NOVEL NEXT Chapter 82.1
Isaac Eshua.
Well, he thought he was a strange guy. Yes, he did think so. He thought, but…
“Isaac’s team picked Reverse Knights?”
I didn’t know he had a hobby of suicide.
Cardinal Berit laughed at the unexpected news.
This time, Cardinal Berit was the one who assigned the mission location.
And he gave Isaac an impossible task? Well, whether Isaac dies or the Blue dies, or whatever happens, it will be beneficial.
Of course, there were variables.
‘Paladin Contract.’
And the case where Isaac chose the first group, the imperial knights.
‘Like that cunning Crown Prince.’
As soon as the Gold Pentagon started, the Crown Prince sneaked the imperial knights into the paladin group.
‘Just like his father, or rather, he seems worse than his father.’
He was undoubtedly inserted for the purpose of surveillance or helping Isaac, who seemed to be watched.
And the first group belonging to the imperial knights?
It wasn’t just the imperial knights. They had a chance of surviving even in the Pentagon.
In other words, since Isaac wasn’t a fool, he would choose the imperial knights.
But…
‘Surely he won’t pick those untamed foals.’
Reverse knights.
They were famous guys. Of course, their abilities were superior to the imperial knights, but everyone in there were dissident believers who hated priests.
That’s why they couldn’t settle anywhere in the Holy Empire and were only used as adventurers, mocked by others.
Even the Gold priests who heard the news laughed at them.
“That’s a land where magicians are fighting. Escort is more important than anything else, and yet he picks those guys who have no faith in gods…”
“Well, the Blue people aren’t fools either. Did he just pick them without thinking?”
“Isaac Eshua took those reverse knights to tame them, you say?”
“Well, it’s not for nothing that the Pope didn’t kick them out. Even the Pope once tried to tame them, but failed. If you look at ability alone, they are the best…”
At those words, several priests narrowed their eyes.
“What if he can really tame them?”
They swallowed. If he really tames them, Isaac will gain a powerful weapon.
However, Cardinal Berit cut off the conversation while sipping on a glass of wine.
“He’s just a feather from the Saintess’s family.”
“!”
“And those guys can’t like priests. If he tames them, he’ll truly be a Saint.”
“…!”
Do you think an apprentice can embrace those who even the Pope couldn’t embrace in the first place?
Cardinal Berit recalled the Pope’s words.
-Watch him closely.
The target was none other than Isaac.
And the meaning was ‘beware.’
Of course, whether this boundary was limited to the problem of the Berit family or applied to the entire Holy Empire was unknown.
Anyway, it was rare to speak like that regardless of what he felt for that child.
‘I’ll handle it.’
Well, the best thing would be for him to come to the Berit family and summon the Highest God for him, but it would be better for the world if he didn’t appear at all unless he became their own.
From the beginning, the existence of the Sainess’s family was annoying. There should only be one absolute existence close to God, which is the Pope.
“Anyway, those kids can’t even catch the reverse knights, let alone the demons 14 years ago.”
Well, the problem is that Kina keeps sticking with the Blue when they try to get rid of him…
“So what about Kina? He surely knows if he didn’t come home by today, he would be punished?”
It wouldn’t be good for Kina to stick with the Blue. However, the servants just rolled their eyes.
“That’s, he said ‘Don’t come looking for me because I’d rather be punished’…”
Crash.
The sound of Cardinal Berit’s teacup cracking was heard.
…Is this guy for real?
* * *
And the mental breakdown was the same in the Blue residence.
“Isaac, damn it!”
Of all the choices, he had to choose reverse knights!
Lilai slammed his head against the wall upon hearing the news from the banquet hall. Although he couldn’t interfere in choosing the paladins because it was an exam, he desperately gave hints!
For example, carrying two cups all the time, giving two snacks, or repeatedly making tea!
But still…!
‘To choose those guys…!!’
Lilai, being a paladin, knew better than anyone about his colleagues.
Reverse knights? Those guys genuinely detested priests, not just disliking them.
Why?
Well, it’s obvious!
Because they are demons’ descendants!!
‘Well, only a few people in the Papacy know this fact…’
Still, not banishing them is because his ‘origin’ is exceptionally excellent. If they are discarded in Hella, it would mean a gain for other countries.
Anyway, he tried to get close to them, but he was ignored because of being from a priest family!
‘They can’t possibly like pure-blooded Isaac…!’
No, it’s better if it ends with not liking him!
‘They’re chasing after some demon.’
But are they going on a mission to find demons on their own?
‘Darn it! It’s fortunate they’re not using children as bait to track down demons…!’
Seemingly sharing the same sentiment, the paladins were even more agitated than before.
Is the Blue really a pervert who enjoys death, or is Lilai’s hobby to push his nephews into danger? Those were the kind of glances they exchanged.
‘Just chasing demons fourteen years ago was a mission to die for…’
‘They’re just kids; they’ll die.’
As if to confirm the thoughts of everyone, a familiar face appeared in the banquet hall.
“Ah!”
“The Blue Cardinal!”
The Blue family head, Elai, appeared in front of Isaac.
“Grand… father?”
Shuri swallowed nervously at the angry expression of the Blue Cardinal. Perhaps this time, it couldn’t be just overlooked.
“Isaac, follow me.”
“!”
The Blue team raised both hands as if begging for mercy.
“Ah, light… it’s light! The head of the Blue family came…!”
“Please, save us…!”
“Ah, grandpa, let it go. Release me and talk.”
Isaac grumbled as he was dragged away by the Blue Cardinal.
Eventually, the head of the Blue family, who put Isaac in a room, suddenly opened his mouth.
“What were you thinking?”
“!”
It was an extremely angry voice. Isaac’s skin tingled at the fierce energy.
“You should know that this mission is no joke.”
Yeah, kid. I’m not joking either.
“Or are you just too young to understand the meaning?”
“No. I understood it properly. The Gold assigned this mission with the purpose of eliminating us.”
The family head’s eyes became even more grim.
“But why? You have been winning and winning in the faith test, but have you become proud because of it? Or is it because you want to become a saint, attracting attention in every way?”
Oh, he’s quite angry. He didn’t get this angry even when he destroyed the mansion and caused a fuss.
But, well, it was worth it.
According to his own words, more than twenty noble disciples were sent to their deaths. As the head of the Blue, he might get angry, especially when it seemed like Isaac accepted it thoughtlessly.
Anyway, since he didn’t want to be out of favor with his grandfather, he should start with a nice word.
