The wise man returns

Following Nemrod's palace, Balin glares back at him as he walks into the cathedral.

The path you just entered was not through the front gate, but through the sponsorship.

The entrance through the sponsorship was not Merritt compared to the front gate.

Not only was the street much farther away, but the street itself was very complex and there was also a boundary of paladins.

Avoiding it means you came all this way for a reason.

Balin noticed the difference between the front door and the sponsorship.

At the front gate, paladins take a piece of paper and write down every entry.

That's the only difference from sponsorship! It doesn't take me long to think of anything else.

Therefore, Nemrod had no choice but to think that Nemrod had a good reason not to be on the entry list.

‘That's what I thought. ’

Balin smiled.

Whether it was about Leven or not, today's investigation felt like a relief.

Knowing the new knowledge shook my heart as I thought the Wizard's Pink Flame was coming soon.

‘No, you can't. No.'

When the heart sounds louder, the magic breaks. As soon as the focus collapses, Nemrod's successor will notice him.

This is the Holy See! We must not forget that many paladins and priests are holding out.

Balin took a deep breath, believing in blocking the mechanism. You press down on the gushing Mana with all your might.

I don't know where else, but I can't be seen here.

The Holy See is a reliable shield and the strongest club that can beat the Demon King.

If they find out who he is, the club will turn on him.

This was a fisherman's errand for the Demon King and the Northtra Empire.

Balin struggles to concentrate his thoughts on Mana theory. After trying hard, Manawa, who was in a commotion, sank quickly.

Once again, Balin was embarrassed to look around. Nemrod's chancellor was disappearing into thin air.

‘Oh, no. ’

Balin uses a method of livestock to barely keep up with him. Despite a short distance of more than a dozen meters, Nemrod's successor was completely unaware.

I sighed of relief. At the same time, Balin once again felt the usefulness of the method of livestock.

It has no movement and can be used immediately without preparing for casting. What's even more amazing is that it moves at an incredible rate!

At this rate, it was practically the highest level of law enforcement.

Unique abilities would have changed the way all unmanned men fought, given the choice.

"A performance. A great performance. Thank you. '

While Balin smiled lightly, Nemrod's steps stopped.

There was not a common guard at the door of an old-fashioned tree, but the ambiance around it was extremely delightful.

Knock, knock.

“It's me, Nemrod. ”

“Ah, come in. ”

An old man's answer came out of the door. At the next moment, the door opened wide, without anyone touching it.

Suck!

Balin takes a breath and looks at the view in the room.

There is a fireplace and the bookshelf is surrounded by walls.

In front of the center of the room was a desk for the clerk, behind which was a cup of tea and an old man with gray hair who drank it.

Nemrod's successor politely greeted the old man.

To meet this old man in secret? Balin feels a little faint.

“Sorry I'm late. It's been a long time since I've been able to understand the nobles' movements in regards to the War of the First Men. ”

“No. It's a lot of work. Thanks to you, I've been able to pray to him for a while. Please succeed this time. ”

“Surely he will answer as much as the Pope's prayers. Just like that.”

“Haha, I hope so. ”

A lightly smiling Baek Bal Older was as modest as the elderly in the countryside.

However, when Balin heard the identity, he only opened his eyes without my knowledge.

Pope, this old man is right in front of you!

The Pope is the total number and leader of the Leian Cult throughout the world.

Even if the emperor of the Cadim Federation comes, he must raise his voice!

The old man's face, which was completely unknown by its appearance, froze in shock.

‘This is what the people of the Leian Cult look like, but they have all the tigers inside. It's scary.’

Four high-ranking members of the Church Balin has met so far.

Robert, Leven, and even the two people you're looking at.

Each of them looked different, but all four had one thing in common.

The fact that it was not unusual on the outside, but that it hid tremendous skill in it!

Secretary Robert vanished without a trace of skill, but I can only surmise with Leven.

Who would have thought at fourteen years old, the Sword Master would be the best of them all.

And so was the Pope before his eyes. Balin bites her lip with a powerful force that feels like her whole body.

“Then, shall we go down? You and I will be busy tomorrow, so you'd better check it out early. ”

“I'll be ready.”

After finishing your speech, Nemrod approaches the wall to the left.

At that moment, Valine swallowed a gulp.

Regular mechanics didn't really matter, but if you wanted to use the Divine Power, you needed your own solution.

Luckily, Nemrod, who moves the candlestick on the wall, doesn't feel particularly divine.

Gurgle. Gurgle!

After moving the part of the candlestick a few times, the hallway was surprisingly opened, the size of which two adult men would fit in a corner of the wall.

It was similar to what I had seen in the Kingdom of Pioneer, but the only difference was that it was hidden with a machine instead of magic.

“That's enough.”

“Okay, let's go down. ”

The two disappeared down without delay. Balin sticks close behind you, just in case.

When they disappeared, they were left alone in the Pope's office, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't help but notice that the secret staircase was more interesting than the Papacy.

In the dark, a spiral staircase leads down.

As I looked at it, the corridor of stairs, the Pope and the Grand Duchess, which felt like the mouth of the beast, moved into it without hesitation.

After that, Balin had to move carefully in the dark.

The only place where the light shines is around the Pope and Nemrod, who spread the sacred power of Nemrod's palace.

Other places are complete darkness. One step at a time, I had to move carefully.

Jubbuck. Jubbuck.

The spiral staircase continued for a long time. The Pope's office was located quite high, so it was a long way underground.

Ordinary people seem to be exhausted, but the Pope and the Grand Duchess move freely.

The old man and Balin's speculations, which he thought were simple, were once again shattered.

‘I can't believe how strong your stamina is... I don't think I can trust you on the outside anymore. ’

Balin sticks out his tongue. What happened seemed to be more black than black, unlikely to be related to a lie.

After a few more minutes, you finally see the end. It was pretty deep underground, and it was cold as winter.

“Let's see. ”

“... bam. ”

Their destination was a large underground square and the ceiling was not as high as 3m, but it could be compared to a colosseum with a large stadium.

Balin slowly enters the underground square. The Pope and his successor, Nemrod, were already walking a long way in front of him.

"This!? ’

Balin, who was looking around the square, cried out in horror.

A huge enchantment was painted all over the vast underground square.

Since the power that is activated is the sacred power, we should call it the Divine Law.

Anyway, the scale of this was so huge that I'd never seen anything like it.

‘I've never seen anything like this before. The Demon Lord himself drew this magic... "

A divine being, not a man, the size of a magic circle he painted himself.

In addition, every line is engraved with sophisticated characters. I had no idea how big the complexity was.

But what was even more remarkable was the items that lay at each point of the magic circle.

There were all sorts of things, from necklaces to simple figures, but what I felt there was a strong divine power.

It means that hundreds of sacred objects were drawing their power here.

‘... ’

Balin swallows a gulp and moves on. I had to see with my own eyes what this clergy was producing.

The Pope and Nemrod's successor were already in the midst of the Sanctuary. Until now, my expression was stiff.

“... ”

“That's too bad. ”

“I see. Maybe we didn't have enough origins for Layan. ”

In Balin's eyes, moving on the other side of the conversation, something in the middle of the shrine is clearly visible.

Is that a big box? Is it a safe? Or is it something else...? ’

The moment Balin frowned a little closer, the Pope shoved his hands inside the metal box.

Shameless. Shameless.

I can see my eyes flashing when I hear it. The sound of water. What was in the chest was not sacred, silver or gold, but simple water.

The moment I saw it in the Pope's hands with both hands raised, the thought became more clear.

The Pope's hand, as well as the sleeve's raised forearm, was dripping down.

‘Water bath?! But that's...

Balin looks surprised and sees the Pope lift up.

What was in the water in the tank was now wrapped in the hands of two Pope and Nemrod's successors.

Cough, cough.

Larynx.

A little closer, Balin frowned without even knowing it.

The origin of the Fivirin was like a round jewel radiating light from within the Pope's hands.

What is that? What light?

You are surrounded by dark red flesh and can't see it properly, but the glow in your hand is definitely jeweled.

It was about the size of an apple, or a little bigger, but I couldn't see what it looked like in the barrel emitting bright white light.

I've never seen anything like it.

Balin gives you an embarrassing look.

I've seen so many things, but now that the Pope is here, I still don't know who he is.

A jewel with a lump of flesh around it that shines a constant light. It can't be in this world.

“Again. ”

In the words of the Pope with the jewels, Nemrod's successor immediately bowed his head to 90 degrees.

“I'm sorry. It's because I didn't take my heart. ”

“There's no need for that. It's because we lack the care we give to Layan. ”

Even the Pope's lips that comforted Nemrod showed the same sad expression. I don't know what they were doing, but I could clearly see that their plans had failed.

As I got closer, I could clearly see the water tank.

A tank full of red-blooded water floats on top of it, with a bone or a lump of flesh floating on it, making it look incredibly disgusting.

“I'm gonna have to take care of this, by the way. Is he here yet? ”

“You can't help it as long as it's a place of work. First of all...”

“Sure."

After finishing their words, they unleash divine power on the gem.

For a moment, Balin almost forgot that she was hiding and screamed.
