Episode 33.
“She is a saint. “Be polite.”
Aiden said that and lowered his head.
Daryl couldn’t believe his ears. When I saw Aiden’s attitude, I came to my senses.
When I looked closely, I could not tell that it was a man. Daryl opened his eyes wide. A pretty boy was a saint. To him, it was the sound of the sky falling.
This is because the saints of this world were as noble as the royal family, and commoners were not allowed to even look at them or talk to them.
What Daryl had just done was so disrespectful that it was not surprising at all.
He immediately hit his knee on the floor.
“I dared to be rude because I didn’t know him. “I will repay you with my life.”
In fact, I had no intention of dying at all. It was a courtesy sound.
Yuriel was quite embarrassed. Daryl’s eyes were quite explicit a moment ago. It was the first time she had ever seen such an expression.
However, it was rumored that Yuriel’s personality was as beautiful as her beauty.
If Daryl had done that to another saint, he might have really died, but he was lucky this time.
Yuriel took a deep breath and calmed her shocked heart.
Then he spoke in a soft voice.
“wake up. “If we kill them all for that reason, who will survive?”
Yuriel smiled slightly and looked at Aiden.
“Isn’t that right? “Lord Iden.”
It felt like a thorn mixed in the words was pricking Aiden. It may be an illusion.
Aiden cleared his throat slightly.
“God said that the more mercy you give, the greater it will come back to you. “Please stop standing there and come inside.”
Iden glanced at Euron and he quickly guided the saint.
Yuriel sat down on the sofa. Aiden was also seated across from him, and Sein and Yona took their seats.
“Thank you for your hard work coming this long way.”
Yuriel shook his head slowly.
“It was an unfamiliar experience, but it wasn’t that bad.”
I meant it. Until now, Yuriel had only stayed at his home in Sachili or at the religious order, and the number of times he had ventured out was only a handful.
I was also feeling a little bit of the excitement of the immorality of deviation.
“Having said that makes me feel a lot more at ease. “But what excuse did you make to come out?”
She smiled a little bitterly.
“······I think everyone has entered the funeral ceremony.”
A worship service is a ritual in which a person stays in a chapel and prays repeatedly for as little as a week or as long as a month.
He didn’t eat or sleep, and no one came to visit him. Even toileting had to be done in that narrow, secret room.
It was a practice performed by saints and priests to increase their divine power.
“I’m really bad, right?”
In some ways, Uriel’s actions were nothing short of blasphemy.
Remorse was still gnawing at her heart.
However, Uriel could not shake off the suspicion that Aiden had placed on her.
How can a paladin who does not believe in God handle divine power?
Also, is it true that Bacheksar is truly omnipotent?
The latter was actually a question that the person named Yuriel had been harboring from the beginning.
It’s the same in the original. In the beginning, Uriel is conflicted about religion, but suppresses his disbelief through self-brainwashing.
However, in the latter half of the story, when all the facts are revealed, Uriel’s faith, built up through rationalization, falls apart.
Saint Uriel was a person who lost her faith.
He was also a person who was devastated by his ‘mind’s eye’.
Iden had to twist the plot. The saintess was an essential talent for clearing, so she should never be allowed to be ruined.
At the beginning, when Yuriel had not yet brainwashed herself.
Before a greater repulsion in the second half shatters her heart.
Iden planned to destroy Uriel’s trust.
Iden shook his head when she asked as if she was blaming herself.
“To begin with, a funeral ceremony is a useless thing. There is absolutely no need to feel guilty for using that as an excuse. “Well done.”
What is the meaning of a practice of praying for several days in a closed room? Is the religious order that distributes saints and their urine and feces as sacred relics really a sane group?
In the first place, the belief that divinity could be achieved in such a way was itself a superstition. Holy power was not a power obtained that way.
The saintess’s expression froze in shock at Aiden’s blunt tone.
“······Ah, Lord Iden?”
Now they were openly denying the Varanches religion.
“The reason I can say this is because I can show you intuitive evidence.”
He was confident that he would destroy the saint’s faith within a few days.
Uriel’s stiff expression calmed down a bit.
“You will have to.”
Yuriel came here with the feeling of giving up everything. If Iden could not provide a satisfactory basis, she was planning to relinquish her position as a saint.
This is because I could not accept myself for deceiving everyone and distrusting God.
Also, even if what Iden said is true, it would be difficult for her to become a saint. Yuriel’s mind was very complicated.
Aiden nodded and pointed out the window. The blue sea was flowing.
“There is the answer the saint wants. “You will come with me.”
Uriel couldn’t understand so he stared at Aiden.
Aiden motioned to Jonah, who was watching the saint from afar.
Jonah came over and sat down with him. After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Aiden slowly began to explain.
He explained step by step the identity of Jonah, the secrets of the mermaids of the civilization called Atlantis, and what to do from now on.
Until Aiden’s mouth closed again, Uriel had seen all the facial expressions she could make.
Finally, after checking Jonah’s scales, I was speechless due to shock.
What emotions does a woman who had to see her people being eaten every moment live with? No, is there any emotion left?
Even words of comfort felt like a sin, so I couldn’t do anything.
Yuriel’s eyes turned red.
Euron shed tears, and Jonah lowered his head and hid his expression.
Only sobbing voices occasionally filled the room.
Iden turned his head out the window. Daryl came over and swallowed.
“Thank you for stopping me. “I’ll get better.”
If I had eaten a mermaid, I wouldn’t have been able to survive with my sanity.
Aiden was lost in thought without answering.
Soon the people of the empire will know the whole truth. It was obvious what would happen if they realized that they had been cooking and eating their own people. Some may go crazy.
Of course, this was not a problem that could be covered up.
I just hoped that the recoil wouldn’t be too big.
*
There were three people heading to the Barbon Strait.
Aiden Jonah Uriel. Since there were only a small number of people, there was no need for a large ship. It is a time when the mermaids are in heat and become violent, but if Jonah is there, they will not attack the party.
Therefore, it was possible to sail with just one ferry boat.
In these dangerous times, people tend to be conscious of small boats floating in the sea.
So Iden waited at the inn until the sun set.
Perhaps because of his good friendliness, Uriel had already become absorbed into the group.
Everyone except Iden listened to Daryl and Euron’s endless adventure stories.
“I’m telling you, Arhan, I didn’t get discouraged even in front of that salted fish guy. Euron You weren’t there at that time, maybe? haha! That guy called Seongja. “Can you lift the sex gloves now?”
“It’s all natural! Now I can grab it and run.”
“It looks like the report that you passed the trial of a great hero was really true.”
“That’s right. “Saint, there is evidence over there.”
Yupe was sleeping peacefully. Yuriel barely suppressed the urge to pet her. Because I knew well the nature of a divine beast that only follows its master.
Daryl clapped his hands as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“By the way, if you don’t mind, may I ask you a question?”
“As much as you want.”
“That northern paladin. “The name must be Ta…”
“Lord Tyrun?”
“Yes yes. That’s right. “What happened to that gentleman?”
A bitterness flashed across Yuriel’s expression.
“I was fired. “I heard that it was decided without trial by the chief judge of the Heresy Inquisition, but I don’t know the details.”
It seems that Xerath received Aiden’s letter and processed it himself. It was a much better outcome than the death penalty.
As we were chatting, dusk began to fall outside the window.
The time to move is running out. Aiden called his companions together.
I once again informed Euron and Daryl of the time to pick them up and prepared to leave.
Uriel and Yona also changed into comfortable clothes and followed Aiden.
“Please take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry about us and have a nice trip.”
“I will take good care of Holy Knight Yupe.”
Yupe was tied to a leash and whined. Since it was still a cub, I decided it would be difficult to take it into the sea.
“Okay, see you in a few days.”
Aiden responded to the group seeing him off and went out the door.
We headed straight to the ferry dock located next to Illyasu’s port.
On a dark night, the moonlight fell over the sea, softly lighting up the surroundings. Gentle waves rocked the ferryboat.
Iden pulled the rope that connected the ferry to the ship. A ferry boat approached, splitting the waves on both sides.
“Go up first.”
Tension flashed across Yuriel’s face. If everything Aiden says is true, what we need to do from now on could be written in the Bible.
It was a turning point in which the Bible, which had stopped recording, was restarted.
Reality felt distant. This is because I knew well what it meant to leave a line of one’s name in the Bible.
Aiden supported her as she climbed onto the ferry.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Yuriel could never know the person called Aiden. How can you be so calm? I deeply sympathized with the saying that humans born with the qualities of a hero are inherently different.
Jonah followed, and Iden took the oar.
“I’m leaving. Hold on tight.”
The ferry boat slowly moved forward, creating a current. As the acceleration slowly began to increase, Uriel and Yona felt a little strange.
After some time passed, I understood that he was telling me to hold on tight.
The ferry cruised the water as if there were output artifacts attached to the back of the ship.
If I had rowed hard from the beginning, the oar would have broken, but it didn’t matter because I had propulsion.
Jonah doubted whether Iden was human.
His arms were moving so fast that the eyes couldn’t follow them, but his expression was extremely calm.
It was a strange combination.
Yuriel looked refreshed on a ferry boat speeding through the sea. A stream of water rose and drenched her body.
I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest.
The city behind me is gradually fading away. As we entered the open sea, blocked by sea water on all sides, Jonah shouted.
“This is close!”
A point where a downward current occurs. Iden took his hand off the oar. The ferry boat slowly lost speed.
Eventually, it stopped and a pleasant tone was heard calmly.
Yuriel listened without realizing it. The sound gets closer and closer. It was a beauty that could captivate anyone.
One by one, pale faces emerged from the water. Somewhere, empty, translucent eyes blinked. Soaked hair hung limply and covered the surface of the water.
They were narrowing in on Aiden from all directions.
Sailors wandering the ocean, where are you going in such a hurry? It’s so cold, so why don’t you warm it up and leave.
Jonah cried desperately.
“Please don’t kill me! “I will comfort you.”
Iden nodded.
