Faith Life of a Former Scammer

056. Allow me to become a righteous thief!

Oren quickly relayed the details.

“We have selected cities that can be planned. All crimes are conducted against the lord and church of this city.”

After pasting a map of a planable city on a bulletin board.

“Kidnapping, murder and extreme violence are not allowed.”

Notified of the last limitation.

“The explanation ends here. Now let me give you the good news.”

Now was the time to show the dignity of the heir. Oren calmly opened his mouth.

“artist. He will make the paperwork. With my permission and the artist’s help. Don’t bring any trashy plans.”

With the support of an artist, a trashy plan turns into a real plan.

This was a meal for nothing.

Residents dispersed rapidly.

‘Still, you have to wait a day… … .’

After a while, Oren realized that this place was Killika.

Less than 30 minutes had passed, and the residents had brought their plans.

“Princess, this is a fraudulent scheme using jewels… … .”

“If the scam is complicated, what about our plan? With a little help, I’ll sneak in and open the safe.”

“Severe violence is not possible, doesn’t that mean violence is possible anyway? Then this plan… … .”

After looking at the plan, I got a sense of what had happened.

‘Is the momentum really crazy?’

I didn’t plan this alone. They gathered among themselves, drew plans, and distributed people.

‘You finished this in 30 minutes?’

I could understand the plan. This was just a slight twist on a famous crime.

The problem was then.

Number of participants and city in charge.

This was set as ‘temporary’.

“quiet.”

At the words of the heir, the villagers shut their mouths.

“It seems that the conversation between the residents is over.”

“Yes, it is. It was a mess because everyone was full of enthusiasm. There are people who fall out, so we gathered opinions so that everyone can participate.”

As expected, it was Oren’s idea. The conversation between the residents was over.

“The plan choice isn’t bad either. The classics are always the sure thing.”

“That’s right! Classic is not classic for nothing. Besides, the artist teacher’s help… … .”

“I know, so be quiet.”

“sorry!”

It certainly wasn’t bad, but it could be corrected.

“Sapphire is not good on this side of City Pelena. I’d rather go with Ruby.”

“They buy sapphires at a high price… … .”

“The sapphire fad is over. Rather, Ruby would be more certain.”

“ah! Yep!”

Oren corrected some of the papers.

Information and plans before the return that were unknown now supplemented the documents.

“… … This will make the plan much smoother.”

“Huh, such a plan?”

“The completion of a plan is the details. don’t forget.”

“thank you!”

It didn’t end here.

“Next is the safecracker team.”

“Yep!”

“Retake the vulnerability review. This side, this side has already been repaired. I see a problem with information.”

“Ah, I see!”

It’s been less than two months since Oren became the heir, but he felt as if he had lived his whole life in a back alley.

“You want to use violence?”

“That’s right.”

“Then go a little easier. Let’s move like this.”

“This… … thank you!”

After revising all the plans, the way he looked at Oren changed.

“It’s good to move by faith, but you must also be rewarded.”

“Oh no!”

“Thank you for sending it!”

“you’re right!”

Just looking at their reactions, it was felt that they recognized him as a true successor.

“Take when you give.”

At Oren’s words, the guys shut their mouths.

“You must have seen the construction going on around the mansion where the priest is staying.”

The reward Oren wanted to give them was simple.

“It is not very difficult to expand the construction area and put a new building on it.”

“no way… … .”

“Deal with it for sure. I never hire people for free.”

“I will do my best!”

At the word of giving them a new house, their morale soared.

“Explain the plan to each team, and get ready. We move all at once and finish it in one day.”

“yes!”

Killika started to move.

Church of the Earth, Palena Church.

A guest visited.

“I want to purchase indulgences.”

“haha. Welcome. There is nothing wrong with having at least one indulgence.”

“Do you also sell the highest grade indulgences?”

“Five! You are a valued guest. No wonder. We sell the highest grade of indulgences where all punishments and sins are forgiven.”

It was also a precious guest who purchased the highest grade.

“However, the highest rank can only be owned by those who are qualified for that rank.”

“It makes me more trustworthy.”

“As expected, it seems that qualified people recognize luxury goods.”

The flattering skill was to the point that it looked like a merchant rather than a priest.

The guest took out and showed the documents proving his identity.

“This is the Viscount Sullant, Prince Gongja.”

“Yes. I came out to get some fresh air, but since they sell interesting things here, I thought I’d try something fun.”

Of course, the funniest thing that could be done with indulgences was ‘crime’. Even knowing that, the priest burst into laughter.

“haha. sure. I’ll take it out right away.”

“ah. Two copies, please.”

“Huh. Are there two pieces? This is 100,000 gold for one.”

Upon hearing this, the guest laughed.

“Then, three copies, please.”

“Oops. All right.”

The priest opened the safe and found the highest level of indulgences. It took a long time thanks to the piles of gold and jewels.

“Oops. Since he’s such a precious guy, it’s really hard to take it out.”

“Nothing. Isn’t that something worth it?”

The guest took out a jewel from his bosom.

“It’s a gem worth 100,000 gold each. Would you like to check it out?”

“Well. It cannot be sold without a quality guarantee.”

“I’m not stupid, could I not have taken care of it? This is a document notarized by the Empire Discrimination Association.”

The guest naturally took out the papers.

“Let’s take a look.”

The priest looked at the notarized documents.

Notarized documents of the Discrimination Association were very famous for their reputation for being impossible to forge.

You only need to check the specially treated seal.

“It’s authentic, I’m sure. Excuse me for this.”

“no. Even if it’s a few pennies, if it’s 300,000, you need to check.”

Seeing that arrogant figure, the priest’s thoughts became more clear.

“Here are three indulgences. It can only be used by you and requires a signature.”

“Is it possible to use a seal instead of a signature?”

“Of course. Rather, it is certain.”

The guest stamped the seal and handed it to the priest, who took out a seal.

“This is a seal stamped with divine power. If I put a stamp next to this, it will be a document recognized by the lord and the church.”

While explaining, he stamped.

The stamp stamped with divine power emits a little light. It seemed to have made anti-counterfeiting of its own.

“Here it is. It has been recognized by the gods and the lord. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest.”

“thank you.”

As soon as the guest received the indulgences, he swung his fist at the priest’s chin.

Break-!

The priest made a strange sound as if his jawbone had been dislocated, and the priest collapsed.

thud!

With a calm face, the customer approached the safe that had been opened earlier.

The safe was open. The customer moved quickly as if he was used to this situation.

Like jewels and gold ingots, I picked out and packed things that were small in volume and inconspicuous. After a while, the guest who had packed all the things came out quietly.

“Are you done?”

The paladin guarding the door leading out of the church asked the guest.

The guest showed his indulgences without hesitation.

“Three chapters.”

“Please return carefully.”

The Holy Knight opened the way after checking the seal of the indulgences.

As if nothing had happened, the guest headed for the teleport gate. When I arrived at the teleport gate, a problem arose.

“Yeah man! Stop!”

A paladin full of rage ran towards the teleport gate.

However, the customer’s expression was calm.

I just handed out the indulgences.

“Stop! Are you ignoring the authority of the Ministry of Indulgences!”

At those words, the paladin couldn’t help but flinch.

“I will ask again! Are you ignoring the authority of the Ministry of Indulgences!”

People’s eyes gathered in the commotion, and a buzz began. It was the worst situation for the Paladin.

“You assaulted the priest!”

“This is the highest level of indulgences. Violence against priests is forgivable.”

With those words, the guest threw away a sheet of indulgence.

“Then there are two left.”

“The Church’s safe has been robbed!”

Another sheet of indulgences was thrown away.

“Well, that’s not what I did, but let’s say it is. There is only one left.”

“What!”

If captured by force, the authority of the lord and church would collapse. There was still a sheet of indulgences left in that hand.

“Wizard, I will go to Killika.”

“Hey, this is true. All right.”

“Stop, stop! You assaulted priests and robbed the church. Where are you going?”

At those words, the wizard stopped his hand.

A deep curiosity flashed on his face.

However, the customer was not taken aback.

“It is the result of what you have done. This is what happens when a person’s sins are forgiven. If you didn’t expect even this, you shouldn’t have made it!”

“… … right.”

Muttered the mage in a low voice.

It wasn’t just wizards.

All the residents of the city were nodding their heads.

Everyone living in the city has been directly or indirectly affected by this indulgence. Its object only became the church.

“What are you going to do? I have one indulgence left?”

“I will remember you… … .”

The paladin desperately tried to leave the last word, but he couldn’t help it.

“Be careful with your words. Everyone is watching! Now you represent the Church of the Earth!”

At the customer’s words, the paladin shut his mouth.

“Wizard, please use Killika.”

“haha. All right.”

So the guest disappeared to Killika. Leaving a big ripple in the city… … .

* * *

The Church of Earth tried to deal with this priest assault case, but it was not enough.

From the next day, numerous incident reports began to come in.

[The theft of the Earl of Pilaten’s estate.]

[The case of stealing the parish of Napoleon.]

[The Kilton Parish fraud case.]

[Zuris parish fraud case.]

[The incident of assault in the parish of Mileno.]

.

.

.

.

.

Almost every town selling indulgences was robbed.

It was not up to par.

“What the hell is this! What the hell happened!”

Thanks to this, vases, books, and documents were flying around the high priest’s office of the Church of Earth.

At that time, it was ‘Arthur’ who opened his mouth.

“High Priestess! We will fix it as soon as possible and fill in the gaps! In any case, all rights of indulgences belong to us! Trust me!”

Of course, this was only a temporary blow, and there was a chance to make up for it.

If it was ‘Arthur’, this half-dying plan could be modified and supplemented.

But right after I said that.

New news has arrived.

Newspapers from each city published the incident. However, the composition was strange.

[This case proves that indulgences are also effective for nobles and priests… … . (syncopation)… … There is speculation that this was made for the ‘assassination’ of aristocrats for a power struggle.]

A tool for power struggles.

Groundbait for killing an opposing noble.

“Hey, what are you talking about!”

What I was talking about was told by the news that followed.

“High Priestess! Rumors are circulating that the Imperial Inspectorate has moved!”

“Oops! this! profit!!”

“Wait, High Priestess!”

Hearing the last news, the high priest grabbed his neck and collapsed.

“You mustn’t fall down now!”

In Arthur’s eyes, he saw that even his plans were crumbling along with the high priest.

Everything was blown down by the storm.

It was a storm driven by the indulgences.
