After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

Of course, there are definitely some scattered believers now.

However, things like building large-scale temples will never exist in the surrounding areas where the Great Saint Religion is the mainstream.

Because even the ruins of a temple will be rebuilt into a temple of the Great Saint Religion.

If the location is not good, it will be left alone, and if you are not careful, it will become a habitat for natural animals or monsters.

From now on, it seems that this commission should belong to the latter.

"Secondly, if you find any relics, you must hand them over to me without omission. This is a must. Of course, depending on the value of the items, I will not hesitate to add additional rewards."

In order to be seen, Frodo placed a bag full of currency on the table.

Frodo, who Candice said hated squandering and wasting money, actually showed off her financial resources like this.

Of course, this is just what I heard from Candice.

And I didn't know her at that time, so I can't rule out the possibility that she was like that at that time.

However, the action of taking out the money makes people feel his current anxiety.

"Ah, that's fine with me. Then please meet these conditions."

Frodo closed her mouth and tightened her eyes.

Apparently, unlike Candice, she seemed to be someone who could express her mood and intentions very well through her expressions and actions.

Hold up a finger and open your mouth.

"First and foremost, please pay the deposit in addition to the fee. In order to complete the commission, prior preparation is essential, right?"

Hearing this, Frodo nodded slightly and raised her chin slightly.

Aimees Castina, who was sitting next to him and also listening to the conditions, narrowed her eyes.

In fact, money is really needed now.

All my savings had been almost used up when I rescued Filia in the capital, and now I couldn't even guarantee enough money to find a place to stay.

Therefore, in order to ensure a stable life here, you first need reliable money.

"Then, the second one."

As he spoke, he raised his second finger.

A bitter look crossed Frodo's face, perhaps as she was trying to comprehend the words she had just heard.

But looking at the expression on her face, it seemed that she could not digest the meaning no matter what.

She gently stroked her arm and continued to look in this direction, as if urging him.

"Frodo Volgograd, you are a magician, right? Then, swear an oath."

"—You will never forget what you shouldn't forget, and you will never harm me. Please swear like this."

Frodo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, frowned, and bit her pale lips slightly.

Then, the magician who looked exactly like Candice gently but really wanted to tap his chin.

However, at this moment.

"——Please wait a moment. I don't know the common sense of entrustment, but isn't it a bit too harsh to require an oath as a condition? It's not fair."

Aimee Castina interrupted.

Haha, I knew it.

You will definitely stick to this place. After all, you are that kind of guy. You know this place very well.

As a teammate, his gentleness and tolerance are naturally impeccable.

But now, I am standing on the opposite side.

Therefore, gentleness is the most troublesome thing.

Aimee Castina's eyes at this moment showed a strong will and a slight hostility towards this side.

It's really frustrating.

I didn't expect that I would feel the hostility coming from you now.

But... honestly, this is pretty weird.

They are clearly the party that is hostile to the heroes, in other words, the party that is hostile to the will of the world.

But why can't I help but want to curl up the corners of my mouth?

-------------------------------------

"Ann, do you want to come too?"

To check the feel of the new gauntlets, Filia clenched her fists and continued.

In front of the gate that separated the city from the outside, Lalga An shrugged, as if to say it was impossible.

"I have no combat abilities, and I'm just a guide. There's nothing else I can do. And I have to use my free time today to visit other trading partners."

Largado An, holding a large wooden barrel, pointed outside the city wall with his little finger.

Outside the city wall.

It's still morning, so the city gates are closed and I can't confirm it, but there is definitely another street over there.

No, maybe it should be said residence.

Anyway, it's a place like that.

Chapter 9: Oath (Overdue Update)

Outside the city wall, there is another street.

After all, those who could live within the city walls were citizens who had obtained citizenship, or merchants and adventurers who had obtained permission.

Anyone else is not allowed to take even one step forward.

Those who have no jobs or skills only know that Crossmaria is in good economic condition, so they come here to look for jobs with a glimmer of hope.

The end result is to enter the slums near the city walls.

Yes, slums, they always exist in the corners of big cities.

Wherever there is light, there is shadow.

Whether it is the capital of the Kingdom of Leiden or the free city of Crossmaria here, there is no exception.

The so-called freedom for everyone in the Free City was something that happened a long time ago when this place had not yet developed and needed construction.

Although Crossmaria still emphasizes freedom and autonomy, it is only for citizens who live within the city walls and have obtained citizenship.

In essence, this free city is no different from other metropolises.

The slums are the best proof.

All there is is poverty, and only the lowest of the lowest live there.

Neither the Grand Governor who rules Crossmaria nor the citizens would ever approve of the existence of these scoundrels.

Having a trading partner in the slums, it seems that Lalge An is not a person who is content with his lot.

But after all, she is a subordinate of Helena, the slum lord of the royal capital of Leiden, so it is only natural to think this way.

As for Filia, she probably has no interest in the slums.

Filia nodded slightly in response to what Lalge An said, saying that it was indeed very useful while carefully observing the wear and tear of the gauntlet.

"I'm telling you in advance that what you bought is the most expensive thing, so I hope you don't even complain."

He sighed and said to Filia.

Money is something that is always needed.

The deposit I got from Frodo has been almost used up now. This speed of spending money is a bit outrageous.

In response to this complaint, Filia countered with her own theory:

"What? It's understandable that ordinary people dislike luxury, but not spending money on necessary things is no longer a virtue of moderation, but a vice of stinginess."

After considering all the above, she seemed to have come to her own conclusion. She raised her eyebrows and said, "So, Murphy, you are the one who doesn't even know what the things you buy are for."

"I have to refute you on this point, Filia. What should I say?"

While sorting out the things he was carrying, he carefully considered his words and spoke.

"As for weapons, besides repairing the sword you usually use, you also need to prepare a spare dagger. After that, there's oil and adhesive. These things can be used even when camping."

Filia shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly, as if to say, "There's really nothing I can do about this guy," as if to show off her shopping skills.

How can I put it? It's really hard to understand.

Why does this guy act like he's a common-sense person?

With this thought in mind, he shrugged his shoulders and touched the two swords hanging on his waist to determine their placement in order to ensure that he would not take the wrong weapon during the battle.

One of them is the one he uses frequently, and the other is a family heirloom of the Reinhardt family.

Because the hotel and other places cannot be trusted for the time being, I followed Filia's request and brought the sword with me.

But is it really necessary to carry this thing with you?

Apart from adding burden to the body, it should be meaningless.

Moreover, I feel that even if I throw it on the street, it will probably be treated as ordinary useless garbage.

——Dong...Dong...Dong...

Amidst this meaningless question and answer session, the bells announcing the arrival of morning echoed all around.

At the same time, the guards began to activate the mechanism and open the door.

With a loud noise, a large number of people came and went in and out of the city, and the noisy sound hit the ears.

"—I've been waiting for a long time, but it doesn't really count. After all, the second bell hasn't rung yet."

As she spoke, the woman in a loose gray robe and a gray wizard's hat raised her hand.

Frodo Volgograd, the deceased magician and Candice's master.

At the same time, he was also the one who occupied the body of his disciple.

Then, next to her, slowly following from behind, with her golden hair swaying, was the figure of Aimee Castina.

"Everything is ready. I swear I won't be so slow."

She was dressed like a traveler—equipped with gear that wouldn't hinder her movement, and she had a sword at her waist.

It is not the holy sword, and she is not qualified to get that sword yet.

——Dong...Dong...

As the second bell rang, the four of them gathered in front of the gate of the Free City.

-------------------------------------

"——Please wait a moment. I don't know the common sense of entrustment, but isn't it a bit too harsh to require an oath as a condition? It's not fair."

Aimee Castina's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on the field, and the audience fell silent instantly.

Haha, I knew it.

You will definitely stick to this place. After all, you are that kind of guy. You know this place very well.

oath.

Those were the words a magician used when concluding important contracts with some higher being, or perhaps the principle of the world, or something similar.

It is said that the first lesson for all magicians is to learn the oath, and the second lesson is to use magic.

They must first sign a contract with a higher being before they can begin to use magic.

Because that is the price that must be paid for using magic - the specific price is not clear.

It is said that even the magicians themselves were not aware of it, but that was indeed the first oath they made.

This chapter is the 6th chapter updated today, and it is the last of the dozen or so chapters I owe.

I admire myself very much for having paid back all of that.
