Chapter 757 – [Parenting Expedition]

As Mary said, there are three main forces in the Celestial Church.

One is the church prayer meeting, which is mainly in charge of priests.

The other is the Knights Templar, which is in charge of armed forces.

Finally, the Cathedral Inquisition, which determines and judges heresy.

Among them, the power of the church prayer meeting seems to be the least, but in reality it is similar to the other forces. Because it is the power of the priests, it has much more authority and power in peacetime.

In a place where the power of religion is so strong, there must be at least one church in every village. Just as Mary said she learned about the devil at church, it seems right that there is at least a church nearby that teaches the teachings of God.

It’s a god…… I don’t think there’s a god on this planet. Except for Gaia.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t powerful beings. Most of the inhabitants of this land are human, but it seems that there are also non-human races. Of course, there are very few of them.

“Then wouldn’t you believe in Gaia?”

“What are you doing by praising an existence for which faith is meaningless anyway? They’re just fooling around.”

Gaia is the will of the stars. Even if they believe in it, it doesn’t really mean anything. God, if there are no people who believe in it, it just disappears or goes to sleep, but Gaia usually doesn’t die unless the stars are smashed.

Would such a being be bound by human beliefs? No matter how actively Gaia intervenes, I don’t think that’s the case.

“What are you talking about? There is no God?”

“If there is a devil, then there must be a god. But don’t think that god likes humans all the time.”

“Ah”

“If there really was such a thing as God, your family wouldn’t have died like that.”

“……That’s right”

“There is a God, but he won’t use his hands unless humanity is in crisis, so it’s better to just think there is no one”

Anyway, let’s get to the point. The important thing was not this side, but the silver witch.

“The Silver Witch is a mighty witch who suddenly appeared a few years ago. Even though ordinary witches are hiding, they say that she made a pact with a high-ranking demon and smashed the knights and heretic inquisitors of the Holy Church with her beauty and mighty power beyond human beings.”

“Ugh”

“So, in the past, the Three Kingdoms lived in the Holy Church, but I remember hearing that these days they’ve become a bit fatter.”

“Then why did you find the Silver Witch here?”

“At least I heard rumors that it was last discovered in this area.

In conclusion, it was just a coincidence.

No, but to be honest, how can you believe that it’s all a coincidence?

As long as there is an absolute destiny, we cannot believe in coincidence. After all, it must be the result of her arrangement.

The Silver Witch was also the one she used her hand in the end… Anyway, I got the feeling that it was that way.

“It’s interesting. It’ll be worth watching.”

“Then there will be times when you will be beaten.”

“Honestly, it’s loaded, but there are more people to be afraid of than people to be afraid of, right?”

“Well, that’s right”

To be honest, with the exception of the Absolute, there was no opponent I would ignore. Even if she never grew up, she wouldn’t be hostile to me unless she thought about throwing away an arm.

That’s how strong I am now. It’s not conceited, but at least it’s not to the extent of bending over while traveling everywhere.

“Let’s go to sleep first. Oh, Mary, you sleep too. Tomorrow, I’ll wake up early and take care of the children of the Holy Church.”

“……….Okay”

“Sleep well with Xion”

If she was a boy, she would have brought out another tent, but since Shion is a girl now, she let her sleep with her. She didn’t even have room to tackle her as she hugged Zion and shared her body heat almost as if she were her own daughter.

My wife……. I’ll kill a true maternal love when I have a baby later.

I just hope that motherly love doesn’t go astray. There are few things that are hard to take sides like discordant maternal love.

The night passed while I stayed up all night.

The belated sun rises in the deep forest.

*              *

In the morning, I cooked the curry again.

Jagoro curry is delicious if left overnight. If you think scientifically, there is no such tendency in curry that has been left for a day because the curry contents, that is, the juice from meat or vegetables, come out and blend together.

Steaming the rice is also delicious. It kind of feels like that.

Anyway, the curry with the boar meat I put in yesterday was very tasty and rich. In fact, it’s too heavy to eat in the morning.

But it was much better than a carnivore like Zion or a child of prime age. To be honest, I wish I had at least one beer or something…

“Delicious!!!!! This is so delicious!

“Yes, yes, eat a lot.”

“Yes!!!!!”

A meat curry made according to Zion’s opinion, with a high percentage of meat. Potatoes and carrots were also added, but less compared to meat.

Anyway, that’s why it kills the flavor. Originally, the flavor of the wild boar was good, but the scent of the curry was added to it, so it was no different from the final boss.

I ate all of the leftover meat, even though it was almost like stewed curry meat. I think I ate well, so I feel satisfied.

After a decent meal, I asked Mary about her future schedule.

“Yes, Mary. If there is a target for your revenge, who will be the first?”

“Ah……..”

“Whoever it is, I’ll tear it apart”

Mary pondered a little, then slowly spoke of the object.

“This is the church priest who first accused my mother. There are many people to kill, but first he is.”

“How would you like me to kill you?”

“Is there any other way to kill him?”

“I’m not asking you to save me, but I’m begging you to kill me. There are some things that make me die. To be honest, if revenge is your goal, it’s a waste to just kill you.”

“Um, I don’t know, but for now”

“Great”

First of all, I didn’t know what the route was, but I decided to go slowly. I packed up and set off with Mary. This time, it seems to be a bit longer than the original purpose, but it was worth investing in.

Me and Shion first took hooded clothes out of our bags and put them on. Silver and black hair must be a concern here, so it was better to cover it.

Well, if you ask me to show you my face, I’ll change my hair color or go into hiding.

“How far is it from here to your town?”

“About a day… Ah, this is the time it takes based on my steps, so it will usually take less than that.”

“Okay?”

It is said that it takes less than a day as an adult, but it takes the same unless I am carrying Mary on my back.

I had no obligation to carry him on my back, so I left it in moderation and walked. It was quite a long journey, but as she said, it took a day to reach the village.

“No!!!!! Why don’t you carry me on your back if you say you help me!!!!!”

“Didn’t I say I’d only help you with your revenge?”

“Then I have to help you go to the village to get revenge!!!!!”

“I said that I would help only by limiting the target of revenge, but I didn’t say that I would help the process itself.”

“Write it……Then don’t refute me later even if I make an excuse!!!!”

“I see what you’re doing”

After receiving Mary’s complaints all day, we arrived at the village where her house was.

To be honest, it is a very small town. Some kind of strange energy was scattered everywhere, but it was not so big, it was a place where dozens of households were gathered.

Clap!

Guards armed with crossbows aim their protests in this direction. It’s not a big deal, but it’s still something to bear with.

“Who are you!!!!”

“Ah!!! Uncle Mark!!! It’s me!!!”

“……Mary?”

“Yes! It’s me!!!! I went out to the forest and met a traveler and came back!!”

Well, it’s usually a story that would work, but… Mary’s experience was the problem.

Her mother was accused of being her witch, and guilt-by-association is common in such an underdeveloped society.

“Your mother was a witch!!! A witch’s child is a member of the devil’s family, so how can I let you in!”

“Mister!!!!!”

“Get away!!!! Look at the old love, don’t kill me here!!! If you get too close to the village, I’ll shoot you!!!!”

Humans are not rational. If he is related to a sinner, it is natural for him to reject and drive him out, fearing that it will affect him as well.

“No, mister. I…”

“I warned you!!!!”

Tuwoong!!!!

Soon, an arrow flew in front of Mary’s foot as she took a step forward.

Proof that if it came any further, she would hit it herself this time.

“Hey, what are you going to do, Mary? If you want to see those humans as objects of revenge, I’ll kill them too.”

“………..”

The child thought

To be honest, if I give a positive answer as a way to vent my anger, I will try my hand at first. But she didn’t. It’s because there was no reason for me to choose from the beginning if it was a person who would have such typical thoughts.

So she shook her head and denied it. To her question, to her own doubts.

“……..No”

“Hoo”

“Even though I may sell my soul, I will not sell my humanity either. The only ones I will take revenge on are those directly involved in my mother’s death!!!!!”

“Yeah……That’s why it’s fun”

It seemed that Mary decided to protect her humanity because of the repulsive feeling, perhaps because I said I would help her. Well, I can understand the rebelliousness peculiar to children.

It was just a matter of how far it would go. I decided to follow her will.

“Okay, then what are you going to do? Force yourself in or leave?”

“Go away for now. Then we’ll go in through the night.”

“Is this place so lax?”

“When you stand guard at night, the village men take turns standing. But there is a gap between shifts. It’s about 10 minutes… But if it’s a demon, it’s easy to sneak in between those gaps, right?”

“Well, he’s smart. I’m quite curious about what he’ll be like when he grows up.”

“Well, that’s why I chose it.”

Take advantage of the gap between shifts and enter. It was a very good idea for a strategy that a child at the level of an elementary school student thought of, and it was a straight attack method.

Yes, this child is such a child. He was a child who could be afraid of his future when he grew up because somehow he found a gap and dug into it to achieve his goal.

Seon-i became a transcendental person worthy of a world, but this child had the qualities to destroy a civilization even though it was difficult to become a transcendentalist. Hmm, he’d like to recommend a great demon king after he becomes a transcendent and gains experience for about 2,000 years.

Soon we retreated again and went into the woods. But I didn’t go too deep, I waited and waited for night to come.

And… It’s late at night and it’s time for them to take turns. The person on the wooden fence waited for the moment to disappear.

“Now. We can move on now.”

“OK”

Slowly, I sling Shion and Mary over my shoulders and jump over the barrier.

It was a few meters tall, but it was easy to cross. Even if the light is not refracted, there is no one to see anyway, so it is enough to go over at night.

We sneaked into the village like that. Since it was night, there were few people walking around, so there were no witnesses.

“Where can we go now?”

“To the church. There’s a church in the center of town. I’m going to kill the priest there.”

“Who else besides the priest?”

“Only church people. After all, it’s one of them, so you only have to kill the people there.”

Haha! It’s so easy!!!!”

A corrupt cleric who killed a poor man for calling him a witch?

Wow!!!!! Honestly, I can’t die without it!!!! I don’t have a separate order, so even if I kill you, I will kill you enough to ask you to kill me!!!!!

“Huh? Doesn’t that sound strange? I killed you, but how do you tell me to kill you?”

“If you die no matter what you do, you’re dead in the end. In that situation, you’re alive just because you’re breathing? Oh, it’s a bit complicated, but can you understand it?”

“…You are a demon as expected. How could a human be like that?”

Hey!!!! I am also human within the big category!!!!!

It’s leaning towards the bad side, but it’s still in the human category!!!!

“However, his torture skills are beyond human.”

“Oh, admit it”

To be honest, when you torture a human being, you become a master of torture when you know the boundary between ‘kill me’ and not ‘save me’.

……..Ah, I don’t think it’s a bit far from knowing this itself!!!!! First time I knew it!!!!

Anyway, I went on a night trip preparing to grind the church bastards in earnest.

Fanaticism!!!! Rip and kill!!!!
