Chapter 130 – 14. People I Met in the Holy Empire

There was no official name for the gathering to prevent the end of the world.

There are only two conditions for entering the meeting.

As the name suggests, you must try to prevent the destruction of the world, and you must learn about the double body of the goddess.

This was the reason why the archbishop brought him here as soon as he learned that Siu had met the goddess’ double body. The person who met the goddess, the man who was chosen as a saint, could not possibly be the one who wanted to destroy the world.

“You all knew…”

When he made a confused expression, Kim Han-sol burst into laughter.

“What is it? Did you think that only you knew about it? Something like a main character who received an important mission?”

“No, it’s not like that, but…”

“Ahaha! It’s cuter than it looks.”

“Siwoo-sama can’t!”

Then Elaine gave strength to the arms holding Siwoo as if she couldn’t be taken away even though she was already hugging her tightly. Siwoo smiled a little at her cute appearance, who was especially wary of Hansol Kim.

In contrast, Hansol Kim trembled with her body.

“Ugh, chicken meat. Well, since you’re a smart guy, you understand the situation? So, what did you talk about with the goddess?”

She who makes her eyes shine brightly.

Rather than her devotion to her goddess, she seemed full of pure curiosity and curiosity.

“I’m also curious about the old lady.”

The anticipation based on her faith was probably the greatest for the saintess, she took a step forward and approached Siwoo. She wanted to hear her story about the goddess more closely.

But for Siu, even hearing such a question was embarrassing.

Most of the conversations with the Goddess, that is, the main god, are about regression and the first playthrough. It wasn’t something I could easily talk about with others. So, I have to say only the rest except for that part, but then there is nothing special about it.

“Uh… It was just a request to protect the world because it’s dangerous. They said that they believed in me and for the time being, even their clones would rest and grow in strength.

“What? The end?”

“Yes. It’s over.”

Seeing that there was nothing more special than expected, Hansol Kim frowned at her.

The fact that even the clone body is resting is important, but there is no immediate effect. Anyway, very few people even met that clone body, and it was close to good news.

It’s about saints. It’s formal. From the moment the holy sword was pulled out, the main religion decided to recognize Siwoo as a saint. It was just to get him to meet the goddess, and if he did, to inform him about this meeting.

“Really, that’s all? We met for so long?”

When her Kim Han-sol put her hand on her waist and said something like a bruise, her first saint stopped her.

“Ms. Hansol.”

However, it wasn’t because he trusted Siwoo, but rather that he just let it go even if he was hiding something.

“No, it’s true… The rest is just chatting with the goddess…”

Siwoo thought he had nothing to hide. A conversation in the private realm rather than public. It was a kind of small talk. So there is no obligation or need to tell.

“… Small talk? Chatting? With the Goddess?”

“Come on. Let’s stop talking about it. It’s true that there wasn’t enough time to explain everything, and maybe the Goddess wants to leave it to us.”

“Okay.”

Kim Han-sol made a sound of pain, but she followed Ariel’s words and stepped back, closing her mouth.

“You must have heard that Hero Han Si-woo, no, Saint-nim, must also prevent destruction. If so, do you know the cause?”

Siwoo’s eyes widened.

Until now, of course, I was thinking of the final war with the demons and demons. But from Ariel’s reaction, it seemed that it wasn’t just that. Winning the war against the demons was a matter of course, and there were other problems.

“…Is it a dimensional rift by any chance?”

“You’re right.”

Ariel grinned.

“It’s strange that a dimensional rift was created due to a goddess’ mistake, so it’s strange that a huge amount of sound and energy flowed out. There’s something that intentionally sent them from beyond the rift. Our goal is not only to stop the demons, but to stop them as well. “

“I see… That’s why you created a separate secret meeting like this.”

It’s a story that doesn’t feel good to be known.

Besides the mighty demons and demons, there are other unknown enemies.

“That’s right. In fact, since we don’t know who they are, we couldn’t tell the rest of the country. But the number of people is not all of them here. Everyone is busy and it’s hard to leave at the same time, so there are a few more.”

“The Pope, for example…?”

“Heulheul. It’s really smart.”

1 Seeing the saintess laugh, Siu nodded.

It seems that this was the reason for the anticipation and interest in the eyes of the pope before sending him to the sanctuary.

‘It’s embarrassing, but… There’s nothing really different from before. I just need to prepare a little more.’

Maybe that’s why, like when she met the goddess, she didn’t feel particularly burdened.

“Then, is the story over? Elaine will tell you the rest. If I have something later, I’ll contact you through that person.”

With that, the story of this meeting is over.

As Elaine told me by the side, the unidentified enemy across the rift did not move and did not know anything, so it was natural. Since it is not known how the enemy will come right away, it is said that even if they meet occasionally, the main discussions are related to the demons.

‘Then is it over now?’

Siwoo wanted to quickly go back and rest.

As soon as she crossed the gate, she met the Four Saints, then the Pope, and then the Goddess.

Her stamina is fine, but she is mentally exhausted.

“Now, since we’re done talking, shall we have a party to welcome the newcomers?”

But just as he was about to tell Elaine to go back, Hansol Kim suddenly pulled out a large wooden barrel from somewhere. Then he put his hand inside him and pulled out a bottle.

Dark brown bottle decorated with a luxurious label.

It was alcohol.

“…?”

Siwoo was taken aback, wondering what was going on, but Kim Hansol approached him casually, grabbed him by the arm, and dragged him.

“Come on. Last time we couldn’t talk properly, but this time, let’s get to know each other better?”

“No, that…!”

“Ah…! No way! Siwoo-sama is going to enjoy spending time with me from now on!”

“It’s better to be together than to have fun together!”

Although the object of her enjoyment was completely different, she was persistent.

As a saint of judgment, she was the only one of her saints who specialized in combat, so her strength was so great that even when Elaine pulled her from the other side, she couldn’t stop her steps. Rather, she had to drag her way up to Elaine.

“Si, sir Siu!”

“…”

She panicked and called Siwoo, but unfortunately, his gaze was fixed on the wine bottle.

Only in the northern part of the continent I was a rare wine.

“…!!”

Recognizing that Siwoo’s mind was focused on the wine, Elaine hurriedly turned her head and asked for help from the first saint and the archbishop. However, the two elderly women were smiling heartily at the harmonious appearance of the younger generation.

“It’s unfortunate, but the old lady has work. Let’s have fun with young people.”

“I also have work to do. I need to check the blessings added to the saint’s holy sword… Enough then.”

“Wait a minute! Saintess! Priestess! No, the holy sword is confirming something here… Ah.”

Elaine makes a futile expression at the sight of the two old ladies disappearing like the wind.

Suddenly she noticed that she was sitting in her chair and her eyes widened. Beside her, Siwoo was talking with Kim Hansol with a flushed face. It was a conversation about wine.

“Magcor Dunouin 18 Year Old.”

“Did you know? I received a mission from that side in the past and received it as a reward. It’s a very precious thing? It’s a pity that the first saint has gone, but there are three saints gathered, and I can’t not pick this up.”

“…Cassandra is too young to drink.”

When Elaine took the porridge with a brusque expression, Hansol Kim took out a new bottle from the barrel with a grin as if he was ready for that.

“Tada, there’s something like this.”

“Dolmance juice!”

This time, it was the young saintess Cassandra who opened her eyes.

It’s not as good as wine, but it’s a high-quality drink that’s rare. It was meant as an ingredient for making cocktails rather than for children, but Kim Han-sol thought it was worth it for Cassandra.

Cassandra quickly took Elaine’s side and made a hasty excuse.

“It’s not because I want to drink it, it’s just for friendship.”

“Kuh…”

The pink saintess, cornered by her one-shot, looked up at the silver-haired hero Ariel for the last time.

She put on the pitiful look in her own way, but she didn’t understand it and just laughed. She moved her feet as if she was about to leave.

“I’ll go too. I have work…”

However, Kim Han-sol’s outstretched hand caught her hand like an arrow.

“Uh huh. Where are you going? It’s not urgent. You need to rest.”

“But…”

“Taeng.”

“…Then I’ll stay awhile.”

Ariel put on a troubled expression, but she sat down without saying a word.

Five men and women sat around a large table.

They soon chatted and enjoyed a drink.

Elaine, who had a sullen expression at first, began to enjoy her seat, as if she had fallen in love with the rare taste of wine. Cassandra, sipping juice beside her and smiling as if intoxicated with the atmosphere, looked satisfied as well.

“Ah, if it wasn’t for Hansol-nim, Siwoo-nim would be by now!”

“Ahahaha!! There’s a kid next to you, what are you talking about?”

“Even children should know what they know! Sandy is all grown up!”

Elaine stopped drinking and switched places with Ariel and quarreled with Hansol Kim.

Seeing a conversation reminiscent of a rakugo, Siwoo and Cassandra continued to look at each other while laughing.

Siwoo reaches out for a snack with his eyes fixed on the two.

Snacks were also something Kim Han-sol had taken out of her wooden barrel. Here she is, she even brought out two bottles of wine and a glass. It’s a barrel that doesn’t look that big, but it’s just amazing how things keep coming out of it.

“Ah.”

“Oh.”

“I’m sorry.

“Ah, that’s okay. I wasn’t looking at it either. What? And treat me more comfortably.”

“No, I’ll try…”

“Haha. Yes.”

Cassandra, a shy pink-haired saint with her head bowed.

It was a cuteness that brought out a hearty smile.

Perhaps because of her hair color, she felt like Elaine’s little sister.

‘If you look closely at her face, it seems to resemble her… What? Come to think of it…’

“Why aren’t the other two pink haired?”

It was Ariel who switched seats with Elaine and sat next to her to answer the question.

“It’s magic. Everyone’s hair color is uniform due to the influence of divine power, so it’s for individuality.”
