Episode 87

27. Stories I didn’t know (5)

“oh!!!”

But there was no time to think in detail. Elijah realized that a special magic applied to the entire space was in motion.

Soon, her body floated into the air.

The ground where the Demon King’s altar was placed began to slowly crumble.

‘Transfer magic!’

In order to be prepared in case of any contingency, Elijah put on a thicker armor of holy flame.

Soon, I was enveloped in a strange sense of a different dimension, and a clear sound of a bird was heard.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that she had been transferred to a certain forest on Nakwon Island.

Was there ever a moment when the air and wind felt so clear?

When she came out of the dungeon full of vicious magic, everything she had just seen before felt like a dream.

It’s something I’ve been afraid of for a long time.

The reason for that fear was also because of the influence of the Demon King who was sealed to the heroes.

And the fact that Baeksanwoo broke away from the influence of the Demon King and destroyed the altar.

All of them were unreal enough to be regarded as mere illusions.

‘But it’s real.’

The redeemer, Elijah, was a rational human being. Anything that goes against the will of God must be punished.

Therefore, there was no hesitation in torture or killing.

Because his identity was a substitute, not a saint.

‘Should I report this to the superior?’

If the procedure was followed, it would have been natural.

However, there were still unanswered questions in her mind.

“No, no. It might be premature yet.”

When Elijah reported this incident to the temple, he was able to foresee the aftermath that would occur.

Although it was not well known from the outside, the present Canaanite temple was in a noisy state in many ways.

The issue of the legitimacy of Saint Bassanio suddenly surfaced, and clashes with anti-saint forces were taking place.

In a situation where the political situation is not yet stable, if the substitute himself announces this fact hastily.

It was something that the chaos might be amplified to the outside beyond the inside.

So, Elijah decided to watch first.

First of all, it was summer vacation.

In order to commit or solve a problem, it must be the right time to loosen up the management of the bachelor’s degree.

After all, his status as a substitute didn’t change because he was on vacation.

It will never be too late to watch and act during the vacation.

‘Instead, it would be better to close it in the case of Area 10 of Hisperiif.’

He was so strong that even he could not stand even himself armed with the blessings of God.

When a general priest, student, or a member of the dungeon management team comes into contact with the space.

Because even Jeliya did not dare to predict what would happen.

Just before deciding everything.

I had to meet Francis, who was investigating the Hero’s Rest.

“Lord, show me the way.”

As Elijah knelt and prayed to the sky, a white line appeared in front of her.

The divine power that she knows how to wield is not just sanctification.

“Thank you always, Lord.”

Elijah once said a prayer of devout thanksgiving, and then moved along the line.

Following the power ‘guide’, she arrived at the southernmost living area in the South Terrier.

In other words, it was said that the place where she was transferred was a small forest in the south far away from the place where the resting place was located.

‘Why was it transferred here?’

I had a small question though.

‘That’s not what’s important.’

Elijah flipped it over and went straight to the warp gate, and moved to the place where the resting place of the hero was located.

Then he met Francis, who was already waiting outside the haven.

As he had excellent magical skills, it seemed that he had completed all investigations earlier.

“Yeliya-sama, as a result of the investigation, no singularity was found… um?”

Francis’ expression, while reporting the results of the sanctuary’s investigation, wrinkled for a moment.

He had sensed the reverberation of Magi that was felt in Elijah’s body.

“ah…….”

Elijah quickly noticed what that expression meant, and caused the blessing of Canaan.

As the divine energy emanating from his hand covered Yelia’s body, the remaining magical energy was washed away cleanly.

“Didn’t you say that you went to Hisperiif? But that strong magic…”

At that moment, Elijah’s eyes lit up. Francis couldn’t continue what he was saying and kept his mouth shut.

“Francis, this is a serious matter that cannot be hastily discussed here. Come here for a moment.”

Elijah grabbed Francis’ collar and dragged him to the hill not far from the resting place.

It was not even close to the living area, so it was a very sparsely populated place.

If it was here, I would be able to have a conversation without worrying about being heard by others.

Francis, who had been taken without knowing the English language, asked Elijah again.

“What’s the matter?”

“As of today, have the Baeksanwoo student have a monitoring team. It’s a formal organization, and consists of only elite priests. And please check the status of Baeksanwoo right now.”

Yelia continued to speak with her red eyes flashing.

“I’m just checking. Never provoke me, and I shouldn’t be caught approaching.”

“Yeah? What’s that all of a sudden…”

Elijah confided everything he had seen to the confused Francis.

When the word ‘Demon King’ was mentioned, Francis was also shaken without fail.

“Are you sure?”

“Just think of the reverberation. It’s a concentration you can only feel in the southernmost part of the island that hasn’t been cleaned yet.”

“…it’s serious.”

Indeed it was

Elijah’s words meant that the Demon King, who was sealed 300 years ago, is waking up for some reason.

A revival of ‘desperation’ that drove the entire continent to the brink of destruction.

As a priest who follows the will of God before being a heretic judge, this is an important matter that should not be easily overlooked.

“But you mean that Baek San-woo stopped it?”

“It’s still only heart disease. That’s why I asked you to organize a watchdog.”

“Then, shouldn’t it be okay to ask him directly? If he really prevented the coming of the Demon King, there is no reason to hide it from us.”

Francis’ opinion was also valid.

But Elijah had a slightly different idea from him.

“You can’t intervene yet, because we don’t know the intentions of student Baek San-woo.”

“What do you mean?”

Francis had an expression on his face that he didn’t understand at all.

“The last time I was in the Golden Mine, that student Baek San-woo took care of. I defeated Arachne and Aaron Norton Hale and rescued the Artels safely.”

“I know it from reports.”

“But student Baek San-woo provided vague information to the police department. On purpose.”

“Is that so? If so, the interrogation should be handled according to the proper procedure….”

“Of course I asked, but Dean Irkan refused early. Francis knows that, at least in Paradise Island, the will of a bachelor is the top priority.”

At that, Francis shut his mouth.

“Ha, but… substitute, isn’t that an overly broad interpretation? The possibility that the academics simply did it for the protection of the student cannot be ruled out.”

“no.”

It is Baeksanwoo who handed over the badge of the corps commander to Dean Irkan and took the crown of Aaron Nortonhale.

And with that dean, he suppressed the intervention of the temple or the security leader.

A method full of intentionality.

As if there was nothing good to associate with you guys.

“The student doesn’t trust us. He was able to report this incident to us well enough.”

Elijah remembered leaving the dormitory fully armed.

From the moment Baek Sanwoo left the dormitory, he was planning to destroy the Demon King’s altar.

If so, it was understandable why he was fully armed.

Meanwhile, Francis, who was listening to Elijah, asked a question.

“Then I also want to ask you one thing. What is the relationship between what you said now and the haven of Triston-sama that I investigated?”

“Because the student Baek San-woo went in there and then disappeared.”

“What do you mean? It’s gone?”

“I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I’ve definitely seen it go into the Hero’s Rest, but when I belatedly follow it, it disappears without a trace.”

“Impossible!”

Francis exclaimed.

He was a heretic judge and at the same time an excellent wizard. That’s how much he was confident in his magic.

“The one I developed was the highest level of search magic. I gave it divine power to make it more sensitive to mana and magic. But I couldn’t find any traces inside…!”

At the voice that started to get louder and louder, Yeliya hissed and put her finger to her lips.

Her white hair sparkled and fluttered.

“Francis, that’s why I’m more confused. That kid is by no means an ordinary student. He’s strong enough to deceive me and Francis.”

“Oh My God.”

If everything Yelliya said was true, the existence of Baeksanwoo could not be regarded as just a first-year student on Paradise Island.

Even though Francis had never met Baeksan-woo, he felt goosebumps on his forearm.

“So, the temple must never intervene. If we overreact in a field that may have already been found out, we don’t know how we’ll come out of it.”

“Then what should I do?”

“I told you before? Please create a watchdog. If you find something unusual, report it to me right away.”

Francis crossed his arms and looked at Elijah.

“…and then, are you really not going to report it to the superiors?”

“Not yet.”

A clear and concise answer.

Francis nodded his head.

Because he knew all too well that the situation in the temple was very confusing.

“Okay. Let’s organize a watchdog. But, Yelia-nim. You should always be careful.”

“of course.”

Elijah replied with a soft smile, as if not to worry.

In fact, the reason she ordered such a passive response was not only because of the current state of the temple.

Because I didn’t know what Canaan really wanted.

He wasn’t evil. But at the same time, I couldn’t see him as a sage.

Baek Sanwoo had a cause, but was the cause really just and according to the will of God?

There was no clear answer to that question.

It was the first time she had felt this way while fulfilling her responsibilities as a substitute.

perhaps… … What Canaan might have wanted to convey to him through him.

The reason he intentionally excludes the temple. The reason why the Demon King’s Altar was destroyed and not notified to any group.

Until all the questions that came to mind are resolved and you have confidence.

Elijah needed time.

* * *

After returning safely from the South Terrier forest.

I bought dinner and greeted the members who came to the dormitory to play.

“Hehehe!!!”

But why is your nose tickling like this from before?

Camila and Yoon So-young, who were sitting across from the unexpected situation, burst into laughter.

“What kind of sneeze is that?”

“I mean. It’s really amazing.”

“You can’t even sneeze the way you want? It’s sad, testimonial.”

I grunted, scratching my still itchy nose.

“But where have you been today?”

At Camilla’s question, Lioner, who was chewing herbs next to me, flinched.

“Ah… I just went on some field hunting. To learn some practical skills.”

“If that was the case, I would have asked you to go with me. I was at home all day today.”

“Did you? I didn’t know.”

I knew it, but I didn’t take it on purpose. Camilla can’t break through walls, right?

“Um~ hey, I kill this steamed chicken. Where did you buy it?”

With a little bit of flair, I quickly shifted the topic of conversation to food.

“This is a traditional chicken restaurant located in Palju!”

“It’s Tae-hoon as well. He never skips a restaurant pick. Actually, you didn’t come here to study, did you come to eat?”

“Ah, do you feel sorry for me again? I’ve been working really hard lately!”

As Tae-hoon spoke boasting his thick forearms, So-yeong chimed in next to him.

I feel it every time, but the two of them really get along, so why aren’t they dating?

‘It explodes in this grandpa. burst out… … .’

I thought, pounding my chest in pain.

After vacation, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to gather the kids from the club and introduce the K-drinking game.

There’s nothing so good about sharply narrowing the gap between a man and a woman.

so what It was a really eventful day… … .

Still, it ended well and I’m glad it ended. The ugly crown was just thrown away, too.

Above all, I am very happy that the status window has been unlocked.

‘I hope next week’s bug removal work goes well like this.’

I took a deep breath and thought.

‘Well, of course not.’
