A Saint Who Wants to Fall 225

Chapter 225 – To the Corrupted Temple (2)

Episode 225: To the Corrupt Temple (2)

“Nancy is in the northern temple.”

“I will dismiss it.”

“You haven’t said anything yet?”

Delphine puts her hands on her waist and taps her toes.
She just stopped by the village on her way to the temple.
She has no reason to bring back enemies who escaped to the Demon King’s Castle.

Delphine furrows her brows a little, wondering what makes her angry.

“I don’t know why you went there, but I’ve lost contact with Nancy since I joined you.”

“What does that have to do with me?”

[If the communication network is cut off, it means that something big has happened or that they are going to split up with us.]

Delphine sighed at the harsh voice of her holy sword.
The Demon Lord’s Expedition had communication magic engraved in their ears to avoid betraying each other.

Nancy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

It takes a lot of time to get to the northern temple from Ceylond Village.

“Nancy will not be able to come to the Northern Temple in a short period of time. It seems like someone must have intervened… “She doesn’t know if it’s good or bad for us.”

“What do you think the Great Sage thinks?”

“Unfortunately, my instinct is to get hit.”

Delphine was anxious. It seems to me intentionally that Nancy’s location is in her northern temple.

She feels like he is using her to lure her in.

“A saint could have come here.”

“That’s not it.”

Mia, who had been listening quietly, shook her head.
And she lowered her gaze a little, perhaps embarrassed by the sudden rush of attention.

“Well, when the saint comes, slaves can’t enter. “The ceremony of entering with slaves is only possible when hosted by a high priest.”

[How do you know that?]

“Well, I’ve always been sold to nobles and taken back. I went to the temple with the nobles who bought me and watched the ceremony. There was no saint at that time.”

“Can you tell me how she performed the ritual?”

“It’s okay to say it was a ceremony, it was just a festival. We prayed, but mostly both men and women drank and had fun naked. “I was looking at him with something in my mouth that looked like the nobleman’s sausage that had bought me.”

Mia spoke without blinking, and her Lesilia’s complexion turned pale.
Soon, her legs became weak, and she faltered, so Delphine silently held her forearm.

“Sorry. For showing such disgusting behavior to you…”

“? Don’t I have to go there anyway? “So you didn’t buy me?”

“I’m really sorry.”

Mia, who knew nothing, tilted her head.
Seeing that, Resilia placed both her hands on her chest.
Her heart ached as she felt guilty for sacrificing herself to her fallen temple.

[Nancy said she was at the temple, so let’s go first. I think that way she can find out what happened to Nancy.

“Didn’t you guys get an invitation?”

“”Invitation?””

Eyes coming back to Mia.

The girl, reading her questioning gaze, tilts her head once more.

“If you want to go to the temple, you need an invitation. Before the ceremony, the high priest directly gives invitations to the nobles. “Only invited nobles can go.”

“Ha, so that means you can’t go without an invitation.”

[The northern temple has also changed a lot in many ways.]

The Holy Sword spoke in a self-mocking tone.

Resilia did not refute but simply maintained her silence.
The lowered blue eyes are just immersed in her thoughts.

“Hero, are you going to the temple?”

The Holy Sword was so shocked that he let out a laugh.

Mia called Ikarut a warrior.

And the eyes looking at him were shining.

“I have to go.”

Ikarut, whether aware of this or not, glances at the girl he admires with an indifferent gaze.

“When does the ritual begin?”

“Tomorrow. A fat man said he would perform a ritual starting at 8 a.M. Tomorrow morning.”

“It came to the right place.”

Ikarut sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and resting his chin.
Then, open your palm and take out all the shadows hiding under the light.

Self ㅡ

The black shadows turned into darkness and crawled out of the window.

Mia’s eyes widened as she realized that the shadow beneath her feet had disappeared.

“Finish your preparations today to go to the temple tomorrow.”

When the high-handed command was given, they obeyed in an instant.

***

6 am. Before dawn, when the darkest shadow falls

The boat, with bright yellow lights on, was heading towards the upcoming festival of pleasure.

The ark, which boasts a large size, cuts through the calm waves and heads toward the ice island.

Invited nobles wear masks to protect their identities before performing the ceremony.

“My heart is more excited about this ceremony after a long time.”

“Lord Andel, so am I. But do you know who this is? Even with the mask on, I have no idea who it is.”

Even if you wear a mask to protect your identity, everyone knows, but today there was someone who didn’t know.

The masked nobles glance at Ikarut wearing the black mask.

Even in the harsh wind that cut through his skin, his posture did not falter one bit.
Every time the hem of the coat flutters, some noble ladies show interest in covering their mouths with fans.

“I’ve been looking through it, and it seems like slave content has gotten a lot better these days.”

“So that’s it. “I’m looking forward to it because it will be a joy to the eyes during the ceremony.”

Unlike nobles who concealed their status with masks, slaves did not wear masks.  It was decorated splendidly as if to show off its outstanding beauty.

In particular, the nobles were fascinated by the looks of Delphine, Resilia, and Mia disguised as slaves.

This is because during ceremonies, nobles who became close friends sometimes exchanged slaves for enjoyment.

He felt like he would fall off if he stayed close to him, but he couldn’t because of the unusual atmosphere.

“We have arrived. Please take off your mask after checking your identification card.”

When we arrived at the ice castle, a priest came out to meet us.

The nobles took their turns and showed their status cards as if they were used to it.

The priest, along with the thin-eyed man, greeted each person politely one by one. Among them, there were some friendly nobles, and a brief exchange of well-wishes was exchanged.

Near the end, it was Ikarut’s turn to show his identity card.

After checking the identity card, the priest looks at Ikarut and slowly blinks.
Then he looked at it a couple of times, then his eyes widened, and he was happy.

“Kane Piace… ? Ah, Lord Kane! It’s been a while. It’s nice to see each other again after so many years.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Haha! Does it feel a little awkward because it’s been a while since you’ve seen each other? “I heard you’ve been having trouble trading above recently, but I’m glad it seems to be improving now.”

The nobleman who released the shadow last night and whose identity card was stolen was acquainted with the priest. Thanks to Delphine’s illusion magic, the priest saw Ikarut as Kane Piache.

The narrow-eyed man twitched his eyebrows, but stayed quiet and did not interrupt their conversation.

“Welcome to the embrace of Goddess Gaia. Please come in.”

“Thank you. Priest.”

Even as Ikarut entered with a noble bow, the gaze that followed his back did not go away.

Delphine, who was following him, looked sideways and lowered her voice.

“That man is a wizard. It has a pretty high mana circle. Even though they are below me, they are still below me.”

The magic of the Great Sage, who is unique in the human world, could not be solved by human wizards unless they were high-ranking demons.

He seemed to have noticed that the mana system was distorted after casting a spell on Ikarut, but it was actually a subtle difference.

“Even if you think it’s strange, you won’t be able to tell because you have a close relationship with the priest and the nobleman who holds the status badge.”

“You are so shady to have calculated such things.”

“The warrior is truly amazing.”

Ikarut used his eyes that looked down into the abyss to deliberately target nobles who were close to priests.

A man with squinted eyes will only be suspicious, and it will be difficult for him to tell.

Delphine stuck out her tongue at his thorough calculation.

Mia, who was listening quietly, expressed respect with her eyes sparkling.

“If Nancy is being used by someone… “Can you get your memories back?”

“Is this a favor?”

“It’s a proposal. “It could be of great help to you.”

“Explain why.”

“Nancy specializes in finding the roots of the World Tree. “Can’t she make the holy sword stronger with that?”

Ikarut’s walking speed has slowed down.

As his red eyes turned to the side, Delphine’s mischievous smile caught his eye first.

“How much do you remember?”

“Well? “Your semen is quite effective.”

The root of the world tree was a reinforcement item that appeared in the location where the holy sword was in the previous episode.

Has the scope of memory expanded like Hero Retina, who remembers every episode of her life even though she doesn’t know that this is a game?

Delphine let out a meaningful laugh and led the search for Nancy.

“There is no need for the roots of the World Tree. All you have to do is go to the temple.”

“There is a reason why we insist on a place called a temple.”

Ikarut kept his mouth shut, and Delphine understood it as an affirmation.

But she didn’t ask any more and just glanced at Le Cilia.

“It seems like you also know the roots of the World Tree. If you were chosen by the Holy Sword, you would know that you need the roots of the World Tree.”

“I am following Goddess Gaia’s guidance, and I don’t know anything more than that.”

“Do you really not know? Or are you knowingly condoning it?”

Delphine tried to wake up, but Resilia did not respond, with a gentle smile on her lips.
Mia, who was watching the two’s nervous battle, blinks her eyes and leaves them behind. Eventually, it matches Ikarut’s fast pace.

“Hero.”

“I am not a warrior.”

“You are a warrior because you were chosen by the Holy Sword.”

“… Do what you want.”

“What should I do today?”

“You just have to stay still. “Do not move without my orders.”

Neromoko’s distinctive cat ears fluttered.

She seems to think for a moment, her chin tilts, and then she nods.

“I’m not being abandoned, right?”

“You just have to prove your need. After that, her freedom is guaranteed.”

“Freedom? Freedom…”

The tips of her ears perked up.
She keeps tilting her head as if she is not familiar with the word freedom.
The moment you pass through a long hallway, receive a priest’s prayer, and enter the hall.

“Souls of the North, come this way.

I am blessed to have come under the guidance of Goddess Gaia.”

In her very center was a statue of a goddess with her eyes closed.
There was a fountain around it, and blue flowers were decorated everywhere.

The white-structured building symbolizes nobility and purity.

“Ahh… ♡ You can’t do this… ♡”

“Haha! “Bring more, more alcohol!”

“Yeah, yeah, that place, that place feels so good… !”

The beam of light that came through the stained-glass window on the ceiling clearly illuminated the depraved orgy.
