I’m not going to die

12 – The Church

“…I think I’m going to die.”

“Not long.”

If Bessia, who hadn’t said that she would die even with the torture magic, had come to the point of saying this, wouldn’t that mean she was really on the verge of dying?

The good news is that the way back is close.

The location of the Dark Magic Tower where Ambrosia was located was very close to the capital.

No matter how protective the royal family is, the moment they are discovered, the church will go into a seizure, which is a great gut.

Thanks to this, I was able to return to the capital sufficiently even on foot.

About half a day.

Since the condition is a condition, the speed is not developed at all, so it will take longer, but it is okay because it is a familiar road.

I plan to hand over Bessia to the church in the capital and return to the territory.

Considering the distance between Yeongji and the capital, it would take two full months, but there is a way to return in a day or two.

A teleport magic circle in the capital.

Of course, it’s only for high-ranking officials, nobles, and royalty that can’t be used by anyone, but that’s what you can do by raiding and forcibly using it.

Damn dag dag dag-

After walking for a while, I heard the sound of horses hooves tapping the floor.

Bethia stopped walking and felt the danger and was alert, but I wasn’t worried.

Because I feel the holy power somewhere.

Bessia, a priest, was also sensitive to holy power, so she also relaxed.

Paladins in full armor stood out, and so did they.

“There are people over there!”

Perhaps they both looked like beggars, so they didn’t immediately recognize Besiah, but Bessia couldn’t move with her eyes wide open, perhaps because she was so moved to meet the people of the church here.

their essence is the same.

Same Priest, Paladin, Cleric.

The paladin, who was watching from a few steps behind, recognized the holy power inherent in her body.

“Perhaps… . Priest Bessia?”

“…Me, that’s right.”

One word from her opened the door.

One paladin shouted in a furious voice.

That was the beginning.

“I found Priest Besiah!”

“I found the priest!”

“Are you okay?”

All the Paladins who had come running on horseback were delighted and cheered that they had found Bessia.

Bessia also speaks in a trembling voice.

“It’s all noisy, give me some water… .”

At these words, a paladin hurriedly brought out a water bottle.

When she drank from one of the water bottles and lowered her head, she saw a middle-aged man standing in front of her, and her hands holding the water bottle gave way.

“…Bishop.”

“Bescia.”

He smiles benevolently.

At the same time, he hugged her tightly with a face full of bliss.

“thank god. You are back.”

“Bishop Revega… .”

Bethia opened her lips and tried to say something.

But even the bishop doesn’t seem to be able to hear it.

“yes? What did you say?”

“I feel like I’m really going to fall behind… .”

“Priest!”

“Bescia!”

Choo Woo-wook-

Then she fell over and passed out.

It’s been a long time since I reached the limit in the first place.

She clenched her teeth and endured, and it was only natural for her to pass out the moment church came.

If there’s just a problem, I’m caught between dozens of paladins and priests?

It is a bit harsh environment as a body that was the main enemy of mankind in the past.

The paladin took out his sword.

seureung-

“Who are you?”

“Please be precise.”

There was a scare from these paladins.

You speak politely, but you cut a knife in front of me.

really want to die

If you are a church member, you will give unlimited trust, and see that there is no blood or tears for outsiders.

While I was thinking about how to explain it, fortunately Bessia gave me something to do.

“Because that’s my benefactor, if you touch it, you’ll get lost, really… .”

I really fainted at the end.

The Paladins looked bewildered and withdrew their swords, and I approached the bishop.

I wonder why I don’t know the author’s face.

A bishop holding office in the capital.

The actual power and the future will be huge, so why don’t you know?

“Are you the one who saved Besiah?”

“That’s right.”

“In that case, I would like to thank you very much. God bless you.”

The Bishop put his hands together to express his sincere gratitude.

I risked my life to save it.

It’s the process, Bethia will explain it on her own.

I’ll have to get what I can get from the bishop.

“Could I talk to you alone?”

“…There is a wagon I brought. We do it there.”

The bishop agreed without question.

The other priests were treating Bessia diligently, and the two of them entered the carriage alone.

Of course, the energy of the paladin escorting him from the outside was going to weigh me down, but it meant nothing to me, who overcame the warrior’s pressure.

“Again, thank you for saving him. As much as that, I will do my best to listen to what you want.”

The bishop’s deep eyes turn to me.

The bishop seems to value Beshia very much.

I wasn’t looking for this relationship, but it’s a situation that benefits me anyway.

The bishop showed that he was prepared to pay the price, even if I used his full power to do whatever I wanted.

“There will be admission to the academy soon.”

“It is. It is the time when a year has passed and the cold winter is coming to an end.”

“You vouch for me there.”

“I’m not sure what that means.”

The question is whether it will be just one warranty.

As a bishop, he could put any student in the academy if he wanted to.

Without any tests, wherever you want.

But my goal was elsewhere.

Classes that even the highest performing students cannot easily get into.

Academy Class 1.

A place where only royalty, high-ranking nobles, warriors, and students with guaranteed identities can enter.

Since Choi’s main characters are gathered, it is a place that is difficult for me to enter, as I am only a baron and use even Magi.

At least, if it was a commoner who had nothing, he would be put in as a caterer, but an ambiguous aristocrat was at a disadvantage in entering class 1.

Because that position has already been occupied by high-ranking nobles.

The biggest thing here is Maggie.

Since he didn’t contain demonic energy in his body, even if he didn’t look suspicious on the outside, he could have been caught in the process of filtering out warlocks and demons.

Obviously Bessia felt strange too.

If you do this, you will not be able to enter the academy, let alone class 1.

But what if the bishop’s guarantee?

This worry was unnecessary.

You wouldn’t think that the bishop would have vouched for the warlock.

With overwhelming grades and the bishop’s guarantee, he could enter the first class.

“I will ask you one thing. Are you asking me a trivial favor to gain my favor, or is it a request of great significance?”

There was no need to lie.

As a bishop, he had to take the risk of vouching for the warlock.

Anyway, the bishop will figure out his own circumstances through Bessia.

“It means a lot.”

“…I do as you say. So what is your name?”

“Argal Britain.”

The bishop nodded as if he remembered.

Then he looked at my condition and said:

“I didn’t know Beshia’s condition was so serious, but you’re not normal either. Rest in peace here.”

Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

I’m getting tired, and besides, the Holy Knights seem to be returning to the capital.

Borrowing the power of the church, what a great advantage it is to be able to enter the capital comfortably.

As soon as I lay down on the bed placed inside the carriage, I fell asleep as if I had passed out, as if my tired body had reacted.

**

What woke up again was not inside the carriage, but inside the church room.

How long has it been?

In the process, I washed my body and changed my clothes, so my body was dry.

Even in the middle of washing your body in the world, you can’t wake up.

“It’s a bit strange.”

It’s obviously immortal, but I wondered if I had slept this well.

I don’t know, but once I’m awake, I need to move.

Warlock inside the church.

It’s a strange thing to even go into the deepest quarters.

If it were me in the past, I would worry about where to start burning, but there was no reason to do that now.

I was thinking of going outside like that, but… .

“Uh huh, where is the patient crawling out? Won’t you come back soon?”

I was blocked by the priest watching over me and locked in the room again.

…What?

“My clothes look like a patient’s uniform.”

am i sick?

Was my condition that bad?

To be honest, there is not much of a difference.

What does it mean when a person who does not die should distinguish the state?

“I don’t know.”

I went all the way to the capital, and my plan is to use the teleportation magic circle to return to my family.

Apparently, I had an appointment with Caron.

But what does it mean if you can’t get out of church?

Besides, I didn’t even have a dagger in my hands.

I’ll have to get this back too.

“excuse me.”

As I opened the door and started talking, a priest from across the street approached me very kindly.

“What help do you need? Can I get you some delicious mieum? Can I heal you? Or would you like to get me a book?”

…Are you the priest who showed me the final version of the unkindness that I threw back into the room while asking where I was crawling out earlier?

It’s all over, and I’ve taken the main point.

“I’m not very sick.”

“Okay, that’s it.”

Suddenly the priest changed his attitude and held out his hand.

“Give me your hand.”

“Yes?”

“Give it to me.”

When I held out my hand, she poured holy power into my hand.

“Full body muscle, half a catfish, to be honest, even standing is weird.”

And put a hand over my heart.

Perhaps it was more serious here, the priest frowned properly.

“Vitality, almost crawling to the floor, if you overdo it, you might have a heart attack.”

“I-that’s… .”

“So you’re not a patient? Do you want to go back?”

If there are a few things that are a little unfair.

There were so many things I had to do to move my body right after I died and was resurrected, so there was a skill to move even when my muscles were smashed.

And will the depleted vitality be restored immediately after being resurrected?

It is natural that there will be some aftereffects.

Of course, it would be a walking corpse in the priest’s eyes.

…Now that I’m talking like this, I feel like I’m being hit by a patient.

“Now, stay calm. I’ll bring you a good book to read, so if you’re bored, read it.”

Trapped in the room with such forceful execution, I felt a strange sense of helplessness.

There was no dagger, and there was no physical way to break through that priest.

Smashed muscles can at least move, but can’t create power that wasn’t there.

“I need an alternative.”

Without a real dagger, he becomes too incompetent.

He sighs deeply and lies on the bed.

In the meantime, there are guests who have come.

“Bescia is looking for you.”

The bishop came to see me.

He looks a bit older, but he seems to have found some peace.

The priest looked at me disapprovingly at the way I went outside as a patient, but the bishop seemed to be unable to do anything about it.

As I walked down the hallway following the bishop, I came across a place with a slightly different atmosphere.

Upon entering the room, he sees Bessia lying on the bed.

I didn’t know when to escape from the Dark Magic Tower with her, but her cleanly washed appearance was properly revealed.

Now it’s so dry that even that looks less.

If the flesh comes back up, it will be a look that no one will praise for being pretty.

The Bishop looked at Bescia and nodded at me.

Notice to go to Bessia.

Let’s approach her without thinking.

“Reach out your hand.”

she said so

Grabbing my hand and letting go of her holy power, she murmured quietly.

“…Sorry.”

“what.”

It was out of the blue.

What are you apologizing for?

“…You’ve almost reached the end of your lifespan. Even if it was revived, with this level of vitality… . You don’t live long.”

The vitality that has been resurrected and crawls on the floor.

Are you delusional about this?

come back soon anyway

said he didn’t care.

“I do not care.”

“…it doesn’t matter! Because of me, almost all of my life was replaced… !”

It looks like he’s disappointed with the poor results.

It seemed like I knew what I was missing.

I just died and came back to life.

By a surprising coincidence, she was pouring her holy power.

If so, it was a misunderstanding worthy of being a priest.

I thought she resurrected me.

They were resurrected, but they felt guilty after seeing the lifespan that did not return.

“Not because of you, but because of you, I came back to life.”

Bessia’s eyes twitched.

Also.

You’re under the illusion that you saved me with your power.

If so, think so.

“Thank you enough for that.”

Thank you sincerely, not empty words.

He hid the fact that he would rise from the dead.

The fact that the undead had to hide the most was that they would not die.

It covered the most important weakness.

Would that have comforted you?

Or, I don’t know if I’ve come back with more sorrow.

Bethia sobbed on the spot.
