Chapter 716

Episode 716: The Day of Prophecy (3)

“You drew too much attention.”

Guards and knights from other territories huddled together and surrounded the temple.

Seeing them watching the starting point of the light from afar, not daring to come closer, it is only now that you realize exactly what you have done in the middle of the night.

Ray glanced at the magic tool.

I touched it lightly for testing, so there was not much mana left.

In the next few minutes, the magic tools will lose their power and stop working.

Then this fuss will also end.

‘Let’s wait quietly.’

It’s terrible if you step out recklessly and get investigated.

When Ray is waiting anxiously inside the temple.

just as expected.

As Ray thought, the magic tool could no longer spit out mana and lost its power.

Uh-uh-

The noise gradually subsides and the light fades as well.

The lights that used to brighten up the vicinity of the royal capital were now reduced to about half.

“The light fades!”

“Huh! Looks like we’re too late huh!”

The priests and priests of the Satellite Bridge, who climbed the temple out of breath, burst into sighs.

The long-awaited prophecy was in vain.

I saw the halo and came right away, but I couldn’t believe I was this far away!

I’ve come a lot farther than it looks, but the light is still fading.

A priest said with his fists clenched.

“yet! It’s still! The light hasn’t gone out yet! Somewhere around here, the Prophet...!”

The priests’ eyes lit up at his words.

Yeah the light didn’t completely disappear.

I didn’t know if the child of prophecy was still here.

“Go ahead and find it!”

When the old priest spoke, everyone looked around, both priests and priests.

Not this person.

That person also seems to be far from the prophecy.

Who the hell is the person that the Goddess Gaia has foretold.

They searched desperately through the crowd before the light faded, but soon came to nothing.

“Heo-euk... heo-euk...”

“Did you not find any?”

“I see... What about you?”

“Neither do I.”

The two priests sighed.

How did you get an oracle, but you missed the prophecy!

The two couldn’t even lift their faces properly due to guilt.

Eventually, the cluster of lights that embroidered the sky completely disappeared.

The priests who trudged back without anything were able to see the priests huddled together and rejoicing.

Unbelievably, they came running after a month and asked.

“Did you find it?”

The priests nodded at their words.

Instead of answering, I stepped aside and there was a woman who seemed to be holy even at first glance.

Frayed clothes everywhere.

Even though her golden hair is a bit messy, she has a sense of calm.

Green eyes show kindness at first glance, so this person must be a person of prophecy!

The two priests were delighted.

“Fortunately, the! What a relief!”

“I am new to seeing the elder! Then go back to the temple right now!”

At those words, the old priest shook his head.

“I can’t do that.”

“yes?”

“What is that...”

“Look closely.”

I don’t know if the outskirts were intentionally made shabby or just poorly managed, but the sparsely growing moss and vines blend in strangely.

The central part of the temple has an open ceiling, allowing a view of the lush forest.

At night, the moonlight penetrates and exudes elegance. This must have been the intention and design of the architect of the temple.

“I never get tired of it no matter how many times I watch it.”

Admiration for nature came out.

I would like to designate it as a cultural property and preserve it.

After taking a look around the temple, Ray soon stopped walking.

By the way, why aren’t you coming?

I was thinking that if there was a chance to come, it would only be today.

Not knowing that the power of the Black Room was already inside the temple, Ray was lost in thought.

‘Do you have any other plans? Like a sabotage operation.’

It didn’t match the method of the black room so far, but it didn’t make sense either.

If you disrupt the deployment of troops in the royal capital and then start clearing the outskirts, the Kingdom of Gleiman cannot stop it.

The capital might be trampled on if they rushed their troops to a remote territory.

“Mmm.”

I don’t know how it is, but it seems good that they are still guarding this place.

In a little while, the priest woman who left the children in the castle will also return.

Organizing her thoughts, Ray headed to the temple yard.

There were seventy-three and ninety days sitting in the garden basking in the warm sunlight.

“Good morning.”

“Ah...yes.”

“Good morning....”

Ray said as he looked at the two of them being greeted awkwardly.

“The day is bright, so you can go back soon. You will be safe now.”

Is it because of the commotion last night?

There were a lot of knights and soldiers around, so there would be no accident on the way back.

At Ray’s words, the two hesitated for a moment.

For Heukbang, the failure of the mission will soon result in death.

If he went back without any results, there was a possibility that he would be reprimanded and die.

It made them hesitate.

As Ray got into the car, the two quietly exchanged hand signals.

‘I can’t go back like this.’

‘I’d rather wait a bit longer.’

The two agreed and nodded their heads.

“You haven’t prayed yet.”

“I want to wait until the priest returns...”

At that, Ray shook his head.

It’s dangerous to have them with you in a situation where you don’t know when the black room will come.

It is better for the two of them to leave the temple in case something unexpected happens.

“No. You know the news that the Demonic Church is being attacked indiscriminately, right? Now this temple might be in danger too.”

Heukbang is different from the common gossips.

Maybe there will come a situation where even you will find it difficult.

Whether they knew that feeling or not, the two strongly denied it.

“You know. That’s why I want to stay even more. We couldn’t pray at all because there were only a few branches of the Demonic Church left. If we lose this place, where will we go?”

“Please don’t throw us out.”

He said with the desire that the two of them want to live.

If you go back like this, it’s dog death.

He would die in all sorts of humiliation in front of others, bearing the stigma of not fulfilling his mission.

The two of them didn’t want that to happen, and their eyes were filled with desperation.

Like the eyes of a deer being chased by a hunter.

Ray’s heart weakened when he saw those weak, yet watery eyes.

‘Ah, that really doesn’t work.’

He sighed, and finally let out a sigh.

“all right. Instead, don’t go around at night and stay inside the temple?”

“I will!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Seventy-three and ninety-one also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
