Chapter 307 – Chapter 307 ― The One Who Doesn’t Run (6)
Episode 307 ― Who Doesn’t Run (6)
“I fully understand that Aisen-sama has great abilities. The right religion can save millions of people. Incomparable to us now…”
Fritz, who was excited by Lennart’s next words, hesitated.
“But we don’t have anything. Wouldn’t it take a lot of resources for a single person to create an influential religion?”
That’s right.
Fritz, who knew how large the Church was moving, calmed himself down at these words.
It is true that I was overwhelmed by Roan’s magic. Incomparable pure power. It was not a big deal, it was a simple light-emitting magic, but in Fritz’s eyes, it felt like a miracle from the goddess.
But a denomination is an organization.
One agent cannot do everything.
It is not a problem that can be solved by gathering 200 or so ragtag people.
The reason Lennart, Fritz, and others gathered in the first place was because of a lack of resources.
Location. Money. Food.
Influence comes only then.
It is natural for humans to eat
Even that obvious thing didn’t work out right.
Because they rob the country’s grain, they don’t even have a place to live properly, so they’re hiding in the slums as a point organization.
Rennart’s words continued.
“Even Isen-sama said he couldn’t stay here for long. If there is no Aisen-sama who showed the same power just now, how powerful can that religion really be?”
“Um…”
To Lennart’s concerns, Fritz finally let out her saliva as if agreeing with her.
Even if the church is established to some extent, the role of a leader with charisma and ability is important in order to exert power to people for the first time.
However, as if he had no worries, Roan answered indifferently.
“First of all, the matter of resources.”
His purple eyes glowed like those of a cat in the dark.
“For now, you don’t have to worry about money. Because money is overflowing So you won’t have to worry about starving.”
“… Hey, also You are amazing.”
“Sheesh.”
Anmut frowned for a moment in Yurteria’s astonishment.
It wasn’t because of hostility or jealousy towards Roan that he felt uncomfortable.
It was because it was just unfortunate that Yurtellia, who was closest to her, so to speak, her blood relative, showed such a blind look towards someone.
“The problem of the next place. A safe place for you to stay. We are negotiating with the person who will run it.”
Fritz and Lennart looked at each other as if they couldn’t understand what they were saying.
“I am currently affiliated with the Church, but will be leaving the Church soon. And with the support of the nobility of this country, I plan to start a charity project externally.”
“We will belong to him.”
“It is true.”
It means that those who have the will to quit the church will join. A bit of relief returned to Fritz’s expression, but Lennart’s expression was still disconcerted.
“And the person who will carry out the power of the Goddess, but I will send a person with excellent divine power besides me. It will be enough for me to look around here once in a while.”
“But, Aisen-sama.”
It was Fritz who hurriedly spoke up.
“I understand that there are circumstances, but as I have seen Aisen-sama’s power, I can’t think of anyone who dares to use the goddess-sama’s power more than Aisen-sama. It was an incomparable power for a normal priest like me.”
Fritz said sadly.
“With Aisen-sama’s power, you will be able to save so many people. If you have that much power, even the existing Laurecia Church, Bishop… , No, do you not have more power than that? Unless even the deceased saintess comes…”
Hmm.
Roan’s expression changed strangely.
Helen, who was alive and well, suddenly became a deceased. I think I need to clear up this misunderstanding.
Roan, who had been silent for a while after hearing Fritz’s words, spoke.
“First of all, the saintess is not dead.”
“Yes?”
Fritz asked in surprise.
“She heard rumors that the saintess was imprisoned in her church… Could it be that it was true?”
Then Roan shrugged his shoulders playfully.
“She wasn’t locked up in the Order, she went to Evir Geo to rescue her princess,” She said.
Although it is still in the imperial castle.
“And that very saintess will help us with our work.”
“Yes?!”
Fritz jumped up and the crate he was sitting on rolled over. Lennart, who was sitting next to him, was also shocked.
Urtellia and Anmut also opened their mouths as if they were absurd, but soon the two seemed to understand the situation.
The saintess went to Evirzio.
It was the two of them who found out the news.
And this person is the emperor of the demon tribe who has a princess as his concubine. It was strange to not know the existence of the saintess.
“The saintess… How… ? Was she in this country?”
“It would be difficult to tell you more now.”
Roan smiled bitterly and refused.
Fritz blankly nodded his head.
Because she was relieved that the saintess who had once been known to be dead was alive.
The saintess was concerned about the depravity of the Church of Laurecia and encouraged people with her own hands.
Fritz had only seen her saintess a few times from afar, but he knew that with her pure heart she followed her goddess name and helped those in need.
If, then, she seeks to denounce her old Order of Laurezia and spread the word of the Goddess in her new Order.
‘People will gather. Not just ordinary people, but even nobles.’
Helen was one of the representatives of the Order.
The belief in the Church of Laurecia stemmed from Helen’s actions.
If she immerses herself in a new religion, there will surely be nobles who want to take advantage of her fame.
As Princess Grünent was kicked out of Evirzio, the nobles who supported the princess, who had lost her position, would support Helen’s existence and the new religion even more.
And the same thought, Lennart also had.
However, his reaction was different from Fritz’s.
“… Is that how you gain the power of a noble?”
Lennart knew the aristocratic world well.
He desperately felt the limitations of the organization, and he eventually fell because of the limitations of the organization.
His worries stemmed from him.
“Aristocratic society… I don’t know exactly who you are, but aristocratic society doesn’t run on the strict contracts and fidelity that you think. They are cunning.”
Urtellia and Anmut also listened to Rennart’s question.
I know that Roan himself is the emperor of the demons, but I can’t make such a plan unless there is an infiltrator in the human church or nobles.
However, after knowing that fact, the question about him was solved.
Even though he was a demon, he was knowledgeable about Sprouse III and the inside of the palace. Knowing too well about Merde’s situation.
The two mercenaries, who did not know that he had experienced the future through the game and his life in the first round, finally guessed why Roan knew a lot.
And Lennart’s concerns were understandable.
The power of demons is similar to physical strength.
Only the great lords with similar power and superior political power could dare to deceive the emperor, the apex of the demon tribe.
However, to human nobles, Roan is a foreigner.
He has no connections or support, he’s powerful, but that’s all.
Rennart is worried that he will be swayed by the nobles who intentionally approach him, and that it will affect them.
“If their circumstances change, their words will change.”
“Hmm.”
Roan felt like scratching his head.
Rennart served the nobles, and lost everything due to the actions of the royal family.
Of course, there must have been other noble families who followed Grunent, but they couldn’t help much either.
It was natural for him to be wary of borrowing the hands of nobles.
Roan wondered why he hadn’t reacted this way the last time.
First of all, their situation was worse than it is now.
Enough to reach out to anyone who helps, regardless of front and back.
Also, Sermo was already at the front.
At the time, Sermo was running an orphanage, so they didn’t know of the existence of Count Hilpe hiding behind it. Or you just ignored it and accepted it.
‘There could be a part like this.’
The future is different from the first round.
It’s only natural that I’m having a different mindset and messing around like this.
Solving unexpected problems is my task.
“Rennart. I will not take your concerns lightly. Whoever protects must be held accountable.”
Rennart seemed a little relieved.
It must be because he was understood by someone he did not know.
“No matter how trustworthy you were introduced to, it would be insecure to rely on someone you don’t know.”
“… Thank you for your understanding.”
“But that is why the steps of a leader are heavy.”
I could feel Rennart biting his teeth lightly. He can’t even know
The more things are on his shoulders, the harder it is to move.
Just as the forest fairy’s Duke has no choice but to choose a near life even though she knows of a distant death.
“I don’t think you gave up everything you had and chose this arduous path to live a life like that.”
“…”
The knight lowered his head involuntarily.
The precious young man in front of him actually looked younger than Lennart.
But there was a sharpness to the point in what he said.
“Are you afraid of nobles? Are you afraid of nobles who are not afraid of the palace? There will be other things you have to fear.”
A small gnashing of teeth was heard from the lowered Lennart.
The incompetence of neglecting the duty of caring for the lower while enjoying the right.
Colleagues who have spent a long time together, who have lost their place to lean on, scattered and died in vain.
The young people who begged with hope.
Watching them starve to death, or die as thieves by taking up arms with unreasonable strength.
If that doesn’t even happen, people who meet the end without knowing the meaning.
It was those images that came to Lennart’s mind.
“Don’t run away.”
A word from Roan was embedded in the knight’s mind.
An intense message aided by skills.
It was like a revelation.
Lennart said his nonsense for a moment.
“Who are you?”
Anmut’s blue eyes widened, and he felt the beast mage’s small body tense.
Roan was the only one who sat there unchangingly and unhurriedly.
“Is it important?”
“A person with this kind of military power and this much divine power cannot go unnoticed. Aristocrats, if anyone needs it, I’ll do it. I just want to know whose hand I hold first.”
“Hoo.”
A small exclamation leaked from Roan’s lips as if he was having fun.
Rennart raised his head now.
“I decided to lead people in need at the risk of death, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”
There was a will in his eyes.
Roan liked that spirit.
“Are you really not going to run away?”
Lennart nodded his head.
Roan laughed lightly.
It was a good laugh, but
Urtellia, who stood behind her, was nervous.
Yes, even us with ears and a tail might not be surprised to see His Majesty’s horns.
After a while, there was a light commotion with screams in the basement.
