312 – Follow Me (4)
Lankter’s eyes widened in surprise and showed no sign of shrinking.
This is why Fiat came into his sights after the Attendant of Light.
‘Why is the Black Panther of the Empire with us? Leaning mind, you idiots. ‘What on earth have you done?’
Lankter was often exchanging information with [Turning White], But was unaware of the information that Fiat was attached to Theo.
Seeing Lankter’s embarrassed appearance for the first time in his life, the corners of the Light Acolytes’ raised mouths did not dare to come down.
The low-ranking members of the church were whispering.
“The saint’s party… Why are you smiling like that?”
“Are you excited because it’s your first time coming to headquarters?”
“Ugh… It’s a bit awkward to say this, but I’m embarrassed to see it. No matter how good it is, you have to take care of your facial expressions.”
Sarah heard those words and quickly lost her expression.
Then he checked the faces of other people.
Theo, Fiat, and Isabella still had expressionless expressions. Brittany and Adrienne quickly lost their expressions.
But Billy and Mike were still laughing heartily.
Sarah said quietly, poking the sides of the two people.
“Stop lowering your mouth, you idiots.”
“Ah, for the first time in a while, I want to have some fun…”
When Billy and Mike were about to protest.
“Hello, everyone. Isabella wants to become a faithful servant to the great Lenimide. “Greetings.”
Isabella took off the hat she was wearing and walked a few steps toward the church members.
The low-ranking members of the church let out exclamations without even realizing it.
“Oh…”
“Wow…”
Humans are animals dominated by sight and hearing.
Isabella’s beautiful appearance, voice, and sacred atmosphere were enough to captivate her audience at once.
Isabella was familiar with situations like this.
She continued her words without the slightest embarrassment.
“Thank you for your hospitality. “Because your time is precious, I would like to tell you straight away why I am here.”
She raised her index finger and pointed to the holy sword stuck in the center of the cathedral.
“Today, I am about to witness a warrior who will be chosen by a god who has not been chosen by anyone for over 200 years.”
The inside of the cathedral was in commotion.
Not only low-ranking members of the church, but also a few church officials opened their mouths wide.
They had seen people trying to pull out the Holy Sword as a monthly event, but this time the case was different. The person who spoke was none other than the first saint, Isabella.
‘The saint made such a bold statement…?’
Isabella was famous for never failing. There was so much speculation that she could see the future in advance.
She declared that she had brought a person to whom she would take the new object today.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
Theo walked forward and stood next to Isabella.
Theo said, bowing slightly to the audience.
“Greetings to all church officials. My name is Theo Lin Walderk. “I took steps to be chosen by the religious leaders of the church.”
Theo did not give a single glance to the highest ranking members of the church.
She only paid attention to people at lower levels in the church. That attitude was new to them.
“It feels a little different than before…?”
“That’s cool. “The fact that he has two swords on his belt also gives him a certain atmosphere.”
This is because all those who came to retrieve the holy sword so far showed an attitude to impress the highest ranking members of the church.
Lankter stared at Theo with serious eyes.
‘He’s pretty good at such a young age. I know for sure what the dogs and pigs of the church are impressed by.’
Theo opened his mouth again.
“As our family has grown up under Lenimide’s loving love for a long time, we also know well what Lenimide once said, ‘A sacred object illuminates all its subjects.'”
Theo walked forward and stood in front of the holy sword.
“I think the true meaning of those words is that gender, family, age, race, etc. Do not matter when it comes to being chosen by a divine being. “It only depends on the vague subjectivity of the new things.”
Theo grabbed the handle of the holy sword stuck on the floor.
There was a feeling of immersion that I couldn’t take my eyes off of.
Everyone held their breath and focused on Theo’s movements.
The highest-ranking members of the church who were sitting in the front row also stood up and looked at Theo.
However, I did not have high expectations.
‘What kind of item is that? Not only past popes, but also the leaders of the Holy Knights who were famous among people of different races were not chosen.’
Either way, Theo muttered while only looking at the holy sword.
“Even to this moment, I don’t know why Shinmul wants me. But I understand this one thing.”
Theo grabbed the handle of the holy sword.
“Build all the demons that are rampant on the continent.”
Tudduduk─
Theo pulled out the holy sword and raised it above his head.
The brilliant light emanating from the sword body filled the cathedral.
People watched the scene with their mouths wide open.
“Uh, uh, uh…”
From Noble mtl dot com
Not only the church members, but also Theo’s companions looked at him with their eyes wide open.
Xiong, Shuung.
Theo thoughtlessly swung his sword in the air a few times.
After that, he took out the sword sheath from [Ah Space Bag] And stored the holy sword.
Isabella walked towards Theo, and she stood in front of him.
Boom.
Isabella knelt down in front of Theo and closed her eyes.
She then put her hands together and prayed.
“······Isabella, Lenimide’s faithful servant, meets Lenimide’s great warrior.”
Everyone else who came to their senses after hearing her voice also fell to her knees.
“Ah, ah…”
People shed tears.
“Great warrior of Renymid, please look down on us foolish people…”
“Please be a huge tree that I can lean on…”
All the highest-ranking members of the church knelt down and prayed to Theo with their hands together.
* * *
I looked down at the people kneeling at my feet.
Only then did I look at the highest-ranking members of the church.
‘How many of these are Turning White rats?’
The person I need to punish first and foremost is the person who has been bribed to the core by [Turning White].
Lankterre is just the tip of the iceberg. He was not truly bought by [Turning White]. It’s more like a strategic partnership where we exchange helpful information.
‘I’m not sure yet.’
A high-ranking figure in a religion that worships the God of Light was bribed by a devil worship group, and is there clear evidence?
That is truly a major event that could turn the continent upside down.
No matter how much of an asshole he is, he won’t show off easily. There’s no way he could figure it out just by looking at the outside.
Well, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, since I have drawn the holy sword, I will find out soon enough.
I spoke to the people who were still lying flat on the floor.
“I hope everyone wakes up.”
No one woke up. In fact, he lowered his head to the floor and began to worship me.
“Please show us the way forward, Master Daejeon…”
“The world before was so dark. Please brighten the path ahead…”
······.
I’m dizzy. Judging from the comments, they seem to think that I am an incarnation sent to earth by Renimid, the god of light.
Of course, I think this is justified since they are part of the headquarters that are religious to their core. They are not people who are told not to worship because they won’t.
However, this level of intense worship is burdensome to me.
“I am also just Lenimide’s lamb and not an object of worship. Everyone, lift your head up.”
After quite some time had passed, people began to wake up.
People approached me.
“Great Master of Light… I want to feel the baptism of light. Please allow me to hold your hand just once…”
“I would also like to ask you a favor. “I will live remembering this moment until I stop breathing.”
People started lining up in front of me.
Suddenly the atmosphere became like a celebrity handshake event.
‘These crazy religious bastards.’
I looked at people with dumb eyes.
However, they twisted their bodies as if they were thrilled to receive attention.
Billy and Mike squeezed between them and stood in front of me.
“Do it for us first, Theo. “I think shaking hands first will be the most effective.”
“Are you going to do it? Well, of course I will. “What kind of relationship are we?”
At that time.
“Keu, keum.”
The highest ranking members of the church, who had been coughing, stood up. They stood in the front row, as if they were embarrassed. The number is fifteen. They were most of the highest ranking people in the cathedral, including Lankhter.
“······.”
It was absurd for a moment.
My mind quickly began to grasp the current situation.
‘There are three highest-ranking people who did not stand in line.’
······It seems that those who were truly bribed by [Turning White] Were found easier than expected.
