Episode 677 The Kingdom of Gleiman (2)
Philia and Clein exchanged a few words with the bishop before getting back on the horse.
Ray, dumbfounded, climbed into the carriage and recalled the situation from before.
âItâs the power I received from God?â
In the Holy Land, Goddess Gaia gives strength to followers through a special ceremony.
That was the reason why the Holy Kingdom had not yet collapsed, and it was a big reason why the Gaia Church was recognized as a religion in other countries.
He asked after entering the castle of Gleiman, dumbfounded.
âHey, that person earlierâ¦â
âAh, is that Bishop Billanes?â
Mien said as she munched on the bread.
âHe is a bishop sent from the Demonic Church. Even if it is dispatched, it seems that they intend to stick together.â
âdispatch? Does that mean there is a separate headquarters for the Demonic Cult?â
âyes. I donât know where it is, but Iâve heard that the headquarters change frequently.â
If the location of the headquarters changes frequently, it will not be easy to find.
Ray was quite shocked by the appearance of the Demonic Cult, which was so different from what he had imagined.
They thought they would break through the village like bandits and pour out black magic, but contrary to their thoughts, they melted into one with the villagers.
In addition, even if you talk to the person called the bishop, you donât see any unpleasant corners, so itâs to the point where you wonder if these are the remnants of the black room.
Mien, who finished eating the bread and started eating the skewers this time, opened her mouth again.
âHe is a good person. If the village is in trouble, they volunteer to help, and if there is a sick person, they treat them without receiving any money.â
Ray was taken aback by her words.
âChi treatment?â
âyes. Since demonists are a religious group, they make money by selling holy water or treating them.â
her.
For a moment, Ray was speechless.
They even sell holy water?
Do you mean to gulp down the water pickled in magi?
Donât you know that you will be reborn as an undead over time?
He shook his head as he had a terrible imagination.
âYou mean Magi to make holy water?â
âThatâs natural. The bishopâs divine power is magic. Originally, holy water is made with the power given by God, right?â
Itâs true, but at the same time itâs oddly jarring.
No, where in the world is the Holy Water created by Magi!
âWhat crazy sounds!â
If there is something that shouldnât exist in the world, I would definitely pick âMaggie Potionâ as the leader.
Magi is originally an energy that shouldnât exist in the middle world.
The air of the demon realm turns monsters into vicious monsters and normal people into madmen.
Its effect was such that if you sprinkled it on the corpses of the dead, they would become undead and come back to life, so feeding demonic energy to the living seemed like an act of suicide to Ray.
âThe prejudice against Magi is at a severe level.â Mien rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small bottle.
âIt is a potion made by the Demonic Church. Would you like to try it?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Even though it was a potion, it was only the size of a small index finger.
Isnât this just a prototype made for tasting?
Ray accepted the potion from her.
Strange grayish color.
I am worried that something like this will not cause food poisoning even if it goes into the stomach.
As soon as I opened the lid, a spicy scent stung my nose.
It was like the smell of ethanol.
âIsnât that a bad thing?â
âDid you see the potion spoil?â
At this point, he looked at Mien with strange eyes.
okay.
In this place where the Demonic Church is established, people will be more familiar with this side than the Holy Kingdom.
Thatâs also true, because in the Kingdom of Gleiman, where the relationship with the Holy Kingdom was not the same as before, it was no longer possible to import large quantities of Holy Potions.
Ray put his mouth to the snout of the potion that gave off a familiar smell.
Tilt the bottle carefully.
The grayish-
white liquid flowed over the lips and into the mouth.
âAaagh!â
My whole body feels like itâs on fire.
My lips sting and my ears burn red.
Is this really a potion!
Ray closed his eyes and swallowed the liquid.
gulp-!
Goo Woo-!
A hot feeling travels down your esophagus, as if youâve inhaled Kaoliang wine.
If you drink it twice, you wonât see the effect of the potion and youâll go to the underworld first.
Ray suddenly threw the bottle away and said.
âWhat kind of potion is that of a guy who freezes to death!â
âWhy are you like that? It just tastes good.â
Mien and Lien looked at each other, tilting their heads at the same time.
Does this really taste good?
According to her own feelings, it tasted like something she would eat even if she gave it to a beggar who was begging on the street.
Fortunately, I was protecting my insides with mana, so I thought for a moment that my intestines were really melting.
âYou really drink this?â
âSince the saint uses divine magic, it may be okay, but we are not. If you donât have the potion, youâre dead.â
Mien pretends to cut her throat with her hand.
No, itâs the same for you and me that you canât use divine magic.
While I was seriously thinking about the potionâs identity, the carriage came to a standstill.
âIm here. It is a royal castle.â
Klein got out first, opened the carriage door, and held out his hand.
An escort like this is a little burdensome if you are not even a princess of a country.
âIâll get off alone.â
âItâs not possible.â
why again this time
As I looked at Klein with my eyebrows narrowed, he said with a polite face.
âThe saint is an important distinguished guest. His Majesty the King told me to be polite and bring him.â
The king ordered it, but you canât refuse it.
Ray, who had been struggling for a while, held Kleinâs hand with resignation.
âWatch your step.â
He even raised his hand as if he were serving a princess, paying attention to her, but in an instant, he almost showed his respect by pulling up at least the hem of his robe.
When Kleinâs turn was over, this time Philia approached.
âI will escort you to the castle.â
âNo, why are you like this? Just like those who got impatient as soon as they came to the kingdom!â
ââ¦It is the order of His Majesty the King. Please do not refuse.â
Ray wanted to see the face of the king as soon as possible.
He sighed and took Philiaâs hand.
Then, Mien and Lien follow and sprinkle petals.
âYouâre so pissed off.â
* * *
The lobby of the Royal Palace of Gleiman was decorated quite splendidly.
sparkling chandeliers.
The golden thread decorated with pillars reminds us once again that the king of a country resides there.
From entering the center, the musiciansâ performances tickled my ears.
Armor made of mithril and a magic sword engraved with magic.
Even the famous painting that Emperor Lessian covets.
Even though it was decorated on the outside of the lobby, there was not one thing that was not classy.
âIs this a museum or a royal lobby?â
As I exclaimed in admiration and headed inward, Mien and Lien stood in front of me and greeted me.
âWelcome to the Castle of Glaman.â
âWelcome to the arrival of the Holy Son. We will guide you from here.â
The atmosphere was different from when I was in the carriage just now.
I have to say that there is a day somewhere.
There is not even a slight change in expression, so it feels like a doll with no emotions in front of you.
âWhy are you doing this awkwardly? Whenever I eat ten skewers by myself.â
âIâm sorry. If you donât like it, Iâll bring another servant.â
âitâs okay. Ratherâ¦â
Ray looked back.
Clein and Filia lowered their heads with their eyes closed.
âIf there is anything you want, tell me.â
ââ¦Whew.â
After arriving at the royal castle, his behavior became obviously strange.
The reason must be because of the kingâs order.
Is the alternative kingdom strange or the king strange?
I guess Iâll have to meet up and have a chat.
I walked through the royal hallway and passed behind the garden.
The garden here is also extremely beautiful.
Colorful flowers are blooming among the upright trees.
Small flower petals floated in the air when the wind blew, so the gardens of the Lessian Empire were not to this extent.
âLooks like you have a lot of money.â
If Harfman had seen the garden here, he would have passed out immediately.
I canât even dare to imagine how much gold was poured in to achieve such a royal castle.
Philia, who smiled awkwardly without answering, pointed to the mansion in front of the garden.
âThis is the annex where the saint will live.â
At those words, Rayâs gaze naturally turned to the direction the finger was pointing.
Red flowers blooming from the magnificent gate.
There was a large tree and a clear pond in the front yard.
In addition, there was a large table with white cloth in front of the pond, apparently prepared for an outdoor dinner.
Is this really not a place where the royal family lives, but a place that is given to a guest from a foreign country?
It was a beauty that could not be compared to that of the Holy Land or Celiaâs VIP room, which had a high reputation among neighboring countries.
âUhâ¦â
Clein said this time as he was unable to speak properly.
âOur kingdom is a bit big-handed.â
People usually donât say that they have big hands.
I canât think of anything other than that the kingdom is prosperous like crazy or that the king is crazy.
Ray couldnât even cross the gate and stood there.
âCome in. I will tell you to prepare dinner.â
When Rien greets them politely, the soldiers open the door as if they had waited.
âMmm.â
Iâve been treated many times before, but this is the first time Iâve been treated like this.
It will take quite a while to get used to.
he entered the gate.
Clein and Philia did not follow, but bowed in front of the gate.
âWe cannot go beyond the annex.â
âIf you need anything, please send it through Mien and Lien.â
This is also a kingâs order.
Itâs obvious if you donât look.
Ray waved at them once and entered the mansion.
After being guided by the servants, Ray entered the bedroom and laid his butt on the bed.
âI guess His Majesty the King is a bit strict.â
ââ¦.â
Mien, who would have normally jumped at her with a âdonât say a wordâ, remains still.
âwhatâs the matter? Are you being watched?â
ââ¦â
Silent reply.
Inside the carriage, the two women, who had been talking so excitedly that they wanted to cover their ears, shut their mouths like stone statues.
