Episode 21

7. Vote for your temple

One.

The next morning.

“Hmmmm.”

I sat on the sofa in the living room and played with a necklace that had strong divine power.

The relic that Leo brought with him when he came to Earth, the token of Limen>.

It is a necklace with an impressive light green gem, and was one of the representative relics kept by the Remen Church, which was personally blessed by Remen.

It was originally a holy relic stored in the basement of the Vatican, but was unexpectedly brought to Earth.

There was no way Leo had trespassed and stolen the relic, and Leo also said that he had received a revelation from Limen.

Although Limen said he did not tell me the reason, I was able to realize what Limen intended as soon as I received the necklace from Leo.

[Information on Main Quest Expansion of Church Relations> has been updated.] [Expansion of Church Relations – Temple]

Type: Main

Description: You acquired a relic containing the power of your god through a missionary from Eden. So a new goal is set for you.

Pope. Build a temple for those who willingly become followers of the cult. The temple will become a precious home of faith where believers can develop their faith together.

Completion conditions: Build a temple.

Reward: 1. Attribute Baptism > Level +1

2. Divinity Points (DP) 500 points

This is a development that was roughly expected.

This is because a temple was a very essential element for a religious order to establish itself.

A place where you can offer prayers to God.

A meeting place where you can learn doctrine and actively communicate with other believers.

The role of temples is also a very essential role in religion, and this is not much different in the established religions of the Earth.

Christian churches, Buddhist temples, Islamic temples, etc.

It can be said that in Eden, the temple performed the roles played by those facilities.

So in the end, this main quest> really meant that the Remen Church was progressing in the direction of establishing themselves on Earth.

That was when I was lost in thought while fiddling with the necklace for a while.

“His Holiness the Pope. “Could you please raise your feet for a moment?”

“Uh, okay.”

"thank you."

“… … wait for a sec. “Something is a little strange.”

I was awakened from my thoughts by Leo's words and looked straight in front of me.

Leo, wearing Hawaiian shorts and a white short-sleeved T-shirt, was cleaning the living room with a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning isn't such a strange thing. Originally, Leo had a neat personality, so there was nothing strange about it.

However, I feel a strange sense of heterogeneity in this situation.

“Where did you learn how to use a vacuum cleaner?”

This was because Leo, who had arrived on Earth less than a day ago, was skillfully using a vacuum cleaner.

It was clearly Leo who had expressed astonishment at the newspaper article about elevators until yesterday.

So I thought it would take a while to get used to the Earth, but when I opened the lid, it wasn't the case at all.

“Siyeon informed me before going to school. And he handed me this little booklet.”

Leo said that and took out a vacuum cleaner manual booklet from his pocket.

Then he said, still with a blunt expression.

“Since I am serving the Holy Father in person, it is my responsibility to keep the place clean. “I hope you don’t mind.”

“Did you fold the laundry too?”

I gestured to the neatly folded clothes and towels on the sofa, and Leo nodded and answered.

"That's right. I asked Inwook and he kindly taught me. In addition, I was able to learn how to use machines such as washing machines and dryers.”

Although he has visuals that could kill a bear, if you get to know him, he is a man who is sincere when it comes to housework.

In addition, it is equipped with a combat function that can easily throw an S-class hunter to the ground, so what a perfect butler it is.

Originally, I was planning to let Leo live independently at home as soon as I could afford it, but I changed my mind.

“It’s Leo.”

“Yes, His Holiness the Pope.”

“You are my reliable right hand man, both in Eden and here. got it?"

“I will do my best to help you with your ministry.”

I mostly do laundry and cleaning with my right arm.

I nodded with satisfaction at Leo's answer, then got up from the sofa.

And he said while stretching.

“Let’s just finish cleaning and get ready to leave. “Inwook went out to buy your clothes 30 minutes ago, so he’ll be back soon.”

Leo asks those words carefully.

“May I ask what is going on?”

"hmm."

After thinking about Leo's question for a while, I came up with a very good answer.

I answered with a slight smile.

“Counseling for new believers.”

2.

This is the headquarters of a company located in Hapjeong, Mapo-gu.

“I should have come to see you in person... … I'm really sorry."

“You can’t ask a busy person to come. “It is right for those who can afford it to come, brother.”

“No matter how much it is, I think it would be rude to have the Pope come in person.”

“Uh, is it really okay? “It was nice to see Seoul after a long time.”

I waved my hand at Minsu's words and glanced around.

To be honest, I didn't think it would be that big of a MeTuber company, but when I saw it, I realized I was wrong.

It's a 5-story office building close to Seoul, and Hongdae, and there seem to be a lot of employees at first glance.

It seemed like there were well over 30 employees who greeted me as I came to the 5th floor, where the representative office is located.

Should I say that he is definitely a MeTuber with many subscribers?

Looking at this, Minsu, who seemed like a fanatic, appears again.

I asked vaguely while drinking the Yemeni Mocha Matari coffee that Minsu personally gave me.

“The company is bigger than I thought.”

Minsu answered my question as if he was embarrassed.

“It’s no big deal. “Because we don’t only handle MeTube business, it’s a bit bigger than you might think.”

“What other duties do you have?”

“We are also a company approved as a guild. You can think of MeTube as one of the main contents, and we also fulfill requests for dungeon conquest, participation in gate conquest battles, and guild-level requests. In fact, much more sales are generated from guild requests than from MeTube.”

It certainly seemed like there were too many departments and employees to only focus on MeTube.

I nodded slightly and took another sip of coffee. Then I asked Leo, who was admiring the taste of the coffee next to me.

“What do you think, is it worth eating?”

“It’s a taste that expands your knowledge. “I’m becoming more and more interested in Earth’s food culture.”

That can be considered the highest praise among all the expressions that Leo can give.

I laughed at Leo's answer and then spoke to Minsu, who had been spying on Leo earlier.

“This is the person I spoke to on the phone yesterday. “I am said to be Archbishop Leo Lumen, who came from Eden to preach the doctrine of Limen.”

"ah! this person!"

When I gave him a quick glance, Leo put down the cup of coffee he was drinking.

Then he stood up politely and immediately bowed his head politely to Minsu.

“Thank you Limen for allowing me to meet a brother in faith on Earth. Nice to meet you, Brother Minsu. “It’s called Leo Lumen.”

“My name is Gu Min-su.”

“Brother Minsu has already accepted Mr. Limen. “I can feel Remen’s traces.”

As Leo said, there was a very faint trace of Remen coming from Minsu.

Of course, the last time I saw him at the hospital and at the Guro-gu gate, I could feel the power of Limen to some extent from Minsu.

However, at that time, I just thought that it would disappear on its own as time passed, but the energy of Limen definitely became much stronger than the last time.

Should we say that it is the stage right before the germinating of divine power?

It seems that Minsu's faith was more sincere than I thought.

I think we need to keep an eye on Minsu's condition for a while.

This is because it was not that common, even in Eden, for someone with magic power to gain divine power.

anyway.

The two greeted each other warmly, and the main topic began in a friendly atmosphere.

“Could you please look at this first?”

While saying that, I took out the Remen's Token from my pocket and placed it on the desk.

Rimen's Token>

●Item type: Relic – Remen Church

Origin: Dimension: Eden

●Description: A necklace containing the power of Remen. It contains the power to form a sanctuary. Dimensional Realm: According to the causality agreement concluded with Earth, it can only be used on land rightfully occupied by the church.

●Effect of Use: Declares a sanctuary within a certain range.

*warning! According to the law of causality, land forcibly occupied is not recognized.

The sanctuary referred to here refers to the land where the power of Limen touches.

According to the doctrine of the Limen Church, the church's temple must be built on a sanctuary.

In the case of Eden, there was no particular problem because the land that Rimen had blessed became a sanctuary and was located throughout the continent.

But this is Earth.

Is it possible that there is a land blessed with Limen?

Limen also knows this, so he sent me his sacred relic through Leo.

Uuuuuuung-.

"iced coffee."

The sacred power contained in the relic touched Minsu, and Minsu opened his mouth while looking at the necklace with an expression of emotion.

"This… … .”

“It is a relic of the church that Archbishop Leo brought with him when he came over from Eden.”

I explained briefly and then continued talking.

“Now that the archbishop who will preach the church’s doctrines has arrived on Earth, we will now begin missionary work in earnest.”

“How can I help you?”

“I would like to build a temple first.”

Minsu responded to my words by picking up his cell phone as if he had been waiting.

“I will immediately contact the management support team and try to raise funds. For Limen’s historic first temple… … .”

“… … “If you were in a hurry for money, you wouldn’t have bothered to come to Brother Minsu, right?”

Money was not an immediate issue.

If I need it, I can just earn it without having to borrow anything.

It was different from the old days when all I had was a healthy body. You may need some help from the Ability Management Department, but if you decide to make money through gates or dungeons, you can make as much money as you want.

It may even be possible to copy money at the level of cryptocurrency, which dominated an era.

I spoke slowly while looking into Minsu’s eyes.

“As this is the first temple of the Limen Church, we would like to come up with an idea that will make it a little more familiar to the public. “It would be even better if it could be done in a way that allows as many people as possible to participate.”

It was a vague expectation that with 5.4 million MeTubers, there would be some sparkling wit.

I guess it's because I lack the ability to improvise when it comes to content like this.

The same goes for Leo.

It is greedy to expect such things from Leo, who is armed with principles.

Because improvisation on the battlefield and improvisation like this are completely different types.

“There is no need to feel burdened.”

I thought it would be an embarrassing question for Minsu, so I tried to give it some time.

But it seems that it was just my imagination.

“Have you already decided on the location where the temple will be built?”

“Not yet.”

“Do you have any place in mind?”

"yes."

In response to my short answer, Minsu looked into my eyes and said.

“Then how about something like this?”

And then I asked Minsu's idea as if I was dumbfounded.

“Is that okay?”
