115 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (31)
31.
I took a step forward on behalf of Mira, who didn’t seem very happy. How many months has it been? I know at least that there is a gap equal to one season. She was the same as she was, but she never thought that she would reunite with him in this form.
“How have you been doing… ….”
“Ah, the greetings are over. I have a business, so listen first.”
I frowned at his rude gesture of waving his hand, but I decided to just let it go when I saw him running with the priests on this cold day. Not as much as she who helped me out of her sheer favor, but he was also the one who sealed her judicial deal and made her mummy free.
“Tell me.”
“From now on we will go to the monastery. I’ll explain where it is later, and I’ll have to find evidence of infidelity there.”
“Evidence of infidelity…… ?”
“Yeah, I don’t know about you, but a very, very high-ranking person in my place is looking for a bad back.”
I blinked. From the position of heresy questioner, you can guess what he usually does, but he is ruthless even with the same clergy. No, can I openly say to me, a civilian, that the church is not as clean as it is in the first place? Of course, I’m not particularly surprised since Elena has already told me about the internal situation. The heretic inquisitor clicked his tongue at me looking at horse dung horse dung himself. It’s unfortunate. What did i do
“I am not surprised at all. Unlucky bastard.”
“Yes, I understand what you are doing, but what does that have to do with me?”
“That…… As you can see, he takes a few subordinates with him, but if the priest rushes in again at this timing due to circumstances, there is a high possibility that he will be wary of them. Neither I nor these guys are good at acting like that.”
He pointed to his back, embarrassed. The men and women, all dressed in court uniforms, looked at Mira with rather stiff expressions at the point of their boss. They don’t even know who I am, but they must be embarrassed.
“The priest was taken there, but thanks to that, there will only be nuns in the monastery. So…….”

No way.
“There is you here who rolls his tongue well, becomes a face, and acts well. I will explain the circumstances as we go, so please help me.”

No, this old man? I remembered the terrible things that had happened in the mansion. Disguise yourself as a woman to infiltrate the interior…… No, the terrible things that made the servants shudder while transforming passed by like a kaleidoscope. You want me to do that again?
“Ah, that ‘transformation’ is unnecessary this time. I told you, only nuns would be there.”
“…… What is it?”
“That thief every day…… No, pretending to be naive while flirting with him. Are you asking because you don’t know?”
I blinked again. So, now tell me to go to the monastery and play lots against the nuns who swore chastity? To soften the vigilance of the Heretic Questioner and his companions? Who do you know as Gerald? Suddenly, I turned my gaze to Mira, who had been pulling my side from earlier.
“Why? Shall I refuse too?”
“No, not that.”
Mira, who seemed uncomfortable because her date was interrupted, listened to the heretic inquisitor’s story and whispered to me as if she thought of something. How it was reflected to the priests living in a solemn environment, even screaming among themselves.
“I know the monastery he talked about.”
“Huh?”
“There is an old monastery down town that doubles as an orphanage. When I was young, it was a place where orphans like me were taken care of, so Master often took me there. It is run by one grandfather.”
I moved my face away from Mira and looked at the heretic inquisitor’s nervous face. What is this feeling of deja vu? Do you think I’m missing something? The transfer of information took place without a problem. But…….
“So are you going to help or not? Think back to your help later. I don’t have enough hands right now.”
“Only one thing.”
“Huh? Say.”
“That monastery, is it the only place outside the capital? Mira told me.”
“It is unique in that area. What?”
──My father is a priest. You run a small monastery located at the edge of the royal capital.
“Let’s go. Let’s talk as we go.”
“What? No, I get it. I will.”
As I urged him on, I turned to Mira. She also seems to be bothered by her personal connection. We looked at each other once and ran away with them in an instant.
“I think I need to run a little faster!”
“hehehe… ….”
But not only the mummies, but also the priests strengthened themselves and ran out of line, so I was the only one left behind in the ranks. Somehow, he said he was in a hurry and came without riding a horse. It could run like a horse, so I didn’t bring it. In the end, I headed for the monastery with an ugly figure on the back of a mummy.

Baolof Riddle Udan.
A cardinal who assists the pope by overseeing the 1st Parish of the Cathedral, the headquarters of the doctrine enshrining El-Ra, the goddess of order and justice. He is practically one of the second in power after the pope.
His achievements and faith engraved in the librarian’s rank are almost accepted as faith by the clergy below the bishop’s rank. After being kicked out of his family for committing evil 35 years ago, Baolof, who devoted himself to doctrine for rehabilitation, took advantage of the fact that he came from a merchant family before the church grew to this extent, and with his skill, he made a great contribution to the power of the current generation church. Not only did he make a contribution, but he also achieved a high rank by proving his sincere faith more than anyone else through the enormous power of divine spells, as if clearing up the past, which was clearly an evil person.
The fact that he was able to reach the rank of cardinal in a relatively short period of time, having not turned to God since childhood, proves Baolof’s skill and his faith as a priest…… He has one secret.
He is a follower of the still-growing El-Ra, who eats chaos and maintains the greatest power in the country, but it is true that he gains power from Sel-Lu, the god of lies and illusions.
Ordinary people cannot hold two beliefs in one body. However, even before turning to her doctrine of El-Ra, Baolof, who had already served the unknown god Sel-Lu through her contracts, was able to claim her own divinity as a privilege reserved only for her followers who believed in her. I succeeded in covering it with Ra’s.
As he rose to higher positions, the power of his illusions grew stronger. Followers of El-Ra do not dare to question the divinity of those higher in hierarchy than themselves. The only person he couldn’t fool was the one pope, who had a special eye for truth, but he never doubted his companions, as his rise to that position showed. Baolof rose to his current position through the divinity of another god.
Of course, unlike the god of justice, the god of illusion needs a price. Unlike the evil god Jul-Kal who openly tried to devour the rest of his life, what the god of illusions demanded were newborn babies. In the name of bestowing consecration on her mothers, Baolof sacrificed them on an imaginary altar, and the mother died shortly after giving birth, either mad or having visions and suffering from fever before giving birth to her child. His divinity was maintained through such covert maneuvers. However, the power had the power to cover up those things, and since the illusion was insubstantial, no evidence was left.
In this way, he was safely leading a respected life as a cardinal. However, if there was only one flaw in his life, he was the presence of a bishop who had previously assisted him. Around the time he safely ascended to the position of bishop with false faith, an assistant bishop, who did not have special abilities like the Pope, tracked his activities and finally found out the truth.
Upon learning of this fact, Ba Olof borrowed the power of her goddess and tried to manipulate his mind. But for some reason he did not immediately accuse himself, but rather voluntarily left the honorable church. Then he opened a monastery, gaining popularity among the poor, and warning that he, who had grown too large, could not be easily approached. That was already 25 years ago.
Baolof was a man with ambitions to someday become pope and change this doctrine to his liking. He planned to dedicate the memory of thousands and tens of thousands of priests to Sel-Lu to shake the state religion in the future. For that, there shouldn’t be a single person who knows the truth about himself.
An edict was issued, and Baolof immediately arrested him. Unlike himself, who continued his life through his divinity, a clumsy old priest understood his situation and did not resist, holding his monastery hostage.
In two days, his punishment will be fulfilled. In fact, they will be punished severely, equivalent to execution. And he will never be able to resist with that senile body. His own movements are always in the sight of other followers, but now that even the Pope has turned to the royal palace, no one can go against him.
One afternoon he looked out his window thinking that way, and a dry knocking sound resounded in his spacious office. He wasn’t alert, and a knight entered the room making a rough sound.
The moment he faced the knight, he frowned. His presence was famous even within the cathedral. He is a man of humble origins, who never reveals his true identity or appearance, like a ghost. However, he was formally appointed by the pope, and because he proved his skills by subjugating demons several times, he became a knight of the cathedral.
Baolof always hated him for not being able to resolve a single curse and giving off an unpleasantly cracked voice. It’s just that they don’t have a chance to openly express their feelings considering each other’s position. The cardinal moved his chin and the knight opened his mouth.
“——His Excellency Cardinal.”
He straightened his expression. What did you hear now? His, no, her voice he knew was not so clear and beautiful. There wasn’t even a trace of the curse left in that tone. Baolof hid his agitation. Baolof was overcome with a desire to take off the helmet immediately. Then she got down on one knee.
“The Servant of God and member of the Knights Templar greets Your Excellency.”
“Accepted. What happened?”
Although he hurriedly accepted her greeting, she was still on her one knee. I had to come quickly so that I could take off the helmet and slowly erode my mind through the illusion. How many cathedral knights have he made into his allies in that way?
“Actually, I have something to tell you…… I came here unexpectedly.”
“I am telling you to speak.”
“…… I have something to tell you about an elderly priest who was taken to the church not too long ago.”
“… ….”
His desire was simmering for a while, and Baolof narrowed his eyes as he glared at the kneeling knight.
“I know that Your Majesty judged that bride as a heretic and is waiting for judgment, but… ….”
“That old man is a heretic!!”
“Yes. Haona, could you please have mercy and reconsider the judgment? The crime is clear, but at least for several decades, she has done good deeds by taking homeless children and mothers who lost their children as nuns. Speaking of personal punishment, I think the reward for doing things that other priests couldn’t do should also be done.”
“…… Knight.”
“Yes.”
“Not allowed.”
There was a long silence. Colorful light reflected from the stained glass, illuminating the scarred armor. Soon after, the knight knelt on the other knee.
“I dare you to ask. If you accept it, I will do whatever your eminence demands in the future.”
“Not allowed.”
The knight hit his head on the floor. There was a noise so loud that his old helm was crushed.
“It doesn’t matter if you punish me for this. Only, only, the referee.”
“Not allowed.”
“I will forsake all my honor as a knight of the cathedral, even if I am an apostate. I will be judged. So.”
“──It is not allowed.”
A long, long silence. The knight did not raise his head. Baolof touched his folded chin and clicked his tongue.
“What is your name?”
“…… This is Grace. Yes.”
“Yes, Sir Grace. What reason do I have to punish you? A request for homage can be suggested by any good-hearted cleric.”
“If it is false.”
Baolof said forcefully. He spoke clearly as a person second in rank to the pope.
“——That person is a heretic. All I can say to you is this.”
There was a longer silence than before. Baolof could not understand why this woman had gone so far for the bride. No, in fact, I wasn’t even interested. It was just that this article, which kept trying to go against his will, was infinitely unpleasant.
Soon, the knight opened his mouth again.
“Yeah.”
“Speak.”
“Sorry.”
Then the knight rose from the floor. If I leave it like this, I’ll probably open the door I came in and leave. Baolof opened his mouth.
“Baumutterji【I do it】.”
The door slams! Closed with a sound. Although he is the divinity of another god, his words are endowed with power.
“Where are you going?”
“Sorry.”
“Answer me.”
The knight turned and looked back at the cardinal. And then, she declared to him in a clearer voice than ever before.
“—From now on, I will do my duty as her daughter, not as a knight.”
“Stop.”
Baolof cast a spell before he could finish his words. His words have power. Handling the power of illusions, he had at least the ability to use spells worthy of a cardinal. However. The knight was freed.
Her twentieth of church power. She puts her, no, puts each of her cathedral knights, including her. If you think about the repair, you will find something strange. In that case, the calculation of the Church’s total strength never included the normal Paladins, their lieutenants, and more priests.
The reason is simple. Compared to the royal family, their power is so overwhelming that they only count the number of cathedral knights when calculating their strength.
“I told you to stop——!”
Boo-wook! To get away from his command, the paladin shook his fist and tore the air open. From that wind pressure, Baolof’s heavy body is pushed back. Soon there was a deafening deafening sound.
“Are you going to betray justice!!”
The knight’s body stopped for a moment at the one word he uttered as if in a fit of rage. Then, turning around, she stood in the middle of the hallway and spoke to him.
“Your Majesty, it seems you can hear him. Not me Not once was his silence broken.”
“What?”
“So, all of this. It is my decision.”
The model disappeared from sight. Baolof left the office one step late.
