165. Oren moves Leone
Oren called a meeting.
“The reason we gathered you here is because of new information.”
As soon as Oren finished speaking, Rect stood up and immediately explained the information.
“A strange object was found on the trade route outside the empire. We couldn’t get it, but according to the staff dispatched there, it’s called a ‘sacred thing’.”
The conference room became noisy.
“Huh. Are you serious?”
The wise man was startled and asked a question.
“That’s right. I haven’t confirmed if it’s new, but it seems to be everywhere.”
At those words, the elven guardian and the witch realized something and opened their mouths.
“That wouldn’t be a lie.”
“I think so too.”
At the words of the two, the meeting hall began to hum even more.
In the first place, the divine object itself was precious, and considering the research conducted in Killika, its value increases even more.
“I need that!”
“The research on using the divine power of the divine object to activate the magic circle is almost over!”
“The value of use is enormous!”
Ed, Ward, Elric. Three people raised their hands and shouted.
“That’s why we called a meeting. This is an opportunity for Killika as well as for Bishop Leone.”
It seemed that he hadn’t expected that Leon’s name would pop up here.
“As soon as he recovers, the parish head is busy moving. Doesn’t everyone agree that Bishop Leone needs a break?”
Everyone nodded their heads in unison.
“In addition, it is said that the Church of the Sun is also conducting this investigation. Since the saintess will be with Leon, unreasonable schedules will be impossible.”
Oren’s preparation did not end here.
“The Vatican even rents that carriage. It will also help Leon-nim’s recovery.”
There was a carriage that high-ranking officials of the Holy See rode when moving.
It was a famous wagon made of trees fed with holy water, filled with various magic circles and divine power that was good for the body.
“haha. That’s a great idea.”
“I agree.”
“You seemed like you needed a break.”
“It looks like your face has been cut in half.”
For half of it, I only lost about 3 kg at most.
If it stays the same, I think it will show through, so adjusting it a little helped me like this.
‘Although it’s strange to find out that I’ve lost 3kg.’
The atmosphere of everyone agreeing began to flow. Here, Oren added one thing.
“I also plan to leave for a while. Lion-sama and my authority will be acted upon by the ruler of Killika.”
“Are you both away?”
Oren nodded.
“I have work to do in the opposite area to where Leon-nim is.”
“Huh. Are you planning to take the enemy’s gaze away from Leone?”
The sage understood Oren’s meaning exactly.
“Yes. That’s why I wanted Leone to come.”
“I’ll have to spread the rumor.”

Maybe it was because they gathered smart people and had a meeting, so if they pretended, they pretended.
“Yes. I will spread rumors that Leon-sama is looking outside the Empire, and I am remaining in Killika.”
“I prepared that.”
Rect had already set up a rumor.
“Is it going to go like that? Please take good care of Killika.”
I felt a different sense of trust from everyone compared to when I was Leon.
That’s how Leon’s schedule was decided.
* * *
Everything went smoothly, as if the preparations had already been completed. Lyon also moved quickly to match.
“I’m going out of that empire, would you like to come with me?”
“really? Can I go with you?”
“Yes. Are you feeling better?”
“I’m not finished recovering, but it’s okay!”
He opened the door to the spirit realm and joined the king of fairies who had entered a recovery period. The king of fairies was essential when there was something from the past or something he didn’t know.
In addition to that, when I packed ‘various tools’ and beads prepared for this trip, I was ready to leave.
After a while.
The papal chariot entered Killica.
Looking at the carriage, I could see that the Pope had not forgotten his promise to Oren.
The requested wagon was natural, and the number of people was minimal. In the coachman’s seat, a paladin was sitting.
“Welcome to Killika.”
The one who responded to Leon’s respectful greeting was not a paladin sitting in the coachman’s seat.
“Thank you for the welcome.”
The saintess got off the carriage.
“Is that the end of Jim?”
“Yes. There is a small trick, so this one marble is all. You don’t have to worry about this either.”
With Leon’s words, the orb floated into the sky. Her eyes suddenly widened, but she didn’t show any surprise.
‘Five. I’ve gotten better at managing my expression?’
It seemed that the things she had done while working as Oren served as an opportunity for her.
“I want you to leave right away, how are you?”
“I am fine. Our personnel will quietly catch up, will you mind?”
She nodded, as if expecting that much.
“It seems that the people from Killika took care of the escort. Yes. it’s okay.”
The conversation ended with that.
Leone floated the orb on top of the wagon and entered the wagon.
“Sir Camelon. Please depart.”
“Yes. Holy Maiden.”
At those words, Leon didn’t express himself, but he was surprised.
‘Camelon? Is that gentleman here?’
He is not famous now, but he was the most famous of the Paladins before returning.
A Guardian Paladin who protects the Pope.
After asking for the minimum number of people, the pope sent the one he trusted the most.
“It will be a longer trip than I thought. Rest in peace.”
She awakened Leon’s thoughts.
“Thank you for your consideration. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a nice carriage, so I’m embarrassed.”
“I heard that you were recuperating until recently, so I prepared a carriage for you to rest comfortably.”
That’s how the journey with the saintess began.
* * *
While traveling, Leon could feel that many things had changed.
Even this place, reached through the teleport gate, was a city that did not exist before returning.
“This is the end of where you can come using the teleport gate.”
“Is this your base city?”
“Yes. It is the ‘beginning of the world’, the base city of the northern region.”
“It’s a pretty quaint name.”
“I heard it got its name because of the northern tradition.”
The ‘beginning of the world’, a base city created by the nobles of the empire for trade.
It was a city that was created thanks to Leon stopping the war.
“By the way, why did you come to the North? I thought you would move to the northwest region, the base of the Church of the Sun.”
“I received permission from the Church of the Land that has its base here. It is an area that I found after careful investigation.”
Of course, Rion did the research.
To be honest, it’s not even an investigation.
＜Recommended Northern Area!＞
The masked man gave a hint through a message.
“From now on, I will start running in earnest. The carriage will shake a little.”
“Yes. I am fine.”
She told me to be prepared, but I only felt a small vibration, but there was nothing uncomfortable about it.
‘There’s no way anything dangerous will happen.’
Besides, this was the papal chariot. Even a strong paladin was riding in the coachman’s seat.
Of course, there were no sudden dangers or happenings.
‘It’s boring.’
It was spread over Leon’s head, as if it were the same for the king of fairies.
‘It seems that he has regained enough strength to hide himself.’
Seeing that not only the saintess but also the paladin could not see the fairy king, it seemed that she had recovered more than expected.
The saintess felt this kind of boredom as well. While reading the Bible, she opened her mouth.
“What do you think a priest is?”
I hated this kind of Seon dialogue, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she was worried about something.
Employee management is an essential virtue of the president. It suited me to this disgusting job.
“You asked a difficult question. The story is going to be a bit long, is that okay?”
“Yes. Anything is fine.”
“At first, I thought of a priest as one who honors and preaches the will of God, thereby benefiting people.”
“At first, he said… … Do you think not now?”
Leon nodded.
“That’s right. Before concluding, let’s take an example. Oren-nim, who do you think is making the world a better place?”
“Well.”
She couldn’t answer easily because she saw Oren’s sacrifice.
“Let me ask you another question. How about His Majesty the Emperor? There are corrupt nobles, but what about the nobles? There are many people who are better than priests when it comes to benefiting the world.”
Somehow, her expression became more confused.
“After biting tail after tail like that, I recently found a plausible answer.”
“What is it?”
“Ironically, it is similar to what I first thought. A person who conveys the will of God.”
“… … .”
The expression on her face was different from what she expected, and she was disappointed.
However, it was too early to be disappointed.
“However, if there is a difference… … A priest in my opinion is one who also conveys his will to the people.”
“His… … mean? What do you mean? If done wrong, this can distort the will of God.”
“no. God’s will is like a milestone that tells us where we need to go. ‘Conveying one’s will’ in my opinion is the same as paving the way for others to follow suit.”
“… … .”
“Over time, the path will be completed with the addition of others. There will be distortions and mistakes, but eventually the meaning will become more and more complete.”
Lyon looked her in the eyes and said.
“There are many wills perfected with many denominations on this continent. We are passing that on to others.”
Priests were not simply parrots delivering God’s will.
“The will we spread will make good people and make the world a better place.”
So the important thing was not to worry about what a priest was.
“That meaning must also be in the heart of the saintess. What that means is important.”
“What if the two meanings collide?”
As expected, it was as Leon thought.
She was vacillating between a spy and a saint.
‘It’s good that you asked for a companion.’
It wasn’t just asking for a saintess. I was worried that I might have stimulated her too much while promoting as Oren, but it was as expected.
“Should we collide?”
“Iknow, right.”
“The meaning is not fixed. It can be modified and supplemented at any time. You will be able to mix the two properly.”
“Wouldn’t you allow it?”
I could feel how worried she was.
Her tone and tone were the same, but she spoke as if she were venting her emotions.
“Convince me and show me what the saintess meant. Please confirm that the meaning can be merged. You just need to show that this is not a conflict, but a complement and a correction.”
Leon didn’t give her a chance to answer.
“Then, I am sure you will say this. What you mean is really right. Allow me to embrace that will.”
Then, he immediately woke up the king of fairies by shaking his head slightly.
“Why? Is that what you asked for before boarding? Are you going to mute the sound for a moment?”
The king asked in a voice that had woken up from sleep, and Leone nodded slightly.
At that moment, the inside of the wagon shook, and the sound inside was blocked from leaking out.
Leon said softly.
“Hail Hydra.”
“ah!”
The sound blocking disappeared, and only the voice of the saintess could be heard in the carriage.
“Everything will be fine. It’s a complement, not a conflict. You will understand.”
The mind of a spy and the desire to be a pope merged into one.
It is not a conflict, but a complement and a correction.
