The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

＜ 68 : White Paladin (2) ＞

“The wind is cool today.”

A summer sky with a scorching sun.

A damp breeze blew in from the open window.

A cool breeze blows past your cheeks in the blazing sunlight.

It was a cool breeze that I would not normally think of.

As the wind blows into the house, I reach out to the window.

Then, the open window was completely closed.

“Still, air conditioning is the best.”

No matter how cool it was outside, air conditioning was the best in summer.

beep.

I closed the window and immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the air conditioner.

As the air conditioner turns on, cool air begins to flow slowly.

The cool air outside is good, but the cool breeze from inside is even more pleasant.

After turning on the air conditioner using the remote control, I lay down on the bed with my smartphone.

“Then let’s play the game we’ve been putting off today.”

During the week, I was busy and couldn’t play the game properly.

I was thinking of getting things done at once when I had time to spare.

tuk.

If you wait while touching the screen of the smartphone where the loading screen appears, the screen flips over and the scene in the game comes to mind.

The first thing he saw was the appearance of Utenia moving on a wagon.

My gaze on the game naturally turned to [Holy Relic: Etalia’s Compass] in her hand.

“It looks like you’re looking for it without resting.”

For several days, Yutenia was busy carrying [Relic: Etalia’s Compass].

Even when accessing the game for a short time, it was hard to see Euthenia stopping the operation of the relic and resting.

Needless to say, the penalty for the relic was very heavy.

If you arbitrarily stop using the item, a 2 day cooldown will be applied as game time.

As such, it was understandable that Utenia was moving without a break.

“You are in a lot of trouble.”

Watching Yutenia struggling, I thought that I should hand over a reward or something.

I opened my inventory and handed one [Sponge Cake] to Eutenia.

A cake appeared on Yutenia’s lap, who was looking at the compass.

Yutenia looked up at the cake and looked up at the sky for a moment, and, as usual, thanked her.

– “thank you.”

A gift for suffering would suffice.

They didn’t have anything to hand over other than the cake.

If you want to come up with a better gift, you need to turn the draw.

After giving the gift to Eutenia, I moved my gaze to the bottom of the screen and began to check the message box.

It was to check the events that happened last night.

If you click on the message box at the bottom of the screen, you can see some messages related to Estasia.

– [Cherubim: Estasia] performed a miracle.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma has been increased by 5.

– The denomination’s membership has increased significantly.

– Some followers have acquired the ＜Cultist＞ trait.

– Karma has been increased by 2.

– [Cherubim: Estasia] performed a large-scale miracle.

– ＜Karma Scale＞ calculates the causal factor.

– Karma has been increased by 15.

Unlike Queberg, Estasia was able to supply and receive karma without hunting.

Through a special event called a miracle, it is possible to acquire karma in a different way than before.

In addition, the karma that Estasia acquired was a kind of karma that could bring about the reduction effect of the causality correction value.

That the number of messages related to Estasia increased that much was something that I was welcome enough.

“There are quite a lot of events related to Estasia in the fortress.”

In the early days, there were many events related to Kueberg, but the fortress had more events related to Estasia.

Overall, there was a feeling that Kueberg’s activity cycle had become dull.

Although the amount of karma acquisition itself is about the same as before.

It seems that as much as Kueberg’s activity has decreased, the amount of karma obtained from other places has increased.

It was thanks to the members of the denomination that were busy working.

As I read the karma acquisition message with a satisfied mood, I could find unusual messages at the bottom.

“What else is this?”

The bottom of the message box.

There were messages that I had never seen before.

I read the messages that appeared on the screen one by one with nervous eyes.

The content of the newly printed message surprised me enough.

– You have acquired ＜Regular Meeting (Lv.MAX)＞.

– You can now temporarily summon the cerebral corpses of invitees from afar to the conference hall.

– The number of participants in ＜regular meeting＞ cannot exceed 12 people.

– In the meeting hall where ＜regular meeting＞ is held, mutual damage cannot be caused.

– It is possible to place items in your inventory in the meeting room.

– Communication with the apostle is not possible while the ＜regular meeting＞ is in progress.

– The skill is deactivated for 14 days after using ＜regular meeting＞.

– It is possible to set the cycle to automatically open the meeting.

Even though he did not level up, a message that he had acquired a new skill came to mind.

The name of the skill is ＜regular meeting＞.

According to the description, it seemed that up to 12 people could be temporarily summoned to the conference hall.

Moreover, it seemed that they could not harm each other in the meeting room.

After checking the explanation of ＜regular meeting＞, I couldn’t help but stare at the screen with a puzzled face.

“＜regular meeting＞? Are you calling to the conference hall?”

This is a skill that can temporarily summon up to 12 people to a meeting.

At first glance, I wanted to gather the apostles and give them orders, but when I read the detailed explanations, it was not such a skill.

During the regular meeting, communication with the apostle becomes impossible.

It meant that it was not a skill created for communication between me and the characters.

In addition, it was written that the meeting hall could place items in the inventory.

What was more absurd than the saying that communication was not possible was the phrase that this object could be placed.

“No, I’m putting things in my inventory into the meeting room for what purpose.”

If you want to hand over an item anyway, it is more efficient to go directly to the subject.

Isn’t there a penalty for holding 2 weeks of game time for ＜regular meeting＞?

Even if you tried to give something using this skill, it meant that you had to wait at least a few days.

By the way, I can put things freely in the meeting room.

What use is it other than placing bread and refreshments in your alternate inventory?

It was a story that was difficult to understand from the standpoint of reading the description of the skill.

“…is that really what it means?”

After a lot of thought, I thought that this game could really mean something like that.

Do you have to call the conference room and bring snacks for the characters?

The more I looked at it, the more amazing it could be.

And there was one more skill related to this ＜regular meeting＞ skill.

It was a skill called ＜regular meeting: invitation＞.

– You have acquired ＜Regular Meeting: Invitation (Lv.MAX)＞.

– Give the target a ring to enter the meeting room.

– The subject with the ring moves to the conference hall at the same time as the ＜regular meeting＞ is held.

This skill was a skill that could select a character to attend the ＜regular meeting＞.

The character to which the skill was applied would be given a ring, and only the character with the ring would enter the meeting.

The total number of characters that can attend the meeting is 12.

In the case of the ＜regular meeting: invitation＞ skill, it was impossible to overuse the skill blindly.

I let out a short sigh and looked at the ＜regular meeting＞ and ＜regular meeting: invitation＞ skills.

All kinds of worries about how to use this skill passed.

“It’s a meeting between the characters. How about this…”

As I was contemplating on where to use the skill, I saw the figure of Yutenia eating the cake.

Just like the last cake, Yutenia ate the cake she was handed over to herself.

Even if the meeting is held anyway, the apostles including Euthenia will be required to attend.

If not now, he must have used ＜Ordinary Meeting: Invitation＞ for Euthenia someday.

If you are testing a skill, it would be better to use it on Yutenia first.

“For now… I have to give him first.”

After making the decision, I immediately used the skill.

Kwok.

A target to designate a target appeared on the screen with a halo.

When the target was placed on top of Euthenia and touched, the target disappeared and the light enveloped Euthenia.

As the light that enveloped Euthenia faded, a ring was placed on her palm.

It was a gold ring with a mysterious pattern engraved on it.

When Yutenia found the ring, she smiled and put it on her finger.

Guilford Plow.

The commander of the Guilford mercenaries and the hero of fertility, he was now passing through the western part of the empire.

Around Guilford, mercenaries were lined up following him.

If it had been the same, it would have moved by finding a wagon, but it was not easy to find a wagon in this area.

Moreover, it was even more difficult to find a carriage to carry all the mercenaries.

For that reason, they endured the summer sun and moved on foot.

“Chief…where are you going?”

Jenny asked, facing Guildford walking in front, blocking the sunlight with a thick magic book.

The magician, Jenny, looked exhausted as her physical strength was slowly approaching the limit.

Unlike other mercenaries, Jenny was not able to properly develop her stamina.

Seeing Jenny like that, Guilford stopped her steps and spoke.

“For now, it would be better to take a break and talk.”

“Me too… I agree.”

“Let’s all take a break here.”

At Guilford’s instructions, the mercenaries unloaded their luggage and began to sit on the floor.

Moving under the scorching sun was tiring for the mercenaries who had crossed countless deadly lines.

When all the mercenaries sat down and rested, Jenny also sat down on a nearby rock.

Guilford leaned against the tree next to Jenny.

It was a place where the lush leaves created shade and sheltered from the sun.

Guilford, who took refuge in the shade, opened her mouth while looking at Jenny.

“According to Ascalon, there was an enemy somewhere here that showed turbulent movements.”

“A disturbing movement?”

“It was a story about moving to awaken the ancestors of the sealed vampires.”

Progenitor of vampires.

Upon hearing the story, Jenny opened her eyes wide and looked at Ascalon.

The story of the progenitor Pluto was quite famous among wizards.

This was because research on monsters was a field that was often conducted even if not a warlock.

As far as Jenny knew, the progenitor of vampires was a monster sealed in a war fought a long time ago.

“Huh, you’re trying to release the progenitor of vampires from the seal?”

“Yeah. He said the purpose was to release that guy from the seal and obtain the relic used for the seal.”

“Then isn’t it extremely dangerous? Is it possible to stop it with just our mercenaries?”

“Of course, as strong as the eponymous one is, if possible, it will be necessary to stop the enemies before the seal is released.”

“leader…….”

Jenny looked at the mercenaries and Guilford with a worried expression.

As powerful as the ancestors of the vampires are, the magic that protects the seals of the ancestors will also be powerful.

A follower of an evil god who forcibly breaks through such magic and tries to break the seal.

The level of such people could never be normal.

“Don’t worry. Even if the Founder wakes up, I’ll put him to sleep again.”

Guilford patted Ascalon at Jenny’s worried face and said.

Woo woo–.

Ascalon, who was tied around his waist, reacted to the hand tapping the sword.

Ascalon spread his voice towards Guilford who was beating him.

– “…the progenitor Pluto is a dangerous being.”

“Isn’t it enough that we can’t win even if we all fight?”

– “If Pluto wakes up, I’m sure you’ll be able to annihilate it.”

“Hmm…….”

– “If possible, it would be better to finish her work before she resurrects. Even a weakened ancestry is enough to deal with you.”

It was Ascalon who completely shattered Guilford’s rant towards Jenny.

Guildford looked at Ascalon with a disappointed smile, and then pulled it out completely.

The splendid brilliance of the Shinigami emanated from under the shade.

Woo woo woo woo–.

Ascalon began to transmit a trembling stronger than before.

Ascalon, emitting a strong light, continued the story to Guilford.

– “At least you’d better give up the idea of proceeding with the same weak mentality as before.”

“You’re worrying about unnecessary things. If it’s not like that, there’s no reason why I should avoid fighting.”

– “I want you to keep that word.”

Ascalon has continued to show a negative attitude towards Guilford since the encounter with Estasia.

tt

Guilford, who was holding Ascalon, clicked his tongue once.

If a colleague who had to fight with you for a long time showed this kind of appearance, it was going to be annoying.

Guilford also complained to Ascalon.

“Looks like I’m not that dubious.”

– “You have already given up your hero’s responsibilities once.”

“…there was nothing I could do about it.”

– “Of course, you don’t have to worry too much this time, as reinforcements will come to help you.”

However, Ascalon did not seem to care much about Guilford’s words.

Rather, it was Ascalon who brought out the story of the reinforcements to Guilford.

Reinforcements to help him.

It was the first story I had ever heard from Guilford.

Upon hearing Ascalon’s story, Guilford asked him about the reinforcements.

“Are you a support person to help me?”

– “There is one person who is desperately looking for you.”

“Is there someone looking for me? Are you sure we’re letting others know of our location?”

– “I have no reason to bother you like that. Just foreknowledge. According to her foreknowledge, she’ll run into you sooner or later.”

“She, who is that?”

– “Saint of Abundance, Serena Etherant.”

The Saint of Abundance, Serena Etherant.

A temple official was visiting Guilford.

Guilford’s face hardened at the unexpected story.
