The 100th Regression of the Max-Level yer – RMLP Chapter 156: The Oracle (Part 1)
Yamti inadvertently opened her mouth in shock.
The notion of killing an angel was that shocking.
It was something she had never even imagined.
“Why kill an angel?” she asked, bewildered.
“Why not? Don’t you feel like killing one?”
“No, I know angels are bad but…”
“You mean, what’s the benefit of killing them?”
“Yes.”
Ryu Min chuckled lightly.
“There is, indeed, a benefit.”
If it was a matter of benefit, he had already received it during the first round.
He was the first to kill an angel, earning a title and runes for it.
Bing a Grim Reaper was possible only because he had killed an angel.
The reason he hadn’t killed any angels since then was purely because there were no benefits left to gain, not out of fear of punishment.
‘Of course, I’m only talking about the regr angels.’
Killing regr angels now yielded no rewards.
But battle angels were a different story.
The battle angel Ryu Min was aiming to bring down was in this ce.
“You just need to stand by and act when I tell you to control it. Got it?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Hurry up. We need to do this before Min Juri’s buff runs out.”
The first time he killed a battle angel, the rewards scaled with his stats.
That’s why he wanted to do it before the buff expired.
Leading the way, Yamti scurried after him.
They soon arrived at thergest temple of Rubahi in the Holy Empire.
Ryu Min wasn’t interested in the setting that this was where the god Rubahi was worshipped.
Whether it was real or fake, Ryu Min’s interest was solely in summoning the angel.
Before even opening the temple doors, they were blocked by the waiting Holy Knights.
“What brings you here, strangers?.”
If they said they were here for a sub-quest, the NPCs would be puzzled.
To them, yers were warriors from another realm, and terms like systems or quests were unknown.
“We’vee in search of peace.”
“Is that so?”
The knight withdrew his spear and cleared the way.
“May you find the path you seek at Rubahi’s sanctuary.”
“Thank you.”
The knight, unaware of what Ryu Min might do, stared straight ahead again.
Yamti followed quietly behind Ryu Min like a puppy.
Before entering the sanctuary, a priest approached them.
“Wee, brother. Is this your first visit?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’ll need to register at the temple first.”
“No, we’re just passing through.”
“Perhaps you’d like to attend a service…”
“No, thanks. However, I’d like to make an offering.”
“An offering?”
Ryu Min looked at the priest and suddenly activated the trade feature.
A trade window popped up.
[Please freely imagine the items or gold you will give to the other party.]
└Item to be traded: none
└Gold to be traded: 1,000,000G
?Trade?
└Item to be traded: none
└Gold to be traded: 0 G
?Trade?
[After cing items, press the ‘Trade’ button.]
[A trade can only bepleted with the consent of both parties.]
‘You’d expect this only to work with yers…’
But he could use the trading feature with NPCs too.
Initially, Ryu Min wasn’t sure if it would work on NPCs, but he found out after trying.
Ryu Min thought of 1 million gold internally, and it was automatically entered.
Without hesitation, he pressed the trade button.
[The trade has beenpleted.]
[You have given Priest Valrus 1,000,000 gold.]
His status screen now showed that his total gold had decreased from 1.7 million to 700,000.
The priest’s eyes widened in astonishment at the unexpectedrge sum.
“Are you really offering this much?”
“Yes.”
While the priest was initially shocked, he couldn’t hide his greed as the corners of his mouth twitched.
You could tell by his greedy gaze just how worldly his thoughts were.
He wasn’t quick to ept, though, perhaps to maintain his dignity.
“1 million gold… I cannot ept such arge amount.”
‘You’ve already taken it, but now you say you can’t ept it.’
Suppressing a scoff, Ryu Min gave a smile like a phnthropist.
“If it’s an offering to the mighty Rubahi, it needs to be substantial. Besides, it’s not that much money for me. Don’t feel pressured.”
“You are indeed wealthy. Hahaha.”
Deciding not to return the money, the priestughed heartily for a while.
Of course, Ryu Min had a reason for offering such arge sum.
‘The easiest sub-quest I canplete right now is [Making an Offering].’
Sure enough, the expected message appeared in front of him.
└Condition?Make an offering of at least 1 million gold to the temple
[You havepleted the sub-quest!]
[Human reputation of ck Scythe has risen from ‘Neutral’ to ‘Friendly.’]
There are countless sub-quests in this fantasy world.
Just in the Holy Empire alone, there are about 30.
‘Using the ability to regress dozens of times, I searched and strategized each sub-quest.’
As a result, he established the most optimal quests and routes, one of which was this one.
‘If you have enough money, you canplete the quest in one second.’
However, it was impossible for other yers at this time due to therge amount of 1 million gold.
Ryu Min’s reputation had risen for this reason.
“Thank you so much for your generous donation. May Rubahi’s grace always be with you. Hahaha!”
“Thank you. But I don’t like to speak in vain. I’d rather receive the blessing directly from the deity.”
“Directly?”
Ryu Min spoke in a suggestive tone.
“An oracle.”
“…”
“The Rubahi temple is known tomunicate with the deity through oracles. It would be an honor to receive a blessing directly from the deity.”
It was a well-known fact that one could receive an oracle at the temple.
However, no one except the highest leader of the Holy Empire, the Emperor, was entitled to receive an oracle.
This perhaps exined the troubled smile on the priest’s face.
“You may not know this since it’s your first visit, but only the Emperor can receive an oracle. Faithless believers cannot.”
“Even though I’ve made an offering of 1 million gold?”
“Even so, it’s impossible. An outsider like you seeking contact with the deity… The Emperor would be furious if he heard.”
“Then return the gold I gave.”
Asking for the money back seemed petty, but Ryu Min brazenly held out his hand.
However, the priest was not easily intimidated.
“It’s a principle not to return offerings that have been received.”
“I’m asking for it back.”
“If you have aint, talk to the temple knights outside. They’ll kindly escort you to jail.”
Threatened not to push any further, Ryu Min gave up.
“Can’t help it then.”
His attempt at persuasion ended there.
“Yamti. Take control.”
