Chapter 240. Spirit Meeting (6) + Castle War (1) On the other hand, the atmosphere in the castle was quite negative.

“We must not accept spiritism that goes against the doctrine!”

“Right!”

Since most of the people believe in the teachings of the church, the leak of information about the meeting had a significant impact.

Since childhood, spirits have been taught the witchcraft of the wicked.

Also, as people of the Holy Land, they could not easily accept them as they had lived faithfully with their faith.

“Why are you abandoning God’s teachings!!”

All at once, they flocked to the temple called the temple and cried out for their faith, causing trouble for bishops and high-ranking priests from all over the world.

The petition that Princess Pena's case should not be acknowledged shook the Holy Land in confusion.

“...what the hell is this all about?”

“I never thought the meeting would turn out like this.”

The high-ranking priests had to gather in the conference hall and put their heads together and sigh.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but they couldn't help but rot their headaches.

As Arel pointed out, the Doctrine of the Holy Kingdom teaches that the perception of spirits is particularly low.

Of course, they also tried to do their own research on the reason for the doctrine.

But there was little interest.

In the first place, Spiritual Art was actually a practiced skill, and I didn't think it would be controversial.

It was not easy to place the blame on Ernesia Kingdom.

As well as the fact that Arel was the first to question the doctrine.

I can't figure out where to start when I refute his thesis.

“...Why did the contents of the meeting leak?”

The most troubling thing is why the incident at that time was leaked.

It was even known that the saintess took a step back by summoning the spirit king.

That's why the devotees who especially respect the saintess flock here and there, forming a voice.

Even though they usually call out to the holy war, they know that the current situation is undesirable.

That's why it was so sweaty.

“Okay. What the hell is the saintess doing?”

“...he said he had something to think about... he hasn't been seen for several days already.”

“Eh... tsk tsk! So, is that a bitch?”

As soon as he hears that he is not there, he immediately clicks his tongue and speaks insults.

In fact, even among the priests, the issue of the saint was a headache.

It doesn't change that she is still the head of the real power.

The problem isn't the spirits.

“What the hell is the saintess thinking?”

One of the priests, who understood what the murmur meant, frowned.

“Are you in doubt?”

Yes.

Arel's suspicion about the truth about the plague.

The incomprehensible actions of the saintess reflected in the record he showed.

and an analysis of the black bottle he later submitted as evidence.

More than anything else, the priests of the Holy Kingdom were perplexed by the suspicion he raised.

What's even more troubling is that the matter is also being circulated in the public eye.

“It must be a mothership, isn’t it? Didn't the saintess say that too?”

The priest who supported the saintess raised her eyes, saying that suspicion was unreasonable.

“What are we going to do if we don’t believe in the saintess?”

In his pure enthusiasm, the rest of them simply kept their mouths shut and averted their gaze.

It's not that I don't understand.

Even so, I can't just ignore this confusion.

Each of them is suspicious that it may not be a hoax.

In the first place, Arele Ernesia is not an idiot.

He is coldly judging that there is no way he will come up with a purely fabricated record.

“Other than that, where is he? Why doesn't he show up?”

I inquire about the whereabouts of Priest Kellius, who showed exceptionally strange behavior during the meeting.

“that is. Since returning home, his whereabouts have been unclear.”

“damn!”

He uttered swear words that did not suit the law.

sure

Even among the priests, opinions gradually began to diverge.

Gradually, the voices of those who defended her are getting smaller.

However, Nelvenia continued to have no doctor, as if she didn't care about it at all.

They just locked themselves in and didn't let anyone in.

Some priests sarcastically said, “It looks like you are praying to God.”

It would not be wrong to say that it is a prayer.

“What is this?”

Locked in alone in the soundproof prayer room, Nelvania raised a displeased voice at someone.

Yes. Not wrong.

However, the target she prays for and consults with may not be God.

“Isn’t it different from what you said?”

Now Nelvenia is talking to someone.

But it was not a revelation from God.

In the first place, she had never heard the voice of God since she was born.

In any situation, in any hardship, God has never heard his voice.

Instead, the saints of successive generations listened to someone else's voice instead of God.

“Recorder????? I never heard of such a thing!!”

Nelvenia is furious, exuding an atmosphere completely different from her usual words and actions.

Then she heard someone's voice in her ear.

[Seriously, saintess.]

I can't hear her figure. Only a voice rang in my head.

[The only thing this body interferes with is your fate. When it comes to talent from other countries, I can't get involved.

Didn't I tell you?]

[I must have said it. I just give you a chance and knowledge, but how you use it is up to you. It is an iron rule that has been handed down to generations of saints as well. You are no different.]

Nelvenia could not bear to refute.

He is aware that not being careful is his mistake.

As if scolding her, that voice continues to evoke words.

[I gave you strength as you wished.

And gave it another chance. Still, isn't it unreasonable to complain to me?]

“...I see. It certainly doesn't make sense.”

It's embarrassing, but she had to admit it.

I am not in a position to complain.

“Certainly... you are the one who gave me the chance to rise again as a saint in this age after I passed away lamenting that day... You are the one who gave me this power and knowledge. but.”

She opened her eyes again.

[Is there anything you want to ask?]

“Yes, I would like to confirm one thing.

Arell Ernesia's behavior is so strange. Are you...?”

[No.]

He denied what Nelvania was trying to say before he even heard it.

[I'm not involved with him.

He and I have nothing to do with it.]

However, Nelvania still couldn't help but look suspiciously at it.

[Think about it. Doesn't it make sense? I know what your aspirations are, do you think I would do anything to hinder them? I also agree with your aspirations.]

“...Let's believe that.”

However, the other person must already know that her voice is wary.

Still, he doesn't bother mentioning it.

[So what are you going to do now?]

Instead, he asks her provocatively.

[It's not possible to be locked in like this. Putting aside the Ernesia Kingdom, if you don't act, your followers will also have someone questioning them.]

The voice was calmly discussing the current situation.

It's true.

The current situation is that people are gathering at the temple every day, asking questions about the response to the Spiritual Shrine and seeking clarification on the suspicion of an infectious disease.

Nelvania listened quietly and nodded.

“I know. In any case, we have to decide what to do next.”

However, even as she says that, her gestures as she nervously walks around the room are honest.

[Would you explain?]

“No, that would only lead to a long, sluggish argument.”
