I Became a Shaman in a Fantasy World - Chapter 60

#60 Open your mouth (2)

Daughter –

“The name is Videlue… and the age is forty-seven.”

How many people are there?

It’s been a while since my vision became blurry.

I felt a deep muscle pain in my arms and shoulders.

So that your arms don’t go above your shoulders.

Daughter –

“They said they would put their names on the church board and took the common people’s property…”

How can there be so many different types of crimes?

He sinned in a way that was unimaginable.

Fraud and embezzlement were the norm.

It’s fortunate that there are no serious crimes such as murder.

Maybe there are those who kill people while avoiding their eyes.

“This is complete crap…”

This guy named Bidelu is, strictly speaking, a test tube.

One who tests one’s qualifications when one is admitted to the church.

To put it simply, an interviewer.

He was also a bad guy who engaged in corruption.

“…Even if you put your name up like this, you’ll gain divine power?”

Aluard, who was writing on a piece of paper, raised his head.

“If you register your name in the religious order that way, it will take a long time before you can use your divine power. There are priests who do not even receive that power and end up working in administrative work.”

Looking at it closely, it seemed like there were quite a few people who had registered their names in this way.

I’m sure a lot of the names coming to me now have that feel to them.

Hwaruruk –

I put the paper on the stove and lit it, then picked up the next piece of paper.

Flutter –

A piece of paper falls to the floor as if the strength in your fingers has gone out.

I picked up the paper again and began to read what was written.

Daughter –

“His name is Donnelly… he’s thirty-nine years old.”

Oh my.

This guy was also an inquisitor.

A person whose name has been on the religious scene for a little over ten years.

But to have risen to this level of position?

“How can you get here without divine power?”

“….It’s embarrassing, but…”

“I guess there’s another way?”

“If high-ranking priests pray and infuse divine power, you can increase the amount more easily than others.”

The process was also complicated and difficult, but the conclusion was the same.

“I bought it with my own money.”

This guy was a merchant by birth.

He probably pooled his family’s wealth to join the religious order.

He must have used that wealth to bribe high-ranking clergy.

“Isn’t this a total garbage dump…”

“…”

It might be because I only receive information from those guys.

In fact, it is rare to find a group that doesn’t produce dust when you shake it off.

There is no place where there are only honest and pure people.

It is also that difficult.

but···.

“It’s too much…”

Daughter –

This kind of thing must be thoroughly investigated.

“The position of the sect was obtained through property, and the divine power was also obtained through the same process…”

Daughter –

“The names of those involved include Victor, Heliot, Basilea, and even Berthe.”

Daughter –

As the number of names increased, the drop became heavier.

Thump –

Bam –

The sound of severing ties with God.

Or is it the sound of my blood dripping?

My ears were blocked so I couldn’t tell the difference, but I soon became clear.

Thud thud –

Blood was dripping from his nose.

“…Chris! You can’t do this anymore. You’ve already lost too much blood.”

I pushed Serena away from my body and lifted the bell.

“You’re a newcomer too…”

Serena was also a half-goddess.

Of course, it’s a dime a dozen by my standards, but here, it’s one of the few on the continent.

I was about to say something to Serena, but I ended up laughing in vain.

Because what I was about to say was quite funny.

“Serena, don’t do this.”

“…chris?”

“Don’t be a shaman. It’ll ruin your fortune.”

The four pillars are called the four pillars of destiny, and when you interpret them into the heavenly stems and earthly branches, you get your fortune.

In fact, fortune telling and horoscopes are the same thing.

The phrase ‘correcting one’s fortune’ means ‘correcting one’s fortune’ when one’s fortune is so twisted.

That is because it is a way to straighten out a truly twisted and crumpled fortune.

“But this guy’s shaman’s fate…”

Maybe it’s because my job involves dealing with other people’s grievances and injustice…

Whenever something happens, the fortune that was previously unraveled gets twisted.

The shaman is the one who keeps avoiding, twisting, supporting and frying it.

“Where can you find a job like this…”

Open 365 days a year.

No vacation.

Every bad thing is impossible.

A job that gives to others without asking for anything in return.

How could I not say this to Serena?

“Don’t be a shaman. You can even beat up high elves.”

“…Chris? Are you okay? Your eyes are open.”

Thump –

If you have a runny nose all day, your nose will get blocked.

This is something I just learned today.

Daughter –

“Please give me some time off after this is over.”

Daughter –

This time the drops became lighter again.

If it had been like this from the beginning, I would have shaken it excitedly.

“Give me the next one.”

Hwaruruk –

“Chris! Please heal me with divine power…”

“Will it hurt more if I do that?”

The bleeding will stop right away and your body will feel refreshed, but…

In the end, you will have to suffer as much as you can without getting sick.

The moment I took the paper and was about to shake the bell.

Serena’s flute sound rang out.

“…hmm?”

Serena, with a rather determined expression, was playing the flute with her eyes closed.

I think you’re thinking of sharing it.

“It must be very difficult…”

At my level, it ends in a nosebleed.

This is something an ordinary shaman would never even think of doing.

Because it doesn’t make sense to cut off ties.

Perhaps the moment he tried, blood would pour out from every orifice in his body.

Fortunately, it is possible because the spirit himself stepped in. If it weren’t for that, it would be impossible for me too.

Daughter –

“His name is Garcea. He is fifty-three years old.”

Thud thud –

This time it wasn’t my blood.

As soon as she said the name, blood flowed from Serena’s nose.

Judging from the liquid flowing from his mouth, it seems to have already started.

“…I told you it was hard.”

The moment we cut ties, I wanted to vomit blood.

Daughter –

“He cleverly operated the top by taking advantage of the rules of the church…”

Daughter –

“The money from the temple construction cost was embezzled and used to raise the upper class.”

As I was telling them a few more sins, I heard the sound of our relationship being cut off.

and.

Gulp –

Blood began to flow from Serena’s mouth.

The blood-stained leaves made no sound, but instead created a sound of wind rustling.

His originally white face had now become pale and even his veins were starting to show through.

“I’m going to catch an elf today.”

Thanks to that, the drop became a little lighter.

The blood flowing from my nose has also decreased a little.

It’s not that it’s completely ineffective.

“I guess the wizard also shares.”

It feels a bit excessive for someone to just play a flute next to me…

Would it be helpful if I saved some guys who play drums and janggu later?

“Hey, how many are left?”

“…I haven’t even finished half of it yet.”

“….”

“If it’s like this in half a day, it should be over by tomorrow.”

I thought I could finish it quickly if I just worked a little harder.

But then Allure said something strange.

“….Half a day?”

“Was it shorter?”

It must have felt like a long time because it was hard.

Aluard made a strange face and opened his mouth.

“A whole day has already passed.”

“….?”

What does this mean?

A day has passed after shaking the bell a few times and reading a few pages of paper?

It was nonsense, even though there was no break in between.

Because I couldn’t fill that time with what I did.

“How does a day go by doing this?”

Aluard’s face becomes stranger.

Only then did I realize.

The length of the seconds has become incredibly short.

“….”

The newly taken out grass had become shorter in no time.

“Chris shook the bell at a very slow pace.”

Wasn’t it just shaking all at once like usual?

“Even when you called my name, it was slow.”

For some reason, my throat felt really sore.

“And then after a long time, he started to recite his charges.”

The scenes running through my head seemed to take longer than I thought.

It’s like being possessed by something.

Serena also nodded as if she agreed with Aluard’s words.

“When do I receive the trust?”

“…There has been no contact yet.”

There was a mountain of work to do.

The paper I’m writing on now is made up of sinners who are equally chosen.

In fact, there will be more.

Because only the key figures have been selected.

If you want to do all this and even open your mouth…

Tingling.

Shudder.

When I glared at Aluard, he looked away in surprise.

“hey.”

“yes…?”

“Pour some divine power into it.”

“Didn’t you say earlier that it would get harder?”

“Why don’t you just sleep for a few days and wake up?”

Of course, you’ll probably just pass out and fall asleep.

“There’s no need to rush.”

“Why isn’t it there? They must be in the middle of a battle right now.”

“….”

I wonder how much our inspirations are suffering.

And for that guy’s sake, this method worked.

Since he is the next pope, he should not commit any sins before becoming pope.

“You’re telling me to take the knights and save them all.”

Allure’s expression had been strange since before, but it was much worse now.

You could say he looked shocked.

“Chris….”

“hmm?”

“You are trying to save people even though you are bleeding so much.”

It’s an expression I’ve seen somewhere.

The expression my inspirations made when they misunderstood me.

“A life for others, regardless of one’s own comfort…”

Aluard suddenly nodded his head.

“Thank you. I learned a lot.”

Flash –

The light emanating from Aluard became even stronger.

A dazzling and bright feeling.

I wonder if their grandfather is dancing somewhere.

And there was one more thing shining.

In the arms of Aluard.

“Hey, I think I’m getting a call?”

“….Huh!”

Aluard urgently takes out the crystal ball.

A voice came out from there.

– The trust schedule has been brought forward.

“Mr. Klein?”

– They look really desperate. What on earth are they doing?

“Their divine power will soon begin to dissipate.”

– …I can’t believe it.

“It’s all true.”

– I know it’s true. But right now, we need to resolve the trust issue.

If their movements have become urgent, there is one reason.

They too must have felt that their divine power was fading away.

It was clear that the plan was to bring forward the schedule of the oracle and bring down the Pope.

– The trust’s schedule is tomorrow evening. They’ve already finished all the preparations.

What exactly do I need to prepare?

At first glance, I heard that the process is not easy…

– They probably didn’t prepare properly. They probably already thought they wouldn’t receive the trust.

“…in the worst case scenario.”

Aluard’s expression hardened.

“There’s going to be a battle.”

It’s a funny situation.

They are desperate because their divine power is disappearing.

The Pope is unlikely to receive a trust because he is not properly prepared.

It’s a fight where the one who endures wins.

The final outcome is certain to be an armed conflict.

I couldn’t help but say something.

“You’re sitting there laughing.”

– ….Chris?

“Go ahead and do it. You can get the trust anyway.”

– Are you sure? No… I guess so.

“That’s what I came here to do.”

Now that you’ve taken responsibility, all you have to do is open your mouth.

There’s still a lot left, though…

There was a back and forth of needless talk about making preparations, and then contact was lost.

“Hey, Allure.”

“Yes, Chris.”

“With all your might, pour out your divine power.”

Serena’s flute began to play, and light began to emanate from Aluard.

I will have to pay the pain of instalments in a lump sum, but…

What can you do without hitting it with your body?

Daughter –
