Sword Pilgrim - Chapter 198

Episode 198:

The Holy Sword.

Obviously, the Church of Balterus has a holy sword.

Saying no was more accurate.

There was a holy sword. But not now.

The reason for this is as follows.

“The holy sword disappeared after the Great War of the Dragon Demon.”

With Saint Stella.

The Virgin’s Prayer Room.

The saintess, dressed in pure white robes soaked in water due to her prayers, slowly walked toward Colius. Her wet footsteps and the sound of dripping water stimulated my sensitive ears.

“The Holy Sword is the first sword ever made.”

first sword.

The first corpse created by a miracle of God.

That is the holy sword.

“I will find the holy sword.”

Her strong will was evident.

However, when Esther asked to find the holy sword, Callius was aghast.

holy sword.

It’s definitely a great sword.

Aside from its symbolic meaning, it possesses powerful power as it is the first sword.

however.

‘hard to find.’

reason why. The last time the Holy Sword appeared was during the Great War of the Dragon Demon.

It was in Stella’s hand.

How could they find a holy sword that hadn’t been revealed for a thousand years?

It’s a thousand years.

almost a thousand years.

Finding the holy sword that disappeared with Stella would be as difficult as finding her remains.

“How can I find a sword that a thousand years couldn’t find?”

“I found a trace. No, I guessed where it was from the beginning.”

Colius’ brow narrowed.

Has the Church already secured its position?

However, the reason I couldn’t find it was probably because it was dangerous.

Of course, Callius knew where the holy sword was. However, I had never thought of going to find the holy sword until now.

‘It’s inefficient.’

This is because the merit of the holy sword itself is inferior to the effort and time spent.

The unique ability of the first weapon created is usually simple.

Just as Raphael’s ability is strengthening, the holy sword is also simple but powerful.

And the first arms are not graded.

Besides, since they’ve been around for a long time, their egos are awake, so they’re quite picky.

He couldn’t become an owner without their approval, and because he was given a compulsive trait, it was also something that Colius, who had been dominated by his traits for a long time, didn’t really covet.

In addition, the Holy Sword was in a dangerous zone that could threaten his life even with the current Calius, and the enemies around him were also powerful.

“You have an unpleasant face.”

“It’s like that.”

Esther nodded as well, probably reading Colius’ expression.

response that was expected.

“This may sound absurd. The holy sword is the sword that disappeared with Saint Stella-sama after she played an active part in the Great War of the Dragon Demon.”

The church also tried to find the sword.

first sword. The sword that ended the Dragon Demon War.

The saint’s sword, the sword of God, and so on.

Because it is a sword with many modifiers attached to it, and a sword with a symbolic meaning.

However, it is also a sword that has not been found even a thousand years after the Great War.

“Even though you know where it is, are you asking me to go find it?”

“yes.”

“War is right around the corner.”

“So even more so.”

“…”

Esther’s will is firm.

Especially since the war is right around the corner.

She wanted to find the holy sword.

surely.

the sword she carries.

Sullivan is a sword that can play a big role in war, but it does not have enough power to overturn the game of war.

I didn’t have enough power to make up for the overwhelming difference in power, so I wanted a holy sword.

Also to boost the morale of the knights.

Because the existence of the Holy Sword is significant.

‘Well, the Holy Sword was a sword that increased the power of many rather than individual power.’

That’s why Stella was also able to sound the news of victory by leading many troops in the Great War of the Dragon Horse.

“I will not force you.”

“Isn’t that forcing you?”

Esther’s hand was still holding Berah’s ring.

“I just did it. I already know why you want to use the relic.”

“How do you know that?”

“I don’t know exactly, but I know it’s for Carpe. Right?”

“…”

Esther put Vera’s ring in Callius’ hand and said with a grin.

“A month later. We will depart.”

“It’s urgent.”

“Because I know things are not going well. It’s time to move fast. Whether or not we can find the holy sword is not certain, and we don’t know how long it might take… We should do as much as we can.”

Callius’ eyes narrowed.

What a heavy burden was placed on these slender shoulders… He grabbed her shoulders without realizing it.

“ah.”

“It’s not your fault. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“…I know. I just do what I can.”

He who does what he can is called a hero.

Callius muttered as he walked towards the smashed door to the prayer room.

then stand up

I stopped and just turned my head and said.

“Courage is to step forward despite knowing fear, and to fight despite knowing defeat is called a knight.”

However.

“I know what they say about those who take care of themselves in the grip of sadness.”

“What do you say?”

“idiot.”

food.

Esther’s lips are raised, and an arc line is also drawn at the corner of Callius’ mouth.

“Don’t be an idiot. Esther.”

“I am not an idiot.”

again and again.

The sound of his shoes echoes in the hallway.

“I can’t go to the den of fools. I will lend you this instead.”

Ting.

widely! Esther, who caught something he threw, had a ring with a red jewel embedded in it.

“This…!”

A treasure bestowed by the Queen.

It was Heteia’s ruby.

“You know the location of your holy sword.”

Looking at his disappearing back, Esther smiled bitterly.

“A den of fools….”

He already.

I knew where the holy sword was.

“I’ll have to go alone to the Fallen Land.”

Although I felt a little uneasy.

I think I’ll be fine now though.

Esther put the ruby on her finger and smiled happily.

* * *

As he left the church, Callius immediately looked at the spearhead with Vera’s ring, and soon knew what was inside.

『Holy Water Imbued with the Spirit of Lactus』

-Lactus’ Tears

– Eden’s Claws – Dragon’s Scales

–

Orte’s Venom

– Sacred Bone

– Karma’s Dew Poison

– Elf’s Eyes

– Castle Moss

– Gargoyle’s Heart – Gypsy

Stone –

Manti Core’s stinger.

‘There are many, many.’

However, most of them are available.

If you receive the help of the queen and the church properly, there is no reason not to seek it.

Lactus’s and Balterus’s are slightly different in nature, so the ingredients will be a little different, but after a few trials and errors, you’ll be able to make enough.

“Is this what Maria said?”

Moss on the castle.

Even if everything else could be obtained, Maria said she didn’t know one thing.

Perhaps it was the moss in the castle.

「Moss to Castle」

– Moss that grew up eating the holy power of adults.

– It needs to be exposed to divinity for more than ten years to become frosted moss.

“hmm.”

I was expecting it, but this guy was a problem.

A moss that is created when an adult’s divinity dwells for more than ten years.

Moss on the castle.

Compared to the others, the acquisition difficulty is uniquely high.

‘I just need to find something else… I just need to catch the manticore’s stinger.’

You can ask Serena for the stone and elf eyes.

As for the eyes of the elves, after the elves die, the eyeballs become crystal like jewels and accept the energy of nature.

If you ask the church for sacred bones, you can get them, although it will be difficult.

The problem is the moss in the castle.

This is all.

‘It’s something that can’t be made unless the Pope or the owner of the tower in the Sahara Holy Land.’

However, there is no way that the pope or the person of Orbire created this on purpose, so I have to get it somewhere, but I have no idea where to get it.

‘If I rob the empire, I’ll come out…’

The risk was too great.

“father. What are you doing?”

“Emily. What are you doing with the saintess?”

“Oh, how did it happen…”

As I was walking alone from the church, Emily and Ailee were in front of me before I knew it.

“…It’s good to sell.”

“I heard that the Queen of Carpe had amicable negotiations with the Empire. I’ll be back soon, so I was sightseeing.”

“okay. So what happened.”

“I’m walking with a very scary expression. People were running away, so I came to see what was going on.”

“What’s wrong, father?”

it was better

Colliers asked directly.

“I need moss in the castle.”

“…You got that far.”

“Moss in the castle? What is it?”

“It is a moss that has absorbed the divinity of a saint. It’s a rare gem.”

“…”

The saintess’ hand stroking Emily’s hair was very familiar. Emily, who casually gave her head into the hands of the enemy, was also not happy with it.

“I cannot go into detail. The moss in the castle is something that only the emperor knows about. Anyway, I am not.”

“I guess so.”

I didn’t expect it.

When Helena returned, I thought I should discuss it with her or talk to Beatrice. If it wasn’t Maria, Beatrice might communicate with Krasion and learn about the whereabouts of the moss in the castle.

“Is that what you need?”

“I need it for my country.”

It was more necessary for Carpe’s survival than for Colius himself.

If you can make a sword holy beast, you will be able to dramatically increase your national power.

‘I’ll have to go see Serena first.’

I can’t do it if I can’t find the moss in the castle by mobilizing all my personal connections.

I have no choice but to give up cleanly and prepare for war in a different direction.

The moment he takes out Schniff and gets on board to find Serena.

Suddenly, Emily pulled up her sleeve.

“What’s going on?”

When I asked, Emily whispered in her ear.

“Isn’t that the moss in the Holy Land? It shimmered and shone…”

“A holy place?”

“What my dad told me to take care of.”

northern.

The sacred place of Fatalite!

There’s moss on the castle there?

Startled, the elated Emily put her hands on her hips and smiled.

“It was strange, so I took it apart to decorate my room, but after hearing about it, I think it fits!”

“Are you in your room?”

“huh! I kept it in a glass bottle. Even at night, it sparkled and shone, so it must be right.”

A blush came over Colius’ face.

I can’t believe that my daughter noticed the part that I missed.

‘It’s luck.’

Come to think of it, yes.

The sacred site of Fatalite is hundreds of years old, so there is a high probability that the moss on the castle was formed naturally.

Why couldn’t I have thought of that?

Callius was admirable, ruffling Emily’s hair.

“ah! It was brushed by my mother!”

Huh!

Emily, frowning arrogantly and covering her mouth in surprise, looked at the two of them.

“…uh.”

“…Emily.”

“huh.”

“I’ll lend you Schniff.”

“Ah yes. I’ll go to the north right now.”

Emily immediately grabbed Schniff’s reins and left. Seeing that she was headed for the mansion, it seemed that she was going to leave right away with only what she needed.

Only Saint Ailee and Callius, who were left alone, looked at each other.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

The moment I was about to say that I would like to have a meal.

“Me too.”

Colius and Ailee turned their heads at the sudden sound of words.

There is a saintess with azure hair who has just left the church.

“Can I join you too?”

Esther was smiling as she put a ring that glowed red on her finger.
