A statue of a saint.

It was a statue commemorating the sacrifice of a saint who sacrificed herself to end the Continental War.

This place, located in a religious order established in the empire, was also a sacred place visited by many people.

A line of priests passed beneath it.

“Receiving a trust on your own…huh…truly…”

“Mr. Klein knows more about trusts than anyone else…”

It was a hot topic of gossip among high-ranking priests these days.

“It is an oracle that is not granted even if the Pope asks for it.”

“How hard is the preparation process?”

They talked for a long time about the topic, ‘How great is an oracle?’

Among them were stories of their experiences trying to receive oracles.

And not far from them, Klein was walking alone.

Klein couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of them bragging about the hard work they had done.

“It’s not even funny.”

Since when did the hard work of priests become something to be praised for?

A priest is one who does not hesitate to do difficult work and sacrifice his body.

Klein could not hide his bitterness at the behavior of the so-called high priests.

‘How did the church become so full of people like that…’

From Klein’s perspective, it was something he couldn’t help but feel sad about.

The subject of the priests’ conversation changed again.

It’s a sarcastic comment on Klein, who told a ridiculous story.

“Hehe…”

That loud voice in broad daylight when people are walking around.

Plus, it was just embarrassing that the content was about him.

Klein, who saw the apprentice priests greeting him with the same embarrassed expression on his face, secretly looked away.

Because I felt like I knew what they were thinking without even having to hear it.

“Was what Hans said true…”

I received a meaningless message from Hans.

The message was to be careful because Master will be talked about by people.

If I hadn’t said that this was an oracle given to Chris, I wouldn’t have yelled at him.

Of course, Klein didn’t believe that.

This is because trust is not something that is handed down so lightly.

“……”

But like a lie, those words became reality.

It started when I returned to the church and started talking about Chris.

I often heard comments containing ridicule, and even if it wasn’t ridicule, it was hard to hear anything good.

Klein also understood.

Even if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have reacted the same way.

Sigh –

Klein moved to a quiet place and took out the crystal ball from his pocket.

This is because there were things to check before entering the meeting.

Not long after, a voice came out of the crystal sphere.

– Yes, Master.

Klein’s eyebrows twitched when he heard Hans’ voice.

“I heard it was in the imperial palace. I fell out with Chris.”

– That is…

Hans’ lame excuse continued.

– When I came to my senses, I found myself in the imperial palace.

“….”

– Paramon said he needed a witness and sent me…

Klein’s frozen expression relaxed.

If his close friend did it, there must be a reason.

Hans couldn’t have stopped Paramon from doing what he did, so he couldn’t have scolded him.

“Help with whatever you need.”

– yes. Master.

“The soul that becomes a race makes progress…”

Klein, who was speaking, turned his head and closed his mouth.

At the same time, the voice coming from the crystal sphere suddenly stopped.

“I didn’t know you had a hobby of stealing.”

“It looks like Klein is worried about many things.”

“Huh…”

Klein’s expression as he looked at the priest facing him was not good.

Berthe.

A noble from a fallen kingdom.

A person who abandoned his noble family name to live a life for God.

However, he has a clearer eye for profit than any other priest.

“Still doing useless things.”

“Someone has to do it. I can’t avoid suffering.”

Berthe answered with a gentle expression.

It was an attitude that could be seen as an example of a humble priest.

But Klein knew better than anyone else what kind of person Berthe was.

“Don’t say things like it’s hard work. If you give up half of your wealth, your suffering will be reduced by half.”

Berthe laughed that off and hinted.

“Just in case, Mr. Klein’s opinion will not be accepted.”

Klein had only one opinion.

The necromancer’s forces must be rooted out before they become active.

The idea was to dispatch paladins and priests to help the empire.

Although it was an urgent matter, it could not be carried out due to their opposition.

“You guys who barely started walking during the Continental War are talking so carelessly about what you know.”

Klein passed by Berthe and muttered lowly.

“Always remember that I am watching.”

His close friends are retired and living a comfortable life, so why suffer alone?

At that moment, a voice passed through Klein’s mind.

– Problems arise because the walls that are supposed to stay still keep moving around…

This was what Chris said, saying it was an oracle.

If I live like that saying, will I be able to live the rest of my life in peace?

Will great priests be able to find a place in the denomination?

Klein bowed to the statue of the saint and turned around.

“5 silver… It’s so different from Verte’s greed.”

According to Hans, Chris was clearly at the center of the incident.

They also said that Chris was the only one who could remove their curse.

“If we just bring that guy… we might be able to proceed with ease…”

***

“I really broke my tooth.”

“…It’s okay if you don’t show it.”

It was the man I remember.

Last time, he was a man who stopped me while I was busy and asked me to check out the new store.

“That’s why I told you to be careful with your food.”

It was quite uncomfortable to see him open his mouth at me and show me his broken molar.

There is no need to show it.

“Is there any way to make this grow again?”

“…That shouldn’t come to me.”

I’m the one who looks after the baby’s teeth, not the one who fixes the teeth.

And once a person’s teeth fall out, that’s it.

“Wouldn’t looking at a mole provide a way to grow teeth?”

“There is nothing like that! Next!”

There are people like this wherever you go.

I think Shinjeom is an all-rounder…

I stopped the man who was trying to put 5 coppers into the money box.

“I didn’t even look at the jeom, but why do you put bokchae in it? Just go.”

After letting him look at his molars as much as he wants, he serves bokchae…

Isn’t it necessary to look at fortunes to receive good luck?

The next person to sit down was the lady.

Just by looking at it, you can see why I came.

“Ma’am, you live alone, right?”

“…How do you do that?”

“It seems so.”

He is a person who is extremely unlucky with men.

If you don’t meet the right person, live alone for the rest of your life.

There didn’t even seem to be any sign of meeting someone.

“Hmm…”

As I was wondering whether I should at least write a talisman, I heard something unexpected from the woman.

“Actually, I am meeting someone these days…”

“…Yes? That can’t be possible?”

“….I feel a little bad.”

It’s not that I don’t, but if I can’t meet a man, how can I meet him?

I didn’t feel any connection around the lady.

“Oh, that’s it.”

A man who stopped by even though he wasn’t a seller.

There was something to point out.

“Ajumma, do you have a lot of money?”

“How can that be…?”

Strange looks continued from those around me.

This wasn’t found out in the same way as divination.

How can you not tell when the clothes you are wearing are shiny?

“That person got involved because of the money.”

“…my money?”

“Okay. If I keep seeing that guy, I’ll lose a lot of money.”

There are people who argue with me when I say things like this.

It’s natural to be angry that your lover is after your property.

It wouldn’t be strange if the mat was turned over right away.

However, it is difficult for a dot to explain the context.

It remains to be seen what methods and methods will be aimed at for wealth.

“….”

The woman’s silence continued.

He seemed to be thinking deeply.

I could feel the anticipation that a fight might break out in those around me.

But that won’t happen.

Because this lady has very thin ears.

“That’s what I heard.”

As soon as those words were said, exclamation burst out.

“Huh….!”

“This is what it means to be brave.”

“To dissolve, to dissolve.”

Anyway, this is the end for this lady.

There aren’t any more bullet points coming out.

“Next!”

“Wait!…Do I have to live alone my whole life?”

“Hmm…”

When I looked at the lady’s face, she seemed quite earnest.

It is not that easy to fix one’s chin.

“There is a way…”

“Tell me anything.”

There is something like a panacea that works well for bad things.

This method is also the best when there is no particular bullet point.

“I live by helping people. Because if you do good things, you will be blessed.”

If you accumulate virtue, you will be blessed.

It’s a given.

Because this applies to almost everyone.

I nodded and watched the woman leave, and as soon as I saw the person who would sit next, I cursed.

“This is a pure thief.”

“…Yes?”

It was like that from the perspective.

It’s sinister and quiet.

The faint passing scene was also the same.

The appearance of quietly following someone and following them.

And the appearance of quietly taking something.

He definitely looked like a thief.

“Someone please report this person to Lord Randolph…”

Before I could finish speaking, the thief approached me and whispered secretly.

Very urgently.

“I..I am the Count’s direct informant…!”

“…?”

“You are not a criminal, so you do not need to report it…”

It was a job similar to a thief.
