Apostle Evan (2)
PABABABATT!!!
Sparks bursting through the dark corridors.
As the overloaded power facility flows backward, it bursts out in various places riding the power distribution box inside the temple.
Lights and floor heating wires exploded everywhere regardless of the power wires on the wall, causing sparks and causing panic to the priests who were otherwise embarrassed.
“No, the facilities inside the temple are completely paralyzed!!”
“Unbelievable…This unholy commotion before the sacred ceremony… … !!”
“We’ll have to deal with it until the Archbishop returns!!”
Of course, there are no priests who want to immediately report the problem at the temple to the archbishop and bring her back.
If the power problem of the internal facility is reported to the highest authority in the branch, who will be responsible for it and who should be in charge of resolving the disturbance?
Even if you report this to Archbishop Nydri, the damaged temple facilities won’t be immediately repaired.
In this situation where the power facility itself was destroyed due to reverse flow, the most reasonable method the priests could choose was.
Until the end of the service, the archbishop somehow managed to restore the temple in secret.
“The custodian priests go down to the underground power plant immediately and check the problem.”
“First of all, solving this matter quickly is the priority. I won’t hold you accountable!”
“We have to put everything back in place before the ceremony starts, hurry up!!”
The appearance of the priests who stopped even moving the corpse used for the offering and started running all over the temple.
Zeif, who had been watching the whole scene from the sidelines, looked back at Lennok in dismay.
“To deliberately cut off contact with the plaza while throwing the inside of the temple into chaos… … . Were you predicting this from the beginning?”
“Tell me what to do.”
Lennok, who brushed off his hand that was holding the power cord, replied indifferently.
“If trust is not guaranteed between us, it will be difficult to achieve any cause together.”
“…I made a mistake. After all, there’s no way an apostle like you would be swept away by a mere impulse and go wrong.”
So that Lennok and Zaif no longer draw attention, he finds the blind spot that confuses the temple and stabs it at once.
At the same time, by leaving the responsibility to anyone else, this fact is prevented from reaching Archbishop Nydri’s ears for the time being.
Even if the other agents, who are superhumans of high rank, noticed that there was a problem inside the temple, it would be difficult for them to leave the square unless the Archbishop moved directly.
Zaif quickly understood the achievements and goals that Lennok had achieved by blowing up the power distribution box, and was in a small way admiring his cleverness.
But Lennok shook his head slowly as he looked at Jaif.
“not there yet. Our work begins now.”
“what?”
“Didn’t I tell you that it’s difficult to get into the inside of the temple?”
Lennok grinned and slowly untied his wrists as he looked around the hallway.
“There is a way to go around the temple very legitimately without arousing any suspicion from the other priests.”
* * *
Kwaaa!!
An antique wooden door on one side of the hallway was smashed, and a large amount of water flowed out of it and began to fill the hallway.
The appearance of the priests who are embarrassed by the rapidly rising water that wets their calves.
“The sewer has burst. The valve is out of control!”
“Where are the priests who manage the facility and what are they doing… … !”
“We’re trying to do maintenance using the formula, but the overload is spreading to other facilities!”
Power facilities once damaged by Lennok are not easily repaired.
It would be difficult to even repair it using magic formulas without first removing Lennok’s mana, as he caused an overload by directly regurgitating mana.
Of course, as long as Lennok doesn’t directly manipulate it, if he spends time and cares, even if he can remove the magic itself.
The internal structure of the power facility is complicatedly tangled, and it takes a very long time to remove the magic power from all the wires.
In the meantime, the aftermath of the power facility’s overload will spread to other facilities based on it.
It was the same reason that the sewer that burst at the end of the hallway turned into a huge flood.
The moment when the other priests infused only meaningless magic with the sewage pouring incessantly.
jump!!
Lenok opened the door on the other side and appeared, coldly looking down at the priests.
“Move.”
“Who are you…?”
“Can’t you understand what I said once?”
“Come on, Apostle Zaif…!!”
Zaif appeared behind Lennok and threatened the priests with an expressionless face.
“I had some business to do, so I came back to the temple, and it wasn’t much of a fuss.”
“I have no face….”
“Tell the Archbishop he will be very pleased.”
The faces of the priests turn pale at the words of Jaif, who casually mentions Archbishop Nydri.
“I’m sorry. Until the ceremony starts, we’ll try to get things under control as much as possible… … .”
“No. I don’t need it, so everyone go away.”
Zaif murmured coldly and nodded at Lennok.
“I am with Martinez, an apostle specially invited for this ceremony. This friend will solve the problem with the temple.”
“yes? But how could he do what even the high priests of the temple couldn’t do… … .”
Squeak… … !!
As soon as he finished speaking, Lennok put his hand into the sewer and stopped the flowing water.
The eyes of the priests opened wide when only a finger-thick stream of water flowed out of the water pipe that had been pumping up several people.
Lennok brushed off his drenched arm and muttered the promised lines.
“Is this enough?”
“The matter that could not be solved even though dozens of priests clinging to the underground waterway… … .”
“I would have told you.”
“sorry!!”
When Jaif glared at the priests with cold eyes, he closed his mouth tightly and lowered his head.
“I don’t like the Far East branch’s poor management skills, but I will especially turn a blind eye to it as the consciousness is imminent.”
Looking at the heads of those priests, Lennok spoke very naturally.
Watching the priests raise their heads in awe, he slightly lifted the hood he was wearing and smiled softly.
“We will keep the commotion this evening a secret between us. Do you understand?”
“Apostle Martinez…!!”
An unusual situation in which the apostles, who had been scolding until just now, were gently overcoming the situation.
As if there were no priests who were not impressed by this small favor, everyone calls Lennok and Zaif by their names in watery voices.
Looking at those priests, Lennok opened his mouth once more as if asking for something natural.
“From now on, we will check all the facilities inside the temple that have problems and fix them so that we can prepare.”
“All right!!”
Priests who reported in detail the location of the facility where the problem originated without even a hint of suspicion.
Lennok began walking around the Crystal Palace without hesitation, guided by the kindly guidance of the priests who blew the structure of the temple’s facilities into their mouths.
“The power distribution box near the spire exploded. Guide me.”
Ordinary priests go in and out of Beecher as they please.
“Why is the water pipe near the basement vault like this? I’ll get my hands on it from now on, so don’t let anyone in.”
With the vault door wide open, he roamed freely among the offerings the church had collected.
“Can’t you open the office? So, when the archbishop comes back, is it okay if there is a flood in his room?”
The empty archbishop’s office is also proudly entered with mud feet.
It’s not just about fixing the facilities or rooms you visit.
Instead of repairing the place where Lennok directly stepped, he repeatedly overloaded and destroyed other nearby facilities.
In other words, by repeating the work of repairing 1 and destroying 2, you can come up with a legitimate reason to visit all the facilities inside the temple once.
Some of the facilities that Lennok repaired were even better than they were originally, to the point where they were praised by the apostles.
“The automatic control system of the water valve has been restored…!!”
“Apostle Martinez has been unable to fix something that no one has been able to fix for decades!”
“I heard that the error of recognizing the entrance to the incinerator has also been resolved, and the magic circuit is tangled and cannot be solved at all….”
“Thank you, Apostle Martinez!!”
“There are more facilities that have problems. If you don’t mind, I’ll direct you… … !!”
It is an ironic situation that Lennok himself is receiving a lot of admiration and respect as he repairs the damaged facility and then breaks it down again.
Dismissed!!
“Wrong. There’s nothing special here. Moderately destroy nearby facilities again and move on.”
“…I can’t easily raise my face at my ignorance.”
After rummaging through the shelves of the archbishop’s desk, he brushed it off and stood up.
As he watched Lennok, Jaif’s voice was now filled with faint reverence.
“I didn’t know that the work could be solved so perfectly under the pretext of repairing the inner facilities of the temple. I apologize for doubting you for a moment.”
Jaif, who watched everything from start to finish, was right next to him, so he knows how absurd the situation is.
All these moments of achieving the goal like flowing water by playing with the inner facilities of the temple as well as the psychology of the priests are unrealistic.
At this moment, it seemed that Zeif would have no doubts if Lennok told him to arrest and kill the priests immediately.
“The problem isn’t that, Apostle Zaif.”
Lennok replied, jingling a handful of artifacts from the safe.
“We’ve searched almost every place we thought we’d have, and strangely there’s no trace of it.”
“…You mean the archbishop was so meticulous in keeping secrets?”
The look of Zaif, who doesn’t even think that Lennok lied about the Archbishop.
“It is rather suspicious because there are no traces. Still don’t know?”
Originally, Lennok’s plan was to destroy the temple’s internal facilities and weaken the security to make it easy to disrupt the selection ceremony.
Saying that the archbishop was hiding a secret was just an excuse to convince Zaif.
But after scouring almost every facility in the temple like a rat, Lennok had no choice but to admit that he was catching rats by walking backwards.
“It is unnatural that there is nothing but confidential documents that are officially used inside the church even after searching through everything from the safe to the office. This may turn out to be bigger than we thought… … .”
In the process of running an organization, getting dirty is an inevitable result.
In particular, if it was a Guido Order that spanned the entire continent, no matter how strong they were armed with their faith, they could not help it.
What about the Far East branch, which was said to be responsible for the supply of each branch outside the continent?
The fact that even though it is normal to come out with at least some clues related to internal corruption or cover-up work, there is no sign of the temple of the branch where the ceremony of selecting the apostle is taking place.
It was impossible unless the secret the church was hiding was much bigger than that and hiding it from a higher level than expected.
If Lennok’s magic detection can’t find any clues, then there’s virtually nothing to see here.
The moment when Lennok and Zaif, who had left the archbishop’s office, were walking quickly down the aisle.
“Apostle Zaif?”
A young man walking across from me suddenly called Zaif’s name.
The impression that the body looks exceptionally light. Seeing as he called Zaif without hesitation, he must have been a high-ranking priest within the church.
Sure enough, Jaif also frowned as if he was slightly troubled as he answered.
“…Bishop Tritan.”
“I thought it was strange that he didn’t show up for the service, so what the hell are you doing here?”
Tritan’s eyes shone sharply.
“I think I need to explain what all this fuss is about.”
