Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 133
Episode 133:
Holy Kingdom Atra.
Inside the St. Hall, the residence of St. Kaleyna.
Saint Hall is normally considered a solemn and reverent place, but not today.
“The resurrection of the devil! What an absurd thing to say! “Do you really believe what they say?”
“But isn’t that completely nonsense? “In fact, the monsters’ behavior is unusual.”
“Isn’t that just speculation and not accurate evidence? “If we are swayed by lies, many people will laugh at us.”
A church informant who monitored the Bertio duchy.
However, the informant’s whereabouts disappeared, so the Luna Church dispatched an additional informant to Malobon, where the Duke’s family was located.
So the Luna Church heard about what happened in the east belatedly.
Immediately, high-ranking clergy were summoned and a meeting was held regarding this.
Among them, Saint Kaleina is located at the head of the table.
Although the meeting was urgently convened in the name of the archbishop, she did not open her mouth even as the meeting was in full swing.
Just as always, without the slightest hesitation or change in expression, he remains aloof from the affairs of the world, as if he were alone and noble.
I just watch people with a noble attitude.
“We need to understand the truth of the incident in more detail.”
“What on earth are the informants in the East doing?”
The clergy gathered at St. Hall were disputing whether what happened in Bertio was true or false.
The reason these issues were not easily resolved was because the informant planted in Malobon had lost contact and there was no more detailed information.
“Considering Bertio’s influence on the East, it’s not surprising.”
“you’re right. However, the words of the nobles who are believers of the church cannot be ignored. “Not only the eastern nobles, but other nobles are saying the same thing.”
One of the priests commented thoughtfully.
He wanted to believe that the mercenary’s words were lies, but he couldn’t ignore this incident.
This is because other countries except for the Luna Church have shown moves to prepare for the resurrection of the Demon King, so the Church cannot tolerate this incident.
Although others nodded in agreement, there were quite a few priests who shook their heads as if this was nonsense.
“Are you saying that you literally believe what the nobles who were incited?”
“All countries are gathering their armies. And they want to hear confirmation about whether our Luna Church will participate in the war.”
“Why should we care about something that won’t happen?”
“According to what the mercenary said, Acrich is plotting an evil plan in a hidden area within the demon realm located at the eastern end.”
“Are you just scared by something like a lich? If a problem arises, it can be resolved at that time.”
“Not ‘just’ a lychee! “Acrich!”
“There’s no need to wait for the worst, is there? “I think it would be better to simply dispatch a heresy inquisitor and protect the faith of the church.”
“If we send the Heretic Questioner, what about other regions? “Who will fill their empty space?”
“Then what are you going to do? If the signs of the Demon King’s resurrection were really true, all countries would criticize us. “Why not send at least a few?”
“How many Inquisitors are you sending? There are only 100 Inquisitors guarding the entire continent. “They have a lot to worry about, even if it’s not about the East.”
“Then let’s call in the five swords. “One of them is equivalent to an army.”
“Aren’t they the ones who are driven by our decisions? “That part is for the saint to decide.”
A dispute over whether or not to send Luna Church troops to the east.
The assembled clergy were divided into equal parts and engaged in a heated argument.
One side wants to dispatch the Luna Church to the east in case what the mercenaries say is true.
The other side was that it was clear that the mercenary’s words were lies, so they did not want to respond.
As the opinions of both sides were fiercely contested and showed no signs of ending, a cardinal from the Luna Church who held the position of elder stood up.
“Lower your voice. “I hope you don’t forget that this is the sacred Saint’s Hall.”
“But Cardinal Bell…”
One of the priests tried to continue in response to Cardinal Bell’s words, but fell silent as he noticed Kaleyna watching them in silence.
The cardinal, who instantly calmed down the room, slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s not a matter of whether or not you believe the word that the Demon King will be resurrected.”
“yes? But…as I said before, the monsters’ behavior is unusual. There are already more than one country asking for help from the denomination.”
In response to the cardinal’s words, one of the priests who strongly insisted on preparing for the devil cautiously opened his mouth.
“Judgement of the evil in the world. “It is something we must do…”
The cardinal began to slowly look at everyone except the saint.
“You really don’t think the Holy Sword in Malovon is real, do you?”
“Of course.”
Although the clergy present were also occupying the same space, they could not help but feel intimidated by Cardinal Bell’s interrogative manner.
“Of course, I also think there is no harm in being careful. But there’s no way the mercenary’s holy sword is real…”
Cardinal Bell approached Kaleyna, who had been watching in silence.
“We will only follow Goddess Luna’s will.”
Cardinal Bell speaks to the saint with utmost courtesy.
This does not only apply to saints.
Kaleina is the only being who can contact Luna.
It was as if Cardinal Bell, who could not see the goddess directly, was speaking to her indirectly.
“….”
At this, Kaleyna, who had been scanning the crowd like Cardinal Bell, folded her noble hands and closed her eyes.
Woooooung –
A ring-shaped halo rises from behind Kaleina and shines brightly.
The blue-silver glow that could only be seen in sacred paintings seemed to mean that Kaleina was talking to the goddess Luna.
“Oooh! “Goddess.”
“Forgive my rudeness.”
All the clergy gathered in the Saint Hall, including the cardinal, got up from their chairs and knelt on the floor.
Giving an oracle to a saint is by no means common.
This meant that Luna also considered this matter to be important, and the priests worshiped her presence even though they could not hear or see her in person.
Luna’s brilliance is sacred but has a cold feel to it.
The divine power and Luna’s brilliance emanating from Kaleyna’s body stayed in the Saint Hall for a long time, and eventually Kaleina opened her eyes.
“Cardinal Bell.”
“yes.”
The Cardinal raised his head at Kaleyna’s cold voice.
The cardinal’s heart was pounding so hard at the fact that he could hear the oracle for the first time.
“Send the people I named to the East right now.”
“yes.”
Despite the cardinal’s trustworthy response, Kaleina did not continue speaking immediately.
Are you thinking about the oracle given by God and what will happen in the future?
Or is he questioning the oracle given by the goddess?
But the cardinal and the clergy at St. Hall never thought the latter would be the case.
Because just thinking about it is an insult to the God they believe in.
And urging Kaleyna to speak is also distrust and blasphemy towards her and God.
Therefore, the cardinal did not urge or express any questions until Kaleyna opened her mouth.
Soon, the name that was to be called before fell out of Kaleyna’s mouth.
Aldur Filgrey, the owner of the Magic Tower and the five swords.
Elfinelud, the five swords found in the Southern Elven Forest.
And…
“Galetto Houndstooth in the South. That is all.”
* * *
St. Hall was empty after a long meeting.
Was Luna’s revelation not over?
Luna’s brilliance, assimilated with the divine power that Kaleina had just unleashed, flashed several times.
Kaleyna, who was standing alone, paid no heed to the flickering light and still maintained an undisturbed posture.
“Dio…”
Kaleina quietly muttered Dio’s name.
Then the light stopped blinking, which seemed to represent her complicated nerves.
Even as Kaleina, I couldn’t understand Dio’s actions at all.
A holy sword.
There’s no way that’s a real holy sword.
But what if it’s real?
Would a mercenary who has so far avoided the eyes of the church and himself incite people with such flimsy lies?
He was the one who had been hiding all this time. I certainly didn’t think his actions were just lies.
Of the five swords, as many as three were assigned to this mission.
Has the Luna Church ever had anything like this while working?
It would be surprising if only two of the five swords came together, but it is unprecedented for three to come together on one mission.
Nevertheless, those who gathered at St. Hall did not have the slightest doubt.
Because this is the will of the goddess.
Goddess Luna took this matter seriously and made her choice.
Whether it’s the resurrection of the Demon King or the Holy Sword, we decided to put everything aside and just confirm the existence of Dio.
“It won’t go your way.”
Kaleyna’s message to Dio, who could not have been heard, rang hollowly in the Saint Hall.
* * *
Arandal, the largest southern diocese of the Luna Church.
A large man covered in blood appeared in the cathedral of Arandal.
Even though it was warm weather, steam could be seen coming from his body.
It looked absolutely out of place in the sacred cathedral, but the priests couldn’t say anything to the man.
Instead, he urgently called the man, as if he had been waiting for him.
“Mr. Galletto!”
“okay. “The Holy Kingdom called me?”
Galleto Houndstooth, who Dio thought was probably dead.
He seemed to have already heard the news, so he took the letter handed to him without much thought.
A letter with Kaleyna’s seal.
Galletto read the letter quickly and soon showed signs of excitement.
Galletto is a person who is not interested in the work of the church.
Nevertheless, this time, he could not hide his joy at the fact that the saint had called him.
“at las.”
Galletto massaged his sore shoulders from not being able to escape from the South for a while.
The reason why he stayed in southern Arandal and hunted the surrounding monsters.
This is because Galeto was placed on probation as punishment for misbehaving in the North and suffering serious injuries.
To put it bluntly, it was a serious injury, but to be precise, Galleto literally survived from death.
The northern city of Estellum.
And the werewolf we encountered in Kalekh Forest.
It was Galletto’s first defeat, but he wasn’t upset about it.
Rather, Galletto was happy and looked forward to the day when they would meet again, reliving that day’s defeat.
And now.
Galletto sensed that the time he had been waiting for had come.
‘Dio… He is the man named Monte that the church was looking for.’
An unidentified mercenary who was wanted by the church.
Gallito grinned at the saint’s order to catch him in the East at all costs.
Galeto is not interested in the brat with whom he briefly competed in Kalech Forest.
Even if it’s not you who is the one, others will take care of it.
The only things Galetto is interested in are werewolves…and the many powerful people he has yet to meet.
In addition, there is even a being called Acrich of the Demonic World.
Galeto assured that if he headed east, he would encounter many powerful people, including that werewolf.
‘Everyone, just wait. I won’t be defeated so easily this time.’
