Faith Life of a Former Scammer

116. I don’t know what it is, I’m afraid

Leon asked with a serious expression.

“You need help?”

“That’s right!”

I couldn’t see the man’s expression because I had my head down, but I could feel his earnestness.

However, it was not something that could be done just because it was desperate.

“Thank you so much for trusting me and asking me for this. But before that, would you like to explain something?”

First of all, I had to know who the man in front of me was.

“Who are you?”

His body trembled at Leon’s words.

“It is not a tree. As a priest, it is natural that there are no restrictions on good deeds. I’m just curious about you who trust me so much.”

Hearing the calm and gentle words of Leon, he opened his mouth.

“Can I look up?”

“As much as you like. I am not one to rule or dominate. He is just someone who shares his beliefs with you.”

He slowly raised his head.

‘It doesn’t look special… … .’

Except for the sharp eyes, the man’s face was plain.

‘Am I just a pure human?’

I thought it might be a different race like an elf or a dwarf, but it didn’t seem like it.

“Could you pass someone on?”

Leon responded calmly, but inside he was startled.

‘I think I sensed the hidden Blade of Dawn agents?’

It was clear that this man had extraordinary skills.

“Everyone, please stay away for a while.”

These words were enough. Sensing that the members of the Blade of Dawn were withdrawing, the man opened his mouth.

“I am the gatekeeper of the sealed door.”

“A sealed door?”

“It’s not that I’ve sealed something dangerous. It is a seal to prevent invasion by humans.”

I got a rough feeling.

“You mean you sealed it to survive?”

“That’s right.”

It meant that they ran away from humans like dwarves and elves.

“Are you human?”

“Yes. I am human. I was just contracted to be a gatekeeper.”

It was expected what kind of contract it would be.

The gatekeepers weren’t there to keep the seal.

“Perhaps, when the moment to release the seal comes. Is it the gatekeeper’s job to break the seal?”

These were the ones who existed to break the seal.

“How to do it?!”

He replied, startled.

Leon didn’t answer, but gave a soft smile.

“… … That’s right. I came here to ask for the release of the seal.”

I was able to see the outline, but there were still things I didn’t understand.

‘There’s no way the Blade of Dawn did a rough investigation.’

The blade of dawn does not judge without reason. Since Lee Ja-ja acted suspiciously, he must have been judged as a spy.

“Could you be honest with me? Seems like a pretty complicated thing to ask of me in faith. Why did you ask me?”

“Our family received special powers by signing a contract as gatekeepers. So you can feel things that humans can’t.”

Unbelievable words came out of his mouth.

“Even though I couldn’t find it, I know that the elves and the World Tree are in Killika.”

The existence of the Elves and World Tree was Killika’s great secret, but there was no need to be embarrassed or wary.

‘I wonder why he was suspected of being a spy, but he went around looking for the world tree with the elves?’

Rather, it was proof that he was not lying.

“It seems that the people related to you are sealed away?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Finally, I was able to hear about the sealed existence.

“The one who sealed himself was a fairy.”

“A fairy? That little winged fairy?”

Legendary beings have reappeared.

“That I don’t know either. I’ve only heard of fairies, but I’ve never actually seen them.”

As if it wasn’t a legend for nothing, it was a fairy who had never even seen the gatekeeper who guarded the seal.

* * *

The gatekeeper’s request was clear.

[Mission: Unlock the fairy seal.]

[If the mission fails, destruction will be accelerated.]

Of course, breaking the seal wasn’t that simple.

“To break the seal, you must break 3 seals.”

“How?”

“The medium of the seal is hidden deep in the dungeon. Just destroy it.”

“Of course it must be dangerous.”

“That’s right.”

Since there were 3 seals, it meant that I had to break through 3 dungeons.

“Is there a time limit?”

“It is not. However, too many people should not be involved.”

“I know this is a secret. You don’t have to worry.”

His expression changed at Leon’s words.

“Are you saying you’ll listen to me?”

Leon nodded without hesitation.

“Thank you very much.”

“Because you trusted me. It is to repay that trust. Share your beliefs with each other. What I said on Flowering Day is not a lie.”

Of course, it was faith and Nabal, and I didn’t allow it for that reason.

There was a calculation here.

‘There’s nothing special about a family that has been active as a gatekeeper for a long time.’

Since he had the power, he would have been able to act as a gatekeeper.

“I will definitely break the seal.”

“If you need anything, I will support you with anything! Thank you very much!”

Quest reward? The gatekeeper will take care of that.

However, sucking in the short term is a bad idea.

“How can I expect anything in return for what I do with faith? it’s okay.”

Life must be taken long.

* * *

I received the mission, but Leon did not move.

‘I’m crazy? Why go to that dangerous place?’

In the first place, Leon had no intention of going to that dungeon.

‘There’s someone I can send instead.’

There was a talent who was the perfect fit for such a dangerous place.

‘We’ll have to wait a bit, but we have work to do anyway.’

Once we find the dungeon, can’t we send anyone there? Leon summoned the members of the Blade of Dawn.

“Please investigate these three places. It is a mission to find a hidden dungeon.”

“Yes!”

“Never go in. It’s dangerous.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

Agents were sent to search the dungeon.

This wasn’t normal either.

‘It takes more time than I thought?’

When you think about it, it was natural.

These dungeons were dungeons to hide the seal. Rather, it was a strange thing to stand out.

After a few days like that.

“Find point A! We have secured the route to the dungeon!”

A report came in that the first dungeon had been found.

The good news is that this is not all.

“Send someone to the secret haven now. You may open it.”

“Can I bring Black?”

“Yes.”

Black was learning the golden mercenary’s technique. He was the talent to explore the dungeon.

After the Blade of Dawn agent disappeared into the shadows, Leone’s gaze turned to the void.

‘I hope I did. Do you learn this?’

Black succeeded in learning the seniority method of the golden mercenary, which was called the seniority method of death.

The evidence was floating in front of my eyes.

[Partial success of the golden mercenary’s seniority method.]

[Skill: Acquired the incomplete golden mercenary’s seniority method.]

A message of success was delivered upon membership registration.

[Fury Road already exists.]

[Skill: The incomplete golden mercenary’s technique is absorbed into the Fury Road.]

[The Fury Road Manager’s authority is extended.]

Leone called Bixby right away.

‘Bixby. What do you think?’

[It’s best! This is a very unique practice.]

‘okay? Is there a difference?’

[This is a skill specialized for defense. Originally, it is a technique that emits an aura around the body and puts a shield on it.]

Leon pondered and opened his mouth.

‘Aura’s defense. Is it like a wizard’s barrier?’

[Yep! It’s like that! You can think of it as putting a barrier on your body.]

The story of the golden mercenary who was wearing gold and stirring up the enemy camp was a fairly famous story.

‘But what’s so dangerous about this that no one can learn?’

[The power of the aura must be spread evenly over the body, but this requires natural talent.]

‘What if I can’t spray it evenly?’

[pop! and explodes.]

‘This is why I’ll die if I learn it.’

This was a practice that required natural talent, not luck.

When I was checking my skills like that.

“President. Black has arrived.”

Black has arrived.

* * *

As soon as he arrived, he bent his back 90 degrees.

“thank you! The parish head!”

“Keep your head up. All achievements were won by myself.”

“That’s not it. The parish priest saved my life!”

“yes?”

I thought he was grateful for giving me the opportunity to learn the practice, but it wasn’t.

“I almost died while learning the exercises.”

It would have been.

He didn’t have great talent for aurors.

“At that time, the whole city started to ring. Like that heartbeat, it delivered a certain beat with a resonance.”

It seemed to be talking about the day of flowering.

‘Could it be that you clap your hands and stomp a little to get a chance?’

Leon’s prediction was correct.

“At that time, I was able to get a clue to learn this practice. constant rhythm and resonance. That was the point!”

I didn’t attend the Flowering Day, I just got a chance in the aftermath.

[Master, that is strange. This must be a temporary emission technology, but I don’t know if it can be implemented with beats and echoes.]

Not even in a sure way.

“I only found out when I came out. It was thanks to the parish priest’s hosting of the event. Thank you very much! You are my benefactor!”

Leon was smiling benevolently, but his heart was completely different.

‘I don’t know, what is it, that’s scary.’

One thing’s for sure, the guy’s ability was exactly what he thought.

Even if you face a crisis, you will win in the end.

Truly a talent no different from a warrior!

“I’m glad I was helpful. Did you enjoy this match?”

“It was really fun. It was incomparable to gambling.”

“I am very fortunate. I was worried that what I suggested might have been too much.”

“no! On the contrary, I want to ask for more! I want a new match!”

“Is that so? I can prepare it for you, but shouldn’t you take a break?”

“it’s okay. As I got older, my body actually got better!”

A gambling addict turned into a match addict.

‘great. I just need to throw it gently from here.’

Leon said with a worried expression.

“There are places to see the match. It’s also worth putting your newly acquired powers to the test. However, it is dangerous.”

His eyes twinkled at the danger.

“Is it very dangerous?”

“Yes. It’s so dangerous that you don’t want to go.”

Those words stirred up Black.

“Send me! I really want to go!”

“How about taking a little break?”

“no! We can leave right now!”

“It’s a place where you have to go alone, so I want you to be more prepared.”

“The preparations are already over! please! I want to go!”

Leon replied as if he couldn’t help it.

“Then, there is nothing special. Where to go now… … .”

unsealed?

Black will take care of it.
