Blessed By The Goddess (1)
Han-bin and his party first visited the Frelsis mansion.
Was it because it was the residence of the countryside lord?
The building looked pretty rugged and smaller than most mansions.
Looking at the mansion at the front gate, Ryu Han-bin muttered.
“Are you sure they’d invite us in? They’ve never seen us before.”
Artis answered back.
“Don’t worry. This is pretty common.”
The number of Hunters wandering in search of dungeons had increased significantly, and the trade volume of the Latna continent had risen considerably as a result.
Due to that, even villages needed at least one or two inns.
Nevertheless, not all villages or territories had adequate accommodation.
Without a dungeon, there would be no Hunters. Without Hunters, the inns would be forced to close down.
In such events, the travelers had to come up with ways to find shelter.
Ordinary people used to look for temples of the six Goddesses.
There had to be at least one temple in decent villages.
It might be a little inconvenient, but they could avoid sleeping outside.
Hunters who were confident in their skills often visited the castle of the local lord instead.
Lords normally didn’t reject Hunters.
He would be able to gather information through them and use them to solve the land’s problems.
Artis spoke with confidence.
“I’m sure they’ll welcome us, especially this time.”
They were not ordinary Hunters. Their party was composed of two legendary Valtara warriors, a level 72 Magic Swordsman and a level 71 Mage.
The two were not real Valtara warriors, but their skills were remarkable enough to pass as the Sword King’s relatives.
There was no reason to reject such powerful individuals in that time of turmoil where monsters appeared during the night.
Indeed, Artis’s predictions weren’t wrong.
“Huh! I can’t believe you high-ranking Hunters visited our land!”
No, it was beyond their expectations.
Baron Frelsis, the lord of the castle, came to the main gate to personally greet Han-bin’s group.
That wasn’t all.
He even guided them into the mansion himself.
“I’m surprised, Valtara warriors… I’ve only heard about you in stories.”
Baron Frelsis, Tezarn, who led the way, was impressed by Ryu Han-bin and Kibie.
Artis bowed his head with regret.
“We were a little surprised. We didn’t expect you to come out in person…”
Of course, they expected to be welcomed, but it seemed a little too much.
Latna’s custom dictated that the head of the family should greet guests in the reception room.
What he was doing was the job of a deacon.
Tezarn grinned.
“Paul, our Deacon, is still sleeping.”
Ryu Han-bin was bewildered.
‘What are you talking about? The sun is up, and the butler is still sleeping?’
But when he heard the Baron’s next words, he understood.
“If he doesn’t sleep enough during the day, he can’t prepare for the night.”
Frelsis knights and soldiers patrolled the territory every night to combat the monsters’ appearances.
They needed to sleep during the day.
The butler and servants were in the same boat.
Latna’s noble servants also acted as guards.
The servants of Baron Frelsis were well-trained in combat.
In particular, Paul was a Hunter who had a great reputation before retiring. His level was higher than ordinary knights.
‘That’s right, the butlers here are retired Hunters, right?’
All of them were sent out as combatants because of the chaos on the land.
As a result, only a few maids stayed behind in the Frelsis mansion.
Tezarn continued to guide the party to the drawing-room.
“Can you wait here for a moment? I’ll tell my maids to serve tea for you.”
They didn’t come there for a cup of tea.
Artis brought up business.
“Putting that aside, can we see Leon Hart first?”
Fortunately, Tezarn was a quick-witted person.
“I thought that was the case.”
Their team, composed of Hunters over level 70, was an incredible party that hung around in the Four Prohibited Areas.
Why would such a strong group visit rural territories?
Frelsis assumed they came for Leon Hart.
“Please wait for a minute. He’s sleeping, too.”

A few minutes later, a blond man in a black coat entered the drawing-room.
As soon as he saw the group, he questioned them with a delighted look.
“Are you the Hunters who called me?”
Ryu Han-bin surveyed him with the Guideline.
[Race: Human. Spiritualist. Lv. 112.]
‘Level 112. It’s much higher than expected.’
He heard that Leon Hart was level 104 when he was chosen to be blessed.
‘You weren’t just playing around since then, huh?’
Now that he had regained his youth, his level must’ve advanced pretty fast.
Ryu Han-bin gave Leon Hart a closer look.
He looked slightly tired due to sleep deprivation.
He, too, had to switch to a nocturnal lifestyle to prepare against the monsters.
But he didn’t show any discomfort towards their disturbance.
They were in a situation in which the troops were regrettable.
He couldn’t be offended because so many talented people over level 70 visited him.
Artis and Effir greeted him first.
“My name is Artis Venetian., a level 71 Mage.”
“I’m Effir Venetian, a Level 72 Magic Swordsman.”
Ryu Han-bin and Kibie also introduced themselves bluntly.
“Felard Bean.”
