Faith Life of a Former Scammer

057. After the land

“The Imperial Inspection Department has moved!”

Upon hearing this news, the Church of Earth went into an uproar.

“What do you mean!”

“Who is responsible for fixing this?!”

The high priest who would oversee the church had collapsed, and no priest was willing to act to solve the problem.

‘These cockroaches!’

It wasn’t that the priests didn’t step out because they were stupid. Rather, it happened because it was too clever.

‘You’re quick to notice.’

The Imperial Inspection Department was the only institution in the Empire that could touch the Church.

Unlike other places, the friction with the Imperial Inspection Department was something that could blow your throat.

‘There is no time to waste now.’

Arthur made a quick decision and opened his mouth.

“Keep the high priest’s death a secret, and issue an official document in the name of the high priest. Solve the problem first!”

At Arthur’s words, the priests opened their mouths as if they had been waiting.

“okay. Arthur you are right. Do what you say.”

“Your plan couldn’t have gone wrong, so this time will be fine.”

“Don’t trust only you.”

Seeing the blatant division of responsibilities, Arthur felt stuffy as if his insides were clogged.

‘Damn it.’

It felt like eating dozens of sweet potatoes without water.

“I will send an official letter first.”

First of all, he sent a letter to the ‘Yeha Parish’, the church of the land in each region.

[A high priest’s special order. Abolition of indulgences and withdrawal of indulgence business. Do not think of damage and incinerate immediately.]

That evening, fires broke out across the continent. The place where the fire started was the buildings owned by the Church of the Earth.

everything went back to ashes

Meanwhile in Killika.

“Off-billion! I really enjoyed the meal!”

“Yes? What is it, Leon?”

“What is it? This gold and jewels. It’s very thrifty and well-collected.”

“haha. I see. I don’t know if I’m getting sick from eating so much.”

Leon and Granny joked while looking at the jewels and gold.

‘Wow! I feel refreshed inside.’

It felt like my stomach was empty, as if I had drank carbonated water.

‘Thank you, Arthur! I ate well thanks to the indulgences!’

Even this wasn’t the only thing I got.

* * *

[Mission: Remove the indulgences.]

[The mission has been cleared.]

[Destruction is delayed.]

The reinforcement reward notification window I haven’t seen in a long time.

[Analyze the mission process.]

[Determine the direction of specialization through analysis.]

Without any time to expect any rewards, an unexpected notification window popped up.

[Insufficient Holy Circle manager’s authority.]

[Conditions not met.]

[The priest’s persuasion cannot be strengthened.]

‘What? Why is permission here?’

I never thought that ‘Siri’s authority’ would be used like this.

‘great. Then what would you like?’

There was no need to be sorry. I’m just glad I found it now. It was something that had to be secured.

More important than that, was what I could receive instead.

As if to answer Leon’s question, a new notification window appeared.

[The power of reinforcement explores new possibilities.]

[Exploring unique abilities.]

‘uh!? A new possibility?! Is it really a unique ability?’

In this case, the story is completely different.

Just like the ‘Persuasive Power’ you first got, it meant giving you a new unique ability.

This was like a jackpot.

[Forcibly blooms the unique ability.]

[Trait: Rage]

[Rage: The power to deal with anger]

‘crazy.’

The Bixby I got thanks to Berserker.

The enormous ‘anger’ he had thanks to him was recognized as a ‘unique ability’.

‘If you do this well… … .’

Until now, there was only one way to deal with anger. How to strengthen the body.

However, when anger becomes a unique skill, it is completely different.

‘It’s not limited to the body, I can handle the anger itself.’

It becomes possible to create an overbearing aura with anger or to use it in an extraordinary way to put anger in words.

Of course, this also requires some conditions.

‘Bixby.’

[Congratulations! master!]

As soon as he called, he congratulated me.

‘Okay, can you handle your anger?’

[Are you saying you can handle it like that Siri assistant?]

‘okay.’

[I’ve tried it with Assistant Siri a few times, but it’s impossible. It’s just the extent of what I originally dealt with.]

‘Now is? Can I use my unique ability instead?’

[Still no.]

As expected, Bixby couldn’t handle its unique ability.

‘Administrators and privileges.’

These two conditions were necessary.

‘Considering what Siri deals with, it’s kind of odd that it just happens.’

Like the Holy Circle, it meant that it was only possible by acquiring skills and designating a manager.

‘I prepared it anyway.’

I didn’t anticipate and prepare for this situation, but I had already requested the Church of Dawn.

Later that evening, Philip arrived in Killica.

* * *

“Lee, Leon!”

A big guy came running as if he was running to his lost mother.

“I’m here?”

“yes! how have you been doing?”

“You can see it. How have you been?”

Leone pointed to the inside of the mansion and said.

“thank god. I was worried about what would happen if I was suffering.”

The boy answered with a simple smile.

“I am doing very well. You don’t have to worry.”

“God, if someone is bothering you, tell me. I’ll punish you!”

Perhaps he was worried about Leone, who was alone in Killika, but he said something out of place.

At that, Leon burst into laughter.

“Okay. I’ll make sure to write it down and tell you. Fortunately, there is no one like that now. they are all good people ‘Faith’ is with us.”

“yes! trust!”

More than that, in Leon’s eyes, he was more worried about him. The size wasn’t as big as I thought.

“By the way, your body isn’t bigger than you thought, is it? Is there anyone who interferes with exercise?”

“no. I am practicing in a slightly different way.”

“other way?”

In the Church of Dawn, there was no other physical training method. There was only one person to give out information.

“Cruise taught me how to compress muscles.”

“You mean the new trainee? Were you violent?”

“That’s right.”

As expected, the berserker seemed to have taught them how to train.

“What do you think? Are you feeling better?”

“yes. It was to the point where my life was inconvenient because of my muscles.”

Even so, Philip’s muscle growth was unreasonably fast.

As ‘sacred power’ and ‘effort’ were added to it, it seemed that the inconveniences in life had grown.

“Good. It’s like a chance, so learn well.”

When you reach a certain level and enter the realm of ‘skill’, Gothran is passed on to Leone.

“yes. Instead, I’m also training Kruse!”

The recent story was enough.

Still, time was tight.

I had to move as quickly as possible.

“okay. Then let’s go.”

“uh? Where?”

“Of course. Would you have called to talk about the current situation?”

Leon took Philip to visit the old woman.

* * *

“Are you here, Leon?”

“Grandma. Sorry for the late night.”

Philip was taken aback when he called the seemingly young woman ‘Grandma’.

“Lee, Leon.”

Seeing this, the old woman smiled.

“it’s okay. Granny is like a title for me.”

“Ah. hello.”

Philip’s cheeks turned red, and he nodded in greeting.

“Is this the friend Leon was talking about?”

“Yes, that’s right. He is a friend I can trust with my back.”

“Lee, Leon.”

what is so exciting Philip looked at Leon with trembling eyes.

“Why not?”

“no! right! I will always protect you!”

He tapped his chest as if begging him to leave it to him.

“You are such a good friend.”

The grandmother poured praise as if pouring oil on it. Thanks to that, the atmosphere was warm.

From now on, that was the main point.

“First, let me explain what happened.”

Leon explained to Philip about the soul tattoo.

“If you receive it, will you get an aura load?”

“Well. Do you think Holy Road is closer?”

“J-Really!?”

The reason Philip was surprised was simple.

The battle method of a paladin with divine power relies on ‘physical abilities’ rather than ‘skills’.

Survival power that doesn’t fall like a zombie and stamina that doesn’t get tired.

However, when they meet a certain level of strength, they quickly fall apart.

‘Well, there are people who can reach the extremes of a sword with divine power, but that’s a scam.’

It was an irrational world that only a few geniuses could do. However, with Holy Road, many things change.

You can be strong even if you are not a genius.

‘The user’s skill is added to come to the paladin.’

What if the paladin’s ability is combined with the aura user’s skill?

A monster is born.

“Are you going to take it?”

“yes! Please!”

Permission was a matter of course.

“Grandma, shall we begin?”

“I am ready.”

The soul tattoo implantation on Philip’s body has begun.

* * *

Unlike Leone’s halo, Philip’s soul tattoo was tattooed on his fist.

It was the place where Kwon Seong had tattoos in the past.

‘Kwon Seong-ra, it feels strangely connected with this incident.’

All Leon had to do was to decide where to engrave the tattoo, plant trees on both hands, feet, and head, and that was it.

“Two days. It will be over at noon the day after tomorrow.”

“Please take good care of me. See you in two days, Philip.”

Leon’s work ended here.

From now on, I had to leave it to my grandmother.

For two days, Leone has been busy.

When I was a Lion, I rang the bell in the morning and evening, and conducted worship and gymnastics.

Up until this point, I hadn’t been very busy, but the problem was when I was with ‘Oren’.

Since the old woman was away, it was only natural that Oren, the successor, would take the place.

Thanks to this, I was able to see how much work Grandma was doing.

[Temporary search of the Church of the Inspector’s Land.]

[Extenuating circumstances are being requested based on the cancellation and closure of the sale of the Church of the Earth’s indulgences.]

[Twenty percent of the parishes of the Cult of the Earth are lost.]

[The inspection department’s visit to Killika is added to the schedule.]

Not to mention checking the movements of the Church of the Earth and the Inspection Department in real time.

“We will report on the construction progress.”

“We will report on the vocational education of residents that you have planned.”

“We report on the survey conducted to the residents.”

I had to check and deal with various situations in the city.

Thanks to that, the two days went by in a flash.

The next day at noon, I canceled all my plans and moved to my grandmother’s room.

How focused she was, she was continuing her work, unaware that Leone had entered.

Leone cautiously sat next to Philip and called Siri.

‘Is it Siri?’

[Yes, I will activate training right away.]

It was an increase in ability due to the soul tattoo. I had to suck it up as much as possible by adding training to membership registration.

After a while.

“ha.”

The old woman let out a big sigh as if it was over, and a notification window appeared in front of Leon.

[You have partially succeeded in creating Holy Road.]

[This is automatically downgraded.]

[An incomplete Holy Road is created.]

[This skill cannot be used with anger.]

As I thought, the notification window popped up.

This conflict was important.

[??holds a load.]

[?? The administrator of the load exists.]

[Skill: Imperfect Holy Road is not a perfect skill.]

[Skill: Imperfect Holy Rod assists in the creation of a ?? rod.]

[Skill: ??Rod was acquired.]

[??The administrator of the road is formally appointed.]

Just as Ciri was appointed due to the conflict between the Mana Circle and the Holy Circle.

Due to the conflict between Holy Lord and Fury Lord, Bixby was appointed.

Again, the second was much easier than the first.

[Skill: Please register the skill name of the ??rod.]

‘This was decided in the first place. I’ll do it with the Fury Road.’

[Skill: Fury Road has been registered.]

At the same time as the skill was registered, Bixby opened its mouth.

[There is nothing wrong with anger!]

Just when you thought you had everything to gain, a new notification popped up.

[You have partially succeeded in perfect muscle compression.]

[This is automatically downgraded.]

[Successful awkward muscle compression.]

It seemed that he had awakened the skills he had learned from the berserker.

‘Even if it’s clumsy, even if it’s this much… … .’

[master! I have!]

‘uh?’

[Can I make supplementary work?]

Come to think of it, anger was a specialist in handling the body.

‘try.’

With Leon’s words, a new notification window popped up.

[Trait: Rage is activated.]

[Rage makes up for the clumsy muscle compression.]

[You have succeeded in perfect muscle compression.]

[Skill: Muscle compression is registered.]

‘This?’

[Ghahaha! Master, I am!]

Today, Bixby’s laughter didn’t bother me.

‘Also! Bixby!’

The praise was a bonus.

Leon hurriedly checked his watch. Fortunately, it seemed to be just in time.

“Philip! Woke up?”

“uh… … uh?”

“Calm down and prepare. I need to meet a guest.”

“Guest?”

It wasn’t for Philip who planted Rod. It was because Leon needed strength.

It took strength to meet this customer and get what he wanted.

Just as Philip woke up, he heard a knock.

Knock. Knock.

“mother. Serta of the Iron Fist, the commander of the Inspection Department, has visited.”

The long-awaited guest has finally arrived.

“We are requesting a meeting with Priest Leon, the informant of the Indulgences Department.”

This nobleman was a guest invited by Leone.

“You will be leaving soon. Take the guest to the drawing room.”

“Yes, mother.”

“Rion, did you get what you wanted?”

“Yes, enough. Thank you, Grandma.”

Now it was our turn to meet our guests.

“Lee, Leon. If it’s Tekken, aren’t you from the Kwon family!?”

“Oh, that’s it. Get ready.”

“Wow, are you okay?”

“Don’t be scared. He’s just an uncle.”

The only reason I dared to reveal the information was to meet this man.

‘There are so many things Kwon Ga picks up to eat.’
