Chapter 28 – Day 4 – Pagan and Lucia
The princess regretted thinking that if she walked along the path properly, she would soon find a pagan temple.
Her skirt was also pulled up high enough to show her knees, but she kept thinking that it was uncomfortable and hot because she was walking on the road where her feet hurt.
Venus, who was about to climb a mountain, looked at Lucia, who was breathing hard as she walked, and clicked her tongue.
‘I’m full of heart to complain that it’s hard… But seeing that heavy-looking plate armor and not even saying that it’s hard…’
Her words to rest because she was tired reached the top of her throat, but Lucia, who was sweating, was walking away ignorantly, so it felt impolite to say her words.
Since Venus is in a position where she has to gain favor somehow, ‘He talked coolly before, but now he’s sweating profusely and asking to rest… I didn’t want to be looked at with contempt.
What reason is there to make up a reason to hate yourself in a situation where even if you show your best side as much as possible, it is not enough?
“If you go a little further, you will see the temple where the pagans live in hiding.”
“You… Ha, how do you know that?”
“As I said the other day. We heretical purifiers have the power to find evil things by receiving the blessing of the goddess.”
It may feel like a dog with a good nose finding a criminal.
The princess couldn’t even ask a grown woman if she sniffed her like her dog, even if she died, and she awkwardly cleared her throat as she looked into Lucia’s eyes and opened her mouth.
“If what you say is true, you will be able to meet the heretics in a little while. But, Lucia, you do not intend to kill them as soon as you meet them, do you?”
“You’re asking the obvious.”
Lucia shrugged her shoulders lightly and closed her eyes.
“It’s just killing those who deserve to die. Princess. Please don’t misunderstand.”
“What… Is there even a need to kill me as soon as I meet you for not committing a major sin and having a different belief?”
“You are saying this because you do not know anything. You are saying that because you do not know anything.”
Lucia’s eyes were shining bright enough to feel dangerous.
Even after talking to her thousands of times and bringing dozens of different examples, her firm belief didn’t seem to be shaken in the slightest, but in the end the princess decided to just shake her head left and right rather than convince her with her words.
Even after arguing with Lucia, she gets nothing back to herself, and she doesn’t even have a crush on the cultist.
She just felt repulsed by the fact that she killed others as soon as she met her.
“Ah, I can already see it. The cultists really… Build temples so big that they’re useless.”
“Yeah… Sure, it’s big enough to know it’s in the forest. But…”
The two pillars in the distance were taller than the trees around them, but were entangled with vines.
Part of the temple looked like that, so it was obvious what it would look like if you got closer.
‘The entrance is collapsed, or there’s nothing except that huge stone pillar. In the end, it’s obvious that they went back to work in vain.’
Even after graduating, including her days at the academy, Venus was still the princess of the empire, so she did many things.
Unlike the emperor, who had to sit on her splendid throne and keep her place, the princess was a pretty good chess piece.
She was the only daughter of a great ruler, and as her heir, she was not so much as to appear in person, but to nobles she was very honored, and to commoners the emperor did not dare to see her face.
Thanks to that, the princess had experienced a few things that were difficult to do commonly, such as exploring dungeons, but those experiences were helping her now.
“Wherever you look… Isn’t it unreasonable to think that there is a temple here. Lucia.”
After walking for another 30 minutes, Lucia and the princess were finally able to reach a huge building made of stone.
The building that appeared to be a pagan temple looked exactly the same as the princess expected, but apart from the tall and tall stone pillars that could be seen from a distance, there were quite a few remains of the building that indicated that there was a temple here.
Other than that, not a single intact building was visible, and a stone pillar with a broken shape was visible at the entrance to the artificially created cave.
“As the princess said…”
Lucia, not very surprised or embarrassed, as if this had happened once or twice, slowly headed towards the entrance of the cave.
“Originally, it would have been a bigger entrance than this place… Yes, isn’t it common to build a temple in a naturally formed cave?”
“Those who lack faith will do so.”
Lucia glanced into the cave with a look of blatant disregard for the heretics, and then suddenly drew the sword from its scabbard her.
“As expected!! You’re in here! You’re behind me. You don’t know what evil cultists may do!”
Hitting her, she turned around. Before she had time to stop, she was about to run inside, but she could see things in human form quickly fleeing inside, although she was blurry from the inside of the cave.
I could hear her clattering footsteps her too, so it wasn’t that Lucia was fussing over her fuss her and that she was going to do something on her own.
“Lucia! Don’t act rashly! Even if there are cultists inside! Outnumber us… Damn it!”
What the hell did you see? Before Lucia could hear the princess’s words, she ran like lightning and went into the cave.
– Deed Dede Deuk! Deed Dede Deuk! Hard!
Even as soon as Lucia goes inside, she hears the ominous sound of her machinery moving from inside the cave.
“Chit..!”
The princess, who did not want to be alone in the mountains like this, had no choice but to pull out her sword, which was loosely tied around her waist her, and carefully went inside. Could reveal
Unlike the sound of her mechanical device her, there was no trap where an arrow flew and became her hedgehog the moment she took a wrong step, and only the footsteps echoing through the cave remained and lingered in her ears her.
Venus, who turned her eyes to find her only ally her in her cave her, her High Priest her, saw her standing in front of a white disc.
The space where the princess was standing now was too narrow. She would surely be able to get inside, but the pure white disc, like the door to the room, was denying further entry.
“Filthy things! The flames of the great Goddess of Justice will burn you to death…!!”
She screamed loudly and kicked the giant disk in front of her with her kick her and clench her fists hard enough to bang! Bang! It hit so hard that the sound echoed through the cave.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have superhuman strength either, so she couldn’t even push the giant stone disk aside, let alone break it.
Lucia must have seen her disc her moving the moment she looked at it with her own two eyes. She stretched out her hand and touched every nook and cranny of her disc for a while, but she didn’t move.
“It seems like something special…!”
As Lucia gritted her teeth, she kicked her disc one last time and turned her body her to face her princess.
“Dirty cultists have run into this… Evil, scumbags…”
“When has a pagan ever been welcomed? Isn’t it good news that there is a door though?”
At the words of her princess, Lucia bit her lip tightly and lost herself in her thoughts, then she slowly nodded her head.
“Certainly… Those evil things didn’t collapse the cave, nor did they seal the door with evil magic. Did the princess hear a sound when she entered the cave?”
“I heard the old machinery moving. It wasn’t like an earthquake.”
“I’ve heard the same thing. I’m sure… There must be a mechanism for opening this annoying door somewhere here.”
Lucia, speaking with a serious expression, seemed unwilling to leave the cave unless all the pagans were killed today.
The princess could not help but let out a sigh and quietly turned her eyes to look inside her, but there was one guy who immediately caught her eye her.
“This…”
The rectangular altar made of black stone was about as high as the princess’s navel.
“I don’t think it’s an altar for offering sacrifices.”
Lucia also approached Venus with her eyes fixed on the black altar and began to examine every nook and cranny, but she could not find anything particularly remarkable.
“We have to open this door. We will be able to punish the filthy heretics inside. Princess.”
“You keep saying you’re dirty, but what kind of god are you saying you’re dirty because you believe in?”
The princess slaps the altar in front of her with her palm in her.
I had hope that it would work on its own when I hit it, but unfortunately, it’s hard! There was no such thing as a mechanical device suddenly operating while making a huge sound.
“If the story you hear in church is killing, then it must be the god of love.”
“The god of love?”
“Yes, you may not have heard of it, but the god of love promises very dangerous beliefs and powers.”
With a serious expression on her face her, Lucia stepped away from her altar and headed towards the white disk.
Of course, there was no way the door would suddenly open, so she had no choice but to walk slowly inside the narrow cave, looking for a hidden device she hadn’t found.
At the same time, she carries on with her words her, holding her own hands slightly raised, holding back her seething rage.
“The god of love is said to give followers the power to do anything in the name of love.”
“Is there any reason for that to be dangerous? If you have love, can you surpass the race? The story of an elf marrying a human is quite popular…”
“That’s right. If you have love, you can do anything. But Princess, think about it.”
Lucia slams her white disk with force, with her hand clenched into her fist her.
“A trash who lives by begging day by day without a home, falls in love with a beautiful countess one day. He was a being who could not distinguish between love and sexual desire, and somehow wanted to have the countess…”
“You mean to go to the god of love and ask him to make your love come true?”
“That’s right. The god of love likes stories of love coming true, so he uses his power his to help make love happen. Most of them try to rape the countess, but what can a little beggar do?”
Lucia let out a snort of her own for a moment, as if she had imagined it wasn’t too bad.
“In most cases, you will be captured by the soldiers and killed. Princess?
“Even if life disappears while trying hard to achieve love that cannot be achieved, it is a place of tribute dedicated to oneself to the god of love.
With a look of understanding on her face her, the princess let out a deep sigh and shook her head from side to side.
At least, the Goddess of Justice, the deity worshiped by the Order of Saints, wasn’t an existence that went that far.
The princess smiled wryly and fumbled her hand, wanting to find a storage space hidden in her altar her one last time.
Even though she had a torch, she was making a gentle fire, so even though it was dangerous for her, it was helpful in her exploration of her.
“Yes…?’
The princess, who had moved her hand for a while, frowned.
Something slippery liquid had touched her palm, and there was a strange hole through which the liquid flowed.
“What is this… No wait…”
The princess slowly felt the hole with her own hand.
She had the odd bumps in place, which made her feel like a living creature was being held inside an altar.
However, no matter how much the hole was touched, no liquid flowed out or any biological reaction could be felt.
“What are you doing, Princess? No.. Wait… Please continue.”
Lucia also thought Venus was fooling around at first, but whenever she moved her finger back and forth, she could confirm that a soft light was coming up from the groove carved in the ground.
“There is a strange hole in this… Altar. Lucia. Every time I touch this hole, light emanates from below… “
“This can’t be…”
Lucia put on a look of apprehension on her part her, then came over to her princess and groped her as she brought her finger her to her poking hole her.
After that, she was started and cleared her throat briefly, then looked at the princess.
“This was created by the god of love to keep his followers safe… It’s like a safety device.”
“This… A nasty hole?”
“Yes, that door will never open unless it goes through this device.”
“God bless you. Through this device, if you don’t follow the correct method, the door will never open? Are you saying that?”
Lucia lightly nods her head instead of answering.
“Then, isn’t it easy? Tell me how. No, since you know what this device is, you seem to know how.”
“I know the way. If there’s a problem, it’s the way I can’t do it. Princess.”
“When you say you can’t, it sounds like I can.”
Lucia did not immediately answer the princess’s question, and she briefly turned her head to the side.
Uncharacteristically, she crossed her arms and quietly pondered.
“Don’t be the only one worrying about it, talk to me, the princess, in a calm manner. If it’s too absurd, shouldn’t one of you stay here and the other go down to the village and ask for help? “
“The princess… I need your help.”
As if Lucia had finished her troubles her, she brought her hand her to her black altar and lightly squeezed the handle, then she let go.
She seemed to know very well what Venus was supposed to do in the future, and it seemed that she had seen such things done in the past.
“You have to ejaculate by taking the princess’ penis and inserting it into the hole in this altar. Then the goddess of love will open the door.”
