Episode 398 The Second Temple (4)

Seongguk received two letters.

They are all personal letters of the king who is in charge of a kingdom.

The content was simple.

– A crisis has come to the kingdom. The kingdom seen by him is shameless, but Bio asks for a saint. Please do not refuse. Grace will never be forgotten.

It was a heavy burden.

How can a saint say that he gives or receives in two kingdoms?

There was something else that was even more difficult.

Celia Kingdom was afraid of being invaded and wanted a saint, and Baybon Kingdom was asking for a saint to regain its lost borders.

It is said that Celia’s correspondence was faster than Baybon’s, but if you look only at the urgency of the situation, the Baybon Kingdom is also not inferior to Celia.

So, the Holy Nation had to choose.

Which of the two kingdoms will you share with in the future?

Without considering their embarrassing position, the two kingdoms only urged.

The nobles who heard the news in Daejeon shook their heads.

“Umm... It’s a pitiful situation... but isn’t the Holy Son not in the Holy Land right now?”

“Even if the Holy Son exists, it is a problem. A kingdom has fallen out of favor completely. You have to think carefully.”

At the words of the High Priests, Eclay affirmed with difficulty.

It was not a matter to be decided lightly.

In the case of Celia, the kingdom itself may be destroyed if it is defeated because it is invaded.

If Baybon doesn’t regain its borders from the monsters, its territory will be smaller than it is now.

Celia was also the hometown of the Saint, and Baybon readily gave up its troops when the Necromancer advanced to the Holy Land.

It was difficult to pinpoint and help anyone.

While they were struggling, a soldier hurriedly entered the battlefield.

“His Holiness the Pope!”

When even the soldiers were flustered in a situation where they already had a headache, I felt uneasy in my heart.

‘Maybe something else happened.’ The nobles, who were thinking, asked the soldier.

“What’s the matter, are you making a fuss like this? Calm down and tell me.”

The soldier, who had been holding his breath for a while, knelt down and opened his mouth.

“Unidentified wizards have come.”

“Wizard?”

“yes. They say that they will be of help on behalf of the Holy Son.”

To replace the saint?

It’s a bit ridiculous.

The nobles laughed.

“Heh heh heh.”

“To think that only a few wizards would take the place of the saint. So, how many wizards have visited the Holy Kingdom?”

The soldier hesitated at the question and said,

“Take as few as you can, and there will be three hundred.”

“Four to three hundred!”

High priests and nobles forgot their body language and screamed.

Even if only one hundred wizards from the 3rd circle were gathered, it was a number that could be put in full force right away.

But three hundred wizards!

It was a large army that would not be enough even if it was used for a long time, let alone the current power.

Why did such people suddenly come to the Holy Land!

Eclay showed great interest.

“It is a sudden good news. It’s good to be genuinely happy about the good news, but before that, let’s ask why.”

“Ira.”

“Where the hell are you? What is this temple again?”

Rey looked at Aira as she held the hammer.

she was fine

Only she remained here.

When he didn’t answer, Aira felt strange and asked again.

“I must have been asleep for quite some time. Where are the other high elves?” He

shook

his head slowly—

He didn’t even know.

You know the high elves went to the Gate, but they stayed here to complete the altar to protect Aira in order to build a temple.

Perhaps they had already died from being attacked by demons.

Aira, who was watching his reaction, realized the seriousness of the situation.

She approached after a month and hugged Ray with her small body and said cautiously.

“Let’s talk. What the hell happened?”

Ray, who was staring at the same blue eyes as himself, opened his mouth.

said.

things that happened in the past.

what you’ve been through.

The high elves disappeared one by one.

And what he did when he was left alone.

Without answering anything, Aira listened to his story in silence with a serious face.

Without showing any emotion, he just looked into his eyes and listened.

“...”

When the story is over, I close my eyes.

“I see.”

It was a word.

The taciturn attitude of listening to that one word was a great comfort.

After a while, Aira’s eyes opened and stopped at the furnace.

Warmth lingered in the hearth, which should not have been lit.

Turning her head, this time she looked at the huge cabin built on top of a tree.

In the cabin, where no one was supposed to stay, there was a sense of humanity.

Kind hands flowed from the empty altar, and solemnity flowed from the temple built with raw wood.

It was a completely different look, but a completely different feeling.

They gave off a strong human scent.

Did you accomplish all of this alone?

when everyone is gone

when you are asleep

Did he arrange a second one alone for everyone?

Are you willing to put up with hardships to build this?

Ira kept her mouth shut.

I dared not open my mouth.

being ignored and being persecuted.

Losing their own and taking away even what they gained.

The road I walked was so sublime that I couldn’t bear to look at it.

I did not dare to sympathize or offer comfort.

He was definitely a saint arranged by the Goddess.
