Chapter 225: Looming threat. (2/2)

The first thing that he noticed was a group of arhts that looked si the forest They were just standing around the whole church as if they were expecting so money, the side that he entered was meant for the merchants and nobles

‘Perhaps this is normal…’

Roland wondered if the cult activities were the reason for a large nuhts here or if it was just due to not wanting the coh this entrance A far sh which the less fortunate could get their prayers answered This didn’t sit too ith hi the people by class

Co about the status quo was not why he was here Thanks to his job he was soet through the front gate would make the experience faster The acolyte held out a tray to which he dropped the minimal amount of e chapel

The place was covered in silver and gold patterns The large ere created to allow the natural sun to illuminate the whole area Then there were a few statues of their Goddess along with soels similar to the valkyries from his past life With the help of his h concentration of divine mana in this place, a lot more than he was used to in the other churches he visited

But he was not here to adet a cheap elixir to help him with any potential curses that awaited hilances, he noticed a side roo just that They had shelves lined with various concoctions one pricer than the other

“I wish to buy a divine elixir that works against curses”

“Praise the sun”

The nun welco him with a few options he was quickly done with his purchase It was quite surprising hoell trained these acolytes were at peddling their wares He needed to constantly be on guard as they tried pushi+ng the higher potency potions on hiot the the cult to make a move?”

His reconnaissance s The nu cautious or were they preparing for war? If they were expecting a large nuht shi+ft they were running

The a hily wor when exposed to them Perhaps if an infected walked into this church their affliction would become obvious to the priests here

‘Loreena didn’t explain ers can lie doretting a headache and dropping down to the floor it could be one sign of being corrupted But could those bugs affect the host's brain before beco if the person decided to go to a church filled with energies they disliked before it happened?

After discovering that the church was on high alert Roland went on towards the vendor stalls with dried food and water There was not h to last hi, he had been spoiled slightly but this didn’t mean that he couldn’t survive on dried meat for months

“Well this is problematic, I didn’t expect them to be so wary”

“What’s proble so with three other adventurers that he thought he ditched after co the day walking around the city and getting supplies was quite tiresoht be fate”

Said Dalrak while

“Fate my ass, this place just has the cheapest food from this area, ere bound to run into each other”

Said Orson as he sat down next to his dwarven co down next to hi to do

“What’s with the long face? Oh I forgot, it's just how your face is”

Senna was the last one to sit between the two groups, it was as if she was the old rank adventurers and the silver ranked ones As always Roland remained mostly silent but their company wasn’t as unco accustomed to other people but this didn’tout the door when they started acting stupid

“So, did you decide on your next destination, if not how about you coe like you in the team?”

Senna spoke up while the others called over a waitress to bring the proposal as he was already a gold rank adventurer People of his rank would have an easy ti work as they were proved specialists with one foot in the tier 3 region

“You want ive you a good deal! You old rank but I and the boys will join you there soon too ”

The others smiled as it was the truth, if they stayed in this city and trained in the dungeon they could probably reach level one hundred in a short tiold adventurers could be created to challenge harder dungeons like the super dungeon that this island was famous for

It was not such a bad deal as he already knew these people For teams wasn't only about the number of levels each adventurer had, there always needed to be some trust involved This could be created in various ways but so a dungeon expedition was needed for a long-lasting party The longer a party lasted the easier fighting monsters became as with teamwork came improvement

“I will have to decline, I need to return to Albrook”

“You do? What does Albrook have that this city doesn’t? The woeon here is a C+!”

This time Orson answered, this city was clearly superior but Roland had another life there, adventuring was only his side job to fall back on if soer

“Wayland is just playing hard to get, leave the talking tohis reply Fro had probably ht that he only wanted e class holder he would easily be able to join proper gold rank teams that were already established Yet before he was able to receive the sales pitch so happened

“W-as that?”

Fro Those shouts were followed by a strange low pitched howl He was clearly not is as everyone turned their faces to where the co from…
