Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 251

Episode 251 The king created a new treatment.

The king worships the devil.

At first, facts and nonsense were spread separately.

The king borrowed the power of the devil to create a cure.

However, soon the two were combined, creating a rumor that only made people laugh.

“Your Majesty. At the moment, it is just a rumor raised by a few patients in this area, but if you keep leaving the priests alone, it will soon spread like a fait accompli.”

Even without the concerned advice of his subjects, the problem with the priesthood had to be resolved.

The priests’ protest(?) had already been going on for three days, and thanks to this, the treatment of the plague, which was thought to have found a way out, was once again sluggish.

In the end, Logan tried to negotiate with their representative.

“Bishop Ilia. Let’s talk.”

However, the conversation with Ilya was not that easy from the beginning.

“I will listen here. Please speak, Your Majesty.”

“…Is that okay? It’s about the blasphemy you mentioned. It’s a sensitive matter…”

It was just an excuse to keep other priests from joining the conversation, but he wouldn’t be able to refuse.

As expected, Ilya twitched her eyebrows once and then nodded with a heavy face, and Logan was able to talk to Ilya alone in his barracks.

“Why do you serve God?”

Ilya’s face crumpled at that question.

“…Your Majesty. Are you now going to blatantly blaspheme?”

“Oh, that’s not it. I’m just curious why you became a priest.”

Ilya, who had a complicated expression on her face at those words, quickly shook her head quietly.

“…It seems like a story that goes against the topic of our conversation right now, doesn’t it?”

“Hmm, that was rude. Well, then, let’s get straight to the point. Actually, I was disappointed in the bishop.”

Ilya’s pretty eyes become distorted again.

“A saint from the slums. The only bishop whose name the residents of the capital know. I believed that a bishop who cares and loves his subjects would understand what I want to do.”

“There is no priest who would understand breaking the taboos of the temple, Your Majesty.”

“Bishop Ilya, which do you consider more important: breaking temple taboos or following God’s words?”

Was it too obvious what he was aiming for?

Ilya’s face hardened a little more.

“…Your Majesty’s words are wrong. There are taboos in order to follow God’s words.”

“I was wondering if the temple was setting the scope of the taboo too broadly.”

“Like I said! Taboos were created to fully follow God’s word!”

“Does it mean I can’t follow God’s words just to protect a superficial taboo?!”

“That is sophistry…!”

“It’s not sophistry, it’s reality! Bishop! Isn’t that what you are doing now?”

“Your Majesty, you are speaking too much!”

“Didn’t you ignore God’s words to save your subjects and stop your relief efforts by obsessing over the taboo? The people you were supposed to save were collapsing and dying in front of your eyes, but you were only following the taboo!!”

Ilya flinched at the outburst of shouting.

“So, do you have the right to call it sophistry, Ilya? Are you really a priest who follows the word of God?”

Logan could clearly see Ilia’s expression shaking now, but she did not back down easily.

“If Your Majesty lifts the taboo, I and the priesthood will faithfully continue following God’s word again.”

“So, can we save the people who are sick and dying?”

“Do your best…!”

“Can you do your best to save it? Bishop Ilya! I could give up right now if you and the temple were so sure!”

Logan’s shout shook Ilya again.

“So swear on your conscience and faith. Doing your best isn’t enough. Can you put down this plague!? If you tell me you can risk it all, I’ll gladly give up.”

The wide red eyes stared as if they were digging into Illya’s blue eyes.

‘It would be different for this woman. A saint from the slums. A bishop who is not like a bishop.’

As Logan had expected, Illya’s face only became a little more blurred and she was unable to respond easily.

After thinking for a while, she opened her mouth.

“…I will risk my position as bishop to request additional support from the temple. If satisfactory support is not provided, then… I will reconsider.”

It’s not an answer I like very much, but it’s the best answer.

“…Let’s look forward to the temple’s support.”

With Logan’s sarcastic reply, the deer blood treatment was temporarily halted.

“Bishop Ilya persuaded His Majesty!”

“also!”

“We must follow God’s words.”

The elated priests also began their healing activities again.

After three days like that.

“How could this happen…!”

Illya’s hand trembled slightly as she held the same message from the temple as before.

‘I conveyed my message so earnestly.’

There was no way to immediately complain to the archbishop because they did not even support a telecommunications network under the pretext of a lack of budget.

If we correspond again, another week will pass by. Moreover, even if I asked for support again, I doubted whether it would make sense.

Above all, it was clear that the king would not wait for that time.

However, if the priests’ treatment is stopped again, what will happen to the people who will die because of it?

“God… what should I do with this weak servant?”

Tears flowed from her tightly closed eyes, and a prayer spontaneously flowed from her mouth as she knelt down.

“To my all-embracing Lord…”

Under the unusually bright moonlight, Ilya went through countless agony while reciting the prayer that had protected her heart for over twenty years.

– The subjects you need to save are collapsing and dying right in front of your eyes, and all you do is keep taboo!!

– Are you really a priest who follows the word of God?

The king’s shout is still vivid in my ears.

The faces of the people who died while protesting against the king.

– You can never sit idly by! This is blasphemy, Bishop!

The faces of priests talking about taboos.

He harassed her endlessly.

How much time has passed like that?

When the flowing tears dry up and light blood begins to flow from the corners of the eyes.

[When our Lord came to the world, the calm sea embraced everything and spit out all the life in the world, changing the world. It would be natural for all that life to flow back into the sea and return to the Lord. Embrace and change are one; they are all the will of our Lord.]

Scripture of Amunda, god of the sea and change. That first phrase suddenly enlightened her.

‘Eventually, taboos must be changed if necessary. In everything, God’s will to save his subjects must take precedence.’

However, that bishop was ignoring his subjects using the taboo created by humans as an excuse.

“Indeed, my sin is great…”

A comfortable smile appeared on the lips of Illya, who had come to realization despite the tears of blood flowing down her face, and behind her, a halo that rivaled the moonlight in the night sky spread softly.

And the next day.

Ilya went straight to Logan.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

He said hello, but the inside of the barracks where the king lived was already covered in deer blood.

It seems that the king, who heard about the temple’s intentions, immediately resumed the deer blood treatment.

The sight of the people’s faces, all distorted as they drank in the foul blood, hurt her eyes.

‘These are all my sins…’

Logan, who interpreted Ilya’s hardened face in a negative way, opened his mouth with a harder expression.

“I have heard the temple’s intention. No matter what you say, we will resume treatment using deer blood. No, we have already resumed. There are more than 100 deer that have entered the village, and the food they are feeding is also becoming a problem. Please respond accordingly. “I won’t say anything. Just don’t bother me with devil worship or anything.”

“…how much.”

“hmm?”

“How effective is deer blood?”

Ilya asked while avoiding Logan’s gaze as she poured divine power into the girl drinking deer blood inside the barracks.

But that action alone was enough to convey the message.

A smile appeared on Logan’s stern face.

“One bowl has a similar effect to that of a low-level priest’s holy magic treatment. After using it a few times, it is as effective as your own treatment.”

“…I will support you.”

After finishing his explanation with a faint smile, Logan finally received the answer he expected.

“Please leave it to me to persuade the priests.”

“Yes. Please, Bishop Ilya.”

Of course, the priests did not easily accept the resumption of deer blood treatment.

“Absolutely not!”

“desecration…!”

As if it was natural, backlash erupted here and there, but this time the situation was different.

“We have been interpreting the taboos of the temple too extensively. Animal blood, not human blood, is not taboo. I will guarantee this on my position as bishop!”

Ilya, who was at the forefront of opposing deer blood treatment, was now persuading the priests.

“So…”

“Bishop…?”

“Can’t you see the groaning subjects? The first thing we need to think about is taking care of the subjects according to God’s word!”

When Ilya said that, she was smiling brightly, as if she had shaken off all internal conflict.

And at that moment, a mysterious halo began to shine behind her.

It was a sight that made even some priests who had been shouting about temple taboos widen their eyes.

“Oh my lord…!”

“I will do as you say.”

The fact that the halo, which was said to appear the moment a high-ranking priest’s divine power was maximized, appeared naturally meant that the priest’s words at that moment were fully in line with God’s will.

of course.

‘I don’t know what happened, but my divine power increased significantly in an instant. Because my body wasn’t used to it, I could see it leaking out…’

For Logan, who could even see the cause of the halo, it was something that made him just tilt his head.

However, Logan said that a good thing is a good thing, and he had no intention of talking about the cause.

However, even though such a miraculous event occurred, there were people who expressed opposition to Illya’s will.

“…You must keep the bishop’s word that he will take responsibility.”

Priest Fabian was surprised to see the halo, but he did not hesitate to say a word.

In addition, Illya’s guard, Teemo, also approached her with a worried face and whispered to her.

“Bishop. It could be an issue at the temple. The kingdom is already paying attention to the main body because of ‘that problem’, but if you do something wrong, you will be indicted for heresy…” “

I will take responsibility, so don’t worry.”

“Bishop!”

Teemo bit her lip as she looked at Ilia’s stern expression, but her decision did not change.

“Priests, be faithful to your original duty of saving your subjects!!”

Due to her firm attitude, not only Timo but also Fabian had no choice but to back down.

however.

‘That guy…’

Logan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Fabian, a fat priest full of greed.

I could see that he was someone who would cause trouble at any time.

‘It’s not a matter for me to touch.’

Now was not the time to cause trouble because of a guy like that.

“The priests’ treatment is combined with the treatment using deer blood! Everyone, start the relief work again!”

Logan, who had suppressed his disapproval, shouted, and the village began to liven up again.

“Is this really okay to drink?”

“Priest Sa said it was okay?”

“Next door, Greg. “I heard you’re already healed.”

“Isn’t that right? Then…”

Patients who had insisted that they would rather die and go to heaven also drank deer blood one by one.

Of course, among them, there were some faithful(?) people who still stubbornly held on.

“I would rather die and go to heaven… Kueh!? Abv?”

“Don’t make a fuss. Bite your tongue. ruler! Just throw these guys in your mouth like this!”

Logan took the lead and grabbed the patient’s oozing face and poured deer blood into his mouth. Other knights also began to force feed blood to those who refused treatment. .

The sight of the village where relief work had begun again was extremely bizarre.

Sugak said,

“There’s a lot of deer blood over there. “Put it carefully so it doesn’t spill on the floor!”

Behind the eerie scene of knights cutting off the neck of a dragged deer, soldiers receiving the blood pouring out, and people drinking the blood.

“God!”

The voices of priests repeatedly calling for God echo. Holy method treatment was being carried out in parallel. It

was a truly bizarre sight that did not fit at all.

However, such two-way treatment began to show clear effects within a few days.

“There are far more people who have recovered than new cases!”

“All the fallen soldiers and doctors are in good spirits. I’ve prepared it!”

The clearly brighter atmosphere and the decreasing number of sick people brought a smile to Logan’s face.

Moreover,

“If I find a more reliable mixing method, I think I can make a cure using deer blood as the main ingredient. If successful, even if the same plague breaks out again, early suppression will be possible!”

Following Gilbert’s hopeful report, Logan was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

– His Majesty the King and the relief team are suppressing the plague.

The treatment was successful. As the process progressed, the nobles and people who had been anxious about the spreading plague until recently were able to let go of their worries.

In addition,

“The king himself…?”

“I just thought he was a tyrant…. ”

“no way. I guess you made it up.”

“But it’s true that you stayed in the village where the plague spread, right?”

As rumors about him spread throughout the kingdom, the evaluation of King Logan gradually changed.

* * * In one place under the direct control of the royal family, 10,000 More than 100 people were looking at the huge stone gate with nervous eyes.

“Really?”

“Is this really going to happen?”

One day, many years ago, at the McLane estate, the workers were swallowing dry saliva and staring at the stone gate.

Just like that.

With a loud noise, the huge stone gate rose and a stream of water poured into the waterway dug in the dry wasteland.

“It’s water!”

“Really…!?”

“This is happening?!”

“Everyone worked hard. By order of His Majesty the King, we will grant preferential tenancy rights to this land to the families of the workers who participated in the reclamation work!”

Everyone was dazed for a moment, and then a shout filled with magic rang out.

“Long live Your Majesty the King!

” Long live Logan McLane!”

“Wow!”

Immediately, a huge cheer erupted. It was still just a cheer from a corner of the royal territory, but it was enough to put a bright smile on Logan’s face when he heard the report.

“Big shout.

All the hurdles have been overcome. So now…”

His fist was clenched.

The young light in Logan’s red eyes burning more and more intensely as he looked into the future.

Now that the plague is effectively controlled thanks to the activities of the relief team, there is no need to do anything else. Priests who are struggling in the region cannot be dispatched.
