Episode. Episode 27: Holy Son of Horgyo (3)
“He is dangerous!”
As soon as Richard left, opposition broke out like a flood.
“I need to send a letter to Battenberg right now to inform them that Richard and his party will be treated as honored guests. Never accept support!”
It’s a completely different look from the admiration and praise just a moment ago.
In particular, the opposition of Marquis Trantis was the strongest.
Controversy erupted against him.
From the fact that he needs at least the support of Rio Castle, to the fact that Baren desperately needs his help.
Marquis Trantis sneered at the worried voice.
“I am Richard, who was once called the dead servant. Now, even though his mind has changed, he is someone who cannot be trusted. Haven’t you been kicked out of my family now!”
“I don’t know if I was kicked out or if I stepped out on my own.”
“Do you think that Battenberg would have stood still while shouting out godlike nonsense? Richard must have been kicked out.”
A few nobles frowned at the fierce criticism of the Marquis of Trantis.
In any case, he thought that he was exaggerating his words and actions toward the hero of Rio Castle who came to help the staggering kingdom.
But they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
The Marquis’ words were harsh, but it was because it was a sensitive issue even from Baren’s point of view.
The boy who was kicked out of Battenberg.
Among the countries nestled in the North Continent, there would be no place that would not be embarrassed by him.
If the mere presence of Richard here might alienate Battenberg, much less accepting that it was the religion that was presumed to be the culprit behind his expulsion.
If he made a mistake, it was likely that he would pretend to be with Battenberg and agree with Richard.
“Didn’t Marquis Trantis also see Richard-sama’s light? He has the power to drive out demons!”
A nobleman stood up with an objection.
The political situation was put aside first, and the idea was to resolve Baren’s dark clouds first.
“Battenberg is far away, and Richard is here. There are no other good alternatives… … .”
“That is the problem!”
An aristocrat with a gigantic body like a bandit raised his voice and cut off his words.
“Surely he has the opposite powers of demons. However, there is power but no trust. If he does not use his powers correctly, then he will be out of control!”
What Richard needed to share the light was neither money nor treasure.
Essentially, emotions.
Among them, he said that he needed the most valuable ‘faith’.
“It’s just another evil that is aiming for a gap in the kingdom’s darkness. Rio Castle fell for his cunning instigation!”
“I agree. As much as the country is at stake, we are in a position to be constantly suspicious.”
There is no such thing as a god, and the Horcules are a group created by Richard to deify his power-
Opponents argued so.
He even said that the knights of Rio Castle had fallen for mere agitation.
The pro-choice aristocrats who could not stand it widened their eyes.
“A knight’s eye is as precise as it is straight. There must be a clear reason why the Rio Castle troops praise Richard-sama as a hero.”
“The devil is spreading all over the continent, and he is suffering from a disease. As Count Ord, the lord of Rio Castle, said, he is the lamp that guides the light.”
This may be an opportunity, an opportunity to preoccupy ‘light’.
After receiving Richard’s help, most of the people speaking were young nobles.
“And if you are right, Rio Castle is already deteriorating. Can you tell them not to believe in God?”
This time the opposition nobles kept their mouths shut.
From noble mtl dot com
Should we say that the discussion itself has become meaningless?
As long as Baren’s main force, Rio Castle, was in such a state, Baren was already stepping up to Richard’s will.
thud!
Someone knocked down the round table.
The gaze of the nobles was directed to one side.
“In the current situation, I need Richard’s light.”
These were the words of the king, who had been silent until now.
The nobles lowered their heads at the dizzying eyes.
“Battenberg’s notice is not a problem that will come to the fore now. Whether or not God exists is not important.”
The most important thing right now is that only Richard can sustain the crumbling Baren.
“One, Prince Richard demands the trust of the people. Since ancient times, faith is never light. It is enough to threaten the kingship under the name of faith.”
The opposition’s concerns were wild but valid.
It was by no means an easy decision for the king.
It was self-evident that it would cause a great change in Baren, which had been written down for hundreds of years.
But the kingdom is already half collapsed.
It was impossible to just watch the fall of the country while trying to protect the kingship.
“As the state of affairs is the state of affairs, we will have to maintain a special relationship with Prince Richard.”
“Lungs, Your Highness… … !”
The nobles were agitated.
“It will wreak havoc on national law and politics! The foundations of the country will be shaken to its core!”
It was the Marquis of Trantis who took up the gun barrel.
Even so, the king’s determined expression did not change.
“I have no intention of leaving my luggage alone.”
“if… … .”
“With the help of Prince Richard, the royal family will be the one who spreads religion among the people.”
When the people’s faith and trust are focused on external forces, it will soon bring about a decline in the king’s authority.
However, the story was a little different when the royal family directly accepted newspaper articles and led change.
“I need to revise the national law. Do not let the people forget that there is a country and there is a religion.”
The nobles bowed their heads at the appearance of the king, whose old reputation as a wise king was rising.
“If you do, who will evangelize… … .”
Marquis Trantis asked.
“Lord Richard’s light is beyond brilliant. Even in the face of such deadly force, those who will not distort their loyalty to the kingdom… … .”
The king’s gaze turned to the opposing nobles.
gulp. The sound of spitting was unusually loud.
“You guys do evangelism yourself.”
The nobles shut their mouths at the gaze that they would not allow opposition.
With those words, the royal meeting ended.
In particular, nobles, including the dead Marquis of Trantis, rushed out.
The conference room left alone.
The King leaned back in his chair.
He looked like someone who chose the lesser evil instead of the worst.
There is such a thing as flow.
The fact that Richard had the power to drive away demons was the same as having a great influence wherever he went.
“Has the time of revolution come?”
The knights of Rio Castle came to mind in the king’s mind.
After the war with the undead was over, the expressions of the knights at Rio Castle were truly surprising.
A face full of admiration and pride, a face that he would die to boast about.
To that extent, the prestige of religion that Richard proclaimed must be great.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Right. It should be.”
I have stopped shinning.
The meeting of the royal family secretly spied on was truly genuine.
The aristocrats who used to gather information in front of me with one color of praise suddenly changed in an instant and disputed the argument.
“It’s strong.”
Satisfaction came.
The appearance of the opposing aristocrat who never stopped gossiping about me only made me look smart.
Because there was nothing wrong with them.
Like it or not, my influence will only grow as Horism spreads throughout the kingdom of Baren.
In addition, it was natural to look at Battenberg.
No matter how difficult the kingdom is, problems that can never be left unattended.
Rather, it seemed that he would have been disappointed if he had sought help.
What I want is not a puppet royal family, but a business partner to help each other.
“I also quite like the plan the king came up with.”
They say they will evangelize on their own.
It couldn’t have been better than this to replace the troublesome and cumbersome work.
Are you really not a partner?
authority?
A plan to devour the kingdom of Baren?
I don’t even have a desire for anything like that.
If he wanted power, he would never have left Battenberg.
I sat on the bed in the VIP room.
Did you say Marquis of Trantis?
“Anyway, I heard you curse at me quite a lot.”
I had no intention of revenge.
We’ll be good friends in the future.
It was time to think about how to educate the aristocrats who had been recruited to convey the faith of Baren, or should they be called missionaries of Baren.
A long wooden box came into my eyes.
Leo, who gave this to me, probably didn’t know.
If it wasn’t for that, I would have been prying around with curious eyes.
How the hell are you going to use this heinous thing?
“hmm.”
how to write
write well
He nodded in response and opened the wooden box.
Unlike the neat wooden box on the outside, the inside was covered with strange patterns.
and its center.
The pure white sword reflected the light.
– Shiiyiyiik!
For a subject other than Magi, an unmatched energy shook the VIP room.
hard.
The window shuddered and shattered.
“Noisy.”
I grabbed the handle and spilled a lot of faith into it.
Then the grotesque cries gradually subsided.
Instead, numerous shapes passed by on the pure white black surface.
The worst sword forged by a cursed human blacksmith with countless blood.
“A ghost sword, a hundred ghosts.”
A cursed object that should never appear was in my hand.
It was a famous anecdote that a long time ago, the former head of Battenberg killed a witch sword user and decided to keep the wicked sword in the family.
It’s a sword with a lot of history.
– help me… … !
A human figure covered in blood was drawn on the white blade, but it soon collapsed.
– Wow!
The appearance of an unknown monster appeared and changed again.
hundred ghosts. True to its name, a sword containing a hundred ghosts.
“I’m going to get a mental illness.”
The different thoughts flowed into my head, and that alone drove me crazy.
The madness spewing out with anticipation reminded me of demons at first glance.
I raised my faith
The White Ghost is a sword that is more powerful than any other sword if you can handle it.
And I was able to curb his madness with my faith.
Because the family head also saw potential in me, he handed over the hundred ghosts that had been sealed for generations.
Even so, what he had now was his limit, and even that thought flowed incessantly, but the possibility was clearly visible.
“Are you right?”
While looking down at the ghost sword, a good idea came to my mind.
Since it was a sword that carried blood in the past, the royal family of Baren must know about this sword.
Education can be done with this.
– Dying… … !
As a bonus, I’ll have to make this madman knife docile too.
◈ ◈ ◈
We met again and talked with the king.
He handed out a list of nobles and said they would replace evangelism.
“You have already been greatly favored by Prince Richard. We will cooperate as much as we can, even if it is trivial.”
I glanced over the list once.
As we spied on, the names of opposing nobles were written on it.
“Evangelism is a sacred and important work. It never gets caught.”
I looked up and saw the king.
He might be worried if I said that I would evangelize myself, but the king had a nonchalant expression on his face.
“But I can fully understand Baren’s position. I will do as the King said.”
“… … Thank you.”
Even though I knew everything, I tried to stimulate it once.
Don’t look at me too easy, keep the right tension.
Because we weren’t friends.
“Those on that list will visit Richard soon. They are not as hard-hearted as knights, but as civil servants they are very clever.”
“okay.”
I nodded and ran my finger over the name of Marquis Trantis.
“Can I evangelize to them in my own way?”
“As for the method… … .”
“It is to experience the greatness of God firsthand.”
“Do as the ball wishes.”
good night.
I was approved, so there was nothing to shy away from.
After talking like that, it was time to move on.
“Lord Richard.”
“yes.”
The king’s voice caught me.
“… … What do you ultimately want?”
what you want
It’s a very broad question, so the answer isn’t immediately obvious.
Well, to narrow the scope down, I want Baren to become a religious country and voluntarily spread the light to other countries.
But I still haven’t told the king yet.
It’s because I’m still on alert.
So I decided to just answer the question you asked.
“well. Something like world peace… … ?”
