Knights, Let’s Smash Them

102 – Inconvenient Daily Life (2)

Catherine Sisela.

The name itself has a strong symbolism, but only two of them are famous worldwide.

One is the Emperor, the representative of the Emperor’s Office.

The other one was the saintess right in front of me.

The Beophwang is a kind of monarch who represents the Beophwangcheong, a pan-national religious institution. He is the head of all churches throughout the world and the de facto manager of the great and the small.

Not to mention a single feudal lord or the king of a small country, even the emperor of an empire acknowledged the authority of the emperor.

But that’s why the status of the emperor can never get close to commoners.

Because he has power by himself, he is the only object of respect.

But the saintess, on the other hand, becomes an object of love, not respect.

A benevolent guardian who takes care of people in the lowest level, beyond the reach of the Emperor.

If the one who reigns and leads is her father, the emperor, the saintess has a motherly symbol that embraces and guides her.

A woman with such religious symbolism is now standing in front of my eyes.

“Meet the saintess.”

I saluted her by bowing her head straight to her. She likewise reciprocates by crossing her last name.

From noble mtl dot com.

“I heard the story from a while ago. As a situation is a situation, it is only natural that you be disappointed with the decision of the Emperor’s Office that is not correct. Since I came instead, I hope that even if I am lacking, you will be relieved.”

‘f*ck, was it filmed?’

Suddenly, the sight of the saintess returning her answer to what she had said a moment ago sent chills down her spine.

I smiled as much as I could and flipped through it.

Honestly, if you’re at the level of a saint, you’re more like a VVIP than Princess Lilia of Hebron.

I thought that a manager-level manpower would definitely come with external support, but suddenly the CEO came.

It’s burdensome.

I’m having trouble figuring out how to deal with it.

After all, shouldn’t I be in charge of this person’s protocol? If, by any chance, there is a problem with the person while conducting additional investigations…….

‘f*ck.’

I felt like my head would break just thinking about it. It’s much better for your mental health if you just don’t even imagine it.

“If the saintess had come in person, wouldn’t it be self-evident that there would be nothing to worry about?”

“Because it has to do with wounded lambs.”

“We, the Snow Leopard Knights, will not hesitate to provide any support to expel the warlocks who are believed to have nested in Rupel Manor.”

“Thank you for your words. As expected of the rumored black fox, I feel reassured.”

The saintess covered her mouth with her hand and laughed. She was an unknown woman. Is she hiding me, or is it the way she originally saw it.

Anyway, the symbolism of the name ‘saint’ cannot be ignored.

As Archbishop Javier Simon said with his own mouth, the Office of the Holy See is by no means a clean and tidy organization.

Although there are many priests who work both physically and mentally to preach the will of God and fulfill the role of light and salt in the world.

The hidden side is full of all sorts of strife and political maneuvering.

I’ve already had a bad experience during the last expedition.

In such a gap, she is the person who put the title of a saint around her neck. Of course, they are not ordinary people, and it is unknown whether they really came to help the county.

Even if she innocently came to help her county, she must not be careless as long as the intentions of her subjects who sent her are unknown.

‘In case you don’t know, he might have been kicked out for this justification because it seems to interfere with the papal election.’

There is no possibility at all.

Basically, the tribe of priests was born with shadyness. It is also the reason why it is easy to find wandering priests who have escaped from the organization and wandered around the country, even though the Emperor’s Office possesses absolute power.

When I went to follow God’s will, it was only natural that the Hyeonta would come as long as humans were politicking among themselves.

Right now, we have one in our knights.

Anyway, it was a headache. As long as Saint Catherine of Laterano came here, she couldn’t act as usual.

How many coats of arms were put on the name Catherine Sisela? She doubles as the combat nun chief of the Holy Knights, a regular military group in Laterano, and she is the permanent adviser to the Heretic Judgment Bureau.

This means that if you make a mistake, you can just push it away if it’s a county.

In addition, since the compatibility between the Knights and the Emperor’s Office was not good from the beginning, it was inevitable that they would be in an uncomfortable state.

If it’s the Heretic Judgment Bureau, they’ll even ask what they’re doing.

If you run into a saint by mistake, I’m not joking.

Isn’t it Gura?

Religion is the scariest thing in the world!

“Then thank you.”

I shook hands with St. Catherine, trying hard to hide my choking breath.

“I am.”

***

The Laterano Inquisitors and Imperial Inspectors arrived the next day. The first thing they did when they arrived was to investigate the ruined castle in question.

Guiding the way was done by Descartes and Andrei, who were also priests.

First of all, he prayed for the souls of the victims piled up in one corner, and removed all traces of Arachne’s uncleanness, including spider egg nests, with the torch.

In the meantime, the inspectors, fearing that someone might not be from the imperial family, took possession of the prosecutor’s office and robbed the remaining materials of the ruined castle.

As a result, we succeeded in roughly figuring out the location of the original nesting place of the Arachne in question.

All the people who lived in the abandoned abandoned castle were vagrants who had wandered around in Baron Kirten for various reasons, thanks to a diary found in the arms of one of them.

“Looks like they were already hunting tramps bit by bit. There are records of people who went into the woods to the southeast to find food and went missing one or two.”

“I would have looked at the liver, and when I gained a certain level of confidence, I would have attacked them all at once.”

As soon as the fact was revealed, the guards of Baron Kirten and our knights launched an extensive search operation.

“Kyaaa!!”

“I knew it would be like this.”

“Get out of the way everyone!”

The investigation team was able to find another chimera in a cave far southeast of the abandoned castle.

Unlike me, who fought to the death and death, Arachne was cut as if she was being beaten by Sianne’s Eraine swordsman who opened her aura.

After confidently casting “Can you feel the difference in strength?”, Xianne gently brushed away the bodily fluids that glistened on her blade.

“This must be their home base.”

Striding into the darkness.

This is a girl crush, cancer.

“But Captain, you are afraid of cockroaches, but not afraid of spiders.”

I suddenly remembered her first time investigating a D-class dungeon together, and when I asked her, Xian-ne shrugged her shoulders as if it were natural.

“A spider is not a bug.”

Uh…… Hmm… ….

It’s not strictly biological, but isn’t it different?

After thinking about it, I thought it would be similar to being afraid of ghosts but not being afraid of ghost-type monsters, so I passed it off.

Because of the difference between a harmless creature that became the base and a much more dangerous but simple spider.

“Then, let’s start the search in earnest from here.”

Sianne spoke next to Arachne’s corpse. The cave search team consisted of me, Cianne, Lonez and Barbara.

As a senior engineer, Heinz is in charge of guiding the squires to be put into external searches along with vice-captain Emain. At first, it was just awkward, but now I do it without saying anything.

Because it’s so good.

Originally, although sprouts were visible, the original members, including Heinz, were faithfully fulfilling their roles, saying that seats make people.

There was nothing more satisfying than this.

Just one person.

Except for Ronz.

“Damn it! Why is there only one! Head of Giant Xian! This is not too weak!!”

Our barbarian night burst into anger as if we were going to tear, tear, taste, and enjoy Arachne. It seems quite unfair that Xianne had a one-turn kill.

“Lons…… Please keep your dignity! Even after becoming a senior engineer, words keep coming out!”

Sianne let out a deep sigh and reprimanded him at those words.

“Kuheugh…… ! It’s been too long since I haven’t had a real fight!”

Lonz howls like an orc.

If you really wanted to fight, you should have run ahead of Xianne.

Around the time when they were exchanging rakugo like that of a gag program.

As if this was normal, I heard the voice of Barbara, who had been admirably practicing bottle eating and went on a search earlier.

“Captain!? Administrator!! Here! Look at this!”

I found something.

I immediately exchanged glances with Cianne and ran over Arachne’s corpse.

As expected.

What remains in the depths of the cave is the scene of evil sorcery.

An exhibition hall with human skulls on display, and a devil’s reverse pentagram painted with a red liquid that does not know if it is blood.

The ceiling was hung with cages big enough for one person to fit in, and other than that, it was full of all sorts of torture tools and items for alchemy.

“It’s a bad taste.”

It feels like my SAN value is being reduced just by looking at it. To the point where I don’t even want to think about what these bastards did here.

“Did it leave a trace?”

“We should look for that from now on.”

The warlock’s laboratory was quite well organized. Just like it was used just a few days ago. I don’t know why the landlord disappeared, but for now, I’m sure I’ll be able to get a lot of information.

I approached the first bookshelf that caught my eye, and took out a bundle of papers that I had randomly pinned and held in place.

The first things I saw were portraits of children. As soon as I saw the picture, I felt an inexplicable disgust.

Did you draw the victims?

These damn warlocks were pedophiles, and they had a particular fondness for children.

Because it is a pure and not fully ripened fruit, it is even more valuable as a sacrifice.

Anyway, I remember that it was a disgusting and beggarly reason. You have to kill all the pedo bastards.

In the middle of turning the paper so slowly.

“…… For a moment.”

I could make out a face drawn clearly on the paper. No, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize it. It’s weird not knowing.

A word he spat out as if in denial.

“Lucy?”

It was a picture that looked exactly like my adopted daughter, Lucy.

This is a standing illustration of a saint!!!!!!
