How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 672

672 - Fire and Blacksmith (4)

672 – Fire and Blacksmith (4)

There is no interrogation room in the temple of Myshal’s estate. Therefore, the sage is located in the temple of the capital of the Minerva Empire, not in the Myshal domain.

I was scolded by Marie about where I was going, but I got over it with one kiss. Thanks to this, the road to the capital was not difficult.

But it was strange because it was the first time I went to the interrogation room. Even in her previous life, she never went to the police station, but this life is different.

Because of the conflict between Adelia and Hiriya, I have been to the court before the king, but this time I go to the interrogation room.

“The interrogation room is in the basement, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Hmm…”

First of all, just being underground sparked my imagination. Most of the images of interrogation rooms related to religion are closely related to ‘torture’.

Why, isn’t there such a thing? Like beating a heretic on a chain with a whip or giving them brainwashing training.

Devil worshipers were not physically able to lift their feet, so such misunderstandings were bound to accumulate.

It wouldn’t hurt to clear up that misunderstanding at this point. First, you need to know the history.

“Mr. Kate. You were the Grand Inquisitor even before you began to subdue the devil worshipers in earnest, right?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes, it is.”

“Who were the Inquisitors on their side to judge before the devil worshipers surfaced?”

At least the Heretic Questioner in my imagination is like this.

He who does not believe in religion is a heretic. So convert (defeat) him or die.

Even if it’s a grandiose delusion, there is a history that Savior was once like that. He is in the days when he was caught up in madness and was on a witch hunt.

Now, even if the airflow has changed a lot, it is not necessarily the case when looking at the example of Kate before the Holy Cup. It is true that it is scary.

“If you don’t believe in Luminus-sama, you will be recklessly punished or something like that…”

“It’s not that much. Criticizing God, more precisely, criticizing doctrine itself is condoned. Rather, it tends to lend a helping hand.”

“A helping hand?”

“Yes. Ninety-five percent of those who criticize God are people with poor or unfortunate pasts. Those people usually head to the interrogation room for counseling. Recently, I tend to collaborate with the Mora Church.”

In the past, I would have tortured them saying ‘You’re a cult’, but I felt strongly that they had definitely changed.

Anyway, it seems that such a misunderstanding was born because the memory of the previous life and the historical prejudice were combined.

“In the distant past, they were judged as heretics without any hesitation, but not now. They are helping those who belong to the blind spot, where Luminus-sama can’t reach. Since then, the air current has been stronger.”

“Come to think of it, Laura, how is she doing now?”

“Yes. Luminus-nim himself gave me light, and furthermore, I am receiving education steadily. I hope you become my successor as soon as possible.”

Looking at the bright smile on her face, it seems that Laura is growing rapidly. Instead, it takes a little bit of education.

As we’ve seen before, the education Kate talked about is somewhat radical. The only ones who can commit violence are devil worshipers and monsters or something.

Since a priest in a cartoon came to mind, he has no choice but to worry. You’ll do fine, though.

“Then what’s the other 10%?”

“Those who are drunk or have mental defects, as well as felons and devil worshipers. In the case of drunkards, they tend to come to their senses if they are imprisoned for a short time, and those who are insane are handed over to the Church of Mora. Violent criminals and devil worshippers… I believe you will know even if you don’t tell me.”

Why is it that a smiling face feels scary? I didn’t know that a devil worshiper would be in charge of even a heinous criminal.

Sometimes I heard that in a previous life, I taught religion to death row inmates or equivalent criminals.

If you sincerely repent, you will be forgiven by God later. It seems similar to that.

“Would you like to meet Ruminus before going to the interrogation room?”

“Then excuse me.”

There are many things to ask Luminous at the right time. From Dalos, the god of fire and blacksmiths, to the sage and the earth god.

The information I got from Mora is far from enough. Exiled from her dimension, her limits were clear.

So she went into her private chapel that Kate had prepared for her and quietly knelt down on her knees.

Then she quietly closed her eyes and slowly opened them.

“Are you here?”

In addition to the pure white space, Luminous, a muscular handsome man, welcomed us. A bright smile is very burdensome.

It’s not empty words, it’s a bright smile that’s really burdensome. It’s like an expression full of dissatisfaction.

Originally, I tend to laugh a lot, but I felt a bit artificial about it.

“······Luminus-sama?”

“Tell me.”

“Are you mad?”

Sometimes, there are people who just smile without speaking when their anger goes all the way. Luminous seems to be that type.

Ruminus listened to my question and smiled for a while, then let out a deep sigh. Then he twisted her face into a savagery.

Her usual calm face is gone, and she has a somewhat bloody look. Can the atmosphere change like this with just one facial expression?

“I can’t help but be angry. Wouldn’t you be angry if I was like you?”

“That… I understand. You must be angry because the table is overturned.”

“That’s true, but I’m angry that Mora twisted her fate on her own. Imagine if you went without getting a healthy body. If that happened, the world would be over.”

“Mora Mora isn’t an idiot, and she didn’t expect that?”

“That’s true, but…”

Luminous is not able to rationally judge whether it was really regretful that the table was overturned. It’s clear when you look at her head as if it’s complicated.

It seems that the dining table was not an ordinary table. I asked this out of curiosity.

“I know that Lord Luminus contemplates war. But the essence of Lord Luminus is light. Isn’t war given by mortals?”

“It was given by the gods. And…”

Luminous was about to say something, but in the middle of it, he blurted out his words. He looks a little worried.

Anyway, it seems to be related to the past, so it would be better to pass it on. Ruminus may have had similar thoughts, but passed the topic.

“This isn’t the important thing. You might think it’s just the level of overturning the table, but it’s far beyond that. From a human point of view, it’s like someone snatched a special meal that I’ve been waiting for for years and ate it in the middle. That’s right in front of my eyes. .”

“You didn’t overturn the table, you stole it.”

“Yes. But even the way he stole it makes me angry. Wouldn’t he know if he ate it himself? He tricked an innocent sheep into his mouth. What can I do then? I open my eyes and cut my nose on Earth.” I heard there is a proverb that says, “It’s just that shape.”

It’s the first time I’ve seen Luminous talk so much. How the hell do you complain about how angry and frustrated you are?

He thought he hated war because he destroyed a world with war. But it’s war, it’s Nabal, and I’m angry because of Mora’s ways.

Of course, it has already passed and will never return. What’s more, they killed two birds with one stone, as they also arrested a high-ranking official of the devil worshipers.

I spoke in a soothing tone to Luminous, who still seemed to be angry.

“But the results are good. Please look at my face and bear with it.”

“I wanted to demote him to a saint, but my mother stopped me and I ended up expelling him.”

“Are you authorized to do that?”

“··· ···”

When I pointed it out, Luminous shut his mouth tightly. He must have made a slip of the tongue, probably because he was still angry.

Somehow, I guessed to some extent that just because they expelled Mora, they weren’t on the same level. However, this mistake convinced me.

Luminus might already have the authority equivalent to that of the supreme god. In fact, it was a preordained result from the time he killed the father of all things himself.

“You’re sitting in front of an empty throne and dominating it.”

“······That’s an accurate metaphor.”

“Then you know what I’m up to?”

Luminous nodded heavily. Unlike Mora, he still belongs to the observer’s plane.

It means that he knows what Mora and I talked about and what plans I have.

However, even though Luminus could sit in the seat of the supreme god, he did not. Something is not enough to be simply because of guilt.

“What do you think is lacking? Committing immorality? It’s enough to mix it up with myths. The world I lived in was like that too.”

“······I’m sorry to the believers who firmly believe in me. Everyone knows that immorality is a sin. But the supreme god committed immorality, and I wonder if there will be great confusion.”

“As long as you know it’s wrong, it’s fine. There’s a good reason for that.”

I think I know what Luminus is concerned about. They are worried that if they do not do so, the faith of the believers will be greatly shaken.

A contradiction in explaining that the person himself had made a big mistake and that it was a sin. Luminous is afraid of it.

This can be said to be the attitude of a true parent. The reality is that there are not only people who do not realize their faults, but even gods.

Hasn’t even the father of all things not realized his own wrongdoing, so he has not gone far? Luminous is a great teacher on the other hand.

“Are you afraid? Because you can’t see the future affected by me.”

“······Actually, that’s what I’m most afraid of.”

After answering honestly, Luminous raised his head. Although there is only pure white space, it is as if you are looking up at the sky.

“You have influenced countless futures. But now that it even affects me… I am afraid of you.”

“··· ···”

“This may affect you as well as me. The invisible future me may do something to you. Of course the earth gods will stop it…”

Luminous paused for a moment, then spoke as if emphasizing.

“This is a future that not even God knows. Remember that. No one will know what lies ahead.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Accept whatever comes out. Instead, both of us bear the responsibility. The best may come out, but remember that the worst may come. It might happen.”

As Ruminus said, this is a problem that could lead to religious disputes. It means that it is not a simple situation to think about.

This means that rapid adjustment is necessary. Moreover, a certain ‘legitimacy’ must be given to Luminus, and the most important ‘Atonement’ is also necessary.

‘It’s a pity that there is a suitable story…’

If I made a mistake, the worst result would have come. As Luminus said, this is an issue that the world itself affects.

After resolving to be careful several times, I asked Luminous a question.

“I will carefully write about the work. Then, the next question is…”

“You mean Dalos, right?”

“Yes. I wonder what kind of god Dalos was.”

Considering that he was the god of fire and blacksmithing, it is assumed that he is a god of a fairly high rank. It is clear that ‘fire’ is one of the parts of nature.

As expected. Ruminus made a vague expression on his face and quietly opened his mouth.

“He was my son.”

“I see… Yes?”

An answer beyond imagination came out of his mouth. That Dalos, the god of fire and blacksmithing, was the son of Luminus.

Having a son means having a wife as well. I couldn’t believe it and looked at Luminus.

Luminous smiled bitterly at him and then quietly opened his mouth.

“There is nothing more bitter than seeing the descendants of the people who believed in my son threaten me.”

The wise man was really a 10-year-old.
