Episode 37 The festival in the elf village of its own castle
is over. A few drunken elves went into the house to rest, and no one knew what was going on outside.
Perhaps Aira kept her mouth shut.
After healing most of Pia’s wounds, Ray, who was about to sit down at the table to rest, asked back with a sense of wonder at the news from a young elf.
“huh?”
Are you looking for someone?
It was a part that was roughly expected who it was, so I wondered, but I didn’t wonder.
“How many people are there?”
“huh? There is only one…”
“One?”
At the elf’s answer, Ray tilted his head even more as if he didn’t know why.
one person Could it be that the saintess came alone?
Confusion ensued when unexpected circumstances arose.
Why did she come to the elven village alone?
In addition, I heard that they are pitching a tent and sleeping on the street.
Ray hurriedly moved.
Why the hell did she come?
‘Are you trying to appease me? Or are you trying to say something?’
Many thoughts came to my mind, but nothing was certain.
The quickened steps were already out of town.
When I reached the entrance and walked a little further, I could see several elves standing there.
Ray spoke to them.
“I’m here.”
“ray.”
“Where have you been? Was it a party for you today?”
“Did you play well even without me?”
Certainly, even without him, the elves had more fun than anyone else.
Knowing that fact, they also cleared their throats and avoided answering.
“Kuhm.”
“But who said they were looking for me?”
At his question, the blonde elf pointed to one side.
As I moved my gaze along his fingers, there was a sloppy tent.
The surroundings were dark, but it seemed strange that only there was a slightly bright light.
Looking at the person in the middle of the light, I realized that there was a face I hadn’t seen before, but a familiar face.
the person you think
Saint Iriel Beliaise.
I didn’t know why she was sleeping alone in a place like this, but if she came this far, it would be right to ask her intentions.
Ray walked slowly towards her.
Iriel was praying with his hands folded on his knees as if he was unaware that he had come so close.
I didn’t feel like I was in a situation to say something, so I was waiting quietly, but two elves came up behind me and shook their heads.
“It’s no use. It’s been that way since sunset.”
“I think it’s been at least three hours…”
Ray looked at her quite unexpectedly when he heard that.
It couldn’t have been a great concentration.
It was easier said than done to be able to do one thing in the same posture for three hours.
Besides, unlike her love of blood, which made her question whether she was a saint, she truly felt her heart to serve God.
Of course, I don’t agree with harming others because of it.
‘Still, I’ve been doing this for three hours… I’ll wake up soon.’
Ray had no choice but to wait for her.
In his opinion, it must have been she who pushed Pia, the guardian of the elves, so hard.
If she goes crazy and kills the guards, the only thing she can stop is herself.
It would be safer to stay here watching her.
Even though she was a saint, he did not completely believe in her.
‘Soon, soon.’
He passed the time chatting with the elf who stood guard.
It wasn’t difficult to wait this much time.
Ray, a self-proclaimed man with a great heart, was not a narrow-minded man obsessed with little patience.
* * *
Iriel, who thought he would wake up soon, did not wake up for a while after that.
By the time the elven guards had gone through two more shifts.
Finally she stopped her muttering and finished her prayer.
Iriel let out a sigh and rubbed his stiff neck with his hand to loosen it.
Then, without a trace, someone’s voice came from beside her.
“Do you want Moose… Ghidor… all day… to tell God about last night’s dinner…
” She felt a chill run down her backbone.
‘Could there be demons in a place like this?’
She quickly put the holy power on her right hand.
Then he turned his head so that the wind roared.
Then there was a saint looking down at him with a haggard expression.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even smile.
Seeing the bizarre figure of the saint, she slightly pulled her body back as if she felt a threat to her safety.
“Sir Seongjae?”
“A saint, a prince, a Nabal, why are you here?”
A sense of coercion flowed out, telling him to speak only about business as he looked tired.
If the one who was homeless was himself, why did the saint look like a beggar?
To be honest, I didn’t know that I would meet the saint again like this.
He came thinking that if he waited, he would meet him someday, and he was prepared to wait forever to keep the word of God.
If he was the one who was waiting for it, why is the saint waiting for him again?
Besides, ‘If you say useless words, I will kill you.’ With the same gaze, while applying pressure.
After Iriel finished his prayer, he couldn’t wake up to the sudden ordeal.
‘Oh God.’
He had just finished talking to God, but he could see himself seeking God once more.
In preparation for everything the saint would say, he had specifically thought about what kind of conversation would be more beneficial to him, but strangely, when he had a conversation with the saint right in front of him, the conversation never proceeded properly.
Of all the saints in history, she had heard that she had the most perfect job handling.
A self-proclaimed heart is like a great sea, said a great man who does not cling to small patience.
“You will regret it if you don’t speak sooner.”
There was anger in his voice.
Iriel suddenly answered.
“I have something to say to the saint…”
“Did you come to talk to me or to talk to your god?”
With a broad mind like Hahae, he said with great enthusiasm.
To those words, Iriel couldn’t respond hastily.
The saint is now in a state of extreme excitement, like a mad boar.
I don’t know how long I’ve waited for myself, but there’s no doubt that I’ve waited a full day.
He would go back to the village if he said anything out of place here.
she swallowed.
‘I have to say only business.’
The figure of the saint snorting enough to awaken her survival instinct made her doubt whether she was truly chosen by God.
Iriel, who shook his head to shake off his shaky faith, said with a stiff smile.
“To the Holy Land with me…”
Ray cut her off.
“Are you thinking of apologizing?”
“I can’t apologize… but instead, I will show my sincerity with my actions here.”
Her eyes were firm as if she were serious about what she said.
Ray looked at him with his eyes closed.
“So I can’t apologize, but look at this. no?”
“I don’t mean that at all!”
“Then how will you show sincerity?”
When I asked with full of doubts, the saintess immediately said,
“Because of my position, I can’t offer verbal apologies… but if it looks like action, it is possible.”
Ray let out a sigh at the incomprehensible sound.
It was also difficult for the saintess.
Did God care so much that he couldn’t say a single word properly?
He shook his head and asked again.
“What is an apology in action?”
At Ray’s question, Iriel raised his slightly bowed head.
“I will reflect until the elves understand everything here.”
Her words were unconventional.
If there had been Seongguk greetings around them, they would have waved their hands in haste and dissuaded them.
To think that she would reflect on her homelessness in the body of a saint. In a way, it is more difficult than an apology made in words.
However, what the hell is God? Even if she died soon, she did not apologise.
However, whether or not she was a saint had nothing to do with Ray.
One of the things she wanted as a condition for going to the Holy Land was an apology, and she said she would do it in her own way, but she had no intention of dissuading her.
It was just a matter of whether the elves would accept it.
Most elves don’t even know what’s going on outside the village.
As far as he knows, there are probably four people who know about things outside the village.
There are four of them, including Ray Ira Pia and the elder, who were present at the time.
For now, let’s say that it’s even about sleeping in front of the village somehow. However, he did not know that it would take a long time to be forgiven by those four.
If the saintess is away for a long time, the Holy Land will send troops to find her, and then the same thing as before will be repeated.
Ray picked up on that and told Iriel.
“If you leave your seat empty, the Holy Kingdom will come looking for you. So, isn’t the elf and Seongguk just fighting again? Did you think about that?”
She looked at Ray as if slightly surprised.
Until just now, he was obviously like an angry wild boar, but unlike his revealed appearance, he was clearly looking into the future.
Doesn’t he think quite deeply with his appearance, which looks like he is only 15 years old?
She said in deep admiration, as if it were natural.
“of course. It was a prayer for that. I have already told God. No matter how much I am a saint, in the face of God’s will, the Holy Kingdom will not be able to move to find me.”
“…How can I believe that?”
“Of course there is no way to make them believe.”
He proudly sticks out his chest and says.
The exciting appearance almost caught the young man’s attention.
Rey turned her head to one side in the self-confidence of the unknown cause.
she spoke slowly.
“But even if my words are false, there are many ‘elves’ here who can see right through my lies. Besides, there are people who can subdue me in an instant.”
Isn’t there any reason to take this level of risk and lie? it meant to
It certainly made sense.
Even if he lied, he could become a hostage as long as he could subdue the saintess.
Besides, she wasn’t a woman who seemed stupid enough to tell a lie that would be exposed in an instant.
Rather, I think it should be said that he is overly bright for his age.
Ray thought for a moment.
‘Because an apology isn’t something you just spit out.’
He thought so and thought about what could have happened.
Since the saintess conveyed her intentions to God, the author of that god would reveal her will to the Holy Land in one way or another.
In that case, the possibility of the Holy Kingdom coming in was extremely low.
In addition, even if the Holy Kingdom came with troops, the kingdom of Celia would not easily let it go.
If gathering troops to find a saint in their own kingdom is something that hurts their pride, if they bring troops from their kingdom to find a saint, they will be blocked from the border.
In addition, since the kingdom that worships the god has disregarded the will of the god, it could be used as an excuse to demand renewal of the kingdom.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing to worry about.
Ray nodded.
“Let’s try it. Instead, it has nothing to do with me what happens to you. If the elves ask you to return, that’s unavoidable.”
When his permission was granted, Iriel’s smile grew brighter.
As I pretended to see it and tried to lead my tired body, Iriel urgently called and stopped me.
“Sir Seongjae!”
Could it be because I stayed up all night? The body’s fatigue and dirt were resolved with clean magic, but because the mind was tired, natural irritation came.
“Why again?”
“…Where should I… wash…”
as he speaks, his voice gradually decreases.
In proportion to her voice, Ray’s eyebrows furrowed.
