How to live as a wanderer

The stone gate, which was carved into a huge block of stone, was not opened by human strength. We had to keep the intruders from opening, so it was just a pebble.

But Suetlq clearly listened.

The sound of the stone gate twisting and moving!

“Hmmm…! ”

John's forearms bulge, and the massive stone wall begins to roll to his side. Suetlq couldn't keep his mouth shut.

“Oh, my God…! ”

A miracle that even a wizard like Suettleg can find God!

John opened the door, sweating.

“Luckily, it was open. You're lucky.”

“...... ”

“Suetlq? Stay with me. ”

“...... ”

Soottlecock wakes up and gives a quick command.

“Don't let the mercenaries in. The less eyes I see, the better. I'll bring only my slaves in. ”

“Are you sure you want to do this? I'll be the only one in here." ”

“No. Then I'm too sorry for you. I'll protect my body. And... you don't have to worry about secrets. Their mouths are special. ”

I had a hunch that the slaves he was carrying had received special treatments. I decided to ask him later, but John said small.

“How suspicious are you going to be? ”

“It's hard for mercenaries to see. Instead, I swear I will return the favor in the name of the Ipael River. ”

“I've always loved the Ipael River. ”

Johann and Suetlig smiled meaningfully. Whatever the pagan temple is, it was two people who took whatever was useful.

We won't let them in from outside.

Yeah. Whoever it is... don't let Stefan in.

?? I told you I wouldn't let you in.

... very good posture. Sir Gerdolf, you're a good knight.

Thank you, Ser.

“The corridor...! ”

John and Suetlg, who entered the passageway behind the stone wall, were amazed at the wide hallway before their eyes. In these remote mountain cliffs, there's a well-constructed building like this.

There was a statue standing next to the hall that I had never seen before. Suetlq points out one thing at a time.

“The Pantheon. In the days of the ancient empire, people believed in many gods. Isn't that amazing?"

“You can trust something, right? ”

“... your reaction is so dull that it's no fun. Anyway, he must have hid here and prayed. Look. Beautiful, isn't it? This god must have been a warrior god. ”

“Or a drunken god...”

Suetlq frowns. Hearing John's words, it really began to look like that.

“By the way, Mr. Suetlg, ”

“What's the matter? ”

“Don't you think the reason the Goblins are acting so strangely is related to this pagan temple? ”

“It is, but isn't it too quiet for that? I don't feel very popular. Maybe it doesn't matter. ”

Grrrrr.

Karamaf lets out a low cry. In response to the cry, three people appeared from the darkness ahead with a footstep. The fanatics dressed in foreign monks held torches in their hands.

“Ugh!”

“Trespasser!! ”

The Cultists seemed more frightened than Johann and Suetlq. From their point of view, I came out without much thought and met armed intruders.

“How the hell did you get in here? ”

Suetlq carelessly empathized with their reactions. Honestly, if Suetlg were in their shoes, he would have thought so.

A well-hidden secret door. It would have taken a few days to open the door, and by then it would have remained in the house.

“... I understand your surprise. Hit it!”

But, unlike the opposing Pokémon's surprise, if the opposing Pokémon is embarrassed, the user must strike. Moreover, those who stayed in these pagan temples could not have been healthy.

“How dare the corrupt! ”

The Cultists were furious and pulled the short sword from their waist. Suetlg, who felt the evil energy in the shadows, cries out in a frightening voice.

“Beware! I sense magical energy! ”

The slaves he serves were not as powerful as John, but with excellent swordsmanship. The user swings its center of gravity as soon as it encounters the Cultist.

By comparison, the Cultists were not very good at swordsmanship. When the sword hits, it struggles to respond. However, as Suetlj said, they had magical energy.

I cut my throat with the sound of 'puffy’, but the Cultists do not fall. The shadow spreads across the Cultist's body in an instant, wrapping around his neck and stopping the blood from coming out.

Blood feet stand on the Cultist's eyes and his face is blackened.

“I won't die...”

While the slave pauses, John's Mace flies and blows the Cultist's head off.

“...... ”

“It's not coming back?! It's not coming back. Die! ”

“Wait…! ”

John smashed the heads of the other Cultists who were frozen. I don't know what kind of magic it is, but it's better to blow the head off as long as the wound lasts.

“You don't have to do that, you're not a Troll! ”

“Oh, really? Tell me about it.”

“ ■ ■ ■! ■ ■! ”

Goblins appeared on the other side of the hall after clearing the Cultists' throats. It was reasonable to see him holding a spear in metal armor.

‘You were right to be involved. ’

Grrrrrrr!

John holds the mace. It was a Mace cut with Goblin blood in this subjugation. You flinch to see if the Goblin noticed the ominous energy.

“Come.”

With the horse, John became an incarnation of violence and attacked the Goblins.

How could the Punitive Force do that? ’

The wizard is ready to run to the face of chaos.

The Cultists in this secret temple were all confused. It was the same with the Wizard, their leader.

Suddenly, a surprise, a crazy fight... and anyone has to be prepared for the worst. The intruder was a minority, but there was no way to know.

“Where are you going? ”

“We need to get out of here. ”

“Ha, but you said Nahra will protect us here, right? ”

A god of shadows and blood. It was one of the gods that had existed since the ancient empire, but it was now forbidden in most places. It was a church that hated other gods, but Nahra's doctrine was too cruel and barbaric.

“I'm protecting you! ”

“How did the Punitive Force get in here while I was guarding it! ”

“God is sometimes fickle. Shut up and follow me!”

The wizard glances at Zirbo in annoyance. Had it not been for him, I would have abandoned him long ago. But I think the most useful thing in this temple is screaming.

The bastard of the Abner family!

The bastards were treated worse than the second. It was not difficult to lure a man full of complaints into the fraternity.

Zirbo's possessions were insignificant, but it was important that he was able to gain access to other nobles through him. I can't throw it away yet.

“If the Punitive Force chases you, you won't be able to get in here. I unravelled the Shadow Monster. This is also a revelation from Nahra. Move!”

“Al... got it. ”

Zirbo is ready to follow the wizard. However, his expression was black.

"There must be some punitive force outside..."

It was tempting to seduce the wizard, but suddenly the wizard didn't seem trustworthy. What if I go outside and get shot by a blind man?

It might have been better to reveal his identity and surrender.

Get out of here!

“! ”

The wizard wields a whip in case he notices that thought. It was a writhing black whip that moved like a living thing. The ground that passes through the whip is covered in black water.

“I thought I told you to move. ”

“Al. You said yes. ”

“Where it moves. ”

John enters the door with a growling sound. He was covered in the blood of his enemies. The two revealed eyes lit a fierce flame.

John kills the Goblins as soon as he can, and, according to Karamaf's guidance, heads to the wizard's darkroom, where he encounters a monster he's never seen before.

A four-legged monster with a black shadow!

But when we looked closely, he looked like a Goblin somewhere. I didn't know what you did to the Goblins, but I felt a sinister energy just looking at them.

“Give John the Silver Sword! ”

Suetlq yells sharply. Then one of the slaves hurriedly pulls out his sword. A silver blade.

Silver always works for every evil one.

John grabs hold of the sword and slashes his torso with a fierce swing.

Cheers!

The blood from his torso burns the ground in disgust. John kicks his tongue into the durability of the creaking black already.

“What a weak weapon...! ”

“What are you talking about!? That's a strong weapon! What are you doing? Come on! Help John!”

“Don't come! I'd rather fight alone. ”

It was uncomfortable dealing with monsters like those who didn't agree.

Can you hit him with another weapon? It's a little awkward to grab and tear... "

The most powerful thing about the Shadow Beast is that you don't know who it is. Is it valid to hit or to touch the body?

It was interfering with John's charge.

His vigor grows fiercer and fiercer as he notices John's hesitation. John decided to look at him.

‘Use a tensile retriever. ’

The most confident attack against the unknown was also the Seal Retriever.

He was neither untrustworthy nor indictable. Above all, they were holding on to each other's weaknesses too much.

John hurls his black sword at the creature with a long front leg like a whip.

“What are you doing?! ”

Puck!

John charges forward in response to the monster's screams. John's hand was drawn with another long sword. It was the Sword of the Ancient Empire, Seal Collector.

Once, twice, three times.

Every time the sword flashes, the monster's torso twitches and vomits blood. The black sword shines even brighter and damages the monster.

Bang!

John spits. You can see the tension retriever clearing away the creature's filthy blood as if it were being pushed away.

Suttleg said.

“... by the name of the Iphael River, I swear to be silent about what I just saw. ”

“You don't have to swear. ”

“...... ”

In John's words, Suttleg almost forgot his age for a moment. This young knight had the ability to impress in a strange way.

I don't know what sword it is, but there must be a story to see it hasn't been used yet.

But I can't believe you let him out like that.

“So what is this monster? ”

“I don't know everything. I think I did something to the Goblins... Hurry! We mustn't lose the Wizard. ”

“ ■ ■... ”

As soon as I saw John, I heard the Wizard try to cast a strange spell. At that moment, John's Seal Retriever flashes and blows the Wizard's head off.

The shadows and spells that were protecting the wizard's body were torn apart in a single blow, saving him.

“Well done! ”

Suetlq was impressed. He had a long conversation with the wizard and had nothing good to do, but he always overheard the wizard.

Those who deal with magic deal with the deepest secrets and mysteries. The voices of those who knew the truth were more persuasive than those of ordinary people.

However, John immediately blew his head off as if he had no interest. It was a pleasant judgment.

“I, I am the son of Earl Abner! I demand a fair trial. If you touch me, House Abner will never forgive you! ”

“?! ”

“... kill him! ”

Suttleg gives a cold order. Then the slaves who followed swung their swords. Suddenly, the nobleman's bastard collapses into a pool of blood.

“Wizard, what's wrong with him? ”

“I saw your sword. ”
