Episode 681 Inside Circumstances (3)

The party was served tea in a corner of the temple.

“Sorry, the temple is small. ha ha ha.”

Priest Donbe smiled kindly.

“no. I am grateful to you for allowing me to drink tea in a wonderful place of prayer.”

“The scent is unique. What is the name of the car?”

The priest answered Philia’s question.

“There is no name. Tea made by sun-drying grass that grows only in spring and summer among the four seasons of mountain cliffs. We just call it grace.”

“Eunhyera… It sounds good. I will drink it thanks.”

Ray looked around the temple as they chatted.

The look of the praying believers could not have been so zealous.

Kneel on the marble floor and pray in the same position for hours.

In front of them was a statue of a crouching goddess with her face covered with wings.

The source of the magic that wandered around could also be said to be that stone statue.

‘It’s kind of strange.’

Judging from the fact that there is no sign of magic, it is said that the goddess statue is not a magic tool.

Then, how the hell can Magi exist in Middle-earth?

Could it be that the demon god really exerted its power like they said?

Klein and Filia got up from their seats.

“Are you going to the main hall now?”

“yes. It was a great car.”

To Clein’s praise, Priest Donbe made a brief retreat.

“Originally, the main shrine is a place where non-believers are not allowed. It’s just…”

He glanced at Ray.

“Permission was dropped because this is such a special case. I will guide you, so please follow me.”

Shake your sleeves while talking.

His long robe fluttered once.

When I followed Priest Donbe and entered, there was a narrow staircase embroidered that was incomparably narrower than before.

The moss-covered stone bridge looked precarious even at first glance, and the stream of water flowing leisurely between them made me think again about whether the path made for people to walk was correct.

“This is the road to the main hall.”

At those words, Ray stared blankly at Priest Donbe.

His eyes seemed to say, “This crazy guy.”

“The road is narrower than I thought.”

“If you are not careful, you will fall. ha ha ha.”

Klein burst out laughing as if he was having fun.

Are you laughing here?

You guys won’t get hurt much if you fall, but other people die the moment they stumble.

In addition, the fog has gotten worse than before, so you can only see the scaffolding right in front of you.

If the road to Yeungak was a hard paved road, the road to Bongak was a steep cliff road.

When the dumbfounded Ray let out a sigh, Klein looked at him and said,

“As expected, it must be too trivial for a saint. If you set your mind to it, you are the one who will step on the air.”

What the hell does this guy think of people?

He wasn’t even a dragon, so how did he jump in the air?

It was unreasonable for a person like Aira to walk in the air with pure physical ability, unless you know how to use magic.

Whether she knew it or not, even Philia agreed with his words.

“I guess so too. It may not be the case for the Holy Son, but it requires a bit of concentration for us. I would appreciate it if you could go slowly.”

Ray said to it, ‘You’ll die the moment you relax?’ I was about to say something, but I couldn’t say anything because the Donbe priest was holding an example.

“The night sky seen from the main hall is exquisite. Have a pleasant walk, all three of you.”

“Whoop whoop. yes. I look forward to it.”

“Priest Donbe is also healthy. See you again.”

I was about to die after taking two walks.

Looking at the scaffolding, which was barely large enough for one person to pass through, Ray frowned.

I don’t want to go, but what can I do?

You have to go to the main hall to confirm what King Gleiman said.

He sighed deeply and moved on.

Percussion -! percussion-!

Every time they crossed the stone bridge, a cheerful sound followed.

As she had to risk her life with every step she took, her whole body was wet with sweat.

“ha ha ha. It’s more fun than you think. I think it can be used for training as well.”

‘I want to put it in the regular training of the knights,’ he mumbled, but he felt sorry for the knights of the kingdom.

Philia applied magic from the middle.

After applying several layers of strengthening magic such as Haste and Strength, he crossed the bridge more easily than Klein.

On the other hand, Ray did not use mana and endured with pure physical strength.

“Hehehehehehehehehehe…”

Even while his stamina reached its limit, he did not neglect to look under his feet for fear of falling.

When a cliff came out, they climbed quadrupedal walking, and when a steep downhill came out, they went down with their hands on the footrest.

Since the outfit was wearing a robe, it naturally got scratched here and there.

The road to the main school was so rough that the robes with the preservation magic quickly faded.

Klein asked, looking back once or twice.

“Are you alright, my lord?”

“Huh…! Huh…!”

I can’t afford to answer.

Even so, it is difficult to breathe because the oxygen becomes thinner as the mountain goes deeper.

Every moment, the desire to use mana was filled, but he forcibly endured it, remembering the days when he was slapped by Derp.

– Listen up, kid. When a craftsman clings to a tool, he is bound to depend on it. The same goes for Mana. It’s comfortable when it’s there and uncomfortable when it’s not.

I agree.

Enduring the pain, he crossed the stone bridge at the last minute.

Had it gone for about an hour?

Finally, the dreaded stairs began to show their end.

“That’s the main angle.”

It was the first time Klein’s words were so welcoming.

Squeezing out the last of his strength, he accelerated.

An indescribable feeling of relief spread through my whole body when I stuck the ground to the ground.

“It has arrived!”

He gasped for breath as he fell to the ground.

Filia, who landed on the ground with graceful movements, cleared her throat and spoke quietly.

“… Please protect the holy spirit.”

Seeing his face reddened, he seemed a little ashamed of himself.

However, Rei didn’t even have the strength left to stand up.

I went up and down the ridiculous stairs for five hours from the acute angle to the main angle.

How could he be able to stand still after such a crazy penance?

body pain? Gaia was confident that she would be angry even if she came down to the middle world and argued.

Saints are people too.

Climbing a cliff is tiring.

Ray, who had been concentrating on recovering by taking care of himself for a while, finally looked around when he felt more relaxed.

desolate landscape.

In a quiet mountain temple, a tree stretches toward the sky.

At this point, there was no fog.

As the sun began to set, the stars slowly started to fall in the sky.

It was so beautiful that Ray lay with his mouth open and looked at the night sky.

Priest Donbe was commendable.

“It is excellent.”

The densely embroidered Milky Way.

The sound of the babbling brook tickles your ears.

The air was clear, probably because it was deep in the mountains.

The two also spoke with a smile on their lips.

“This is the main school… It deserves to be rumored among the believers.”

“There is a saying in the Demonic Church, ‘Don’t discuss the scenery without reaching the main angle.’ The road may be difficult, but it must be because the scenery that awaits you afterwards is beautiful.”

Klein nodded.

Ray got up and headed for the mountain temple.

The exterior of Sansaji Temple was larger than the temples seen in the royal capital.

The statue of the goddess who covered her face with wings that she saw from an acute angle greeted them magnificently.

Inside, there was a temple where torches were placed, and believers in black robes were offering prayers as before.

“excuse me.” After ringing the bell at the entrance of the temple

,

the bishop he had seen earlier walked out of the temple.

“You arrived early. I thought it would take a few more hours.”

hollow smile.

His benevolent impression doesn’t seem malicious at all.

Just in case it’s different from before.

‘Why are your eyes like that?’

Bloody eyes emanated from the bishop.

Even a small amount of demonic energy overflows around.

As if it were a robe made of a special material, it suppressed demonic energy, but it was not perfect.

Bishop Villane quietly closed his eyes as if he had noticed his gaze.

“sorry. I was in the middle of praying, so I showed rudeness.”

“no. It is our fault for coming during prayer time.”

“Come inside. I’m praying for a blessing, so could you wait a bit?”

“All right.”

Following the bishop’s guidance, we entered the temple.

I didn’t know it when I saw it from a distance, but now I see that the center of the temple is shallow enough to submerge my ankles.

When the magic tool with the light magic shines down, the waterside decorated with white pebbles looks even brighter.

A good 30 believers surround the water’s edge and offer prayers quietly.

It came as a surprise to Ray that more than 30 people reached this point.

At that moment, a strong stench stinging the nose wafted from the water’s edge.

“Ugh…!”

Covering his nose with the sleeve of his robe and frowning, Clein and Filia tilted their heads.

“Smell? It doesn’t smell like anything…”

“If it smells like oil from a perch, it smells a little, but it’s not that bad.”

It can’t be.

There is no way they can’t smell the smell similar to the rotting smell of a carcass.

Ray turned his head and looked at the water’s edge.

However, there was nothing strange about it, except for the transparent clear water flowing slowly.

‘Come to think of it, I think I’ve smelled this smell somewhere…’

I was able to recall it right away when I looked back at my memory.

It is a magic cult potion that Mien gave you from the carriage earlier.
