The Academy Leader is too Strong - Chapter 77
Only Krnovel
A day has passed since I submitted the bracelet to the Lofty Church. Fortunately, I received a reply from the Lofty Church saying that I could participate in the auction.
“I guess the bracelet was worth it.”
“I guess it’s because it’s a desert religion that even they can’t easily see.”
Winter said with a soft smile. Certainly, unlike other religions, desert religions had a small sample.
“I never thought there would be this much interest in other religions.”
Modern religions are not very interested in other people’s religions. But the religion here was a little different. His personality was strangely different.
“If you look closely, it’s all connected.”
“It’s all connected?”
Winter told a funny story.
“Religion refers to a culture that worships and reveres divine beings. In this case, the divine beings are actually people who existed in ancient times.”
“A real person?”
Winter continued talking excitedly.
“In ancient times, there lived powerful beings such as giants, fairies, dragons, divine beasts, etc. When their status rose and they entered the realm of spirits, they became immortal and gods.”
“It’s that kind of mechanism.”
“mail… … . what?”
“No. So.”
Winter asked at the appearance of the unfamiliar word. I waved my hand roughly.
Winter tilted her head and continued talking.
“In ancient times, the continents were all united. A huge disaster called a meteorite struck and split the continents apart. Before that, they were all connected, so they had many connections.”
I had a vague idea about Anaye while researching it. The ancient era was a tribal society. There were many invasions, and there were many allies.
“There are many cases where the history that is not in the data of that god is contained in the data of other gods. “You can’t be blind to other religions.”
“I see. Anyway, I’m glad the bracelet got registered.”
Winter nodded briskly. After becoming an auctioneer, Winter regained her composure and returned to her daily life.
I tried to deliver the news to Warden, but for some reason, Warden was nowhere to be seen.
“Hello.”
“… … .”
Suddenly, someone entered the chapel.
The person who came in boldly without even the courtesy of knocking was definitely not a member of the church.
“What.”
The one who came in was the famous Berenice. David greeted Berenice with a trembling expression.
“No really, what is it?”
She smiled brightly and headed towards the sofa where Davide was lying.
David was dumbfounded as he looked at Warden hanging on Berenine’s shoulder like a burden.
“Get out of the way. “Sit down.”
“What is Warden?”
Berenice shrugged his shoulders. Warden was hanging around as if he was unconscious. I suspected he might be dead.
“Is there a problem?”
“Then you don’t have any?”
“No? Aren’t you glad you’re alive?”
When he said that, David was at a loss for words.
Come to think of it, if it was Verenin’s body that was touched, it was fortunate that he was still alive. That is, if Warden had touched it first.
“Why are you tormenting the child again?”
The scene where Warden touches someone first was unexpected.
He was a guy who liked risks, but he knew that his life was precious. He wasn’t the kind of fool who would jump into a natural disaster like Bereninche.
“I ask you to drink, but you keep throwing out.”
“… … .”
Davide urgently checked Warden’s condition. His forehead was seriously swollen and protruded like a dolphin’s snout.
“Takbam?”
As expected, it was a wound caused by a nightshade. I wondered if it would have shocked my brain if it had swelled to this extent.
“It’s not a concussion or anything, is it?”
“You don’t die like that. “If I die, it will be because I was trained to be weak.”
That wasn’t something the guy who hit his forehead with a hammer should say.
“Come out and have a seat.”
“Oh my.”
Davide spoke bluntly but made room for us. Winter secretly welcomed the sudden appearance of Berenice.
Warden, who had become a cold burden, was invisible.
“Winter. Excuse me, but can I get you some tea?”
Berenine also spoke very gently to Winter. She even used the word “please.” It seemed like she really liked Winter.
“Main subject.”
“You have an impatient personality. “Rumor has it that you are participating in this religious auction?”
Berenice grumbled at Davide, who persistently demanded the main point, and then something that could be considered confidential came out of his mouth.
Davide’s gaze turned to Winter. Her face turned pale with snow-white skin and she shook her head.
At first glance, the sight of him spreading out his hands and shaking them desperately seemed pitiful.
“The wolf girl told me.”
The culprit was Canis. It was something I had become accustomed to and had not considered. That Canis was not so tight-lipped.
But the strange thing is that Canis avoids Berenices in a creepy way.
“You won’t notice it?”
“Do you think I won’t even be able to catch a guy like that?”
“uh… … . “It was like that, wasn’t it?”
Berenice’s eyes sparkled. I shrugged my shoulders. It seemed like some unexpected accident had occurred.
It must be Berenice’s fault.
“There is something you absolutely must buy at this auction.”
“… … “They said the auction items were a secret.”
“It’s not easy to keep your mouth shut when faced with money and power.”
He calmly mentioned illegality. Davide’s eyes turned to Winter. Winter, who had said that illegal activities were not allowed, became completely dumb.
“It’s okay.”
I had a rough idea. Berenine is looking for help to get the item completely.
“So you want help getting it?”
“There is that too. “Please let me know if you find something good based on that unknown knowledge.”
Bereninche had noticed David’s knowledge when he was killing the Guardian. He seemed to think that he had the ability to find out such information, so he calmly asked for information this time as well.
“It’s definitely annoying to have to confront you.”
David, who had been thinking deeply, nodded slightly. If there is competition in the auction, the expenses will increase.
If there was any overlap, it was okay to reach an agreement in advance. More than anything, he didn’t want to see Berenice’s reaction to having the item he wanted taken away.
“What about the catalog?”
“here.”
As if waiting for Davide to speak, Berenice took out a piece of paper from her pocket. It was a list of items coming up for this auction.
Davide read the list one by one. Soon, a fierce smile appeared on his face.
“We also have something we want. “Let’s do it on the condition that we don’t touch that.”
“good. Of course, it must be solid information. “If I don’t make a profit by reselling it, I have to be prepared, right?”
“That should be left to your ability to sell the product. “The items I pointed out are definitely good.”
A plot that comes about naturally. It was a bit annoying, but it was stupid to refuse when it could be solved so easily.
Berenice’s proposal was beneficial, but there was nothing bad about it. A few things that looked desirable also caught my eye.
“There was this too.”
Davide found one item that caught his eye.
“The winner of that auction will be Duhane?”
Berenice smiled charmingly. If it went as planned, it could be said to be Duhane’s evil beast.

“Seniors.”
“why.”
I took Winter with me and headed to the mall. A minimum of courtesy was required at gatherings of religious people on the island.
“Where are we going now?”
“To get your priest’s clothes.”
I knew this would happen, so I asked for Winter’s priest’s clothes in advance. I planned to take Winter with me no matter what happened.
“Aha. Finally, I received my priestly robes… … Huh?”
“Why again?”
“How do I receive that? “I need to measure and fit it.”
“I asked Canis and he told me everything.”
“… … ?”
I also understood Winter’s puzzled face. As I was passing by, I was thinking about fitting a winter priest’s uniform, but Kanis wrote down all the measurements.
“That… … how?”
“I don’t know. “Didn’t he come into your dorm room while you were sleeping?”
How on earth do you know that? To be honest, I was deeply concerned about whether I should report it to the Imperial Knights.
Winter’s expression became more serious.
“Want some?”
“no.”
I offered Winter what I was eating, whose face was becoming increasingly gloomy. She shook her head and refused.
Dried garlic made by asking the grocery store. It’s a shame that the garlic flavor has disappeared a lot, but the unique spicy flavor is still there and I like the soft texture like steamed potatoes.
“… … “How did they know my measurements?”
“Well, that’s fine. But that little devil would also know Soloven’s measurements, right?”
“What about Senior Soloven?”
“I don’t know.”
After chatting for a while, we arrived at a workshop that we had become familiar with. I entered without hesitation, but Winter hesitated for a moment.
“You came… … .”
It may be because of the memory of destroying the store with a sacred axe. As Winter entered, the owner’s face darkened.
A strange relationship that touches on each other’s trauma. I thought it wasn’t bad.
“What about the stuff?”
“we are here.”
The owner threw away a neatly folded piece of clothing. She snatched it up with style and put it on Winter.
Unlike me, who wore it like a coat, Winter wore all the buttons. I think it might look pretty stuffy, but it’s better than I thought.
“It’s surprising how well it suits him, perhaps because he’s pure white.”
“Yes?”
Unlike my priest’s robe, which was all black, Winter’s priest’s robe was mostly white. Winter, who was completely absorbed in the priest’s robe that she had received for the first time in her life, looked at me and my master as if evaluating it.
I was worried that it might not suit a priest’s outfit because it is a small and cute image. The religious atmosphere was well expressed.
“I like white skin.”
It suited me better than I thought. But my eyes were drawn more to Winter’s childishly fond face.
“I’ll bring the rest of the kids.”
“… … “You know that kid’s size, but the other kids don’t know?”
“I’m sorry, but I was also tipped off.”
The owner looked suspicious, but I was proud. Seeing the owner’s face turn into a sneer, it seemed like he was trying to tease him.
“What about weapons?”
“Is he that light? He’s progressing steadily.”
“Thank you for your consideration. Then I will go.”
I decided to get out before that. She briefly said hello and took Winter out, who was staring at the mirror.
“How about the priest’s attire?”
“very. very. great. really.”
“Okay then.”
Winter smiled as if she was infinitely happier. I patted her head a few times. She nodded silently.
“hmm.”
Now that I think about it, it was rare for Winter to be happy about receiving something. The only things I can remember are the priest’s robe and the pen.
“Other than religion.”
“yes?”
“Is there anything you like?”
I got curious. I was curious about what Winter liked.
Winter seemed a little taken aback by my words, then began to think deeply.
“I do not know.”
“Is that so?”
I nodded calmly. I shrugged my shoulders at Winter’s awkward laugh.
Winter was surprisingly uninteresting. He also did this in the game when he appeared as a religion-related NPC.
‘It’s strange.’
He never spoke about anything other than religious topics, and he didn’t even respond to anyone who wasn’t from the same religious profession.
To be considered such a character, the current Winter was quite petit bourgeois.
“You just have to figure it out slowly.”
He patted Winter on the shoulder.
