Apostle Evan (1)

“Evan Martinez… … !!”

Zaif’s shocked expression staggered and took a step back.

However, the response was far from surprising in its unexpected unfamiliarity.

A sense of incongruity that emerges when you confirm something that you vaguely guessed, but never wished was true.

As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s face, he was sure he had the correct answer.

“No way, really… … To think that there was a being who became an apostle without a ritual of selection… … .”

With trembling hands, he touched the carapace shield summoned by Lennok again and again.

The more this happens, the more certain it comes to Jaif that this is a substance separated from the apostle’s body.

The body of an apostle who becomes the incarnation of the end and becomes something manifested as a substance that does not belong to this world.

He didn’t know what it meant to be able to take out the fragment and show it to Jaif.

“Is it possible to partially manifest the true body…? … . In fact, you are already a perfected being as an apostle.”

Jaif, who had been tinkering with the carapace fragments for a while, looked back at Lennok with more cautious eyes.

As if he was already half convinced of Lennok’s identity, even the way he addressed him had changed.

“Apostle Evan, what do you want to convey to me while avoiding the eyes of Archbishop Naidre?”

“You must have already guessed.”

Lennok crossed his arms and watched Zaif’s reaction with cold eyes. From here on, you have to choose your words carefully.

Through Pentarect, he planted doubts in Jaif that Lennok might be the same apostle, and succeeded in turning it into certainty.

Even so, it’s because Lennok hasn’t explained why he gave the signal only to Jaif.

Of course, Zaifra didn’t know anything about the apostle, but his reaction just now didn’t detract from it.

However, by mixing truth and lies exquisitely, he induces Zaif’s actions as Lennok wants.

How much to adjust the ratio can’t be decided in advance before having a conversation.

I had no choice but to follow the reactions of Jaif, who was agitated right in front of me, and cook and boil at my own pace.

The initiative of the conversation is on this side. As Lennok replayed it in his mind, he opened his mouth to Zaif.

“Becoming an apostle without a selection ceremony with the help of a priestess. Do you know what this means?”

Full of ambiguous words. Depending on the situation, word selection that is not strange even if it is accepted with a different meaning at any time.

But it seemed to be enough for Jaif.

The apostle Jaif, with a shocked face, snapped at Lennok’s words as if he had waited.

“Are you saying that Archbishop Nydri knew about it but was hiding it from the agents…? … !!”

“… … yes.”

Rather, it seems that he was hoping that the words would come out of Lennok’s mouth rather than inferring the fact.

With his chin resting on his face with a hardened face, Zaif’s inner thoughts poured out as he followed Lennok’s words.

“surely… … There were doubts about Archbishop Nydri, not the current priestess, presiding over this ceremony.”

“Right.”

“But since the Archbishop had presided over the ceremony of the nature as a priestess in the past, I thought that this incident also received his approval.”

Lennok’s head spun rapidly.

There are two things we can know from Jaif’s words.

It is Archbishop Nydri, not the church’s priestess, who presides over the apostle selection ceremony.

The archbishop was a priestess in the past, but for some reason, she left her hometown and settled in the Far East branch.

While Lennok was organizing his thoughts, Zaif also began to mutter with a serious expression.

“Apart from the selection ceremony, is there something the archbishop wants? Although I thought it was strange to perform the ritual on the Sea of ​​Understanding… … .”

“The important thing is that the archbishop deliberately withheld the information.”

Before Zaif’s thoughts drifted to the strange side, Lennok returned the topic with sharp words.

“There is no hiding the fact that you can become an apostle without going through a selection ceremony unless you want something else. yes?”

“… … I can’t deny it.”

Zaif gave a painful look, but nodded heavily as if he had waited for those words.

Lennok also spoke a lie with a serious expression on his face without spitting.

“I realized this soon after arriving on the island, and realizing that I couldn’t trust the archbishop, I was looking for an assistant.”

“I mean, that was me. Then, the strange feeling of déjà vu I felt in the plaza… … .”

Zaif nodded with a cool expression saying that all questions were finally resolved.

Perhaps the reality was quite different, but Lennok realized now that it didn’t matter that much.

No matter how much an apostle is called the incarnation of the end, the way of thinking and intellect is no different from that of an outstanding superman.

Instead of solving all the doubts that exist inside him, it is enough to prepare some plausible answers.

The more he thinks everything fits together, the more Jaif will trust Lennok’s words like stone.

And Lennok’s idea was not wrong.

“What can I do to help?”

The words that came out of Jaif’s mouth.

In fact, it goes beyond agreeing with Lennok’s words, and is tantamount to saying that he will actively cooperate with the current situation.

Lennok answered right away.

“We need to investigate the inside of the temple. If the Archbishop has anything hidden, it must be the only one on this island.”

Actually, even Lennok doesn’t know if that’s true, but he knows something.

Once you’re inside the temple, you’ll have plenty of excuses to poke around inside.

The only thing that matters is whether Jaif is taking this situation seriously enough to let Lennok into the temple.

“It’s not inside the temple… … . I guess so too.”

Jaif also nodded with a more cautious expression.

“However, with the preparations for the selection ceremony complete, it is up to the Archbishop’s will as to when the ceremony will begin. Entering the temple right now must be risky in many ways.”

The preparations for the ceremony had already been completed, and the Archbishop was only estimating the timing.

It was an unexpected piece of information, but Lennok didn’t show it at all, but rather smiled.

“So, you didn’t even tell me when to start the ceremony?”

“… … .”

Did that mocking remark drive a wedge into Jaif’s suspicion?

Jaif, who had been silent for a long time, turned his back.

“… … follow me I will guide you into the temple.”

* * *

A land running through the sea, a huge crystal palace built in the middle of an island in the far eastern branch of the cult.

Hundreds of religious troops are guarding the beautiful palace, which seems to have been elaborately carved out of colorful bedrock and marble.

Originally, I would have had to work harder to break through their strict guards and the inner boundary of the palace.

However, Lennok was moving into the temple with ease just by walking behind Jaif.

As soon as they see Zaif’s face, most parishioners don’t even think of saying hello.

Looking stiff and nervous, he just hoped that the apostle would pass by without even looking at him.

Jaif, too, passed the huge arched gateway without even paying attention, as if such an attitude was natural.

The moment Lennok was about to follow Zaif into the gate.

Dismissed!

With a light spark, the curtain inside the gate pushed Lennok away.

“hmm?”

Zaif and the other school troops look back at Lennok at the anomaly.

“What is going on?”

“It seems that the battle system of the temple is working. It wouldn’t be possible without bringing in outsiders… … .”

Gyogun looked at Lennok with a slightly sharp expression.

“Can I verify your identity for a moment?”

“… … he is my guest What is this?”

When Zaif faintly frowned and expressed displeasure, the church soldiers withdrew with a crushed expression in an instant.

Even within the church, there were never many followers who could hastily disobey the apostles who had a special status.

“I’m sorry. However, as it is, it is difficult to even find out the cause of the clogging of the confrontation world… … .”

“It’s ridiculous. not an outsider How do you manage the confrontation system so that you don’t recognize members of the same church?”

“yes? I’ve never had a follower rejected by the barrier.”

“… … what?”

“Just go there.”

Seeing the speechless Zeif, Lennok took a step forward.

Instead of standing still like this, it is a situation where Jaif will become suspicious again.

In that case, it was better for Lennok to come forward and allay suspicions.

Fortunately, Lennok had a way to release the barrier.

In a sharp voice that could feel somewhat sensitive, he rather blames the church forces for not letting him in.

“I can’t hear you, so I can’t see you. I knew the Far East branch was not flexible, but I thought it would be like this.”

He took out a piece of paper with a control code written on it from inside his arm, and gently rubbed it against the tent through his sleeve.

At the same time, the curtain that blocked Lennok’s path melted away like a lie and began to open the way.

The pupils of the other priests, who were looking at it nervously, widened, as if it was a rare sight even for the parishioners guarding the gateway.

“With one gesture like that, the battle system of the temple… … .”

“Are you a noble from nature?”

“It must be to the extent that Apostle Zaif himself guides you.”

Beyond simply passing Lennok, only the appearance of the barrier was maintained and the function itself was completely stopped.

This will make it much easier for Rappard, Pio, or Gap-seon to enter the temple later.

“I have adjusted the performance of the barrier, so don’t touch it until I tell the Archbishop myself.”

It is as if the confrontation system has virtually stopped, but rather, he raises his voice as if he has accomplished something big with a steel plate on his face.

However, when the way he casually touched the confrontation in front of his eyes and that attitude combined, there was no one among the school troops who did not bow his head.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know the distinguished guest of the mainland.”

“I will do as the priest says.”

Lennok passed through the gate casually and stood next to Zaif.

Jaif nodded with a solemn expression.

“As expected, it was the archbishop’s trick. I was noticing.”

“… … what?”

“Isn’t it because he wanted to prevent you, an apostle who did not pass the selection ceremony, from entering the temple?”

“… … .”

The apostle Jaif, talking nonsense as if he was now seeing everything behind the scenes.

From that expression, there was no longer even the slightest hint of suspicion towards Lennok.

“You must have foreseen this situation in advance and made the necessary preparations. I have more faith.”

“that… … It’s run.”

“Archbishop Nydri… … .”

The appearance of Jaif, who was now concentrating on worship in the plaza, now burns hostility towards the archbishop.

How could I say that everything I said so far in front of him was just an excuse to infiltrate the temple?

However, apart from that, it seemed necessary to remember that the temple’s confrontation system was replaced by the power of Jindun itself.

The fact that the followers of the Far East branch are not properly aware of that fact is also not a simple problem.

Before Lennok could put his thoughts to rest, Jaif strode forward and led Lennok straight into the temple.

Hwareuk!

Candles hung on the wall lit up the hallway whenever the two of them walked.

“When the service is over, the archbishop and the deputies will also return to the temple. Better hurry up before then.”

Jaif said with a look of trust.

“If you saw through the plot of the Great Marriage World, surely there must be a place you can guess, right?”

“… … .”

“We understand that the Archbishop is hiding something from us. Show me what it is.”

Of course, Lennok knew nothing about the temple’s structure or the secrets the archbishop was hiding.

Rather, like Jaif, he has to find the secret and wander around the temple together.

But instead of panicking here, Lennok raised his finger with a confident expression.

Instead of being intimidated in a place like this, he knew that he had to actively pretend to know and trick Zaif.

“There are about three places that come to mind right now… … The archbishop’s office, the spire on the top floor of the temple, and the safe inside the temple.”

All of them are spaces inside the temple that are not easily accessible to outsiders, and are also suitable for hiding something.

It was a space that Lennok, who had never set foot in this temple, could of course assume would exist.

If I mentioned it in detail like this, there would be no suspicion.

However, as soon as he heard the words, Jaif tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“Hmm… … ?”

“Why?”

“No, it’s a much more obvious answer than I thought.”

“… … .”

“I don’t feel particularly inspired by the grandiose answer… … .”

He was a guy with a higher standard than I thought.

“The archbishop’s office is natural, but it is difficult to enter and exit. In the first place, the spire is closed so you can’t go in and out unless it’s a special occasion. The safe will have to write a guest book, so there will be a record.”

“Right.”

“It’s a place I’ve been thinking about ever since I had to go inside the temple. Are there any other candidates?”

The figure of Jaif staring at Lennok with his eyes slightly squinted.

At that time, it seemed that Lennok’s words were not trustworthy, and he was rather trying to find out this way.

As soon as Lennok saw Zaif’s face, he decided what to do with it.

It is not necessary to dispel Zaif’s doubts with other groundbreaking ideas.

From now on, I had to discipline myself so that this sharp-eyed apostle could not even make a sound.

“Apostle Zaif.”

“okay.”

“What am I supposed to answer for your complacency?”

“… … what?”

In response to Zaif’s bewildered reply, Lennok calmly put his hand on his shoulder with an expressionless face.

“Then you thought you could secure the archbishop’s secrets without risking anything?”

“… … .”

“If you were thinking that way, I was looking the wrong way.”

Lennok turned away, not listening to Zaif any longer.

With his hand on the wall of a nearby hallway, Lennok opened the shelf protruding from one corner of the wall without hesitation.

“Looks like we need to be alert to our plans that have already become complacent.”

“What are you trying to do? no way… … ?”

Realizing that what Lennok touched was one of the power distribution boxes that distributed power to the temple’s internal facilities, Zeif took a slight step back.

Lennok reached for the wire without hesitation and tore it off the wall.

Crunchy!!

Magic power is inserted into the end of the distribution box and flows back to the power plant connected to the other side, overloading the facility itself.

At that moment, the inside of the temple nearing evening is completely blacked out.

paper weave… … !!

In an instant, whitish sparks started popping up all over the dark hallway.

“What, what!!”

“The facility is out of power… … !!”

“Wrong, don’t listen to anything!!”

Lennok laughed at the priests wandering around Honbibaek Mountain.

“Let’s start with the fireworks.”
