293. Justitia (5)
The Volanta tribe’s hunt that Owen participated in that day ended with unprecedented success.
This is because herds of buffalo and antelopes have returned to the grasslands where the fierce seawater and Nurmachi have completely disappeared.
“The hunting grounds of our ancestors have come back to life!”
“Let’s toast together to Owen, the warrior who kept his promise to expand Volanta’s horizons!”
Hustle and bustle.
In front of the abundant fruits, the entire tribe was filled with joy and raised a toast.
However, Owen, who was at the center of it all, could not completely blend into the atmosphere. This was because a small quest window had suddenly popped up in front of his eyes earlier, obstructing his view.
[Surprise Quest – Preparation for tomorrow.]
[Quest Grade: F]
[You have successfully completed a tiring day’s schedule. How about this? In the busy pace of daily life, have you perhaps forgotten how to relax in life? Well, now is the time to take a breather. How about going back to bed early today and taking the time to reorganize your body and mind for tomorrow?]
[Reward: 30 P Cash]
[*This product is available in the Pangea Chronicle store window.]
Is the person who took away my leisure from life suddenly ordering me to reorganize? And it’s not even 300, it’s only 30 cash?
‘The compensation is too salty!’
Owen, who was in the midst of the excitement of hunting, simply closed the window. Rather than returning home with this much reward in mind, he would rather have strengthened his friendship with the people of Volanta.
“A lot of this meat and skin is yours, Owen! I’m really worried about the way back. “I have seen many imperialists over the years, but you are truly the first time I have met a hunter as good as a Barsha warrior!”
“There is no need to worry, Chikutarku. As a token of my friendship with Volanta, I am willing to share my share with my friends.”
“ha ha ha! How exciting! Now, hurry up and get this drink!”
Owen smiled brightly as he accepted the drink personally handed to him by Chief Chikutarku.
However, the toast did not last very long. This is because a new quest window suddenly appeared before his eyes again.
[Surprise Quest – Comfort your subordinates!]
[Quest Grade: E]
[Your sweat as you do your best every day for peace is beautiful. But behind you, there is hidden the hard work of your subordinates who support and care about you. Are you so focused on achieving results that you are forgetting those who are precious to you? How about going back to work early today, at least to comfort and encourage them? Your reputation will increase further.]
[Reward: 50 P Cash]
[*This product is available in the Pangea Chronicle store window.]
Owen furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
‘… reputation?’
No, did Sang Tae-chang have a good time today? Why are you suddenly worried about my reputation when you never used to be?
Anyway, Owen hesitated for a moment.
Even 50 cash is a shame now. Moreover, when Sang Sang-chang is this persistent, in my experience, there is usually a reason.
‘I’ve roughly stamped my eyes with the elders, should I go back now…’ … .’
It was when I was thinking about that.
“Owe-n!”
Suddenly, a thick arm wrapped itself around Owen’s neck. It was Chikudanka who was heavily intoxicated with horse liquor.
“What are you doing here now? There was a wrestling match in full swing, so why should Barça’s best wrestler be left out? Come on, let’s go!”
“Oh yeah. “That’s how it should be!”
that’s right. The festival has just begun, so does it make sense to leave now?
Thinking like that, Owen roughly pushed the spear away and walked towards the wrestling ring with Chikudanka.
But that was right then.
Beep beep!
Suddenly, an eerie warning sound rang in my ears, and a red text appeared before my eyes.
[warning! – Quest failure penalty]
[I am very sorry. If you can’t understand something when you say it in a good way, you have no choice but to experience the results yourself. I wish you good luck.]
[Result: 70% reduction in total acquired P Cash for the next month.]
[*This product can be used in the Pangea Chronicle store window, but it is very doubtful whether cash will be collected properly in the future.]
“… 100 million!”
It was the sound of sobering up.
We are already suffering from a serious cash shortage, so what are you going to do if 70% of the acquired cash is taken away?
“I’m sorry, Chikudanka! “I forgot something, so I guess I’ll have to head back for today!”
Owen hurriedly said hello to the people of Volanta and soon began riding toward the camp. He was in such a hurry that he didn’t even get his share of the game.
‘No, Sang Tae-chang! You can say it with nice words. ‘Why would you threaten someone so cruelly?’
As Owen gritted his teeth and spurred on, a small text popped into his mind as if teasing him.
[It is a day to engrave in our hearts the old adage that a beating is better than a reward for a misbehaving child.]
ah! Stop being sarcastic, Sang Tae-chang!
I did everything wrong!
But when he came back in such a hurry, an unexpected guest was waiting for Owen.
“Lowering! “Why are you so late?”
As he enters the barracks, leaving Alicia behind, a familiar figure greets him and stands up.
A long robe that wraps around the loose body, and a thick hood that completely covers the face.
“… “Priest Bart?”
The high priest, who was said to be sick and unable to go out often, looked at Owen and nodded slowly.
“… … .”
Soon, a foreign language was heard in a soft tone, and the attendant standing next to him spoke in place of Priest Bart.
“I thought we almost missed each other, and now I think it would be better to go a little early.” “The priest speaks.”
As a high priest, Bart always had one of these attendants with him.
His role was mainly to support him or interpret for him, but this was because Bart, from Ortona, could not speak the imperial language properly.
It was a bit surprising that a high-ranking priest could not speak the imperial language when masses across the entire continent were held in the imperial language.

“Ah, I’m a little late today because I have an important event. “If he had known the priest would come, he would have returned sooner.”
Then Priest Bart silently nods his head.
Although he can’t speak the imperial language, he still seems to understand simple words.
‘Phew… … .’
Owen sighed inwardly.
If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to Sang Tae-chang a long time ago. If he had known that this sickly man would wait until late on purpose for him, he would have come running in the middle of the hunt.
Hey, look at the poor auror activity, like a dying person.
[It’s no use pretending to regret things that are now in the past. The behavior you show today will have a huge impact on determining future quests and rewards.]
Sang Sang-chang, who has a bad personality, said sarcastically.
Yes, yes, I was wrong.
“Now, please don’t just stand here, please take a seat, Father Bart. “It’s hard, but don’t overdo it.”
Anyway, Owen was happy and took long strides toward the priest. Then he grabbed his shoulder and tried to make him sit back down.
This was something Owen didn’t usually do, but it happened because his mind was strangely relaxed now. This may have been because he was intoxicated with horse oil and also because he was grateful that Priest Bart had waited for him on purpose.
But the moment Owen’s hand touched-
“… … !”
Priest Bart’s body suddenly felt stiff with tension.
“… … ?”
And Owen, too, was startled as he felt a creepy recoil from somewhere.
‘Why do people weigh so much?’
A feeling of discomfort that can be clearly felt even when you just gently push your body. Doesn’t this make the person feel so light that their body is completely empty?
Even making a scarecrow out of hollow sugar cane would have been better than this.
“… What is this? “Even if it’s hard, eat well.”
But Owen didn’t have any doubts about him.
I heard that he was very sick, and this is the same Bart priest I have been seeing for several years.
Moreover, for some reason, there was a part of Priest Bart that reminded him of his godfather. Even though it seems strange to me to connect him, the strongest man on the continent, with the sickly man.
A person similar to your father could never be a bad person, right?
“… … .”
Tuk-tuk.
As I sat him down and carefully dusted his shoulders, Priest Bart, who had been frozen for a moment, slowly relaxed his body. Soon a small sigh is heard from inside his thick hood.
And the unfamiliar Ortona language is softly recited.
“I am the first prince of the Holy Empire Delcross. He always had the awareness that he was in a noble position, and it was right for him to be careful and be on guard in everything he was around. “The priest speaks.”
At the attendant’s words, Owen tilted his head back and smiled brightly.
“Hahaha, Priest Bart. You don’t have to worry about such things! Even though it’s like this, I’m being careful not to disturb my father! Moreover, if people do not show faith to others first, how can they live properly in this world?”
Hwiik-
At that time, the priest’s hand stretched out in front of Owen like lightning. The speed was so incredible that even Owen, who prides himself on being a fairly strong Auror user, missed the movement for a moment!
“… … ?!”
I winced.
However, the hand that stopped for a moment in front of his eyes soon slowed down and landed gently on Owen’s forehead.
“Uh, lungs… “The priest says he will bestow God’s blessings on the prince.”
At the same time as the dazed attendant spoke, a familiar divine power poured out from the hand that touched the forehead.
As always, it was a miracle-like, tremendous divine power that made fatigue and hangovers go away at once.
However, Owen internally tilted his head as he received Priest Bart’s blessing.
‘what? Did I see it wrong? At first, I thought there was a chestnut flying at my head… … .’
Hey, it must be my mood.
How could it be possible for Priest Bart, who is like a living saint, to throw a chestnut at the prince’s forehead?
* * *
That evening, Owen accessed the Pangea Chronicle slower than usual. And he faced newbies and silent villains who welcomed him as always.
[Hey everyone!]
At the cheerful greeting, the silent villains and the small goat turn their heads at the same time.
[Owen! Containing welcome!]
[You’re a little late today, but you’re here at the right time, Owen.]
It was right then.
“Look at that! “They are the devil-possessed sheep and their gang!”
“That guy destroyed two intact guilds on the spot, right? “Who are you planning to sacrifice again this time?”
“Hey, let’s avoid it! No matter how you look at it, that’s not the color of a normal person’s eyes.”
As soon as the gaze of the small goat reached them, the users at the meeting point trembled and hurriedly left the place.
Wow, they are such unsophisticated bastards. To me, it’s just cute, but why are they making such a fuss?
“Hello, newbie!”
For the sake of the poor newbie who was being misunderstood, Owen gave a firm greeting in Imperial once more.
OK-
“Uh huh.”
The mountain goat answered sullenly and turned its head away.
Wow, my friend is more blunt than he looks.
“Come on, sit down. “We were having a meeting about the dungeon we were going to next, but because you were late, we couldn’t talk about something important.”
And then the words continue as if thrown out.
‘It’s not very polite to say I waited.’
But look, he’s not a good guy after all.
Owen smiled brightly as he looked at the baby goat who had become the leader of the team despite being a newbie.
