Chapter 734
Of course, the convenient thing that happened was that information about the ascension ritual was included in the ancient docunts of the religious order that had been secretly kept since ancient tis.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything in the records of the church that would be directly helpful in the matter you ntioned. The ascension ceremony is a kind of god-killing ceremony.”
However, it can be said that it is convenient enough that a situation has not arisen where one has to explain in detail everything that has happened so far.
Let’s put aside how on earth you store all that knowledge in your head.
“All religions are the sa. Is Radan special?”
When asked whether people living across the ocean might have different ideas, Tie tilted her head for a mont, collected her thoughts, and then answered.
“Um… That’s right. It’s because Radan’s religious views are different from ours. That’s why the factions that wanted to protect the ascension ritual went over to Radan.”
“Huh? What is that story?”
“Even at that ti, the ascension ritual was originally the knowledge of the gods, not mortals, and so the group was divided into those who thought it should be neatly erased from the records, and those who argued that it was knowledge freely given by the gods, so it should be rembered and recorded for future generations. Although we do not know the details of the conflict, our current perception tells us who ultimately gained power.”
The side that should have been eliminated won, so we have reached this point. However, although it is clear that they gained power and won, that does not an that they succeeded in completely eradicating knowledge as intended.
Because so of the opposition party fled to Radan with their knowledge.
“You’re going to accept that if I bring it back? Is the god they believe in immortal?”
This was sothing I was hearing for the first ti and it was so new to that I leaned against the desk and showed my interest. Tie understood my reaction right away and continued the explanation.
“Well… In order to understand this, you need to know so prerequisite knowledge. First of all, you know that all religions on our continent worship gods as absolute beings and that mortals are unilateral recipients of the grace you bestow.”
“I know…”
“They, unlike us, believe that gods and mortals have a symbiotic relationship.”
If God were truly a being who bestowed grace unilaterally, we would not be living in such a barren land. There would be no division in the world between those who receive grace and those who do not.
So, God is not a being who unilaterally bestows good will.
However, there is indeed divinity and miracles in the world, and their power is expressed through faith in God.
There has been a na for this phenonon since ancient tis: ‘transaction’.
“Of course, that doesn’t an that gods are treated as equals to mortals. Just because you believe doesn’t an that everyone can use the holy law. That’s why the belief that you have to be more diligent and pickle yourself in order to deal with gods has developed.”
“So that’s why you practice asceticism?”
“Yes, to be qualified to trade with God, and to use the power thus acquired to benefit the world, to live a life of constant practice and asceticism, that is the priesthood of Radan.”
The reason why my father said that he would rather be a warrior is becoming clearer. At that level, I am worried that it is actually crossing the line from sincerity to fanaticism.
“But what does that have to do with recording the ascension ceremony?”
“As I said before, they consider their interactions with the gods as a transaction. For them, what the gods give to mortals is ultimately the price that mortals have received at the end of a transaction. They believe that no word or knowledge is given without aning. If the gods speak, it ans that it is the price of a transaction given to mortals.”
“ah···”
Since the premise is that God is not a being who unilaterally bestows grace, this can also be said to an that everything that is obtained from God is sothing that mortals have paid a price for.
It is obvious that the knowledge of the ascension ritual will be treated in the sa way, so it is said that the faction that knew about it crossed the sea.
“In the end, they turned out to be right.”
There may be legends left sowhere on the continent, but we do not have ti to search for them right now. They may have been persecuted at the ti, but it is true that those who fled to Ladan were helpful to us.
“Well, you can’t bla the people of that ti. They probably never thought that there would co a ti when communication with the gods would be so limited as it is now.”
It is a world where God descended and walked around in person. It is understandable that they cannot foresee the future.
“But… does the person called Sanyeom wish for death?”
I leaned back in my chair, feeling my knowledge growing thanks to the short lecture. Tie, who had been pretending to be calm for the explanation until now, had an uncomfortable look on his face. He was so multi-talented that I kept forgetting about him, but he was clearly an elite priest with a high reputation in his own church.
Then I waved my hand lightly, emphasized the atmosphere that it was nothing serious, and answered.
“At first, he was like that, but not anymore. After thinking about it carefully, he said it was no different from suicide. Now, he is trying to find a way to help mortals as best he can.”
“Aha, so you are going to give up your divinity once more through the ascension ceremony?”
“It’s good that you understand quickly, but… do you even know that?”
When he was secretly amazed by the ability of the sect that did not even know who they served or what they were called without asking, the uncomfortable look on Tie’s face disappeared without a trace, leaving only pride.
After finishing all that work and lying down on the bed, I fell asleep in no ti even though I wasn’t that tired.
But even though I slept like that, I woke up right away.
I think I slept for about three hours, but my mind is clear and my body is full of energy. At this point, I started to feel a little bit of anxiety that this might not be a pleasureless responsibility.
“Oh, you’re not sleeping?”
“I just woke up. What are you doing?”
“I slept early yesterday for today’s work.”
···I don’t think sleep patterns can change overnight, but it’s not easy.
Of course, it was pleasant to see the rare scene of Tie, who thought I was sleeping and opened the door without thinking, flinching in surprise as soon as she made eye contact with , but it seed like she and I knew too much to accept this situation infinitely positively.
“Hmm… maybe you are unconsciously continuing to heal your body with the Holy Law…?”
“But I am a warrior by na, so don’t you know that?”
“Even as you say that, your eyes are trembling… Of course, if the divine power is being used like that, we cannot help but know about it, but considering the changes that occurred in Ega-sama’s body during the fierce battle with the Demon King’s fragnt, it would be good to keep that in mind.”
While I couldn’t refute Tie’s rational reasoning that I already knew what I hadn’t said, Tie, who had been examining my body for the first ti using the Holy Law, nodded with a trembling face and continued talking.
“I think it would be a good idea for you to get a checkup. You never know. There might be a mutation in your body.”
“That’s a terrible thing to say. I’m worried that if I get a checkup because I’m so healthy, they’ll think I’m crazy.”
“Don’t worry about that. Eldmia-sama’s evaluation is already at a very precarious level.”
“······really?”
“I’m joking.”
Without changing his expression, Tie, who had been spewing out facts that hit ho like, “What if a warrior like you believes such nonsense?” or “If you’re going to be swayed by rumors like this, you should be careful about your usual behavior,” drew the curtains and clapped his hands, and as if he had been waiting, the servants from outside followed him in and started to clean up the room.
“No, I’ve only been here for three hours and cleaning···”
“Cleaning is done every day.”
I couldn’t say anything as I watched not only Tea, but also the two servants who entered the room nod their heads in agreent.
“As expected, the rest of the group hasn’t woken up yet. Judging from the fact that they’re still sleeping without moving, they must have accumulated a lot of toxins. Would you like to eat first?”
“I’m not hungry, so we’ll eat together later. Oh, there hasn’t been any contact from the Ogatorp family?”
“There was sothing like, ‘don’t worry about it,’”
Is it more likely that it is perceived as the ho of a married butler rather than the ho of a foreign man?
I appreciate the trust, but my conscience aches because I ended up betraying that trust by doing sothing similar to that!
“Okay, okay. Okay, I’ll go do so exercise and then go to the car kennel. Call when everyone else wakes up.”
“All right·”
As I finished changing and left the room so as not to disturb the cleaning, a door at the end of the hallway suddenly opened with a creaking sound and soone appeared…
“What the heck, Leica, why are you out there?”
[Asili said that Esmuye seed very tired when they slept together!]
Suddenly, my morning routine included a walk with Laika, who would co out of the room, deftly close the door with her hind legs, then run up and jump like a grasshopper.
