Chapter 991 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (49)
“You guys, I’m sure your head is working fine.”
The problem is that their efforts are unlikely to be effective.
I can hear all the plans they make, but there’s no way they can succeed?
If they make plans, I intend to use their plans in reverse.
Perhaps they will never know.
How can you imagine cockroaches stealing their plans?
It seemed good to take this opportunity to break trust in each other.
“Anyway, I don’t like the temple falling like this.”
The Paladins’ participation in the war was to create a great sense of crisis for our knights.
Thanks to this, the skills of the knights increased significantly, but it was not that there were no knights who suffered great damage from dealing with the paladins.
“So, since the situation is going to be unfavorable one-sidedly, are you going to run away on your own?”
I had no intention of receiving this war reparation only from the Geos Empire.
Didn’t the temple suffer any loss from this incident?
The loss of the lives of several paladins and priests was not enough to say that they had received a proper price.
‘Before going to war, I’ll have to clean things up from the inside.’
The priests who had left the medicine in the prayer room and left it unattended.
And even the paladins who make a fuss in the prison where prisoners are confined day by day.
We must allow them to return and become the sharp thorns of the temple.
The build-up was necessary for future plans, and I was planning to use the build-up to convince the paladins and priests.
‘Actually, it’s not that complicated. It just needs to be shown in front of my eyes.’
Even if you show proof that you are a messenger of God in front of your eyes, there will be people who won’t believe it.
But it should be enough to shake the faith in their hearts.
Since I had borrowed the title of ‘Messenger of God’, my plan was to use it properly.
‘Those who believe that I am a messenger of God will attack the temple that persecuted me.’
There is nothing more meaningless than continuing to believe in the god who abandoned this world.
You will inadvertently create a new faith, but I think the results will not be bad.
If I sacrifice my body to create a new faith for them, the temple will have a new heyday through those who directly witnessed the miracle.
I won’t be able to drive out those who persecuted me at once.
Shrines are those who have reigned as the evil forces for over hundreds of years.
Still, isn’t my acting amazing?
‘I have to show you an incredible miracle.’
I was going to do whatever it took to break their faith.
I was about to use the ‘dream’ as a way to shake their firmly rooted faith.

“Did you lose sleep? You look tired.”
“Yeah…Well, the bed was always bad. I thought I was used to it now, but I guess not.”
“To be honest, I’ve been having a bit of a rough sleep lately. I keep having dreams that I can’t remember.”
One hour per day opportunity to use the prayer room.
It was also the only time the priests could talk freely.
Although they are imprisoned together, it was better to keep their mouth shut, because the guards would not let them sit still if they chatted there.
“You don’t remember what the dream was about?”
“Yes, it lingers, but it’s not clear. Maybe there’s just a lingering aftertaste? Besides, when you wake up from a dream, it’s as if you’ve exhausted all your strength, and it’s hard to think of anything else because you’re exhausted. You ask?”
“…It’s kind of weird. Actually, I’ve been dreaming a lot lately too. But I can’t remember the content at all.”
“Are you in a similar situation to me?”
“Yes.”
If they were ordinary people, they would think nothing of it and move on, saying that even a big problem would come from having a wild dream.
But a very long past.
Priests used to receive the word of God through dreams.
However, from a certain point on, it became considered like a legend because the voice of the god could not be heard in the dream.
It was almost like a visceral intuition.
“…It’s kind of weird. I don’t know if I’m alone, but didn’t we both have similar disturbing dreams?”
“Isn’t it because the seat isn’t comfortable?”
“No. No. I think this… Might be quite unusual.”
“…Mmm.”
The other priest seemed to be tilting his head as if he had no inspiration.
“Of course not, but I think it’s better than not being careful.”
“It is.”
“If God really chose us to deliver His message, then what could be more disloyal than ignoring the revelation?”
“You’re right. But what should I do?”
“Try to remember your dreams as much as possible, and when you wake up, pray right away.”
“Would it work if I raised my prayers?”
“You won’t be able to remember the contents of the dream right away. I am also in a state of uncertainty. But in an old book I read, it was said that if you receive a revelation from God, you must pray as soon as you wake up so that you can remember it for a long time.”
He wondered if the dream he had had really meant so much, but he nodded willingly as there was no reason not to do it.
“I’ll try it.”
That night.
The two priests asked the soldier to wash themselves clean and went to sleep.
And the two of them dreamed without fail, and immediately after waking up, they prayed and tried to hold on to the memories in the dream.
“I did as you said, and I was able to hold on to very faint memories.”
“Me too. Why don’t we share our dreams with each other?”
“What if the dream I had was a revelation from God?”
“We need to find out what kind of message he is conveying.
One of the two chosen priests did not have a very strong personality.
Perhaps he was really excited about the fact that he was a priest who received divine revelations, so he couldn’t make fun of his mouth heavily.
“Really? You’re receiving a revelation from God?”
“…How did you know that?”
“Words have spread!”
“Damn it, I’m not sure. It just might be. I don’t want enemy soldiers to find out about this. Everyone, please keep your mouth shut.”
How important this job is right now, but to transfer the word to another priest with an uncertain matter!
I didn’t know you were such a careless person.
But the problem started after that.
“I had a dream too!”
Another priest said that he seemed to have received a revelation as well.
“That can’t be the case. Do you think anyone receives revelations?”
He refuted as if he had heard the priest who confessed to having received the revelation.
“Like you said, I felt a sense of elasticity as if all my strength had been lost in a dream I couldn’t remember! I also received a revelation.”
However, the priest who had the dream was convinced that he too had received a revelation.
“What was it about?”
“I don’t remember. But I’m sure I’ve had a revelation.”
“It’s shameless! You’re copying what I said!”
“Do you really think I’m lying? Then how are you going to prove that the priest received the revelation? You said you had the same dream as me, and you couldn’t remember the content of the dream!”
He didn’t know that another priest would come out saying he had received a revelation.
The priest gritted his teeth as he regretted speaking about the revelation too late.
“Tsk tsk tsk! A careless person. Isn’t this what happens when you recklessly talk about revelations!”
“I never imagined it would come out like that! For you to lie about receiving a revelation… You will be punished!”
“I don’t know anymore. Please be careful not to get into the jailer’s ears.”
The priest decided to pay attention to the priest who acted rashly and focus on recalling the revelation.
He thought that the reason the revelation he was receiving in his dreams was not clearly memorable was because he did not have the right environment.
‘I still have to do it.’
I had to increase my divine power even a little more and interpret the revelation with certainty.
But…
“Excuse me…”
“Is there a problem?”
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ve had a revelation…”
“Yes?”
Things were getting weirder and weirder.
Not only did the priest receive the revelation, but even the paladin began to dream.
“Haa~ Why are you doing this? Even if the priests do immature things, even the knights shouldn’t be like this.”
“I didn’t want to do this either, so I put up with it for a few days. I thought it wouldn’t be. But I don’t miss a day and I keep dreaming!”
“I can’t remember the contents of the dream, and when I wake up, I feel tired as if I used all my energy?”
“Yes!”
“I keep feeling like I’m having a strange dream.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“…I really can’t help it at this level. I don’t think this is a revelation.”
“Yes?”
“God doesn’t give revelations like this. This is something else.”
I wish it had been a revelation.
However, the number of people who said they had received revelations was increasing day by day.
When I woke up, I began to remember what had happened in my dream gradually to see if the prayer had worked, but I decided to clean up my lingering feelings.
“What did the emperor do to us?”
“Emperor? Are you talking about the Emperor of the Empire?”
“Yes, since he is the one who handles powers that cannot be explained in words, he cheated on our dreams. It can’t be done. I need to let everyone know. “
While the paladin was making a puzzled expression.
He waited for the time to come when he could use the prayer room.
There, he had to ask the priests not to be seduced by dreams.
