Chapter 193 – Drawing the Holy Sword
Match!
… Seed
Match!
… Mr. Yang
Match!
“Mr. Sun!”
“Yes?”
After losing consciousness as soon as he heard Luvenia’s last words.
When she came to her senses again, her holy woman was mercilessly slapping my cheek.
Match!
“Relax!”
“I’ve got it.”
“Aww!”
Don’t you have any ill feelings towards me?
His cheeks were swollen after being hit so many times with such suspiciously cheap balls.
As soon as the saintess heard my words, she immediately distanced herself from me.
Maybe he was grabbing his collar and slapping his cheek, but his clothes were slightly raised.
“If you’re surprised after hitting everyone…”
“I…I’m in a hurry too. I don’t know what happened…”
Come to think of it, did she say that as soon as she entered Akabelm, Luvenia settled in?
‘Well, come to my senses, I’m fainting, and I don’t have any memories, so I’m sure it’s embarrassing.’
I understood, but I wondered if it was a matter of slapping the cheek so harshly.
I shook my head and brushed her thoughts out of my head.
It was a question that could be asked later, and it was not important.
“I met with Rubenia.”
“Yeah?!”
A look of pure surprise that he really doesn’t know anything.
If it was acting, it was at a level that no one in the world could trust.
“How?”
“Saintess, using her body as a medium…”
I took a moment to speak here.
‘It’s not a story worth talking about most of the time.’
Starting from the fact that I was possessed, to the secret of An Fatty and the part about Kim Min-soo.
It wasn’t a topic to bring up rashly, and it was something I couldn’t tell anyone.
There’s only one thing I can do.
“I heard about the holy sword.”
Luvenia’s last words to draw out the holy sword.
This part was not solved because I had it alone.
“Did you tell me to pull out the holy sword?”
“Yeah.”
I’m sure there was something.
As soon as the saintess heard the story of the holy sword, her expression became very serious.
Dozens of times trying to say something, stopping and thinking about it.
After a few minutes, the saintess finally opened her mouth.
“That’s a bit… Embarrassing.”
“Why?”
When I said that it was difficult, I immediately asked a question.
‘No, Rubenia told me to pick one, but what’s the trouble?’
The saintess refused to do what the god she believed in said.
“That, that’s…”
After she said that she was in trouble, her face turned completely red and she lowered her head.
After coming to Luvenia, it’s good that her development went straight, but it was embarrassing to see more unknown parts.
You should know what it is to understand what you are doing.
Since there was no information, all I could see was the saintess interfering.
“I’ll explain that part.”
The moment when a strange silence tries to fill the avalum.
A polite voice came from behind.
“Since the Holy Lady descended, it will be difficult, so please go in first. I will take care of this.”
“…Thank you, Percus.”
There is no mention of the pope here.
If only outside the Holy Kingdom, respect each other and thoroughly hide who is the top.
At Akavelm, he treated them as usual and showed a perfect relationship between the top and the bottom.
‘In normal novels, don’t the Pope just treat a saint?’
I assumed that 〈 Academy Sunae Journal 〉 would be different from that.
I had just learned that the saintess was perfectly above the pope.
Otherwise, there was no way the saintess would just disappear while calling the pope by name.
“It’s not something to talk about while standing, so I’ll take you here for now.”
“Yep.”
“It’s a very secret VIP room in Arkabelm.”
Percus led me into Ekabelm with leisurely steps.
I could see that he was trying to relax me as much as possible by watching him talk behind his back.
In fact, he was the Pope who couldn’t know more about her than the saint.
‘I don’t know what they’re thinking about.’
Even if you want to cope with everything calmly in tolerable situations.
The pope jumps up and down as if it were his own daughter when it comes to anything to do with a saint.
Taking this opportunity to find out, I followed Percus.
‘It’s similar to the VIP room.’
The space we were guided to had a very similar structure to the VIP room at the academy.
Maybe Chun Hae-il made the VIP room and the inside of the archives similar in consideration.
A mural of a praying man hanging on the wall, a luxurious leather sofa that looks precious at a glance, and an antique table.
Rather than feeling like an extravagance, it feels natural as if there is furniture that should be there.
“Because this is my only hobby.”
Wouldn’t the pope have to live by exhausting his desires?
Perkus spat out those words and laughed haphazardly.
It seems obvious that I was too blatantly examining the furniture and estimating the price.
“No, it’s not that, it’s just that I’m interested in things like this.”
“Oh, is that so? Come to think of it, I heard that you live alone.”
“Yes, that’s why I see it like this. How much do you like this?”
“It’s about the size of my greed.”
How much is the price, I can’t even say properly.
‘But again, this is the first time the pope has been so openly honest with his desires.’
Usually, don’t you put these things in a safe or collect them as jewels?
The furniture in the VIP room and the carpet made from tiger skins on the floor.
Even I, an outsider in this field, can feel how luxurious this small space is.
“Where would a priest without desire be? Power makes people, and in the past, my goal was just to live happily together.”
It was unavoidable to be ugly.
But if left alone, it will go bad, so I have no choice but to cut it out like this.
I nodded at Percus’s words.
“I agree.”
“Heh heh, having received sympathy from the CEO of Victory, the burden on my heart becomes much lighter. What would you like for tea? Coffee? Black tea? Juice?”
“I’ll take the juice.”
“You have a good sense. We will bring you the Holy Orange Juice, which Luvenia is proud of.”
Please wait for a moment. Oh, by the way, there is no real divine power.
With that said, Percus left the VIP room.
‘Didn’t you make someone below you?’
This was a surprise.
He said he expressed his desire openly, so of course I thought he would have someone do it.
‘I’m being treated very cordially.’
Even if she knew that she had met Luvenia, she even doubted whether this level of treatment was right for a mediocre cadet.
Rather, this is a trap, and it is more realistic to be attacked with the ceiling suddenly collapsing.
She was also suspicious of continuously choosing long introductions.
What the hell are you trying to say about something important?
‘As soon as I said the holy sword, the saintess was in trouble… And the pope appeared as if he had promised…’
Is it like the flow that Rubenia made intentionally?
It didn’t seem like it was limited to Advent because it was Akavelm.
At least this level of causality could be created.
Still, I’m a rookie, but it’s ridiculous that I can’t do this either.
‘It’s like saying that a fat guy isn’t as easy as you think.’
Damn, it’s getting more and more confusing.
Around the time I was spending time thinking about things like that.
Percus came in with a bowl full of juice and cookies.
“Did you wait for a long time? I’m sorry. Cookies were being baked, so I brought some for my convenience.”
Holy chocolate cookies made from cacao from Rubenia.
Of course, this also has no divine power.
Percus laughed when he said that, and I laughed along and thanked him.
But.
‘I can’t stay like this forever.’
Until Kim Min-soo, it was difficult to delay any longer due to the situation in Rubenia.
That’s why I brought up the main topic right away.
“I’m sorry to say this, Pope, but now…”
“That’s right, that’s right. Haha, I’m nervous too, so it’s a bit difficult to say. I just made the introduction too long.”
Perkus continued his words, saying not to worry.
“Judging from what you said about the holy sword, you must have met Luvenia-sama.”
“Yeah.”
“Very few people know about the existence of the holy sword. The saintess, me, Baelson, and a few high-ranking officials.”
But the fact that an outsider knows about it must be proof that you have met God.
He took a sip of juice and quenched his throat.
“Pulling out the holy sword can actually be challenged by anyone. It’s possible without meeting Luvenia-sama, and you don’t have to be a hero.”
Words that were properly conscious of me and Kim Min-soo came out.
No, more than that, anyone can challenge it.
‘No, that’s right.’
Fixed my thoughts
Normally, this kind of development would naturally allow only the ‘chosen ones’ to draw the sword.
Percus also knew that, so he must have said that anyone can ‘challenge’.
There is a big difference between trying and actually achieving it.
“But we forbade even such a challenge. Why do you think that would be?”
You don’t know that, so you’re listening to the story.
Looking at him with that expression, Percus gave the correct answer with a friendly smile.
“It’s because the holy sword is connected to the saintess.”
“Yeah?”
Percus smiled and spoke, and a faint murderous feeling lingered in the corners of his eyes.
As if you were wondering if you could handle the saintess, you were determined to the point of dying to protect her saintess.
It is filled with a very small life.
“Pulling out the holy sword means having a holy woman.”
Can you afford it?
The pope’s low words filled the VIP room.
