Vatican.

A landlocked country surrounded by Rome, the capital of Italy.

The smallest country on Earth.

However, its influence on the world is so great that it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best.

That’s because it is the headquarters of the ‘Vatican Orthodox Church’, which is prevalent around the world.

A country ruled directly by the Pope, the head of a religion with hundreds of millions of followers.

Can’t you get a sense of how powerful it is just by hearing the words?

Anyway, let’s stop talking about national power.

Here at the Vatican, a grand banquet is held twice a year.

Those who donated the most money this year, people who contributed greatly to world peace, etc.

An event to gather and praise those who have had a positive influence on the Vatican Orthodox Church and the world.

“… That’s what they mean.”

The reality is a little different.

Think about it.

This means that those who donated the most money this year are among the richest people in the world.

People who have greatly contributed to world peace are influential politicians or hunters.

That means that each and every one of those gathered at the banquet is a magnate with global influence.

To put it a little more bluntly, it is a place where the 0.1%, no, 0.0001% of the world who are at the same level meet each other and build friendships.

Networks are sometimes more powerful than anything tangible.

In particular, the more outstanding your personal connections are, the more powerful your power becomes.

“I would say it’s literally a different world.”

An opportunity to encounter countless stars that you may or may not see at least once in your lifetime.

As a result, the Vatican Orthodox Church holds it under the name of ‘Thanksgiving Banquet’, but people often call it by another name instead.

A banquet of stars created by countless stars coming together.

It’s called the Star Council.

Everyone in each country dreams of going there.

With their power behind him, he also wants to become a global influence beyond just one country.

However, very few people actually achieve that dream.

Most people are unable to pierce the narrow hole of a needle, become frustrated, and soon stop in place.

In Korea, there are only two people who have stepped foot on the doorstep of the church at least once.

The main characters are none other than Son Si-woo and Han Joo-hee.

okay.

It’s me.

There was a time when I traveled around the world and conquered A-class and S-class dungeons.

At that time, I guess I had conquered more than I thought, and an invitation came to me saying that I had contributed to world peace.

“There was a lot of noise.”

The popularity of the event was enormous simply because it was the first in Korea to be invited to a convocation.

After I went, everyone I met just asked, ‘How was the church meeting?’ or ‘Who did you meet there?’ I’ve been asked the same question thousands of times.

The altar meeting is that kind of place.

For global powerful people to gain greater power.

It is also an opportunity to gather the strength I lack in order to become a world-class leader.

There was only one reason why he suddenly gave such a grand explanation about such a great banquet.

“So… , Gulp!”

“Wow, our guild was officially invited there this time?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Dusk.

This is because the guild I created received an invitation there.

Well, to be more precise, it feels like Kim Do-jin and the boys.

“Umm… , That’s strange.”

While everyone was surprised, only Juyeon spoke out in an expression of confusion.

“Dojin, you participated in the Cerberus raid this time, so it could be so… , why us?”

also.

Perhaps because of his age, he has a good grasp of the pulse.

The reason the guild members were invited to this banquet was because of a comment I made in the past.

The saint said.

He said he would like to take a closer look at the guild members of the Twilight Guild, which will function as the Korean branch of the Guardians.

What can I do?

Our investors say they want to see the dream trees of the future growing.

He gave the answer to the puzzled guild members with a grinning face.

“Our boss wants to see you.”

If I’m going to criticize you, I’m going to criticize you, right?

One week left until the convocation ceremony opens.

A private plane to pick us up and fly to Italy entered Incheon International Airport.

The guild members, including me, went to the airport with our pre-packed suitcases and boarded a private plane.

And everyone was amazed.

“Wow… , crazy.”

“This is the level of the Vatican’s private plane… ?”

“Big hit!”

The interior is twice as spacious as the private plane I got through Han Joo-hee.

There are spacious, luxurious seats.

That wasn’t the only surprising thing.

“This… , How many layers is the defense magic circle?”

“Mo, I don’t know. I think it’s at least five or ten layers.”

There are so many magic circles tightly guarding the inside and outside of the private plane that even an A-class wizard who is not far from S-class cannot see through them all.

“Hmm… , exactly eighteen.”

“F, eighteen… !”

“Who on earth would come up with such a ridiculous overlap…? .”

“Overlapping is a problem, but the cost of maintaining it must also be enormous… ?”

It is at an absurd level both technically and cost-wise.

You can find out through this.

“I guess that’s how important the saint’s safety is.”

The life of a saint is more important than the astronomical cost.

The guild members who nodded absently at my words mumbled.

“World Class is different no matter what it is… .”

“If you’re a saint, wouldn’t even world class be able to show you a business card?”

“Well, then world world class?”

“… … .”

What on earth is world world class?

While I was pacing and looking around, unable to sit down, I heard a guidance sound coming from speakers installed in various places.

[We are leaving soon. Passengers are requested to remain seated and fasten their seat belts.]

Only then did the guild members pay attention to the surrounding facilities and begin to move hurriedly.

But why is everyone suddenly flocking around me?

“Where will you sit?”

“Dojin, would you like to sit with me… ?”

“Mmm, hmm!”

“… … .”

The women are glaring in this direction while secretly exchanging glances of disapproval.

I thought as I looked at them.

The time for clearing up karma may be slowly approaching.

* * *

The Vatican, the headquarters of the Vatican Orthodox Church with hundreds of millions of believers.

Among them, the top of the Holy See, which is no different from the heart.

The saint looked at the people who were gathering in the city, which she could clearly see from there.

It was a face that most people knew.

These are people who donate an enormous amount of money that an ordinary person would not be able to earn even if they worked hard all their lives.

With their money, she could help people in need around the world, but she always thought,

‘Is this really right?’

Everyone knows, including her.

The money they receive from them is never clean money.

They also say that they do not have any good will mixed in with their donations.

They pay only a fraction of the money and are blessed by her to enjoy longer, healthier lives.

And during that time, more people are exploited.

If you look at it in a broad sense, isn’t he helping their evil deeds?

Part of me wants to scold them harshly.

But it can’t be done.

‘Because it’s true that their money helps.’

The amount of money given out of kindness by those who come to see him is greater than the money given out of good will by believers around the world.

The Vatican Orthodox Church is using the money it donates to provide relief to suffering people around the world.

That’s why I can’t quit.

My actions that sustain the chain of evil that must be broken and disappeared at the right time.

The most representative example was the banquet that people in the world called a seongdanhoe.

She evaluated the church as follows:

‘A banquet that has lost its original meaning and has been reduced to just a place for upper-class social gathering.’

It was indeed accurate.

The Holy Order has long since lost its original noble meaning.

Now, it has been reduced to just a communication channel for the upper class to make friends and exchange help to further solidify their position.

She didn’t like it.

Nevertheless, it could not be abolished.

This is because the donations sent by influential people from various countries to step on the threshold of the Holy Order were also enormous.

Also, some of the money raised was used for other purposes.

The ‘Guardians’ she founded for world peace.

This was because it accounted for a significant portion of the activity costs for their smooth activities.

“Ha… .”

Her sighs grew deeper every year.

And every time that happens, I strengthen my helpless will and gather my mind.

Even evil deeds are good.

‘If only this one body could be defiled and the world become peaceful… .’

If only one more person could be saved, and those who fight with a noble sense of mission on their shoulders could be rewarded for their courage, even if only in a small way.

Whether he lives or dies, he will bear that sin and repent for the rest of his life.

It was when I was making that promise.

“Saint, Kim Do-jin Hunter and the Twilight Guild have arrived.”

Her personal maid informed her of Kim Do-jin’s arrival.

A faint smile blooms at the corner of your mouth.

Every time she thinks of him, the fear of the unknown hangs beneath her veil.

He is both black and white, and he always distorts the future she depicts.

So far, it has led to better results, but that means it could also lead to worse results.

So she was sure.

Kim Do-jin will bring a great change to this world.

Whether it’s good or bad.

She spoke in a brighter tone, filled with anticipation that she had never felt before.

“Please guide us to the reception room. I will go right away too.”

My lighter steps led me to the luxurious reception room.
