Chapter 1904 – [Hero & Demon King & Great Demon King]

Although the relief effort started suddenly, it was not that difficult. Leona has excellent abilities, so she never gets tired, the villagers are relatively small compared to her abilities, and Agape and I maintain a certain level of order.

When I lined up with my sword on, they at least pretended to line up. Of course, people who looked in bad condition were sent to the front row.

“God of Holy Light, please have mercy on the sick…”

“Oooh…!!!”

Oooh!!!!

Treatment occurs as the light penetrates the patient’s body. The man’s leg, which had been limping, immediately healed, and he became fine.

I think I broke my bone once and got it back together due to poor treatment, which caused me to limp… Seeing that it even restored the already healed wound, I don’t know if it’s the Holy Light God’s power that’s great, or the warrior Leona’s strength. .

No, for a god, that would be basic, so is it because Leona is a big vessel? Anyway.

“Thank you, thank you priest!!!!”

“Yes, it won’t get better right away, so take care of the treated leg for a while.”

“Yes, of course. I don’t have anything to give you, but I have canned potatoes from the field. Please steam them and eat them. They will be delicious.”

“What the heck… I’ll eat it gratefully.”

What the villagers brought during the treatment wasn’t that great. Vegetable crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and a few coins… But there were dozens of people giving them, so the amount was quite a lot.

It didn’t take long to heal, so there was no problem with rushing or interrupting. We arrived during the day and treated everyone in the village who needed treatment before the sun set.

When it seemed like everything had healed, I finished the meeting. Even though Leona didn’t seem very tired, she had at least treated dozens of people and had to take some time off. Moreover, if you don’t, problems such as your identity being discovered may arise.

“I’ve done all the treatment, and the priest must be exhausted. I’ll rest until dinner!!!”

“Me, mercenary.”

“What’s going on, chief?”

“It’s nothing else, we’re so thankful… We’re thinking of holding a small party later in the evening. How do you feel about it?”

“Hmm, if that’s the case. Then I’ll take a break and attend dinner.”

“Ah!!! I understand!!! Then I will prepare it!!!!!”

It would be nice if you could even throw a party. Even if it’s not that rich, a feast is a feast and there will be good food and such.

Maybe that’s why I heard the sound of chickens and pigs being slaughtered. It seemed like they were raising livestock to some extent and wanted to serve them a meat dish. And the sound of agape fills my appetite.

“Meat!!!!!”

“Eating at a place like this has its own charm. I think it’s usually whole grilled chicken. Boiled chicken or something like that.”

Aside from the agape response… Leona was reliving her strange sensations as she opened and closed her hand. She was wondering something, but it was because it was her first time healing someone with sacred methods.

If you think about the nonsense that the Holy Light Temple guys are talking about, it’s clear that they wouldn’t have done something like this. The basic thing about religion is to save and help those who are marginalized in society.

No? So what is the reason for religion to continue? If there is a religion where only the rich go to heaven, you should just search them all.

“Is that because you treat people?”

“Yes… This is my first time treating so many people. When I was working at the temple, something like this never happened.”

“Maybe there was.”

“Yes?”

“There’s no way the priest wouldn’t have moved with you when you were moving. Then, among you, the people who seemed like they were going to die today would have asked for help. But, let alone the priest, there would have been paladins by your side… What do you think it must have been like?”

“…”

If I had treated her, Leona would have known from the beginning. But she didn’t, so she probably didn’t know.

It’s natural. If you treat them, all kinds of miscellaneous things will come in, so as long as you are a hero, you can’t attract such people, so you either ignore them or use force to chase them away.

It was so obvious that it could be drawn in a picture. Perhaps, in a place unknown to Leona, many people were dying while seeking treatment, and the Holy Knights chased them away. This is understandable considering the crowds of people we visited.

“The Temple of Holy Light…”

“It’s rotten. Top and bottom.”

“Will it be difficult to fix?”

“Well, it will take at least a few decades of effort.”

“I guess I can do it?”

“Yes, if we educate and raise young children now and kill all the rotten things in the upper class.”

“Kill him? Isn’t there a way without killing him?”

“If a distant senior sends a letter saying, ‘Hey, I don’t think that’s true, right?’, As a junior, will I reject it, or will I have no choice but to follow it? Even if I’m placed on probation, there will definitely be people who contact me like that and try to manipulate me as they please. “

“…”

“You have to cut out what’s rotten. Otherwise, you’ll just eat it, get sick, and die.”

The atmosphere became tense, so I decided to lighten it up a bit. It is not good to push a child into a corner too much, so it is necessary to control the pace and pace.

I appropriately changed the topic to the banquet that would be held this evening. After all, isn’t this a party created by Leona’s work? So, if you enjoyed it, only Leona was qualified to enjoy it.

“Oooooh!!! It smells like meat!!!!”

“It looks like the meat is grilled in a way. It looks like it was seasoned with rock salt, so it must have some flavor. Furthermore, it looks delicious.”

“Ah, the feast…”

“Don’t worry too much. Enjoy the feast that the people you saved will be happy about.”

“… Yes!!!!”

Although she seemed quite worried, Leona followed along as if she thought the current matter was important. So I feel a little relieved too.

The village at night was dark because there was no light around, but there was a fire lit in the square in the center of the village, so it wasn’t that difficult to find. And I was able to see a whole pig roasting on that huge bonfire.

In fact, it was inevitable that pork fat would fall on the fire, create soot and spoil the meat. In the first place, do people here have any skills or anything? Still, I guess I’m trying to make it delicious, so I start rotating the meat, so it cooks evenly.

“Oh my!!!! The priest is here!!! Welcome!!! The soup is boiling, and the meat is grilled now, so enjoy it!!!!”

“Yes, I will eat it gratefully.”

Well, even if we put off the taste for later, sincerity is still important. It is impossible to criticize someone who wants to make a living by slaughtering livestock and serving them.

And the whole roasted pig is cooked and soon distributed to people. In fact, they gave more to us than the villagers, so other people’s share was less, but we were able to at least eat a piece of meat, so we had a bit of a party atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the village chief asked Leona one favor. If I do something, it is a request as a priest.

“Um, priest. If it’s okay, may I ask you to give a congratulatory speech before the banquet?”

“A congratulatory address?”

“Yes, most people don’t know much about Seonggwangsin because they are all rednecks. So please…”

Since it was a doctrine-related story, it was difficult to gloss over, but Leona just brushed it off. Among the things she learned at the Temple of Holy Light, there was the doctrine of the Holy Light God, and Leona was more familiar with such things than common sense.

Leona held her hands as if praying and quietly recited a congratulatory speech to the villagers. Although she doesn’t know much about her pious appearance, there are many people who join their hands together.

“Light exists everywhere. And it shines equally on everyone. The same is true for the grace and mercy of the Holy Gwang God, so even if you don’t know it, the grace reaches you as well. Most likely, the reason we met like this today is also the guidance of the Holy Gwang God. That’s probably what you did.”

“Oh…”

“God of Seonggwang…”

“The teachings taught by Holy Gwangshin are not that difficult. If you do not harm others for no reason and live by loving and helping each other, anyone can later be embraced by Holy Gwangshin. So, all you have to do is remember that as you go about your daily life.”

“Priest…!!!”

No, the doctrine itself is good.

It seems like an ordinary religion with nothing special about it. However, if you look at the temple of Holy Light… Oh, in this case, it’s not the god who is wrong, but the temple people who are wrong?

The article below says that even in modern times, Jesus would get angry and whip the pastors if they saw the nonsense they were talking about. God and the humans who follow it are different laws, so sometimes they have to be viewed separately.

Well, you’ll have to meet me first to find out. Even though I met her in person, I was restricted to the point where I couldn’t even say anything. If it’s the Holy Light God, it seems that you can only meet it if you go to a holy place, so let’s go and meet him in person and decide whether to harass him or not with the temple guys.

And so a small feast began with Leona’s congratulatory speech. Eating meat, drinking soup, singing and dancing, it’s quite exciting. Among them, those who had recovered from their illness and got up were moving around more excitedly.

No, if that happens again… Well, that’s okay. Ultimately, it is your responsibility.

“It’s pretty tasty.”

“Salt must be precious, but seeing how it was used sparingly, it seems like they really treat it with great respect. They probably get it from merchants.”

“Is salt precious?”

“It’s hard to get salt in the inland unless you go to a rock salt mine or something like that. Well, I don’t know if they know how to collect sea salt even near the beach…”

Still, you can obtain salt by boiling seawater, so it would be much easier to obtain salt than inland. However, since it requires a process that involves removing the guards, the quality cannot be guaranteed.

Salt from rock salt mines is often mixed with stone dust, so it is similar in the end. Modern clean, tasteless salt could be traded for the price of real gold here.

“The sea…”

“Oh, the sea?”

“What? They both show interest in the sea. Agape says so, but has Leona ever seen the sea?”

“Yes, I had no reason to go. I heard it was like a huge lake, but I’ve never been there.”

It was natural for Agape, who grew up as a wild child in the mountains, and it seems that Leona had never even seen the sea. Oh, so he never learned to swim? That’s understandable.

I felt like I could decide how to end this trip. After I’m done with all my work, I’ll go to the beach with the kids, play in the water, and eat fish and shellfish.

Anyway, after enjoying the feast, we decided to stay one night and leave the next day. I had no intention of staying long anyway, and since the patients were treated in one day, there was no reason to hesitate, so I got ready right away. However, as expected, he holds on to us with regret as he sees us leaving in just one day.

“Oh my, priest. Stay a few more days and then go…”

“No. There’s a long way to go. There are no other patients, so unfortunately I have to leave.”

“Then this. I only packed a little, but please use it for travel expenses.”

“I already received something else from the villagers, so what are you doing like this…”

“There are not many priests who stop by places like this, and it costs a lot of silver to see a priest in the city. Didn’t he take care of all the sick people in our village? Please think of it as an offering to the Holy Light God and accept it!!!!”

“If you say so, I will be grateful. I hope the light of the Holy Light God will shine on the village chief.”

Thanks to this, our empty wallets were filled to some extent. The money itself wasn’t exactly a lot, but there was a lot of food and such, so it seemed like I wouldn’t have to spend money for a while.

Well, many of them are difficult to store for a long time, but you can eat them quickly. If you can store food for a long time, you can save money by eating it later.

“It was my first time experiencing something like this, but it was rewarding.”

“Yes, it’s good to do good things. Later, when you’re walking around by yourself, try traveling. It’ll be quite fun.”

Even if you walk around here, you won’t starve. Ah, if you treat nobles and extract a lot of money, you can live comfortably.

Anyway, we left the village and started our journey again. And finally, we have almost reached our destination and arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Estonia.

The sacred site of Seonggwang Shrine is not far from here, so it can be reached easily in a day’s journey. Since it was the capital city and supplies were plentiful, I thought about staying for a long time, but I decided against it.

“Because it’s the capital, there will be people who recognize Leona. If you get caught, you’ll be in big trouble, so be careful.”

“Why is it such a big deal?”

“It’s okay for them to come and attack us, but I’m planning on killing them all. Leona doesn’t like that.”

“I shouldn’t get caught…”

Although it is not a sacred place, it is the capital, so high-ranking officials or such people may know the warrior’s face. If we get caught, it will be meaningless that we came so far without a tracer, so it’s better to hide it as much as possible.

What happened to entering the capital? Strangely, people there, such as paladins and priests, often caught my eye. However, there was a strange look as if there had been news that a hero had gone missing.

What’s going on? I don’t think the people at the Holy Light Temple would have noticed that we had come.

“Hero?”

And then someone called Leona. As soon as she arrived in the capital, she thought she had discovered her identity and immediately prepared to kill her, but the warrior’s face turned bright red and welcomed her.

“Priest Theo!!!”

“As expected, you are the hero. We have been waiting for you as Leonhard said.”

The elderly priest welcomed us without hostility or wariness. If you know the circumstances, it wouldn’t be strange to immediately call the Paladins and execute them as hero kidnappers or something… But considering that Leona’s teacher’s name also appeared, it seems like they were expecting us to come.

It seems like something happened somewhere I don’t know, but I’ll have to find out what it is first.

I guess I’ll have to postpone Thanos’ plan for the Temple of Holy Light for a while!!!!
