Chapter 620
Yan Tie woke up early in the morning as usual today.
I woke up a little earlier than usual, but it wasn’t something to worry about. She got out of bed with her own impression that even the dawn air seemed to be slowly starting to regain warmth, washed up lightly, changed clothes, and prepared a meal.
In a house without a single person, only the sound of cooking resounded, and the finished food was 7 servings. After finishing all the settings until it cooled down, Yan Tier nodded in satisfaction and opened his mouth for the first time.
“Let’s have breakfast together and talk.”
Instead of looking around or looking at a specific place, I naturally sat down and at the words I threw, six people from the second floor walked down.
The blonde woman, who was the only one among them who couldn’t even hear the sound of her clothes brushing, spat out a belated reply with a subtle smile.
“I was wondering when he would notice while deliberately killing all the signs, did you already know?”
“Thanks to you, I woke up a little earlier than usual. If you do that again, I recommend not going up to the second floor. Did things go well?”
“Then, who are you asking?”
Even until dawn, a woman who was a thief called a spider beckoned, and the people behind took off their hoods and sat down. Thieh greeted them with a light nod and continued talking while looking at the woman who was seated a little later.
“Thank you for your help, Luzhin. And I’m sorry for making you abandon your identity this time.”
“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. It felt like if I kept it for a few more months, I would have naturally turned to the other side of the church.
Smiling lightly and holding a spoon normally, she also doesn’t make any noise except for her voice. All I hear now and then is the inevitable sound of cutlery hitting the bowl or sauce getting soggy. It was not magical, but a skill derived from thoroughly controlled movements that were inscribed in the body after rigorous training, but no one showed any signs of discomfort.
“Above all, the timing was just right. They said that the dragon slayer warrior got away as soon as he arrived in Levien.
“I don’t mean to.”
“That’s what they say. How can I show condescension when the other person looks like that?”
At first glance, it might sound like a bargain was useless due to Eldmia’s powerlessness, but it meant something completely different to them. Thanks to that, everyone who quietly continued the meal burst into laughter at the woman’s ‘joke’.
Externally, it is known only in a vague form that the value varies depending on the value of the object requesting the contract, but the reality is different. They were close to putting the client’s fate, which changes through the request, on the scale, not the value of the client.
When a request is carried out according to the request of the client, balancing the price with the maximum and minimum profit that the client can reap. It was a possible transaction because it was possible to vaguely guess the fate of a normal person even if he could not guess even if he grasped all the abilities and surrounding circumstances of the original target.
If there is a possibility of drastically changing fate with the help of the church, the ransom price will be that much higher, but on the contrary, it will be lower for those who do not need the church’s help. It was clear that if the Demon God’s Hero put in the request, their ransom would be unpaid.
“According to the contact from the empire, it seems that the imperial family is moving in line with the hero’s return this time. The rumor that the Iron Blood Princess is interested in the dragon slayer hero must have been true.”
“I would have been pretty surprised if I had heard of it before I received the Dragon Byproducts, but I’m not too surprised anymore.”
“I feel the same way. I can’t believe that I had my coming-of-age ceremony this year.
Lujin, who finished her meal without spilling any crumbs while talking like an infinitely light and noisy person, changed the topic while looking at the dawn sky slowly brightening from outside the window.
“As you might have guessed, the Church is very interested in dragon slayer warriors.”
“That’s why they were willing to support you guys.”
“No, that’s because I rushed to help. These friends also came on their own. Of course, if I had stayed quiet, the church would have stepped in and sent others.”
Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, Tie opened her eyes slightly and asked people with her eyes. And when the affirmation came back with a silent nod, he put down the tableware and asked a question, even though he hadn’t finished eating yet.
“Why?”
“Of course it’s because he’s faithful. No matter who sees it, he’s the owner of an unusual fate, right?”
Although it may not seem like that at all externally, all members of the church are priests. They had faith in their god, ‘Dream’, and that’s why they don’t want a high-price contract.
What they really want is a near-unpaid contract. According to their faith, they make contracts with those who walk the truly worthy path, and live with the desire to become the cornerstone that solidifies their destiny. That is the reason why most of them are dedicated to the church, rather than wasting it for self-interest even after receiving a ransom that skyrocketed to the ceiling.
A place where the belief that the world can be made more beneficial by helping those who are born with a noble destiny and the belief that it is absolutely necessary to dirty the hands of such people instead.
And where those who follow that faith gather. that is the church Because of that, Lujin could say that their actions were the result of sincerity, and Tie also understood the answer. It was just a tightrope in the way of thinking of the secular world, but it was a story that did not work for them.
“The church wants you to sign a contract with Ega-nim.”
It was a remark that meant the full support of the church rather than simply hiring one or two people, but the answer that came back was infinitely calm.
“It will be a noble act that will be recorded in the church’s history books. A human warrior possessed by a demon god, maybe it will be the key to severing the confrontation between the two races that has been going on so far. What brothers and sisters do not have their hearts pounding? ”
Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to living a normal life, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Because dreams do not appear above the surface of reality, heroes do not appear in the Order.
Even so, it was not that the Church felt regret for such a fact, nor did it yearn for the heroes of other Churches. Rather, he evaluates the value of a hero more calmly, and tends to take a step that doesn’t even bother him if he doesn’t meet the criteria.
Sometimes it’s like taking the lead and helping the hero, but other times, it’s like giving priority to a hero who’s just starting to make a name for himself, not a hero.
The fact that such a church is openly showing interest in Eldmia…
“Did the saintess give an oracle?”
“There are signs. I’m gradually sleeping more than I’m awake.”
No matter how hard he tried to keep his composure, Tie’s heart raced this time as well.
“The guardians say that the trust will be issued within a week at the earliest.
It was Lujin who got up from her seat and put away her tableware, speaking in passing, but she also couldn’t hide her rising emotions.
“Even if the oracle has nothing to do with the dragon slayer and the dragon love, it won’t change the church’s mind. Try to say something beforehand.”
“…I’ll try. I’ve been worried about it since earlier. Why is the title called like that?”
“Why? I haven’t even spoken out yet, so I think it’s an appropriate sense of distance? Isn’t it?”
Lujin tilted her head and asked the other five, as if genuinely curious, but the only answer that came back was an affirmation of Tie’s opinion.
After that, while everyone got up together and finished the process of washing and organizing the dishes, Lujin expressed his opinion, but the result did not change. In the end, Lujin, who was forced to admit that his sense was not very good, went to the door with a dissatisfied nose wrinkled.
“Then I’ll be waiting for good news. I think I’ll stay here for a while and help organize the surroundings, so feel free to contact me if necessary.”
“Thank you. Since you helped protect the by-products, let’s talk to Ega-sama and set up a separate table for dinner.”
“Haha, I didn’t want that, but it would be nice if you did.”
Lujin opened the door with a small smile and followed the footsteps of the other five people with their hoods on.
There is no noise there. Even the moment when the door opened and closed was very quiet. Thie silently saw them off through the window as they passed naturally between the knights guarding the yard.
It didn’t take long for the six people to quietly disappear without attracting anyone’s attention.
