Chapter 160 – The Holy Eyes Met.
After saying that it would be dangerous for my older brother to stay here, I went down with him and dispersed the servants who remained in the mansion.
When he led him somewhere, Chloe decided to follow her in silence.
Of course, the overwhelming experience and force are symbols of safety.
His composure in grasping the chaotic situation and not feeling any tension had a big impact on Chloe, who was next to her, and put her mind at ease.
However, the place I arrived at was the first house I had ever seen on the outskirts of the capital.
When she opened the door there, her precious friend Rike came out and met her eyes.
“”?””
This makes too many assumptions for the romance novel reader.
Chloe’s head was full of confusion and chaos for the first time in her life.
Rike also blinked his purple eyes and looked surprised at himself.
After exchanging glances and exchanging a few words of simple and clear conversation that would make it difficult to grasp the situation.
I came to my brother’s arms as if it was natural.
As they were, they each cradled each other on their arms, stepped on the roof, and ran along the road to the church.
Chloe’s head began to turn again from the moment Lyke and the two of them were left in the chaos of the church, and the waiting without a promise began.
‘To wait here…’
When she heard that, she couldn’t even force herself to go with her, knowing that she would get in the way.
His own indecisive determination and clumsy brute force could not be so resentful.
On the one hand, there is great anxiety about the safety of her sister who is not here and her brother who was directly hit by magic on his behalf.
On the other hand, the unpredictable relationship between Rike and brother.
Her head was just about to explode, and she was in a worse state than before she started thinking blankly.
A noisy outside situation with an emergency.
Ricke, who was sitting on a chair in the corner of the church avoiding the people, took Chloe’s hand.
“Chloe.”
It was the first time that Rike, who was usually bothered by Seria’s light skinship unconsciously, stretched out her hand first, so Chloe’s body stiffened with tension.
“Yes, yes!”
Not seeing eye to eye, only looking at the glittering floor of the church.
Rike’s words were warm and warm, not his usual expressionless expression and calm and cold voice.
“Don’t worry.”
Chloe’s breath stopped at her words that contained many meanings.
“…”
After that, the moment Rike asked her to look outside, Chloe dramatically met her sister and calmed down a bit.
Rike and I didn’t say anything to each other, we held hands and waited.
The faint tremors felt on her skin were not her own.
Because we shared the feeling of worrying about each other.
Even Chloe, who had a mountain of questions she wanted to ask about her relationship and situation, couldn’t possibly talk about something personal right now.
And how long did you wait
-The saintess has returned…!
-Let the Empire know the victory!
-Wow!!!
– It’s not over yet! After the square spread in the alley is over, we have to patrol in groups of 5…
…
Along with the commotion outside, a different murmur and thunderous cheers were heard all the way to the back of the church.
Although she stands with her sister and walks in with a stately stride, unsupported by anyone.
Unlike the stride that seemed to have no problem, my brother, who was covered in blood, caught my eye.
The white shirt he was wearing today, all stained red and torn in tatters, came in that state.
I couldn’t afford to feel luxurious feelings like shame just because I saw the body of a man with no tolerance.
Holding hands with Rike and jumping up from the seat at the same time, my brother saw this and smiled brightly.
“Both of you have been waiting.”
Seeing him raise the corners of his mouth even though he had scars that didn’t look good at all, it really felt like my heart was being torn apart.
“Brother··!”
“Oh, brother!”
Among the cheers of the church members, a sea of girls cried.
Éclair feels positive emotions sprouting as she sees Chloe and Ricke relieved by letting go of the tension.
He felt a headache from the explanations he had to make while sitting his brother down, creating a barrier with mana to screen out the cries and pictures that were about to happen.
…
…
“… Older brother, are you really okay?”
Chloe, who followed while wiping her swollen eyes with a handkerchief, was taken care of by Eclair.
“I received treatment before coming, so there is no problem. I can go to a dessert cafe right now, so shall we all go together after the treatment?”
Rike heard me and raised her eyebrows while slightly tugging at her bloodstained collar.
“Brother···!”
Even after confirming the authenticity of her words that it was okay with a skill, Rike did not hesitate to reach out to my body as usual.
After meeting her at the church, Rike ran to Chloe and tried to hug her, but stopped and wiped away the tears running down her cheeks.
She fluttered openly at my clothes, checking the wounds on her body here and there.
The best thing to do is to reassure him by stroking Rike’s head with her hand, which she wiped clean while arranging her Gleipnir.
“It’s really fine, so don’t worry. It’s not a big deal, but it looks like a big deal because it’s white, right?”
I desperately tried to ask Eclair for her consent, but she refused to give her consent and let out a sigh of relief.
“Whoa… First of all, get confirmation from the saintess. It’s really something you never know.”
Drooling-
Magella opened the door to the room she had left empty for her treatment, and the saintess entered first and sat down.
“I would appreciate it if you wait outside except for the person concerned.”
At the saintess’ words, no one pulled her feet.
From the family register, Rike of the Marquis of Skadi and sisters of Count Dritna, who are receiving a lot of attention in the empire.
As three women who claimed to be related to a man crept into her room following Magella closing the door, the space for her treatment felt narrow.
‘What is this…’
Since polygamy is prevalent, it is understandable that there are many women who accompany them because it is a personal matter.
However, even in platinum, the picture of wild adventurers and dignified women from aristocratic families tied together was new and embarrassing to the saintess.
There were so many famous women mixed in that it was a picture that would stir up the empire in itself.
However, in this way, it is a position that often faces personal and private areas.
I know I should never get involved.
‘I’m only doing what I have to do.’
The saintess, who was trying to concentrate on raising her divine power, was sweating at the female Jin’s gaze, which was so focused on her that it stung the back of her head.
The eyes of nobles who are polarized by their eldest son, as well as those who have seriously injured lovers or family members, are equally intense.
This is not the first time this has happened, so the saintess, who gathered her concentration with her deep breathing, regained her composure and began to pray from her heart.
– I beg the Goddess who made light and truth, so please hear my prayer. Grant me the sight to see beyond the veil of illusion, the wisdom to discern between what is right and what is just, and the courage to stand up for what is good and what is true. Let your radiant presence light up the darkness and dispel the shadows that seek to do harm. Please clear the windows of her heart as I pledge her allegiance and devotion to the Goddess and honor the sanctity of all her life.
– Holy Eye.
Divine power pours into her eyes, and a holy dissimilarity dwells in them.
There was a quiet silence in the room that made it impossible to breathe.
She closed her eyes once, then opened them slowly, and focused her gaze on Roman, who was sitting in front of her.
‘The trauma was treated before coming, but reassurance is absolutely prohibited…’
High-ranking black magic often hides in the mind, mana gap, or soul so that it cannot be easily observed.
In fact, as she heard and witnessed her dead body.
There was an incident where a paladin who had been safe after fighting a warlock and winning the battle lost her life due to a sudden curse.
A situation where you don’t know what kind of special move the powerful devil you saw today.
You must do your best to investigate.
“Would you like to apply mana? It would be better if you make an aura and show it.”
“All right.”
Jiing-!
As a clear aura rose along her fingers, her holy eyes penetrated Roman’s mana and began to contemplate the interior.
‘Not only the condition of the muscles and bones, but even the mana is incredibly pure…’
The inside of the body and mana shown by the platinum adventurer that has only been heard about is tightly packed.
It was really hard to dig out and check each one.
The more I dug into her, the fatigue from the Holy Eye was stronger than usual.
Let alone the heart, checking one arm, the starting point of the aura, took a considerable amount of time.
But in fighting her hourly wages, her saintess put her own weariness behind her.
‘…Is it empty?’
Uniquely, this adventurer was not in the form of collecting and releasing mana in his heart.
The saintess was accustomed to trying to move in a different direction because such cases existed according to the seniority law.
I could feel it.
Around his heart, there is something bonded with no physical form.
It wasn’t an unclean feeling like black magic, but I couldn’t figure it out.
‘Is it a skill?’
It’s located in the heart, but it’s physically not the heart, but the figure that seems to be tied to protect the soul.
Like a dangling chain, it was a form of courtship that would never be called beautiful.
It’s looking for something from this adventurer, but it doesn’t seem to do any harm.
‘A chain… If it’s a chain…’
I have a clear memory of using a unique chain at the time I was dealing with the devil.
If you are a platinum adventurer, he may have visited several dungeons and possessed holy relics he did not know about.
Rather, something worthy of being called sacred, like the sacred relics of the church you own.
Could it be that this serves as a barrier against unclean things?
The moment he tried to approach using the castle’s eye to properly grasp his identity.
A voice was heard.
