Demon King of Phantom Thief – a Betrayed Thief Stole the Stats and Skills of the Hero Party Then Rei

Fifty-one, Marie, think about salvation.

The girl, who was sweating because of her hives, slowly opened her eyes.

The great illness of the noble daughter was instantly completely cured by the [regeneration] of the great priest.

Marie, the “Virgin” who was brought here as an escort, is also just amazed at the effect.

"Thank you! Grand Priest!

Her daughter's father, kneeling on a soft carpet, held the hand of the high priest.

"This thank you...... must!

"It's all God's calling. How do you feel about that, go to the house of God"

The Great Cleric narrowed his eyes and made a smile.

"Well, it's time to spare you, Virgin."

"Yes... Grand Priest"

Marie bowed her head deeply to the nobility and left the mansion behind.

That's the third one today.

"And then there's Count Eragin's warrant. You're a little tired."

"Good job, Grand Priest..."

Marie and the Great Cleric, facing each other, are rocked by a luxurious carriage.

"Dear Grand Priest, there is one thing I would like to say…"

Marie nodded and opened her mouth thoughtfully.

"I don't think healing one major disease is a bad thing...... don't they think to give that power to the poor?

Marie's head floats the faces of those who have sought salvation in the Glades.

Each of those expressions held Marie's words back.

"The Grand Priest is only visited by noble and rich houses. Under God, assets, classes, etc. shouldn't matter."

The high priest nodded without breaking his soft expression.

"The Virgin is right. So to save the poor, we have an asylum."

Indeed, in the Republic of Colden there is a better place to save the poor than in the Kingdom of Tristrum.

But even there, Marie has also heard of the lack of shelter and magic nurses.

Marie looked up and continued her words as she exhaled the starch of her ever accumulated heart.

"But I don't think that's enough for me. Besides, I have a lot of power myself. You can't use [regeneration] on me, but you can probably heal most of the people who are sick in the ghetto or in the sanitarium with [heels]"

Hearing Marie's words, the high priest nodded deeply again.

"The Virgin is kind... God's love must be shaped like yours"

The Great Cleric said, looking into Marie's eyes.

"Love, miracles and faith...... have you thought about why the scriptures have become so thick to speak of these three?

As Marie raised her eyes, the high priest began to speak in a gentle voice.

"Love, miracles and faith are very simple and beautiful things, but in contrast, the world is full of chaos. Chaos creates all types of human beings. In contrast, one miracle of healing is that it looks beautiful and it's one arrogance."

Marie nodded slowly as she moaned the words of the high priest.

"First there is the love of God. God's love inspires miracles, miracles inspire faith. The Virgin must know that these three are at the root of the Church's teachings."

The Grand Priest continues the conversation.

"Let's say the Virgin used all the power she could to heal all the people she could heal. That's what everyone thinks. He said that God's miracle is like a dog who comes whenever he invites his hand. A miracle turns into a dog. Who the hell would look at a tiny dog and sprout a heart that believes in God"

Marie recalls healing people all over town before this.

Sure, if that thing goes on every day, people will take it for granted.

The Great Cleric didn't say anything wrong.

"We, given some of God's help, are obliged to keep miracles as miracles. That's the same thing when dealing with foreign countries. It's going to be a little political..."

The Grand Priest gave a sad grin.

"The Republic of Colden is a landlocked country with no ports. And it borders numerous countries. The Duchy of Laden, the Kingdom of Tristrum, Astran...... you were a republic now. And the Demon King's Realm. This country is in a very dangerous balance of power"

The Demon King's Realm, I heard, brought Keith's face to Marie's head.

"In it, we need enormous funds if the Republic of Colden is to remain independent. But this country, which also has a small national territory and does not benefit from resources, does not have the financial resources to produce it. It is the Church of the Stars that is responsible for it."

The high priest put his fingers together on his knees.

"First there is the love of God, love produces miracles, miracles produce faith. And people dedicate their faith to the church because of their donations. A donated church will support this country. It means that God's love keeps peace in this country. May I?"

Get yourself out of here, the high priest said.

"God is watching over all the people who live in this world. We must learn from God. Surely saving the human being in front of you could be an easy thing. But what is really needed is to bring widespread peace and security to the world. Isn't this what we can call true faith, true salvation"

For a while, silence flowed in the carriage.

The sound of the wheels tapping on the cobblestone and the sound of the springs ringing only echoes.

Marie stared at her own toes and told her to whine.

"That's... that's what happens when I heal people to mischief and a greater tragedy visits this country"

Marie recalls the faces of those who seek help.

Saving them - wreaking havoc on this country.

Given that, Marie felt like the back of her chest could be tightened.

"It's sad, but the world is full of chaos. Think of the thickness of the Bible. We must stand around in chaos with a clean heart… it seems time to get there"

The Great Cleric looked out the window.

"Virgin."

Looking at the flowing township, the Grand Priest said.

"It's quite a thing to worry about. But don't let people see you like that."

"Yes...... I understand"

As a Virgin, Marie also knows very well that you must look unmistakable.

But next time I thought I had to avoid sick people, I felt heavy.

(Am I too young...)

Marie ponders the words of the high priest repeatedly in her heart.

(The Grand Priest sees peace in the Republic of Colden as a whole. But God is watching...)

Isn't that everything in the world - Marie thinks.

Not just the Republic of Colden, but all those living in the nations around it, in the demonic kingdom that has been regarded as a symbol of evil.

Keith the Demon King and his companions, the Subhuman, saved Marie and the others in the war.

(Sure, I probably didn't see the world much, sticking to the people in front of me. But if it brings widespread peace and security to the world, even if it's caught on the border...)

The Grand Cleric stared at Marie's face as she contemplated.

"Hmm..."

In front of a large mansion, the carriage stopped.

The Grand Cleric takes my hand, and Marie gets off the carriage.

"Come on, let's come, Virgin. To save one's life, and therefore this world."

The Grand Cleric made a crease in his eyeballs and smiled.

Marie - she just nodded small.

………………

It was early in the morning when I went out with the Grand Cleric, but when I returned to the monastery it was already close to evening.

As Marie was sinking into thingies in her room, the door to the room was knocked.
