Episode 092 The protagonist of the Oracle

Every time the high priest opened his mouth, a tremendous sense of intimidation filled the room.

“As light casts shadows, and shadows can be destroyed by light, you will drive them away with the most sacred light of the world.”

After saying that, the high priest sat down in his chair.

The air in the room also returned to normal.

“High Priestess, are you okay?”

When Onin approached, the high priest raised his hand to block it and looked at us.

“I am fine. I just had an oracle, have you all read the contents?”

I don’t know the exact meaning, but it wasn’t that long so I could memorize it.

“Yeah, I know.”

After hearing my answer, the high priest nodded.

“Soon I will send an intermediary to interpret the meaning. In the meantime, enjoy the festivities. You have to empty your head once in a while.”

Soon, the high priest who smiled benignly left the room with Onin.

Penzarik came to me and talked.

“Did you say Ilya, are you going to move together? Can you trust them?”

“You can believe it. So I brought them. They, like Penzaric, are linked to me.”

“Really?”

“Yes, and I will move with them, so don’t worry too much.”

Even though it is an intelligence organization, it will not be able to investigate that many people at the same time.

That’s why we thought to help too.

“Oh, and can you look at this?”

Since I happened to meet Penzarik, I showed Douglas’s [firm will] just in case.

“What, what?! Why is that big guy’s shield out here?”

“As expected, Master knows. As you can see, it turned out like this. Can you fix it?”

In the fight with Cass, the shield was cracked to the point where it was surprising that it didn’t break.

“How on earth do you use it to make this sturdy shield look like this?”

“So can you fix it?”

“I can fix it. But not here.”

“why?”

“When I made this shield, I gave the magic, but the best blacksmith in the empire added strength to the materials and skills.”

“Where is the blacksmith?”

At my question, Penzaric sighed heavily and said,

“By now, the capital city must be diligently admonishing them.”

“A discipline?”

“Because I am in charge of educating the palace blacksmiths.”

So, in the end, to fix this shield, he had to go to the palace.

“I won’t be able to use it for a while.”

I removed the sword from the shield and kept it separately.

“I don’t think I heard the answer as to why that shield is here.”

“I’ll talk about that as we leave.”

As I left the room with Penzarik, I talked about copying equipment.

“her! So, are you saying that what you have now is a fake?”

“It’s real, not fake. That was confirmed by Douglas.”

“You’re getting full of energy, then my wand can be copied.”

“There are plenty of possibilities.”

However, since it’s a random drawing, it’s a problem that you don’t know when it will appear.

When we came out, Onin guided us.

He said that the high priest went into the prayer room because of a sudden oracle.

“In the first place, does the oracle come so suddenly?”

As far as I know, the oracle is to ask a question to the god after a ritual or a ceremony corresponding to it and listen to the answer.

“In the first place, the oracle itself means the word of God. There are times when he speaks first.”

It’s not exactly wrong, but it took one thing.

Who is the ‘sacred light’ that will drive away the shadows with me?

From noble mtl dot com

No, in the first place, if I was talking about my ability, not someone else, it could have been the element of light.

“Here you are.”

As we were trying to interpret the oracle, a new priest approached us.

It was a bald middle-aged man in a white background with orange stripes.

“I came at the request of the high priest. It’s lowly, but it’s called Ahfen, who serves as the mediator of the gods.”

We sat in one of the temples with Afen and talked.

After hearing me talk about the oracle, Ahfen stroked his chin and said,

“It’s not that difficult an oracle. The shadow will be an issue about the demons that are currently happening, and the light that illuminates it must, of course, be our solar-sama’s sun.”

“But I don’t have divine power?”

“Yes, so why didn’t you attach a colleague?”

Without realizing it, my eyes went to Minyoung.

Minyoung was also quite surprised.

“Are you saying I am that light?”

At Minyoung’s question, Ahfen nodded.

“You can feel the pure divine power. Sister, are you a priest?”

“No, I can only use divine power with my attributes.”

At Min-young’s words, Afen closed her eyes for a moment and thought.

“Could you tell me a story when you get a characteristic?”

Minyoung and I got the characteristics on the same day.

So I remembered the time when Minyoung got the trait.

Minyoung looked at me for a while and recalled that time.

“It was a clear day. I was running away with Seojun. Monsters poured out of the gate. But all of a sudden, my mind went blank.”

After a brief pause there, Min-young closed her eyes and continued talking.

“I lost my mind for a while, so I can’t remember it vividly. Then, I heard a voice. But, I don’t remember what I said because I was distracted. Then when I opened my eyes, I had this ability.”

Then, Min-young opened her eyes and gave Afen a blessing.

“This!”

After receiving Min-yeong’s blessing, Afen was startled and ran somewhere.

Everyone wonders what’s going on, but Afen is back.

In his hand was a sheet of parchment.

“Did you say they were from another world?”

We nodded our heads at Afen’s question.

“There was one more trust.”

Then he read the words written on the parchment.

“There shouldn’t be, but you will get help from those who should. The one you seek is one of them.”

“What question did you ask?”

At my question, Afen looked around us and said.

“We kept looking for a ‘saint’.”

“Now, does that mean Minyoung is a saint?”

At Suyeon’s question, who jumped up, Ahfen shook her hand.

“I can’t be sure yet. However, no matter how you think about the contents of the oracle, it points to you.”

“One of Minyoung’s older sisters, Lee Myeong, was a ‘saint,’ but is that a real saint?”

As Hyuk said, Min-young had the nickname ‘saint’ in our world.

“Then, if Minyoung is really a saint, what will happen?”

In response to my question, Afen alternately looked at the two oracles and said,

“If so, the sacred light of the oracle we heard today is the saint we are looking for, and it must be that Sister Minyoung is here. That is, Sister Min-young will be playing a very important role. And more than that… … .”

Afen hesitated and looked at us.

“It’s okay, please talk to me. Shouldn’t I be able to deal with it only if I knew?”

At Minyoung’s words, Ahfen nodded and continued.

“All right. The saintess here has a lot of influence just by her existence. From political to public sentiment. That’s why, when it’s announced that you’re a saint, you’ll be attending a lot of official events.”

“That will not work.”

I stopped Afen’s words and said firmly.

That meant that Min-young would be stranded here.

If that happens, the contents of the trust will also be distorted.

“If the saintess is Min-young, and the most sacred light is the word for the saint, then Min-young must fight alongside us.”

At my words, Affen also nodded.

“That’s why I’m hesitant. As stated in the oracle, you are not supposed to be here, but you are indispensable beings.”

An ‘existence that shouldn’t exist’ that the oracle says. There was no other way to explain it except to us.

That explains why the system recognized us as a virus.

Already, the history of our world has changed as Gilliant and I have returned.

But now, because of us, the history of this place is about to change.

“Is there anything that could have been misinterpreted?”

When I asked cautiously, Ahfen shook his head.

“It can’t be. It has already been 10 years since this trust came down. In the meantime, the whole continent has been searched like this. However, there was not a single person on the level of a saint.”

“Still, shouldn’t we drive out the demons first?”

“Yes. It should be. I think we should talk about this with the high priest.”

After saying that, Afen headed to the prayer room where the High Priestess was with Onin.

“Well, things are getting complicated.”

“What do you mean the saintess has political influence?”

I asked Penzaric, who was sighing next to me.

“Since ancient times, saints have had the image of saviors. A saint is a gift from God, and a representative of God. Even if you bring such a symbolic reason, it has a lot of political use value. There were many cases in which saints of successive generations were sacrificed because of that image.”

“It means you are a savior.”

“Right, isn’t the word savior really funny? Could there be a better word for human frailty than this?”

saver. redeemer.

Humans have committed all kinds of sins and are looking for someone who will pay them for them.

That is the share of those who are called saints or saints.

From noble mtl dot com

Not self-reliance, will.

The desire to take advantage of someone.

The weakness of relying on God.

Even though they know that true faith is not like that, humans expect a saint to bear the sins on their behalf.

Didn’t that greed make the crucified Jesus the son of God?

“So, that means that the emperor will be interested in it after all.”

“Yes, there is no card like this to capture public sentiment.”

“What if we go fast? Master, how long will the gate to the underworld take?”

“Since we have a catalyst called the Soul Stone, let’s try it as soon as possible. I don’t have time to be like this.”

Penzarik got up from his seat and walked quickly toward the entrance.

Penzarik looked back at us before leaving the entrance.

“Call me when you get the hook, and I’ll go there.”

“all right.”

After Penzarik left, the rest of us exchanged opinions.

“Seo Jun-ah, wouldn’t it be better to find Ilia and Killian and leave first?”

I shook my head at Soo-yeon’s opinion.

Even if Penzaric managed to solve the wanted order in the capital somehow, the attack of the system remained.

However, if the church was made enemies, the trip would be much more difficult.

“I have to make a decision here somehow. It’s good to think about it later.”

In addition, the power of the priests is on the opposite side of the demons.

In the end, they were beings that had to fight together.

“Suyeon and Hyuk find Killian and Ilia and get ready to leave right away.”

“What about my brother and Minyoung noona?”

“I’ll stay by Minyoung’s side and see the situation. Are you fine?”

When I asked Minyoung, he nodded and said,

“Yeah, I think that’s the best we can do right now.”

“Okay, then see you at the north gate of the castle.”

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

After Soo-yeon took Hyuk and headed for the north gate, Ah-Hen and Onin returned.

“Where have you all gone?”

“Everyone has a job to do.”

When I answered with a smile, Ahfen also smiled and waved at us.

“I think you should meet the High Priestess directly. Come here.”

“I’ve been away for a long time, so I think I’ll have to go back to the Holy Knights now.”

“I will contact you with my abilities soon.”

“Yes, I will be waiting for you.”

After Onin left, Min-young, I, and Afen headed to the high priest’s office.

“Sit down.”

When he sat down in the seat recommended by the high priest, he looked at Min-young and said.

“I heard about it from Priest Afen. May I confirm whether or not you are the saint of the oracle?”

“Is there any way to check?”

In response to Min-young’s question, the high priest asked for understanding.

“Yes, can I take a look at Sister Minyoung for a moment?”

“all right. Please check.”

“Then, excuse me.”

After Min-young gave permission, the High Priestess stretched out both hands toward Min-young and closed her eyes and went into prayer.

Divine power flowed from the high priest’s hand and wrapped around Min-young.

Min-young held my hand tightly as if she was nervous.

I wrapped my other hand around Min-young’s hand and looked at the high priest who was praying.
