Chapter 494 – Exchange Meeting (3)
Not once in my life have I acknowledged the existence of God.
That was natural.
I like things that I can see and feel clearly.
On the other hand, what about God?
No matter how much you pray, can you still feel his presence?
Do things like God’s grace and blessings embrace my body in a holy way?
So naturally, within me, God was nothing more than an illusion created by humans.
Of course, I am not denying the influence of its existence on humans, but anyway.
My strong heart, which has never been shaken in my life, is shaking for the first time today.
From the moment you enter the Vatican, the headquarters of the Vatican Orthodox Church.
“… “What are these energies?”
It was truly a unique city.
The buildings built in a style that was popular a long time ago all arouse admiration.
Not only that, but there is also a strange sense of piety.
This was not just a simple sentiment.
In fact, a type of magic that had never been experienced before enveloped this entire small country.
So, what function is this magic used for?
“Protect…, Is it.”
Protection.
It is not simply a narrow sense of protecting the opponent from external raids or attacks.
A lot of anguish and pain that we naturally experience in life.
A support that helps humans overcome the things that corrupt them and make them weak.
The magical power that permeated the entire Vatican was in that role.
The effect was truly amazing.
“Don’t you feel at ease somehow?”
“Huh…, I feel like I woke up after taking a nap in a sunny place in really nice weather.”
“I’m something… “It feels like I’m covering my whole body with a freshly washed and dried fragrant blanket.”
“I think I know what that feeling is, huh.”
The expressions on the faces of the guild members who are now under the protection of this place all look happy.
“I’ve been thinking about something for several days, and suddenly the answer comes to me.”
“Uh, you too?”
“So do i. “I wonder why I even worried about this until now.”
Even the worries that were plaguing my mind seem to have been resolved.
Just like them, I am no different.
“… It’s comfortable.”
The whispers that occasionally ran through my mind suddenly disappeared.
All that remains is silence.
My sexual desire, which had been bubbling like boiling water, suddenly subsided.
A state of mind that is literally like a clear water.
I have confidence in my calm heart.
“… “If I stay here for a month, I’ll either go crazy or die.”
This place is not suitable for someone like me.

20 minutes of walking along the wide path.
A familiar woman is standing in front of the building we arrived at.
The saint’s exclusive maid.
She approaches and bows her head in a polite manner.
“Welcome, Hunter Dojin Kim.”
“It’s been a while since I saw you.”
“It’s an honor to see you again.”
“What glory…”
After briefly saying hello, her gaze turns to the guild members who are slightly frozen by the appearance of a stranger.
“Nice to meet you, Twilight Guild. “I am Mary, the saint’s personal maid.”
“Oh, hello.”
Her name was Mary.
This is my first time hearing it too.
After her brief greeting, she pointed to the large building behind me.
“This is the residence where the Holy Father and the Holy Virgin reside.”
A huge building in classical style.
Looking at the building, which was too large for just the two of us, I realized once again the status of the Pope and the Saint.
Official residence… Although I said that, in reality, wouldn’t the expression “Palace” Be more appropriate?
“Please eat inside.”
Follow her and enter the official residence.
The interior is not much different from the old-fashioned exterior.
However, new-style cultural objects installed here and there are noticeable, as if convenience of life has been taken into consideration.
After all, it is a place where people live, so we can’t insist on the old things.
I reached the 3rd floor by climbing the pillars and climbing the stairs that went up in a straight line.
She reaches the end of the long hallway and opens the door there.
“This is the reception room. The saint will come down soon, so please rest a little.”
Step inside and look around.
The interior looks ordinary at first glance.
However, if you look closely, you can see that this is not the case.
“… “Everything is a master’s work.”
Chairs, tables, curtains.
Even a vase filled with green flowers.
Everything is imprinted with the hands of masters whose depth cannot be easily fathomed.
Probably, if you take a peek at just one of the things here, it would be worth a few hundred million.
He opens his mouth to the guild members wandering around with his rabbit eyes.
“The saint is coming soon, so everyone, don’t stretch out your hands hastily and sit quietly.”
If it breaks or breaks if touched incorrectly, our bank account may be empty.
After making sure that all guild members are seated, I sit down for the last time and calmly take a breath.
From now on, no loopholes can be shown.
In the worst case, it could turn not only the Guardians, but also the entire Vatican Orthodox Church, into enemies.
“Whoa.”
It was when I was exhaling lightly and relieving the pressure that was weighing heavily on my heart.
Rattling!
The door opens, and a familiar-looking woman steps inside.
A woman wearing a plain white dress and a veil that hides her face.
“Nice to meet you, everyone. “I am Saint Sophia Saintes.”
Saint.
The guild members who were already nervous at her appearance freeze even more.
“Oh, hello… Yo. This? Poetry, this is Shin Yu-jeong!”
“My name is Lim Na-eun…”
“Oh my god…, I never thought I would see the saint in person. “Hey, it’s Elena.”
Three people barely greet each other with stiff tone of voice and facial expressions.
“I’m Juyeon Han.”
“Hello, saint.”
Jooyeon and Seoyeon were very good.
Seoyeon is already a Guardian, and Juyeon has also encountered a saint before.
The problem was the two remaining people.
“Ah, well…, Ah, hi…, Do it.”
“Wow…”
The young chicks of our guild.
Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin were almost on the verge of fainting.
What…, It’s not just because I’m nervous.
He’s growing hard and has great talent, but right now he’s just bad.
He must have been overwhelmed by the saintly woman’s power that was implicitly radiating.
Then she spoke, sending pure white magic towards the two of them.
“Hehe, you don’t have to be too nervous.”
“Yes, ah, I understand… “
“Okay, thank you.”
The guys are gradually starting to regain stability.
It’s a warm word, but it’s probably because that magical power acted as a sedative to their frightened hearts.
“Sit down, let’s go.”
The guild members hesitated at her words and sat down again.
The saintess, who was watching them closely as they restlessly looked at her, turned her gaze to me.
“It’s just as Hunter Kim Do-jin said.”
A random word.
But I understood the meaning.
I once urged investment and praised the outstanding potential of guild members.
What I mean is…, Which probably means that she was also impressed by the potential of the guild members.
“I’m glad you liked it.”
“Hehe…, It’s really amazing. “There are so many talented people in Korea.”
This is the part I sympathize with.
Considering the small land mass and small population, there are abnormally many talented people.
They take advantage of this trend and brag about it to the fullest.
“I told you. “You will never regret it.”
“It was like that. I thought that was a bit of a lie…, It was rather humble.”
As she cheerfully agrees, her eyes turn elsewhere.
Finally, the place where I stopped was among the frozen baby chicks holding teacups.
To be more precise, it looks closer to Yoon Si-hoo.
“Did you say these two are apprentices?”
“Yes.”
“Okay…”
The end of the sentence becomes slightly blurred.
There is a slightly different feeling of anticipation than when I see other guild members.
Did I see something different in him?
Eventually, her words continued.
“I’m sorry, but I have something to discuss with Hunter Kim Do-jin, but…, Could you please make room for me?”
“Oh, yes.”
Guild members hurriedly get up from their seats with puzzled expressions.
“We’ll talk about what we haven’t finished tomorrow and the day after. There is still plenty of time. “Merry!”
“Yes, saint.”
“Could you please guide our guests to their accommodations?”
“I understand.”
Guild members leaving the reception room with Mary.
Eventually, when only the two of them were left in the space, her mouth opened again.
“They are really nice people. “I don’t think there are any flaws, both in terms of ability and personality.”
“… Really?”
I recognize his skills, but his personality is a bit…, It’s unexpected.
Those perverts have no personality flaws?
No, it’s a matter of inclination, so let’s put it aside.
Our Yujeong has no flaws in her personality.
Probably not?
“The outside and the inside are two different things.”
“Ah…”
To be honest, I didn’t understand, but I forced myself to understand.
If that’s the case for our saint, then it must be like that.
These days, I’ve become kinder in my own way.
“If you need anything, please ask at any time. “If it’s for their growth, I don’t think there’s any need to spare it.”
“Wow.”
As much as you want, Rani.
Isn’t this the same as giving you a black card with almost unlimited limits?
It was a time when I was struggling under her infinite love.
“Instead… Even so, can I ask you a favor?”
Please.
“There are as many favors that I can grant.”
No matter how good a deal is made with good intentions, it can be ruined once it is accepted.
Rather, it is a hundred or a thousand times better to take some of the pressure off by granting an appropriate favor.
Her words continue.
“Among the apprentices who came with me a little while ago… “Did you say Mr. Yoon Si-hoo?”
“Yes.”
“I wish you would pay more attention to his growth… “Is it possible?”
What is it?
Suddenly she wants to pay more attention to Yoon Si-hoo’s growth.
“What I’m saying is that you should pay more attention to her… ?”
“I mean it literally. “I hope you can see her growth becoming more noticeable than it is now.”
“That…”
It is a difficult question to answer with certainty.
Yoon Si-hoo’s recent growth is already very noticeable, but if she needs to expand her range further…, Well.
There may be no way, but you will have to cross a slightly dangerous river.
I suddenly became curious.
“Is there a reason why it has to be like that?”
Why is she more interested in Yoon Si-hoo’s growth than anyone else?
“That…”
A harsh tone.
Is this a difficult topic to talk about?
As I calmly wait for her thoughts to come together, she soon continues speaking.
“I guess it’s right to tell you. Mr. Dojin is also a colleague I trust.”
A trusted colleague.
It was a time when I was pondering over a word that was pleasant to hear, but yet strangely uncomfortable.
“It was faint, but I felt a trace.”
“Trace?”
“Yes. A trace of God’s grace.”
As soon as she hears her words, her eyes widen as if torn.
It’s God’s grace.
That doesn’t mean… ?
“He has the potential to become an apostle of God just like me.”
“… !”
