Episode 99
Chapter 20 Gift (2)
After the situation was over, when I heard the explanation, it was said that Belego was banned.
It is a restriction that prevents you from uttering certain words.
To be precise, it is a method that is not conveyed even if a specific word is mentioned.
The forbidden words are confined to another space and cannot be spoken.
‘It’s a level of magic that’s one level higher than the barrier… … .’
Thanks to this, finding out who is behind the end of this has become far away.
‘If you want to cheat, you can do it, but… … .’
If you guess the main suspects and have Belego read their names, you should be able to find them.
There must be a name you haven’t heard among them.
However, there is no way to find a suspect.
‘At most, it’s about being related to the church.’
Since he said he would give Belego the position of priest, the possibility is high.
But I couldn’t be sure that it was the priest who went to Belego and made the offer.
‘Because he might have sent an agent.’
That’s why even the minimum conditions to filter out the suspect are not established.
As a result, the trick I came up with is just a bad way to do it.
It would be a huge waste of time if I didn’t have them read the names of all the Bihars.
So, for now, they concluded that it was impossible to find out who was behind the final stage through Belego.
should I say instead? I decided to make full use of Belego’s background.
He decided to take advantage of his background, which was a little different from others, to collect a large amount of compensation.
“Hey, it’s shiny.”
As a result, I was able to see the sight of gold and silver treasures piled up like a small garden in front of my eyes.
Satisfied, I looked inside the safe I took from Belego.
According to the explanation I heard lightly right before I came in, it contains almost hundreds of billions of assets.
In addition to that, the income from a small textile merchant in Belego’s name goes into this treasury.
There was no need to worry that Belego might steal the money.
“You mean that if you have this, you can’t change anything in the contract here?”
I asked as I tossed and picked up the golden key I was holding in my hand with a smile on my face, and Jordan, who followed me into the safe, answered.
“Yes, that’s right. It is impossible to cancel, and access is restricted without a permit.”
“Currently, will the money coming into this safe be maintained?”
“If the contract was like that in the first place.”
On paper, the owner of this safe is Belego, but in reality, only I can use it.
This golden key, which I now hold in my hand, made that unusual thing possible.
This wasn’t just a key, it was something like a membership card that allowed you to enter and exit Kerman Bank’s safe.
Of course, if the person loses the key, it can be reissued.
‘It’s a different story after submitting the transfer certificate.’
This can be prevented by having an official document proving that the key was handed over to someone else.
The paper Jordan is holding right now is the official document.
When I thought of Belego, who gave me the golden key and the transfer certificate, I burst into laughter.
‘It was a wasteful sight to see alone.’
Believing in the effect of the ban on me and smiling triumphantly, it bothered me.
At the end of the day, he made me sign the transfer deed with trembling hands while turning white, so I’m satisfied.
‘Seeing that they are given out at once like this, it seems like there might be one or two more safes.’
It’s something you have to bring in step by step.
‘At that time, I have to get a recording correction magic tool and make sure to record it.’
If you’re going to keep making fun of him shivering in haze, you’ll have to record it.
That’s enough for now.
‘It’s too much to use as activity funds, so what?’
You don’t have to use it to exchange magic, which is more precious than blood, into cash.
That alone was a worthy achievement.
Of course, not everyone thought so.
“It’s not something that goes on like this.”
The moment I was about to take a look inside the safe in earnest.
Hearing a low murmur, he turned his head to see Lashar, who had entered the safe after Jordan.
‘It’s still a serious expression.’
It didn’t happen out of the blue, it started when I decided to bury Belego’s sins.
Because this vault we now stand in was what we got at the cost of silence.
She was of the opinion that Belego’s atrocities should be exposed to the whole world and that he should pay for his crimes.
It is safe to say that harming the strangers who came to this world by borrowing the name of the 7 gods is a challenge to the 7 great churches.
‘After all, it’s like attacking an ally’s troops.’
That is why it is believed that right and wrong should be properly determined through a doctrinal trial.
‘Everyone who intervened in this must be severely punished… … .’
Recalling the conversation we had before getting the safe from Belego, I let out a light sigh.
It wasn’t that I was doing this because I didn’t know good and evil and causal retribution.
‘Ideals always look sweet.’
I just found a detour because I know that what Lashar is claiming is practically impossible.
‘It’s impossible to hold the guild accountable with the guys we caught today.’
Because the tail will be cut from there, and vested interests will intervene to somehow maintain the status quo.
Even if I try to dig up the truth and overturn the situation, the movement of those who want to cover and bury will be more active.
It’s a game that you can’t win even if you fight them with the power of the palao that is inclined.
In the process of cutting off the tail, not only the mercenaries but also Belego could be cleaned up if they made a mistake.
‘That’s a handshake.’
It means that it is not yet time to rise up.
In this case, it is better to hold back and lower your body instead of responding emotionally.
It was unavoidable as long as the guild could control the force of a specific group of mercenaries.
In a wartime situation, troops also mean power.
So, instead of playing a game in which they could lose, they set a course to scrape together all the benefits they could get right away.
By my standards, it was reasonable, efficient, and the best way.
So no matter what Rashar said, he had no intention of changing his meaning.
Having already explained enough in this regard, I did not say anything more, but just looked at Lachar.
Eventually, Rashar, who bit his teeth tightly, lowered his head and said.
“… … I’m sorry that the story has already ended.”
It seems like there are a lot of things I want to say, but I don’t want to argue with my decision.
‘It seems that the feelings are complicated in many ways.’
After a short thought, I approached Rashar.
Then, to adjust the height of the sight, he said while bending his back.
“Do you think I give in too easily?”
I didn’t actually hear the answer, but it wasn’t hard to guess what she would do.
I couldn’t swallow my anger and laughed when I saw Rashar in silence.
‘He said he’s seen me several times.’
Not family or friends, just people on the same boat with similar destinations.
But I thought you would be more angry than me for what happened to me.
‘Not bad.’
Normally, it would have been unpleasant for me to constantly voice opinions against my decisions.
But now it was more pleasant than unpleasant.
Rashar is doing this because he is genuinely angry at what happened to me.
Maybe because I knew that, I thought I should appease her at least once.
Ting, I tossed and received the key with a sound, then straightened my back and said.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“hmm… … ?”
“This is just, like a trailer.”
“trailer?”
“Because I have a back end.”
“The end?”
“He’s the kind of person who always pays back what he did.”
It is difficult to find out who is behind it right now through Belego.
Even if you find it, there is no way to pay it back.
However, there is no guarantee that this will not be possible in the future.
This is also the reason why Belego decided to bury the affair.
‘It’s better to let him live than to die.’
I believe that if you keep an eye on him who has some kind of connection with the background, clues will come out someday.
Yeah, I’m not giving up on the background investigation.
‘I decided to ride the jonber until I find it.’
And it will surely pay off.
What if I get pointed at for being intolerant?
If I don’t pay it back myself, I won’t feel relieved.
‘Let’s have some patience.’
If you take out your anger on Belego in small ways and wait, you won’t get bored.
“So don’t worry about it.”
“… … .”
“You’ll feel sorry for Belego after seeing what I’m doing? You might be disappointed in me.”
Rashar, who was still serious, was worried about it, so he said it lightly and in a joking tone.
“It will never happen!”
However, Rashar actually responded with a more serious and serious face.
I didn’t mean to take it so seriously.
Scratching my neck in embarrassment, I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“Well, then you can harass me with peace of mind.”
“Promise me you will. You have to show a good example to such a person!”
“Yes, yes, I will try to live up to that expectation.”
I replied with a smile and handed out the golden key to Rashar.
This was my first effort to live up to her expectations, and it was also one of the reasons I was trying to get reparations from Belego.
“huh?”
Rashar, who looked at me and the key, tilted his head.
To him, I kindly explained my actions.
“take it.”
As he spoke while still maintaining a smile, Rashar’s eyes really became round like the full moon.
She seemed very surprised, but that’s what I thought when I found out that Belego had a lot of money.
Let’s fill the safe of the Palao Order, which is in trouble.
This was also to pay off the debt I owed to Rashar.
‘It won’t be of much help to the lady of the Bennet family, but it will be of help to the apostle of the Palao family.’
It is the Bennet family that I owe.
But it was thanks to Lachar that I was able to take care of it.
The owner of my debt can be seen as Rashar, so it’s fair to pay her back.
“If the church needs money, take it out and spend it here. You can’t use your own money.”
I heard that Marquis Bennett, Lachar’s father, blocked it.
Not a penny of the Bennet family’s wealth was allowed to flow into the Palao Order.
‘Something like resentment towards the god who chose my daughter as an apostle and then disappeared.’
The flow of the story through Chentler was simple.
It is said that Lashar was a genius who showed great talent from an early age, so his father had high expectations for him.
The family decided to have the eldest daughter, and the second daughter, Rashar, was scheduled to join the Holy Knights of the Senoa Church, which served in the Bennet family.
Palao suddenly intervened and chose Rashar as an apostle.
Up to that point, I was able to move on as if something unexpected had happened.
It was a great honor to be chosen as an apostle of the 7 gods.
However, as soon as Rashar was chosen as an apostle, the Palao disappeared, and rumors began to circulate that it seemed to have disappeared before long.
An apostle of a church that has lost God.
‘From my father’s point of view, it’s enough to make my clothes explode.’
In his eyes, Palao is the one who ruined his daughter’s future.
It would have been a natural step to resent the goddess who irresponsibly disappeared after only obliging her daughter.
That’s why they blocked the money going into the Palao Church.
In fact, I’ve seen Rashar groan over money issues related to the Order several times.
It was only natural that there was almost no regular income from the temple.
‘Since she’s a girl from a rich family, her body would have been comfortable.’
Her heart probably wasn’t like that.
That’s why I thought about it from the moment I recognized that Belego had a lot of money.
He said it would be good to use this opportunity to secure funds for the church’s activities.
It was something I had been thinking about from the beginning, so there was no reason to hesitate.
I handed the key to her who didn’t even want to move.
However, Rashar was startled and tried to return the key.
