179 Lesson 49: Divergence

Needless to say once again, what the Divinity of Law does (once again) is the Law. And me and Wisteria played a big stand in the Pleasure Street to get the wounded out and break the law. If one incident last night was represented, it was more obvious than seeing fire to be held accountable.

That was done by homologous beings (Anima) and not by Wisteria's intentions - such an interpretation could not have led to the divinity of the law or the official constitution of Berca, and Wisteria would be captured. I, myself, feel the danger of Wisteria, but I'm not trying to seize it right away, and I'm responsible for scaling up the damage.

Well, when it comes to me, although it was only too late to deal with it, it's true that I protected Berca, so I won't be held guilty.

But Wisteria's guilt, which caused so many injuries and damage to the city, must be aggravated. Either he can be decapitated in prison, or he goes to a long prison, or in any case, the end manifested by the demon god (puzzle) who ate and killed the host (wisteria) is inevitable.

To avoid that ending, I went back to Berca to see Cardinal Cyrara on that foot. To explain one thing last night, of course.

I could have decided to pretend I didn't know, but when I did, it was likely that the legal god and the Berkan government would arrange for Wisteria to be nominated. I can't let Wisteria, who has put a finger on me, live a long, eye-catching life ahead of me. If you've misbehaved, it's the muscles that take on the sins that the other person carries with you.

For this it is easier to preach Cardinal Cyrara than an unknown Berca official.

There was also a math.

"In the name of Noah Carnelius, I swear on this occasion that I will surely reward you for this grace."

That is what Pope Noah said to me when he defeated the Immortal King (Sharamon) in the forest of Titis on the Day of Judgment. If we put this papal covenant forward, we stepped on it that Wisteria would not be sentenced to extreme imprisonment. However, I wasn't entirely confident, so Wisteria and Renamaria decided to have them wait outside the temple.

- In conclusion, my request went through. But the process leading up to it will have a far worse appearance than I expected.

Cardinal Cyrara received an early morning visit, but it wasn't until I talked to her that her face was calm. As the story progressed, the look on the Cardinal's face became all too harsh, and by the end of the conversation, his gaze as sharp as a needle looked at me.

The slightly pronounced words of the Cardinal are as low and heavy as expressions.

"As for the battle of Titis, it was written in a letter from the Holy See. In the writ, Sacred Lords came to say that if so requested, it would be as good as possible. There are arrows and katiers, and I meant to do it myself. Let me put it on top of that. I don't think it's sane to disobey God and surround Dark Elves."

I couldn't help but be surprised at the strength of the rejection that was put into their voices.

I did mention the legend of the dark elves I heard from Renamaria in the report. He said it was a clan that was bound by the devil's blessing and the curse of the world.

But Dark Elves is a fairytale existence that doesn't even feel hated by his fellow countryman, Lunamaria. How can Cardinal Cyrara, a human being, reveal so much rejection?

I returned the words in confusion.

"The figure (but the shitakata) resembles the legendary dark elf, just to say. Besides, you can't be held guilty just because you're similar to the villain in the elf fairy tale."

It's only natural to be guilty of what happened last night. But if sin is to be added in the evil deeds of the past, which we do not even know if it is true or not, we must defend ourselves against this.

In response to my words like that, the Cardinal shook his head to the left and right with a heavy lift.

"It's not the bad business of the past, it's not the fairy tale of the elves. Dark Elves exist and still wield disaster against the world against God. It has nothing to do with that."

"... no?

Makes eyes blink at the other person's words. From what I'm saying now, it seems like I have something to do with Dark Elves other than Wisteria... but I don't know. Naturally, once you see a brown elf, you can't forget it.

I frowned and questioned the Cardinal.

"What does that mean?

"Demons who disobey God, disobey the reason of life, and turn away from eternity. It's not about the immortal king who fought in Titis."

The moment they say that, I think of Sharamon in the back of my brain.

Seeing my reaction, the Cardinal went on to say more or less.

"He's the chief of them, the dark elf. Night club number one, Lascalis. How many priests have finished in his hands so far? Repeat: Dark Elves are not legendary beings. For the Apostle of God of Law, we are enemies of Dai Tian."

That's how the Cardinal turns a sharp eye on me.

"It would also be the work of Lascalis to force Sharamon to raid under the Holy See. A dark elf appeared less than a month later under the decorations that discussed the charamon. It's not a coincidence at all."

It is difficult to defeat the dragon killer from the front. But if you're awake nearby, you can make as many gaps as you want. Bath, change, add, eat, sleep. Any moment of defencelessness can be missed.

If I were a woman, I would be able to use other hands. Cardinal Cyrala told me that with deep fear.

"I'm not going to say anything bad, I'm going to stop surrounding dark elves, etc."

"Thank you for your kind advice,"

When I carefully bowed my head, the Cardinal finally loosened his expression.

"So you're handing over the Dark Elf pattern."

"No, I'm not going to"

In response, the Cardinal's eyes hung visibly. Eyes that shoot out will be very intolerable to those who have ease in their hearts.

but the effect is ugly on me not having the ease. I kept my word as I took my opponent's gaze straight.

"In retrospect of the current story, Rascalis and his misconduct belong to the individual, not to the race. Together, you seem to suspect that Wisteria is under Lascalis's command, but that's just a guess. More importantly, even if the speculation below is true, it is not a reason for me to relax my decision. I reached out knowing I was possessed of something strange."

"... Dark Elves are not cursed by God. Evil spirits and possessed by them are the proof of that. As apostles of God of Law, we cannot accept such, nor are those who are ridiculous."

In the eyes of the Cardinal, emotions that have never existed begin to mix. My voice was also turning into something cold somewhere.

"Because of the words of the Holy See, I will answer for the matter of the other night. However, if it is only to cover the dark elves, no future cooperation will be possible. Ask them to leave the temple as well. I want you to know that."

Perhaps that was Cardinal Cyrara's ultimatum. Hand over Wisteria if you want the help of the Divine Law in the future, he says.

In contrast, I responded well again.

"I understand. Thank you for your hospitality to this day."

So he stood up and returned his heel and left the room.

There was no voice from the Cardinal on that back.

I just felt my gaze. All the way out of the room, I felt a sharp gaze on my back as I shot through it.
