Episode 655: Saint Catherine (1)
“Weak guy.”
Eileen rebuked Yvelon firmly even after hearing his sincere words.
“As a member of the royal family, show the minimum spirit and courage. “You little brother.”
“What can I do with my nature like this? Even if you force it, it won’t work.”
“Well, you did well anyway. “I’m sure they didn’t think you would pull a trick like this.”
Eileen chuckled and crossed her arms.
Ibellon looked at that and asked in puzzlement.
“sister. “For some reason, you seem to be in a good mood.”
“Does it look good? “Even though there’s nothing I can do right now?”
“Yeah, whatever. If not, I apologize.”
“no. I saw it right. “I feel great now.”
Ivellon asked with a slightly puzzled expression.
“Why?”
“Because the man was wrong.”
“Speaking of that man… … .”
“there is. “The man who warned me to be careful because you were hiding something.”
“I had something to hide, so it’s not really wrong, right?”
“The man seemed to see everything through, but didn’t he know that you were a double agent? “That’s enough.”
Eileen found it unbearably amusing that Ludger had gotten something wrong.
I thought he was someone I thought would be perfect.
He was a man whom I coveted, but who also made me feel jealous and competitive.
But that man was also a human being who made mistakes.
A human like yourself.
How could I be this happy about that fact?
“And another reason I feel good is because I’ve been through enough crises like this. No, if you think about the crisis at that time, this is not even on the axis of crisis.”
“sister… … .”
“Of course, that man was there then, but he isn’t there now.”
Eileen gave Yvelon a look full of desire.
“Aren’t you here now?”
“… … But I cannot disobey Salesin’s orders. “If I do something suspicious, Salesin will turn me into a doll too.”
“Rather, it is better. “I would be grateful if you continued to stick around with Salesin and get his attention.”
“Do you think such a thing is possible in the face of the power of brainwashing?”
“Why do you think that’s their exclusive property?”
Eileen pointed with her chin at the scripture that Ibelon had placed on the table.
“Isn’t it true for us too?”
Although it may be weaker than the power used by Salesin.
That was the key to overcoming this situation.
“Compared to what they have, it’s small.”
“I guess so. “There are cannons over there, but this one only has one dagger.”
The moment Ibelon saw Eileen’s eyes, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
The look in her eyes was that of someone who had never given up.
“That is enough. “With just one dagger, you can suffocate someone.”

Seorn was confused.
It was not long ago that Ludger Chelisi went missing and returned to Seorn.
Ludger Chelsea was arrested and taken away by the Empire’s security department.
Leaving behind one shocking fact.
His real identity was Heathcliff van Bretus.
Who is Heathcliff Van Bretus?
The illegitimate son of Benedict van Bretus.
And he was said to be the king of heresy who was hostile to the Lumensis Church.
“What on earth is going on? “Mr. Ludger was the son of a great emperor?”
“You’re lying, right?”
“you idiot. I was arrested by the Security Bureau. Could this be a lie? We’ve been fooled this whole time! Even the newspapers are talking about it! “He is the king of heresy!”
“Isn’t everything that happened in Seorn because of this person? “That’s how the devil appeared!”
“hey! Mr. Ludger fought hard to save us that day! “How can you say that?”
“You never know. “Maybe he pretended like that on purpose to deceive us.”
A teacher who had always been dissatisfied with Ludger and a student who was unable to accept the current situation and fell into panic criticized Ludger.
Of course, Ludger was not the only one to blame.
“Is that person really Ludger Chelsea in the first place?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The teacher has been missing for a while. So, in the meantime, a fake may have come here pretending to be Mr. Ludger.”
In other words, the argument was that the real Ludger Chelisi was captured somewhere, and that Heathcliff pretended to be him and sneaked into Seorn and was caught.
It was quite convincing.
It would have been impossible to say that Ludger had deceived them all until now, because his actions since taking office made no sense.
Could a person who is the king of heresy and the devil be so passionate about teaching and distributing such valuable materials to students?
The back and forth was incoherent.

“Honestly, if it were heresy, I would have skipped the class. Or secretly sacrifice students.”
“that’s right. Look at the source code I posted. Plus, if you look at the course content, there are a lot of other useful things.”
“What if it was all intentional to gain favor?”
“hey. Usually, you don’t go that far to earn someone’s favor. “What are you going to do in Seorn in the first place?”
Naturally, there was someone who helped spread these rumors.
It was Elisa Willow, the president of Seorn.
“ha. Really. “I had no idea that one person could make such an uproar in the world.”
President Elisa looked down at Seorn, who was still seething with panic, with a sad gaze.
“Isn’t it okay?”
It was Vierano Dentis who put down the teacup he was drinking with a clang sound.
Next to Vierano was Sedina Rochen, who was restless.
Besides the two, several other guests were gathered in the president’s office.
“Because putting out the urgent fire is the priority now.”
“Well, are the rumors really true?”
It was Selina who asked in a cautious voice.
From the fact that he came here to the identity of Ludger Chelsea.
Things that were difficult to understand happened all at once.
“joy. “If the rumors are true, that’s not important.”
It was Chris Benimore who snorted at those words.
“The important thing is why the president gathered us. “I’m also curious about why the student who is his assistant is here.”
Sedina, who received Chris’ gaze, felt intimidated because she felt like she had done something wrong.
It was Vierano who came forward to support Sedina.
“Mr. Chris Benimore. “Be careful what you say.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“What is here now is not a Sedina Roshen student. She is Sedina Plante. “He is the only important person who can communicate with the World Tree of our Elven Kingdom.”
When Vierano revealed Sedina’s identity, the audience was shocked.
“Now, wait a minute! What do you mean… … ?”
Merilda, who was next to Selina, asked back in surprise.
As Ludgar’s assistant, Sedina often showed herself to be diligent in her writing, but no one here knew that she was such a great elf.
“She is here now as an emissary of the Elven Kingdom. And please understand that I also came as an elder of the Elven Kingdom, not as a teacher to Seorn.”
“President. “Is that really true?”
“Well, it’s not wrong because it was stated that way in the contract in the first place. “I have no authority to force Elder Vierano.”
Elisha said with a smile.
“That’s not what’s important. “An official letter came this time.”
“If it’s an official document… … .”
“The evil enemy of the continent. It is said that Heathcliff van Bretus overthrew the current Holy Kingdom of Bretus and took over its capital’s citadel. “The Holy Emperor declared a temple there.”
“But why are we receiving an official letter…?” … no way?”
Chris mentioned a possibility he didn’t want to think about.
“Did you also request Seorn to participate in the war?”
“that’s right.”
“That doesn’t make sense!”
Merilda reacted violently.
“It makes no sense to make such a request to Seorn in the first place! Seorn is a place of teaching solely to educate wizards, but it is a temple!”
“Miss Merilda, please calm down a little.”
It was Wilford, Elisa’s assistant, who calmed down the fussing Merilda.
The atmosphere entered a lull for a moment.
Elisha continued.
“that’s right. Although we, Seorn, are within the empire, we have autonomy without being subject to the will of the empire. Even if you arbitrarily start a war and demand participation in it, you can easily ignore it. But the problem is that this is a temple.”
“sanctuary… … .”
“From the situation that occurred in the capital to the recent demonic incident. Isla Machina is now almost completely destroyed. It’s a very confusing situation. People’s fear is at its peak. “It is a crusade declared at that moment, so it has a strong compulsion that goes beyond any justification.”
“Is that possible? “Isn’t it their job?”
“Honestly, I think it’s strange too. No matter what, you can’t believe you’re arbitrarily declaring a temple like this. “This is just something that Seongguk will finish on his own, right?”
The problem happened next.
“Countries around the world are actively responding to the crusade.”
“What is that… … .”
“It was as if everyone was planning and attacking at the same time, and as if they had been waiting, they declared that they would participate in the crusade. “Clearly, something similar is happening in small and medium-sized countries that are cautious and weigh opportunities in these situations.”
Excluding the Elven Kingdom, the Beastman Tribe, and the Dwarven Village, except for the Southern Fatimid Dynasty.
Countries from across the continent have come together as one.
As so many absurd situations occurred one after another, it felt like my normal common sense would be destroyed.
“In this kind of atmosphere, no matter how much Seorn he is, he cannot blatantly refuse this excessive request.”
“but… … .”
Selina tried to say something in a trembling voice, but then closed her mouth.
The most confusing thing right now is because I didn’t know that it was President Elisa.
“Since the temple has already been opened, there is no use in wasting time by asking for time to think. So I had to make a choice.”
“Are you saying you want to fight?”
“I put a condition on it. Leave the students alone. Instead, it is only a select group of people that I have chosen to come forward.”
“Did the other person allow it?”
Elisa snorted at Chris Benimore’s question.
“What if I don’t allow it?”
Elisa’s golden eyes sparkled magically.
“They say I will provide it to them, but who would dare criticize that?”
Those are arrogant words.
But at the same time, considering Elisa’s skills, it was something that could be said.
“So that’s why you called us.”
“I have already finished talking with other teachers. All 4th grade teachers are scheduled to participate. Instead, on the condition that it be done through individual action. “I will participate in the holy war, but I have no intention of doing whatever they want.”
At that time, someone outside knocked harshly on the door.
Elisa’s eyes narrowed at the thumping sound.
“I told you not to disturb me because I was in a meeting.”
Elisha thought. Usually, there are two cases in this case.
first. The user is usually a person with no sense.
Or second.
Even in the current situation, an important issue has occurred that must be reported quickly.
“Come on in.”
Elisha saw it as the latter.
The door opened and one of the employees, covered in sweat, spoke urgently.
“Okay, President. Well, that’s a big deal.”
“What’s the big deal?”
“Bar, outside. “Someone came outside.”
At the employee’s next words, everyone gathered in the president’s office widened their eyes.
“The saint has arrived!”
* * *
Line lay on the bed in the dormitory and stared blankly at the ceiling.
‘Maybe it’s good.’
A few days have passed since Ludger was captured by the cult.
The news that came after that was all very scary.
‘sanctuary… … .’
The word war struck Rine very loudly.
‘Why? I’ve never experienced war before, but I realize that it’s so terrible that it should never happen.’
My eyes were tingling and hurting.
It was so painful that even though it was only for a moment, tears came out without me realizing it.
Although it was only a moment, a scene passed by in a blur.
‘What was that just now?’
It was too fast for me to see it clearly, but against the dark night, everything around me showed a devastated city.
And even something huge floating in the sky under the moonlight.
‘Something makes me feel sick.’
Line lay down on the bed and took a deep breath.
From what happened in the capital to Dreamland and Isla Machina.
She had been through a lot, and even when she was on the brink of death, Liné always tried hard to stay calm.
But the anxiety I was experiencing now was on a different level.
Is this what it feels like before the storm?
The subtly rumbling in this silence seemed to warn me in advance of how terrible what was to come would be.
‘The wind… … .’
Rine got up from bed and left the dormitory.
The place where Line’s steps were headed was the secret garden with the flower beds tended by Freuden.
Seeing the quiet flower bed with no one around, Liné sat down against a tree and closed her eyes.
It was noisy outside.
It wasn’t because of the temple. Did someone come to visit?
Liné thought it had nothing to do with her and decided to wait until this anxiety subsided first.
Sabak.
In the silence, the sound of stepping on the grass tickled Rine’s ears.
As far as Rine knew, there were only three people who could come to this secret garden.
Erendir, Freuden, Henry.
However, the sound of the footsteps seemed very light for a man, so Rine turned around, thinking it was Erendir.
The first thing you see is blonde hair and pure white skin that shines dazzlingly in the sunlight.
The light was so strong that the face was blurred and couldn’t be seen properly, so Liné strained her eyes.
Throbbing!
The pain in my eyes, where the pain had subsided a little, rose again.
But strangely, this time he didn’t frown or shed tears.
“what?”
The opponent was not Erendir.
I was confused for a moment because he was blonde, but when I looked closer, I saw that he was a completely different person.
He seemed more adult and mature, and even gave off a sacred aura.
Liné felt that the energy was strangely familiar.
Just as Line looked at the woman, the woman also looked at Line.
Line thought the woman’s eyes were as beautiful as if they contained the sky.
“Who are you?”
When Line asked innocently, the woman answered in a calm voice.
“Catherine.”
