The Grand Prince Has Run Away

I visited Divinum Sanctuary again for Prosia Festival Week.

There are still wounds left in the war and traces of destruction remain everywhere, but many pilgrims still visit and the streets are very crowded.

But the old life was hard to find.

Pilgrims blamed the existing Central Church for bringing the situation to this point while looking at the destroyed sanctuary, and they also helped workers to repair the sanctuary.

When I arrived at the Basilica of Divinum, I could see the paladins lighting their eyes and guarding the entrance like a barrel.

They were familiar with my face through the last war, but they were consistent with rigorous attitudes, including formal entry and exit procedures.

“Grand Duke, who are you here to see? ”

“Evelyn.”

“Are you referring to Evelyn the Great? ”

I opened my eyes wide.

“Evelyn is the Grand Master? ”

“Yes, he's a very good priest. He is spreading peace and the value of life to all people, wandering around the Holy Land these days. ”

“Ah, the value of life? ”

“Yes.”

By the way, I don't know if Evelyn can tell you that.

Before becoming a priest, Evelyn had a reputation for being the world's greatest assassin.

To some extent, there was no one left alive for her target.

“That woman, well met. She's doing a good job. ”

“Yes?”

“No.”

The paladin signed the last pass and handed it over to me.

“Here you go. You may now enter. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

I let out a little sigh with my pass in my pocket.

Ser Burg has now ascended to the throne of the Central Church, and the war in and out of Divinum has not been strained for long.

Up until last year, I could come and go as if I were the Grand Duke, but it's not that easy anymore.

But it's not a bad thing.

If you're a Grand Duke and you have to go through a formal procedure, it's not fair.

* * *

I went to Evelyn's Grand Master's office, but I couldn't find the main character.

I asked the priestess who works as a secretary, but she said she was very busy at the conference recently.

But he said he'd be back before lunch, so I waited long enough.

And it was only a long time before lunch that Evelyn came into the office with a line of priests.

What was the word to ask the priest to appoint, but it would make sense if you saw the impression and the size.

Costumes were only reasonable, but the majority were of a correctional breed, which could be seen on any market street.

Evelyn smiles brightly and approaches me.

“Hey, who's this? Isn't that Grand Duke Jan? ”

“Are you coming? ”

“I've been busy lately. I have to go around the temple and attend talks, and I have to go to meetings within the church. ”

“Oh, I live a busy life. ”

I gave a strange look to the clergy following Evelyn.

I felt like I was at the heart of the power to know people like me.

“Guys, get out of here. I need to speak with Grand Duke Jan. ”

The priests bent their waists to 90 degrees as well as worshiping one another.

“Yes.”

“Oh, and postpone the afternoon. It's going to be a long conversation. ”

“Yes, I'll make sure it doesn't get in trouble. ”

“Okay, go. ”

As the priests left, Evelyn sat on the couch in front of me.

I made fun of him and said something.

“You said you were going to be great. Is it okay for a man who lived on a knife to hold such an academic position? ”

“I can't help it. Not many people know how to read in the Book of Salvation. Why did you do that? It's just a bunch of punks and mercenaries, so can you even sit at a high table? ”

“We'll order a paladin. ”

“But there are so many deaths on this side. ”

Immediately, the secretary who entered the reception room dropped the refreshment table and left.

I whistled as I held up the cup of tea.

“I've never been involved in a previous temple. ”

“Never been involved? Who gave me the kill squad? ”

“Well, it's a volume of books. What? ”

“So, just fill out a book with people's names? How many of them are there? ”

“I also wrote a title. I put the address of the house I live in. ”

“Yes, you did. ”

I coughed heavily.

“Thanks to you, we received the Central Church perfectly. ”

“So I don't have any complaints either. Taking over the Central Church has made our job a lot easier. You don't have to see it anymore. ”

“But you have to be careful. ”

“Why?”

“I was recently invited to visit the heavenly city of Kronos, but I couldn't see Italy. ”

“Is she up to something else? ”

I took a sip of the car and said,

“You can't be sure it's not. ”

“Okay. We'll figure it out. And you're here to tell me that? ”

“Conclusive.”

I put down my cup of tea, took out my drawing and brochure, and put it on the table.

Evelyn looks at the drawings and glances at me.

“What is this? ”

“A simple design and concept for the aircraft that we're going to develop. ”

“If you're an airplane, we made you something, right? Dependency.”

“Yes, but it's too expensive. That's why it's so difficult for the civilians. A small country has to put its fortunes on the line to make it big, but is there any way it can be easily disseminated? ”

Evelyn looks down at the drawing with an interesting glance.

“Is this possible? ”

“Yes. The essence needed is less than 1% of the existing support. In theory.”

Evelyn clenches her jaw.

“This is interesting stuff. ”

“Make him the right one. Usually we can, but we're running out of time. ”

“Are we running out of time? Do I have a life of indefiniteness that I don't even know about? ”

“Isn't this the end of the human race? ”

“Not really. Okay, how do I make it? ”

“By military use.”

Evelyn sets down her drawings and concepts calmly on the table, twisting her legs.

“Do you want to conquer the world? ”

“What am I doing? And what are you going to do now, conquer the world? ”

Right now, mankind was near extinction.

Of course, the three men secretly thought I was aiming for world conquest, but they were wild delusions.

Survival is my first priority.

I didn't have time to conquer the world properly.

“Then why do you keep doing this nonsense? You don't think you can save the world with these weapons, do you? ”

“Why? You can't? ”

Evelyn gets up and walks to the window overlooking the view before Divinum.

“You. Do you know why Chronos, the heavenly city, would leave this world in the age of destruction? ”

“I guess you're too embarrassed to watch. ”

“No, we're running. Once the age of destruction begins, even the heavenly city of Kronos cannot stop it. If they stay, they'll burn up like a paper ship under a hurricane. ”

“Why? The heavenly city of Kronos is strong, isn't it? ”

Evelyn raises her base.

“But not as chaos and emptiness. ”

“What do you mean? ”

Evelyn leans against the ledge, looking back at me.

“You know what? that the creators of this world were born in a world of chaos and emptiness. ”

“So?”

“That's the world of chaos and emptiness. So now enjoy life. Don't be so impulsive. If the Dimensional Gate opens, God won't be able to stop it. That's why you run away when you open the door to the Divine Realm. ”

I smiled bitterly.

“Hmph. Isn't the priest underestimating God too much? ”

“It's true.”

“But even the existence of chaos and emptiness can never enter this world by their own power, can they? Until we open it from here. And the god who created this world is weak? That's ridiculous. ”

Evelyn rolls her eyes.

“Oh, does that make sense? ”

“Yes.”

“Looks like there's another one. I only told the master what I heard. ”

“Sabondia?”

“Yes.”

I scratched my nose.

“Then why did she say something so illogical? ”

Instantly, Evelyn's eyes burst apart.

“You. Are you doubting my master? ”

“No.”

I waved my hand.

Even though I don't know her face, she is the one I trust most at the moment.

As far as I'm concerned, she's telling me the closest thing I know.

But I don't believe in 100%.

I trust no one but myself.

“Then why do you say that? ”

“I don't even know if there's such a thing as a truth. God is so great that He created this vast world that He is afraid of the chaos and void that they have come through the gates of the open world? If something doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. ”

“There's a good reason. Acknowledge.”

I woke up from my seat.

“Anyway, why don't you bring me those plans and ask? Honestly, I'm curious. ”

“Got it.”

“And how much money is that? ”

“Never mind. Let's face it. ”

Looks like they took care of it while eating Divinum Sanctuary.

Well, I took a lot too.

I just shredded the money that wasn't on the books, but it wasn't a joke.

Indeed, the Central Church was the world's greatest junkyard.

“You must have sold a lot. ”

“Yeah. He's been shooting pretty good lately. The name is known, so a hundred people a day just come in for a lecture. The nobles who heard the lecture stabbed me dearly, but my pockets didn't have a day to beg. That's why they're all priests. ”

I had enough sympathy for Evelyn's words. I've stabbed a lot of people in my past life.

“Well, high priests make a lot of money. But be careful, he has a political purpose. There is good money to eat and burn today. ”

“It's okay. We'll figure it out before we get on board. You know who I am, don't you? ”

I wondered how many people would threaten Evelyn and be safe.

Perhaps sooner or later, he will drink and die from excessive drinking, or he will just drown in a nearby well and shut his mouth forever.

“Take care of me as a plumber. ”

Evelyn provoked me.

“Don't even think about it. ”

“Tsk. Shame on you. Copy that. Good work. ”

I walked out of the Great Seung Jeong's office pouting.

Evelyn, you're really strong at S.H.I.E.L.D. As soon as you see the gap and try to get close, the barrier comes down.

It seemed to have been a tough gatekeeper in my past life.

‘I should just go play with Grandpa Alfredo. ’

* * *

“Is he not here? ”

Grandpa Alfredo was not there with much regret.

It was St. Prosia's Day, so it didn't matter if you were busy or not.

I didn't want to waste my time with an old man on a blessed day in the whole world.

Princess Ignes replies as if she were embarrassed.

“Yes.”

“Where did you go? ”

“Busy meeting pilgrims from all walks of life at Divinum during the festival, as well as preparing for the festival tomorrow morning. But what do you want to see me about? ”

“Something important has come up. When I came here a while ago, I couldn't say anything. ”

“Oh, really? Would you like to wait?”

I looked around at the idle Holy Shrine.

The owner is busy, so the atmosphere in the room is quiet.

“Of course we have to wait. ”

“Well, sit there on the couch. You'll be back by nightfall. ”

As Princess Ignes was about to leave, I chased after her.

“Do you have any business with the princess? ”

“Yes, it's training time. ”

“Rehearsal? But it's St. Prussia Day, isn't it? You shouldn't be training on a blessed and holy day like today. Then the sky will be disappointed. ”

“But it was the teacher's order. I'm sorry."

As Princess Ignes walked out the door, I followed her often.

“Well, I can't help it if my master says so. So, what's the drill? ”

“Meditation. ”

I expressed a little admiration.

“Wow. So Princess Ignes is quite the genius, huh? ”

“Yes?”

“When I met you before, you said you were going to practice the Bible all over again. ”

“Yes, I did. But?”

“By the way, how long have you been practicing meditation? ”

Princess Ignes stared at me with a sudden look.

“No, why? ”

“Meditation can only be done by someone with a solid foundation. Of course, you can get in before that, but it doesn't mean anything. That's why Grandpa Alfredo had the princess start all over again. ”

Immediately, Princess Ignes' face was full of anticipation.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes. Grandpa recognized it. ”

“But you didn't say anything. ”

“Then you're just reluctant to compliments. It's a waste of time for someone who can't handle Mana completely to get into meditation training. Anyway, congratulations. ”

I commend Princess Ignes with an honest heart.

Although he was originally a five-cycle clergyman, it seemed remarkable that it only took a few months to build the basics properly.

The blood was not deceptive.

Princess Ignes' father was Ilpane Saides, famous for his genius Mana prosecutor.
