NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60.1
“The faith of the White involves faith with the divine beast. Moreover, fundamentally, all sacred techniques work synergistically with colleagues. So, what is the virtue of the White?”
“It’s
The priests of the White were very satisfied with the answers from the apprentice priests.
It meant that they had learned well at the Academy.
Furthermore, the apprentices spent a short period in the Papacy, learning practical skills from the bishops.
Even though they were apprentices, they were engaged in real situations, so there was no room for carelessness.
Especially this year, with many outstanding talents, expectations were high.
Especially a Saint.
‘I wonder if we can handle even the eradication of the Demon King this year.’
The White Bishop smiled contentedly.
“Yes, that’s correct. The White relies on divine beings, which are companions. The priests themselves act as masters, giving power to the divine beasts through the sacred technique of ‘Command.’ Now, in the virtue of the White, which emphasizes harmony, what kind of existence is the divine beast and why unity is important?”
The apprentices confidently answered the question as if the answer was already determined.
“A companion to be together…”
“Ribs to be grilled together.”
“…?!”
The priests were all dumbfounded by someone’s answer.
W-What did they just say?
Ribs?
The apprentices and priests turned their eyes to the child who answered. There was Isaac, who looked like he was bored to death, Shuri, who was speechless, and other members of the Blue’s team.
The White Bishop smiled and asked again.
“…Young master Isaac, what did you just say?”
“Ah, I’m sorry. I misspoke.”
“No, that’s okay. Then…”
“It seems to be more like a sirloin rather than ribs.”
This crazy guy!!
Shuri and the Blue team silently screamed inwardly.
This crazy guy, of all places, in front of the priests of the White, saying such crazy things!
‘White.’
The faith that creates miracles with a voice.
Because of that voice, they summon divine beasts and exercise their authority, so the Whites fundamentally share their lives with divine beings.
What does that mean… In short, they are all fanatical animal lovers. They were the first to step forward in any issue related to divine beasts.
And in front of these fanatical animal lovers…
‘Ribs…? ‘Sirloin?’
It’s over.
Of course, since divine beasts typically follow people with beautiful hearts, the priests of the White were generally kind-hearted.
So, they could just let it slide if it was Isaac’s naive words… right?
Nevertheless, the Bishop smiled and asked Isaac.
“Well, you can see it that way. Since there are many divine beasts that resemble livestock.”
“…!!”
Incredible, to accept that like that!
Indeed, it’s the power of the White Faith.
While pursuing virtues along with the Blue, the Blue tends to be strict, austere, and restrained, feeling the opposite of the overly gentle ones!
Right! But still, with this, there won’t be any negatives in the evaluation! It might be redeemable!
And, Bishop, smiling, asked Isaac.
“So, what about fantastic beings like those not resembling livestock or chimeric creatures?”
“A rare leather carpet.”
“Ah!!!!”
This time, all the members of the Blue team shouted. And seeing their reaction, the Bishop, with a smile on his face, collapsed as it was.
Thud!
“Bishop!”
“Please, wake up!”
Startled senior priests rushed over, picked up the bishop, and stood him up.
The Bishop seemed to endure the ribs, but apparently, he couldn’t withstand the carpet.
Thanks to that, the priests of White collectively had no choice but to feel disconcerted.
‘What kind of kid is that?’
They had high expectations for Isaac Eshua, who had gone through the apprentice process at the Papacy. Usually, apprentices are divided between the Papacy and the Imperial Family for training.
‘Although the Papacy is better for priests, we heard that the Emperor was interested in Isaac, so we thought he might go to the Imperial Family.’
Of course, they didn’t know that the Blue family secretly inserted a name tag into the Papacy to ensure his elimination.
Anyway, there were personal expectations, but above all, the leader of the White!
‘Didn’t the White Cardinal tell to watch over him?’
There were rumors of him being a Saint, and perhaps it was true.
‘…And a kid like that came from the Blue?’
But, then again, what kind of place is the Blue!
A faith that follows the strict moral doctrines of the temple and is most thorough in character training!
In order not to be swallowed by the demonic forces, they harshly wielded the whip like the winter sea. Truly, they were not swayed by any temptation.
…Any temptation…
“Isaac, would you like some chocolate?”
“I wouldn’t refuse.”
…Any temptation!
“Isaac, if you go back to the dormitory, shall I introduce you to a pretty sister? She’s a waitress at a barbecue place and will make you fall for her.”
“Interested (in meat).”
…Any temptation!!!
“Isaac, if you go back to the dormitory, want to play cards?”
“Interested. This time, let’s bet money.”
Goodness. Well, that kind of heretic…!
“Look, isn’t this already an issue for the Blue team?”
“Yes! Greed, lust, gluttony! Trying to violate the three major prohibitions of priests all at once!”
‘…Is this not Blue’s problem already?’
‘Yes! Greed, lust, desire! He’s trying to violate all three priest taboos at once!’
By this point, the White priests shook their heads inwardly.
‘Maybe he can’t achieve the Pentagon.’
‘Well, the Eshua family asked us not to look down on the situation and make sure he gets disqualified…’
With a sigh, the priests raised their hands.
“Then, let’s start the Pentagon of
“!”
The eyes of the gathered apprentice priests changed. Especially those of Naiser Sephert and the Red priests following him underwent a transformation.
‘The Blue team will be disqualified here.’
If you fail in any of the five virtues of the Pentagon, the evaluation is disqualification. They have to return to the Academy, receive retraining, and take the test again.
There would be no more execution ceremonies for subordinates of the Skeleton King.
And what the White priests brought was none other than a ballot box.
“Our White Faith achieves miracles and accumulates records through words, the power of the voice (oral transmission). The power of the White, which spreads the authority of the deity through songs or writings, is close to invincible as long as transmission remains unbroken. But on the contrary, if the transmission is broken, everything ends.”
“Therefore, what White emphasizes is harmony and trust!”
They showed voting papers. It was a paper with two scales drawn on it.
“Our White uses
