After the Margrave, we also bid farewell to the Guild Master and the Deputy Captain of the knights, who happened to be at the Adventurer’s Guild.
“By the way, you guys had a battle against the Red Scorpion back when you were in the Southern Frontier, right?”
“Yes. Wait. Don’t tell me, that priest is connected to the Red Scorpion!?”
“That’s exactly right. He is also a senior member of the Red Scorpion. Apparently, they have been doing a lot of crazy things to raise money.”
I was surprised when the guild master suddenly told us about the Red Scorpion, and I didn’t expect that the priest was a Red Scorpion executive. Sue was also quite surprised hearing it.
“Furthermore, they intended to summon a demon and take possession of the Eastern Frontier Territory. And apparently, the illegally gathered children are going to be sacrificed to summon the demon.”
“Then…. because we rescued the children in the slave market, they had summoned an imperfect demon.”
“That’s right. It seems that the money that was forcibly collected was also used to transfer money to the organization and to illegally gather more children.”
The Deputy Captain also spoke to me with a slightly stiffened expression. There was also a connection between the criminal organization and the church, so it was quite complicated inside.
“What will happen to the organizations within the church that advocate humanism?”
“They don’t all seem to be evil, but they have been confirmed to have ties to criminal organizations and are under investigation. This is a real threat to the survival of the church after all.”
“But I think the church can still get back on its feet now.”
“I think so too. The executives in the royal capital are also taking this matter seriously.”
It seems that the church is also doing its best to address this issue, so both Sue and I are relieved.
Let’s hope that the church can take action to cleanse itself.
“Oh right. I have written a letter to the Adventurer Guild Master of the Northern Frontier Territory, please deliver it to him.”
“Thank you. We will take care of it.”
“It’s written in a humorous way about you guys.”
“Please excuse that.”
The guild master handed me the letter with a slight smile.
Uhm, we’re not funny after all though.
“We’ll have a replacement priest soon, and we’ll see it through. Then we’ll return to the Royal Capital afterwards.”
The Deputy Captain also informed us of their future actions.
“I see. And, thank you so much all this time, we have received a lot of help from the deputy captain too.”
“It’s us who’ve been helped. When you arrive in the royal capital, please be sure to stop by the Great Church. We’ll give you a warm welcome.”
With the arrival of the Holy Knights in the eastern frontier territory, things changed at once.
Thank you very much for your hard work.
We’ll be arriving in the Royal Capital around the end of the year, so maybe I’ll be able to say hello to them then.
““““Munch munch munch munch~””””
By the way, during the conversation between the guild master and the deputy captain, Ao was listening with me and Sue, but Shiro, Fran, and Horn were engrossed with sweets.
Oh well, let’s just assume that all three of them were behaving quietly for now.
