Chapter 381. Cry an angel (1)
“Have you ever taken a shower with 2 billion liters of holy water?”
flinch!
A question that Lloyd brought out calmly.
Hellknight Sir Geolexius, who was listening by the side, flinched.
At the words ‘2 billion liters of holy water’, the second cervical vertebrae trembled in a conditional reflex.
Xaviel, on the other hand, elegantly furrowed his eyebrows like a picture.
“Holy water.”
“Don’t you know?”
“Of course I know.”
“yes?”
“yes.”
Xaviel nodded.
“I have heard that it is holy water that high-ranking priests make with devotion and prayer. It is said to have great power in exterminating most of the undead, including the specter, demon, and Satan.”
“yes. It’s amazing.”
Lloyd nodded too.
Literally, the power of the holy water was enormous.
How much of a zombie ghoul?
It is said that even a drop or two splashed on the body would cause it to swell and disappear.
Did they say that even the powerful Satan who descended directly from hell would become as weak as an ordinary person if covered with holy water?
“That means even the Hell Knights will be harmed by the holy water. If you overwrite properly, you won’t be able to use your power properly for a while.”
“I guess so. It will probably be weakened enough for an ordinary sword master to deal with.”
“Exactly.”
Lloyd smiled contentedly.
Xaviel tilted her head.
“But that makes me question the feasibility of the plan.”
“Suspicious?”
“yes.”
“Do you think my plan is absurd?”
“Yes, a little.”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you just say 2 billion liters of holy water?”
“uh. It did.”
“So it is.”
Xaviel furrowed his beautiful eyebrows again.
He spoke with lips as if drawn with a master’s brush.
“I wondered if there was any way to get that much holy water. I once heard and remembered that a very outstanding priest of the highest rank said that he could barely get enough holy water to fill an ink bottle only by praying and starving for 100 days.”
“uh. That’s right. Exactly.”
“But 2 billion liters. Isn’t that too absurd?”
“Yeah, it’s not very absurd.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to get the undiluted solution for making holy water directly, not holy water.”
Lloyd’s smirk widened.
He hinted at Xaviel.
“Left angel Raphael.”
“…ah.”
Xaviel paused.
Lloyd twirled even more.
“You understand now? my plan.”
“Are you trying to get angel tears?”
“uh. of course.”
Lloyd nodded confidently.
It’s quite possible and it’s a win-win game.
“You, too, have heard of the efficacy of angel tears, right?”
“yes. When I was young, a pilgrim who visited the village once told the story of theology to the village children.”
“Did you hear that?”
“yes. It is said that the tears of angels are a powerful raw material for making holy water.”
“that’s right. Exactly. Just one drop of angel’s tears can make a lot of holy water.”
“but…Wouldn’t 2 billion liters be too exaggerated?”
“why?”
“When I was young, I heard that the amount of holy water that can be made from one drop of angel’s tear is about 1 liter. Am I doing something wrong?”
Xaviel tilted her head.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
Lloyd’s boast about making 2 billion liters of holy water.
Lloyd’s attitude of showing such confidence while making such boasts so proudly.
“huh. learned it right you know right To give you a more accurate manufacturing ratio, mixing 1 milliliter of angel’s tears with 1 liter of clear water makes 1 liter of holy water.”
said Lloyd, grinning.
It was true.
What if you mix angel’s tears in a ratio of 1 to 1000?
Excellent holy water is made.
‘The proportions are a bit different, but it’s the same as mixing water with bleach.’
It was a roughly similar principle.
Just as when cleaning bathrooms, etc., you can mix water with lacquer solution to make cleaning lacquer water.
A little bit of angel’s tears mixed with water in the right proportions makes good, standard, and universally valid holy water. Zombies, ghouls, demons, etc. can be eliminated like mold in tile gaps.
Recalling that fact, Lloyd added.
“But that was when I got the tears of a ninth-class angel, the lowest.”
“Are the tears of higher angels more powerful?”
“uh.”
Lloyd nodded.
He said with eyes that he didn’t know the requirements.
“The concentration of tears increases by 10 times for each level of angel level.”
“Then please….”
“That’s right. You can make 10 liters of holy water with 1 milliliter of 8th grade angel’s tears and 100 liters of holy water with 1 milliliter of 7th grade angel’s tears. Simple arithmetic arithmetic. So, how many liters of holy water can be made from 1 milliliter of the tears of a third-class angel?”
“….”
“Hey, it’s arithmetic.”
“….”
“Are you counting yet?”
“No, I finished the calculation as soon as I heard the words. however….”
“however?”
“hundred…It came out with a calculation of 10,000 liters.”
“Yes, correct answer. Good calculation.”
Lloyd said with a proud expression like a teacher with a red pen.
“That calculation is correct. Theoretically, one milliliter of the tears of a third-class angel can make one million liters of holy water.”
“….”
“If you have 10 milliliters, if you have 10 million, if you have 100 milliliters, if you have 100 million, what if you have 1 liter? It’s an acquisition obtained by pouring 1 billion liters of holy water.”
“….”
“So, I only need to draw out 2 liters of left angel tears.”
“….”
“hey.”
“….”
“Why are you not talking?”
“Oh, that.”
Xaviel replied, furrowing her brow.
“I was very worried because earlier the plan seemed unrealistic.”
“however?”
“Now I’m starting to feel sorry for Mr. Raphael.”
“why?”
“Because Lloyd-sama seems to be able to easily draw two liters of tears from anyone, even an angel.”
“hey. I am not an exploiter of human depravity without any blood or tears.”
“….”
“Did you really think so?”
nod
Xaviel nodded seriously and silently.
Lloyd let out a snort.
I want to refute it, but somehow I can’t.
“Anyway, you know the plan now, right? All you have to do is squeeze 2 liters of tears from the left angel. how is it?”
That’s it.
It can make enough 2 billion liters of holy water.
It’s an amount that can make you experience the very Barribian Bay wave pool because you can’t take a shower, whether it’s a Hell Knight Corps or something.
‘Of course, I also had in mind how to secure the water to make it, how to make it, and how to spray it.’
The comprehensive plan that included all of them was Plan B.
Lloyd revisited his plan.
Xaviel shrugged.
“If it’s theoretically possible, it’s worth a try.”
“yes? So, what do you think, Lexi?”
– …I’m afraid.
“huh? what?”
Hellknight Sir Geolexius shrugged his shoulder blades.
– Just hearing about 2 billion liters of holy water gives me goosebumps. Surely you’re not planning on sprinkling holy water on me, are you?
“of course. But let’s ask Kim who said it. What will happen if you fall into holy water?”
– It will be similar to what you said earlier. It will be as weak as a normal sword master.
“How long does the weakened state last?”
– I think it will take at least an hour to get away from the blows of the holy water and regain its original power.
“Hmm. It’s perfect.”
– Yes sir. However, there is one downside.
“What’s not good about it?”
– The plan your lord revealed to Lord Asrahan is excellent. If you have a clear idea of how to make holy water, and if you realize it, you’ll get a lot of holy water. but…Shouldn’t we meet the angel first in order to obtain the angel’s tears as planned?
“uh. yes?”
– I’m worried about that. I just wanted to know how the human lord would meet an angel and if that would be possible.
“aha. So, how do I, an ordinary person who is not even a high-ranking priest, descend angels? Are you worried about that?”
– Yes sir. It seems like a challenge that must be overcome if a great plan is to be realized.
Sir Geolexius blinked his eyes seriously.
Lloyd put one hand on his chin.
“A task. Well, no worries about that.”
– yes?
“I did another assignment meticulously well.”
A smile on the corners of your lips.
It was true without exaggeration.
I was the one who did an amazing job on one assignment.
No matter how hard, difficult, busy and tired you are.
I never missed an assignment.
‘of course. I went to school with the money I earned during my leave of absence. If I didn’t get even the slightest grade, I felt like crying because it was such a waste of money I gave to school.’
I couldn’t care less.
I had no choice but to become evil.
Reminds me of those days when it was a series of difficult efforts.
Lloyd grinned.
“Besides, it looks like the task has just been completed.”
– Yes?”
The Hell Knight asked and tilted his skull.
Lloyd pointed at the back of Sir Geolexius with his chin.
“back. You must have heard us. It might be an unexpected encounter for you.”
– what…What?
The Hell Knight, who looked behind him following his chin, was startled.
Suddenly, he realized the presence standing behind him and said with his lower jaw trembling.
– The Left Left Angel!
Hell Knight’s solemn and earnest call.
The left angel Raphael responded to that call.
However, the reaction was not a bloody and tense hostile confrontation.
It wasn’t even creating a battle atmosphere that seemed like they would collide at any moment.
So, the Left Angel and the Hell Knight unexpectedly shook hands as soon as they confirmed each other.
“haha? Commander of the 1st Hell Corps? It’s been a while.”
– Right. It’s been a while. Is this the first time since Shinma War?
“Perhaps? Is your mother in good health?”
– passed away 3761 years ago.
“oh. Oops. what to do….”
– You were old. at least you had a good time
“this. I was busy with work so I couldn’t come to see you. I offer my condolences, albeit belatedly.”
– Okay. After all, aren’t we the ones who live in the rush of our own work?
“That would be true. That’s why you had to clash swords with me during the Shinma War.”
– It did. Although I had a slight edge.
“uh? Did you? From what I remember, I think I had a bit of an advantage.”
– Tsk tsk. This is a problem with angels these days. I don’t have a very good memory.
“Whoop whoop. Would only the corps commander do it?”
– Hmm? Then make a bet here and check it out again?
“Be patient. I am a guest of Yeongji.”
– what?
“That’s why I ran into the corps commander like this while staying here. Isn’t it?”
Left Angel Raphael smiled and turned around.
Lloyd responded with a wry smile.
And I thought to myself.
‘also. The setting in Iron Blooded Knight was correct. It’s good that you brought me to the territory without worrying about Hell Knight.’
Suddenly, the contents of the novel Iron Blooded Knight came to mind.
There was a setting mentioned there.
‘Heaven and Hell are not opposed to each other. Of course, when there is something to collide with, there are times when we fight and stir-fry things like Shinma Daejeon, but that’s a very exceptional situation.’
Basically, it wasn’t an adversarial relationship.
Rather, it was like a relationship between different departments of a company.
‘It’s like a different series of administrative positions that run the world under the same god.’
So, what if the heavenly world is the administrative handling unit in charge of overall world operations, including prayer and civil complaint handling?
Hell could be said to be a special post-mortem department in charge of the death of the body and the punishment of the soul.
‘So even if there is a conflict, it’s not about killing or saving with personal feelings, but because of business interests. It’s like roasting and roasting different departments within the company.’
So what about angels and hell knights?
There were also many cases where they had personal friendships that transcended the strife between departments.
Just like the left angel Raphael and Sir Geolexius, the commander of the 1st Corps of Hell, who are chatting and saying that it is nice to see them after a long time.
‘Anyway, I can’t ask for Heaven’s support for this invasion of the Hell Corps for similar reasons. Heaven is not a force hostile to Hell. Maybe it’s because he’s neutral about the restoration of destiny, or he’s in agreement with Hell.’
So it was.
In a situation where I couldn’t hope for the help of the dragon king Berkis.
I didn’t ask for help from Heaven.
Didn’t expect help.
Because I knew very well that it would be useless.
“Anyway, since you know Lexi well, you don’t need to introduce yourself.”
“Lexi? Isn’t that the nickname of the 1st Corps Commander?”
“yes. Because you decided to work with me. First of all, for 5 years. as a contract worker.”
“Oops.”
Embarrassment appeared in the left angel Raphael’s gaze.
Soon, the eyes of an angel looking back at Lord Geolexius were filled with pity.
His eyes were full of sympathy, wondering how he could have signed a labor contract with such a person.
“Brigade commander, maybe…Did you hear the song?”
– Hey, you too?
“….”
– ….
Their deep eyes, tired of the sympathy they send toward each other, even for a moment.
A bitter smile bloomed on Lloyd’s lips.
“Whatever my song is. For once, it went well. It just happened that the left angel had an business.”
“What is it? You mean me?”
“yes.”
“What kind of business is it?”
He was a left angel who was already well aware of Lloyd’s cleverness.
He asked Lloyd, showing a bit of caution (?).
But the Left Angel was nervous or not.
Lloyd said he didn’t care.
“Hey, by any chance, while listening to my song, would you shed a lot of tears if each armpit hair was pulled out slowly and meticulously?”
