The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 178
nature.
nature.
A mass of irregular flesh wriggling through the glass wall. The old man was looking at it with such lovely eyes that a weak spleen would cling to it just by looking at it.
Deep wrinkles on the face. It was hard to dare to guess the years that would lie beyond the withered skin.
“Soon soon. Finally… God is on this earth…”
Moist tears formed and fell on the dry eyes. The old man took out a soft handkerchief from his bosom and wiped his eyes.
thud.
A knock on the door. The old man turned and headed for the door. at a pace that is neither slow nor fast. very naturally.
When the old man arrived at the door, the door moved itself like a living creature to clear the way for the old man to pass.
“Havas-nim!”
As soon as the door opened, the man prostrated himself deeply and called the old man’s name. The name of one of the six prophets who lead the libertio.
Havas of blind faith smiled softly.
“What happened… No, let’s go inside and talk. come in.”
When the old man turned his back and disappeared into the room, the man got up and followed him. Soon, he faced an irregular piece of flesh visible from a distance and sent awe-inspiring glances.
“This is what it is…”
“Yes, it is the vessel for the descent of God. though still incomplete. Would you like a cup of tea? There is only one kind of tea.”
“If you give me a drink, I will be grateful.”
“Then wait a moment.”
The old man raised the tea with a very relaxed gesture and began brewing.
“Just because I drank everything I boiled. wait a little bit Were the words you were trying to convey to me urgent? Then listen now.”
The man pondered briefly, but soon realized that the subject he was trying to bring up was for persuasion, and decided to wait for the car.
“no. Let’s talk over tea.”
“okay. Wait a minute.”
The old man’s benevolent voice and way of speaking resembled that of an old man who welcomed a grandchild. To the extent that he is not worthy of the six prophets leading the libertio.
The man made up his mind to let loose. Havas of blind faith, whom he had been introduced to, was someone who accepted aging simply because it was natural, even though he was able to resist aging on his own.
naturalness. It was a value that Havas put above all else.
Havas believed that if God exists, it is perfectly natural for them to walk on this land as well. I believed that it was also natural for an insignificant human being to serve a god in the lofty heavens.
widely.
“Thank you for waiting. As for tea, it takes a little bit of waiting to enjoy it. Listen.”
Tea in a wooden tea cup. The tea that Havas brought in was fragrant. The man admired the sweetness that brushed the tip of his nose.
“Thank you, I will drink.”
soft throat. The man didn’t know much about cars, but he thought that this car must be of a very rare type.
“Then, would it be alright to hear why you came here?”
“yes.”
The man swallowed his saliva. In fact, he never imagined that he would be able to face these six prophets directly when he complained to his superiors. This was both a crisis and an opportunity. The man calmed his quivering heart.
“Recently.”
The old man took a sip of tea leisurely and smiled. It’s as if you’re telling me everything you want to say. The man brought out his true heart with a more comfortable mind.
“The damage from the dragon brother and sister is getting bigger and bigger.”
“Ohh. is it?”
“yes. We are constantly preparing new shelters, but as you know, there is a limit to that as long as we are only making them in the capital city.”
“Right.”
The old man nodded and closed his wrinkled eyes.
“So what would you like me to do?”
“I would like you to allow us to fight back. The current scale of damage is due to the directive to retreat unconditionally and not to face each other when a dragon brother and sister attack. If you allow me to fight back, I will definitely decapitate the two of them and offer the honor to Havas.”
“Hmm…”
The old man sank deeply into his chair and fell into silence. The man who had said everything patiently waited for the prophet’s answer.
“Right. It happened. You guys who work on the front line are working hard.”
The story seemed to be going well. The moment I thought the man was good at protesting to his boss. Havas continued.
“But do you really think that glory exists around the necks of those two lizards?”
“yes?”
“What do we gain by killing them both? It’s going to be tough, but if you guys cut off the heads of those two dragons. Will the Demon Dragon King really stand still?”
Havas took a sip of the tea. A warm liquid bathed his parched throat.
“Everybody knows that he doesn’t think much of his children, but it’s not a matter of love, it’s a matter of pride as a king. Do you think that the Demon Dragon King will not move even though the sons and daughters sent to other countries have disappeared?”
The man risked rudeness and spat out a rebuttal.
“…but the damage is getting too much.”
“I understand how you feel. So can you bear with me for a little while?”
The old man’s eyes turned to the squirming flesh beyond the glass wall.
“God’s vessel will be completed soon. If a god descended on this earth, wouldn’t he treat us with admiration and resolve our difficulties in a clever way?”
“How much longer do we have to wait?”
It could have been a rude question, but Havas just smiled softly.
“You have so many questions. Maybe that’s why I came here. come back slowly I have already told you everything I have to say to you. I have planted everything I have to plant.”
what to plant? The man questioned the words he did not understand.
“Did you plant it?”
Havas tapped his head with his wrinkled fingers.
“Didn’t you drink the tea I brought you? The seeds in the tea must have settled in your head.”
“yes?!”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry. Now, if you disobey your superior or try to divulge information about this place, the seeds in your head will germinate and eat your brain.”
“That kind of…”
The old man’s eyes were very warm. Just like the first time you met him.
“I told you to send me here if anyone wants to go against my will. In the first place, there are only two types of people who come here: those I called myself and those I never called. I always serve tea to the latter.”
“It’s too much!!! This is such an unfair treatment!!!”
Havas widened his eyes. Although the worshipers of evil gods were full of unruly people, few could scream loudly even with their lifelines in mortgage.
“You are very courageous. Then, as a senior in life, I will give you some lessons.”
Right.
“Ouch?!”
With a brisk snap of his fingers, the man collapsed to the floor with bubbles in his mouth. An uncontrollable pain ran through his body. The most painful thing of all was that I couldn’t even lose my mind at will.
“Think carefully. What would happen if the eagerly running rabbit complained to the wolf? Without thinking, the rabbit is swallowed into the wolf’s huge mouth. Nature is like that. The underdog always has to choose carefully where his voice is directed. You are lucky in that respect. Didn’t I live because I was a human, not a bloodthirsty beast?”
“Keep… kuk… please… step… let’s… rain…”
Havas, who had blind faith, tucked his tongue and shook his head.
“It hurts. Just stay like that until I finish drinking this tea.”
The old man drank the remaining tea while listening to the man’s moans. very relaxed and slow.

“Then we go to the streets where blacksmiths gather. I will be back by evening.”
“Have a good trip Yuna.”
Master said he would pick out a sword himself to replace the broken frost steel sword, and Cardisho said he would get a set of armor before confronting the worshipers of the evil god. So the two separated from us and headed to the street where there were smithies.
Khadisho seemed to feel a strange sense of closeness and respect from Master, who had been single for a long time, but Master Pridiya, who lived by the flow of everything, didn’t seem to have any special thoughts on the subject of being single.
Pearly said he would stay on the ship and rest. Probably because of her personality, she will move other dolls to take care of her work.
Tergio, our steel friend… decided to stay on the ship because it was certain that he would receive a flurry of attention from the gold people passing by if he got off the ship.
“It seems that the contact I put in the guild of Priest Marnak reached. I’m coming to meet you.”
As Dacia said, a luxurious chariot pulled by four pairs of horses stopped in front of us along the road. The driver who got off the carriage bowed his head towards us.
“Get on. Let me guide you to the top.”
“Wow…”
Jamel exclaimed in admiration as he clung to the large wagon.
“I have never seen such a large and luxurious carriage! Could it be that all the yellow and shiny things on the outside are real gold?!”
“yes. you’re right.”
“Wow, ah …”
“Then ride. I will make you feel comfortable.”
The coachman opened the carriage door and politely invited. Jamel was very much in love with the large and expensive-looking wagon, so he didn’t know it would fall.
“It looks really expensive… that’s why it’s even cooler…”
“Hey. Stop trembling and get on quickly. hurry!”
“Ah Okay.”
At Giselle’s urging, Jamel finally got on the carriage, carrying the bundle she had dropped on the ground on her shoulder.
“I will depart.”
The carriage was very cozy and comfortable. Even when the carriage started, not even the slightest rattling was felt.
Jamel stared at his bundle and threw a question at Dakia.
“Even if I sell all of this, I won’t be able to buy this wagon…?”
“maybe…? A wagon like this is probably not a ready-made item, but a custom-made item. In addition, there must be relics and relics to alleviate shock and defend. I honestly can’t get enough of the stuff in that bag.”
“Ah…”
Until this carriage arrived, Jamel’s eyes, which had been shining as if looking at the most precious thing in the world, lost their light whenever he looked at the bundle.
“No chin… This is… the gap between the real rich and the poor… too big…”
Dakia panicked as Jamel was so visibly depressed.
“If you collect Jamel one by one, you will be able to buy a carriage like this one day! Absolutely!”
“Really…? Is that true?”
Giselle, who was sitting next to me watching the scene, smiled mischievously.
“I know that? If you look at this carriage, is it the same as the one next to you?”
“…”
Jamel silently sat at a distance from Dacia and looked out the window of the carriage. with melancholy eyes.
“Jamel…?”
“Today, for some reason, I feel a lot of distance from Dakia… Is this really a deceit of rich people… When I was showing off my bundle to Dakia, Dakia must have been laughing at me inwardly…
” why are you laughing And the really important thing is that money can’t buy it.”
“There is nothing money can’t buy!”
Jamel puckered his lips at Dakia’s appeasement.
“If you look closely at this big and fancy carriage, you can buy it with money!”
Dacia patted Jamel and opened her mouth.
“I believe that no matter how much money you have, you cannot buy relationships between people with money. Relationships bought with money just disappear without money. Besides, I consider Jamel a true friend. I never laugh or laugh inwardly.”
“Really…?”
“sure. Ah, can I buy you a present when you reach the top?”
“hurray! Long live Dacia! Praise Dacia!!!”
As always, Jamel’s mood was relieved in an instant, but the other side of me was uncomfortable for some reason.
Didn’t that just buy a relationship with money…?
***
“I have arrived.”
As soon as we got off the carriage, a plump man burst out from the large upper building with a big smile.
“Hi go!!! Princess, are you here!!!”
The chubby middle-aged man with a handsome beard bowed deeply toward Dakia. Dacia smiled softly.
“How have you been, Mr. Rekkles?”
“Thanks to the Princess, I’m always doing well! oh look at my mind Making the Princess and her companions stand like this! Let’s go inside for a detailed introduction! Hurry up and follow me! This Rekkles will guide you!”
Contrary to expectations, Rekkles, the owner of the Rekkles Merchant Merchant, was a very friendly and friendly man.
As we followed him into the upper building, we heard a familiar voice from somewhere.
“hey! You just ran out here, right? No, when I asked to see you, you didn’t show your nose once… Dakia…?”
A handsome man with bright yellow hair walking along came to a halt.
Batis Draco, the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom, gazed blankly at Dakia and met my eyes. His eyes came out and quickly scanned the group.
“You Marnak…”
he shouted, not hiding his apparent hostility.
“Dachia is there, but she is still wearing a lot of women!!! Are you even human?!”
Rekkles asked Dacia with bewildered eyes.
“Did you know the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom?”
Dacia shook her head.
“…I don’t know anyone so rude. I don’t even want to know.”
“What?!”
“Go up quickly. Before you bother me more.”
“yes.”
We left the wounded man behind and headed to the guest room at the top.
