Episode
108 .
From the north to the south, black wolves traversed the mountains of the empire. It was clearly imprinted in the minds of the people.
Iden, who treats the King of the Beasts like a horse. Originally, people couldn’t recognize such a detailed form.
It was because Fenrir’s movement speed was too fast for ordinary eyes to include.
However, the locals certainly saw it. It was possible because Iden drove the wolf slowly. It was to show the possibility of controlling Baeksuwang.
Rumors will spread one way or another.
Human anxiety about Heilang will be alleviated a little.
However, since it cannot disappear completely, the real thing still evokes fear. Like the new recruits who kicked their butt off as soon as they saw Fenrir.
“Huh, it’s Heilang!”
“It’s an assault!”
The southern part of the Empire, under the direct control of the Church of Versoella. The new recruits who were standing guard at the entrance of the territory were startled by Fenrir’s unexpected appearance.
How could there be Heilang in the South? They couldn’t understand English.
As one of the new recruits crawled away, a human figure jumped off the wolf’s back.
It was Iden. It was huge, but the landing was very soft.
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Thirty new recruits all looked confused at the same time.
“Tae, His Holiness Taekwang!”
He immediately knelt down and bowed. It was the first time they had met Aiden, but they naturally knew how close they were to each other. All the people of the empire were like that. Few residents did not know Aiden.
The new recruits looked at Fenrir and Iden alternately.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“What happened?”
Even under the direct jurisdiction of the church, 30 sentries were not set up.
The captain of the guard took a deep breath and said.
“Ah, nine days ago, a special task force under the direct control of the Holy Assembly captured the situation of the demonists infiltrating Versoella. Details are under investigation.”
Versoela belonged to a small group among the Church’s direct jurisdiction. If he was aiming here, there was only one reason.
He must have tried to dig up Iden. Because the monastery he graduated from was here. Currently, the number one target of the demonists is the existence of Taekwang.
Aiden frowned.
Baekho poked his head out of his arms and said.
“Are you a step late? You should have found this body sooner.”
The new recruits were surprised again. Aiden pushed the white tiger’s forehead with his index finger and said.
“Have you been arrested?”
“I have captured seven.”
It was fortunate in misfortune. It was because Iden could unconditionally know the facts they dug up.
No human being could keep their mouth shut during the church’s interrogation.
Aiden nodded and moved on.
“Guide me.”
The captain of the guard jumped up from his seat and made a gesture to follow him.
“I will see you.”
Fenrir also canceled sign language and followed Aiden.
The scenery seen past the entrance was not much different from other territories. Private houses were lined up in front, and a wide pasture was located around them.
What is unusual is that there was no lordship in the direct jurisdiction. Instead, a larger church than other manors was located, and related facilities were lined up. The monastery was one of them.
Aiden might be used to this place, but in fact he wasn’t. It was because the point of possession was right after graduating from the monastery.
Fenrir licked his lips as he watched the livestock roaming the pasture.
“Your flesh is good for eating. It tastes pretty good.”
The captain of the guard, who was guiding us, shuddered. I thought you were talking to yourself.
Iden said, staring at the church.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“There is no such thing as a tyrant. Can’t I speak with my mouth?”
“One more word, and I’ll tie it up here.”
Fenrir snorted as he looked at the wooden fence. I didn’t open my mouth.
The captain of the guard stopped at the front door of the church. Two guards standing outside bowed towards Aiden. Two Aspects in black uniforms. He would have opened his face in the North. Iden didn’t remember very well.
“Meet His Holiness Taekwang.”
“Yes, it is a lot of trouble.”
The two quickly opened the front door. At the end of the long corridor was the entrance to the chapel. The destination was not there, but the basement.
The denomination does not defile its chapels with torture.
When I went down the stairs on the left, the iron door to the basement was already wide open.
It seems that Iden’s visit has already been spread. A recruit would have run and reported.
“““Meet His Holiness Taekwang!”””
The large space was filled with crowds. The Heretic Inquisition, the Ascendant, the 10 Paladins, and the new recruits, including the Holy Gospel Officer. All were dispatched for the purpose of investigation.
More troops were in the process of chasing the escaped demonists or searching other areas of the direct control.
A woman in a red dress slowly walked out from among them and bowed.
“Meet St. Valenstalga. This is Beatrice, the Saint of Punishment.”
It was the woman I saw at the Holy Family installation ceremony about a year ago. saint of punishment. The decadent beauty fit very well with the gloomy cellar.
The red dress was so dark that it remained the same no matter how much blood was stained.
she said with a soft smile.
“It is an honor to have you here.”
lie. The mind’s eye, which was activated right after entering the basement, judged that. When I tried to look at her status window, it didn’t open as expected.
It meant that Iden was not recognized as a god.
Of course there must be such a person. It didn’t show on the surface.
Aiden said calmly.
“Nice to meet you. You captured seven.”
“That’s right. Would you like to see it?”
“okay.”
As Beatrice beckoned, the bowed personnel stepped aside and made a path.
At the end of the road, dozens of molds stood up.
“Didn’t you say seven?”
“The rest are the faithful of the territories, including bishops and abbots, as well as priests and apprentices.”
A weak song continued to be heard. Even those whose skin had peeled off, revealing red skin, were also holding their breath.
Like this, no one could die in the mold the saintess had erected. Beatrice’s authority. It was the power that bound the suspect’s life.
She keeps the subject alive until she gets the answer she wants.
Like Xerath, Beatrice was feared by the inhabitants of this world.
Aiden looked at her.
“Are they guilty too?”
The saintess replied with a smile.
“of course. He lived with an infiltrated cultist for over two weeks. There may be apostates among them.”
It didn’t attack by force, but it seemed to have infiltrated it. Therefore, the saintess’ hypothesis was also very persuasive. Someone could have infiltrated the direct jurisdiction first and played the role of Ganja.
I wasn’t sure of one. In a word, they are trying to elicit some suspicion through torture. It was indeed the church’s method. In this world, there was no principle of presumption of innocence.
Aiden bit his lip and walked towards them. If it was his mind, he might be able to relieve the injustice.
Just as I was about to ask a question, the boy tied to the lead trembled. He seemed to have something to say.
When the saintess confirmed the scene and recited a hymn, the boy’s tongue that had been cut off grew back.
Beatrice opened her mouth.
“Did you ever think to be truthful?”
The boy looked at Iden and stammered.
“Stop, Holy Knight. me, it’s me let. This is Tedrang’s Rhett, who was given a seal by God. I really don’t know anything. Trust me, please.”
with Ted? let? It didn’t come to mind right away. It was only after digging through the other side of my memory that I finally found out.
“Your sister’s name was probably Julie.”
The boy nodded with tears in his eyes.
“A paladin… no, it is my sister whom God saved.”
It was a mission he had just before he was commissioned as a formal paladin. He subdued the incubus hiding in Tedrang and saved a girl who was poisoned by Magi.
At that time, she handed the seal to Julie’s younger brother and told her to visit the church, but it was in practice.
Aiden nodded.
“It’s great.”
Then he looked around and asked the others.
“Are there any priests of the Demonic Cult here?”
Occasionally, weak voices were heard.
“Oh, no.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Believe me!”
“I serve the sun.”
.
.
.
Each one was confirmed accurately. Unfortunately, the saintess’ prediction was correct. Among the dozens of demonists excluding the seven, there were four spies.
Aiden pointed at them and said.
“Leave the authors alone, cure the rest and release them all.”
The saintess drew an arc and answered.
From noble mtl dot com
“The charges haven’t gone away yet.”
At her protest, most of the dispatched investigators hardened their expressions. Some seemed to agree with the saintess’ words.
Aiden looked at her and said calmly.
“Don’t tell me twice.”
The saintess gazed at Aiden and slightly lowered her head.
“I will serve you.”
There was not even a subtle air current passing by on her face. The saintess was just reciting a hymn. At the same time, the tortured wounds began to heal.
Lost skin was regenerated and ruptured eyeballs were restored. The burns were also completely erased.
The ropes that tied them down also flowed helplessly.
Those who were freed bowed to the floor and repeated their thanks. There were also many sobbing believers.
Iden scanned them. I found the apparently oldest man and approached him.
I met the eyes of the prostrate old man.
“Do you remember me?”
It could be an abbot or a bishop. Iden was the first to ask a question to those who would know everything about the direct jurisdiction.
The old man answered as if he was embarrassed.
“I remember. How can I forget His Holiness was more exceptional than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
The fact that the monastery’s grades were very good was well known to Aiden.
The point wasn’t that. I was curious about his whereabouts. where the hell did you come from
Iden tried to ask correctly, but stopped.
“Look at this child.”
Baekho pulled out of his arms and said.
“Two is the maximum per day.”
I couldn’t confirm everyone’s memories.
The old man was taken aback when he saw Ain, but he didn’t say anything. Just following Aiden’s command, we met eyes.
After a while, Baekho bowed his head.
“Wow, how do you do this? Boredom, arrogance, narcissism, indifference. These are all words for you.”
“Personality is not the problem.”
Baekho spoke softly into Aiden’s ear.
“······It’s ambiguous, was it wrapped in a cloth in the chapel? I don’t know who left it. Are they, demonists? They checked that far too.”
The church advertised that Iden was a baby that came down from the sky with wings. Of course, it was just a story.
In reality, it was wrapped in a cloth and abandoned in the chapel.
After thinking for a moment, Iden raised his upper body. He said looking at the investigation table.
“Have you figured out the purpose of the Demonic Cult?”
The young interrogator replied.
“I have already completed my investigation. They’ve been digging into His Holiness’ past, but it doesn’t seem like they’ve made any profit.”
Even the demonists could not figure out the birth. A baby alone in the chapel. That was all.
Aiden opened his mouth.
“Don’t go anywhere for a while.”
Having said that, Aiden exited the basement and headed for the chapel in front. Several followers, including Fenrir, followed him inside.
Even the humanized Fenrir was still feared, so people kept their distance.
Aiden looked down at the white tiger.
“Where are you?”
“There, behind the podium.”
It was a place abandoned as a baby.
The moment he approached and confirmed it, the spirit he was holding began to glow. Strands of light stretched out and hit the wall.
A deformed calculation formula encroaching on the chapel. Aiden’s eyes were too familiar.
It was a phenomenon that appeared when creating a character. Immediately after, each spell burned brightly and slowly spit out familiar appearances.
There were twelve intelligent beings. Dissimilar at all, they had only one thing in common.
It was true that it was Yoo Ji-tae’s past.
The dot fragments he has raised that have never reached an ending. However, some of them were among the strongest in a single episode.
Such an effort has become a reality.
They all opened their eyes at once.
In the southern unexplored continent route, Dragoon Bentham opened his mouth.
“I took over as the head of the heavenly army.”
It was Yoo Ji-tae who was at least close to clearing.
