A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 59

Wizard Days (5)

It’s already been 4 weeks.

Harang consistently went to the Rondel Cathedral and received blessings from Pastor Ezakt, and as he visited every day, he was able to become close to the priests.

“Oh my, wizard. You came today too. “These are the cookies the kids made today. Would you like to try them?”

“They say the fountain in the square will be open starting today. When you take a dip in the cool water, your stress will go away as if it has been washed away. “Aren’t you planning on going together?”

“They say sailors gather together in the evening and have a barbecue party. I think we succeeded in hunting the hexagonal whale this time. “I need a dance partner to join the party. Any ideas?”

Even though she was wearing a wizard’s robe, it was very easy for her to win people’s favor because she received blessings every day from Reverend Ezakt, who was highly popular with people, and she looked so beautiful.

Even though Harang didn’t really intend to do it.

There was one principle he realized during his long career as a professional gamer.

‘If you don’t tease its snout, it will eat half of it.’

How many times have you seen a fellow professional gamer being bombarded with malicious comments from anti-fans after saying something pointless on social media or in an interview?

Just keeping your mouth shut and saying hello can improve your image.

In reality, I just lived quietly playing games because I lacked sociability and didn’t like talking… … .

‘Anyway, you don’t have any intention of taking the bait yet. ‘There’s no news.’

Thanks to receiving blessings and continuously absorbing divine power, my divine stats increased and my total mana increased, which was a great help in my growth, but I actually made no progress in my mission.

Even though I tried to become friends with the priests and get information about them, I could barely get any information about ‘Archbishop Mafred’. All that Harang saw was Mafred’s face a few times during morning mass.

“I know that? “I heard the bishop doesn’t give divine blessings these days.”

“Not long ago, I saw him swearing at priests while swearing at them.”

“I heard it the other day, but since commoners don’t have money, they mainly ask nobles to go to the prayer room… … .”

Bad rumors about Mafred had been circulating for a long time. The problem was that he could not be brought down from his archbishop-level position based on mere rumors.

“Hey, I’d like to take a look at the cathedral. Would that be okay?”

When Harang approached the priestesses and asked, they screamed happily and said with sparkling eyes.

“come here! “We will guide you!”

“No, it’s okay if you don’t go that far… … .”

“It’s because we want to do it! Oh, do you ever think of wearing priestly clothes like us?”

“… … “Priestess uniform?”

Harang asked as if he was dumbfounded, but the priests nodded as if they were sincere.

“It’s done. “I don’t have that kind of hobby.”

“It’s a shame… … .”

“Then there’s nothing we can do!”

“Sleep, this way.”

In the end, Harang was forced by the priests to wander around the cathedral.

It wasn’t a bad experience. I learned the amazing academic fact that the cathedral itself had religious significance, and that its design structure was already a barrier, ready to receive God’s grace.

“We’ll just go!”

“Yeah… … .”

After being dragged around for almost three hours, Harang was released thanks to the priests leaving, saying it was time to go to work.

In fact, the reason he wanted to go around the cathedral was not simply to see the sights, so only then was Harang able to move toward his original goal.

Until now, I have not had a chance to freely tour the Rondelle Cathedral. However, now Harang has gained the trust of the priests, and thanks to his friendship with Pastor Ezakt, no one has criticized him for freely moving around the cathedral.

‘… … Is it here?’

And finally.

The result of over a month of hard work has come to fruition.

‘The secret door left behind by Caladun… … !’

As a result of taking a close look around Rondelle Cathedral with the Morning Star, I finally discovered something unusual in the bell tower at the top!

Fortunately, this time there was no Natalen test in the process of receiving the reward.

In the small room beyond the secret door, the sunlight streaming in through the rainbow-colored stained glass illuminated a luxurious box.

Click! When I opened the box, white vapor leaked out and dispersed into the air. Harang swallowed his saliva and looked at a pair of silver gauntlets inside.

‘… … set? ‘This is all you have?’

The silver gauntlets with black patterns were long enough to cover the wrists, but there was no other part of them.

‘They said it was part of the parts, but they really only gave me this… … .’

Although he felt a little disappointed, Harang grabbed the gauntlet.

[Do you want to register the equipment ‘Alteri Armor’?]

When the message came to mind, Harang put it on his wrist as a sign of approval.

Good!

“Turn it off!”

Immediately after that, Harang almost became nauseous as he felt an enormous amount of magical power being sucked into him.

‘W-what kind of magic is being sucked out like this…’ … .’

━━━━━[Equipment]━━━━━

Alteri Armor

A mythical armor created by the hero Caladern through a contract with the legendary Black Smith and multiple guardians using minerals containing God’s blessing. It is stored in subspace and is summoned and equipped according to the user’s will.

*Effect: Explosively increases the wearer’s defense and destructive power.

It consumes a large amount of mana as soon as it is worn, and additional mana is consumed every time you try to exert excessive performance.

*Parts collection rate: 7%

※ All parts are not assembled, so proper performance is not achieved.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Harang quickly scanned the explanation while breaking out in a cold sweat, then looked at his right hand.

An aura of stubborn protection.

Even if you are not wearing a self-defense device, this armored area will never be pierced by any attack and will block it firmly!

Moreover, that wasn’t the only effect.

I clenched my fist tightly and punched it into the air, and the sound of the blast splitting the air resonated fiercely and vibrated the space.

Huh… … !!

Harang was shocked when he punched himself in the face of the destructive power that made even the windows tremble.

‘Not only does it completely protect the wearer’s body, but it also increases their abilities?’

I tried to punch it once more, but I thought it would consume too much magical power, so I quickly took it off. The Alteri Armor seemed to disintegrate into blue lines and disappeared into the other side of subspace.

“Whoa… … .”

Even though I only wore one part of the glove briefly, I was dripping with cold sweat. I thought I knew why Calla Dawn stored the Alteri Armor by parts and then gave them to her one by one.

Having too much equipment that doesn’t match your skills is worse than not having any equipment at all.

‘Even if you get them all at once, you won’t be able to use them, and if you wear them incorrectly, all your mana will be sucked out and you will die instantly.’

Although he had never heard of a summons so dangerous in the world, a feeling of satisfaction lingered on Harang’s lips.

‘This is enough for now.’

Harang thanked Kaladun for his gift and left the secret door.

Today was the last day to receive a blessing from Pastor Ejakt.

* * *

“ah… … “You came today too.”

As usual, after hearing mass and heading to the prayer room, the priests greeted me with a somewhat awkward expression.

They had always greeted me with a smile, but suddenly they looked like that, so I couldn’t help but look suspicious.

“What happened… … .”

Harang, who was about to ask if something was wrong, noticed it intuitively.

‘… … Well, it’s time to reap the seeds you sow.’

After silently greeting the priests, he headed to the prayer room where Pastor Ejakt was waiting.

smart! When I knock lightly, Ezakt, whose voice is slightly trembling unlike usual, tells me to come in.

When I opened the door and entered, I realized that Ejakt was not the only one in the prayer room.

“You’re here. “You thief cat.”

‘… … ‘Archbishop Mafred?’

Pastor Ezakt knelt next to Mafred and bowed his head.

On either side of Mafred, who was sitting on the sofa, six paladins were looking at Harang with uncomfortable expressions. There was no chance of winning even if you fought them all as strong players of 4 stars or higher. Even if you win, you won’t be able to escape from the cathedral.

Click! The sound of the door closing and locking was heard from behind, but Harang calmly approached Mafred.

When he saw Harang’s face, he couldn’t hide his joy for some reason, but he pretended to be angry and lowered his voice.

“I heard everything. They say you received great blessings for an entire month without even paying any donations. Do you know how big a sin this is?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Heh, so these stupid commoners… … listen carefully. “Blessings are not given by us, but by our Father in heaven through our bodies!”

thud! Mafred slammed his fist on the sofa. It seemed like only my fist would hurt.

“Donations are a reasonable price that an insignificant human being can express to my father, and can be said to be a sincerity. “But what price did you pay?”

“I heard they’ll give it to you for free… … .”

“You idiot! Exactly! That’s why you didn’t become archbishop! “Your poor behavior is an insult to the Lord!”

Wow! Mafred slapped Ezakt on the cheek.

“Do you understand? A commoner boy. You will be glad that you have received a great blessing now. So, did you say it was an incurable disease? “Are you glad you got treatment?”

‘It’s not done yet.’

“It would have been better for me to die peacefully! “For your sin of trying to steal the Lord’s grace day by day, you will die and fall into hell!”

Harang wondered if he would look scared. It feels as if the script says, ‘You should be scared at this timing.’

However, Harang, who had no talent for facial expressions, could not force such detailed emotions.

So, as he just stood still, Mafred slapped Exact’s cheek one more time.

Wow!

‘No, why do you keep hitting the guy who stays still…’ … .’

As Harang’s expression slightly wrinkled, Bishop Mafred looked at him and smiled sinisterly.

“Yes, you too must be afraid of God’s divine punishment… … “Aren’t there supposed to be no money to pay for the Great Blessing now?”

“Yes.”

“but! Okay. The Lord is generous! I don’t want to forgive you, but I hear the voice of the Lord. Oh, holy. Holy… .”

Mafred trembled, embracing his body with both arms, as if he were possessed by a ghost.

“Repent of your sins. And wake up. God’s holy grace. The noble grace of the Lord… … .”

As soon as Mafred finished speaking, the Holy Knights approached and grabbed Harang’s arms. The Archbishop, who had been embracing his body and upholding God’s will until then, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Harang.

“Sacrifice your body and accept God’s will. I will allow it… … .”

A ray of smile appeared on his lips. Because it was the smile of a believer who had truly found light, Harang was slightly horrified.

“Take him with you.”

With those words, Harang was taken away by the Holy Knights.

What Harang saw the last time he set his eyes on the prayer room, right before he was dragged out of the prayer room.

Crack!

Pastor Ezakt’s expression was distorted with anger.
