gulp.
Ethan swallowed dry saliva.
The person in front of you is the Shinsu, who was Saint Eileen’s best friend a hundred years ago.
It was a magical being, and it was the product of a miracle like the holy white water.
The years they have lived cannot even be estimated by human common sense.
So it was something to be careful about.
‘Damn! Is that a wolf? Is it just a dog?’
Ethan groaned inwardly.
It was the words he said to his subordinate 100 years ago, but now there is no one to accept it, so he only thinks to himself.
Fenrir has always been against Ethan.
Since the saint despises Ethan, it was natural that the divine beast protecting her was also hostile.
But, strangely, Fenrir showed only his hostility towards Ethan compared to the other enemies of the saint.
‘Why me?’
Ethan couldn’t understand English.
However, he couldn’t treat Shinsu who hated him for no good reason.
So Ethan always called the divine beast a dog.
You call the sacred divine beast a wolf?
If the priests of the denomination heard it, they would be terrified of calling it blasphemy.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Fenrir approached Ethan and sniffed him.
And he tilted his head in a strange way.
“What’s up?”
“Why did Shin-soo come here?”
People around me groaned.
The divine beast, who had been hiding in the depths of the temple, suddenly ran out of the castle.
That alone was surprising, but he was showing hostility towards a boy.
The strange thing was that the hostility was not clear.
“… … ?”
Fenrir continued to hover around Ethan.
The princess, who had magical powers and magic, did not even care.
Only Ethan showed an obsessive interest.
However, Ethan was delighted with Fenrir’s mysterious reaction.
‘Well then! No matter how good your nose is, you won’t be able to recognize a reincarnated person.’
Ethan smirked inwardly.
Meanwhile, Fenrir wasn’t sure.
Instinctively, he recognized that this boy in front of him was the henchman of the Demon King from 100 years ago.
But the smell was completely someone else’s.
ok.
In the end, Fenrir took a step back from Ethan.
‘Whoa.’
Ethan sighed in relief.
A hundred years ago, Fenrir was a very troublesome existence for him.
He noticed Ethan’s existence like a ghost, so he always warned the Seven Heroes first.
For this reason, Ethan had to work hard not to reveal his existence to Fenrir while he was active in the dark.
It was an awful affair.

Visor!“Show your ID card.”
The captain of the guard, who was in charge of the guards, took out his sword from the scabbard.
Shinsu’s actions were unusual, so it was natural.
Shh.
“Here it is.”
Ethan pulled out his identity card from his bosom.
The captain of the guard looked around the identity card.
And he opened his mouth in a strange way.
“You’re a saint candidate?”
“yes. It’s not enough, but I’m serving Pars-sama.”
“Excuse me, but you are a little young.”
The captain of the guard did not clear the boundary easily.
Like Shinsoo’s abnormal behavior, Edan’s identity was questionable.
He was too young to be a saint candidate.
Above all, there has never been a case of a saint candidate moving alone like this.
“Then, who is next to you?”
“It’s a companion.”
The captain of the guard looked at Ethan questioningly, and finally said:
“I don’t think this is a matter for me to judge. Since you said that you are a candidate for the saint, I will have to visit the priest in charge of Pacheseong.”
“A priest who presides over Pacheseong?”
Ethan asked, feeling a certain ominous feeling.
Just seeing the white furry bastard made me feel bad, but hearing those words somehow made me goosebumps.
The captain of the guard answered Ethan’s question.
“yes. Priest Rossi.”

A prayer room in the temple.
Outside the prayer room, a woman was rolling her feet and staring at the closed door.
She was Cecilia, the priest in charge of the divine beast Fenrir.
click.
Just then, the door to the prayer room opened and a male priest came out.
Cecilia immediately ran towards the male priest.
“Rosi-sama!”
Lucio Rossi was startled and stepped back.
After hours of hard prayer, he was very tired.
He frowned slightly.
“What is Priest Cecilia doing at this hour? Now is probably the time to dress up Fenrir-sama.”
“Actually, Fenrir suddenly growled and ran out of the temple. So I came to see Rossi.”
“Fenrir-sama? I can’t.”
It was an abnormal behavior that could not be found at all in the records of the last hundred years.
Lucio had doubts about Fenrir’s travels.
But that was something to think about later.
“By the way, if Fenrir-sama ran away, you should have told me right away! Why are you talking now?”
“Lee, the other day, Rosi-nim told me not to disturb anyone when I was in the prayer room… … .”
“Ugh.”
At Cecilia’s plea, Lucio was at a loss for words.
“Anyway, let’s go to Fenrir-sama’s place right now. Please guide me.”
“All right!”
That was then.
As Lucio was about to go outside, he stopped.
It was because the divine beast Fenrir appeared before him.
“Fenrir-sama!”
Lucio was startled and approached Fenrir.
And, by the way, I looked here and there to see if there was anything wrong with the precious divine beast.
“Did you go out for a walk? didn’t you tell me If that was the case, I would have accompany you.”
Fenrir snorted as if Lucio was offended by Yunan’s trembling.
‘Usually, you like to get attention, but what are you doing today?’
Lucio was puzzled.
However, taking care of the divine beast of the saint was a task passed down from generation to generation.
Lucio smiled softly and glared at Fenrir.
“You don’t like it because you feel like you’re being treated like a child. I was rude.”
right.
Fenrir wags his tail a few times in response.
The well-maintained, rich silver tail swaying softly was like a foxtail swaying.
“Then may I ask why you went out all of a sudden today?”
okay! I wanted to say that!
Fenrir’s eyes widened in an attitude that any human would have said.
Fenrir growled and pretended to sniff, then tilted his head.
Surprisingly, Lucio nodded his head as if he understood it.
“Mmm. So the reason Fenrir-sama went out today is because a person he doesn’t like has appeared in Pache.”
right!
Fenrir’s tail twitched again.
“But when I smell it, it doesn’t seem like I’m the kind of person that I like, so that means it’s weird.”
right! right!
Fenrir’s tail twirled like a pinwheel.
Looking at it this way, it looked like Lucio and Fenrir were having a conversation.
But in fact, he could only guess Fenrir’s actions with his trained eyes since childhood.
There was no accurate communication.
Lucio muttered to himself with an embarrassed face.
“I thought you were a person you didn’t like, but you weren’t? What does this mean?”
That was then.
“I will explain that for you.”
At the sound of the unfamiliar boy’s voice, Lucio looked at him.
* * *
Meanwhile, Ethan was astonished to see the male priest next to Fenrir.
“… Luca Rossi?”
Luca Rossi.
He was one of the followers of Saint Eileen a hundred years ago.
What sets him apart from other followers is that Luca Rossi’s madness was real.
‘Crazy. Could it be that he obtained the secret to immortality with that madness and settled in the saint’s hometown?’
Surprised, Ethan came up with an absurd guess.
To that extent, Luca Rossi was a reluctant existence for Ethan as well.
At Ethan’s words, Lucio laughed haha.
“I often hear people say that I look like my grandfather. I am his grandson, Lucio Rossi.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“After the war, my grandfather wanted me to stay in the hometown of St. Eileen, whom I respected. Since then, our family has continued to serve as priests here.”
“Ah yes.”
Ethan suddenly came to his senses.
When you think about it, it was natural.
Hundred years later, there was no way he was still alive.
‘I was out of my mind for a moment.’
Ethan shook his head nervously.
‘But he’s also a bad guy.’
Lucio’s appearance didn’t make people uncomfortable.
On the contrary, it was enough to make people like it.
Ethan had another reason to think so.
‘Why are you needlessly resembling my grandfather? Just looking at that face makes me feel bad because I think of that bastard Luca Rossi. I’m sure there’s even that bastard by my side.’
Luca Rossi. and Fenrir.
These two were bad for Ethan.
After coming to the saint’s hometown, nothing good happened.
But he had no choice but to go to the Empire.
“By the way, you are the kind of person Fenrir-sama said that I don’t like.”
But it was then.
After speaking, Lucio showed a strange behavior.
👌👌👌👌
He sniffed as he walked around Ethan, as Fenrir did.
‘What is this madman doing, not even a dog?’
Ethan shook his eyebrows in shock.
“now… What are you doing?”
It was then that Lucio came to his senses in surprise.
“Large. sorry. I made this mistake because my desire to understand Fenrir-sama’s heart was ahead of me. Normal people don’t understand me.”
Ethan just realized.
‘The madness has been passed down from generation to generation and now I’m obsessed with that bastard!’
Since the saint is dead, the divine water has become a substitute for it.
Ethan looked at Fenrir with a sad expression on his face.
‘Something is unfortunate. Such a troublesome thing sticks to me.’
But Fenrir was yawning leisurely.
Anyway, Ethan showed his identity card to Lucio.
“I don’t know what misunderstanding Shin-soo made, but I’m not a suspicious person.”
Lucio looked at the identity card carefully and returned it to Ethan.
“I thought you were young for a priest, but you are Ethan Priest?”
“Is something wrong?”
“no. I’ve heard a lot about Priest Ethan. He is an unprecedented miracle boy who revived Seong Baek-soo. But I’m not sure if you’re that Ethan priest or not, who’s standing in front of me now.”
Ethan’s eyebrows twitched.
“What is the meaning of this procedure if you have doubts even after you have issued an identity card?”
Ethan’s response was correct.
But for Lucio, there was something that bothered him.
“It’s strange that someone who has just become a saint candid is here. And above all else, if you are that miracle boy, Fenrir cannot dislike you.”
Ethan stared at Fenrir without Lucio.
It was an animal I didn’t like.
‘But as long as this guy is a descendant of Luca Rossi, it’s unlikely he’s connected with a Dark Follower. I can get help right here.’
Ethan turned back and beckoned to Cynthia.
and told Lucio.
“Actually, we ran away from the Dark Followers. That’s why I, as a saint candidate, came to Pache.”
“we? Dark follower? What does this mean?”
“I will explain that.”
At that moment, Cynthia, who was standing outside, came inside.
