Chapter 581

Even though Rowen knew that the pagans believed in the Cult of the Brave, he did nothing.

In fact, Rowen had no right to punish or judge them, so there was no reason to do it in the first place.

But Ludwig just felt the horror from that figure.

If I thought I had to use my hands, I felt like I would kill without remorse.

I had been moving with Rowen for about five days, but it was the first time I had seen him.

Come to think of it, while moving with Rowen, Ludwig had never encountered cultists.

warrior school.

Rowen believes in the Five Great Gods, and as its priest, he must have thought a lot about the Brave Soldiers.

An idol representing a warrior.

As Rowen watched it, her expression and eyes clearly changed.

Although he couldn’t tell what kind of emotion it was, Ludwig clearly saw emotions that could never be called positive swirl in those eyes.

“The Brave School… … .”

“… … .”

“Ludwig, do you really think that the people you saw earlier are the Brave Cultists?”

“Since they said so… … .”

“The cult of the brave is also an excuse.”

Rowen looks at Ludwig.

“There are quite a few heretics who pretend to be the Cult of the Braves to hide their true faith. When it comes to the cult of warriors, I think so and go over it, so I wear a mask.”

At those words, Ludwig could only nod slowly.

The cult of warriors doesn’t touch it.

That’s why, in an emergency, they call themselves warriors. Maybe they’ll back off.

“They were… … . Do you think I’m not a warrior cult?”

“well. I don’t know. The cult of warriors has different beliefs among themselves. In the first place, it wasn’t even decided what a true cult of warriors was, right?”

The cult of warriors is not a specific group.

It is spread all over the place like a folk belief, and it does not have a formalized belief system.

Just believing that Ellen Artorius will save everyone.

It is just dozens of hundreds of derived beliefs that vary within it.

The cult of warriors is not forbidden.

But it is clear that it is heresy. Because Ellen is not the God of the Five Greats.

Of course, if you go deep, it’s absolutely not irrelevant, but almost no one knows about it.

However, there are now more people who believe in the cult of warriors than those who believe in the main religion of the five great religions. Therefore, pagans in the majority can no longer be pagans.

This is because they have no substance and no core, so it is impossible to root them out.

Many heretics are killed by the guards, and some of them are followers of the Cult of Heroes.

However, if everyone is killed for believing in the cult of warriors, people will disappear from the refugee camp.

“Strictly speaking, the root of many cults in the refugee camp may be rooted in the cult of warriors.”

Even if they wear the mask of the cult of warriors, the real cult of warriors is not certain.

“But it’s funny. In the first place, the Braves are a heresy, so what difference does it make if a heretic wears a mask?”

It’s just a heresy that has grown so big that it can’t be a heresy.

From the standpoint of the main religion of the five great religions, the religion of the warriors must have been a more difficult faith than the religion of demons.

Rowen looks up at the sky and exhales.

“The hero saves everyone… … .”

She looks at Ludwig and smiles.

“Ludwig must have lived a temple life like the hero, right?”

“… … yes.”

The Demon King and the Warrior.

It was to the point that Ludwig thought that the fact that he had seen such a bizarre and fateful entanglement from nearby was somehow a strange and grotesque fate.

The demon lord who is hated by everyone.

The hero who became everyone’s hope.

He was one of the people who watched their, perhaps normal, side by side.

I’ve been watching the false peace of the Demon King and the Hero for quite some time.

Even now, Ellen was back at Temple.

Probably, if things went back like this, countless people would have dinner together with Ellen, who was hanging around to see at least her toes.

Ludwig couldn’t believe that such a thing was possible for a small, lousy being like himself.

Those who want to see Ellen’s face cut a piece of wood that doesn’t even resemble them and pray there, but Ludwig can have a meal with Ellen and talk about what happened today.

Even, did not Ellen calmly explain to the question asked because she did not know what an archbishop was?

What people think of as warriors.

The real Ellen that you can see.

The gap between them was too great.

“The Demon King said he didn’t know, but what kind of person is the hero?”

“… … .”

Rowen asks curiously.

Just looking at it, I couldn’t help but know that Rowen had a lot of antipathy towards the cult of warriors.

But isn’t the cult of warriors different from being a warrior?

Of course, Ludwig knows that people are arbitrarily projecting such expectations onto Ellen. The cult of warriors is completely unrelated to the real Ellen.

Not the hero of the Cult of Braves, but the real Ellen Artorius.

what kind of person is she

Ludwig rarely talked to Ellen when the Temple was functioning.

Even after the gate incident broke out, Ellen only headed for extremely dangerous battlefields, so there were few things to encounter.

That’s why, in the situation where the allied forces were advancing, there was only occasional conversation with Ellen or watching at the Royal Class garrison.

Ellen is strong.

Ellen is great.

Ellen is self-sacrificing.

A lot of words ran through his head, but Ludwig didn’t seem to be able to organize what kind of person Ellen was with those words.

That’s a story everyone knows.

Ellen, whom Ludwig had seen.

Ellen was closest to Reinhardt.

“Ellen… … . Probably the biggest victim of all of this… … . I think.”

victim.

Ludwig had no choice but to organize his thoughts like that.

Ellen stayed with Reinhardt without knowing anything.

Strictly speaking, I think Ellen must have loved Reinhardt.

maybe even now

However, the Demon King approached Ellen. No, the Demon King approached others as well.

After everything went wrong, there were people who followed the demon king, but Ellen did not.

Ellen was betrayed by Reinhardt.

So why not be a victim?

Ludwig had no choice but to say that when he remembered the image of Ellen, who always seemed resolute but had deep sadness in her eyes.

“A victim… … ?”

“yes.”

At Rowen’s words, Ludwig nodded.

I didn’t want to talk about the details because it would only hurt. It’s Ellen’s personal story, and it’s a story that might crack people’s trust in the hero.

I had no intention of telling Rowen that the hero might have loved the demon lord.

just a victim.

I had no choice but to organize myself as a victim of all of this.

I thought so.

“iced coffee… … .”

Ludwig saw Rowen’s lips curl up.

“So, you know… … .”

For some reason, Ludwig felt eerie about Rowen’s strange laugh.

“… … Is there any problem?”

At Ludwig’s question, Rowen shook his head.

“No, just… … . I just said it.”

Rowen walked down the street praying again, and Ludwig silently stood by his side.

* * *

When all the cleaning work was finished, the snow piled up to the ankle.

“Let’s go back. I’ll have to come back to check again tomorrow… … .”

Rowen had no choice but to stop and stop.

An alleyway in a refugee camp.

Although they couldn’t be said to be strong, those who seemed to have obvious hostility stood in the way of Rowen and Ludwig.

When Ludwig looked back, there was another group of refugees blocking the retreat.

Ludwig did not know who they were or why they were blocking the road.

but obvious hostility.

And there were definitely some faces I saw earlier.

“Ludwig.”

“yes.”

Ludwig immediately understood what Rowen was saying.

Ludwig immediately grabbed Rowen by the waist and hung him by his side.

“Wow!”

The grip was so tight that Rowen let out a small scream.

-thud!

Ludwig’s body, engulfed in blue magic, jumped about 10 meters in an instant and jumped over those blocking the path.

No matter what their intentions were when they approached Rowen and Ludwig, it was impossible to follow them as they quickly disappeared.

* * *

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, maybe… … .”

Ludwig carefully put down Rowen, who was holding it almost like a burden.

“Eggu… … .”

Rowen straightened his back and made a sound of pain.

“that… … . sorry. I’m too… … .”

“No, because I couldn’t help it.”

In an instant, he escaped from that clumsy siege. However, there were at least ten people who besieged Ludwig and Rowen.

It was very difficult to see as a simple robbery. Rowen scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

“Have you seen people before?”

“yes… … . clearly.”

I saw some, but not all, of those who called themselves Braves.

It’s hard to see them being particularly reckless.

First of all, Rowen is a weak-looking person, and even Ludwig is one-armed and unarmed.

It was only natural that he feared the spear-carrying guards more than Rowen and Ludwig.

The if-if of what Rowen always said. He had just been through it.

They tried to attack the priest, and Rowen is an archbishop-level priest.

Even the pagans tried to kill her directly.

“It’s not uncommon for pagans to form a dangerous level of power. But it doesn’t seem like that just now.”

“What happens when such forces are formed?”

“well? Anyway, isn’t it important that it wasn’t that way this time?”

Rowen deliberately turned away.

“Let’s go back. I’m glad no one was hurt.”

However, as if nothing had happened, Rowen took the lead, and Ludwig blankly followed.

When he saw the cultists, he showed a serious spirit, but rather, he had an attitude that he had taken care of everything now that he was about to be attacked.

Ludwig couldn’t get a hold of Rowen.

But in the end, it was fortunate for Ludwig that no one was hurt and it went on like this.

“By the way, Ludwig runs really well. His eyes went round and round.”

“ah… … . that… … . It is one of my few specialties.”

At Ludwig’s humble words, Rowen smiled softly.

“is it so? What other specialties do you have?”

“well… … . I do not know. Except for the fact that I’m a bit better than others… … .”

“Doesn’t that sound like a bit? Isn’t just being able to enhance magical power already a great specialty?”

“yes? ah… … .”

“Aren’t there many people who despair because they can’t even do that?”

What Rowen said is true.

No matter how much Ludwig lost his arm and couldn’t fight properly, ordinary people couldn’t even dare to chase Ludwig once he leaped.

The fact that Ludwig is a person who has reached the level of a superman and can never fall into the category of mediocre remains the same.

“I thought Ludwig was a humble person, but after hanging out with him for a few days, I don’t think he is.”

“… … .”

“Humility without respect is self-torture.”

Humility is not thinking of yourself as insignificant.

Ludwig considers himself insignificant. So it’s not humility.

Ludwig couldn’t help but be speechless at Rowen’s words that he was only self-torturing.

Because Ludwig knew best that this was happening.

“Is it really necessary?”

“Precious people… … . lost.”

“I see.”

“If I had been a little stronger, if I had been a little wiser, if I had been a little better… … .”

Ludwig spoke quietly, with empty eyes.

“If I were strong, I would lose people I didn’t have to lose… … . It seems to make me think that way.”

In the end, he could do nothing but blame himself for his incompetence.

He wanted to die on the battlefield, but even that was a nuisance to others, so he was kicked out.

“But the fact that I can still do anything… … . I feel fortunate.”

I think Ludwig found something like hope in resignation.

This will end someday, but it’s what everyone needs.

Helping Rowan. The only smart thing you can do.

“So I thank the priest.”

“hmm… … .”

she tilted her head.

“You know that Tuan priests can’t date or get married, right?”

“It doesn’t mean that at all… … !”

“Oh, that’s surprising.”

Rowen laughed for a while as he watched Ludwig, whose face was reddened.

a strange person

Looking at Rowen, Ludwig had a hard time figuring out what kind of person he was.

So, in Ludwig’s eyes, Rowen was a strange person.

At first, I thought he was a saint, but he had a twisted belief in God. But in the end he didn’t come across as a bad guy because in his fanatical belief he was looking for the best he could for himself.

When I faced the cultists, I was afraid to do anything to them, but in reality I did no harm to them.

And sometimes they say strange things that don’t make sense.

Ludwig had no idea what kind of priest the priest in front of him was.

Sometimes he seems like a nice person, sometimes he seems like a crazy person, and sometimes he seems like he’s sane because he’s a crazy person.

A priest from a cold country in the north.

Ludwig doesn’t think he’s smart, but he doesn’t easily forget what he hears.

said Ellen.

A bishop is a lord, and an archbishop is a lord.

Not necessarily, but usually.

Heinrich said.

There may have been many archbishops who took refuge in the ecliptic. Archbishops who lost the temples they were supposed to be in charge of. That’s why it might not be strange to have an archbishop-level priest roaming the streets.

Rowen said.

Before the Gate incident, he was at the level of a bishop, but after the Gate incident, he assumed an undeserved position to fill someone’s vacant position.

Now that there are only a handful of safe lands, there will be no archbishop in the role of high lord.

That said, Rowen was not an archbishop of the same position as the high lord.

It means that he was elevated to the rank of archbishop, taking on some other responsibility other than governing the territory or administering the archbishopric.

Was he given the office of Archbishop because of this work of purifying disease?

“Rowen.”

“Yes, Ludwig.”

“What you do as an Archbishop… … . Is this all?”

“iced coffee… … .”

Rowen nods slowly as if he understands what Ludwig is asking.

“Well, I guess it’s a combination of both sides.”

“Come and join?”

“yes.”

Rowen walks calmly and exhales white breath.

“People keep dying in the ecliptic.”

“… … yes.”

“There are many heresies.”

“Yes.”

“In a place where unlucky and ominous things continue to happen, strange things keep happening.”

Rowen’s expression darkened even more as he said that.

“Ludwig may not have seen it yet, but there are cases where a corpse wakes up as an undead.”

“… … Is that enough?”

The word undead gave Ludwig goose bumps all over his body.

“If unclean energy is misused, strange things are bound to happen. For example, the wrong consciousness of heresy. It’s like praying to an unclean power.”

“iced coffee… … .”

“The reason I looked a little strange earlier was because I saw too many strange things while wandering around the refugee camp.”

Certainly, Rowen was smiling, but he couldn’t hide his cold air.

Was it because he was worried about the negative aftermath that his wrong consciousness might bring?

“Isn’t it meaningless or too risky to pray to an unknown, unknown authority at a time when even relying on the right authority is not enough?”

“okay… … .”

“Part of my job is to make sure that happens. If it can be dealt with, deal with it.”

It is in a similar context to the clean-up of infectious diseases.

He wanders around looking for things he needs, and if he can solve them, he solves them.

“Although something very strange has happened recently, so I’m focusing on that issue.”

“Is it weird?”

“… … ah! Everything is here.”

After talking for a while, we arrived at the temple of Tuan where Rowen was staying.

“Ludwig, be careful going in. You know tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, are you talking until nine?”

“hmm… … . By the way, can you come a little earlier than usual tomorrow?”

“Anything special… … ?”

“no?”

Rowen smiles at Ludwig.

“Let’s have some tea before we leave tomorrow. Just the two of you.”

Rowen winked at Ludwig and sprinted into the temple.

What a strange person.

Ludwig couldn’t get rid of that thought.

I had a strong feeling that she was about to say something.

strange thing.

When I tried to ask about it, it felt like the conversation had been cut off from her side.

and.

‘They say they live while moving temples… … .’

Although it was only the fifth day.

Rowen had never moved to a temple other than this shabby one.

Ludwig returns to the Temple.

Today, no one was hurt.

Ludwig was satisfied and grateful for this job.

– Phat!

In a warp spot located on the ecliptic, a group of people and supplies appeared with an intense flash.

Large-scale material and personnel transfer using mass teleport.

“here… … .”

Louise von Schwarz was able to arrive at Gradium, the snowy ecliptic, late at night.

Arrived alone, without a single attendant. He had come alone because he was the only one who had permission to enter the temple.

She looks around from the gloomy snowy ecliptic.

“… … ?”

obviously.

Without a single attendant, Louise didn’t even know where she was on the ecliptic.

Louise has to go to the temple.

However, since there are virtually no attendants, there is no way to know the way.

“What kind of eyes are like this… … .”

Even the falling snow restricts your view.

So, she vomited the spirit of arriving at the imperial palace, the exact opposite of going to the temple.
