Chapter 273. The end of the saintess (2)
Kuuuung!
There was a sound of something rumbling from the floor.
“No way…
Dia hastily cast flight magic.
At the same time, the place where they stood began to collapse.
“You are doing something useless.”
Are you going to destroy the fort and escape?
Dia prepared a magic to arrest the saintess.
However, soldiers were swept away by the rubble of the collapsing wall and fell.
They are soldiers of the Holy Land, not allies.
It looks like he couldn’t avoid it.
If things go that way, the soldiers caught up will fall to their deaths.
Dia pointed her staff at them and changed the spell cast.
There was no hesitation in that action.
The wind entangled the fallen soldiers, slowed down, and safely reached the ground.
After saving them, when Dia blinked, the saintess was nowhere to be seen.
I tried detecting magic, but it had no effect.
“sorry. I missed the saintess.”
Dia grumbled and apologized.
“are you okay. You did a good job.”
Through the communication port she was wearing, Arell spoke to Dia in a kinder tone than usual, as if comforting her.
“Arel.”
“You did really well. So never mind. The rest… I’ll do anything.”
That voice may sound irresponsible, but somehow I felt a sense of relief.
Why do I feel like what’s really going to happen?
?
u huh ?????? her ?????? shit?????? It’s like damn
things.”
Nelvenia was wandering through the woods, spitting out swear words that she wouldn’t normally say.
This is a forest located near Caylan Fort.
It is a place where soldiers are reluctant to enter because the mountains are usually rough and wild animals and monsters come out from time to time.
To break down the wall and escape from the sorceress Dia Reki, Nelvenia chose this place as her escape route.
If it were here, the Ernesia Kingdom army would not be able to pursue it easily.
Instead, if you stay too long, you will be at risk.
A terrible pain invades her consciousness, as if her body had been destroyed by the recoil of her forced movement.
First of all, measures were taken as soon as possible, but it is doubtful how long it will last.
She forcibly led her battered body through the woods.
‘First of all, the saints…. I have to go back to the saints and
find another way.
How will you stand up to an army that has even defeated a dragon?
In addition, even with the strength of the individual saintess, none of Arel’s aides could defeat her.
Even the infectious disease, which is his specialty, is not able to exert his power.
It was miserably crowded.
Even so, Nelvenia couldn’t admit it.
“Because she was born again for this, she gritted her teeth and burst into anger.
Nelvenia Weinstel.
She was only seven years old when she was chosen as a saint of the Holy Land.
A girl who revealed all kinds of talents and qualities at such a young age was called a saint in the church, and was praised.
And Nelvenia, too, has been working hard for her people in order to show a proper appearance as a saint.
By suppressing the high-ranking priests who look down on him.
The politics of the Holy Land…. I tried to return the warmth of the religious order only to the people of the Holy Land.
Nelvenia, who showed such an appearance even at a young age, was praised by many people in the castle.
The priests were also thrilled and shed tears.
However, Nelvenia worked only for the sake of the Holy Kingdom in silence, no matter what they praised.
It was natural for Nelvenia.
Because that was her wish.
“How come even with the power he gave me, this result…
She gnashed her teeth and recalled distant memories.
There is one secret in the Zelnian Castle Kingdom.
To be precise, it was the secret of those revered as saints.
The moment they pray for the first time after being chosen as saints, they hear someone’s voice.
That voice calls itself ‘the one who watches over the Holy Land’ and gives various teachings to the saints.
Sometimes it’s knowledge.
Sometimes it’s an ability.
Sometimes it is also different.
And to the chosen saints, they taught their role and the true meaning of being a saint.
Those who practice His teachings.
Upon learning of this fact, the saints’ reactions were varied.
Some saints were thrilled that it was a revelation from God.
Some saints feared it because it was the devil’s whisper.
and which year
A newly chosen girl as a saint of this generation.
As soon as Ramilla Perelia entered the prayer room to pray for the first time, she learned a secret passed down from generation to generation in the Holy Land.
These were the first words that came out of her lips when she heard that voice.
“…Then why are the people of the castle suffering?”
Ramilla was born in a poor village on the outskirts of the Holy Land.
He had bigger questions than anyone else because he grew up watching many people suffer from hunger.
Why are the people of the castle poor?
Why do the people of the Holy City suffer from hunger while clinging only to their faith?
And after ten days of being chosen as a saint and staying in the city, she realized the reason.
There are too many greedy people in the Holy Land.
The high-ranking priests used faith as bait to extort believers and fulfill their desires.
Seonghwang is also oblivious to the reality, clinging only to his fanatical faith.
That a person’s stomach cannot be sated by prayer alone.
“Did you say teaching? But why is the Holy Kingdom the way it is?”
He gave her the answers to her questions.
He only teaches knowledge.
It just teaches you how to build strength.
I won’t interfere with how you practice it.
And the saints of successive generations said that they used it only for the church.
Just making expensive holy water and giving grace to the high priests.
Ramilla asked.
If so, should you lead a life no different from those saints’?
Should I just devote my learned grace to the ugly?
He said no.
To that fact, she answered without hesitation.
“Then, I will use that knowledge as I wish.”
According to his teachings, Ramilla, who awakened his abilities and accumulated strength and knowledge, carried out extensive reforms in the Holy Kingdom.
He took back the property he had accumulated unjustly and returned it to the people of the castle without exception.
At that time, Seonghwang only believed in the words of the high-ranking priests and stood up against himself, but she suppressed it with just force.
So many people were saved under the name of the saint.
But she couldn’t get out of one agony.
This alone is not enough.
Even if the lives of the citizens of the province have improved, it is temporary. This alone does not solve the fundamental problem.
Ramilla opened the map.
Charity alone cannot save man.
Even at this moment, other countries continue to wage war to kill each other.
Refugees continue to flow into the Holy Land, fleeing the war.
Why are we fighting such a miserable war?
The reason is simple.
It’s just for the sake of prosperity, but what about the Holy Kingdom?
Even though they are suffering from different races, they are starving to death with only useless kindness.
finally decided
to give up self-love.
The only thing he can save is to limit himself to this fence called the holy kingdom.
In this way, he clearly drew a line between his limitations and reality.
After that, Ramilla started trading with other countries on a large scale.
Outwardly, they pretended to sell holy water and sell medicine, and made other countries to make deals in favor of the holy country.
And any country that could be a hindrance to the Holy Kingdom was condemned as a heresy, and a holy war was declared and trampled on.
It was around that time that the technology for using contagious diseases was established.
Originally, she wanted the power she should be afraid of, saying it was the work of the devil, and was taught by herself.
But what was lacking was time.
As the years passed and his body and mind grew old, he was no longer able to make the same determination as before.
The high priests, too, became greedy again when her watch was neglected.
Even if she tried to raise a successor, no one agreed with her ideas.
To make matters worse, the crusade with Ernesia Kingdom also failed.
I was devastated by that fact.
Human life is short and time is running out to change the world.
At least, if I had a little more time in my life, then I would be able to build a strong kingdom that no other country can surpass.
at that time.
He heard his voice, which had not been heard for decades.
[Do you want a chance…? That’s good. Until now, the saints have only listened to what I have been told. You are the first to actively want it. That’s interesting enough.]
I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but if you’re interested in this side, there’s nothing to wish for right now.
Ramilla sincerely relied on that voice.
I eagerly shouted that I would do anything.
So, once again the opportunity was seized by Him.
It was a truly mystical experience.
That’s how Ramilla ended many firsts in life, seizing on that new opportunity.
After experiencing death, her consciousness wandered in the darkness where nothing could be seen.
is this death? I didn’t even think about it.
How long have you been floating like that? I feel a new light.
When I opened my eyes, it was a strange feeling to see an unfamiliar ceiling.
It is truly an experience that you will not know unless you are the person involved.
Surprisingly, she was born again.
He was reborn with all his memories and consciousness intact!
I don’t know the principle.
He just taught me that it was a secret technique to lead a new life.
It was called a past life.
He clearly said so.
Reborn in her home village on the outskirts of the Holy Land, she was given the name Nelvenia in this lifetime.
As she grew up, she realized how great it was to be reborn with the experience and knowledge of her previous life intact.
At the age of only seven, as she was revered as a new saint by the adults around her, Nelvenia was called to the saints earlier than planned.
Upon returning, she returned to the prayer room first.
[He’s back.]
The voice he heard didn’t change either.
“Yes, I am back.”
Nelvenia, who was inaugurated as a saint again, first reformed like in her previous life.
Unfortunately, the saintess chosen after her previous life was an incompetent bitch.
In the meantime, the Seongguk was open again.
First of all, Nelvenia removed the castle.
It was simple to decorate it as a soldier.
For her, who had studied countless diseases in her past life, it was too simple to quietly take her life without any sign.
After that, the inauguration of a new emperor was blocked, citing the reason that he had not received a revelation from God.
more active than before.
Developing new artifacts.
The Holy Knights were reorganized and prepared for the war.
Some of the dirty alien races were also driven out, and the territory of the Holy Kingdom was also expanded.
Haven’t you already done it once?
Second, I was confident that I could do better.
However, an unexpected problem arose.
It is the existence of Ernesia Kingdom.
The economy of the kingdom began to grow rapidly.
I had been thinking about other countries, including the three major powers, from before.
However, after the establishment of the Ernesia Kingdom, the Merman Empire was an empire, and its status fell.
Even right after Nelvania received her second life, her condition got even worse.
So do other countries.
There was no noticeable progress.
However, Ernesia Kingdom was a problem.
All of a sudden, new products and species were brought in, and they began to accumulate enormous wealth.
10 years? Five years? It was growth to the point where even if it was just tomorrow, the difference would widen.
Nelvenia was genuinely appalled by that and tried to find the cause.
