Chapter Index

    The next day.

    The doctor who came in the morning took off the bandage and checked the wound.

    After looking at her hands and knees, Hyukkeshni took a deep breath and this time took out a red vial from the small bag behind her back and applied it only to her knees.

    I thought it was red medicine, but the medicine itself was clear.

    A squishy liquid covered it, and soon the scab slowly melted away. Then, with a very tingling sensation, the skin slowly healed.

    “It stings and itches.”

    “Hold on. It stings because the wound is healing.”

    Then, instead of the slightly yellow bandage that was wrapped around my hand yesterday, I cut a pure white bandage and put it on.

    Can’t I just apply what I put on my knees to my hands?

    But there’s no sign of that happening.

    I’m not sure, but it’s almost time to go give a blessing, so I left my clothes with Joanna.

    You’re giving me gloves, which is unusual. Are you thinking of covering my wound? If that’s the case, why don’t you just give me some medicine?

    Think about the reason calmly. Knees and hands. Is there a difference?

    Visible location?

    But if you’re going to cover it with clothes, wouldn’t knees be better than hands? Just wear a long skirt. So there’s another reason not to treat the wound.

    My head doesn’t work that well, but I can still think, so I’m thinking about it.

    I made a difference.

    I plan to widen the gap and check.

    Then, the difference in wounds. Are you trying to check the recovery power? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be enough to just sleep there for one night?

    Take away warmth and give blessings.

    When I first came to this world.

    There was an incident where half of my head was blown off. I recovered from that.

    So, you’re trying to see if I can recover by eating warmth? Is that it?

    It’s strange that the recovery is so slow now, when it certainly showed strong regenerative power back then.

    No, honestly, HP automatically recharges little by little, and since there’s nothing urgent, I just left it to natural healing. Even if there’s pain, it doesn’t mean it’s suffering.

    It means that even if it’s itchy and stinging, there’s no impulse to solve it. For example, even if a game character gets a burn, it’s not really itchy, right? If there’s no special functional decline and it gets better on its own if left alone, it’s even better.

    Well then, I guess I can treat the wound while eating warmth.

    I know how.

    It’s exactly the same method as making clothes.

    I decided to do so and waited for Hieronymus.

    And as expected, when the time came, Jerome came and took me to a secluded place where there were pagans who had been captured from far away.

    That means today we are blessing those who succeeded in the mission of Jerome.

    There are three people in front of me.

    Two men and one woman, their entire bodies bound in restraints.

    So I quickly took away the warmth. As expected, there is more warmth here compared to the size of the light. The two men are from the Cogni Kingdom in the northeast.

    One person is a warrior.

    Southwest of the Cogni Kingdom. A man living in a city overlooking the Scard Rock Desert. He was born in the Cogni Kingdom and became a mercenary following his cousin, who was also a mercenary. He is a man of moderate age who returned to his hometown to settle down as he grew older.

    But when he returned to his hometown, it was filled with a strange fervor. It was a place mostly occupied by the Future Hope Church. He came from an area where the Future Hope Church had no influence. So he quickly noticed that his hometown was strange because of the cult.

    Every morning, they pray to a god with a strange name, and even though their village is already poor, they give what they have to people who come to visit them.

    And anyone who refused was branded a pagan and stoned in the center of town.

    He returned to the village and tried to stop it, but was captured by a man who had my blessing. Unfortunately, he was a strong warrior, but he was not a superman. That’s the story of this man.

    And the next guy. He’s quite old, almost middle-aged. And a regular person? No, it’s a bit ambiguous to call him a regular person.

    It has a long history.

    Originally, he was a 5th-grade civil servant in a place called Yeongranggyoguk. However, he converted. Although his rank was much lower, he endured it and moved to the Cogni Kingdom. He must have been from a religious sect, and he even switched to a religion called Seongshingyo.

    It’s not common to abandon one’s mother religion, but it’s fascinating.

    Anyway, not long after that, the Anselus Kingdom invaded the Yeongrang Kingdom. Not the Cogni Kingdom, but the Anselus Kingdom. But I vaguely know that the information he gained while converting would have been helpful.

    Because the place called Yeongranggyoguk was in the jungle to the west of the Cogni Kingdom.

    To the south of the Kingdom of Cogni lies the Kingdom of Ansellus.

    Therefore, in order for the Kingdom of Ansellus to invade the country of the Church of Yeongrang, it must pass through their country.

    It’s weird.

    Especially for me, who knows about the Imjin War.

    In this way, the Kingdom of Ansellus destroyed the Kingdom of Yeongrang. And surprisingly, the army of the Kingdom of Ansellus returned to their homeland without incident.

    At that time, this man who was already in the Cogni Kingdom was drinking alcohol and spouting out foul language about how good it was. I agree. Because the Yeongranggyo Kingdom gathered children when they were born and trained them brutally in order to create strong warriors.

    When I say brutal training, I mean that there were so many deaths that it seemed brutal.

    He had his children taken away by the Yeongrang Church. Twice. So he ran away with his devastated wife.

    Unfortunately, his wife died during that time.

    Anyway, that happened about 20 years ago. After that, I was living in the Cogni Kingdom, but then I was suddenly kidnapped and taken away.

    I don’t know why the Future Hope Church kidnapped him. If I had to pick something that seems possible, it would be that he believes in a religion called the Holy Spirit Church?

    But Ansellus and Cogni. I could vaguely see the relationship between these two countries. You have good information.

    Lastly, the woman I stole my warmth from is a priestess of a religion called the Holy Spirit Church. This one is someone who fought against the Church of the Future Hope in a city where the Church of the Future Hope was expanding, so it’s not strange that she was dragged in.

    The interesting thing is that you can use a special power called divine power. It is said to be a power of light that can be used the more you believe in God.

    Even if I do as this person says, divine power doesn’t come out of my hands. In other words, I guess there must be a subject that gives me power?

    Kehehe.

    There is a god.

    Hyungkeshni told me I was a foreigner, but honestly, I was just a monster around there.

    Hmm. Let’s think about this a little later. I think I’m still a bit excited.

    ruler!

    It seems that the religion of the Holy Spirit is mostly believed in the countries in the East. Aside from the Kingdom of Cogni and the Kingdom of Anselus, there are quite a few small kingdoms, and the main religion of the countries in the East is the Holy Spirit. It is so widespread that it could almost be considered a universal religion.

    The enemy of religion is religion.

    If we see that Jerome sends people mainly to the east, is it because the Church of the Holy Spirit is an obstacle to the expansion of the Church of the Future Hope?

    It’s complicated here too.

    Or it is not impossible that the Church of the Holy Spirit itself was Jerome’s enemy, but if that were the case, I don’t think he would have mentioned the noble side of the Queen and the Chancellor when they first met.

    Rather, he would have asked for help in killing another god, or something like that.

    The line seems to be connected but not quite.

    Hieronymus’ inner thoughts are somewhat apparent, but information is still lacking.

    But the leader of this Future Hope Church will continue to bring offerings containing a lot of information. We’ll just have to figure it out slowly.

    First, I thought that my whole body had returned to normal before I put back the dark purple smoke that I had taken out of my body to take away the warmth. And my body had returned to normal. My palms, which had been aching little by little, no longer hurt at all.

    After safely completing the regeneration, I headed to the large underground space where the altar was located with Jerome.

    And there he gives blessings to three people.

    The will of the great god.

    Open the parenthesis and write “Jeronymus’ doctor”, then close the parenthesis and give a reward to the person who received the meaning and carried out the mission.

    One person is fine, while the other two are missing one of their limbs.

    But when I gave the blessing, all their hair turned purple, one person’s skin turned white, and the other two’s skin turned blue.

    Of course, all other scars have disappeared.

    Jerome, who had seen it many times, ordered that the blessings he had received be confirmed. Then, one of the blessed ones took a purple liquid from his hand.

    He points to it and shouts that he has received a great blessing. Jerome used words skillfully to whip up enthusiasm among those below.

    According to God’s will, if you are blessed, you can share in God’s miracles.

    He uses very clever words to shake people’s hearts.

    That’s funny.

    How can he use such a variety of words and sentences when he says the same thing every time? It’s not that he’s good at speaking, but rather that he shows signs of having studied it here and there.

    I don’t think there are many people who can receive this kind of education in a world view close to the modern era.

    I feel like I’m getting closer to the truth, but I can’t seem to make the connection.

    Is it because I lack intelligence?

    There may be a lack of information, but it’s quite frustrating.

    Jerome concluded his talk by preaching the doctrine as he always did, and left with me, leaving the cheering congregation behind.

    So now it’s time to go up from the underground.

    The hallway isn’t straight and takes a few turns, but I’ve memorized it now.

    It’s really interesting that there are many places where the paths are dug in curves rather than straight lines, making it difficult to find your way. It has the advantage of making it easy for first-time visitors to get lost, but it must have been quite difficult to build.

    As you go up the winding hallway, you will come across a large building.

    Although it was created by piecing together information from people who received blessings, this building has a specific shape. And it is circular, based on the place where the stepped pyramid is located underground.

    It’s obvious.

    If anything, it’s highly likely that they’re preparing to sacrifice the people here, or something similar.

    If I could figure that out, I’d know what technique summoned me.

    As of now, most of those who receive blessings are disposable workers. Rather, those who are brought in from outside have more knowledge.

    You can get information from both sides, though.

    Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone. No.

    one.

    One. There is one. I don’t know what it means, but I’ve seen it.

    An old man who had just been warmed up.

    Oh my.

    That’s weird.

    This is the sacred script used in Yeongranggyo.

    A lot of the information I’ve acquired so far is flashing through my head.

    The Kingdom of Yeongrang. Spiritual leader. Leader of a cult. Hunting for gods. Gods and people. Destroyed by the Kingdom of Ansellus.

    aha.

    I get it.

    Jerome is a survivor of the Principality of Yeongrang. He is also a very high-ranking person.

    I was looking for a place to look to find a technique that could call me.

    Renew your goals.

    The big goal is still to find a technology that can call me into this world.

    But the small goal can go beyond finding traces.

    Next goal.

    Exploring the fallen kingdom of Yeongrang.

    Let’s take it slow.

    Because there is still plenty of time.

    I came back to my room smiling.
