A Transmigrator’s Privilege-Chapter 206
[‘The Scales that Judge Souls’ takes a deep breath at the bold statement.] I felt like I should listen more calmly to find out what he meant.
While I opened my eyes wide and looked at Tesilid, a deep voice continued.
“What if I deceive you? If I’m not a trustworthy person... ... What are you going to do?”
“What are you saying as if I’m deceiving you?”
“That’s... ... .”
He trailed off.
No, what if he acts like he’s going to confess and then suddenly makes a face of despair?
His embarrassed face looks like he’s in pain. I didn’t want to bother him, so I shrugged and replied lightly.
“Well, let’s each forgive each other once.”
“... ... .”
I also designed a safety device for my position as a heretic saint.
Tesilid’s expression began to show a sense of doubt. I had to interrupt his thoughts before he could figure out what I meant.
“Oh, Terry. There’s a place we need to go together.”
“Where to go?”
“I’m thinking about going on a short trip. Actually, I was going to go alone, but I’m a little nervous about being separated from you.”
It seemed like a successful change of subject. Tesilid immediately showed interest.
“Travel? For two?”
The pretty sea-blue eyes sparkled with color just by looking at them.
“Yeah, for two.”
“Where to?”
“Wibrill Island.”
“... ... .”
Was what I saw earlier a mistake? The light in his eyes went out.
“Isn’t that the Duchy of Wallenstein?”
“Oh, I guess so.”
“Why, in the territory of the Little Duke of Wallenstein... ... .”
His expression gradually faded.
Hmm, I’d better wrap things up quickly.
“Anyway, let’s go! Got it?”
“... ... Okay.”
I smiled contentedly after receiving the answer without hesitation.
In fact, the reason why I suddenly acted like this could be found in the updated Unryeong Cult Leader quest. [<Quest> Unryeong Cult Leader's Mission Stage 5 (Difficulty: Unknown)
Let's go on a long vacation to Webril Island, a resort located in the far west. Everything is prepared, so you can just go right now.
Success Reward: ???
Failure Penalty: None] The trip must be a device to give probability.
I read Unryeong's intentions right away.
The event dungeon entrance ticket I received as a reward for the 3rd Cult Leader quest.
Unryeong was leading me to a place where I could use it.
Chapter 34. Things that could happen at the resort
Now that I have my own parish and church, I decided to designate Peronsa as the base for the Silver Citadel.
I took out all the luggage in the Seonghwang Hall and moved it to a separate accommodation made at the St. Agnes Church.
The result was satisfactory to everyone. Of course, I liked the land where my grandfather ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) was, Tesilid liked that there was no one to bother him, and the other knights liked that the food was better than the Seonghwangcheong and the rooms were spacious.
For a while, I was busy without a moment to breathe.
I performed various rituals and gathered the believers, taught Hilde the role of the vice-bishop, had sparring matches with my grandfather, the Auror Master, took my mother to the Mermaid's Dungeon and asked her to collect potion ingredients, and discussed with my father about developing a cure and harvesting ingredients to prepare for the impending plague.
So when I finished all the busy work.
"Let's go, Terry!"
"Yes, child."
As we had promised before, we decided to travel to Webril Island.
Tesilid asked.
"How long are you planning on traveling?"
“Three days, or a week at most?” [‘Soul Judgement Libra’ is displeased that it’s not a long vacation, but a short vacation.] Libra-nim pointed out the quest instructions, but I couldn’t help it.
It’s now fall. The devil’s grand festival ‘Walpurgis Night’ will occur before this season ends.
I had to prepare for the disaster of dungeon bursts and dungeon syncs in each country’s capital city, so I had little time.
I took out the Wibril Island Space Teleportation Stone I received as a reward for completing the 4th cult leader quest.
At that moment, Tesilid gently wrapped his hand around my hand and stopped me.
“Wait a minute, child.”
“Why?”
“Let’s report to the Seonghwangcheong about the vacation first.”
“... ... .”
I instantly became serious at the words that showed no sign of flexibility.
‘Do you really want to go eat sweet potatoes when you know what you’ll end up like if you go!’
... ... Just when I was about to ask, “Why?” Tesilid added, with good timing.
“There’s something bothering me. I want to go and check it out.”
“What’s bothering me? What is it?”
“Even though Shin Seong-gyeong declared that he would not stay in Seonghwangcheong, the religious order is still silent without complaint. Isn’t that strange?”
“Wow.”
After hearing the words, I could immediately guess the reason. There were two. I just mentioned the first reason.
“I awakened to the 9th level a while ago. I can’t be controlled or persuaded from their perspective, so they want to exclude me so that my influence doesn’t grow any bigger.”
In other words, it was a blessing for the Inspectorate and the Evangelicals that I stayed in Peronsa, far from Seonghwangcheong.
They would want to fight like before, just the two of them, without having the Seonghwangcheong ecosystem disrupted because of me.
Tesilid nodded and organized it.
“I see. You have become too unique. Now, in the Holy See, those who have not been incorporated into the Prosecutor’s Office and the Evangelical Church will join you in earnest. Maybe... ... a third force will be formed on its own and push you to become the next Pope. Even if you don’t want it.”
“Not maybe, but it will actually happen. It’s tiring.”
“So the Prosecutor’s Office and the Evangelical Church have no choice but to want you to stay away from central politics.”
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
“That’s right.”
The political landscape of the Holy See was no different from that of secular countries.
I nodded enthusiastically and grabbed the Webril Island Transfer Stone again.
“Now, do you understand? Then... ... .”
“Wait a minute.”
“... ... Why again.”
“That alone doesn’t explain the church’s attitude that has changed like a knife. There must be some parts that are missing your empty seat, but they are too quick to draw a line with you.”
Tsk. Such a smart sweet potato... ... .
Unfortunately, I couldn’t say the second reason with my own mouth.
When I couldn’t respond, Tesilid took out a space transfer stone with the coordinates of the Seonghwangcheong location engraved on it from my inventory.
“Let’s go and check it out.”
“Ugh, right.”
What can I do if you really want to check it out? Do whatever you want, Tesilid.
A large hand gently pulled my shoulder. And my vision turned pure white, and a feeling of floating enveloped my body. [<System> Entered the Panel region, the capital of the Elfenheim Church. Adjust the current time according to the time difference.] I felt like I was being dragged, but when I arrived at the Seonghwangcheong courtyard, I straightened my back and shoulders and walked ahead.
I was greeted by the priests and knights I met and entered the council room.
The cardinals couldn’t hide their quivering expressions as soon as they saw Tesilid.
‘Just ask me a strange question.’
As I was scanning the room with wide eyes, Cardinal Decal, the Prefect of the Evangelical Church, opened his mouth.
It was to make up for the formal greetings and Q&A.
“It’s been a while, Your Eminence, Your Holiness.”
“Yes. I’m glad that everyone seems to be in good health.”
“By the way, I heard from far away that Your Eminence has entered the 9th degree... ... .”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Although he hadn’t even released his divine power, the cardinals here and there held their breath.
The calm voice of Cardinal Decal calmed the atmosphere full of surprise.
“Congratulations, Your Eminence.”
“Thank you. I apologize for reporting late because I’ve been busy with parish affairs.”
“No. We should have sent someone to Your Eminence first to go through the official confirmation process. We’re just sorry that the Congregation for the Causes of Saints was late.”
At Cardinal Decal’s words, I see a cardinal shaking his shoulders in the distance.
I remember him as the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
<The Congregation for the Gospel and the Congregation for the Inspectorate must have pressured him to delay the official recognition, but he’s so shameless to blame the Congregation for the Causes of Saints in front of you.>
I turned my head to the side for a moment and looked at the person who seemed to be the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
‘I know everything.’
With this message.
Then the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints showed signs of calming down.
I looked at Cardinal Decal again. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Judging from their conversation and attitude so far, it seemed like he wanted to exclude me without getting on my nerves.
After all, where would a crazy person want to confront the 9th-ranking Shin Seong-gyeong?
‘Oh, except Reed.’
Anyway, it wasn’t a bad thing for me either. Since I was a member of the Unryeong Church to begin with, I had no intention of becoming the real power behind the Order Church.
Instead of such wasteful political battles, I want to do productive work that will grow my religious affiliation centered around Peronsa.
“Your Highness, Shin Seong-gyeong.”
It was the voice of Cardinal Bezalius, the Prefect of the Inspectorate.
I immediately turned my head and met his gaze. The authoritative and stiff voice of a middle-aged man was heard.
“The Seonghwangcheong has been quite chaotic lately. I am worried that His Excellency Shin Seong-gyeong may be uncomfortable, so I would like you to continue to work hard to develop Peronsa for the time being.”
“... ... .”
The intention was clear.
It was the original intention, so I thought it was right and good.
However.
“Ah... ... So that is what the Seonghwangcheong intended... ... .”
“... ... .”
“I expected it, but now that I hear it in person... ... . No, no. I will obey... ... .”
He answered with a gruff expression that he had no choice but to submit to the unfair treatment. [‘The Architect of the Skyscraper of Trials’ applauds your brilliant performance.]
[‘The Cynical Man Who Adjusts Balance’ is not suitable for you and you are disgusted.]
[‘The Scales That Judge Souls’ is like the heroine of a tragic tale and you like it.] My expression, tone of voice, and eye contact seem to have touched a chord. Several cardinals with a conscience cough with pricked faces.
Even Tesilid reacted.
“... ... Ai.”
Special treatment for the possessed
