Episode 717 The Day of Prophecy (4)
Rei brought the two back into the temple and began to prepare thoroughly.
“It would be nice if there was an alarm magic.”
A nearby rolling stone was used as a medium to engrave a magic circle.
This will cause noise when people or animals pass near it.
Ray randomly threw stones through the grass.
It’s usually a beginner magic set up while camping, but one effect was good.
It will be much more effective than simply noticing it with a sense of humor.
He then started cutting down trees.
Two people.
No, if you combine the priests who will return from the castle today, you have to fight while protecting a total of three people.
No matter how much he was called Ray, it could be dangerous to protect someone while dealing with the black room.
“It’s a big deal if I’m taken hostage.”
As if he were making a work of art, he carved a tree with all his heart, but this time he carved a magic formula.
A magic tool imbued with the Shield magic of Circle 1.
In times of danger, this will come in handy.
He made three, each according to the number of people.
As a final task, a small amount of mana was stored in the magic tool when a little magic was poured.
This would have been astonishing if a wizard with even the slightest knowledge of magic had seen it.
That’s because there was no such thing as a spell to store mana.
If such magic tools can be made, there is no reason to buy and sell magic stones.
Ray, who had done something unusual with a calm face, struggled.
‘I want to make a trap or something.’
Anyway, they won’t be leaving the temple today.
Then it seemed okay to completely turn the temple into a fortress.
Having made up his mind, Ray immediately put his thoughts into action.
I made wooden boards and assembled them into a box-like shape.
He added magical energy to his hand, applied a magic formula, and put a handful of pebbles into the box.
There are countless ideas for traps.
Rayda, who spent more than a year in the dungeon.
I saw many pitfalls that drained my mind, and sometimes I managed to avoid them while passing through death.
“Thinking about it, it helped me a lot.”
As he started making traps while reviving old memories (?), there were dozens of magic tools lined up in front of him.
Ray hid them all over the temple.
outside the temple.
ceiling.
Magic tools were driven into the floor and walls one after another.
I think this is a bit of a comparison.
Even if the black room invades right away, I’ll be able to tie my ankles.
“All that remains is the center. Mmm.”
I wonder if it’s okay to fortify the inner center, which can be said to be the most important, as long as it’s about the outside and the border of the temple.
In one corner of his heart, he protested with one heart and a sense of morality and faith that were the size of a rat, driven to the brink of starvation.
He was confident about putting an iron plate on his face, but there was also a sense of resistance to completely altering the temple externally.
“I guess I have no choice but to ask permission.”
With the temple on the verge of being captured, wouldn’t she just say she’s a priestess?
After making plans for the future, Ray waited for her to come.
* * *
When the work was over, the sun was already rising in the middle of the sky.
The moment Ray was about to prepare lunch.
I felt a presence outside the temple.
“Mmm.”
“Looks like the priest has returned.”
Seventy-three and ninety days arose.
It looked like he was going to meet him, but Ray dissuaded them.
“Stay still here. It’s going to be a headache if you come out for nothing.”
The trap is already in full swing.
The center was still fine, but a wrong move in the outer hall could turn it into minced meat.
Leaving the kitchen, Ray moved while avoiding the traps.
The appearance was so grotesque that, from a distance, it was nothing more than a drunken person.
After exiting the hallway, Ray arrived at the door and opened it.
“Welcome.”
“Yes…”
“Did you leave the children well?”
“Thanks. When I said Klein’s name in front of the castle gate, I was suspicious at first, but the knights helped me.”
Ray nodded.
Knowing this would happen, Klein was notified in advance.
Perhaps he was talking to the knights under his command.
After all, one job is neat.
“Come in. I was just about to eat lunch.”
“thank you. But…”
The priestess said with a suspicious look.
“…Hasn’t something happened to the temple while I’m gone?”
‘This is a sacred place to worship God’, he added, but Ray, who was stabbed by his conscience inside, made excuses.
“I had no choice but to protect the believers.”
“believer? It couldn’t be helped… what the hell does that mean?”
“Ugh. That’s it.”
The moment I was about to say something.
The priestess stepped into the temple.
Goo-!
Ray blocked the pebble from flying straight into her face.
Puppy-!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Surprised, she sat down on the floor.
Then, this time, flames erupted from the ground.
Roaring-!
“Shield!”
Ray, who stopped the fire by a short distance, let out a sigh of relief.
“Careful. This is a fortress now.”
“This fort?”
“I don’t know how long it will take, but the attacker will come soon. I had no choice but to prepare.”
The priestess was dumbfounded when she saw Ray scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
Surprised, she patted her loose leg and stood up, shouting.
“This is a place to worship God! It’s a sacred place! Do you think you’ll be forgiven for your disrespect!?”
It would be difficult if he was not forgiven for just this amount of work, considering how much he had been rolled up until now.
Gaia would at least apologize instead.
Ray, who already had blasphemy in his head, didn’t care at all about the god’s wrath.
“I am sorry. But as a result, you only have to protect the temple, right? Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing if the temple was taken away from me doing nothing?”
“…”
At that, the priestess fell silent.
Certainly, being killed or being eaten is better than losing the temple.
She was the one who wanted to argue more, but decided to quit soon.
The knight in front of him came purely to help him.
Wasn’t it all thanks to him that I was able to entrust my children to the royal castle?
Even though the temple, which should be sacred every moment, achieved unexpected modernization, it was not a bad thing if it could protect the site.
‘Forgive me, Lord.’
The priestess, who had asked God for forgiveness in her heart, nodded slightly.
“all right. But please keep things that seem like insults to God to a minimum.”
Eventually, the owner of the temple gave permission for remodeling.
“I hate people who insult God the most in the world.”
He who spat phlegm, saying that even the emperor would curse at him when he wasn’t there, changed into an ardent follower in front of the priestess.
* * *
After safely carrying the priestess to the center of the temple, after lunch, Ray clung to the temple’s fortifications all day.
“Since you’re making it, you have to do it right.”
Once the hand moved, the magic tool increased at a terrifying speed.
Each spell is added, and the interior of the temple is reborn as a land that is difficult for life to live.
She had repeatedly asked, “Please minimize actions that may harm God,” but looking at the result, I wondered if I had misunderstood the word minimal as the maximum.
When the sun goes down and the sky slowly turns red.
Ray, who had been making and installing magic tools for a long time, finally stopped.
“It is finally complete!”
complete.
You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for that word.
She, who had prayed countless times in front of a statue of a god, approached with admiration.
“Is it finally over?”
Even if it was for several hours, I don’t know how much I regretted allowing myself to change the temple.
Ray’s words, “It’s over,” were a source of joy to her.
“yes. With this, you can easily stop one or two intruders.”
he said smiling.
The priestess also smiled at him.
To her, whether an intruder came or not was no longer an important factor.
How guilty he was when he saw him tearing off the ceiling with the touch of God and turning the ground upside down to plant magic tools.
My heart felt a little lighter when I thought that I would no longer have to feel that my faith was cracked and my heart was breaking.
“Shall we try it out?”
“Do by that way. It’s pointless if it doesn’t work.”
There’s no way a person with this level of magical knowledge would fail.
Just looking over his shoulder, it was easy to see that he was a master of magic.
‘Circle 3… no, it looks like a 4th circle. He’s amazing at such a young age.’
To say that he is a royal knight and is also good at magic.
She didn’t know that being a ‘magical swordsman’ came down as a legend because she had served God all her life, so she didn’t think it was a big deal.
Seventy-three and ninety-days, who watched it together, were different.
their eyes lit up
‘It must have been a guy with some talent.’
‘If I had another ten years… no, seven more years, I could have reached the 6th circle.’
I was out of luck.
When the Black Army invades.
That’s when his breath will stop.
The two of them, who knew even a little of the power of the Black Room, knew better than anyone else that they could not be stopped with such magic tools.
without knowing that fact.
The young man in front of me approached the magic tool.
“Then let’s get started. Just in case you don’t know, don’t come forward.”
After making a request to God, he finally poured mana into the magic tool.
Whoa-!
A thick stone that looks like a magic stone absorbs mana and sends a signal to all magic tools.
That moment.
A thin fog-like thing began to spread in the hallway.
“Hmm.”
“Isn’t it just fog?”
Seventy-three and ninety days seemed like there was nothing to see.
Ray threw the twig he had prepared into the hallway.
OK.
Pajijijijik-!
A huge electric current spread through the hallway.
as if struck by lightning.
The entire dark hallway was brightly lit in an instant.
Soon, the fog changed to a pale green shade.
“That is poison. If you inhale it once, you will die before you can walk three steps.”
At those words, tea dripped down the chin of the priestess who was drinking black tea and watching.
