Idols Around the World 966

Chapter 966 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (24)

The soldiers who had been sent to chase down the priests and nobles and catch them all came back having done their job.

“I’m sorry. I tried to catch them all, but some of them escaped with the wizard.”
“How could you have caught the wizard escaping? That’s enough. Interrogate them all and find out what happened.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The numbers they wrote were vicious.
If all the captured soldiers exploded, it would have been a matter of killing them all or isolating them without leaving any prisoners.
However, the Geos Empire bastard deliberately made it explode randomly among his soldiers.
That’s why I didn’t make it clear who would explode and who wouldn’t explode.

‘Thanks to that, both the prisoners and the guards were terrified and didn’t know what to do.’

In addition, the guards’ attitude toward the time bomb, which was about to explode, became increasingly harsh.
I have to keep a being close to me who may kill me at any moment, but isn’t it hard to hear good sounds?
In addition, an epidemic that suddenly began to spread had hit the barracks.
In this situation, order was not properly maintained.
It was a great victory, but it came to a situation where I was not sure whether this was a victory or not.
The way to solve this situation was to kill the guys who made this.

“By the way… Do you intend to torture even the priest?”
“This time, the priests would have taken the initiative.”

The priests are still troublesome beings.
It’s a burden to touch, but isn’t it sloppy and vicious to leave it alone?

“They’ll have to meet Jim.”

I decided to check how these guys would come out and make a decision on how to treat them in the future.

“Move right away without delay.”

I immediately moved to meet the priests.
Priests were treated differently despite being held captive.
It is true that it is isolated, but it was a space equipped with a sleeping bag to stretch out and various amenities to sleep warmly.

‘They are not even newcomers, but they are treated like this…’

This wouldn’t have happened in a day or two.
So there is no choice but to have a chosen people ideology among them, and even though they betrayed by collaborating with the Geos Empire by acting shrewdly, they must have done something shameless to try to contact us again behind the scenes.
We betrayed, so what? So what can you do Would you say it gives off a feeling?
Even if I go, I thought that I would like to press down on these guys’ noses and go.

‘What if I found out that the god you worship sent me here?’

If the being in charge of this world is what they call the ‘god’, then it’s not a lie that my servants idolized me.
Aren’t my bloodlines destined to be the button that brings the world in crisis back to normal?

“Let everyone out.”
“Your Majesty, you are dangerous.”
“You really think you can’t beat that skinny priest?”
“…If it’s dangerous, make a sound right away.”

The escort knights left their seats as if they had no choice but to keep hesitating as if they didn’t like leaving.

“What is the prince doing? You should go out too.”
“Yes? Me too?”
“Yes, boy. Get out of here.”

The prince licked his lips, hesitated, checked my expression, and went out sullen.
If the expression seemed to have even the slightest possibility, I think I was trying to use a group, but looking at my expression, it seems like I wouldn’t even go through the needle.
Actually, I had no intention of telling other people what I was talking about.
The priest was ignoring whether or not I came in with his eyes closed.
It seemed that he had no fear of being held prisoner, as he straightened his back.

‘Because no country would ever want to lose a shrine and chuck.’

When only the two of us were left in this space completely like that.
I brought a chair and sat across from the priest.

“…”
“…”

Even though we both knew each other’s existence, we didn’t open our mouths.
The priest seemed to be trying to fight me, but I was thinking about how to deal with him.

He said, “I thought we should have a look and a little talk.”
“I have nothing to say.”
“Oh, that’s a pity. If you want to live, you must have something to say.”
“…Did you dare discuss death in front of me?”

The face of the priest who pretended to be calm starts to blush.

“Aren’t you people who serve God, aren’t you God? You’re a prisoner of war who was captured while helping the enemy, so can’t you do as I please with your life?”
“Are you confident enough to handle the aftermath? Your choice will cause tens of thousands of people to suffer. The temple that has seen blood will never set foot on the land of the empire!”

The reason why priests can come out like this is because of their own abilities.
That it can cure human disease.
And that they have the justification of worshiping God.
Because of the existence of the temple, in a world where medicine was not developed, the power they had had no choice but to be strong.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think they have the ability to bring back the dead. Doesn’t that mean they think they’re gods rather than worshiping gods?”
“Disrespectful!! How dare you!!!”
“By the way. Isn’t that blasphemous? The god I serve puts the stigma of being a demonic contractor on the messenger sent for this land.”
“Ha! I heard rumors that you were the incarnation of a god over there. Speaking of demon contractors. Aren’t you afraid of divine punishment!!!”

A seat makes a person.
It seems that I have become accustomed to living here as an emperor and thinking that it is natural for people to bow their heads in front of me.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have thought that the priest’s barak-barak attitude was very fresh.

“I’m not afraid of divine punishment, so what can I do?”
“Yes, yes you bastard!!! You will definitely regret today!”
“It’s just that my voice is so loud, and even if it’s a divine punishment, nothing really happens. Try it once? But do you really think I’ve done something wrong enough to receive a divine punishment? What the hell did I do wrong?”
“The power you use!!! That power is clear proof!”
“The power I use is the wrong power? So I have to be punished?”
“Yes! You may like to wield power by making a contract with the devil now, but you will never be happy with the end! All the past devil contracts ended tragically! Don’t you think a devil is a devil for nothing!”

The soul begins to corrupt from the moment it gets close to the devil, and the priest spit out with a feeling of vomiting blood that the corrupted soul can never enjoy peace.
I tilted my head and said to the priest.

“Do you think Jim really made a pact with the devil?”
“How can you explain that power!”
“Actually, I signed a contract before I came to this world.”

It was a contract to create and embrace 3,000 concubines in this world.
And, to the pity of this priest, the contract was not made with the devil.

“Are you admitting it now, Emperor!!! What you deceived the world will surely become known!”
“But unfortunately, the being Jim has contracted with isn’t the devil.”
“It’s not the devil anymore? Are you playing with me right now!!”
“No no, it’s so true. This is a pretty big secret, but I’ll tell you specifically.”

What would your face look like if I told you that I signed a contract and became emperor?

“I’m not originally from this world. I signed a contract and came here. Of course, I’m not the son of the deceased emperor.”
“!!”
“The being who made a contract with me asked me to become the emperor’s son. And he made 3,000 concubines and asked me to impregnate them. So in a word, I came to fulfill the request in exchange for a price.”
“Three thousand…? That’s why you took so many concubines? Why the hell?”
“Aren’t you curious? Who the hell sent me, and why did they tell me to spread my seed here?”
“…Will not listen to the devil.”

The priest’s pupils were already shaking.

“It’s a pity that people don’t believe me even if I tell them the truth. Why do you believe in God? To use it as a means to enjoy wealth and glory?”
“I’m afraid you’re not a demon contractor, so you’re teasing your gray tongue. I won’t be shaken by that!”
“If the being that sent me here is the god you worship so faithfully.”
“It can’t be!”
“Is it your will to deny it? I heard that a priest’s job is to uphold God’s will, convey His words to the world, and benefit the world… Gee~ It’s a pity. I’ll pass it on to you later when I get a chance. The servants he serves work really hard.”

The priest insisted that what I said was a lie, but inside he was engulfed in fear that he might not know.
Still, it was a god worshiped by Ji, and he seemed worried that I was really a messenger sent by God, but that I was driving him into a demonic contractor.

“I’m curious about one thing. What happens when people find out about the person sent by the gods as a demon contractor in the temple?”
“!!!!!!”
“Is a temple that misrepresented the will of God to people really worth its existence?”
“That’s a lie.”
“Then can you prove that I am a demon contractor?”
“Can do!”

Demon contractors are vulnerable to divine power.

“You’re a messenger sent by God? If so, there’s no way we wouldn’t know. There’s no way God wouldn’t tell us! We’ve done our best to convey God’s voice to people all our lives!!”

So there’s no way you’d do anything ridiculous to turn a messenger sent by God into a demonic contractor.
The old, ugly old man shouted with all his stubbornness.
The truth that the old man does not know, or does not want to know, is that the ‘God’ who managed this world sold this place to another place a long time ago.
In a word, this is a world where God has lost his hand.
Perhaps he is playing the role of a god by purchasing another world with the price of selling this world.
And some existence that took over this world at a cheap price, or a company where Pony works, would have given me a coin and put in a request to save this place.
I’ve done it once, so I’m sure you’re expecting it to work well in other worlds as well.
He had no intention of confiding to the priest in detail about the world beyond.
It was just that I needed to be trampled on properly so that this yamche would not become the existence that would haunt my son forever after I disappeared.

“Then let’s try it once, but? I heard there’s a way to check? Surely you’re not going to say that if you burn and die, you’re a human, and if you live, you’re a demon contractor? If it’s not that way, I’ll cooperate. Look.”
“…”
“Why can’t you do anything? If you use divine power, you’ll know right away. If you hurt me now, you’ll become a hero who defeated the demon contractor. If it’s honor, isn’t it a priest not to be able to use death and death? Do you want to try it?”

And the old, ugly priest shook his hand with a pale face.
Anyone with a little brain can’t understand what it means for me to be so proud of myself.
