Faith Life of a Former Scammer

014. dawn or dawn. That’s it!

Crime City Killica.

The road to get here was not so smooth.

I was able to fly in one room using the teleport gate, but there was a problem.

“Oh, Priest Leon, how did you get out of the house?”

“I came out for a while because of the high priest’s errand. Could you keep my appearance a secret?”

“sure! I’ll keep my mouth shut. Have a safe trip!”

People immediately recognized Rion wearing a deep robe.

It’s a small town, so rumors will spread quickly, but it wasn’t a bad thing.

‘A priest who secretly runs errands. nice! This is what creates a sense of mystery.’

Everyone knew that Leon was an excellent priest. Of course, rumors had no choice but to fly in a good direction.

After a minor incident, Leone was able to use the teleport gate.

“You are the priest. Please present the necklace.”

“Here it is.”

The teleport gate could be used at a very high price, but the Priest was an exception.

‘I should have been a priest before, instead of being in the dark like shit.’

The treatment of the world was completely different just because he was a ‘priest’.

“Where is your destination?”

“This is the neutral city of Killika.”

“Huh. Please be careful.”

A job that softens even the famously clerical and rigid teleport guide!

That was the priest.

“You will arrive in the blink of an eye. Have a nice trip.”

As he said, it took only a blink of an eye to arrive at Killika.

* * *

Old and dirty buildings.

drunkards and beggars.

The smell of alcohol wafts through the city.

‘It’s a nostalgic smell.’

It may feel like a stench to others, but not to Leon.

‘I’m only going to stop here.’

Leon took off the robe he was wearing. It would be a big deal if I got stabbed while wearing a robe for no reason.

It was safer to openly show off the priestly uniform.

‘No matter how hard life is, I will never touch a priest.’

Not because priests are sacred or respected.

‘It’s because I’m scared.’

For the priest’s death, ruthless retribution is poured out.

Not only the Church of Dawn, but all the churches become a public figure, and the culprits are hunted down.

‘It’s a terrible thing to think of turning all the churches in the world into enemies.’

Thanks to that, I try not to get involved with the priest as much as possible in my last life.

As Leon thought, he only looked around, but no one came close.

‘If it wasn’t for the priest, it would have been a long time since I came here.’

Leon walked slowly inside.

I headed towards the center of the city, avoiding old buildings tangled like spider webs and drunkards sleeping on the streets.

A luxurious building that does not match the surrounding buildings at all.

This was Leon’s destination.

‘Even at this time, one building is amazing.’

‘Kilica’, called the crime city.

This is a ‘neutral city’ where there are no nobles and lords, and it is run by the citizens.

The explanation is grandiose, but when you look at the contents openly, it is gruesome.

‘Because it’s a trash can on the continent.’

Since all sorts of garbage from the continent had gathered and turned into a trash can, there was no way nobles and lords would come.

It was just a trash can wrapped in the grandiose name of ‘neutral city’.

But even in these trash cans, there is a king.

‘What is the blade of dawn? With a real naming sense.’

forces that rule the city.

Dawn’s Blade.

Rion came to meet the leader of the blade of dawn.

‘Let’s go in.’

Leon opened the door and went inside.

Even the headquarters of the Blade of Dawn did not have an office.

The first floor was operated as a high-end salon.

‘What if the salon is high-end? The guests are such assholes.’

“Ha ha ha! drink!”

“I heard you asked for a hukou this time!”

The interior is a high-end salon, but the atmosphere of the people is a cheap bar.

Soon, guests found Leone.

“priest?”

“Why is the priest here?”

“Shh! Quiet. If you get entangled for no reason, it will be a headache.”

“shit. The taste of the drink will go down.”

There was no need to be moved by people’s reactions. All you have to do is give the drunks a drink.

“Don’t worry about me, just play as you used to. Employee! Give each customer a beer!”

“Ah, I see!”

The waitress was shocked by Leon’s words.

“Did you just say that the priest is shooting beer?”

“what? Isn’t this a priest who knows the laws of a bar?”

“Shut up and let’s drink!”

“Hee-ya!”

When the beer came out, the pub was a piece of shit again.

None of the guests cared about Leone anymore.

Leone moved to a bar with a bartender.

“This is a rare guest.”

The middle-aged bartender opened his mouth as soon as he saw Leone.

‘This man was young at the time.’

It’s funny to say that middle-aged people are young, but compared to when they first met before returning, they looked much younger.

“What are you doing, priest, to this place?”

He smiled and spoke softly, but don’t be fooled. Contrary to his appearance, he is a formidable nobleman.

“I want to meet the old woman.”

“Are you a grandmother?”

He pretended not to know, but he couldn’t hide the full surprise on his face.

“Why are you pretending not to know? The old woman in the closet.”

“… … priest. It seems you have crossed the line. Just die.”

“Aren’t you going?”

“You won’t get a good look.”

I got goosebumps at his cool voice, but it was okay.

“why? Are you going to go to war with the denominations? That is the priest, priest.”

Leone said that and showed the necklace hanging around her neck.

“… … .”

He looked at Leon with an expressionless expression.

‘He must be contemplating whether to kill him or not.’

This unworthy conversation had to be passed quickly.

“I came here through the teleport gate and said that the destination is here. If I die, I will definitely die here.”

A warning not to think nonsense.

he wasn’t stupid

“How did you find out?”

Eventually he had no choice but to surrender. Dominating a region was incomparable with all the churches on the continent.

“Who can tell me this information?”

Leon asked his question.

He shook his head.

“no. This is information that no one else in the world knows.”

“Then how did I know that?”

“So that’s what I asked.”

He put on a firm expression, as if telling him not to joke.

Leon pointed to the sky with his finger.

“no way… … .”

His eyes widened as he tilted his head.

The priest speaks of only one sky. It’s already been over, but I had to drive a wedge.

Leone said lightly emitting holy power.

[Trait: Priest’s persuasion is activated.]

“Yes. God sent it.”

Mysterious and sacred atmosphere and information you will never know.

Combining the two gave it tremendous persuasive power.

[The persuasion target is convinced.]

[The persuasion target agrees.]

[The subject has been persuaded.]

If you don’t believe it, that’s a strange thing.

* * *

“I can’t believe it.”

The emotional agitation was transmitted as it was. I didn’t expect this man to be so surprised.

“You mean you need more explanation?”

He needs an explanation.

“I am from the Cult of the Dawn.”

Now it’s time to tell the story we’ve been preparing.

“Do you know what dawn is?”

“The dawn that becomes bright from evening to morning is called dawn… … .”

As he spoke, he stopped talking as if he felt something strange. It was natural.

The faction he belongs to is the Blade of Dawn.

Here, ‘dawn’ is not late at night in the general sense.

before dawn.

‘Dawn’ waiting for the morning.

Dawn and dawn were not very different.

‘Of course, that’s bullshit.’

It was only appropriately brought together, and even if it was from a different church, Leon had the confidence to weave it together.

But not for the bartender.

It just felt like a perfect fit.

“… … Are you the one we have been waiting for?”

The ‘blade’ of dawn.

The blade exists for someone to hold and wield.

Before the regression, this fact was known a long time later, but now it is a fact that no one knows.

Leon answered his question.

“Would you believe me if I told you that I am the person you have been waiting for?”

“I do not know. I waited, but I thought it would never come. I just thought it was something Grandma was talking about.”

It would be foolish to tell you to trust me right here.

“I was just brought here by God.”

“What is that… … .”

When Leon refused, he looked confused.

“So check it out for yourself.”

“Yes?”

“Are you just going to believe that the sky has decided? Check and judge for yourself if I am the real person who will open the dawn.”

“ah… … .”

When people tell you to believe, they start by doubting. However, if you ask them to check it for themselves, it is more like goodwill than suspicion.

So this method is more persuasive.

‘It makes me mistaken that I made a decision after seeing it myself.’

If you make up your mind and cheat anyway, it is a person who has no choice but to be deceived.

Trust was more important than immediate belief.

“good. We will watch over the priest.”

“This is Priest Leon. I wish you well in the future.”

“I am Flix, who manages this group.”

That’s how Leon and Flix officially greeted each other.

Hogu No. 4 entered.

* * *

The Blade of Dawn was an important force that could be used forever, but there was a different reason for Leon’s visit today.

“Come in. Grandma says she’ll see you.”

I came here to meet my grandmother.

Getting the Blade of Dawn right now won’t change much.

But meeting a grandmother is different. You can see the effect right away.

Leon entered the grandmother’s room.

‘It’s something to go back and see. I never thought that old woman would be happy.’

Inside the room, a nostalgic face was waiting for Leon.

“An old man greets those who open the dawn.”

She bowed down to her knees and greeted her warmly.

Contrary to what is said to be old, she did not look old at all. Rather, he looked younger.

But don’t be fooled by appearances.

“What kind of knee does an old man get down on? Even your bones must be sore, but wake up.”

It seems to treat young people as old people, but this is the correct answer.

She opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“I’m sorry if you feel bad. It was because I saw the many years you lived.”

With momentum, Leon started selling drugs.

“Uh, can you see that?”

“Yes. I can see the long and difficult years.”

Her heart was filled with tears.

Of course, Leon couldn’t see anything. It’s just a story I heard tired of serving her alcohol before returning.

“I see something entwined. What is that?”

“Ahhh… … You see through this too. It is the curse of the dawn.”

The grandmother’s persuasion ended with just two questions.

“We will hear about the curse in a moment. You will have plenty of time to talk to me for a while.”

“Yes?”

It is time to gradually achieve the purpose of coming here.

“Do you still have a soul tattoo?”

“… … How about a soul tattoo?”

Before she could finish her question, she took a pebble out of her pocket.

“It is new. I want to make a soul tattoo with this.”

“A god?! How did you get this!”

She looked at Leon in horror.

‘why? When everyone gets a tattoo, they engrave it as a sacred object, right? is not it?’

You are ready to receive your soul tattoo.
