บท 196: chapter 106 Encounter 5
Encounter (5) (5)
"No. "What could be better?"
Even if he wasn't a priest, the fact that he had studied the language showed that he was sincerely eager.
I answered calmly and continued scanning the materials before asking a notion that came to me.
"May I assist you?"
"···········?"
"It's about structuring these sutras so that they may be duplicated." According to the records, it just takes a long time, although it appears to be a straightforward and not very tough work."
At first look, it appeared to be a simple issue of sorting and categorising the scriptures.
As a result, it was a work that anybody, even non-members, could do if they could understand adult language.
Thein blinked and responded.
"That's correct, but I'm still asking Ethan-san to do it..."
"You've provided me with a great deal of convenience; wouldn't this be difficult?" And that's okay because I'm saying it because I truly want to give it a go."
My everyday routine consisted of lazing in bed or admiring the beauty in the monastery yard.
It was exhausting to waste so much time doing nothing.
And, as I already stated, I owed the monks a great deal, but this type of assistance was not inconsequential.
"Wouldn't the priest merely check one more time if I divided the servings in half and organised them?"
Tane appeared to be in trouble for a brief while.
But, seeing small black circles beneath his eyes appeared to be a helping hand he couldn't turn down while he was still active.
He nodded and grinned right away.
"Okay. Then I'd want to ask you a question. Thank you a lot."
***
I returned to my room, handing Thein the scriptures, paper, and pen.
I sat down at a desk on the other side of the room and got right to work.
He spread out the sutras on one side, a sheet of paper on the other, and wrote them down with an ink-dipped pen.
'Even if it's a lengthy one, it'll be over tomorrow.'
Locate, classify, and record verses.
It was similar to manual labour, but it was significantly less time-consuming and productive than doing nothing.
It was also enjoyable to go over each passage of the Bible one by one.
I suddenly finished one half of the page and took a pause to think about it.
'It's God...'
There were numerous religions on Earth, but religion had to have a completely different feel in this environment.
They truly believed in and served a transcendent entity with a distinct existence.
Rael, the god of light.
The Rael Church, which worships him, is the only denomination that is accepted by everyone in the Rasa worldview.
It was also Saintea's official religion, and it was impossible to find someone who did not believe in Rael, at least not inside the area of Saintea.
There was a clear cause and a beginning point for the Raelian religion being much stronger than in the past and having more solid conviction in the presence of a deity in which they believed.
The Great Demon Powers Invasion and the Arrival of the Holy Sword.
With a single blade, that transcendent entity performed a miracle on mankind in the depths of despair, when nothing but annihilation awaited.
And the game of battle was flipped entirely upside down.
With transcendental might, the single human selected by the Holy Sword dispersed the black clouds that had spread throughout the continent, and mankind ultimately succeeded in sealing the demon king and drove the demons out.
'Warrior.'
The current keeper of the holy sword, a being universally regarded as a great hero.
In the official setting, she was the most powerful person in the Entire world.
The presence of such a hero could be described as the central axis for balancing the current four major forces.
While the hero was still alive and healthy, the great Calderic did not attack Seintea and maintained a certain amount of calm on the surface, and demonic forces with higher strength over such Calderic did not run rampant.
Thus, when the hero vanished, it was expected that a massive disorder would erupt on the continent.
And there wasn't much time left until that.
She was still losing her vigour as a result of the results of the final battle with the Demon King.
"······Well."
When I considered it up to that point, I felt like I was in a funny situation for nothing.
Now is not the time to be relaxed, but what are you doing to order your sutras properly?
I need to get my body back as soon as possible and see Ashel...
Bump.
When Inkichik reached the room, the door swung open without a knock.
"Dinner."
Elika was the one.
She whispered, came to the desk, and placed the food she was holding in her hand on the desk.
I hurriedly tucked the paper away since the soup liquid almost splattered on it when I set it down without thinking. And inquired, frowning.
"How come you?
"
Initially, there was just one nun who brought meals every time, so I was surprised to see this man.
Elica shrugged as she swallowed the bread she was munching.
"I got stuck on the way to pick it up instead." That irritates me as well. Anyhow, have fun."
"Thank you very much."
"How do you deal with a stack of sutras?"
"
Her eyes was drawn to the texts and the paper I was writing on.
"Is that it?" Sorting through the sutras that will be copied. Some priests have been labouring long and hard."
"okay."
"What are you doing?"
"
"I'm in debt, so I'm simply trying to help."
She shook her head.
"But can you read adult language?"
"
"okay."
"How? You were a priest as well? "
"not."
"How do you read it then?"
"
"I have studied languages individually because I am interested in them."
Don't be a nuisance, and leave.
But she didn't walk out and look around, not knowing where else the worthless interest might be found.
"But, uncle."
"···········?
"
"Are you really going to keep it hidden until the end?" Why did you trip and fall in the woods? "
I grimaced at it.
He insisted on asking me about it every time we met.
"I should have said I'm not sure, but I'm not sure how many times I have to say it."
"Of course, that's a lie."
"That's correct. How long will you cling to and hang on to? "
She drew her arms together.
"I can't take any more of your inquiries." No matter how you look at it, you appear suspicious. He had poured so much blood that there were no wounds on his body, and he was nude and barefoot."
There was a lot of blood, yet the absence of wounds was due to extraordinary regeneration.
I was particularly pulled to that section, believing I was still concealing something.
'Of sure, he is concealing himself.'
Of course, I had no intention of saying anything, so I simply disregarded it.
I won't listen no matter what I say.
Elika clicked her tongue and returned her attention to the paper she was writing on.
She said again after a little pause.
"I'm not sure why they use these characters individually, ignoring the continent's official language." It's very difficult, takes a long time to master, and is completely useless."
I stared at her, little perplexed.
"Can a priest say anything like that?"
"
"I haven't been baptised yet, therefore I'm not an official church member."
"Well, that won't happen in the future." Do you really want to be a paladin? "
"·······What? What is its identity? "
"Sometimes I believe it's like listening in on your pals' talks."
She scowled and flatly denied it.
"No, it isn't. Why do you trust what your son says, Tom? "
"I couldn't believe it and asked."
"No. Even if it isn't a paladin, it will most likely be a member of the religion. There is nowhere to go outside of the monastery."
So it was implying that I would join a religion only to make a living.
I'm curious about the sort of person who can't be found in a religious word, therefore I added the following words.
"First and foremost, I don't believe in God."
"············".
What else is there to say?
I gradually became inquisitive, so I inquired.
"Do you mean you don't believe in God... do you mean you don't believe in God's existence?"
"
Elika made a shaky motion with her head.
"That's not the case. The hero did really obtain the holy sword from the deity of light."
"right."
"I just don't get it." God spared mankind, yet conflict killed so many people. Why did God only provide assistance after so many lives had been lost? "
Honestly, I'm not sure either.
It's because the game's plot never disclosed the explanation in depth.
"If God truly has all-powerful ability and can save people without any sacrifice, then why should I be in awe of such a being?" Do I really need to thank you? "
Her drooping eyes obscured the tail of her horse.
"Every time I mention this, the priests and nuns all say the same thing. God is just putting us through trials and tribulations."
"············".
"But for what the heck is it a test?" Does it even bring back the dead when they survive the ordeal? What good is all of that to people who have already lost their most valuable possession? "
His voice was tired, yet he was starting to become angry.
I locked my gaze on her.
She pursed her lips and abruptly changed the subject, as if to be impolite.
"That is exactly that. So, what are your thoughts on God? "
"I don't give it much thought."
The transcendence who bestowed the holy sword on the warrior, the sole deity in the Rasa worldview.
And the key that may provide me with an answer to this planet and my current circumstances.
That was all I knew about the light deity Rael.
"What exactly is it?" "I expressed my earnestness, yet the response was not sincere."
Elica pressed her lips together.
I inquired of her.
"By the way, is it appropriate to talk to an outsider like me like that?"
"
"What exactly is it. Do you not believe in God? "
"okay."
"This is something I'm doing since I'm a foreigner." So, should I act this way in front of the priests? "
That's everything for now.
"Well, where are you going to discuss it?"
"
"No way."
"And it makes no difference whether you say it or not. Even if I've never stated it out, most people in the monastery are aware of my warped personality."
She raised her back, leaning on the edge of the desk, as if all she had to say had been spoken.
"In any case, enjoy your lunch." I've been telling you worthless stories."
"Oh, I see..."
I questioned her about something I had forgotten.
"You mentioned before that you shouldn't walk deep into the woodland behind the monastery. What is the explanation behind this? "
"Oh... is that it?"
"
She responded by scratching the back of her neck.
"To be honest, neither do I. Monsters are said to reside deep in the woodland."
"······monster?
"
"Priests and paladins have vanished without a trace in the forest countless times before." As a result, no one ventures into the forest's depths."
