Hakai no Miko

"Protection of religion or plea for help at best. If it's thick, I would have expected a preaching permit, but I can't believe they would say that."

The Ethereal Horse has the same shuddering grin that was shown even in the nagging comedy, and once again makes a small laugh.

"All thanks to the God of man that I was able to lead everyone to fight and victory over the Holmeer country?

At the next moment, the grin will disappear from the face of the Ethereal Horse and he will look as sharp as he did in the battle.

"Shemr! Faggul Garguz Shemr!

And the Ethereal Horse, who rose from his chair while he found Micheiros, called the name of him whom he trusted most. The Ethereal Horse lifts her voice toward her, who suddenly is called by name and looks slightly at her by surprise.

"It's an exhilarating fang! The most loving man I know! I swear absolute loyalty to you, my undivided loyalist! I'm the one who wants to admit it! Let me ask you something!

Ethereal horses ask Shemr, who reflexively stretches his spine and waits for his words.

"Do you swear allegiance because I am human?!"

What a stupid question.

Therefore, Shemr answers instantly.

"No! Turn it down, no!

On top of each other, the pale horse asks.

"Do you obey me when God tells you to?

"No, no! Turn it down, no!

Again, Shemr answered instantly.

The exalted daughter of Zoan laid her right hand upon her heart, highly-handed.

"My you! You're under my umbilical cord! I obey because it's you! I swear allegiance because I'm you! I, the Zoan Twelve, have one Fang Family, and Shemr, the daughter of Garguz, have not been told by anyone, but it is only with my will that I give this life and soul to Xaki Soma!

To Shemr's answer, the Ethereal Horse nodded one satisfactorily and then raised his voice to those who stared at the interaction with a clear face.

"O warriors of the plains! Mountain craftsmen! Forest archers! O fierce men of hot sand! Those who glimpse the sky! Follow me and ask you brave men who fought through a painful battle!

Those who watched the interaction between the Ethereal Horse and Shemr in disquiet stretched out their spines slightly to the call of the Ethereal Horse. Towards them like that, the Ethereal Horse throws an inquiry.

"Have I ever relied on a human god in battle?!"

It was just another stupid question.

Everyone answers at all costs.

"" No! Turn it down, no!

Plus the pale horse asks.

"Has the human God ever helped me?!"

"" No, no! Turn it down, no!

Again everyone chanted.

"Then it is by your power that I stand here now! And only with the sacrifice of those who are not here!

Everyone returns a calumny with fever to this pale horse's answer.

"" Ri! Ri! Ran-ri!! "

It was a hell of a mistake for Ethereal Horses to abandon themselves and treat them like ecclesiastics. On the contrary, we did not forget that what we have now is not by divine will or anything else, but by the power of everyone and even by the sacrifice of many of our comrades who lost their lives on the battlefield.

Doubts about the Ethereal Horse were no longer dispelled.

In the eyes of the trust of many, the Ethereal Horse proudly stretches his breasts.

"What do you say? Okay? I'm only here with the help of everyone here. The only way I can do this is if there's a sacrifice for everyone who couldn't be here!

And the anger is also obvious, says the Ethereal Horse.

"It's an unforgivable insult not only to me, but to those here, and to all those who could not be here, thanks to God of man who merely bystands it without doing anything!

Inspired by the words of the Ethereal Horse, those who were with him in the midst of the sight let go of their slaughter towards Micheiros.

Besides, Micheiros intuits death.

Perhaps in a few moments, I will be a bloody meat mass.

In an attempt to make such Mikeiros' intuition real, Zoan makes an elf, Dwarf makes a Dinosaurian, and Harpuran tries to fly.

"Guys, stop"

But the Ethereal Horse stopped it.

"I forbid you to harm him."

Not only those who tried to strike, but even Micheiros said, "Why?" To look him in the eye, the Ethereal Horse sat down trying to drop his ass in the chair.

"Apparently it was misunderstood, so let me be clear here, I don't like ecclesiastics. Doctrine also thinks it's ridiculous that the human race is dominant and the other races inferior. And..."

So the pale horse turns his eyes to Marcronis.

"I don't really remember my consciousness, but the ecclesiastical priest almost killed me, did he?

"You're the one on the left," Marcronis nods and shows. "A priest named Mirdas was about to throw Master Soma into an underground pit, starve him, and fall with Master Shemr there."

The Ethereal Horse shrugged his shoulder a little, as he said, "See?"

"As I have just heard, I have not been blinded to the sacraments either. Now, how can you be fond of the sacrament?"

So the Ethereal Horse becomes a face that realizes something more.

"Can I just thank Shemr for letting me hang out?"

Shemru proudly whispered his nose into the words of a pale horse as he had fallen back. After seeing her like that with a favorable eye, the Ethereal Horse turns back to Micheiros.

"Let's say it again. I hate ecclesiastics."

Those of non-human race gathered during the sight of the Ethereal Horse, who revealed their aversion to the Holy Church in front of the clergy of the time, appeased (almost).

But at the same time, questions arise.

"... So why did you order me to protect the Church and us?

It was Micheiros who put the question into words.

And the consciousness of those who were on the spot will be turned toward them, how the pale horse will return to it.

Feeling everyone's consciousness concentrate on him, the Ethereal Horse tells him slowly and clearly to chew up every sound.

'Cause that's my law.

By the words of the Ethereal Horse, he was taken aback during the sight.

Because no one could understand the words of the Ethereal Horse.

Besides, the Ethereal Horse sighs one more time, and then sings a good song of his own law.

"Whatever faith it is, admit it under the law unless it harms others. Whatever the statement, admit it under the law unless it disturbs the security"

Those who served the Ethereal Horse more than before the city of Bornis realized it.

It was the first thing the Ethereal Horse had listed in the law, along with its territorial sovereignty and the equal rights of all races.

i.e. freedom of worship and speech.

They knew of the existence itself because they had naturally read them once in their quest for a reward for Solon's dedication. But he didn't understand what it meant until then.

To everyone's reaction, the Ethereal Horse sighs small.

"No matter how much I hate ecclesiastics, I can never punish them unless the ecclesiastical religion breaks the laws I have ordained. On the contrary, if it is unjustified violence or persecution, then we must protect the sacraments from them"

The Ethereal Horse said the following words, once punctuated, so as to accumulate strength.

"Because that is the rule of the law."

Something very serious.

While everyone who was there thought so, it was still not so easy to understand.

Ethereal horses, who to some extent anticipated the reaction, laugh small and bitterly.

"I guess we all don't understand, even if I say this all of a sudden. So I have to set my own example."

The Ethereal Horse lifts up his voice toward those gathered during the gaze.

"If I try to get rid of certain beliefs, what's the first thing they're after?

The Ethereal Horse says with a beat in between so that everyone can understand their words.

"- That's right! That's sacramental!

The Ethereal Horse glanced at Micheiros, who was stunned.

"So I don't dare to do anything about the sacrament. I will neither punish you nor expel you. If you want to preach, I'll forgive you for that. Just say what you like about insulting me. [M] Let's admit it all under the law."

The Ethereal Horse affirms with firm will.

"And with it, I will lay the foundations for a nation where all races can live in equality!

In the words of the Ethereal Horse, during the sight, he was enveloped with tranquillity as if he had struck water.

This faith in the Continent of Cerdeas is dominated by the Seven-Pillar Divine Faith, which, while worshipping the Seven-Pillar Gods born above the Creator God, weighs even more on the God who created us by race. Even in that seven-pillar divine faith, the difference in divinity, which weighs heavily on faith, makes sense.

Not to mention the sacraments that denigrate other gods and assume that the human God is the supreme.

Until now, it has not been a major problem because we lived separately by race, but what the Ethereal Horse is trying to arouse more than this is a multi-racial state. It was really visible that the problem of faith would arise.

In contrast, the Ethereal Horse made it clear that he would tolerate any faith unless he broke the law.

And he even tolerated, or actually even showed protection, even the ecclesiastical religion that he publicly declares to hate.

There would be no clearer gesture guaranteeing freedom of worship.

But Micheiros responds with anger to this.

"A number of outrages against the human God revealed in the Creator, while being a human species. It doesn't seem sane!

Micheiros' anger was also natural. The Continent of Cerdeas is a world in which God actually exists. It's like a human being who is supposed to be a creature to that god, saying, "You're irrelevant." To Micheiros, a priest, it was a very unacceptable statement.

The Ethereal Horse returns this blatantly.

"I don't know a human god. If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't have talked to him. Well, I don't want to see you or talk to you."

Then the Ethereal Horse raises his forehead and reveals the engraving of his forehead.

"If you can, I want you to get rid of this too."

Originally a pale horse recalled from a different world than here. He alone was irrelevant even if the man of this world was created by the God of man. It was the false desire of the Ethereal Horse not to be involved in God if he was stuck with obstinacy (perseverance) from a goddess like the one who hunts himself down and makes him live to mess with each other.

The Ethereal Horse only spoke of such thoughts as they were, but that was a shocking statement that was very incomprehensible to Micheiros, a priest.

Not much of that shock Micheiros opens his eyes to the limit, leaving his mouth open as his jaw drops.

And those who stayed between the sights, not just Micheiros, perceived a rather small and similar shock, and stared at the Ethereal Horse with a stunned look.

In such a gaze, the Ethereal Horse asks Micheiros with a smile.

"Do you have anything else to complain about?

That's right, Micheiros, too, he's confused and has no words to say. The Ethereal Horse, who decides it is the one who has completed his petition, says to everyone.

"Come on, it's the return of the ecclesiastical priest, Lord Micheiros. Guys, I won't tolerate crude phases. Don't scratch him one. Let's hope you get home."

To Micheiros, still groaning, the Ethereal Horse grinned.

"Please come anytime you want to complain again. This place is always open to everyone."
