Episode. 28 Prophets of Baren (1)
The world looked at through Shinan was darkly covered with demons.
I looked down at the royal road.
Beyond the faces of people living their daily lives, there was always anxiety.
The severest of them showed violence that could not be understood.
It was because it was contaminated with magic.
Such a phenomenon appeared first among the people of the lower class.
Harsh reality drives humans to the brink.
The moment you cross the line drawn in your mind, you become a complete demon.
Unfortunately, once he became a Mine, he couldn’t return to his original state no matter what he did.
‘The light will spread soon, so I can let go of my worries.’
After looking at the kingdom of Baren, where I am staying, I changed my point of view.
In an instant, my eyes were distorted, and this time the appearance of Rio Castle unfolded.
“Ugh, ugh!”
A scream full of fear.
“Who is that screaming bastard over there! Come out right now!”
The high voice of the commander who leads the soldiers.
It was Rio Castle, which could not be said to be peaceful even in the right words.
It wasn’t that the plague had already poured out.

They were just preparing now.
“Two, don’t be afraid!”
“Let faith spread far and wide!”
Knights and soldiers sent by the royal family ran around the front yard of Rio Castle and sang hymns.
If a nobleman or king of the royal family had seen it, he would have grabbed his back.
‘You’re doing well.’
The knights of Rio Castle, who are young in politics, faithfully followed my advice.
No matter how good the newly recruited royal troops are, in the end they are saengnim.
It was like a new chick who had never fought before being covered in demonic energy.
However, since you can’t really push yourself into actual combat with your bare body, you’re at least training your courage like that.
Thanks to that, the newly deployed troops were able to cry out my name and God.
From my point of view, it was very slanted, and from Baren’s point of view, it was a goal-striking situation.
The royal family is trying to legislate even the national law to protect the royal authority, but here they are looking for me without filtering.
Well, since the situation was a situation, the heads of the alliance couldn’t help it either.
‘It’s not long now.’
The demonic energy felt from the side of Pauline Castle is unusual.
Soon, monsters named Plague will appear.
A long, long, unstoppable battle will take place.
A low-level deity could not purify Pauline Castle.
Because the curse of Corps Commander Calgos is strong.
‘That’s not necessarily bad.’
Baren evaluated the situation in his country as a combination of bad news and bad news.
But it really wasn’t like that.
Isn’t there an old saying that a crisis is an opportunity?
At least to me, Margie and Pauline Castle were opportunities.
Ah, come to think of it, there was another crisis that could be used as an opportunity.
‘Alan Marx.’
I changed my point of view again.
I gazed at the world reflected in the eyes of God, feeling the faith consumed in a lump.
“Fireball.”
Roaring!
A ball of fire the size of an adult’s body covered my eyes.
Cloudy magic mixed with dark energy in bright red flames.
It was Alan’s work.
“… … sh*t!”
Disturbing the flame, Alan stomped his foot.
As if he hated himself for suddenly using black magic, he gritted his teeth.
‘Suffering.’
Alan’s mental strength, which was stronger than he thought, remained sane even after accepting the demonic energy of the two high-ranking demons.
“When is that f*cking time coming?” … .”
Alan muttered, taking something out of his bosom.
Looking closely, it was a finely kept leaf.
Alan’s complexion, which had been holding up well thanks to the abundant light from the revelation, became paler day by day.
I just watched him without missing a single day.
No contact has been made since the first revelation.
Revelation is not an ability that can be used very often, so it is necessary to draw a certain efficiency at once.
I’m really sorry, but in order to do that, Alan needed to be more desperate.
And there were signs that his mental powers were slowly reaching their limits.
◈ ◈ ◈
He stopped praying for God and went to the believers.
I plan to give Alan a revelation tomorrow.
The time was quite ripe, and watching someone in pain was quite a chore.
“Richard!”
The voice of Moritz, who was very angry, stuck in his ears.
I looked again and saw that he was frowning.
“How long are you going to spend time here?”
“Well, how long has it been since you arrived here?”
“It’s already the third day! Even at this moment, the brothers of Rio Castle must be trembling in fear… … !”
I can’t even take care of myself, so I worry about others.
But maybe it wasn’t just Moritz?
“I am a little worried too.”
“me too… … I am concerned about whether the warriors are eating well.”
Aaron and Mary came over and complained to me.
The faces of the believers after that were also similar.
“I’m not a child they left at the water’s edge, why is that?”
“Because you never know when a battle will break out.”
“They are fine. Don’t worry too much.”
“How do you know?”
how do you know
I know because I just watched it.
I put my finger on the back of Aaron’s bewildered expression.
“What we have to worry about is not the reliable knight, but the people of Baren who are trembling over there.”
“People… … ?”
The eyes of Snowfall’s followers, including Mary, shone.
It was the look of finding prey.
“okay. I decided to evangelize Horgyo to Baren. They need light.”
“Kyaaak!”
The ones who were more excited than me were the Snowfall followers, or missionaries.
Just like when I was appointed as a prophet, clenching my fists seemed to burn with a sense of mission.
“what. Was it like that?”
Belatedly, Moritz scratched his head.
“Why are you telling me something so important now? No, why do you decide on your own?”
“Because I am a saint. You are one of the lowest class s*x accidents.”
How could Moritz know what I was thinking?
Now that this is the case, I decided to gather the followers of the Hour religion and explain the current situation.
“As you know, half of the territory of the Baren Kingdom was covered by demons. We lost countless knights and soldiers, and we were in a difficult position politically.”
To make matters worse, demons are appearing in succession all over the kingdom.
Now, to express Baren in one word,
“Your body is sick and even your arms have fallen off, but there are a lot of enemies to deal with.”
okay. this would be right
Mary opened her mouth brightly at my appropriate expression.
“Ahh! In a word, it’s all-inclusive!”
“… … okay. Anyway, the Baren Kingdom is facing various problems, not just Rio Castle.”
The followers opened their mouths as if they had learned something new.
“As expected, saint!”
“I didn’t know the deep meaning.”
“Let’s go out into the streets and evangelize!”
Those who were shouting praises for me moved their hips as if they would leave at any moment.
“no. We evangelize only to a select group of nobles.”
“yes?”
“There are circumstances.”
Coincidentally, today is the day the nobles decided to visit.
“Only Mary and about 10 missionaries are with me. The rest are resting.”
It was when he was saying that to the followers of the Hoor religion.
I felt eyes staring at me right next to me.
“Gid?”
A veteran of the war, taking off the butler’s formal suit and donning a light breastplate.
From the moment he left Battenberg, Gied Meyer had become very talkative.
“… … May I go with you?”
“What kind of evangelism are you going to do if you don’t believe in God?”
“It is the opposite. I want this old knight to have the same aspirations as the saint.”
Gide’s eyes shone brightly.
Come to think of it, he didn’t even explain in detail about God.
This will be a good opportunity.
“okay. Let’s do it.”
“thank you.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“Come on, let’s go.”
“… … .”
Marquis Trantis moved on.
Nobles followed him.
“We have been given a noble mission.”
“It is.”
Those selected by the king quickly understood their situation.
Whether there is a god or not, it is certain that Richard’s light drives away the demonic spirit.
Also, through the Rio castle, I came to know how great the power of something like religion is.
What the nobles, including the marquis, had to do was to find a way to spread Richard’s light and religion while not affecting the royal authority.
First of all, today we decided to take the first step by learning the doctrines of Horgyo.
“Everyone, keep your mind straight. You don’t know what kind of brainwashing you’ll be subjected to if you’re even a little vigilant.”
The Marquis kept making new requests.
Being a suspicious person, he commented that he couldn’t trust Richard.
Of course, it was certain that Richard was the hero of Rio Castle, but that didn’t make the suspiciousness go away.
“Are you here? Prophets of Baren.”
The ten nobles soon arrived before Richard.
Some people lined up behind Richard.
The one holding the cross-patterned insignia was, at first glance, a follower of the Hoor religion.
“Before listening to the doctrine of Horror, there will be a sermon by Evangelist Mary.”
Evangelism began right away without any greetings.
gulp. The Marquis swallowed.
In any case, it is now the only means to save Baren.
It would be a lie if he said he was not desperate for light.
“hello. My name is Mary, the preacher of the Hoor religion!”
Mary stepped forward.
The joy that resided in the graceful face belonged to those who enjoyed evangelism itself.
It was when everyone’s eyes turned to Mary.
Saaa-
“Heh, heh… … .”
“oh my god!”
A faint halo emanated from her body.
It was a shocking sight to the aristocrats who thought only Richard could shine.
Marquis Trantis looked down at me.
What I feel is warmth.
It wasn’t as much as Richard’s light, but the halo emitted by Meili also contained warmth that drove away demonic energy.
The most important fact is that that light is not the exclusive property of Richard.
‘… … I have to figure out how to emit that light!’
If they figured out a way, the royal family would be able to direct the light.
Then, the authority of the royal family will be higher than ever before, and the vicious public sentiment will also be stabilized.
As if he wasn’t alone in his thoughts, the aristocrats united in one mind and burned their will to fight.
The purpose of learning the doctrines of Horism had been pushed into the background.
“Baren is now in a dangerous situation. one! Don’t worry! The lamp of Hor, Saint Richard leads the light… … .”
Merry grabbed the badge of Horror and gave a long speech.
“Oh oh! Horgyo’s prestige is truly amazing.”
“Already, one side of my heart is reassured. To tell us the light of Hor… … !”
“With that brilliant light, no dark clouds could overshadow Varen!”
Richard, who was observing the situation, smiled.
It was the same as last time.
While exclaiming admiration and admiration with his mouth, he was aiming for what he wanted in his heart.
But now that wasn’t the case.
“Mary, stop.”
“yes?”
“I think we need mental training first.”
He pulled Mary back while he was preaching.
The nobles’ heads were filled with how to use the light rather than faith.
For those who were not in the mood to listen, the sermon was no different from nagging.
“It’s not that I don’t understand, but this is a bit, isn’t it? I’m like Hogu.”

In the first place, if you don’t have enough faith, you won’t be able to shine.
I guess I’ll have to put some real faith in it…
Richard thought so.
