After stopping by the White March Station for a short time and finishing his meal, Oswald boarded the train back to Vatican City.

Alicia chose to travel by carriage rather than wait two hours for the train, as it would take about an hour and a half by carriage from White March to Central.

The train that was about to stop at Central Station for a short time had Sword guards assigned because of the recent terrorist incidents. Of course, the inspection on the train had also been strengthened.

“I’m glad my household register is here.”

If he didn’t have the Winchester surname, he would have been taken to Sword right away. He looked suspicious just by the way he dressed. Even though it wasn’t raining, he was wearing a black raincoat and had his hood pulled low over his head. It was obvious to anyone that he was a suspicious subject.

Of course, there were other things that made him stand out.

Anyway, after three more days, Oswald finally arrived in Vatican City, the center of the imperial religion and the religious capital.

The Chronos Order’s cathedral was located in the center of the city, and the cathedrals of various denominations were located around it.

‘𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩. . . 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦?’

He looked back, but . . . he didn’t see anyone in particular. Nevertheless, his instincts continued to sound the alarm.

‘𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦??’

However, he thought it would be a waste of Fate Points to raise his senses.

Raising his senses would have its advantages, but . . . it wouldn’t have a direct impact on combat. Especially since his body was so wretched that he didn’t even have a pinch of magical power, it would be more helpful to increase his physical strength or endurance.

Oswald first stopped by a jewelry store. He showed his identification card to prove that he was a nobleman and asked them to dispose of his items, and they bought his items at a fair price.

‘𝘐 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵.’

He had expected to get 100 gold, but he ended up getting around 140 gold. That was enough to buy all the supplies he had in mind.

First, he looked for an inn where he could stay for a day. It was an inn that he had often used in the game, and the price was reasonable and the food was good.

Oswald walked out as if he was familiar with the place.

He walked for about 20 minutes. He entered a street that would be difficult to find unless he was someone who often visited Vatican City, and soon he was standing in front of an inn.

[𝐀 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐦𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐬]

The sign of the inn was funny and didn’t seem like the name of an inn. It was a place that only the people living nearby or those who often visited Vatican would know about.

“Welcome.”

A young female employee greeted Oswald, and he handed her 5 silver as if he was familiar with the place and took a room.

“I would like a room for one night and dinner.”

“What would you like for dinner?”

“The bear dinner set.”

“It seems like it’s your first time here, but you act like you’ve been here many times.”

Her words made Oswald speechless for a moment, but then the manager came out and scolded her for talking nonsense and to show the guest to their room.

“I would like to have dinner in my room.”

He handed her 10 copper, and the girl gave Oswald a suspicious look before accepting the 10 copper.

A while later, a hearty dinner set was delivered to his room.

“That will be 50 copper!”

Oswald handed her 60 copper, giving her 10 copper as a tip for coming all the way up here.

“Pull this rope whenever you need anything!”

The bear dinner set consisted of large sausages, omelets, bacon, salad, and bread.

It also included a 500cc glass of beer.

“Okay. . . . . . . ”

Oswald took a sip of the beer first. The cold beer moistened his throat, bringing a sense of refreshment and exhilaration to his mind.

“Hoo. . . . . . . ”

He then stabbed one of the three large sausages with a fork and put it in his mouth.

The sausage was just an ordinary sausage that could be bought in the market, but the sauce that came with it was excellent. The sauce was also spread on the omelet and bacon, so they were also delicious.

After finishing his meal, Oswald left the plates and bowls on the table and got out of his chair and headed to the bed.

“Hmm. . . . . . . ”

But his senses were still sounding the alarm, giving him the feeling that someone was watching him.

‘𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘵? 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦?’

Honestly, he had first felt this feeling when he left Winchester City. His senses had been giving him strange warnings since then, but . . . he had just thought that it was because he had to risk his life in this world.

It was when he gained Judgment and Appraisal that he became convinced that someone was following and watching him.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘰.’

When he had been in danger from the wizard, the thing had seemed like it was about to move, but when Oswald had gotten up and taken care of the wizard, it had gone quiet again.

‘𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦?’

No matter how much he had kicked him out, . . . blood is thicker than water. So . . . he must have put someone on me.

What gave him confidence in that thought was the fact that he still had his household register. In this world, parents could unilaterally remove their abandoned children from the household register.

‘𝘖𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴. 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘐 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳. . . . . . .’

The next morning. . . . . . .

Oswald left the inn early in the morning and headed to the Gunsmith. It was a place that sold various gun-related items, and it also repaired and sold firearms. As befitting the central city of religion, Vatican City, the Gunsmith also sold religious artifacts and various items.

“1,000 consecrated silver bullets, 50 silver buckshots, and 20 bottles of holy water.”

A single consecrated silver bullet cost 10 silver. Buying 1,000 of them would cost 10,000 silver, or 100 gold. In addition, a single silver buckshot cost 20 silver. He spent a total of 1,000 silver, or 10 gold, and a single bottle of holy water cost 1 gold, so he spent 20 gold. He spent a total of 130 gold on silver bullets, silver buckshots, and holy water.

“Are you going to fight the undead?”
