Faith Life of a Former Scammer

055. Killika! Assemble!

While the continent suffered a backache due to an official letter prohibiting the sale of indulgences, Killika was also having a turbulent time.

“hey! Shut up Phil, fly the bricks!”

“going!”

Several building guilds were simultaneously carrying out construction. It was the first such large-scale construction in Killica.

The residents were surprised by this sight, but it was Leon who was most surprised.

“Grandma, isn’t that architecture guild very famous? There was no way it would have been a request.”

“Thanks to the successor.”

“Yes? Oren?”

It was none other than Oren.

‘I’m Oren, what are you talking about?’

Leone, the person in charge, did not understand.

“Aristocrats who attended the party recommended it.”

“On the noble side? There would be no reason to move there.”

“The family ladies moved.”

There was only one reason for the women of the family to move.

A conversation after a bloody debt.

The fearsome ladies who were aiming for Oren.

“… … Could it be because of Oren’s face?”

“Right. Thanks to that, I think the construction will proceed quickly.”

It was absurd.

I thought being good looking would help, but I didn’t know it would have this kind of effect.

‘This is the world of handsome guys!?’

I never imagined that there would be such an unreasonable world.

That day, Leon made a promise.

‘I’ll use Oren’s face!’

I will use my handsome face to my heart’s content.

* * *

However, there was no need to use the face right away. It was the timing to focus on the activities of ‘Rion’ rather than ‘Oren’.

What only Leon can do.

‘I have to make them fall into faith step by step.’

The spread of ‘faith’ has begun.

The first step in spreading faith was planting the perfect seed in the heart.

Whoops-!

Whoops!

twice a day. The bell rang every day, and each time Leon prayed on the second floor terrace.

“O Almighty God of Dawn, who opens the morning. Forgive us our sins, and help us not to fall into temptation.”

Morning to start the day.

“O Almighty God of Dawn, today is also the end of the day. Just as the darkness is brightened by the dawn, give us the strength to reveal our sins.”

Dinner to end the day.

twice a day like that. Leon rang the bell and prayed for the residents.

The villagers, who at first looked on in surprise, soon got used to the sound of the bell and Leon’s prayer.

“God of the Dawn.”

“The strength to endure the day today.”

Soon, one by one, they started praying with Leon.

After about 10 days of praying together like this, changes began to appear.

[All villager seeds have been created.]

An imperfect seed turned into a perfect seed and settled in the hearts of the people.

So far it was as expected.

However, the effect of the bell did not end here.

[Due to the sound of the bell, the flowering speed of other seeds has also increased.]

‘Another seed?’

[The seed from the grandmother’s branch.]

It created an unexpected situation.

This was like a hit.

‘You’re not only planting seeds, are you saying it also affects the growth rate of seeds?’

[That’s right.]

With the perfect seed in place, it was time to move on to the next step.

Whoops-!

Whoops!

The bell seemed to ring, but I didn’t pray anymore.

“The hand of the God of Dawn is upon you. Can you feel the touch?”

I started communicating with residents.

“I can feel it!”

Residents who were constantly exposed to the bell every day and even planted seeds.

It’s strange that you don’t feel it.

“Having faith is a very difficult thing. But you did it.”

It was a work to ‘recognize’ that I have faith.

“Deep in the heart. Can you feel his warmth? That is faith.”

“Oh God!”

Residents finally realized what warmth is in their hearts

That was ‘faith’.

‘Well, that’s not wrong. Because it’s the seed of faith.’

Of course, it wasn’t without problems.

This bell, a city-class relic, was made by the demonic sword maker Kateon.

The more people’s faith grows.

“Everyone, do you believe in the god of dawn!?”

“I believe-!”

“Oh God-!”

Along with faith came other emotions similar to insanity.

Let’s add skill to it.

[Skill: Consolation is activated.]

[Skill: Training is activated.]

[Unique Skill: Priest’s Persuasion is activated.]

Every morning and evening, unbelievable sights began to unfold in the city.

“O Almighty God of Dawn, who opens the dawn!”

“I believe!”

“We repent and admit our sins!”

“Forgive me!”

“Save us, have mercy!”

“amen!”

Beneath the city-level reliquary.

City-level worship was held.

Through this service, the residents of Killika felt the change.

“I don’t think life is bad these days.”

“haha. To hear from your mouth that living would not be bad.”

“Because it changes every day.”

“Grage! Aren’t you all feeling the change?”

People who ran away in frustration and despair. They couldn’t live a normal life.

He became addicted to alcohol to escape despair.

“It’s all thanks to the God of Dawn! Does the hangover go away? If this is not the power of God, what is it!”

“Will faith save us?”

“I will save you.”

However, right after the worship service began, things started to change.

No matter how much I drank, I felt better the next day, and my body started to improve as if the poison was gone.

“The God of Dawn really takes care of us.”

“I’m so glad that Priest Leon has come.”

My mind became clear, and soon my body began to feel better.

But getting better all at once was impossible.

‘So this is what I need.’

In the evening, worship continued, but in the morning, something else began instead of worship.

I was taken aback at first, but there was no rejection after ‘faith’ entered. Rather, after a few days, they began to actively participate.

“Belief gymnastics start-start!”

An upright mind in a healthy body.

It was gymnastics prepared for this.

“one two three four!”

Being the leader of Leon.

“Five, six, seven, eight!”

Residents cheered.

The movements were not difficult or complex. Rather, it is simple and anyone can follow it.

The whole city started doing gymnastics every morning.

“Go faster! one two three four!”

“Five, six, seven, eight!”

It was spectacular to see the whole city doing gymnastics in the streets.

“Gymnastics strengthens our faith! believe it! It’s not hard! Faster!”

“yes-!”

“Rise up!”

“trust! trust!”

In just one month, the whole city was changing.

* * *

While Killika was changing, the power of the Earth Church was spreading secretly across the continent.

Just as Leon made indulgences and contacted the Church, the Earth Church also made things and contacted the ‘nobles’.

“Thank you for agreeing to meet.”

“haha. I couldn’t imagine a business proposal from the Church of the Earth.”

Business Partner Proposal.

This was the connection between the Order and the nobility.

“So what’s the big deal?”

“The continent was noisy with indulgences, have you heard?”

“Yes. I have heard.”

“What we’ve made is something similar, but completely different.”

At that, the nobleman began to show interest.

“Hoo. Please tell me.”

“Indulgence was an outrageous thing that defied the laws of the Empire. In fact, it’s safe to say that it’s half a thing.”

As the saying goes, indulgence only relieves the psychological guilt, but it is not a powerful item.

“So we had a different idea. I wondered what it would be like to make a real indulgences instead of half ones.”

“A real indulgence… … .”

The nobility fell more and more into the priest’s story.

“What we are trying to create is not indulgences. It is ‘indulgences’.”

“If it’s the indulgence department, will you avoid the punishment?”

“That’s right.”

indulgences.

A document that exempts you from punishment following a crime that is not a crime.

“It is also easy to make. I heard that the lord can add laws unique to his territory.”

“That’s right. Imperial law exists, but the situation is different for each territory.”

The way to change the indulgence to real was simple.

“[If you have an indulgence, the deed takes precedence over imperial law.] If you add this as a law unique to your territory, the document will have real power.”

You can make it together with the lord.

“How are you? This is the indulgence we created.”

The nobleman’s expression strangely changed.

“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t sell this myself?”

“The lord cannot designate the land’s own laws for personal gain. Wouldn’t it be risky to sell it yourself?”

“What if I set up an agent?”

He wasn’t asking the question out of greed.

“Aren’t you afraid of the Imperial Guard? Rather than taking that risk, you can avoid it with us.”

“haha. You have already prepared everything. If you prepared this much, the rest should be fine.”

It was a test of the preparedness of the church.

If you add just one line of law, gold pours in, but there was no reason to take the risk yourself.

“That’s right. We will be responsible for everything from the production of indulgences to sales and distribution.”

“Take good care of me.”

The indulgences of the Church of the Earth began to spread secretly.

* * *

The clandestine movements of these land churches were relayed to Killica in real time.

“The item produced by the Church of the Earth is called Indulgences. I confirmed it through Count May.”

From the production of indulgences.

“The Church of the Earth is contacting the nobles and expanding the distribution of indulgences.”

The spread of indulgences.

“As a result of checking, it is sold mainly to nobles and wealthy merchants.”

Sale of indulgences.

“Victims are appearing one after another in each territory. The lord is pretending not to know.”

Even the situation of damage caused by indulgences.

These were the things that happened while Leon was worshiping and doing gymnastics.

Leon wasn’t just standing by.

‘Wow, it’s faster than I thought?’

[Mission: Remove the indulgences.]

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

It wasn’t that I was waiting for the mission to appear.

‘Looks like I’m ready now.’

Getting rid of this indulgences is incredibly difficult.

‘Even if I can get rid of one or two of the territories, the next one is the problem.’

If one suffers, the other compensates for it and sells it. This makes it increasingly difficult to get rid of.

So I had to get rid of it once and for all.

‘Of course I can’t do it alone.’

That’s why I waited to move all at once, not alone.

Whoops-!

Whoops!

The morning bell rang, and the residents naturally gathered.

“Gentlemen, the heinous thing called indulgences is being sold as indulgences! This is a terrible thing against God’s will!”

It’s not that I sowed faith in the residents for nothing.

“We need your strength!”

The people gathered here were not ordinary people.

scammers, robbers, thieves, thugs and so on.

All were professional criminals.

Whoops-!

Whoops!

“In the name of the God of Dawn, I command! stand up The world needs your strength!”

The sound of the bell this morning was like the sound of Jingun’s drums.

“Hey Killika! Exercise your faith!”

“Wowaa!!”

with the shouts of citizens.

Priest Leon went inside, and Oren, the heir, came out.

“Make a criminal plan and bring it to me.”

The eyes of the dissatisfied criminals twinkled.

Killika was more energetic than ever.
