Chapter 306
Transportation in this world is very poor. Even trains, let alone airplanes, have just entered the development stage, and only carriages are available for transportation.

Even the carriage is used once and the price is very high. Since it was a ‘horse’ that is also used as a strategic asset, it must be expensive.
So, the week I delivered means that it is very insufficient time for people who have to cross country and country.
No matter how much teleportation there is, it can only be used in limited situations, and even it can only move between the capital and the capital.
In that sense, the period I suggested is, in other words, a period that only attracts high-ranking nobles.
However, there were a lot of nobles who came to use this opportunity to broaden their personal network, and so did the commoners.
The number of commoners is much higher, so it is natural that most of the people who come are commoners.
As a result, as many people as the exhibition were flocking to the Michelle estate, there were also some people who took this opportunity to bring their own artworks.
Instead, as it is not an official exhibition, there are no performances or plays. There are only people watching Michelle’s estate.
However, in terms of proportion, the number of nobles seemed to be higher. Nobles and commoners could be distinguished from each other because of the difference in their attire.
Of course, even this would be a small number. Because there are so many people, there will be many people staying at the inn.
Above all, the aristocrats are more interested in this event than the commoners. The reason is very simple, the commoners don’t really care who Zeno is.
To be precise, it can be seen that there is less interest, and it is largely divided into two categories.
Those who think of me as the savior of their times like Cecile or Kate, or those who only love the work itself.
It’s easy to see the difference between a fanatic and a fan, but if you look closely, it’s a single sheet of paper. Because of this, there have been reports that the two groups often quarrel with each other, and even escalate into fights.
On the other hand, nobles, unlike commoners, cannot remain pure fans. From the moment you get involved with me, you will not only get caught up in all kinds of gossip, but you will also gain strength from it.
It will be easier to understand if you see Arwen and Musk without going far. Both of them are having a difficult life just because they are related to Xenon.
The reason why there are so many nobility in this event is mostly for political reasons. Even if you say that the world is a saint or that you are a character chosen by God, you are still a human being.
Some people will come to pick up Congo water, and others will come for pure purposes.
You can see how much influence the name Xenon has on the world.
“Hello. Isaac. How have you been?”
“Oh, Mr. Kate.”
The waiting room of the concert hall where the event is to be held. I was nervous about the scheduled time approaching minute by minute, and I was faced with a familiar face.
Kate will be playing a very important role today. She was wearing a white nunnery, as usual, and was greeted with a friendly smile.
The waiting room was filled with bright light thanks to the magic and technology of the demons. But it couldn’t be compared to Kate’s hair, reminiscent of a golden wheat field.
“Did Luminus really give you permission?”
“Yes. Luminus-sama said that if it was Isaac-sama’s request, he would gladly do it.”
Kate nodded her head to my question and gave a satisfactory answer. This is why Kate is so important today.

Even if I stand on stage and reveal my identity, will people really believe me? I don’t think so.
You’re probably thinking that Xenon has a spokesperson. To anyone other than the Teres royal family, this event is too absurd.
But it’s a different story if Kate guarantees it herself. Kate’s rank is a cardinal, and she is currently wielding a powerful influence within the Savior.
If Kate puts her mind to it, she might be able to temporarily declare the venue as God’s realm.
“But is it really possible? Proclamation of sanctuary, even temporarily?”
I asked out of curiosity. It sounds really easy, but if you think about it with common sense, Kate replied that the nonsense is possible.
In the first place, there is no place other than the temple where God can directly exert influence.
“I can.”
“How much?”
“Other places are 10 minutes. Here, it can take about 30 minutes. Unlike other places, this estate is a place where there are two gods.”
But Kate answered as if it was no big deal. Once again, I think I can see how great her abilities are, and why she was blessed by God.
Although common sense is wrong in the strange part, that’s probably why he has a firm belief in Luminus.
‘You should put it in a book.’
A technique that suits Lily, who is called a saint, very well. Unlike other technologies, it can be used in real life, so no one will object to it.
Moreover, the moment the sanctuary is declared, God is watching directly, so no one will commit any evil deeds.
This is the reason why I am able to stand on stage proudly. Moreover, now I even have the defensive magic that Cecily casted on me.
You can’t fool the eyes of the gods, but it means that even if a demon worshiper somehow gets in and attacks you, you’ll be fine.
“By the way, Sir Isaac.”
“Yeah?”
“Are you really going to wear those clothes?”
Kate asks me with a questioning expression on her face. I listened to her question and checked my attire.
As if my mindless selection of clothes was insignificant, my current attire is very simple.
A red robe that is not too plain, let alone a dazzling decoration. Even shirts are readily available in the market.
To put it bluntly, it’s a stylish outfit, but in the eyes of the people here, especially the nobles, there’s nothing fancy about it.
Actually, when I insisted on wearing this, I remember the women reluctantly dissuaded me.
“Yeah. People came to see me anyway, not clothes? That’s enough for me.”
“Isaac-nim is a frugal man.”
“If it’s good, it’s frugal, and if it’s bad, it’s not aristocratic and you just don’t know how to spend your money.”
I hear a lot of people say that Kate is frugal, but she doesn’t really know how to spend her money.
If you were to spend money, how many more manuscript papers would you have? Even the magic pen and typewriter were given as gifts, so there is no place for the money to go.
When giving gifts to loved ones, it is a bit expensive, but not a lot.
“Kate, do you prefer frugal people?”
“I like someone who, like Isaac, spreads light into the world.”
“Haha. You’re painting my face with gold.”
“It’s not gold, it’s a fact. So when will you give me the seeds of light?”
“·······”
“I’ll be waiting for you anytime.”
Haven’t you given up yet? I coughed up after hearing Kate’s young words of determination.
“Hmm. Hmm. By the way, Mr. Kate. Have you been busy lately?”
“What do you mean?”
“He… has a scar on his face.”
In order to change the topic, I mentioned the part that I was worried about before. A sharp scratch on Kate’s cheek.
I don’t know if it was the beast or if I scratched it myself, but a pretty severe wound was stamped like a stamp.
The scar was even more conspicuous because it was Kate’s skin that had no blemishes.
It was a topic that I didn’t bring up because I was afraid the situation would become awkward, but I mentioned it because I had to move on like this.
“Ah… this is…”
As soon as I ask a question, Kate gives a bewildered expression and then gently covers the scar on her cheek with her hand.
No matter how fanatical she is, Kate is a woman, so she seems reluctant to have a scar on her face.
But it’s weird. Kate would be able to heal a wound like that right away, so why did she leave it alone?
After all, she is the Grand Inquisitor. A priest with the duty to directly kill demon worshipers along with heretics.
The fact that Kate had such a horrific scar on her must mean that something dangerous had happened, so I couldn’t help it without worrying about it.
“…Isaac-sama.”
“Yes, Mr. Kate.”
“Excuse me, could you lend me a hand?”
After hesitating for a while to speak, Kate cautiously suggested. Blue eyes are filled with feelings similar to longing.
I was skeptical as I saw the reaction, but for a while I lent her hand as she wanted.
When I lent my hand, Kate groped my hand as if she was handling a craft, then grabbed me tightly.
shaa-
A golden glow that started to appear as soon as they held hands. It feels warm and sacred at the same time.
A divine power that can only be expressed by priests. That divine power is now beginning to vibrate in my hand.
“…Isaac-sama.”
“Please speak.”
“Can you now stroke my wounds with those hands?”
Kate who asked me in a strange situation. I lifted her head and met her face.
He seemed nervous about something, and his expression seemed to beg. It was an expression that could not be denied, and there was no reason to deny it.
At this, I reached out and touched Kate’s cheek with a trembling hand. I hesitated a bit along the way, but it was literally just a moment.
Then, as she reached for her hand, Kate slowly closed her eyes and began to enjoy the touch.
shaa-
As soon as you put your hand on your cheek, to your surprise, the scar on your cheek begins to disappear. It returns to the original skin without leaving even a scar.

Even though I knew that divine power had a healing effect, it was the first time I had encountered it in person, so I couldn’t help but admire it.
“ha···”
“…is it over?”
Before long, when all the wounds had healed, Kate let out a groan of joy. I asked quietly in a subtle atmosphere.
Then Kate gently grabbed my hand on my cheek and slowly opened her eyes. When he opened his eyes, his moist blue eyes lit up.
“Thank you. Isaac.”
“What did I do…”
“No. This feeling of being washed away.”
Then she said in a sweetly wet voice.
“Only Isaac-nim could do this. Thank you so much.”
“·······”
It feels like something strange is switched on.
*****
As the scheduled time approached, the venue began to fill with people. Not only those who have already been seated, but also those who are trying to find a seat somehow.
All of these people came to check who Xenon was. As many people from all over the world came to the exhibition as much as the last exhibition, there are many things to pay attention to.
If it had been a space like a social church rather than a performance hall where people were seated, the feeling of crowding would have been stronger.
The reason why the concert hall was chosen as the presentation room is because there is no need to bother around and just sit down and you are done.
“Did you deliberately give me only a week? Rumors will spread quickly anyway.”
Leort made an opinion while looking at the stage where Zeno’s identity would be revealed in the future.
Originally, it was normal for such a large-scale event to be held for at least a month, but for some reason, the duration was very short.
The time it takes for the news to spread around the world must also be taken into account. As such, the time of a week is tight except for high-ranking nobles.
“Isn’t that the message that only people who are coming should come? If we increase the time here, there will be more people.”
Lina, who was sitting next to Leort’s words, offered an opinion. Leort nodded her head as if her opinion made sense.
In fact, Isaac was taken for a week without much thought, but they do not know at all.
“By the way, Lina. Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine, brother. You don’t have a bad personality and you have a great appearance, right?”
“It doesn’t matter if we just match the assortment under mutual agreement…”
The story the two siblings share is roughly expected, but it is an arranged marriage. The moment Isaac reveals her identity, Lina has no choice but to get married by arrangement.
Although Isaac is engaged to Marie, the imperial family will also have to make a ‘gift’.
But if you do, your relationship will be twisted. Externally, it is normal for Lina to be chastity, but in reality, Marie is chastity.
Of course, considering Zeno’s status, it should be tailored to his liking, but people’s hearts are not so easy.
“I’ll tell you sister and sister, but I’m fine. Besides, I’ve been thinking about it since the beginning, so I don’t even think about it anymore. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to just think that I went to a good guy?”
“If that’s what you think, I won’t say it, but the relationship between a man and a woman…”
“Okay. Before you say that, wouldn’t it be better to think about your brother first?
Lina’s counterattack made Leorth laugh bitterly as if there was nothing to say. In fact, as she said, you need to find a partner right away.
Originally, Princess Hiriya was a candidate, but as we all know, it ended the moment Isaac slapped him on the cheek.
Since then, I’ve been looking around the country and abroad to find a suitable bride, but it’s not as easy as it sounds.
“And if you’re going to do it, you’d better do it before I get married, or your eyes will be so high that it’s hard to even find a candidate.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll find out on my own, so stop scratching.”
If Lina gets married first, her brother-in-law is Xenon. Under these conditions, who would be willing to make a proposal?
Leorth bit Lina, scratching her insides, and looked around. Almost all of them are familiar faces, but a few are different.
In particular, the Descal who is the king of Helium and called the ‘Demon King’ in the world. Currently, Descal is seated alongside his queen, Aesilia.
The same goes for Cecily. Perhaps because Isaac is not there, Cecily is also sitting with them and talking honestly.
‘I’m going to talk about it for a while.’
Leort also knows through Lina that Cecily is dating Isaac. And it will come back later as a big storm.
Other than that, the Kingdom of Teres is the same. From the perspective of the Minerva Empire, it is a good thing that the Kingdom of Teres self-destructed, but after that it is a problem.
Once the storm passes, there is only silence, but the storm that will come this time is not just a storm.
‘First, I’ll have to organize a bodyguard.’
Leorth was about to grasp Isaac’s bodyguards step by step in his head.
“Huh? Who is that person?”
“Who came up on stage?”
“no way?”
The murmurs of people coming in one after another. Leorth quickly moved his gaze towards the stage.
As I moved my gaze, a man with red hair fluttering and walking proudly caught my eye.
It’s finally starting. As soon as Leort saw the man, he began to concentrate with a smile of anticipation.
Meanwhile, Isaac, a young red-haired young man, stood proudly in the center of the stage and faced the people.
“·······”
As soon as Isaac stood up proudly, the murmur quickly subsided.
As the murmur subsided, Isaac took one light glance and coughed to clear his throat.
“Hi everyone.”
And very quiet.
“My name is Isaac Ducker Michelle.”
in a calm voice.
“I am Xenon, the author of Xenon’s biography.”
Dropped a bomb from the start.
