Faith Life of a Former Scammer

022. Shock and horror, you nerds!

The children who participated in the training had a bizarre experience.

“Gee, hell! This place is hell!”

“How do you do this! You demons!”

“die! People will die if they do this!”

Even if you go through hell.

“I believe! God, I believe!”

“Yes, it works! God save you!”

“what. I’m afraid of this. Why? Oh, I believe!”

I also experienced heaven.

Special training to go back and forth between Heaven and Hell.

Surprisingly, the special training worked.

“I want to skip training, but how can I not be tired!”

“I’m really going crazy. My condition has improved.”

“My stamina has improved, so only the training is getting tougher. I’m really going crazy.”

“The healer also said that all those with backaches got better.”

“The head says hell, but the body wants training.”

“I feel like I’ve become a body that can’t live without special training.”

He said he hates words, but his body was honest. The children actively participated in the training over time.

While the training was going on, the inside of the church was also busy.

“After looking into it every year, you’re finally doing it this year, Priest Runda.”

“haha. The High Priest finally gave permission.”

“It’s a really good thing.”

“Hmm! I’d like something cheaper. There is no need for decoration, only the exterior of the building needs to be repaired.”

“Oh, is there any way? My son was also treated here and survived. Just leave it to me!”

Renovation work outside the building.

The inside was remodeled thanks to Seira, but the outside was still as it was.

It was because of the high priest’s stubbornness that the exterior repairs of the building had been delayed.

‘Rather than spending gold on external repairs, spend it for the prospective priests and villagers.’

But now I didn’t have to. There was quite a lot of gold piled up in the church vault.

“Can I pay the bill in installments? I will take it slowly.”

“haha. There is no need for that.”

Priest Runda handed over the price for one room on the spot.

Unlike the Runda priest who was always nervous in front of Gold, he had a lively appearance.

The preparations for the meeting went smoothly.

Time passed quickly.

* * *

On the day of the exchange meeting, the high priest called Leon. The reason he called Leon was simple.

“I mean?”

“okay. Follow me today.”

High priest’s attendant.

Leone was in charge of what Priest Ruth usually did.

‘Nice shot, old man! That’s it!’

Leon called out for joy inwardly.

I was just about to need more ‘material’ to make a story out of.

It was still worth the hard work.

“It is almost time for the appointment. I have to move right away, is that okay?”

“Yes, high priest. It is an honor for me to serve you today.”

“haha. You wouldn’t know how reliable I am because you are there.”

The High Priestess looked at Leon happily.

‘I don’t even know how good it is because the old man pushed me hard.’

A smile appeared on Leon’s face.

“It is time to arrive. Let’s go out soon.”

“Yes, High Priestess.”

So, I followed the high priest and went out to greet the Church of Hope.

The number of people welcoming the Church of Hope was small, but special.

‘Should I say it’s like the Church of Dawn?’

There were no children or priests waiting for the welcome. The only one who came out to welcome them was the high priest.

‘If the boss greets you, the number of people is useless. That’s great.’

While Leon admired, the Church of Hope arrived. The Church of Hope was the exact opposite of the Church of Dawn.

‘nice! That’s the church I know!’

Luxurious wagons, expensive priestly clothes, and arrogant expressions. It was exactly what Leon had thought of the church.

“The Church of Dawn welcomes the ‘sect’, the Church of Hope. Come on.”

The priests of the Church of Hope frowned at the high priest’s greeting. The word ‘sect’ meant to be irritating.

‘Aren’t they very sensitive to fact attacks?’

It wasn’t even that I made up words that didn’t exist.

It’s a fact that the Church of Hope is a sect.

Then the carriage door opens.

“haha. Miller, long time no see.”

A man who seemed to be the representative of the exchange meeting got off the carriage.

“Wharton, you worked hard to get here. Come on in.”

Wharton. It was a name Leon had heard. That man was the ‘High Priest’ of the Church of Hope.

“Aye, then. The sect must follow the teachings of the main school.”

A deep disdain lay on his face as he responded.

‘Wow. Tell our old man that he’s going to die.’

Despite his blatant appearance, the High Priest was not shaken.

“Because I know this well. Wharton, I’m glad you’re in charge of ‘Sect.’”

The High Priestess did not lose and immediately threw a jab. Perhaps it was an unexpected attack, he kept his mouth shut.

“Come in.”

The old man smiled and guided them.

‘Nice shot, old man!’

The high priest whose values had changed was fierce.

* * *

The two high priests stood at the very front and walked away talking.

It seemed like something great was going on, but Leon, who was listening right behind him, saw the truth.

The two were arguing.

Elderly elders’ quarrels are very different from what we think.

‘I never thought it would be so childish.’

They were having an argument that was childish beyond imagination.

“That bastard’s noise, isn’t it time to stop?”

“haha. It’s true, so I’m not going to stop and go to sleep.”

“Ah~ That’s why the main school kids always lose to the sect kids.”

“haha. We’ll win this time The one who wins last is the winner.”

“The losers say so.”

“why? If you’re nervous, tell me. I’ll look after you for a bit.”

This level of arguing continued.

‘It’s a real illusion.’

It was only after listening to the conversation between the two that I could understand how this relationship was created.

“How come you can’t beat me since becoming the high priest? The previous high priest should have seen this.”

“haha. Didn’t you do well then? didn’t you tell me earlier Losers say so.”

“this person!”

The two seemed to be rivals until now due to the motives of the church.

‘Two people who are so different are motives.’

Such a childish fight ended only after arriving inside the church.

“Huh. To change like this.”

He was surprised to see the neatly renovated church.

“It reminds me of the old days. Everything is the same as before… … .”

The young priests of the Church of Hope were still squeamish, but this place meant a lot to Wharton, the high priest.

After looking around for a while, he opened his mouth.

“What have you given up on?”

“Give up?”

“I had to give up a few things in order to make the Church of Hope bigger. Looking at me pitifully like that, you guys are the same.”

It was not for nothing that he held the title of high priest.

“You, too, are only human after all. You pretended to be so stubborn I was a human being covered with the same filth.”

Disregard and even contempt appeared on his face.

‘uh?’

The old gentleman’s expression, which had been mild all along, hardened in an instant.

“You ugly bastard, you mean you wore it even though you knew it was filth?”

“Are you still pretending to be lofty?”

“I didn’t lose. I just got more.”

“I must have gotten gold.”

To repair the entire church, a huge amount of gold is bound to go into it.

He said it ironically, but the high priest’s expression did not change.

I was just speaking quietly.

“We acted so differently to reach the same result.”

The two were so different.

“I just got the will of God.”

“You are crazy. you are crazy.”

“Check for yourself if I am crazy. I will show it to you at the exchange meeting.”

It was a declaration of war worthy of a high priest.

* * *

It started with a welcome meal.

‘The first jab is light.’

The arrogant priests of the Church of Hope.

It was when they entered the restaurant that they changed.

Remodeling left by the Count for his daughter. The restaurant with aristocratic aesthetics was enough to make them feel intimidated.

“Uh, is this the Church of Dawn?”

“What kind of restaurant is this?”

“Wasn’t it a piece of cake last year?”

It’s still too early to be surprised.

While the guys were looking around, the meal was ready and started coming out.

Thick steak and garnish.

and various fruits.

Besides, this wasn’t even a regular ingredient.

“Oh clothes?!”

“Mi, crazy. Is the meat really good?”

“Oh oh. Did the Church of Dawn overdo it?”

“Is this the taste of overdoing it?”

“No, don’t be surprised. Our denomination food is also delicious.”

“Are you eating somewhere else with me?”

“right. Humanly, we are not delicious.”

“Anyway, we like it better.”

When I took a bite, I couldn’t help but say that it was delicious. Besides, if you weren’t expecting it, you will be shocked.

The shock continued.

Dalian time, which can be said to be the highlight of the exchange meeting.

This is where I got my second shock.

“Fall down! Are you a zombie?!”

“nice. Can you stand it?”

The children of the Church of Dawn were persistent as one.

“I don’t have any skills, but I only like my skills!”

“Whoop whoop. Ground training extension. it’s hell! I can’t lose!”

The skills of the Church of Hope priests were much higher.

puck! puck! puck!

One-sided violence that is embarrassing to call it sparring.

“Hard to hold on!”

However, the children of the Church of Dawn endured the merciless violence.

Instead, he smiled and approached me like a zombie. It was like horror.

“Go away!”

A scene where the person who is beating seems rather cornered.

Even when it was time to collapse, the guys all started talking crazy.

“I believe! Oh God! If I fall, I die! I believe!”

The sight of him chanting the word ‘I believe’ and approaching like a zombie.

“Mi, crazy! You madman! away!”

Beyond fear, it made people sick. The parade ground was filled with silence.

“Mmm, crazy. Are we winning right?!”

“You are winning. We also have a higher win rate. But what is this, I’m afraid.”

Of course, it was difficult to win with just a short period of physical training. Of course, the Church of Hope had a much higher win rate.

However, their reactions were completely different.

“Why are you doing this crazy thing?”

“Don’t tremble! We are winning!”

The Church of Hope was filled with fear and trembled.

“Lord! Another training session! It just needs to be me!”

“Heh heh. are you training? I win!”

“It’s a basket hunt!”

For some reason, everyone in the Church of Dawn was smirking.

Besides, every time silence descended on the parade ground.

“I believe. Oh God.”

“I believe.”

Looking at the guys who keep muttering that they believe. They couldn’t believe that they were priests like them.

“Me, those crazy bastards. What kind of a priest is that!”

The Priests of the Order of Hope said that he was not a Priest.

“haha. I am so deeply religious. The children are doing really well.”

“A heart that never gives up. Leone planted good things in him.”

“To find God until the moment you collapse. It really has faith in you.”

The priests of the Church of Dawn were looking at it with satisfaction.

To others, he was fearful, but to his family, he was nothing short of a model of a priest full of faith.

‘This is a priest! Full of faith!’

Leon watched Dalian and smiled. Besides, the real surprise hasn’t even come out yet.

“fight!”

cried Philip, whose struggle was seething.
