Chapter 208 – For Elise

Investigating anything Kim Katt and Elise’s investigation activities were literally going smoothly. Intermittently, we reported to Risha, and while building friendships with the poor and violent, we moved closer and closer to the truth.

Today, too, she and Elise were busy beating up the followers of the Eternal Island who hid in the back alley with excitement while gathering information.

“I’ll make a note for a while.”
“Okay.”

The past few days, Elise seemed very happy.

I too enjoyed being with her. She split the research fee she received from Risha in half, and with that money, she was able to spend a fruitful time in many ways while shopping or eating together.

I have already participated in the rally twice more.
It seemed that she would be able to reveal the true nature of Eternal Life Island, which was as dark as a fog.

“Elise. Couldn’t we try raiding the meeting site soon?”
“It’s a very attractive proposition, but only part of it can be dealt with. What we really need to destroy is their leadership.”

Elise covered her notebook and answered.

“Further investigation is needed. Believers who disappear after being baptized… Where the hell have they gone and what are they doing? I have very ominous and sinister thoughts.”
“I know.”

That part is definitely weird.

At every meeting, believers who applied for baptism were disappearing.

They never came back or made an appearance. Only one person selected from the last meeting had been transformed into a starving mummy and only once reflected and disappeared forever.

Like a show.

Did the other nine believers also change into the same bizarre form?
Or something more terrible?

There were already dozens of people who disappeared like that, but it was completely unknown where they had disappeared. Even when they secretly infiltrated the meeting place on a day when the meeting was not held and investigated it, they could not find any trace.

It was literally just a meeting place.

Our conclusion was that the lost believers were being ‘transferred’ somewhere. That place must have been their headquarters. If so, there was a high possibility that all kinds of riches were piled up there.

I don’t know what they’re doing with their baptized followers, but it must be for a sinister purpose, and it’s inevitable that they’ll need some kind of magical tool to accomplish it.

If you only find that place, you will be able to beat them all and take away all their money and goods.

Elise’s goal is to crush them, but I’m also aiming to steal the heathen’s property. Our understanding was 100% congruent. Let’s do a deeper investigation to find out their stronghold.

“Then this person…”
“Don’t just put it away.”

Not many people can withstand Elise’s violent interrogation. Here, the prickly pagan who just turned to porridge is the same. I put him in the corner, who was fainting and breathing evenly, and moved to find a new target.

“I’m sure there are pagans who worship monotheism as well.”

As a result of studying their doctrines using violent means for several days, it was eventually revealed that the followers of Eternal Life worshiped a single god.

Although the name of the god was not yet known, the doctrine was that immortal power could be obtained with the blessing of that only god. Elise was furious with that fact.

Not only their god was insulted, but they went wild, saying that it was an act of ignoring all the gods that exist in this world. He barely calmed her, who had gone mad with her rage and was about to die.

Moving to the next area, Elise said.

“The Idol War was, after all, a confrontation between pagans who believed in one God and modern religions that recognized many gods. It was a confrontation between unreason and reason. It doesn’t matter if it happened.”
“Something like a history teacher.”

It was a story about a big war in the past called the idol war.

In terms of the earth, is it like a world war? In an era when all kinds of beliefs were rampant, countless pagans took out spears and knives to unify the world, claiming that only their religion was real, and righteous people of all faiths fought a holy war against him. Was a story.

That was Elise’s answer to me who raised the question of the only God.

“The war against the pagans, who claimed that only their god was the true god, was like hell, and many ruins and kingdoms collapsed and disappeared as a result, but the explosively developed magic and technology at the time were very helpful. Was.”

This history education was knowledge that could not be learned even with books. To be honest, I could n’t understand it well, but I was interested and listened to Elise’s words of her.

It’s a little strange that Élise Tarnhe was explaining history, but it seemed to me just like a fantasy setting. It’s an idol war… Fighting for religion was the same in both the Earth and the other world.

“For example, the establishment of modern hygiene and the development of medicine, etc. The war against the pagans who worshiped the plague god resulted in numerous casualties, but in the end, the establishment of hygiene and the development of medicine led to the conclusion that the average life span of all people was shortened. That’s what led to the rise.”

Is that why the culture of sewage and public baths has developed that way?

Certainly nothing has increased the average life expectancy of mankind by leaps and bounds like hygiene. Why didn’t they say that the human being saved by soap was the world’s top class?

It is said that the hygiene rules that the legendary nurse Nightingale paid particular attention to dramatically increased the survival rate of wounded soldiers during the war.

According to Elise’s account, these relatively modern hygiene ideas were established after the war with the pagans who worshiped the plague god.

After all, do humans develop into war?

It felt as if the Wright Brothers and the Dynamite Novells were wailing from the underworld all the way here. It was so sad that humans are humans after all, be it in another world or on Earth.

“In this way, humanity develops in pain and tragedy.”
“Is that the doctrine of the Light and the Holy Cross?”
“That’s not it. This is just my personal interpretation… Hehe, it’s the first saint to talk like this.”

Elise said with a shy smile.

“Hehe, I guess I’m like that too.”

I can’t lose either.

I also explained to Elise the Confucian idea that one should respect one’s parents and live according to etiquette, and the folk beliefs melted in the emotions of modern Koreans, arranged in a different world style.

Of course, the story of Goliath, the legendary general of the Philistines, and King David, as well as the story of the Heavenly Demon Goddess, who worships the Heavenly Demon that will arrive someday in the land of Jungwon, is not forgotten.

Elise was delighted, saying that it was an opportunity to broaden her knowledge.
There are a lot of things that make me feel comfortable when I’m with Elise.

Is this the healing-type younger sister?

It was when she entered the alley to search for her next game anyway.

ㅡ Tak-tak-tak.

I heard the sound of something rushing, so I turned around and saw it. Dirt was rising from the other side.

“Saints?”
“Oh, it looks like something is coming.”

Looking closely, it was a little girl with black hair. Ohh, I looked carefully to see if she was the same as me, and the girl’s true identity was Rina.

What?

Are you Lina?

ㅡ Tak Tak Tak Tak!

“Kyaaaaa!!!”

Lina was screaming and running. It’s as if she’s being chased by something behind her. I heard that she changed her job as her as an adventurer, but did she get caught pickpocketing out of her habit?

I quietly watched the scene.

“…Oh, brother?!”

She looked back and Lina, who was running, looked at me and said that.
His expression her, which had been contorted with shock, suddenly brightened.

…Do you know how to help?

Is this kid out of his mind?

“Brother!”
“Get out of here, you bitch!”

Now, as if she were alive, she dodged Lina, who lunged at me like her bullfighters avoid bulls. I don’t know what to expect, but I have absolutely nothing to do with this kid.

“Catch!”
“Move!”

I looked, and there were two bizarre poor people who looked like a stupid old man, completely insane, and were running. Under the circumstances, it seems like they’re running to catch Lina… Well, I’m not interested in anything, and it has nothing to do with me.

For some reason, seeing blood was a specification.

“Help me too!”

Lina approached me and said as if pleading.
I’m sorry, but my help is quite expensive.

I don’t think Rina now has enough money to do that.
I’d rather not be involved.

“Go away dude. Did I tell you? There is no free happiness in this world. If it’s your problem, don’t think about getting help from others and solve it yourself.”

I spoke as if I was admonishing Lina, who was trying to hide behind me. Lina then looked up at me with her blatantly disappointed expression.

“Ah…”
“Saints, who is this child?”

While doing so, Elise expressed her doubts and asked.

“Well.”

The relationship between me and Lina is quite complex. She is a sister, but she is she and she is not really her sister her either. The precarious tightrope walking between the real sister and the fake sister… A bizarre relationship itself.

A bond of 10 silver.

“Well, you can say that a child like my sister… Uh!”

ㅡWheek!

That was the moment.

“Wow fuck! What the fuck is this!”

The poor man rushed in and swung a stick at me.

It was an unexpected attack, so I almost fell while dodging it. If he hadn’t managed to avoid it with his superhuman quickness of his, he might have poured blood straight from his head.

“You bitch!”

At that moment, I felt the rage as if my head would explode.

No, suddenly swinging a club at me?

Beyond the incomprehensible, it was astral. I stepped on the step and put my hand on the handle of his knife.

“Get out of the bastard you don’t care about!”

The poor people who shouted so pointed their clubs and grew ferociously… I’m going crazy. Without hesitation, I drew my sword and strode away.

You don’t care baby

Don’t you think you just got into trouble with your bastard attack?

“Elise. These bastards look like pagans.”
“I agree. Highway robbery in this country… Apologize with death. Wicked one.”

It has nothing to do with Lina, but this guy gave me the first attack. If so, it has become my whole problem that can’t be replaced with anything.

Of course, I had to find a solution.

“What, what! Are you that kid’s colleague?”

As I moved forward, spinning the drawn sword, Poor Min stopped me from approaching by swinging a club in the air. It was as if she never imagined in her dreams that she had attacked first.

I gave Lina a glance.

Do you dare to draw me to the problem?
Get ready to rummage for a while.

“Not a colleague.”
“Then what! Get out of the way!”
“Do you remember when you attacked me?”
“What…!”

ㅡShhh!

I just threw out the knife.

“Ugh!”

The extremely well-trained swordsmanship was not something that a scoundrel who grew up in a back alley without a clue would be able to defend against it. With a single sword, his carotid artery was severed and his blood poured out, and he struggled and collapsed.

“You bastard.

Searching his pockets his, he found two 1-cooper coins. He was as poor as he looked. I couldn’t even find it.

“All the wicked need is punishment.”

Elise had also broken the head of another assailant. I don’t know, but it was clear that they were pagans just because they attacked first. Elise also searched for his corpse his and took the money.

“Ahhh…”

I looked back.
Rina was watching me while shaking.

“Hey, you fucking Lina. I killed people because of you. What are you going to do with this?”
“That, that’s…”
“My Rina should be scolded. Do you dare to feed me candy?”
“Brother, it’s not like that… So this is…”

I need to change my habit today.

Even if you hide, do you hide behind me? This is clearly an ulterior motive to overcome the crisis by using me. I was thinking about how to cook this bitch, but when I saw her trembling her, Elise’s words her came to mind.

You can watch the kid once in a while.

So I decided to give it a chance.

“It’s Lina.”
“Yes, Neet?!”
“Do you know anything about the island of eternal life? None.”
