Chapter 211 – Trusts

The morning was bright.

“At las…”

The time to come into contact with the righteous light has come.

The first transcendent being encountered after falling on the continent of Eurelia.

However, the gods have not yet recovered their power. Isn’t that why they are concentrating on resting in their own sanctuary?

Even more so, the righteous light must have consumed even the little bit of strength it had accumulated to give it to itself.

You may not be able to talk for a long time. No matter how much it is in the front yard, even if it is the chapel of the Great Shrine, every time you give an oracle, your strength will be consumed.

So, I prepared what I had to say in advance.

Yesterday, he put the notepad in his inventory and nodded happily.

“Let’s go.”

“You don’t even eat breakfast, master?”

“… Originally, morning prayer is before eating.”

Carla rubs her eyes and yawns. Unbeknownst to me, a rebuttal springs out.

It’s not like I can’t stand it because I’m looking forward to it.

He’s a real God I’ve never seen on Earth, and even the first transcendent being I’ve met since falling to this world, and maybe he knows something about my possession!

Anyway, I wasn’t excited… !

“Huh. I’m not a child who can’t sleep because of the anticipation of a picnic…”

“Ttaek! Elisha You can’t do that! … And the owner is cute like that.”

“That is true.”

Pretending not to hear the mutterings of Karla and Elisha, who nodded her head side by side, she opened the door.

***

Thanks to Helena’s guidance the day before, the location of the chapel was not too difficult to find.

“Looking back, it’s gorgeous.”

“No wonder it’s the main chapel, not anywhere else.”

Even after waking up after a night’s sleep, his voice was strangely brusque, as if he hadn’t recovered from being pinched on his cheek.

However, I continued by gently stroking Iris’s head, who did not leave my side even while making ticks.

“I guess so. Even at night, the chapel is always bright with the power of light?”

“Hmmmm. They say it’s always a space full of light. … Pat the back of the head a little longer. Okay. A little to the back.”

Iris makes a cute noise and enjoys my touch.

Come to think of it, I heard from Helena yesterday that she chose this place as a chapel because she particularly liked this place of righteous light.

It’s a space where God puts his heart, so it’s decorated a little more beautifully.

In fact, most of Gwangmyeong Daejeon has a large scale and grandeur, but only this chapel boasts splendor with detailed decorations.

I slowly pushed the door full of beautiful reliefs.

Profit.

Mysteriously, the door pushed without any resistance as if pushing through the air. The first thing I saw was colored stained glass.

Glass windows in blue, green and red.

The light that passed through it asserted itself in each other’s colors, but soon mixed with each other and dyed white.

The place where the light from the stained glass gathers and shines white. There was a huge statue of a lion in its place.

A white lion that roars bravely with its mane waving.

It’s a while to admire the majesty that you will never forget once you see it.

“Ah, are you here, brother?”

Helena, who came earlier and was praying in the morning, greets her. A little further away were Albaor and Gilbert.

Albaor, who slowly got up, greeted me with a welcome smile.

“Good morning. Was the bed peaceful?”

“Thanks to your consideration, I was able to sleep soundly.”

After hearing my answer, the women gave subtle expressions behind them, but that doesn’t matter now.

“There are no people in the chapel.”

“Yes. Yandel-nim said he needed it, so I issued a ban on entry for today.”

“…”

I’m sorry. And it’s also embarrassing.

Noticing my subtle expression, Gilbert chuckled and waved his hand.

“There are many other chapels, so that’s okay. Do you want to start right away anyway?”

“It should be. You can’t afford to pay for a charter all day.”

He nodded and stepped in front of the white lion statue. Then he slowly got down on one knee.

Helena’s prayer posture that she had seen many times while moving in the carriage.

Reflecting on this, his hands are clasped together in front of his chest, and his head is slightly bowed.

And the huge white lion in front of me… No, I slowly called my name to myself, recalling the existence that this sculpture wanted to express.

‘Your righteous luminary…’

Whoa!

I haven’t said anything yet, but as if I’ve been waiting for it, a group of lights welling up from my body.

“Master?!”

“It’s okay, everyone back!”

Albaor, who is surprised to stop Karla from approaching, backs away.

Good judgment. My body glows suspiciously, but I don’t feel dangerous at all.

Rather, like when receiving healing, or when concentrating on divine protection under the sunlight, a warm feeling is rising.

The moment when the light emitted from the divine protection within me illuminates the surroundings and touches the statue of righteous light.

Ugh.

In an instant, along with a strange resonant sound, the light that gushed out of me was sucked into the statue.

Shit.

The sound of something being torn apart follows.

The white light that was concentrated on the statue flinched and shook little by little, and then came off while maintaining the shape of a lion.

A white lion that looked just like the statue of God stepped into the air and looked around.

“Ah… Ah…”

“The righteous light…”

Bewilderment and joy. And Albaor and Gilbert, who knelt down on their knees and shed tears with expressions of infinite awe.

Helena also didn’t cry, but she knelt down with a thrilled expression on her face.

My party also realized what kind of existence that lion made of light was belatedly, and their bodies stiffened.

However, as if he didn’t care about this much, the righteous light just glanced at me and fixed his head on me again.

The chapel, which was already bright with the light pouring in from somewhere, is now dazzlingly shining.

The flow of sacredness is like a scene from the torch I saw while touring Daeshinjeon yesterday.

What… Of course, this is not like Advent. It’s cool, but it’s like a shell with almost no power.

It was something like a kind of oracle that was created by resonating the power of the divine protection bestowed on me and the divine power dwelling in the chapel.

It felt like a white bird covered the surroundings when an oracle descended, or that light came down in a windowless room, or that a voice came from a statue.

In this case, the light gathered in the form of a statue of a god conveys the will of God… As with any oracle, it is conveyed in an inaccurate and loose manner.

Anyway, this is pretty cool.

It contains only the will, but no power, and yet it conveys a tremendous sense of intimidation.

He opened his mouth slowly in an atmosphere that seemed to tell him what it was like to be literally different.

Let’s see. Obviously, when I was playing Priest in the game, I called the Righteous Light like this.

“The most honored one in the high heavens. Master of the sun. Righteous Light, Guardian of all the good. I ask you.”

[Kreung…]

The white lion nodded in satisfaction as if this was the correct answer.

He pushed Helena next to him.

“She is a suitable woman to be your apostle. Please use it carefully to shine a light in the approaching darkness.”

[…]

A righteous light staring intently at Helena. As if contemplating something on her, she wiggles her front paws.

Well, you must have noticed Helena’s qualities as soon as you saw her, so she must be worried about her lack of strength.

He swallowed her saliva and spoke the words he had prepared.

“… If necessary, it’s okay to take away the power you gave me.”

Helena’s protection is already A rank. If I rank down my divine protection by a few steps, she should be able to raise it to S, an apostle level.

Although the bonus given by God’s Protection is regrettable, it will be restored as you clear the dungeon, so it’s okay to suffer for a while.

It’s a reasonable way, so I can understand the righteous light…

[Kheuuuong-!]

A lion that resolutely roared as if that was not the case.

Then, as if to explain why, he growled in succession.

[Kreung. Sniff. Khuhuong]

… I don’t know what to say.

I know I can’t help it because it’s an oracle, but it’s so frustrating.

The moment I tried to let out a small sigh without realizing it.

Tring!

A very familiar bell rang in my ears.

======================

Righteous light responds to your words [No! No way! Anyway, no way!]

======================

What the hell is this The system also translates oracles… ?

Occasionally, notifications would briefly tell me what the righteous light or other gods were doing, but I didn’t know that such a thing would be possible.

[Cheung!]

======================

The Righteous Light insists, saying [It will be solved if you become my apostle!].

======================

“No, because I don’t buy…”

The answer came without me knowing. The lion’s eyes widened at this.

======================

The righteous light is surprised saying [Can you hear me?].

======================

“Oh. Yes. I can hear you. I don’t know why you hear this.”

As I nodded my head bewildered, the huge lion purred and jumped like a cat.

======================

The Righteous Light [Then you won’t need anyone to interpret my words. Can you tell everyone to leave for a while, leaving only you and this child?].

======================

“Yes, what…”

With a sense of bewilderment, when I conveyed the righteous words of Gwangmyeong as they were, everyone opened their mouths in amazement.

However, when the lion nodded, he left the chapel.

Thud.

The sound of a door closing reverberates through the empty chapel.

All that’s left now is me, Helena, and a giant lion that looks so excited.

A bright light suddenly emanates from the body of the righteous light that looked around as if looking around.

The amount of light was so bright that I couldn’t even open my eyes.

However, it gradually decreased after a while, and it came down to eye level before I knew it.

The shape was very familiar.

It was Helena with her lion ears and tail sprouting, wearing her fluffy scarf.

“Uh?”

“Light… Sir?”

Helena and I, blinking with stupid voices.

As if we liked our reaction, the Righteous Light raised her arms and howled.

[Kang kang]

======================

Righteous Light exclaims, [Do you like things like this?].

======================

“Yes, this is familiar and nice, but… That…”

After a little thought, he spoke cautiously.

“Are you a woman? She always had a mane like a male lion, so I thought it was a man…”

[Ah!]

======================

The Righteous Light grumbles, saying [I just wrapped the mane because it’s cool!].

======================

Oh, it was a decoration.
