Fake Saint Of The Year

In a cave far away from the King's capital, a man looked at three pieces of paper with a slick touch and roared.

A man who works evil exists in any country and in any era.

The lawn next to it looks blue, and I want that, and when I started wanting this, I didn't know what to do.

I want food, I want money, I want rich land.

The greater the difference between rich and poor, the easier it is to dye your hands on evil.

Even though it has been greatly improved by the Saintess Elise, the difference between the rich and the poor is still fierce in this Bilberry kingdom, and the poor envy the rich.

That's not why... but the bandits who envied the rich and targeted the rich came out again as expected.

The bandits who call themselves the "Blue Bats" are one such band of thieves.

They are bandits formed before the appearance of Elise.

As someone starves to death every day, I don't care if all the upper classes eat delicious food and live.

I can't help but be stolen by those who don't do anything about the meagre food they've harvested through their sweat, which is called a tax.

It was the beginning of the unity of those who gathered from such dissatisfaction in an attempt to show it to the upper classes.

Take back the food that was taken as a tax and give it back to the poor...... It was only about half a month after the formation that the topic was quite splendid.

Someone said they saw the food they had stolen.

Why do we have to give back the food we took back to the people we didn't struggle with?

Someone else said it.

"This is something that we struggled to get." It's a natural part of what we get. "

You can get food without having to work. You can eat without starving.

I know the taste. I know the joy.

They stopped feeding the poor and monopolized themselves.

Not only that, but when the aristocrat guards were hardened, even the poor began to attack without hesitation.

The original mood was nowhere to be found, and it just fell down into a greedy outer road.

I guess it's because I've been living that way. Elise's appearance changed the world, but they didn't change.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans... In the rich land suitable for growing crops, the grains, vegetables and drinking water grown there... now it is becoming a world where everyone can enjoy such things.

But they remained the same. I can't go back to the peasants now.

Because I already know the taste of ease. I learned to eat without working.

That's why they stole from the man who was dressed up that day.

But there was some miscalculation in their stealing this day.

First of all, the attacker was a better trained soldier than me.

Although the Blue Bat has been living as a bandit for many years and is accustomed to rough times, it is still only a gathering of former farmers.

That's why it's so hard to stand up to trained soldiers, let alone knights. This is something that must absolutely be avoided.

However, the soldier who attacked this day was just dressed as a good-looking merchant.

This is something they shouldn't have known... but this soldier was one of the regular contacts sent to tell the Great Saint Elise what happened in the outside world.

The forest where Elise lives is treated as classified information.

Because if you find out where Elise lives, for better or for worse, people will gather there, threatening her peaceful life.

That's why the soldiers went to see Elise in disguise that they didn't know what to do with the castle.

This time, it was a backlash for both the soldiers and the bandits.

The second miscalculation is that the things that were taken so far were not much.

The leader of the bandits sees three pieces of paper with a sharp hand, the spoils he obtained after sacrificing several of his friends.

On that piece of paper, it's like a portrait that's too elaborate to be cut out of the landscape... Is this a portrait? Anyway, the view is clear.

Since it is impossible to paint the landscape so exquisitely, it must be a work of art of high value.

However, it is not something of value that is easy to understand, such as gold or jewelry, and I don't know where to sell it even if I sell it.

And the third thing -- they stepped through an oversized bomb before they knew it.

"... hmm? Is it an earthquake?"

The head of the bandit looking at the photo raised his face when he noticed that the ground was shaking.

It was quite a big earthquake. That's no ordinary way to sway.

Once it shakes heavily, it fits, and then it shakes heavily again.

It's a regular way of swinging, as if someone were stepping on a swaying timber.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Outside!" Outside! "

"Ah? What is it?"

I jumped into the back of the cave and told the chief to look outside.

Whatever it was, the chief of the bandits listened honestly to his subordinates and raised his hips.

The strange earthquake is still going on, but it's getting bigger and bigger.

There is no doubt that something unusual is happening. That's why he went out.

And he saw. A giant golem approaching us!

"... what about you?"

That was the voice that came out unexpectedly.

Even though the brain understands the reality in front of it, the mind refuses to understand it.

Is it 20 meters in size? No, do you have thirty?

The Rock Titan slowly... but the giant's one step wider is approaching us at an astonishing rate.

It wasn't an earthquake. I thought the earthquake was the sound of that giant walking.

"What is that... monster?"

"Let's get out of here, my dear!" It's not good here! "

"Oh, that's right..."

I don't know what that rock giant is.

But if I stay here, I'll definitely be crushed by the caves.

But despair strikes them as they try to escape.

From the right side, the wall was approaching.

It's not just a wall. It's a steel wall of armed soldiers.

A well-trained soldier is lining up, grasping the sword of murder and stepping on the earth.

Oh, a kingdom soldier!?

"No! Those flags... the Kingdom of Bilberi and the Kingdom of Rutin!?" There is also a phenolic republic! "

"Haha!?"

It wasn't just the soldiers that were approaching the cave.

It was a national coalition from multiple countries.

Different weapons, different insignias, different kings, different flags...... As if the soldiers of different affiliations were stranded together in a single, undisturbed movement, it would give great relief to allies...... and give despair to the enemies.

"Parental responsibilities..."

What are you doing this time?!

"Ah, even from over there..."

If a soldier's wall was approaching from the right, another wall was approaching from the left.

It was the priests in the sacred coat of arms who appeared.

- The Church of Our Lady's Executive.

The Church of Our Lady is not the only place to heal injuries by receiving the prayers of the people.

Sometimes it becomes a place of concealment for the people, and sometimes it becomes an acquittal for the avengers of the saints.

And they are all magic experts with tough training.

Since the advent of Elise, the rapidly expanding church has raided with all its might to exonerate the uncomfortable.

"Ah, ahhh, it's so warm..."

"Oh, my God... oh, are we going to die...?"

"N-no, no, why... did we do such a bad thing!?"

I made a mistake whether I did something bad or not.

If you're a good man or a bad man, you're definitely a bad man. That's for sure.

But even so, were you such a villain that you could be tempted to perish?

It's not like we can do it because others are doing it... but there are bandits as good as us, and there are worse ones.

So why should I be directed at a witch like this?! They have no idea why.

A giant approached and saw his feet.

It was a few Kingsguard who had taken the lead over the giants.

Now, headed by retired leader Layla Scott, there were hundreds of trained warriors to fight the witches.

Alongside Leila is Bernell, who has now gained more strength than Leila through training.

He carried a great sword on his shoulder and walked across the earth as if he were stepping one step at a time.

Why has it become so important so far?

The reason for this was that the "Elise's Photo" was among the photos that were lost due to the bandit attack.

First of all, photography itself is a valuable item in this world.

Orpart miraculously excavated from a lost power a thousand years ago... that's the camera.

Moreover, Elise ran out of film before handing it over to Eyes, so she might never get the pictures again.

Not to mention that if it were Elise, it would be worth it all at once.

It may be possible to keep the figure of the Archdiocese who saved the world from a thousand years of despair, keep it for a long time, and pass it on to future generations. Such precious things are in the hands of bandits who will never understand the value of their goods. There is no way to remain silent.

The supple thinks as the giant golem moves forward.

We need to get them back and protect them right away! It must be protected from all kinds of deterioration and color fading, stored with the help of Alfrea's sealing magic if necessary, and guarded by me before the others!

The knights, including Leila, thought.

I can't forgive the fact that the person who reflected the image of the beloved Saintess is in the hands of the vile bandits.

I was scared just to think they were touching me and looking at me.

We must get it back!

The archbishop-in-chief, who commands the enforcement unit of the Church of Our Lady, thinks:

The figure of the Archdiocese Elise should be passed on by the Church to future generations. And that picture makes it possible.

Whatever it is, it is something that the Church should acquire. Never give it to someone in power in the country.

Get ahead of everyone else!

The soldiers think.

I don't care about the intentions of the people above me. However, I don't like the light treatment of the Great Saintess who gave me the world today... even if it's not the person himself, it's just the paper that reflects that figure.

Each thought, each standing position... but at one point, their minds were one.

- Bandits should be punished.

The [Blue Bat] couldn't escape, so [Blue Bat] quickly...... and took the best action.

"It's unconditional surrender...!" Throw out all your weapons and rub your head against the ground to show that you can't resist!

Resistance? No kidding. If I show such a gesture, I am convinced that my neck and torso will be separated from each other in the next moment.

Layla said in a cold voice as she slammed her sword against the rattling bandits.

"There must be something you stole the other day... let it out"

Hahi!

I can't say NO. Don't say it. If you show the slightest refusal, you'll be dead in a second.

The head of the bandit, as he was told, presented the three pictures he had in his hand.

Leila snatched the photo away like she was hiding... and after checking, her gaze became even colder.

"I see. Death is what you want."

"Hee, hee!?"

"There must be another one like this." Choose whether you want to cum or die right now. "

”No, no... I... I... I... I...”

Let's talk about it first.

The bandit leader didn't hide anything.

The photographs they stole from the soldiers the other day are genuine, all three of them.

A picture of the ocean. A picture of a dune. And the pictures reflecting the birds... only these three.

There was no reflection of Elise in it.

Even a bandit who doesn't know anything can't think it's 'not a big deal' if he gets a picture of Elise, and he knows why Layla and the others are so angry.

But they don't know. Because... I didn't steal Elise's picture in the first place...!

"I see. Even though it's a bandit, it looks like it would be a pity to let go of Lord Elise's figure." I know how it feels, but it's stupid. "

"Ha... eh...? No, no, we... we... we..."

After hearing the words of the supplicant, the bandit chief wondered why this was happening.

I had another photo...! Moreover, more importantly, it reflects the figure of the Great Saintess! There's only one thing in the world!

But if you say that, you can't give out anything that you don't have.

While doing so, soldiers and priests stepped into the cave and pulled out what they had stolen so far.

But after all, there was no picture of Elise in it.

"None..."

"I'm hiding it... I don't think so." what the hell is this.... "

After an hour of research and inspection of their belongings, it turns out that the bandits really don't know anything and don't have a picture of Elise.

It's hard to think that you're so frightened that you're telling lies.

So where did the last... and most valuable piece go?

Layla and the bandits wondered, but in the meantime, the bandits were all in jail, and they could think of one that had disappeared.

◇

Deep in the woods where Profeta once lived and now Elise lives.

There was a festival in the village of the guardian.

The guards were dancing in front of something decorated on the altar, drumming drums, and cheering.

"Shankanimasajoise!"

"Shankanimasajoise!" "Shankanimasajoise!" "Shankanimasajoise!"

The Central Guardian shouts something and the other Guardians shout as well.

What is happening now is a ceremony of prayer for abundant crops and spare no expense for being fed today.

And the beloved girl who gave it to me...... a picture of the current prophet Elise was decorated on the altar.

When they were asked by Elise to develop a photograph, they were delighted to notice Elise's photograph.

The Guardian is a family that worships the Prophet. And I love Elise for making the world a peaceful place.

Therefore Elise, who was a prophet, was an object of worship unto them.

For them, Elise's photographs are a treasure to keep.

So they pulled out Elise's picture without a doubt. Hey, Sal!

... after that, I asked Elise to show me the pictures, checked if they were okay, and got permission, so I should be fine.

Elise was surprised to say, "Oh, you guys had it," but she said, "I don't mind if it's like that."

Therefore, the guardians do not hesitate to decorate the altar with pictures and worship them.

Even today, the guardian's pleasant voice resounded from the forest where the guardian lived.
