Desert Wind (4)
Saint, Phanelen.
As she was crowned a new saint by uncovering the ugly corruption of the previous saint and gaining worldwide popularity among believers, she was bound to be famous in many ways.
This is because never once in history has a woman become a saint by overthrowing an existing saint!
The title of saint cannot be given to someone carelessly. Because the divinity designates saints solely through divine appointment, there were more eras without saints than eras with saints.
In other words, since two saints never overlapped, this was like the first time in history.
Normally, believers would not have accepted a woman who rose to the rank of saint in this way.
However, as it was revealed that the saint of the previous generation had committed such ugly, witch-like acts, the believers actually cheered.
Even Fanellen’s divine power was outstanding, so of course everyone thought that the divine power had transferred to her!
In fact, the miracles she performed were close to impossible unless she was a saint who had been sent down by God, so the people of the world mistakenly thought that Panelen was a ‘saint chosen by God.’
‘Hmm, my popularity remains the same wherever I go.’
Desert pilgrimage route. All her citizens came running out to see her walking barefoot down the boulevards of her city, Cadilt, and cheered her on. On either side of her, the Holy Knights showed their spirit with disciplined steps and used intimidation to prevent people from approaching them carelessly, but they were unable to stop everyone.
“Saint! Oh my saint! Please save my child!”
A beggar woman came in front of her with a small child and immediately blocked her path.
“Are you planning to disrupt the saint’s pilgrimage?”
The paladins were naturally indignant and tried to drag her away.
But those were all instructions from Parnellen.
‘Recruit a beetle to block my path during the pilgrimage. It would be even better if we had children.’
‘Also, Paladins, please refrain from overdoing it. ‘Okay?’
The paladins listened to Phanelen’s orders very carefully. This is because her internal popularity was so explosive that it went beyond her imagination.
“B-but. The child… … .”
“Uh-huh! “Can’t we just get up!”
As the paladin took excessive action exactly as ordered, Panelen said with a benevolent smile.
“no. Wait. “How can we overlook someone who is sick?”
“But the pilgrimage must not stop. “It is a ritual to bestow divine protection on this land.”
“But how can you pretend not to notice when the child in front of you is sick? “If that is a pilgrimage, I would rather stop the pilgrimage right here.”
“Oh oh… … !!”
“How can you have such a kind heart?”
“You are a great person… … .”
Panelen looked at the child, enjoying the admiration of the citizens. She said the child looked really sick because she actually said she was sick and she had to take it out.
‘It’s relaxing around here~’
In order to carry out this fraud, Phanelen thoroughly studied divine power. Just by placing your hand and scanning, you can immediately find out what kind of disease you have, how much you have suffered, and how critical your condition is!
Faaah! As divine power burst out and permeated the child, his complexion immediately improved. The child’s mother, who noticed that her red cheeks had calmed down and her fever had gone down, said she was truly grateful and put her head on the floor.
“thank you! thank you! Ugh, how should I repay this debt of grace… … .”
“Just seeing you happy is enough reward to me.”
At her words, cheers erupted from the citizens again.
After completing her pilgrimage, the saint returned to the main temple of Cadilt, rented an entire private room, and went straight to the shower room.
“Whoa… … “I’m sick of the desert.”
The defense of the saint’s clothes was stronger than that of most armor, and the magic that maintained temperature was also properly applied, making her almost completely immune to heat and cold. Also, because he was always wearing a mana coating, his skin never burned, but apart from that, this dry desert did not suit Young Phanelen.
‘ah… … I want to go back.’
Panelen, who was soaking in the bathtub with a bored expression, sighed. The great temples in regions other than the central continent only spoke of being great temples, but I didn’t really like the facilities.
‘The bathtub needs to be at least 50 pyeong to fit in. What is this? All I can do is barely soak my body. It’s stuffy and tacky.’
Panelen, who was twisting her hair and making a pouty expression, clapped her hands.
Then the priestesses waiting outside the bathroom came rushing in to clean her body and change her into a gown.
He sits cross-legged on a chair and lets himself be touched by the priestesses, but the gestures of applying lotion are very clumsy.
“… … “Didn’t you learn any of this?”
“S-sorry. We were afraid to dare touch the saint’s oracle… .”
“My skin is as beautiful as jade, but if I apply cream with such poor skills, my skin may be damaged. You go out, and another priestess comes in. “It’s even better if it’s beautiful.”
“Yeah… … .”
Priestesses also take care of their appearance. The more beautiful a woman she was, the more likely she was to know how to decorate herself, so Parnellen always tended to have beautiful women around him.
“ha. “How long are we going to have to stay in a place like this?”
Based on the temple’s information and the priests’ prophecies, it was good to find out that Harang was visiting this place for very important work.
However, unlike other Foldon Knights, Harang was the type that moved very quietly, so it was impossible to pinpoint his destination.
In other words, they would have to sit around waiting forever for him to come here, which was a situation that Panelen hated very much.
‘I already miss the luxurious facilities of the cathedral… … .’
I felt anxious that my beauty might be ruined if I stayed in such a cheap facility.
‘I came all the way here myself, and I can’t just go back. There must be a harvest!’
It’s not difficult anyway.
As long as you meet Harang, things will go smoothly from then on.
There is no way a teenage boy could withstand my beauty.
Perhaps a gentle push and pull would be enough. The boy will think of me whether he sleeps or wakes up, and will have trouble sleeping at night.
I have no intention of pushing and pulling for a long time.
Because of the nature of the Kaladan family, it would be impossible to have a relationship with Benedis.
‘For me, just making a subtle appeal is enough. Then he will try to get closer to me on his own.’
Hehehe. Her priestesses blushed as Phanelen smiled at her, cheering her up as she thought about the plan. Even the sight of Parnellen’s smiling face was enough to make her heart sink.
After taking good care of my skin, I checked the time and realized that it was late at night.
Beauty said she sleeps a lot. To maintain her skin, she had to go to bed early. It was hard to believe she was a priestess, even though she was a panelel who threw herself into her bed in thin nightgowns.
Knock knock!
-Saint! The news has finally arrived!
“what?!”
I hurriedly opened the door when I heard the priestess’s voice coming from outside. The priestess blushed with surprise at the sight of her thin nightgown.
‘Oh my, you’re so manly…’ … .’
The sight of her loose blonde hair flowing down her shoulders and along the lines of her body was so alluring that it made my heart burst.
The sight of the priestess at a loss made Phanelen feel better, but there was no time to enjoy such a reaction now.
“If the news comes, it means that the boy has been found, right?”
“Yes, yes! Hello, Paul Calladun. “We have just received information that he is visiting the Demon Hunter Guild in the military district one after another.”
“Demon Hunter Guild? What on earth is going on in the military district? … .”
Panelen narrowed his brows. The military district is a place where barbarian warriors gather, and the quality of the facilities in this city deteriorates significantly even if you get a little far from the central district, so I didn’t even want to step on it.
“No, isn’t Kaladun the greatest noble family in the world? “Why do you bother to go into such a dirty place on your own?”
“Well, really?”
“I don’t understand…” … It’s a busy world where we always see beautiful things and eat only luxurious food. Ha, I don’t know. “I can’t help it.”
Panelen waved his hand, saying he understood. Then, as she stretched and tried to go back to her bed, the priestess asked with a puzzled expression.
“Well, aren’t you going to see me right now?”
“huh? No way. Absolutely not. If a woman is in a hurry, nothing can happen. When the man is in a hurry, the woman must step in. “Maybe you’ve heard about me already?”
“but… … .”
“Well, that doesn’t mean I won’t move. It’s not too late to make a move tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when the monster hunting begins in earnest. “The point of this plan is to face him naturally~”
“Hmm, I don’t look very good.”
“What do you say you know?”
“Have you never been in a relationship with a man before?”
“… … Haha, yes, but! You don’t have to go to the sun to know it’s hot, right? “Sometimes there are things you can know without even trying.”
“aha… … “If you say so.”
The priestess bowed her head and left the saint’s room. When she heard him humming in the back room, the priestess’ expression instantly became cold and she scratched his hair nervously.
“Damn saint. I have a good sense of it, but it doesn’t come out easily. If Kaladun starts to intervene, it will be a pain in the ass, so if you want to do some ‘work’, today is the perfect day… … .”
There were too many strong people inside the main temple, so they couldn’t attack the saint carelessly. That’s why I planned to lure her outside, and I thought the news of her lover, Paul Calladon, whom she was desperately looking for, was a great bait.
‘Push and pull? romantic relationship? This is ridiculous. It’s all a play on words. Has my identity been revealed? As expected, she is said to be a saint and her magical powers are unusual. I need to offer that damn woman to Killivion as soon as possible… … .’
It is truly extremely rare for a saint to go out. Even if you go out, there is always a 9-star strongman nearby, so it is impossible to attack him easily. I’m not sure why, but now that she had come down to the desert with only the bare minimum of her escorts, this was her golden opportunity to take her away.
‘This opportunity… … ‘Never miss a beat!’
The priestess clenched her fists. A magic circle similar to her spider web was blooming on the back of her hand.
* * *
Harang was able to obtain information about events taking place in the southern desert very easily.
“therefore… … Are you saying that strange events suddenly started occurring after the Guardian disappeared 50 years ago?”
“It was a huge mistake on the part of us humans who thought that Guardian ‘Dernel’ was simply a higher-species predator dominating the desert. It seems he was also responsible for suppressing demons from invading the continent.”
“I guess so. “Guardians are meant to protect the balance of the continent.”
Even so, it is strange.
It’s not that the number of Guardians is large, and many Guardians died in the war 500 years ago, so there are now more areas on the Astera continent that Guardians cannot protect.
But why does something like this happen in the desert?
“… … hmm?”
Harang, who was deep in thought, raised his head when he felt gazes coming from all over the place. Currently, Master Ledalion of the Legion Guild has gathered all the famous guilds in the city and prepared a meeting, saying that he will deliver more certain information to Harang.
As a result, dozens of warriors were looking at one Harang with their eyes wide open, which was quite burdensome even for him.
They are at least 7 to 8 star powerhouses. They all had stronger power than Harang, and they must have had much more experience in the desert, but there was no way they wouldn’t be a burden as they looked at Harang with anticipation as if he could be the solution.
In fact, whether what he was expecting was true, Redallion asked in a secretly expectant voice.
“Do you have any idea as to why the frequency of red calls has suddenly increased?”
“… … “What would you know about me?”
“Keuhum, haha. Yes. It may be difficult to find out right away. But I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon, so I’m relieved.”
“Why do you think that? I am weaker, younger, and less experienced than you. “If you’re specifically looking for a lot of help, it’s best not to expect too much.”
“no way… … Still, hasn’t there been something we’ve done so far?”
“Me?”
“sure! “He subdued the elemental spirit of chaos that was trying to overwhelm the northern elven forest with his bare fists, and the fact that he conquered the frigid northern lands that we had recently begun to contact and returned after receiving the archduke’s oath of loyalty.”
“you’re right! “Haven’t you done great things at such a young age?”
“Age is not really important among us warriors. Just looking at this, the old man is 120 years old. Don’t you think he’s irritable with Redallion, who is much younger than him?”
“What is it?”
One of the old warriors was upset, but that was the point.
Just when it seems like they can’t solve the red call phenomenon that is becoming more and more frequent, they have no choice but to look forward to the visit of Callathan’s Folden Knight, whose reputation has recently begun to increase.
Also, is Kaladun an ordinary family? This family is famous for being the most expert in demon hunting.
“… … Well, I’ve gathered the information today, so I think I’ll be able to give you a proper answer the next time we get together. Thank you all for your cooperation.”
Of course, they had expectations from Harang, but they didn’t expect him to come up with a solution right away, so they left without a word.
‘It’s a burden.’
While walking alone at night, Harang straightened out his messy hair. In his hand was the staff that Kadalem had given him. It was still a situation where no leaves had bloomed.
‘It’s burdensome, but… … ‘I’ll do it.’
With that in mind, I was about to go back to the accommodation I had already booked, when suddenly an alarm sounded far away in the city.
Why!!!
“… … ?!”
Harang opened his eyes wide and quickly jumped to the top of the building.
However, even when I went up to the rooftop, I couldn’t get a good picture of the situation because the city was twisted like a maze of stairs.
“what’s the matter?!”
“Isn’t that direction the temple district?”
“what? There must be a temple of Benedis there, right? Why all of a sudden… … .”
Harang, who had excellent hearing and heard all the voices of passers-by, straightened his expression and jumped high.
Even if he didn’t know what was going on, it was clear what he had to do right now.
