Episode 55
Iriel of the Holy Kingdom continued his words.
“Still, there will be a circle with the Holy Son, so there is no problem. However, note that the current mana will disappear…”
“…If the mana in my body disappears and the divine power is filled… then the mana will never come back?”
Iriel made a puzzled expression at Ray’s words.
Should I say this or should I not say it?
‘Once the mana disappeared… even the circle wouldn’t be able to function properly…’
She repeated the words in her heart. After the circle with mana is forcibly cleaned, divine power is injected.
If the circle is completely unharmed in the process, that would make no sense. A circle that has received considerable shock will have no problem when using divine power, but if you try to use mana again, it will probably be broken.
How should I explain it?
Looking at Iriel who groaned with a complicated expression, Ray said.
“Looks like you’re not coming back.”
‘If the mana doesn’t disappear, I think I can hold on to the holy power… Jeop. it’s a shame.’
Seeing that mana doesn’t return, it seems that divine power is also a property that can’t be caught like that.
He had no choice but to give up the divine power, having planned to use it as he pleased by forcing the divine power given by God.
He sadly looked up at the sky.
But, of course, since she didn’t know what Ray was thinking, she couldn’t help but think that he was in sorrow.
Iriel didn’t know what to do.
“Seo… Holy Son, though, it’s okay if you use your divine power.”
As she speaks, she creates a small yellow light that glows from her hand.
“I can’t use magic… but…!”
The more she spoke, the more she realized that magic was more omnipotent.
Divine power is specialized in healing and strengthening, but the reason she can attack is because she had no choice but to draw out her aura with divine power like Iriel.
On the other hand, magic was superior in various aspects such as attack, healing, reinforcement, defense, weakening of enemies, and production of magic tools.
Iriel’s admiration came out. Indeed, it can be said that it is a technique that imitates a god.
However, he shook his head and cleared his thoughts.
‘What am I supposed to do with admiration!’
Now was the time for comfort rather than admiration.
In the worst case, the saint could have turned his steps here.
Rei Hana’s expression was calm. Of course, there was no sadness, so there was no reason not to be calm.
Unlike Iriel, who trembled next to her, Ray yawned and looked cool.

“I think we will arrive at the Holy Land soon.”
Iriel tilted her head at Priest Geol’s words.
“Wasn’t there another day to go?”
Priest Geol shook his head.
“I came pretty quickly even though I was being chased by monsters.”
Ray nodded at him.
I ran straight through the few villages without stopping.
Of course, it is worth arriving at this time. If I had been left for a while now, I would not have been able to stay still.
“I will probably arrive at the border around afternoon.”
“Then, as soon as we arrive at the border, we head straight to Selonia.”
“Are you saying you’re going straight to the castle?”
“The baptism was delayed that much. There is no time to procrastinate any longer.”
Is there a time limit on baptisms? Ray listened quietly to the two of them.
“…All right. Then we will head straight to the capital.”
“please.”
Priest Geol lightly bowed and walked away, and Ray asked.
“What do you mean you don’t have time to postpone your christening?”
Doesn’t it seem like someone is measuring the time?
Iriel replied to his words.
“In the baptismal ceremony of saints, all the people of the Holy Land participate. It is similar to a festival. However, since the Holy Son does not yet know anything about the Holy Kingdom, you should acquire basic knowledge as quickly as possible while staying in the castle.”
Ray nodded at her words.
Certainly, he knew nothing about the Holy Kingdom. He was only chosen as a saint, but he did not know anything about the kingdom.
“People have waited a long time. If it is delayed further, there will be problems.”
Iriel shrugged as he spoke.
“It’s all meaningful, so it won’t turn into a big problem, but it looks good to go as quickly as possible, right?”
That was right. Besides, it was better for me to go to the Holy Land quickly.
* * *
Upon arrival at the border, border guards opened the door.
It’s because I received a message in advance.
Ray felt the joy of finally arriving at the Holy Land.
No more homelessness!
How boring has it been so far? No matter how beautiful the scenery is, as it continued, it felt like my tolerance for beauty was building up.
Moving on until evening, we were able to cross the border and reach Selonia.
Selonia Castle seen from a distance was spectacular.
“Wow… that’s amazing…”
Houses and shops become more colorful as they go upwards. The majestic castle located at the top as if overlooking everything was showing the prestige of the castle.
The houses below it also had red roofs and windows, so I could see their own rules.
The yellow light was directing a colorful night view, and there were many people on the street even in the evening when the sun had gone down.
what about the gender A tall castle in a high place.
Iriel’s nose rose to the point of surpassing Selonia Castle at the sight of the saint who elicited admiration.
“how is it? Awesome, right? This is the center of all trade and the capital of the Holy Kingdom, Selonia.”
Didn’t it be said that even a dog eats half of it in its own house? Surprised by the sight of the town rising one after another around the castle, Ray looked cute at Iriel’s proud appearance.
I feel like I want to encourage them to do more.
Iriel, who was excited about that, even talked about the history and origin of Selonia Castle, which he hadn’t even asked about.
But Ray didn’t care.
After all, Iriel’s useless chatter couldn’t even get through his earlobe, let alone his own eardrum.
Iriel, who had been talking nonstop even when passing through the village and heading to Selonia Castle, suddenly looked back in front of the large castle gate.
The dispatch battalion, puzzled by her appearance, looked at her.
Iriel said to Herio and Geol.
“I have suffered a lot so far.”
At that, priests Herio and Geol bowed their heads.
“There was nothing we did. Isn’t it all the work of the saintess?”
At that, Ray nodded.
The reason why he came to the Holy Land was largely thanks to Iriel sleeping in front of the elven village.
Iriel also cleared his throat to see if the memories of the past were creeping up.
“Hmm no. If I had come alone to find the Holy Son, I would have done nothing. It is thanks to all of you that we were able to complete this mission.”
At Iriel’s words, the contingent’s shoulders seemed to think that they had finally returned to the Holy Land and completed their mission.
Just looking at the atmosphere, it was like shedding tears of joy.
In response, Iriel looked around at everyone and said.
“With that in mind… I order the contingent, who performed their duty well, to take a two-day vacation in the name of Iriel Beliaise until the christening ceremony takes place.”
Starting with her words, everyone prostrated themselves in front of Ray and Iriel.
Cheok- Chuck-
Herio and Geol lowered their heads and shouted.
“This dispatched battalion obeys the Holy Lady’s command!”
“I support you!”
Even the soldiers guarding the castle gate were raised by the theft of those who followed.
The echo was so loud that it could be heard beyond the gates.
Iriel smiled.
“Let everyone go back.”
“yes!”
“Everyone is doing well. See you in two days.”
Ray also said hello.
As I waved my hand and said it, I answered loudly once more.
“yes!”
“yes!”
Iriel grumbled at the sight.
“I am the one who gave you the vacation, so why do you seem to be more grateful to the saint?”
At those words, the disgruntled dispatchers hurriedly gave up their positions.
“Then, we’ll just go back.”
“…see you at the christening.”
Seeing her hurriedly disappearing, Iriel smiled.
“We are leaving too.”
Ray, who was re-engraving the castle he saw up close, came to his senses at her words.
‘I’m going to have to stay here for several years.’
It wasn’t long after he left Celia Kingdom, but Ray moved to the castle, erasing a few faces that came to mind.
* * *
After sending a messenger to the pope to report on his return, Iriel continued walking down the aisle.
Are all sexes like this? Luxury is no joke.
The Kingdom of Silia, the Principality of Silos, and even the Holy Kingdom.
I don’t know why so many expensive jewels are needed to serve an alternative god.
After passing several rooms and moving to the back, I saw a building with a nice lake in front.
Iriel spoke in front of him.
“This is where the Holy Son will dwell.”
Ray tilted his head.
What I see in front of me is not a room, but a mansion of enormous size.
He looked at Iriel and asked.
“Which room is this?”
Instead, he looked at her strangely.
“You can sleep in any room, but…”
“Huh?”
“This mansion is the place where saints of all generations have lived. Of course, it belongs to the saint now.”
The wind was swallowed up by itself. Looking at the splendid exterior, I couldn’t tell whether it was worshiping God or money, I expected it to some extent, but isn’t this too big?
I just received a super-luxury mansion of enormous size and threw it away.
Iriel said, not caring about him.
“The mansion you see right next door is where I am staying. It doesn’t matter if it’s the same saint, but originally, the mansion of saints is strictly controlled to the extent that even the pope has to ask for permission before entering.”
It will. How could the pope dare to enter their mansions, which are revered as the vicars of God?
“Even the hired workers are recognized for their definite identity and rank, so you don’t have to worry about leaking your secrets. Oh, and for the next two days, education will be held at the saint’s mansion.”
“education?”
When Ray asked, she nodded.
“First of all, you will be educated on things related to baptism. After the baptism ceremony, there are education such as manners and rules, so please refer to it.”
He nodded.
Studying was his main major in the first place. Even in modern times, his demonic power of memorization made him an unprecedented genius of study.
There seemed to be nothing different about this world.
It wasn’t that there was no one thing at all.
He asked, just in case.
“Then who is educating me?”
Then, Iriel stretched out his chest with a face as if asking why he asked that now.
Then he put on a very intelligent expression and his characteristic smile.
“I fold right away.”
Ray’s expression immediately darkened.
