Chapter 191
Episode 191
“…!”
Clink!
When the crystal ball he had placed on the desk exploded, the old man hurriedly removed his hands from his hands. It was an old man wearing an antique-patterned white robe.
Although the crystal ball shattered as if it had been hit by a shotgun, sending shrapnel flying in all directions, there were far more important things to the old man than the fact that the crystal ball had been fired.
“Huh… How could this happen…
”
So, the old man could not easily straighten his eyebrows even while he picked up the small sample brush that was on the desk, picked up the broken crumbs, and flicked his wrinkled fingers over it once.
“I can’t believe it… I thought there was someone who got it before the church…”
If what he saw through the crystal ball was true, it was because this was not a light matter to be overlooked.
‘The legacy of the light you’ve been looking for so much has disappeared…? No, judging from the fact that the star did not disappear, it must have fallen into someone’s hands rather than disappeared. It’s not something that can be easily destroyed, and it’s a sacred thing whose existence has not even been observed for centuries by the nebula. Not to mention, since it was an unwritten matter even within the church, no one should have known of its existence.’
Woo woo woo!
As the old man waved his hand once, the fragments of the crystal ball he had collected with the brush floated in the air and headed toward one place. While the golden aura wrapped around the fragments of the crystal ball, the old man’s thoughts sank one after another.
The divine object of light that the church has been looking for for a long time.
And the Holy Spear, which even the leaders of the church had no knowledge of its whereabouts.
It was surprising to say that the sacred relic of the church, which disappeared after the hero who saved Middle-earth hundreds of years ago, has only been revealed today.
It could be said that it was not a very welcome thing for it to fall into someone else’s hands rather than returning to the arms of the church.
That was the reason the old man put his shaggy eyebrows together and struggled over and over again.
Chasing the location of the holy relics was something only an old man could do, but it was also because the old man was able to mobilize the monks within the church to tour the continent.
“I don’t think this is a matter for me to decide…”
Exactly!
Before long, the old man’s fingers snapped once more.
The old man left his office and walked down the ivory-colored corridor. The disappearance of the old man’s new form from the office with a golden aura was natural for a product created by a high level of divine power.
An old man with his hands together in the arms of a robe with antique patterns studded with gold, but with a pure white background.
As the old man’s footsteps crossed the ivory-colored corridor and reached a door that seemed to be ten meters wide, the old man’s new model was once again enveloped in an unknown magic circle and began to glow brightly in gold.
“Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Δόξα εν υψίστοις Θεώ)….”
Click!
It was at the same time that the scriptures that flowed from his mouth rang out.
As the old man chanted a scripture in front of the temple gate, dozens of golden magic circles spread over the temple gate. It was a bonus that numerous locks started to come loose according to the sign the old man made.
Compared to the castle gate facing him, the old man’s physique was small and insignificant, but as if the invisible waterway device of a huge dam raised his massive body with a single switch.
Thus, the golden gate, which would not budge even if hundreds of men and various siege weapons came, opened the aura of the translucent seal and split left and right.
Its majesty was like a mere human figure standing in front of a superb view of nature, or it could be said that it was like witnessing a supreme being like Titan right in front of you.
[Notice: The 7th door, the path of light, is open.]
Awesome!
Before long, the golden door revealed the shape of a circular white hall in front of the old man’s eyes.
It was not awkward to say that the round hall, which looked like a galaxy spread out along with a huge lake, was vast. The bottom of the lake without a single wave was projecting the starlight of the night sky as it was.
Hundreds of Ionic order pillars, reminiscent of those of ancient Greek temples, surround the lake, and the ivory-colored seat in the middle of them boasts splendor as both halls standing at the center of the universe.
And the old man could see a woman sitting under the back of the throne, which seemed to be a good two meters tall, resting her chin on her chin as if dozing off.
The owner of this white hall where only the chosen can enter.
The Pope who rules Selenis, the Church of Light, and Ornas, the Holy Law.
A holy woman who was chosen by Arya, the god of light, as the true representative of God.
Ariel de Estella excelleorier was her.
“God Rosen is having an audience with Pope Ariel.”
Nod!
Rosen, an old man in a white robe, put his hands under his sleeves and lowered his head, and the woman in power in the middle of the white hall turned her head.
It was a woman who seemed to be sleeping soundly in the middle of a huge lake that stretched out around the seat of power.
Gorgeous gold decorations embroidered on the white sacrificial robes and the woman’s delicate and brilliant platinum hair shining above them.
It could be said that the feeling that even a small halo emanated from her was not just an illusion.
“Ah… welcome….”
Golden eyes.
The fact that her half-opened eyes, as if suddenly waking up, radiate a profound light like those of gold, and have a far-reaching depth of reason.
It was because it was the only proof of God that only Arya’s representative and saintess had.
“Bishop Rosen… for some reason…”
Seruk!
As Ariel brushed up her platinum blond hair with a languid voice, Rosen raised her head and began to walk towards Ariel’s seat of power.
He had forgotten even that the lake of unfathomable depth beneath it projected the night sky.
However, walking calmly into a lake that many people do not think of crossing easily, and leaving traces with each step, causing ripples on the surface of the lake.
It wasn’t such a big deal to the first archbishop of Jupitel, who was in charge of the Diocese of Ornas, the Divine Law, and assisted Pope Ariel.
“…something went wrong.”
“problem?”
“Yes, His Holiness the Pope.”
So Ariel looked at Rosen, who had crossed the deep lake, bent her waist with her hands together, and lifted her gaze from the endless lake to look at him.
Even though I didn’t know what that expression was because I had my back down.
Judging from his voice, which is quite calm, and his ending with muffled speech.
Even if he didn’t know it, he didn’t know that the seriousness of the matter he was trying to talk about was quite a matter of fighting for fire.
“We have lost contact with the monks who left after the sacred object that Arya left behind on this land. Until not too long ago, that contact was maintained somehow…”
Rosen bowed her head towards Ariel again.
It seemed that it was difficult to say something easily as I pulled my sleeves together as if I was sorry.
Rosen’s face was covered with gray eyebrows and beard, as if to prove that his age had already passed the age of 100.
However, Ariel did not add anything to Rosen’s words that followed.
“As a result of the investigation, it seems that all the dispatched friars lost their lives at the hands of someone.”
“…”
Then Ariel’s eyes took on a miserable light.
“The black star… the fact that the whereabouts of the malevolent star became unclear after the dispatch of the monks in pursuit of the dark star has already been predicted. It must be that you are watching.”
“Moreover, the fact that all of the monks were martyred is probably a warning to the church, and it is highly likely that it is the work of those who do not care about the church’s gaze.”
“Of course, there are some adventurers from the other world who were baptized by this church like the monk Seo Jae-han, but the fact that they feel the amount of pain and emotions they feel is by no means small just because they have an immortal body is an unchanging fact…
” Taking into account the time it takes to return to this land from the other world, we are in a situation where we cannot demand sacrifice from adventurer-born monks. At the same time, it is quite embarrassing that it also involves the sacrifices of non-adventurers.”
gulp!
While Ariel listened in silence, Rosen lifted her bowed back and swallowed once. It was because the things I had been enumerating so far were just a process.
Of course, in the process he was talking about so far, the damage suffered by the church and the sacrifices of the friars could also be said to be painful.
If you think about what the hell their sacrifices have been paid for.
The fact that the purpose and results were lost could be said to mean that the entire process had gone in vain.
“Somehow… it seems that the holy relic we’ve been chasing has fallen into someone’s hands.”
“…”
So, Ariel closed her eyes, which had a sad light at Rosen’s continued words.
In the end, the fact that the things he was concerned about were flowing out of his mouth, so he couldn’t continue talking for a while.
Of course, Rosen’s failure to retrieve the relic did not simply end with the monks’ vain sacrifices.
It was also because it was also a story that the holy relics might have flowed into the hands of a person who was vigilantly guarded by a group or religious order that martyred monks eight times.
“The trajectory of chasing the holy relic was scattered by something. It goes without saying that it was a reaction so strong that the crystal ball exploded at once… Considering that it was blocked at the source so that even backtracking could not be carried out, it is judged that he was not a low-level person by any means. If not, it is believed that there is a high probability that the holy relic will be located in a place with such a barrier…” ”
I see…”
As Rosen muttered, Ariel opened her mouth. It was a bonus that her closed eyes half-opened and shed some light.
It is the most direct proof of God’s choice, and it has golden eyes known as future eyes that read the future through celestial bodies.
And the fact that the Golden Eye has always led the church to the right path was a fact that Rosen, facing him, knew best.
Even though she sits here in the white hall, looking out at the world, and protecting herself from the power of evil without taking a single step out.
Even though it is said that the sacred object that Arya, the god of light, left on this land fell into the hands of the evil called the evil spirit.
Because the Church, as always, would triumph because of her and her god.
“Then… Arrange accordingly…”
“…!”
Aaaaaaa!
Eventually, a pillar of light fell behind Rosen, and it happened in an instant.
