My Villains Episode 294
54. Paladin (2)
The confrontation between Heila and the paladins ended with Heila blinking her eyes drowsily in the divine light.
Theodora, who scattered the ‘light of exorcism’, ‘eyes to reveal the truth’ and ‘armour of faith’ at the end of a skit that made her laugh, opened her mouth with a shy face.
“That’s hematology. They considered bloodletting to be bloodletting, but
Theodora added a word to Heila’s silence.
“I have never seen anything like it before. I am curious about your name.”
Heila said, ‘Why are you talking sloppy?’ I was afraid to say something like that, but fortunately, after hearing the identity of the other person from me, she was moderately polite.
“My name is Heila.”
“…Is that the end?”
“……2M
Heila blinked and added an ‘ah’.
“I am the fiancée of Lord Phoenix.”
“fiancee?”
Theodora glanced back at me and nodded with a wry smile. The princess immediately expressed her doubts.
“Sir Phoenix and the woman here are not mature men and women. But they’re not married, just engaged?”
“That’s because there’s a little bit of a problem.”
“problem?”
“yes. Well, it’s a chore, so let’s talk about it.”
“Ah, yes. I asked something wrong.”
Then Theodora clapped her hands softly as if something came to her mind.
“Yeah, come to think of it, I’ve heard rumors that among Lord Phoenix’s group, there are many people with mysterious talents.”
“…mystical tricks?”
“I heard that one of them is a beauty who handles blood magic in practice, but now I know that she is actually a blood mage who has reached the level.”
She shook her head, saying, ‘Well, rumors are easily spread.’
“The ‘giants of thunder’ called Gyeong and Jjakpae are over there.”
The princess’ gaze reached U Tequai, who was taking care of the bodies with the youngest children.
It’s called ‘Giant of Thunder’.
I heard the other day that his nicknames were ‘Red Bear’, ‘Slammer’, and ‘Thundered Giant’, but he seems to be known a little differently in the west.
“Where is the ‘Fire Witch’? I heard that he has a fairy-like appearance and a slightly eccentric temperament, but he is a battle mage with terrifying skills.”
“Ah… he has returned to his hometown.”
“Oh is that so?”
Theodora, who was looking around, clicked her tongue in regret.
“There are very few people who can handle elemental magic in Mittergerant, so I thought it was an opportunity to broaden my knowledge, but unfortunately, it turned out to be so wrong.”
After a moment of regret, the princess suddenly raised her head. Then he asked me for guidance and headed to the cathedral.
Although it was not comparable to the curtain wall, there were many victims in the cathedral.
Fifteen soldiers and nine monks were killed, and Bishop Hecavenko, the head of the Seteniora Monastery, was also killed.
“It was his last.”
The cathedral knight, Sir Kabar, continued with a gloomy voice.
“You boosted the morale of the soldiers even though they were exhausted from maintaining the sacred barrier. He cried out in prayer until the very end…
“Your Excellency Bishop saved the cathedral by sacrificing himself.”
A middle-aged monk, ‘Okan’, who guarded the body of the old bishop, added his words.
“Even those believers.”
On one side of the cathedral he pointed to, the residents of the monastery were coming up through a hidden staircase.
The residents, who must have been terrified by all the terrible sounds coming from the ground, prayed and thanked that they had survived. Hicks and Rowen were among them.
“oh! My lady-”
The servant couple spotted me and Heila and tried to approach me quickly, but stopped when they read the heavy atmosphere that had settled nearby. I secretly waved my hand at them, and the couple, who had noticed, disappeared outside the cathedral with Altoni Je and Spotted.
“Brother Okan is absolutely right. Many people, including the Bishop, made sacrifices.” A priest named ‘Macel’, who is said to have opened a sacred barrier with Bishop Hecavenko, stepped forward.
He was the highest-ranking member of the monastery’s clergy at the time of the bishop’s death. He had a very stubborn impression, but because of the black dead skin under his eyes, he looked ferocious, unbecoming a priest.
“So please don’t misunderstand me, Princess.”
Hearing the sudden remark, Theodora wiggled her eyebrows.
“…misunderstanding, what does that mean
?” “I mean, I hope you don’t misunderstand that the princess and her group saved the Holy Land.”
As the princess narrowed her eyebrows slightly, the priest Marsel continued with an expressionless face.
“You were thinking that too.”
“It’s true that I’m a little offended to hear that anyway.”
“Why be offended? It was not the riders who showed up at the end of the battle and showed off their splendid equestrian skills, but the many saints who fought desperately with the Lord who bestowed grace on them.”
“……what?”
Why is this guy in such a hurry?
Seeing that Theodora’s face was red, I jumped before she let out her anger.
“Oh priest. I’m sorry, but if it weren’t for the Princess and the Paladins-”
“Oh, sir. To call a member of the foreign faction a Holy Knight. This is the hall of Orthodoxy. Please refrain from talking.”
The Cult of El Ganor sees the Calandari as their sect. Of course, this is the official position, and practically the majority of priests treat the Calandari sect as heresy.
It is for this reason that the priest Marcel now shows a semi-hostile attitude towards Theodora.
“Anyway, if it wasn’t for the help of the princess, the holy ground would have collapsed.”
“It’s not like that. Sir, don’t lower your major on your own.”
“…yes? What major do you mean?”
“Didn’t their leader personally punish that mad man who calls himself the King of Death?”
“It wasn’t me who did it, my colleague told me to unite-”
“History remembers the warrior who issued it rather than the dagger, and the general who commanded him rather than the soldier. As a knight and commander, he drove away the enemy’s chieftains and held back the endless army of the dead. Even without the belated support, you would have been able to protect the monastery.”
“No, he seems to be saying that because he didn’t see the situation earlier.”
“The deeper the darkness, the brighter the light, and the harder the hammering, the harder the steel. In this way, in the midst of harsh trials, he steadfastly defended his faith by strengthening his patience and devotion. Thanks to your care.”
And the priest Marcel finished the conversation by crossing the cross.
…are you crazy?
I was a little dazed at the way he came to his own conclusions, but on the other hand, he seemed to understand his intentions.
They probably don’t want to admit that Seteniora Monastery, the sacred ground of the Gwangmyeong Church, was saved by a group of heretics.
As a knight of Prince Ulkar, I wouldn’t be too squeamish, but it seems that he had the mindset that he would rather lift me up than acknowledge the merits of the heretics. It is also true that the performance of me and my party was outstanding.
Also, this is my guess, but there is a high possibility that the attitude of priest Marcel now will spread to the entire Church of El Ganore.
It’s good for me. There is nothing wrong with having a good reputation with the church.
But instead of pretending not to know, I opened my mouth with a shit-chewed expression.
“You’re quite petty.”
“…what did you just say?”
“I said it was petty.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Who would you like?”
Priest Masel’s face was crumpled, and the monks and monks and soldiers gathered around were also embarrassed. The cathedral knight, Sir Kabar, stepped forward with a firm expression.
“What kind of rude remarks to Lord Phoenix? Be polite.”
he groaned a little. My sarcasm was hurt by the pretentious lacquer, so I replied with a sneer.
“Aren’t you ashamed, sir?”
” what?”
“You know how messed up the defense of the curtain wall was. Aren’t you ashamed to pretend you don’t know? If you’re like me, you’d be a bit ashamed.”
‘What’s wrong with this bastard?’ I get a pleasant feeling when I receive the gaze on my whole body.
“I have to go to the curtain wall to collect the body. I saw earlier that my pagan friend was suffering.”
Instead of Lord Kabar, who kept his mouth shut, an angry Marcel grabbed me.
“Wait Sir Phoenix. The story isn’t over yet.”
“I am done. And I’m going to throw up when I’m listening to you twisting words to take care of my pride, so I need to get some fresh air.” After saying that, he left behind the priests who were blushing with anger and shame and turned around neatly.
He smiled at Theodora, whose eyes were wide open, and left the cathedral with Heila and the mercenaries who had been waiting for the next day.
He did some tricks on the clergy, but it wouldn’t change anything.
There are not one or two people who have witnessed the hard work I went through to protect the Holy Land. You can’t use a few words as an excuse to accuse someone of impiety.
Also, if Theodora had expressed her dissatisfaction on the spot, there would have been a religious argument. Since I gave the fuck up instead, she should have cooled down a bit and could probably have a normal conversation.
Although it slightly damaged the reputation of the church, it left a good impression on the hero character, Theodora, so it can be said that it is a surplus business.
And when the clergy of Gwangmyeonggyo were gathered in the cathedral, they were able to check other things.
Confair said.
“As you said, I picked them all up.”
“Has anyone seen it? What about the Paladins?”
“I brought the body that fell out of the castle onto a cart pretending to recover. He didn’t pay much attention.”
“Good job.”
All sorts of rare equipment was piled up in the storage room of the communal house we used as accommodation.
All of them were unique or rare, and even if you roughly counted them, they were well over twenty.
As a weapon, the mace, ‘Nakseong’, the axe, ‘Blue Lightning’, the one-handed sword, ‘The Palace’, the one-handed sword, ‘Saint’s Ruin’, the mace, ‘Mammon’s Hand’, the glaive, ‘Blood Vanguard’, the three-pronged spear, ‘Ecstatic Death’, the scythe, ‘Early Harvest’ ‘ There was a ‘Boreakum’, a longbow, ‘Crossbow of the Dead’, a crossbow, and a ‘Traping Bow of Power’, a crossbow.
In addition to the ‘Pure White’ set of armor, the ‘Emperor’s Gift’, and the ‘Corinthian Rock’, the shield, there were also two complete sets of plate armor.
Among them, there were some that were not perfect, such as the ‘Governing Palace’ that was broken in half or the ‘Early Harvest’ that lost its power after being purified by divine power, but most of the others were intact or usable.
It’s a pity that there are no trinkets.
It is unavoidable. The only things that can be equipped on Skeleton Soldiers are weapons and armor.
“…How do you do all of this?”
So I fell into a happy trouble.
