Subscriber of the Gods Episode 156
Episode 156. To the Church
“parchment.”
What the apostle had in his arms was a parchment.
Ethan immediately unfolded the parchment.
Although the parchment was full of all sorts of codes, Ethan was able to decipher its contents without difficulty.
“This guy was in charge of the Ibeka Academy?”
I knew who the Twelve Apostles were, but I didn’t know exactly what their duties were.
Who would have thought that the one in charge of Ibeka Academy would be one of the 12 apostles?
‘These orders are to be delivered to the First Order under the command of the Twelve Apostles.’
Basically, the followers of the moon do not know the face of the apostle.
‘Only the most important people in the First Order know.’
Ethan also knew the faces of the Twelve Apostles, having played as a core First Order member in Mephans. However, he had never seen the faces of the top three Apostles.
The top apostles could not meet anyone who was not another apostle.
At that moment, Ethan’s head began to spin rapidly.
“This might make it a little easier.”
Ethan searched the bosom of the twelve apostles again and found the apostle’s sacred relics.
Green gem.
It was the divine water of the dawn meeting called Nokjuok.
“If you have this divine water, you can disguise yourself as one of the 12 apostles.”
For followers who do not know the faces of the 12 Apostles Luna Spirit, this new item is a sign that they are one of the 12 Apostles.
Shh.
Ethan smiled.
“The First Order and the Twelve Apostles.”
Ethan immediately froze the Twelve Apostles and then shattered them into pieces. He had decided to disguise himself as the Twelve Apostles, so there should be no trace of the real Twelve Apostles left in this world.
“Is everyone feeling well?”
Ethan distributed the potion to the elves.
“If you eat it, your strength will come back.”
“Ugh, thank you.”
The elves had complete trust in Ethan.
And on top of that, I ended up converting to Christianity.
“From now on, we will trust you, Moon Force. Since we have received your help, this time we will protect this temple.”
The elves slowly rose from their seats and bowed their heads to Ethan once more.
Ethan smiled slyly at them.
“The goddess will watch over you.”
* * *
As Ethan left the temple, the Inquisitors arrived in front of the temple.
“What is this?”
“There was clearly only a small cave entrance leading underground.”
“Oh, there’s Ethan!”
Jared looked at the temple with a bewildered face and found Ethan and the elves coming out of the temple.
“Ethan! Are you okay?”
“It was a great operation. I didn’t expect you to lure me so perfectly.”
“What the hell is going on here?”
Ethan checked in with the new interrogators, even though he was still tired.
The new interrogators unconsciously tensed up and took a still posture at the sight of Ethan’s gaze.
Ethan nodded, meeting the eyes of the interrogators.
It seemed like a compliment, as if they had done a good job, so the new interrogators unconsciously smiled, the corners of their lips twitching.
They followed Ethan’s instructions and made it a priority to stay in groups of three and avoid getting hurt.
As a result, even though we were fighting a stronger enemy than before, not a single person was injured.
“… … Have you seen the apostles?”
When Jared mentioned the Apostle, the Inquisitors began to visibly tense up.
Ethan turned his head and answered Jared.
“The apostle is dead. I took care of it.”
“……yes?”
Jared looked puzzled at the mention of dealing with the apostle.
I couldn’t believe what I heard, so I asked again without realizing it.
Before Ethan could say anything else, the elves who had come out with him rushed forward and shouted.
“Ethan here has dealt with the apostle!”
“That powerful apostle tried to corrupt this temple and destroy the forest! He tried to drain all the remaining power from this temple of Moon Force!”
“Ethan stopped that!”
“Excuse me? The apostle is dead?”
The elves nodded vigorously at Jared’s words.
“The apostle is dead!”
At those words, the forest inquisitors looked incredulous.
“Oh, how.”
An apostle who was no match for even Kazinska.
Having seen that sight firsthand, the forest inquisitors were deeply engraved with the fear that came from its strength.
“No way. Did Lord Ethan defeat that apostle… by himself?”
“Yes! The apostle was truly terrifying.”
“Ethan risked his life to fight the Apostle. And he won!”
When Jared and the forest inquisitors saw Ethan, Ethan nodded once.
I wanted to answer directly, but I was so tired that I just nodded.
But to the eyes of Jared and the forest inquisitors, that appearance seemed to indicate that the apostle was nothing special.
“A, an apostle… … How did you defeat that apostle by yourself… … .”
The forest inquisitor lowered his head and muttered.
What on earth is that guy talking about?
Suddenly, he came in and shattered all the common sense and knowledge that the forest inquisitor had.
Then Jared raised his hand.
“It’s our victory! Lord Ethan has killed the Apostle! It’s our complete victory!”
When he shouted so loudly, the interrogators shouted in response.
As Jared said, it was a perfect victory for the Inquisition.
* * *
“Thank you for your hard work. I wish you could have stayed a little longer, but that would be just me being greedy.”
Ethan just smiled at Jared’s words.
Deputy Director Benjamin also thought it would be great if Ethan continued to serve as an instructor at the Inquisition.
He was an excellent instructor.
If he were to train new recruits while also training inquisitors who feel inadequate themselves, the Inquisition’s influence would be much greater than it is now.
It is called the Holy Empire and the King’s Hammer, but that is a thing of the past.
I thought that maybe I could regain my lost reputation.
“Ethan, you have the power to completely change any place you go to. I would really appreciate it if you could come back to our interrogation center and help us out again. This is a small gift.
Ethan smiled at the vice president’s gift package.
It seemed as if he had prepared the holy water that Ethan had requested as compensation as a gift.
“thank you.”
“Oh, and the story with the Holy Light Church that you mentioned earlier is over. You can go see Bishop Vincent in the Arien Territory.”
If it was the Arien Territory, it was not too far from the Errant Territory.
‘It’s time to start working.’
“I will never forget this incident. If you need anything at any time, please come to our interrogation office.”
The director bowed his head.
-Jared trusts you completely.
-Your reputation has risen!
-Your chances of survival have increased.
Ethan smiled and greeted the two.
Before leaving the interrogation room, Ethan headed to the training grounds to say his final goodbyes.
There were gathered the rookie interrogators that Ethan had taught.
“Ugh, sob.”
“Are you really leaving?”
After the fight with the Apostle.
Ethan spent another week training the new interrogators.
The newly trained interrogators have grown to the point where they can no longer be called newbies.
“I have taught you everything in the textbook. Now you are fully capable of doing one person’s share.”
“We, we are still lacking!”
“Now is the time to fill in what you lack. You are now proud Inquisitors.
“Oh my, I will think of you as my eternal teacher.”
“Of course I should. I have good ears. So no matter where I am, I can hear stories about you guys.”
Ethan began to call out the names of the 32 interrogators, one by one.
“Alain de la Reine.”
Only after calling Alain de la Reine did Ethan smile.
The interrogators’ eyes turned bright red.
They never thought that they would memorize their names one by one.
Those who were crying could not hold back their tears any longer.
“I have memorized it all, so if I hear that he has died, I will go find him, revive him, and then kill him again.”
It was clearly a joke, but why didn’t it sound like a joke?
“Never let those Moon Followers kill you. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“Yes! I will never die!”
“Okay then.”
Ethan smiled and raised his hand.
“See you next time.”
* * *
Ethan registered the Errant branch with the Wind and Cloud and left straight for the Arien territory.
“The number of saints has increased to 24.”
After checking the gifts that the Inquisition had given me, I put them in my subspace pouch. At the same time, I checked the subspace pouch here and there and organized the items that I needed to use right away.
Arien Territory.
It was a larger area than the Errant Territory, where the branch of the Inquisition was located, and the church of the Holy Light Church was built larger than the Elite branch of the Inquisition.
‘Because Lord Arien is a devout believer of the Holy Light Church.’
Ethan went straight into the Holy Light Church.
“I came to see Bishop Vincent.”
Among the many bishops, Bishop Vincent was chosen because he is the most communicative.
‘The bishops of the Holy Light Church are much more strict than the wizards. They do not accept any suggestions and only try to maintain the status quo. Faithfully and steadily.’
But Bishop Vincent is different.
Vincent, who is currently a bishop but will soon become an archbishop and save countless people, was a very articulate person.
‘He’s someone I can talk business with.’
Of course, business was secondary, and Ethan came to Bishop Vincent for other reasons.
“Please wait a moment. I will speak to the bishop immediately.”
* * *
Bishop Vincent observed the man who had come to see him.
He looked quite young.
A handsome appearance, shining eyes, and two swords on his waist.
At first glance, the lines appear to be thin, but upon closer inspection, they have a solid impression.
“I heard from the director. You defeated the followers of the moon, right? And you defeated the apostle and saved the elves! You have done truly great things. The goddess will look down on you and bless you. Why has someone like you come to me?”
Ethan smiled and greeted Vincent’s question.
“My name is Ethan Wickers, Bishop. I’ve come to make a donation to the Holy Light Order.”
“Donation?”
“yes.”
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, he took out money from his subspace pocket.
One of the reasons he made so much money in business was to donate like this.
‘You can build a good relationship with the Holy Light Church by donating.’
Building a good relationship with the church would increase the chances of meeting the saint. In addition, there was something else to be gained by making a donation.
“Are you saying you’re going to donate all this money?”
“There’s still more.”
As Ethan’s purse continued to appear, the bishop asked in surprise.
“Why do you want to donate so much money?”
In response to the bishop’s question, Ethan put his hands together as if in prayer.
“The reason is that…….”
