Egret

Chapter 26. The First Eye

Only Judas burst into laughter, who became suspicious of being silent, bitten by the outrage of man, spirit, and nothing to share.

This time everyone looked at him with a dazzling look at the laughter that seemed really pleasant.

Baikal, questioned, scratched his back trembling.

“Uh, um... Isn't that right?”

“Yeah, no. ”

Immediately a decisive denial returned. Judas shook his hand, still without a laugh.

“What a surprise. I'm a disciple..... That's a funny idea. ”

"Man learns from himself in the past without knowing. Wouldn't that make sense?

Uni, who was sitting on his shoulder, twisted his green hair with his fingers and supported Baikal's hypothesis.

"Of course. Everyone has a past teacher, right?

"Oh King. Something philosophical!

"Tony, do you know what it means to be philosophical?

"Don't ignore me. I don't know what hard words humans use, but I know what hard words are!

…… What do you mean. You're the hardest thing to say.

Even though I washed my eyes and looked for it, sympathy could not be found among the spirits.

Judas spoke calmly, unshakeable to his noisy opinion.

“Some of your guesses were correct, Baikal. Igrett is dead. ”

“Oh, my God. ”

Although this was already part of what I was guessing, Baikal was shocked to hear the death of a great sage who was revered by Judas again. I felt like I had been shot in the face.

“He did not reap one disciple. Cortoban Yen wanted to be a disciple, but he was never taught. ”

“Yes? Wait, Your Majesty. ”

“So I cannot be his disciple either. ”

Cole truly admired and served his teacher, but it was the fruit of all his own efforts in power, knowledge, and status.

It was given by Igrett to Cortoban Yen, who was a child, only to inform him about the spirits hovering around him. You may have seen and learned what spirits are and how to treat them.

But other than that, he had never been a proper teacher.

‘If Cole hears, he may be in trouble. ’

Judas smiles bitterly. What the hell are you talking about? He even ran away from the world leaving the little boy alone, so he doesn't qualify as a teacher. He was so considerate.

“However.”

A clear gold eye with a clear light looks straight at the bicycle.

“I think I know more about ‘igrette’ than anyone. Is there anything you'd like to ask me about this? ”

“ ……. ”

“If you ask, I will tell you the truth without further ado. ”

His attitude remained calm, with a tremendous story in his mouth.

He was willing to reveal that he was Greg himself if he wanted the children to be here. It was already mentioned that there is a close link between ‘Judas’ and ‘Igret’.

I didn't really try to hide it. I just didn't feel the need to reveal the details.

But if children are curious, they should be able to let you know. I couldn't imagine how I would react after hearing that story. I might not believe it or look at it with disgusting young eyes.

It was a reaction based on people's values and mindset, separate from the beliefs that have been built up.

Judas didn't care what they reacted to. ‘Igrett’ was right about one part of himself.

This is undeniable, so I felt I couldn't help it if the relationship broke because I couldn't accept him. Only Libech, who did not understand what had been said, looked around the three men with puzzled eyes, and the rest were locked in memory for their own reasons.

After a long silence, Baikal lowers his hand from his head and opens his mouth with a sigh.

“Your Majesty, I mean. ”

In fact, I had a lot to ask. How and what contact did Judas, who was born the 1st Prince of the Empire, have with the Great Spiritmaster, who had been hidden as though he had washed away his past deeds?

Edan, who was standing silently as well as Baikal, had the same question about him. But neither of them pulled that question out. It was for the same reason Judas did not necessarily reveal his past first.

“I'm curious. It's not something you need to know. ”

“I wonder, don't you need to know? ”

“Phew." So, like, in the middle of the night? ”

Baikal has taken as an example the realistic conflicts he often actually encounters.

“Oh, it's not even time to get hungry, so you don't have to take care of anything. Instead, you may have eaten it wrong at night, but you may escape because you can't digest it. ”

“That's right. I slept over cookies at night, and then I swollen my face. ”

“You do, don't you? ”

Seeing Livech in the middle, Baikal smiles.

“And, well, if that's what you need to know, you must have said it already. ”

“Hmm. Ethan, do you think so? ”

Edan was just standing there quietly listening to the story. He didn't intend to ask Judas anything from the beginning.

“Than how it was in the past. ”

Edan, who received his gaze, slightly lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“It's much more important what you are now. ”

‘Cause that's the truth you told us. ’

It always has been. Even Military Baikal, Cristina who was low and cold, and all the marzens he approached to exploit are now his trusted colleagues.

Even the Demibeast girl, who was a slave, was now raised as a singer enthusiastic by so many people.

That was a little different from the notion of forgiving mistakes. Judas was unharmed by the attitude they showed themselves. So I slowly changed my values and attitude by showing myself by my side.

Judas was overwhelmed by strange feelings as he saw two close friends who refused even though they gave him an opportunity to know the truth.

‘…… It doesn't matter? ’

The attitude that seemed irrelevant was the attitude that he mainly showed. I had to be awkward because no one else had ever taken such an attitude towards me.

At some point they were resembling each other.

At that moment, the bell rang.

Deng ― deen ―

The great servant Ali, who hung on the highest point of Elisium, was crying.

Ali was loud enough to ring all over the Pope's office, and every time it rang, the little bells joined together like cogs and choreographed with the rattlesnake.

No matter how magnificent and godly the sound was, the group forgot the conversation and lifted their heads in awe. The baby angel was carrying a red sunset outside the painted window.

Ali rang a total of 12 times.

“Ali? Wasn't that the holy bell that rang in New Year's Eve? ”

As soon as Baikal's words were finished, the chapel door opened roughly.

“Thy, Thy, Majesty. ”

One of the priests, who jumped pale and tired, quickly delivered Vivo to Judas.

“The Pope..... ”

The next word reminded me of the same look on everyone's face.

“You have risen.”

Pope Noah H. Ezekiel returned to the arms of God.

It wasn't that old yet, and there were no unusual signs of health. Lubarzan was a country that believed in divinity, and therefore was compatible with the emperor's sovereignty. The Pope's death was an enormous event that soon followed the Emperor's death.

‘This is what Wigdrasil asked for. ’

Judas, who reminded me of the Saint who asked me not to leave here tonight, sighed briefly.

I don't know about the divine power, but I have heard that among those who have a strong divine power, they also receive the gift of prophecy. Perhaps Saint Wigdrasil foretold that the life of the Pope was over.

Of course, the statement was suspended. All the guests, including the students who came to receive the statement, had to leave the diocese.

The only people left in Elisium were the Saints, the priests, and Judas, who had been called by the Saints. Livech, who was with them, went back to school with Aslan with a grumpy face.

At the request of the Saint, Judas, who remained in the diocese, entered the chapel with his two hands.

“Oh, my God. ”

There were already many priests gathering there and raising their prayers.

Judas remained silent standing at the head of the procession. I couldn't reach Wigdrasil and talk to him. She kneeled reverently in front of the glass tube, where the Pope's body was unsealed.

"I really don't know the history of life.

Uni sighs with his arms crossed.

"He is no one else, but a holy guide who is loved by God. Such a Pope.

Her jewel-like green eyes stare through the glass tube.

…… I didn't expect to get hit by the Mark of Command.

The Pope's office expelled all outsiders as soon as the incident erupted, which was a sign that was not yet known.

Inside the glass tube, the body of the pope, who was holding his breath, was not buried with white flowers. There was a clear black mark on the forehead that could not be covered with sacred leaves.

Judas' gold eye, who saw it, sank deeply.

‘Black Star at Arm's Angle. ’

It was a symbol of the Command, as UNI said. Of course, the Pope did not sign a contract with the Holy Spirit.

The commander says it is done in such a way that the mountain becomes powder and breaks down at the same time as the breath is taken. From the soul to the body, no trace of the dust is tolerated, but it is taken from the Mojo Commandment.

The mark on the body after he died meant that he was killed without overcoming the invading command.

"The Pope is not the most divine man? How can you be beaten in the middle of nowhere?

“A man's heart is weak. ”

Judas closed his eyes and replied with a small voice. No matter how blessed a strong being is, man has a weak part with him.

I don't know how the commander approached the Pope and messed with his heart, but I couldn't insult him.

The Pope is also human after all.

‘How hard have you been alone in the meantime? ’

He comforted the Pope in his heart. On the day he received the statement, the Pope saw his statement, ‘Egret’, together.

Immediately the Pope pierced his identity and whispered in a mouthful without anyone knowing it.

To thee.

It was the greatest courtesy that the Pope could show his gratitude, keeping his head short so that others could not be seen.

Let the glory of light be with you.

On that day, the Pope blessed him with a strong divinity.

Judas, who remembered the Pope's blessing, slowly knelt there. Following him, Edan and Baikal kneeled down together and mourned for the Pope who was holding his breath.

“Now rest in peace. ”

Wigdrasil, who was raising his airway, reached out and touched a cold glass tube.

Unlike usual black hair, which was always tied up honestly, a lot of blurry hair flowed down her shoulderline. The itchy shoulders trembled like sleeping wings.

“Noah……. ”

Unlike humans, the Pope, who has been caring for Saint Wigdrasil for hundreds of years, was like a child.

She does not end up crying, staring down at the breathing pope.
