"What? The delegation came to Eshua?!"
At the butler's words, Lilai, who was taking care of Isaac, laughed sheepishly.
"I didn't expect you to pick me up myself."
Still, Lilai had been rejecting all invitations to Isaac for 10 years.
The Pope even told him to come to their banquet because he would give him a pardon. Well, I had a lot of intentions.
'How did you hear Isaac's current state and call him to mock him on purpose?'
In fact, the private product that was offered to be given was an "honorary private product."
It was an experiential gift given to commoner children for events at festivals. Far from the children of the original clerical family.
And what does that mean?
Isaac scoffed that he could not become a priest in the future. But this time, the papal mission?
The butler looked worried.
"Why do you want to take him with you so much? Or that you have bad intentions..."
"No, it's okay for them to come this time. They're the ones I know well. They are priestly scholars and scouts."
"Scouts?"
"yes. In a confrontation with the demon tribe, even one priest is precious, so he is looking for talent himself. They are trustworthy."
Priests were divided into elite priests of the Holy See and religious of local monasteries.
The test was to be taken by a priest belonging to the Holy See, who had the rank of officer.
And in fact, cardinals have enough power to make a tramp a papal priest at once, but in principle, they cannot recommend their immediate family members as papal priests.
Nor is he a father who will break it.
"So what about your father?"
"Oh, yes, that's why you agreed to meet with him, but..."
"But?"
"You crazy bastard, what the hell are 200 kilograms of chocolate and 100 kilograms of sugar?"
"...!"
Lilai was sweating.
No, I hid it well, but how did my father know?
In fact, someone kept ordering chocolates and sweets in my father's name. The recipient is Isaac!
That, too, in the amount of several hundred kilograms. Even every day!
Culprit? Don't know!
'Could it be that someone was trying to hurt Isaac?'
Justly, sugars are a symbol of depravity and are not good for minors who are vulnerable to temptation and addiction.
That's why it's such a taboo that priests never touch it until they reach adulthood.
Well, the truth is that Isaac, who only eats monk food every day, ordered it because he was tight, but Lilai doesn't know what to know.
'I can't send the delivery back, and Isaac eats it all every time before I donate it around....'
He is also furious with the Skeleton King's magic, and if he knows that he can't even take care of food, his father will definitely explode too.
He seems to have given up on Isaac, but he doesn't seem to let go of his hopes as he continues to throw in the Youngdan.
"Oh, I got it. The priests, I will go to greet you. It's Isaac's chance to become a priest..."
"Probably too much?"
"Brother!"
Goel kicked his tongue and told Lilai not to go.
"I understand your desire to give Isaac a private product, but I don't think they'll write a letter of recommendation. Even if Isaac shows his skills."
No, what else is this?
"Those scholars are people I know. They must have come here for impure purposes..."
At the look in Lilai's eyes, Goel smiled pitifully.
"No, it's the three of you. Two priests and one priest."
"!"
Lilai's expression hardened.
Could it be that one priest?
"yes. The Pope is the Elden priest of the faction."
Screwed.
Lilai closed her eyes.
So, to put it simply, the other one cares more than the two scholars who came to recommend Isaac.
And all the letters of recommendation must go through that person to the cardinals who were the final approvers.
But that person is the Pope is a clique?
What does this mean?
"No matter how much two scholars want to write a letter of recommendation, if the other one blocks it, it will be a piece of tissue. And the pope will pass Eshua's recommendation well."
Lilai gritted his teeth rarely.
What a beggar in the world.
"Then there is no possibility of him writing a letter of recommendation, so why did the minister come here in person?"
"I'm sure you're here to check on Isaac's appearance under the pretext of a letter of recommendation."
"You have a good head, too. You're curious about the situation of a child who hasn't been seen for 10 years."
Goel laughed, as if he knew what he was trying to say.
Well, for Goel, he's just trying to cut out the possibility of Isaac becoming a priest, but luckily it has something to do with Eshua's honor as well?
Lilai drew a sigh from his lungs.
"I shouldn't let Isaac meet with the priests."
"Yes, you came to pick up Shuri anyway. As for the delegation, I'll deal with you, so don't worry, Isaac...."
But that was then.
"There!"
One of the waiting servants rolled his eyeballs.
Goel glared cheekily at his attendant, as if to ask where he was going to interject,
"... I think I have to tell you!"
"What."
"Actually, Isaac Bleed... You've already gone to see the priests!"
"... What?!"
"What?!"
Lilai and Goel were stunned in different ways.
"When, not why!"
"That's it, Shuri took Isaac with him...!"
"What?!"
Goel grabbed the back of his neck as if he was dizzy.
Son, why would you do such a useless thing!
Is Isaac the only one doing a good job?
* * *
Around that time, the castle east of Eshua.
A Vatican priest was walking through the annex with two scholars.
'After all, the eastern castle is unguarded.'
He was one of three who came on a delegation to take Isaac with him.
Well, it seems that the two scholars stupidly went directly to Gaju, and even ate water from Gaju, who has a bad personality.
'Well, I'm rather thankful for that.'
The two scholars would have purely intended to take Isaac with them, but the man who came with them, Elden, was different.
He is an official with the authority to greet the new members of the Holy See, and he deliberately came here to Eshua himself.
For what?
To confirm the appearance of Isaac Eshua, who is rumored? So to convey that appearance to the Pope?
No, that's not why.
That was important, of course, but he knew Isaac's condition anyway.
'He must have been cursed by the Skull King, and he said that he can't use the Holy Law.'
And when he heard that, the reason why he really came to the Duchy of Eshua was none other than the Holy Spirit.
Yes, it was the Holy Spirit!
'Oh my God, the royal Holy Spirit!'
Isn't it only the Cardinals and His Holiness the Pope that can be summoned by a one-time contract!
But call it up as a subordinate contract?
Even what?
What did you call out the Holy Spirit of Hangma?!
'I didn't expect to see that legend with my own eyes.'
All five generations of the family lit a fire in their eyes. Is that all? Eshua's honor and prestige would change at once.
'In Eshua it seems that they are deliberately keeping it a secret, but almost certainly.'
The more he examined the eastern castle where Isaac Eshua was staying, the more certain it became.
'This is evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit at least superlative.'
Of course, Elden wasn't driven by a series of facts alone. As a professor of the Holy Spirit, the rumors he raked together as usual only moved him.
'The black-haired Spirit of Fire.'
Although his name has been erased from the Bible, he is still a powerful figure in some historical books.
"The one in charge of the Divine Realm"
I don't know why, but there is no way that the pope who collects all kinds of holy spirit will not covet it.
What if you steal it and take it to the Pope?
'You can get a good seat.'
His goal was to be seen by the pope and get a spot. I couldn't keep up with the guys in key positions for a long time.
In terms of skill, he is superior.
'It's ridiculous to say that it's just the education of new priests.'
So Elden sought grass to neutralize the Holy Spirit.
After all, it is a precious item that is not yet known in the Holy Empire, so it is a good grass that will not be discovered by the people of Eshua.
And the work has already been done.
'I didn't know there was such an effective pool.'
And the grass meets Isaac, who can't even use the sex law?
Then, the power of the Holy Spirit will be weakened, and the power of the Skeleton King that the Holy Spirit is holding down will be even more expansive! The mansion will become mayhem in an instant.
'No, but you said that the castle explodes every day because of the Skeleton King's magic, so it's even better!'
He uses the confusion to drain the incapacitated royal spirit. So come on!
'By the time Qing arrives, the job will already be done.'
Elden, who came to see Isaac just like that, flashed his eyes... I was going to do this.
"Oh, Isaac? Say hello. Priests from the Holy See."
Shree Eshua, who had ushered them into the parlor, was sweating for some reason.
What is it? Why did this kid who brought them here look at them like this?
"I'm sorry to be in an old building, Professor. If my brother isn't an eastern castle, I'm a stranger. The other place is a little dirty with Isaac's stuff."
"Uh... Do you know. That's okay, Eshua. No, I should say Confucius here."
He's a schoolboy who has never seen anything like this in his entire life, even at the academy.
What is it? Why are you looking around as if this building is about to explode?
"He! You must have been amazed at how much you look!"
"... Uh...."
I was surprised. I've heard it directly from the papal messenger, but it really looks like an infant.
But that didn't matter.
On the contrary, because he looks like that, he has prepared a plan to steal the Holy Spirit. He also knew he wouldn't be able to control his power because he was that kid.
Merely....
"Taya."
'Why?'
Why are you skewering yourself?
The scholars looked at Isaac and wondered if he was the hero of the rumors, but Elden was different.
'This kid, something is wrong.'
Why... No, the clergy family's eyes are badly rotten. I don't see one iota of religiosity.
And the rotten eye-catching cub was snickering.
'Are these the guys who came to write my recommendation?'
The growth of the body and the use of sexual methods are still at his disposal, but Isaac cannot do whatever he wants.
In other words, we need them.
Of course, Isaac was also told by Shuri.
-Just go into the academy and wait 6 years. Even if they try to write you a letter of recommendation, they won't pass easily.
-For what?
- From what I've heard, I think the middle officer who passes the recommendation is the pope's clique.
- Oh, so the mid-level executive guy is trying to cover this, right?
-Ok. And that cadre is one in three who came today, Professor Elden. I don't know why the Pope's clique got here.
- So if you get rid of that approver, it won't be moored?
-... Yes?
- Mmm.
- No, wait. What's good?
And instead of saving the princess you meet in two weeks, if you save this, the processing speed will be faster, right?
'Two eyewitnesses and testimonial writers. 2 person rescued.'
Isaac's eyes curved into a crescent moon.
After all, a priest can only save people, right?
Right?
