How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

Chapter 14

14. If you want to live long

Seaforeo.

The grandeur of the big city made me feel uplifted.

The procession of the huge top seen from the entrance.

People wearing luxurious clothes.

A chapel of a huge church that had been visible from afar.

And… to a royal castle like a mountain that boasts the greatest greatness of Laderun.

It was a scenery enough to make the places I had visited so far feel shabby.

While I was gazing at the panoramic view of Siporeo.

Diaz is back.

“I have prepared a place to stay on the side of the church.”

“Yes, go.”

Being a member of the Seven Knights was a very convenient position.

Unlike other people who take several days to get permission to enter the capital city, entering the capital city is passed in the blink of an eye.

In principle, only priests and paladins were allowed to enter the Archdiocese, and even gave them accommodations.

When I entered the Archdiocese of Siphoreo like that.

I was greeted with treatment beyond what I had ever imagined.

The Holy Knights of the Archdiocese lined up left and right.

The Paladins made a path with their swords pointed.

Behind them, monks in neat attire stood like barriers.

By this time, the welcome ceremony had naturally attracted people.

The sudden appearance of one of the seven knights made the children excited.

Those who walked the path of the sword looked with envy.

respect and awe.

This seemed to be the true majesty of the Seven Knights.

‘I don’t need to be this grand…’

I had no intention of staying here for a few days anyway.

Deliver Bishop Heint’s letter and confirm the existence of the Paladin character.

Those two things will be over really soon.

The only element that would take time was, of course, the Black Thunder Ring…

‘Was it on the side of the forgotten temple?’

Siporeo was a land where civilizations blossomed from a very long time ago.

Thanks to this, mysterious ancient artifacts have often been excavated here.

The Black Thunder Ring I was looking for was also among the ancient artifacts discovered.

In the case of some ancient artifacts, there were also some that gave an effect comparable to that of a unique skill.

In addition, when you actually acquire a skill, there are cases where it is much more useful than the effect shown in the game.

Acquiring a unique skill is the biggest factor in upgrading my specs, but I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pack valuable items if I had the opportunity.

‘I’ll still be there. Because no one said they couldn’t touch it.’

If that worked well, it wouldn’t take too long.

while thinking about it.

Before I knew it, I reached the central parish of the Archdiocese.

“Welcome to the Archdiocese of Siporeo. Brother of the Great Knights. Sister of the Holy Knights.”

An old man with gray hair came out in front of the main hall and greeted Diaz.

The old man stood with his back to the sun, dressed in pure white, as if he were shining.

Neat, old-fashioned attire, and the knights with bloody eyes surrounding him.

Judging from those things, it was probably a priest of a fairly high position.

“I am the Archbishop of Thevenon of the Archdiocese of Siphoreo.”

Diaz greeted me politely instead of me.

“The shield of the Church, the follower of the Holy Knights, and the noble guardian of the Church.”

“You’ve had a lot of trouble coming this far.”

“Thank you for your congratulations. This is Sir Rohan, who has been newly crowned as one of the seven knights.”

“Nice to meet you.”

I greeted him by holding his hand.

The Archbishop of Thevenon greeted us with a bright smile.

“Okay. So, let’s keep our manners up to this point. Hurry up and eat inside. Soup and bread have been prepared. I hope you can relax from your travels.”

The main hall he followed into was filled with good quality food.

gulp.

I swallowed quietly.

Thanks to the pretext of being a member of the Seven Knights, I was not treated with disrespect, but…

I’ve never seen food like this.

And even the wine that gleams purple like jewels…!

It’s been a long way since then, but…

‘I should rest for a day or so.’

Wouldn’t a short rest be helpful for the future journey?

Today, I decided to give myself a break.

Before the banquet was over, the Archbishop of Thevenon moved away first.

I thought that it would be better to have a meal and rest comfortably without being confident than having one.

By the way.

Just before leaving the main hall, he received a letter from Rohan.

However, the pattern stamped on the sealing wax of the letter.

‘Vicar Straun?’

It was clearly the seal of Bishop Heint.

The Archbishop of Thevenon also knew the Archbishop of Heint well.

He was of the same generation as the Archbishop of Thevenon.

Although the fields of activity were slightly different.

At the time, the Bishop of Heint was the best swordsman of the church, the Heretic Inquisitor, who only focused on exterminating demons.

If the Holy Knights were the shield of the Order, the Heretic Inquisitor was the sword of the Order.

Among them, the one who rose to a legendary position was the parish priest of Heint.

Even before the Archbishop of Thevenon became the archbishop, he had already blown his reputation, so he was also a respected church member.

The Archbishop of Thevenon was very curious about the contents of such a letter from the Diocese of Heint.

He went straight to the office.

And the Archbishop of Thevenon, who opened the letter… froze as it were.

“haha……”

smart.

The time when the Archbishop of Thevenon was in a daze for a moment.

Knocking, the vicar general entered.

“Bishop Thevenon. Didn’t we talk the other day? There’s something new about the underground noise… Hmm? What’s up?”

The Bishop of Thevenon looked at him once and handed over the letter in his hand.

“What is this?”

The vicar general of the parish accepted it with a tilt of his head.

But he too soon took on the same face as the Bishop of Thevenon.

“Bishop Heint… is stepping down from the position of Heretic Inquisitor.”

“Yes. I feel like I have mixed feelings. He was also the spiritual support of the church.”

“Yes. If Bishop Heinte held the center, there was nothing to be afraid of.”

“Don’t you understand? He’s old too. Just looking at us right now, he’s old.”

“Ha ha. Old is old.”

The Vicar General read the last part of the letter.

“So… you chose Lord Rohan as your new successor?”

“Hmm. I’m a little embarrassed about that too.”

“There has never been a case like this before.”

The Archbishop of Thevenon nodded.

The Seven Knights and the Holy Knights of the Order had a long-standing relationship like brothers.

However, there has never been a single knight in the history of the Seven Knights who held a position within the Order.

The person who dared to become a member of the Seven Knights was not greedy, and there was no way to do it.

But what if this happens?

It was something that a real mogul might be born.

It encompasses the Order of Arlem and the Seven Knights.

Besides, isn’t it Bishop Heint’s recommendation?

It was a fact that everyone in the church already knew that Bishop Heint’s eyes were high.

“By the way, Bishop Heint has also made a big decision. Considering that he sent this to us.”

“Why not?”

Even within the church, only one person can be newly appointed in each archdiocese.

It meant that if the Archdiocese of Shiporeo accepted Rohan’s supremacy, they would no longer be able to appoint another heretic inquisitor.

It was as if Bishop Heint was indebted to the Archdiocese of Ciphoreo.

“Nevertheless, the fact that Bishop Heint made this decision, doesn’t it mean that Lord Rohan has talent?”

“It’s the same idea. So, will you accept it? Archbishop.”

Of course, the Archdiocese of Siphoreo could have officially refused.

However.

The Archbishop of Thevenon had no such intention.

‘There are many places that want to build friendships with Bishop Heint. Even if you reject it, it will surely be accepted somewhere. It wouldn’t be bad to accept now that they look favorably on us.’

Moreover, this could be Rohan’s last chance to make connections before he becomes a real mogul.

The Archbishop of Thevenon finished his thoughts.

“Agent General.”

“Yes. Archbishop.”

“Please summon all the bishops and above in the Archdiocese immediately. We will continue to talk about the underground noise there.”

next day.

I slept comfortably for the first time in a while, and woke up feeling refreshed.

And right away, Diaz was ready to move.

“I’m going out for a while, so get ready.”

“Yes.”

Diaz immediately followed without asking me where I was headed.

So we went outside the walls of Siporeo.

Although Ciphoreo is a large city, the area outside the walls was still overgrown with trees.

Even if you go a little deep, the sunlight is blocked and it feels dark.

I made my way through the bush.

The forgotten temple was a place that was not displayed on the map even in the original work.

Therefore, in order to find the place, it was necessary to find a way using landmarks as landmarks.

‘It was annoying at the time, but I never thought it would be so helpful.’

Thanks to that, I’ve been looking for a direction pretty smoothly now.

Past this rock to the right, and forward through that tree.

Even though it’s quite an old memory, it reminded me of alcohol more than I thought.

and at the end.

“I found it.”

At last, the entrance to the forgotten temple was revealed.

True to its name, however, the entrance to the Forgotten Temple was not a normal door.

It was a small hole that fell into the floor.

I approached the hole.

When the dirt floor was gently kicked away, an artificial structure was revealed.

I remember that this was probably the hallway ceiling.

There must be a separate entrance, but since it didn’t appear in the original work, I had no way of knowing.

what about it though

You just have to find it.

I gave Diaz a brief warning.

“The bottom is deep, so be careful.”

“Yes, I understand.

After that, I jumped first.

A fairly deep pit greeted me.

Whoops.

The wind passed by my ears.

If it had been before, I wouldn’t have jumped at this height.

Now I had the left arm of the Colossus.

I extended my left arm to absorb the shock.

Whoops!

The strong left arm took all the fall damage.

‘It’s good. Now, let’s look around slowly…’

That moment.

window! conductor! window!

In the darkness, several blades suddenly flew at my neck from all sides.

The first thing to react was the giant god’s left arm.

Almost reflexively, my left arm gripped the nearest blade.

Quick!

broke it

Then other blades stabbed with real blood.

I block the nearby knives with my forearm.

kang! Kakang!

counterattacked immediately.

Whoops!

He threw out his tightly clenched fist.

Shuuk! baek! Shuuk! Aww!

“Ahh!”

“Cheuk?”

It was before my eyes had yet to adjust to the dark.

The third eye was extremely active at the moment, and even in the dark, it was possible to accurately sense the movement of the other person only by sound.

From then on, it was an instant.

With his left arm, he grabbed one of them by the neck to give him strength, and with his right hand, he took out a dagger in the meantime and cut the other guy’s neck open…

“Please stop for a moment, Rohan-nim!”

Diaz’s cry was heard just before that.

tall.

Let my hand stop.

Diaz said to the man held by my left hand.

“Sir Albert… isn’t it?”

“Dia……z?”

what? Are you an ally?

I slowly relaxed my hands.

The opponent let out a harsh cough.

“Cough! Cough! Whoa…”

“Are you okay?”
