Surviving the Game as a Barbarian chapter 147

147 Episode The Great Legacy (4)

70 million stones.

As soon as I heard it, my heart was pounding.

However, he calmed himself down and continued the conversation.

I’m happy because it won’t be too late to do it after the money is in my hands.

“Will this letter be evidence?”

Krovitz, who was handed the letter, slowly read it from the top and changed his expression completely.

And there was no word for a long time.

“… … Is there something wrong?”

“Ah, sorry. If this is true… … This is a really serious matter for our school. I don’t doubt Yandel, could you please wait inside for a while?”

“I do.”

Faal Krovitz led us to a place that looked like a drawing room inside the temple, and then left with a sign of urgency. Do you think you should check your handwriting first before reporting it to your superiors?

“no way… … Isn’t there something wrong?”

“Haha, can it be? They just want to talk after confirming the other side as well.”

“Murad is right. You’ve probably read it too, but it’s not the content of the letter.”

The waiting time was longer than expected.

And when slowly different guesses start to emerge between us.

“I apologize. You inevitably made me wait too long.”

Faral Krovitz is back.

“Come on, let’s go. Everyone is waiting.”

The place that followed him was the chapel on the second floor.

A space that can only be used by those who have become priests, not ordinary believers.

“I heard you can’t enter this place unless you’re a member of the church, but… … .”

“The Goddess has connected us, so how can we call you strangers?”

Watching Krovitz answer Rottmiller’s question, I erased my anxiety. If the letter was judged to be fake, there would be no way to take such an attitude.

squeaky.

Soon Krowitz opened the door, revealing the interior of the chapel. It was a fairly large space, but only seven people were seated in it.

When I checked their faces, I was stunned.

‘crazy.’

After the Count’s visit, he had read through several books on the position of the Order, so he knew it as soon as he saw it.

Two men and women who are the only ones in this place wearing armor. The patterns engraved on the armor were different, but the silver thread adorning the rim means that they are the leaders of the Holy Knights.

If you include Paral Krovitz, the only three leaders in the denomination have gathered in one place.

But that doesn’t end there.

Two high priests and one cardinal.

And the old man standing at the center as if receiving their throne.

“… … I see Archbishop Youngseong, the servant who follows the stars.”

As soon as Rotmiller saw him, he knelt down and drew a sign.

I did just that.

To add to Catholicism, we have a pope right in front of us.

‘But who is that little girl?’

For a moment when I felt strange pressure from the colorful lineup, I stared at the little boy in front of the Pope.

A small boy who must have been about ten years old.

Now that I see it, it seems that everyone is in formation as if protecting the child. Even the pope standing right behind the child.

what the hell are you doing kid

This was the moment I was thinking about it.

“Will the star at twilight guide us?”

When the Pope drew the sign first, all the members looked at us and bowed in silence.

It was very unusual.

Rottmiller, who is also a believer, is helpless and hardens like a stone.

“… … .”

Is it because the current location is a chapel?

A strangely sacred yet majestic atmosphere flows through the air.

After a moment of silence, the Pope opened his mouth.

“High Priest Rudwig was a very precious person to us. Thank you for delivering the letter. May I ask how you got this letter?”

To be honest, I was a little surprised.

Because he, the supreme ruler of one of the three major religions, was too polite and cautious to speak to the explorer on the fourth floor.

‘It’s not always like this. He must have been that important.’

Soon I spoke slowly.

And he briefly described what happened in the Labyrinth of Larkaz.

But is this the clergyman’s mindset?

“Maybe the twilight star sent you to him who was lost. Thank you for saving his soul. Though possessed by an evil evil spirit, his soul will shine forever in darkness.”

It was a little hard to hear.

It’s not a matter of right or wrong, but should I say that I feel that they are fundamentally the opposite of me?

From a long time ago, I did not have a good relationship with religious people.

“… … It is his legacy.”

Soon after, I took out the necklace the high priest was wearing and handed it to them.

If it were a holy thing, it would be much more valuable than receiving a bounty, but… … .

It was not worth it because it was to keep morality.

Because I owe him a debt.

“Thank you. It’s not the thing I was looking for, but I hope this can comfort his soul a little bit.”

Yeah, it wasn’t a holy thing.

Well, if there was such a thing, he would have taken it all.

“Cardinal Greonde, how much is the reward for them?”

“The relics have not been recovered, but considering the importance of the handwritten letter, his memento, and the passing of his last moments, it seems that it will not be enough to pay all the 70 million stones designated by the Ministry of Finance.”

“Then, I want you to do that.”

Without realizing it, I swallowed my saliva.

I wanted to cut it in half because I didn’t have a holy relic, but I’m going to give you all of it. I reflect on myself for hearing their words awkwardly.

They were really good religious people.

It’s not that important though.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“Tell me.”

Now that the first paragraph is over, we jump right into the main topic.

Perhaps more important than the bounty.

“So what are you guys going to do now?”

“Can I ask what you mean exactly?”

“Have you found the culprit who kidnapped High Priest Rudwig? I wondered if he wanted revenge. Somehow, I got involved too.”

As I asked the question, I naturally hinted that you are also responsible.

But the answer that came back was very vague.

“That cannot be confirmed right now and here.”

“Right.”

Zep, I thought they wouldn’t be able to touch me for a while if they were to take revenge.

Do I really have no choice but to try something on my own?

He nodded his head again and licked his lips.

That was the moment.

“Don’t worry too much, great warrior.”

At the same time as the little child who had been watching for a long time opened his mouth.

aa-!

A very dazzling silver brilliance spewed out.

And when you wake up.

A ring of vines intertwined with three stalks was tucked into my thick fingers.

I was wondering what kind of English this is… … .

I realized when I heard the next cardinal’s cry.

“trust… … ! The trust has come down… … !”

Even in the game, I only heard the conversations with NPCs, but I had never actually experienced it.

It was a trust.

‘Nimiral.’

It’s been a long time since I heard it too.

***

Finally, the question was solved.

Did the Pope treat such a young child as if he were a godsend?

The answer was indeed simple.

‘It must be a saint.’

No, I’m a boy, so should I call him a saint?

Anyway, the name doesn’t matter.

A vessel that can hear the voice of God and sometimes embracing his power.

A child with the qualities of the bowl says:

“The Goddess just spoke. That ring will prevent a strong affair up to three times.”

“If it’s a bad relationship, are you talking about Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos?”

If you were an ordinary fortune teller, you would have said something like that to this question, it may or may not be.

One oracle was different.

“yes. He said he could only stop his bad relationship with him. So, be prepared to overcome your fate in case all the stems of the ring are cut off.”

It’s like I’ve become a hero who can defeat the Demon King.

Frankly, I was dumbfounded.

No matter how old Elisha was, he decided to work with the high priest, so why did the goddess give such a gift?

Even to those called evil spirits.

‘what? Is it like a hidden camera?’

I suddenly wondered if they were all using this little girl to cheat together, but… … .

The ring on his hand cleared his doubts.

Even the expressions on their faces that were tinged with astonishment seemed too faithful to be an act.

“Will the star at twilight guide us?”

“Let it flow smoothly.”

The world’s top religious people, all at once, look at me and draw a sign.

I checked the faces of my colleagues.

“Bjorn, what are you?”

“Really, he was born with fate!”

“No, this is not such a problem. Uh, how a barbarian made a choice to a human god… … .”

No, I don’t even know if I look at it like that.

It was then that I realized that it was not simply something to be happy about and looked at the little girl.

There were many things I wanted to ask.

but… … .

dump.

A child who collapses helplessly, perhaps as a result of receiving a trust.

The Pope grabbed the child’s body, and with that, today’s meeting ended.

“Lord Krovitz, lead them outside.”

“No, wait! I still have to ask… … .”

“Please forgive me. We will meet again later to explain everything. Until then, I hope you keep today’s affairs a secret. Perhaps a great disaster may befall you.”

“What, disaster?”

It sounds like you’ve heard nonsense, but the conversation ended there.

“Lord Krovitz will explain the details.”

The pope’s stubborn attitude forced us to go outside. And under the guidance of Paal Krovitz, I headed to the drawing room where I was waiting earlier.

“Krowitz, what the hell is this?”

“me too… … I do not know. What the hell did he mean when he gave an oracle to a different race?”

“… … Isn’t there an oracle to be given to a different race?”

“Yes, as far as I know, this is the third time.”

“So, what happened to them?”

“According to the records, I know that they were branded as heretics and expelled from within the tribe.”

Ha, this is giving me a headache.

Should I say that there is one more suicide button after evil spirits?

“I can see why you told me to keep it a secret.”

“Yeah, well, knowing it would do more harm than good.”

The key to the Barbarian’s growth is Spirit Engraving.

But being kicked out of the tribe?

From that day on, I’m no different from becoming an asshole.

Because barbarian shamans only exist in the Holy Land.

“But don’t worry about us. Nothing will flow first.”

Saying so, Krowitz looked at his colleagues.

There were no words, but what he meant was clear.

So I also saw my colleagues.

“ah! Me, I keep my mouth shut! really? believe? Bjorn?”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t heard anything today.”

Not to mention Missha, and Rottmiller wasn’t too worried. Personality is also personality, but first of all, this uncle is also a Reatlasian.

However, the problem is… … .

“Come on, come on! Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

“… … I will stop drinking.”

Seeing the dwarf bowing his head with a disappointed expression, I sighed.

After all, we didn’t all come here together.

Are all the gods like this?

Instead of taking the largest stone that weighed on my chest, it feels like a new smaller stone was placed on it.

‘Still, he’s not that light-hearted… … .’

But I decided to focus on the positive.

If this ring really prevents the event of encountering a dragon killer, then a risk like this cannot be called a risk.

In terms of gain and loss, it is unconditionally beneficial.

Because it was the time that I desperately wanted the most.

‘This is the first time I’ve eaten holy things through an oracle.’

An object given by God is called a holy thing.

Most have a deceptive effect.

So I did not doubt the ring’s performance. I don’t know how long it will go, but I won’t run into him until all three strands are broken.

but… … .

‘I guess the question is how late it will be disconnected.’

2 years? 3 years?

Since it’s a freshly made hot holy thing, I wonder if that’s possible… … .

It would be better to hold it as short as possible and prepare.

I decided to think about at least half a year to a year, and I finished organizing my mind.

And it was the moment I got up from the couch.

supportive.

One of the tangled vines was broken.

“Uh, Bjorn? Looks like one just broke.”

“… … not. It cannot be.”

I twisted the broken vines with my spitted fingers like a little string.

But, as always, the reality was cold.

“Come on, look. It just sticks together, isn’t it?”

The moment I held out my hand with a ring on it.

🥺🥺-!

The broken vines scatter and emit silver light.

I stared blankly at the scene.

“The conditions for the activation of Star Protection have been met.”

There wasn’t even a laugh.
