The Book I Wrote Became the Bible - Chapter 42



42 – Raising the Paralyzed Man (1)

A paralytic came and bowed down and said, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.” He struck him and said, “I will; be cleansed.” And his palsy was cleansed by the fire of the Holy Spirit.

New Testament Gospel of Aurelia 8:2-3

The four of us, who had no schedule for the next day, went to a nearby cafe and sat down and chatted.

Chook Choooook Hobabat

Sunny sits next to me and drinks all the time. The cheeks are slender, so it’s very cute.

“I never thought that a freshman could win against Dia! It’s that easy too! Dia in the academy entrance examination was a wall that could never be overcome.”

It’s an entrance examination hall. Come to think of it, since Amy is also a commoner, she must have taken the exam like Dia.

“Come to think of it, you’re also a Pulse Rayno, and you also smashed Professor Kronia’s golem. I can’t believe my friends are monsters like this!”

I’m curious about Dia’s entrance exam.

In [Deus Ex Machina], You didn’t show the entrance exam properly. How was the entrance exam and how did D.A. Behave?

“That entrance exam. I’m curious, Amy. Can you tell me what happened there? And how Dia became the chief.”

“Ah ha? Are you so curious about Dia’s story? Diaya, Prince Luke is so curious about your story?”

“No Amy, don’t do it!”

Puck

Dia blushed again and slapped Amy on the back like before.

“Kuh, kuh!”

Uh…… Amy. It’s okay right?

“Ugh…… Oh, I see. I’ll stop, Dia. It was a bit harsh, I’m sorry.”

How can you maintain your sanity even after being attacked twice like that? Amy’s durability is also formidable. If she was [Deus Ex Machina], She would have been a good tank, right?

“Entrance exam. So, it was during her 2nd entrance exam that I met Dia. Of course, even if we met, it was only because I witnessed Dia one-sidedly, and we got to know each other only after coming to the academy.”

The academy entrance exam, which is conducted for commoners, takes the first round of exams by region, then gathers talented people and determines the final successful candidates through the second round of exams.

It seems that the first test was mainly based on intellectual ability, and the second test was based on military power….

“The content of the second entrance exam was a sparring with the professor.”

Sparring with the professor. I came up with something very simple and ignorant.

If you are a professor related to combat at the academy, even if you deal with a group of freshmen, there will be no problem with your stamina, so it might be suitable for the second test.

Siren’s sister who defeated the professors all at once is a strange beggar. Even the professors are talented enough to obtain a high-ranking title by force alone outside the academy.

Of course, raw meat is a necessary talent to control the academy students.

“Even with an academy professor, I never thought I would be that kind of a monster. I forgot his name, but he didn’t get hurt even after dealing with so many test takers?”

If you’re a combat-related professor, that’s understandable. Calandra Academy is a place that focuses excessively on military force compared to other countries’ academies. No, but how can you forget the name of a professor who even practiced sparring as a test? How did Amy pass her first test?

“But Dia had the upper hand against the professor.”

You got the upper hand against the academy’s combat professor? A student who is not an academy student?

“In the end, I was defeated unfortunately, but Dia was really cool? If Dia was a man, would she have fallen for me? Oh, so why can’t he meet the prince? Evil! Oh, okay, I’ll stop!”

During the brief sparring, I felt that Dia’s combat sense and ability utilization were very good, but I wonder if it was that much.

Then the other students won’t ignore Dia just because I won. Although the aristocratic students are a different story.

Anyway, if Dia had that level of skill, it might have taken me quite a while to win if I hadn’t used that artifact.

“But I didn’t know you could subdue Dia so easily. And that without using fire! I heard that fire was used against Professor Kronia’s golem? Come to think of it, what ability does Luke use? Are you a wizard?”

Ah… Would you consider yourself a wizard? I’m not a wizard, but if I say no, it’s ambiguous to make an excuse.

I can’t even say it’s an artifact.

“That…… I won’t comment.”

“A. What. Are we not that close yet?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Well, it’s only been a few days since we got to know each other, so it’s strange to tell them about our abilities. But I’ll get to know you later and find out!”

…… Uh… Well, maybe I can tell you when I get to know you later. No, but it’s embarrassing to say that I use artifacts because I’m incompetent.

Pinch

Then I felt someone pinch my arm.

From noble mtl dot com

“Luke. Don’t even tell me.”

It was Sunny.

“My friend Luke. But why not tell me? I didn’t even know you could use Luke Bull.”

That’s because I hid the existence of the spirits as much as possible from those who knew me.

Even those who saw me using fire in the first place were thieves and monsters I met when I secretly went out.

“Sunny…. So that’s…….”

“Luke. Disappointment. I was a playmate to Luke?”

No, it’s a bit strange to say that you are a play partner!

“No, Sunny. I also consider you a friend. That… The reason I couldn’t talk about fire was because it was an ambiguous ability to tell me. Actually, I don’t know much about this ability either. I’ll be sure to tell you when the time comes!”

“…… It is a promise.”

“Yes, definitely.”

Sunny put my little finger in her little hand that she held out and promised.

“Diaya… do you have to work hard There are already competitors.”

“…… Of course there will be. A man like that I was determined.”

* * *

After two days of riding a wagon around the Galilee region, Simon, Iaco and I arrived at Capernaum, the city of Capernaum, a neighboring territory and part of the Nova Empire.

There were soldiers who checked before entering the city, but he could not use his identity as Luke Persleyno.

I couldn’t use that identity in front of Simon and Iaco, and I didn’t want to reveal the identity of this avatar.

However, bribing through the door is out of shape. I’m trying to catch Gao and make him look like he’s there, but it doesn’t seem like he’s offering bribes.

That’s why I used the Temporary Invisibility Artifact.

“Wow. Those soldiers can’t see us!”

“That’s great… But it is possible because it is the teacher’s ability. Teacher. You are so amazing! Not only you, but also us can be made invisible!”

In [Deus Ex Machina], It was an item used when random encounter battles in the battle area were annoying, but when it became a reality, its performance was completely deceptive.

I can’t believe it’s possible to make both me and my party members invisible, even though it’s temporary.

Of course, it is only optically transparent, so it doesn’t feel like an assassin’s ‘hiding’. Our presence, such as smell and warmth, remains, so it would be easy to find us now if we are strong above a certain level.

If there was a knight at the city gate, this method would be unusable… This place is just a small town in the territory of Capernaum. I don’t have the capacity to always deploy knights who are equivalent to semi-nobles at the gateways to these provincial cities. Even in peacetime like this.

In order for a knight to always guard the gateway, it would have to be at least as large as Oriath, the capital city.

Anyway, along with Iako who was amazed and Simon who admired, they quietly passed through the gate and entered the city.

Now the question is where to find him…….

I know he’s staying and working here in Capernaum at this point, but…. I don’t even know the geography of this city, and I don’t even know where he is.

I don’t know where to go from here, so I keep walking because I’m afraid Simon and Iaco will think strangely if I get confused. I can’t just keep walking like this. If I keep going like this, I’ll go out to the other side of the city.

“Oops… ….”

As I kept walking down the street, I caught sight of the sick sitting on the edge of the road.

Patients with paralysis.

The most feared disease on this continent, the Red Death, has all but disappeared thanks to a drug that spread more than a decade ago. And after the Red Death, the disease that has the greatest impact on the continent, paralysis.

In [Deus Ex Machina], It corresponds to a state abnormality called ‘paralysis’. It was a common symptom in games, but when it became a reality, it became a bloody disease.

A disease in which the entire body gradually hardens after being infected and makes it impossible to move as intended.

You need to bask in the warmth for a long time and receive treatment with a certain level of divine power to heal properly. Even in [Deus Ex Machina], Only companions using flame-type divine spells were able to cure paralytic status abnormalities during battle.

However, most continental people cannot receive such treatment. A disease that most churches have to live with for the rest of their lives unless they are aristocrats or rich people as they receive large sums of money in exchange for divine power treatment.

For ordinary people, paralysis was a disease of heinous fear.

And those in front of me are the sick who are waiting for death as their whole bodies are hardened by paralytic disease.

It’s impossible to make and spread medicine like the Red Death for paralysis, so what can I do…… Huh?

Wait a minute.

Warmth and holy power.

Can this be cured by using the power of Ignis?

“Summon, Ignis.”

A dimensional door opened beside me and a burning adult woman jumped out.

“Oops! Fire in the air!”

“Go, why is there a fire all of a sudden?”

Surprised Simon and Iaco.

From their point of view, it would seem that fire appeared out of thin air. It’s just a surprise.

I can’t be seen talking to Ignis, so I’ll have to think to myself.

Ignis. The person sitting there. Can you cure it without harm to your body?

– Treatment? Ah. Is there a dirty poison infiltrating your body? Yes… I’ll try burning it!

The sparks fired from Ignis’ body fell on the sick man’s body.

Then…… Even when he saw the fire blazing right in front of his eyes, the sick man sat down with a bored expression on his face.

“Oh, how hot!”

I jumped up.

“It’s hot! …… Ah? Aren’t you hot now?”

“The sick… Did you stand up Maybe a teacher?”

“Is it so easy to treat a paralyzed patient who even the priests of a large church say take hours to heal? Teacher… how the hell…… !”

Simon and Iaco saw that the flame that had come out of my side was directed to the sick.

“Nonsense! Evra stands up! That Evra who was paralyzed!”

“That’s what he did! That man cured Ephra of paralysis and raised him up!”

And the passers-by who watched all of this scene.

That’s it.

I just thought of it and experimented……. What have I done?
