Chapter 44 – Back to Ruben (1)
At the same time as she was speechless, Arya’s spirit came out once again.
Arya opened her mouth with the returning spirit.
“・・・・・ Anything other than money?”
“Anything other than money?”
Arya spoke very carefully.
“The position of an honorary saint…?”
“I do not need.”
But Xian refused at once.
As if it wasn’t worth worrying about.
“Wait a minute! This is not given to anyone. You can be treated like an archbishop in the Holy Empire. You can also ask for help from the Church at any time.”
Besides, it was actually an ‘honorary’ position that had nothing to do with the church.
You don’t have to fulfill your duties as a saint either.
There is really no obligation.
A position with only rights.
That’s why it was a position that would not be given without a recommendation of cardinal rank or higher.
And because of that, it was a hidden card of its own from Arya’s point of view.
however.
“Honorary saints are plague. Even if I give you the position of Pope, I don’t need it.”
Sian didn’t even worry.
“·······”
Arya was really dumbfounded.
The position of honorary saint is an honorable position even within the Holy Empire.
Above all, it was a position that could not be bought even for ten million won.
In fact, nobles who wanted to be famous had been lobbying a lot to be given the position of an honorary saint.
It was a position that others were eager to take.
But what about Xian…
“So how much?”
I’ll just take the money
for the first time since birth
No, it was probably the first time in the history of the Holy Empire.
And Xian had no real thoughts.
A knight who handles magic is a priest.
What kind of nonsense do you mean?
It was clear that it would be disgusting to receive it.
“No, why the hell is a position that other people are so eager to get?”
“That is a different person. I am not.”
“Is it because you don’t know how honorable a position is to be an honorary saint?”
“Honor is a piece of cake. i don’t need it and you. Are you going to keep talking about something else?”
Arya had nothing more to say.
really···.
I’m thinking of getting it for real money.
“I’ll give you 50,000 gold.”
“okay. I will have to throw this away.”
Sian turned his back without hesitation.
“100,000!”
Then, Xian’s movement stopped.
But the expression I looked at was ‘only…?’ was evident.
“no more! I only received 100,000 gold for travel expenses.”
“You get 100,000 gold for your travel expenses?”
Are you buying a local lot and traveling?
After all, a saintess is a saintess.
“Still, 100,000 gold is too cheap…”
It was a bit of a waste to pass 100,000 gold.
However, it seemed that he only had 100,000 gold.
Of course, it would have meant that the money he had right now was 100,000 gold.
Couldn’t it be that the wealth of the Holy Empire was only 100,000 gold?
And Aria is a holy woman whose position is unmatched even within the Holy Empire.
If you press a little more.
Perhaps more gold could be ripped off.
But that’s not an aria.
It was like ripping off the money against the Holy Empire.
It wasn’t difficult to tear it off.
But if you do, you’ll get involved with the Holy Empire.
That’s on the bad side too.
That’s why it would be better to end it in the Aria line.
‘Should I just rip it off?’
What is there to be honest about?
Even now, in a way, isn’t it like ripping off the legacy of the imperial family?
What can’t be called the Holy Empire…
‘Oh, no.’
But Xian quickly shook his head.
Because I came up with a better idea.
“good. 100,000 gold.”
Aria raised her eyes at Xian’s answer.
And in case Xian would change his words, he hurriedly opened his mouth.
“okay. If we get out of here—”
“under.”
But Xian’s words were one beat faster.
Of course, Xian had no intention of ending at 100,000 gold.
Xian went on to say more.
“I’ll give you this if you accept the two conditions.”
“······ what is that.”
Xian spread one of his right index fingers and said.
“first. What happened here in the hall. Wherever you go, don’t open your mouth.”
It included several things.
The fact that Leah was in the hall.
And the fact that Sian and Arnaise are involved.
Finally, to the fact that Xian robbed various miscarriages.
“If you get this, you’re also an accomplice to the grave robbers, right?”
“·······”
In fact, Arya had received permission from the crown prince.
However, if I had to argue, Xian’s words were not wrong again.
Above all, that ghost named Leah.
If the ghost was Charlotte’s sister, it wasn’t actually robbery.
Of course, it was very surprising that Xian and Arnaise from a thousand years ago were related in some way, but…
“······ okay.”
Arya nodded.
Xian spoke again.
“And honestly. Is it too cheap to hand over this inheritance for 100,000 gold?”
Even Arya acknowledged that.
That is the legacy left by Charlotte the Great.
100,000 gold was literally free.
Wasn’t that why he was trying to buy it not with money, but with the position of an honorary saint?
Xian looked at Arya and said.
“Pay the rest of the shortfall with your body.”
“With my body…?”
Arya stuns herself! seemed to fall
And he looked at Xi’an with the same gaze as if he were looking at the trash of the world.
“Are you crazy?!”
“why? no? You said you could do something other than money just now?”
“Say that now! Of course—!”
“Then what? I can’t help it.”
Xian jerked and turned around.
“you really!”
Arya cried and raised her divine power.
I felt like if I didn’t slap that bastard on the back of the head right away, my stomach would explode.
But that’s for a while.
flinch!
Arya immediately scattered the divine power she raised.
That’s just what it is.
Because I felt Leah’s energy somewhere!
appearance was not visible.
However, this terrible killing that I feel now.
It was as if he would kill himself if he touched Xian!
Arya gently lowered her eyes.
And I thought about it for a long time.
Demon Detector.
That was something absolutely necessary.
A demon from a thousand years ago.
I had to make sure they were resurrected.
This is directly related to the crisis of the entire continent.
I couldn’t give up like this.
Arya opened her mouth slowly.
“Uh, how…”
Arya’s face turned red.
“How can I… do it…”
Xian grinned and said.
“Follow me.”
#
Arya was able to follow Xian out of the imperial palace.
When I left the imperial palace, I briefly met Crown Prince Conrad.
However, I was able to get out of the seat by saying that there was an urgent matter.
Conrad was puzzled.
Soon after, he secretly helped Xian and Arya to go out to the imperial palace.
So, without any other incident.
Xian and Arya were able to get out of the imperial palace.
Xian, who came out of the imperial palace, moved on without saying a word.
Arya silently followed the proposal with her face covered.
I was very curious about where it was going.
Arya couldn’t bear to ask.
how long did it take
Xian’s footsteps stopped.
And the place where Xian’s footsteps stopped.
“… a slum?”
It was a slum located in the capital of the empire.
Xian stood in front of a shabby house in the slums.
And without hesitation, he entered the house.
Why are you here…?
The moment I thought of it.
“What are you doing? It’s not coming in.”
Xian stuck out his head and urged Aria.
Arya followed Xian into the house.
Arya enters the house.
Contrary to the exterior, the interior was not so shabby.
Xi’an is like my home.
He said, stepping inside.
“Jerry. Are you inside?”
It seems to be the house of a man named Jerry.
As expected, someone walked out of the room.
long haired beauty.
She looked like the daughter of a well-known aristocratic family…
“Lord…?”
“Lord?”
Arya tilted her head.
That’s why the title of lord.
it’s not for yourself
It must have been directed towards Xi’an.
That means it is.
‘Is this the lord in charge of a territory?’
Arya looked at Xian with a blank gaze.
“uh? Was Amelia there too?”
“Ah yes. I was preparing to leave for Leuven when the lord returns.”
Xian nodded.
“What about Jerry?”
“I am in the room.”
“How are you?”
Amelia’s expression darkened at Xian’s question.
And after a little pause, he slowly opened his mouth.
“A lot… not good. It just keeps getting worse. I’m worried that there will be a lot of trouble going to Leuven.”
“hmm···.”
Xian let out a small breath.
After a while, he turned his head slightly and spoke to Arya.
“Did you hear?”
“·······”
Arya had nothing to say.
And Amelia found such an aria.
“Have you had guests?”
Amelia looked up and looked at Arya.
Long platinum blonde hair and perfect features.
A transcendent beauty worthy of being called a miracle.
“Stop, stand, saintess?!?!”
Amelia, who had figured out Arya’s identity, looked astonished.
After a while, he looked at Xian with astonished eyes.
“What, what?!”
“Saint.”
“I know that too!!”
who doesn’t know that
The question is why the saintess is here, in the slums!
“Sir, why is the saintess here?!”
Amelia asked.
“I brought them.”
Xian replied.
“·······”
Amelia wanted something.
I really wanted something!
No, that’s the answer…
And just what, what?
just bring me
What the hell does this mean!
The saint was literally a saint.
There is no one on the continent who does not know its name.
I wanted to bring it, but it wasn’t something I could bring!
The one with the strongest divine power in the history of the Holy Empire.
Her name is Muriel’s reincarnation.
But what about Xi’an now…
“What are you standing around for? It’s not coming in.”
Isn’t it treating the saintess like some kind of country woman?
“Ah, ah, no…! Eh, what is this…!”
Amelia froze with her mouth open.
‘Looks like it’s broken again.’
Sian passed Amelia carelessly.
Xian entered the room like that.
As Amelia said, Jerry was inside.
In those few days, Jerry had become emaciated.
“Hey, my lord… You are here.”
Xian gestured that it was okay to Jerry, who was trying to set an example.
Then I looked at Jerry’s mother lying on the bed.
surely···.
It looked more serious than I had seen before.
Before long, Arya followed after Xian.
Xian said to Arya.
“I’m Jerry’s mother. The disease has been getting worse since a few years ago, and recently it has gotten worse.”
Arya stared blankly at Xian’s face.
And what Xian said earlier to fill with your body.
It was only then that Arya could properly grasp its meaning.
Arya calmly looked at Jerry’s mother.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry looked shocked when he figured out Arya’s identity.
“how is it. Can you cure it?”
“It’s not difficult.”
No, it was difficult.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry’s mother, who looked at it, was in a really serious condition.
I don’t know, but it would have been impossible even with the power of a tolerable priest.
However, Arya’s divine power was not to the extent that it was impossible to heal.
It wasn’t called Muriel’s reincarnation for nothing.
“Phew, I’m glad. Then treat me right away.”
Arya didn’t answer.
I just stare blankly at Xian.
Before long, Arya approached Jerry’s mother.
Then, he gently placed his hand over her body.
aaa!!
The tremendous divine power that bursts out with him.
It was even greater than the divine power when dealing with Leah.
‘Woo-wook…!’
Because of that, Xi’an was busy trying to appease the rampaging Magi.
I’m not kidding, I felt like I was going to vomit right away.
But I persevered with all my might.
Cold sweat trickled down Arya’s cheeks.
Gi Aria, who was feeling dizzy, stumbled.
Even with Arya’s power, it seems to be a very difficult task.
How much time had passed like that?
The bursting light gradually faded.
Xian watched the scene silently.
people often.
“Uh, Mom…?”
The saintess is called a living miracle.
Muriel’s reincarnation.
A noble being with the strongest divine power in the history of the Holy Empire.
Sian didn’t really believe that, though.
“J-Jerry…?”
“mom!”
I decided to admit it a little bit this time.
#
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry’s mother didn’t seem to know what was going on.
So I asked Jerry about the situation.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry could only cry.
Xian took Arya and went out of the room for a while.
I needed to calm down Jerry and Jerry’s mother.
Arya seemed to need some rest too.
When they went outside, Amelia was still broken.
“ah···? Ahh···??”
Somehow, this time it was a bit harsh.
Nonetheless, from experience.
If you leave it like that, it will fix itself.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just sit in the right spot and wait.
Click.
The door to the room opened, revealing Jerry.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry didn’t say anything.
Two puffy, swollen eyes lay on the floor.
“I… I…”
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry wept and opened his mouth.
After crying so much, do you have the strength to cry again?
Took. Tutuk.
Hot tears flowed from between the bowed heads.
“What am I… what is that… what the hell…. What the hell…”
dump.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry sat down on the floor.
I had a runny nose that I couldn’t control.
The weeping look on his face was truly unappealing.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry was no fool.
so i didn’t know
That Arya is a noble saint of the Holy Empire.
That such a noble saintess does not have Ollie in such a slum.
Also, there was no reason to treat his mother so hard.
no matter what in the world
That miracles don’t happen.
Even so, there is only one reason why this miraculous thing happened now.
no.
only one.
“My lord… hi! Really… Thank you very much, my lord… Kkeuhhhhh…!”
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry is like that
cried endlessly.
and.
Tring!
“you! What kind of magic are you using!”
The mobile lord’s notification window came to mind.
《The loyalty of a young man towards you has created a new measure of cause and effect!》
《Achievement, ‘My life, to Ruben.’ Attainment!”
《Achievement Reward – Young Ji-min’s inherent potential explodes!》
《He will never betray you no matter what!》
《He will do anything you command!》
The notification window of a smartphone that pops up in an instant.
Xian was dazed for a while.
I put the smart phone back into my arms.
and.
Arya is now quite confused.
No, should I say this is confusing?
Arya quietly looked up.
With that perspective, I saw Xian’s figure.
The image of soothing a crying boy.
What is the aristocrat that Arya has seen so far?
It was a different term for those with high nose bridges.
And the people who swallowed saliva while scanning Arya’s face and body.
Although not all nobles were like that.
Almost all nobles were like that.
And Xian was a little… different, I thought.
Exactly, there was no luck in the other sense.
But in the end, nobles are nobles.
I thought it wouldn’t deviate much from that framework.
So when I said to fill it with my body.
Didn’t you have such a misunderstanding?
however···.
All of that is for my people.
Eventually, Xian let Jerry into the room.
Then Xian came up to Arya and said.
“Good job.”
It’s the first thing I hear after fighting.
Is it because of that?
It wasn’t a very bad feeling.
Arya stared blankly at Xian.
Then, without knowing it, I asked.
“Isn’t it worth it?”
“Such a waste? what?”
“I mean stuffing it with my body.”
It was a word that could be misunderstood.
There were no words that came to mind.
Fortunately, however, the meaning seemed to have been conveyed.
“no? at all. use you like this Where else can it be used?”
It wasn’t wrong, of course, but…
Where else can you write?
The saintess’ uses were truly limitless.
Not just divine power, but using that fame.
Or you can borrow the power of the Holy Empire.
if not
“… Asking for a date… or something?”
Arya murmured in a crawling voice.
“… are you crazy?”
Xian’s impression was distorted.
It looked like he was really talking about something crazy.
No, is that really what you say in your sane mind?
In any case, she was a saint with a strange mental mind that was beyond redemption.
‘Well, that’s why Leah must have won it.’
Sian shook his head and shook his head.
Of course, Xi’an did not know the value of Arya.
However, to Xian, Jerry’s value was far greater than that.
Elodie’s Lab Lv.1.
From nob le mt l. co m
Jerry was a talent to be active as a researcher there.
If Jerry wasn’t there, the research would have to be completed immediately.
The price of the immediate completion ticket per research was an average of 2,000 gold.
If you add up everything you’re currently researching…
Roughly calculated, it was tens of thousands of gold.
But what about future research?
Hundreds of thousands, of course, millions of gold was just a snap.
And Sian was thinking of telling Jerry about Elodie’s knowledge as well.
The problem was that there was a risk that such Jerry could turn his back on Xian at any time.
But is it so completely on the side of Xi’an?
not worth it
If it was a gain, it was a dog’s gain.
More than anything if Jerry’s mother keeps getting sick.
The time to go to Leuven was bound to be delayed.
Then, it was quite embarrassing in the position of having to bring Leia to Ruben as soon as possible.
I never thought that it was a waste in many ways.
More than anything.
The look of Jerry who was crying to leave the world.
‘Sian, love people, have pity for them, and be for them. This is the way Xian can live like an aristocrat.’
These were the words Xian’s mother, Cecile, had always told Xian.
In the past, young Xian couldn’t protect such a mother.
I didn’t know how my mother felt when she was going through hellish days.
That’s why I had to look helplessly at my mother who had turned into a cold corpse.
That pain, that pain.
Because I know better than anyone what it is like.
Xian never regretted the choice he made now.
“Stop talking crazy. Well, here’s the promise. Don’t forget to deposit the 100,000 gold separately.”
Xian gave Arya the Demon Detector.
“Now, there will be no debt between us. let’s never see each other again know? Even if you run into each other on the road, don’t act like you know each other.”
Sian turned his back without hesitation.
Is it because it was next to the divine power?
It was because I wasn’t feeling very well.
Looking at Arya’s face, it seems like it’s getting worse.
Arya stared blankly at Xian.
If it’s usual, ‘I’ll do it!’ It was Aria who must have shouted.
But why?
“·······”
This time, his words and actions were quite savage.
No, he hates me so much because I’m not good at anything.
Other men are eager to mix things up somehow.
How many people come across the continent to see my face at least once?
Do you know how many love letters that come to me a day?
“Are you really not watching?”
“uh. So bye.”
“Can I go then?”
“There is no send-off.”
It was Xian who spoke without even looking at him.
Arya felt very sad.
narrow eyebrows.
Before long, Arya turned around and walked out the door.
and.
bang!
There was a sound like a door breaking and Arya left.
“Anyway, with my temper head.”
Xian clicked his tongue and kicked it.
“Gwa, are you okay…? Can I send it like that?”
Amelia, who had already been fixed, asked anxiously.
Sian waved his hand and waved it nonchalantly.
“are you okay. And the more involved you get, the more tired you get.”
anyway.
With this, all the celebrations for the National Foundation Day have come to an end.
The job would have been much better.
now
It was time to return to Leuven.
‘Previously···!’
Sian sneakily checked the gold coins in the inventory.
A mouth that keeps twitching.
Xian took out his smart phone.
