Subscriber of the Gods Episode 268
Episode 268. Prepare quietly. Revenge like a madman.
A beautiful building was going up in the capital of the Holy Empire.
At first glance, it looked like a temple, but no one could have imagined that a temple dedicated to another god would be built in the capital city where the Holy Light Church’s Vatican is located.
“yes?”
“It is said to be a temple that worships Moon Force.”
“Moon Force? No, a temple to another god is being built in the capital where the Vatican, the national religion, is located. How did this come about? Whose idea was it? If His Majesty finds out, it won’t end with just hanging his head.”
“that is…….”
Baron Madlan, the imperial official in charge of the overall command of the construction, looked puzzled.
“By His Majesty the Emperor’s orders.”
“Your Majesty’s orders?”
“Yes, that’s right. There’s nothing more to say. We’re just doing what we’re told.”
An archbishop approached the bewildered congregation of the Holy Light.
“Welcome to our Holy Light Church.”
“… …Archbishop?”
“The person who believes in this Moon Force is said to be Ethan Wickers. Some of you may have heard of him, right?”
“… … It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.”
“He is the honorary bishop of our Holy Light Church. He is the eldest son of the Wickers family and an outstanding businessman who has been involved in various businesses and has donated a lot to our Holy Light Church.”
The followers of the Holy Light Church were in an uproar at the archbishop’s words.
It was a religion that the honorary bishop believed in, and even if His Majesty the Emperor had given his permission, it was something that could not be tolerated.
How could one possibly acknowledge the establishment of a temple of another religion in the capital city where the Holy Light Church, the state religion of the Holy Empire, is headquartered?
“Even though it is His Majesty’s order… … .”
“everyone.”
Then, behind the archbishop, a man wearing neat clothes and two simple badges walked out.
“Your Excellency!”
“I understand that you are all confused. That is why I spoke to His Majesty first. And I just received His Majesty’s answer.”
The cardinal said.
“He said he would cheer for our friend, Ethan Wickers.”
“Sir, is this Your Majesty speaking?”
“That’s right. His Majesty has given permission. So everyone, let your guard down. And… … .”
The cardinal smiled and gestured to Baron Madelan.
“Welcome our new friend. And congratulations. Our goddess has a new friend.”

Legia’s training was scheduled to last exactly one month.
But now, two weeks later.
“Hmm!”
Legia Malcher was smiling with considerable satisfaction as he looked at the masterpiece he had created.
“Jerika, Shudlen.”
“Yes, Master!”
Legia recalled when she first met these two people.
He had good eyes, but he wasn’t using his abilities properly.
But he definitely had potential, so Ethan Wickers must have taken it upon himself to train him.
“Your master will be satisfied with this. No, he might even be surprised.”
Yeerika smiled at the thought that Ethan might be surprised. Shudlen snorted and tensed up his whole body.
They already knew.
That my physical condition has clearly changed while receiving training from Legia.
The one who felt the change the most was Yereka.
After collecting my grandfather’s legacy from the magic tower, I tried to use the magic in my head myself, but it didn’t work as I wanted.
If I had to force myself to use it, I could, but my body couldn’t handle it.
However, now that I have received Legia’s education, I can freely use the mana within my body.
Of course, Ethan’s release from the ban also completely lifted the physical limitations. However, it was Legia who made it possible for him to control that body.
Legia had an incredible talent for manipulating mana.
Fine-grained control.
Legia was one of the few teachers, perhaps the only one, who could teach Yeerika the fine control she needed.
Because of Ethan’s extinction disorder, it is difficult to teach him the fine control of mana.
“I don’t know when I’ll be back, though.”
Legia looked at the two, crossing her arms.
To be honest, I was surprised several times while teaching both of them. They were both quite interesting students.
‘It probably wasn’t that much of a burden as I had expected.’
Legia was confident that students who passed through his hands would become stronger.
I have met countless talented people and talents and taught them all perfectly.
If you ask those you have taught who their teacher is, wouldn’t they proudly tell you their name?
Even Princess Evangeline, who currently holds the greatest influence within the palace, respects Legia as her teacher.
But Ethan was different.
Ethan, whom I saw at the training, clearly had definite talent.
But what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, he revealed his true self without hesitation.
It is a palace like a den where you have to be careful about every word you say and every action you take.
As soon as Ethan arrived here, he gained influence by curing the princess’s illness, and soon gained the emperor’s recognition.
It is said that he even received the Pope’s approval just before.
These two were the talents that Ethan brought with him.
‘That’s why it became a burden.’
It would have been satisfactory to have taught him to this extent, but I was worried that it might not be satisfactory to Ethan, which held me back.
That’s why Legia stayed up all night for the first time in a long while, planning and re-planning the curriculum to teach them.
It was intended to clearly awaken the talents they possessed.
“I’m a little tired. It’s been a while since I stayed up all night.”
“Thank you very much, teacher.”
“Thank you!”
“If you are so grateful, I will make an effort to have news of you reach this palace later.”
Legia said with a smile.
And soon after, Ethan arrived at the palace.
“You’re here, Mr. Ethan.”
Legia smiled faintly. When she saw Ethan, she smiled without realizing it. In fact, she was anxious but also excited.
It’s exactly two weeks.
In the span of two weeks, Yeerika and Schudlen had completely changed.
“Have you finished your work? Even though I’m sitting here, I can hear all sorts of news outside, but your story is the loudest of all. How on earth did you endure it during the training session?”
Ethan just smiled at Legia’s words.
“I was lucky. I was able to help the Pope finish up some of the work he had already done. Thanks to that, I learned a lot about extinction.”
Legia opened her eyes wide at Ethan’s words.
“It’s nice to hear that. Does that give you hope? No, I can tell just by looking at your expression.”
Legia said.
“Okay, I’ve trained your two escorts just like Mr. Ethan said. Let’s take a look.”
At Legia’s words, Ethan looked at Yeriqa and Shudlen.
“I worked hard. Tell me anything. I can now use all of Grandpa’s magic.”
“I am now able to carry Ethan from one end of the continent to the other. You can ride on my back as much as you want.”
Shudlen turned around and stuck his back out.
‘That’s incredible.’
Ethan was inwardly very surprised when he saw those two people.
‘It’s only natural that my skills would improve since I asked Legia directly. To have achieved this much in just two weeks is beyond my expectations.’
The period Ethan had envisioned was about a month.
However, Legia had grown these two almost to their limits in just half a month.
‘Especially Yeerika, she was a difficult opponent for me to teach directly.’
Even if you don’t know Shudlen, Yeerika is a typical genius magician.
‘Because I don’t have much mana right now.’
Because of this, detailed control is also impossible.
That’s why I asked Legia to educate the two of them.
Sigh-.
Ethan approached the two men and patted them on the back.
“Good work.”
Yeri and Shudlen looked at Ethan with expressions full of emotion.
It was so hard to keep up with Legia’s classes for two weeks.
But all my fatigue disappeared at Ethan’s words of thanks for his hard work.
“You all worked really hard. Thank you, Lady Legia. Both of you have become incomparably stronger than when you first came. If it weren’t for Lady Legia, I wouldn’t have been able to bring out their potential to this extent.”
When Ethan bowed his head in greeting, the corners of Legia’s mouth went up.
“Well, it was nothing. Hahaha-.”
It was a thank you note that she had received countless times. But Ethan’s thank you note had a greater impact on Legia.
“So, are you going to leave now?”
“Yes, it’s a little early, but the training of the two escorts, which was the original purpose, has been completed successfully. Now, I plan to go and do what I have to do.”
“Come back anytime. I won’t have to open the door for you anymore. You’ve got some solid supporters.”
Ethan nodded at Legia’s words.
“That’s right. Everyone in the palace is so kind, I’ll definitely come back again.”
Legia laughed in vain after hearing Ethan’s words.
The people in the palace are kind.
I thought that maybe only Ethan could say that.
* * *
“They’ve both gotten pretty solid, right?”
“Hmm, to be honest, I’ve been trying my best, but Master Ethan seems to have gotten a lot stronger than before.”
“Do you look like you don’t need an escort?”
At those words, Schudlen shook his head.
“I think I can still carry you.”
Although he was said to be much stronger than before, Ethan was still sick.
The strengthened Shudlen could clearly feel that point.
It was possible because I had been watching Ethan for a long time.
“You said you had something to do. What was it?”
At Yeorika’s words, Ethan tapped Yeorika on both shoulders.
“Let’s get started now. Everything is ready.”
“Is this the beginning?”
“plural.”
Ethan said briefly.
“You can tell from the tower, right? Which of the twelve constellations has cornered Lady Hecate?”
At those words, Yeorika’s fist shook slightly.
“Everything is ready. Now all that remains is revenge.”
Ethan said so and explained what preparations are currently in place.
The Twelve Stars were a powerful force. It took a lot of preparation to get revenge on them.
“Officially, the Wickus Estate has received the seal of Princess Evangeline. I have also requested His Majesty the Emperor to build a temple for my God in the capital. In addition, I have had good discussions with His Holiness the Pope. We have been able to build a branch of the Holy Light Church in our Wickus Estate.”
It was said that they had developed good relationships with those who were in higher positions than them in order to stand against the Twelve Stars.
Planning is easy, but Yeerika knew very well how difficult it was to achieve it.
The moment I heard it, it gave me goosebumps.
“So this is how you get revenge.”
It’s not like you just bump into things.
It’s something you do when you’re ready to handle everything.
Yereka muttered as she watched Ethan’s back.
If I hadn’t met Ethan, I would have started my revenge with only emotions, while being only moderately strong.
But I was able to control my emotions because Ethan was by my side.
Ethan smiled faintly as he saw Yerikha’s expression.
“Prepare quietly, and take revenge like a madman.”
