Faith Life of a Former Scammer

006. Anyway, that’s God’s will. Anyway!

‘I have to beat this reinforced mission!’

Reinforcing missions were not easy to meet. I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Once the goal was set, Leon quickly organized his thoughts.

‘I need materials to make a story.’

It was stupid to say that I had to keep her alive.

‘It’s an absurd but believable story. I need a story like that.’

A story that must save her.

A story the high priest could understand.

I needed a story like that.

‘What materials can I use?’

talent as a saint.

The reason why the High Priest called Leon.

characteristics of religious people.

‘This is enough.’

Ingredients were sufficient.

‘Weaving them together to create a story.’

Fortunately, I am a religious person.

There was an ‘element’ that religious people had no choice but to be deceived.

Leon moved.

“It is really beautiful.”

Leon said in a faint voice, as if he were dreaming.

“What do you mean by that?”

“How can holy power be so beautiful? It was the first time I knew.”

The high priest felt something strange about Leon’s sudden words.

“Sacred power?”

“Oh, sorry. The holy power was so beautiful that I admired it without even realizing it.”

“Tell me in detail.”

The High Priestess said to Leone with a hard expression on her face.

“I was talking about that holy power floating around the patient. It’s a holy power with a form. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like that.”

Lyon pointed at the patient and said.

“Form?”

“It’s a church mark.”

“… … Is it really?”

As if feeling something strange, Leon asked the high priest.

“Isn’t that what the High Priestess made?”

“I didn’t make it.”

“yes?”

“Even I can’t see it.”

At those words, Leon widened his eyes.

“It’s so bright, can’t you see it?”

The high priest nodded.

‘Of course I can’t see it.’

I couldn’t even see it in Leon’s eyes.

A church mark made with holy power.

There was no such thing as this in the first place.

Right now, Leon was cheating.

“So don’t ask me again. Is the sacred power that appears to be the religious cult’s mark really over there?”

“Yes that’s right.”

If I say this to others, it will sound like bullshit.

For religious people, it has a different meaning.

“… … Is it a stigma?”

A sacred trace left by God.

stigma.

The high priest asked for the bait.

An irresistible lure.

If you are a religious person, you have no choice but to ask.

“What is a stigma?”

Leone asked the high priest as if he had heard of it for the first time.

“God sometimes leaves traces for us. But this is the first time.”

A stigma that can only be seen by Leon.

“Is this also God’s plan… … .”

After the bait was thrown, the high priest played a drum and a long drum and drew conclusions by himself.

This was the beginning.

“If it was God’s plan, wouldn’t there be an arrangement?”

“All right?”

“Yes. I don’t know why, but if it’s only visible to me, there must be a reason.”

“right. You will.”

Leon slowly approached the patient.

“Can I touch this?”

“Stigmata? How did you think of that?”

Not sure why. It should be rather ambiguous here.

“I do not know. I just wondered if I could tell by touching it.”

“… … .”

Leon’s idea was correct.

The high priest worried with a serious expression and then opened his mouth.

“There is no way I, a human being, can understand what God is doing. Yes, touch it.”

It’s incomprehensible and incomprehensible, but that’s why it’s reliable. Leon’s bullshit turned into God’s will.

It was the reason why I made a story with stigma.

“Then let’s touch it.”

Leon carefully reached out his hand into the air.

‘Let me shake myself off first.’

Leon trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

‘Give me a little bit of holy power.’

While shivering, the holy power was randomly released.

I waved my hand in the air.

She trembles and pours out her holy power.

He was like a complete madman, but to the high priest’s point of view, it wasn’t at all.

“This, this!”

The high priest, who was not surprised when the saint showed his talent, exclaimed in surprise.

“You touched the stigma!”

Leon’s head turned grotesquely. Oddly enough, the bizarreness convinced the high priest.

“You must live.”

“Rion?”

“You must live.”

At the end of those words, the spouting holy power disappeared and Leon’s trembling body stopped.

and.

“Did I say something?”

Leon looked at the high priest with a blank expression.

“… … .”

No answer came.

The High Priestess was on her knees praying toward Leon.

‘Your old man’s knees won’t be good either.’

A smile appeared on Leon’s face.

* * *

After the stigmata contact was over.

“Can you describe the patient?”

“okay. I will tell you what I have confirmed so far.”

The initiative has completely passed to Leon.

Besides, no matter what happened, I was able to properly gloss over it as ‘God’s will’.

It’s time to let loose.

“It seems that this child has gradually lost the will to live.”

“Yes?”

“I was also surprised when I first heard it. Everyone has the will to live, but this child doesn’t have it.”

A child who has lost the will to live.

‘Then it’s a mental problem.’

Read at noble mtl.com

Mental issues were usually one of two things.

“Have you suffered something so serious that you lose your will?”

“It is not.”

Losing motivation through a major event.

“Then is it mental system magic or curse?”

“Not even that.”

The influence of magic or curses.

However, this patient did not have either.

‘Well, that’s why he called me.’

If it was one of the two in the first place, the High Priest would have solved it alone.

‘Unless it’s magic or trauma. no way… … .’

Something popped into Leon’s mind.

However.

‘No, did anyone use this at this time? It wouldn’t have been easy to find.’

It was something I only learned about before returning.

‘I need confirmation.’

Rion put her thoughts together and asked the high priest again.

“Did the normally active and motivated child suddenly become like this?”

“He said yes. It’s strange that he’s changed so much in such a short amount of time.”

sudden change.

‘Does it seem right?’

No matter how much I thought about it, that ‘thing’ seemed right.

‘How much grudge did you buy? No, isn’t there a conspiracy rather than a grudge?’

Aside from the difficulty of obtaining it, the price of this item is beyond imagination.

It would have been cheaper to hire someone to kill them.

‘Well, that’s why an enhanced mission must have come out.’

A conspiracy to the point of hastening destruction.

Of course, this was not important to Leon. It was conspiracy and nabal, and it didn’t matter that much.

What was important was treatment.

You have to clear the reinforcement type mission.

‘I can’t wake up like this.’

This item had no antidote.

It wasn’t poison in the first place.

‘I think I can save it if I want to save it.’

Herbs used in berserk potions can raise the spirit to the limit.

‘The problem is that he’s half out of his mind.’

Things that make you lose your will to live.

An object that forcibly elevates emotions.

It was only natural that the two would go crazy when mixed.

‘It can’t be recognized as clear.’

There was no way I could clear it so carelessly.

at that time.

‘uh? Wait a minute.’

something came up

‘Is it painful to lose the will to live?’

The newly acquired skill ‘Consolation’.

The power to understand and persuade others.

I already have a solution, but I was looking elsewhere.

‘this… … do. There is a possibility.’

Choosing consolation instead of deception was the best choice.

“How… … Can you see the solution?”

solution? It seemed obvious.

Leon nodded.

“Is it really?”

“Yes. But I’m not sure. A thought comes to my mind, but it’s as if it’s not my idea.”

Leon frowned in pain.

‘nice. The acting is good.’

I started acting again.

“Don’t deny it. God will tell you the way. Believe and accept.”

“Is that okay?”

Leon’s expression looked somewhat frightened. This expression was the decisive blow.

“I will take responsibility for everything. I know what God is doing to you. If you are afraid, trust me.”

The words Leon had been waiting for came out.

‘OK. The responsibility issue is over.’

Even if it fails, it is the responsibility of the high priest, and if it succeeds, Leon’s reputation will go up even more.

It was a business that could not be lost.

In front of the rice cake of God and stigmata, the high priest was ‘Hogu’ itself.

“I see, High Priestess.”

Leon held the patient’s hand.

The patient, the child, did not respond at all. He just lay there blankly, as if he were dead.

Leon spoke to the child in a friendly way.

“You must have lost your way. Endless despair will overtake you. know. I know how desperate you must be.”

[Skill: Consolation is activated.]

Consolation activated as Leon thought.

“It’s okay though. I’ll show you the light. The light to defeat the darkness of despair. A light to pierce the darkness.”

Holy power flowed from Leon’s hand. Leon continued to talk to the unresponsive child.

Its appearance was noble and holy.

“Oh God.”

The High Priestess looked at him blankly.

* * *

The patient’s father, Clarton May.

He rubbed his temples.

I felt a deep sense of fatigue.

For the sake of her child’s treatment, she threw everything away and went to and from various denominations.

However, none of the denominations came up with a solution.

“I’ve done it by chance, but it’s just like that.”

I came to a small church just in case, but this place called the Dawning Church didn’t seem to be any different.

The High Priest was put in, but he was just stumped. I gave it time until morning, but I didn’t expect much.

“Are you outside?”

“Yes, Count.”

“Are you ready?”

If it failed anyway, I should have moved quickly.

“The move preparations are complete. But she is still in treatment, so she is in the treatment room.”

However, an answer came that I hadn’t thought of at all.

“Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

Being in treatment was something he would enjoy, but the count’s voice was filled with anger.

“These guys!”

There was no way the treatment that didn’t work would suddenly happen. It was clear that he was just doing useless things to get more gold.

“This kind of garbage is still there. I will go to the treatment room right away!”

This wasn’t even the first time.

I’ve experienced this kind of trick many times, using the hope that it might be cured to extract gold.

The Count, who was very angry, headed to the treatment room with the knights.

Priest Ruth was guarding the front of the treatment room.

“Are you here? I am still in treatment.”

Priest Ruth’s voice, which was extremely calm, stimulated the count.

“Are you really treating me? In the first place, I said I would only give it until morning.”

“I just need a little more time. I am still in treatment.”

Priest Ruth just repeated that he was being treated like a parrot.

The count’s expression hardened.

“I will take you by force.”

The Count’s knights stepped forward.

Then a voice was heard from inside.

“Let them in.”

“I see, High Priestess.”

At those words, the knights took a step back.

“Excuse me. You may come in.”

“If the treatment is false, you should be prepared.”

Despite the earl’s terrifying warning, Priest Ruth’s expression did not change.

“As I said, I am in treatment.”

It was just repeating the same words.

The Count didn’t even answer, and entered the treatment room.

By the way.

“What is this?”

The inside of the treatment room was filled with holy power, as if it were fog.

A child was seen through the fog of such holy power.

“it’s okay. follow this light You can come out of the dark.”

A calm but friendly voice.

“I am not giving up. I will guide you until you come out.”

firm conviction and determination.

“I understand you in endless despair. It’s not over there, though. We can get out of there.”

The child’s words seemed to be addressed to the count himself.

“See? this light. are you okay. It’ll turn out okay.”

The last ray of hope left for the count raised his head.

That moment.

“ah… … bar… … ?”

The Count met the light.

He witnessed a ‘miracle’.
