Faith Life of a Former Scammer

042. smart. Are you in the dark?

Rion arrived at the high priest’s office with Priest Runda.

“You’re welcome, Leon.”

“Come on, sit down.”

Inside, Priest Ruth and High Priestess were waiting for Leon.

As soon as Leon sat down, Priest Ruth opened his mouth.

“Rion, I need your advice. I have a few questions for you.”

“Yes, priest.”

Then the high priest intervened.

“Don’t be too impatient, explain the situation first. Only then will Leon be able to judge.”

“Yes, High Priestess.”

I could feel that Priest Ruth’s heart seemed urgent.

‘Looks like it went according to plan.’

In this atmosphere, it was clear that everything went according to plan.

Priest Ruth began to explain.

“First of all, I should give you a compliment.”

“Yes?”

Lyon pretended to be surprised and asked back.

“It seems that the good deeds you did in Killika have been spread all over the place through people’s mouths.”

It couldn’t be.

In the first place, Killika did not do much good.

This was a smoke screen anyway.

“It was all God’s will. All I did was little.”

“Guy, you are proud.”

With those words, Priest Ruth held out a small document.

“This document is a certificate of commendation from the United Vatican. It means officially recognizing the good works of the Church of Dawn.”

When I asked how the gold came in, it seemed that the gold was awarded as a prize.

“… … I don’t know what I’ve done is this great.”

“not. He did service in Killika, where the priests do not go, so this deserves praise.”

Leon was still making an expression that he didn’t know.

Then Priest Runda intervened.

“You Ruth, Leon, that clever fellow seems to have noticed already. Stop whining and tell me the real story.”

It was as Priest Runda said.

Unified Holy See.

Just hearing the name sounds like something, but it wasn’t at all.

“Hmm, Leone. This United Vatican does not represent all denominations. just… … It means the church with the most power.”

An embarrassing story for an adult to tell a child. Contrary to the church’s front view, it has an ugly rear view.

The unified Holy See meant the strongest guy.

“Still, in the past, it was a sacred organization that carried out a great cause by gathering the will of the church.”

Priest Ruth hurriedly made an excuse, but it was only difficult.

“I know that nobility will not be tarnished by the brief fading of the light.”

Leone comforted Priest Ruth and went straight to the point.

“I have other intentions. Can you understand this?”

“okay. The reason for sending this citation becomes clear when you look at this document.”

He said, showing another document.

“They say they’ll designate the entire Killika as a service area for the Church of Dawn.”

The move of the United Vatican was too blatant. It is a waste that is difficult to dispose of.

“… … I heard in Killika that all the denominations jointly manage it.”

“right. Killika is a place that is jointly managed, but no one manages it.”

The reason for co-management was simple. The old woman made an exquisite plan to prevent the management church from entering.

“Anyway, it’s about getting the entire city as a service area… … It is strange that other denominations have given up.”

“There are difficult conditions.”

“You mean conditions?”

The condition that other denominations said they would not come in because they were dirty.

“The ruler of Killika must be made an honorary cardinal of the church.”

The head of a group of criminals was to be made an honorary cardinal of the Order. This will remain in the church’s history for life.

‘It’s like an old woman.’

With that condition alone, no religious denomination entered Killica.

Leon asked as if floating.

“Shouldn’t we reject the invitation of the United Vatican?”

“It has its own coercion. You can do that, but there will be invisible sanctions.”

Priest Ruth immediately added an explanation.

“Besides, we are not here to decide on denial.”

As if receiving Priest Ruth’s words, the high priest opened his mouth.

“We are not people who run for honor. They are the ones who pacify the world by the will of God.”

If it was another church, I would have rejected it, but this is the Church of Dawn.

“That’s why I called Leonel to see if we can carry out God’s will there.”

Younggamnim was one of the few ‘true priests’ left in this era.

The question and answer with the high priest proceeded quickly.

“okay. Leon, how was the Killika you saw?”

“It was a city of sinful and lost sheep.”

“Huh. How was the ruler of Killika?”

“The ruler made a fence for the sheep, but he did not lead them.”

I had to induce the high priest to make a decision.

Leone made a story.

“You mean the fence is full of lost sheep?”

“That’s right. If there is only a shepherd to guide these sheep, he will be able to find the way and give them a chance to wash away their sins.”

“Be a shepherd and lead the sheep… … .”

The story of a shepherd who guides his sheep to the place where the dawn sprouts. This was a verse from the bible.

“Rather, this seems like a good opportunity.”

The high priest, who was lost in thought for a moment, made a decision.

“For priests, narrow-minded thinking is the object to be most wary of. If we can spread our will, that’s enough.”

At the high priest’s words, Priest Ruth and Priest Runda bowed their heads.

“Ruth, send a letter to Killica.”

“Yes, High Priestess.”

“Runda. Send a letter to the United Holy See. We will be in charge of Killika.”

“Could you entrust me with negotiations with the Holy See? I want to make some trades.”

There was no way Priest Runda would just allow it.

Originally, he would have refused, but thanks to Leon, he was a high priest who was freed from the shackles.

“… … Leave it entirely up to you.”

“I will wipe away the tears of these bastards at the Vatican!”

“Do it in moderation.”

Concerned, the High Priest asked for it, but Priest Runda seemed unwilling to do so.

“Lion, thank you. That was a big help.”

“I’m glad I was helpful.”

A deep smile appeared on both of their faces.

Of course, the thoughts the two were thinking were completely different.

* * *

During several days of fierce negotiations between Priest Runda and the United Vatican.

Letters from Leone continued to arrive.

[Exceeding expectations. Check for anomalies.]

This was the first letter that arrived.

‘Grandma and my hypothesis were correct.’

In the first place, the Blade of Dawn and the Church of Dawn did not need to use such complicated methods to unite.

This was a trap to confirm the existence of the darkness.

‘It’s so lucky that the United Vatican is moving here.’

‘I’m lucky.’ It wasn’t something to go through. this is abnormal

‘Someone is powering the blade of dawn.’

As I said, darkness was fattening the blade of dawn.

As a result, the unified Holy See moved.

‘Thanks to that, I got more results than I thought.’

Recognized by the United Holy See. ‘Kilika’ was officially a member of the Church of Dawn.

Besides, the real benefit was different.

[Rumors are spreading that Killika is moving to absorb the Church of Dawn.]

‘This is real. Our hidden card that will ruin the darkness.’

Prior to the return, Leon’s true identity was exposed to the darkness, but this time he had no intention of doing such a stupid thing.

‘The blade of dawn, not me, should look like darkness.’

The blade of dawn lobbies, swallowing the Church of Dawn.

I went through this complicated process to create this composition.

‘It’s strange if I’m not fooled by this.’

The darkness must have been watching over the Church of Dawn and the Blade of Dawn.

According to the old woman, it will be a small force, so you will see the ‘big flow’ rather than detailed information.

‘This is a picture of Killika trying to absorb the Church of Dawn.’

When things do this, it becomes easier to pursue other things.

‘The dark side will push it, so we just have to accept it.’

‘I’m lucky.’ the situation will continue.

At this point, the honorary title of cardinal was awaited.

[Next plan in progress. To be brought when visiting.]

The plan made by Leon and Granny continued to roll.

Time passed quickly.

* * *

Priest Runda’s negotiations.

Speaking of results, it was great.

“This belly button! Come here!”

“Priest? You’re so excited right now… … .”

“excitement? Of course I did! our leon! Is there anything you would like to have?”

Priest Runda’s negotiating power was beyond imagination.

“At the end, they even gave me a compliment on top of the reward.”

“What did you say?”

“You terrible Dawning Priest bastard. It was dirty to meet you, and he said that we should never meet again! Ha ha ha!”

After successful negotiations, the conferment of honorary cardinals began to speed up.

The Church of Dawn and the Blade of Dawn.

The two had something in common.

Complex procedures and futile rituals.

He hated extravagant events.

Thanks to this, the conferment ceremony for an honorary cardinal has become simple and frugal.

Streamlining the event naturally speeds up the schedule.

A few days later, an honorary cardinal conferment ceremony was held.

The ceremony itself was an unprecedented one.

“I’m really sorry. The risk is too great to leave the city, so I came as an agent.”

The breakout started when Rect came as an agent instead of Grandma.

“haha. it’s okay. We understand the uniqueness of cities. It just needs to be met when we visit.”

The high priest didn’t care at all. Rather, I cared about other things.

“Here is the letter of appointment as an honorary cardinal. I am worried that we may have simplified the ceremony too much.”

The ceremony ended with the appointment letter. It was already difficult to say that it was a breakthrough.

“no. very good. He said that you can understand the atmosphere of the denomination just by looking at the event. I could see how he raised Priest Leon.”

“haha. I am grateful that you think so.”

The parties were satisfied.

“My elder could not come here, so he sent me a small present.”

“Huh. Did you even prepare a present?”

Rect pulled out a document.

“I think the Church of Dawn will suffer a lot because of us.”

“What would be the damage? All you have to do is do the work of a priest.”

“I’m glad you think so, but I don’t think people think that way.”

Rect said with sincerity.

“We just want to help the Church of Dawn that sent Priest Leon.”

“Does it have something to do with the gift you brought me?”

“That’s right.”

Rect opened the document he had prepared.

He started selling drugs in earnest.

“The church that even Killika repented of.”

“Huh.”

Rumors are spreading that it is the Church of Dawn being absorbed by Killika, but if you talk the other way, it will be completely different.

“The Church of Dawn will have a symbolism that no one else has.”

With this symbolism, anything is possible.

“There are famous nerds in the aristocratic family. Killika also repented, but would it be impossible for those idiots?”

It became Killika, but there was no way the idiots wouldn’t be able to do it.

“We can introduce you to these crazy Confucius.”

Rect sold drugs as if possessed.

“Changing them will change the continent. What could be more useful to the world than this?”

“Would that be possible?”

Of course it is possible.

“Isn’t Priest Leon here?”

“ah!”
