I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 55
Only Noblemtl
#55 Am I being kidnapped? (1)
“hey.”
“Yes, Chris…”
“If I go, will they give me food?”
“Oh…of course.”
Aluard was sweating profusely in front of me.
It’s a natural reaction to have something to do.
“They’re arresting me for being a heretic, but are you sure they’re going to give me food?”
“The church doesn’t conduct interrogations like that…!”
“Then, there’s no such thing as burning them at the stake?”
“If you are found to be a heretic… but you, Chris, are not a heretic, are you?”
We’ll have to wait and see, but I’m glad they gave me food anyway.
“There’s no torture, right?”
“Of course!”
“Without even locking him up?”
“that…”
The knights entered the castle and for two days no one came looking for me.
Thanks to this, it was possible to hold a simple ceremony.
There were more than one soul, but there was no time to rest.
“We were all busy.”
Anyway, I was about to be dragged away by the bastards who had come looking for me.
But the format was different from what I expected, so I was a little taken aback.
“Why did you come, sir?”
“I might not see you for a while, but I should at least say hello. I’d like to go with you, but…”
The Inspirations will not be able to join you as you must guard this place until reinforcements arrive.
It was reliable when we were together, but it was a bit disappointing when we were about to leave.
“And what are all these people?”
“These are the people gathered for the farewell party.”
A warp magic circle leading to the church was installed inside the baronial domain.
And on the way there, there were soldiers all over the place.
It seemed like everyone had come except the soldiers on the walls.
I never knew that this was what the inspirations had prepared while fighting with the knights…
“In situations like this, the morale of the soldiers is important.”
“What does this have to do with fraud?”
“Originally, a hero’s mere presence was supposed to affect morale.”
“….?”
It was an incomprehensible word.
Inspiration came close to me and whispered secretly.
“Don’t forget that we are behind you.”
“…yes?”
“Let’s go.”
Paramon mounted his horse and took the lead, while Serena stood close to me.
“Oh my…”
It felt very strange for a scene where heresy was being dragged out.
First of all, my condition is very comfortable.
Neither tied down nor threatened.
Just walk to the magic circle surrounded by knights.
“…Is this correct?”
At first, a man called the Inquisitor came and ordered me to be tied up.
But it ended without even trying.
When the inspirations threatened to bring up the empire, they quietly backed down.
Honestly, who wouldn’t listen if Paramon was threatening them with a knife?
“Transport the criminal.”
A heretic judge named Dawnon.
As Dawnon gave the order, the knights surrounding me began to walk.
With a threatening air.
“Hmm…”
Jeokbuk –
Jeokbuk –
The sound of the armor and footsteps echoed, and the atmosphere of strict security was felt.
“…Chris, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me.”
“I feel very comfortable right now.”
Serena, who was stuck next to me, kept looking at me with worried eyes.
Originally, I was the only one being dragged along, but Serena said that absolutely could not happen and followed me.
I don’t feel good about it since they don’t seem to be taking any action to stop it…
Jeokbuk –
When I hadn’t even moved a few steps.
A cheer broke out from the soldiers.
“The saint is coming!!”
“Wow!”
It was a huge roar.
“This…is so different from what I thought?”
I thought I was going to be dragged away with my hands tied…
This was a real picture of a saint’s procession.
Parading through the streets surrounded by knights and priests.
The cheering was so loud it was hurting my ears.
It seems that the guy named Dawnon didn’t like that either.
“How dare you speak the name of the saint so carelessly! What do the knights do!”
At Dawnon’s words, the knights swept through the soldiers with momentum.
Shudder.
“Anyone who speaks blasphemously will be arrested immediately.”
A cold, overbearing tone of speech that bursts out.
Silence fell among the soldiers.
“Oh my, what are you doing to these tired people?”
Dawnon’s sharp eyes turned to me.
It might be hard for you to make eye contact with me right now…
Shudder.
As expected, Downon is slightly surprised.
The look in his eyes was so dirty that my eyes were about to rot.
“Your head is full of greed. Are you a priest?”
“What?”
“I think I was born with a good fate… but because of greed, everything went wrong.”
“Huh, you’re being so cocky without even knowing the topic.”
There was contempt inherent in his eyes.
Perhaps, if there were no inspirations, they would have been openly ignored as commoners.
Because even now, the attitude is extremely overbearing.
“We’ll see if he can maintain that attitude while being interrogated.”
hearing?
As soon as I heard that, I glared at Aluard.
“Hey, you said you weren’t going to torture me?”
“….”
“Based on what that old man says, it seems like he’ll do it no matter what.”
“…That won’t happen. You can trust me.”
As for not having any, that’s nonsense.
There was already a lot of hostility towards me.
Honestly, it’s a bit unfair.
Why on earth are these guys doing this to me, even though I’ve never seen them before?
“Anyway… my fate is so twisted…”
Serena hardened her face and grabbed my arm.
“If they… do harm to Chris…”
“Hmm? Oh, it’s okay.”
Serena was full of worries.
Looking at his hardened face, he seemed ready to turn everything upside down at any moment.
“There are hardships, but no one gets hurt. I’m still lucky.”
“…”
I’m in a good mood right now.
Shinpal the best.
Luck is the best.
It is said to be in very good condition.
The fortune telling was much sharper and more accurate than usual.
Enough to get a feel for it without even having to shake the bell.
I glanced at Aluard and chuckled.
“He really doesn’t listen.”
“…yes?”
I kept getting that feeling.
naughty boy.
While looking at other guys makes me angry, looking at Allure feels like looking at a child.
The important thing is that these are not my feelings.
It wasn’t even an air attack sent down by my body.
If there is anything that catches your eye···.
“Ilya is depicted as an old man?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s because Ilya holds the love of the earth in his heart.”
“What do you look like?”
“There are many statues, mostly of grandfathers.”
“Hmm…”
It’s the appearance of my grandfather…
Aluard added an explanation while watching me ponder.
“The only people who have encountered God are saints and saintesses. The statues were created based on their words.”
“By any chance, is your grandmother not here?”
Allure smiled at my question.
“God’s form is not fixed. However, it is said that he walks in the form of serving.”
The smile he had while talking was quite divine.
Enough to make these words come out naturally.
“You learned well.”
“…yes?”
“Good impression, good attitude…”
But why do I keep getting this strange feeling?
Ouch.
It’s quite suspicious that you’re avoiding my gaze.
It’s not that I can’t look you in the eye because I’m scared, it’s more like there’s something I’m hiding.
I didn’t feel bad seeing that either.
It was an unidentifiable emotion.
“It’s not a martial arts…”
“…”
“…hmm?”
As I continued walking, a strange sight unfolded around me.
There are many soldiers around.
In front of me stood a cavalry of knights.
A path was created leading to the magic circle.
“…What is this situation?”
As soon as Pharamon gave a wink, the knights began to stamp their feet.
Thud –
Thud –
A sword held firmly.
Aligned posture.
The action continued as if paying homage.
Until I get there.
Soon, a loud voice burst out.
“order!”
Chae-Ang –
“Thank you!”
The knights lined up simultaneously drew their swords and raised them toward the sky.
And the resulting picture is really.
“her…”
It was a hero’s farewell party.
I see myself walking among the knights, escorted by priests.
Another cheer erupted from the soldiers watching this.
“Wow!”
“The saint is with us!”
A hollow laugh escaped.
They were talking about the soldiers’ morale and such…
Aren’t the inspirations using me very well?
The surrounding knights walked along frowning.
Dawn’s face was already red and on the verge of bursting.
“You’re talking nonsense. You don’t even know the will of God…”
I turned my head with a snicker.
Because inspiration Clocell was standing there.
The old man mutters something.
In my head, the voice of inspiration from Clocell rang.
[Chris, can you hear me?]
“…?”
[I received a formal request from the papal candidate sitting next to you.]
Are you saying that Aluard did something?
As expected, what I felt earlier was right.
[As soon as you warp, protect yourself. There will be a small battle.]
battle?
I couldn’t figure out what the heck was going on.
[The papal side will secure your new soldier.]
After these words, the voice of inspiration was no longer heard.
When they arrived at the place where the magic circle was, the knights stopped.
Paramon got off his horse and approached us.
“I have something to say.”
“…”
The knights step aside with a look of displeasure.
Inspiration came to me and opened my mouth.
“I have reported your achievements to the imperial family.”
“The royal family…?”
“Don’t worry about anything and just do your job. We’ll take care of the politics.”
It felt like something was happening around me.
You should have at least given me a heads up in advance…
It will be clear that the inspirations are being considerate and telling us to rest even a little.
They are the old men who take good care of me.
“Arrest the criminal as soon as you arrive at the church.”
Dawnon stepped onto the magic circle, giving orders to the knights.
And as I took my seat, Aluard clung to me tightly.
He held the sword firmly with a subtle smile.
Swish –
The moment when light bursts out from the magic circle.
I could see.
The sight of Aluard drawing his sword.
