Fanatics Blinded by Paganism – 1
The relationship between the Empire and the Holy Church is close to friendly. To be precise, the Church of Dawn is friendly to the Livnoman family, but since the Church and the Church dominate each country, it is the same anyway.
The reason for the friendly relationship is simple. This is because Eimanka the Great, who founded the empire, abandoned the imperial calendar based on the founding year of the empire and introduced the holy calendar based on the founding year of the Church of Dawn. From the Church of Dawn’s point of view, only the Livno family would look lovely.
In fact, the imperial calendar is quite a dog-like calendar. Every time the empire changes, one imperial year changes, so you can see the miracle that the year that was 150 years old until yesterday suddenly changes to 400 B.C. The continent suffered that damn thing twice.
“The whole continent is Enen’s child and follows Enn’s light, so how can human affairs be the standard of the continent?”
However, instead of introducing the fourth imperial power, Emperor Eimanka declared the introduction of the holy power, and with this incident, the status of the Church of Dawn, which had been already vigorous, was greeted with a crazy cake.
To the extent that cardinals participate in the enthronement ceremonies of kings in each country, the pope still personally participates in the enthronement ceremonies of emperors and gives a congratulatory speech. However, if you think that you just react as much as you received, it’s not particularly strange.
Anyway, the Liv-Norman family and, furthermore, the empire have friendly relations with the Church of Dawn. And if you’re good with someone, how to fall out with someone.
“I showed this to the Empire three years ago.”
I inadvertently nodded my head at the appearance of the Minister of Special Affairs, who openly revealed his anger and contempt for the Church of Twilight. Yeah, those bastards blew sh*t at the Empire three years ago too.
If you have a friendly relationship with the Church of Dawn, you will inevitably have a hostile relationship with the Church of Dusk. The Empire is no different from the enemy of the Dusk Church, which is trying to drive out the Church of Dawn and become the mainstream religion.
Three years ago, when the empire’s eyes were on the north, the Church of Dusk infiltrated the islands and assassinated the cardinal in charge of the empire. It was an incident that f*cked the empire and the Holy Church at the same time with a single assassination.
“If you succeed once, you might think you can do it twice.”
“It’s a very unpleasant thing.”
The words of the Minister of Special Affairs were even more distorted.
To be honest, I’m not happy with all of the same things. Would you understand if you had attempted to assassinate Tanian while he was still at the academy?
This is only possible because they really looked down on the Empire. I can’t stand the fact that the empire looked like a patron to pagan bastards wandering around just because they succeeded once by a fluke.
‘Because I’m going to be a cub being run by Hogu.’
For my honor and prestige, idiots who look down on the empire must be sent to hell. I’ll purify you with fire, filthy cultists.
“I’m going to notify the Ministry of War soon. If it’s the Twilight Church, won’t they grind their teeth too?”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs opened his mouth behind the Minister of Special Affairs, who was thinking about ’29 ways to tear and kill the Twilight Church’. That’s right, even the Warlord has a lot of grudge against the Church of Dusk.
The war castle was dusted to the point of dust on a really rainy day by the emperor due to an incident three years ago. They said that they were already making porridge in the north, but now the system had been breached, and the imperial palace was on the verge of being breached.
In particular, the Guard 1 Corps, which was in charge of defending the system, faced that wrath head-on. At the time when he was about to be promoted from corps commander to commander of the field army, the commander of the 1st Guards Corps was demoted, and he was even discharged shortly after.
The corps commander who was discharged started his second life as a Paladin of the Church of Dawn, showing how great his hatred for the Church of Dusk was. To personally catch and kill the Twilight Church. It is unfortunate indeed.
That’s why if you bring up the story of the Church of Twilight to the Ministry of War, the trauma of that time will be stimulated and they will come running to catch and kill you right away. There will never be a shortage of manpower.
“We must hurry to prepare for interception.”
“That’s how it should be. We can’t let the battle take place in the system.”
That’s right. It is not a simple assassination level in the system, but if a battle occurs, it is not a problem that will end with a few people in charge being demoted. At least the three of us gathered here should return our heads.
Of course, it was bad when the emperor was in a bad mood these days, but the problem was that nothing good would ever happen. You must have been on your nerves because the Marquis reported an unusual sign from the north, but ‘three years ago, the children who came to the island came again.’ Do you sound the same? It is an execution without trial.
‘Damn them.’
The more you chew, the more your heat spreads. Those who were quiet when Tanian was in the Holy Land are now starting the engine? Even when you were at the academy, things you didn’t hear about?
Of course, while the Twilight Church did not produce much results in the Holy Land, they succeeded in assassinating in the system. But that’s because of the absence of Prince Ma, one of the pillars of the system’s defense, and the variables of the great subjugation war. If it were normal, they would not even come near the system.
Yes, if it’s easy enough, I’ll have to adjust it so that it’s no longer easy. That is the duty of an imperial official.
“I have a request to the Inspector General.”
While I was feeling obligated, the Minister of Foreign Affairs brought up the matter of summoning me.
“I want the Inspector General and the Mukkwangdae to come forward to intercept the Twilight Church.”
Since it was an expected request, he nodded lightly. As long as Tanian belongs to the confectionery club, I have a reason to come forward to protect him.
“And I would like the director of the inspection department to request support from His Excellency Ma Jong-gong.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t expect this.
The two ministers saw off the way to the Magic Tower with the words that they would consult with the Ministry of War and inform them of the details. It was good to say goodbye, but it was practically the same as kicking him out.
Apart from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who hit me with a smile, even the Minister of Special Affairs, who was frowning, quickly sent me to the Magic Tower as soon as the story of King Ma came out. Damn, ears were open.
‘It will turn.’
It’s a bit awkward to visit Majonggong first, but it’s not impossible. However, it is very uncomfortable to have to bring out the Twilight Church in front of Lord Majong.
“Did I hear you wrong?”
Look, isn’t it an enthusiastic response even now?
When I first entered the main room of the magic tower, it was the magician who greeted me first and said that I was happy to come. Thanks to that, he managed to have a conversation in a friendly atmosphere. Until you mention the Twilight Cult.
“I’m sorry, but you heard it right.”
He lowered his head at Jonggong Ma’s fervent gaze and lowered his gaze to the floor as much as possible. Because Ma Jong-gong’s eyes, in a state of anger, were quite stinging. I’m not guilty, I’m just a messenger.
Fortunately, the stinging eyes subsided with a small sigh, as if they recognized my innocence.
“It’s okay, raise your head.”
“Thank you, sir.”
I raised my head slightly and saw Ma Jong-gong with his eyes closed as if he was thinking deeply about something. It was like the eve of the storm, just tapping his fingers on the desk and remaining silent. I’d rather just say something.
“It’s been three years.”
Majong-gong opened his eyes after silence and spoke softly. My body trembled at the small but cold voice.
‘Bastards.’
It’s amazing. There are so many people who have a grudge with just one action. Aggro If the cost performance is great, they are great bastards.
“Don’t even know how lucky you are, dare.”
“Aren’t they foolish fanatics blinded by paganism?
Gong Ma Jong also nodded at those words. Rather, Jong-Kong Ma knows better than anyone how crazy the Church of Twilight is.
It is said that the time when the Church of Twilight was at its most dominant was about 90 years ago, and at that time, when Lord Majong was in his prime—
“Baby.”
“Oh, yes.”
I was surprised to think that I could read my thoughts in an instant because of his cold voice.
“At that time, I was away so I couldn’t deal with them.”
“Yes, I know.”
On the day that the imperial cardinal went to Enen’s side faster than Enen had predicted, Prince Majong went to his own territory to gather reinforcements to send to the north.
A disaster that occurred while Prince Ma, one of the pillars of the island’s defense, was away. In a way, it can be said that Prince Majong was also responsible, but because he was absent for war support, not for personal business, he was rather comforted by the emperor.
“Right now, even though I’m holding out, they’re aiming for the system.”
The emperor acknowledged that Duke Majong was innocent and avoided responsibility, but humiliation and shame could not be avoided. However, the days of perseverance endured because Prince Majong, an aristocrat of the empire, could not escape the empire.
“It’s running towards the bog by itself.”
After much perseverance, a miracle came when the things I wanted to catch and kill came running on their own.
Majonggong was willing to contribute to the interception of the Twilight Church. Judging from his reaction, it seems that he would have been robbed later if he had defeated the Church of Dusk without saying anything to Lord Ma.
Honestly, when I heard the news that the things I was eager to kill were wiped out without my knowledge, I must have felt exhausted and futile.
Anyway, I’m glad. If the Ministry of Special Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Majong are involved, the situation is already over. How the hell do these bastards have the courage to crash into the system?
‘I don’t understand.’
In the first place, fanaticism is an incomprehensible existence, but today it feels more bizarre.

No, isn’t it hard to understand not only fanatics, but those who are faithful to religion as a whole?
“Are there any good forests near the islands?”
“Forest?”
As soon as I returned to the mansion, I saw Tanian approaching, so it seemed like that.
Why is he suddenly looking for a forest? Thinking of forest bathing?
