Chapter 56.2
-What do you mean, evil god?
-It means that the god Isaac chose is not a typical god.
-What?!
Eli said, while looking at the bowl of holy water, that gave him more trouble than he expected:
-It seems that the sentence of a god that has never appeared before has come out.
-…Do you know what kind of sentence it is?
-Only the Pope and the Cardinal can know that. However, after seeing the sentence picked by Isaac, the Pope tried to get rid of Isaac.
-What? Pope?!
-Yes. Unless an evil spirit comes out, it’s an attitude that should never come out.
Lilai positively responded, but Goel narrowed his eyes as if he had just chewed on something unpleasant.
-…If that’s the case, maybe it’s just a sentence from a god of Gold Faith.
-A god of Gold?
-Yes. Those people abhor impurities and mixtures to the point of obsession. They wouldn’t tolerate someone from another family, let alone that Isaac picked a deity from the faith of Gold. Anyway, the god of Gold is contracted by the Pope and the Cardinal… With such a reaction, it seems he picked a deity only contracted by the direct descendants of the Faith of Gold.
However, the look in the eyes of the head of the family behind him was different.
-A sentence that has never come out before?
-Even in the Golden Faith, there are still many deities that haven’t been summoned. Starting from the highest god to the deities recently incorporated…
At that, the gaze of the family head twinkled and changed.
-Do you think that child can pick a proper god?
-…Uh.
-Of course, in a rational sense, it’s correct to think that a god of Gold has appeared. But it’s him.
-…Uh.
For some reason, Goel had a very understanding expression.
Certainly, looking at it from a priest’s perspective, especially from an outsider who only talked about the stories of great deities, it wouldn’t be the child who tore up the scriptures and threw them away.
Such a child picking a god, especially from the conservative and exclusive Faith of Gold…?
It’s unimaginable.
It’s more likely that an evil spirit came out.
-If that’s the case, Goel, contact the Papacy secretly and investigate what came out. What deity it is.
-Yes? But why me…?
-Good holy relics have just come in. If you succeed, I’ll give you something good.
Half of his bloodline was from the Papacy, so Goel understood. However, apart from that, there was something worrisome.
-After the apprenticeship period ends, all priests choose their own path.
-It’s okay. As long as it’s not some big problem with an exceptional piece of trash…
Damn it. He was thinking within reasonable standards, and then he got hit in the back of the head during the test.
And if the results of the faith test are as they say…
‘Dark Priest.’
‘He’s a Dark Priest.’
‘Surely Dark Priest.’
All three of Eshua’s expressions were enough to make one sick.
Above all, the Saintess’s family couldn’t help but be greatly agitated by the term Dark Priest, or more precisely, the word corruption.
And where does it end?
‘Father said that.’
After the incident at the banquet, it seemed like the other inquisitors were trying to take Isaac away.
Yeah, whatever.
Just looking at the people who flocked during the party after the banquet was enough. They were Eshua guys who had never received public attention.
-After all, he’s the one to eliminate the Skeleton King! Please! Let us meet our child just once!
-We’ll give you as much money as you want. Just a good lesson for our child!!!
Yeah, sure! Engagement, tutoring, whatever!
But the content of it…
The expressions of the three Eshuas were damn rotten.
“Uncles? Why are you like that?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
It’s nothing, damn Dark Priest…!
Although Goel doesn’t particularly care whether Isaac is pretty or not, the issue of a Dark Priest is quite serious.
In the Holy Empire, Dark Priests are close to betrayers, so not only are they subject to tracking and execution, but the family that produced the Dark Priest is dragged away under the lynch law.
In other words-
‘The destruction of the family!!’
Of course, Lilai might be concerned about his nephew’s corruption, but what is Shuri’s crime?
“Instead of that, uncles. There’s something bothering me.”
Upon that remark, Shuri, who hadn’t heard it all, interjected.
“You’ve grown up. Why is your tongue still so short?”
Ah.
The uncles looked at Isaac with confusion, but Isaac responded nonchalantly.
“It seems like rapid growth has some side effects.”
“…Weren’t you fine at the ordination ceremony?”
“If I don’t concentrate, I get dizzy. Especially if it’s not something I care about. Well, don’t worry too much about it.”
Ah, so that means I’m not the one to care about.
Shuri, whose eyebrows twitched as if he were amazed, seemed astonished, but Isaac paid no attention.
What was important to him was starting now. Wasn’t this actually the reason he received the ordination?
“When can I participate in the
At that question, Lilai’s expression turned very surprised.
“Did you have an interest in the Offering Ritual?!”
“Yes. Especially concerning the execution of the Skeleton King’s subordinates.”
Alright! Got it!
A non-existent faith has emerged!
Lilai covered his mouth as if he were pleased, but Isaac just chuckled coldly.
‘What? Are the subordinates of the gods coming to this Offering Ritual?’
The subordinates of the gods.
That is, beings like lower deities or angels. And these guys are strictly intermediaries between gods and humans, but due to their high noses, they rarely appear in the human world unless it’s unavoidable.
But to come out just because one demon is executed?
‘Damn bastards. How dare they come to execute my subordinates?’
Are they really that excited? Huh?
Isaac’s eyes glowed ominously.
‘Well, it’s a good thing. While raising my strength, I can properly test how far that power has grown.’
But Lilai, who didn’t know that, cautiously said:
“It seems you want to execute the Skeleton King’s subordinates, but to handle that, you need to be in the team with the highest grades among the apprentice priests.”
“A team?”
“Yes. You’ll know soon, but apprentice priests move in teams and are evaluated.”
Ah, he didn’t really understand, but did that mean that the shittiest group project ever is about to begin?
“And to get high ratings, the abilities of the team members must be good. Above all, one of the fourteen demons is too much for you.”
Lilai, who said that, laughed unpleasantly.
‘Well, I did receive a request for Isaac to handle the execution ceremony of the demon, but it’s too early.’
But Isaac, who didn’t know that, perked up his ears.
Anyway, he had to get good grades?
Ah, but it was a bit of a headache when it came to team battles, especially if it was a team project.
Isaac sighed as if he couldn’t help it.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
‘I have no choice but to go and kill or save another team.’
