Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 41

Episode 41

Under the night sky with a full moon, Aiden was sitting on a high watchtower, feeling the cool sea breeze.

The chant sung by Yuriel rang softly.

The beautiful melody healed the injured body and comforted the wounded hearts. Numerous people were sitting around Uriel with their eyes closed.

Exactly four days. She did not rest even for a single day, reaching out to people and working tirelessly to convert at least one person.

Around this time, Iden was quietly looking down at the scene.

A chain flew through the tone and caught on the watchtower.

“Wait a minute… Ugh!”

Daryl and Euron appeared in an instant. It soared high enough to obscure the moon, and then crashed down onto the watchtower where Iden was sitting.

Daryl landed hard. I slowly got up and scratched the back of my head.

“Oh, I’m sorry. “I tried to swoop down like a wildcat, but it was heavier than I thought and I couldn’t control my strength.”

“Daryl! They used me as an excuse again… Ugh, that’s it.”

Euron looked at Aiden and lowered his head.

“I interrupted you. sorry.”

After saying that, Euron handed Aiden a wooden cup. Daryl interjected.

“Compared to the West, it’s not that cool, but it’s not that bad when you go over your neck.”

It was a cold beer. It was a drink enjoyed by the inhabitants of this world, but it did not suit Aiden at all.

Even if it was just a mild beer, I occasionally thought about it. Now, Iden willingly took over.

“I have something to tell you. Can I sit down for a moment?”

Iden nodded to Daryl.

The two sat side by side across from Aiden and glanced at each other.

“Speak comfortably.”

Euron hesitated before opening his mouth.

“It’s about our skills. “I felt like it was not enough to serve the scriptures, so after much deliberation, I came here.”

Daryl also nodded with an uncharacteristically serious expression.

The current two were talented enough to feed one person no matter where they were sent.

Daryl was like that from the beginning, and Euron had improved his skills by training while sleeping less at night after meeting the Sword Saint.

However, the path that Iden took was so far from common sense that they could not handle it.

It will be the same no matter what kind of seed you put on it.

Euron and Daryl understood exactly why Iden did not take them to the deep sea.

The two may have died.

Aiden said calmly.

“Do you want to quit?”

The two shook their heads vigorously.

“I want to serve the Lord until my last breath.”

“It’s the same for me too. “You kept my dagger in your care, didn’t you?”

Iden looked a little puzzled.

“Say exactly what you want to say.”

Euron cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

“If you allow me, I would like to stay in the North for a while.”

“If we continue to be ruled by old people, the day will come when we too will have to act like humans.”

The message was to send it to the sword saint Gielan.

I thought it was quite special.

Iden, who was lost in thought for a moment, smiled slightly and nodded.

“The old man must be lonely too. I will officially appoint you there. “Get rid of everything and come back.”

Euron bent his waist at a right angle. Daryl grinned.

“I won’t disappoint you.”

“I will even take out your marrow and eat you. “It will get better.”

I was proud to see that he was not frustrated by his helplessness and had a burning desire to improve.

I couldn’t understand the psychology of abandoning a comfortable life and following a thorny path, but I was also grateful for his unconditional loyalty.

Before I knew it, Iden had come to regard these people, whose names were not even mentioned in the original work, as colleagues.

I thought it would be nice to come back stronger. Enough to survive the coming future.

Daryl carefully lifted his glass.

“Can I share a toast? “As long as it doesn’t violate etiquette.”

Aiden chuckled and tapped their glasses.

Daryl shouted loudly.

“For the liberator—!”

The voice was so loud that it rang through the night sea.

The moment Euron tried to follow, Iden stopped him with his hand.

He pointed to Yuriel.

“You must not disturb.”

Daryl smiled humbly and slightly bowed his head towards Yuriel. Of course, I couldn’t see the saint because she was singing passionately.

Iden took a sip of the cold drink and opened his mouth.

“When the sun rises, we go to land.”

I couldn’t stay on this sea forever. Most people would have converted and food was almost gone.

Of course, there were tribesmen who kept their beliefs to the end, but they were the type that could not be persuaded by any means.

I would rather choose death.

Daryl and Euron stood up.

“I will inform the captain.”

Aiden nodded and scanned the gathered people.

The interrogators dispatched by the church have already arrived and are waiting for them.

Even as Aiden, there was no reason to stop the church’s execution.

I just hoped that Yuriel’s hard work would save as many lives as possible.

Also, Iden guessed that it would be bothersome for a while.

This case was purely arbitrariness, so there was no room for excuses even if it was related to disciplinary action.

You will be stranded for a while. Of course, it was something I did with the intention of dealing with it. Therefore, there was no damage.

Almost 3 years. The results exceeded the plan, and all the necessary powers and relics were obtained.

Since the expedition would have been canceled, manpower would have been released. From now on, there was no need to worry about the outskirts.

Aiden emptied the remaining beer in his glass and came down from the watchtower and headed to the cabin.

*

The port was filled with so many people that there was no room for movement.

There were residents of Illyas. They prayed that there were no humans aboard the ship visible at the edge of the horizon. This is because they wanted to somehow deny the fact that they had eaten their own people.

There were many imperial citizens who flocked from other territories. They wanted to join hands with the great hero recorded in the Bible. It was due to the superstition that people were going to heaven.

Clergy from nearby parish offices arrived and waited. I was deeply contemplating whether to arrest Iden. Because no orders were given from the church.

The lord of Ilyas led a private army and controlled the port. His miserable state was clearly revealed on his face. The territory’s greatest specialty was humans. While I was sighing, someone shouted.

“It’s a person! “People are riding!”

The voice of a man with good eyesight shook the crowd.

Soon, dozens of ships slowly appeared. Accordingly, people’s eyes became increasingly wide.

This is because I saw things that filled each boat.

Cheers erupted everywhere. Heat began to engulf the port.

People were crying out loud as if they were screaming. Their despair struck like a chord.

Emotions that could not be mixed swirled together and spread out into the ocean.

Iden watched them from the bow. After checking the steeply rising nobility and divinity levels, he turned his attention to the tribe.

They were looking at the world with blank eyes.

A world with open ceilings and open spaces.

The border between the sea and the sky disappeared, but beyond it, the land and sky were pressed together again.

Even if I turned my head in all directions, the world did not end. There was no curtain blocking the view.

My chest was pierced. The subtle frustration I always felt was sublimated into a sense of liberation and disappeared like melting snow.

Some people sat down and shed tears, while others let out gasps.

Yuriel quietly approached. Iden looked down at her legs.

“Get treatment as soon as you return.”

She smiled slightly.

“Can we afford that? “They will be investigated first.”

“It’s enough to accuse someone of hearing a revelation from God.”

Yuriel looked at Aiden with a mischievous expression.

“That is blasphemous.”

Aiden turned his head straight ahead without answering. A ship is already entering the port. Sailors began building a bridge to land.

It will take quite a while for all the tribesmen on the ship to disembark. Aiden took the first step, supporting Uriel.

The city erupted in cheers that seemed to leave the city.

Since the Bible describes history from the perspective of a hero, the empire was virtually at a standstill for 200 years.

However, history began to flow again.

People were overwhelmed just by the fact that they were at the scene together.

If I shout louder and cheer more enthusiastically than anyone else, won’t I leave a mark on my name? Those feelings were also mixed.

The voice calling for Aiden shook the heavens and the earth.

At that time, the clergy of the church broke through the crowd and stormed into the dock.

Three paladins and dozens of priests. And they were new soldiers, including several priests.

A man wearing holy armor took a step toward Iden.

“I am the paladin Leoric. “It is an honor to meet you.”

“This is Iden. “Me too.”

The two held hands. And the moment he took it off, Leoric looked at Iden with a solemn face.

“I will respect the Lord. “We will not arrest you, so please cooperate.”

Uriel and Aiden’s expressions calmly sank. Because it was expected.

Iden nodded.

“I will cooperate. However, please also respect the human rights of the Seyrun tribe. “There should be no unnecessary harsh treatment during convoys.”

He frowned slightly.

“They are heretics.”

“Shin Wiju forgave his sins.”

“Of course I know, but there are no human rights until conversion is confirmed through a trial.”

“These remarks are beyond your jurisdiction.”

The atmosphere became a little colder. The crowd surrounding him also felt him and began to gradually become quiet.

Leoric said with a hint of anger.

“I don’t think these are words that would come out of the Lord’s mouth.”

“So we are cooperating. But are you moving under separate orders?”

These matters were usually handled directly by the Holy See.

“I’m just doing my duty.”

“All right.”

There was no need to argue. Because it meant being transferred to another person.

“let’s go.”

Aiden took Uriel and walked away. Leoric was in a very unhappy mood.

Just as I was about to take a step, the people who were noisy became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.

Coooooo! The sound of metal hitting the floor was immediate. Fear spread across their faces, and the crowd eventually began to disperse.

When the door opened, a group of people were seen approaching.

Executioners of the Order dressed in black uniforms.

A gunman with his face covered by a visor approached, dragging a mace. A small woman carrying two halberds on her back drew an arc. A strange man with his entire body wrapped in bandages lowered his head. A large man was walking with a large Bible open.

In addition, about a hundred troops poured into the port.

Siron waved his hand innocently at Aiden. She was a woman with a hobby of crushing bones.

In the middle of them was a man dressed in pure white robes.

He was an executioner who raised more stakes than anyone else and a judge who created a code of laws using the skin of traitors.

People were filled with fear at Hwama’s sudden visit. This is because in the past, wherever he walked, the smell of burning people never ceased.

On the other hand, Xerath smiled as if he was somewhat satisfied and slowly walked towards his disciple.

Someone intervened between them. Paladin Leoric showed courtesy.

“Meet the Inquisitor. “I was just about to transport him away.”
