The town hall where the lamp flashes.
Ehill, Rawin, Rekil, Leanna, and the Skeleton Bishop were sitting on the table.
Rawin flirts.
“Though you were decrepit, you didn't think the Bishop would defeat a great undead? You got away pretty well. ”
“If I die, it's a loss. ”
“I envy the merchants. I can't believe I'm throwing my friends away for profit and loss. ”
“Are you my friend? ”
“Are you going to say no? ”
Ehill was amazed.
Principal Rawin followed a smile.
Reqil looks at them and whispers to his sister.
“I never thought I'd see the Archbishop of Helix and Archbishop Ehill in person. I still can't believe it. But is that Ehill really the target? You're a lot younger than I expected. ”
“Ehill is famous for being a successful land spectator at a young age. ”
Leanna picks up the candle in ignorance.
Then Ehill shot at her.
“There are also priests here. Isn't it polite not to smoke? ”
“What a coincidence. I'm a priest, too. ”
“I beg your pardon?”
She was embarrassed by Ehill's expression, and Leanna asked the lotus weed nicely.
Reykill presses down on his temples.
“Please forgive me. She's a crazy bitch. ”
Rawin chuckles.
“That's okay. Any family, right? My sister's crazy, and my brother's a jerk. ”
“Oh, I think the Archbishop of Helix has some kind of connection with me. ”
Reqil was greasy.
Ehill put his hands together.
“Why did you call me? ”
Rawin opens his mouth.
“I wonder. Why did the recently famous Skeleton Lord want to see this insignificant old man? ”
Kang Yoon-soo got up from his seat.
He said the point.
“I'm going to preach the cult to the monsters on the continent. ”
A moment of silence passed.
Leanna lets out a sudden burst of smoke.
Soon, Ehill said like a chew.
“There's another madman here. ”
Rawin smiles.
“Why did I call you to preach your religion? ”
Kang Yoon-soo switched sides with Ehill and Rawin.
“My plan really needs your help. ”
“You saved my life, and now you want me to help religion? ”
Ehill taps the table with his finger.
“I was not interested in your religion in the first place. A cult without even a suspicious name. I'm the one who refused even the offer of a large cult. I don't intend to invest my wealth in the cult that preaches to monsters, either. ”
“Hey, Ehill. For now, let's hear some suggestions. ”
Rawin was Dadok.
The old bishop asked Kang Yoon-soo.
“What specifically is the help you want from us? ”
“Ehill, please build a cathedral where I speak. And Lord Rawin will grant me command of the Knights of the Helix Church. I'll take care of the rest. ”
There was silence again.
You only hear Reqil's embarrassing cough.
Ehill got up straight away.
“I'll be going. ”
He stared at Kang Yoon-soo with his fierce eyes.
“Charge our merchant guild for saving your life. Of course, you can't pay large sums of money like you can build a cathedral. ”
Ehill quickly steps out of the door.
It was time to grab the door hook.
“Wait a minute.”
Ehill looks back.
Leanna wakes up rubbing her ashtray against the candles.
“I thought you didn't have a religion. Right?”
“Indeed.”
Ehill bluntly said.
Leanna smiles softly.
“Then believe in fanaticism. ”
Ehill frowned.
“Are you forcing the cult? I thought you were catching pedestrians on the street. ”
“It's not coercion. It's also not a cult. Can we call religion a cult that does not harm people, saves villages, and receives no contributions from the bishops? ”
Reqil stares at you with a curious glance.
"Sis, what's wrong with you? ’
Leanna said, ignoring her brother's gaze.
“Besides, don't you have something to atone for? ”
Ehill's eyebrows twitch.
Her words were easy to understand.
I cheated and ran away in front of the Undead raid.
He shoots at Leanna.
“…… you don't have to interfere. ”
Then Rawin grins.
“Ehill.”
The gaze of the Archbishop reached the Pope.
The old bishop put down the tea he drank.
“Take the test. Maybe there's a god out there waiting for you to follow. ”
I couldn't tell how Ehill looked.
However, my footsteps stopped.
Kang Yoon-soo grabbed his hand.
“I'll take you to the Chapel. ”
* * *
The chapel was small.
You remodeled the old warehouse, leaving no ceiling, and the sky as it is.
Ehill kneels.
“What should we do now? ”
“Speak your mind. ”
Kang Yoon-soo said.
There were only two in the Chapel.
My mind was complicated.
Ehill silences and opens his mouth.
“Can I say something? ”
“Yes.”
“My father was a zealot. ”
Ehill confidently said.
“I was a child. He said he needed a sacrifice for God. He killed her. He tried to hurt me. ”
Ehill raises his head.
He looks up at the sky and mutters.
“I barely survived, so I was afraid of death. I did the math, and I lived like a bad guy to survive. That's why I'm even more afraid of death. It's a trivial excuse, but I may have run away from Principal Rawin. ”
His voice was low and dark.
“But why didn't he know? ”
His voice trembles.
“Why didn't my father know more about God than anyone else? When I was a child, my God was my mother. ”
Time to convince them.
Kang Yoon-soo opened his mouth.
The tone changed smoothly.
“Everyone has a God. ”
He said slowly.
“Worship, family, friends, teachers. Everyone who loves and cares for us becomes God. ”
Ehill listened.
Kang Yoon-soo continued.
“You don't have to believe in religion to live in the world. But it would be great if we could have some comfort in life. ”
Kang Yoon-soo stared straight ahead.
“You're no exception. ”
Her dry eyes are soaked.
Tears poured down my cheeks.
He cried silently for a while.
I shed tears that had accumulated in my terrible life.
Ehill calmed down a long time later.
He asked.
“Cultism. Does the god of your religion really exist?" ”
“This is a fiction that I created. ”
“Why did you spread meaningless religions to people? ”
“I don't think it matters whether God exists or not. If we can take stability by faith, I think that's the role of religion. ”
“Brilliant logic. ”
“That's an excuse, to be honest. ”
Kang Yoon-soo simply admitted it.
Ehill woke up.
It was a cheerful voice.
“I don't believe in fanatics. God is still hard for me. ”
“I respect that.”
“But I will consider your offer. ”
Ehill gives you a hand.
Kang Yoon-soo shook hands.
“But I have a question. ”
“What is it?”
“If this is a made-up cult, what is your god? ”
Kang Yoon-soo was silent for a moment.
My god.
It was an easy question.
“Several.”
Shanette.
Henryk.
Iris.
And summoners.
Kang Yoon-soo looked up at the sky.
“Because I have too many of them, I live. ”
* * *
A flash flashes across the plain.
The white building flashes over there.
Reqil smiles bitterly.
“I will respect the workers from today on. ”
“That was quick work. ”
Leanna robs the tobacco ashes.
There was a cathedral standing in a desolate plain that really didn't fit.
Thanks to the sweat and wizards of the last few workers, the church was built in a month.
“It's still amazing. Why would the Archbishop invest in building such a church? Have you lost your mind at such a young age? ”
Kang Yoon-soo drank while looking at the distant church.
Ehill is not an emotional trader.
Despite his inspiring hypocrisy, Ehill is a full-blown profiteering giant.
‘Ehill and Rawin were given their respective requirements. ’
Ehill provided information about a mine worth mentioning to the Merchants Guild as a condition of building the cathedral as soon as possible in the plains.
Church Rawin promised to support the Helix Cult in the future, provided he is supported by 300 Helix paladins.
The paladins of Helix looked down on Kang Yoon-soo.
“We followed the order of the Pope, but we don't trust you. Know that.”
Pope Rawin was nice and gentle to Kang Yoon-soo.
However, the paladins had the greatest hostility towards the Undead.
In this case, there was a high chance of disobeying orders or rebellion.
“Let's go.”
Kang Yoon-soo woke up.
They arrived at the cathedral.
The church was so beautiful when it was completed.
The sunlight descending under numerous windows seemed noble.
Organs, pianos, and other fine instruments were noticed.
Reqil laughs in vain.
“This place is almost imperial compared to our old cathedral. ”
“But it's not a good location. ”
Leanna looks out the window.
As it gets dark, you hear a cry from a distance.
Glug glug...!
Kuwell…… Racemol...! Ohnol...!
It was the cry of monsters.
There were numerous monster dwellings in the barren plains.
The paladins of the Helix have stood guard against me.
"The Helix paladins are famous for their combat strength. ’
Among the many religious sects, Helix are especially skilled at fighting paladins.
Sometimes even mercenaries are frustrated by their brutal battles.
“What should we do? ”
The paladins were not respected by Kang Yoon-soo.
Leanna, who was friendly with the Skeleton Bishop, ignored Sister Regil the whole time.
Kang Yoon-soo said.
“I'm going to look around today. ”
“Useless. I hope I'm not wasting my strength. ”
The paladin, who appears to be the leader, laughs out loud.
Reqil tries to say something, but Leanna tries to stop him.
“No wonder they do that. I don't want to follow the undead and two converts. ”
“So you want me to just stand there? ”
“You can lose the fight. ”
“…… My sister is so honest. ”
They left the cathedral and searched the surrounding area.
The plain was desolate and there was no grass to give up.
The paladins complained.
“How long are you going to walk? It's almost dawn. ”
It was a complaint to shave off Kang Yoon-soo rather than because my body was tired.
Kang Yoon-soo was silent.
As I kept walking, I saw a rock in front of them.
There is a tunnel in the crevice of the rock wall.
The entrance was quite narrow, but the interior was quite wide.
“Glug! Karorok! ”
“Glug! Kharo-ok! ”
You hear a cry on the other side of the cave.
The paladins grabbed their swords naturally.
Then Kang Yoon-soo gave the order.
“Never kill a monster. ”
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at him.
Kang Yoon-soo said without hesitation.
“We will heal the wounded. ”
“You're crazy. ”
The paladin who appeared to be the leader walked to Kang Yoon-soo.
Kang Yoon-soo had to look up at how big he was.
“We are knights who follow the order of the Church. You want us to cure monsters like that? ”
“Huh."
“The paladin has the right to execute monsters that plague the public. ”
Leader paladin looked at Kang Yoon-soo with threatening eyes.
“And the undead are no different now. ”
