Chapter 679

Episode 679: Inside (1)

Thinking that the door to the audience room would open no matter how long they waited, Philia and Klein had a worried conversation.

“The story is delayed.”

“Something didn’t happen, right?”

At Philia’s words, Klein shook his head.

“I do not know. But as long as you are with him, nothing unsavory will happen.”

He is a saint who is said to have the power equivalent to that of a nation alone.

With him clinging to his side, I wonder if anything will happen.

At Klein’s words, Philia seemed a little relieved.

how long has it been

As they stopped talking and waited quietly, the door to the audience room slowly opened.

“Saint.”

“Did you have a good chat?”

Looking at the two who tried to calmly ask, Ray smiled.

“Don’t worry so much. Because I’m fine.”

“....”

“....”

Did I really think that they would be worried about me?

Wrong.

He was worried about the king, who was left alone with a monster that could not be used in a closed room.

Klein cleared his throat and said.

“Hmm. That’s good. I was worried that something might have happened.”

the king, not you.

At his words, Ray shrugged.

“Will something special happen? Rather than that, I heard that the Demonic Church called me?”

“Ugh. yes. It’s a bit late to tell you. I thought it might be a sensitive issue, so I was reluctant to say anything...”

“It’s okay. They told me to remove the horns as well, so I’ll visit them tomorrow.”

“My tomorrow?”

Klein said, embarrassed.

At that, Philia also drooled.

“It’s not something you can easily think about, Holy Father. Meeting them may intensify the conflict with the Holy Kingdom.”

“That’s right. The Demonic Church wants to see the Holy Son, but overall it is a bad story.”

Conflict with the Holy Land.

In addition to that, since you can’t predict how you will emerge from the Demonic Church, that must be uneasy.

‘Mmm. I don’t think they’ll allow it at this rate.’

There must be a way to secretly visit them, but if that happens, you won’t be able to get help from them in case of an emergency.

Ray was contemplating how to convince them, but soon he pulled out a hand that they could never refuse.

“...This is a secret.”

As he cautiously put his mouth together as if he were going to bring out something really difficult to say, Philia and Klein naturally approached him.

Raising the atmosphere to the fullest, Ray frowned and pretended to be worried, but then shook his head.

“no. It’s not that I don’t believe you two, but I can’t tell you.”

The whole body is tensed up as if to speak, but then the pulse is cut off.

It was a simple, yet effective way of speaking.

The two of them were fondled.

“It’s a little hard to say with my own mouth, but I’m a knight I’ve never heard of lightly once after taking up the position of captain of the Knights of the Klein Kingdom.”

He said, emphasizing the ‘article’.

Philia took one more drink.

“The Magic Corps Commander is the closest thing to a secret in the kingdom. What do you want to say?”

When the reaction of the two was better than expected, Ray grinned inwardly.

Just buying one slave right away will cost you a gold coin.

If you are a slave who uses less strength or a slave who is also white, the price goes up even by ten gold coins.

However, it was said that they were buying it randomly, not just one or two people, so their capital power was trembling.

Also, what about mercy?

It’s not like farming, but I wonder where all that grain comes from.

“Are there any alternatives?”

“It’s not a sharp number, but for us, it’s all about sending people. We have sent priests to the places where our branches are located.”

It’s a subtle response.

The response was good because they could receive treatment for free, but compared to the Demonic Church, it was still insignificant.

Eclay, who was thinking about alternatives, said.

“How about offering a potion?”

The pope’s words made the priests look a little perplexed.

“His Holiness, those words...”

“If we do something wrong, it could make it difficult for our country to raise funds.”

The most important source of funds for a castle country is the supply of high-quality manpower and potions.

Right now, priests have been placed all over the place, but if the potions are released for free, things might get bigger.

Eclay said rather calmly.

“But at this rate, isn’t it like giving up space to the Demonic Cult? We must not acknowledge their existence. Gaia wants them out.”

tough means.

The effect seems to be great, but that risk comes back to the castle.

The high priest and the priests under him let out a drool.

“If we provide potions, holy water to be used in our home country may run out. That part...”

“I’m sorry about that part, but I just want the priests and priests to work hard.”

Only some priests or priests could make holy water.

Holy water was made only when those who had deep faith and had that much divine power prayed to God.

In other words, Pope Eclay is going to overwork them a little more than now.

While saying that everything is for the sake of Goddess Gaia.

Even those who could lay down their lives like stubble for the sake of their faith were greatly troubled over the recent incident that could directly harm the Holy Kingdom.

Humble buzz –

The hall became a little noisy.

In the process of sharing opinions, there were those who became radical and those who, conversely, became cold.

Opinions were divided, but mostly divided into two opinions.

The one who wants to save the position of the Holy Kingdom by providing some potions, and the one who wants to condense the power by watching the situation more.

Most of the high nobles gave their strength to the latter, and priests full of faith raised their hands to the former.

As a result, Eclay handed over the decision-making power to the high priests who were still undecided.

“What should the high priests do?”

Despite her question, the high priests seemed unable to make hasty decisions.

The old man with a thick white beard spoke cautiously.

“I think it is still time to make a decision. Even if the Demonic Church’s position has grown a little, the Holy Kingdom will not be shaken. Wouldn’t it be better for the Seongguk to remain as the Seongguk at times like this?”

In other words, it is an advice to not be shaken by the smallest things.

Even Eclay himself, who was the first to suggest an alternative to the clear words of the high priest, nodded and agreed.

Certainly, how can it be called a great country when it is shaken by such things?

Although the appearance of the Demonic Church was annoying, I thought that it might be better to wait and see the situation as the high priest said.

Eclay accepted his opinion.

“Then let’s observe the situation a little longer. Sirs, think about today’s discussion and tell me your views later.”

“I will.”

“All right.”

Thanks to the high priest’s candid speech, the meeting was able to end safely.

However, they also overlooked one fact.

When they decided to wait and see the situation after much thought, there was a person who tried to touch the beehive of the Demonic Church.
