Wizard Days (3)

After leaving the guard post, Harang took out a tourist guidebook for the Harana Canal and opened it.

It may seem like there is no solution, but he had one method that ordinary people cannot use.

‘If you look through the morning star, you’ll find something.’

He opened the quest window he received as soon as he first arrived in this city.

━━━[Sub Quest]━━━

Crime over the Harana Canal

*Content: An unidentified group of warlocks is hiding in the shadows of the city, trading the fear of corruption that harms the human soul.

Why couldn’t the guards identify their identities? Are you receiving God’s blessing?

*Goal: Punish the group of warlocks who produce hybrid flowers

*Reward: Potential Stimulant

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The quest arranged by the warrior Caladun grasps the situation with transcendent cognitive ability and instructs Harang on what to do in the future.

As you progress through a mission, there are times when additional hints are written on the quest screen, but the sentence containing the word ‘God’s blessing’ was not written when I first received the quest.

‘That means that’s the hint I need right now.’

It’s God’s blessing. Isn’t the hint too intuitive?

‘A person who, despite not being on the city council, can have great influence on the Harana Canal… … ‘There is one person.’

Rondel Cathedral. A group that can exert great influence on the city as the Church of St. Benedis.

Could it be that Kaladan’s secret agents couldn’t have thought of this?

‘It was difficult to dig up the back of the cathedral using normal methods.’

The influence of Rondelle Cathedral, which has a diocese on the Harana Canal, was considerably greater than expected.

Although it may not have the same economic power as the city council, it is responsible for the city’s education and faith, so its power is greater than expected and cannot be tampered with.

The religions of this world are much more special than those of modern Earth.

Most people believed in the existence of God because God was real and because divinity was intuitively given to them.

Even if the ‘believer’ here does not worship a being called God, the deterrence against committing sins is quite strong because they know that they exist anyway.

How dare the church manage criminals and take responsibility for both atonement and judgment?

‘Although this is the land of Kaladan, the influence of St. Benedis’ Church is not strong… … .’

It is said that there are other fiefdoms where the power of the lord is strong enough to be watched by the religious leader, but Harana Canal is not to that extent. Perhaps the Bishop of Rondel Cathedral will have no power to intervene in the economy at all.

‘If you think about it that way, I think you can see why the church and the warlock group were involved.’

How frustrating it must be for the church to not be able to touch money in a city where so much money and valuables are floating around. If the bishop is a greedy person, he will want to get money at any cost.

‘That’s good. Rondel Cathedral was a place I had to go to anyway.’

Harang smiled and put the tourist brochure in his arms.

Rondel Cathedral. It was also the place where the warrior Caladern hid the ‘Alteri Armor Parts’.

* * *

Late evening. Harang slowly walked along the canal road and headed towards the huge cathedral that stood in the center of the city.

Rondelle Cathedral on the Harana Canal, also famous for the famous painting ‘Greetings by Moonlight’.

The painter said that he despaired of his ability to capture all the beauty in his paintings and put down his brush forever. That much, the scenery of Rondelle Cathedral on a full moon day was so beautiful that tears came to my eyes.

Today, the full moon was shining brightly, and all the waterways in the world were shining brightly, reflecting the moonlight.

‘… … ‘It’s really pretty.’

It was a dazzling sight that made Harang’s heart pound, but soon his sense of reality returned.

‘Caladorn’s legacy is always kept in a place like that. plaguy… … .’

It is a place that people never find even after hundreds of years, like the flower tower of Natalen or the lake where Dangaksang sleeps, or it is a place that never disappears no matter how much time passes.

Rondelle Cathedral, built in the center of the Harana Canal, was just such a place.

Rondel was a sacred and inviolable territory, and even though numerous wars had been fought on the Harana Canal, the nobles somehow managed to bypass the cathedral.

This is because it was a very cherished landmark in the sacred nation of Benedis.

Everyone who did not want to be caught up in the war evacuated to Rondel Cathedral, and it still feels like a warm haven in the hearts of the people in this city.

Ahhh~♬ Haa~♪

When we arrived at the cathedral, chants came from inside. People walked around carrying what looked like lamps that gave off blue light.

It was a symbolic symbol that only believers of St. Benedict could have.

‘There are too many people.’

Not only were there believers, but there were also a significant number of tourists who came to see the sights.

‘I’ll have to come back at dawn.’

Harang, who had stayed at a lodging nearby, spent time meditating and returned to the cathedral around 1 a.m.

There were still many believers holding early morning worship, but it was not as crowded as it was in the evening.

As he entered the cathedral and walked quietly, people passing by looked at him strangely.

It was because he was wearing a wizard’s robe.

“Oh my, a wizard.”

“Why does the wizard come here?”

“That’s unpleasant.”

“But it looks kind of cute.”

“Don’t be fooled by the exterior. “The wizards are all ugly and dirty.”

I knew early on that the relationship between priests and wizards was not good, but Harang did not bother to take off his robes. If he did that, his body shape would be revealed and it could be seen that he had learned swordsmanship.

Harang, who was seated in a suitable spot, looked around while pretending to pray. If the Morning Star Eye is activated properly, the silver eyes are revealed, so it is impossible to use it.

However, even when the Morning Star Eye was not fully open, its ability to observe and analyze objects in the field of view was excellent.

The first thing he found was a secret passage.

It can only be found through the Morning Star, and there is probably a passage hidden somewhere in the cathedral that only Caladun blood relatives can enter.

‘… … Um, I can’t see it.’

No matter how much I looked around the inside of the cathedral, trying to keep the silver light inside the Morning Star from coming out, I couldn’t find anything like that.

‘No, more than that. Is something strange?’

I narrowed my eyes slightly, broadening my view as I looked around to find the secret door. The black eyes melted and a hint of silver appeared, but there was nothing he could do about it.

‘It seems like the sacred barrier surrounding Rondel Cathedral has almost lost its strength… … No, it’s not that you lost your power, but that you neglected it?’

The Morning Star Eye was able to interpret even the divine barrier almost perfectly, but the barrier of Rondel Cathedral, as reflected in Harang’s eyes, was weakened to a large extent.

‘… … Hmm. Was that how it happened? The bishop has already become corrupted and has lost most of his divine powers. ‘To the point where he can’t do the most important job of repairing the cathedral’s walls.

I only had to glance at the cathedral once to get a general idea of ​​what was going on here and what kind of man the archbishop was.

‘This might be worth looking into a little more… … .’

On the first day, I tried to focus more on finding Calathan’s legacy than on the mission.

“Everyone, let’s pray.”

“Let’s pray.”

The early morning mass was already over. After the priest Sokkwan offered his final prayer at Mass, it was time to collect donations.

Harang followed the crowd and made donations. This is because only then can you receive the ‘blessings’ that lie ahead.

The blessings here, unlike on Earth, really worked.

In this way, donations received in moderation can at best relieve fatigue or heal tense muscles, but the real ‘great blessings’ received in a private prayer room by paying a large amount of money have cured incurable diseases or regenerated mutilated bodies.

In fact, a cardinal-level priest sometimes received requests from warriors to regenerate a severed arm.

Because it was impossible to regenerate the mana circuit and even the muscles, it was impossible to regain the original ability, so most warriors do not do such things.

This is because the cardinal and dozens of believers had to pay for at least one building, praying for days and pledging their own life force to pray for rebirth.

Although Harang had no intention of receiving such great blessings, he decided that it would be a good idea to invest a large amount of money to meet them.

If he is capable of using the Great Blessing, he must be a high-ranking priest in the cathedral.

“… … “I cannot give blessings to wizards.”

“sorry. “The pastor refused to provide blessing counseling.”

“Hmm, I don’t have a seat right now.”

There were as many as five pastors who could give great blessings on the Harana Canal. If they went to a church in another diocese, they would all receive at least the title of bishop or higher, so it was a testament to how great Rondel Cathedral was, but that didn’t matter.

‘Wizards are hostile.’

This was expected. Harang did not give up and was persistent. If you do this, a pastor who is involved or wants to be involved with the wizard is bound to pop out.

‘Now, who are you? Come out quickly.’

It doesn’t matter which one of the five shows up. Although there may not be detailed information, all preliminary research on them has been completed.

No matter who I met, I was confident that I could immediately lead the conversation because I was simulating the corresponding course of action in my head.

“Ah, wizard. “Pastor Ejakt just had a vacant seat in his prayer room, so he asked me to bring him.”

“!”

Harang, who felt that the time had finally come, smiled softly.

“Please go to the prayer room over here.”

Following the priest’s guidance, Harang headed to the innermost prayer room and felt a strange presence. It wasn’t just a matter of mood.

Harang’s sixth sense, which he had trained as a swordsman and wizard, detected extraordinary divine power.

‘No, wait. ‘A pastor only has this much divine power?’

I thought the Archbishop had already lost his divinity, but is there another person who possesses the same level of divine power as the Archbishop?

Rattling! The door to the prayer room opened, revealing a man with such enormous divine power.

A handsome young man with red hair down to his waist.

The man, who seemed to be about 190 cm tall, so Harang had to look up for a long time, was looking at her and smiling softly.

“Nice to meet you, brother wizard.”

As soon as Harang made eye contact with him, he was able to recall his name through the information he had researched in advance.

‘Pastor Ejakt.’

Information about Ezakt quickly passed through Harang’s mind.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a wizard believer, so I’m really happy to see you. “Now, please sit this way.”

As I sat down on the small single-seater sofa, Pastor Ejakt sat across from me and smiled.

“Have you come to receive a blessing?”

“yes.”

“You look fine on the outside. Can I ask what you’re worried about?”

“I have a deathly disease.”

“Oh, that…” … yes?”

When he said that out of the blue, Exact was a little taken aback.

In fact, Harang knows that saying this with a sane and shameless expression does not give the other person trust.

But he wasn’t really confident in his acting. He wants to lie, but he can’t act, so he decides to use everything he has.

For example, the ‘curse of stigmata’.

“Even though it looks fine now… … A huge fireball settled in my chest that no one could cure. “Every doctor I visited shook their heads, and some even offered an astronomical amount of money to treat me.”

“that… … .”

Since you’re talking with a shameless expression anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the other person believes it or not.

No matter how Exact acts, Harang will respond accordingly.

“Ha, let’s take a look at the situation.”

He rolled up his sleeves, approached Harang, and slowly let the divine power seep into him.

Boom!

‘… … !’

Exact opened his eyes and looked at Harang with a shocked expression. She spoke with such a shameless face that I thought she was telling some kind of ridiculous lie, but there really was something like a huge lump in her heart!

‘How can I live with something like this… … ?’

At most, 5 years.

In it, the boy in front of him dies.

When Ezakt was embarrassed after finding out this fact during a single examination, Harang adjusted his clothes and said,

“why. “Do you think I won’t live long?”

“… … “Are you aware of your condition?”

“I know. “I’ve seen several doctors.”

Half is a lie, half is the truth.

The curse of stigmata is a chronic disease unique to Kaladan’s direct blood relatives, and if you don’t train yourself for the rest of your life, you will die really early. However, thanks to Harang-eun receiving the white heart, she has little to worry about her lifespan and has never seen a doctor.

‘Rather, to me, the curse of stigmata feels like a storehouse of magical power.’

Exact, who did not know this fact, looked devastated.

That this young boy, only fourteen, lives with the fact that he is terminally ill.

“Did you say wizard? “Wouldn’t the magic tower you belong to come up with other measures?”

“Because I am wandering aimlessly to treat my illness, I do not have a magic tower to belong to.”

“Then your parents…” … .”

“He died when I was young. “My father had the same disease as me.”

Priests basically have the slightest ability to detect lies. However, since Harang could barely see any lies in his eyes, there was no room for doubt.

“Because I am a commoner wizard, there is no church that accepts me, and now I am running out of funds, so this is the last place.”

“… … .”

“If treatment doesn’t work here… I can’t do it. Still, I’m happy to be able to leave this beautiful city.”

Harang has no acting talent.

So, even when telling lies, they maintain a shameless and blunt expression. His facial expressions aren’t colorful to begin with, but as he tries to act clumsily, his facial expressions become even more rigid.

So-called, reading Korean language books!

However, his way of speaking was accepted as more truthful than any emotional acting by a man like Ejakt.

“… … “I will try it.”

“yes?”

At this point, Harang, who was about to bring up the topic of donations, was a little embarrassed.

No matter what, I couldn’t receive blessings for free so as not to look like I was begging for sympathy.

“One month from now. Come visit us every day. “I will give you a great blessing every day without missing a single day.”

“No, wait… … “Can’t you only use the Great Blessing once a day?”

The Great Blessing is a blessing that ordinary people receive at least once in their lives because it is quite expensive.

“I don’t have that much money.”

Then Ejakt laughed.

It was a completely different smile from before, so Harang felt his head light up slightly.

‘… … This person, by any chance?’

“Yes, the Great Blessing is definitely expensive. Since it is one of the main incomes of a pastor, it would be quite devastating for me as well. but… … .”

He slightly tilted his head towards Harang and said.

“I felt it while scanning your heart. “You seem to have tremendous magical power?”

“… … .”

It is said that another person’s magical power cannot be easily scanned, but since he was in direct contact with the body and Harang released all of the magical waves when asked to scan, his enormous magical power was fully felt by Exakt.

“If you survive, you will undoubtedly become a great wizard. “Then, if you don’t forget me, that’s enough.”

Rondel Cathedral on the Harana Canal suffered a holy war with the wizard a long time ago, and the relationship has not yet been restored. Therefore, greedy priests do not want to work at Rondel Cathedral.

Because no vision could be guaranteed in a church whose relationship with wizards was soured.

Regardless of the fact that Pastor Ejakt was well-liked among the general public, he also probably did not have any connections with wizards.

In other words, Exact was making some kind of investment. Feeling sorry for Harang, and investing in your own future starting from that!

“If that’s the case… … “These are very good conditions for me.”

Harang, who had not expected the other person to come out this way, nodded in bewilderment.

“great. “I believe the deal has been concluded, and I will give you a grand blessing right now.”

Harang laughed out loud as he saw Ejakt trying to give the blessing for free without even asking.

‘This might have been a good find.’

I tried to catch a pastor and get some information, but I found a really good talent in an unexpected place.
