episode_0037

Mari, who could no longer bear it, came forward, spitting out a series of bloody six-headed letters.

Ian stood up proudly and sat down quietly as if nothing had happened.

Vivian also pretended not to see it.

All eyes focused on a small woman with curly brown hair and her sleeves rolled up.

Marie boldly blocked Salome’s path.

“Hey, you fucking bitch. Why are you questioning them about that?”

Although she was small in stature, she did not feel discouraged at all when she looked up at Salome.

“Did you get yellow slime instead of a brain on your head? That should be judged by the people who ranked you, why are you holding on to people you don’t like?”

“What… .”

“And why do you bring in other people? Is this a performance art that tries to express with the whole body the lack of commercial morality? All your fucking problems are over, and you can argue with someone who deserves it! Don’t be rude in a crowded place!”

“This is crazy… !”

Salome raised her hand as if to strike her.

“Ah, why? To hit? Oh, hit it. For your information, I am not a superhuman but an ordinary person? When I saw you taking the test, I thought you were a bit strong? If you hit me, everything will turn and fall right away, right? Are you excited? Now, hit it quickly.”

Salome’s hand stopped.

But Marie moved closer and put her face closer.

“Hit, hit, you bitch!”

Marie chuckled as she saw Salome taking a step back.

Then, like Salome did, she looked around and gathered everyone’s attention.

“Now, everyone! It is said that Salome, who came in third place in the MacDerlin Abbey public exam, shows how to kill an ordinary person with a swat! Please enjoy! Hey, what do you think, is this what you wanted? Right? Now hit it fast, hit it fucking fast-!”

“You can’t do this!”

Lydia tried to stop her late, but Marie did not back down.

“Fuck it, I’ve been sitting back and watching, and now I’m pretending to work, damn it!”

Vivian clung tightly to Ian’s arm.

Kati glared at it.

“Lee, Ian… . I’m scared… .”

“… Me too.”

When he saw Marie glowing, Ian’s anger subsided slightly.

However, I must not get on Mari’s nerves from now on.

That’s what I promised.

It was the same with Vivian.

“Stop! Stop it!”

Miriam hurriedly intervened between the two.

Marie huffed, as if she still couldn’t shake off her anger, and glared at Salome, Miriam, and Lydia in turn.

Her gaze was finally fixed on Salome.

“A brat with no guts… .”

Marie, nervously ruffling her hair, walked towards Helena and Rachel.

The two were even more frightened than when they saw Salome.

“Tsk… . Did you see it? That guy is just a braggart and a clueless idiot. If you have a back like that, you won’t be able to do anything, so be aware of that.”

Marie gave that advice and returned to her seat next to Ian.

“Mari, if I did something wrong, please tell me right away.”

“… yes? Haha! What is it, suddenly? I’m not that crazy and incoherent, am I?”

‘… I think that’s right.’

Before the situation calmed down, a dull sound rang out in the testing room.

It was the sound of plate armor clanking.

Everyone’s eyes returned to the entrance to the exam room.

There, there were paladins wearing red cloaks.

The symbolism of the red cloak was clear.

A Holy Knight under the direct control of Seonghwangcheong.

They are also called ‘Ra-jry’ because they are said to be swords wielded by gods.

This is a group that is stationed only at Seonghwangcheong and does not hesitate to do difficult things for the sake of Seonghwagyo.

He is also responsible for weeding out the seeds of conflict within the same Seonghwa Church.

Therefore, they also serve as ‘heresy inquisitors’.

At Lazuri’s appearance, not only Lydia but also Miriam froze.

One of the five Lazri came forward as a representative.

The other four stood behind like stone statues.

“This is Leader Lazuli.”

They don’t have names as individuals.

To work for God, they had to abandon their emotions and personality and forge only their will.

They are simply called Lazuli, or the Holy Knights under the direct control of the Holy Emperor.

The leader glanced at Ian and turned his head.

There was no need to pretend to know each other.

“Little Flame Miriam, the abbot of MacDerlin Abbey… .”

“Now, now, Little Ember Lydia, dispatched paladin… .”

The others also bowed their heads one after another to show respect.

“There was an anonymous report that heretical acts that disrupted doctrine were being committed at MacDullin Abbey.”

At those words, Miriam opened her mouth wide, and Lydia’s complexion turned pale.

“and.”

The leader’s head turned to Salome.

The silver-white armor and bright yellow-rimmed helmet looked sacred and intimidating.

“Salome.”

“Yes, yes, yes… ?”

The watery voice trembled.

Even if you are not a sinful person, you have no choice but to be that way in front of Rajri.

By comparison, they are equivalent to the imperial ‘gendarmes’.

If you look closely, the military police resemble the Holy Knights of the headquarters.

The military police’s handling methods imitated theirs.

Because they forbid murder due to their doctrine, they are a group with more ghost stories than the military police.

Because I think it’s okay to do anything as long as it’s not murder.

“Right before, the sister made a blasphemous remark toward the apostle, calling him ‘selling his body’.”

“Oh, sorry, I was wrong… .”

“The right of summary interrogation is exercised depending on the seriousness of the case.”

The Seonghwa Church does not search for heresy secretly.

As can be seen from the fact that it has become the motif of the military police, it is dealt with on a large scale and publicly.

“Execution.”

As soon as the leader’s words were out, the four paladins rushed in and brought Salome to her knees.

“Now, wait a minute, I’m sorry… ! Breathe!”

The leader stuffed a confession into her mouth.

Soon, the names of the people involved flowed out of Salome’s mouth along with saliva.

Administrative bystanders within the monastery, including Lydia.

And the direct perpetrators who harassed Helena and Rachel along with Salome.

The quiet exam room was filled with Salome’s confession.

“All related persons will be arrested.”

Following the leader’s orders, people were brought forward one by one.

Miriam was not among them.

“Ian, have you really thought about this? ?”

Mercy asked cautiously.

“To this extent… .”

Yesterday, Ian sent Mercy a letter addressed to Lazri.

There was quite a bit of content about heresy and other things.

I just wrote that this monastery was a bit suspicious, so I asked them to come and check it out.

‘It’s an act of heresy…’ . ‘That could happen.’

Believers of Seonghwagyo believe that each and every thing is a part of God.

Insulting or assaulting a fellow believer is no different from doing something like that to God.

Depending on the degree and interpretation, it may be considered an act of heresy.

At the point when the apostle was blasphemed, all such interpretations became unnecessary.

The Paladins of Lazuri took the people away under the guidance of another nun.

In a chaotic atmosphere, Miriam hurriedly took control of the situation.

“If anyone has any questions about the ranking process, please contact me. This concludes the public examination at MacDerlin Abbey. Thank you all for participating.”

The audience was divided into two groups.

Those who go to ask Miriam, those who go to offer suggestions to the nuns.

Among them, of course, Helena and Rachel were unrivaled in popularity.

Among the successful applicants, 5 people were missing, so more people were bound to gather around them.

Looking at the two caught up in the crowd, Marie rested her chin and muttered.

“Hmm. I guess Rachel didn’t fall in love with me… .”

“… What, no, no.”

“You just thought I was that snobbish bitch, right?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Well, that’s true. Actually, I just attacked you earlier because I was angry, right? But now that I think about it, I think it would be nice if he could fall in love with me… .”

“Do you usually attack people when you get that upset?”

“Of course. How do you not hit someone when you’re pissed off?”

“… It doesn’t usually hit that hard. When I look at Marie, I feel like she has multiple lives.”

“All I have is my life, so what can I do with it?”

It was a confident and courageous answer, but somehow it felt bitter.

“There are too many people around Rachel… . I’ll try flirting with other nuns as well.”

Marie woke up first.

“What if Helena goes somewhere else?”

Vivian asked.

“You promised to go with me, but you won’t.”

“That’s right… . For some reason, when I look at it, it looks like an orange and is kind of cute.”

Strawberry (Vivian) said that.

“What do you think? The two of us need to cooperate in the future.”

“What… . Ian is the one you chose, right? Then there is no need to doubt.”

It was Ian who once again confirmed that he was deeply trusted.

“Then the Vivian I chose is definitely a talent that you don’t need to doubt?”

“… … .”

“Even greater than Sylvia… .”

“Don’t… .”

Ian laughed mischievously, looking at Vivian who was embarrassed.

While Ian flirts with Vivian, Helena gets into trouble.

Many people pay attention to Helena.

Also, I hope for Helena’s attention.

Helena was not very happy about this situation.

It was uncomfortable.

It was just filled with Ian’s thoughts.

‘Ian… .’

His gaze was special.

Helena has never been recognized for her abilities.

‘Former manager of the first party. The person who was with Aria… .’

The person recognized his or her functional value.

I acknowledged myself, who thought I was useless.

I promised as if I was possessed that I would follow Ian, but now I am finally convinced.

I want to follow Ian.

sincerely.

I wanted to know what he saw in me.

‘I want to see that too.’

Helena, who made a new promise, saw Ian in the distance.

He was on his way back with the red-haired woman who came with him.

‘uh? Where, where are you going… ?’

Ian was simply leaving Helena’s seat so that she could enjoy her current popularity in peace.

I plan to come back once the commotion subsides.

However, Helena, who had no way of knowing this, suddenly became anxious.

‘I have to hold on…’ . ‘How, what should I do?’

“If you don’t have a place to join, join us… .”

“I taught several temporary heroes at the manager guild… .”

“Sin, sorry! Someone has already decided to join us!”

“Yes? Already?”

“Who are you?”

Helena was distracted by the barrage of questions.

The momentum of the people feels like it’s piercing your skin, and the voices pouring towards you are magnifying and seem to rip your eardrums.

To hold on to her fading consciousness, Helena screamed out loud.

“Well, I belong to Ian… !”

… … .

Ian stopped walking and turned around.

Mercy and Vivian looked at Helena in confusion.

Kati very slowly and eerily turned her head and glared at the woman who had just said that.

All eyes focused on Ian who stopped.

Helena was sweating profusely and asked for help with her eyes.

‘I decided to take you with me, so please take responsibility for it, right?’

I laughed out loud at that cute behavior.

‘You want me to lean on you, right?’

That is his role, and that is what he intended to do from the beginning.

He must be someone his party members can rely on.

This is a fact he knows well.

‘I won’t do anything to you.’

Ian walked towards Helena, Rachel, and the people surrounding them.

‘Anyway, you have a very quick-tempered personality. ‘I expected it from the moment you suddenly stormed out during our first meeting.’

Ignoring the stares of people, Ian boldly took the opportunity to approach Helena.

“Well, that’s right. You have already decided to join me… .”

“That’s right! I belong to Ian!”

“No, I’m not saying that’s right… .”

“He also said he was obsessed with me!”

Ian saw Helena, who had gone overboard and started to run away.

The eyes were slightly out of focus.

‘I need to pay attention to mental care as well… .’

That’s just what I thought.

“I see… .”

Vivian’s low muttering coldly ran over the back of my neck.

At the same time, Kati’s gaze shifted from Helena to Ian.

It was clearly Helena who was in trouble, but suddenly Ian was in trouble.

“I think there is a misunderstanding… .”

Looking at that scene, Mercy sighed and shook her head.

“It’s all your karma… .”

*

Two people who have just arrived at MacDerlin Abbey.

Sylvia and Aria first scanned the interior by hearing.

It was a technique to search invisible places by strengthening one’s hearing to the extreme with mana.

That, too, is something I learned from Ian.

While filtering out information related to Ian.

-Well, I belong to Ian… !

Those words caught both of their ears.

“Ian’s?”

Sylvia muttered those words as if she were crushing them with her mouth.

“Anyone wants… ?”

Compared to Sylvia, who was flustered, Aria was calm, but only on her facial expression.

She simply found this situation ridiculous and sneered in her heart.

‘I couldn’t have it so I kicked it out, but in the end, we meet again like this.’

The absurdity made me burst into bitter laughter.

‘Where did it go wrong… .’

Two people from the first hero party.

Sylvia and Aria arrived.
