Episode 74
“Damn the Damn!”
Today alone, having already broken the eighth cup, Archbishop Cillian lost his temper.
It was really a moment.
In that moment, so many things changed.
The Church of God, which not long ago felt like a world of its own, was no longer there.
Instead, it was Mikhail Walpurgis who filled the position.
The presence of that heinous person.
Who would have known that he would stop the Holy Knights and convince the archbishops in such a short period of time?
Why the hell did the archbishops, who were neutral and didn’t belong anywhere, change their minds?
Also, why did the Order of the Holy Knights not move, and why did he himself end up in this situation… ….
I don’t know.
‘Surely God didn’t choose me. That’s why he sent Haran to me!’
correct revelation.
Haran gave him the ‘Word of God’.
In fact, the case happened as he said, and if he moved as he said, the case was resolved.
The more such situations increase.
Gradually he came to fully believe in a priest named Haran.
Harran told the stories he wanted and always brought conviction to them.
so vice versa.
The prophecy of the young Cassandra was unacceptable.
A lion hints at heresy?
The world is burning and ruining because of them.
Haha, what kind of nonsense is this?
I had no intention of acknowledging such a prophecy.
so i kicked it out
I thought everything was solved with that, but why the hell… …!
‘Oh God.’
why the hell
Isn’t it the body that lived for you all your life. Then you should recognize my efforts and give me a fair price!
However, no matter how much we pray, God does not answer.
For a long time, Killian had a hard time understanding that fact.
He himself is for God, so why doesn’t God give him a voice?
‘What should I do?’
We cannot leave everything in the hands of the abominable Walpurgis.
If necessary, even in an unjust way… ….
-Are you the Archbishop?
But then.
His eyes widened at the sound of a voice coming from the other side of the door.
“Come in!”
“Then excuse me.”
A familiar face entered.
Haran High Priest.
As soon as he entered with his invariably good-natured smile, he lightly bowed his head to the Archbishop.
the Archbishop asked urgently.
“okay. It came just fine. Ho, have you heard anything? Like a prophecy or something God said!”
If you receive a ‘revelation’ that even the pope or other archbishops can’t deny, such as a trump card that will turn the situation around… ….
‘It can be changed!’
In the end, the religious state is a state in which the authority of God precedes anything else.
If God truly preached the word, you will have a cause that is greater than anything else.
Haran slowly opened his mouth.
“That’s right.”
“Oh oh!”
When the word he had been waiting for more than anything came out, the Archbishop trembled with emotion.
Although not directly to himself, he gave a revelation like this!
If so, that’s enough.
That alone can convince you that you are right.
“Come on, tell me. What was it about! God gave you… …”
“God has spoken.”
Haran smiled brightly and slowly conveyed the revelation he had heard.
“Gregorius, now pope, is doing something wrong.”
“Oh oh.”
“You added that the lineage of a wizard like Walpurgis should not disturb the kingdom.”
“I see. Yes, I guess!”
bouquet.
The revelation that Archbishop Killian wanted so much flowed out of Haran’s mouth.
All of them are just favorable stories that make it hard to get better than this.
perhaps.
If his condition was the same as usual, he might have known that something was strange.
That Haran’s revelation was unusually overly explicit.
One was overcrowded.
The day when all the archbishops may be convened and the champion may be crowned.
you may lose everything
Until now, everything that he had written and defended might be denied.
furthermore.
“What would you like to do?”
Harran slowly approached Archbishop Killian. His bright red eyes slowly gripped the archbishop.
bind the soul
Slowly, the Archbishop is not allowed to think of anything else.
Haran, no, Lotus thought with a bleak smile.
‘Originally, I didn’t intend to brainwash you so blatantly.’
Brainwashing is, after all, mobilizing one’s power as a ‘devil’.
Of course, the possibility of his existence being discovered by the religious kingdom is very high.
That’s why I left it as a last resort, but… ….
‘Circumstances have changed.’
Now that we are no longer in a position to choose a method, it is best at this point to brainwash the archbishop and use it as a long-term language.
“I am…“
You have to do what you can. You have to be prepared to get your hands dirty for him.”
just like you always did
he said slowly
“Yes that’s right. Now is the time to change the future of the church.”
* * *
“You are amazing, Mikhail.”
Archbishop Narun said so while holding a teacup in his hand.
He turned over the papers in front of him one by one and told me.
“It can be said that the archbishops who were neutral were almost persuaded, and even those who supported Sir Siegfried…”
“Well, a lot of things happened.”
For example, someone heard a clear revelation. Or someone happened to see a great god in me… ….
Even though the state of religion has been twisted in one way or another, it doesn’t change that God is the top priority in the end.
What if God intervened?
Well, no matter how stubborn the priest was, he had no choice but to change his opinion eventually.
Except for a few.
“Sir Siegfried is not moving as actively as I thought. I think the fact that the Holy Knights were incapacitated was a big deal.”
“Well, wouldn’t that be a variety of circumstances?”
Although I rationalized this and that and broke many things… ….
Still, he is known for having the qualifications of a warrior.
Perhaps you are thinking about yourself. Is it true that you are a warrior?
If not, what should I do?
He will come to a conclusion after much thought on his own.
is that a good thing
I can’t tell if it’s the bad side, but anyway, if it’s him, I’ll make a decision myself.
“But any Sir Siegfried I know would draw a perfect conclusion one way or another.”
“Yes, of course.”
The archbishops are all summoned.
There are only three hours left until the hero is truly selected.
I will make a decision before that.
In order to obtain a result that can win on its own.
“But there wasn’t much time left, hmm…”
“Oh, it’s okay. Just wait a little bit and it will come to you.”
“assurance…Are you doing it?”
“I like my eyes.”
At those words, Archbishop Narun smiled bitterly.
“Well, I don’t think there’s anything better than that if Mikhail-nim is chosen as a hero.”
“Is that so.”
“The saintess who is training in the temple of reason is very close to that child. I couldn’t help but worry about how to see him in the future.”
“Hmm.”
Saint Ariandel.
Yes, she certainly would have. Although it was very difficult to say that she was a saint.
He was kind though.
It wasn’t even because of him, but to the point where he was holding on to Cassandra, who had disappeared a long time ago.
– Thank you so much for being with us until now.
As I recalled her last words, my fists tightened for a moment.
Violent, but kind.
He seemed heartless, but he was more affectionate than anyone else.
If my sister is fine.
Maybe this time you look a little different.
A little brighter look.
‘If it’s training in the temple of reason, even if I can’t do it in the future, I won’t be able to see anything for 2-3 years.’
It doesn’t matter anyway.
I have no intention of letting Cassandra die.
“it’s okay. God protects, so everything will flow in the right direction.”
“That’s a wise answer to the right question.”
He replied with a wry smile.
I slowly straightened my back and got up from my seat.
“hmm? Where are you going?”
“It seems like it came soon.”
At my words, Archbishop Narun widened his eyes.
“Ah, that’s right. Then you should go.”
I smiled as if I understood.
“May God protect you.”
* * *
Siegfried’s momentum is very easy to understand.
If it’s good, it’s honest, and if it’s bad, it’s overly explicit.
‘I mean, it’s putting pressure on my shoulders.’
As if you are the only justice.
As if embodying his self-righteousness, his momentum was also very overwhelming.
Of course, that is also relative.
It doesn’t feel too heavy now, but it wasn’t like that when we first met before returning.
– Are you Mikhail?
Crushed.
Unconsciously, I was crushed by a guy named Siegfried and decided that he was superior to me.
It was a decision I would regret for the rest of my life, but at the time, it was a story.
As I thought about this and that, I passed through a hallway that was carved and came out.
1 The back of the temple.
“I was waiting for you.”
Siegfried was standing.
With an expression without the slightest hesitation, he must have blown away all his worries.
“So, have you thought about what I said then?”
“exactly. I didn’t sleep and I thought about it over and over again.”
After saying that, Siegfried frowned for a moment.
“It wasn’t just me.”
“Hoo.”
“Everybody kept thinking. No wonder. We were idiots who wore the name of God and didn’t even know that the fellow next to us was a demon.”
Siegfried’s words continued.
I decided to listen in silence.
Because there was nothing I couldn’t hear.
what the guy is thinking
What did you learn from the duel that day?
It’s a lie if you’re not interested in it.
“Sir Havey said. everything was denied After thinking about it for a while, I finally admitted that I was wrong. I tried to apologize to you and the Prophet, but I couldn’t get out. He blamed himself for it.”
“I see.”
“The same goes for the other articles. Some were unfaithful and some were just angry, but that didn’t last long. It was clear which one was the problem.”
Siegfried continued.
I thought and thought and thought.
what a real warrior
Is the ‘hero’ he insisted on really right?
“If I had been aware of the devil, your words would not have been refuted.”
“I guess so. You would have been right until the end.”
“Why did you dare to show the devil in front of everyone in the Order of the Holy Knights…It must not have been because he was simply thinking of keeping the knights.”
“I know.”
“You told me.”
No, I said it from the beginning.
Muttering that, Siegfried frowned.
“Archbishop Killian, who took me in, always said. The path of a warrior I believe is the right one.”
“….”
“That is what God wants. So I didn’t doubt it. People around me also affirmed me. The only thing I said was wrong.”
Siegfried looked at me.
“Sir Mikhail, you were the only one.”
kyung.
It was the first time Siegfried had called me that.
He looked at me with tired eyes.
“…So tell me. Please, please.”
He bowed his head to me with a desperate expression.
“What am I supposed to do?”
Siegfried lowered his head.
in a desperate voice.
Great mage who transcends by regression
