Faith Life of a Former Scammer

074. A happy ending for everyone?

The king said nothing. I just looked at Leon’s face without saying anything.

Silence that lasted for a while.

What broke the silence was the ‘black hammer’ that Leon had healed.

“Did you say that you are the envoy who came in place of the fisherman?”

“That’s right.”

“Are you human?”

“Yes. As you can see, we are human. But it is true that I came on behalf of the fishmen.”

Leon pulled out a scale from his bosom.

“These are the scales representing the fish people.”

The black hammer looked at the scales and nodded. It was the same thing I had seen before.

However, that was not what he intended to ask.

“I didn’t ask in that sense. Are you, by any chance, an angel?”

He asked the question on behalf of the king. At that question, Leon made a slightly troubled expression.

“Is this a theological question?”

At Leon’s reaction, the black hammer lowered its head.

“no. I think I asked a rude question.”

He apologized like it was nothing. At the same time as the apology, another servant asked a new question.

“Have you ever been adrift on the sea? Do you have all your memories?”

[The angel who disappeared underground went up to the ground and lost all his memories. He became the representative of the fisherman and returned to the kingdom.]

‘What. It looks like he wrote a novel like this.’

It didn’t matter.

“Yes? no. Memories are fine. I came from Suban, a city next to the mountains.”

When Leon tilted his head, the servant changed into a dejected face.

The next question was asked by the king, who had been staring at Leon in silence.

“Explain how you, a human being, became the agent of fish people.”

“This is going to be a bit long, is that okay?”

“Try it.”

The king must have recovered his emotions and returned to his original self, full of dignity and cool-headed.

“I’m here to investigate an undersea volcano.”

“volcano?”

“That’s right. As the temperature of the hot spring water in Suban, a city on the other side of the Wedge Mountains, rose rapidly, there was talk of a problem with the submarine volcano.”

The Dwarf King was desperately looking for it.

“… … It seems that humans have also felt the changes in the underwater volcano.”

A priest who looks exactly like his son.

Why did he come just in time?

“That’s right.”

“But that is not the answer. Because of the Wedge Mountains, there should be no harm to humans. Why did you come to investigate?”

He persistently asked questions.

“Tell the truth. How you got here!”

To those words, Leon replied as if he had made up his mind.

“You won’t believe it.”

“That is for me to judge. Do not forget that you are now facing the King of the Dwarves.”

The majesty of a king radiated from his body.

Leon lowered his head and replied.

“Then, let me show you.”

Leon immediately moved into action.

‘Is it Siri?’

[I’ll start right away.]

Divine power rose from Leon’s body, and a halo and angel wings appeared.

However, it looked a little strange.

“half… … side?”

Leon’s halo and angel’s wings appeared only on the right side, as if they had been split in half.

‘I wouldn’t have dreamed of something like this if it wasn’t for Siri.’

It was thanks to Siri that it stayed that way.

“I don’t know if you believe it, but sometimes angels dwell in my body.”

I started to tell the story that Leon had prepared.

“I am the angel’s vessel, more of a vehicle through which he can exert his power.”

The divine power emitted from Leon’s body disappeared.

“This is not my power, but the angel’s power. It is a power that cannot be used in the first place.”

“The fact that you use that power must be a problem.”

“Yes, my king.”

As if the king had found hope, he desperately combined the rice cakes that Leon threw. Leon continued his explanation.

“When an angel enters my body, I have a strange experience. It feels like the power of an angel is mingling with my soul.”

“Mixing power and soul?”

“I can’t describe it exactly, but it’s similar.”

This was the highlight.

“But, the unbelievable happened.”

As Leon paused, the Dwarf King spoke first.

“It must have been that the power fell off while the souls were mixed.”

“Well, how can I do that!?”

Leon shouted in surprise. However, the king’s expression seemed relaxed. It was as if all doubts had been cleared.

“Did you follow the power that fell away?”

“That’s right.”

Upon closer inspection, the story was full of loopholes.

Why did the power go out?

Why did the power that came off arrive in this deep earth?

‘It doesn’t matter.’

The father and son story fills all the reasons. The proof was the Dwarf King in front of him.

He had a face that seemed to have cleared all his doubts.

“The problem is that I pursued positions with power, but what I met was a fisherman.”

“It must not have been easy to win the favor of the fishmen.”

In this time, which was no different from war, it was naturally difficult to earn the favor of the fishmen.

‘The first time I met a fish man, he was brutal.’

That was what helped me then.

“Would you like to look at this?”

Leone pulled out the stick hanging next to him.

“Do you recognize this leaf?”

A small leaf that bloomed at the end of a stick.

“This is the leaf of the World Tree.”

“The World Tree remains.”

“Yes. I received it as a gift for helping the elves.”

“It seems that not only the World Tree survived, but also the elves. I am very fortunate.”

“Yes. There were difficulties, but thanks to the angel’s help, it was resolved well.”

An angel who helped the elves.

His own son who helped the dwarves.

All anglers fit together.

“The leaves of this World Tree have the power to control nature.”

“Did you convince the fisherman with that?”

“That’s right. I persuaded him that if it was lava before it erupted, he might be pacified with the leaves of this world tree.”

It was easy to say, but convincing the fishermen wasn’t easy.

‘It’s a shame because the fishmen’s sacred water was needed to dig the ground.’

If the item needed to dig the ground had not been for the divine item, ‘Haishinseok’, the war would have broken out long ago.

‘Thanks to that, I was able to come as a Shinigami.’

Of course, I wasn’t completely convinced.

‘It’s good if it works, not if it doesn’t.’

Leon was in such a position.

‘I don’t have anything to eat from the fishermen anyway.’

Even if you put in the ball, it was a law that you had to put your ball into the side where there was something to eat.

“okay. Did you come to get permission to calm the volcano?”

“Yes, my king. They were instinctively feeling the volcanic change.”

To Leon’s earnest request, the King of Dwarves answered.

“It is resolved. Volcanoes won’t erupt. Even the fishermen will feel the change.”

“Yes?”

When Leon asked the king in a daze.

“My son solved it.”

* * *

The king immediately moved into action.

“Send an envoy to the fish people! With the help of the priest who came as a messenger, everything was resolved, and the change will be felt!”

The king passed the ball to Leon.

And sent the servants out.

“Leave the priest, the god of death, leave everyone behind!”

“Yes! King!”

The servants left, and only Leon and the king remained. Leon put on an apologetic expression.

“My lord, I have done nothing.”

The king answered Leon’s words.

“If you think so, I have something for you from now on.”

It was obvious what he was asking for.

“Is there anything I can do to help you? I am only a priest.”

“Only you can do it. I will give you a big reward, so just do me one favor.”

Leon waited for the king’s request.

“You said you lost half.”

“you’re right.”

“Is there any way to get it back?”

Leon opened his mouth after thinking deeply.

“Actually, I don’t know. If anyone else had this experience, I wouldn’t believe it.”

“You seem to be the first too.”

“That’s right. It is not even expected in the first place that the angel made such a move because it was such an important matter.”

Upon hearing that answer, the Dwarf King spoke quietly.

“It must have been important.”

A low voice that conveys his feelings. He immediately opened his mouth.

“Try it. Summon the other half of you who has fallen away.”

“You mean here? Do you know anything?”

“… … Try it.”

The king didn’t say anything, he just said to do it.

‘great. Then, let’s go to the final finish. It’s Siri!’

[I’ll start right away.]

Leon said to the king.

“First, let’s do it.”

Leon knelt in place and put his hands together in prayer. At the same time, tremendous divine power emanated from Leon’s body.

A huge amount of holy power enough to fill the space.

The king recalled a few days ago. The scene when my son disappeared.

Just like now, tremendous divine power came out.

But back then it was a little different.

The divine power that was filling this place soon began to unite.

“Ahhh!”

Tears flowed from the sight of the king unfolding before his eyes. The son created with divine power was standing there.

“Son, my son!”

His own son created with divine power. The child licked his lips, but nothing came out.

I just kept looking at him and saying something.

“What if you go there?”

He gently touched his son.

“Son.”

Strangely, divine power was touched.

As always, the son was warm.

He was smiling as softly as he did back then.

“thank god. I’m really glad.”

Did he hear what he said? The son created by divine power hugged the king.

“Thank you for coming back.”

Such joy was short-lived, but the son’s body, which he could touch, soon began to fade.

“Don’t think of it as saying goodbye.”

But the king was not discouraged.

It was because he could see the divine power being absorbed into the body of the priest who had come as a death god.

“You will always be my son.”

Soon after, the son he was holding disappeared. And the priest, who had closed his eyes as if praying, opened his eyes.

“Thank you, King. Thanks to my other half… … .”

Tears flowed from Leon’s eyes as he continued to speak.

“Okay.”

The king comforts Leone as if he understands.

“Why are there tears?”

“Okay.”

He stroked Leon’s head.

* * *

After that, Leone acted as if he was under the influence of a half-soul from time to time.

“This is the road to the forge… … uh? How do I do this!?”

“haha. Okay. Follow me.”

The King of Dwarves was very amused whenever he saw such a scene.

“What is this priestly uniform? Where are you wearing these? Come and see. I’ll make you a strong guy.”

Starting with the new priestly uniform.

“This is a treasure trove, do you need anything? Don’t go around for treatment, if you have something to take care of it.”

various treasures.

“If you need anything, just tell me!”

The harvest time has finally begun.

‘Everything has a happy ending.’

If you look closely, it looks like only one guy has a happy ending. It must be because of the mood.
