30. How to become an apostle of light (2)

smart.

It’s been a while since I woke up, but it was a time when I was still rolling around because I had nothing to do.

“who are you?”

When I asked, I heard the soft voice of a middle-aged woman.

“This is the Principal. Student Baek San-woo, a person came from the temple.”

The person coming from the temple must be Yeliya. With that in mind, I stood up.

“Tell them that you are ready to shower and go out right now.”

Even though it is quite early in the morning, he is enthusiastic.

Do they also attend morning prayers?

So, after washing your body quickly, drying your hair, and putting on your outdoor clothes.

I went down to the dorm lobby.

‘… … ?? Why are there so many people?’

However, contrary to expectations, not only Elijah but also other priests were accompanying him.

Judging by the fact that they were all wearing black robes, they were heretical judges, not ordinary priests.

Apart from Yelia, who gave her innocent, rather trusting eyes, the attitude of the other priests did not feel very friendly.

‘I’ve finally come to verify my words.’

To some extent it was expected.

In the main story too, when conducting the Apostle of Light faction, if I do not have enough trust, I cannot ask for help from the priests around me.

On the contrary, whenever I entered the temple, I could hear gossip.

Ordinary priests are like this, let alone a more closed organization, what about the Heretical Tribunal?

But I was prepared for everything.

After I swallowed my breath, I let out a voice that was as kind and soft as possible.

“Nice to meet you, brothers.”

Nodding his head, he politely greeted him according to the temple’s etiquette.

Then the man who was sitting at the front got up from his seat and answered in the same way.

“Nice to meet you, my name is High Judge Francis.”

Judge Francis.

I knew him. This was because, when riding the Apostle of Light route, he was appointed as an official ‘Apostle of Light’ starting from meeting him.

‘thank god. We just have to respond as we did in the game.’

Perhaps these judges had gathered to prove my faith.

Even if I proved my innocence to Elijah, it seems that it was not enough to win the trust of the other judges.

After sharing a simple common name.

Francis is stepping forward.

“Then, excuse me.”

His eyes gleamed. A laurel wreath symbolizing the temple was formed on his retina.

Even in a confined space, a bright light shines warmly.

It was ‘Malepicarum’, a unique power that the heretical judges could exercise.

Although it has a lower authority than the sacrament of confession that Elijah performed. There is no difficulty for them to discriminate heresy.

“Baeksanwoo, do you work for God?”

Francis’ voice resounds with power. It was a moment when I might be accused of a heresy if I answered hastily.

‘After all, the question is the same.’

Without panicking, I answered with a slight smile.

“I work for the light.”

“Are your beliefs correct?”

“Without a single doubt, you are right.”

He answers all the questions that come rushing in.

I am only talking about the best answer for being recognized as an apostle of light.

Francis’ face, which had a strong look of suspicion at first, was now completely relaxed.

“Then… this is the last time. Are you an Apostle of Light?”

“The one who follows that path.”

Not knowing anything else, I had to answer this question that way.

It was only then that they were accepted as preliminary ‘Apostles of Light’ in the true sense.

Soon, the laurel wreath that had formed in Francis’ eyes scatters.

He knelt before me.

Except for Elijah, the other priests immediately got up from their chairs and bowed.

“Don’t do this. I’m afraid someone will see it.”

I woke up Francis and made eye contact with the other priests.

However, contrary to what they think, I have no intention of being an Apostle of Light.

Of course, there was a clear advantage of being able to use the support of the temple at will, and above all else, unnecessary interference from the Heresy Judgment Bureau was not coming in.

Apostle of Light, that’s pretty annoying.

Right now, in Arthur’s Faculty, I can’t even take on a job in the temple even when I’m a senior class member.

So, I was going to notify Elijah to focus on Aidan’s growth as much as possible.

“I have declared that I am an apostle of light.”

I turned around and continued.

“I don’t want the judges to tell the temple of my existence.”

“Yes!? What does that mean…?”

Francis was very upset.

“The mission the Light has given me is to lead Aidan on the right path as a close friend and trusted colleague of Aidan.”

I told him the same thing I said to Elijah. It is my duty now to lead the hero on the path of light.

As much as the Judgment Bureau is a group that puts their lives on the line for duty or mission.

Even if you don’t add any other explanations, I’ll interpret it for you.

“Everything will be according to God’s will. When the time comes, the time will come when it must be revealed.”

As I expected, Francis, who interpreted my words at will, answered with a look of faith.

“Yes, I understand!”

Soon, Yelia, who was watching the ceremony, stepped forward and smiled. Alluring red eyes gently curved.

Immediately after working in the gold mine, the impression was completely different from the chilly atmosphere I had seen in the dungeon.

“I understand the leader’s will. If you need our strength at any time, please feel free to tell us.”

Well, I had already finished talking with Yelia to do this.

Of course, even if I say this, it won’t stop the Heretical Judges from thinking that I’m an Apostle of Light.

It is clear that I will no longer be deeply involved in my life, nor will I dig behind it.

‘I’d rather this.’

First of all, I unintentionally dragged aggro into the Heresy Judgment Bureau.

This would be the best way to avoid being interrupted by future plans like last time.

‘Now the temple is in a very chaotic state. The heretical judges find stability with my appearance, and I get help and focus on school life.’

Doesn’t this mean that I really like my sister and my brother-in-law?

Just to make sure you do something.

I decided to emphasize the control of information once more.

“I don’t want to be noisy over this.”

At my sincere request, the judges nod their heads.

“Recently, he said that the situation at the temple is not very good. It’s not the right time yet. Please.”

If I said this much, would I not understand unless I was an idiot?

Moreover, as the Judgment Bureau is a closed organization, there is a tendency to keep security more thoroughly than any other organization in this area.

This is because, as there is a perception that they are basically shadows that execute the will of God, they themselves always try to judge objectively and rationally.

Of course, there is a reporting system in place.

Rather than becoming a centralized control, they frequently exercised the power granted to each branch.

In particular, in the case of the heretical judges assigned to Paradise School, it was safe enough to see them as separate organizations based on the substitute Jelia, who was given special ‘autonomy’ among them.

If the Redeemer Elijah had decided not to do so, there would be no danger of my existence being exposed in the temple.

‘If it is available, use it, and if it is better to put it aside, then put it away is the answer.’

The best way to maintain the status quo is when there is nothing good to be involved in!

However, Elijah answered my words carefully.

“I also said that, as the Apostle said, the Immortal Core and Iscariot Choir are requested to test Aidan Christopher’s qualifications.”

“You are wonderful, Elijah.”

“As a substitute, it was my duty.”

Yeliya shyly pays tribute to her by clasping her hands together.

Except for her fanatical aspect, she could be seen as a great beauty.

I quickly turned my gaze away before I was even a little shaken.

At least to them, I, Baek Sanwoo, had to be seen as a real ‘Apostle of Light’, doing my best in the duties given to me.

“Then when will the reply arrive?”

“It is likely that a reply will come within tomorrow at the earliest.”

“That’s right. You’ve worked really hard. It may have been an unreasonable request.”

“Then… I’ll see you again when I get a reply.”

“Oh, please enter carefully.”

Even though I didn’t say anything, the judges stood up first.

‘Well, although it’s complicated in many ways.’

Watching them suddenly leave the dormitory.

‘After all, it’s reassuring to be an ally!’

I had that thought in my mind.

a week after that.

It was still early in the morning, but men in robes were standing in the port of the West Terrier.

The jet-black pier that settled quietly.

About ten people didn’t say a word, they just looked at the horizon of the sea.

at that time.

“coming.”

Elijah’s voice, who was at the forefront, broke the silence.

At those words, the eyes of the people gathered together return.

He couldn’t see well because he was in the dark, but a faint light flashed beyond his view.

As the light gets closer and closer.

The judges gathered at the pier were engulfed in indescribable inspiration.

A sailing boat of great majesty, as if the castle was floating in the sea.

The red cross, the symbol of the temple, was beautifully painted on the white cloth hanging from the three masts.

The face of the god Pegasus is carved in gold on the player.

“That’s the sacred Johannes that was used during the Demon King’s expedition…!!”

One of the judges said in a semi-submerged voice. Even though he spoke as low as possible to break the silence, his voice was engraved with awe.

Aside from that, the other judges were undecided.

Maybe he just doesn’t express himself.

Everyone except the high-ranking judges must have reacted the same.

Since there were only three cases when Johannes departed from Valencia, the Holy Empire, where the temple was located.

or the temple was proclaimed by the saint.

Go on a pilgrimage with pilgrims.

Finally, it was time to transport the precious treasures of the temple.

Therefore, there were many Canaanite priests who did not have access to the real thing of Johannes for the rest of their lives.

It was even rarer to see them floating on the sea and sailing.

It’s not an everyday experience, so even experienced judges get excited without realizing it.

“Everyone, get ready.”

“Yes, Redeemer.”

It’s been a while since I was mesmerized by the overwhelming appearance. They were busy moving under Jeliya’s control, preparing to meet Johannes.

Soon, white torches spread out from the bodies of the judges, illuminating the dark pier.

The divinity approaching along the horizon changed its path using the lights created by the Judges as a signpost.

Finally, I slowly entered the pier. It was so huge that you had to raise your neck all the way to see the deck.

It belongs to the largest pier in the port, but even that was not enough to completely cover the ship.

“Now, take the torch.”

At the same time as the anchoring was successful, the flashes that rose from the bodies of the judges at the command of Jeliya dispersed and disappeared.

As darkness descends on the pier again, the scaffolding that came down from Johannes spans the pier.

Priests in white robes descended in a row on the slope that led downhill.

“……!!”

The natural scent of myrrh and perfume.

It was so intense that the general judges often frowned.

High-ranking executives, including Yelia, just silently tolerated the scent.

Soon, those who came down to the wharf stopped in front of Jelliah, who had come to meet him personally, and showed their courtesy to Canaan.

“Yelly… sir… it’s been a long time… it’s been a while…”

His voice was trembling and weak, as if he would stop breathing at any moment.

Elijah also welcomed the guests to Paradise Island with all his heart.

“Welcome back to Paradise Island, Priest.”

Soon, the torch rising from Johannes lights up the pier again.

The figure of the crowd hidden behind the hood of the robe was revealed.

A face that was as dry as it was torn, there was no growth to be found, and the shriveled skin was very similar to that of an unclean undead.

A priest who cannot die.

It is a contradictory existence that is a mixture of life and death.

Longing for eternal rest-
