Game Mind of a Medieval Modern Person - Chapter 185



Only Noblemtl

185. The idea of ​​the origin of the church.

As the name Seongdo suggests, it is a place with great religious significance.

This is the holy land where Lux Stella, the god who was called Starlight and watched over the world, descended after a long petition.

However, according to the truth that the church kept secret, Lux Stella did not help humans from the beginning. Rather, she was closer to being indifferent.

This change in tone was possible thanks to the petition of the Tribune.

At that time, humans were systematically exterminated under the oppressive rule of Ise.

This is because the circumstances surrounding the petition to the alien god, Lux Stella, while avoiding the eyes of the gods of Ise and their subordinate races, were discovered.

Suddenly, humans were treated as traitors who had rejected the fair and just promise made by the gods of this world and tried to sell the world to extraterrestrial beings. Even the moderates who had pity on humans turned their backs this time.

Finally, when even survival was not permitted for humans, the first petitioner, Aura Awakener, and saint was canonized.

It is said that the Tribunes made a final, fervent plea to Lux Stella on behalf of humanity on the brink of extinction.

There were many people in the church who remembered this anecdote in more detail.

According to the anecdote handed down, it is as follows.

As the forces of Ise approached to surround the defeated humans and slaughter them all without leaving a single child behind, Tribunus went alone to the temple filled with broken statues to persuade the bystander god.

In an attempt to convince the god who was watching, he fasted for a whole week and repeatedly hit his forehead on the floor of the temple, until soon his skull was half crushed.

Although the tribunes were virtually dead, their desperate pleas finally brought about a change of heart on the god.

The starlight of outer space has finally become the starlight of humanity.

If it ended here, it would have been a simple fable that saved the life of a spleen, but unfortunately, reality did not turn out that way.

The pious and desperate pleas of the first adult tribunes deeply moved the hearts of many clergy.

Especially, those priests who were afraid of the act of dedicating their lives and refused to take the oath or who took the oath but were not given the stigmata. This is the heart of fundamentalists who lamented the increasingly faint faith.

They pointed to the anecdote of the tribunes and said:

The groan between the teeth caught the attention of the world. The bloody tears shed by the earnest one drew the tears of the onlookers.

-The prayer of the supplicant must come not from the tongue, but from the split wound.

You may be thinking, what the heck is this nonsense? But the summary is simple.

It was believed that since the starlight of humanity, Lux Stella, had responded to the pain and groans of humans, it would respond in kind if done in return.

“Do you really believe that?”

When I asked the priest in the green cloak, the answer I got was more than I expected.

“Unlike the two who manifested the stigmata, we, who are weak and lacking, are more like animals that do not know how to endure. We swore in our hearts to follow the vows and teachings, but in reality, we failed to do so, and so the stars of humanity turned their backs on us.”

The priest in the green cloak began to feel elated.

Only then did I realize how hasty my judgment had been in assuming that this would make sense.

“There is only one thing that can guide us who cannot learn and follow through words and writing: suffering. By engraving this into the shell of the flesh, we can finally escape from ignorance and foolishness.”

“…”

“The scars on the flesh are letters engraved on the soul, the pain on the flesh is proof that the soul remembers the history of its ancestors! The flowing blood is the molten iron spewed out by the greatest forge, and the soft flesh is merely a mold for tempering the steel-like faith!”

These kids are already brain-melted.

In the eyes that had been hard, only traces of reason melted in the flames of passion remained.

“I will become the bell on the steeple that announces your dawn, your daybreak! I will strike the bell with my body! You have done something! With my lips and tongue that I have only recited, I will testify to your miracles!!!”

“Oh, okay…”

“Welcome the starlight that has descended upon the earth, the witnesses of the miracle!!!”

Flutter-.

The momentum was so great that the wide sleeves of the suit were fluttering.

The priest in the green cloak was kneeling with his arms raised high in the air, shedding hot tears. The others who accepted these words were the ones who were going crazy.

“Dawn!”

The guard who had just been whipping the sailor as if he was going to kill him threw down the whip and fell to the ground.

“Drive away the twilight!”

The guards who had been standing still by the priest’s side also threw down their spears and knelt down in an instant.

Soon, when Karina and I were the only ones left on the deck, they all gathered together and shouted.

“Gospel to the blind!!!”

“A bright blue star to those who cannot hear!!!”

…….

I looked at Karina.

Then Karina frowned as if she was disgusted. She looked like she didn’t want to talk to me even if she died soon, so I stepped in.

“Oh, okay. Let’s all work hard.”

In that moment, the priest in the green cloak stood up in an instant, his eyes sparkling.

It was when I unconsciously reached out to my waist where the knife was stuck, knowing that it was a flash of life.

“The miracle given by the stars of humanity has answered our faith! Each of you must perform your duties with a more pious and sincere heart!”

The results here of greater piety and sincerity were spectacular.

I wondered where all the elite soldiers I had never seen in the early morning hours had gone, and they were all huddled together in the castle.

“Do not allow a single suspicious item!”

“Anything that looks like heresy is thrown out!”

I bet even the elite of Yubas would cower before these bastards.

If they saw anything suspicious, they would mercilessly tear it apart and inspect the filthy things in the deck or cabin, and their demeanor was extremely fierce. Karina looked at them with a complicated expression and said a word.

“You guys are really hard working, aren’t you?”

“Even stupid things can become great if you work hard at them.”

I wonder why people believe such nonsense, but when I see that even people who aren’t priests agree with it, I guess people have different sensibilities.

The sailors who were caught for their misdeeds approached the captain, who was punished by collective punishment, with the intention of comforting him.

“Oh my… Hehe. But I’ve finally opened it.”

“You said you opened it?”

Why is this kid like this?

My steps stopped as a sense of rejection surged up within me.

“Hehehe. This was my first visit to the saints.”

The captain was lying face down on the deck, laughing hysterically, after having been thoroughly flogged.

There was a prejudice that a guy who laughed after getting hit was likely mentally ill, so he took a slight step back. Regardless, the captain groaned and clapped his hands together.

Then, as if he noticed my strange gaze, he revealed his teeth and twitched the corners of his mouth.

“You don’t seem to know, do you? Well, who would laugh and feel good about being hit?”

“Wasn’t it?”

But what on earth is that guy laughing at?

“No way! Since I have passed the strict examination of the saints, there will be many ship owners who will bid high prices for me in the future.”

“!”

That’s when the realization came.

The captain was proud of himself for having ‘barely’ been whipped. The reason was that he had ‘barely’ passed the saint’s strict examination with a whipping.

The captain looked up at me in surprise and asked me some obvious common sense.

“If not, why would you come to this crazy prison-like place?”

Yes, that’s right.

Unless you are crazy, you would not voluntarily choose to become a saint.

I raised my head again and looked at the saint’s guards who were stationed on the deck in an orderly manner.

Then I saw the guards whipping each other in perfect time and the sailors crouching down and silently taking the beatings.

“Groan! Struggle! Remember with pain the history that words and writing could not convey!”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh…”

“If you had known the pain your ancestors suffered, you wouldn’t have easily succumbed to lust! Remember more, more clearly! Engrave that cruel and bitter history on your shattered flesh!!!”

Hmm. After a short sigh that lingered in my mouth, I finally understood.

Why are the princes and bishops of the Morning Star desperately trying to shake off the influence of the mainland?

Actually, I was thinking similar things.

“Groan, howl! Shed tears, writhe, suffer! Recite the echoes of the past that groaned beneath this world!”

“Ugh, Ise, Ise… Tensei…!”

“That’s it! Shout out your anger, your resentment, your boiling blood, for revenge! Then we will gain the power to drive out the twilight of Ise once again!!!”

we…

Should I just become independent?

***

It is said that the church distinguishes the status and role of the clergy by the color of their cloaks.

It is not simply divided by rainbow colors, but the colors are arranged to convey meaning.

Green cloaks are worn by those who are tasked with guard duty.

As they are a priest who must confront the Ise more cruelly and strictly than anyone else, the percentage of those who manifest the stigmata is high, and even if they do not manifest the stigmata, they are said to show their sincerity by volunteering to practice asceticism.

Passing the rigorous examination they administer does not mean that one can avoid the strict surveillance of the church.

The church had put up all kinds of defenses against those with various desires and intentions.

Even one of them was in a completely unexpected form.

The inner gate that separates the dock from the city center.

As soon as I entered the building past the dozens of guards guarding the place, the sight that greeted me made me doubt my eyes.

“Those of you who have come on a long journey~. Come here and relieve your fatigue~.”

“Looking for people who want to eat light! It’s okay if you come back a little… late. Hehehe…”

For some reason, women wearing dresses with loose shoulder straps were walking down the street with smiling eyes.

Men who had just arrived in the city would usually melt in their tracks and follow the women as soon as they caught their eye.

“prostitution?”

How can there be such blatant prostitution in the headquarters of the church, the Saint Idea, which demands a pure life?

I was standing there blankly for a while, when Karina poked my side.

“Even though they look like that, they are women belonging to the church.”

“The church approved it?”

“Well… I guess most men are weak to women who come to work at night…”

“No. But isn’t extramarital affairs not a problem?”

“So I heard that there is a priest who officiates weddings in an informal manner.”

The details were as follows.

The church strictly prohibits extramarital sex.

However, since the few livelihoods of the women who have settled in the city cannot be destroyed just for religious reasons, they are trying to save face rather than leaving them in the shade.

Here Karina adds more details.

‘The church’s information power. Where do you think it comes from?’

‘….’

The origins of the church are military organizations.

I felt that statement.

It is a military organization that originated a thousand years ago and constantly tries to invade the secular realm in order to wipe out the remnants of Ise.

The war was not over for them, and it never was.

The Church has long been prepared as an army to do whatever it takes for the victory of humanity and the world.

And it is usually better to keep your distance from people who are ready to fight.

From today, I am an independence fighter who supports the free appointment rights of the parishes of the early morning system.
