65 The New Vassal

Corr looked more serious than ever. He looked somewhat surprised when he saw the empty tteok box but he looked at him as he spoke solemnly.

“Let me escort you.”

Corr said this with an extremely serious expression! It seemed like Minhyuk had become a principal sinner. Alas. He was treated like a bad person even though he did something good. Minhyuk hung his head down.

‘Heuk...... But the tteoks were really delicious.’

He believed that he would be given severe punishments. What was worse was that even Corr, who was standing in front of him, was a very strong person. Minhyuk thought that it was punishments that were waiting for him in the Athenae Temple.

At that moment, Corr sent a pigeon over.

Flap, flap, flap.

Raphael, the number one in Korea’s Paladin Rankings, was on his way to Athenae Temple.

‘Today is the day that Rowena will pray in the Athenae Temple.’

This was the day when Rowena would make her public appearance. Plenty of users would flock at the temple just to see her face. And the number one Paladin, Raphael, was smitten with her. It was strange for users to have a crush on NPCs but he couldn’t help it since she was such a beautiful woman.

Just like he had expected, there were plenty of people flocking in the Athenae Temple.

“It’s the number one in the Paladin rankings, Raphael!”

“Wow!”

But even though Raphael was sitting in such a high position, he was still nervous whenever he entered the temple. He was also a member of the Athenae Religion but he surmised that Rowena only saw him as an ant on the sidewalk.

But that’s her charm!

Raphael had a dream. He dreamt that he would be able to brush his fingers against her palms one day.

Just like that, more than thousands of users gathered in the temple. Then, hundreds of Paladins and Athenean priests began to move. That was when Rowena appeared in front of him.

“Wow......!”

“She’s really beautiful!”

“It’s not only in Athenae! I believe she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!”

“Joy Co. Ltd. said that there would be no woman that is more beautiful than Rowena!”

The users were all in awe and admiration as they watched her move forward.

Raphael turned back to where she came from. He saw a carriage parked in the direction where she came from. He could see a paladin and a sulky man, presumably a foreigner, coming out of the carriage.

“What’s this? Is he a principal sinner in Athenae Religion?”

“Corr will not move unless he’s escorting Rowena or guarding against a great sinner in the Athenae Religion, right?”

“That’s right. He’s probably a great sinner.”

This was the thought that passed through the heads of countless users. But then, an extraordinary thing happened in front of them. All of the priests and paladins knelt down on one knee in unison. Their actions were uniformly done without the slightest bit of error at all.

“We greet Athenae Religion’s benefactor! Brother Minhyuk!”

“......!”

“......!”

“......!”

They couldn’t believe that the believers of the Athenae Religion who served the God of Athenae and were well known to be proud and strict would kneel down like this.

Then, they saw Rowena walking towards the mysterious user as she also knelt down on one knee. Then, she slowly bent down to give a chaste kiss on the back of his hand that she had grasped earlier before opening her soft and plump lips to talk.

“I, the Saintess Rowena, swear to respect and cherish the Athenae Religion’s benefactor, Minhyuk, forever.”

Then, she smiled softly as she slowly raised her head to look at him. The users felt extreme shock and jealousy when they saw her reddened cheeks.

“N, no way......!”

“M, my Rowena!!”

“That look is definitely......!”

“Who the hell is that punk!”

“I’ll kill you for sure!”

He was a thief who robbed all the people, regardless of their age, of their dream woman!

“......?”

And Minhyuk, the principal and great sinner, tilted his head in confusion.

“We heard from Sir Voloch, the Pope’s Guardian. You purposely took the tteoks and used a carriage instead of warping here.”

“......?”

Minhyuk was also confused.

‘But I told Voloch-nim that I wanted to savor the warmth of the tteoks that’s why I rode the carriage?’

Rowena continued to talk.

“You knew the moment you received it! You knew that it would bring forth a disaster so you rode in a carriage and drove further away from the Athenae Temple. You did this to save us, the Athenae Religion!”

Rowena’s eyes brightened.

‘Th, that’s not it...... I just want to feel the warmth of the tteoks.’

“In addition! You tried to find ways to get rid of the disaster but you couldn’t find a way to get rid of the tteoks. That’s why you......”

In the end, tears fell down from Rowena’s eyes.

“You sacrificed yourself. You ate all of the tteoks and got rid of its existence. We know that foreigners are living the life of the immortals since you’re blessed by God Athenae but it wouldn’t erase the pain that you will experience in the process of dying! Oh, how painful it was!”

Rowena squeezed her hands together to stop them from shaking and trembling.

Looking at the scene, Minhyuk thought that he shouldn’t mention the fact that he ate the tteoks just because he wanted to eat them.

“I succeeded in eradicating the tteoks. It was really a hard and painful process. But I really had no choice but to eat them all! It was inevitable!”

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

“......!”

“......!”

“......!”

Rowena, the priests and the paladins were all captivated and enchanted by his achievements.

And the thought that flashed through Minhyuk’s head was......

Nice! I killed two birds with one stone! I ate all the tteoks and the Athenae Temple fell in love with me!

Meanwhile, tears fell down nonstop from Rowena’s happy and thrilled eyes.

Demon worshippers existed all over the world and they all believed in different existences. The demons had a system that divided the Demon Monarchs into three.

The first Demon Monarch was Verus.

The second Demon Monarch was Gorac.

The third Demon Monarch was Gremory.

And Carn was one of Verus’ worshippers. To be precise, he was once the fourth among the Strongest Men in the world. Then, he was called on by Verus and he became one of his worshippers.

Verus originally gave Carn his magi so that he could temporarily convert his magi into holy power. Using that power, he would move the Saint's Sword, meet with Verus and deliver the tteoks that were filled with curses and disasters to the Athenae Temple. But all of a sudden, everything went awry and had gone wrong just because of a foreigner.

Just when he was trying to figure out a way to deal with him, he heard the voice of Demon Verus.

Along with his words, a parchment and a bottle filled with black liquid appeared in front of Carn. Then, he checked it right away.

The space distortion parchment could create a boundary and block everyone from entering the space within a 10-m radius from the user. The duration of the parchment was one hour.

After Carn checked the information about the bottle filled with black liquid, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.

‘If I drink this liquid......’

All of his stats would be affected by magi and would be temporarily increased by more than 30%. In other words, the previous fourth Strongest Man would become even stronger with just this bottle of liquid.

In the end, they had failed to make the Athenae Religion fall into hell with the tteoks.

Right now, Carn turned his head. He could see the priests, paladins and even Rowena acting polite towards the foreigner who was just a chef.

Rowena finally started her journey as she climbed the carriage together with the foreigner. The fancy carriage moved onwards as it was pulled by pure white horses.

He could see that even the commander of the paladins, who firmly supported Rowena, was within the 10-m range. To be honest, if the commander of the paladins, Corr, was removed then he would be able to easily kill Rowena. After all, except for the name Saintess and her buffing ability, Rowena was extremely weak.

‘Now’s the time.’

Poof!

He quickly opened the cap of the bottle.

And......

Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp—

He started to drink the contents of the bottle.
