Chapter.6 In the Name of Glory (7)
***
‘For some reason, they say it follows so smoothly! Even though it was a hasty excuse, it turned out really well! Where did you get it right from? From the beginning? When did you bring in Zecus? When I confessed that I had nothing to do with the Queen? ‘When information about the Salvation Church was mentioned?’
Unlike his chaotic mind, the professor’s mouth was moving calmly.
“I will make a vow. “Professor I pledge to dedicate myself to humanity until the day I still have the will to do so.”
It was my last pride in not including phrases like [according to the will of the church] like a normal warrior’s vow. Damn it! My pride is hurt! I was robbed! I was robbed by that snake-like bitch!
Senadis, who was happily looking at the professor, looked around at the priests and paladins surrounding him and said,
“Now, with this, another hero was born. I would like to take the time to follow the procedure and give you my blessing, but as you know, the information given by the ‘Professor Hero’ is a matter of payment. “I will give the blessing informally, so priests and paladins, please immediately organize your troops and head to the Singing Helmet Tavern.”
“I will follow the will of light.”
“Latura lo haram.”
The priests and paladins rushed out of the temple as soon as they received permission from the female bishop. How dare they have a heretic headquarters in their front yard. It must have been hard to bear.
When only the professor and her were left in the temple, Senadis knelt down right in front of the professor and faced him, as if she didn’t care that her robes were stained by the perfume that had fallen on the floor.
“I like how quick he is and how he understands and responds to situations. Ah, Lo Haram. Do, and my hand will be there. “How could you give us such a perfect talent?”
When the priests left, she began to reveal her true feelings without hiding them. The tone of speech changed from solemn and sacred to light. She knows that I have already figured out her snarky intentions and shows her true colors. Actually, you can’t not know. As soon as the priests left, I also found myself grinding my teeth.
“Since when… was this planned?”
“Hmm… that’s a difficult question. The original plan and the results were so different. “I don’t know whether to say that this went according to plan or that it didn’t go as planned.”
As she said that, she took out an old, twice-folded letter from her bosom.
“The first time I heard news about you was through this letter.”
“What… is that?”
“Hehe. “Why don’t you read it yourself?”
The professor glared at her, who was smiling like a fox, and nervously snatched the letter from her hand and opened it.
“This…”
“Isn’t it amazing? When the church’s informant first delivered this letter to me, I had many doubts whether it was fake or not. That’s because Charlotte des Agates, a woman who is a model of a knight made of steel, personally left a letter of recommendation for a certain man!”
On the paper in the professor’s hand, along with Charlotte’s seal, were words written in an awkwardly aristocratic manner about how much the professor could dedicate himself to Roderick and whether he had the talent to become a knight.
“Uh…huh?”
Charlotte left a letter of recommendation? Is it not enough for you to carry me to the temple and even lay down a pole to save me?
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: ??????
– Speed Wagon: Oh.
– Mukaba: Charlotte’s route is… open? That impregnable woman?
– Heungan Mandu: Is this the charm of that ugly man or something?
– Jokass: Yaya, the professor’s broadcast has just risen to the 50th place in the overall community broadcast ranking. I think there’s a rumor that the Charlotte des Agates strategy has been solved.

.

.

Uh…um…. I think everyone was very surprised. Because I did that too. I knew that Charlotte thought quite well of me, but to the point of writing me a letter of recommendation. That woman who is the epitome of chivalry is trying to put on a parachute. I don’t know, but isn’t this what others are talking about? Is that something called green light?
The professor was upset and hit his knee without realizing it.
‘Shit! This means that if the infection hadn’t gotten to the point where it couldn’t be cured, I could have just switched to the royal knight route! If we do well, we’ll bring in Charlotte as a colleague!’
Ah, I feel sick. I feel like I’m going to rummage around. If I had saved just a little bit back then, I wouldn’t have gone through all this trouble and would have been happily playing the game like everyone else. Being a royal knight is a special A-level job. It would have been 100 times easier than it is now.
Regardless of whether the professor’s stomach turned or not, Senadis continued speaking.
“The Church of Gwangmyeong is very interested in Lord Agat. Of course, right? Those who worship the God of Light are interested in the knight called ‘Sun of the Battlefield’. At one time, there were priests who thought that she might be a saint given by Ro-Haram. She, who has never been close to men in her life, can’t believe she personally posts a letter of recommendation for a man. I thought it was interesting, so I ordered him to do a little research… and then you know. “Isn’t there a lot of suspicious information coming in?”
“So everything about the trust was a lie?”
“There is no way I could tell a lie in the name of Ro Haram. The trust is exactly as I said. However, I already knew that the target of the oracle was a heresy called the Salvation Church. There is no place in the world where the name of light does not ring out. “There is no way the denomination wouldn’t know about a heretic operating so openly.”
“Oh my-
“Mi?”
“-Is there something related?”
The professor was so dumbfounded that he tried to utter a swear word without realizing it, but swallowed it hard. Anyway, this is the bishop. If you cheat, you die. Let’s find out slowly and calmly.
Still, Senadis, unable to hide his boiling insides, looked at the professor’s face and laughed again as if it were amusing.
“But things went in a different direction than I thought. “According to the original plan, I would have appealed to the mercy of the priests to save you, who was treated as a heretic and on the verge of death, and then accepted you as a member of the sect and used it as a ploy to attract Lord Agath.”
Knock knock.
The female bishop tapped the professor’s head with her finger and smiled as brightly as a flower field in full bloom.
“But when I met him face to face, I found out that he was very smart, witty, had political sense, and even had the ridiculous ability to receive information from the queen. Who would have imagined that you would be so precious? The moment it came out of your mouth, I realized the basis of the Church of Salvation, which even the Church had not discovered. Oh, the Lord has given us interest. I believe that you have given us the most necessary tools for your children who are wandering through the dark streets of the night.
According to Lord Agaat’s letter, his strategic ability is far beyond that of a criminal, but to leave such a talented person unused would be a waste of humanity and an act of ignoring Ro-Haram’s will.”
“Tsk!”
The professor nervously slapped her hand away, but Senadis didn’t seem to care and got up from her seat and approached the icon of Lo Haram.
“You know what, I’d like to say this one more time in advance for both of you. Professor, you must not reject the will of the church. You’re already so closely associated with Mute. No matter how much you present yourself, a denomination can drag you into heresy. “You know that well, right?”
“….Damn it.”
“I take it as a positive sign. Originally, I was going to use you as bait to promote Sir Agaat as a warrior, but… Now that I have a team like you, there is no need to go against Roderick’s kingdom and steal their knights, right?”
The professor felt that the conversation had been going on for a long time. He knew my identity and tried to use me to attract Lord Agaat. But they didn’t need Charlotte, so they dragged me in instead. What on earth? For what?
The professor spoke in a somewhat rough tone.
“A warrior means a person who has been given a mission by the church. Now, can you stop whining and talk to me? “How big of a mission are you talking about in circles like this?”
“…Ratura lo-haram. Please forgive me.”
Senadis, who had been quietly praying in front of the statue for a while, turned around at the professor’s words. The sight of her standing beneath the huge icon made the viewer feel as if she was very far away.
After hesitating for a moment, Senadis finally opened his mouth.
“The monsters are constantly increasing, and Rodrik has already lost three cities. “Not only the Church of Light, but all other temples are talking about the coming darkness.”
“Anyone who has ever been on the battlefield knows that-”
“We will form a death squad. A deadly force that will risk their lives to delve into the heart of the enemy and decapitate the Queen, the culprit of all evil.”
Senadis spoke each word slowly and solemnly, as if pondering the weight of her words.
“Professor, I would like you to use your abilities to lead that death squad. Become their pathfinder and guide the flames to the queen’s side.”
***
‘It’s a death sentence.’
As soon as I first heard the word death squad, it was the word that came to mind.
In fact, the word itself already had the smell of death. A group of people who carry out their mission at the risk of death. The mission is to delve into the area occupied by Mute and cut down the supply and demand of the Queen, who is the culprit of everything.
‘It’s reckless. I don’t know what happens to the members, but the mission success rate is too low. Nine times out of ten, you will fail…’
At that moment, a premonition flashed through the professor’s mind. A sticky and unpleasant feeling.
“…It’s a mission with no chance of success, let alone a chance of returning alive. “Are you really people who are engaged in the priesthood?”
“Bright light always creates shadows. As a servant of Roharam, it is proper to worship even the shadow of his child. We are willing to sink into the shadows for the light.”
“You make it nice to say that you won’t shy away from doing dirty work…”
‘The church is not interested in the success of the mission.’
Whether the death squad succeeds or fails, their mission is accomplished once they have already set off and penetrated into the enemy’s territory. Even though he couldn’t hit the queen’s head, he could make Mute aware that a small group of elite humans can target their greatest weakness. It can effectively suppress the speaking mutes of the Queen’s children, who run around as if the whole world is their own. They care about the queen’s well-being more than their own lives, so they have no choice but to be intimidated by such threats, and humanity buys more time. As a bonus, ambiguous figures who may become enemies have also died, so from the church’s perspective, it is killing two birds with one stone.
“The more we talk, the more I feel like it would be a waste to let you go. To find out the purpose of the death squad in that short moment. In my heart, I want to do whatever it takes to make him a priest of the church, but…”
“Stop saying things you don’t mean, right?”
“Hehehe. “If it hadn’t been contaminated by evil, we could have worked together.”
In the end, that is the conclusion. I can’t believe it because I proved myself in that confession spell, but Mutt’s hand reached me anyway. There was a suicide mission that needed a capable person, and I thought it would be perfect to use this guy.
Senadis picked up a necklace with an oval-shaped metal decoration with a hole in the middle from among the ritual vessels in front of the icon and hung it around the professor’s neck. The necklace, so large that it reached from the collarbone to the solar plexus, was uncomfortable, but it seemed to be a high-class sacred item as it had quite a strong divine power.
“You warrior who vowed to remain human even though you were tainted by evil. I, El Senadis, the Light Gatherer, servant of Ro-Haram, bless you. “I hope this holy relic, ‘Nelphia’s Light’, will light the way for the difficult mission ahead.”
“….Blessings for those who are about to die. They will freeze to death. “If possible, can’t I just give you something like a holy sword?”
“It’s already an overdraft at the point where the sacred object is given. “The Archbishop said that once the death squad leaves, that’s it.”
Senadis lowered his head and clasped his hands together as if praying.
“Still, you are a warrior of the church that no one can deny, appointed by me. “Even though we drove you to death with our own hands, I will still pray for your return alive.”
“Can you pray for the ‘defiled ones’ you call?’
“I think Ro Haram will forgive me that much.”
Senadis, who hung the holy relic around my neck, bowed deeply towards me as I knelt.
“I wish you a safe return, Professor Hero. When you go outside, my acolyte will be waiting for you. Go now, warrior. May light be with you in your future.”
“……”
The professor stared at her quietly and then stood up. Senadis was in a deeply bowed position and did not raise his head as the professor walked to the door. The professor was very, very uncomfortable with that.
“…But since you said something nice in the end, I’ll just say one thing and leave.”
The professor spoke without looking back while holding the doorknob of the temple.
“It would be good for your health if you quit being a bishop. Why is there so much talk about sending someone to death? “If you know that you won’t be able to reject it anyway, you can just go and die.”
“…..”
“Knock them all off and go back to being a rank priest and see the light and live. “Don’t be swayed by the words of higher-ups and wear clothes that don’t fit your body.”
“…The Lord needs me.”
“My true. “This is my first time seeing a person who is so successful that he is pitiful.”
As
the professor opened the door to the temple, he frowned at the bright sunlight streaming in. It was so bright that it was blinding.
“…I’m closing the door and leaving.”
Quang!
The professor nervously closed the temple door and left the temple, following the priest who was waiting for him.
[Shouldn’t a crying woman be comforted? Is it written that way?]
‘Not this time. ‘No matter what I do, it won’t comfort me.’
Senadis was crying as he sent the professor. I put my head down on the floor as if I felt guilty for even showing myself like that. Even she, who makes decisions in the shadow of the church, is just someone’s chess piece. You have to pretend to be evil and spiteful and force someone to get killed.
“Of course, I hate people who come together with ideologies, thoughts, etc.”
“yes?”
“Oh, I’m just talking to myself. soliloquy.”
The professor could not shake off an uneasy feeling as he followed the acolyte.
***
“Where are we going?”
“There is a small guest quarters in the temple’s backyard. “There are people gathered there who will join you in your mission.”
“These are the people we will be together with…”
The professor was lost in thought as he walked through the well-maintained garden following the attendant.
‘It was a forced mission, but if you look at the situation, it wasn’t such a complete failure. Rather, it could be a good opportunity.’
Although it was a suddenly appointed death squad, if you look at the overall framework of the incident, it was a direction that was familiar to the professor and everyone in the community.
‘The exact same mission as the one given to Cheon Ryu-je, ranked 3rd. It’s the same event.’
Exactly the same progression as the ranker who cleared World 3. The professor’s play, which had been erratic and reckless, suddenly settled into a normal state.
‘The problem is that Chen Liu-Je had already gone on a rampage before receiving this mission, so he had a lot of hero unit colleagues, and even putting his colleagues aside, Chen Liu-Je’s control is ridiculous.’
In fact, there are quite a few people who look at Cheonryuje’s World 3 clear data and describe it as ‘fake’ or ‘half-formed’ clear data. Because Cheonryuje, this person did not think about the next world after clearing and only focused on improving his own abilities. Then, he received a death-defying mission at the beginning of the world, pushed the ridiculous power difference with control, and suddenly took off the queen’s head. Because it was cleared.
‘On the other hand, if you compare me to Emperor Cheonryu at that time, I am nothing but shabby.’
Even though it was early in the world, Cheonryuje was a swordsman class and had acquired enough combat power to cut down a castle gate with one hit using sword techniques. I watched the video, and when the sword broke, he pulled out the Sword Aura more than 2 meters with the broken sword, and when he was in a hurry, he even pulled out strong energy with his claws and cut Mute with a kick. I also tried playing as a warrior, but I had no idea how to do it. The way he uses his sword is so unusual that he seems like a guy who can do it in real life.
On the other hand, what about me?
Without Mute’s blood, he cannot produce his own strength, so even if he has blood in his body, he can barely keep up with the human’s feet. colleague? There’s no one next to me now. I think I have better staying power. You will be fighting in Mute-controlled territory.
In any case, even if you took the same route, it is impossible to clear it by pushing yourself like that person.
‘First of all, it’s important to know who your companion will be with…’
If I am weak, my companion must also be strong. When Cheonryuje left on his mission to the death squad, his companions were Jakkung (灼弓), Rom Snake, and Argalea Princess, I guess?
I don’t expect much. They don’t have to be hero units, so I hope they’re at least good for one person. At the very least, they’ve probably gathered only the irritating guys like me that would be good to use in the church, so I hope they’re guys that can be used in some way!
“We’re all here. From here on, this is an area I am not allowed to enter, so you must go alone. “Your colleagues will know about the mission.”
The priest said so and quickly left without looking back.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Oh, is this a gacha again? Colleague gacha?
– Noroo Drug: ‘Difficult greetings selected by the denomination’ pack. 10th year sucks.
– Jokass: There will be at least one named person. Still, we have to dig deep enough to pose a threat to the queen.
‘please! It doesn’t have to be a named one! I’m the tank that heals, so I just hope I have a good mix of healer and mage dealer!’
The professor prayed earnestly and opened the door to the building where his fellow students were gathered.
