Haroon

Harun's group has been invited by the saint, but they don't understand the situation. In front of the barracks they set up, the paladins were preparing food, as well as the saints, the saints, the saints, and the three senior citizens.

Surprisingly, the sacred light had stayed in their barracks for a long time before their condition was completely restored to normal. I was curious but did not ask why.

“What's going on? ”

“I wanted to have a warm meal. ”

There was a gentle answer from the saint, but no one believed what he wanted. It was hard for the priests, especially the saints, to believe it.

“Haha! I made this soup myself. Everyone try it. It may not taste like it, but it's boiled to perfection, so try it in good faith. ”

A Saint and a paladin carry a large pot. There was a delicious aroma of soup that burst into bubbles.

The three Grand Duchess, along with the other paladins, place the dried fruits and warm bread and dishes of ripe jerky in front of the group. Then, I helped the saint unwrap the soup with a ladle and started carrying the soup bowl.

‘The sun is rising from the west. ’

Harun's party is dumbfounded by the unexpected treatment. Above all, the attitude of the saint that gave Harun's party such a severe objection was surprising. Saint Ye Heem was unraveling the soup with a joyful face.

Although it was not great, there was not enough hot soup and space in front of people, so some people had to eat together, but food was placed.

When she was ready to eat, she got up from her seat.

“I thank you twice for saving my life. This is a place to be thankful for the grace. It's not even the right food, but we would appreciate it if you could enjoy it for us. ”

Though unexpected invitations and meals were served, I couldn't help but be greeted because it came out like this. Harun, who glanced at Illum and Serpa, stood up.

“I didn't expect anything, but I'd appreciate it if you could prepare a hot meal like this. ”

I had already seen priests prepare their own food, so I could really accept their castle.

“Donnie, we can't just stand by and be treated like this, so we're going to get some wine. ”

At Harun's words, Donnes and Marie rush into the barracks and bring back some wine barrels the size of a child's headache from a magical backpack.

“Whoa! Wine! ”

Although priests shunned fat meals and liquor, no wine was the exception. Of course, they were enjoying a few glasses of wine, so the priests' faces turned pale.

Donnes and Marie followed the wine around in front of the man. Despite being before the meal and wine prepared by the noble priests, the atmosphere changed very beautifully.

“A toast. ”

In Beyond, it is customary for the leader of the left to raise a toast. Before that, it was considered a great disrespect to put wine or food in your mouth.

“No, commander. ”

“No. This place was prepared by the Temple of Light, so you must do it. ”

“Is that so?”

The saint rose from her seat with a glass of wine, not wanting to eat any more.

“I didn't think anything dangerous would happen until I got here to Mats Plain. I thought my faith in Leah would overcome any hardship with the strength of the paladins and priests. However, the undead who met here were able to withstand the sacred power to some degree, so they lost the precious lives of the servants and mercenaries who came with us. And if we didn't have your help, we'd all be dead and used as tools for bad things by evil people. Thanks again to Commander Harun and his squadron of thundering mercenaries. We don't usually cook food at all, so we won't be able to taste it properly, but we would appreciate it if you would enjoy it in good faith. I put the food in front of me, and it was too long. I firmly believe that Leah will illuminate your path. ”

After the words of the holy woman, people started drinking wine and eating food. People were able to enjoy their meals because they had skipped meals for a long time and had some reluctance to the priests.

The priests' meals were usually quiet. There was no conversation because I had to start with thanksgiving for allowing me to eat and remember that thanksgiving while having a meal. The same was true of the meals of wizards who were mainly immersed in their own research, and the meals of knights who focused on discipline and theft.

But the meal of mercenaries was different. Their meal was a time to enjoy surviving. For mercenaries who risked their lives to carry out their quests, it was a time to laugh and have fun because it was a time to remind them that food survived above all else.

“Haha! Seems like the Holy Soup has a lot of sacred power in it, since the Saint made it himself. ”

“I see. If you fight the undead after you finish this, won't they melt like candles?" ”

“I've never eaten food prepared by priests in my life. ”

“Huh-huh-huh! I've never even heard of it. We are eating food that most people in the world have never eaten. ”

The thundering mercenaries enjoyed eating and smiling without hesitation. The people of the Tower and Imperial Court have also been interfering in the conversation for the same amount of time.

“Your Holiness, can I have the wine barrel over there, please? ”

“Ah! I'll give it to you. ”

“Try this. Dried apricots are very good for your skin, Holy Mother. ”

The crew also spoke to the priests. For those mercenaries, the priests looked a little embarrassed and began to talk gradually. At first, it was a bit shaky, but when I thought about the battle and the undead that everyone had experienced together, I started to eat and talk naturally.

The news girl smiled at the atmosphere of the meal the whole time. When she was a newborn, she was the first to see and experience the dining atmosphere, but she felt no disrespect towards Leah at all.

‘I think it would make a good way to be a cannibal. ’

Rather, I could see the possibility of Leah's will being preached to the public. The priests she thought of were those who were having conversations without people's temperament as they are now. I thought that if they didn't melt into the lives of the public, they couldn't understand their compassion and couldn't really feel them.

Old teachers, who no one cares about now, sometimes high-ranking priests, live with the naked and dreary public and help them out. Of course, nowadays, the nobles are the main targets of religion, even though no one usually does.

The girl who looked around the people with a smile could see Harun just getting up from his meal. He was walking toward his barracks, trying to figure out what he was doing. The girl hurriedly got up from her seat and caught up with him.

“Where are you going? ”

“Oh, yes. I think I'm out of water, so I'm going to get my water bag. ”

Thinking about it, I couldn't prepare any water to drink after I finished eating. I used all the water I prepared in the middle of the canal to boil the soup.

“You do that yourself, don't you? ”

“Haha! There's no telling who to do it. Our mercenaries are always looking for what to do if nothing happens. ”

The woman nodded and admired. When there are large or small tissues, the brains reveal their power and greatness, but the blast mercenaries did not feel that way. Like a family?

“I apologize.”

“Yes?”

Harun was surprised by the sudden words of the saint.

“We have been very rude to those who have done great kindness unconditionally. ”

“No, I'm not.”

It was true that the priests' attitude was not pleasant, but I was a little embarrassed to receive an apology from them.

“I was very sorry, but I didn't have the courage to apologize. ”

Her eyes were filled with sincerity.

“I accept your apology for saying so. ”

“Thank you. In fact, we're not that great, but I think we've been wrong to think of ourselves as unconsciously noble. It's a habit of seeing and rolling your head when you have to say or do the right thing by getting caught up in vanity and showing disrespect to the mercenaries of life. ”

“The Temple of Light will allow these continents to live in Leah's warm and bright light in the future, as the Holy Mother has such open thoughts. ”

“Thank you so much for saying that. It was encouraging. ”

The girl put her hands together on her chest as if she genuinely thought so, and made a united expression. As Harun, who did not know the circumstances of the temple, he had nothing more to say.

Then came Saint Ye Him from behind.

“You were talking. I'm here to borrow a water bag. ”

“If that's the case, here it is. ”

Harun looks up at the bag of water that Donnes took out to prepare the food.

“Give it to me. ”

“No, I'll take it. ”

“No, please. This way, we may be able to atone a little for the rudeness we have done and the shameful behavior we have brought out of ignorance. ”

Harun blinks at the words of Saint Yeem several times. He could not believe he was the saint he had seen.

“Shame. Don't look at me like that, Captain Harun. I finally realized why Leah chose me as her servant. I sincerely apologize for your rude behavior. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

Harun could not even decide whether to accept his apology properly because he still could not believe the saint's attitude had changed considerably.

“Please accept my apology, Captain Harun. I mean it. The saint is a foreigner, unlike us. I don't know if you know this, but it's also an identity society, and the saints were born quite tall, so it's not that different from the nobles here. That's why I was so rude and rude. But it's different now. The saint realizes why Leah chose him. ”

“Ah!”

Harun is finally able to learn the secret of the Son Yeem.

‘It was Noble.’

Nobles are more privileged than the nobles of Beyond here. Then you would have acted so self-centered.

“But how can a foreigner be a saint.... ”

I don't know about the priest, but the saint was too surprised. Isn't reality a world without religion?

“Everything that Leah didn't worship. The saint Ye 'im was already enlightened and proved that his choice was certain. ”

There are times when a lucky stat is all in, and there are users who have played before other users. It's not something they want to find out, because they want to know what kind of condolences they have for Beyond, the god they believe in. I just accept it.

“Very well. I accept the Saint's apology. ”

“Thank you, Commander Harun. Ever since I was born, I was able to remove the veil that was covering my eyes and see a new world, but one thing bothered me the whole time. I think I can finally live in a new world. ”

It must be true that you were trying to get over the rudeness of what you did.

It was so nice to see the bright light coming out of the face of Saint Ye 'im.

“Can you stop by later? I want to tell you a story. ”

“Sure.”

Harun accepted the Secret Invitation of the Holy Lady. I thought people like this could hear any story.

After lunch, people decided to spend time in groups. The wizards enter the Magic Discussion as usual, and the crew begins their training shortly after they are led by Dylan.

The training included two knights and Illum who had never joined. They acknowledged the skill of the mercenaries.

Harun saw Remy and Henny exchanging knowledge with each other and crossed over to the Sanctuary. As he entered the barracks, the paladins who were resting moved naturally toward the battle.

“Welcome. ”

Inside the barracks, there was Saint Yeem and the three Old Religions with the Holy Lady, and so far something else was flowing. I felt no hostility or denial at all, so it was strange.

Harun takes a sip of the cold water and brings it to his attention. It was different, but it was uncomfortable to stay in one place with them.

“I heard you had something to say. ”

“Yes. I've thought about it in a lot of ways, and now I've come to a conclusion. We'd like to explain why your group is here. ”

It was a surprise, too. I had a hunch that they had a secret they couldn't divulge. It was strange that priests going to the New Theon Empire would simply enter the dangerous Mats Plain to avenge the mercenaries and servants.

“You don't have to tell me if that's a problem. ”

“No. Just keep it a secret for me. And do me a favor if you can. ”

Smurf anxiety struck me, but I was more curious about the secrets of those expected to be deeply related to the Darkness.

“Very well. Secrets are strict. But I'll listen and decide what to do. As I said before, we are carrying out the quest now. ”

“I know. Let me explain why we're here. ”

Harun glares at the saint with his eyes wide open.

“In fact, the Temple of Light has decided to relocate the temple to the new Theon Empire. ”

“The original?”

It is not easy to move a temple that has been in one place for almost hundreds of years. I don't know, but the Temple of Light, which has more than a thousand years history, was built more than 300 years ago by the emperor's extensive support and support, and became the oldest Temple of the Terran Empire, supported by emperors and nobles for generations.

“The people who now rule the Temple of Light are bishops. But most of those bishops are from nobles. And that foundation is also in the noble family. That's why the Temple of Light is moving to the new Theon Empire. ”

You are well aware of the situation. The Pyronic Empire has withdrawn its identity, so the Temple is no longer supported and supported economically and politically. In addition, he was the one who brought down their origins by creating innovative policies that leverage management, not identity laundering.

“The reason for migration is to support the legitimate Emperor Garban of the new Theon Empire, but in fact, I'm ashamed of it. ”

“I see.”

“In fact, we've already conveyed the physician to Emperor Garban and tied up all the pre-work, including the creation of the temple. I decided to send the sacred stone, one of the sacraments of the temple, first. But the sacred relics will stop being plundered by a mysterious group, 20 paladins, 30 combat priests and three bishops on this mission, and they will disappear without a trace along with the merchant guild. in the Plains of Marts. ”

“Hmm.”

It was surprising, but I felt a sense of anxiety.

What a sophistication! The Horse Tower and the Temple of Light have been taken from us. ’

“This case has made a mess of things. We were sent to investigate because we thought there was a high probability of this happening in the Pyrin Empire. ”

“This is the only one? ”

The first thing I thought was that it was too short a force to be called an investigator. Harun said the priests blushed their faces together.

At that time, the saint opened his mouth with a grim expression.

“It was all my fault. I had to be prepared, but I was too arrogant and reckless to be confident in the bishops. After not only believing in Leah, but also believing that she was chosen as a saint to Leah, she even fought with the bishops and blushed her face, so she came out with little support. There, the power got weaker when I asked a group of foreigners, who I know in my world, to escort me to the mainstay. ”

It certainly looks different. I could feel the holy energy of the saint that I had never felt before.

“Maybe not. ”

Harun thought for a moment, but the priests' eyes widened.

“What do you mean...? ”

“I don't know in detail what the sacred object means, but if you think about the power of those who started with the sacred, I think you have a different idea in the script. ”

Harun's words give me a strange look on the priests' faces. The saint also narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Yes? Tell me more. ”

“The sacred symbol of the authority of the temple is missing. So it makes sense that no matter how unpredictable the saint may have been, he would have set up an observatory with overwhelming power compared to the first one. Not doing so seems like you have a faction hostile to you in the Temple, and you're about to be handed over to the people responsible for the disappearance. Of course, I don't mean to disparage the Temple of Light. You may not know it as a party, but from the perspective of a third party, It's like you're waiting to fail, isn't it? ”

“Th……. ”

The saints and priests suddenly became dumbstruck as if they had been hit on the head by something.

After a while, the saint's eyes widen to see if there were any sensations. Pantheon Dales also opened his mouth with an excited face, flashing his eyes.

“Captain Harun is right. In this case, you must be trying to pass on to us the responsibility for the loss of a sacred object. I thought about it, even though the words and behavior of the saint were a bit rash, this was not the way to go about it. ”

“Hmm.”

The priests immediately fell into a heavy silence. The more I thought about it, Harun was right. This was definitely weird. Three research priests and 20 paladins, not combat priests, are on their way to be saints and saints who may be the most important people in the church.

“That's amazing, considering. Since we didn't know such common sense, we only blamed the saints.... ”

Shrine Dilles closes his eyes with a heavy look. His dry hands, gathered like repentance, tremble.

“This must be the plot of the general bishops and bishops to thoroughly purge our lineage of practices, such as snowthorns, before transferring the temple to the new Theon Empire. ”

“I'm sorry to hear that. Unlike the previous saints, the clergy and the majority of the bishops themselves were burdened by the reverence and love that represented the Temple of Light. Even the appearance of the saint who is still carrying out it, but has never been moderated three times before. ”

At the words of High Priest Muzhill and High Priest Raell, the girl closed her eyes.

‘Recently, I was told that the trend between the general priests and the novice paladins has increased my support for the bishops, and this is the result? ’

No matter how much I tried to deny it, everything came to be said by Harun. Although the disciplines that dominated the clergy, administration, and medical organizations had been the same before, it must have been burdensome to his own existence who had preached that he should pay more attention to the general public after the Pyrin Empire opened.

We have to reform the Church! ’

She was already fixated, but now I was able to be sure. If the Church did not change, even a family that cares about practice had to be independent from the Church and fulfill Leah's will. The stiff-minded saint opened her eyes. Her widow body exudes a powerful divine power.

“I have to go back now! ”

“Of course you did. We need to go back and ask the chancellor and his family for some serious responsibilities. ”

“Yes, we must speak only of doctrines we know as parrots and weed out all those who do not possess the right divine power." ”

“We need to turn the Church into a place where Charming Leah's will can unfold. ”

The High Septon was as excited as if the Holy Spirit's decision were about to happen right now. The saint looked brighter to see if he had escaped the burden of pressing down on his shoulders, but his lips were still spreading because he had sinned.

“Wait!”

At Harun's words, the priests looked at him curiously.

“What would you do if they thought you were back in one piece? I would have prepared something just in case. ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

The priests paled at Harun's words again.

“If you want to get back to where you belong safely, you need to carry a certain amount of product. For example, we need to know the whereabouts of the sacred objects and the identity of the looters. And then you have to have an excuse that the power is so weak that you can't track it anymore that you can safely go back to the temple, and you can ask for their sins that you didn't anticipate the consequences. ”

The priests changed their faces as Harun's words fell.

"Phew! These guys are so naive. So did the Noble saint. ’

It may be because I have no experience in the world, but it was only considered naive. It had nothing to do with itself, but I didn't think I could see them walking into limbs because they saved their lives twice.

“So what do we do? ”

“Phew!”

I felt pathetic enough to want to shoot how I knew that, but Harun was a little more patient.

“Let's go to Fort Matsurut and find out about this case. Maybe there can be a clue. Hundreds of people were on the road, so we might be able to find witnesses or someone who might have a clue about this. ”

The priests pondered Harun's words. He was right. At this point, it was clear that they had died in vain by those who were after them. The saint opened the door until it was time for her to feel bored after having been sober for a while with her eyes closed.

“Let me accompany you a little more. ”

“Yes?”

Surprisingly. I thought this much would lead us to Matsurut.

“I don't think it's safe for us to go there or go back to where we came from. We can only rely on Commander Harun now. Help me!”

Harun closes his eyes without even knowing it. The premonition that had been ominous had become reality. I'd rather not do anything.

“Only accompany us until we know the whereabouts of the sacred objects or the identity of the looters. I don't have anything now, but I'm going to leave it as a sign of that promise until I get paid properly. ”

‘Let's talk about the Darkness. ’

As soon as Harun was resolved, the girl took something out of her heart and gave it to Harun.

It was a very old wooden cup. A wooden cup the size of an adult fist was long enough to feel the flow of time, but strangely pure energy was flowing out.

“It is one of the three holy things of the Church. According to legend, a mysterious old woman who is now unknown by her name, a cup of water carved from the tree of L'Rahdras, which was struck by lightning hundreds of times and survived by its powerful life, produces holy water that purifies all evil energy. Now, I don't know if legends are based on facts, but it's clear that the Holy Water makes holy water. ”

From the look of it, I couldn't believe it was Holy Grail. However, when she poured the water next to her into the cup, she turned it into a blue holy water that could quickly confirm her divine power.

“There is another secret in the Holy Grail. That's why I thought I could find the sacrament, and I accepted that. The secret is that this Holy Grail tells us where the lost sacred stone is. Look. Holy water that has been changed by the Holy Grail is pouring out of the cup like the sacred stone is being pulled. ”

It was the words of the holy woman. The holy water that was filled with the holy water was supposed to be level, but the glass was surprisingly different in height as it was tilted. Above the holy water, it points deep into the Matsu Plain.

“Then can the sacred stone know where the Holy Grail is? ”

“No, it's not. ”

In the words of the holy woman, Harun could see that his hypothesis was wrong.

‘If so, there are other ways to track or know their whereabouts. ’

Harun, who was thinking of a bear, suddenly remembers the unknown birds flying over the battlefield.

Are you a family man? ’

Possibly. If there are more than five black wizards in the circle, the family magic can be unravelled. It was enough to check it out later. Any bird that could scout the air could effectively become a family magical object.

Harun ponders.

‘It's annoying, but it's not just bad. ’

It's about engaging in a quest between the Horse Tower and the Imperial Court. Harun is almost certain that the Darkness is behind all of this. In situations where we do not know the situation in front of the road or the power of the enemy, there was an advantage to the rise of power, although the prevalence of those who use divine power was a burden. Harun was brief, but considered several things.

“Very well. I'll be with you in a moment. ”

“Thank you!”

The saint expected it, but Harun didn't know if he would happily say yes or not, and grabbed his hand warmly. The saints and priests smiled brightly with relief.
