Faith Life of a Former Scammer

194. dark orange

“The gates of hell are closed.”

Oren muttered calmly, holding on to his mask.

＜Is it the Bishop of Leone who closed the door?＞

An unusual dark voice came through the mask.

“okay. It seemed to have been closed.”

＜Ha. What about the key to the gates of hell?＞

“They say you’re going to be in hell.”

＜Crazy. Did you throw the key to hell? Couldn’t that be?＞

“They say it was possible because it was imperfect, but I don’t know for sure. The Bishop of Leone did not seem to want to leave any information related to that side to the continent.”

＜You are thorough. All projects related to the Gates of Hell must be canceled.＞

A project related to Hell’s Gate?

“I must have had more plans.”

＜Yes. There were plans to accelerate some disruption.＞

The correct answer was to quickly close the gates of hell and get out. It seemed that several plans on the dark side would be cancelled.

＜It’s okay though. I got what I got.＞

“Did you get something from Hell?”

＜Yes. Just as he planned, we have what we need.＞

As expected, the madman seemed to be the head of the dark side. The problem was then.

‘I would have returned only with the seal of hell?’

He said he was laughing like crazy, but it seemed certain he had gained something.

‘It won’t be like absorbing energy from hell. Then I think it’s right to see it as the authority side.’

What kind of power do you have?

This seemed to require more information.

“Good.”

Oren opened his mouth to gather more information.

＜No. It’s hard to say that it’s actually good. You took a lot of damage in the process of getting it.＞

“What about treatment?”

＜It’s hard. I don’t understand how you can get this kind of damage. I guess I should call it hell.＞

Hell, that was just a wound I got from going through the door.

“So what is the solution?”

＜I’m thinking of going into elixir manufacturing. Can you help me gather those ingredients?＞

“Was the elixir a real thing?”

Elixir, a legendary potion said to bring back the dead. I didn’t know that it would exist.

＜Yes. It is difficult to manufacture and requires a lot of materials, but it can be crafted.＞

Is it really supposed to be black?

These guys didn’t know anything.

The problem was that knowing too much made the job difficult.

“The effect of medicine is important, but wasn’t time the most important thing right now?”

＜… … That’s right.＞

“Gathering the ingredients for the elixir won’t be easy. Not to mention manufacturing.”

＜Exactly.＞

“Then, instead of looking for an elixir, you should look for something that is quick and has a similar effect, right? Is there anyone inside who wants his death?”

＜It’s not like that. There’s no way in the world that has an effect similar to an elixir, so I made this choice.＞

At that, Oren laughed.

It seems that Killika is not included in the world of darkness.

“It is in Killika. don’t forget Why do I have the Bishop of Leone?”

＜… … Is it possible?＞

Is it possible? Of course it is possible.

When it comes to treatment, there was no place to follow Killika. However, there was no need to tell the truth.

“It depends on what you guys can support.”

＜What if you could help me?＞

“It will be as close as possible.”

＜A meeting is required. We will contact you soon.＞

Darkness didn’t even listen to Oren’s answer, and cut off the connection.

‘Run, darkness. Guide me to the depths of the dark forces.’

Now all you have to do is wait.

If you’ve worked hard up until now, it’s time to check the truth of these guys.

* * *

A room full of pitch black darkness.

Darkness was exchanging messages with someone in the dark.

“Yes. We have obtained information from the vigilance that there is another way.”

“Actually, making an elixir is bound to take a long time. If there is another way now, shouldn’t we use it?”

“I’m not saying to give up elixir manufacturing. The idea is to push the boundaries while continuing to make the elixir.”

When Oren was told there was another way, he seemed to have found a way out.

However, it was felt that the person receiving the report was not happy with it.

“I know you didn’t like Boundaries in the first place. But, would you like to do that in the current situation? Ominous.”

It was frustrating. Darkness did not understand putting personal feelings into work.

At that moment, I remembered what Oren had said.

“no way… … Are you going to let him die? Do you need power?”

At that moment, a panicked woman’s voice continued through the mask.

A smile appeared on Dark’s face.

The leadership passed at once.

“Sorry, but I have to stop. I’ve revealed your plans, but I can’t stay here forever.”

She had no choice but to raise the white flag because she was driven to the perfect single shot.

“What do you want?”

Darkness remembered the time when it negotiated with Oren. If it were Oren, I would have said this now.

“Why are you asking me that? You should suggest what they can do for you.”

And added an explanation.

“I was told that the greater the support, the higher the success rate. ruler. Prove your innocence.”

It was the first time I had given this woman a shot. Might be a problem later, but that was fine.

‘Oren-nim never fails. I’m betting on a game now.’

If you save his life from this side, that woman will still be at your feet.

The power structure will change significantly.

For the darkness, now was the battleground.

“Why leave out the most important thing? Is it worth it? Is that why you’re pushing the elixir? Can we get the ingredients outside?”

Frosty words could be heard through the mask, but the dark smile only grew stronger.

Talking with Oren has always been a loss, but now it’s full of gains.

‘Easy, easy.’

Honestly, if there were only two more people like Oren, the empire would have collapsed long ago.

In the meantime, Lyon was also busy moving.

“Ed. Can you lend me a magic circle?”

“Like what?”

“Is there a healing magic circle that you said you made with the high priest?”

“That’s big.”

“Size doesn’t matter. Can you lend it to me?”

Ed happily nodded.

“You don’t have to ask Leon. Instead, ask for data after use.”

“Of course. Have you seen the material on the use of artifacts? I will write it down as thoroughly as possible.”

It’s data, Siri wrote it, so it was weird if you weren’t careful.

“yes. leon is the best It’s a big help.”

“Then, take the magic circle?”

“yes. Bring more artifacts.”

It was a consideration for Leone, and it was also a pressure to draw more data.

Seeing this, Leon burst out laughing.

“Okay. I’ll bring you all the data.”

“Have a safe trip.”

Of course, the magic circle was swallowed by Google. Starting with Ed, I went everywhere and gathered things I needed.

The most important of these was this. I gave his blood to the blood-eating children.

“Write a dream journal. We need as much information as possible.”

“Yes. All right.”

“I will write in detail. I am confident.”

I was just there for myself.

“I hear you go with the apostles?”

“Yes. We are also learning records as we go.”

“Because there are people who record the parish president. We want to record Oren.”

At this rate, the Apostle of Oren was born.

Anyway, if I had learned to record, I thought there would be no problem with my dream diary.

“I’m counting on you. It’s really important.”

“yes. I will do my best.”

“You don’t have to worry.”

The information of these children will reveal the identity of the darkness that was unknown until now.

When I finished all the preparations, I got a call from the mask.

＜Let’s meet!＞

Just a day ago, his voice had been serious, but today he seemed to be in a better mood than usual.

Leone immediately turned into Oren and set off to meet the darkness.

‘I didn’t expect you to ask me to meet you here.’

Where would be the perfect place to hide from the dark empire?

Since the continent is so wide, I thought it would be fine anywhere as long as there were no people, but these guys moved more cleverly.

‘I never thought I’d be in a protected area.’

The Empire has many different cultures.

It wasn’t because the continent was so wide, it was because its culture was absorbed while destroying other kingdoms.

However, among these cultures, valuable cultures were designated as protected areas and protected by the Empire.

Most of the reservations were famous as tourist destinations, but some of them were famous in a slightly different sense.

‘It must be the library of the sage. I don’t know because I’m hiding in a place like this.’

The Sage’s Library.

A sanctuary for intellectuals created by exchanging knowledge with each other.

It was a place that had many meanings when it came to knowledge, enough to give the empire its own rights.

As promised, Oren went inside the library.

When you reach the depths of the library beyond the reading room and open knowledge.

A librarian asked Oren.

“How did you get here?”

“I came because one of the librarians was sick. I am Oren of Killika who has been given the authority to represent the Church of Dawn.”

Oren took out a document from his bosom and handed it to him. After reading the document, he opened his mouth.

“ah. You are here. You can go inside.”

Judging by the look on his face, he really seemed like a librarian. It didn’t seem like the entire library had gone over to the dark side.

‘Am I living in the library like a parasite?’

The expression was a parasite, but the more I thought about it, the more perfect it was.

If he had established himself as a librarian for a long time, there would be no reason to be suspicious, and this place was far from the Empire’s surveillance.

when you go inside like that.

A voice came from the darkness.

“I waited. Mr. Oren.”

However, it was completely different from usual.

It didn’t magically appear in the dark. I was just standing in the dark.

Besides, the voice was completely different.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.”

The dark guy was taking off his mask.

“You can call me Sally from here. Mr. Oren.”

The guy slightly grabbed her skirt and greeted her in an old-fashioned way.

“I will.”

Sally’s lips went up at Oren’s calm demeanor.

“Aren’t you asking me any more questions?”

“Is there anything I need to know?”

“Because I am a woman?”

Oren answered her question quietly.

“It’s been a while since I’ve asked such a stupid question. I thought you’d stopped asking these questions lately?”

“haha. sorry. It’s a question that some people who have seen me always ask. I apologize.”

Whether he was a woman or a man, it didn’t matter at all.

“Stop talking nonsense, I want you to start by telling me why you were in a good mood in the morning.”

“ah! You mean that?”

Was he smiling like this even under the mask? He had a surprisingly pure smile.

“I used a lot of what I learned from Mr. Oren.”

“Hoo.”

Oren’s expression changed for the first time.

“How much did you rip off?”

“Will this amount of support make it successful?”

darkness and boundaries. The same smile appeared on Sally’s and Oren’s faces.

It was a devilish smile.
