1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

Chapter 47

1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 2 Episode 22

22. Villager! (2)

There was a villager boom all over Initium.

Yes, it was until recently, but it was all in the past tense.

After it was revealed that Hou and Hoya were the same person, many of the new players who came in admired him and changed their jobs to villagers.

He thinks that if he manages his favorability well and learns the skill, he will be able to become that strong too.

However, contrary to their thoughts, the villagers were not happy.

No matter how hard you work to manage your liking and how high you are, if you learn a skill from A and then learn a skill from B, then A’s favorability drops immediately.

In the end, many new players who had become villagers deleted their characters and raised them again, an unprecedented situation.

However, despite this, there were quite a few people who kept their jobs as villagers by chasing their fantasy.

“……”

Hoya couldn’t shake the thought that his eyes were wrong now.

As Badu’s level reached 20, a quest for Badu’s growth occurred.

What was needed for that quest was hunting 30 monsters and ‘Holy Water’.

The number of monsters had already been filled, so when I came to Ahesha to find holy water, people with the same appearance were walking in front of me.

People with brown skin and green hair were seen quite often on the side of the road.

Moreover, the strange thing was that although they were of different kinds, everyone was wearing a mask.

like…….

“Wow?”

[Status: There are a lot of people similar to the owner, so I am embarrassed. Growth is still low, so it is not showing most of its original strength.]

Do you feel that way too…?

The villagers boom that occurred in Initium included not only ‘job’ villagers but also ‘hoya’.

There were many new players who mimic the appearance and equipment of the ranker from the beginning.

This time, the target of the imitation was Hoya.

“……”

Hoya put on a deep hood and headed to the central temple to purchase holy water.

Seongsu is a body that boasts a fairly high price.

However, the quantity is not so low that even if you have money, you can buy it immediately.

He arrived at the temple and looked up at it.

Although this was my second visit as I had come unintentionally before, it was my first time seeing the exterior of the temple.

It was beautifully decorated, but it felt old-fashioned that it did not give a feeling of excessiveness.

Hoya immediately went looking for the priest.

When he found a priest and revealed his intention to purchase holy water, he kindly guided Hoya.

“thank you.”

“Blessed be Eve-nim.”

If you feed this holy water to Badu, the quest will be cleared.

Even so, he could not summon Badu from within the temple and feed him, so Hoya thanked the priest to leave the temple and turned his feet.

Then I heard the murmur of the priests.

“Ah, Arya-sama.”

“Hello, brothers and sisters. May Eve’s blessings be on everyone.”

“Blessed be Eve-nim.”

Arya delivered her blessings to the priests who approached her.

Arya, who had escaped the murmur of the priests, passed Hoya and turned around the empty corner.“Adventurer, aren’t you really overthinking?”

Her voice came from over the corner Arya had turned to.

“Yes? Me?”

“Of course it’s you. How can you not come to keep your promise after so much time has passed?”

Appointment? What promise are you talking about?

When Hoya didn’t answer, she looked at Hoya by sticking her head out so that no one else could see it.

Arya looked at her hoya and sighed.

“Hey, it looks like you don’t remember. You asked me to tell you what happened later, didn’t you?”

Wasn’t that just a thing?

Hoya knew she was just saying something, so she just let it go, but Aria she probably wasn’t saying what she just said.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were just saying…”

“There’s no way a saint can spit her words out!”

Arya handed her Hoya one of her badges and asked her to tell her story in her own room.

If she wears this badge, she says, she can enter the depths of the central shrine without any interference.

Hoya felt sorry for her for nothing, so she accepted her request.

It seems that Badu’s quest should be completed a little later.

Hoya went to the saint’s room based on his memories of when he first came here with the badge on.

She ran into some priests on the way, but found the badge Hoya was wearing and she cleared the way with a warm smile.

“Come on, keep your promise! Her saint’s blessing is expensive!”

Hoya talked for an hour before he was able to get out of her hand.

She said her goodbyes to Arya and opened the door to leave her room, and a man was standing in front of her.

Looking at the hand that stood haphazardly in the air, it seemed that Hoya had opened the door just before knocking.

The man didn’t let him get out of the way, so Hoya raised his head slightly to look at his face, and his eyes met.

The man was looking down at Hoya with a slightly blunt but surprised face.

“Hoya……?”

“Yes?”

“Huh? Doban, what are you doing today?”

Arya found it strange that Hoya was standing still without going out, so she approached her and found the man at the door.

Dovan? If it’s a doban

“Aria-sama, it is Arya-sama who called me.”

“Ah, ahh. Was today that day? I’m sorry, I forgot.”

“…it doesn’t happen once or twice, so it’s not surprising anymore.”

Dovan’s gaze, who was having a conversation with Arya, turned to Hoya again.

“Hey… is that right?”

“Ah yes.”

“…can I add friends?”

* * *

“Dovan, is this you?”

A penthouse on the top floor of an apartment building right next to Central Park in New York.

After taking a shower, the toddler handed the tablet to Dovan, who came out of the bathroom with only one towel on, and played a video.

“……This.”

“Isn’t it you?”

“I’m not.”

Doban rolled back the part that had just been played back and looked back.

Surrounded by numerous undead, the cloaked figure’s entire body and weapons emit a divine white light subtly.

Behind his head, he seems to see a halo.

Kagak, spatula.

When the cloak swings the sword once, a large wound of light is engraved on the Death Knight’s body.

As soon as he swings his sword again, the Death Knight becomes a light and disappears.

“But this is God’s blessing, isn’t it?”

“Looks like that.”

Skill ‘God’s Protection’.

All attacks inflict additional damage for 10 minutes, and if the opponent is an undead or dark monster, the additional damage increases and leaves a stigma that deals continuous damage.

It was the job skill of ‘Light Guardian Knight’, the occupation of the doban.

Why is Iza in the video using it?

‘Are there other guardian knights besides me?’

Dovan thought so.

It is the guardian knight of light to protect the saint when she leaves the central temple or when a threat comes to her body.

It wasn’t that each of the successive Guardian Knights existed, but the Light Guardian Knight was definitely a hidden job, so I thought that he would be the only one.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

There is also a record that there were two guardian knights at the same time, so it is not strange to say that there is one more guardian knight of light.

At that time he thought so.

However, a video was released recently.

In the video of Snow White Tiger’s attack on the Hall of Heroes, the person who used God’s protection was accurately recorded.

However, his occupation was not a light guardian knight.

Villager, that was his job.

Who the hell did you learn from?

The previous guardian knights have already returned to Eve’s side.

Even the existence of modern guardian knights is questionable.

There must be no one who can teach me that skill…

The villagers began to be interested.

* * *

Hopefully we will meet in a place like this.

It was completely unexpected.

Dovan looked down at him, one head smaller than himself.

Hoya, a villager who can use divine protection.

He was coming out of Saint Arya’s room.

‘Is it Arya-sama who taught Iza the divine magic?’

If the subject she was taught was a saint, it was a possibility.

“…can I add friends?”

At Doban’s words, Hoya suddenly nodded his head.

“Oh? Do you two know each other?”

The two could not answer Arya’s question.

In some ways, we knew each other, but in other ways, we were also strangers.

We know each other, but now is the first time we’ve seen each other.

‘Oh, then is it just someone else?’

Hoya made that conclusion and replied to Arya that he did not know.

Doban’s answer was not so different.

Having received Arya’s see-off, Hoya went out of the city and summoned his Badu.

“Wow!”

As soon as he was summoned, Badu naturally climbed onto Hoya’s head.

It was a habit that came about because Hoya always moved with it on his head.

Hoya lowered the badu that was on his head to the ground, took out holy water, put it in a wide bowl, and set it down in front of him.

As Badu sniffed the holy water and drank the holy water without hesitation, a change occurred in Badu along with a system message.

[You have cleared the quest ‘Badu’s First Step’.][Pet ‘Badu’ acquires skill ‘Giantization’][Pet ‘Badu’ acquires skill ‘Blaze Step’.]

skill

[Fireball] [Instinct] [Enlargement] [Blaze Step]

Loyalty: 93%

Status: I am satisfied with my growth. It feels like one step forward. Its growth is still low and it is not showing most of its original strength.

The race mark had not yet appeared.

But it was a satisfactory result.

Hoya looked at Badu.

“Um, I didn’t expect this.”

“Cheong?”

Badu tilted his head.

It used to be a scene that would exude a lot of cuteness, but now, instead of being cute, I was feeling handsome, or cool.

The Badu, which was small enough to ride on top of his head, had changed to the size of a large dog.

His round face was slightly sharpened, and his eyes were also charismatic.

It would be fine if Badu himself was satisfied.

[Giantization]

Make your body gigantic.

The more you grow, the more you can change.

[Blaze Step]

He encircles his feet in flames and engraves footprints of fire on the ground.

Footsteps of Fire automatically extinguishes flames when the Blaze Step is removed.

It seems that it is necessary to confirm how large the giantization is.

“Badu, would you like to make it gigantic?”

“Kong!”

Badu’s body started to grow bigger and bigger and stopped growing at a size slightly smaller than a horse.

As his body grew, it was noticeable that his appearance had changed even sharper.

…So please don’t try to get on your head in that state.

“Keeping……”

There’s nothing wrong with unraveling the giant.

Although not much time has passed since he has grown up, I wanted him to be aware of his size.

Hoya nearly nailed his face to the ground several times that day.
