EPILOGUE
"The God of Sacrifice and Resurrection presents the future to the God of sunset, and the continent is entering a new era"
"Wait, wait…Are you really trying to do that? You know, you can't talk about that in the interview, right?"
"Huh?"
"You really should never go into an interview and talk like that, Valerie. The Honorary Cardinal said that he does not want to be called the God of sacrifice and resurrection. Benigore is the Goddess who controls the continent, The Honorary Cardinal only supports it…if you say that in an interview, what will become of The Honorary Cardinal position?"
"….."
"Do you think opportunities like this is common? Getting into the Blue Guild is every adventurer's dream. And a chance to talk with Lee Ki-Young …it's an opportunity that can't be bought even with money! Don't ever so anything against his will, and be well prepared, because the moment you do, you will be eliminated from the interview."
"Still…"
It was a fact I myself knew. It's been a year since The God of Sacrifice and Resurrection came back down to the continent.
When the case was over and the rear end was in full swing, there was an official announcement from the Honorary Cardinal.
Benigore has took pity on the continent and sent Lee Ki-Young back down, saying that he would continue to live as the Honorary Cardinal of the Benigore Church/Benigore Order. But how can the continent forget about the miracle of that day?
People, including me, have poured out articles, and at this moment, it was a place where believers who hold him in faith gather daily. Not only did he not offer regular worship, but it was all too natural that he was accompanied informally. As a Saint of the continent, no, as a god.
I did too.
At the time of the miracle, I was only looking at the goddess's mirror floating in the sky, but everything felt vivid, as if I had watched it right before my eyes.
The Honorary Cardinal tears, who came back to the continent with great light, his wings spread out as he cried.
"Arise Oh, God of Sunset, and I will give you the future."
"…."
"I…huff…huff… I will give you the future."
How could I forget that desperate but sublime figure? The scene where The Sunset Swordsman revealed himself to the world along with the sunset light, embracing the inert honorary Cardinal in his arms, is probably in everyone's memory.
This was as far as someone like us could see. All I could do afterwards was wait for press or for an official announcement.
[The Honorary Cardinal who hasn't awoken yet. There is still no official announcement from the Blue Guild and The Benigore Church…]
[For the miracle of the resurrection and resurgence God has given us.]
[They are in the process of discussing the punishment of "The Great Devil" Song Sookyung under the supervision of the Church's special inspection team and sect's heretical investigation, the possibility of execution is high]
[Pope Basel in tears. Benigore pities us… All believers should pay their respect to Lee Kiyoung and Benigore…]
[Prayers that begins with the Blue Guild are still in progress today. I don't he's healthy…but I'm getting worried…]
The voices were growing… People were telling each other stories.
The Honorary Cardinal awoken exactly three months later.
He thanked those who gathered for him, gave their vision of freedom and equality for the continent ahead, gave their support to Benigore, The Sunset Swordsman, and the Honorary Cardinal himself.
He said he didn't want to be called God; many tears poured out in the speech that confidently announced many journeys that have come.
It was the moment when a new continent emerged.
I was just a simple mercenary, and all this luck had come to me that day.
'Joining the Blue Guild.'
A place that is being thought of as every adventurer's dream.
I have been through the admission test for more than two months; the current situation still feels dreamy with only the final interview left.
Perhaps my friends are right to support me.
If the God of Sacrifice and Resurrection…No, if the Blue vice Guild Master wishes to remain human, it will be necessary to acknowledge that.
I heard the voices of my colleagues nodding their heads and quietly tapping my shoulder.
"Well, good luck with your interview, Valerie."
"Yes, thank you so much."
"if you successfully pass, don't you dare forget us,"
"No way, I am grateful to you all."
"I knew something would happen after the day of resurrection…when you trained so hard. I didn't really know you were going to be here."
"it's not entirely decided yet. Even if I pass… I feel sorry for you guys.''
"Don't be! Rather, thank you, the thoughts of the transfer funds (money) coming in makes me laugh in many ways."
"…."
"It's a joke. So bring me the news if you pass. If you get in, make sure to introduce me."
"Yes, I will."
After a hug with my colleagues, I stepped into the wrap point that the magician has finished setting up, these wrap points are created by the great Wizard, Jung Hayan.
A magical device designed to travel a great distance of more than three days on a Griffon in less than a few seconds.
Although it was a bit expensive to operate special artifacts, it was a popular means of transportation.
It hadn't been that long since it was made, but now it was hard to imagine a life without a wrap point.
By the way, a lot of people are gathering in my sight.
A large merchant guild for transporting goods, a small guild for work, immigrants gathering to start a new life in Lindel, priests who move their feet for pilgrimage, and even xenophiles and tourists come together, is now one of the familiar sight, but today it was not the same.
"What kind of kids…"
A party of three boys and one girl, donned in cute armor and swords like little adventurers.
The sight of children around the age of ten with different hair colors carrying large loads seemed unrealistic to anyone.
A strange circle is drawn around them, like everyone else.
"Mother will be waiting for you. Mother is strict on time, Seru, what are you going to do with this?''
"….."
"Ugh…What shall I do? I was late last time too…"
"Father will tell you well."
"Ugh"
I could see a blue haired boy comforting the brunette, whom tears were building in her eyes, and a blonde boy with a somewhat depressing face stand out in her eyes.
The blue haired boy looks back and opens his mouth.
"Come on, Sera, it's time to go."
"Oh, yeah…"
"Sera, is your father still…"
"Yes. I...I... I'm a little short today. I made a mistake again today…"
"What does your mother say?''
"My mother is busy…"
"Would you want me to tell him?"
"Ha. No, don't do it, don't worry Cheru. You'll be hated too."
"No, Sera, father doesn't hate you…"
'Are they going to Lindel too?'
Only the silver haired kid picked up his luggage quietly while the rest chattered endlessly.
The monster by products that are wrinkled in the bag somehow bothers me. They looked like high-ranking monsters to me.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you pay attention, but for some reason, your gaze doesn't go down. It was an unusual sight.
'Errands?'
It won't take long because of the wrap point, but I don't understand the need to bring monster byproducts to this street...
'Looks like there's only one father.'
Maybe they are sons and daughter of a famous family or the children of an adventurer.
Polygamy is quite common on the continent, but it feels like that when you see children looking neat. (I couldn't properly translate this.)
When you see the silver-haired boy carrying a heavy load, you might think it's a good idea to think of as a early life training.
The blue-haired kid seems to be the one to lead them and walk the children through.
I saw them take out a VIP ticket, it seems that my prediction was not wrong. I brought out my own ticket paid by the Blue Guild and started climbing up the wrap point.
I don't know why, but I could feel the gazes of the children. I wonder if I feels out of sort because I took out a VIP ticket.
"No, Hello..."
Let's say hello.
"Hello sister."
The blue haired guy stepped forward, the blonde child avoided my eyes, and the silver haired boy nodded. The girl with brown braided hair just sighed as if she didn't care.
"Sir...Are you her on an errand?"
"Yes"
That was the end of the short conversation.
"Keru, do you remember that father said not to talk to anyone else?"
The silver haired kid quietly whispered. As if glue was applied on his mouth that is tightly closed to the blue haired ears. A child named Sera in particular was biting his lower lips so hard that his jaws trembled. I felt sorry they had to talk to me.
'Cute'
But I somehow see it, I feel like the silver haired boy is wary of me.
Did they see what I was looking at earlier? I smiled slightly, sorry, and then I could see him nodding and looking away.
I took a step immediately and heard a voice.
"Then let's get going."
"....."
"....."
Immediately after, light flashed, and my vision began to change.
"Welcome to Lindel."
"Welcome everyone! Welcome to Lindel."
Lindel, the free city.
"Wow..."
It always been like that, but my mouth opens automatically at the sight.
A giant city centered around the Dragon nest, where Dialugia and Dialuria live.
It is called the paradise of adventurers, a place where cultures and races of various personalities are located, a symbol of freedom, and the current state of trade...
"Lindel..."
It was Lindel.
"It's Lindel."
