Chapter 85: I Didn't Do Anything At All

I had no idea whether God would hear my prayer or not, but we were lucky since nothing happened after that, and the ship arrived safely in the Holy Land.

The captain of the ship thanked me again when we descended to the harbour.

Naturally, I was still wearing a hood to hide my identity.

It was the spare that I brought in the anticipation that I might end up destroying my robes again.

Please be very careful since we're right in the centre of the Melt religion. Don't let anyone else discover your identity.

I nodded upon hearing the female Holy Knight's reminder.

The Holy Land, the headquarters of the Holy Melt religion, had powerful influence in almost every country, but the country itself was in fact a small one.

For that reason, it would only take a few days by foot to arrive in the capital of this country from this port city.

In addition, many believers from various countries were visiting this place for pilgrimage.

In fact, the majority of the passengers of the ship were believers who wanted to visit this country for pilgrimage.

I already told His Highness, the Pope, that I would be bringing you along with me. The preparations might've been made.

Preparations?

Preparations to purify you.

Oh!!

This was what I had been waiting for.

Could they do it, I wondered.

What, are you doubting our capabilities?

Well, my expectations kept being betrayed until now, after all

Our country is going all out to purify you. It's definitely going to work this time Well, maybe.

Several knights approached our direction when we were having such a conversation.

The man in the middle, a tall and brawny man, greeted us.

Long time no see, Limule.

Daruel-dono.

That man seemed to be the female Holy Knight's acquaintance.

He's the vice-leader of Albert's Holy Knight Order. He's been taking care of me since I was a child.

Ah, this place is the Holy Land, huh

I unintentionally let out a voice of admiration as soon as I descended from the ship and felt the holy air in this country.

Holy Land Melt Ramit was the headquarters of the Melt religion.

I, James, boarded onto the ship, crossing the ocean for a reason. [TL: The merchant who peed his pants after firing his gun at Zion.]

It was to convert to the Melt religion.

The reason why I, who used to manage a firm in Dary City, chose this path was an encounter with that terrifying white-haired undeadthe No Life King.

Previously, I ran to the royal capital of Romana to escape from him, but he chased after me.

Fortunately Romana's Hero King drove him away, but ever since then, my life had been haunted by the No Life King.

I, who desperately prayed to God for my safety, had finally attained enlightenment.

As my faith got stronger, Iwho thought of a way to become even closer and know more about Godfinally made the decision to travel to the Holy Land.

I entrusted my company to my son and got the full support from my wife.

And yet, on the way here, the ship I was on encountered a great crisisnamely, a pirate ship.

I once again fell into an abyss of despair upon learning that the ship had already been hijacked by the pirates.

And then, the ship suddenly was taken back from the pirates for some unknown reason.

But I knew that it was God's miracle.

Even this only strengthened my faith.

I felt that I was blessed by God.

And just like that, I finally took my first step into the land of pilgrimage.

Tears spilled from my eyes the moment I took the first step into the Holy Land.

Uh? Are they the Holy Knights?

Suddenly, I noticed something else.

People who possessed extremely powerful holy power came over in the direction of the ship.

They were walking toward a suspicious man wearing a hood.

That person seemed to have been aboard the same ship as me, but

And just like that, the Holy Knights surrounded the hooded man and brought him along with them toward Melt Ram's royal capitalwhere I was about to head.

Uh maybe that hooded person is Melt religion's bigshot.
