54 – The Saint of the Gwangmyeong Church

*

“Where is this…?”

I opened my eyes in the darkness where I couldn’t see anything. And what I see when I open my eyes is a message window.

[Select an attribute to inherit in the next world.]

[1. Brain retardation (A)]

‘I remembered.’

The second world I lived in, Moorim. I died there at the age of 30 after living there as the head of the Heavenly Demon Guard, direct escort, and Heavenly Demon’s husband.

Now was the moment to choose the traits to inherit before moving on to the next world.

A body reduced to the level of a 5-year-old, lost strength, unfamiliar space, all of that was uncomfortable, but the most uncomfortable thing is… The fact that the emotions that filled me up until just now have disappeared.

Ha-yeon, who clearly remains in her memory, is more precious to me than anyone else, and seems like a person I love, but now I don’t remember any of her feelings for her.

I would have loved you deeply, but I would have shed tears because I didn’t want to be separated, and I would have wanted each other so much that I would have given up reincarnation and wanted to live together… It feels like nothing.

That was so scary. That I became a different person at some point, that my emotions disappeared without incident… Now that the long time has completely disappeared, all I have left is futility.

‘This is why I didn’t want to get married.’

At first, he rejected her marriage proposal. I remember her saying that she married her because she kept telling me her heart and she couldn’t stop her or her own feelings towards her.

But I couldn’t remember that feeling at all, so I thought that I was just an idiot who got married irresponsibly. So, I will never get married in this life.

I chose the thunder retardation, vowing never to leave someone alone and disappear, or to hold on to the feelings that had disappeared and to feel emptiness again.

At that moment, my consciousness was cut off and I felt as if I was being dragged somewhere.

It’s been 12 years since I woke up in a new world, and I’ve been working hard to adapt to a different world by working as a mercenary by reaching Hwagyeong faster than I did in my previous life.

A world where knights and magicians, kings and emperors, nobles and monsters, demons, and their leaders exist. It’s a world similar to the fantasy novels I’ve read before, so it wasn’t difficult to adapt.

Anyway, since it is a world where only demons use the power of black energy, it is a bit flawed that it is not possible to openly use magic, so it is a little flawed to carry out the request with only the awakened person’s physical ability and blood.

“Hey! Are you here?”

“Inspiration. What are you doing today?”

Alexander, the master of the mercenary guild I’m indebted to. He was once called the mercenary king, but after retiring, he is a nobleman who sets up a guild in the quiet countryside and sips alcohol every day.

Anyway, should I say that I’m the only mithril-class mercenary in the area, a vicious boss who keeps me to death? Still, he is a nobleman who helped me the most in adapting to this world, so I am working hard to help him.

If it wasn’t me, the nobleman would have to step in, but isn’t it a bit like asking an old man in his 80s to work directly? They are paid well, so there are no major complaints.

“Hey, I heard that a saintess is coming to this area this time.”

“A saint?”

“Yes. The saintess of the Gwangmyeong Church.”

Unlike the earth, where all kinds of religions prevailed, this world was a monotheistic religion that worshiped only one goddess as the main god.

And as most of the major treatments are taken by the church, the church’s prestige has grown beyond the empire, and what about the saints of that church? It was good to see her as the most important person in the world.

They say her appearance is also that of a goddess herself, and her body is of a high standard, but I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve never seen her with my own eyes. But that kind of person comes to the countryside like this?

“Why is such a great person coming to such a country?”

“Wait a minute.”

He wrapped his aura around him and prevented the story from spreading.

“This is a secret… The church contacted me that a dungeon with a hidden object had appeared around here. So I, who knows the area best, was looking for someone to guide me.”

Now, Kwangmyong Shinkyo stands tall as the monotheistic religion of the other world, but I heard that there were many more religions in the world before. It’s because everyone stuck with the Kwangmyung Shinkyo, lost, and disappeared.

Though the other religious orders disappeared, the divine artifacts created by the gods of those religious orders still remained hidden in the form of dungeons all over the world.

It is said that the Gwangmyeongsingyo, as soon as they find out the location of the dungeon that has such a divine object, first moves there to retrieve the sacred object and offer it to the god Gwangmyeong.

Then, did they say that the power of other gods dissolved in the divine water is completely absorbed by the god of light and the god of light becomes stronger?

As the power of a god becomes stronger, the power of the church that follows that god also becomes stronger, so the recovery of the divine object was one of their number one goals. That’s why the saintess comes down to this countryside herself.

‘No, but telling me this…’

“Would you like to see me?”

“Yeah. You know you’re the one I trust the most. I can’t trust the others.”

I have never taken out my energy properly until I turned 17 in case I’m afraid I’ll be accused of being a demon, so you want me to meet the saintess, the heart of the church, in person?

‘Even directions?’

“I can’t. No, I won’t!”

“This bastard! Do you think the opportunity to see her saintess in person is common? You can even talk to her, but why do you hate it? .”

‘Success is something… It’s fortunate if you don’t get burned by being cornered as demons.’

“A good seat like that is inspirational!”

“Trying to pamper this old man… I can’t help it.”

The inspiration took out a piece of paper from the drawer and held it up.

“That’s…”

“This is the contract you wrote. Read it carefully.”

[I, Kim Yu-won, promise to do as long as Alexander’s life is not in danger due to the crime of destroying his favorite musical instrument. (Person)]

A document with my fingerprints perfectly stamped next to it. It was a contract he had written after breaking and eating an instrument worth 10 million gold made from branches of a world tree that he had bought with his retirement funds.

“Should I go that far…?”

“Don’t you know what would happen to me if the other guys had an accident in front of the saintess? It’s really because you’re the only one in charge of this job.”

“What about Swain? He’s quiet and he’s good at his job!”

“I went on a long-term mission. If he was there in the first place, there would be no reason to do this to you.”

That’s right. I asked just in case, but it was blocked right away.

“Ha… Ok. I’m really just going to give you directions instead, so don’t ask for more than that. OK?”

“Don’t worry, I don’t ask for more than that.”

“So, when will the saintess come?”

“Now.”

‘Eh?’

I hear a knock on the door with a presence outside.

“I came from Gwangmyeong Shinkyo.”

“Come in.”

Graduate A woman dressed in revealing clothing, flanked by two paladins with the highest level of strength, entered the old man’s office.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Alexander. I am Estelle, a saint of the Gwangmyeong Church.”

As rumor has it, she certainly has a beautiful face and an explosive body. But no matter how much I thought about it, he looked a lot younger than I thought.

‘No matter how high I put it, it seems like a high school student?’

I am the same age as I am now, but when I saw such a young child, he said that it was the second coming of the goddess, so I wish I could massage him just once.

Well, since marriage is possible from the age of 15 in another world, even the saintess in front of me should be treated as an adult. The old man who received her greeting also stood up and said hello.

“Yes. Nice to meet you. Holy Lady. It is a sincere honor for you to come to our guild office.”

‘Pooping. sh*t.’

In my whole life, I’ve never seen that nobleman show such manners.

“Who’s next to you…?”

Looking at me, she asked her inspiration.

“This is the guy in charge of the long tour. Hey, say hello quickly.”

Unable to say hello to her, she opened her mouth, bowing her head to her.

“My name is Kim Yu-won, a Mithril-class mercenary. It’s an honor to meet you. Holy lady.”

“Ah! This is the youngest Mithril-class mercenary who is well-reputed? Nice to meet you, Yu-Won.”

She gave me her hand and I grabbed it. Then the old man made a surprised expression, and at the same time, the paladins behind him tried to pull out their swords.

“Everybody stop.”

Paladins stopped drawing her sword only after she opened her mouth.

‘What did I do wrong…?’

Then the old man opened her mouth and apologized instead.

“I’m sorry. This guy doesn’t know the etiquette…”

“No. It’s the first time you’ve held my hand like this, so it’s rather fresh? In that sense, please take good care of me in the future. Yuwon-nim.”

She smiles with an expression that shows interest in me.

“Yes…”

She just gave directions and tried to part, but it seems that she unintentionally attracted the attention of the saintess.

– No. If there was such a thing as etiquette, she should have said it before the saintess came. This is inspiration

For no reason, I got angry at the old man with a full tone.

-Did you really think I didn’t know that? Pretty much everyone would know! Still, it seems like you’ve looked at it well, so I’ll guide you well. Okay?

-Okay.

I searched, but I couldn’t even find it. Instead, he prayed towards the sky.

‘Please don’t let anything happen…’

I hope I won’t have to meet her as of today.
