A Saint Who Wants to Fall 224

Chapter 224 – To the Corrupted Temple (1)

Episode 224: To the Corrupt Temple (1)

As I came out onto the side road, I saw a village.

The northern region where all seasons are winter.

It was a village that one had to pass through to get to the northern temple, located on an ice island far from the mainland.

‘It was a hidden map, so it had no name.’

There were no words on the sign at the entrance to the village.

The guards standing in the village welcomed the new people, and the faces of the village residents were also filled with smiles.

“Even though it’s been a while since I’ve been here, it’s still a beautiful place.”

“It’s a town where you’ll be amazed if you go there with the priests. The village residents are friendly, and the high priest is also nice.”

“If I remember correctly, Retina, didn’t you go into that bar and get caught up in a gang fight? “I remember being grabbed by the collar by a weakling and immediately falling down awkwardly.”

[… Are you talking about a time ago? I don’t even remember.]

Thanks to that, Ikarut’s group naturally relaxed as well.

We talked and even argued while remembering our memories of coming to the village. But only Ikarut quietly raises his eyes.

‘Actually, it’s a bit of an unpleasant place.’

It was a village that reminded me of Christmas in my past life, with snow-covered roofs decorated with colorful lights.

Although it is a place with a warm and friendly atmosphere, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

[Hitch!!]

“Wow, even the Holy Sword is shivering from the cold.”

[I didn’t even know it would be this cold – Euch!!]

The cold winter wind pierced the thin skin layer.

Resilia wrapped the convulsing and trembling holy sword in a thick cloak. Still, her holy sword was cold, and she was shivering in her arms.

[There are a lot of people today. Were there originally many people in this village?]

“No, there was probably a ceremony at the temple and people gathered there.”

“Is a new saint coming too?”

“That… Probably not.”

The period is different for each temple

A ritual is performed to receive the blessings of Goddess Gaia.

A town more crowded than any other day.

They were temple guests waiting in the village for the ceremony at the northern temple.

“If a ritual is to be performed, shouldn’t a saint be present?”

“It’s okay if we don’t have to be together. Even if you speak to me after performing the ritual, blessings will come through me.”

Even if there is a saint, she is still there. Even if there is no saint, is she still there?

Delphine clicked her tongue at her superficial procedure of performing her ritual as she pleased and informing her saint.

[Looking at them, they are all nobles.]

The people who passed by the group a little while ago were wearing clothes made of expensive fabrics that were difficult for commoners to access.

He stiffly raises his neck and sighs, receiving excessive hospitality from the villagers.

[Was this town originally like this?]

“The atmosphere naturally changes over time. “It’s the same for people and villages.”

[Even though it has changed, it has changed so much.]

The holy sword reminded him of his old memories.
An unnamed village in the northern region. This is a cold area with nothing but snow, and the gap between the rich and the poor is wide.

The village, which was relatively free and not bound by the imperial authority, had a lot of affection.

It was a place that provided lodging to lost travelers and gave money and clothes to beggars.

He was even kind to people of other races.

When Seonggeomdo was a warrior, he came to this village and was favored and treated very well. It’s a place where only good memories remain, but something was different now.

[There are no beggars, foreign races, or travelers.]

Suddenly, only nobles were in this village.

They were all decked out in expensive clothes and accessories, and their smiles were fake.

“Come on, nobles! Shouldn’t we have at least one slave to go to the upcoming ceremony at the temple? Here is a freshly caught beastman girl! “Sold at an unprecedented price of only 10 gold!”

He was one of the slave traders I saw on the side road.

The slave trader was loudly soliciting customers as they passed by.

Then, several nobles stopped walking as if they were interested, and the beastman girl lowered her head in shame.

Resilia, who witnessed her appearance, stopped on her toes.
Her pupils fluttered for a moment as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

“Look, do you really need a beastman girl to go to the temple?”

Then Delphine raised her hand and asked a question to the slave trader.
He was shocked by the sudden appearance of the great sage, but soon raised the corners of his mouth.

“The ceremony is a festival! There are plenty of things to enjoy at festivals, but shouldn’t there also be eye candy? Even the nobles will like it.”

The beastman girl bit her pale lips so hard that they bled.
Delphine, who was stroking her chin, rolls her eyes and twitches the tip of her chin.

“It’s completely corrupt.”

She deliberately whispered in a low voice.

In response, Resilia quietly took a breath and her holy sword rose to its peak, fluttering with her holy power.

Ikarut, who witnessed this entire situation, raised his eyebrows.

‘I remember that beastman was an NPC in the Hidden Village quest.’

What was its name?

Even though I don’t remember much, I know it was a fairly important quest.

The scenario was twisted, and the village changed, but the quest did not change.

“Now! It’s only 10 gold! “This is a very unconventional price for noblemen!”

“Show me your face. “Let’s take a look at his face.”

“Hehe, that’s good. Hey, raise your head.”

Puck!

The slave trader hit the back of the head of the beastman girl.

Blood flowed from the corners of his closed mouth, but he lifted his hair as if he was handling something.

Squinting, the girl forced herself to show her face.
Everyone could not help but be amazed by the watery gold inside.

Among the noisy nobles, Ikarut noticed the girl’s identity.

‘Neromoko beastman girl.’

The population of the Neromoko beast people is very small.

They are of the same race as Nancy, who is active as a master thief in the Demon King’s Expedition,

If you complete the hidden quest she gave you, she will randomly tell you the location of her holy sword.

‘The character setting said that he had holy power.’

The girl was born with unusual holy power among the Neromoko beast people.

So, instead of having odd eyes with both gold and blue eyes like Nancy, both of her eyes were gold.

Now that she has found the holy sword, she must meet Goddess Gaia.
Basically, those with spiritual power are priests and receive guidance from the goddess.

Resilia, who was warned by the current goddess, had her memories erased by the people of the human world.

‘If there is no goddess in her temple, she must find someone with divine powers.’

Ikarut walked steadily and stood in front of the slave trader.

The slave trader, who was shorter than the average man, was startled as his huge body appeared like a shadow before his eyes.

Her jet-black hair blowing in the winter wind looked wild, but her sturdy frame showed strength, and the aristocratic appearance of her clothes was evident in the buttons of her clothes, which were stoically buttoned all the way to her neck.

“100 gold.”

“Blanket. Yes?”

“I will buy it for 100 gold.”

With a clang, metal currency falls into his hands.

The slave trader, whose eyes were wide, picked up the falling metal coins, and the nobles also seemed embarrassed and avoided the coins that fell on the ground.

“Follow me.”

The beastman girl rolled her eyes and followed after him.

***

“What is your name?”

“… “Mia.”

“You are of the Neromoko tribe, after all. “I said I had seen it a lot somewhere, and it looked just like Nancy.”

“What are you going to do with me?”

“If you are here, Nancy will be here too. I heard that those who have Neromoko blood communicate with each other through their hearts and are secretly together.”

“Answer my question.”

Sparks flew in the exchange of glances between Delphine and Mia.

A shabby inn where no one stays.

In the midst of their quiet conversation, the only noises were the rattling of forks and quiet eating.

“Didn’t you notice it too?”

“I was a little surprised. “It was my first time seeing a different race with holy powers.”

Resilia put down the fork she was holding for her vegetables.
Her pupil narrows to a vertical angle, and her golden eyes turn round when she sees her.

“Saint… ?”

“Well, it seems like a long story, but it’s okay.”

“But there is no way there are two saints-“

“Shall we eat and talk again?”

Resilia put her vegetables back to her mouth.
In her deliberate silence, Mia purses her lips and then stares at her empty bowl. And she drinks tea, and she moves her eyes to Ikarut.

“Are you a warrior?”

“Well.”

“You were chosen by the Holy Sword. Then, aren’t you the hero who will save the destroyed world?”

“I’ll just stand up now. “I have something to investigate.”

Delphine woke up with the sound of a chair being pulled and narrowed her eyes.
She put her hat on so tightly that it cast a shadow over her face and went outside.

‘I guess he went looking for traces of Nancy.’

The fact that the Neromoko tribe is here means that Nancy is also there.

Even when playing the game, if you have Nancy as your companion, she will appear out of nowhere and help her progress through the scenario.
There is a setting that the souls of Neromoko are connected to each other, so Nancy was an essential playable character for beginner users.

“I will take you to the temple. Rest in the meantime.”

The teacup I put down was completely empty.

Mia doesn’t say anything and just watches him leave.

Walking step by step to her room. A black shadow rose upward.

And as he enters the room, the shadow that follows him lands on his ear and opens his mouth.

[Ikarut, this is Mamon.]

“Report the situation.”

[… Archangel Michaela keeps coming, looking for Ikarut.]

“Is it important?”

[No. I think he’s just visiting because he’s bored, so I send him back, but strangely enough, he’s looking for Ikarut.]

“I guess there isn’t much to do in heaven.”

[It seems so…]

A sigh came out of Mammon’s voice.

Since the Demon King is no longer in the Demon World, the work for his aides to handle has become vast. Even though he was so busy, he even dealt with the Archangel who was looking for Ikarut. Ikarut felt the effort of Mamon and was silent.

[And there are more unclear gates. Seeing that there is nothing beyond, and it is being sucked in mercilessly, it seems like chaos.]

“Make sure to protect the gate that connects the human world.”

[Name.]

The shadow that landed on my ear quickly dispersed.

The chaos that appeared in the human world also appeared in the demon world. The world was anxious.

Ikarut felt tired and touched his forehead.

Squeak.

Ikarut was lost in thought without hearing the sound of the door opening.

A few seconds later, he feels the power and lifts his heavy eyelids.

“Master.”

Resilia wrapped her arms around Icarut’s shoulders from behind.
As I sat in her chair, I felt pity for her back, which was bent forward.
Her platinum hair falls over her shoulders and her face presses against his firm cheek.

It felt uncomfortable, but at the same time, the warm holy power made Danjeon seething.

Before we knew it, their gazes met, and their lips touched.

Chuuup, the sound flowed out quietly.

The hot tongues exchanged with each other, and moans escaped little by little.

The heated air passes over the skin, exciting the body.

“Ah… ♡Master.”

Ikarut’s hand squeezed one of her breasts, and Resilia, who was already excited, tried to accept his bold touch.

The tips of her fingers traced the triangle zone, and with a moan, she opened the zipper of her pants.

“You arrogant. “You serve without my permission.”

“Haa♡ Master, please forgive my insolent slave… ♡”

Resilia moistened her tongue as her half-erect object popped out.
And she proudly put it in her mouth and sucked it.

“Look! I just found out where Nancy is! She’s in the North Temple! Let’s get ready to go quickly “

Delphine opened the door without notice and only then did she discover the two clinging to each other.

Mia glances at her from behind, which has become ice for a moment.

“… Sausage?”

Bang!

Delphine quickly closed the door at the innocent words of Mia, who knew nothing.
