How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 236, a servant from the Empire who suddenly jumped in will urgently report something to the Emperor. Spirit Conference (2) The public can guess what kind of misunderstanding it will cause if it goes wrong, but it doesn't matter.

I don't know.

It would be enough if we just put together a plausible reason for meddling with Pena.

Anyway, because of the previous revelations, strange rumors continue to circulate in the world.

Pena, who can't be aware of that, is just quietly escaping from reality.

The emperor was also taken aback for a moment, then spoke again.

“Is that so… One thing is different from that. I will sternly protest against Pena for teaching her evil skills!”

what? what the.

All I can say is protest.

So why don't you try it for real?

“I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I'll make one correction. It's true that I taught spiritism, but that was only because I thought it was a waste of her undiscovered talent.”

“What a waste! What nonsense is that!

Genga knows what kind of existence a spirit lord is!”

First of all, raise your voice and watch it.

Apparently, from the beginning, the emperor thought of putting the blame on me for this incident.

Actually, from the beginning, I was going to hand over the handling of Pena to me before sparks flew in the Holy Land.

“What kind of existence… I see. First of all, we need to address that first. Isn't that right, saintess?”

“....well.”

Nelvenia deliberately kept quiet.

“Did I say that elementalists are a heresy that must be eradicated according to the commandment given directly by Genarenia, the god enshrined in the Zelnian Holy Kingdom? Is that correct?”

“That's right.”

The saintess briefly admitted.

Because it is also true in doctrine.

“That's why we can't help but say that it's very regrettable in our church that Princess Pena opened her eyes to the qualities of a Elementalist.”

This is also a first look at Pena.

The priests who were watching the meeting also seemed to agree, ‘That's right!'

No, save him, you gentlemen.

What kind of neighborhood book is he?

Feeling fed up with their blatant attitude, I decided to protect the spirit issue first.

“That is only limited to those who simply have faith in worshiping the spirits, wouldn't it be too much to apply purely to the spirits themselves?”

“What does that mean?”

“That doctrine was written more than 500 years ago. At that time, there were indigenous peoples who believed in spirits in the territory of the Holy Kingdom.”

It remains intact in the records.

A nation that believes in spirits.

It is said that the entire clan had a natural tribe as elementalists.

And the tribe and the early kingdom must have had quite a conflict.

“I believe that conflict is the cause.”

In the process of conflict, he must have tried to drive out those who somehow expressed antipathy toward him as heretics.

I am guessing that is the cause of the doctrine now.

Because, after all, doctrine is what humans use.

God wants

It's not even funny.

....Of course, there's no way they'll admit it if I say it this far, so I deliberately spoke in a roundabout way.

“Perhaps the heresy that the god is talking about refers to them, not purely to drive out the spirits themselves.”

“Is that your opinion, Arele Ernesia?”

“That's right. Therefore, according to my opinion, the current elemental magicians cannot be heretics. Elementals themselves are not evil. It's just a being with a will in the mana floating in the air.

If you call it evil, would you call all living things evil?”

“Sophistry.”

“But that is the reality.”

That much means that their doctrine is contradictory.

“In the first place, according to the doctrine, heretics are evil, and the spirit itself is evil, isn't it? Then it would be right to reexamine the doctrine sufficiently.”

He quietly submitted a compromise.

“At least, if you announce it like that, the people will understand.”

Right now, she wouldn't want to argue with me either.

In reality, she pretended to listen to my opinion, pretended to be moderately stubborn, and then tried to take a step back.

But what about the other guys?

“Uh hmm! However, the miracle of the saintess can definitely drive out the spirits.

If so, aren't spirits definitely evil?”

Who said this now?

The only ones speaking are the current emperor, me, Pena, and the saintess.

If someone else intervenes, you will immediately get attention.

In particular, the saintess glared at him as if he was troublesome.

All in all, the person on their side threw a thoughtless remark.

“...The position of Priest Kellyus is the seat. Please refrain from making rash remarks.”

“this! Stop making mistakes... I apologize for the rudeness. But isn't it true? Until now, the saintess has driven out the spirits of countless spirits. If the spirits aren't evil, why can't they survive the saintess' miracle?”

Fanatics are so scary.

I can't understand the atmosphere.

Thank you, Priest Kellyus.

It's worth it for sending me a box of gold a few months ago to say hello.

Now you will be branded for the rest of your life as a blind fanatic.

what about it Thanks to that, I received a present enough to not have to worry about making a living.

Whoop whoop whoop. I'm glad I bought it.

As with all politics in any country, Seongguk is no exception.

Not all priests are on the side of the saintess.

There are bound to be people who are dissatisfied with the fact that an excessively honest image was imposed on them.

It is so simple to entice them into betraying them.

“It's a miracle... that's right. I've heard rumors that the saintess' power cannot withstand those who are wicked like the devil.”

“…not quite like that.”

“In front of the saintess' miracle, even that spirit king would not dare to demonstrate his power.”

‘Kelius!!' For some reason, it was as if I could hear the voice of the saintess shouting.

In the end, the ignorant priest was dragged out.

great job? I barely resisted the urge to shake my hand.

Your appropriate intervention made it easier to move on to the next topic.

“Certainly, that is a problem I have not considered.”

“Arel Ernesia....

“Isn't it? If miracles are true, then even the King of Spirits would not be able to withstand the power of a righteous saint.”

Words, once spoken, cannot be undone.

Even if it's not what he said.

“It will be just the right proof.”

“…What are you thinking?”

Nelvenia's voice trembled faintly.

Soon enough, she would notice.

Their priest's betrayal and my ploy to take advantage of it.

“It is a good opportunity. How about having one more person here?”

“Who are you talking about?”

the emperor asked plaintively.

“Aren’t the human intestines gathered together? Oh I'm just a prince So, of course, shouldn’t we also listen to the position of the spirit?”

“The Spirit’s position? I don't know what you're talking about. Are you trying to tell Pena to call a spirit?”

“As expected, His Majesty the Emperor. I thought you would understand my intentions at once!”

“But I know that spirits… can’t communicate properly.”

“no. Communication is possible when you reach a higher level. And the person Pena will call is even more special, so don't worry.

He must be the right opponent.”

I smiled and said his name.

“Since it's a good opportunity, let's call the Spirit King.”

For an instant, the chairman was agitated.

“The Spirit King? Did you say you were the Spirit King?”

The emperor's face was dazed as if he were thinking of a carp, and the saintess was also sweating profusely.

“Arel, are you calling?”

“What shall I call you? You know, I can't even use magic.”

The public-known theory of my mana eunuch is still valid.

Well, I don't think anyone mentions it these days.

“Of course, she is the one who summons the Spirit King.”

I deliberately pointed at Pena with a glance and said.

I've already told her about this procedure, so I'm trying hard to stay calm.

“Yes, I can call... I can.”

The smoke is a little disappointing, but it doesn't matter.

“You're joking too much... I heard that even in the history of the past hundreds of years, there was hardly anyone who could summon the Spirit King. No, that's impossible!”

huh? Why did the saintess' complexion look so pure white?

Do you feel like you're freaking out more than necessary?

I didn't miss the change.

“Saint? That rare talent is what this princess has.”

Here is the Elementalist who makes the impossible possible.

The saintess's lips dry up in real time.

Are you getting more bite than expected?

Meanwhile, the emperor also showed interest in that.

“Is that true, Pena?”

“Yes, it is.”

He nodded his head as he had prepared the script beforehand and carefully asked permission to call it out.

“However, there is only one existence that I can summon, the Fire Spirit King. Even so, he is the king of spirits. In the aftermath of the call, the chairman may be a little upset, so I ask for your understanding in advance.”

Everyone just nodded their heads without saying anything.

I'm just encouraging them to do it with their eyes.

Pena let out a sigh as if resigned to something.

However, to those who do not know the circumstances, it may seem pious.

It'll look like you're prepared for something.

Resigned to the point of resignation, she pretended to recite a phrase.

“One of the great kings who reigns over pure nature. Let your fire manifest here and now.”

Actually, I don't need that order.

But can't you just grab someone's head and pull them out?

Then, I feel the sign of a large amount of mana reacting to the sacred object of the spirit given to her.

Those who could sense mana widened their eyes in horror.

He must have noticed the sudden change that was about to happen.

right after that.

An unusual flame soared in the middle of the table.

Oh oh! It's a fire show!

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

Some of the less courageous could not hold back their screams.

“...Hmm! This is pretty extreme.”

Even the emperor is stunned and barely keeps his face.

The flame soon takes shape and gradually takes shape as a fire giant.

It is not in the restricted form as I have previously called it.

Fully summoned full power mode.

A real man who is stronger and full of power... No, he is a normal spirit.

Right.

If summoned properly, would such a muscular giant pop out?

[...Summoner.]

I haven't seen a red tiger in a while... No, the fire spirit king solemnly raised his voice.

[Responded to the call according to the agreement.]

When the Spirit King appeared, groans of astonishment flowed from all over the venue.

Among them, “Oh my God, it was real….

” I heard the voice of someone who was surprised.

If only low-level spirits were summoned, it would have been regarded as a trivial joke, but what was summoned was none other than the spirit king.

At first, those who looked down on the Elemental Sage, wondering how great it was, looked at Pena nervously.

Now I couldn't simply ignore her.

Both from a position of power and from future political issues.

Perhaps even the current emperor wouldn't be able to say anything bad to Pena at this point.

It's because the King of Spirits is glaring at you.
