140 – Let’s go find the missing child (2)
The saintess fell into the swamp of the five elements.
This fact would have consequences that could never be ignored.
Arak’s route thought that he would come back on his own when I was done, but I don’t think so.
Why? Didn’t Arachrut himself also make an assumption about what would happen?
“It will be fine as long as you don’t accept all the fragments of the three goddesses. One or two can’t defile the saintess of Laen.”
To say that it’s okay as long as you don’t accept all three fragments is the same as saying that accepting all three fragments is dangerous.
And the reason I’m panicking is simple.
Because the Swamp of the Five Elements has secured two of them.
“That’s true… It’s a big deal.”
Even before the Lunar Festival was over, she requested an interview with Nanika and explained to her everything about her current situation.
Beside me were Aisha, two dragons, and Lacard. And even Garhalf, who was Nemenia’s escort.
I don’t know what happened, but since she was away, she seemed to feel quite guilty about the fact that Nemenia was kidnapped.
“So now the Swamp of Five Elements has fragments of two evil gods… “
“Yes. The fruit of the dream was accidentally possessed by the saintess, and the spring of failure must have secured a considerable amount during the war against the Balaur three years ago.”
At my words, Garhalf’s face darkened even more. At the same time, Raminasis’s eyebrows twitched only briefly.
Well, given what he had experienced in the Frozen Blood War, it is understandable that such a reaction would come out.
Strictly speaking, the war three years ago was caused by the swamp of the five elements that lured the dragons.
Nanika pressed her ponytail to her temple and addressed her to Garharp.
“I never thought things would turn out this way… You who came as the saintess’ escort.”
“Yes.”
“Since I have no intention of arguing in front of the devout followers of Laen, I will ask you directly. What happens when a saintess accepts a fragment of an evil spirit?”
He frowned slightly, as if he didn’t want to think about it. However, he cautiously opened his mouth, perhaps admitting that it was not the time to be stubborn.
“First of all… You will lose all of her divine powers. Even if you don’t eat all three of them. Even one, even if forced, is the same.”
“Is it only because of that one thing?”
“The Fragment of the Evil God is tantamount to a declaration that you will change the god you follow. To the clergy, it is literally poisonous, so destroy it as soon as you find it.”
This word implies that there is a high possibility that the Swamp of the Five Elements, which already has two fragments, will force Nemenia to drink poisoned apples or the spring water of Patan.
A saintess whose divine power has disappeared… How is it different from just her village girl?
“Even if you eat just one, you will become a non-human being, but the saintess candidate will be able to resist. However, if she accepts all 3 fragments, even if she is a saintly candidate… “
I know very well what will happen if you eat all three shards.
Because there was a route called ‘The End of the World’ among the routes of the original Lunatic Soul.
If you accept all the evil spirit fragments yourself, you will reign as the Demon King. It doesn’t end there, and with the hidden route, he can defeat even the three evil gods with his own hands.
Just as the four goddesses merged to form the existence of Raen, if you absorb all the evil gods, you become a god of destruction that is stronger than the god of evil. It is a route that destroys all gods and the entire continent step by step.
A normal person cannot properly absorb even one of the three fragments. But now, the person the swamp of five elements has taken away is a saint.
If you successfully absorb all three shards, you may see the chief bastard taking the World’s Ender route.
“One thing. Something is wrong.”
Arak Root, who had been listening quietly, brought out his words as if to calmly admonish him.
In case anyone would say anything rude to her, I already made her identity known to the people present.
“May I ask what it is, old dragon?”
As expected, Nanika. When she makes fun of Aisha, she becomes a perverted uncle, and now she has the attitude of a dignified empress. She is the only person who hasn’t changed even after hearing Man Bingryong’s true identity.
“When I looked at it, the child didn’t get the last name of Raen completely. Even if it is too late, if he himself receives Raen’s protection, he will be able to drive out the power of the evil god.”
“Are you referring to the saintess’ ceremony? Surely… It is possible.”
At Arak Root’s words, Gar Harp nodded his head slightly.
It was only then that he remembered how he had stubbornly called Nemenia a ‘candidate for a saint’ rather than a saint.
“What does the ceremony of becoming a saint mean?”
Even I don’t know exactly the difference between a saint and a candidate. It’s just that the stats and the voices that can be used are different?
Garhalf, whose emotions softened a little bit, answered kindly.
“On behalf of Raen, you will gain the power to purify the souls that have become unclean on the continent. In fact, there is also a record of a saintess purifying a high-ranking demon.”
Ouya, the ‘pronunciation’ used by the saintess had such a meaning. I think it was written in the skill description, but I forgot. If you remember, you remember the effect, who would remember each skill description?
“In order to become a true Saint of Laen, the candidate saint must go through the ‘ordeal of enlightenment’. The contents of the ordeal are only passed on to the saintess, so we do not know.”
What is that… It’s a kind of ordeal that I can’t help even if I know about it, so let’s put it aside.
Nanika, who synthesized the conversation, said with a pained voice.
“Once… We will not disclose this to the outside world. I hope you agree.”
“… All right.”
Garharp nodded heavily. It’s already spilled water. It is better to do it quietly if it is possible to deal with it quietly than to disturb the public sentiment by publicizing it for nothing.
And it’s clear how hard Nanika is going through right now.
If the only saintess candidate becomes unidentified in the empire, and if she is corrupted, she will not be able to escape the scrutiny of the holy nation.
When she gets into trouble with the Holy Kingdom, it’s not easy for her to become a religious problem, not just a political or diplomatic problem. The allies might come up with useless numbers.
Nanika, who had a headache for a while, asked insinuatingly.
“The Marquis of Loatire. You will have to move.”
“I will gladly serve you.”
“I’m sorry I keep relying on you. What should I do in the future?”
“Of course I have to get her Holy Maiden back. As you know, it is one of the old assassination targets in the Swamp of Five Elements.”
“Is there a place to guess?”
Of course I know. It must be the place where the other one, the ‘Luxury of the Submissive’, is located.
However, it would be strange if I knew about the location of the wine of subservience, as ‘one person’ kept it tightly hidden so that no one would know about it.
So let’s say this.
“The Great Witch of Flame must know.”
“Beniara… I’m glad I’m a good person to keep in touch with. Let me contact you… “
“I will do it!”
A girl suddenly appeared as she cut off Nanika’s backside and tore through the air.
Academy, the great witch of dark clouds that everyone knows now.
She seemed to be starting to regain her strength, and she appeared naturally stepping on her dream with a dream tune and a smile like no other.
“I want to meet Benio after a long time too!”
“Academy… You must move again to kill another demon.”
“It’s okay! Because I also need to protect the saintess of the Holy Land.”
It was an understandable statement given her position in cooperating with the Holy Kingdom to stop the devil’s attack.
Only then did Nanika agree with her words and held out her communication tool next to her.
“Then you can contact me. Benio will like it too.”
“What do you see me as! I’ll go and meet you right now!”
Fu-win!
And then, in an instant, he stepped on the purple dream and disappeared…
“Oh, right!”
Da reappeared. Very naughty It’s unpredictable.
Back at the spot, Akade turned to me and said.
“Hey, Marquis!”
From nob le mt l. co m
My name is not Marquis.
“Wouldn’t it be better to teach you to tune your daydream first? I can’t seem to use teleport.”
“Then… Thank you.”
“Okay! Then come back and let’s talk!”
Shaking her hand, Akade really disappeared like a mirage this time.
“Then the Marquis of Loatire. Make her arrangements so that she can leave as soon as Academy gets back. Decide in advance who you will take with you.”
“He’s the one I’m going to take with me… “
“Of course I have to go with you!”
Aisha proudly declared, pulling my arm. Two dragons followed her.
Even if laminasis is the case, why even arakrut? Bingryong Man, who noticed my doubts, closed his eyes and replied.
“It will help.”
It was such a short statement, but what can I do? I can’t deny it, and if I actually followed you, my power would increase tremendously.
Hilde will also be hiding in my shadow and watching over me, so will 4 of us be enough?
I was looking at each of my acquaintances one by one to see if there was anyone else to take with me.
“Can I move with Princess Herilda?”
“Hmm? Are you familiar with the princess?”
“You are the club advisor. That is, but I think it will be helpful as there are many points of contact between the Archwitch of Flame and the Merhassen family.”
“Hmm… I knew that the Marhassen family had a lot of contact with Benio. But unfortunately, he is now in Smitel Kingdom with Princess Shamilton.”
I wondered why he wasn’t there on the Moon Festival, but he seemed to be working hard again.
“As the Allied Powers are showing suspicious movements, the agreement needs to be reexamined…”
“I’m back!”
Another cut off Nanika, and almost a minute later, Akade popped out again, rounding her somersault.
“You… Are you just waiting for me to tell you and then popping out?”
“What?”
“Whoa… okay. So? Where is Benio now?”
Akade, who was very excited for some reason, twitched her butt and vigorously answered Nanika.
“They are in the kingdom of Smitel!”
“… I’ll have to take the princess with me too.”
That’s how our next destination was decided.
