Chapter 118
Chapter 118
Like any game, the role of a healer was very important in Satisfy . They were indispensable for stable party hunting and the success of a raid . In Satisfy, the healers were priests who served Rebecca, the goddess of light . Only those who served Rebecca could become acquainted with Heal .
“Looking for a priest to finish the Dunpapa raid in two minutes!”
“Looking for a priest for a party that has an average level of 150~”
“Priests! Please join the party! You will have priority on items!”
The popularity of priests was unimaginable . Unfortunately, the number of priests was very limited . It was very hard to become a priest of the Rebecca Church . Dating was forbidden and there was a series of hardships such as praying for days, intermittent silence, and fasting .
There were jokes that the priest of the Rebecca Church were monks in reality . Therefore, most users were reluctant to become priests of the Rebecca Church and most Rebecca priests were NPCs .
“Sigh… There are no priests today . ”
“We have to go to the temple again to hire a priest . ”
Parties looking for priests had to visit the Rebecca Church . Then they had to pay a large sum in donations to hire NPC priests . These actions repeated, so the Rebecca Church gained tremendous wealth . The high priests of the Rebecca Church, known for their integrity, were overwhelming without knowing .
It was the current pope who led to all of this . Drevigo, the 13th pope of the Rebecca Church, was a far cry from the first clergymen . He was eager to meet his individual needs .
After he became the pope . He understood the market and built up wealth by turning the priests into a commodity . He provided incense to the high priests and corrupted them, committing all types of wrongdoings with them .
As a result, the Rebecca Church fell over time and became a symbol of decadence .
“There is no answer . ”
In this place, there was a beautiful girl who had a habit of sighing . Her name was Isabel . She was one of Rebecca’s Daughters, the ultimate paladins of the Rebecca Church, and the master of the Lifael Spear .
She shuddered as she listened to the noises coming from the pope from her room .
“The supposedly divine presence is shaking his waist like a dog every night . ”
The priest Cassus paid attention to her . “Shh . Your words aren’t appropriate for a virgin of sacred light . ”
Isabel frowned . “Then what should I say? Our pope is engaging in sexual intercourse every night… Oof! Oof!”
In the end, Cassus blocked Isabel’s mouth with his hand . He nervously looked at the hot-tempered Isabel .
“I can’t speak in front of His Holiness, and now I can’t even complain behind his back?”
“…His Holiness has eyes and ears everywhere . Please be careful . ”
“Che…!”
The two people were talking when the pope came to visit .
“It’s noisy . Were you cursing at me?”
The pope opened the door and appeared naked . His sweaty skin shone in the moonlight . Despite turning 60 the day after tomorrow, he had elastic skin and a healthy body .
Isabel and Cassus bowed .
“It is great to see Your Holiness . ”
“Isabel, you look as beautiful as ever . ”
Pope Drevigo smiled and touched Isabel’s hair like she was precious . Isabel felt ashamed and bit her lip . She wanted to shake off the pope’s hand . But she didn’t dare, so she swallowed down her rage . She carefully pleaded .
“Your Holiness, surely you are busy with those prostitutes in your bed? Is it okay to leave them to come to talk to me?”
“Huhu, no matter your position, isn’t it too much to insult me?”
The smiling pope pulled his hand away from Isabel’s hair . The other person was the pope, so Isabel didn’t dare show her distaste .
“I have figured out why the Yatan Church wants the Divine Shield . There is a phenomenon where the Divine Shield can be imbued with dark magic power . Then the enormous divine power of the Divine Shield will be converted to dark magic . The Yatan Church are thinking of turning the Divine Church into their weapon . ”
The pope showed interest . “Darkness dwells where there is light… In fact, doesn’t divine power and dark power have a good compatibility?”
“We must take steps to prevent them from ever getting their hands on the Divine Shield . ”
“We’ll have to recall all of them back . ”
The method of making the Divine Shield had been spread to some countries and families close to the Rebecca Church . In the first place, a Rebecca priest was needed to help make the Divine Shield . It was impossible for a blacksmith to make it alone, so the church grasped why, when, who and which priest was used to help build the Divine Shield . It wouldn’t be difficult to reclaim the Divine Shields .
“I will direct the paladins to collect the Divine Shield from each country and family . ” Isabel said .
“Let other people do the menial work . I have something else for you to do . ”
“…?”
The pope made a meaningful expression . “I received a divine message last night . Goddess Rebecca said that one of her daughters will betray me sooner or later . ”
“What does that mean?”
What did he mean by that? Isabel had an ominous feeling and stiffened, while the pope ordered with a cool smile .
“Get Rin . She is surely the traitor that the goddess spoke of . I intend to punish her . ”
Isabel didn’t agree . “Rebecca’s Daughters are only loyal to Goddess Rebecca and Your Holiness! There are no traitors among us . ”
“Rin is at a temple in a small village and hasn’t responded to my call three times . How can she do that unless she is thinking about betraying me?”
In the end, Isabel couldn’t hide her anger .
“Surely she has a reason for not responding to your call! Your Holiness! Are you sure the divine message given to you is correct? Your Holiness, I didn’t know you could hear divine messages!”
“How presumptuous!”
The pope grabbed Isabelle’s throat with one hand . Then he spoke in a menacing manner .
“My will is the will of Goddess Rebecca . Do you distrust me?”
Isabel had been raised in the church . Like any other priest or paladin, she had been trained to have absolute loyalty to Goddess Rebecca and the pope . It was a type of brainwashing, so she couldn’t defy the pope, even if she was inherently free-spirited .
“…I believe you . ” Isabel barely managed to say . Then the pope released the hand that was choking her . He gave her a friendly smile that seemed creepy .
“I will give you two days . Bring Rin back here . ”
Kwang!
The pope ordered her and left the room . Cassus, who had been bowing the whole time, hurried got up . He carefully reached out to Isabel and said .
“…What will you do?”
Isabel was silent for a while after the pope’s visit . Then she dropped her head and said in a weak voice .
“What can I do? I have to do as he says . ”
Rin also a Rebecca’s Daughter . The pope might be garbage and the church fallen, but there was no way Rin would betray them . Rin probably couldn’t endure the rotten church and was wandering for a while .
