Chapter 698 – #019. Paladin of Peace, Loen Vanilla (8).
#019. Paladin of Peace, Loen Vanilla.
The horses I summoned did not tire.
God’s blessing provided the horses with infinite stamina.
Thanks to the guys who ran without rest on the mountain and the flat, I was able to reach my destination in no time.
“Where is this?”
A rural village where you don’t know where it is.
People gathered and groaned.
Children, women and the elderly.
The young man was nowhere to be seen.
Rowen said.
“I would have been conscripted. Because of the war with the Demon King.”
“It’s conscription. It’s such a fucking word.”
My hands and feet are shaking.
For some reason, I felt a sense of kinship with the conscripted men.
Nonsan, 2pm, the memory of the day I handed over my smartphone to my mother and enlisted.
“Woo-wook.”
Nausea came up.
“Why, all of a sudden?”
“A bad memory came to my mind. Rowen, can I touch your breasts?”
The woman’s breasts had great power.
When you touch it, peace comes to your heart.
“… It doesn’t matter.”
“Then excuse me for a moment.”
I removed Roen’s armor and massaged her breasts.
I decided not to tear the tights.
I was able to fully enjoy the smooth texture even when I touched it over the tights.
“Whoa, that was a terrible memory. I don’t want to think of it again.”
“Your complexion is not good.”
“It is fine. Really.”
As I touched her breasts, blood rushed to a difficult place.
The cock got an erection.
Rowen glanced at my groin and said.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
“I don’t think the lower part has gotten any better now?”
“… Unfortunately, I don’t have time to enjoy it. There are people outside.”
A nice carriage came into a rural village.
Of course, I had to draw attention.
Villagers showed interest in the wagon.
– Hey, Knight. Are you a knight?!
─ Don’t come close! It’s going to be a big deal!
─ Help us!
When many come together, courage springs up.
People approached the wagon, saying what they wanted to say.
Rowen said.
“What if the person inside is a nobleman, without fear…”
“It must be that desperate.”
The horses I summoned ran in search of places where justice was needed.
These guys were equipped with a navigation function.
Even if we don’t have to set a separate destination, it’s supposed to guide us to where the bad guys are.
It was right here.
“Let’s get off, Rowen. It’s time to fulfill your responsibilities as a peace paladin.”
“Huh, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of garbage we can clean up again.”
I opened the carriage door and got out.
I saw people huddled together.
I pretended to be a priest in front of them.
“Hello everyone. My name is Ryan, a priest who worships the God of Peace.”
People’s eyes shone brightly.
In particular, he began to show strange hope in the part of being a priest who serves God.
An old man came forward and asked.
“Well, then that knight… ?”
Loen is wearing plate armor.
She even looks like her knight.
A knight with a priest of the Church of Peace.
Even a three-year-old would know.
That she is a Paladin of the Church of Peace.
“I am a knight. He’s a paladin who worships the god of peace like me.”
“Far, Paladin!”
Paladins are not normal paladins.
Because only those who peaked as Paladins are called Paladins.
The eyes of the villagers changed.
I had more hope than before.
What the hell happened
“Kuhm, hmm!”
Rowen’s shoulders shook.
Her face turned red as if she was ashamed of her pouring stares.
But as if she wasn’t offended, her wide smile hung on her lips.
The old man who came to know our identity said while looking somewhere in the distance.
“This is not going to be like this. Priest, let’s talk in a quiet place for a while…”
A skinny old man grabbed my arm and led me.
He seemed to want an intimate conversation.
But unfortunately, the old man’s wish did not come true.
“Why are you gathered there, what is it?”
One of her men walks along, dragging one of her knives.
The faces of the villagers hardened.
The man raised his eyes and glared at us.
It’s a familiar look.
‘Yes, I have to catch Gao.’
Because it is important to control the baseline between males.
“Hello?”
I pretended to be a benevolent priest.
I greeted the man with the kindest smile I could.
“Who are you?”
The man asked, looking at Rowen and me alternately.
His gaze lingered on Rowen for a long time.
Loen’s impression was crumpled.
He seemed to read the desire in his eyes.
I sent a telepathic message to Loen.
─ Loen, it’s about managing your facial expressions.
“…”
General traffic telepathy.
Hearing my voice, Loen hurriedly opened her expression.
“I am a priest who worships the god of peace. I am on a journey for peace under the command of the Goddess.”
“A god of peace? The Church of Peace?”
A man expresses his doubts.
“Were there any priests in the Church of Peace?”
“Yes, there is.”
The more unstable the world, the less value peace has.
In this world, the god of peace is a 5-tier deity.
Even if you collect hundreds of thrones of peace, you cannot follow a single god of light.
Of course, the power of the church is still lacking.
Compared to the Church of Light, it was ridiculously shabby.
It was understandable for a man to react like that.
“… What is the Church of Peace priest doing here?”
“We are on a journey to spread the word that peace exists. I haven’t decided on a destination, so I go wherever my feet can reach.”
“Isn’t this the destination?”
“It just passes. But it seems impossible to move more today.”
The sun is going down.
I don’t know how long it will take to the next town.
It is right to spend the night in this town and move again tomorrow morning.
That’s a wise decision
The man’s expression was not very good.
It seemed that we were not happy to stay in the village.
‘There must be something.’
The horses had a reason to come here.
In order to enforce justice and achieve peace, it is necessary to sort out what is happening in this village.
That is the role of the priest who worships the god of peace.
“Hang on. I’ll ask the captain and come back.”
The man ran toward a large building in the distance.
The pace was pretty quick.
“He is a trained man. A mercenary, right?”
“Looks like you can handle mana too. It’s trash anyway.”
As soon as the man disappeared, Loen twisted her face again.
“Why don’t we just kill them, Ryan?”
“Let’s just wait. You don’t know what that man is up to.”
Villagers are trembling with anxiety.
After the man appeared, the old man who spoke to us was incapable of doing anything.
‘He probably wanted to ask me to deal with them.’
It was obvious.
It was an answer that could be easily inferred if one was aware of it.
The man who left soon returned.
He led his own group, armed with weapons, and surrounded us.
A large man stepped forward.
He was a man who looked like a captain at first glance.
“A priest?”
“Yes, the god of peace is worshiped.”
“Church of Peace. Can I use divine blessings?”
“Of course. Because he is a priest.”
He put his palms together and prayed.
A pure white light enveloped my body.
It was a sacred spell, a blessing.
The men’s eyes changed.
Greed was felt.
“Hmm, the priest is certain. I was a bit skeptical because he said he was a priest of the Church of Peace.”
“You’re right. I am a priest of peace.”
“Is that woman a paladin?”
The man looked at Rowen.
Lust shone in the eyes that looked up and down.
‘I endured well, Jinwoo.’
I tried to blow my head, but I endured it.
The Priest of Peace does not use such violent methods.
We seek unconditional peace and harmony.
The man took his gaze away from Rowen.
“Priest, I have a favor to ask you.”
“Tell me anything. The god of peace will listen.”
“The village chief is very ill. Could you possibly bestow a divine blessing upon him?”
“Of course it’s possible.”
The guys who look like they killed and boiled dozens of people are asking for someone to be saved.
I feel a sense of incongruity somewhere, but let’s move after confirming his plan.
We followed the man to the village chief’s house.
“Disperse! Go home!”
A group led by the captain shouted and dispersed the people.
When he wielded his weapon, ordinary rural villagers had no ability to hold on.
“It is very inconvenient. To use violence against weak people.”
“I can’t help it, priest. How nice it would be if it was done in words. I didn’t want to do this either.”
The mercenary commander smiled and said.
I felt relaxed in my voice.
They were treating us as fish they had already caught.
“Priest just needs to quietly bless. Then you will be able to leave safely without getting hurt.”
He is making threats against the priest.
It seemed that he looked funny as a priest of the Church of Peace.
I understand.
The authority of the godhead itself and the power of the church are crawling at the bottom.
Being ignored by a mere mercenary captain was, in some ways, natural.
‘This is the first step I take as a priest of peace.’
Preparing to take out the mace, I followed the mercenary commander.
He entered the village chief’s house.
There, he saw an old man who was suffering.
‘… Oh.’
There was a beautiful woman in the village chief’s house.
She was a woman so beautiful that it would be difficult to think of her as a woman from a rural village.
“I even brought the priest with me. Do you still have no change in your heart?”
The mercenary commander’s eyes glinted with desire as he gazed at the woman.
I had a rough idea of what the situation was.
