The Last Crusade (3)
‘Now that I think about it…
Sirone remembered Ares’ occupation as an explorer and quickly agreed.
‘You said you were making maps.’
Ares said.
“I hear you everywhere I go. How about with Amy? “Are you doing well?”
“Are you sure you haven’t gone to your parents’ house?”
“haha! That’s how it happened in life. “Sometimes I send letters, but I never get a reply.”
Ares looked happy, and that was truly the free-spirited Karmis family.
“Anyway…
After the happy reunion, he became aware of the gazes of those around him and spoke in a whisper.
“Let’s go to a quiet place first. Are you trying to enter the Pyramid of Truth? “Talk to me.”
Although the thought that it was a dangerous mission did not change, it was good to hear about Ares’s current status.
“Then shall we have a meal?”
“good. My team is waiting. I’ll introduce it to you, so take a close look. “They are all capable people.”
Sirone was not swayed by the words that subtly encouraged the atmosphere through an interview.
Ares asked while heading to where his teammates were.
“How are you been?”
I knew who it was without even asking.
Stang National School of Magic.
The last training ended around sunset.
“ha. ha.”
The Wizard let out a heavy breath, but his expression was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
‘I did it.’
Everything Sirone could teach was literally Sirone’s essence.
“Congratulations, Wizard.”
The teachers applauded and Sirone and Amy, who had been observing the training, walked over.
The reason she couldn’t just laugh was because her first real fight was so harsh.
‘Can I do it?’
Murder.
‘Even if you are the worst human in the universe, it is not easy to kill someone. You have to think about it separately from skill. If Wizard hesitated even for a moment…
Harvitz would not miss the opportunity.
“teacher.”
The Wizard looked up at Shirone with clear eyes.
‘Good eyes.’
Clear and clear eyes that don’t seem to be able to kill anyone, not even a bug.
‘But that’s why it’s possible.’
I don’t intend to glorify it, but Wizard’s thoughts nevertheless transcended the category of murder.
‘I have no resentment towards Havitz, nor any special purpose or will. ‘Purity that transcends humanity.’
Therefore, vanishing can be detected.
‘It’s like a natural phenomenon. No, the spirit is already nature. To describe Wizard…
should I say Good Havitz?
The deep meaning contained in those words weighed heavily on my heart.
‘The only natural enemy. ‘This is the only way.’
Now she knew Sirone’s feelings just by looking at his eyes, and said with a smile.
“Everything is ready.”
“okay. let’s go.”
Jybro where the temple general assembly is held.
“Take a good rest today. I will leave the Kingdom of Stang tomorrow. “I will follow you too.”
“yes. “Thank you for everything.”
When Shirone sighed as he saw the Wizard walking away, Amy shrugged his shoulders.
“You did your best. “Let’s believe it.”
“That’s right.”
Sirone’s eyes became vague for a moment and he turned his head as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Oh, by the way, have you heard the news from Ares?”
“huh? My brother? No, I didn’t hear it. Why all of a sudden’?”
“Well… actually, he’s with me right now. In the Kingdom of Paras. “I guess they want to investigate the pyramids.”
Amy, who had been blinking with a blank expression, suddenly frowned.
“This idiot…
Then he pulled Sirone’s ear and shouted.
“hey! If your limbs are alive and well, you should come home at least once! Do you know how worried Mom and Dad are?”
“Ouch!”
Sirone squinted one eye, but Amy was in a half-lost state.
“There is no news whether he is dead or alive!” The only letter I sent was a bloody picture and I really…
“Stop, stop!”
Sirone stroked her ear and grumbled.
“That’s not how you do it. This…
But the moment I saw the tears in Amy’s eyes, I couldn’t say anything.
“You really thought she was dead…
Sirone hugged Amy and patted her back.
“are you okay. “I’m doing well.”
Wizard turned around at the entrance to the training ground and
was watching for a long time.
Nagnag Oasis.
“I think you should contact me after this is over. “I’m very worried.”
Ares smiled forlornly.
“…Is that so?”
If you love your job too much, you may end up hurting the people you love.
“Ares!”
Sirone looked ahead at the husky voice.
Three people who appeared to be Ares’ team members were looking puzzled.
Sirone recognized one of them.
‘Great Swordsman Yufra.’
Except for the fact that he had grown a gray beard, he looked almost the same as when he was young as recorded in Omega.
‘Master of the twin swords. Warlike personality.’
Although he must have been well past his 60s, he still seemed to be active.
The other two people looked like a couple, but they were in their late 20s and were wearing priestly clothes.
the woman asked.
“Ares who are these people?” Ares smiled brightly and introduced Shirone as if he had never done that before.
“Arian Sirone. “He’s Amy’s boyfriend.”
That was all the introduction, but there were very few people in the world who did not know Sirone.
“Yahweh?”
“nice to see you. I…
Sirone, who was about to shake hands, saw the priests’ brows furrowed slightly.
‘It’s Lami Church.’
If you were reluctant to hear the word Yahweh, the only ones who were Lamish were those who believed in only one god.
The man looked back at Ares.
“What happened?” They were asking why they were brought here, even though they knew about the relationship between Ramism and Yahweh.
Ares scratched his head.
“No, that’s it…
If it were something else, there’s no need to introduce it, but this time, the situation was different.
“I was rejected by the government office. “I even showed him a certificate from the minister, but it was no use.”
The woman raised one eyebrow.
“What does that mean? “It took a lot of lobbying…or persuasion from the Vatican to get it.”
After looking at Sirone’s gaze, she continued speaking.
“Give it to me. “I’ll go and come back.”
“There’s no need for that. No matter what I say, they won’t listen. First of all, the king has changed. Moreover, there are rumors that the king is not normal this time. the man asked.
“so. What does that have to do with bringing Yahweh? “Are you saying this person can go in?”
“That’s right.”
“huh?”
“I have a pass approved directly by the king. “If this is the case, we also get a free pass.”
Sirone intervened.
“I never said I was accompanying you?”
While the priests’ expressions became serious, Ares pushed Sirone’s back and spoke.
“now! So, let’s eat something.”
Ares, who was taking Sirone and his group, looked back at the priest and his group and winked.
the woman asked.
“…What are you going to do?”
“Let’s go first. “The Pope also has high expectations for this expedition.”
If there is something in the outside world, it must be the one God that Lamigyo believes in.
The 10 people who gathered in the restaurant sat side by side across a long table.
When Ares introduced himself, Canis and Arin looked surprised.
‘That person is Ares. I didn’t realize it was because of the beard, but now I see that his eyes resemble Amy’s.’
Archeology and cartography are different fields, but in the broad sense they are the same field.
“As you may have guessed, the two priests here are priests of the Ramic Church.”
The man’s name was Glenn and the woman’s name was Lucia.
“Did you know that the Vatican is divided into two departments? Diocesan Administration and Holy Orders.”
“Ah yes.”
There is a Paladin in the Holy Knights’ Office.
“Glen and Rukia work at the Diocese Administration Office. “Both of them are the best priests.”
I guessed the meaning because faith for a priest is like mental power for a wizard.
‘Well, if it were a mission to investigate an ancient civilization, the Vatican wouldn’t have sent just anyone.’
Next, the Great Swordsman Yufra was introduced, and then it was Sirone’s turn. Glenn and Lucia listened calmly, but their expressions changed when the 12 apostles came out.
‘Dragon.’
A few days ago, I saw an oasis filled with the breath of Bingryong and Giryong.
Although I am now polymorphed, the eerie feeling from that time still remains in my body.
Ares cleared his throat.
“Well then, since we’ve made a full statement, shall we listen until the food comes? How did you get the king’s approval? “When I heard about him, they said he was a nerd and an outcast.”
“I received help from Mr. Zulu.” As Shirone told what had happened, Ares and the others nodded as if they were convinced.
“Hmm, you stayed for quite a long time. Still, I’m glad I got the permit. So…
Ares pointed at himself with his thumb.
“Please join us too.”
“No.” Ares made a blank expression, probably not expecting to be rejected so quickly, and Glenn and Rukia narrowed their eyes.
“sorry. “I want to help, but this is really dangerous.”
“How do you know that?” Glenn argued.
“The Vatican also has eyes and ears. “The very ancient civilization is a place related to the outside world, but no one knows what kind of place it is.” Sirone knew.
“Shall I tell you? Yahweh, you don’t want those Lamishites investigating the Pyramid of Truth. “If the existence of God is proven there, Yahweh will become a pseudo-believer.”
“That doesn’t matter.”
“But why not? Do you think we, who are called the best priests of the Vatican, will give up because it is dangerous? Ares and Yufra here are probably stronger than the friends sitting next to you, right?”
Canis got angry.
“What’s wrong?”
“Canis, hold on for now.”
Arin tried to stop him, but Canis’ shadow was already extending beyond his back.
‘Magic creature.’
As long arms emerged from both sides of the shadow, Yufra finally showed his will.
Ares held out both hands.
“what? Why is the atmosphere like this? He’s my sister’s boyfriend. “Everyone, decide for now.”
Shirone didn’t want to fight either.
“This has no meaning. I received it while in transit. “It is also within my power to form a team.”
Glenn didn’t lose either.
“It is our power to explore the existence of God. “If we can’t go in, you can’t go in either.”
Canis said.
“Shirone, let’s just take it. Did Glenn say it? “Does the God you believe in want to take away other people’s passes?”
Glenn’s face turned red.
“Do not take God’s name anywhere! This is my personal fight!”
“Haha, are you an individual at times like this? Well, you guys…
“Stop it!”
Rukia jumped up and shouted.
“Stop blaspheming God! It’s because of me that Glenn is like this. Glenn, let’s just give up.”
“No, you can’t do that. “I will go to the Pyramid of Truth no matter what it takes.”
Canis said.
“Then get a pass and bring it with you.”
Glenn, not paying attention to the sarcastic remarks, glared straight at Sirone.
“Let’s decide here. Who are the right people to explore God, you or me?”
“Let me be clear: I refuse. I don’t want to fight with anyone. “I’m sorry Ares.”
Since Glenn was the one who ruined the mood, Ares had nothing to say this time.
“Let’s go.”
As Sirone tried to leave, Glenn ran towards him with his eyes raised in horror.
“Wait a minute!”
“Glen! Please… hehe!”
Rukia, who was standing up to stop her lover, suddenly clutched her chest and fell to the floor.
“Rukia!”
“iced coffee! iced coffee!”
My whole body was shaking from the immense pain, and the veins along my neck rose to my cheeks.
“Rukia! Wake! Hang in there! Rukia!”
Sirone noticed immediately.
“Emotional illness.”
A disease created by the devil had flown to the Vatican on the winds of the continent.
