I exclaimed slightly. There was no sign of happiness on the monks’ faces, but they were all going to go to heaven anyway when they died.
Since they were going to be very happy in heaven, it seemed like it was okay for them to be a little unhappy now.
However, the problem is···.
“Oh, you can come this way.”
My situation was not much different. I followed the instructions while muttering curses.
I headed to the chapel I had been to before. On the way, I saw blackened places. There were marks around it that looked like they had been burned.
There was a guest in the very back corner of the chapel.
Call.
A man with a disheveled head, as if he hadn’t slept much, glared at me. The area around his crown was pointed.
The abbot’s eyes were fierce. It seemed as if the abbot had forgotten to protect whistleblowers, even though I had asked him to do so.
“Has the Inquisitor been arrested as well?”
I sighed at the reality that whistleblowers are the ones being blamed.
I tried to sit next to the old man, but he put his hand in the seat as if he was trying to stop me.
It seemed like my own way of expressing my dissatisfaction, but it wasn’t my hand anyway.
“···!!”
As I sat on his hand, he raised his left arm and tapped it as if his lungs were broken. His eyes widened and he looked confused.
It was a very subtle change, but it was the biggest expression of emotion shown.
I looked at him for a moment and then lifted my butt slightly. The man who had pulled his hand away looked at me with a look that said, “What kind of a guy is this?”
Since we were in similar positions, I nodded without answering.
Lung-gyeop, who had been nodding reflexively, stopped at an ambiguous point and squinted his eyes.
“Everyone is here. From Honorary Monk Aaron to Inquisitor Joanna. This is going to be a wonderful service.”
At that moment, a sleepy voice rang out from the front. The face of the sergeant turned to him.
“It seems that the abbot never gets tired of worship.”
There was nothing like gossip to help mend ties.
Nod. The sergeant gestured.
Pretending to be lying down and holding one’s hair.
It was as if I had been dragged in while I was sleeping.
“I, the abbot, come to see me every day at dawn when the sun rises.”
The old man’s eyes widened slightly at my answer.
The pitiful-looking Lung-gyeop tapped me on the shoulder. He seemed to have let go as he slyly handed me a cake. He really was a cool person.
I didn’t really want to eat it, but I felt bad about something, so I took it and put it in my mouth. The cake was warm, so I felt bad.
“Oh, please use this.”
I held out the fluffy cloth I had brought for worship. It was a cushion made of quite good material.
The eyes of the sergeant who saw him grew slightly wider. To others, it might not seem like much, but I, who was now quite used to him, could recognize him. It was a moved face.
I gently placed the cushion behind Lung-Gyeop’s neck. Lung-Gyeop tilted his neck back slightly and nodded his head slightly. He looked satisfied.
‘Cool.’
The old man was a simple and generous man, so he was a quick-witted man who could get over trivial things with just a little bit of effort.
“Soon, it will be a sacred day. It is the day when the sun god defeated the evil spirits for the sake of living things, so everyone should cleanse themselves and pray twice as much as usual. In addition, I plan to hold a festival that everyone can enjoy to celebrate the sacred day. First, read the Bible quickly and pray for a long time… and….”
My eyes closed automatically at the tired voice that followed. Sleep came naturally.
‘It’s a holy day. Is it already like that?’
Holy Day was similar to Christmas, but more violent and fiery, as befits the medieval gnomes. It was a sight for so passionate a show for the guards.
Last year, I caught some drunk guys and robbed them of the money, and I drank and drank with Berman, Brick, Quarter, Pool, and Kel.
‘It’s going to be busy this year.’
I muttered quietly and shook my head.
The abbot seemed to be planning a festival to celebrate the holy day, but such a horrible festival, featuring Bible readings as its main event, could not possibly be popular.
However, the monks applauded as if they had been brainwashed. The abbot ignored him and moved on.
“Today’s service will be led by Father Blian. Father Blian.”
At the abbot’s call, the praise vending machine came forward. The praise vending machine had lost weight and was now quite handsome.
The praise machine looked around the room with an expression of piety that did not suit him. The abbot handed the praise machine a Bible.
I closed my eyes tightly as I looked at those two. I was able to sleep well in the chapel.
“···This is the end of today’s service.”
At that moment, the door opened with a loud noise. In the midst of the silence, the door opened roughly, drawing everyone’s attention.
What came through that open door was-.
“The Abbot of Brighton.”
She was a middle-aged woman with a slender figure. The woman, who resembled the abbot, stared at him with a cold gaze.
“······Brahmin Holy Investigator.”
The abbot answered in a trembling voice.
The subtle atmosphere between the two and their strangely similar faces.
‘Looking at you, you’re siblings.’
They seemed to be brothers.
“I am the Divine Inquisitor Brahmins. I have come to find out the truth about Cardinal Gobert. Your answers to the questions I will ask you from now on must be true, without a single lie.”
The woman spoke firmly, like a judge passing sentence. Behind the woman, men in familiar armor rushed in.
It was the Knights Templar. There were three Knights Templar, and among them was a mini-plague.
At that moment, our eyes met and I waved slightly, but Mini Lunggyup avoided eye contact. It seemed like he was very embarrassed.
“If you are caught giving false testimony or concealing something, it will not end with excommunication.”
The woman who finished speaking looked around the room with a cold gaze.
The sight of the Knights Templar and the Inquisitors coming in next to them was just like the search and seizure I saw on the news.
‘Investigation before the meeting of the elders…’
It was only natural that such a strong reaction would follow when the cardinal was revealed to be the great devil. However, the timing was strange.
It could be a coincidence, but it’s my habit to assume the worst.
At that moment, the abbot’s delicate face appeared.
Looking at that expression, the abbot’s scripture that the raccoon had emphasized came to mind.
The abbot had an expression that showed that he had nothing to lose, but there was no need to make a fuss.
‘anyhow.’
I clicked my tongue and got up from my seat. Everyone was still, but when I suddenly stood up, everyone’s attention was focused on me.
The female divine investigator stared at me with eyes that looked exactly like the abbess’s. It looked as if she was about to recite a prayer at any moment.
“Aaron, Honorary Monk. Brahmins is a Divine Inquisitor. He is in a position to question and judge even cardinals. For now, bear with it.”
The abbot spoke quickly with a frightened look on his face. He seemed worried about what I might say.
“What’s that over there?”
The man asked with a squint in his eyes, looking very much like the abbot.
I looked at him and opened my mouth.
“I need to take a dump.”
The bastard’s face immediately crumpled at my answer. The mini-lung next to him grabbed my nose.
“···What about you?”
The guy turned his gaze to me and asked. When I turned my head to him, Lunggyup was waving his hand.
“Me too, shit.”
The sergeant spoke confidently. Mini’s face turned red with embarrassment. The other knights laughed out loud.
‘This guy really seems to want to drink.’
I looked at the slightly frowning Lung-gyeop and muttered quietly.
***
‘···This sucks.’
Gesher Wind, of the Eastern Management Agency, muttered a curse and squeezed his eyes shut.
The problem was the new director. If the previous director was too lazy and that was the problem, the problem was that this director was too competent.
Only a few days after taking office, Avery pointed out the reports that had been piling up.
The amount of information the administration had was enormous.
The pile of papers alone would fill up an entire drawer with space to spare, but Avery was not satisfied with reading them all in that short time, so he pointed out the flaws.
For that reason, Gesher Wind continued to organize in his sunless office.
– The leader of the meeting, the great darkness advances towards Cassidy. In response, the imperial knight Kurtun is dispatched, but is stopped by a Cassidy tournament participant named Deokgu. After that, Deokgu is destroyed by the great darkness. The rise of the black blood is expected.
– In Karzan, the Black Bloods declared war on the Imperial Family, after which the Imperial Army was dispatched and the Black Bloods were destroyed.
– Pushes the hypocrites east by order of the Central Administration. Despite considerable investment, the expected yield is not achieved. He is blocked by Cardinal Gobert, who is quickly heading to Cassadic.
– Cardinal Gobert, who was heading to Cathedic, is revealed to be the king of the heretics. Cardinal Gobert is defeated by the combined attack of the Knights of the Temple of Johelia and the Inquisitors in Cathedic. Not even a trace of him remains.
As I was organizing the report, I noticed that Cassidyck was included in every major incident that had occurred in the East.
Even Karzan was the closest city to Cassadic.
At the time, former Director Ben Hardt was angry and told me not to report on the East anymore, and even though ‘great luck’ was at work in each case, there was a good reason for it, so I took it lightly.
However, when I organized this into a lump, a strange thing appeared as a stem. And that stem was none other than Cassidy.
‘If we had experienced just one of these, the castle would have collapsed, but instead of being ruined, we actually improved in the process.’
Gesher Wind’s eyebrows furrowed. Cassidy’s reputation had risen to an unprecedented level. It was not a castle in crisis, but a castle that had discovered silver mines one after another.
‘···Come to think of it, there’s no story about someone who received Mana’s love dying yet?’
There was only a report that ‘Mana’s Beloved One’, who should have exploded a long time ago, was healthier than before.
‘There’s something in Cassidy.’
The sense of foreboding became clear. Gesher Wind closed his eyes for a moment to organize the information, then shook his finger. The pen moved on its own and began to write.
All the information I had read was already in my head, so I didn’t need to review it again.
‘The Cassadic characters include Lord Fulpouts, Constable William, Secretary Nova, Knights Adela, Adolf, Delfran, and······.’
Gesher Wind hesitated for a moment whether he should put his name on it.
However, Avery’s order to report everything without exception came to mind.
‘A young girl is bragging about being promoted so quickly…’
Gesher Wind snapped his fingers, gritting his teeth. He was going to write down all the information he wanted. Starting with the maid, the names of the soldiers, and then…
‘Try hard.’
Gesher Wind twitched the corners of his mouth and snapped his fingers.
At the end of the fully written paper were written the words, ‘Foreign Guard 4th Division Captain Aaron’.
