Chapter 2101: Extra: Short Story Collection I
Burying is the Best
Adrian and Levin Cloud were arguing about a dilemma in front of the Tree of Life and Death. The dilemma is due to the twin prophets asking them a question. The question was not
difficult to answer but the answer actually depends on an individual.
"What is the best way to punish a sinner that needs redemption?" Vitae asked as there have been an influx of people that come to the territory due to repenting.
"The answer to that will depend on what kind of sin they have committed. Based on our doctrine, forgiveness should be given to those that repents but should be given to those that did not do any severe crime. Since the Church of the Twin Gods also respects the law of the area or kingdom, they are in then their punishment would defend on the country." Levin Cloud stated as he answered based on the teachings of the church.
"What about, Big Bro Equinox?" Mortem asked.
"If you really want them to repent then burying them is the best." Adrian answered what his mother told him before.
"Back then, your uncles and aunts were very mischievous. They do not stop even if they are reprimanded. In the end, your grandfather had to bury them." Adrian's mother stated.
"Bury them alive?!" The little Adrian asked when he was just a small kid.
"Yes. They would get buried but only from the neck down. They would only get dug up when they have repented." Adrian's mother stated.
"Will you bury me as well when I am naughty?!" The little Adrian stated with teary eyes.
"If mommy sees you become very naughty then she will, but I know that my baby will always be in his best behavior." Adrian's mother stated but her words still linger in Adrian's ears.
Adrian was never buried but that is because he was always in his best behavior when his mother is around. He would only turn into a goofball among his real friends and rarely in front of his father. He almost saw Mina get punished by that, but she ran away when she saw their mother digging a hole. The hole was not for her punishment though as it was just for a gardening project that she was going to do.
"What are you teaching the kids!?" Levin Cloud stated as he feared that the twin prophets will become strange.
"If that is so, please do not interrupt Lady Hexy as she is performing Curse Extraction right now." The wood elf priest stated as she seemed to have guessed that Creepysoo barged inside due to a misunderstanding.
Hexy was incredibly focused as she transferred the cursed energy inside of the young boy to the cursed item. The boy looked like he was in pain, but Hexy used some sort of spell to ease the pain that he was feeling. Creepysoo was beyond impressed at what he saw that he did not notice that he was already looking directly at Hexy.
"She is awesome. Such control is out of this world." Creepysoo thought.
"Done." Hexy stated as the young boy looked better as his color returned.
"Thank you very much for curing my son. Lady Hexy is our savior so please come for a meal sometimes." The young boy's mother stated.
"It was not difficult as the one that cursed the village was already dealt with. The aftereffects are still there which is why the priests from the Church of the Twin Gods will be on alert. The others in the village are also affected so I am now going to them." Hexy stated and then she
noticed Creepysoo.
"Thank you, Lady Hexy. Your aid is always a good thing for us as you are a master when it comes to absorbing curses." The two priests stated as they vowed towards Hexy with great
respect.
"Guild Officer Creepysoo, do you need something from me?" Hexy asked as she often calls them guild officer as they are part of the founding members.
"Not really. I just followed you because I wanted to ask about the cursed item. I did not want to bother you which is why I only appeared now." Creepysoo stated as he suddenly became
shy.
"You also like cursed items! It seems that the guild officer is also a fan of it like me." Hexy
stated.
"You can just call me Creepysoo. Being called guild officer makes me sound old when we are just the same age." Creepysoo stated and that was the time they started to get close.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
