Chapter 142
Each of them had a magic beast in hand, and the private army returned .
Most of the packs of magic beasts had retreated deep into the mountains .
I heard that there were fears that the damage from the magic beasts would hinder the recovery of distribution in the future, but I heard that they didn’t have to worry about that .
As long as you have an escort, you should be able to travel to other cities as long as it’s not a rare occurrence .
The troops that had been divided into three groups in front of the village assembled and gathered before entering the village .
They lined up at the entrance, and Euris announced a temporary dismissal .
The troops who were still nervous let out a big sigh and rejoiced in each other’s safety .
“I’m really, really sorry for everything,”
After the dismissal, Euris was the first to come to me .
“If it wasn’t for you, my lord’s private army might have been wiped out . If that had happened now, this territory would have been……”
Euris face turned pale and her words were slurred .
It was in a tone of voice that was horrible to say .
“Yes, yes! You’re our hero! What, are you a famous magician in the city by any chance?”
The big man, Dante, overheard the conversation between me and Euris and came closer .
He’s a tough guy, but a pleasant guy .
“Well, I’m from a rural minority……”
“I bet you could take down that bastard Icarus, couldn’t you? Right? Right!”
Icarus…… hey .
I’d like to know the size of Icarus’ faction and how cohesive it is .
It doesn’t seem to be someone that can be dealt with by hitting them directly .
“…… Be careful how you put it . We better not be antagonistic to Icarus-dono . All I can say from our standpoint is that we need to work together a bit more . ”
Euris glares at Dante .
“Yes, that’s right…… but it really pisses me off . ”
…… From what I heard, he’s an opponent even the lord can’t keep his head up .
Looking at the state of Euris, there may be people from Icarus’ side mixed in with the private army as well .
It’s going to be quite painful to bring their authority down .
I and Mea parted from the private army’s members and decided to return to the lord’s mansion .
After this, each unit leader will report to Lark and discuss the prey in hand .
After that is done, they will gather the private army again, processing and storage .
He said that with this amount, he would have to ask the residents for help .
However, I was already exhausted (mainly by transportation), so I asked to let us rest in the lord’s mansion as is .
Besides, I want to check on the condition of the Hamelin I got earlier .
It’s a rare demon, after all .
There are many things I want to investigate .
And if things go well, we may be able to determine the spirit user who used Hamelin to attack the private army .
“…… Abel, is your leg okay?”
“I feel like today is the most I’ve walked since I was born…… I’ve been taking breaks and riding the Ortem, so well, I guess I’ll just need to take three days off and I’ll be back to full strength……”
The sunlight was terrible too .
I thought about using sorcery to collect clouds, but I couldn’t stop the queue, and that sorcery can cause the climate to collapse and cause a lot of trouble if it’s done without a plan .
I think it’s fine because we were just in trouble from the drought, but it is said that the magic that manipulates the weather can also trigger a war if done poorly .

…… We have to listen to our lord and the high magician who has been here for more than six months .
The Dinrat Kingdom must have had such a national law .
“Oh, it looks more serious than I thought…… Mea will give you a massage again!”
“I seriously request . ”
It was a different entrance than when we left, so this was the first time we were taking the road, but I already heard from Euris about the way to the lord’s house .
It wasn’t so complicated, so you won’t get lost .
“Hmm, that…… . . is there something being built?”
Mea’s voice caught my attention, and I turned my head to look past her gaze .
A short distance away, there was a building under construction .
It was one size larger than the other houses .
It was taller, but it didn’t appear to be two stories .
More than a dozen men were coming in and out of the building, working on it .
I saw a young man approaching there .
A familiar blue robe, a thick scripture that could serve as a blunt instrument .
A good-looking, snappy sink-eye .
He was Ringus, a missionary of the Water God .
One of the men noticed him, stopped his work, and ran over to him .
“Ringus-san! What do you think? It’s starting to take shape, isn’t it?”
“Oh, wonderful…… I can feel your faith and passion just by looking at it . ”

Ringus touched a hand to the wall, caressing it affectionately .
“Ehhehehe . I’m honored to have you compliment me, Ringus-san! I’ll tell everyone about it . ”
The man seems embarrassed and replies, scratching his head .
“Thank you . Building a church in another country has been one of my dreams since I was a child…… so I’m really glad to have met you guys……”
“No, no! There’s no need to thank me for that! It was us rather who were saved! I wish more of the other guys would listen to Ringus-san…… because we’re all here with that in mind!”
“If my words can help you…… I will be more than happy to do so . I had some uncertainties…… but I am so glad I came to this place . The words of the Water God are just as he said . ‘Mix it up, but it’s muddy, the source is the same . ”
A church of the water god Levi will be built?
The state religion of the Kingdom of Dinrat, Kudor, is kind to pagans, except for some…… I don’t think it’s a problem because I’m not interested in it……
“There was a bit of concern, but that has been taken care of as well……”
“Concern? Did something happen?”
“Oh, nono, it’s nothing . ”
Ringus quickly smiled, then turned himself towards me .
Our eyes met .
At that moment, Ringus stopped moving and his expression froze .
“W-why…what is, what is going on? You were supposed to take part on that……”
Ringus kneels in place and holds his mouth in his hand .
“Ringus-san? Ringus-san, are you okay? Hey, somebody get me some water! Ringus-san looks so pale!”

The man panicked and gave orders to the others who were working .
I wondered if he saw something strange .
I turned around to check behind me, but there was nothing of interest .
“Abel, is something wrong?”
“Well, no…… Right now I just want to lie down and sleep somewhere out of the sun . ”
I turned my body around and tried to move my stopped feet forward again .
“Damn!”
I heard Ringus barking and the sound of dull blows, and I couldn’t help but turn around again .
Ringus had clenched his fists and was punching the walls of the church under construction .
Was this a dream of his since he was a child?
“Ringus-san? Ringus-san!”
“What, what the hell happened to Ringus-san?”
Construction work had come to a complete halt and there was a huge commotion .
Immediately, Ringus seemed to have returned to his composure, and while he was breathing hard, he bowed his head to those around him, “I’m sorry for losing myself about what I did……”
“What, a fight?”
“…… Didn’t that man just look at Abel?”
I check behind me again, but there’s nothing there .
Looking back, I can’t help but feel like he was looking at Mea and not me .
I just didn’t have the energy to think about anything else, so I decided to head straight for the lord’s mansion .
