How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

19. It must have been a knight under his command

I received a request from Diaz, not a request.

“Still, since you’re a member of the same knights, shouldn’t you show your face at least once?”

“Well……”

It was a story about Krause, who was in the treatment room of the archdiocese due to an injury.

I was a little worried that I would get caught in the middle of the day like Andrew, but…

‘If I don’t go and come back later, that’ll be more embarrassing, right?’

I also thought that it might be more comfortable for me to hit the bread first.

Besides, Krauss doesn’t seem to know, but anyway, I was injured because I freed that monster.

“Yeah. Just show your face slightly.”

“Yes.”

In front of the treatment room that arrived like that.

Diaz opened the door and I went inside.

Private room with no other people.

There, on the wide bed, I saw the figure of Krause.

When the door opened, he looked this way too.

“Oh. Aren’t you our new face driver?”

“……”

Krause frowned and straightened his upper body.

“It doesn’t have to happen.”

“Uh hey. But our new driver is here. How can that be? Ha ha ha! Oh, it hurts to laugh.”

I looked at his stomach.

Bandages were wrapped around them.

“How are you?”

“It’s a little stiff, but it’s because you’re old, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Looks like you’re okay. Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Ah. What are you going to do already? There are a lot of fruits here, so go eat some.”

this human.

Nucksal seemed to be quite good than I thought.

After thinking for a while, I sat down on the chair next to him.

“Sir Diaz? Could you bring me some fruit there? I’d like to ask you a favor.”

“Yes.”

When Diaz brought the basket, Krause pulled out an orange from inside.

“This is so sweet. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a delicious orange! Fuhahaha! Oops. Side…”

He laughed at his father’s gag, and grabbed his side by himself.

He was a strange person.

“Ah. This is a joke that works pretty well.”

“It must have been an adjutant or a knight under his command.”

“…How did you know?”

What I didn’t know was more curious.

“By the way. He fought really well.”

When the story of his day job came up, Krause’s expression completely changed and he became serious.

Certainly, the knight seemed to be a knight.

“Besides, your ability to handle that lightning……It’s phenomenal. Is it the power you received from Straun?”

I thought about it for a while…

He nodded.

Because I thought it was necessary to trick my authority in moderation.

Still, no one would have known what I had gotten from Straun.

It would have been less suspicious if I had thrown something like this.

“Keuuu. That’s right. It’s my ability, as you can see, it’s the ability to handle fog. This time it was useless.”

“We fought well enough. The compatibility was just not good.”

“You have a knack for making your words pretty! Haha! Ahh. I keep forgetting.”

He rubbed his side and continued.

“I’ve been inert for a while because I’m a member of the Seven Knights. Huh. I’m old enough, so I guess I’ll have to do some exercise from now on.”

“……”

Krause seemed to feel that my words were empty words.

‘It’s not empty words.’

Seriously, this time it was just a bad match.

Krause was a person who was sufficiently strong to enter the ranks.

How could there be a common human being who could fight a large demon army alone like that?

Still, what are you doing?

It wasn’t bad news for me.

Because he will come in handy when the Great Invasion happens one day.

“Looks like you’ve said everything. I’m going to leave.

I got up from my seat.

“That’s true. People are cold. Anyway, I won’t forget this grace of mine. The price for saving my life, I’ll pay it back when the opportunity arises.”

“Sure.”

“Are you thinking of leaving Seaforeo? I just want you to stay here. Sometimes we fight.”

Dalian?

I felt the need to leave even more.

“I have a lot of work.”

“That’s right. Maybe it’s because we’re the seventh member, so it seems like there’s a lot to do. I see. We should stop chasing people who are busy. Please take care of yourself.”

“I will.”

“Oh, and.”

I stopped for a moment before leaving the treatment room.

“The sword. Wasn’t that from Straun’s warehouse?”

“maybe.”

“Hey. How about changing it to something nicer?”

Well. exactly.

The unique skill of space cutting was a skill that could not be used without a sword.

What if the sword breaks by chance?

A precious means of attack was disappearing.

As I nodded, Krause added a comment.

“Stop by Rejeta and meet Garoon. If you tell me my name, he’ll treat you well. Haha!”

‘Garun?…Somewhere familiar name…Ah!’

After a while, his nickname came to mind.

‘Blacksmith Garun the Ghost.’

In this episode, he’s already dead.

The blacksmith was a specter.

“This person…Are you saying Akbyton, the grand duke of demons mentioned in that old book?…

Archbishop Theveton looked down at the charred corpse with a dark expression.

I felt a chill down my spine.

Such a monster was in the basement of Siphoreo.

while making that creepy noise.

The Archbishop of Thevenon asked the priests.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’ve been verified several times. In particular, there is a description of skin that does not lift swords in ancient books, and that part exactly matches Lord Krause’s testimony.”

“There’s no way a person like Sir Krauss couldn’t handle a sword. There’s no way his sword would have become dull.”

“That’s right. Other than that, it can be said that it is certain, judging from the record of this strange appearance and the ability shown.”

The priest showed the Archbishop of Thevenon an open book.

In that chapter, I saw a picture with the name Akbyton written on it.

“If you look at it now, you can see that it is a little emaciated, unlike this picture in the book.”

“That’s right.”

“It seems that it has been sealed for quite a long time and starved. It seems that it has weakened a lot because of that. Nevertheless, there is no change in being a fearsome existence. Anyway, for some reason, the underground seal was recently broken. It’s a crack.”

“So this monster kidnapped people through that hole and the disappearance happened?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“You managed to figure it out in a short amount of time. You’ve worked hard.”

To the Archbishop of Thevenon’s praise, the senior priest shook his head.

“Actually… we didn’t figure out anything about the subterranean seal rift.”

“Hmm? What do you mean by that?”

“Lord Rohan told me. I heard that you met Sir Albert of the Reconnaissance Party underground.”

no wonder.

In such a difficult case, it seemed that the conclusion was reached too quickly.

Of course, the priests were not inferior in their skills either, but in most cases, it was not easy to find the clues about the devils.

by the way.

There was one thing the Archbishop of Thevenon did not understand.

“Why is Lord Rohan there…”

“Perhaps you went to investigate the underground noises and disappearances on your own, Sir Albert carefully guessed.”

“This is true. The more I listen to it, the more Lord Rohan’s sense of justice is amazing. So, how did Lord Rohan find out about the seal and crack?”

“I can’t believe that, but… He saw it and figured it out right away…”

“……”

In fact, the more I listened to him, the more strange he was.

Is it because it is the seventh knight to fill the vacant position?

It was to the extent that it felt different from that of ordinary people.

The Archbishop of Thevenon became curious.

What was the level of that person named Rohan?

what a great job he has done.

“This Akbyton…no. I don’t even want to say it. If Lord Rohan didn’t exist, if this monster had run amok…how much damage would you guess?”

The priests had been able to answer without hesitation, but they couldn’t answer that question easily.

only look at each other.

In response, the senior priest carefully stepped forward and gave an answer.

“According to the old book, his original position was a high-ranking demon. Among them, it was said to be a noble class. ….At least half of Seaforeo would have been in ruins. If the response had been slower, it would have been expected that Seaforeo would have been devastated and we would have had to think about relocating the capital.”

The Archbishop of Thevenon sighed.

“…This is true. I don’t think I have anything to say to the royal family.”

The fact that the church was able to become this powerful was thanks to the support of each kingdom.

And the background of that support was the justification of protecting against such demons.

In this case, it could be said that the church did not play its role.

If he was determined and fired, he would have nothing to say even if he had ten mouths.

In addition, if Akbyton caused great damage, it was obvious that he would not be able to avoid being reprimanded at the General Assembly of the Church.

‘no. He must have died before he heard that kind of reprimand.’

The whole city owed its life to Lord Rohan.

The next day, President of the Archdiocese of Siphoreo.

bishops’ meeting.

There, I learned how I was able to wear the Black Thunder Ring.

through the Archbishop of Thevenon.

“We, the Bishops’ Conference of the Archdiocese of Siphoreo, have chosen Sir Rohan as the Heretic Inquisitor representing Siphoreo.”

‘This is why it was written.’

I fiddled with the ring on my left index finger.

“If you want to give up the position of Heretic Questioner, you can do so anytime. Not just right now. Will you accept the position of Heretic Questioner?”

what would you ask

There was no reason to refuse.

Even if it wasn’t, I was worried about how to get the position of a paladin, but it rolled in like this on its own.

I nodded.

“Not so.”

“Good. Now you, Rohan, are a family member of our Archdiocese of Siphoreo, and a member of the Order of Arlem. If anyone raises a tooth against you, we will stand together. You, Rohan. Do not be afraid to face evil.”

With that, I got a special job called the Heretic Questioner.

In addition, there were also small harvests.

‘The Paladin class… I can’t see it.’

The paladin class, a playable character, was nowhere to be seen.

that soon.

‘Even if I steal the item that character gets… there’s no problem.’

Thanks to that, I was able to choose my next destination with ease.

Physical limitations that I felt even if I didn’t.

I needed to fix that.

Of course, he had stamina comparable to that of a soldier or athlete from a special forces unit.

However, it was only the upper level in terms of human standards.

‘Even if the devil is different, what is different? To catch a mob I’ve never seen before in the original work, and having such a hard time…’

During the battle at Seaphoreo this time, I was a bit depressed.

It was because I realized once again that I was too weak.

I thought it was because people around me praised me for being so amazing……

‘no. I was too conceited.’

Like Krause, I had to work harder.

skills and stamina.

Among them, the way to solve the stamina aspect… I remembered that it existed in the side mission of the Paladin class.

‘Phoenix flower. I should have already collected them by now.’

If Paladins existed, I would have avoided them.

There was no reason to leave it as long as it was confirmed that it was not.

Feeling that I couldn’t afford to delay, I left Seaforeo that very day.

and……

A small cabin in the woods.

[Little Herbalist]

I stepped into the building with the sign hanging on it.
