86. Am I a saint?

“Maybe it’s because I went to the academy with the saintess! It’s clear that God has been keeping an eye on you!”

“No way…?”

Even Fritz showed a calm expression at the princess’s excitement. Still, she was a princess of a country. It was natural that something seemed to be there.

Anyway, I nodded.

There was no reason to deny it. And this was enough.

From now on, even if I touch the patient, they will never disturb me.

But there was one thing I hadn’t thought of.

“It’s really amazing! After all, there was a reason why it was the best in Trier!”

The princess’s fuss was okay. This level could have been easily overcome.

However, I didn’t know that other people would make a fuss.

At that moment, many people hiding in the alley came out. Then he started fussing a lot while looking at me.

“Poetry, you received a revelation from God?!”

“Well, then it couldn’t be…?!”

“Seo, saint…!”

“You are a saint!”

“A person blessed by God…!!”

I already knew that there were many signs lurking in the alleys. Most of them were vagabonds who didn’t even have the courage to approach us.

Naturally, I didn’t really care about them. They were people you didn’t have to worry about anyway. It was right to just focus on the princess in front of me.

But I guess that wasn’t the case.

Soon many people approached me. And then I got down on my knees.

dump.

“Please, please save us!!”

“Seo, saint!!”

“Please save me!!”

I was a little embarrassed.

‘what? ‘You believe this story so much?’

This was just an excuse to make the future schedule easier. That too was an impromptu excuse.

Fritz’s initial reaction was probably one of bewilderment.

But it was different for them.

There were already a lot of dying patients near them. Of course, they will be filled with fear that they too will soon be infected.

And in that state, a person who received revelation from God appeared.

This was also a person who tried to directly touch the patient’s body without hesitation. It was an action that could not be done without revelation from God.

Of course something will feel different.

Plus, my name was pretty famous. Even the outcasts in the back alleys knew about it.

“Hey, aren’t you the mercenary king?! I heard you are close to a saint…!”

“I also heard that you use incredible magic!”

“If you are that kind of person, you must be a saint! Please save us!”

To them, I was someone they couldn’t even look at.

If it was just a kid from a back alley who received a revelation from God, no one would have believed it. But I had a great reputation in Trier. Of course it had to be different.

Anyway, this is why everyone was making such a fuss.

Soon the number of people flocking to me began to increase.

Before we knew it, more people heard the shouting and began to gather.

“The saint has come?!”

“Seo, saint!!”

“Oh…! It’s a miracle from God!!”

“Please save my daughter! I’m dying now!”

I saw Fritz’s embarrassed face. And this was the same for the princess.

“I can’t believe there were so many people having such a difficult time…”

“This is not the time. We need to escape quickly! You might give them a disease!”

As time went by, the number of people increased. It had already filled the alley. This meant that there were many desperate people.

“Profit! Everyone get out of the way! Where are you approaching with such a dirty body?”

Eventually Fritz began to draw his sword. They were trying to escape even if it meant cutting down people.

His sharp blade began to emerge from its sheath.

Sreung.

Probably, with Fritz’s personality, he would definitely cut people.

It was certain.

It was then.

At that moment my hand moved.

It was also an unbelievably fast movement.

And that hand.

chuck.

It stopped Fritz’s sword from being drawn out.

I simply pressed the upper part of the handle with my hand to block the sword.

“What is this?!”

It would have been impossible in the past. I was the weakest member of the warrior party. Of course, I never dreamed of something like this.

But things have changed now.

Before I knew it, I had become a third awakener. It was different from Fritz, who was still in the second awakening.

In addition, he became a mercenary king.

Both power and reputation have increased to an incomparable level.

“Ugh…!!”

Fritz tried to pull out the sword with all his might. But there was no way the sword could be pulled out.

I leisurely blocked his attack.

And looking at him, I opened my mouth.

“That is not right.”

“What?! under! Are you really trying to imitate a saint?!”

Actually, I didn’t really care whether those tramps died or not. I didn’t really care.

But suddenly a good idea occurred to me.

‘I’m a saint…?’

It was also an idea that could quickly gain many admirers.

‘Yes, we can’t just target academy students forever.’

Now the warrior and the duke were joining hands. Of course it was a bad situation.

And in times like this, it was best to strengthen my own strength. In the end, the only thing I could trust in the end was my own power.

‘And in order to increase military power, it is best to strengthen the battle of all forces.’

The advanced magic you are learning will also be of great help. But more than anything, it was best to strengthen the all-out competition.

And in order to strengthen Manjinjeon, it was necessary to receive the worship of many people.

‘Does it mean that tramps have less strength?’

All I had to do was receive the respect of many people. It didn’t matter whether they were young, sick, poor, or weak.

Even the worship from below was of great help to me.

I quickly changed my facial expression.

It was a face that was kind yet difficult to approach. It was an imitation of the face of a benevolent bishop I had seen before. Of course, I also planned to change my tone of voice.

At that moment, I heard Fritz’s voice shouting at me.

“Uh, tell me?! What kind of saint are you?! Do you feel flattered that those tramps are floating you?”

There was a lot of anger in his voice.

I kept ignoring him, and eventually I couldn’t stand it anymore.

‘Well, the toy you used to play with a long time ago is hitting you… It can’t be a good feeling.’

I turned my head and looked at him.

Unlike the kind face from before, it was a face that did not contain any emotions.

And looking at him, I opened my mouth.

“I received a revelation from God. It was a revelation to save them.”

“What does that have to do with anything?!”

“Now you were about to draw your sword at those lambs that God asked you to save. Could it be that the evil God spoke of… is you?”

“What bullshit… hmm?”

His face turned white at my words.

It was because at that moment I realized the destructive power of my question.

Before I knew it, I had improved not only in swordsmanship but also in political power. It was thanks to honing it in the jungle-like academy.

And with his honed political power, he achieved a number of conversions.

It was a question that, if answered incorrectly, would immediately result in the Heretic Questioner. Being the smart person he is, he figured it out right away.

Perhaps, even if a rumor were to be heard, it would suffer a huge political blow.

And it wasn’t just tramps here. In fact, there was even a princess.

‘There is no way a princess who is a member of the royal family would miss this opportunity.’

Soon he quickly rolled his eyes.

Then I closed my eyes and joined in my acting.

“Soo, it seems like evil has been placed on me for a moment! But the saint solved it! It’s okay now!”

I looked slightly surprised by his performance.

‘Indeed… the Fritz of politics.’

He was famous not only as the Knight of Flame, but also for his outstanding political skills. The aristocratic faction dominated by Duke Philip even developed its own independent force.

Of course, he wasn’t very clever.

‘If I had denied it, I would have been in more trouble.’

People had already clearly seen him trying to draw his sword. Making excuses here would only make the situation worse.

But he quickly admitted his mistake. And he blamed it on evil. It was quite a number.

Anyway, now it was my turn to respond to his acting.

I nodded and acknowledged him.

‘If you push further, you won’t see much effect. It is more beneficial to emphasize one’s benevolence.’

“Oh…! Evil has truly disappeared. I don’t feel any evil. I’m so glad.”

Thank you “. It’s all thanks to me, Jace… more.”

His voice trembled as he said my name. Probably, it seemed quite humiliating.

By the way, our acting wasn’t without any effect.

Soon the loud voices of the tramps were heard.

“I guess you really are a saint!”

“I defeated evil in an instant! Awesome!”

“Seo, saint…! Please save us!!”

All the people who doubted me even slightly disappeared.

This is why I did not push Fritz further, but instead looked after him.

And this was the most important.

“Dae, that’s amazing! It was true that I received a revelation from God!”

Even the princess was completely fooled.

She looked at me with sparkling eyes. It seemed like he really thought of me as a saint.

‘They say high faith is a weakness… That’s exactly right.’

Some say that princesses are all good, but that excessive religiousness is a problem. And that refers to cases like this.

Anyway, it didn’t matter to me.

I nodded and stepped forward.

“Please move aside for a moment.”

“Yes, yes!”

At my words, Fritz quickly moved away as if he were a servant.

I passed him.

And then I went out in front of people.

Soon I saw many people looking at me.

I looked at them and asked a question.

“Do you know anyone who got sick here in the early days?”

“In the early days…?”

“Was it before the virus spread?”

“Oh, I know. But they are all already dead.”

“Oh… I see.”

Well, quite some time has passed since the outbreak occurred. In the beginning, it seemed like the infected could not be saved.

Instead I changed the question.

“Then does anyone know why the plague started in the back alleys?”

This was a question I asked just in case.

Soon, various people started speaking.

“Well, I heard it was because we were dirty!”

“It’s because I’m of low status…”

“I also heard that I was caught because my faith was weak.”

However, it wasn’t very helpful.

‘This is an artificially spread infectious disease. There must be an original origin…’

He probably didn’t spread it by meeting people in person. There was no way he would have done something so bothersome due to his personality as an archmage.

‘What would I have done? If it were me, I’d probably…’

It was then.

“Well, my mom is still alive!”

“Hmm?”

An unfamiliar little child appeared among the crowd.

It looked like a girl, but she was quite thin and scruffy.

And his face was full of pain. The body had already turned slightly blue.

To put it simply, it was said that he was suffering from an illness.

However, seeing as I could move around, it seemed like it was still early days.
