Episode. 21 Songs of Knights and Elves (1)
“Rapture… … .”
I was speechless.
There’s no way that guy would become a believer.
That mindless orc is better than Aaron or Leo.
Look at that. Aren’t you an idiot whose facial muscles have become sore from being distracted by Mary?
“Write. What though.”
It doesn’t cost money to check.
He stretched out his hand to the red pig and shouted.
“Appointment of Shinto!”
『Rapture has become a believer.』
“… … .”
three seconds.
The outstretched hand stopped for exactly three seconds.
“Kwyik, Mary Sozer!”
Rapture was busy doing the shoulder dance without even knowing that I had become a believer.
Why?
Why the hell did that pig become a believer?
How earnestly did you pray… … .
『Listen to the contents of the rapture prayer.』
– Chwiiik! My honey, my fiancé! I don’t know who the ‘him’ of this song is, but please stay with us! Then I’ll give you my all!
“Wuck.”
Words of courtship that made me vomit came to mind before my eyes.
This wasn’t a prayer, it was like a love letter.
But, ironically, the desire contained in it was stronger than any of them.
Of course, it is not at all that the prayers of others are feeble.
‘Is it because it’s an oak?’
Orcs are a brave race.
However, they are not the ones who make rules or formalities for themselves.
Very simple warriors who love to fight and worship the strong.
Its primitive and linear disposition did not measure this and that like humans.
As much as that, he must have been able to put his wish in prayer.
“He’s a funny guy. really.”
Laughter came out.
Could Rapture be the first among the knights to become a follower?
No, it’s questionable whether it’s okay to treat this guy as a knight.
match!
I walked to the center of the clearing and clapped my hands loudly to draw attention.
Only then did the people who recognized me greeted me in amazement.
“hmm.”
The faces of the knights who sang happily were recalled to the fullest.
From noble mtl dot com
Among them, the smart ones were looking down at my body.
Perhaps the vitality in your body feels unfamiliar.
“Chwiik! Why are you staring at me so intently?”
Rapture just tilted his head.
Even though he must have become a believer and have the most energy.
“no. More than that, Sir Leo, Aaron.”
“ancient!”
The two growled at my call and answered at the same time.
The reaction was more than usual, and more burdensome than usual.
Also, something is strange.
“You guys are not yet disciplined enough to become believers.”
Who comes first? You should have prayed hard instead of arguing with Manet.
Looking at the two men with shocked faces, I clicked my tongue.
Then he turned his head and met Mary’s eyes.
nod
She nodded with a determined face and handed me something.
“Here it is. saint.”
A rod with a twisted cloth wrapped around it.
I took it and unwrapped the cloth.
flutter –
A gust of wind blew the cloth from the end of the pole.
Merry and the followers did not just distribute rice balls here.
They prepared for evangelism with great enthusiasm, such as making evangelism plans and composing songs.
“This is our symbol.”
I looked at the flag in my hand.
The pattern drawn on the pure white collar was neither Battenberg’s ‘The Greatest Sword’ nor the samurai union.
The symbol of Horrism, made by my prophets while awake.
On the collar, there was a picture of the sword star I was handling.
Coincidentally, its appearance reminded me of some modern religion.
thud!
I slammed the flag down with the momentum to drive it into the ground.
The devotees stood behind him and reverently joined their hands.
“Brother Richard?”
The knights widened their eyes at the sudden performance.
It wasn’t the situation I intended, but there was no better opportunity than now.
It was right after everyone here had said their prayers.
“From now on, don’t call me a young boy.”
A voice mixed with faith came out of my mouth.
Five preachers with good sense spread their halos at the same time.
ugh-
Not to be outdone, I also turned on the halo and put ten thousand faith in the flag.
Saliva dries up in your mouth.
I finally got to say a few words that I had been repeating over and over again.
“I am the lamp in which he holds.”
“Ahh-!”
thud! thud!
Thirty-year-old followers stomped their feet in harmony.
“And I shall be the saint whom He deals with.”
The sound of footsteps grew louder.
Correspondingly, he mixed more faith into his voice.
“I came to this land with a great revelation.”
“Come!”
“Listen, you nightmare sheep.”
“Listen!”
He continued talking to the knights who were staring at him blankly.
“He will save you.”
“You will save many more.”
“God will feed on the faith of the sheep, and the sheep will use the faith as a milestone.”
“Believe and pray.”
As soon as the words were finished, the believers knelt down and prayed.
I looked around the crowd calmly, and saw Adele, who turned her head and covered her mouth.
okay. I know.
How cheesy and ridiculous this is now.
He is a saint and a great revelation, because everything was Gura.
“I believe.”
“I believe!”
Aaron, who had matched the words in advance, stood in front of me and shouted, and Leo followed up belatedly.
Then the knights’ eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
It didn’t end there.
“I believe, no! I believe! Give me a light too!”
“Chwiik. If there really is a god called Hor, won’t he grant my wish? I have to believe this!”
Moritz, who had hurriedly ran over, threw himself on his stomach and shouted, and Rapture approached with a big smile.
Union’s expression as he watched the scene took on a strange light.
There will be quite a bit of conflict.
They valued their martial arts and beliefs as knights.
Now that the existence of God has disappeared without a trace, religion was nothing more than a weakling or a superstition to believe in.
But what if the commander who leads them believes?
Also, what if a believer appears among them?
Wasn’t he already tired of Magi?
The faith that Yeonhap tasted showed off a strong presence that could never be dismissed as superstition.
“From now on, we will hold a prayer ceremony at 12 o’clock in the afternoon. Please note that non-participation is not permitted.”
They were the ones who prayed without even realizing it.
Once is difficult, twice is difficult.
“I will give you a sip of holy water to those who become believers.”
A follower quickly brought a glass bottle and a wooden cup.
It was a sip-sized cup made of holy water containing a thousand faiths and Adele’s wood.
Aaron and Leo’s eyes flashed.
Both looked confident that they would drink first.
I looked at the two and opened my mouth.
“Rapture. Come and see.”
“Chwik?”
shiver-
I poured holy water into a wooden cup.
“Don’t you feel a lot of vitality in your body?”
“uh… … Come to think of it, I feel as if I ate a lot of good quality meat. Ever since I sang earlier.”
He nodded and held out his glass.
Aaron and Leo, who had been staring at each other blankly, made angry faces.
“Congratulations. You became the first member of the association.”
“Cuckoo, quick? I mean?”
“okay. I felt no hesitation in your prayers. It was really primitive and desperate.”
Ugh, I put my mouth on Rapture’s ear.
“You want to connect with Mary? Hor has listened well, but your faithfulness is still lacking.”
“That, that, then, if you pray harder… … ?”
“You never know. But don’t forget that Mary is also a person. I’m saying don’t push too hard. Wait calmly for her to open up and pray.”
He patted him on the shoulder and handed him a glass.
“drink. It is the first cup of glory.”
“Chwi profit… … .”
However, Rapture only looked down at the cup and tasted it, but did not bring it to his mouth.
“what’s the matter?”
“What is the effect of this water?”
it’s efficacy
Actually I don’t know either.
I had never drank holy water containing a thousand of my faith, and I didn’t even need to drink it.
“You will receive the grace of God. As much as the blessing contained in this water. Hor will accompany your steps.”
“Chwik, I don’t understand if you talk about it round and round.”
“In a word, good. Both in the body and in the mind.”
After hearing the answer, Rapture raised the corners of his mouth and showed off his yellow teeth.
Then, he soon moved on.
“Mary Sojour.”
“Huh, Mr. Rapture?”
Rapture’s voice became very deep.
The cup held out between her thick red fingers was held out to Mary.
“Chwiik, I think you need it more than me.”
“It’s not possible! This is the grace that Hor gave to Rapture… … !”
Mary waved her hand in amazement.
I looked at it and opened my mouth.
“merry. It’s okay if you drink. What is he going to give you?”
I was thinking of giving holy water to the existing believers anyway.
However, it was quite surprising that an orc, synonymous with greed, would yield his possessions to others.
“hehehe, my arm will fall off.”
“Hugger… … .”
With tears in her eyes, she took the glass.
Soon, he carefully brought a sip of holy water to his mouth.
gulp.
A small thumping sound was unusually loud.
“Ahh!”
A halo erupted from the trembling Mary.
Perhaps it was the effect of the holy water, the light was brighter than usual.
“Broken… … No, saint. Second, please accept me as a follower!”
“Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for me, the commander, to be first?”
The two men who had been deprived of first place quickly raised their voices.
It made me happy, but on the other hand, I still couldn’t understand it.
Because both Aaron and Leo were particularly skeptical of God.
No matter how many times I prayed, people changed so much.
But those two weren’t the end.
“Saint. Do you believe in and serve God?”
The 3rd Knight Commander, Polk, asked me.
I said yes.
“Let me ask you one more question. Do you want us to become followers of that religion?”
“okay.”
Then his eyes changed.
Not just Polk, but the eyes of the 3rd Knights and some of the other knights.
“All right.”
Why?
They patted his chest with a firm expression.
◈ ◈ ◈
To go to Rio Castle, you have to pass the Baren Royal Road.
However, the gates of the royal capital were firmly closed.
“Please let it pass.”
“I cannot let you go, whose identities are unknown.”
The guard holding the spear widened his eyes.
“Take off your mask and reveal your true identity! If you don’t, you will face a hard interrogation.”
A group of masked men took a bewildered attitude.
“I can’t take off the mask for some reason… … We are called by a man named Richard Battenberg.”
“therefore! Prove that!”
A very good guard-
The one who stood at the head of the group of masks exclaimed admiration inwardly.
But for now, the situation has been difficult.
‘Surely, my mother said that I could reveal this name… … .’
Far from being anything, only the eyes of suspicion deepened.
Now, he was ready to bring out the spear in his hand.
What should I do?
It’s easy to put them to sleep with magic, but I didn’t want to do that to a guard who did his job properly.
Perhaps they felt a sense of kinship with those who did similar karma.
It was a time when the masked beings were forming an inner conflict.
From noble mtl dot com
“Did you just say Richard?”
“… … !”
A voice came from behind.
When I turned my head and looked, there was an elderly man standing there.
“Are you asking? Did you say Richard?”
“… … That’s right.”
The old man, who did not know where he came from, stared at them.
sniff-
He suddenly twitched his nose.
“like… … The smell of grass vibrates, but my student must have surprisingly wide feet.”
Balak, an old man carrying his luggage, grinned in interest.
