingdom were good at restraint or not. All he wants anyway is money. He was willing to smile and shake his hand as long as they paid him the promised amount. He is a businessman, not a believer.
The vice-captain first guided the mercenaries to their lodgings. Everyone was exhausted from the hard march to start work right now.
“I will rest for a while. Especially this time, I have to do my best…….”
“Okay. Rest as long as you like. In the Holy Land, I will treat you without any shortage.”
“Let me be grateful.”
The Holy Knights left, and Allen gathered all the unpacked members in the dorm room.
Now it’s time to reveal what to do here.
Allen Danju opened his mouth by crossing his arms and taking a quick glance at the scruffy-looking members of the crew.
“I’m sure everyone was wondering what they were going to do in the meantime.”
Then her mouth was struck by a itchy gash.
“I was curious and almost looked around.”
Danju stayed still until the brief laughter stopped, and as soon as the laughter stopped, he lightly tapped the floor with his feet a couple of times.
“Under the Holy Land, there is a sealed demon. Oh, he’s an evil bastard.”
Evil devil. At that sound, the new Cory’s face instantly went pale.
Pergamond, the newly recruited muscle man, asked, “Damn it,” Clicking his tongue. Just listening to it, it was a very fucking mission….
“Are you going to catch him?”
Then Allen laughed heartily.
“Unfortunately…… , Nope.”
“Hui-yuu.”
She all let out a sigh of relief.
“Cybal, you were fucking scared.”
“Well, how do we catch the devil by ourselves?”
…… Of course, the time to catch the devil will surely come later, but not yet.
“Our mission is to restore the loosened seal axis. … Our Mage Elena will do that for you.”
“Ohh-.”
At the slightly joking remark, there was applause like a joke. Then, Elena’s ears turned a little red.
“For the rest, you just have to fight the monsters that pop out during the restoration. That’s it. Isn’t it simple?”
Of course, the words are simple, but it was obvious that the process would not be simple.
“Would it be okay with us alone?”
“The Holy Knights will also join us. Of course everything. There will be about fifteen people. So don’t worry too much. … Next?”
“Do only demons come out? … The devil doesn’t come out, right? Only that sealed evil is doing something.”
“Don’t worry. It’s because the sealed axis isn’t all gone. Even if this is wrong, there will be problems later, not now. …… Of course, the Seongguk should take care of that, right?”
After all, mercenaries work only for money. The rest I don’t know anyway.
“Then what can I prepare for in the meantime?”
“Check your equipment once in a while. Seongguk will give you all the holy water anyway. …… Oh, of course you have to be prepared.”
Allen’s expression instantly turned bloody.
“It is a demon coming from hell. They’re not usually good puppies. So eat your heart out. … Got it?”
“All right!”
A loud answer that everyone shouts in unison.
Seeing the crew’s determination, Allen relaxed her expression and smiled satisfactorily.
“Great…. Then the meeting is over. Rest.”
