I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 252

"Leon, did you hear him?

Is it okay to talk about it with Arus, Carlos? If so, my answer will be yes. "

"That's right. Looks like the Arus guy did a hell of a thing again. He really does something unexpected from next to next."

"That's right. If you think you've invaded the Ulk realm, you've succeeded in bringing the Titan Warrior to your side and cutting the Ulk realm almost undamaged. Not only that, but also the material of the nine-tailed sword, which led to the acquisition of the lost phantom metal. However, it seems that it will not be over by itself, Ars."

"If you think about what you're going to do when you throw a round cut of Ulk territory at my brother's part-time job... Enter the woods and fight the immortals. He fought demons in the woods last year, didn't he? Do you have to fight something all the time?

"No, I don't think so, Carlos. I think the essence of Arus is far from battle. But that might also make this difficult."

"I guess so. I didn't expect the church to perform a ritual of cleansing and become a holy knight.... I didn't think my knight would be the Holy Knight. This is completely unexpected."

"That's right. I didn't think about it. Rather, it would be important for the archbishop of the church to come all the way to Fontana territory to perform a ritual of purification. It's true that the last ritual of immortality and purification dates back more than a hundred years."

Something I always think about.

My sister married a monstrous man.

I can't really predict what to do.

That's what I think about my brother-in-law, Ars, who married my sister, Lilina.

The forest stretching north of the Barca Knight realm is dangerous.

I knew that well.

But I didn't think there were immortals there.

The immortal possesses unclean magic and purifies everything around them.

If immortals emerge, it will be difficult if appropriate action is not taken.

Filth is an infection.

What is filthy to the immortal becomes a new immortal, and strikes the living and the living.

With this infinite increase, no matter how many people there are, one city will easily perish.

Such immortals appeared.

Even so, it is surprising, but only three of the Arus who encountered it defeated the immortals.

Besides, it comes with the premise that it is originally a dragon.

The story quickly spread around.

But the price was never cheap.

Arus-sama was badly wounded by the attack of the immortal, and his body was defiled.

I had to wonder if Ars' fate would run out for this.

But it didn't.

At an incredible speed, Arus performed a ritual of cleansing.

Speaking of the ritual of purity, in recent years it has only meant "ritual".

There were no immortals for a long time.

In modern times, the ritual of cleansing is only to the extent that the royal family and the great aristocracy give up large sums of money to the church and show off their financial resources.

But the mysterious rituals of the church did seem powerful.

Arus-sama's filthy magic and flesh have been restored to normal.

How much did Ars give to the church?

I feel like I'm going to pass out just by asking about the amount.

"It's been a long time since immortals appeared. However, it is important information even if we only know that it goes deep into the woods. It turns out it's still a place where dangerous things lurk."

"Yes, you will need to be very careful. But what shocked me even more was Ars' Holy Knight Certification. Certainly, Ars' sword, the iron slashing sword, was transformed into the Holy Sword by the ritual of purification."

"That's right. It seems to happen very rarely. However, the Holy Sword was born by the ritual of cleansing only among the events of the past. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"The Holy Sword... Bishop Paul tells me that when you perform a purification ritual on a special object, such as a sword made of extremely special metal or a magical sword forged by a spirit, it becomes a holy sword."

"Is that what Arus's sword is?

"Yes, that's right. Alus-sama's Grand Barca is made of fangs from a newborn baby pig. The sword of a family treasure that would otherwise need to be grown is one that the descendants of the family with the sword will grow and raise with magic for generations to come. But Gran Barca was different. Apparently, Arus brought magic to Valkyrie, the beast he hatched, to grow rapidly from the state of the small sword to the present one."

Use the magic of the Servitor, huh? But can that be a condition for the Holy Sword?

"I don't know exactly. However, the growth sword, which does not mix with the magic of generations, and is raised with almost the same magic, may be similar in nature to the sword forged by the Spirit. Besides, that Gran Barca is still a few years old. In other words, it is still growing, and it is where the mysterious power of the church, the ritual of purification, was focused."

"... I see. Can you think of it as a transformation to the Holy Sword because it was in the growth stage? But then...."

"Perhaps Carlos is right. Assuming that the previous discussion is correct, it is highly likely that Arus will be able to further craft the Holy Sword. That must be why the Church recognized Arus as a knight."

"Understood. Then the Arus will have a close relationship with the church."

"Yes. Originally, Arus had a very close relationship with Bishop Paul of the Church. And in this case, the names of Arcus and Bishop Paul spread not only to Fontana, but to the entire church."

"Impact on the whole church... In other words, it can be said that it is the whole country. You think everything around you is quiet, Leon?

"No way, it's impossible. Even if the Holy Knight is a famous title, it is worth using. They'll start moving soon."

"All right, call Ars here, Leon. I'll tell him what happened."

"Yes, sir, Carlos."

A knight receives the ritual of cleansing.

That alone can be said to be a major event.

But more than that, something amazing happened.

The slash iron sword Grambalka wore by Ars at the time of the purification ceremony turned into a holy sword.

The birth of the Holy Sword.

That's exactly what happens in the story.

According to the old legend, the first king and others also possessed the Holy Sword.

The same homogeneity was brought about by Ars.

The Archbishop who performed the ceremony said that he immediately certified Arus as a Holy Knight.

The reason for this is that it may produce more holy swords.

Even so, just because he was certified as a Holy Knight does not mean that Ars' position belongs to the church.

He merely acknowledged that he was an essential knight for the Church.

However, for Arus, who is a peasant, the Church's guarantee of identity has the effect of further boosting Carlos's knighthood.

Nobody will ever call Arus-sama just a peasant again.

But I really don't think I should do a lot of things with a little distracted.

I laughed at what my brother-in-law would do next without feeling completely unpredictable.
