Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Pine and Wildflowers

“Hey, yep. It was something I really liked.”

The look on Geher’s face, the hermit looking at the poorly broken sickle, showed disappointment.

You might say that all scythes are the same scythe and what makes them different, but there are people who make things right and people who don’t. There are many masters in the world, and some of them are very good at making sickles.

This sickle was, in fact, bought at a higher price than a normal sickle. Of course, that’s the sickle price. How expensive would it be if a sickle made of iron and wood, not made of gold, was expensive in Geher’s eyes.

When I become a Master, I can’t even if I want to run out of money. So I thought I was going to use a rip-off while buying this scythe, but I didn’t have any expectations.

If the blade is too heavy, it will cause instability in swinging it, and if the blade is dull, it will not be able to properly cut weeds, let alone people.

It was good that I didn’t have to worry about that while using this sickle, but that cheeky kid completely ruined the sickle. The sword wielded by Rocca made it so.

‘By the way, it’s powerful enough to break through my nebula and break a sickle.’

Strictly speaking, it was neither Roka’s power nor Chamwoldo’s power.

Although Moonnyeo, Theresia’s moonnyeo projection method is unfamiliar, Geher is also worthy of being called the grand master of this era. Even if Wolnyeo raises the Chamwoldo and spreads the Wolnyeodo method, there is no guarantee that she will overwhelm him.

“I don’t know what that sword taught him.”

However, in the end, the final blow used by Loka, who burst into anger when all of her attacks didn’t work. That blow was really terrifying.

Unlike the case of the Heron, the dark sunset line did not penetrate through the sickle and faded away, but instead the sickle was broken and made into scraps. Now it can’t even be sold as scrap metal.

‘Cut the sunset.’

Really, I’ve learned something absurd. Even if Roka used it, it was a destructive technique that made Geher’s chatter a bit chilly.

500 years ago, if this skill burned with Master Heron’s sword, it would be more than enough to annihilate him in one blow, although I don’t know its power.

‘It’s a skill that really transcends the realm, no, it overwhelms it. This is not always beneficial, why did the sword choose this way?’

Of course, it was not the technology that Loca could control now. Whether it’s a skill or a weapon, after all, it’s for people, so it’s not a good thing to wield it.

“I hope you don’t become a villain, kid. I’m relieved that he doesn’t seem like a child with evil nature…”

When a mighty force is lifted in the hands of a child, the result is twofold. good or bad.

Usually the latter is the case. Geher was concerned about that. Great power must be operated in accordance with the great spirit. You have to have a mind mature enough to handle that power.

‘It’s too early to predict now. Will that child become a hero, a demon king, or a hermit like me?’

The little hermit hides in the forest, and the big hermit hides in the people. So Geher the hermit was a hermit even though she was living in the Imperial Palace. Few people in the world know his true identity.

However, this hermit was once a mercenary king who was active throughout the world. I saw a lot of people and learned a lot. Rocca was somehow unstable in his eyes.

Now, there is something that can take over the instability, so it seems quiet,

If the support is gone, you will not know where it will jump out.

*****

When Loka returned, she seemed to be in a very good mood. The child was carrying a sword he had never seen on his back, and the cool moonlight seemed to be one of the treasures.

It is not a great weapon that can be compared to Urinell’s Holy Sword. Still, wouldn’t that be similar to the bullet-blood spear used by Duke Shmira?

Considering that there were not many Demon Lords with weapons of that level among Demon Lords, the Empire is definitely an Empire.

Even though it’s an imperial remark, the weapons that roll around in the warehouse are watered down to that extent. Although staggering, it is the prestige of the richest and most powerful country on the continent. The reason why the demons have not been able to launch an offensive against mankind in the past is, of course, probably also because they have gathered together and checked each other.

But, in my opinion, they just weren’t capable enough. Asmodians are not necessarily like that, but on an individual basis, they are generally stronger than us humans.

However, looking at the whole race, both number and quality are overwhelmingly pushed. Even though the Demon Realm seems very wide, the land they occupy is the outskirts of the continent after all. Most of it is wasteland, and there are many uncultivated areas.

The reason they desperately want to promote the continent is probably because they do not want to live in such a land any longer. To them, the land of mankind, including the empire, will seem undeniably attractive, and even the wind that blows will feel the fragrance of abundance.

“This is Chamwoldo. master of master. It’s the arrival used by the moon maiden Theresia.”

Rocca, with a smile on her face when she saw me, ran to me, pulled out a bare sword from her back, showed me the sword, and smiled. He smiled broadly like a dog with a bone in his mouth, but later found Ms. Rowena and stopped laughing.

“But who is that?”

Is it an illusion? There seemed to be a shadow behind Rocca. Ms. Rowena made eye contact with Roka, and smiled mischievously.

Suddenly, the wind blew in my ear. have ever heard Elves are adept at infusing the elements of nature with magical powers and turning them into spirits.

– You are raising a very dangerous child.

The wind spirit spoke Rowena’s voice to my ears. And the real Rowena-san’s words were heard one after another.

“Don’t worry, little girl. I have no intention of dating a human. I have seen so many people who loved humans and regretted being left alone because of their lifespan.”

When Roka stared at Rowena-san with a frown on her face without saying a word, he waved his hand and made excuses. Anyway, Ms. Rowena smiled inexplicably and looked at me again.

“Okay, Priest. The priest made a promise first, so you must keep it. Don’t forget the promise that you will definitely visit Elvenheim. I will do my best to help.”

“What promise?”

Roka asked in a sharp voice. As soon as I patted the child, I let go of his sharp expression as if he wanted to miss it and let out a laugh hehehe. Well, at this point, I couldn’t even know.

Loca is a more angsty child than I thought. It didn’t happen in front of me, so I just didn’t know.

Aside from that, Rocca had to know for sure what the promise was.

“Rocca. Do you know what’s wrong with the Citadel Republic?”

Rocca had the expression she always had. Now you can tell what you want to say just by looking at your face.

‘Loca knows nothing.’ It is the expression that says It was also the expression that this child gave only to me.

“I told you about Grimudo and the monster corps before. Among those monsters, Phoenix, one of the strongest monsters, is now stimulating the Calderan Mountains near the Republic.”

But when he heard the sound of the phoenix, the child made a startled expression. If it was the usual Loka I knew, she would have said ‘Is that so?’

“Phoenix… the monarch of that monster?”

“You know too. Yes, that monster king. A monster that has been targeted by many people until now, but no one has succeeded.”

A monster is, after all, a creature created by Grimudo. I don’t know exactly how they made those big things, but they just happen and don’t go away.

Even a person with the ability to subdue monsters couldn’t help but be concerned about the fact that there was a Grimudo behind the monster. Therefore, it is rare that monsters are subjugated so that it can be counted with one hand.

There is already precedent for Manticore. He didn’t seem to care about catching the monster, but even so, the problem remains. There are no monsters that can be subjugated easily.

Among the dogs, the great monster Phoenix, who is so close to the Grimudo that it is even called the crown of the Grimudo, and possesses such strength, is a truly dangerous existence.

There is reason to be so sure.

Our party, we’ve seen it before.

‘Urine, Parnell and Lucia continued to grow stronger, so that point was not the peak of our party, but I don’t think we could have subjugated them if we met at the peak.’

No matter how much we benefited from the feathers of the blue bird, our party, which was strong enough to subdue the third-ranked demon lord, Grozam, barely made a whistle and had to be content with repulsing it.

Even that was close to Phoenix leaving because he didn’t want to fight any more.

Lucia looked at the red bird and bit her teeth tightly and vomited out hatred, but she couldn’t help the man who had to leave. If he had fought as it was, his odds of winning would not have been high.

Of course, I can’t take Loka in front of such a bastard.

Even if Loca is as strong as Urinell, Parnell, and Lucia combined, it is difficult to guarantee a win. If you go forward to Phoenix with your current skills, Loka will never survive.

‘Well, no other way.’

If the Empire and the Temple unite and mobilize all their powers to pour out, maybe they will be able to subdue it. But that’s a literal ideal.

I never thought the world could go back so hopefully.

The reason the Lord helps us right now is because we can’t.

‘The only choice is to spend the night blooming in the Milky Way.’

It is a matter of sharply intertwined interests. If only words could persuade His Majesty the Emperor and the three archbishops to ignore all their interests and join forces, that would be brainwashing, not eloquence. Of course, I don’t have that power, and the Lord who respects free will can’t help me build it.

There was no disappointment if there was no expectation, and there was no reason to be discouraged.

Of course, it would be nice if others could help, but you shouldn’t expect to help yourself at the expense of yourself. It’s not that things like that happen often, but it’s not something you can hope for in the first place.

Sacrifice is not something you can force on others. Who can say that to help others, even at the expense of self-interest?

The Lord can. However, as a human being, I cannot force others to do such things as if I could be anything myself.

‘Because my life, whose ascension is foretold, is not as precious as the lives of others.’

If someone else’s life is a flower that blooms once and is precious to fall, my life is a pine tree that blooms all year round.

Just because I have green leaves in the middle of winter, I cannot encourage you to see flowers and bloom. When they freeze to death, there is no next.

On the other hand, even if I die, my life will only change. So, when a moment like this comes, if I can sacrifice myself to save more people, it is right to walk that path with a smile. That is the price of the favor I received from the Lord.

“Rocca.”

But, if possible, I would like to walk alone on such a path.

“You stay here.”
