The Paladin Owns the Relic

92 – Daytime Shaman (1)

It’s a tricky situation. Even if Paramer was saved, there is no doubt that Dimona disobeyed the order of the church.

Just because the results turned out well doesn’t mean you can avoid taking responsibility for them.

Dimo I shrugged her shoulders calmly.

“Well, I can’t help it. I was determined to come out…”

But I can’t just throw it away like this. How to pay back what you get!

I blocked her way. Finrod Heresy Judge’s eyebrows twitched.

“Come out. Zahard Inquisitor.”

“You remember my insignificant name. It’s an honor. Judge.”

“There is no time for puns. If you don’t get out of here right away, I’ll give you a slaughter.”

The way he looked at me was not good. It’s a face that looks like it’s about to kill someone.

Dimona seemed impressed and grabbed my shoulder.

“Oh, no. Zahard. I understand your feelings, but if you still embrace me here…”

“Your Excellency.”

“Eh?”

Ashbal, who was watching the situation happily, approached. Old Lion of the Empire. Finrod hurriedly knelt at the reputation that he had not lost even though he had retired.

In the first place, the powers of the Empire and the Church are vastly different. It is safe to say that the position of a marquis had almost the power of a cardinal of the church.

“The Finrod Inquisitor greets His Excellency, Marquis of Ashwal Haltz!”

“Nice to meet you. Finrod Heretic Inquisitor.”

Ashwal Haltz winked. I took out the pendant.

Oh my god. Are you sure you want help?

I will use the pendant now.

I have a little regret…

Don’t negotiate.

Is this debt?

You’re just going to hit it!

If the condition is to clean up the situation, wouldn’t it be safe to say it’s a debt? I think it’s true that the Inquisitor also received my help. Besides, being directly involved in the church doesn’t mean that I also take risks, right?

People don’t care!

So?

…Okay. I owe you! That’s Okay?!

Good.

Ashwal smiled at the exchange of body language and eyes.

“Does Inquisitor Dimona have anything else to do?”

“It is a story inside the church.”

“As a comrade who fought together, it is difficult to just watch. Above all, if the heretic judge called by ‘I’ is treated like this, I will use it.”

Finrod flinched.

“What do you mean by calling yourself…?”

“That’s right. I called the Inquisitor of Dimona myself. I forcibly dragged it out that I couldn’t do it. In fact, wasn’t it like a fight with little chance of winning? So I had no choice but to seek help from acquaintances I knew. Dimona Inquisitor was one of them.”

“…Is that true?”

“If you wish, I will stand as a witness for the Holy Trial. Guaranteed in the name of Ashwal Haltz. Or what…”

An old lion intervened in a quarrel between the cats.

“Are you saying that what I am saying is a lie?”

Finrod was broken.

“Oh, no… that… to accompany you as a reference… you have to accompany us to Ain Card…”

“Of course I will go with you. I had to stop by a nearby city to reorganize the army. More than anything else, I have to properly organize the loot piled up behind me.”

The amount of treasure is enough to easily fill ten stagecoaches.

Finrod looked back and swallowed his saliva. He nodded his head as if he couldn’t help it.

“Then, at least once…”

“Are you going to arrest my close friend? If calling is a sin, isn’t it on me? If you want to tie me up, will you tie me up?”

“……”

Finrod nodded his head with frightened eyes.

“…I will serve you with Ain Card. Dimona Heretic Inquisitor. You’d better not think about running away.”

Dimona smiled broadly.

“Can that be? Finrod Heretic Inquisitor.”

Ashwal’s eyes met. He said clearly with his mouth, ‘Would you like to pay off your debt?’

…Ah. Really!

You won’t have to pay it back!

. . .

“I like the wagon. If you look at it this way, the denominations don’t live too badly. Isn’t it? Interrogator?”

“I don’t know.”

“I like how it spreads out. Would it be okay if I put my legs up?”

“Can I?”

Ashwal and I took possession of a wagon. Others also wanted to enter, but Ashbal prevented them.

“Isn’t there something we need to talk about? Interrogator.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“Let’s say this is an old man’s request.”

“Can I decline?”

“If something goes, shouldn’t something come?”

Whew. Done.

“What do you want?”

“It’s simple. The support of the 3rd princess…”

“Dismissed. You look like a thief. How much are you going to eat?”

“Well, I didn’t expect it to work. Then what about the other?”

“What else?”

Ashwal grinned.

“Looking at you earlier, you seem to be friendly with the elves.”

“…Isn’t it?”

“You know that there are currently four candidates fighting for the position of Emperor of the Empire, right? 3 Her Highness was barely able to put her foot on one of them.”

“I just take it off and put it on for some reason.”

“If you take it out, you will surely die, but who will pull it out? Think about it. Has any emperor ever spared her own siblings? After they all became emperors, they subtly treated their blood relatives. The root of rebellion itself has been uprooted.”

What is it?

This country is not normal either.

“So what?”

“The title of Paramere’s savior is definitely good. It can be said that he has definitely obtained political funds by robbing the treasure house this time. It is as if the foundation for building an army and establishing a solid base of support has been completed.”

“Did I do everything?”

“Wasn’t the fact that I saved you a mess with the treasure house?”

“A. The treasure house is much more expensive, but what?”

“Well, it could be. But with my meddling deeply with the Church this time, I think the scales are now tipped in my favor.”

“……”

“I will definitely keep the position of Inquisitor Dimona. With this incident as an excuse, I will be proud that there will be no damage to the 5th Inquisition. How is it?”

“What are you trying to do?”

“Simple.”

Ashwal said.

“Please escort the delegation to open the fairy forest and trade routes. I don’t even want to come back I want you to watch it until you reach the fairy forest. On the way back, you can ask the elves to escort you. Along with Paramer’s savior, if we open the trade route of the Fairy Forest, which is now almost like a stranger, Her Highness’s position as the 3rd princess will be even stronger, so it is a necessary task.”

“No. Hey. You’re too careless. To escort the delegation to the fairy forest?”

It’s obvious that all sorts of obstacles will come in. Not only the prince, but other princes would openly sabotage.

It’s like talking about A-class quests and S-class quests at the forefront!

“Isn’t the exchange rate right?! Besides, when will I go there! I have so many things to do?!”

“Of course, I promise you a suitable reward. If you wish, I will give you your own territory under the name of the empire.”

“No, what we need now is not land…”

…Wait.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Hey. His Excellency Ashwal.”

“…What kind of honorific title?”

“I don’t need the land, but if I want something else…Could you give me that?”

“What do you want?”

“It’s simple.”

Crisis as opportunity. I’m sure it can be used later.

It’s not certain, but you can tell just by looking at the church…

Black companies better resign!

Destroying the Cult of Ra and establishing one of my own might be the way!

“Please grant me one wish later.”

“…What is that?”

“Well, just to give an example…”

I shrugged.

“About the nationalization of a new religion?”

. . .

The hero of Paramere has returned to Aincard. However, the eyes of the Church Headquarters were not good at all.

It’s as if the deserters went to work together and came back. And then to attract outside forces.

After hearing the news, Archbishop Dwayne’s expression was rotten. He looked at Ashwal Halz and offered an example, but his gestures were a bit stiff.

“…Archbishop Dwayne greets His Excellency, Marquis of Ashwal Haltz.”

“Nice to meet you. Archbishop. Long time no see. Cardinal Arpina, how are you?”

“Because of my poor health, I rarely show my body on the frontlines. His Excellency, why did you come to this humble place?”

“Looks like there was a small misunderstanding. Came to solve it Dimona is like my daughter. I called, how can I put you at a disadvantage?”

“…Your Excellency. I really just followed…”

“Don’t worry. Let me clear up the misunderstanding myself.”

I ordered them in advance, but both of them are good at acting. It feels like two foxes are in front of you.

I yawned languidly behind Ashwal Haltz. Dwayne’s eyes met.

The already firm expression rotted away as soon as our eyes met.

“…You’ve changed a lot since I didn’t know. Zahard Inquisitor.”

Yes.

I am the one you tossed with your limbs.

And it’s me who came back intact! This word has become even stronger!

I smiled.

“It’s been a while. Archbishop. It looks like your face is very damaged. Did you pick up anything bad?”

“…Now what?”

“Oops. Mistake. I’m confused about the example since I’ve been stuck in Paramer for a while. Can you understand? Because Archbishop Dwayne’s heart is as wide as the open sea. I think at least one word of my words will be lost in fondness and not be seen. Pretend you didn’t hear by the way…”

The corner of his mouth lifted up.

“Do you think it would be better to start with the Holy Trial? I’m worried that His Excellency is busy with construction, so he won’t have time to waste.”

“…Dare you…!”

“You are right. Inquisitor. I’m a bit busy. After all, the only one who understands my feelings is the Inquisitor?”

“hahahaha. It was nothing.”

After a light chat, Archbishop Dwayne’s expression darkened.

So what?

What if your face rots?

What can you do other than crumple your face? f*ck you.

After me, the Marquis of Ashwal Haltz! There are nobility in the empire. That’s what I mean!
