I Became a Madman in the Game - I Became a Madman in the Game chapter 88
Episode. 28 Prophets of Baren (3)
The nobles’ eyes returned to focus.
Do you call this an open eye?
I felt like my eyes, which had been covered in darkness, opened up brightly.
The first thing I saw with those clear eyes was Richard’s figure.
“ah… … .”
A young man who literally shines like a lantern, wrapped in brilliance all over his body.
The Marquis was dazzled.
But I couldn’t take my eyes off it.
Is it because I experienced extreme fear a while ago?
Escaping from the responsibility of being an aristocrat, Richard faced each other face to face… … .
“saver.”
It really looked like a savior.
Of course, it was also Richard who pushed them to the cliff, but they had no time to argue about that, as they lost their minds.
“Doubt can forestall crises, but distrust leads to elimination.”
said Richard.
The aristocrats, who received intense gazes, stared blankly at him without saying anything.
“If you have come here to become a missionary, I hope you will do it with the right attitude.”
The prudent appearance was visible as far as I could see.
Now it was time for them to correct their posture.
The world is not so easy to pick and choose what you want like a buffet.
It was a world where if you wanted to do it once, you had to dig to the end to see results.
“If you do not sincerely serve Hor, leave immediately. As long as you said you would become a missionary, I have no intention of flirting.”
It is the cause of the nobles.
I mean, it was good.
But who has the greatest interest among them?
The burden Richard shouldered was not one kingdom, but the entire world.
If you do a favor, you have too much to do to pay attention to those you know as hukou.
“… … .”
No one stood up after hearing his words.
It wasn’t just because of physical factors, such as the weakness in his legs.
The Marquis of Trantis and the Earl of York looked at the nobles around them.
Everyone had their eyes wide open.
It was the eyes of the bright and wise people I hadn’t seen in a long time.
“… … .”
In the midst of such silence.
The nobles pounded the calculator in their heads nonstop.
I overturned the judgment I had already made and tried again to determine what was long and short.
Then another result came out.
“I believe you understand.”
It was at the same time that the corners of Richard’s mouth went up.
Seeing his smile, the followers held up the veil of Hor.
“Come on, let’s pray.”
The saint standing in the center of the room put his hands together.
Holy light was lit up here and there.
[Is anyone holding a lamp?]
[He wants to light a lamp to light up the darkness]
[He wanted to make known his will by tending the lamb.]
Devotees sang.
Passionate voices gathered to create a rich tone like hundreds of musical instruments.
[In the dark of the night]
[He will deliver the good news through the lamp]
[Soon the dawn will rise]
Hymns, the sheep will sing.
It began to comfort the tired minds and bodies of the nobles.
[Save those who have nightmares]
[The people who cried in the dark world sleep soundly]
do they know
That their eyes are wet with lamentation.
He probably didn’t know.
Also, that they had put their hands together reverently before they knew it.
[Tear marks illuminated by the light of the lantern]
[His breath caresses]
It is a precious kingdom to them.
It is a country ruled by a respected king,
It was a country where pitiful people lived.
Half of such a country became hell at some point.
The other half wasn’t quite as good. That’s why I seem to have avoided the outside more.
“please… … .”
The heightened vigilance melted away.
Did you know what is more important and what is more necessary?
I couldn’t see the answer, so the light came in stride in front of my eyes that were dark.

Today’s mental education ends here.
I bit the nobles.
After praying earnestly, they left their seats with somewhat relieved expressions.
It was the expression unique to this person who realized and corrected his mistake.
“Just because your faith grows, your patriotism doesn’t disappear.”
Rather, those two minds will mix and lead the country in a better direction.
Now that I’ve realized it, I’ll have to go through a more advanced process starting tomorrow.
Until they become believers, the spiritual education using the Hundred Ghosts will continue.
The more these extreme acts are repeated, the sooner the nobles will be able to become devout followers.
They chose the accelerated short-term education, so there was nothing to hold back.
“Broken… … saint. Are you really okay?”
Gide asked me.
When I asked what was okay, his gaze turned to Mokham.
“… … Is it really okay to touch it with your bare hands?”
“are you okay.”
I followed Gide and looked down at the wooden box.
Hundreds of ghosts inside this are not something to be taken lightly. However, I was still able to suppress it with faith.
“How was it?”
“What do you mean?”
Gide flinched.
As I stared at him, I cleared my throat a few times, but then opened my mouth.
“… … Dongbyeonsangryeon is something like that.”
It was a statement that seemed to have felt a lot of things.
“As you get older, the things you hold in your hands get heavier and the things you hold in your head increase. So there is no room for new things.”
Like self-help, like talking to others.
Gide looked straight at me.
It was not the gaze of the old immature, but the gaze of trust.
“Fortunately, I am still young.”
So are the nobles of Varen-
Gide, who smiled, walked ahead.
“her.”
while not even praying.
I smiled slightly at the willingness to fill my chest generously.

Alan followed the revelation well.
He starved for three days and nurtured himself for ten days, and he did not drop a leaf from his body.
Because what he saw was never a lie.
To be precise, it was because the holy atmosphere did not seem to harm him.
At the same time, however, doubts arose.
‘Why did I do that then?’
The light that gave him a revelation spoke as if he were a god.
Again, Alan knelt in front of the light and bowed his head.
Of course, that was just a physiological reaction of the person standing in front of the godhead.
However, Alan, who did not know that, gritting his teeth involuntarily when he recalled the image of himself receiving orders with an attitude of course.
aww
“… … I don’t like anything.”
It was Alan who knelt in front of the light, but that didn’t mean he became religious right away.
Alan could find himself waiting for the light while recalling humiliation and doubt.
Conflicting emotions, Alan touched his forehead.
“Alan… … .』
His body stiffened at the sound of Asrai’s voice.
“Hey Alan… … .』
My heart thumped.
Alan took out a leaf from his bosom with hasty hands.
But the leaves did not change anything.
“what… … ?”
I heard it clearly
I heard that majestic and reverent voice.
A deep sense of disappointment that I don’t know why shook my heart.
A sense of shame followed.
Are you driven to the point where you even hear hallucinations?
He let out a sigh at the weakened situation as soon as he became weak.
at that time.
『This is Alan.』
Fire-!
A brilliant haze filled the room.
The light, which I thought would come from the leaves, appeared this time from the glass on the table.
My heart, which had been slowing down, started beating again.
Alan gritted his teeth.
“You have followed my revelation well.”
A ray of light tickling the cheek.
I felt the demonic energy inside my body that had eaten away at my mind and body shrink.
His trembling legs urged Alan to kneel down and worship him.
‘Do not be ridiculous.’
I promised myself over and over that I would not weaken in the face of light or darkness.
I wanted to stand on my own two feet.
Such a childish mind developed a wary mind toward the light.
“What the hell are you… … !”
cried Alan, glaring at the light that subdued him.
Even so, both eyes were filled with joy and excitement.
The satisfaction of facing the light alone.
It was a low-level greed that would not last long.
Saaa!
The light raged.
When Alan came to his senses, he was already on his knees.
“… … !”
You can never resist the light.
It was as if he was saying that.
“The place where I am is the sanctuary.”
『How dare you stand here with your feet on dirty ground?』
As if scolding him for daring to stand upright, a stern voice echoed through the room.
“Won, what to do… … What is… … .”
Alan lowered his head and asked with difficulty.
Even if he tried to stop his mouth that moved naturally, it was too much for him who stood on the border between demons and humans.
The darker it is, the brighter the light appears.
I suddenly started to get impatient.
That angry voice seemed to leave at any moment.
Alan himself was also confused by the flow of emotions that could not be controlled.
From noble mtl dot com
『I saw it.』
『The pity of the powerless.』
『The anger of the locked person.』
A beam of light wrapped around Alan’s body.
『This is Alan.』
『Become the firewood that delivers my light.』
The light faded little by little.
It meant that this time was running out.
“I give you a revelation.”
The embers that were going out suddenly gave off a big light.
Alan stared blankly at it, but couldn’t say anything.
『Take the cup I drank in and go to the southern garden of the elves.』
『And tell their mother.』
『I, Hor, have been reborn.』
“… … .”
The glass is full of holy energy.
The shape of the glass containing the light reminded me of the Holy Grail that could only appear in fairy tales.
『I am locked up.』
『If you complete this revelation, I will give you the qualification to become a saint of the south.』
The voice of light gradually faded away.
After that, the great rank disappeared.
But even so, Alan didn’t even think of getting up from his seat.
“Hor… … .”
Where did the heart that wanted to resist go?
The name Hor was constantly ringing in his ears.
