The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 126

126 – The man who came to give me water

Every time you take a step, the scenery you see changes rapidly.

From the room with Camel to the city streets,

From the city streets to the square where the temple can be seen.

As the scenery was changing like that, the person running ahead suddenly stopped and his head turned towards me.

“Duran, which room is Theros staying in?”

A man wearing a mask asked a question. In an unfamiliar voice that I have never heard before.

It was amazing. The owner of that voice is clearly Carmel, and no matter how much of a magic mask she wears, her body shape changes along with her voice.

“It will be on the top floor of the temple. But why is that?”

“They called Lily a while ago. Lily is making preparations.”

“What are you planning to do at this time of night…?”

“I told you. Those guys are going to start work today. You’ll just find out naturally when you arrive. By the way···.”

“What the hell are you…”

What are you doing that you can see through these situations?

Also, how can you be so relaxed even in this tense situation?

I really wanted to ask, but I was so speechless that I couldn’t.

“You look really good in a mask. The one you wrote looks much better. Hey. “I’ll give it to you, so how about using it from now on?”

My friend looked so relaxed as he made a joke, shrugged his shoulders, and then started walking forward again.

“···.”

I wonder if I am being influenced by that appearance.

My impatience begins to subside little by little.

Perhaps because I have regained my composure, my curiosity begins to bloom.

What is this guy doing that he can so casually give away a magic mask with such ridiculous performance?

With a mask of this level of performance, I think I could spend a lifetime playing with it just by selling one.

Doubts and curiosity about Camel continue to follow her.

The scenery continues to change, and the night becomes deeper and deeper.

A handful of black powder, held in her wrinkled palm, begins to fall.

When the powder touched the water puddle in the large bowl, a loud boiling sound was heard.

-Boom, boom!

Soon, the sound of something exploding begins to be heard.

“This too may be a trial given by the Father out of lovingkindness…”

“I hope that our saint can accept this moment faithfully…”

“Immanuel.”

“Immanuel.”

Cardinal Theros and Paul, who were watching the vessel gradually becoming quiet, prayed in a devout manner.

“Anyway… Cardinal Theros. “Did you bring that item with you?”

“Baol, my brother. “What do you mean?”

When Cardinal Paul asked with a worried look, Cardinal Theros raised the corners of his mouth and asked back.

“That medicine he gave me. I am a body that has to follow His will and guide the saint for Him, but as I am getting older… I am a little worried. Hmm…”

“Oh, is this what you mean? Of course I brought it. I am also in a situation that is not much different from you, so… Kkeul. “It is truly a shame.”

“It is also a gracious thing. hehehehe!”

When Theros took out a black pill from his arms and smiled ugly, Baol smiled even more, revealing his yellow teeth, took the pill, and shoved it into his mouth.

“Ah, Sir Berg makes training of his mind and body, so you don’t need things like this, right?”

Cardinal Theros, who had swallowed the same pill upon seeing this, turned his head, then smiled benevolently at the man standing in a firm posture and asked a question.

“No. This time, I want to feel his power too.”

“Oh… You seem more motivated than usual?”

“Isn’t it an important ritual? “I will have to work a little harder to strengthen the saint’s mind and body as he wants.”

“hahahaha, this old man’s attitude is so sincere that it puts him to shame. Now then, let’s eat it. “The saint will be here soon.”

After swallowing the pill with a gulp, Berg stood in a solemn posture again and muttered softly.

“The saint is coming. “I can hear footsteps.”

“Then shall we get ready soon? Brother Baol?”

“I have already prepared it. “I want the barrier to be activated as soon as the saint comes.”

“Good. “Everything is perfect.”

The three men looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

How long has it been like that?

With a knock on the door, a girl with a sickly complexion and light purple hair that hung neatly came into her room.

“I came because I had urgent business to do.”

Lily bowed her head politely, but rolled her eyes and looked around attentively.

Ominous-colored water in a large bowl,

The uncomfortable expressions of the three men, who seemed excited for some reason,

A translucent colored barrier forming along the wall,

And even the black haze rising faintly from their bodies, visible only to Lily’s eyes.

Lily knew right away. These guys were also corrupt people.

“It must have been unexpected for these old people to contact me this late at night… I am so grateful and sorry for coming. “Saint.”

“It is natural for a saint to respond to the leader’s call.”

“This is a truly faithful attitude. Even the Heavenly God would be pleased… huh?”

The Theros priest, who was saying something, looked at the baby bluebird sticking her head out of Lily’s breasts and tilted her head.

“This is my first pet. “I guess you’ve picked up a new hobby?”

“I guess the Heavenly God took pity on me for being confined to the temple. “I see that you gave me a friend like this when I was living a solitary life.”

“hehehe, is that so… It’s a shame. I can’t believe that the writer called the guide didn’t know about the saint’s hardships… By the way, that baby bird is really barking. After all, the nest is in a place like that… This old man is worried about what other people think…”

“Anyway, what business did you summon me for?”

“Ah, the business for which we called the saint…”

Is it because his words were interrupted by the saint? Cardinal Theros frowned and trailed off, and the answer to Lily’s question came from right next to him.

“Before going on the pilgrimage, there is one ritual that the saint must perform.”

“A ritual performed before embarking on a journey? “I have been making the pilgrimage every year, but this is the first time I have heard of this.”

“Ah, that’s because this ceremony can only be performed if you are over the prescribed age. The saint is eighteen this year. “She is old enough to perform the ceremony.”

“To be exact, there are still two months left.”

“That doesn’t matter. What is important is the spirit and body of the saint. “If you think of it as cleaning her body and mind, the pain will be lessened.”

“Pain…?”

Lily’s complexion began to harden rapidly as she saw Baol answering with an ugly smile.

“It’s a kind of purification ritual, so you don’t need to worry too much. Because we are the guides. The saint can rest assured, and she can entrust her mind and body to us for a moment. Now, for now…”

Baol knelt down in front of the bowl on the platform, picked up a glass, filled it with black water, handed it to Lily, and said,

“Drink this holy water. As her distracting thoughts are swept away, she will be able to fully focus on her conscious mind.”

“···I guess I was wrong all this time. “If you look at Cardinal Paul calling this water permeated with turbid energy holy water.”

“Doesn’t the saint know this? What you see, what you feel. Those things aren’t everything. “Like the trials the saint goes through every year on her pilgrimage.”

“···.”

“Take it in.”

“I refuse.”

Cardinal Baol narrowed his eyes at Lily’s stern tone.

Lily looked at her three men one by one with her stern eyes and chewed their brains.

“The Heavenly God said that a faithful person should purify her body and mind, but should not lend a helping hand to others. However, it appears that the ritual the leaders are trying to perform is the opposite.”

“hehehehe… We are guides who follow the will of the Heavenly God…”

“Also, there is no ritual that I do not know. Even if there is one, there has never been a ceremony like now where one is unilaterally notified and held in place.”

“This ritual was originally…”

“Just in case, if this ceremony really has to be performed, I will conduct it after asking the Pope and the saint.”

After saying that, Lily tried to turn her body.

“Lord Berg.”

“Yes.”

Then Cardinal Theros called Berg in a quiet voice, and Berg immediately grabbed Lily’s arms.

“What are you doing now…!”

“The ceremony must take place. Because He wants it.”

Cardinal Theros said this and approached Lily, holding a glass filled with black water. Lily, holding her arms, desperately pursed her mouth while shaking.

“For Him who is greater than the heavenly gods.”

“Eup, eup…!”

As Theros roughly pressed both cheeks with his thumb and index finger, Lily’s lips began to open little by little.

The cup is placed against Lily’s lips, and the corners of Cardinal Theros’ mouth turn up in an ugly way.

“Please quietly entrust your body and mind to us. “Maybe it was a fun time for the saint, too.”

The moment when the black water was about to enter between Lily’s lips.

-Wow!

The barrier is broken.

“That’s terrible.”

An unfamiliar voice is heard in the room.

-Kwasik!

Cardinal Theros’ head was caught by some hand and fell to the floor.

“Big! Who dares…!”

“Who is it?”

After the masked man forcibly opened Theros’ lips.

“You are the one who came to give me water.”

He poured all the black water in the glass between his lips.
