How a Former Pastor Lives in Another World

Goblin gives generously (2)

The Dokse Nuns have been famous as a non-tufa convent since ancient times.

In fact, it is only natural, because the place where the Ax Sisters were established in the first place is right in front of Outland, a monster-infested area.

Since there are a lot of monsters around, the monastery inevitably specializes in catching monsters.

This trend began in earnest after the canonization of Saint Elizabeth.

As the Dokse Sisters, a small local convent, produced saints, pilgrims came from all over the region and received donations.

“When you produce a female saint, strangely, you get married and pilgrims come to pray for a safe delivery. Our saint’s nickname was Elizabeth of the Double Axe.”

As the number of female pilgrims increased, more and more people inevitably looked for moisturizers in the dry western environment, and it seems that goblin oil was provided for them.

The response was better than expected, leading to the development of cosmetics, and it became the main product of the Dokse Sisters?

“Until then, oil was only used for lighting fires, but if goblins also use it, would you say it can be used as medicine?”

“The idea of squeezing goblin oil and using it as a moisturizer is scary.”

Anyway, this job requires a lot of goblins.

In other words, hunting in Outland is necessary periodically.

“But… is this how you normally hunt goblins?”

Ray said as he looked at the carriages spread out in front of him.

Beyond the Melpasa Gate and into the Outland wilderness.

In this place where all there is is sand and dry land, dozens of carriages are lined up.

The sight of large carriages lined up, led by two pack horses three times larger than the horses used as war horses, is spectacular, but I don’t know what this has to do with goblin hunting.

‘Why on earth did you put up a cannon?’

The carriages are different from regular transport carriages.

It was a war wagon equipped with a steel plate frame and even a cannon, as if it were ready to go to war at any moment.

Among them, there was one particularly large carriage.

No, can we call this a carriage?

Six cannons, led not by horses but by monster cows. The oxcart with the nuns riding on it is like a land battleship running on land.

「Melpasa Cream Combination」

Carriage owners from various upper classes gathered to exchange greetings to see if the Ax Sisters were the only group of carriages.

“Director, it’s been a while since I saw you.”

“Are you here? Director!”

Union members bow their heads respectfully at the appearance of Director Maria.

My back was bent 90 degrees, as if I was greeting a mafia godfather.

“Mr. Perez from Goblina Care. Mr. Malone from Crispy Goblin. Welcome to this year’s event.”

“We are always able to bury our lives thanks to the director.”

“That’s right. That’s right.”

“By the way… Hexkal from Bling Bling Cream didn’t show up this time either.”

When mentioning an invisible person among union members, member Perez stuck out his tongue.

“After he became independent, he stopped appearing at gatherings or annual events. Anyway, people’s judgment got messed up.”

“It doesn’t even appear in the Poomatsi, so I don’t know where they get the goblins.”

“Mr. Hexkal will take care of it.”

Director Maria’s kind smile made the union members glance at her and then change the topic.

“By the way, this isn’t the face I saw today? Are you new? I can’t see some of the nuns.”

The bald man with a grim look tilted his head when he saw Ray and his group brought by Director Maria.

“Mr. Perez, let me introduce myself. This is Father Ray, who was dispatched by the church.”

“Ah~ Father… no, priest?!”

Perez’s eyes widen in shock.

It was worth it.

The sacrament of ordination to priests in a religious order can only be completed through the official process of the church.

While serving as a deacon at a local cathedral, he is ordained only after receiving a recommendation from a priest and approval from the local bishop.

Usually this period is at least 10 years. No matter how much the boy in front of me ministered from a young age, he was too young to be ordained a priest.

“You are an armed priest belonging to an armed organization.”

“Uhm… Anyway…”

He couldn’t hide his feelings that Ray was too young.

“I am a priest appointed directly by the Central Church, so don’t worry about it. Otherwise, do you think I brought in just anyone?”

“Ha, haha… that can’t be possible.”

A middle-aged man retreating. Director Maria said, patting Ray on the shoulder.

“It is not easy for someone like you, who is so outstanding at such a young age, to be recognized. Please understand.”

“Oh, of course. But… I’m not sure if we can really do this.”

“Hehe, I’m not going to ask you beginners to hunt down goblins yourself. That’s because we have brothers and sisters here who are experts.”

It is no different from what Director Maria entrusted to Ray and his group in goblin hunting.

A choir that utilizes the power of hymn.

You may be wondering why on earth hymns are needed for goblin hunting, but looking at the drums and musical instruments on the giant oxcart, it looks like they are sincere.

“Jenny is an expert, so it won’t be difficult if you do as she tells you.”

Ray, who returned to the giant oxcart, joined the group who were fiddling with and inspecting the instruments.

“I wonder what this is doing. Everyone practiced their instruments, right?”

“If it’s lute practice.”

“Since you have the power of praise, I was wondering when I would use it. The time has finally come!”

After the preparation process was over, Ray and the others got on the oxcart.

It was the moment when the goblin hunting process began.

***

After the Ax Sisters’ Elizabeth Cosmetics became a huge hit, businesses using goblin oil and meat became popular in Melpasa City.

However, no matter how goblins are, they are monsters that must be hunted at the risk of one’s life.

A cream combination was created to provide a steady supply of goblins, and that is the Melpasa Cream combination.

“Can’t we just farm it…?”

“What kind of crazy talk is that?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ray.

No, what else is wrong?

“They say it’s a useful monster. Leather and meat are useful, and oil is even more useful.”

Since they are good at breeding, wouldn’t it be a good idea to try farming?

“Haha, Ray’s younger brother seems smart, but his common sense is strangely lacking.”

“Ray, have you ever seen people farming monsters?”

“Well… isn’t there?”

“I understand that you can’t learn it in the countryside, but think that there is a reason why others don’t do it.”

That was it.

Medieval people do not lack intelligence compared to modern people.

In the end, modern people have learned knowledge accumulated over thousands of years, but they are not smarter than medieval people.

“First of all, it is illegal to breed monsters. Although they are used in places like the Colosseum for one-time use for entertainment, they must be killed after use.”

The permitting process is also difficult.

The next reason was explained by Ophelia.

“And we should also consider the appearance of Named!”

“Named?”

“If monsters are not cleaned regularly, individuals with exceptionally high potential will appear. Special individuals such as Orc generals and alpha kobolds.”

“And the probability of a named item appearing increases as the number increases.”

The purpose of periodic monster hunting is to reduce the population and prevent the appearance of named special entities.

“That too.”

What kind of crazy person would think of breeding and farming monsters?

“We’re leaving!”

As the chat was coming to an end, the Cream Guild sounded the horn to announce their departure.

“Let’s go!”

Wooo!

With the sound of a whip, the animals began pulling the cart.

Dozens of carriages race across a wilderness mixed with dust and wind.

Because it is a carriage made up of horses and oxen, its speed does not seem that fast at first glance.

However, the dust raised by the ruthless iron beasts led by pack horses and oxen created a dizzying spectacle everywhere.

“Now, let’s begin! Father Ray! Sister Mary!”

The center of the carriages. The top of the giant oxcart is like a small stage.

Yes, the stage was right.

Because this was a stage to amplify the ＜Power of Praise＞.

“I leave the selection of music to the priest.”

“Whoa…”

Ray cleared his throat and began to sing a hymn.

thud! Thump thump!

thud! Thump thump!

Then the nuns beat their drums to the beat.

The opening of the hymn was announced by the loud sound of drums, so as not to be drowned out by the harsh sound of cows and horses kicking the floor.

“Scream!”

The subjects protected by the power of praise are horses and cows. To be exact, living things around you give you protection from sin.

Protection is granted through the power of hymn, and another protection is granted each time the song selection changes.

Every time that happened, the carriages’ speed became more fierce and unstoppable.

It was a wild race where no compromise could be found for those filled with the desire to obtain goblin oil, regardless of the cruel rays of the sun and the sky shaking with heat.

“Ahead! A group of goblins found!”

“More than twenty people!”

At that time, the group of goblins that the observer had discovered began to appear beyond.

They must be goblins out hunting to find food.

“Kick?”

When the Outland goblins saw the beasts sprinting away, raising a cloud of harsh dust, they immediately started talking and running away.

“Connect nets 3, 4, and 5!”

At that time, Director Maria gave instructions loudly, unlike her usual soft voice.

Following her instructions, a trumpet sounded as a signal, and soon the carriage crews were pulling out nets.

“Install it!”

Nets exchanged with each other. Once they were connected, they were pushed by the wind and spread out like a fishing net.

“Kihahahahahaha!”

“Hit it in!”

The goblins desperately ran away, but they were no faster than the carriage.

The carts connected to the net cleverly wrapped the goblins within the net’s range, and soon they collided and became entangled in the net.

“Keeeeek!”

“Kyaaak!”

The goblins caught in the net struggled, but the more they tried, the more they got tangled in the net.

Soon the crew of the carriage pulled the net and caught a bunch of goblins who could not move, and they poured into the luggage compartment.

“Good start!”

A cream combination that captures goblins in chunks like this and ultimately loads them into a giant oxcart.

This is the goblin hunting that has been done in Melpasa for a long time.

“No, it’s not some kind of fishing boat…”

Catching a goblin like sweeping it with a pitchfork.

It’s more efficient than you think, but why?

What comes to mind about modern people destroying the natural ecosystem?

After capturing goblins in this way several times, the oxcart soon contained over a hundred goblins.

“Umm…”

“What’s wrong, sister?”

Ray, who stopped singing the hymn and came down to take a break, saw Jenny’s subtle expression.

“No, it seems like I’m less caught than usual.”

“······This?”

The oxcart is loaded with at least a hundred goblins. If you do this a few times, you will quickly fill up to 1,000.

“How many union members are there? Even if we can’t do that, we need to kill 2,000 to get an appropriate distribution.”

“Can’t I just go further?”

“If you go further from here, you’re in the Orc area. It’s better not to clash with the Orcs.”

It seems that the monsters in Outland also have clear territorial divisions.

“Well, I’m going to go around the area around here and see if there are any more goblins.”

bang!

It was then. The oxcart shook violently as if it had been hit by something.

“what’s the matter!”

“It’s an orc!”

Ophelia, who was waiting outside, pointed beyond. It was a terrifying sight, but the attack actually came from that direction.

“It’s not even a cannon. What did the orcs do?”

“It’s a spell! The orcs used a spell!”

As soon as Aaron spoke, there were green bullets flying through the air and raining down.

These were catapults that looked like they had been set on fire by cleansing the skull, and they were raining down on the wagons of the Cream Guild.

And ominous shadows appear beyond the ridge.

With footsteps echoing from afar, an orc riding a wolf points his finger at the Crimean Alliance.

“Ningan. Strike it.”

Then the Orc riders rushed at them at high speed.

The oxcart delivers the news with an urgent trumpet sound.

“It’s an orc!”

“The orcs are coming!”

“Damn it, Okrani!”

Ray quickly climbed onto the oxcart and saw the orcs approaching. The power of praise must be used to give buffs for battle.

“Where is Sister Mary?!”

“Ugh! You were just injured in an attack!”

The nun who said that was also bleeding profusely from her forehead, as if she had hit her head. However, she ignited her fighting spirit by grabbing the ax that was provided in the oxcart.

“We need your praise to fight those evil evil spirits! Go up and sing our praises!”

“All right.”

Ray hurriedly climbed onto the stage of the oxcart and grabbed the lute.

Battle is imminent. The protection that Ray gives will become a divine grace that protects everyone here.

“The beat is ringing!!”

(Recommended BGM: Spikey cars)

thud! Thump thump!

thud! Thump thump!

Ray glared at the Orc riders who were becoming clearer.

They rushed forward without stopping, and a major collision was sure to occur.

Ray strummed his lute.

“Fight against the devils! Brother free from sin!”

“Fight with courage against the evil enemy soldiers over there!”

“The day of judgment and destruction stands before my eyes!”

“It will come soon!”

The power of the hymn that bursts from Ray’s mouth resonates with the axe nuns’ chorus and the sound of the drums.

Ray lit the end of the lute with ＜Power of Sanctification＞.

Quaaa!!

The pouring flames burned passionately, like those of a red johns guitarist from the turn of the century.

The sound of drums ringing.

With a sharply torn lute.

The blazing fire resonates with a frenzied explosion.

“Director! If we continue like this, there will be a head-on collision!”

Despite the union member’s fearful report, Director Maria held onto the ax as she watched Ray play the flaming lute.

“Pick up the speed.”

“······!”

Director Maria gives orders with a determined will.

At this, the union members sounded their trumpets as if they had made up their minds.

“Speed up!!”

“At maximum acceleration! Full speed! Forward!!”

“

Two groups running madly at each other with the sound of thunder ringing.

“”Glorious glory Estella!””

“”Glorious glory Estella!””

“”Glorious glory Estelle! We will win soon!”

The music that fueled this madness did not stop until the moment of collision.

“Kyaaa!”

The wolf riding the orcs jumped in without hesitation and grabbed the horse leading the carriage.

Qarring!

A carriage overturns when its balance is lost.

These clashes occurred here and there.

“You dirty beast!”

But union members were not left alone. At the moment of collision, they threw axes and other things to knock down running orcs and wolves, and in some cases, they fired cannons to blow off their upper bodies.

The head-on collision between the two without any hesitation turned the wilderness into a whirlwind of madness.

The Orcs brandished huge weapons and targeted the union members inside the carriage, and the carriage driver and union members also took up weapons and fought back.

In the chaos of battle cries, clashing weapons, and fragments of crashing carriages, the most dazzling beings were the effeminate nuns.

“Let’s kill those beasts!”

“Smelly things that can’t be used as meat or oil!”

“Die! Die!!”

The nuns chased the orcs with harsh and merciless ax attacks, like hounds released from heaven.

In a battle filled with blood and dust under the wilderness sun, ax blades emit an eerie light.

Orcs.

In Melpasa, the base city of Outland, they are the hostile forces of the Fire God and have constantly been fighting with each other in death and death.

Didn’t the legend of Elizabeth with the twin axes also arise from the orcs who invaded the city?

“The only good orc is a dead orc.”

Following the instructions of Saint Elizabeth, the Ax Sisters are experts in orc combat who have been studying how to best kill orcs for generations.

“Aim for their feet! The wolves are speeding so they are defenseless!”

“Sol Estella!!”

A fierce hand-to-hand combat between the orcs and the battle nuns began.

Breaking, hitting, cutting and smashing.

Indeed, a professional in combat. The power of the Dokse Sisters who produced saints was great.

“Director Maria! Union members are being pushed out!”

“There are too many orcs!”

But other union members did not do that.

“······Chit.”

At that time, Director Maria saw a strange natural phenomenon in one eye.

Quaaa!!

A tornado accompanied by a sandstorm was approaching this way.

This is a natural phenomenon that occurs frequently in the wilderness of Outland.

“Run towards that tornado!”

“Huh?! And then we all die!”

“Graze at an angle and drop the orcs! This one is heavier, so it’s okay!

Cream combinations run in unison according to the director’s instructions.

The Orcs chase them and a full-scale chase begins.

“Uh, huh? Tornado?

“Ray! It’s dangerous, come down!”

“No! You can’t stop singing now!”

Ray planted his body firmly on the stage, played the lute, and sang a hymn.

The burning flame of the torch clearly shows that he has not yet stopped praising.

“Kwaaa!”

The orc jumped towards Ray.

The moment the guy hanging on the oxcart was about to chop Ray with a crude axe…

“Where!”

thud! Ophelia’s shield that knocks down orcs with a heavy impact.

“Kwaaa!”

The orc’s screams, falling and rolling on the floor, rang out mournfully.

“Ray! I will protect you, so keep singing!”

“Oh Lord! To you! Coming! Morning star! To me! Coming!

While Ray was frantically singing the hymn, a tornado was already following close behind.

“Director! The orcs won’t back down!”

“Damn you guys!”

However, the Orcs have been persistently targeting the combination.

They are barbarians who kill and kill each other every day and are closer to death than anyone else.

storm? tornado?

An orc who is afraid of such things cannot become an outlaw in the wilderness.

“Damn it! Give it to me!”

“Human! I give you everything!”

“You b*stards!”

The orcs were persistent even though their heads were split open by the nuns’ axes and they rolled on the rough ground of the wilderness.

But one thing.

What neither the orcs nor the union members expected was that the power of praise continues to be manifested at this very moment.

thud! Thump thump!

thud! Thump thump!

As the drums rang out, the power of the hymn was concentrating its sacred power through the chorus.

And now, with the resonance phenomenon concentrating the holy power on Ray, Ray’s holy power has been amplified several times than before.

For Ray, whose maximum range had already increased by consuming the great evil of the magic core, the holy power amplified several times soon led to the ‘flame of the torch’.

Quaaa!!

“uh?”

The fire is too strong.

The power of sanctification does not simply create fire.

A sacred flame that uses the sacred power flowing from Ray’s body as a medium.

It was a self-sacrificing power that did not burn its allies, but inflicted just as much burning pain on Ray himself.

“Atteot! Ugh! Ugh!”

Ray was startled and jumped up, but the power of the pouring torch had already begun to collide with the tornado.

With a strong rising air current, the hot air generated from the flame rose quickly and combined with the rotating air current to form a swirling air flow.

“Uh, huh?!”

“Woah, it’s a fire tornado!”

A fire tornado, which is rare but is said to occur when several specific conditions come together, began burning the entire area.

“Kuuu?!”

“I’m dying! Sparks are flying!”

Fire tornado.

No, a tornado of holy flame struck the Orcs and began to burn them all down.

Truly a pillar of fire!

Truly a miracle of a saintly candidate!

The priests who saw this shed tears and made the sign of the cross.

“Solterra…”

A tornado of flame that burned only the orcs. Henry barely escaped the tornado’s range and jumped up.

“Brother! Brother! That’s it! All the orcs are burned to death!”

It’s a miracle!

Henry came up with a huff of joy and for some reason saw Ophelia looking at the sky with blank eyes.

“Sister Ophelia? Where is Brother Ray?”

“Uh… um. Uh…”

Ophelia pointed to the sky with blank eyes.

To be exact, towards the tornado that is still moving.

“Rey ascended! He was taken away!! Sol Estella!!!!!”

“???”

Everyone looked puzzled as they looked at Ophelia making the sign of the cross toward the sky.
