To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 726 God’s Witness (4)

The satellite church branch in the royal capital was paralyzed by the endless news.

Mysterious mana rising from the branch of the Demonic Church.

Three or four skilled adventurers flocked to the temple every day to report it, so the priests decided to look around the temple.

Two priests and five priests, dressed in formal attire and raising the flag of the Satellite Church high on the wagon, headed for the Demonic Church.

They were extremely nervous at the thought that it might be a new revelation from Goddess Gaia.

The priests, unable to suppress their excitement, chatted among themselves.

“This is the first time I see stigmata.”

“Me too. Maybe you will be blessed.”

Sometimes the stigmata was blessed, so the priests had high hopes in their hearts.

Unlike them, the expressions of the priests were not very good.

The young priest, who had been listening to the priests talking in the back carriage, whispered to the priest sitting next to him.

“Priest Theo, is it really a stigma?”

Then, a middle-aged priest wearing a white hood deeply replied.

“I don’t know. However, since it is the place where the revelation of the goddess was, there are plenty of possibilities.”

“Hey. It’s a rare thing to have a stigma. Still, since it is a temple of the Demonic Cult, it is not under our jurisdiction, right?”

From the beginning, demonic and satellite religions worshiped different gods.

If what was in the temple was the demon’s stigma, they had no choice but to purify it in the way of the satellite religion.

And if that happens, we will be hostile to the Demonic Church in earnest.

‘I can’t move carelessly without the elder’s instructions.’

The priest named Theo warned the young priest with a serious face.

“All we do today is simply research. If you act presumptuously, you will be severely punished, so know that.”

“ha ha ha. Do you know what kind of child I am? Don’t worry, he’s officially recognized as a priest by the school.”

Confident speech only makes me more anxious.

Theo didn’t forget to add a word.

“You can’t even get close to the stigma. Can I leave the leadership of the priests to you?”

“yes.”

“When we arrive at the temple, please prepare it.”

“All right.”

Shortly after the conversation, they were able to reach the temple of ceremonies.

An unassuming appearance.

Anyone who sees it will know that there was a war here.

“Somehow, it’s a bad place.”

Theo took the lead and said at the sight of him sweeping both shoulders.

“It is a place to worship God. Set some more examples.”

“Yes….”

He followed Theo with the priests leading him, and the more he entered the interior, the more intense the energy of mana made him tremble.

“This is…”

“This is… the traces of a god…”

The priests looked around as if they noticed one by one.

Dark aura and mighty mana.

When the two spirits merged into one, I wondered if it was indeed a trace of God.

Feeling stronger as they approached, Theo stopped the group, as if he thought it was no longer dangerous.

“So far.”

The young priests and priests, who could not hide their excitement while personally experiencing the miracle of a god that was not considered human, openly expressed regret.

“yes? I haven’t even been to the cabinet yet.”

“Chief Theo, can’t we go inside a bit more?”

Despite the earnest request filled with sorrow, Theo said firmly.

“We came here to check the stigma. The stigma was almost certain, so our job was done. Return to the main school and report to the elder.”

At those harsh words, the young priests and priests sighed lightly.

How many times would it be possible to witness stigmata while living as a priest?

It was natural to regret that I had to come this far and have to go back.

“Contact the royal capital guards and ask for their cooperation so that others cannot enter.”

“All right.”

“Don’t be too disappointed. It is true that a leader was needed among the guards. As soon as I return, I will recommend you to the high priest.”

At those words, the young priest’s face brightened.

“Is that true?”

“okay. When you go, take the priests with you.”

“Leave it to me!”

Theo smiled at the priest’s excited appearance.

When a young priest took a cloth from the wagon and sealed the temple with the priests.

Theo sighed, his hands behind his back, deep in thought.

‘At first glance, it doesn’t look like a demon’s stigma… It’s strange.’

It’s not divine power, and it’s not magic either.

Then, the only thing left was Mana.

After thinking for a while, Theo soon came up with a hypothesis.

What if what you are looking at now is the trace of a god other than Gaia or a demon?

Isn’t Gaia in charge of the magic that drank the divine power?

No matter what anyone said, this aura I felt now was close to mana.

He is the god who controls mana.

The thought didn’t last very long.

satellite bridge.

Because the god they enshrined was the closest thing to mana.

‘Then this stigma…!’

Theo’s whole body started to tremble gradually.

Since the history of satellite bridges.

It was the first evidence of God discovered.

“Each!”

I’ve been sneezing a lot lately.

“Who is talking about me?”

As I sniffed and muttered, Soyoung answered.

“Right now, everyone would be talking about the Holy Son.”

“but.”

“Then what if you suddenly start talking about leaving the kingdom?”

Soyoung touched her forehead as if she knew this would happen.

When I went to the royal castle last night and said that I would leave Gleiman, the spectacle was indeed unfolded.

The king, who had been greeted with a smile, asked if there had been anything displeased during the time, and Philia glared at the surroundings, ready to hunt down and kill the culprit.

Now that the King’s aristocrats, who were thinking of stretching their legs and resting, held on to the hem of their robes and hung down, there were no other leeches like this.

Soyoung, who had been running all night until her soles were on fire, said as if reporting.

“Even if it is the king faction aristocrats, the aristocratic faction is also a problem with those who have the ideology of the chosen people. It is difficult for the royalist faction to prevail right now because they are holding onto famous merchants and territory trade.”

It is a difficult law to replace Sanghoe.

Especially if it was a large trading company that could deliver to the kingdom.

In addition to that, since they had the right to trade in the territories, even the royalists could not act recklessly.

Ray waved his hand as if he didn’t even have to think about it.

“That’s for Uncle Gleiman to take care of. Because I can’t help you how far.”

It’s a statement that has no room for refutation.

However, if left as it is, it will take too long for the Kingdom of Gleiman to gain strength as an ally.

Because internal affairs have not been settled, there is no way to provide military support.

The moment So-yeong was about to say something.

Ray hit the ball.

“It’s fine even if it’s small, so tell Hafman to establish an upper branch in the Kingdom of Gleiman. The mere entry of a new company into a monopoly market will take your breath away. Yes, it’s just enough to buy time, but if Klein becomes a master, the original title will be promoted, so you can use that as an excuse to receive a territory that is the key point of territory trade.”

Pretending not to be interested in the song, So-Young was at a loss for words.

“You are mean. Did you think of everything beforehand?”

“no. I just remembered Halfman because he was crying because he had nothing to do these days.”

“…”

So-young realized at once that it was a lie.

Otherwise, it makes no sense.

If he does what Ray said, Gleiman will not only be able to buy time for internal affairs, but also reduce the power of the chosen people’s aristocrats.

Is that all?

If you split the monopoly market of the Kingdom of Gleiman using only the half, the management of funds will also become more free.

As soon as the internal affairs were sorted out, it was easy to expect military support, and it was like having a debt to the Kingdom of Gleiman, so it could be useful in the future.

It was almost impossible to think of all this process with just a moment’s thought.

‘I always feel that he’s a great person.’

Once information is gathered, a decision is made without hesitation.

And that decision has a high probability of making a huge profit, so I can understand why half-man would die of his horse.

“Should I pass it on to Hoffman?”

“No, I will. The reception committee should focus on gathering information as it is now.”

“all right.”

Soyeong, who answered briefly, silently bowed and disappeared.

Left alone in the room, Ray took out a mana crystal ball from his backpack.

I was supposed to be in touch with Hafman once a week to get a report, but I was busy with work and I hadn’t been in touch for two weeks.

Well, it’s only been a little over 10 days. Could anything have happened?

Let’s wait for a while while injecting mana into the crystal ball.

The halfman with a disheveled expression pushed his face like a bandit in front of the crystal ball.

– Danju!

“It’s been a while. Halfman.”

Scared to say hello, Halfman came up with a teary face.

– Danju! What the hell happened to you so you never contacted me! I haven’t been able to sleep properly for this harp, and I’ve been awake!

He complained to ask to understand the feelings of his servants who are waiting for the monarch, but looking at the traces of saliva on his mouth, he seems to have slept well.

Lay, who had made up his mind to deepen his friendship through a game of truth sooner or later, because he was getting more and more lies these days.

“Report.”

Thinking that if I said a few more words, I might be right, Harpman, who quickly grasped the atmosphere, began to report.

– Unexplored lands within the principality have been made fiefdoms to some extent. Youngjimin is also accepted, so soon there will be 10,000 human Youngjimins.

“Ohh. You seem to have worked hard enough?”

– The amount of money spent on developing the territory is enough to build a decent castle.

“good. Don’t spare it and pour it in.”

– All right. I will build an empire with a lot of money to live up to my reputation as a golden ghost.

Harpman, who still considers his notoriety a reputation, said proudly, tapping his chest.

“Is there anything else?”

– Ugh. Celia’s slave traders’ movements are a bit strange, but not worth worrying about.

“slaver?”

Ray tilted his head.

As far as he knows, Celia is a non-slavery country.

It’s not surprising that there are slave traders, but there’s no way they can openly move?

Hafman explained everything about Ray’s reaction.

– It’s not known in detail… but if you carefully predict it, it might be that a slave trader from another country came in.
