3.

Your mine is sweet.

The so-called "Ni Kwang Moon" worked much better than I thought.

Perhaps it was because it was a change that he threw while attaching his brother to the end of each word, and Kang Byung-so's expression, which had been smiling leisurely just a moment ago, cracked.

But he was definitely a professional.

In the blink of an eye, he cleared his frown, and then adjusted his glasses.

"We believe that Siu entered Ground Zero with the aim of the Magic Stone Mine from the beginning. Of course, you should have been provided with the information by the Supervisory Management Department."

Seeing that the order is wrong, there must be a big misunderstanding.

Apparently, I made the decision after talking to the management department, but I didn't bother to clear up the misunderstanding.

After all, they've already set up a confrontational angle.

And they don't need to clear up misunderstandings and improve relationships.

They hired people to show their teeth from the first meeting, so why would they have to misunderstand them?

Moreover, it is also a situation in which it is highly likely that the cause of the demon of pride lies over there.

That's why I didn't respond to Kang's.

And perhaps he took it as a sign of affirmation, Kang Byung-so still continued his.

"We, the National Awakening Alliance, regret the forcible seizure of the Gemstone Mines that were legitimately occupied by the large guilds."

"Oh, go ahead."

"The Majeongseok Mine here has been a very important source of growth for the large guilds that are currently leading Korea. The big guilds have put aside their greed in front of the meaningful value of Korea's growth and have been mining magic gems evenly with each other."

If you listen to the story, they are the heroes who protect the Republic of Korea.

I stared at Kang Byung-so's face as he whispered that brazen.

You might feel a guilty conscience when you talk this much, but Kang Byung-so's expression doesn't shake at all.

"Those who put aside their greed are fighting like turf bastards?"

"It was just a clash between practitioners. The coalition was going to mediate."

"So...... Everyone was yielding to each other for the greater good, and I was greedy and ate it all by myself, is that it?"

Kang replied to my words, still in a soft voice.

"Not necessarily. It's just a pity that we should have talked about it beforehand with those of us who were actually occupying it."

"Oh, you felt sorry for me and made you want to make us an?"

"Well, we don't know much about that. Looks like you had an unfortunate accident."

"I didn't think I'd admit it in the first place, so I'll move on. Okay, I'm sure you're not here to talk about that, but get down to business, brother."

Those words were just rice cakes for the that would follow.

I immediately asked for the main point, and Kang nodded and spoke.

"I will guarantee the Remen Cult 50% of the amount of Magic Stone Mine. In addition, we will give you the right to use the infrastructure that we have built, from mining to processing and sales, and we will also promise a small amount of donations to make the operation of the denomination easier. It's probably a good sum of money."

It was a clear appeasement.

There is only one reason why these guys, who until yesterday were going to make me a half-ass, have changed like this.

[The number of believers is rapidly increasing!] [As a result, we're updating the new main quest, estimated duration of 7 hours and 32 minutes]

This is because my influence has become incomparably greater than before.

Besides, I had already thought of the answer to that question.

Therefore, it didn't take long for him to answer Kang's offer.

"You seem to have thought it was just a peace negotiation, Brother Byung-so. Think about it. I tried to stab the knife first, but failed, so wow! Great! Let's take care in the future? It's funny to think about it."

Anyway, they didn't like it from the beginning.

Look at that dignified little man who doesn't even have a conscience.

I put my right arm around Kang Byung-so's shoulder, whose expression was beginning to crack.

Finally, Kang Byung-so's expression changed greatly, and those behind him raised their magic as if they were ready to fight at any moment.

However, their rebellion did not last long.

Woooo

Before I knew it, the divine forces that had emanated from my body had entrapped them.

"If you want to talk to me more, the men who ordered you to stab the knife should come to you and apologize on your knees."

“…… We gave it a chance."

"Hey, really. Radish. Sup. Everything."

"I'm sure you'll regret your choice today."

I grabbed the chin of Kang Byung-so, who had started glaring at me, with my right hand and slid the corners of his mouth up.

He concluded his voice with a languid voice.

"Go back and tell him. If you don't come to apologize, I'll go find you myself. Do you know it's an atrium?"

4.

The Zhen Legion friends quietly withdrew.

They didn't have a choice.

I'm not gentle enough to look at the guys who show their teeth to us first.

It's hard the first time, it's easy the second time.

I've made my intentions clear, and I'm sure we'll bump into each other again soon.

Anyway.

After that, things went very well.

He was introduced by Mr. Min-so, and was able to successfully sign a mining contract with a representative of the Meister Guild named Anarchy> who came to the mine.

Representative Kangho.

Maybe it's because it's the first production player I've ever seen on Earth, but he's been a pretty interesting guy.

-Unfortunately, the big guilds have taken control of the Magic Stone Mine and our kids are going crazy, but we will show you the results as much as you believe in us. Hahaha!

An exhilaration reminiscent of the dwarves who were one of Eden's alien races.

As soon as he saw the Sacred Stone Mine, he was eager to challenge the new ore, so he gladly signed a contract with us, and I was able to solve one of my worries once and for all.

Mr. Minsoo vouched for their ability, so there should be no doubt about their ability.

In addition, unlike magic stones, which often explode in magic during the mining process, sacred stones do not cause accidents at all.

Rather, it bestows blessings on those who mine it.

It is a blessing that relieves fatigue and heals wounds.

I also heard that some of the miners who were highly sensitive to divine power experienced real miracles.

For example, overcoming hair loss, or something like that.

"By the way, the Pope. Are what you said to Chairman Kang true?"

After signing the contract, the path to the newly constructed sanctuary.

Minsoo asked me cautiously.

"Which one?"

"That...... Hair loss ......."

"Oh, of course. In Eden, our Remen Cult was known for their abundant hair. But why is that all of a sudden...... Could it be, Brother Minsu?"

"Oh, no. Just...... Someone who knows......."

I see.

On the outside, you look so full of hair, but I didn't expect you to have such a problem.

I patted him on the back and nodded.

"Good things are going to happen."

Basically, Min-so's sensitivity to divine power is quite high. As long as he awakens his divine powers, there's a good chance he'll get the results he wants.

But that's for later.

I wasn't sure yet, so I deliberately kept my words to myself.

As we talked, we arrived at the consecrated sanctuary built behind the temple.

The facility I built last night for a whopping 5,000 Holy points.

It was a facility that Leo was familiar with, so Leo nodded slightly.

"It's a nice feeling to see you on Earth. But it feels quite small compared to Eden."

Certainly, as Leo said, it was very small compared to the Holy See's sanctuary.

Well, actually, I didn't think from the beginning that I could build a mammoth sanctuary that was in the Holy See.

"Is it because it's still level 1? It's smaller than I thought."

"Is it possible to expand in the future?"

"Probably."

"I don't think there's any end to Limen's benevolence."

It's a miracle made possible by working with Earth's systems, but you don't have to tell Leo, so let's just say so.

I nodded lightly and entered the sanctuary with them.

Consecrated sanctuary.

It is also a place that has the meaning of a place to give blessings to something.

To put it simply.

"It's like a workshop...... Sounds like it."

"That's an accurate analogy, Brother Numbers."

As Mr. Minsoo put it, you can think of it as a workshop attached to a temple.

A small workshop that is not very big.

It was a workshop of about 30 pyeong, but it had all the facilities that could be found inside.

Starting with the simple fountain where the holy water bubbles up little by little, and then to the five workbenches.

Certainly, as Minsoo said, it was a workshop by all accounts.

And I didn't want to correct it.

Just as objects are made in a workshop, holy objects are made in the sanctuary.

In Eden, the dwarves who served the Remen were used to produce high-quality relics, but I don't know how to do that on Earth.

Whether it's armor imbued with divine power, or a holy sword made by the dwarves and blessed by Limen himself, there's no way he'd be able to create a miraculous relic like that.

I came in to get a sense of how things were going, but luckily the system was still friendly.

[You have entered the Consecrated Sanctum Lv. 1 > of your Temple.] [Displays a list of Relics that can currently be crafted in your Holy Sanctum.]

1. Low-cost holy water: This is a holy water with a very small amount of divine power. It increases the body's ability to recover and can be an effective weapon against targets with Magi.

2. Holy Stone Bracelet: This bracelet has a part of the Holy Stone inserted into the groove. The grade of the Holy Stone used in crafting determines its efficacy and helps the wearer recover from nature.

*The number of Relics that can be crafted in the Sanctum can be purchased by leveling up the Sanctum or through the DLC Shop.

"Isn't this just a Religious Management DLC, not the Pope DLC?"

"What do you mean, Your Holiness?"

"Nothing. Well, that's what it is."

Once again, no religious organization can operate without capital.

The Ministry of Finance was the department with the worst working conditions in the Vatican in Eden, and it must be well funded in order to grow into a large denomination.

Moreover, this was a world where capitalism was incomparably more developed than Eden.

Therefore, I could say that this sanctuary was a key facility that I would have to manage with all my heart and soul in the future.

One good thing, though.

"Sacred Stone Bracelet."

The most popular product of the Remen Church.

The Holy Stone Bracelet was on the list of craftable relics.

Bracelets that are made in the form of bracelets and have beneficial effects on the wearer's health.

Reminiscent of the germanium bracelet, also known as the health bracelet, a pseudoscience that was popular on Earth in the past, it was a much-loved relic because of its low price.

The difference between the health bracelet and the Earth's health bracelet is that the Sacred Stone bracelet actually has a positive effect on the body.

If he were to use the finest sacred stone that was about to be mined, it would surely have a noticeable effect.

"Health bracelet...... New Religions...... This is a bit of a picture. It's like a real cult."

"His Holiness. I beg of you, but I understand that a consecrated priest is needed to properly run the sanctuary."

"Right. Craftsmen can make things, but it's up to the priest to consecrate them using sacred stones."

That's why the priest was always in charge of the finishing touches.

That is why they also created the professional office of consecrated priest, but as Leo said, there were no professional consecrated priests on Earth.

Even when I ask Li Men to bring me back, I keep getting worried about the causality.

"Don't worry."

If you don't have teeth, it's gums, and you just have to make a way.

If there is no consecrated priest at once, a consecrated priest can be appointed temporarily.

I nodded and said to Leo.

"Leo Lumen."

"Yes, Holy Father."

"I appoint you as a consecrated priest who temporarily administers the sanctuary. I hope you will continue to serve you even more in the future."

“…… His Holiness. I don't have enough time just to translate ....... Bible."

"I'll replenish your manpower soon, so let's take care for a while. I'll tell Li Men soon, and I'll make sure to bring the Sanction Priest with me. Don't you believe me?"

"But that's ......."

I don't think so.

Seeing that you are putting in a lot of steam, I have no choice but to use my secret weapon.

I looked at Leo's hesitant face, and then spoke in a very firm voice.

"Do it."
