I Got a Fake Job at the Academy Chapter 644

◈ Episode 644 Salesin Van Bretus (1)

Ludger thought it would be a pretty big duck, but this was beyond his imagination.

The Holy Emperor is coming in person.

I also understood why the priest of Lemria was so motionless.

‘Although they are of the same royal blood, Salesin is the current Holy Emperor and has the strongest control over the priests.’

While Lemria unconsciously thinks that she should follow Ludger’s orders that are not orders.

As for Salesin, a simple word would act as a huge deterrent to her.

‘Still, I expected a famous person from the Seonghwang family to come, but I can’t believe Seonghwang himself came to visit.’

Is it to exploit a loophole on this side, or is it simply to show that there is room to spare?

In any case, it would have been fortunate for Ludger if the highest authority had appeared.

“It’s hard to believe that someone who has been crowned as a saint would personally come to a place like this. “It looks like you have more spare time than I thought.”

“Because my subordinates worked hard for me, I actually had nothing to do. Do you call me face madam? “I’m in exactly that situation.”

Salesin was humble, but Ludger did not believe what he said.

He had a smiling face, but those sharp red eyes did not look like he was smiling at all.

‘Just as I’m trying to scoop him up, he’s also trying to scoop me up.’

Salesin did not rise to the position of saint simply because he was the eldest son.

Ludger had quite a few half-brothers and sisters, excluding Salesin.

And the talents of the brothers and sisters at the time were at a level that was difficult to find even when looking through the history of the Bretus Kingdom.

Among those who showed outstanding distinction, it was not because of luck that Salesin ascended to the throne.

Because he was so much better.

In addition to having the right skills to become successful, it is said that he is also well-rounded in intelligence and political insight.

A person like that comes to see you in person because he has some spare time? Even the dog passing by couldn’t believe it.

“They say that my half-brother who disappeared has appeared. As an older brother, how could I not come?”

“You didn’t come because you wanted to kill me yourself?”

“I? why?”

“Have you forgotten what the cardinal and other archbishops were planning to do?”

Salesin shook his head.

“It was Cardinal Patrick and the archbishops under him who did things as they pleased. “It has nothing to do with me.”

Unrelated matter?

Ludger curled the corner of his mouth.

Thousands of water glasses. That’s how many troops were gathered in one place.

No matter how great the cardinal is, would he have been able to gather that many people without the approval of the Holy Emperor?

Of course, Salesin’s influence would have been involved.

From Salesin’s perspective, the death of Cardinal Patrick, as well as the priests and knights, must have been a painful loss.

Nevertheless, without a change in his countenance, he insisted that it was Patricio’s dogma.

“Still, you are really cruel to someone who once believed in you and followed you.”

“No matter how much he is a cardinal, he betrayed God’s will, so it is a fair assessment.”

“It is God’s will. “I don’t think this would be something someone who didn’t follow Lumensis’ will would say.”

At those words, for the first time, Salesin’s smile changed.

There are no cracks in the smiling mask, but the corners of the eyes are torn longer than before.

“Little brother. A huge wave of power was felt at the place where Saint Archenis and the great devil fought in the past. “You must have opened a window to communicate with God, right?”

“Was it really just communication? “I have even seen Lumensis exercise his power.”

Salesin knew that Ludger had annihilated the punitive army, including Patrick.

He is also a member of the Lumensis Church, and is a saint with more divine power than anyone else.

No matter how far away I was, I definitely felt that power.

“I said I killed Cardinal Patrick, right? But there’s just one thing wrong. “It’s true that I killed the other guys there, but I didn’t kill Patricio.”

“Hmm. They killed so many people and said that the only one they didn’t kill was the cardinal. “If it wasn’t you, who killed it?”

“If you think about who exercised power in that position, you wouldn’t know.”

The corner of Salesin’s mouth curled up as if he was amused.

“Do you want to say that Lumensis personally punished you?”

“That is the truth. The cardinal did not truly serve God in the first place. And that goes for you too.”

“… … .”

“Lumensis knows that the Holy Kingdom of Bretus, which he rules as a servant, no longer truly serves him and has degenerated. So that’s when he punished Patricio. Are you curious about his end?”

Salesin shook his head at Ludger’s words.

“In the distant past, Master Lumensis preached the doctrine that if you truly served him, you could ascend to a high heavenly position and look down on the world with him.”

Ludger listened in silence to the sudden introduction of doctrine.

“People believed that completely and praised Lumensys even more. But that is only a well-known surface truth, not the reality. Are you curious about Patricio’s end? I’m not curious at all. Because I know how he died.”

“You know?”

“To look down on the world together is to become one with Lumensis. And to become one with him means not to be his henchman, but to be absorbed into Lumensis as one’s very existence. “The human body collapses and turns into light and lightning and is sucked into him.”

Ludger recalled Patricio’s final days.

Through the black hole, the sight of the human body breaking apart and being absorbed into a halo of light.

It was a sight you wouldn’t believe even if you saw it with your own eyes, but Salesin was sure it would be so without even seeing it.

“To begin with, Lumensis has never loved humans.”

“So you’re trying to betray me?”

“betrayal? Betrayal is something that happens to someone you trusted. But Lumensys didn’t trust us in the first place. “Can we call that a betrayal?”

“you… … “As expected, you knew your role well.”

“Am I the only one? Since my father was a very prosperous person in the past, everyone from generation to generation has known it very well. The reason Lumensis gave us this power was not because he loved us, but because he wanted to make this world the way he wanted. We are just tools. Where do you think the literature that turned into light and was absorbed by him came from in the first place?”

It was only then that Ludger realized what Salesin had said.

A long time ago, several saints met the same end as Patricio.

“It was thanks to the fight between the saint and the great devil that we got that opportunity. “In the fight that day, Lumen Sith completely lost his authority.”

“So they took advantage of this opportunity and made the Holy Kingdom of Bretus theirs?”

“No. It’s the opposite. This was ours to begin with. “Now we have regained our rightful ownership.”

“On the other hand, you didn’t do what Lumensis asked you to do.”

The development of human history was proof of that.

Originally, Lumensis was concerned that humans would develop too much and go against his will, so he created a cult made up of followers.

In order to give strength to that religious order, he created a Holy Kingdom, and by giving power to the Holy Emperors from generation to generation, he exercised a strong influence in the lower world.

But the moment that passage disappears.

The very nature of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus was changed.

As before, it had a strong influence across the continent, but not to the extent of stopping humanity’s development.

In particular, the development of science over the past 100 years has been extremely fatal.

This is because the power of religion has diminished considerably, magic engineering has emerged, and firearms have developed dramatically.

“You can’t live as his puppet forever, right? “Because this world belongs to humans.”

If you say it that way, it may sound like a human hymn, but the true meaning is completely different.

“Although you have escaped the oppression of Lumensis, all your actions have not been for the benefit of humanity. “It’s just because they don’t want to let go of the power they have in their hands.”

In the end, this conflict that arose between Lumensis and the Holy Kingdom of Bretus was because both sides only insisted on their own desires.

“What does it matter? “What matters is the fact that you were born.”

Salesin stared at Ludger with red eyes.

“Heathcliff. You know it too. “What your existence means.”

“okay.”

“Lumensis probably thought that intervention in the underworld was no longer possible. But I didn’t give up. Somehow, I saw an opportunity to show off my power again like before, no, even greater than before. As a result. “That’s how you were created.”

A child who should not have been born was born.

Heathcliff van Bretus.

While all of Seonghwang’s bloodlines had pure white hair, he was the only child born with black hair.

The illegitimate son of the royal family.

and.

“The Holy Grail created by Lumensis to contain his power.”

“… … .”

“A talent that surpasses geniuses and can be called a monster. Even if you were an illegitimate child, that level of talent would have been enough to make you successful.”

But others, including Salesin, did not do that.

In particular, Benedict, who was a successful member of the squadron, realized what kind of person Ludger was.

“You are nothing more than a tool sent down by Lumensis to exercise his power once again in the underworld. The God who is nothing but a facade is trying to take away our power once again. Should we remain silent even after that?”

So they tried to kill Ludger.

He is the Holy Grail to contain the power of God.

If he lives, Lumensis will rule the Holy Kingdom of Bretus again.

“No, no, no.” “It shouldn’t be like that.”

Ludger realized what emotions were fluttering in Salesin’s eyes.

It was desire.

avarice. Desire for power. All the attachment that comes from sitting in a high seat.

“I really thought about it a lot until you disappeared. I wouldn’t have been this anxious if I had it right in front of me. Because I don’t know where and what kind of power I’m developing. But it’s different now. “This is how it appeared before our eyes again and went underwater.”

“So you’re trying to kill me?”

“If you say so?”

Salesin extended his hand toward Ludger.

From behind the bars, he simply stretched out his hand and took the stance of grasping something, leaving a handprint on Ludger’s neck.

If you apply this much force, you can break Ludger’s neck.

Ludger quietly stared at Salesin with an unchanging expression.

“Of course not right now.”

Salesin withdrew his outstretched hand.

“Killing you here won’t help us at all.”

“You have so much patience.”

“You should save it for later. You should not die quietly in a place like this. There should be a much bigger stage and audience than that. You will be executed in front of everyone. The evil enemy of the Holy Kingdom. A traitor to humanity.”

Salesin no longer hid his feelings.

Now that Ludger knows the whole story, hiding it would only make the story longer.

“We’ve been hunkering down too much for the last 20 years. The continent has forgotten the power our holy nation once possessed. But it’s different now. “I won’t let that happen.”

“It might have been possible in the past, but it won’t be that easy now. It used to be that the name of the Holy Kingdom was spread throughout the continent, but in this day and age, who would follow orders?”

Sell ​​indulgences, depose the king.

That was also a story hundreds of years ago.

In a world like today where science is developing and anti-discrimination laws, equality laws, and labor laws are coming out one by one.

They were just old people holding on to the legacy of the past and begging for recognition.

“that’s right. People in this day and age lack respect for God. And it doesn’t happen just because we talk about it.”

“Are you sad that it was there and then gone? “Did you think people would live like fools forever?”

“haha. No way. If we hadn’t done that, we would have been disappointed. “It’s no fun when the puppet’s level is so miserable, isn’t it?”

“… … what?”

Ludger sensed something sinister in Salesin’s words.

“What are you planning?”

“It’s just no big deal. “It seems like this world has forgotten the greatness of Bretus, so I plan to engrave it in their minds again.”

“Is this a bluff? “There is no way something like that is possible.”

“We’ll soon find out whether it’s a bluff or not. Heathcliff. Didn’t you think something was strange? Just like the beings we now call devils, every god has his own messenger. “If you’ve been through so many things, there’s no way you wouldn’t know.”

“… … .”

That’s natural.

In the first place, apostles were the representatives and closest beings of the respective gods, and those who preached their voices to the underworld.

“Then let me ask you a question here. “Does Rumensis have any apostles or not?”

“… … “Could it be that there are apostles in the Holy Kingdom of Bretus?”

No way.

If that were the case, there was no way that no trace of the apostle would have been seen for a long time.

“If I say any more than this, it’s no fun. But don’t be too curious. “You will find out soon.”

Salesin said this and waved his hand at Ludger.

“It was a pretty enjoyable year. “For our next meeting, let’s do it in our home country.”

It will be your last.
