Faith Life of a Former Scammer

117. does it work?

“The first dungeon is a trap type dungeon. It is a dungeon of death littered with all sorts of traps. You will definitely need to bring an expert with you.”

“We intend to send individuals, not teams. It’s the best when it comes to secrecy.”

“But you can’t succeed that way. The medium of the seal was hidden by the fairies for the survival of their race. It seems impossible to me.”

Even at the gatekeeper’s words, Leon did not change his mind.

“You don’t have to worry. That should be enough.”

“Ha, but… … .”

Even when Leon said he was okay, his expression was still dark.

It seemed to creak from the start.

‘The atmosphere is perfect!’

All was according to plan.

Making the impossible possible is what people usually call a ‘miracle’.

“The gatekeeper.”

Leon looked into the gatekeeper’s eyes and called out to him.

“I am a priest.”

[Unique skill: Persuasion of the Parish is activated.]

At the same time, the skill was activated.

Divine power secretly spread and changed the atmosphere of Leon.

The atmosphere of Leon, who had only been mild and gentle, changed to a noble and sacred.

“As the gatekeeper gave me faith, our priests send faith to God.”

He nodded his head as if possessed.

“Sometimes God gives assurances to priests.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I am certain that none of this is a coincidence.”

Of course, it was bullshit.

I was cheating on the gatekeeper.

“The Gatekeeper must have felt the elves and the World Tree and came here to Killica.”

“That’s right.”

“Then the day of flowering opened, and you would have decided to trust me.”

“you’re right.”

It seems like a natural flow, but if you look closely, it is heterogeneous.

Why did I suddenly have faith?

Because it was forced to happen because of persuasiveness, it is somewhat heterogeneous.

“He even revealed to me a secret he had kept for a long time, and even asked me.”

As Leon’s words continued, his expression changed.

‘It’s a persuasion trap. Is it strange when you think about it? It’s strange how things progress so quickly.’

He was confused and couldn’t even answer.

To him who was confused, Leon threw a plausible excuse.

“I call this God’s plan.”

“God’s plan… … .”

You can’t just say it’s God’s plan.

“The wise man said it was the pull of fate, and the elves said it was the will of the world tree.”

Thanks to faith, this heterogeneous situation is transformed into a ‘special’ situation.

“Whatever you call it, it doesn’t matter. What this brings is what matters.”

“… … you’re right.”

Bullshit also changes when there are results.

The result of the sage and the elf made Leon’s bullshit plausible.

“Every time I felt God’s plan, I saved the wise man and saved the elves. Even then, I was reckless, and I wasn’t ready.”

“That word… … .”

Finally, the gatekeeper got his senses.

“I am confident now. I am convinced that this may all be God’s plan.”

Leon said with a firm expression.

“So, why don’t you trust me and see the results?”

“… … No matter how much I think about it, I think it’s impossible to clear that dungeon alone. However, on the contrary, I want to believe in the parish priest.”

Hogu sat down at the table.

Now we just need to show the results.

“I will repay that trust.”

* * *

A few days later, Leon and the gatekeeper met again. As soon as he met, he asked Leon with a serious face.

“I didn’t expect you to call me so early. Did you fail after all?”

“no.”

“So, did you give up halfway?”

“Not even that.”

At Leon’s answer, his expression changed little by little, then he took on a look of astonishment.

“Stop, no way!?”

Leone smiled and took out a broken slate.

“Is this the medium for sealing?”

“Oh my gosh… … .”

He didn’t even answer, he took the slate and started looking around.

“The medium of the seal is certain. Are you really successful!?”

“Yes. It worked.”

“It would have been absolutely impossible on your own, how did you succeed?”

Rion recalled the time she received a report from Black.

‘How did you do it?’

‘I just thought it would work?’

It was such an absurd, lie-like answer.

Thanks to you, I couldn’t tell you the truth.

“It was possible because I believed that all of this was God’s plan.”

“ah… … .”

I had no choice but to gloss over it by saying that it was all because of my faith.

“But the second dungeon is more difficult. I heard that this place is teeming with bizarre monsters. It won’t be easy this time.”

Wouldn’t it be really easy?

It didn’t look like Leon.

‘Even if it’s just what I got this time… … .’

Black was really great.

In order to survive entering a dangerous dungeon, he pulled out his skills. The skills he pulled out like that were passed on to Leon through membership registration.

[I have learned part of danger detection.]

[I have learned part of the sense of bristles.]

[Part of concentration has been acquired.]

[You have learned part of instinctive judgment.]

… … .

The numerous skills that were handed down in that way soon merged into one.

[Skill: Intuition acquired.]

With only a fraction of what Black gained, he was able to acquire a skill called ‘Intuition’.

What Black gained couldn’t compare to Leon. This is why I cleared the dungeon alone.

“it’s okay.”

“It won’t compare to the first one. This is really impossible.”

Despite being told that this time it was really dangerous, Leon was not nervous.

“Look at me.”

“Oh, this one really doesn’t work… … .”

What can’t happen?

After a few days, the results came out quickly.

* * *

Leone met the gatekeeper again in less than a week.

“Second vehicle destroyed.”

“… … how the hell… … .”

Even Lyon couldn’t explain this. It just happens, but how can I explain it?

It was just a cross sign.

“This is faith.”

Added a spoonful of fraudulent seaweed to the seaweed pretending to be sacred.

However, the gatekeeper’s worries were not over.

There is still one more dungeon left.

“The third is a complex dungeon. This includes traps, monsters, and mental attacks… … It is an atrocious dungeon.”

The third and final dungeon.

“It is a really difficult place that cannot be compared to previous dungeons. It will be different this time.”

Even when the gatekeeper said no, Leone wasn’t nervous at all.

‘How come the level of difficulty gradually goes up, but the tension goes down?’

difficult. Even if it is different, how many times? I wasn’t even nervous anymore.

“Everything will be done according to God’s plan. It’s like fate. You will be able to witness the ‘miracle’ of destroying all media and releasing the seal.”

To Leon, this situation was like a miracle.

Black is ‘training’, the gatekeeper is ‘resolving the seal’, and Leon is getting ‘benefit’ throughout.

‘This is a miracle!’

No one lost, and this situation, where everyone benefited, was a miracle.

‘Every time I clear a dungeon one by one, I get a skill.’

After clearing the second dungeon.

Like the first one, a skill was created.

[Skill: Weakness Identification has been acquired.]

Like a battle-type dungeon, I was able to acquire battle-related skills.

‘What’s coming out third?’

Clearing the third dungeon was no longer a problem. Now the question is what to get here.

‘Black, I only believe in you!’

After ten days like that.

[Skill: Prediction has been learned.]

I was able to acquire a new skill. This also meant that the third seal had also been broken.

After completing the mission, Black immediately returned with the medium.

“Have you been well?”

“ah. Yes. I had a good trip.”

Black was always thirsty for victory. There was no desire or desire to win in his expression.

“You seem somehow comfortable?”

“Yes. It’s a bit strange to say, but I was able to enjoy the game to the fullest.”

A face like a sage, devoid of any desire.

‘There’s no way there’s no limit.’

It seemed like there was a usage limit that had to be used after a certain period of time, like the ability limit to be activated only when it was dangerous.

“You won’t think about winning for a while.”

“Yes. Well, I feel like I shouldn’t be watching the game right now. It needs some kind of digestion time.”

Black seemed to need time to use his powers again.

“You worked hard. I think you can take a good rest and check what you learned from this trip.”

“Is that okay?”

“Absolutely. What you have done so far has been of great help.”

“It was a good thing, and I’m glad it helped. Well, I’ll take a little break anyway. Thank you very much.”

You who worked hard, rest!

It was a perfect fit for Black.

‘He did more than expected.’

It was enough just to clear the dungeon, but they made me a skill. It was okay to take a break.

‘Then, shall we go get the real thing?’

Now it’s time to break the seal.

* * *

The gatekeeper was called and informed that the third seal had been broken.

“Here, the last medium.”

Leone took out a third medium and placed it on the table.

The gatekeeper’s eyes trembled mercilessly.

“Even the third dungeon… … .”

Being the gatekeeper, he knew how absurd this was.

Even if it’s a coincidence once or twice, three times can never be a coincidence.

“This is God’s plan… … .”

In a moment, the gatekeeper’s expression changed dynamically.

“President. This… … It is a miracle.”

The seal was lifted in the shortest period of time with the minimum number of people.

[The persuasion target is convinced.]

[The persuasion target agrees.]

[The subject has been persuaded.]

he’s completely gone

“We made it together.”

“… … I haven’t done anything.”

It was true. He just gave information and did nothing.

Of course, I couldn’t tell you the truth.

“You believed in me and told me about the seal. God can only give you a plan, don’t intervene. The beginning of all this was the gatekeeper’s goddess.”

“thank you. Thank you very much!”

The reason I comforted him was that the time after releasing the seal was more important.

From now on, this is the real point.

“Guardian. It’s not all over yet. It may be just the beginning.”

“Yes?”

Just because the seal is released doesn’t mean that ‘everyone lived happily~’.

“If this is God’s plan, what about after this?”

“no way… … Are you saying the plan has just begun?”

Leon nodded.

“After the fairies are unsealed, do you have any plans for how they will live?”

“That, that… … .”

No such plan could have existed. Even if there was, it couldn’t have been easy.

“As expected, I thought finding an elf on the continent was the condition for releasing the seal, is that correct?”

“There are a few more conditions, but broadly they are similar.”

It was just as I thought.

The proof that the continent has become peaceful after the war is over is the ‘Discovery of the Elves’.

“Unsealing is just the beginning, the real problem comes after that.”

“… … you’re right.”

“Isn’t it for this next time that God made a plan so that the gatekeeper and I can meet?”

The gatekeeper understood Leon’s words perfectly.

He knelt down in front of Leon.

“It’s a shameless request, but could you help me one more time? Please help the fairies!”

This is what I have been working on so far.

“I will guide the fairies in a good direction.”

“Thank you very much!”

The only thing a fairy who has been sealed for hundreds of years can trust is the gatekeeper.

Such a gatekeeper asked Leon.

“I will move quickly. Let’s go break the seal.”

“Yes!”

Acquired the ‘qualification’ that can determine the future course of fairies.

Now it’s time to meet the fairies.
