Episode 127

Return (2)

Kay, who had closed her eyes and reverently recited a prayer, opened her eyes a moment later.

And he smiled humbly at Jeongdo.

“greatness. This was rude in front of guests. When I thought of that person, I couldn’t help but stop… .”

“no. it’s okay. Rather, that Jesus… Can I hear more about this person? “To be honest, I can’t believe it.”

It may have been a bit rude to those who believe in God, but I couldn’t help but ask the extent of it.

According to his expectations, Jesus would definitely be a person from heaven.

In other words, someone in heaven was impersonating Jesus on Earth.

It was truly absurd, but unfortunately, the impersonation seemed to be working well. At least when you look at Kay in front of you.

‘What is the reason?’

The people of Earth are not fools and there is no way they would believe someone who suddenly calls themselves Jesus. There must be a reason why that impersonation works. To some extent, I was curious about that.

“hmm. That’s right. Honestly, I know it sounds unbelievable. Right now, even within our Knights of the Round Table, opinions are divided on whether it is real or not. No, if you look at the entire planet, there are probably more people who don’t believe.”

Hearing Kay’s words, Jeongdo internally breathed a sigh of relief. At least it wasn’t the worst situation where the entire Earth believed in the resurrection of Jesus.

“But that is because he has not yet appeared. Soon everyone on Earth will acknowledge the existence of Jesus. “I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.”

Kei said that and came right in front of Jeongdo. And he whispered as if telling a very important secret.

“This is the person who performs ‘miracles.’”

“… miracle?”

It’s a miracle.

Jesus Christ was certainly a man famous for his miracles. Of course, the authenticity of the miracle was unknown.

‘Did you at least walk on water?’

To a certain extent, there was no particular religion that I believed in. Not only that, there wasn’t even much interest.

Therefore, that was all that could immediately come to mind when I heard the word Jesus’ miracle. However, Kay’s answer went far beyond Jeongdo’s imagination.

“He raised the dead.”

“… … .”

Jeongdo fell into silence at the unexpected remark, but Kei didn’t care and continued talking.

“Ever since the spot was created in England, monsters have been appearing there. Of course, we, the Knights of the Round Table, subdued those monsters. “It was very easy at first.”

The degree to which he came to his senses nodded. This is something she herself experienced once. In the early days, the spot was a hunting ground overflowing with honey.

“But I let my guard down. We advanced deep into the spot, where we encountered the S-class monster Dullahan.”

“hmm… .”

S-class monster.

To him, S-class monsters were very easy monsters, but to them, they were no different from disaster. He probably suffered great harm. And as if her predictions were correct, Kay opened her mouth.

“The comrade who was at the forefront of Dullahan’s attack was cut in half and the formation collapsed. “When everyone thought it was the end, he appeared.”

That person.

There was no need to say who it was.

“Jesus appeared accompanied by two angels. While the two angels were dealing with the Dullahan, Jesus approached us. And he smiled benevolently and waved his hand once and-!”

Kay’s face was red as if she was extremely excited. He raised his voice and began to criticize Jeong Do.

“Surprisingly, a colleague who had been cut in half was revived. And all of the guild members’ wounds were healed. “Isn’t this truly a miracle?”

“… “That’s amazing.”

I’m not sure if it’s a miracle or not, but it was definitely amazing to resurrect a human being who had been cut in half. The strongest healer currently on Earth is French SS-level user Joan of Arc. Even if she poured out all of her mana, it didn’t seem like such a thing would be possible.

‘Is the guy from heaven specializing in recovery magic?’

There was nothing to know now. It was something that could only be known by meeting and observing it in person. Jeongdo asked Kay.

“I’d like to meet you too. “Can we possibly meet?”

“Ah, he is currently in seclusion as he is making the Holy Grail. “It probably won’t be possible to meet you right now.”

“… yes? “Holy Grail?”

Another unexpected word popped out. Jeongdo said, tracing her memories.

“It was definitely a cup containing the blood of Jesus.”

The degree muttered like that. Ixia responded to those words.

<It’s very ominous because it contains blood.>

is it?

On Earth, the image of the Holy Grail was that of a precious holy relic, so it was far from ominous… I thought it might feel that way because it contained blood.

“But why the Holy Grail? “Isn’t that already there?”

I thought I heard it was in a museum somewhere. Kay answered that question.

“Jesus said that if we have the Holy Grail, we can effectively stop monsters from attacking Earth. I heard that the existing Holy Grail is too old to be used and that they are making it again. Now, some of our guild members have left to find ingredients for the Holy Grail.”

“Ohh. How amazing? “What are the ingredients?”

It was then.

The smile disappeared from Kay’s face, which had been smiling and smiling kindly until now. But that moment was very brief and an expression of apology soon appeared.

“sorry. I can’t tell you that far because it’s a guild situation. In fact, based on what I have told you so far, this is an issue that could result in disciplinary action if it becomes known to the outside world… .”

“Oh, that’s right. really. “Excuse me.”

“no. So what would you do? If only the Holy Grail were made, we would be able to see Jesus. Would you like to wait?”

“yes. I really want to meet you sometime. “I’ll be indebted to you for a while.”

“haha. What is your situation? “It is an infinite honor to be able to serve Triple S.”

With those words, Jeong-do received guidance and headed to the lodgings near the guild.

* * * * * *

“It’s a face I really can’t get used to.”

Jeongdo muttered that in front of the bathroom mirror. The mirror reflected the image of a very handsome man. The corners of my mouth began to rise without my knowledge.

“But he doesn’t look like anyone else.”

Jeong Do thought of himself as a handsome man, but that was his opinion alone, and the <Handsome Man> actor ripped Jeong Do’s face without mercy.

However, that doesn’t mean that the <Handsome> talent completely changed Jeong Do’s face.

Didn’t the Knights of the Round Table recognize it as soon as they saw it? Although he was handsome, some of his features remained.

The eyebrows became thicker, the eyes became slightly larger, and the double eyelids became more attractive than before. The skin became soft, like that of a baby, and even the complexion improved. In addition, the skeleton became ideal, and even the left and right balance of the face was perfectly adjusted.

It was a human face that looked handsome even with just the lighting.

As for the face now, it felt like each and every facial feature had changed to become more compatible while maintaining the original facial features. And that too without any traces of plastic surgery.

If a famous plastic surgeon in Seoul were to see Jeong Do’s before and after photos, it was clear that he would praise him for showing his sincerity.

‘It hurt so bad… It’s good.’

After taking a shower, he came out of the bathroom. After drying her body with a towel and changing into comfortable clothes, she drank cold water.

‘Then what should I do now?’

Jeong-do sat down on the soft bed and was lost in thought.

Contrary to his handsome face, the current situation was not very good. Jeongdo recalled the news he had heard before arriving at this lodging.

‘The saint’s whereabouts are missing.’

The news that Jesus appeared was, of course, shocking news that hit the earth.

Most people seemed to treat it as a rumor, but there were people who could not treat it as just a rumor due to their status.

He was a pope and a saint.

Not to mention the Pope, and the saints also had a position that could not be ignored in Christianity. To begin with, she was also a faithful Christian believer.

Jeongdo was curious about the saint’s reaction to the appearance of Jesus, so he asked the guild member who guided him to his lodgings about the saint, and was told something shocking.

“Joan of Arc? She is currently unavailable. “Some of her guild members are also currently looking for her.”

French SS-level user.

Saint Joan of Arc.

She was currently missing.

The guild member’s explanation was as follows.

The saint naturally responded to the appearance of Jesus. She immediately contacted her in England and told him that she wanted to meet Jesus.

And the being called Jesus also responded that he wanted to meet the saint, and the British government directly invited the Pope and the saint as state guests. For the British government, it was natural for them to take an active role since this historic meeting was taking place in their own country.

And then the incident occurred.

The saint disappeared after arriving in England. She stayed at a hotel near the airport and she has not been seen since. She could only vaguely guess that she had been attacked by someone, as there was a large hole in one of the walls of her room.

Naturally, England was in an uproar.

How could it not be so, since the guest invited as a state guest has gone missing in his own country? Naturally, he released his manpower to search, but could not find the slightest trace.

Today was exactly the third day since the saint went missing. Jeongdo stroked her chin and was lost in her thoughts.

‘There’s definitely something there.’

An Elyos who suddenly appeared a week ago and calls himself Jesus.

And a saint who went missing.

Jeongdo was convinced that these two incidents were definitely related. Although I didn’t know the exact details. but.

‘If you don’t know, just ask.’

Jeong Do widened his eyes and opened his mouth as if he wasn’t going to miss out this time.

“Winry. “You know, right?”

“yes. of course. Mr. Jeongdo.”

She answered immediately, as if she had been waiting for Jeongdo to call her. And of course, this time too, I couldn’t see her appear.

She bowed her head modestly.

“long time no see. Mr. Jeongdo. Congratulations on your safe return.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Light greetings were exchanged. And he said it bluntly.

“Winry. “Do you know why I looked for you?”

“of course. “You probably have a lot of questions to ask.”

“Can you answer me?”

Jeongdo looked at Winry a little nervously. Winry clearly had a crush on her and was trying to accommodate her somehow, but she didn’t tell him everything. No, she couldn’t tell me exactly.

Sometimes I couldn’t hear the information because I didn’t have enough class.

Sometimes, information could not be heard due to space balance issues. And this time, Winry’s answer was the same.

“Anything I know. However, we cannot provide information that is unilaterally advantageous to one side of the universe without compensation. “I am a being who must view the entire universe neutrally.”

In short, it meant that information that could be detrimental to the heavenly world could not be given out carelessly.

However, Jeongdo was relieved by Winry’s answer.

The fact that you can’t tell something without compensation means that you can tell it if there is a price for it. And Jeongdo had something worth paying for.

“Winry. “Can I use points?”

“It’s a wise choice.”

Winry answered with a slight smile.

The points are earned from the Demon World. There was clearly information in the explanation that it could be exchanged for compensation from Winry in the future. Winry began explaining to Do.

“The points you have earned are a quantification of your achievements. You can use your points to purchase various items or ask unauthorized questions. “I’ll print out the catalog for you.”

With those words, a long notification window appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes. The notification window listed items that could be purchased with points. Jeong-do looked through the catalog and exclaimed in admiration.

“There is nothing missing.”

It was literally like that. There was really nothing missing.

‘Elf Tears’ that restore all the mana seen in the Dwarf Dungeon.

‘Elixir’ that permanently increases abilities

A variety of weapons and armor that will attract anyone’s attention.

There were items that were effective for everyone, and there were also items that only a limited number of people could use.

“and. They also sell tickets.”

Confirmed road ticket.

Tickets that he frequently used were on sale from diamond to white. It was also divided in detail into trial tickets and non-trial tickets. Of course, the regular ticket was much more expensive. Jeongdo checked the price of the white ticket and let out a short groan.

“… 10,000.”

It was ridiculously expensive. No, considering the performance of the white figure, it wasn’t that expensive, but considering the points I was currently holding, it felt expensive.

‘Now that you think about it, how many points do I have?’

I was so preoccupied with the product that I couldn’t think about the situation of my wallet. This is because although he told me how many points I had earned each time I completed an achievement through the notification window, it did not tell me the total points earned. The degree asked Winry.

“Winry. “How many points did I earn in total?”

“It’s exactly 36,479 points. You’ve earned a lot. Excellent.”

“oh. It’s more than I thought. “How many points do I need to ask questions about heaven?”

It was much more than I thought. At this level, you will be able to ask everything you want and do plenty of shopping. However, her face hardened at Winry’s next words.

“It’s 20,000 points.”

“… crazy.”

You can’t even ask two questions?!

The price of one question is the price of two white tickets.

Let’s just stop asking questions and go shopping. How many elf tears does 20,000 points cost? Should I just skip it and pray that heavenly information is drawn through <Information Draw>?

I had that thought for a moment, but quickly changed my mind. This was because it was judged that it would be difficult to obtain the desired information through the <Information Draw> as the current Earth takes a different path from the real Earth in the universe.

In the end, Jeong-do decided to ask the question.

‘Let’s not regret it.’

One short line of information can change the world. Jeongdo was lost in thought.

‘What should I ask?’

What is Jesus?

Or the whereabouts of the saint?

Both were very interesting questions. And then I made a decision and told Winry.

“Tell me about the Holy Grail.”

The choice was neither of the two. Jeongdo chose the information about the Holy Grail that he heard during the day.

Kay said it was a sacred object needed to save the world… Jeongdo didn’t believe that. And that wasn’t just Jeongdo’s idea.

<… An object containing blood. It’s ominous.>

These were the first words Ixia said upon hearing about the Holy Grail.

If she, who has talent <Persimmon-lv.2>, said that, then this had to be seen as a suspicious item. Do-do, trusting his own judgment and Ixia’s sense, asked her about the Holy Grail.

and.

That question was correct. Winry smiled slightly and answered Dodo.

“When a being from the upper universe comes to the lower universe, a penalty is given according to the laws of the dimension. “The Holy Grail of Heaven is a device to circumvent that penalty.”

“… Eck?”

“The Holy Grail is a celestial figure. And it is made by mixing half and half the blood of the person in the universe that Heaven is about to invade. The mixing of blood is an act of great significance when seen from the universe. This is because it means that both sides have given permission to each other. To put it simply, it is used as a symbol that the Earth has allowed Heaven to come.”

As Winry continued to speak, her mouth widened. Because she had a sense of how things were going.

“The more blood you offer, the greater the effect. If you pay with life rather than blood, you can get over with almost no penalty. Of course, it is not just anyone’s blood. The tendencies of the two beings who mix blood must be very similar, and their mana must also be excellent. If we consider the Earth… <Saint> is the most likely.”

“… Damn you guys.”

Ramon once said that the heavenly world is of much worse quality than the demonic world. He hated the demon world to some extent, but at this moment, he agreed with that opinion.

Ixia’s sense was very accurate.

The Holy Grail was a keyword that explained both the purpose of heaven and the reason why the saint went missing.
