Chapter 1123: Prophecy (1)
When we came out, everyone was surprised to see us since it hadn't been that long since we had gone into the room.
The captain of the knights seemed like he wanted to ask Saintess Irene what happened, but she shook her head to show that it wasn't the right time before leading the way for me.
Klein and the others looked at me with questioning looks as if they were asking me what happened, but I also ignored them as I followed behind Saintess Irene.
Unlike the knights that couldn't leave their positions, Klein and the others followed behind
me.
Though there were still confused looks that were on their faces as they followed behind me. However, since neither Saintess Irene and I said anything, they could only follow behind me with these confused looks.
"Go and report to the council." The captain of the knight said as he watched them walk away and one of the knights quickly ran off to report this matter.
Saintess Irene didn't seem to hesitate at all as she led the way forward.
After walking for a bit, we finally arrived at our destination.
It was a set of doors that seemed to be quite simple, but there was also this feeling of holiness that came from them. Or it was better to say that there was this feeling of holiness that was coming from behind these doors.
When we arrived, Saintess Irene suddenly stopped and turned around to say, "We're here." Though she said this, she was looking at me as if there was something that she wanted to ask. It wasn't just her that was looking at me like this, Klein and the others were also looking at me like this. They could see the way that Saintess Irene was looking at me, so they knew that I must have been the one that wanted to come to this place.
At the same time, there were others that were around the area that were also looking at me with strange looks.
These were people that worked in this main church and tended to this chapel, so they had been going about their business until they recognized Saintess Irene.
Since Saintess Irene was leading the way for me, they looked at me with strange looks as if they wanted to know what I was doing.
I didn't say anything as I just looked at the doors in silence for a bit before asking, "Can I go in and have a look?"
Saintess Irene was caught off guard by this question, but she slowly gave a nod in response. I didn't care about the way that she looked at me as I went forward to push the doors open. When they opened, I saw the chapel for myself.
It was a place that was very simple with just a few pews, a lectern, and a single statue.
This statue wasn't of a single god, but was a representation of all the gods. It was a generic looking statue that had a holiness to it that was hard to describe.
Since this was the main church that brought together all of the religions, naturally there wasn't a single god that was chosen to be worshipped inside of this chapel.
After taking a look around this chapel, I started moving forward down the aisle of this chapel until I was standing right in front of the statue. I looked up at the statue for a bit before looking down at my hand.
However, I was disappointed to see that there was no reaction from my hand at all.
The reason that I had asked to come to this place was because when the Mark of God lit up on my hand while I touched the Crown of Wisdom, I heard a voice.
It was a voice that I was familiar with and a voice that I hadn't heard in a while, but it wasn't a voice that belonged to this world.
It was a voice that belonged to a god.
It was Solista's voice that spoke in my mind.
"Go to the chapel."
That was what she had said to me.
I didn't know why she had suddenly said this to me, but since it was Solista...
I followed her words and came to this chapel, but now it didn't seem like anything was going to happen.
As I stood there in silence, I waited for anything to happen.
Only before something happened, there were sounds that came from behind me. It was the
sounds of someone, or rather a large group approaching.
I didn't get a chance to turn around as a voice said, "Holy son, what are you doing here? Aren't you going to the airship port to leave?"
It was the voice of the pope of the Solista Religion.
Even without turning around, I could guess that the others that came with him were the popes from the other religions.
The way that he said this had a trace of pleasant surprise in it.
Based on that I could tell that they had already heard about what happened with the Crown of God, so they were pleasantly surprised to see that I hadn't left yet. For them to come all together like this, I could already guess what they were planning to do.
It was just that none of them had the chance to say anything as the Mark of God suddenly lit up on my hand.
It seemed as if the Mark of God was reacting to the arrival of this group with the way that it suddenly lit up like this.
As if reacting to the Mark of God as well, the statue that was in the center of the chapel also started to light up. It was a faint glow at first, but it didn't take long before this glow became stronger and brighter.
It became so bright that it was almost too bright to look at.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
At the same time, it felt as if there was this holy sensation that came from this light.
"You're finally here."
