In fact, there was a temple within the Metropolis of Adventurers. It was like somebody residing within the twenty first century saying, “There is a hospital in my neighborhood.” Not having a hospital close by meant you have been in a critically underdeveloped rural space.

On this world, temples served as each church buildings and hospitals. That is why they have been probably the most acquainted locations for adventurers who risked their lives exploring harmful places.

So the Empire’s temple earlier than me felt acquainted too. There gave the impression to be delicate variations, however to an architectural layman like me, it was like being requested to differentiate between Greek and Roman temples.

“This manner, please.”

Nonetheless, the priest earlier than me was an unfamiliar sort.

The black shade of his priestly robes wasn’t an enormous concern, however when the person carrying them instinctively managed his actions, it naturally piqued my curiosity.

Clear and neat black priestly robes as a substitute of low-cost brown or mouse-colored monk’s habits, footsteps flowing via the market crowd like water, a peaceful voice clearly audible amidst the bustling chaos, and even the heavy fist briefly revealed between broad sleeves.

I did not have a system window like Han Se-ah to examine NPCs’ star rankings, however one factor was sure. This individual guiding me, no matter his innate ranking, was no less than a high-level monk in his present state.

‘A monk, positive, however extra like an inquisitor? There’s additionally an murderer vibe…’

A tingling sensation hit my fingertips. Regardless of no trace of hostility, my physique’s delicate response advised he reeked of blood.

Nicely, even the dominion’s inquisitors have been fairly busy, so how far more within the Empire with its huge territory? As they are saying, the extra branches a tree has, the much less possible it’s to have a peaceful day. And if he was affiliated with the Grand Temple, not simply an odd one, he should have been operating himself ragged.

With such ideas, I slowly adopted the person in black priestly robes in the direction of the large Grand Temple.

“By the way in which, the place are we going?”

“Ah, I used to be advised to escort Sir Roland when he arrived. Another person will clarify the small print within the reception room.”

I did not even know why I used to be going to the Grand Temple, and it appeared the guiding priest did not know a lot both. I wasn’t a prison, so there was no cause to cover the reality.

As we walked slowly on this awkward ambiance, Han Se-ah’s digital camera adopted us like a ghost.

“Wow, is that the Grand Temple? It feels a bit just like the Season 2 tutorial, being caught exterior the Magic Tower. I suppose this tutorial will finish as soon as Roland finishes his enterprise on the Grand Temple? However why cannot we go away till the enhancement occasion is over…”

-Hey Han, shut up and do your workbook.

-So what superior magic did you determine to study? Did not you make a multitude final time attempting to decide on?

-Dunno, however a bunch of Japs rushed in and began donating like Superchat, asking if there’s magic just like anime.

-What Japs, you f*cking fool ᄏᄏᄏᄏ

-There have been a number of Japanese folks earlier than, why are you calling them Japs? Are you insane?

“Ah, sure…”

“Nonetheless, since we have met after some time, this previous girl will communicate comfortably, in case you do not thoughts.”

That is why the temple’s reception room, whereas fairly spacious for a reception room, wasn’t lavishly embellished. Add to that the truth that the nun who got here to see me was a plump previous girl straight out of a Ghibli animation, and it felt like I used to be in the home of a well-off grandmother within the countryside.

Snow-white hair, a big hooked nostril, wrinkled pores and skin, and a benevolent smile. I wasn’t positive if it was acceptable to say this a few nun, however she was the individual the time period ‘type witch’ suited higher than anybody else on the earth.

The issue was that I did not know why I used to be right here or who this nun was. As my resentment in the direction of the scatterbrained Goddess regularly constructed up, solely to subside after I considered the holy sword’s ignore protection and injury multiplier, the nun leisurely savoring her tea opened her mouth.

“Hoho, Roland. Roland Bretagne. You set off alone for the Kingdom and appear to have gained greater than anticipated. This too have to be the need of the Goddess.”

“…?”

“The story of you climbing that troublesome tower within the Kingdom, touring with the warrior who obtained divine revelation from the Goddess, and being chosen by the holy sword has reached even this previous girl’s ears.”

“…???”

“If the Border Rely of Bretagne had heard this story, he would have been so comfortable.”

My head was in a whirl from the nun’s phrases, talking as if she knew me nicely, even my household. Was she not only a nun from the Grand Temple, however extra like a grandmother I might identified since childhood?

In fact, my reminiscences solely began from the purpose after I immediately awoke within the Kingdom 11 years in the past. I had no data of younger Roland or household or something, having possessed a mature, muscular male physique whose development had already completed.

The one lucky level was that this nun, after leisurely having fun with the aroma of her tea, closed her eyes gently and started to mutter to herself. As if understanding that I did not wish to have interaction in dialog, she began detailing Roland’s previous that I by no means requested about.

As anticipated, Goddess. I wasn’t believing, however anyway.

“Oh, is Roland’s previous being revealed? Come to think about it, we have been collectively for over a yr, however Roland by no means talked about his household. Grace unni even went to the village, Irene unni lives within the temple so it is laborious to ask, and Katie… nicely, everybody is aware of she’s a runaway princess.”

-Come to think about it, Instructor Roland is the one one from the Empire.

-Is the Empire a later-stage space, so it has extra stars? Like degree variations in RPGs?

-However the princess has 6 stars too.

-Immediately craving popcorn and cola, but when I order now, I will miss Instructor Roland’s story, proper?

-Lol the nice sword bastards will go loopy if Instructor Roland’s previous is revealed.

Ignoring the annoyingly fidgeting digital camera, I listened to the previous nun’s muttering as she reminisced in regards to the previous.

Roland of Lombardo, Roland Bretagne.

The one son of the Border Rely of Bretagne, a younger genius knight who confirmed innate expertise on the sword match of Lombardo, the sword monastery defending the Empire

――Or so he would have been, however after his father’s demise, he grew to become disillusioned with the Empire, did not inherit his territory, and fled to the Kingdom. A former Imperial noble, now a Kingdom adventurer.

…Have been the nobles on this world obsessive about operating away from house?
