chapter 8
008. When a hukou disappears, a new hugu comes.
[Priest’s Persuasion: Persuasion contains the weak power of holy power.]
Holy power was just added to persuasion, but the synergy between the two was beyond imagination.
At the same time as persuasion, Leon’s holy power permeated the other person’s body.
So far it was as expected.
‘great. Everything according to plan… … Wait a minute! What is this?!’
The problem was then.
It was ‘connected’ through the persuasive target and the holy power that Leone permeated.
Starting with this connection, a completely different situation unfolded.
[Connected to the target of persuasion.]
A system message officially acknowledged the connection with the other party.
[Skill: Consolation is activated.]
[Consolation is maximized through connection.]
[Consolation goes beyond the stage of sympathy and sympathy and changes to a fairy tale.]
Skills have been strengthened through connection.
‘Could this make the skill effect stronger?’
It was a huge deal.
It wasn’t just that the holy power was added, but they were synergistically reinforcing each other.
[I assimilated into the pain of the other person.]
‘Wait a minute, pain is assimilated?!’
The pain is assimilated. At first glance, it was an ominous message.
Leon’s thoughts were correct.
‘this… … What… … hey… … .’
An overwhelming feeling of despair ran over Leon’s body. Emotions surged like waves and hit my body.
It was not a figurative expression.

My body was really shaking.
‘mi… … friend… … .’
The world lost its color and was stained with achromatic colors. The great despair took away even the color of the world.
overwhelming despair.
The pain the child was feeling was conveyed as it was.
It was a really dangerous situation, but it wasn’t a danger in Leon’s eyes.
This was an ‘opportunity’.
‘dog… … honey?’
It seems that only Leon is affected by the assimilation of emotions, but the assimilation does not work one-sidedly.

Mutually influence each other.
Then, what Leon had to do was simple. I had to fill this feeling with other feelings.
You don’t have to convince that kid.
You just have to convince yourself.
Leon has an ‘optimal’ skill that can be used in this situation.
[Skill: Activates self-suggestion.]
trigger self-suggestion.
[Trait: Priest’s persuasion is activated.]
I activated the priest’s persuasion.
Now that you’ve tasted the synergy of divine power and persuasion, it’s time to try it yourself.
I forcibly opened my mouth, which was oppressed by despair, and screamed like a seizure.
“Lion, the god of dawn shines! The darkness of your body is gone, and only faith and light remain!”
convince yourself
‘Ah, the light falls! The darkness is gone! Oh, it works! do! Your faith is growing! God of Dawn is the best!’
convinced myself
[The self-suggestion has been successful.]
[The persuasion target is convinced.]
[The persuasion target agrees.]
[The subject has been persuaded.]
Along with the notification window he had been waiting for, divine energy flowed into Leon’s body.
‘ah… … .’
The look was fantastic.
‘light.’
A light shone in the colorless world.
‘They said it was a miracle… … .’
It was as if he knew why the Count described it as a miracle.
The light came down and returned the color of the achromatic world. I regained the freedom and hope that had been taken away from despair.
The world is beautiful, thank you.
It was like a ‘miracle’.
‘The real priest is the best.’
Leon couldn’t help but admire the job of being a priest again.
‘To the extent that I feel like a miracle. Aren’t you fooled by this?’
His tone was grumbling, but a deep smile appeared on Leon’s face.
Choosing a priest was the best choice.
‘great. I got a sense of how to use the priest’s persuasion.’
I also got a feel for how to use it, and also confirmed how useful the priest’s persuasion is.
‘If you do this well… … ‘
Besides, I thought of a way to use this situation appropriately.
‘Because there’s still a lot of experimentation left. No problem.’
Not all despair was gone yet.
Treatment is basic, and there was plenty of time to aim for more.
[Skill: Activates self-suggestion.]
[Trait: Priest’s persuasion is activated.]
After activating the skill and ability once again, I persuaded him a little differently this time.
‘I believe in myself! Me more than anyone! right?’
This time, he self-suggested that he believed in himself, not the god of dawn.
If you continue to self-suggest that you believe in yourself in a state of assimilation.
Will the patient believe in ‘himself’ or ‘leon’?
‘It’s possible that the trust that didn’t exist could suddenly arise.’
Whatever the outcome, Leon had nothing to lose.
A second treatment was started.

In the past few days, the Church of Dawn has been changing rapidly.
“These are things for the lady to use! Move carefully!”
“Yes!”
Read at noble mtl.com
Most of the old items inside the temple have been replaced.
“hey! Mr. Kin! Aren’t you moving quickly?!”
“Oh, move!”
“We finish the dormitory renovation work quickly!”
“Yes!”
Several buildings in the church were repaired and remodeled.
This change of religious order attracted the attention of the villagers.
“Look, what is this fuss about?”
Residents asked the workers at the top what had happened.
“It is said that the Church of Dawn has cured patients that other large churches have not been able to cure.”
“her. Is that true?”
“That’s right. These are all things to say thank you for. Are you really that good at healing?”
“haha. The Church of Dawn has been treating most of them for free since before.”
“No, there is still such a denomination?!”
“Yes. We got it for free, so we had no idea how great it was.”
“Awesome. A church with integrity and good ability… … .”
“haha. That is the Cult of the Dawn!”
It was only natural that the reputation of the residents rose, and the ‘Church of Dawn’ was imprinted in the minds of outsiders as well.
The person who made this mess was having a happy time.
“Dad, are you going?”
“Dad, don’t you want to go?”
“yes. no. yes.”
Seira Mei, who was as good as a corpse.
The child was fully recovered.
The Count had already witnessed miracles twice after coming to this church.
When I saw the first miracle.
The count saw hope that his daughter might recover.
And when I saw the second miracle.
The count witnessed the ‘miracle’ itself of his daughter’s recovery.
Having witnessed miracles twice, he became an ardent follower of the Church of Dawn.
Huge support was poured into the church, and the result is what it is now.
“My daughter, are you thinking of sending me away?”
“Ugh.”
He was such a lovely child.
I’d like to take him with me, but that’s just not possible.
‘If you touched my child, you will have to pay the price too.’
In front of the child, she was just an idiot, but her real appearance was completely different.
“Dad will come often so I don’t worry about my daughter. Will you be okay alone?”
“Rion, no. It’s okay because Leon-senpai is there!”
It would have been a big deal if another man’s name came out of her daughter’s mouth.
Leon was fine.
A child chosen by God.
I could trust him
“okay. Priest Leon is a really nice person. Trust and rely on it.”
“Uh! Dad! Trust me!”
The two fathers and daughters were completely obsessed with Leone.
“Don’t cry when Daddy goes.”
“Ugh. I can’t promise you.”
Father and daughter spent this time happily.

private treatment room.
Strangely, everyone’s expressions were dark, not in line with the joyful atmosphere of the church.
“What about Leon?”
“yet.”
Philip and Ed were looking worried.
“Why the hell are you not waking up!”
Charles looked angry.
“Charles, Charles. do not do that.”
“Get up quickly! I have to get up and roll again while ignoring the senior!”
“Quiet.”
Philip, Charles, and Ed started bickering.
To them, Leon was a benefactor.
It was a hard training, but it made me grow, and it gave me a realization in the end.
Ed gained the divine power he so longed for, and others were able to take a step forward.
I wasn’t worried at first.
I knew that Leon would wake up the next day.
However, it didn’t happen even after a few days. It was just sleeping.
“Get up quickly! I’ll do anything! It’s okay if it’s harder!”
“… … .”
“… … Quiet.”
The children’s eyes turned red.
at that time.
“I don’t sleep. I heard… … .”
“uh?”
“Rion?!”
“it’s okay?”
Leon opened his eyes.
“Charles, why are you talking rudely? Was the basket worn?”
“Oh, no. no!”
“I’ll roll it as hard as you want. I’ve just devised a new method.”
“no! Help me!”
Charles’ expression hardened as if he had never been worried.
Leon jumped up.
“Lee, Leon, are you okay?”
“You can’t get up.”
Philip and Ed were surprised and stopped Leone.
“why? I’m fine More than that, you guys aren’t going to practice, why are you here?”
Leon moved his body as if nothing was wrong.
“It’s been several days already.”
“… … What?”
Leon looked at Philip as if he had seen a ghost.
“Rion, you collapsed and moved here.”
I got a sense of what was going on.
‘I think it’s because I overused my abilities.’
It seemed like a problem to use it too much to test the newly acquired ability.
“great. Okay.”
“Yes?”
I got a rough idea of the situation.
That’s not what’s important.
“Is there anything special going on in the church?”
“ah! I have. These days, I’m repairing buildings and replacing things.”
“ah. I couldn’t get into this.”
“uh?”
“no. other than that?”
Hogu No. 2 seemed to be moving well.
“I heard that a new child is coming in as a volunteer priest?”
This was also news that Leon knew.
“Is there anything else?”
“ah. One of the priests has been visiting since yesterday.”
“Priest? Are you talking about Priest Ruth?”
“no. He said he was also a service priest.”
A service priest worthy of coming to him.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out who it was.
“Charles, don’t you know?”
“Well. I’m sure he’s a high priest, but I don’t know exactly what he’s doing.”
A senior priest among service priests.
The moment I heard that, I had a rough sense of who had come.
“Why is that priest looking for me? I have nothing to do with it.”
“Did you say it was a lump?”
“A stomach lump?”
A smile appeared on Leon’s face.
In this way, I was able to make another strong back belly.
“When are you coming?”
“You stopped by earlier… … .”
at that time.
Sigh.
The door opens.
“Did our stomachs wake up?”
“ah. I just woke up.”
In the Church of Dawn, he was a priest of a type he had never seen before.
A generous body and a benevolent face.
“This child… … .”
He looked at Leon with a face full of emotion.
“Greetings. I am Leon of the Preliminary Volunteer Priests.”
“Gosh. You don’t have to say unnecessary greetings.”
He approached Leon with the face that he could do anything.
“I am a Runda priest belonging to the Volunteer Priesthood.”
Hearing his name made his identity clear.
A person who made it possible for the Church of Dawn to endure without being destroyed.
A man with weak holy power, but with enormous authority in the Church.
The head of the church’s finance department.
The church’s vault keeper.
“I heard a lot from the high priest that he is the great pillar that sustains the church. Greetings from a distant junior.”
Leon’s greeting was polite.
“haha. You don’t have to say hello to me like that in the future. As for our fortune, we can do whatever we want!”
“Yes?”
“I saw the offering, Leon. We, Rion, do whatever we want to do!”
Hogu No. 3 entered.
