Episode 38

3.

The result of the sales, or rather missionary activities, was truly a great success.

[Player ‘Choi Si-won’ joins your church.] [Player ‘Shin A-young’ joins your church.] [Player ‘Oh Jae-min’ joins your church… … ]

“Thank you for choosing us. Best of luck in the future, brothers and sisters. “Limmen will be very happy.”

A sermon that wasn't a sermon that lasted 30 minutes.

My passionate sermon, which was reminiscent of a job fair, was rewarded with a very enthusiastic result, with all 5 people joining the church.

How will I lead them and what support can I provide in the process?

After spewing out a very blatant argument, saying, ‘There is no place that can match our denomination in the subject of divine power,’ all of them eventually chose our denomination.

And that is clear.

I didn't have much talent for teaching anyone, but at that moment there was a man who would be the best teaching assistant for us.

“Archbishop Leo.”

“Yes, Your Holiness.”

“I have great faith in Archbishop Leo. haha."

Leo Lumen, the best priest who was in charge of disciplining the Heresy Inquisitors in Eden and was admired by many!

Leo is the driving force that made me speak passionately and full of confidence.

Did he realize my intention to manipulate him to my heart's content?

Leo narrowed his eyes and quietly whispered to me.

“… … Your Holiness, your words seem to be a bit different. Definitely a weekend... … .”

“Uh, I said I would find a weekend for you. You didn't say you'd find it right away, right? Let’s do our best.”

"His Holiness."

“Remen said he would bring additional people from Eden to help educate new believers, so let’s hold on a little longer. huh? “They say they will make sure we have enough manpower.”

Looking at it like this, I feel like a really bad boss.

When I even mentioned Limen's name, Leo could no longer complain.

Instead, he nodded heavily and asked.

“Do you know which brother is coming over?”

“I asked you to send one of the Holy Knight commanders. “ Each of the new brothers will have different talents, so we can’t take charge of them all, right?”

Just as not everyone who uses magical power becomes a wizard, not everyone who awakens divine power serves God as a priest.

There are many different ways to use divine power.

Some use divine power to provide healing or blessings, while others lead the crusade from the front lines wearing divine power and armor.

“Certainly, in today’s Earth, the paladins would be of great help.”

“I guess so.”

The beings that represent the latter case are the paladins.

Of course, there was a special position among priests called combat priests with combat abilities, but that was a special case.

It was no exaggeration to say that the best means of force possessed by the Holy See were the Holy Knights.

Starting with how to use divine power militantly, and various martial arts such as shield art.

And while not as good as the Healers, they also have healing skills that can be useful on the battlefield.

To borrow a terrestrial expression, it's a hexagonal player.

"Of course, it's going to take a lot of time to get to where we want to be."

"It can't be helped, can it? Earthlings have just blossomed with divine power, and it will take plenty of time for them to become familiar with it."

"It won't take that long to get used to it."

"Why?"

"There's a helper on Earth called the system."

With the help of the system, I was able to use my divine power with ease.

My plan is to expand as much as possible through the information gap until the people of Earth become familiar with the divine power.

Even if only one of the Paladmen Commanders from Eden comes over, it will give you enough momentum.

That's when I was quietly talking to Leo.

"Now that I've joined the Limen Sect, I'll call you Brother Xiu. Siu."

"Haha."

Jaemin, who had already touched my heart once before, asked me with a sunny expression.

Until now, I was like, 'Baremouth?' It was a uselessly sunny look for a guy who didn't hesitate to say that.

I stared at Jaemin's face, then smiled lovingly and nodded.

"I think that's going to be a bit of a problem."

"Oh, why bro! I said I could do it earlier!"

"Did I? Haha, I'm just going to think about it, that's what I said."

I don't know what the hell is called that big brother.

But it seems that Jaemin was sincere.

He looked very annoyed, and then spoke in a slightly toned voice.

"I'm just going to another religion. I'm offended."

I knew it would.

If it had been before, I would have done something to appease it, but now I don't have to.

I carefully put my mouth to Jaemin's ear, then whispered in a very small voice.

"Oh no. What can I do about this? If you choose a religion, you won't be able to convert for 180 days. I guess you haven't checked it thoroughly."

This is information that was confirmed in advance by the three of us.

Conversion is possible, but only after 180 days of choosing faith.

I guess I didn't know this guy's reaction, but he pretended to be clever, and this was a complete hukou, right?

"It can't be...... Huh?"

Our Jaemin freezes momentarily as if he's checked something.

I patted Jaemin on the head.

"Looks like our brother Jaemin needs a special education. Even though we're like a family, there's a certain formality that needs to be observed between people. You may not know much because you're still young, so I'm going to give you a very good teacher. Archbishop Leo?"

"Yes, Holy Father."

"Our brother Jaemin suddenly wants to convert to another religion, but our Archbishop Leo is good at counseling us about our faith, right? Get some outside air and have some faith counseling."

Leo replied, bowing politely.

"I think it is an honored responsibility as a priest to guide a wavering faith. I will faithfully obey Your Holiness' commands."

"Oh, yes. Also, I would like you to educate believers on the minimum etiquette that they should observe while counseling each other. Is that possible?"

"Absolutely."

"Sal, save me."

"Don't worry. We will surely revive the fading faith of our brother Jaemin. ”

Just like that, Leo walked out of the auditorium with Jaemin, who was white-faced, and I straightened my face and said pleasantly:

"Why, isn't there such a thing? It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. Haha, that's what faith is all about. Now, our newcomers. If you have any questions, please do so."

Naturally, none of the four remaining newcomers asked me questions.

4.

According to Kim, Divinity-affiliated players will also be required to complete basic training at the Age-Specific Awoken Academy.

I, too, was very happy to accept their plan.

Just because you're a Divinity player doesn't mean you're not an Awoken.

When it comes to the mindset of the awakened and the rules that the awakened must follow, the Ability Management Department is an expert.

Since we had achieved our primary goal of getting them admitted anyway, Leo and I handed them over to the Reasoning Department and returned to the temple.

As I was resting in the audience room for a while due to psychological exhaustion, Leo handed me his smartphone and said,

"I think you'll need to take a look."

"Why do you seem to use your smartphone better than I do?"

I'm also a person with a conscience, so I gave Leo a gift of the latest smartphone for him.

Still, Leo is my right-hand man, so even if I go out for work, I have to have a way to keep in touch.

But I didn't expect Leo to learn how to use a smartphone so quickly.

Is it unbelievable for someone from a barbarian tribe north of Eden?

Even I came back after 10 years, and I still feel awkward with my smartphone.

"Siyeon taught me a few times before, and the controls were surprisingly simple. In that sense, why don't you install a router in the temple? I think the devotees who come here will love it."

“…… Okay."

It's a router.

It's time to take care of your employees' welfare.

I nodded curly and looked at the phone Leo had handed me.

What Leo showed me were all kinds of articles on the Internet.

Vatican Strongly Appeals to Players Who Have Awakened Their Divine Power! St. John Paul III 'Evidence that the Lord still loves us'>

The moment has come for some Islamic extremists, 'jihad. Assemble, warriors'>

Healing power, divine power. What exactly is divine power? >

What is the Age of Dignity, and how does it relate to divine power? >

Governments Begin Discussions on Measures Against Divinity-affiliated Players. >

The first to react were, of course, the religious community.

Since the opening of Dimension five years ago, established religions, which had been steadily weakening in power, have begun to raise their heads.

I flipped through the articles, then muttered bitterly as I slowly put my phone down on my desk.

"Divine power isn't as all-powerful as they think."

"It's true that it's more efficient than magic against monsters."

"That said, enemies aren't always monsters. Earth is a much more complex world than Eden."

In the case of Eden, most of the country had already been destroyed by the demon kings, so the survivors fought as one.

On the other hand, the case of Earth is different.

There are still many countries in existence, and only the old forms of competition have changed.

Divine power is the energy that shines when trying to protect something, and it does not have a wide range of applications compared to magical power.

For now, they were just excited about the excitement of new energy, but they were facts that would soon be revealed when research on divine power was conducted.

"We just have to do our job."

"All right, Your Holiness."

I shrugged and handed Leo back his phone.

Then, through a swipe of commands, the system interface of our denomination was brought up in front of me.

[Remen Cult]

●Main Deity: Primal Goddess – Limen

●Origin Dimension System: Eden

●Formal members: 255

-Retained Characteristics-

자애 Lv. 2>, 세례 Lv. 2>

-Affiliated Groups-

None of the above

★Holy Points Held: 1,700

Is it just an illusion that it still feels empty?

The only thing that has changed compared to the past is that the official Shinto > is replacing the place where the original Shinto > should have been displayed.

It happened because they had brought Leo back from Eden, built a sanctuary, and so on, so they didn't have any Holy Points left.

"It's time to fill up some of the boudoirs."

Bringing in additional personnel from Eden would definitely cost more Holy Points, but it seemed necessary to fill those talents.

One of the requirements for completing the main quest was that the total attribute level had to exceed 10.

In addition, since new players have joined the cult, we need traits to help them grow, so let's get a taste of them.

I patted him on the chin a little, and then immediately opened the DLC shop.

Maybe it's because it's been a long time since I've opened it, but as soon as I uttered the command, countless message windows filled my eyes.

And a few message windows that particularly caught my eye.

[A total of 17 Traits and 3 Special Positions are available for purchase.] [There are traits you might notice!]

-Notable Trait: Enlightenment Lv. 1> ★★★ (strongly recommended)

[Displays information about the trait Enlightenment>.]

1. Enlightenment (★★★)> Lv. 1: All experience gained by new players in the Order is increased by 30% for 180 days. This effect can be stacked with other talents, and has an extremely rare chance to spawn a prophet >. If a > prophet appears within the denomination, the effect is tripled.

*가격: 10,000DP

"Oh."

The jackpot was hit in a short time.
