Episode 138
The sole holy object of the Balterus Church.
Acusium.
With a pilgrim wearing a rosary.
It is a sacred relic that can identify all those who have a scabbard made of rosary.
On this day, the church looked at the trends of pilgrims and paladins.
It wasn’t for any reason.
It was just to secure the location and send a messenger to a nearby pilgrim or paladin to deliver the mission whenever something happened.
From the trivial thing of capturing pet beasts raised by nobles.
To a large extent, it was to fulfill the mission of killing spies or heretics of the empire.
Acusium is a sanctuary.
However, in order to execute it, bishop-level divine power is required.
Therefore, it is not operated unless it is necessary to urgently deliver or secure a location, but for today.
Many bishops rolled up their sleeves to observe only one pilgrim. A stone chamber in the Acusium that only members of the church could normally enter.
There was a holy woman who did not fit into the stone chamber.
“It is the Sahara Holy Land.”
“yes.”
The bishops who manage the acusium stood up en masse and were sweating.
A woman with long shiny silver hair.
A crown was placed on top of her head, indicating that she was a queen.
Yes.
A guest in the stone chamber of the aquarium.
The Queen of Carpe.
Queen Clara von Agatha Bright had an audience in person.
So even though they did nothing wrong, the bishops broke into a cold sweat.
Originally, they did not find it difficult to deal with the queen.
No wonder.
unworthy king.
It is Clara who has the stigma of being a cowardly king.
It was because the public perception was that Chloe had been fortunate enough to occupy the position originally supposed to be held by Chloe.
It was Clara who had neither the power nor the power as a king.
So, Queen Clara always kept a low profile even with her subjects.
Who would be afraid of such a queen?
There was no way.
of course.
It’s all an old story.
‘He became dignified.’
All the bishops looking at the queen felt that way.
I’ve heard that it’s because Saint Stella’s swordsmanship is improving day by day.
indeed.
Certainly, the ethos exuded from the queen was markedly different from before.
The Queen no longer gives cheap smiles to her subjects.
The pure white pupil has sunk in order to penetrate the servant’s intentions and does not show his true intentions. Other than the slightly raised corners of his mouth, he couldn’t notice any change in his expression.
Now she’s not afraid of anyone.
“okay. The reason why the Count went to the Holy Land is, of course, to become a seeker. Are there any pilgrims from our church in the Holy Land?”
“It does exist. There are also those who continue to practice in the holy land. But they are also pilgrims who have not come out of the Holy Land for ten years.”
“Why do you stay in the Holy Land for ten years?”
“It is because of the specificity of the Holy Land. The holy ground is a better place for pilgrims to practice, and the tower of the holy land is no different than a training space made for pilgrims, so of course they sit there.”
Moreover, the Holy Land is not only a place for sword pilgrims.
It is not difficult to see pilgrims of other gods who are not easily met.
As you practice in the pagoda with them, you will come to understand more and receive the teachings of the beings at the end of the pagoda.
“There is also a pilgrim in Orbire, one of the saints of the Order, in the tower.”
There were three saints in the Church of Balterus.
One of them was Pope Philetse, followed by Cardinal Sullivan.
And finally.
There is Orbire.
A unique being who is both a Saint of the Church of Balterus and a pilgrim at the same time.
Despite possessing the holy power of a saint, he is a strange person who lives as a pilgrim and does not seek his own sword.
In addition, she doesn’t show up in the church and just lives in the holy land of the Sahara and doesn’t come back.
There was an official of the church who pointed out that point, but was ignored by the pope.
[Don’t touch her heart.]
A pilgrim that even the Pope is wary of.
Orbire.
“okay.”
Sahara Holy Land.
Pilgrim Orbire. adult.
As they occupy the queen’s mind, the name of Callius is engraved.
‘Even though killing in the Holy Land is forbidden.’
Still, I was worried.
A knight who saved his life, and at the same time a man who is also a teacher.
Colliers.
The Queen, who had located him, looked at the twinkle with anxious eyes.
It’s already been half a year since the outrageous servant who didn’t even tell himself where he was going left.
I was angry that there was no contact for some reason, so I came to the church to find out the location. But I never thought I would be in the holy land beyond the empire.
“I don’t know if I’m overdoing it again.”
“yes?”
“no. Victor? Let’s go.”
“Yes, Your Highness. Would you like to visit the academy as scheduled?”
“yes. I wanted to see that Zervan’s daughter was so outstanding that even the Pope would take care of her.”
There are many Kaladi’s children in the mansion with many traces of him.
Children who dream of becoming knights.
They are not those with noble status, but children who genuinely dream of becoming knights.
He was grateful to her for doing what she, the queen, should have done.
“They said it was Zervan Academy.”
“yes. It is said that the Royal Academy and the Jervan Academy often compete.”
“Such royal academy students must be bothering them a lot.”
“no. At first, the royal side was ahead, but now they say it’s boiling.”
“really? How is that?”
“It’s because the lady of Zervan I told you about quit the royal academy and decided to belong to Zervan. They say that Lady Emily trains them herself.”
Is it also the father and the daughter?
An arc line was drawn on the corner of the queen’s mouth.
* * *
Sahara Holy Land.
A tower standing tall there.
Agato too.
Agatodo, which has a total of 66 floors, was filled with many pilgrims and priests from the first floor.
The reason is none other than that.
“Selling the fingers of a black adult.”
“The skull of someone who could have been king of the dead. It has a powerful divinity. I’ll take three Yawning Holy Stones.”
“It is a debt of ruin. However, it still has a strong divinity and a pure soul. It was originally a spirit level. One holy stone is enough.”
It was because the pilgrims who lined up the stalls were selling things they had acquired while traveling from different places.
“No sir. Callis.”
“Something.”
“Why are these people selling goods here?”
Tower of the Holy Land.
Looking at the people lined up at the stalls at the entrance of Agatodo, it is safe to say that they are not pilgrims but merchants.
“They don’t sell because they want to sell. It has no choice but to sell.”
“What does that mean…”
Serena struggled to understand.
“The reason pilgrims climb the towers of the Holy Land is to gain enlightenment. Or for training.”
Even in the Holy Land, the tower is the center, so the divine power is concentrated more than other places.
There is no better place to practice.
So many people came here to tear down the wall.
“Demand couldn’t keep up with supply, so the tower managers came up with a trick.”
You need money to get the tower’s training room. So it’s for sale here.
“I see…”
Pilgrims are usually not wealthy.
So, he wants to sell everything he owns to climb the tower.
“Of course, not only to break down walls. Partly to challenge and partly because I was defeated.”
Tower of the Holy Land.
There are administrators in Agatodo.
There are those who are called the owners of the floor who manage every 10th floor, and pilgrims can challenge them.
If you win, you can get a certain reward, but if you lose.
“It is a custom in the Holy Land that many things are taken away from the owner of the floor at the cost of the challenge and run errands.”
Most of the stalls were set up to save the Holy Stone, but some of them were defeated by the manager and were arguing around the neighborhood.
“Why are you arguing?”
“Because the owner of the floor told me to fight against anyone and win.”
If you are the owner of the 10th floor, ten times.
Sixty times for the owner of the 60th floor.
It’s usually like that.
A person who has won once cannot fight again.
‘Agato too.’
Callius’ eyes, looking at Agatodo, fell into deep remorse.
Stealing his deep eyes, Serena realized that she hadn’t noticed.
‘A tower built after the end of the Great War of the Dragon Demon.’
Unlike him, Yongin, this place would not be a strange and fun place.
Serena blamed herself for being excited and reflected on herself.
Contrary to Serena’s thoughts.
It was for a completely different reason that Colliers had eyes of remorse.
“Why would you make something like this?”
“yes?”
“no.”
Agatodo was designed by him.
floor owners.
6 people with the top of the tower.
Trials created for practitioners on each floor, etc.
He was the one who designed it all.
Obviously, you can become stronger just by climbing the tower.
Because it is a system created to recreate a super sense beyond virtual reality.
But that’s for sure.
‘it’s tough.’
The trials of the tower are very difficult.
The thought of climbing this place already made my eyes go dark.
“Are you a first-time pilgrim?”
“I’m not interested in Dalian.”
“Haha, I’m not too shy to recommend sparring to a chick who just arrived. I just want to give you some advice.”
“advice?”
“It would be better if you close your eyes beforehand. I bet you.”
Was it like that
“Serena. What are you going to do?”
“I will follow.”
“okay.”
Colius opened the door to Agatodo.
profit.
The two who entered the tower soon saw the inside of the tower.
There was no light inside.
It was dark, so I couldn’t see anything.
But when the door opened, a brief flash of light confirmed what was inside.
‘doll.’
wooden dolls.
cooong.
The door is closed. at the same time. free𝑤ebnovel.com
[Welcome to the challenger.]
The tower’s voice began to be heard.
[The trial begins.]
Kiki-kung-kung-kung.
as the machinery turns.
In the dark, where nothing could be seen, they could feel the presence of a doll running towards them.
Starting from the 1st floor to the 10th floor, there is darkness where not a single light enters.
that’s the concept
and in that darkness.
Defeat invisible enemies.
Dozens of dolls were all strong and sturdy.
As a result, most of the pilgrims couldn’t even pass the first floor and were beaten and kicked out after panicking.
Of course, if you are a regular pilgrim.
Colius trampled the atmosphere.
“The Three Views of Heaven.”
The magic circle that appeared from the feet covered the area in an instant.
Sacred arts were drawn all over the dark first floor.
Unlike the previous one, it was surprisingly simple and quick.
“Kyugyo.”
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
An intangible chain protrudes from the ground and binds all the kokeshi.
Chick-kick-geek.
Between the dolls that can’t move and struggle.
“Get out of the way.”
whistle.
As I waved my hands, the bodies of the puppets pulled by themselves, creating a path.
As if a king was marching through the path that was made like the miracle of Moses.
Colius crossed slowly.
