According to Priest nder, the reason he joined Seneran was because of a revelation from the saintess.
Of course, I thought it would be sothing like the exiled priest of the Imperial Holy Church, but I didn’t expect sothing like a revelation to intervene. There was no reaction from Master and Seneran, as if the conversation had already ended, but rather, the reaction raised questions.
“Why are you asking that? Your employer is Seneran.”
“That I don’t know either.”
“yes?”
What do you an? As my expression beca bizarre, Seneran next to opened his mouth to explain further.
“It’s been like that since the first contract. Priest nder will help, but when a certain situation cos, Eldmia, you’ll have to judge the intervention of Saint Deoni.”
“…From what you say, it sounds like you knew you’d be in this situation?”
“I thought so too. I think I’ve received a revelation, so I asked if it would be better to co directly without hassle.”
However, the answer that ca back was a refusal.
“‘This is what revelation is like.’ The saintess answered like that. I’m not particularly interested in theology, so I don’t know how that could be.”
“Haha, don’t worry. We, who have dedicated ourselves to theology, always feel that way.”
Revelation is always like that? But were you helping so calmly haha hoho? Priest nder, who had a friendly smile, shrugged lightly, perhaps sensing my questioning gaze.
“How can a re mortal fully comprehend the will of a god?”
I think the reason why this friend was dispatched here is because of his flirtatious personality… As they said, even if I passed this vague and suspicious situation roughly, my situation did not change.
If you get caught by the kingdom army, in the worst case, you could end up as a saintess who died while smuggling for the first ti in history. What kind of revelation did you receive that led you to do that?
“…First of all, I think I’ll have to look at the reason I ca here and make a decision. Will you be okay?”
“Of course. The saintess also said to follow Eldmia-sama’s judgnt, but you didn’t say when.”
nder nodded happily and gestured to lead the way, and Master and Seneran also started walking inside the temple, following him. We briefly exchanged glances and followed them.
Inside, spheres made of magic were arranged like torches at regular intervals, so it was not inconvenient to move. There were a lot of collapsed stones on the floor, so it seed like Leica was suffering a little, but that was all.
As Seneran’s other hired n distanced themselves from each other, Priest nder, who was walking in the lead, slowly got lucky.
“I’m going to explain the situation on the way, but how far have you heard from Seneran?”
“I’ve heard that you’re trying to determine if I’ve been affected by the Relic.”
“That’s right. Now I need to tell you how to check.”
While saying that, Priest nder stroked his chin for a mont, and at first glance, he seed to be thinking about how to easily explain this.
“Well, first of all, can you guess why we were able to notice the existence of a relic that didn’t already exist?”
“I heard that the stronger the holy relic, the more divine power remains like a kind of reverberation. Didn’t you notice that based on that?”
“Yes. Divine power, unlike magical power that exists naturally in the world, is an artificial or divine phenonon, so the stronger it is, the darker the traces are left. It temporarily becos a deity.”
Unlike the sanctuary where beneficial effects such as the amplification of the holy law occur, the sanctuary is the target of vigilance no matter how good it is. No, to put it emphatically, it is a dangerous zone.
A person faints with only a small amount of direct exposure to divinity right now, so it can’t be beneficial for mortals to have a deity that spreads the effect over a wide area.
“I’ve heard that all the priesthoods left in history have had bad consequences.”
“You are well-inford. Indeed, they are valuable reminders that, just as too much of anything can be poison, even the rcy of the gods can be poison to us who are weak.”
That is why the gods who love creatures indirectly intervene in the world. It is also the reason why the ti when evil gods who didn’t care about that was overflowing was chaos itself.
It’s common sense, but since there are people who lack common sense in any world, it seems that Priest nder really liked the fact that I knew these stories.
“Anyway, that’s why it’s much easier to tell the difference between mana and magic. To put it simply, it’s the difference between mixing water with water and mixing ink with water.”
“…Electrons are divine power.”
At my words, Priest nder nodded and replied satisfactorily.
“To be precise, it is the divine power that contains the strong will of God.”
One of the things I learned while studying is that magic leaves ‘habits’ in various forms.
It is like a fingerprint of so kind. The possibility of having the sa fingerprint is not completely impossible, but just like it is extrely rare, so is magic. And if the magic that unfolds based on the habit remains on top of the natural state of magic, it becos difficult to trace who used the magic because the trace gradually changes over ti. As Priest nder said, the difference between water and ink is the sa.
But God is different.
Since they are transcendent beings who have already attained perfection, their traces are always the sa. Whether it’s a trace from 10 years ago or a trace from 100 years ago, if you compare it, it’s always the sa.
“The relics here are…although it’s just speculation, it’s likely to be from the age of mythology, the ti when the evil gods ruled, or even older. Even the gods can’t understand how weak mortals are. It was a ti when it was not clear whether we had to intervene until then, so especially powerful holy relics appeared. The relics kept by the Imperial Spiritual Assembly are like that too.”
“That’s why you thought that even the warriors would be able to hold it.”
“Yes. It’s a blasphemous statent, but I have no doubt that it has such power.”
As soon as nder’s answer ended, the long corridor also ended, revealing a round pupil. It’s not that I haven’t seen many temples, but it was a very unique structure when I compared it with all the mories of my previous life.
“It’s more like an altar for sealing rather than a temple, right?”
I reflexively nodded at Priest nder’s question, as if he had read my thoughts.
“Most of the places where these mighty relics rest are like this. It’s a blessing from the god they serve, so we don’t dare to treat it harshly, but it could be harmful to mortals, so it was actually built like an altar to seal it.”
Several altars are arranged at precise intervals according to the circular structure, but all but one have destroyed stone statues. It wasn’t too difficult to guess that there were sacred relics on that empty altar.
As soon as I took two more steps there, my body imdiately started reacting with a tingling sensation similar to when I used too much mana. I might have stumbled a little if Asilie, who had caught my complexion not improving at once, hadn’t helped by the side.
“Damn, is this just ? My stomach tingles similarly to when I used too much magic power.”
I hurriedly stepped back, but I didn’t know that the inside that started to groan once would calm down. I barely caught my breath and looked around, everyone was surprised with their eyes wide open.
Maybe I’m the only one who looks weird. Priest nder, who was walking towards the empty altar, hurriedly ca to my side, opened an unknown spell, and opened his already widened eyes.
“It’s a resonance phenonon. How on earth are you still conscious?”
“Yeombyeong, isn’t it polite to ask such a question by explaining what it is…?”
With a sad expression on his face, nder Priest imdiately apologized, but he didn’t have the ti to respond because he seed to be in a hurry. Maybe it’s because I’ve never caught a cold in my life, so I’m not immune to these symptoms.
Fortunately, he understood that I was in a situation where I couldn’t even pretend to accept his apology, and quickly continued his explanation.
“It refers to the reaction of the divine power inherent in the body to the external divine power. This is the symptom that the saints and won see when they receive their first revelation. Apparently, the reaction ca as soon as they reached the boundary of the sanctuary, but in case you hear tinnitus. Or do you not see any hallucinations?”
Not so kind of drug, tinnitus and hallucinations? Fortunately, other than being filthy uncomfortable, I was able to shake my head because I was normal.
“I’m sorry. Originally, after seeking Eldmia-sama’s consent, the thod was to induce resonance at will, but I didn’t expect it to be so strongly connected even after many years have passed since the relic was lost.”
“Let’s just skip that, but that ans… Are you saying that I have sothing to do with the relic here?”
It was a question that didn’t have to be asked, but I had to ask, and
nder responded with a very serious nod.
“Ha, it’s like a fucking birth secret.”
I thought there would be sothing, but I didn’t know it would be in this form.
