Dark Fantasy Paladin - Chapter 108
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 108
Episode 108
Starting from the north to the south, black wolves crossed the mountains and rivers of the empire. That image was clearly engraved in the minds of residents.
Iden treats the King of Unemployed like a horse. Originally, people could not perceive such detailed forms.
Fenrir’s moving speed was too fast for the ordinary eye to perceive.
However, the residents clearly saw it. This was possible because Iden drove the wolf slowly. It was to demonstrate the possibility of controlling the King of Beasts.
One way or another, the rumor will spread.
Human anxiety about heilang will be alleviated a little.
However, since it could not completely disappear, the real thing still aroused fear. Like the new recruits who kicked their butts as soon as they saw Fenrir.
“Hey, it’s Heilang!”
“It’s an attack!”
Direct territory of the Versoella Church in the southern part of the empire. The new soldiers standing guard at the entrance to the territory were startled by Fenrir’s untimely appearance.
How can there be a black wolf in the South? They couldn’t understand the English text.
Just as a new recruit was crawling to the emergency bell, a figure jumped off the wolf’s back.
It was Aiden. Although he was huge, his landing was very soft.
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Thirty new recruits all looked confused at the same time.
“His Holiness Tae Taekwang!”
Immediately he bowed down and expressed his respect. Although it was their first time seeing Aiden, they obviously knew the extent of their impression. All citizens of the empire were like that. There were almost no residents who did not know Aiden.
The new recruits bowed and looked at Fenrir and Aiden in turn.
Iden opened his mouth.
“What happened?”
Even if it is under the direct control of the church, it does not set up 30 guards.
The guard captain took a deep breath and said.
“Ahre, a special task force directly under the former Holy Council has captured the circumstances of the demonic cult’s infiltration into Versoella. “The details are being investigated.”
Versoella was one of the smallest areas under the direct control of the church. If I had targeted this place, there was only one reason.
He must have been trying to dig up Aiden. Because the monastery he graduated from was here. Currently, the number one target of the Demon Gods is a being named Taekwang.
Iden frowned.
Baekho stuck his head out from my embrace and said.
“Are you a step late? “I shouldn’t have found this body sooner.”
The new recruits were surprised again. Aiden said, pushing the white tiger’s forehead with his index finger.
“Have you been arrested?”
“We have captured these seven.”
It was a blessing in disguise. Because Iden was also able to unconditionally know the facts they had uncovered.
No human being could keep his mouth shut during the church’s interrogation.
Aiden nodded and took a step forward.
“Guide me.”
The guard captain stood up from his seat and gestured for me to follow him.
“I will take you there.”
Fenrir also released sign language and followed Iden.
The scenery seen after passing the entrance was not much different from other estates. There was a row of private houses in front, and there was a large grazing area around them.
What is unusual is that there was no permanent castle in the territory under direct control. Instead, a church larger than other manors was located and there were many related facilities. The monastery was one of them.
Iden might have been familiar with this place, but in fact, he was not. This is because the time of possession was right after graduating from the monastery.
Fenrir whetted his appetite as he watched the livestock roaming the pastures.
“The flesh has risen nicely to eat. “It tastes pretty good.”
The guard captain who was guiding us trembled. I thought he was speaking to himself.
Iden said, staring at the church.
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“There is no such thing as a tyrant. “Can’t I even speak with my mouth?”
“If you say one more word, I will tie you up here.”
Fenrir snorted as he looked at the wooden fence. I didn’t open my mouth.
The guard captain stopped in front of the church’s main gate. Outside, two Southern sentry officers saluted Iden. Two Aspects wearing black uniforms. It would have been a revelation in the north. Iden didn’t remember much.
“I see you, His Holiness Taekwang.”
“Yes, it’s been a lot of hard work.”
The two quickly opened the front door. At the end of the long corridor, the entrance to the chapel was visible. The destination was not there, but the basement.
The denomination does not desecrate its places of worship with torture.
When I went down the stairs on the left, the basement iron door was already wide open.
It looks like the news of Aiden’s visit has already been reported. A new soldier would have run over and reported.
“““I meet His Holiness Taekwang—!”””
The large space was filled with people. Heresy Inquisition, Holy Wisdom, fifteen Holy Knights, Holy Evangelist, and other new soldiers. All of them were dispatched for the purpose of investigation.
More troops were chasing the escaped demon cultists or searching other areas of the territory.
A woman in a red dress slowly walked out from among them and bowed.
“I’d like to meet St. Walenstal. “This is Saint Beatrice of Punishment.”
It was the woman I saw at the inauguration ceremony about a year ago. The saintess of punishment. The decadent aesthetic went well with the gloomy basement.
The red dress was so dark that it stayed the same no matter how much blood it got on it.
She said, smiling softly.
“It’s an honor to have you here.”
lie. The mind’s eye, which was activated immediately after entering the basement, made that judgment. When I tried to view her status window, it didn’t open as expected.
It meant that Iden was not recognized as a god.
Of course there are people like this. It wasn’t obvious on the surface.
Aiden said calmly.
“Nice to meet you. “They said they captured seven of them alive.”
“That’s right. Would you like to see it?”
“okay.”
When Beatrice made a gesture, the people who had their heads down moved to the sides to create a path.
Dozens of frames stood at the end of the road between them.
“Didn’t you say seven?”
“The rest are believers from the direct territories, including bishops, abbots, priests, and apprentices.”
The feeble sound of a song continued to be heard. Those whose skin had peeled off, revealing red-hot skin, were also struggling to breathe.
In this way, no one could die on the scaffold set up by the saint. Beatrice’s power. It was the force that bound the suspect’s life.
She keeps her subjects alive until she gets the answer she wants.
Like Xerath, Beatrice was a feared being to the inhabitants of this world.
Iden looked at her.
“Are they also guilty?”
The saint smiled and answered.
“of course. I’ve been living with an infiltrated heretic for over two weeks. “There may be apostates among them.”
It looks like they infiltrated rather than attacked by force. Therefore, the saint’s hypothesis was also very persuasive. Because someone could have infiltrated the direct territory first and acted as a vassal.
However, I wasn’t sure. In short, the intention is to derive some suspicion through torture. It was truly the church’s method. In this world, there was no principle of presumption of innocence.
Iden walked towards them, chewing his lip. If it were his mind’s eye, he would be able to relieve the injustice.
Just as I was about to ask a question, the boy tied to the lead started trembling. It seemed like he had something to say.
When the saint saw the scene and recited a hymn, the boy’s cut off tongue grew back.
Beatrice opened her mouth.
“Have you thought about being truthful?”
The boy stammered, looking at Aiden.
“Seo Paladin. It’s me. let. This is Tedrang’s lett with the seal of God. I really don’t know anything. Please believe me.”
With Ted? let? It didn’t come to mind right away. It was only after searching through my memories for a long time that I finally found out.
“Your sister’s name was Julie, I guess.”
The boy nodded with tears in his eyes.
“The Holy Knight… No, she is my sister whom God saved.”
It was a mission I was given just before being commissioned as an official Holy Knight. He had defeated an incubus hiding in Tedrang and saved a girl who was addicted to demonic energy.
At that time, I handed Julie’s younger brother a seal and told him to come to the church, which he did.
Aiden nodded and said.
“That’s great.”
Then he looked around at the others and asked.
“Is there a ganja of the Demon God Religion here?”
Weak voices were occasionally heard.
“Oh no.”
“Absolutely not.”
“Please believe me!”
“I serve the sun.”
.
.
.
We checked each and every one accurately. Unfortunately, the saint’s prediction was correct. Among the dozens of people, excluding the seven demon cultists, there were four spies.
Iden said, pointing at them.
“Leave those people alone, heal the rest, and then liberate them all.”
The saintess drew an arc and answered.
“The charges have not gone away yet.”
The majority of the investigation team dispatched to her protest stiffened their expressions. Some seemed to agree with the saint’s words.
Iden looked at her and spoke calmly.
“Don’t tell me twice.”
The saintess stared at Aiden and slightly lowered her head.
“I will accept it.”
Not even a subtle current passed through her expression. The saint just chanted a hymn. At the same time, the tortured wounds began to heal.
Lost skin was regenerated and burst eyeballs were repaired. The burn was also completely erased.
The rope that bound them also fell weakly.
Those who were released knelt down on the floor and repeatedly expressed their gratitude. There were many believers who were sobbing.
Iden glanced at them. I found the man who appeared to be the oldest and approached him.
I made eye contact with the prone old man.
“Do you remember me?”
It may be an abbot or bishop. Aiden was planning to be the first to ask questions to them, who were probably well-versed in matters pertaining to the territory under their direct control.
The old man answered happily.
“I remember. How could I forget? “Your Holiness was a more talented person than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
Aiden knew well that the monastery’s grades were very excellent.
That wasn’t the point. I was curious about his whereabouts. Where on earth did it come from?
Iden was about to ask exactly but stopped.
“Look at this child.”
Baekho, who was taken out of his arms, said.
“The maximum is two per day.”
It was not possible to check everyone’s memories.
The old man was quite embarrassed when he saw Ain, but did not say anything. I just followed Aiden’s orders and made eye contact.
After a while, Baekho bowed his head.
“Wow, how can I do this? Boredom, arrogance, narcissism, indifference. “These are all words for you.”
“Personality is not the problem.”
The white tiger spoke softly into Aiden’s ear.
“······It’s vague. Was it wrapped in a cloth in the chapel? I don’t know who left it behind. Are they demon cultists? “They also checked there.”
The cult advertised that Iden was a baby who came down from the sky with wings. Of course, it was just a story.
In reality, it was wrapped in a cloth and left in the chapel.
After thinking for a moment, Iden raised his upper body. He said while looking at the investigation team.
“Has the purpose of the Demon God Cult been identified?”
The young interrogator answered.
“We have already completed our investigation. “They were digging into His Holiness’s past, but it doesn’t seem like they were seeing any gains.”
Even demonic believers were unable to determine his birth. A baby alone in a chapel. That was about it.
Iden opened his mouth.
“Let’s go somewhere for a while.”
After saying that, Iden left the basement and headed to the chapel in front. Several believers, including Fenrir, followed him inside.
Even the humanized Fenrir was still feared, so people kept their distance from him.
Iden looked down at the white tiger.
“Where is it?”
“Behind the podium over there.”
It was a place where I was abandoned when I was a baby.
The moment I approached and checked, the Shinwiju it was holding began to glow. A ray of light stretched out and touched the wall.
A deformed calculation encroaching on the chapel. It was all too familiar to Aiden’s eyes.
Because it was a phenomenon that appeared when creating a character. Immediately after, each technique burned brightly and slowly spit out familiar appearances.
There were twelve intelligent beings. They looked nothing alike and had only one thing in common.
It was true that it was Yoo Ji-tae’s past.
The dots he raised had never reached the ending. However, some of them were among the strongest in one episode.
Such efforts have turned into reality.
They all opened their eyes at once.
Southern Unexplored Continent Route Dragoon Bentham opened his mouth.
“I took on the role of head of the heavenly army.”
It was Yoo Ji-tae who came closest to clearing.
