177 – Sun and Moon – 6
One thing to notice here. Stella and Selene also secretly, no, in fact openly, want me to connect with the popes.
I don’t know if it’s natural for me to think like that when I list the things I’ve done in the Holy Land.
‘I never thought I’d be able to use it this way.’
I smiled bitterly as I walked in front of the Sun Pope, the Moon Pope, the Heretic Inquisitor, and the Heretic Inquisitor.
I never really imagined that I would try to get the Easter egg weapon sleeping under the Cathedral of the Sun and the Cathedral of the Moon, in order to escape from the Popes trying to drag me into bed.
It was a funny act when I thought about it.
Of course, I had no reason to go to such lengths and reject the temptations of the popes. It was definitely a welcome thing to mingle with such busty beauties.
It was, to an extent, a matter of self-control. If I live here buried in the arms of the popes any longer, I will forcibly endure it, thinking that I will not be able to escape. Floretta and Luna had enough destructive power.
After catching all the bosses and subjugating even the Eater of the World, you don’t know again, but you shouldn’t relax yet. I can’t even think of whether I should relax a little.
I know my personality best. They say that once you start to stretch, you won’t be able to return to the present unless someone forces you to do so. Then there is a higher chance of getting screwed up.
It’s never too late to enjoy it until after you’ve stepped on the events and bosses that are threatening in terms of the story.
“stellar. What time is it now? It’s not noon yet, is it?”
“Yes, sir. We still have about an hour left.”
Because I woke up early in the morning, I talked to God, passed out in the middle, and even woke up, but there was still about an hour left. That was enough.
“Floretta. Could you empty the front of the Cathedral of the Sun before 10 minutes before noon? You don’t have to hit it 10 minutes ago, you just have to do it before noon.”
“I will.”
Floretta accepted my offer without hesitation. It was to the extent that I was a bit surprised when I asked the question.
“Aren’t you asking why?”
“I trust the VIP, what more could you ask for?”
Floretta smiled as she said that. Seeing that Luna nodded in sympathy, it seemed that she was thinking the same thing as Floretta.
In fact, there was no need to empty the front of the cathedral.
It is not an Easter egg that becomes impossible if there are people nearby, and it does not require any special preparation. All I needed was my body and the noon hour when the sun was rising exactly vertically.
Still, the reason why I made such a request to Floretta was because I thought that if I left people unattended, there would be an enormous amount of attention.
As for me, I was already overflowing with the attention I was receiving right now. It was because the list included the Pope of the Sun and the Pope of the Moon, the Heretic Inquisitor and the Heretic Questioner, and even the most elite combat nuns of the Holy Kingdom.
In the meantime, if I execute an Easter egg with the Popes, Heretic Judge, and Heretic Questioner in front of people, there will be no one in the Holy Land who does not know my name.
The person who created the Holy Relic by gathering the sunlight shining on the Cathedral of the Sun into one. How could that not attract people’s attention?
Even in the game, when a player activates an easter egg and obtains a holy relic, NPCs in the holy kingdom bow their heads to the player until they insert it for the first time.
What about in real life anyway?
‘And Caicilia will know.’
I shook my head, reminding myself of the Emperor, whose personality could go anywhere.
“Oh, you don’t have to empty it too far. Just make sure people can’t see what’s going on in the plaza in front of the Cathedral of the Sun. Are you fine?”
“Of course, sir. Selene.”
“Do the honored guest’s bidding, Stella.”
Floretta and Luna called the Heretic Judge and Heretic Questioner by name.
Stella bowed her head briskly and disappeared across the corridor at breakneck speed, while Selene bowed her head lightly and melted into the shadows.
“By the way, honored guest. What do you want from the Cathedral of the Sun?”
Luna clinging to my left arm spoke to me. Floretta also looked at me with curiosity in her green eyes.
The answer to that question was fixed. It would be a mouth-watering answer if the Popes heard it, but I wondered if it wouldn’t matter anyway since the affinity seems to be close to MAX.
I answered briefly.
“A holy relic.”
Nominally, the Popes themselves asked for the request, but in reality, it was no different from what I asked for, so Stella and Selene’s work speed was staggering.
Far from emptying before 12:10, less than 10 minutes had passed since the request was made, and the plaza in front of the cathedral was already empty.
‘… … It’s kind of creepy.’
While I waited for 12 o’clock, I looked around, chatting with the popes. I felt even a little creepy to see that there was no one in sight of the always crowded followers and it was empty.
The roads extending from the square, the square itself, the surrounding buildings, walls, and at least the ornaments are all covered in white, and not a single person can be seen anywhere.
I checked my watch again. We now have about two minutes left.
“It’s about time. wait a minute.”
“Yes, honored guest.”
“All right.”
Floretta and Luna, who clung to my side and rubbed their breasts against my forearms and didn’t want to fall, listened to me and meekly undid their arms.
We walked towards the center of the square. It was almost twelve o’clock now, and the sun in the sky was about to hang vertically over the top of the spire.
‘… … This, it’s a bit like trying to do it after laying the board.’
In a situation where not only Floretta and Luna, but also Stella and Selene were looking at me with eyes full of anticipation, I felt a bit strange about taking ‘that gesture’.
What can I do? I still have to
‘great. Let’s do it.’
12:30 before. I got into a position.
Stand with your back, back, and neck stretched out in the direction of the sun, and bring your toes together so that your body faces the same direction.
Stretch both arms straight above your head, facing the backs of your hands, and slowly open them in that state. A pose similar to the letter Y. Maybe it’s about a 45 degree angle with the body.
By the time I finished the last step, the heel lift, the clock’s hour, minute, and second hands pointed to the number 12 at the same time and overlapped exactly as one. It was just a gestural stance.
The name of this gesture is ‘Praise the sun.’
It was a gesture called ‘long live the sun’.
And, it was also a gesture to get Easter egg weapons from the Cathedral of the Sun.
‘… … It makes me proud.’
I was embarrassed before I did it, but once I got to the pose, my throat tickled and I felt a bit proud that I had reproduced this cult-popular pose as it was in the game.
praise the sun
That’s the exact name, but among users, it just went like Taeyang. The one that is called “Long live the sun” sticks more closely to the mouth.
This gesture could be obtained while obtaining a solar eclipse by completing the quest given by the Heretic Inquisitor and then proceeding to the quest given by the Pope of the Sun.
Like all gestures, there is no point in collecting anything other than earning achievements, so there was nothing to see in-game except for the cult-like popularity gained because of the unique bizarre posture and the background story related to brunet 1-3.
‘That was until the Easter egg related to Seongguk was revealed.’
In the beginning, as always, it was a deceased person with nothing to do.
A deceased person who was about to die of boredom was doing all sorts of stupid things with gestures, and suddenly started paying attention to the explanation of gestures.
It was written, ‘When I look at the sun and take this posture, I get an unknown and mysterious feeling’, an explanation that exists only in two out of close to 100 gestures.
‘Praise the sun’, and ‘Praise the moon’.
Since such meaningful phrases were written only in the descriptions of these two gestures, it was a matter of seconds for users who had nothing to do for the same long to rush back to the rice cake.
The dead people couldn’t control their joy because they had something to do after a long time, and they thought it was right and started digging through the entire map, and the Easter egg was found within a few months.
Perform this gesture in the center of the plaza in front of the Cathedral of the Sun during the ‘noon’ time zone of the Holy Kingdom, which is only held once per play for a very short time of 1 minute in real time if certain conditions are met.
Originally, the ‘noon’ time zone was opened only when certain conditions were met, and in order to obtain the gesture, the Seongguk side had to go through a sub-quest for a long time, but now there was no need for that at all.
Noon returns once a day, and you don’t have to get a gesture to do a Hooray Taeyang pose.
In the game, I was convinced to see that nothing changed even if I did an event that could get a gesture.
“Evangelina. There, the steeple of the cathedral… … .”
Along with Luna’s dazed voice, the cluster of lights near the spire grew stronger.
“That’s how… … ?”
The spire created a pillar of light that was clearly visible to the eye and shot right in front of me. The pillar of light that started from the top of the spire was connecting my toes and the spire.
‘done.’
From the pillar of light that landed on the tip of my feet, something was slowly created.
A body resembling an elongated staff, intricate patterns painted on the body, and two pairs of angel wings blooming from the tip. Finally, a round orb appeared on the wing.
Among them, the round orb that appeared above the wing floated up into the air by itself, stopped between two pairs of angel wings, and began to emit a bright light.

Just like the sun
Without hesitation, I grasped the long stick-like object that appeared in front of me. The pillars of light descending from the top of the spire gradually faded as I grasped the weapon.
‘It means I chose one design well.’
I looked up at the slowly spinning sun, floating between angel wings.
The appearance itself was as simple as seen in the game. This is because it has an appearance that is a mixture of golden and orange colors, a body engraved with antique patterns, and even the culmination of a small sun.
The only problem is the gloomy performance enough to compete with a broken straight sword.
Unlike the Wingless Nightmare, which had fraudulent performance enough to convince the filthy acquisition conditions at once, this was nothing more or less than an entertainment weapon used by old people when they had nothing to do.
Even the special ability was all about emitting sunlight while raising the staff above his head. I didn’t even say that there was damage from the light, or that super armor was applied during that time.
For reference, the Easter egg weapon that can be obtained by making a ‘praise the moon’ gesture in front of the Moon Cathedral is also a special ability that emits moonlight.
So the two pairs were nicknamed Flashlights.
‘What do you say when you give it? Do I have to tell them not to use it in actual combat and leave it as a decoration?’
Thinking how to put it, the popes wouldn’t use this in practice, and when I turned my head, I saw four faces staring at me with mesmerized expressions.
It was a reaction I had already fully expected, so I approached the four of them while reflecting on the excuse I had prepared in advance.
Praise the sun!
