I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Apprentices, priests, and even knights and Imperial Palace people couldn’t close their mouths.

“Wha-What is that?”

“Tha-That’s the Blue? It’s the Blue, right?”

Isaac went up on the stage, receiving everyone’s gazes on his body.

Isaac, bathed in light, was glittering and shining. It was a dazzling light to the point where it seemed impossible to shine so brightly.

It couldn’t help but shine. From head to toe, he was wearing expensive jewels to the point where it was unthinkable to be so luxurious.

It is said that high-quality jewels have an outstanding sparkle, and as expected, the glittering didn’t stop around Isaac. The trajectory of the sparkle was visible where he passed by.

The decorations were not just ordinary decorations.

Even the parts of the small locks were densely crafted with jewels, and every single thread weaving the priest’s robe was entirely gold.

Not to mention the embroideries made to be seen, from the hat to the ear ornaments, funeral ribbon, necklace, bracelet, belt, rings, clothing accessories, and even shoes. Everyone couldn’t close their mouths at the appearance reminiscent of an emperor or pope.

If it was breathtaking even for aristocrats with enormous wealth, it was estimated how expensive the things Isaac was wearing.

Yes. In a word, extravagance!

Extravagance that makes you wonder if it could be more luxurious than this!

“The-The Blue…!”

“The frugal Blue…!”

“Such extravagance!”

Shuri couldn’t help but scream inside.

‘Isaaaaac!’

You crazy bastard, what kind of appearance is that! Don’t tell me everything in the bag was all jewels?!

‘How many necklaces are you wearing… You crazy guy!’

He couldn’t even see his neck.

‘Isn’t it heavy?!’

Even the Cardinals sitting rarely looked at Isaac with a pale face, then stealthily glanced at the Blue Cardinal.

Grandfather… was looking at the ceiling with his arms crossed. It seemed like he was regretting giving the junior family head position.

Even the arrogant, my-way Black Cardinal had a dumbfounded face. Isaac would be the only one in the entire continent to make that person make such an expression.

What’s dumbfounding is that it strangely suits him well.

If someone else wore it, they would have looked like a nouveau riche or a bumpkin eaten by jewels, but he’s amazingly pulling off that pile of jewels.

‘Is it the face after all? Did the face do everything?’

Moreover, that blue fabric he’s wearing!

That dye called ‘Eshua Blue’ was a color made by a legendary craftsman called by an Emperor of another country who received grace from Eshua, solely for Eshua.

It is the one and only color evaluated as the most beautiful among all the blue colors on the continent, but it was a dye so expensive that even a fingernail-sized fabric would cost billions. It’s a color that even great aristocrats and royalty can’t dare to use.

So even the Duchy family members only used a little bit for the purpose of offering to the temple of god!

But…!

‘This bastard, the first thing he did after becoming the junior family head was turning over the temple of god!’

No, that’s not what’s important.

“For the Blue, whose virtue is frugality, to have such an appearance of extravagance…!”

The Eshua people let out a sigh.

“The Blue already had no newbies, and it looks like more will fall away…”

“The Blue was rich…?”

“Blue… had a lot of money.”

“?!”

The young apprentice graduates were looking up at Isaac with an enraptured face.

“They have the highest honor in the Empire, and they were also rich…!”

“Now that I see it, they had money but were frugal…”

“Damn it… Does it mean they were rich enough to be leisurely even without deliberately showing it!”

“They say those who have are rather humble…!”

“Damn… It’s so cool! Should I go to the Blue…?”

No, why is it having an effect?!

Seeing the apprentices bewitched by wealth, Shuri’s head was spinning.

The young apprentices’ eyes were strange, lost in the brilliance they had never seen before in their lives. Of course, it was an age for that to happen.

In fact, the senior priests who were staring at the jewels in a daze seemed to be astonished and shook their heads.

“Who would fall for such a show…”

“You couldn’t take your eyes off…”

“Ahem! Anyway, isn’t it a show? The kids aren’t stupid either. Everyone will know that it’s too risky to choose the Blue with that kind of thing…”

But it was then.

As if this wasn’t the end, Isaac took something out of his bosom.

The ones who were startled by that item were none other than the Gold Cardinal and the Red Cardinal. They had faces asking why that was coming out from there.

As expected, the priests greatly buzzed.

“Isn’t that the Gold Family’s item? It has the seal of His Holiness the Pope…!”

“Does it mean that Gold is supporting the Blue?”

Isaac stood on tiptoe as if telling them to watch closely, then spun his body around to show here and there, and then swiftly hung it around his neck.

The gazes of the priests and apprentices had no choice but to change.

‘Could it be? Is it the Pope’s hidden revelation to choose the Blue this year?’

‘If it’s the Blue alone, I don’t know, but if it’s the Blue supported by the Gold, the story changes again?’

At the same time, the Gold priests who saw this had no choice but to grab the backs of their necks.

“No! Wait…! Who gave that again? Why is the family’s treasure there?”

“This will affect the faith selection…!”

They looked at the Gold Cardinal with eyes full of resentment.

The Gold Cardinal, sighing deeply, bowed his head and held his forehead. It goes without saying who brought that.

“Kina…”

On the other hand, the White Cardinal was about to die laughing. She was pitifully trying hard not to show that she was holding back laughter by holding her stomach.

But the Red Cardinal, who had his arms crossed, also had twitching facial muscles.

Following the gold necklace, Isaac now showed off the Red’s ruby as if to show off. The priests’ eyes had no choice but to widen.

“Isn’t that the Red Family’s insignia!”

“Does it mean that Red also supports the Blue?”

In an instant, the eyebrows of the laughing Red Cardinal twitched.

“That little brat…”

He told Naiser to get close to Isaac because of the God of Criminal Justice, but this is not it. He can’t even treat him carelessly now that he’s become the junior family head.

“It’s fine. Quickly let him say his top graduate speech and send him down.”

It was the Red Cardinal’s order to get it out of his sight right away, as he would let it go this time since he had no choice.

Startled by that order, the protocol priest quickly approached Isaac and hastily whispered.

But Isaac only furrowed his eyebrows.

“Huh? There’s no time, so proceed quickly?”

Nod nod.

Isaac let out a hollow laugh and stood in his place as if saying, ‘Well, fine.’

The protocol priest wiped his sweat as if it was finally resolved and continued.

“Then we will have the graduation representative’s congratulatory speech. Looking back on the apprentice life so far, expressing gratitude to the seniors…”

“Listen well. The Blue will be different from now on.”

“!”

“!?”

“…?!”

It was Isaac who suddenly started introducing the Blue when told to give a graduation speech.

The Cardinals looked at Isaac in surprise. No, what is that guy doing now in the congratulatory speech? They sent him up to express gratitude on behalf of the newbies, but he’s interfering with the faith selection?

But seeing those expressions, Isaac laughed, haha. Why? The graduation representative is given time to say what they want in front of all the newbies, right?

‘Do you think I’ll miss this awesome promotion time?’

If you didn’t like this, you shouldn’t have given me the graduation representative position!

[No… They probably didn’t expect you to do this either…]

In fact, not only the Cardinals but also the priests of other faiths were surprised.

No, the promotion of faith should be done after the graduation ceremony, not now! What if you do it here! This is foul play!

But considering Isaac’s position as the junior family head and the situation where everyone is watching, they can’t recklessly pull him out.

“Gra-Graduation representative. Please postpone the stories unrelated to graduation for later, and now to the seniors and gods, express gratitude…”

But Isaac, who got the solo stage, ignored this and grinned.

“Listen well. If you come to the Blue, I will give you twice the salary that Gold gives.”

“What?!”

“This amounts to three times that of Red and Black, and compared to White, it reaches four times the amount.”

The hall greatly buzzed. The apprentices murmured as if asking what this meant, and the senior priests of other faiths let out hollow laughs as if dumbfounded.

“The Blue must be in a hurry too, I see.”

“Right. Seeing the junior family head doing that much, it’s a pitiful situation.”

“Well, it’s true that the Blue’s salary was low. With that much, they’ll barely become similar to us…”

“By the way, it’s weekly.”

“What the hell?!”

This time, even the senior priests’ eyes rolled back.

Priests are not employees, but once they belong to each family and receive missions, they did receive an allowance corresponding to that. Salary was also an extension of that.

But… Blue, are you crazy?

Suddenly raising the allowance like this?

But that wasn’t the only surprising thing.

“The food, clothing, and shelter of the priests will also be reformed.”

“!”

“My appearance is an ambition for that. This is just a very small example.”

The priests buzzed.

“Wasn’t the Blue the faith of frugality!”

“Are they improving the treatment a bit now?”

“If the conditions are good, the Blue is also worth considering.”

Then, hollow laughter broke out from somewhere.

“What are you talking about? The Blue doesn’t recognize private property. Even if you receive that much, in the end, after deducting the basic living expenses, you have to spit out the rest, so there’s hardly anything left…”

“The Blue will now allow private property as well.”

“?!”

What the hell?

This time, the hall buzzed greatly in a different sense.

“They’re allowing private property?”

The Cardinals also looked at the Blue family head in surprise. Is this a coordinated matter?

Then the Blue Cardinal held his forehead.

“No, I told him to do as he pleases.”

I didn’t know he would do this either.

At that reaction, the Cardinals also roughly grasped the situation. Isaac is making a big deal out of it.

The Gold Cardinal and the Red Cardinal felt strangely ominous. If it were someone else, they would say he’s making a reckless move, but if it’s Isaac, the story is different. It becomes scary for no reason.

The priests of other faiths also shouted as if dumbfounded.

“It’s a lie! For now, he’s doing that to take the newbies…”

“No… If it’s a lie, there will be a riot later.”

But in the first place, there was a problem before that.

“No matter how much money you give, the Blue has no future.”

“!”

The priests spoke skeptically.

“That’s all danger pay. Most of them die catching demons, so it’s given as the price of life.”

“The Blue can’t even use the vision, so why would they die catching demons?”

At those words, half of the apprentices became docile as if they were unnecessarily tempted.

Nevertheless, as the banquet hall was still noisy, the Gold Cardinal gestured to the protocol priest as if telling him to move on quickly.

Yes, I’ll let it slide up to here. The Blue is also desperate since they didn’t have newbies for 5 years, so I can overlook this much.

Anyway, even if he does that, after the graduation ceremony, everything can be overturned. It’s not easy to break away from the image so far all at once.

Nevertheless, the Cardinals hurriedly ordered in case the apprentices’ minds changed.

“Quickly let the graduation representative give the congratulatory speech…”

“Now, next I will show you the vision.”

…Stop it!
