Episode 029
Why… not a denomination but a ‘sect’?
The skeleton principal sensed something strange and asked.
Of course, he could have listened to the pros and cons of various denominations and tried to choose one of them.
however…
Strangely enough, what the boy from the Wodanaz family just said, of course not, sounded like this.
‘I would like to join several denominations. Please choose the best denominations.’
The skeleton headmaster thought he must have heard wrong.
“Uh… isn’t it wrong to believe in multiple gods?”
‘What a crazy guy!’
Principal Skeleton was impressed when he saw the new student for the first time in a long time.
Of course, there were people in the empire who sincerely believed in various gods. Something like believing in the God of Love and the God of Wisdom.
But now, that boy from the Wardanaz family had absolutely no intention of believing in God.
Doesn’t the intention to rip off enough to be ripped off from various denominations seem too bold?
He was so confident that I actually liked him.
Of course, many denominations may not think so, but…
That is correct. And I asked very well. It’s not wrong to believe in multiple gods. However, sometimes there are denominations that act petty about things like this.
“you’re right.”
Lee Han quickly agreed.
As the principal thought, Lee Han’s purpose was simple and clear.
‘Let’s join all possible denominations.’
When I thought about it, there was no reason not to go and sign up and receive various items.
It was beneficial to join all denominations except those that did not allow multiple memberships.
First of all, I recommend the Pricinga Church. He is a god who supports the world by sacrificing himself. The church members are also friendly and will welcome you.
“Pricinga… Cult.”
Lee Han took notes.
Will the Calasso Church be next? He is a mischievous god who loves chaos and change. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in other gods or not, they will treat you well.
“Calasso… Order.”
Lastly, I also recommend the Caporeo Order. He is the god of swordsmanship and swordsmen, so even an oddball like you will be welcomed.
“The Caporeo Order…”
Lee Han, who was taking notes, paused.
Did you know that Lee Han was taking swordsmanship classes?
‘no. ‘This is a bit scary.’
It was a trivial thing, but I thought there was too much interest in it.
I’ve never been happy to get a lot of attention from professors, especially crazy professors…
Learning swordsmanship is good, but don’t forget magic. In the end, the only truly great science is magic.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Lee Han bowed his head in a very polite manner at the words of the skeleton principal.
Of course, deep down, I was going in with one ear and letting it out out the other.
For Lee Han, magic was a means to success, not a goal.
hmm. okay. okay.
The Skeleton Headmaster nodded happily with the answer.
At first, I was shocked to hear that someone from the Wardanaz family was talking about joining the religious order, but seeing it like this made me look forward to it again.
‘He is truly not an ordinary guy.’
The enormous amount of magical energy or the ability to sense magical energy were secondary.
The patience to do anything to get what you want.
It was very interesting that he showed such patience even though he was a freshman from a great family called the Wardanaz family.
‘I’m looking forward to the future.’
Then I’ll have to go and see the guys in the corporal punishment room for a while. Good luck. Wardanaz.
“thank you. …hmm?”
Lee Han realized something was strange.
Where and who did you lock up?
But the skeleton principal was already flying far away.
* * *
Although he was curious about how many of the White Tiger Tower students were locked up in the corporal punishment room, Lee Han decided to visit the religious groups first.
“Where are you going?”
Joner returned with a basket in his hand and asked curiously.
“Pricinga Church…”
“ah. Pricinga Church. “I’ve always been interested…”
“…and the Order of Calasso.”
“??”
“And the Caporeo Order? hmm. It might not be possible to go all the way around today. “If it’s too explicit, it might be a bit off, so I’ll try changing it once a week.”
“……”
Rather than ask what happened, Yoner decided to just accept it.
ah. Lee Han just wants to believe in three gods!
“ruler. “Take this.”
Yoner took a sandwich out of the basket and held it out.
It was a sandwich filled with fillings such as ham, tomatoes, lettuce, and boiled and chopped eggs between white bread.

If you threw one to the hungry freshmen, it was food that they would kill each other to steal.
“Thank you. hmm. “How much?”
“…I’m just giving it to you…”
“what? really? why? “For what purpose?”
“It’s not what I want to say, but… you know what’s really special? It’s because I’m thankful for the hard work I did yesterday. ruler. “Eat quickly.”
Ihan nodded and accepted Yoner’s words. I was already hungry.
While Joner eagerly chewed his sandwich, he poured some cold apple juice and handed it to Ihan.
gulp-
“But where did this come from?”
“Don’t you usually ask that first? I got it from the Flemain Order. “Our family has been close to the Flemain Church for a long time.”
Flemain, god of alchemy.
The priests of this church were all excellent alchemists.
Yoner’s family, the Makin family, has long provided generous support to the Flemain Church.
Thanks to this, the priests of the Flemain Church recognized Yoner and provided him with various food items in a basket.
‘no. ‘What did the Wardanaz family do without sponsoring other denominations?’
Lee Han was impressed by the Makin family’s insight.
Doesn’t support in this way return the favor?
“…is it really like that?”
“what?”
As Yoner hesitated, Ihan was puzzled.
Are you talking about a combination of a sandwich and apple juice?
“Well, supporting the Flemain Church. “I also believe in Flemain…”
Just as Guyando got punched for saying ‘Is alchemy magic?’, there were quite a few arrogant wizards who looked down on alchemists.
When people say that they support or believe in the Flemain Church, there are people who sometimes say things like, ‘Why is it so undignified that someone from such a great family of the Empire supports such a religious order?’
Of course, Lee Han didn’t care one bit.
“Why can’t I sponsor it?”
“…yes?”
Yoner’s face brightened. Joner laughed and poured himself more apple juice.
“Drink more.”
“huh? There are still some left…”
Joner thought.
I thought it might be difficult to adapt to the Blue Dragon Tower due to my unusual personality, but with the boy in front of me now, it won’t be as difficult as I thought.

“I. “I came because I wanted to hear about Pricinga.”
“!”
As Lee Han approached, the priests raised their heads and smiled.
“welcome! Brother! You came because you wanted to hear about Prisinga. welcome!”
“yes. “I have heard various stories about Mr. Prisinga before, and I have admired the fact that there is such a great person.”
Lee Han spoke while hiding his true feelings.
Graduate students must be able to bow their heads with a respectful expression on the outside, even if they complain a lot on the inside.
Lee Han had an unrivaled ability to maintain facial expressions in this regard.
Naturally, the priests were completely enamored with Lee Han’s attitude.
At first glance, I would have thought that a noble boy from a great family would come to visit me like this.
“ruler! Come in! Teajeeling. “Can you help me?”
“I… I’m on my way now.”
“!”
Lee Han was surprised. This was because the sight of a student being called by priests was quite unfamiliar.
Two-pronged horns rising from the forehead with dark red skin. A spark seemed to flash and disappear in his timidly averted eyes.
‘Demon hybrid!’
It was the rarest of the mixed-race races. Lee Han had only heard about it, but it was his first time seeing it in person.
If one of your ancestors or ancestors made a contract with the devil, there will sometimes be people among their descendants who are affected in this way across generations.
Naturally, most people viewed this race with distaste. Perhaps because of that, the devil-mixed-blood girl’s every move felt timid and watchful.
“Hey, Tijiling is also a new student. It belongs to <Tower of the Eternally Burning Phoenix>.”
The priests spoke as if they were proud.
They were Phoenix Tower students who rarely interacted with other tower students, but when the priests of the church came to visit, they went out of their way to help.
“It’s really touching. I never thought there would be a friend here who believes in Prisinga. As expected, this is Prisinga.”
“Brother!”
The priests seemed very happy with Lee Han’s cursory praise.
‘however…’
Lee Han entered the tent and looked around.
There are two most important things when joining a denomination.
What can you get if you join a denomination?
And what should I do if I join the denomination?
Wouldn’t it be more uncomfortable if you joined a strange religious denomination and had to whip yourself every time you attended a meeting?
‘Maybe it’s because it’s a church tent, so it’s frugal.’
The inside of the tent was a grim sight. There were several benches, and on the altar in front was a sign that looked like the symbol of the Pricing family.
If it were ordinary, it could be said to be ordinary, but Lee Han had one feeling of discomfort.
‘Aren’t there too many artifacts here?’
There were many items in the tent that seemed strangely magical.
Even though enchanted items and artifacts were trivial, they were quite expensive and rare.
But those artifacts are swarming inside the tent.
Priests don’t seem particularly extravagant…
‘I’m sure you said Pricinga is a god who sacrifices himself to support the world, right? ‘Is this a god that has something to do with artifact creation?’
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
A short, thin priest approached Lee Han to give him an explanation.
“…?”
Surprisingly, every time the priest took a step, very deep footprints were left on the ground. Lee Han’s eyes opened wide.
“ah. Are you surprised? “Brother?”
The priest must have realized that Lee Han was surprised and opened his mouth with a smile.
“There is nothing to be surprised about. It’s because of the artifact I’m wearing. This is a cursed artifact. Brother. “It has the effect of increasing the sacred power that can be used instead of multiplying the weight.”
“ah. Did you accidentally wear it while exploring a dungeon or going on an adventure?”
“That’s not true, I wore it to honor Mr. Pricinga.”
“??”
“Prisinga is a person who supports the world by sacrificing himself. Shouldn’t we make sacrifices to that extent? Brother. “Every time we take away one of the world’s cursed artifacts, the world’s curse decreases.”
Pricinga Church.
To honor the god who was cursed to carry the world forever, the priests themselves wore cursed artifacts.
Their holy magic did not lift the curse contained in the artifact like other holy magic.
Instead, it had the extreme effect of strengthening both performance and curse.
As Lee Han slowly realized the truth, the color began to drain from his face.
Lee Han regretted.
‘I’m out of my mind. ‘I can’t believe I listened to the principal.’
I believed it for a moment because of the warm atmosphere of the conversation with the principal, but the madness emanating from the school was not normal.
A cult that deliberately wears cursed artifacts while living.
“…It seems like you don’t like it either.”
The priest was not an ordinary person.
Even though Lee Han managed his expression, he keenly noticed that he felt uncomfortable.
“no. “I’m so happy…”
“no. Brother. The path of devotion for Prisinga is actually a difficult and arduous path. If you change your mind now, it’s okay not to walk. “I understand.”
The priest said with a lonely smile.
Lee Han felt sorry, but checked the location of the exit out of the corner of his eye. Because the opponent could change at any time and catch him.
“This cursed belt was meant to be given to a new brother as a welcome sign… but after hearing the detailed explanation, everyone left. Well, it’s natural. A belt with a curse that absorbs magical power. Which brother would like it?”
“…for a moment. “How does that work?”
