Episode 268
“this… … .”
It became a face that said the feed had committed it… Maxim’s face next to him also became embarrassed.
I saw Mir’s face rapidly turning pale.
“What do we do? The tribe people died and disappeared? Then father-.”
“Hey, calm down. “Just calm down first.”
I tapped Mir on the shoulder and tried to calm him down.
Of course, I know it’s not easy.
I’ve heard that beyond his family, his entire life has been swept away by the cult. If he keeps his composure, he’s probably even more of a weirdo.
However, you still have to be cool-headed.
This is because Mir Giant is no longer an apprentice hero, Youngdo, but a full-fledged hero.
“… … .”
Mir took a deep breath with a drawn face. It seems like he is trying to calm himself down somehow.
He’s an amazing guy.
I said, looking at the feed before Mir went crazy again.
“This is my first time hearing about the Frostwolf clan… “I think it’s a tribe of warriors in name only, is that correct?”
“okay.”
“Are you saying that the giant warrior tribe suffered such devastating damage?”
I was a little puzzled.
The giants are the best among the seven races in terms of physical ability. This would certainly be the case, if we exclude the Balaur tribe, who are virtually extinct.
Giants do not stop growing even when they reach adulthood, and their physiques continue to grow in proportion to their physical strength… … .
For this reason, the giants, who are considered excellent warriors, are well over 10 meters in size. It is truly a walking siege weapon.
The giant warrior tribe is equipped with at least dozens of such monstrous warriors.
Even if it is a strong religious faction, it is normal not to be hasty in touching it.
‘in other words… … .’
Are you saying that the church members who are planning something in the North this time are not ordinary people?
“That’s why this mission is Class A. The [Frost Wolf Tribe] are brave enough to be counted among the five giants. Those people suffered a crushing defeat, and I don’t even know how they suffered. but… … .”
“but?”
“The sound of clanking metal. And then I heard the sound of a bell.”
“… … .”
What crossed my mind at that moment was my second sister-in-law.
This is because, in addition to the sound of the bell, there was a unique sound that was heard every time the wire was folded and unfolded.
When I was silent due to an unexpected thought, Mir opened his mouth.
“Take me too, no. Please take me too.”
Feed’s eyes turned to Mir.
“You are making a rude request. The person in charge of this mission is me. Of course, it’s me who decides who to elect.”
At once, the voice rang out loudly, and a breeze blew around the feed, causing the hem of the clothes to flutter.
Mir trembled, but I didn’t really stop the feed or mediate between the two.
This is because I realized that the feed was trying to test Mir in its own way.
The feed’s eyes turned to me.
“Luan Badniker here is a B-level hero, and in fact, he is above A-level. He had consecutive wins against several A-level heroes, and even dealt a blow to me in sparring. If this guy asks me to join, I will gladly accept. Because it has already been proven.”
“… … ”
“But what did you show me?”
The feed’s gaze gradually became colder, and an intangible force pressed down hard on Mir’s shoulders.
“What I know about you is that you just became a hero, that you are a giant, and that you lost your mind when you heard the news about your current tribe. Just these three. There is no reason to hire all three. If it were the other way around, it would be enough.”
“I.”
Mir chewed his lips.
A fever swirled from the golden eyes that were revealed for a moment, driving away the momentum of the feed.
I was silently amazed.
“… This is something I need to know. And this is what needs to be done. As a member of the Frostwolf clan and a giant warrior… Please give me a chance to restore my honor. please.”
Mir lowered his head, hiding his anger, but Pyd, who was looking down at the top of his head, sighed.
“It is not possible to rely solely on courage, young giant warrior. You also proved yourself by becoming an official hero at that age, but you still have to continue to prove yourself. “It means this is not the time to risk your life.”
“I was an inferior child.”
“… … .”
“I was too small to be considered a giant, so no one considered me a warrior.”
Mir’s shoulders trembled slightly as he lowered his head.
“I didn’t like it, so I left the tribe. She ran away. But that doesn’t mean I’ve erased her hometown from my mind.”
“… … .”
“For me, the tribe is a place I have to return to someday. I have to prove myself to my family, my tribe, my people. But if they all die… … .”
The strained voice was slightly watery.
“Who do I have to prove myself to now?”
“… … .”
The feed closed its mouth.
I looked at Mir with my arms crossed.
Strangely enough, Mir seemed to have a tendency to have a smooth tongue in these situations.
I feel like I’m like a different person.
Usually he speaks in a stupid way and makes facial expressions, but sometimes he shows a sharp look like an animal… … .
I still felt like I didn’t know much about this guy.

‘This onion-like guy.’
Actually, that’s why I liked Mir.
“Please allow it, senior. “I will take full charge of this guy.”
“what? That means… … .”
“yes.”
I nodded.
“I will participate in this mission.”
* * *
“… For now, that’s how the story went. Sorry. “I even entrusted you with the selection of B-class missions.”
“aha.”
Berita nodded as if it didn’t matter at all and even smiled.
“It’s okay, brother. “My role is to do chores and give advice.”
Then put your hands together and take a praying posture.
“If you have made up your own mind and decided on a destination, I can only help you on your journey. “I have no intention of interfering or getting involved.”
“… hmm.”
When it came out like this, I had nothing to say.
I think it would be easier to respond if you openly show your disappointment or get angry.
I felt awkward for no reason, so I scratched my chin and pointed to the papers piled up next to Verita.
“But what are all those things?”
“ah. It’s no big deal. “I just compared and organized the six missions from yesterday.”
“Comparison… … ?”
“yes. The pros and cons of performing each mission, additional factors, other things to consider, location, and the impact you will face after the mission is successful or failed… … . And although there is no hard evidence, I wrote down the points that personally bother me.”
“… “Did you stay up all night?”
“For an Inquisitor, the vigil is an old friend.”
“… … .”
Is this sarcastic?
Based on what I understand of Verita’s personality, there is a high probability that this is not the case.
I sighed and took out the items I had prepared.
“great job. “At least eat this.”
“yes?”
It was a special cookie that had been brought in directly from the De Marlin refreshment shop.
When I went to downtown Tefer, I bought it as a bribe to give to Lise, but I had to put out the more urgent fire first.
“If you use your brain a lot, you should eat something sweet.”
“Are you giving it to me?”
“Then who else is here besides you?”
“Well, I see.”
I looked at Verita who had received the cookie with a confused look on her face. For some reason, I thought that this was my first time seeing such a dumbfounded face.
“anyway… … .”
I pretended to skim through documents and expanded my senses to check my surroundings.
That’s because I’m planning to start talking about something a bit sensitive from now on.
First of all, there was no sign of anyone around.
“… “I heard that this act was done by the Golden Horns.”
“… … .”
“Hey, Lazbet?”
“ah. yes.”
Verita, who had been looking at the cookies in fascination, suddenly came to her senses.
“Do you know anything?”
“hmm.”
Berita carefully packed the cookies in her arms, then cleared her throat awkwardly and said,
“… They are the most vicious and impulsive people in the church. These people are far from systematic planning. Although they have strong combat power, they have no stealth, so they are the faction that clashes most frequently with the Empire and gets caught. However, in name and reality, they are the ones causing the greatest damage to the empire. Internally, we call them [Spears of the Church].”
“It’s a window… … .”
If Haden Eihar is a hidden dagger, does that mean they are an exposed threat? Of course, this means that it is true among denominations.
First of all, up to this point, I can say even as Razbet, a monk of the 72 religions and heresy inquisitor… … .
What I was really curious about was the information that Verita, a colorless believer, would know.
Verita seemed to sense my intention, lowering her tone even further.
“Recently… “I heard that the Golden Horn is preparing to summon the [Legion Commander].”
“Commander of the Corps.”
What naturally came to mind was Kajitta, whom I met in the other side of the world. For a devil, she had a strange way of speaking and personality.
But that strength was real.
To put it bluntly, the fact that I won then was almost a miracle. A miracle that was possible because several factors came together.
In the first place, it wasn’t a normal summon and could only use a small portion of its original power.
I had the advantage because I was the one who controlled flames.
On the way, the great brother even gave me the Yin Yang Dao.
What kind of disaster would happen if such a corps commander were summoned to this world in perfect condition?
I couldn’t imagine it.
But Verita then said something even more shocking.
“Maybe the summoning has already been successful.”
“Is that possible? “Summoning a demon inevitably involves many sacrifices.”
“yes. Therefore, the north is the best place for the denomination to flourish. There is a disconnect between tribes, which slows down the transfer of information. “If there is no interaction at all, a tribe may disappear and we may not even know about it even after several years.”
“ah.”
“Isn’t this a good place for new factions like the Golden Horn to flourish?”
This means that the person who eliminated the Frost Wolf tribe could have been the already summoned commander.
‘This might be a much more dangerous situation than I thought.’
Verita said, looking at me slightly stiff.
“Then, brother, you have accepted the mission.”
“That’s it.”
“Then, you have to report it to the clan first, but I don’t think they will easily allow it if your first mission is A-level… … .”
Berita thought for a moment and then said.
“Let’s go together for now.”
I headed to where Lanfero was with Verita.
Is it because they are of a different race?
Lanferro and Ramon did not stay in Heros, even though they probably deserved it, but instead stayed at an inn outside.
no.
Can we call this an inn?
“… “Can you sleep in a place like this?”
“How cozy.”
“It looks like a stable that’s all falling apart.”
“I heard they remodeled the stables.”
“The ceiling is half open.”
“The view was nice.”
“I see a rat over there.”
“They’re good guys.”
Lanfero nodded and said.
I don’t know if it’s a joke or serious.
“Anyway, I understand the story. Coincidentally, it coincides with our departure date. What are you going to do?”
“yes?”
“I was thinking about coming to our branch and having a ‘welcome party,’ but I thought I was going to carry out that mission right away.”
“Hmm.”
“Well, the party is a joke. “There is something I need to do at our Corrupted branch.”
“Are there any remaining procedures?”
“that’s right. And honestly, I don’t feel comfortable sending you two on an A-level mission.”
“yes?”
“In general, the survival rate of B-level or lower heroes in A-level missions is generally 70%. “If ten people go, three will return to Songjang.”
And when he saw us, he scratched his cheek.
“Well, neither of you are at B-level level.”
“… … .”
“Still, we’re cute new recruits who just joined the team, so I’m worried. This is it. “We can’t go together.”
“ah. “I mean that.”
I told Lanferro what I heard from the feed yesterday.
So, the news is that for the time being, it is unlikely that other clans will face unreasonably severe discrimination and persecution.
“Really?”
Ramon asked with a trembling voice.
Lanfero didn’t make a sound either, but he seemed quite embarrassed.
I added slightly because they both seemed so surprised.
“You may say this, but you don’t know what’s inside. There is no way the ongoing persecution will stop in just a day or two. Those who were just blatantly manipulative have come to think a little differently… … . “I think it would be better to accept it like this.”
“no. That much is enough.”
Lanfero said in a heated voice.
“Then it is decided. “This will be our Corrupted’s glorious first outing.”
“yes?”
“I don’t know about you, Luan.”
Lanfero laughed evilly and said.
“… “Just because we don’t have track records doesn’t mean we don’t have skills.”
