The Paladin Owns the Relic

55 – The Search for Paramer (1)

Dimona was furious.

“This is nothing more than an open push to die! Would you put you in the imperial search party?!”

“Isn’t it supposed to be black? Anyway, the cause is over there. In addition, an order from the imperial family. Isn’t the church different from before? I know you have to listen to anything they ask for.”

“Right! That’s right! It’s ridiculous to pick only you and Rosemary to talk about!”

I raised a weapon. Hmm. The quality is good, but…To be honest, I have to say it’s a bit lacking.

You should hurry up and collect all the scattered perks. Among them, the first rank is the relics of Ra. Excluding Brunac, there are about 4 of them in the northern part of the Empire…

Shall we pick one up on the way back after this mission is over?

“No, Zahard! You hear me?! Why are you so calm?! Didn’t you hear? Even though five search teams have left so far, it is an atrocious mission with a 0% survival rate!”

“That’s right…”

The search for Paramer.

This is a tricky mission. It’s because you’re going inside a city that was massacred for unknown reasons. But even so, there was nothing to hold back from me.

Why?

I’ve cleared it many times! I know all the attack points one after another!

“Am I a genius?”

“I feel diligence! It’s a feeling of hard work!”

“Confidence based?”

“Unfounded confidence!”

Demona, who was huffing up, turned round and round.

“I will make a formal proposal to the Holy See! I refuse to do such nonsense…!”

“You can’t say no.”

I took Dimona’s hand.

“I’m sure Dwayne will find fault with him. The achievements of the 5th Inquisition itself would be reduced. I don’t know how to put pressure on the Heretic Inquisition using this incident as an excuse. Maybe the other side is waiting for a rejection. That might be the goal.”

“But you want me to accept it as it is?!”

“I don’t mean to be victimized.”

If I finish this job, I will be famous as a paladin who succeeded in an impossible mission.

That reputation could well overturn his notoriety as a whistleblower. If public opinion changes, the Holy See will not be able to easily ignore me.

In that case, it is a natural procedure to obtain achievements as well as the right to become an academy teacher.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to win as if showing off? Yes?”

“…No, that’s why there’s no way that’s going to happen…”

“Dimona Heretic Judge. Who am I?”

I smiled broadly.

“Aren’t you the one who succeeded in everything the judge said you wouldn’t be able to do?”

“…If he was an enemy, he would be a scary person.”

Dimona strained her body. Leaned against her wall.

“Have you already made up your mind to go?”

“Of course.”

“…Then I will prepare accordingly.”

Dimona narrowed her eyes.

“Because I can’t just let you go.”

. . .

Dimona’s platinum hair swayed. Once she made up her mind, she took care of things frighteningly quickly.

“You have nothing to do. Just rest until we leave for the mission.”

The paperwork caught fire. Finished in her half day, she wandered around her smithy.

“Are you holding your pocket?”

“You mean putting the magic sword?”

“I think we need one more. I’ll put two orders in the form of bracelets. Wouldn’t it be better to have free storage instead of less capacity?”

“Money is…”

“I don’t need it. I will buy it with my own money. Save some money in the first place. I’m not just giving it to just anyone.”

“Isn’t Dimona just anyone?”

She rolled her eyes.

“You speak well.”

Dimona’s backpacks began to pile up.

“I put 3 potions. Ten emergency rations. I put it in as a delicious product, so I only eat it in real emergencies. They cost 50,000 talents each.”

“Dimona shuddered even when she bought 100,000 talents of silk…!”

“Don’t say anything strange. It’s because mission items are different from my entertainment expenses. The custom-made greatsword, ax, and spear will come separately. It’s made of imperial steel, Dask, so it’s much lighter and stronger than the greatsword you’ve been carrying.”

“Did you buy that with your own money?”

“Don’t ask. My stomach hurts.”

She poured out her nags.

“Okay? What I put down here is emergency water. Unlike ordinary water, it has a higher absorption rate. Don’t drink this on a regular basis. Drink only when necessary. If you eat it because it’s delicious, you won’t be able to drink it when it’s really important.”

“What is this?”

“It is an insect repellent spray. I tried it once and it worked well. It also covers up the stench a bit. There will be many situations where you can’t wash it off, so spray it on your body once in a while.”

“…Is this?”

“It’s a bandage. It’s okay to use holy power, but just stick a band-aid on small wounds. If you use your holy power too much, there are times when you cannot use it in a situation where you need it.”

“That Apostle of Ra… Overflowing with holy power…”

“Don’t throw up. This is a bandage…This is the antiseptic to apply under the bandage…And this is a dry snack that tastes sweet when chewed…”

I looked down at the back of her head as she briefly explained this and that.

“Okay. Wife.”

“What, what?”

“Joke.”

“Oh really! Don’t make weird jokes! Do you want to die?!”

Whoever you are, if you marry Dimona, you will be taken care of for the rest of your life.

Unlike this side, which was slowly getting ready to leave, Rosemary was sitting in her office like a half-corpse of hers. Since her pride was cracked, her heretic inquisitors who followed her subtly avoided Rosemary.

Her skills that supported her high pride were broken, and even her power disappeared, so Rosemary was in a state of half-death.

“Meow.”

“…….”

“What are you doing?”

I went to see her. She’s leaving with me, so I can’t let her die.

It’s also my pet!

She glanced at me. Her eyes were out of focus.

Her head fell as it was.

“…Myong.”

“……”

It’s pitiful.

I met her gaze with her away from her.

“Are you upset?”

“……”

“To be honest, it sucks, right? No way. Say it plainly. You have to be honest with your master.”

“……”

“You just want to smash everything, don’t you? But it doesn’t seem like that, so you’re holding back?”

“……”

“You know. Rosemary. I have a question…”

I asked.

“Can you really beat Radatoque?”

“…….”

The focus returned to her bewildered eyes.

“…Just…What did you say?”

“Can you beat Radatorque? Rosemary.”

“Of course… Heh…!”

“I couldn’t win.”

Lada Talk also failed to transform. Hadn’t he seen it inside Bagness? All he could do was simply radiate holy power.

The reason Rosemary was treated similarly to Radha Talk in the first place was because in most cases she could transform her shape.

But what if he can’t transmog…

The skill itself is probably far worse than Radatoque.

“You want to win, so you want to compete every day? But the truth is, you didn’t really want to stick around, did you?”

“Shut up… Shut up…”

“You were afraid that you would lose if you actually competed, right? That’s why it’s more sharp. Because you’re weak, you can see all the claws being raised, so why are you lying?”

“That mouth…Shut up…!”

“Oops. My prediction was correct.”

I laughed.

“Having been in this interrogation house much longer than Radha Talk, he was afraid that he would be found out as incompetent. Isn’t it?”

“Shut up!”

The fist flew. But I turned my head to the side to avoid it.

A gust of wind blew in. The windows shook.

The skin on the cheek cracked slightly. I wiped the dripping blood with my hand.

“Do you want to kill me?”

“Dog… you bastard…”

“Okay. It should be fun. Let’s see then… If Rosemary is nice, I’ll give her a prize.”

Paramer search party.

Of all of them, it was clear that only Rosemary could communicate properly. The Paramer search party is usually full of guys who can die, or full of irrational guys who are full of thoughts of making credit.

“If you listen carefully to me during this mission, I will teach you how to be strong. Radatorque, of course, can defeat even me. How is it?”

Rosemary raised her angry eyes and looked at me. I tapped his forehead lightly.

“Answer.”

“…I will kill you. Certainly.”

“Okay. That enthusiasm! I like it. Did you promise?”

Yes, yes.

Is it okay if I act like I’m broken? It’s one of my precious powers.

I scratched at her pride. It left a strong mark that could not be erased.

“Please take good care of me. Rosemary, Heretic Questioner.”

“…Ugh.”

She was the owner of pride who never lost a promise once made.

With this, I won’t get stabbed in her back.

. . .

Before I left, I handed over the 90ml of nectar that I had extracted in advance.

“I may not be able to come back for a while. Isabelle.”

“Okay.”

She let out a sigh as if to let go of someone who was about to die.

“Please come back carefully. Boss.”

“Do you think I will die?”

“It’s not like that… but this time, in particular, it’s like going straight to the grave.”

“I am the one who decides whether it will be a grave or an opportunity.”

I hit Isabelle on the head.

“Make a lot, sell a lot. If the money is not properly in my account, I will hang it upside down.”

“…Poop. Yes.”

I also contacted Martyr. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.

“You are going to die. Priest.”

“Did you hear that already?”

“You have to be faster than anyone to survive on this floor. Birds listen to the daytime words, and I listen to the nighttime words.”

“The forces are still small for such things.”

“Hiding claws. They even dedicate protection money to Scorpion, one of the great powers.”

“Why?”

“Waiting for the Five Pigs to grow up. It is our core fighting force.”

“…Ojo(五爪)? Hectors?”

“Yes.”

“Creating a grandiose name. How are those guys?”

“They are becoming monsters day by day. Now, no matter how many of our kids cling to it, they can’t lay their hands on it. But it’s still not enough.”

Martier grinned.

“Shouldn’t we see the end of what we decided to do? When the priest is the king of the day, I will be the king of the night. They must have a tight grip on the commercial realm of the underworld.”

“That ambition. Very good. As long as we protect each other’s bowls, there’s no reason to touch them.”

“It is also the reason why I follow the priest.”

It didn’t seem necessary to meet Hector’s gang, or the five fathers.

“Tell me to cheer up. Please tell me that when we meet again, we will be a little different.”

“You don’t have to worry. Priest. I hope nothing goes wrong.”

“You know. That I’m not the kind of person who will die anyway.”

Martyr nodded his head.

“I will believe and wait. Priest.”
