Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 212

Helstar quietly averted his gaze, cleared his throat, and forced himself to change the topic..
“Come to think of it, Hector Youngdo. You need to check your body too..”
“I am okay.”
There are quite a few ways to gain resistance to musical instruments, but the most efficient way is to have multiple protections..
And Hector has a lot of protection compared to not only Yeongdo but also active heroes..
Since it wasn't a direct attack, it's true that even if it was exposed to the instrument for a long time, there would be no major problems..
Helstar also nodded calmly as if he knew that fact..
Afterwards, Bishop Helsta diagnosed the cadets who had stayed in the underworld for a particularly long period of time.…….
Those who had residual musical instruments left in their bodies were directly healed by divine power..
“Wow! My body feels much lighter.”
“Don't overdo it for the time being. Eat food often to restore energy. Things like meat, mushrooms, garlic, etc..”
“yes thank you!”
“…….”
Helstar's shoulders trembled strangely every time he was greeted by a cadet, and I don't know why..
However, Hector could only look at the back with a somewhat surprised face..
I heard that the priest's divine power is practically no different from the property of the church. It means that he is a force that cannot be used as he pleases..
The church had a means to measure the sacred power remaining within a priest, and it was said that if there was a deviation from the remaining sacred power according to the number of reports received, it would be severely reprimanded..
I heard that even high-ranking clergy are no exception to this general rule..
‘no.’
Rather, it is said that because the sacred power of high-ranking priests is purer, they are subject to more detailed investigation..
‘72It is said that the religious rules are much more strict than those of the Sun Church..’
Of course, since the source of the information is the doctrine teacher Junian, you should not take his words literally.…….
Anyway, because of that, Hector had no idea that the Bishop of the 72nd Church would use his divine power so freely to restore a single student..
‘If you return to school, you will most likely be reprimanded.…….’
There's no way Bishop Helsta doesn't know that fact..
Nevertheless, this man calmly said, no. Diagnosing and treating her cadets to a degree that felt rather obsessive..
As if they couldn't allow the children who would become the future of the empire to have even a single musical instrument left..
The first time that outspoken attitude was stopped was when I met Charon Woodjack..
He was a Helsta who exercised God's miracles to his heart's content, but the moment he saw Charon lying on the bed, his expression became stiff..
“hmm…….”
“How is it?”
“That's not good. The location is particularly bad. The instrument may have spread to the brain through the optic nerve..”
“So what happens??”
“I have seen several cases where the instrument has eroded from the bridge to the brain. In general, it ends up looking ‘demon-possessed’.”
“ah…….”
Are you talking about someone who screams loudly, goes crazy all the time, and is not recognized by people around them or even their parents?.
Hector had a bitter taste in his heart..
Charon Woodjack was not a particularly likable guy, but he was a comrade who went through hell with him, and he even performed irreplaceable feats on the battlefield..
I didn't want to see him reduced to such a beast..
“…Is there no way?”
“Try as hard as you can. I put my honor on the line.”
As a health star, his name, reputation, and everything he had built so far were at stake, so he had no choice but to say that.…….
Hector, who did not know the inside story, had no choice but to draw a line at those words..
“why are you smiling?”
“I really don't think rumors can be trusted..”
“what……?”
Hector said, still smiling..
“I have been interested in various religions since I was young. She never felt like she wanted to belong there, but if she had met someone like the bishop back then, she might have thought differently..”
“…….”
However, upon hearing this, Helstar's face became slightly strange..
“why are you like that?”
“…how do you see me?”
“For me, it was an opportunity to reflect again on God's teachings, which had always been vague..”
“god's teachings…….”
“Drive out evil, help the weak, and benefit the world at large..”
At that moment, Helstar's face turned red. She Hector looked puzzled. Are you feeling shy??
Or maybe I crossed a line a little bit..
This is because the other person is of noble status. Of course, Hector's status was not at a level where he could be overlooked.…….
Because of the age difference, Hector obediently bowed his head..
“Excuse me.”
“Nope. I just…….”
“……?”
Helstar, who had been purring his lips for a while, lowered his head and sighed..
“Are you okay??”
“…I repented for a moment.”
“yes?”
“nothing. Rather, I will do my best for Charon Youngdo, so leave it to me..”
“please. I'll stop by again tomorrow when I have time..”
But Hector was unable to keep his promise..
that afternoon.
A summons order came from the imperial family..
* * *
Of course, it was Hector who received the imperial letter..
The moment Hector saw the messenger who had come to deliver the letter, he felt a little annoyed..
Without showing any signs, he knelt down on one knee and listened to the imperial family's official letter..
In summary, it was a simple story..
The young heroes who saved the island from the clutches of the evil cult are told to attend the imperial palace by tomorrow and receive the emperor's reign..
‘…After all, wasn’t everything sung?.’
There were three people mentioned in the official document..
Hector, Luan, and finally Seren..
I understand what the selection criteria are. Of course, it was not the level of performance, but the prestige of the family..
In the past, this kind of treatment would have been considered deserved, but... For some reason I felt dirty now..
That's because there are many leaders who were much more active than you..
It was the raiding party that played a decisive role..
Not only Luan and Seren, but also Mir, Charon, and Evan who accompanied us... … . They are the heroes who deserve praise..
Of course, he could not express his objection to the official official letter from the imperial family, so Hector quietly lowered his head and asked:.
“Can I say something??”
A messenger who delivered an imperial official letter is not of low status..
This means that Hector has no choice but to be polite..
“speak.”
“Luan Badniker has not yet recovered from the aftereffects of the battle. Please acknowledge his absence..”
I've already heard that Luan has come to her senses and is moving around well.…….
I didn't know when my wanderlust would meet Dojin again. In other words, this was Hector's momentary base..
Seren Goodspring's condition has improved a lot, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to attend..
Hearing this, the lion nodded as if he had expected it..
“The merciful Lord of Purgatory has already considered such a situation..”
“Those words are…….”
“I will accept proxy attendance. The selection of agents is left to Hector Badnicker..”
“…I will obey your command..”
Hector said this while holding back a sigh, his mind spinning tightly..
First of all, I'm worried about how to handle my troublesome younger brother's case, but I'm also worried about who to select as my agent..
‘Must be human and noble. Even if it's not as good as Badknicker and Goodspring, it's at least not inferior to them. Of course, it has to be Yeongdo who was swept up in the underworld.…….’
Hector still said goodbye to people he met at the academy..
After all, fame is temporary. Unless you make ridiculous achievements every moment like Iron Blood Ball, it is natural that you will soon be forgotten..
So Hector took advantage of the attention and attention focused on him at this moment. A faint connection made now may become a connection in the distant future..
Of course, as the situation was largely motivated by political reasons, mental energy consumption could not be ignored..
That was it except for one person..
He was a young heretic inquisitor belonging to the Church of the Sun, and his distinctive, languid face was familiar to my eyes..
“I heard that the atmosphere around the imperial family has been unusual recently..”
Doctrine teacher Junian said:.
This woman, who is both an inquisitor for heresy of the Church of the Sun and also the chief criminal of Badniker, was the most trustworthy of the many people she met at the academy..
First of all, it was because he was a member of the family..
“The devil almost descended in the middle of the island, so it's only natural..”
“Well, that's the cause, but the atmosphere I mentioned is a bit different..”
“yes?”
“Speaking of this imperial award ceremony, I mean that it won't be for the purpose of simply praising your achievements..”
“…What does it mean?”
“You probably know that the relationship between the imperial family and Heros is not good these days.?”
“That's right, but isn't the old relationship between the two forces keeping each other in check??”
“This is not simply a recruitment war to secure talent first. That happens often on our side too..”
Junian said with an annoyed face..
Definitely 72 Bridge and Taeyang Bridge.
I heard that the relationship between two religions that seem at first glance to be from the same branch is also complicated..
“The atmosphere has become very heated in recent years. This is because Heros' performance is unusual, and it is not an interesting situation for the imperial family, who should be the strongest among the three powers of the empire..”
“…….”
“Thanks to this, both the imperial family and Heros can no longer have enemies..”
Imperial Family and Heros.
There were many people who had enemies in both factions..
A representative example is Iron Blood Ball, whose middle name is Heros' S-class hero..
“What do you want to say??”
“Your path was towards Heros.?”
“Yes, but… how do you know?”
Of course, the ultimate goal is to receive recognition from Sanghyeolgong and become the head of the family.…….
In order to achieve the above goal, it was decided that it would be better to have Heroes as an enemy rather than the imperial family..
First of all, since I travel a lot across the continent, I naturally come into contact with religious denominations a lot. This meant that opportunities to make a mark were also frequent..
‘If you're lucky, you might be able to go on a mission with your father.…….’
This was Hector's secret wish, but.
“You already received a hero plaque at Badniker's retreat. It means that they belong to Heros, albeit in a temporary form, and thanks to that, there are rumors like this. Lord Sangvis plans to send all his children to Heros..”
“ah…….”
That's what I heard and saw.
Currently, the eldest son, Heero, and the second daughter, Nero, are the most famous among Iron Blood Lord's children.…….
Currently, both of them are currently affiliated with Heros..
And as it happens, Hector and Luan, who played a major role in this incident, also received hero plaques, albeit temporarily..
“In that case, the intention of the imperial family to personally invite and praise the meritorious.”
“I guess I'm thinking of getting spit on it. The imperial family will treat you only as children of noble nobles, not as heroes of Heros. And they will secretly tease you about your career path and persuade you to come to the imperial family..”
“What happens if I refuse??”
“… Power is concentrated in the current imperial family. This means it wouldn't be strange if there were more monsters like the Seven-Colored Archmage or Middle Name..”
“Does this mean that they will threaten you with force? The imperial family, to me, Badniker's son,?”
Junian smiled his signature cynical smile..
“Imperial family. It may seem that courtesy and law are important, but in reality, this is not the case. In my view, it is a group focused on maintaining powerful power. To be honest, if you weren't a badnik, I would have stopped you from going to the imperial court..”
“…….”
“Of course, as you said, I won't use my hand first. I'm probably going to provoke you. So don't respond. Whatever they say, listen with one ear and let it out..”
“All right.”
Hector nodded and then thanked Junian..
Then, accompanied by Seren and the person who came to mind as his agent, he headed to the imperial castle..
Imperial castle where you first set foot.
Before I can even admire its overwhelming majesty,…….
“Is Badknicker a genius? I heard that you are quite skilled in swordsmanship, so I will teach you a lesson. draw your sword.”
“Thank you, but I will decline..”
“Why? This would be an opportunity to broaden your horizons, having only focused on Badniker's poor swordsmanship..”
“…….”
What did this guy just say??
