Faith Life of a Former Scammer - Faith Life of a Former Scammer chapter 169

169. end of trip

A pitch-dark night where the moon doesn’t even rise.

Leon was sitting alone in the dark.

“Are you awake?”

However, Leon’s appearance was unusual.

Wearing a gray mask, he muttered quietly in an Oren voice.

What’s even more curious was that the voice didn’t leak out to the surroundings at all.

“Wake me up when you’re done. Sleepy.”

It seemed that the king of fairies above Leon’s head had blocked the sound.

“Answer me quickly.”

When Leon pressed again, a voice came through the mask.

＜ Haha. Sorry.＞

A frivolous, somewhat nerve-wracking voice. It was the black mask guy.

“How much do you think about the recovery of the divine object?”

＜Hmm. It’s also on the sun side, so I’m not expecting too much.＞

“You have eyes to see the situation.”

＜Kya! Only Lord Oren can say that to me. In any case, it is necessary to retrieve the sacred object, but it is also important to turn the attention of the Pope.＞

This mission did not end with simply recovering new items. Recovery is basic, and it had to cause a conflict between the Pope and Leone.

＜How is things going? Didn’t you put someone on it?＞

“Recovery of new items is progressing faster than expected. It is an impossible speed even if I came.”

＜Haha. It seems that the Bishop of Leone is working really hard. As expected, it was good to send the Bishop of Leone as Oren said.＞

It wasn’t a polite word. The guy realized why Oren sent Leone.

＜You seem to have a very useful ‘card’ to the point of envy. It’s about tempting.＞

Oren’s voice changed terribly at his words.

“Don’t touch me. It is my food and my footstool.”

＜Oops, sorry. I envy you that much, I will never touch you. If you touch him, you will lose Lord Oren.＞

If you touch Rion, who may be appeased, even Oren will turn around. Even taking this risk, he wouldn’t touch Leon, so there was no need to worry about what he said.

＜So what do you plan to do?＞

“The Saint and the Bishop of Leone. It will stimulate the two of you.”

＜Not bad. Bishop Leone made a mistake in the first place, so it seems quite possible.＞

From his point of view, he was right. He thinks Leone is being suspected by the Pope.

But, Leon didn’t know that and worked too hard. He showed off his talent to the fullest.

From his point of view, Leon’s hard work was a mistake.

Of course, that’s just his point of view.

‘A guy who gets scammed by a scammer doesn’t know he’s being scammed.’

The masked man was just like that.

“Accurate. All it takes is a small spark to stir them up.”

＜No. Are you thinking of provoking the saintess? I heard that she is quite ambitious.＞

“We’ll save it for fun for later.”

＜Good! really good! Oren, you really… … .＞

Leon didn’t listen to that loud voice until the end. just cut it off

‘Let’s finish it soon.’

The end of this trip was slowly approaching.

* * *

What was the most valuable thing Leon got from this trip?

Information about the black side plan?

A new thing to steal and study?

It wasn’t all.

The real valuable thing that Leon got here was the area called ‘northern’.

In order to obtain this northern part, Leon prepared one thing while busy moving.

A central crossroads area that must be passed through when moving tribes.

Every time I passed this place, Leone started to build one by one, and the result came out.

“While repairing numerous new statues, I learned struggle and passion from you. After learning that valuable meaning, I just couldn’t go back.”

Leon was giving a speech in the middle of the clearing. Leaders and warriors from each tribe were listening to the speech while surrounding Leon.

“So, I have prepared a present for you. Tribes who have not yet received their statues can use this as a milestone. We respect your wishes.”

Repairing the statues of all the tribes was practically impossible.

Only the statues of large villages and major tribes were repaired, and the work of the rest of the tribes was postponed.

‘The gods are too small, and what I’m doing here is a waste of time.’

So they created a place to ask for repairs.

“This will be a place for repairs and a sacred space for sharing.”

At Leon’s words, the divine power that had spread like a curtain behind Leone disappeared, and a huge statue of God appeared.

A colossal statue of an orc holding an ax and roaring.

It was impossible to make it as detailed as it was large, but the size overwhelms everything. At that overwhelming sight, the orcs each pulled out their weapons.

“Kuracto Malto!”

thud-!

“Kuracto Malto!”

thump-!

They clashed their arms and chanted continuously.

The sounds of their voices and weapons clashing harmonized, creating a single energy.

It was the same with the giant statue.

[The Colossus and the Orcs begin to resonate.]

‘I’m sorry about this. The one inside is mine, isn’t it?’

The energy of the Orcs and the energy of the Colossus merged into one, filling the forest.

The fanaticism and anger that Leone contained permeated the bodies of the orcs.

‘Rather, the new thing was a bonus.’

I thought the exchange with the North was a bonus for this trip, but it was the exact opposite.

Sickness was a bonus, and the exchanges between the Orcs and the North were genuine.

Right now it’s just about resonating, but slowly everyone will be soaked in Leon’s fanaticism and rage.

And that would be Leon’s weapon.

‘Then, let’s finish.’

It wasn’t over yet. I had to set the rules here and set up a system.

Of course, it was already in progress.

“everyone. I will teach you how to use this place.”

The grown-up saintess was explaining to the Orcs.

Camelot was looking at her with delight.

The end of this trip was coming.

* * *

After everything is over, inside the carriage to go back. Leon took out a piece of paper from his bosom and held it out to her.

“This is a letter from Lord Oren. When everything was over, I told her to show it to the saintess.”

“Are you Mr. Oren?”

She took the letter and started reading it. A smile appeared on her face as she read the letter.

“Have you seen this letter, Leon?”

“No, I didn’t see it. Ouren-sama said it was a plan that would only be possible without my knowledge.”

“okay? Aren’t you curious?”

At that, Leon smiled.

“it’s okay. Even the things I shouldn’t know about must be Lord Oren’s plans.”

“Do you trust Oren?”

Her intention in asking this question was not out of curiosity.

It was a question Camelot asked to hear.

“Yes. We know that we are looking at the same thing, even though we sometimes clash. You are a good person.”

“Then I won’t tell you.”

“Yes. it’s okay.”

She got straight to the point.

“There will be some rumors, never mind them. It’s because Lord Oren arranged it.”

“All right. Is there anything I should do for you?”

“there is. You must give me 2/3 of what you got there.”

Leon handed over the pouch without hesitation.

It was a pouch in which divine objects were kept.

Of course, not all sacred things were contained in this pouch.

‘It’s only natural to steal big guys.’

The items that were completely stolen without anyone knowing were stored separately. It’s not someone else, it’s because Leon is keeping it. There was no way to say that it was stolen.

“Here it is. You can take as much as you need.”

“yes. Well received. For now, we’ll keep it and send it to you secretly. Don’t worry too much.”

“it’s okay. Rather, since it was Lord Oren’s work, I’m worried that we won’t receive too much.”

At those words, the saintess burst into laughter.

“no. It was a bargain that both sides were satisfied with, so you don’t have to worry about it. And what’s left is for you to give to Oren.”

She added one more explanation.

“Oren-sama will use the remaining 1/3, but we also agreed on how to use it… … I think you’d better not ask.”

This 1/3 of the sacred things to be passed on to Oren were the ones to be passed on to the Darkness.

“understand.”

The 2/3 of the sacred objects in the saintess’ hands were the sacred objects that the dawn and the sun would share.

There was no need to be afraid to share.

‘Considering the relationship with the pope, this side is unconditionally advantageous. Besides, the rest of the gods will eventually come into my hands.’

You won’t be able to find anything by researching it in the Church of the Sun. At that time, it was just a matter of using Oren to bring it.

“The important thing is over, shall we talk about something a little different now? new reward. How do you plan to run it?”

“Yes?”

“Now listen. If the Dawn side provides the technology, our sun will provide the manpower.”

“This is the territory of the Church of Earth, will you be okay?”

“it’s okay. Our sun will talk with the earth. How about leaving it to me?”

Seeing that, Leon answered tremblingly.

“You learn really fast.”

“sure. Because you need gold to unfold your will. My plan is… … .”

The saintess, who had been swaying, began to move, centering herself. A deep smile appeared on Camelot’s face as he listened to the conversation.

“Hey!”

Thanks to Camelot’s brisk whip, the sun’s chariot started to run faster.

* * *

Regular meetings of the Holy See.

The atmosphere of the meeting was quite brutal.

“Among the interests of the Church of Dawn, figure out which ones you can take away.”

“… … You mean the Cult of Dawn?”

The face of the saintess who was in charge of the meeting was frighteningly expressionless.

“It is the will of the Pope.”

“It is the Church of the Dawn that has a good relationship with the Holy See. The sudden mobilization of power like this… … .”

One of the bishops said no, but the saintess did not listen to it.

widely.

I took out the pope’s order.

“I said it was the Pope’s will.”

The bishop fell silent and looked at the order.

“If it is the Pope’s will, we will proceed immediately.”

“Just figure it out. Not yet. I will look for opportunities.”

“All right. Holy Maiden.”

It was close to dogmatism, but none of them expressed any doubts.

If such measures were taken right after the saintess’ journey was over, there was only one reason.

“What happened during the trip?”

At the bishop’s soft words, the saintess’ eyes changed.

Eyes that exude a cool life.

As soon as the bishop saw it, he apologized to her.

“I made a mistake.”

It was clear what had happened.

Then, biting his tail, other rumors surfaced.

The rumor that Camelot, who escorted him, was ordered to practice face-to-face and was confined to a private room.

“Don’t let anything from today’s meeting leak out.”

Those who attended the meeting nodded at the saintess’ words.

However, everyone knew. This will become a rumor and spread secretly.

Rumor has it that the sun seeks the dawn.

* * *

A few days later, a villa outside Killika.

“What the hell did you do to make this happen?”

The man in the black mask asked the man in the gray mask.
