Chapter 129 .
Four people were sitting around a round table in the library on the second floor of the mansion, with a lantern in the middle.
Saya said.
“Make it a little brighter. It’s too dark.”
Uriel brought his hand to the lamp. A white flame that moved to the tip of the index finger. As I stirred my arms, the haze fluttered, leaving behind a long tail.
Along the pure white tracks, light particles leaked out and filled the interior. It was Iden’s divinity.
The interior was dimly lit.
Euron exclaimed in admiration.
“Saintess, if this is enough, how on earth will the divine rank be?”
Uriel said while drawing an arc.
“It must be difficult to follow. Because there is no sample. But now that you have it, why don’t you study it in the church? I am also curious about the results.”
Aiden’s divine power was unknown. It may be difficult to judge by human standards.
Said Saya, touching the halo of light floating in the air.
“Is this really that great? I don’t know.”
Uriel nodded.
“It’s a power that only works on sun worshipers and demons, so it’s hard for you to feel it.”
Saya mumbled and snorted.
“Then, from your point of view, Iden is a fortune?”
Uriel smiled bitterly.
“In a way, it might be.”
Saya smiled.
“You are hypocrisy itself.”
Yuriel nodded slowly.
“I agree.”
Euron smiled awkwardly and looked at the two alternately.
“hahahaha, I can’t keep up with the conversation.”
Saya pointed to Aiden’s divinity.
“I heard that only the followers of the sun can handle it? What would happen if that white sun lit up more and controlled all night?”
“Yeah…, no devil will show up at night.”
Uriel opened his mouth.
“He would be, but no one except the Varanchesians would be allowed to leave the house at night.”
Saya drew an arc line.
“that’s right. Those who cannot borrow Aiden’s divinity will be robbed of the light and live in darkness.”
Euron said in a low voice.
“I guess so. You won’t be able to see anything, so even if you have urgent business, you won’t be able to solve it, and if you’re sick, you won’t be able to get proper treatment.”
The darkness created by Yang Baek was a polar night where one could not see an inch ahead.
Saya pointed to her eyes.
“You know roughly, right? You are forcing your faith with your perspective as collateral. If you don’t want to lose your light, convert to the Baranches Church. Many minor things will have to be accepted. Clap clap, Iden’s achievement.”
Then he looked at Uriel.
“Then, what does our benevolent saintess think? Are you saying this is the right way?”
Uriel didn’t answer. Saya was back.
“I remember the reason why you betrayed the sun and became a saint of Iden. Do good, help the weak, and be tolerant. These three are the driving force behind your rationalization? But what about now? The values you believed in and that white sheep seem to conflict with each other.”
Euron, who was listening, clenched his fists and opened his mouth.
“Not serving Taekwang, whom the sun acknowledged, is itself evil. The act of eradicating evil is good. A teaching to help the weak? Pagans are not weak. object to be built. Also, tolerance is the same. If you show mercy to evil, that is sin. I think that white sheep does good.”
Saya drew a subtle smile.
“Euron, I have no intention of arguing. I don’t care what your opinion is. I’m just curious about Uriel’s reaction.”
I turned my gaze to Uriel.
“Can you relate to that statement? You think it’s self brainwashing. It was the reason I always had a conflict, and I ended up sticking with Iden.”
Uriel opened his mouth.
“Saya, I know what you are trying to say.”
“Good. Then answer me.”
Uriel, lost in thought for a moment, got up from his seat and walked to the window sill. I looked down at Iden, who was sitting in the gymnasium, and said.
“Taekwang and Taeyang are different. Taekwang doesn’t bother to say or express his intentions, but he embraces all religions except for demonic religions.”
Yuriel turned her gaze to Saya.
“Aren’t your people migrating to the Sanctuary as well?”
“that’s right. And that’s not all. Elves, mermaids, giants, etc. I don’t even discriminate between races. All the intelligent beings on the continent will gather soon, right?”
It was true. The heavenly forces have already left to recruit.
Uriel nodded.
“Yes. Also, you don’t treat them as slaves. You say you are equal to humans. Even though, from our point of view, they are nothing more than pagans.”
Uriel looked at Euron.
“So I can’t agree with Euron’s opinion.”
Euron swallows saliva. The saintess continued.
“You know what? His Holiness does not treat other faiths as sins.”
Daryl, who was white with fear of losing his liver, finally regained his composure and opened his mouth.
“······Well, actually Euron and me are like that. There is no such thing as faith.”
Euron was startled and covered Daryl’s mouth with his hand.
“De, Daryl!”
Daryl quickly dodged it and spoke again.
“Hey, hey. Anyway, these sisters know all of them, bastard. What are you trying to hide?”
He looked at Saya.
“Isn’t it?”
Saya said while resting her chin.
“I guess it’s more about loyalty than faith.”
Daryl snapped his fingers.
“bingo. Good or evil, it doesn’t matter at all. Taekwang…, no. I’m just following you. I don’t know about beliefs or causes. The grace that saved our brother and sister. Since God allowed me to live as a human being, it is just a duty that I have to repay as a human being.”
Then he pointed to Euron.
“This guy will be just like me. What about evil, what about good, what tolerance? It’s obvious that all of that nonsense was put up in defense of you.”
Daryl stabbed Euron.
“Hey, isn’t that right? To be honest, we’re not sitting here because we have a big cause.”
Euron sighed and nodded.
“Actually, Daryl is right. If I, a failed student at the boot camp, knew about faith, how much more would I know? It’s just, I’m just your master’s sword.”
As he said that, he suddenly waved his hand.
“Mu, of course I can’t properly perform the role of a sword, but…”
Saya smiled and opened her mouth.
“At least, I can’t say that the owner’s beliefs are wrong.”
“Yeah, yes. Because the sword does not judge.”
Saya pointed at Daryl and Euron and looked at Uriel.
“They and you are different. Aren’t you following the human being called Iden? His actions, his values, his persuasion, his actions. You would have judged these things by your standards. Of course, it must have come out as good.”
Uriel nodded.
“that’s right. I think all of his actions are for the good.”
Saya drew a subtle smile.
“Then, what if there is a case that does not match?”
Yuriel looked at Baekyang through the window.
“It’s a leap. That one white sheep doesn’t represent Taekwang’s heart.”
“that’s right. Because we don’t know how to use it. But can you guess? Aiden could force conversion through Baekyang.”
Uriel shook his head.
“You know what Taekwang is doing, how do you come up with such a hypothesis? If he had intended to do it forcefully, Taekwang would have already stained the continent with a sea of blood. You didn’t.”
Saya smiled.
“I called you a hypocrite. You say you agree? Proof that you were conflicted here. What should I do if Aiden wields a violent attack with a white sheep? Well, that’s what you would have thought. So what is the conclusion?”
Uriel looked down at Iden.
“The premise is wrong. First of all, Taekwang will not force conversion. A person who hates the church’s methods more than anyone else can’t do that. However, there may be unintended cases.”
From noble mtl dot com
Uriel paused, then spoke again.
“Indirect damage. As long as you have Baekyang, Taekwang will use it unconditionally, and there will be adverse effects. As you said, Saya, everyone except the sun worshipers will be deprived of their night freedom.”
Yuriel turned her gaze to Saya.
“However, there is no way that Taekwang intentionally led to such a result. It’s literally just indirect damage. The reason I replied that I was a hypocrite is because I am not under His Holiness Taegwang.”
Uriel pointed at himself.
“It is me. I inadvertently compromised. Since it is the great task of monitoring the devil, there is nothing we can do about it even if other religions suffer inconvenience. In the meantime, there must be many intellectuals who have the will to convert. Is it a good thing? Right or wrong, it contradicts the gospel I preached. That’s why I agreed with the hypocrite.”
Saya shrugged.
“Iden is pretty solid to you.”
“The rookie I chose.”
“So, what conclusion did you draw?”
Uriel drew a bitter line.
“I don’t know what is right. If that white sheep later becomes huge and covers the world, there will surely be people who suffer. They will be a minority, and under the name of Taekwang, they will remain the weak and oppressed endlessly.”
Saya smiled lightly.
“Is it only indirect damage? It has absolutely nothing to do with Aiden’s intentions.”
“You can take accountability. However, it was not His Holiness Taekwang’s intention.”
Saya said in a low voice.
“Is it really so?”
Uriel did not know Aiden’s purpose. monotheism. Aiden empties all the thrones and tries to become the only one.
It won’t be a pretty road.
He even declared that if there was a god who would not hand over the throne, Aiden would kill him.
Saya knew what Iden meant.
‘The white sheep represents Aiden.’
I couldn’t help but see it that way.
What if Uriel also realizes Iden’s purpose? As for Saya, I was very curious about her reaction.
Cracks can go to the faith like iron fortress.
I thought about telling you, but decided not to. The trust between Aiden and Saya will be broken. He had no interest in spreading overheard words.
Saya stared at Uriel.
“You must live long.”
Yuriel tilted her head as if wondering.
“···yes? What is that all of a sudden?”
“I just want to see your expression later.”
The foreseeable path of Aiden. Uriel will be ruined while looking at the history stained with the blood of countless gods and their followers.
Before that happens, I might leave Aiden.
Whatever the result, Saya was just curious.
Uriel muttered as if he didn’t understand.
“As for the expression…”
Daryl laughed.
“This, this, the two older sisters finally reconciled. So, applause. What are you doing, bastard?”
Euron smiled awkwardly and clapped his hands after Daryl.
Saya also drew an eye smile.
“You’re too weak, so use this for yourself.”
I took out the sacred liver furnace from under the table and lifted it up.
“I was originally going to give it to Iden, but I changed my mind. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to die halfway through?”
After saying that, I got up and approached Yuriel.
As for Yuriel, she couldn’t understand Saya’s sudden kindness.
“Saya, you…”
“Aiden, are you okay? If you don’t like it, tell me now. You can hear it anyway.”
There was no answer coming back.
“Well, Iden also agreed.”
Saya smiled and placed the shield on Yuriel’s wrist.
changing liver. To fit the owner’s body, it was changed into a small wrist guard. It was radiating a golden glow.
Uriel stared at the shield that blocked it unconditionally for a long time.
After a while, he said with a gentle smile.
“······Saya, don’t expect too much. I am not broken.”
Their gazes briefly intertwined in midair. Saya was the first to open her mouth.
“Well, maybe.”
Then I turned around and walked towards the library exit. I said passing Daryl.
“Ah, I memorized everything. The Book of Paidna.”
Daryl cried out in a fit.
“What are you talking about?”
“Really. I skimmed through them all during the conversation. Ask me if you don’t believe me. Instead, you have to answer too.”
I couldn’t believe it, but it didn’t seem like a lie.
Daryl shook his head and let out a desperate voice.
“No, invalid. I didn’t say it was just the beginning…”
“start.”
Saya smiled.
“I’ll give you three hours as a handicap. See you later. Wipe your stomach.”
Saying that, he left the library.
Uriel stared at Aiden outside the window for a long time.
Paladin approached Aiden.
“His Holiness, your expression suddenly became serious. What do you miss? Tell this old man everything. Lend the wisdom of the years. hahahaha!”
Aiden said with his gaze fixed on the sheep.
“I have no idea.”
The path has already been decided.
