Wizard Days (6)
After Archbishop Mafred took Haran away with the paladins, Pastor Ezakt, who was released, hit the wall with his fist.
Coo… !
Blood leaked from my fist, but I didn’t feel that pain now.
‘damn. To be treated like this again… … .’
It was always like that. Archbishop Mafred often interfered with Pastor Ezakt or took away his credit whenever he did something for his own future, and when he did work for the poor and powerless, he intervened for no reason, threatened him, created strife, and even took away all the money he didn’t have. .
It was the same this time too.
Pastor Ejakt was sincerely praying for Harang. He sincerely wanted to cure his incurable disease, and also wanted to draw up a plan for the future with his talent.
“But then again…” … !”
thud! Exact gritted his teeth and knocked on the wall of the prayer room, and priests knocked and called to him from outside.
-Eh, Pastor Ejakt?
-Are you okay?
-What happened, I want to hear an explanation!
Perhaps all the priests saw Harang being taken away.
The boy, who had attended the cathedral for a month and brought a little happiness to people with his smile, was being taken away by Archbishop Mafred, making people anxious.
“… … Come on in.”
No matter how angry you are, you cannot express your emotions to others. Ezakt adjusted his clothes and brought his priests into the prayer room.
However, it wasn’t just one or two people.
All the high-ranking priests, including the paladin and four other pastors, came to visit Ezakt.
Was Harang that popular?
‘… … No, that’s not it.’
Harang was undoubtedly a magician and an unusual boy who gained the favor of the priests, but he was not able to move them all that much.
“Pastor Ejakt. Is Bishop Mafred planning something strange this time?!”
“Tell me! I can’t take it anymore. “I already know that they are doing suspicious things against citizens!”
“Pastor Ezakt is the only one who knows in detail what Bishop Mafred is doing.”
“If you lead, we will follow!”
It was like that. Archbishop Mafred has been committing evil deeds for a very long time. In comparison, Pastor Ejakt was building a small but steady network of people and winning over people’s hearts.
‘… … ‘I’m not a very clean person either.’
Pastor Ejakt was also a man with a strong desire for success and money. He is a person who is completely far from the pure and sincere priest they believe in.
But, that’s why.
He knew how to use anger, opportunity, and situations.
“yes… … I know. What has Bishop Mafred done so far? And now, where he is and what he intends to do.”
Originally, the position of a single pastor did not dare to move the castle guardian knights under the jurisdiction of the bishop.
but… … The story is different if the paladins themselves follow the pastor.
“let’s go. “I can no longer tolerate Archbishop Mafred’s tyranny.”
The Holy Knights looked at Pastor Ejakt with stern expressions. Unlike Bishop Mafred, who had long ago become corrupted and polluted his soul, those eyes burning with pure desire had the power to move the hearts of the Holy Knights.
* * *
The Holy Knights followed Bishop Mafred and looked at the small boy walking silently.
With his arms tied behind his back by ropes, he was dragged here without even being able to resist properly, let alone use magic.
‘What crime did such a small child commit? … .’
The Holy Knights had such questions, but could not say them out loud.
‘What a unpleasant place.’
The place they were currently heading to was a place they arrived at by climbing through a manhole in the Harana Canal and walking a long way toward the sea through a secret underground passage.
It was never a good sight to see trash strewn everywhere, sometimes people passed out from drugs, or corpses soaked in blood lying around.
“Bishop… … “Where are we?”
Bishop Mafred clicked his tongue.
“You still lack faith. Only then can you receive the blessings of the Holy Spirit?”
“… … sorry.”
The blessing of the Holy Spirit was a special blessing that only the archbishop could give, and most paladins were bound to it.
Because the blessing of the Holy Spirit was the only way to succeed as a Holy Knight.
After walking inside for a while, I came across a space filled with rusty, smelly oak barrels.
The paladins trembled their shoulders and placed their hands on the hilts of their swords. There, dozens of dirty-looking thugs were staring at us, each holding a weapon!
“Bishop, how on earth did this happen?!”
No matter how religious a paladin I was, I could sense that something was going wrong at this point.
Street thugs are not even at the level of a 1-star warrior, but it is difficult for even a Paladin with such a large number to easily defeat them. Even, those thugs felt something unusual.
It certainly didn’t look like a body trained in martial arts, but unusually, it was brimming with the energy of an Auror!
“Oh, you really brought me here!”
As soon as the man who was sitting on the top of the tall oak barrels saw Mafred, he approached with a dirty look on his face, as if he was happy to see her.
“After all, you are the bishop! Haha!”
The paladins couldn’t believe it. The fact that the bishop is related to such a low-level thug.
Even, because he was overflowing with dark magic, the Paladins’ vigilance became even higher.
“Galic. “Can you manufacture blood stone today?”
Isn’t Archbishop Mafred being calm and friendly towards the warlock? Even the blood stone.
It was one of the most evil substances that came out only after making an offering to the devil. I couldn’t understand what was going on and that the bishop wanted something like that.
“Lord, Bishop… … ?”
“No matter how common they may be, if it is discovered that they were used in sacrifice, a judgment team will be formed in their home country.”
“Kuk, of course. “Bring it.”
“yep! older brother.”
When Gallic gave the order, the thugs approached. The paladins drew their swords to resist, but Mafred said with an annoyed expression.
“Are you guys still clueless? “This is why priests.”
“that… … .”
The paladins could only watch with a helpless expression as the thugs took the boy wizard away.
They were so shocked by the fact that the bishop they trusted and followed in collusion with a warlock that they could not move.
As the thugs took Harang to Gallic with their rough hands, the Holy Knights stretched out their trembling hands and asked.
“Bishop… … “Have you really betrayed my trust?”
Mafred did not answer.
He just silently walked up to Gallic and stood next to him, looking at the paladins with annoyed eyes.
“You’ve had a hard time following my orders. “I’m sorry, but I can no longer give you the blessings of the Holy Spirit.”
At the same time, Mafred spread his arms and spoke as if he was giving salvation to the Holy Knights.
“instead… … I will contract with the ‘Guardian’ and gain new powers. That must be a very powerful power that cannot even be compared to divine power. This is the ‘power’ that you knights want. “How about you follow me?”
“Damn it, we can’t betray our faith!”
“Mafred, I will punish you!”
Sreung!
As the paladins drew their swords, Mafred shook his head and said.
“You can handle that, right?”
When Gallic nodded, the thugs stood up holding tools. The weapon was sloppy and the posture was a mess due to having never learned martial arts, but the rising red aura made the air heavy.
“Kkeuk, I’m finally going to warm up!”
“A holy knight. “You were very courageous when you were oppressing us, weren’t you?”
“Let’s see if we can do that this time too!”
As the thugs began to surround the Holy Knight, Gallic grabbed the back of Harang’s neck, who was standing still, and lifted him up.
“Umm, this… … “It exceeded my expectations.”
Gallic muttered as if he was truly impressed. A child with such a beautiful appearance was rarely seen even on the Harana Canal.
Mafred stood next to him and asked.
“How is it? It’s worth it as a sacrifice, right? “It’s beautiful, but the thing that bothers me is that it’s a man.”
“Getting caught? Haha, I don’t know. Mafred, that means you still have a long way to go.”
“… … what?”
Gallic exposed his ugly teeth and spoke in a sinister whisper.
“The highest-level demons with bad tastes actually treat beautiful boys as sacrifices of higher value… … .”
“… … .”
Mafred’s expression slightly wrinkled as he heard a dirty story, but his expression soon brightened because it meant that he could obtain more ‘Bloodstones’.
“That means… … .”
“Yes, Bishop Mafred. You might be able to contract with a much higher level guardian. If you do it well, you might even be able to summon a top-level demon!”
“That’s great! Come on, come on, go to the altar. “Hurry up and perform the ritual!”
The moment when Mafred urges Gallic on with an expression full of joy.
… … Kwakwakwak!!
The ground above shook violently, and dust fell from the ceiling.
“W-what?!”
As Gallic panicked, one of the thugs who had been watching outside from afar came running in, covered in blood.
“Tongue, brother! We’re in big trouble! Outside, the Paladins are displaying it and searching everywhere! “This place will be discovered soon!”
“what? how… … !”
Gallic’s expression suddenly crumpled and he looked at Mafred, but he shook his head with a shocked expression.
“I am not! Think with common sense! Soon you and I will achieve our dreams, so why would you do something like that?!”
“damn! You guys stop the paladins! “By offering this sacrifice, I make a contract with the devil. As soon as I awaken, I will slaughter as many paladins as I can, so just hold on!”
“Ah, I understand, brother!”
There were almost a hundred thugs lined up, so even the Holy Knights couldn’t easily break through. They had black auras in their bodies, and each of them had 2-star to 3-star power.
“That would be enough to get away with it. Bishop Mafred, follow me! I hid my ‘Force Vessel’ in a place where they could never find it. “We’ll hold a ceremony there, so don’t talk nonsense!”
Gallic placed Harang under his side and hurriedly ran inside.
Mafred ran after him, shouting desperately even though he was out of breath.
“Well, wouldn’t it be okay to just move the Force Vessel and altar to another location and perform the ceremony? Even if it takes a little more time, it will be safe… … Huh?!”
“This bastard.”
With a truly angry expression on his face, Gallic grabbed Mafred by the collar and twitched the veins in his forearm.
“No matter how much of a gangster I am, do you think I would abandon my younger siblings? Qualitatively different from trash like you. Do you understand?”
“Ugh… … !”
Mafred had a lot to say, but he was suppressed by Gallic’s murderous gaze and was unable to say anything.
widely! When Gallic, who had let go of Mafred’s collar, ran ahead, he too ran after him with a shit-chewing expression on his face.
‘Damn it, on the topic of back alley gangsters… … !’
Even for Gallic, this was a risky gamble. The ‘Force Vessel’ was the source of the black magic’s dark magic and also its weakness, so I didn’t want anyone to find out, but it didn’t matter anyway.
‘I don’t think this kid can do anything just because he knows about the Force Vessel.’
Even then.
Gallic didn’t notice.
Tap, tap!
The fact that the ropes binding the boy wizard’s arms are slowly being torn apart… … .
