Episode 690 Drug dealer (4)
When King Gleiman said, ‘Let’s consider it’, the nobles nodded and moved on.
No matter how hard I try, there is no other way.
In the end, they will have their own opinion.
Hearing the voices of the anti-king faction coming from outside, they escaped from Daejeon undetected.
* * *
With his aides gone, King Gleiman, who was left alone in the vast war, pondered for a long time.
‘I can’t throw out Prince Soleil. However, we cannot drive out the Demonic Cult that has already established itself.’
I can’t do this either, so it’s quite frustrating.
He knew that the Black Room was in the background of the Demonic Cult, but he would be in trouble if he recklessly kicked out those who had already formed a close relationship with the nobles in the kingdom.
Even if it is not, the number of nobles who rebel is gradually increasing, and it cannot be postponed forever.
If we don’t make a decision now, things will get worse.
Sweeping down his well-groomed beard.
King Gleiman closed his eyes gently and then stood up as if he had made up his mind.

All the forests around here were harpooned by Ray’s party.
Even though it is an area near the royal capital, the Enos manor, which was rumored to have poor security, was cleaned up and Ray brushed his hands.
“Let’s go back after this.”
The subjugation of wild plants continued for three days.
Each time a wild vegetable was hit, the wagon was intentionally broken little by little, and because of that, the wagon’s appearance was no longer a horse.
Enough to fade the luxurious look of the beginning.
The wagon was left without a proper roof, only a skeleton.
Only the bizarre flag remains and flutters. If there was a ghost ship, I wonder if it would look like this.
“Are rumors really going around?”
At Kleiman’s words of concern, Ray shook his head and said.
“A horse without feet travels a thousand miles. It’s not like we’ve subdued wild plants once or twice, and if it’s bandits around here, we’ve dried the seeds, but if it doesn’t spread, that’s even weirder.”
“Ugh. If so, I’m glad…”
“Now we need to get to the capital as quickly as possible. before a player is taken away.”
Ray said and climbed straight into the carriage.
I can imagine.
The Demonic Church will probably use the last incident as an excuse to pressurize the royal family, and the anti-royal faction aristocrats who did not move while paying attention to it will protest with excitement.
If that happens, only the king will be kicked out.
In order to reverse the situation, it was necessary to drive out the Demonic Cult in the capital as soon as possible, so we had to hurry.
Kleiman, who had become quite accustomed to riding horses and stood shoulder to shoulder with quite a few coachmen, climbed into the coachman’s seat.
“Then we will depart.”
After taking a look at the carriages behind him, he grabbed the horse’s reins.
widely-!
They finally headed to the capital again.
* * *
In the royal capital, the aggravation of the disease was progressing in full swing.
As the members of the church who always came to improve their condition did not come because of the conflict with the royal family, those who were not in good condition became ill.
“Ugh….”
“Please save me…”
There are many people whose limbs have already turned black and cannot move according to their will.
In the back of the alley, it was filled with the sound of people complaining of pain, not the usual laughter.
The two guards in charge of policing the alley looked at it with serious faces.
“Isn’t this a bit harsh?”
“Arthur. Didn’t the upper level tell you not to touch it if possible and just watch it? You’ll only get hurt if you go out for nothing.”
He frowned at his colleague’s words.
“Even so, you can’t pretend you didn’t see it. What the hell is the Demonic Cult doing?”
The guard muttered in wonder when he saw none of the members of the church he usually saw.
The fellow guard sighed deeply.
“It seems the royal family has gone against their planting this time.”
“her! Does that mean that people’s lives are so easily thrown away? In a church that claims to serve God?”
“When was it not? I can’t ask the Gaia Church now, so I feel sorry for them.”
“The end of the world, the end of the world.”
Clicking his tongue, the guards remained silent.
The desire to help was like a chimney, but it was not a problem that the lower ranks like themselves could step forward to solve.
At that time, a fellow guard hinted.
“It’s not reliable information, but rumors are circulating that they are coming from the satellite bridge to the capital.”
“A satellite bridge?”
“Why isn’t there a church that worships the saint, the messenger of God?”
I nodded at his words.
“I know, but… what kind of power do they have?”
Gaiaism and Demonicism.
Unlike the two denominations, the satellite denominations did not use divine power.
It is called a church, but it is a church with only a facade.
What kind of help would such people come to the capital? He said he needed to deliver the cure as soon as possible.”
“If it’s a cure for Chi…”
“I’m guessing, maybe it’s not a cure for their illness?”
A fellow guard pointed to the source of the song with his chin.
If that’s true…
Gulp.
In an instant, the position of the satellite bridge within the Kingdom of Gleiman would grow.
“It’s hard to believe…but I hope the rumors are true this time around.”
“I am of the same mind.”
Two guards watched the sick people lying on the street gasping for breath.
I would like to bring you a wet towel, but you may get sick if you go too close.
All I could do was just watch from a distance.
They waited for the satellite bridge people to arrive as soon as possible.

Ray and his party moved the wagon without stopping and arrived at the royal capital in half a day.
As they passed the city gates and ran in a straight line, a beautiful city soon greeted them.
“It’s only been three days, but I can’t believe I can be this happy.”
“I agree.”
Philia and Clayman said with emotion.
Three days was not a very long time for them, who had been homeless until now.
However, the process within it could be said to be a problem.
Earl Besson and Filia Clayman had to move their wagons without a break to find wild animals, and they had to drive out bandits day and night.
No wonder I couldn’t sleep properly.
Earl Besson, who had only mastered Gajinba household appliances, eventually collapsed, but it is fortunate that he completed the journey safely.
Ray pressed the hood of his robe deeper and read the gaze around him.
A wagon with only the skeleton left.
Whenever a bizarre-looking flag draws attention, what is reflected in people’s eyes is not wonder or wariness, but gladness.
To be honest, I was half-hearted, but rumors spread as expected!
It’s worth it to deliberately tear up the wagon to make it stand out and banish the bandits for three days!
Like a general passing through the Arc de Triomphe, they crossed the streets of the royal capital with high aspirations.
“There are a lot of people.”
“It seems that there are still some people who are wary.”
Of course, it wasn’t like everyone was welcoming.
Among them, there were those who had not heard the rumors, and there were also believers whose faith in the Demonic Church was already deeply rooted.
But sooner or later they will taste a miracle and change their minds.
I will definitely make that happen.
Ray entered the alleyway, receiving stares.
As his illness worsened, he stopped the carriage in front of an alley that no one had passed.
Then people’s attention was focused.
“Demon Goddess… Are you the priest of the Demon Goddess…?”
They looked at the wagon full of expectations, but the look of the wagon, which was more shabby than expected, shows signs of disappointment among the people.
“Ah, father… is the priest here?”
From one side of the alley, a small child who seemed to be struggling to move approached.
It looks like his eyes are not seeing properly, and he searches for his father while groping in the air.
Hana’s expression was bright for some reason.
He probably found hope after hearing that he was a priest.
The father of the child bit his lip and nodded softly.
“…okay. The priest is here.”
“It’s all good. Get treatment from your father. I’ll be fine after that.”
“……”
It’s really sad to see him lowering his head with his fists clenched.
They must have lived in despair for three days.
I saw hope for the last time, how could I not lean on it?
Ray was wearing a shabby robe.
He quietly got off the carriage.
When mana was intentionally spread under his feet, sacredness was oozing around him as if divine power were spreading.
As the pleasant sunlight entered the alleyway and brightened the color of the robe that seemed dark, it felt as if the world was colored with him at the center.
Ray walked in front of the child.
Kneeling on one knee, he was at eye level with the child and stroked the head of the child who must have lived through the pain.
“I’ll make it easy for you right away.”
As she spoke, she took out the medicine from her bosom and carefully poured it over the child’s head.
Drizzling –
The water was soaking my hair.
It flowed down and touched my eyes first, and then down to my toes.
“iced coffee.”
A subtle sensation of warmth and coolness.
After enjoying the warmth of the sun for the first time in a while, the child rubbed his eyes as if it was dazzling.
slowly.
Do you move your eyelids slowly?
Landscapes I hadn’t seen in years began to appear.
high blue sky.
Soft-looking clouds float peacefully.
From the people around him looking at him to his father, who is overwhelmed with emotion and doesn’t know what to do.
Familiar yet unfamiliar things bloomed in the child’s eyes.
“Thank you! thank you!”
The father hugged the child and cried tears of joy.
In response, Ray handed over two more bottles of medicine.
“If you drink it, you will be completely cured. Keep your distance from the followers of the Demonic Church from now on.”
The cure literally only cures.
If it starts being consumed by demonic energy again, it will return to its current state.
Ray, who had warned me several times, looked at the onlookers this time.
Attention was focused enough.
All that was left was to keep this feeling alive.
“Light. Ice fog.”
He memorized the starting language without being noticed.
Whoa-!
A light appeared behind him like a halo.
When the light is reflected in the softly spreading fog, a mysterious and sacred atmosphere is created, just like the dawn.
Raising her hands toward the sky, Ray even posed nicely.
“God has commanded me to save you.”
When the halo and the halo of light pouring from the sky harmonized, the picture was completed to the point where there was nothing more.
The shabby yet heavy robe seemed like a messenger of God born in a slum.
Even the people watching from behind were speechless and opened their mouths.
There was silence over the son-in-law for a while, and soon people cheered one by one with thrilled faces.
