“huh?”
It was because he found the familiar carriage stopped in front of the temple and the back of Raytan approaching the carriage.
Belego, who reflexively stepped aside from the window, clicked her tongue.
“Chit.”
What are you doing without leaving the topic that you don’t belong to the church.
‘I mean, go back quickly, since you’re such an annoying guy.’
At that time, I was secretly keeping an eye on Raytan to confirm with my own two eyes that he was leaving.
The apprentice priest running frantically in a hurry crashed into Raytan without finding it.
Because of that, Raytan dropped something.
It was round and looked like a pocket watch with a thin chain.
“… … uh?”
For a moment, Belego stood so close to the window that her nose and forehead were involuntarily touching.
In the meantime, Raytan, who had picked up the pocket watch that had fallen to the floor with a swift movement never seen before, screamed.
“What are you doing!”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
Despite the considerable distance, even Belego could hear the roar.
I assure you, Belego had never heard Reytan speak so loudly.
But I wasn’t surprised at all. Because what he had just seen was even more surprising.
I thought I was looking at it wrong, but no. It looked so clear.
Belego stood in front of the window for a moment, frozen, knowing that he was not mistaken.
Then Raytan started looking around.
Belego hid by the window, not knowing the exact reason.
How many seconds had passed?
Hee-ying, the sound of a horse neighing and the sound of horse hooves came one after another.
Sticking to the wall, swallowing a gulp, Belego peered out the window.
The carriage bearing the coat of arms of the Protoram family passed through the main gate of the temple and was getting farther and farther away.
“Whoa.”
Only then did Belego let out a sigh of relief and looked down at the spot where Raytan had been standing a moment before.
The place was already empty.
The apprentice priest also left before he knew it, so there was no one left.
It was as if the black smoke that was densely covering Reytan was clearly visible.
Belego, who was groping for the corner of his eyes where the power of the authority still remained, clenched his hands tightly.
‘I didn’t see it wrong.’
The power of God was completely flawless, and the black smoke that seemed to eat Raytan definitely existed.
As I reflected on the scene, Agnotia’s doctrine of always chastity before God passed through my mind.
‘Lies and hypocrisy will leave behind a stench, while betrayal and deceit will leave a black smoke.’
gulp.
Belego’s eyes shone as he swallowed repeatedly.
But even as he snorted, he consoled himself.
‘This, this is something to be careful about.’
No matter how dumb he was, he had at least some discernment.
It is a well-known story that no one knows that he and Leytan are not on good terms.
Even if he saw graphite from Raytan in such a situation, how many people would seriously listen to it?
If you do wrong, you’ll only be pointing the finger at yourself, not Reytan.
He is an ugly older brother who pushes out his eldest son and is jealous of his younger brother who inherited the family.
‘I’ll have to dig into the back quietly.’
Having made up his mind, Belego trudged and started moving again.
‘That watch… … .’
Belego’s expression became serious when he remembered Raytan’s watch.
After dropping it, I could see the graphite, and when I picked it up again, the graphite disappeared.
It was clear that the watch had some secrets.
‘If I get rid of it, wouldn’t all of Agnotia’s priests be able to see the graphite?’
It’s time to carefully and covertly dig into the back.
Belego returned to the office with a serious face.
As soon as I opened the door, I was hardened like a stone by the sight I saw.
“Hey, it’s been a while, our young boy?”
The center of the office he had messed up.
“What, are you not even saying hello?”
The brazen face of the one sitting on the luxurious sofa filled his field of vision.
“Anyway, what’s the room like?”
The first stranger who has recently been receiving a lot of attention from sub-species.
“Dirty Siri. Let’s clean up and live, huh?”
It was Kay.

The recapture of Calom Castle ended successfully.
In addition, the players also raised a spoon, even if it was small.
After taking the children to be escorted to the rear, the party members and I followed the 8th Battalion to participate in the siege of Kalom Castle as planned.
In addition to us, a number of players appeared on the battlefield.
Everyone took part in the war through personal connections or connections they had made.
Most of them were those who had completed the second awakening.
Being a stealth player means you can buy magic control.
They were skilled men who could be considered as high-ranking knights in Bihar.
‘About half of those talented people died.’
No matter how good your skills are, dying from a blind arrow is a war.
There were also many moments when I was cold.
Of course, he is still alive because he passed the risk well.
In the process, he caught three generals and wiped out thousands of field mobs.
Among the crabs, there were also 3- and 4-star evolutionary species that gave a lot of mana.
Thanks to that, I was able to absorb enough mana without regretting it.
After getting everything to gain from the siege, the first thing I did was to visit Belego.
“I heard you became a priest, is that true?”
“this person… … .”
“It’s been a while, shouldn’t we pretend to be happy?”
“Yes Inom! Where are you here, showing that shameless face!”
As I scratched my insides, Belego finally screamed out loud.
On the other hand, I raised the corner of my mouth in satisfaction.
‘It’s good because if you touch it, you get immediate feedback.’
I said, putting both feet on the table in front of the sofa to make Belego angry.
“You’re more shameless than me.”
“What, what?”
“Abducted kidnapping, attempted human trafficking is a priest.”
What do you think will happen if I tell the other priests about what happened between us?
When I started the engine to bring out the main topic that had come this far, Belego trembled.
As if to show off more, I tilted my head to the side and continued.
“I heard that Agnotia’s highest minister opposed this appointment to the end… … .”
Of course, as a result, he was appointed due to the internal interests of the church.
What matters now is not the result.
It’s important that there are forces within Agnotia who don’t like Belego, who was appointed in an unfair way.
What would happen if they pointed out what happened between Belego and me?
‘I just said that I would not be held legally responsible.’
I never promised others I wouldn’t tell the story of that day.
It has nothing to do with how other people reacted to the story.
When I kindly explained that point, Belego couldn’t scream even though his face was even redder than before.
I smiled at him and snapped my fingers and said firmly.
“If you don’t want to make a big deal of it, why don’t you sit down?”
Seeing that he sat on the sofa there without protesting, Belego seemed to understand his situation well.
‘It’ll be easier to talk about.’
The reason I came all the way to Belego was simple.
I heard that Belego became a priest through Jordan.
It was enough that there was corruption in the process without having to listen to an explanation.
‘I must have used bribes to become a priest.’
There will surely be more to come.
The Belego I saw was quite greedy for money.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you want, and he also has more greed because he has a lot of wealth.
There is no way that such a person would have wasted all his fortune with bribes.
There must be money left in my back pocket, and I will rip off the property… … .
‘No, no.’
I was thinking of getting an investment. And he planned to make an orphanage out of it.
As a result of researching this and that, it was because there was no proper facility to take care of survivors rescued from the farm.
Losing one’s home is more serious than one might think.
It means that existing economic activities will be completely cut off.
In that case, it is difficult for even adults to eat and live.
‘It’s even worse for orphans who have no economic ability.’
It is harvested by each denomination, but it is a story that only applies to children under the age of seven.
In wartime, food is scarce, and the priority of supplies is focused on the military.
No matter how influential the church is on the entire continent, it cannot pour food into an endless pit.
‘It’s all about charity work.’
that’s the reality But the reality was that I couldn’t stay still.
Is it because of the responsibility of discovering children?
Or did Baron Volbita’s words linger in the depths of his brain?
Maybe it’s the conscience of an adult who couldn’t bear to turn away.
To be honest, I couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason.
But I have already decided to do this.
Then why not waste time looking back in obscurity?
‘Honestly, it’s neater to take responsibility until the end, rather than giving up vaguely.’
Now that Belego became a priest, he couldn’t ignore his external activities.
‘I have a lot of money, and I have a weakness, so it’s perfect for a charity business partner.’
It would also be easy to control them from interfering with the operation of the orphanage.
As I had made up my mind from the beginning, I persuaded Belego very systematically.
After bringing up the orphanage, I didn’t forget to slightly add pressure.
“Think carefully, you paid money and became a priest.”
Don’t you know that there is no end to arguing?
“Because I’m a bit of a jerk, so if I do, I’ll do it?”
Now that my name is on the lips of people every day, what would happen if the priests who were involved in the bribery case were brought into public discussion?
“Wouldn’t your position in the church be embarrassing?”
In fact, most of the words fit better with the word intimidation than persuasion.
‘For a guy with a lot to lose, threats are more effective than asking.’
In fact, Belego didn’t protest even when his chin twitched.
“Isn’t my proposal bad for you? You know that.”
Now that the higher ranks are filled with hatred, if you want to contribute to the church somehow and raise the name of the church, it is only right to turn your eyes to the outside world.
When I said that, Belego’s expression changed.
The first time I told you to give me money, I was holding back my anger.
Now, rolling her eyes gently seemed like she was doing some calculations.

Just looking at it, it seemed like I was halfway through, so I decided to encourage it one more time.
“I don’t want to interfere, but I have no intention of stopping them from being condescending.”
So later, at least show off to the upper ranks.
‘I became a priest with money, so I spend money to renew my image.’
If you stabbed it that far, the result was obvious.
Belego gave me what I wanted with a compulsive attitude.
However, his eyes were very bright.
It was clear that he was trying to take advantage of this by spreading it all over the place.
It’s pretty simple anyway.
‘Well, let’s take care of it.’
I really wasn’t going to care how he used it.
And to be honest, there’s nothing wrong with Belego talking a lot.
‘Because I have an excuse to continue receiving money.’
I boasted about it here and there with my mouth, but it must be hard to withdraw when I was asked to give more money.
Even if that wasn’t the case, once I got the check, my purpose was accomplished.
If you build an orphanage with this money, Palao will manage it.
‘It’s taking care of the kids, but I can’t leave it to someone like Belego.’
That day, I delivered a check to Jordan, giving him specific directions for running the orphanage.
Time passed quickly as we discussed each and every detail.
The day of the victory ceremony had dawned.
