Zenith (5)
;on the way back to the mansion.
;Jamie looked at Lars, who still had a serious expression on his face. ; After seeing the full-armed paladin, he didn''t say a word.
; There is something.
;The alien divine power she felt toward her paladin was known by Jamie as well.
; I heard from Ricky earlier.
;"Well? ; oh yeah ; What did you talk about?
; I had a friend at the same orphanage, and he said he was taken by Janice God.
;"Five. ; It s rare.
;In fact, there were often cases where they were chosen by the god they worshiped.
;It wasn''t surprising that Lars was also chosen and became a paladin.
; So yesterday you went to the church headquarters.
;"right. ; If she is chosen by the god she worships, she has to go to the place closest to the god.
; He also said he wanted to become a priest after becoming a chosen person.
;"haha. ; I wish it were like that. ; Ricky is a good boy.
;Jamie glanced into his eyes.
;She didn''t get the reaction she wanted. ; Is this enough?
;Jamie pondered for a bit, and then she opened her mouth as she recalled an interesting story.
; Two months ago.
;"Huh."
;Lars'' complexion darkened.
; I don t think so. ; Isn''t it?"
; ; ; Zenith.
;The Pyros were once quite close to the Zenith.
;So, she was somewhat aware of Zenith''s tendencies.
; I forgot.
;Jamie is right.
;Zenith did little for his others.
;The same goes for orphanages.
; They can t look after orphans.
;She should have felt uncomfortable there.
;Of course, that doesn''t mean they never help others. ; But the Zenith Church in Highs was definitely overkill.
;Then she saw Jamie.
;''It''s as if I was guiding a conversation in the hope that I would realize... ; ; .''
;"why?"
;At Lars'' gaze, Jamie tilted her head.
;''no way.''
;I know Jamie is such a great kid that I can hear him being a genius. ; But she was still a child. ; It''s just a coincidence.
; You don t even know the purpose in the first place.
;''She couldn''t have had that much insight.''
;She is now 7 years old.
;Lars shook his head to get rid of his distractions.
;Whatever it was, it''s true that Jamie''s words helped a lot.
;He smiled and patted her Jamie''s head.
;"Thank you."
;"What?"
; Just everything. ; great. ; Her older brother will give you a ride!
; Your brother is right ; ; Whoa!
;I was about to ask if it was my brother, but Lars flashed it all over his shoulder and put it on his shoulder.
;Then she started running towards her mansion at her full speed.
; Hey, stop!
;Only Jamie''s mournful scream echoed through the empty street.
;* * *
;After the meal, the Count and Lars had a separate meeting.
;Lars briefly reported what had happened today.
; Did Jamie say that?
;When he told Jamie what he had heard on the way back to the mansion, the Earl was quite surprised.
; I think it might be a coincidence.
; ; ; yes.
;The Earl of Wellton knew Jamie was a genius, but she didn''t know the circumstances and thought it would be difficult for her to have such insight.
;On the one hand, she thought that if it were Jamie, she could only pursue her heterogeneity and arrive at her results.
;She was too overrated for a 7-year-old boy, but it''s hard to say no, considering what she''s shown so far.
;But she didn''t matter, so she got back to the point.
; Rival and Janice Kyorah.
; It s said that a kid named Ricky in an orphanage used to live in Rival.
; Certainly very suspicious. ; I thought that Zenith s actions this time were just social activities for the sake of propagation.
;Even the Count knew a little about Zenith''s ideas.
;However, the situation is always changing, and it has a positive effect on the territory, so I was just watching.
; If what you say is true, that s a different story.
;It cannot be overlooked if it is the Zenith Church, which is rooted in Highs, who demanded children from Rival.
;But he had only a heart attack, no physical evidence.
;No matter how famous the Earl of Wellton was, Zenith was a religion that exerted influence beyond the realm of the world.
; I need a reason.
; It would be, too.
;Lars was also a knight before a priest, so he knew how important a cause was.
;Lars thought for a moment, and then he said to the Count.
; I will find the evidence.
; You can be dangerous on your own.
; Before leaving the church, I saw a paladin with the bishop.
; What do you mean?
;When it comes to bishops, paladins are attached as escorts. ; There was nothing strange at all.
;But Lars'' eyes were serious.
; I didn t know.
; What do you mean?
; I didn t know if he was a Zenith paladin.
;The Count frowned.
;If the Paladin with the Bishop of the Zenith Church is not affiliated with the Zenith Church, where does it belong?
;Before that, Lars said he didn''t know. ; Even though a paladin of that size would have enough ability to distinguish the level of divinity of other religions.
;"no way."
; I m not sure, but I think it s a chimera .
; Does that mean the chimera creators have already started experimenting?
; Perhaps.
;The Count rubbed his forehead.
; What about strength?
; ; ; I think I have a little bit of an edge.
; I ll give you three.
;As soon as the Count finished speaking, three black shadows fell from the ceiling.
;Lars looked back in amazement.
;The three swordsmen, whose bodies were wrapped in black cloth, stood behind Lars.
; I didn t even feel a footstep!
;It was clear that the assassins had reached considerable heights.
;But they had long swords tied to their waists. ; As an assassin, he preferred a small weapon because he had to kill the target secretly.
;The long sword was the worst weapon an assassin could use.
; They are the shadow knights who have existed to protect the Weltons since ancient times. ; My basic skills are at the level of an expert, so it will be of great help.
;"article ; ; is that correct?
;"what. ; for now."
;The Count replied with a smile.
;He knew that the Welton family was one of the top swordsmanship masters on all continents.
;Even so, I never thought that I would have an assassin with the power of an expert-class knight.
; I will definitely uncover the truth of them.
; Live a sinless life.
;Perhaps the Count did not know how to greet the Pyro Church, Lars'' eyes widened.
;Then he smiled and drew his name.
; Not harsh mercy.
;* * *
; A benevolence that is not harsh is a bitch.
;Jamie sneered into her air as she pulled her finger out of her right ear.
; A chimera maker.
;He had just been eavesdropping on the Count''s office.
;He wondered if the Count would find out, so with Black''s help, he installed the eavesdropping magic as covertly as possible.
; Is it bigger than you think?
;worrisome tone.
;But Jamie was smiling.
;Then yes. ; She was also not wrong in her own opinion.
;Janice The bastard was still a bastard.
; A chimera experiment with younger children. ; Pretty disgusting.
;On the one hand, she seemed to understand why she was targeting children.
;He said he was the creator of the Chimera, a divinity covetous.
;children are pure ; Everything was clear because of the lack of experience. ; That is why it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil.
;So it was perfect for filling things in.
; It would be perfect for human experiments.
;I don''t know how to infuse the divine power, but it will probably transform the body into an optimal form.
;I don''t know, but a considerable chimera will be born.
; As Lars said, if the paladin was a chimera ; ; .''
;Their experiments could be seen to have reached a fairly high realm. ; But it won''t be complete.
;Chimera is not an area of expertise, but there was a part that had something in common with black magic.
;''Unstable divine power.''
;He was so heterogeneous that even he himself noticed.
;So he was perfectly caught by Lars.
;It was highly likely that the goal of the Zenith Church was to create a complete chimera paladin that could not be distinguished from the deity of Zenith.
;"black."
;giggling-
;Black, who was sitting on the bed, was called by the owner.
;Jamie tied one of her letters to Black''s leg.
; Go to Liza.
;Queek!
;Black said yes, spread his wings and flew out.
;Jamie watched Black walk away, closed her window and sat down.
;''I must prepare enough.''
;The feeling came.
;The end was not far off.
;There will be a great fight.
;I don''t know how big it is, but you should at least always be ready to cast a spell.
; Memorize.
;Jamie''s eyes turned purple.
;The mana flowing through her body began to fluctuate.
;* * *
;Azad yawned loosely.
;She lost sleep as she became an undead, but when she was bored, she often came out to see if the phenomenon such as yawning remained a habit.
; How long do I have to be like this?
; Until they start acting weird.
;Liza, who was next to him, silently watched her denomination and answered.
;An hour ago, I received a letter from their owner, Jamie.
;The content of the letter was simple.
;If any suspicious movement is detected in the church, it should be reported immediately.
;In addition, if you see a full-armed knight, he also told you to keep an eye on it.
; We just do what we tell them to do.
; I m bored, I m bored.
;Azad grumbled, but he also looked at the church again because the master''s orders were absolute.
;They were undead, and even if they did not move in one place, they did not receive a feeling of wretchedness.
;Another few hours passed quickly.
;Although there were people going around the church, there were no suspicious circumstances or the appearance of a paladin.
;Azad groaned in a boring tone, stretching, which he did not need to do.
; Well, nothing ; ; .
;"damage!"
;At that moment, Ryza pushed Azad aside with her foot.
;Seo Eok-
;A creepy chirping sound.
;A solid line was drawn on the stone floor where they were sitting.
;The two jumped up and saw the opponent who had stabbed them.
;Azad''s eyes widened.
; Tongue, brother. ; that ; ; !
; Looks right.
;A knight, fully armed with white armor and a helmet, stood with his sword in both hands.
; Did we sneak up behind us to the point where we didn t even feel it?
; ; ; .
;As they became undead, all of their physical abilities were a few steps higher than before.
;Still, he did not know the existence of the paladin until he was attacked.
;If it wasn''t for Liza, who was still in tension, Azad would have died instantly.
;Because divinity was the most vicious force for the undead.
;"porridge ; ; inda.
;The paladin fixed the sword and held it.
;Through the face guards, a dazzling eye light flowed out.
;"brother."
; I will stop. ; Tell the master immediately!
; Come on, brother! ; I will stop... ; ; Aww!
;As Azad said, the paladin drew his sword.
;It was incredibly fast and destructive.
;If he had been a human, he would have been cut off in an instant.
;Liza kicked his tongue and ran towards the paladin.
;The paladin swung his sword without looking back. ; The tip of the sword barely passed his neck.
; It s too much for us!
;Lisa made a decision.
;He passed the paladin with all his might.
;The sword followed closely, but it was Liza who knew the terrain well.
;He grabbed the pipe in the ceiling and jumped up.
;The paladin smashed the ground. ; Like a blade splitting, it drew afterimages and radiated divine power.
;"go!"
;Liza lands next to Azad and pushes him out the side window.
;"brother!"
; Go and see the master ; ; !
;Shak-!!
;A pure white sword enveloped Liza.
; Killed ; ; all."
;Thinking he had killed one, the paladin immediately jumped out of the window.
; Where!
;Through the sword, Liza jumped out.
;His left arm and side were severed, but his right arm and two legs were still left.
;He gripped the paladin''s ankle tightly.
;This time, he swings his sword without looking. ; The slash of his divine power raged horribly.
;His eyes turned white.
;Die this time-
; I didn t know that they would find my dolls and attack the station.
;The darkness swallowed the light.
;The light resisted fiercely,
;"noisy."
;Jiying-!!
;The black cog wheel began to spin.
;[Dark Dimension]
; I ll dig you out here.
;Jamie, who wrapped her body in black, smiled, revealing her teeth.
;The world was filled with darkness.
