Chapter title: International Emergency Conference

「Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule today to answer my call.」

Twelve figures are floating in front of me. This is a magical tool left behind by an ancient civilization, a communication tool for communicating with people far away.

In each of the 12 images, there was a representative of a country on this continent.

「I was told that this was an emergency meeting. And a signature from the temple? Did something happen to you, my daughter, by any chance?」

Alice’s father, King Ilkut, raised an eyebrow at the disturbing prospect.

「Don’t worry, father. As you can see, I’m fine.」

Before King Erivan could say anything else, Alice insisted that she was safe.

「Mmm. I’m glad to see you are well. I hope there are no problems?」

Irkutu King’s eyes sharpened and he asked Alice.

「I will tell you everything now, including that.」

The representatives of each country listened to Alice’s earnest voice.

「Wh….at….」

「The evil god…. has been defeated?」

「The one who did it was a young man from the Kingdom of Ilkut?」

In the image that floated ahead, the representatives of each country were dismayed. They were the chief executives of their respective kingdoms. They know how to govern themselves even in unforeseen circumstances.

Even they could not believe the story Alice had told them.

「I, isn’t it a misunderstasnding between the King of Erivan and Princess Alice? Or was Bishop Hugo’s orb, broken?」

「We suspected that too. But the king’s questioning showed that it was not broken……」

Bishop Hugo told the truth in a tired voice.

「Wa, wait a minute! Then, the time of sacrifice is approaching but the transfer magic circle has not appeared in our country….」

The person who said that was the representative of the Kingdom of Carillon.

「As I recall, Carillon is the next country to offer sacrifices, right?」

「Yes, that’s right. This year, however, there was no response at all, and we were just discussing what to do.」

The other representatives buzzed again at King Carillon’s statement, because if it was true, it would make the story of the defeat of the evil god more plausible.

「I’d like to talk about the truth of defeating the evil gods first, if that’s okay with you?」

Bishop Hugo’s words calmed the place down.

「So, if the evil god actually got defeated, the young man is from the Kingdom of Ilkut, right? Are you going to set him up as a hero of the country?」

The representative of the Kingdom of Orlando gives him a sharp look. The King of Irkutu raised his eyebrows and…..

「The information about the young man who defeated the evil god is currently restricted in our country. Originally, I sent my daughter to the Erivan Kingdom because my fortune told me that the young man who was sacrificed was still alive. If we could protect his safety, we would celebrate with the whole country and let him live a comfortable life.」

King Irkutu said what had been decided at a meeting in the country.

「But, father. It’s not that easy since we’re dealing with the evil god slayer here.」

Considering the balance with other countries, we can’t just take them in. Alice told him so.

「We at the temple are going to grant the title of saint to the young man who defeated the evil god.」

When Bishop Hugo announced this to the nations, everyone fell silent again.

A saint is a symbol of the temple’s festival.

Only one hero has ever been given this title, the hero who defeated the ancient dragon that was ravaging the world thousands of years ago.

The temple decided to bestow such a title on Elt.

「In addition, the temple intends to give him a reward for defeating the evil god, as well as the bounty on the evil god that has been accumulated in the past.」

The bounty had been donated to the temple in the past was by people who had been tormented by the evil god. The temple declared that it would pay it to Elt.

「Th, that’s…. a lot of money, isn’t it?」

After all, the reign of the evil god had lasted for thousands of years. The bounty accumulated during that time was left behind for only those who defeated him to receive.

「Well, according to our records. The current bounty, is about a decade’s worth of national budget for a medium-sized country.」

The money to run a country is too much for an individual to have. Such an amount of money is going to be handed over to a single young man.

「That’s it from the temple side.」

Bishop Hugo, also in a cold sweat, announced the temple’s decision.

「What do we have to offer a man who can defeat an evil god with so much money in his hands?」

The other side is an existence beyond the evil god that must not be provoked.

The representatives of each country agonized over what to do in response to the temple’s words.
