The Spearmaster and the Black Cat
Seventy-five stories, dead trees and alien-faced priests.
The speech is long......
It's not going to end, so take a tour of this city.
This is Shitsuji. The road continues up, down, left and right.
From me, the left hand is the harbor.
The road above is the West Gate.
On the northern side of the right hand side there is an uphill slope, with several divided alleys.
The terrain of this holker bum is gradually higher on the north side and there are many luxury mansions, but it may have something to do with the stone-cutting yard.
North is dismissed. Do you want to take the street that leads to the harbor with the most crowded streets?
Tilt the reins and turn Popobum's head south.
Various shops line up next door.
Through the street with the wagon, the cow truck merchants, as we approached the harbor...... the smell of fish drifted.
And I can see the docks. It's a bigger harbor than I expected.
There are many ships docked around the long docks paved with boards.
From aboard, the talap is stretched, and the sailors with bowls wrapped around their heads are carrying heavy baggage and walking out on the talap.
The pulley is also used, so he seemed busy working.
This neighborhood has a totally harbour-town vibe.
Lots of boxes pile up in the cattle carriage at the dock.
When the luggage truck moved out, it came this way.
The luggage carriage drifts through the limp air and through the side of the popobum I ride.
In the box of loads, tuna, whales? It contained cut giant lean meat, part of giant octopus. There are also other fish with abnormally developed jaws like deep-sea fish with multiple large mouths, only heads that look like monsters no matter what. Most of them were frozen. Someone must have frozen it with life magic.
The luggage truck goes away.
I found a sign at the end of that gaze that said Adventurer Guild.
Is that the Adventurer Alliance of this city?
Outside the terrace at the front entrance were several pieces of wood stabbed on the ground, and many ropes connected from horses and warcraft were attached to the pile.
The little stables on the side look overcrowded.
Then I'll join the Alliance and get my reward for fulfilling the request.
He turned to Popobum and went down in front of the guild, tying Popobum's reins to the pile at the front entrance.
Enter the Adventurer Guild building.
The black cat (Lolo) also followed a little late.
Adventurers gather on the wooden bulletin boards placed in the hall and choose to ask for them. I've shown off the sight of an Alliance.
It's an on-parade of all races: tiger faces, serpent faces, scaly faces, etc.
Next to it are some species with cat-like faces and four arms growing.
I also saw Dwarves in people and elves.
Oh, that big fat ass. I've seen them before.
It's a large species, with a whole body covered in hairs and pubes.
What a race name.
I'm walking heavy.
"Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
That's what I've been saying was a small, plump man seen as a dwarf coming in from behind.
"Oh, excuse me..."
Move aside in a hurry.
The black cat (Lolo) who was beside him walked to the side in the same way.
"Totally human..."
Dwarf's little man walks up to the novel.
Is this crowd more than [Heka Trail]?
No, I guess it's because this Adventurer Guild building is slightly smaller than the Heka Trail.
Maybe I just feel that way because it's narrow.
Avoiding the bulletin boards in the hall, such a hustle and bustle zone, he headed to what appeared to be the reception area behind him.
There, female adventurers and receptionists interact.
I listened and peeked.
The female adventurer has many large snail shells on the table.
"That's a request for ten bum shells. It's definitely enough shells. There's no damage, and it's five silver coins for the reward. Go ahead."
The receptionist is an animal man with brown wavy hair.
"Yeah, sure. Bye."
When the female adventurer grabs the money he has on the platform and puts it in his pocket, he briefly completes the conversation and leaves the reception.
I'll be at this reception, too.
I submitted my guild card to the Orc receptionist.
"We just arrived with a request for escort from Heka Trail. Here's the card."
"Yes, I keep the wood tag with the completion tag and your name on it. Wait a minute."
The attendant had a card and was working on plugging the card into a demonic prop with a crystal ball on the back.
"Thank you for waiting. Request complete. Here are the rewards and cards."
"Sure. Bye."
Receive a card and keep a piece of gold in your chest pocket, which is a reward.
Return the heel from the reception.
When I tried to leave the guild,
"Shuya, you're late."
"Whoa, Fran."
She smiles.
"Did you get paid yet?
"Yeah. Just now. Don't even look at the board of requests for francs like that, what are you doing here?
"Oh, oh, I've been waiting for Shuya"
"Me? What can I do for you?
Fran is dyeing Sobacus' cheeks red.
There was a clear eagle stopped on Fran's left shoulder like that.
"I'd like to take a request with Shuya..."
Fran is talking with his right hand scratching his cheeks polypoly.
A beautiful woman invites me.
Usually, I would organize it fast......
Fran is suspicious of something.
"Bad this time. I'm sorry."
"So, you say no?... Can't you do it?
Hmm, you want to put it together that far? Did you fall in love?
No, I don't think so...
The suspicion is that you are punished a little with kuna.
Let's say no here with the thought of a severance.
"... oh, sorry"
"Oh well."
"Mm-hmm. So, somewhere else?
"Ah."
Fran and I smile at each other, but we broke up there.
Returning to run outside the guild, he unwrapped the reins that were tied to the pile and rode across the popobum with momentum.
Again, we take a slow look at the shops from the nearby ports.
Across the slope of the mall, along the Heim River, I could see where people were gathering.
Run popobum because I got interested.
Apparently, it's a dock. Periodic ship station?
View the sign sign.
[Heka Trail] Recurring ship to.
[Senna Apua] Recurring ship to.
[Halfonia] Direct ship.
[Gromheim] Direct ship.
[Fadique] Direct Ship
[Pernette] Recurring ship to.
Numerous decorated rich style men lined the dock with signs.
The other shore looks slight, but there's no bridge or crossing ship if you want to go to the other shore?
When I was flirting with such questions, I heard the children.
"Uncle, uncle, give me some money"
Me too. Me too.
"My herbs, buy them."
"I'll polish my shoes."
There is a crowd of children dressed in impoverished pieces around the rich people waiting for the ship at the dock.
"- annoying, annoying! You little shit, don't come over here!
"Hey, don't touch me with your hands, don't try to touch my clothes!
"Absolutely, Holker stinks, go that way, Sissie."
Rich-style men and women face contempt.
Swim your hands off and shake the kids off snugly. He scolded the children as if to see them in garbage, and kept them away from themselves.
I wish I could apply a little......
Am I in the same hole watching without doing anything?
Ma, it could be some kind of business with an adult boss behind it.
Just stare where.
I go on popobum staring at those rich people.
Away from the regular sailboat yard, we proceeded to the paved dock.
Stop your legs and see the ship parked.
This ship is the same size as the ship that was on the Heka Trail.
It must be hard to row...
From the ship, loads are loaded and passengers are boarding and disembarking.
At that time, a group of people hung with black collars disembarked.
"- Whoa, to the people, Ella with the dandruff fisherman. Come on down. You'll be late for business at the mall, and you're the one who's gonna buy me a barbarian slave with a nautical collapse! More!
A merchant who was behind a group of slaves is flogging his voice to slaves with a whip in one hand and skipping instructions.
Tons of slaves.
The boat rowers can also be slaves... maybe some of those slaves walk stories like Benher.
I saw the harbor all the way back to the south road.
That's when - I saw a bridge construction site in the corner of my gaze.
Bridge here?
The bridge was a little, I was curious, so I proceeded with Popobum.
The bridge is in the process of being built...... no foundation work has been done yet, the work is finished in a halfway state.
Looks like we'll be able to get to the other shore on foot once this bridge is complete.
But there's something wrong with the position.
It's a little far from the harbor, and the entrance is narrow with an alley...
Why are you here? Will it expand even on the boulevard......
Ma, I was just wondering, it doesn't matter.
Well, it's time, okay?
I would have finished the priest's speech, and let's go back.
Return to the way you came.
I came back to the square of a dead tree.
Oh, just now, the priest has finished his speech.
When the priest wears the robe's headscarf, he walks away from the dead Great Tree Square.
- Follow.
The priest entered the pale old mansion that was right in front of Crossroads Square.
That's close... I'll move Popobum to the front of the mansion too.
At the entrance to the mansion was the Temple of Holker and a carved thin, dirty wooden plaque.
Is this still a temple... it feels like a mansion?
Get out of the popobum in front of the mansion and keep the reins connected to the pile.
The black cat (Lolo) sitting on the back of Popobum's head moved to my shoulder.
Push open the big brown door of the mansion and go inside - oh, isn't the contents something else?
Unlike the stylish appearance, the characteristic columns that made use of natural thick wood supported the ceiling building trees and the mother house, a simple interior that took advantage of the spacious space.
In the middle there is an altar, where light is poured from the ceiling into a large distorted bonsai that is above the altar like a magical source of light.
The bonsai felt magic and wrapped in the green light.
It makes me feel strange and sacred, coupled with the light of a single article.
The atmosphere is about to come down.
The priest sits in an elephant-embedded oak chair near a pedestal that makes him feel such a special atmosphere that he writes something about oysters and writings on parchment paper with a feather pen.
I feel the same air I make in the magic book, a little nervous, but I try to talk to him...... I walk on the floor where the brown rug continues to go to the central pedestal. But when the priest stopped writing and stood up, he spoke to me.
"Welcome to the Temple of Holkerbum, does it look like something?
Looking again at the face of a husky voice priest, after all, he is not a human race.
The skin is also a mixture of dark blue and light red, shades close to purple.
The orbital bones are flying out to the side, long and thin.
I'm convinced even when they say aliens and demons......
I've seen quite a few kinds of races, but I still think it's the first.
I was staring at such a rare priest's face for a while.
"... are you okay? Can you hear me?
Strangely, the priest asks with his neck tilted.
"... yeah, ah, yes. Excuse me. I was listening to you in the square earlier."
"Oh, that's"
"But I want to talk to you again, and it's up to me to come here."
When I say so, the priest moves his big cheekbone with joy.
The expression is rich.
"Yeah, of course you don't mind. Ningro, as long as you're interested. It seems to steam back earlier, but the big tree in the Holker looks dead, but it's still sturdy, and resurrection is possible."
Heh, confident words.
"Resurrection? Can you cure that dead great tree?
"Yeah, yes. Many people, including lords, don't seem to believe..."
The priest speaks a little down.
"If that's true, I wish I could be resurrected."
"Are you an adventurer?
"That's right. It's called the C-ranked Shuya Kagari."
When I named myself Adventurer, this priest changed the color of his eyes.
"Oh, that's survival. Are you Mr. Shuya, the adventurer? My name is Peradas the Priest. Did you see the request for" Resurrection of the Great Holker Tree ”that I asked for in my guild?
"No, I haven't seen the request yet. Actually, I wanted to ask...... do you know the words Xuan Tree's Light Wine Pearl, the Jewel of Wisdom?
The priest tilted his head.
With this reaction, unfortunately, you don't seem to know.
"... a jewel of wisdom in the light liquor beads of the Xuan Tree? No... not at all, I've never heard of it... what is it like?
Not at all.
I saw a little face of the black cat (Rollo) on my shoulder and then I answered.
"... wisdom, intelligence stretches, returns to its original appearance, and is given knowledge. or something. It could also be edible, and I also heard the gaga that Sadura, the god of plants, made..."
When the priest heard the word Sadura, the plant god, he moved an expression muscle that seemed to be a surprise expression. It may be different because of its different shape.
"- What is it? This Temple of the Holker serves the Spirit Holker, but the God of the Plant, Sadura, and the God of the Earth, Gaia, are the superior gods of their families, gods who are said to have created the Spirit Holker, right? Perhaps it has something to do with the light liquor beads of the Xuan tree and the great trees of the dead Holker here."
The priest is a quick, exciting way of saying it.
Well, that's why I came to ask.
Then, let's ask a question about God.
"God... where can I talk to you?
The priest didn't even look disgusted by my ignorant question, and when he gave me the look of mercy,
"... hehe, is it dialogue with God, normally speaking, etc... after all, not fulfilling. God and the Spirit don't try to make much contact with the destined. Unless something like that happens..."
The priest spoke to teach in a gentle tone, but at the end of the story, he moves his mouth by changing his face like something flashed.
"- No, maybe we can talk. Dear Sadura, god of plants, Gaia, god of the earth, to the Spirit Holker of the Great Tree, descendant of his family to his gods!
Excited priest.
But is it true...
"What's that?
"… that if you can revive the“ dead great tree of the Holker ”in this city, you may receive blessings from the god of plants, Sadura, and the god of the earth, Gaia, and dialogue with the gods!
"Nguyen, you old fool"
The black cat (Lolo) on his shoulder was reacting with a strange voice to the words of an excited priest.
He sees the priest's weird excited face and thinks it's true.
"What about that black cat?
"Oh, he's my user demon, and he's my partner"
"I see, adorable"
"Nah."
Black Cat (Rollo) moves one foot up and down and slaps on the shoulder.
As usual, I was pounding and appealing.
"I want to give the black cat, who is also the demon of this use, the light wine bead of Xuan Tree, the jewel of wisdom. If dialogue with the gods succeeds, do you think you'll get those artifacts?
Talk as you stroke the head of the black cat (Lolo) on your shoulder.
"Yes, if you were able to revive the great tree of the Holker, you might be blessed by the" God of plants, Sadura, "or“ God of the earth, Gaia, "and you might get that" light wine bead of the Xuan Tree ”and“ jewel of wisdom ""
The priest was a serious eyewitness, talking.
Maybe you'll get it. Maybe we're just talking appropriately, so I'll give it a try.
"God bless? Though you told me you could resurrect that big, dead tree. Is that really possible?
I was talking in suspicious gaze.
When the priest hears it, he opens his eyes.
He opened his mouth in a disoriented and intentional position.
"- Those who have had dialogue with God in the grace of blessings have long existed. And Holker's tree is still alive. So, you can definitely come back! I, the Holker Priest, have special skills to encourage regeneration, and there are other ways in which the Bible writes and transmits it."
Pass it on to your skills.
The priest had his hands on a thick book on the altar.
Is that the Bible?
"Then why aren't you trying to revive yourself?
When the priest hears my words, he immediately changes his expression from a tenacious attitude and shows a glimmer on his face.
"... that, indeed. If it is meant to be, I must take the initiative and move for resurrection. But we need two materials for that resurrection. The first is over the Mahaheim Mountains, in a remote exotic“ mountain city with lakes "to the north beyond the desert, and the second is also said to be in the [former Befaritz Empire] territory of the far northeast beyond the Mahaheim Mountains" Sadura Forest ".
That's too far away......
"Far..."
"Yes, it's too far away. It's a position of priesthood, but not many of my species are in this city, and there are few collaborators. Besides, most importantly, if I leave this place, I will not be able to protect the great tree of Holker that this Father and Mother protected from the" wicked. "If you don't pray and strengthen your ties, you may really wither away...... Not only that, but I don't care when the lords here will start logging the great trees.... so I can't leave [Holker Bum]..."
I wonder what the “bad guys” are.
Now, okay?
The priest said he made a request to the Adventurer Alliance because he couldn't leave.
"Is that what you mean? So you made a request to the Adventurer Alliance."
"Yes. Exactly. But the trouble is, even if I submit a request for a long time, no one will accept it."
Nobody took it, or...
Two places where materials are needed and yet far away.
Now, I don't even know if there really is.
However, I think it depends on the reward......
"What are the rewards for success when you sign up for the Alliance?
The priest looks at me with a gaze of anticipation of something.
"Holy Flower of the Holker” and “Wood Piece of the Holker Tree” are rewards. "
Uh, that's it? This is why nobody takes it.
Let's just ask.
"... what is it?
"The scriptures say that special flowers bloom when they are resurrected from dead trees."
"Special flowers?
"Yes, the first flower petal that blooms is a special petal called the Holy Flower of the Holker. It looks like a white, shiny, clear, clear flower petal, and if you combine that petal with a young bud, the number is small, but you can make a super healing pill that will cure injuries and help with all the illnesses."
It works for all kinds of diseases...... wow if it's true.
"What is a piece of wood from Holker Daiki?
"It is said that a piece of wood will fall upon its resurrection from the dead tree, but that piece of wood will dwell the power of Sadura and Gaia, allowing them to exercise the power of the Holker. It says," Holy Amulet. "
"Is that all? Don't you have any money?
"Nha?
Black Cat (Lolo) was also ringing at the priest as he rode on his shoulder to match me.
"Yes. I don't have much to contribute. I don't have any money... If I do, is it about this temple, the Mansion's Letter of Rights and my crude body... still okay?
"What, sell the house? Priest's Body!? Is that good?
Or are you a woman!
And I wanted to say it out loud but I put up with it.
"Yes, I call myself a priest, but one woman, a follower of the Temple of Holker. If you can see the resurrection of the great tree, that's fine."
Sell your body for faith?
I know it's pious... but I can't say anything.
"... but what would you do if that great tree was felled while you were looking for materials, if you received a request?
"So I have asked the Lord of Holkerbum many times. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the petition."
Several times.
When asked why, it's not so easy for a lord to shake his neck vertically.
"I also know that other adventurers don't take this request in such unsubstantiated stories. Even if you bring the requested material, it doesn't make sense that the trees might be cut."
"Yeah, it sure is..."
So the priest bows his head.
Finally, I started to sit down with my hands on it.
"- Mr. Shuya, no, Master Shuya, please. Master Shuya is the first adventurer to hear about Daiki so far. Your wish may also be fulfilled with regard to the" Xuan Tree Light Wine Pearl ”earlier. Please, take this request. And I'm headed to the lord's tomorrow for a petition...... can you accompany me once I can? I'd like to ask for a halt to the logging of the great trees... if I can persuade you to do so."
I'm so desperate.
Is it so important?
Convince Your Lords - Miserable - Collect Materials - Revive the Great Tree and Dialogue with God - Hint of the Light Wine Pearl of the Xuan Tree or Getting the Treasure of Wisdom That Object - Get an Alien Aunt's Wife and Home, huh?
And, although I have lightly anticipated it.
But so far, this seems to be the only clue to Xuan Tree's light liquor beads and wisdom jewels...
Why don't you leave the house with the priest (the alien daughter-in-law), who is a joke, and take this request and try it?
"... right. I get it. Take the request. I'll take it in my guild. I'm just not sure the lord's going to convince you well, are I? And don't“ Dear "me.
"Oh, thank you. Yes, then, Mr. Shuya, I will try my best to persuade my lord."
You were so happy, it's suddenly high tension.
"Yes, Mr. Peradas. This material is needed for its resurrection, but please tell me a little more"
"Yes. Then you can stop me, too. My name is Marin Peradas. Call me a priest or a marin and feel free to call me."
"Okay. In the priest."
The priest was happily pulling up her quilted cheeks and smiling.
Should I say I have this smile, this strange charm......
"Yes, then I will explain the material. … the first is a large“ Lake Aclesis ”at the foot of Mount Fortna, a western region of [the religious state Heslifart] that crosses the Mahaheim Mountains and beyond [the Gordics Desert], but I want“ fresh water of Aclesis "overflowing from the statue dedicated to" Aclesis the god of water ”somewhere in it."
Mount Fortna is, uh, the area where Rubia was.
Is it an area where there is a religious state...
"The second is that there is said to be an area in the [former Befaritz Empire] Great Forest Zone, directly east of [Arkhamnellis Holy King's Kingdom] in [the religious state Heslifart], called the [Forest of Sadura]. It is said there is a" Sadura giant tree ”, but we need one of its giant leaves," Sadura leaves ”. But nowadays, it's called" The Realm, "and the wounds of past wars seem to be terrible… from here on out, it's a much farther northeast region beyond the Mahaheim Mountains."
Sadura leaves in fresh water coming out of the statue of the god of water Akresis......
Can we go from northwest to true east across the mountains?
You're a normal adventurer, this is tough. It's too far away.
But I have a gate.
You should be able to collect them quite quickly.
I'm a little scared when it comes to going through the sphere of influence of a religious state......
"… these two will be the materials"
"Okay. Remember. See you tomorrow at Lord's Convince."
"Yes, thank you. I'll be expecting you tomorrow morning."
"Yeah. See you tomorrow"
That's what I said, I'm going out of the temple mansion.
He was an unusual priest.
Later, for now, take a request at the guild... to find a place to stay.
Get in the popobum and head to the guild.
Return to the guild and find the priest's request on the board.
Found it right away.
Request details: B-rank “Fresh water from Acresys” and “Leaves from Sadura” collection.
Crusaded: None
Entry period: indefinite
Exploration area: near Mount Fortna, the Great Forest of the Demonic Realm
Reward: Holy Flower of the Holker, Wood Piece of the Holker Great Tree
Crusade Evidence: No
Note: The place where the royal capital of [the former Befaritz Great Empire] was located has been abandoned and is now a nest of demons. “Rift of the Demon Realm” needs attention. A-rank encouragement, but since it is a basic exploration, the difficulty shall be B.
Remarks: We will discuss this with you in detail.
Naturally, there is no indication that anyone touched the piece of wood on which the mark of this request was written.
Ma, I don't even know if there's really a reward, and it's natural.
Take the piece of wood that nobody tries to touch and take it to the receptionist.
The request was received immediately.
Then ask the receptionist for a place to stay.
"Excuse me. Do you have a room or something to recommend?
"Yes. There are a few of them. There is a luxury accommodation called" Hotel Arandu ”in the Arom shopping district. Near the West Gate, the Windhonking Pavilion is also recommended, as is the Hotel Chileara, near the Lords' Hall in the emerging north."
"Thanks, I'll remember"
The receptionist taught me three inns.
Head to luxury lodging in the mall, the hotel's name-like lodging.
I left the guild and headed to the mall.
Through the squares of the dead great trees, we return to the streets where we have proceeded.
Whoa, there. Discover a sign that says Alandu.
Only in front of the hotel was the square secured as a drag from the main street.
Manipulate Popobum and enter the hotel grounds.
