82 Padilla became a saint.

Fadhilah's hands hear a faint blue glow. She doesn't know what to do with the glory given to her, and turns to everyone in the Gold Chamber with an unbelievable look.

“Go, Gauss made me his master, didn't he? ”

I smiled gladly, and the High Priestess of Shura and the Old Man was so moved that I didn't know what to do.

Shura replies confidently with experience.

And I said, "Yeah, she's the goddess of Padilla. ”

Fadilla is moved, and drops her hand. The wonders of Euroa, who worshipped her ancestors for generations, chose her. Now all the people of Kara will gaze upon the Queen, and the kingdom, like the sand, will unite before this Gauss and the cause of God's glory.

Padilla jumped in and hugged me.

“Thanks to you, all of you. If you hadn't brought me here before Divinum, nothing would have happened today. ”

“What. I just received it because it was my destiny to receive it. Okay, let's get out of here. We must announce the birth of the Holy Girl to all. ”

“Yes.”

We paused the sacred hall ceremony and went outside.

The elderly High Priestess first went out and preached the birth of the Holy Lady of Water to all who gathered in her place.

“Queen Kara has ascended to the throne of water! ”

All of a sudden, as everyone's rumbling, Fadilla comes out with Gauss, kneeling down on one knee and paying his respects. Usually, they belong to forces of darkness, but there are no exceptions.

If they did not respect the Second Coming of the Holy Lady, they were indeed faithless and treacherous to God.

However, the reverence was somewhat low compared to last year when Ignes came out with Shaia. There were once or twice the birth of the saint girl. About five people popped out, and the medicine fell.

As Padilla stands still in a tense posture, I push her back.

“Throw me a message. You got something for me? ”

“Yes, yes. ”

Soon after, Padilla steps forward and starts throwing messages at everyone. There were words of joy, but most of them were speeches of peace. It seemed that the war with Robos was hard.

As I quietly leaned back against the wall of the Shrine Hall and listened to Padilla's speech, an elven woman approaches here. It was Princess Ignes.

“What are you doing here in the middle of the night, a man of the light? ”

In my words, Princess Ignes opened her eyes.

“Just in case. ”

“Huh?"

“I'm starting to think Kara's queen might be the last saint. But then again, ”

“So what do you want to say? ”

Princess Ignes narrows her eyes in my bold voice.

“Isn't that a little ironic for a coincidence? ”

“It seems ironic because it's a coincidence. ”

“Isn't that because you have to? ”

“Why would you think that? ”

“Your lovers have both become saints. ”

“It's inevitable to say that. All the beautiful women in the world are my lovers. All the saint girls are beautiful. Hehehe.”

Princess Ignes continued to lead the conversation without getting caught up in my jokes.

“No, it's three. ”

“Three?”

“Princess Sierra, the fiancée. ”

I sighed deeply.

“What's wrong with you? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Someone made me a married man yesterday. And now he's making his fiancée. Is this your wedding scam? Why can't you just stick a girl in my life? ”

“Yes?”

In the right posture, I plucked the dust from my collar.

“Don't be ridiculous. Just go. I'm busy. I have to escort him to the Palace of Pope Padilla. One of the Catholic girls went missing yesterday afternoon, so we're gonna have to call security. ”

Princess Ignes yells at me with a serious voice as I try to leave.

“Hey, let me ask you one more question. ”

“I told you to go. ”

“Just answer this question and I'll go. ”

I turn my back on Princess Ignes.

“Tell me.”

“Why? You don't think you can save the world from destruction? ”

“Destruction. What destruction? ”

“Haven't you heard? that the Valkyrie, Savannah, has led to the end of time. ”

“Yeah, I heard. But?”

“Tell me where she is. You know where she is. ”

Ridiculous. I just shake my head. He seemed to think he was a fortuneteller for me. Well, I've got a tail, but it's not even Savannah.

“I don't know about that. Let me ask you one question. Is it true that the book of times has been written in the name of the destruction of Savannah? ”

Princess Ignes nods as if it were natural.

“Yes, that's what the Valkyries say. ”

“Oh, the words of their sisters, of course, are the truth? ”

“Yes. The Valkyries always tell the truth. ”

I laughed bloody.

“Not that I can see. He cheats. He lies. I saw it with my own eyes. ”

“Yes?”

“You, if you don't want to get your ass handed to you later, pull yourself together. We're already cheating on a few things. So always be suspicious and look around. If you don't want to be an idiot later. Well done.That's all I can tell you. ”

I left Princess Ignes with a blank face. I literally have nothing more to say. There are many of them, of course, but they won't believe me, so my mouth hurts when I try.

* * *

The schedule was almost over before Divinum.

The festival was still going on, but the sacred hall ceremony was over and there was no reason to stay.

Of course, the Church still wanted Padilla to participate in the path of persecution, but ignored it. First of all, it was useless, and it didn't make sense for the queen of one country to attend an event that might last almost a year.

“Ah, I'm finally going back. ”

Armida was greatly relieved that she was returning to Kara. After the Urubos incident, my sister spent time bleeding.

I said, packing my bags.

“Sure. My house is the best, isn't it? ”

“That's not what I meant! ”

“Then what is it? ”

Armida's sister snorts.

“You don't know? Do you have any idea how much I've suffered for your brother? ”

“But it went well, didn't it? ”

“Did it go well? I was shot by Nemisonna. He didn't answer. ”

“Really? What about Katrina? ”

“The reporting seat itself is not open. I got a call from my friends, and they're embarrassed about Nemisona and they're not coming out of their homes. ”

“No, why? ”

“He's lost face. You were humiliated by your human brother, and your stubborn Uruvos were destroyed, and you mocked him for sending another teenager? ”

I had a taste for it.

“When did I ever make fun of you? You said if I let you go, you'd take off your mask in return. That's a pretty good shot. ”

“Don't you want your brother to take off his mask like that? ”

“I was just distracted. What, you got nothing to hide from us? I can see you're measuring each of us behind our backs. Where are you playing tricks? ”

Armida's eyes widen.

“Heads up? Who?”

“There is such a thing. You just have to trust me and pretend like you don't know. I'll get you back to your homeland in one piece. ”

Then you hear a knock. I quickly closed my mouth and opened the door.

Shura stands outside the door.

“Master, Sir Berg is outside the hotel door. ”

“Lord Burg now? ”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

I put a faint smile on my mouth and went outside. There's only one thing Lord Burg has to do with me now.

Recently, the Central Church has been experiencing great difficulties in other matters than the Urubos incident.

“Hey, what's going on, Ser Burg? ”

“Backbone. Do you have a minute? ”

“Why?”

“I have a place to go together. ”

“What do you want? ”

“I know the mask. Follow me.”

Now that Ser Burg is in a hurry, I follow.

The venue he guided was a lavish reception room within the headquarters. Inside, there were three colorful elderly men, who were listening to the car and having a serious conversation.

“I brought a backpack. ”

An old man pointed to the chair in front of him.

“Come and sit down, both of you. ”

“Yes.”

I sat down in front of them and greeted them.

These elders were the archbishops of each force, Grancer, Mernan and Sarco.

I smiled a little. All the leaders of the Central Church gathered. The Pope was the only one who ruled, but they were actually the ones who moved the church.

Grander, the Archbishop of Light, lowers his cup of tea and opens his mouth to me.

“Back to back. A series of incidents at the root, the Central Church is facing a great crisis. People are getting restless, and the Holy Land of non-alcoholic priests is not just about me. ”

“I know the drill. Grandparents will have to suffer a little. ”

Mernan, the Archbishop of Darkness, looked at me closely.

“And now Ser Burg has told us an interesting story. ”

“What?”

“The inside of this case and the solution you talked about. ”

“Oh, pouring water on it to calm the public mind, to catch a group that's not warm in the meantime? ”

“Yes.”

I folded my arms.

“But grandparents. You do realize that things have gotten bigger, right? A saint girl went missing a while ago. ”

“At least I did. ”

“This has caused a big setback. ”

“Why? ”

“I need to find the Lady Alieta, but I can't find her. I was working on it upstairs. ”

The three old men sighed at the same time. That's right. If we don't get the Holy Lady back, we're screwed. We can't.

In this situation, solving the case was not the case. The Revolutionary priests will continue to question the missing saint.

“But were they taken upstairs for sure? ”

“Yes.”

“On what grounds?"

“All I can tell you is that in the heavenly city of Kronos, I know exactly where the seventh century was. However, no matter how many grandparents ask us, we won't hear the cool answer. That's what they did. And you won't be able to tell anyone about it. As soon as the Lady Alieta is informed of her affairs, she'll be very upset upstairs.

because. ”

The three old men sighed at the same time. You must find Lady Alieta somehow to calm things down, but she says you can't find her. It was a complete disaster.

He asked me if Archbishop Grander was happy.

“Is there no way to convince them? ”

“Can't you see I'm not talking? The fact that you know that could leave you strangled. Then what are you trying to convince me of? It's like advertising for me to get busted. Just figure it out another way. ”

“How? ”

“Who's the troublemaker? Reformers, right?"

“Yes.”

“And who are those revolutionary priests? Most of them are non-alcoholic, excluded from the Central Church, right? ”

Archbishop Grander gripped his head.

“That's right."

“That's why I've always been frustrated. I've been shunned from power, so I need you to sneak up on me and stab me in the face. It'll be a lot quieter. ”

Everyone clawed their hands together.

“I can't do that. If someone stubborn raises that bribe and comes in, we're in even more trouble. ”

“Oh, my gosh. Who asked you to stab me so lightly? If you stab me, I'll stab you pretty good. ”

“How? ”

“It's simple. Pour in new, massive loads and stab them at the same time. ”

I took a big map out of the subspace pocket. When I opened the map, Archbishop Mernan asked.

“Where the hell is this island? ”

“Jores Island. This is a region we've been developing in Kara recently, and we don't have enough money and manpower. This place is big enough to build a country. ”

“So?”

“That means that the Church is joining forces to increase the development scale. Then there will be a lot of places in the Central Church with that construction, and if you sit the Reformist priests there, they will be inspired and they will take bribes for themselves. I don't have time to complain because hardcore people are busy. But what's the point?

It's also a stuffing effect. ”

Archbishop Mernan's eyes tremble.

“Are you trying to focus the world's attention on this side? ”

“Bingo. Right. ”

“But does it seem to work? ”

“As long as we have a clear scale of construction. This island, it's a land of gold. because it's a core region that will dominate the Prosia continent, or the global economy. ”

“To what degree? ”

“It has the same meaning as Kara now. Every trade commodity in the world going to Prosia will pass through here. No, it's a bigger land. There will be trade routes using large vessels, trading capacity will be several hundred times higher than today. It's kind of revolutionary. Maybe they'll turn their eyes upside down. ”

I expanded the world map and was oblique between the port and the port. There really is a sea-trade connection. The archbishops twisted their jaws as if they were legitimate.

“I suppose.”

“I'll talk to Padilla and set this place free in the free world. Then the Cult will support the funding, labor, and armed forces to repel the magic. ”

I briefly stated my development plan. He also explained the island's long barriers and detailed development directions for roads, warehouses, forts, railroads and residential facilities, and entertainment facilities, tourist complexes and commercial and industrial complexes.

“What are the benefits of our Church? ”

“We're still sending rovers, so trade routes will be almost complete in 10 years. I'll hand over a substantial portion of the world's trade rights to the Cult then. But the real benefit is something else. You know that, right?"

The Archbishop smiled.

“I know. ”

“And you have to be good at promoting. That's a good lie. Tell him you found gold or silver veins. Honestly, don't you think there's anything like that in this vast land? This land is reserved for humanity by God. Since there are two holy girls involved in this construction, it's a good cause, right? ”

The archbishops gripped their heads to see if the plans to settle were drawn in their heads. When the island of Jores is developed, human history changes. Once the seasoning was good, the attention of the three could only be focused here.

After development, Jores Island will become the center of global trade and a land of gold where human desires will be taken over.

“Don't worry. We know that much. ”

You'll do well without me worrying. It's my specialty.

“And by the way, broker rain is not a bribe. You don't have to poke me so confused. Pussy, you know? ”

“I see. I'll take that as a reference. ”

“Okay, fine. ”

I put on a surprise smile. Now that we have developed the island of Jores with someone else's money, we can fund the construction of the Great Desert Railroad.

Here we have a definite means to defend the island of Jores from Bastein. If you don't decide to go to war with the Worldwide Cult, you'll never attack Jores Island.

Of course, it is a shame that you have to give away your right to trade 10 years later, but it is not my concern whether you trade in the Cult or not. Honestly, I'd appreciate it if you'd come to trade in the meantime.
