Faith Life of a Former Scammer

089. How to subdue your opponent without fighting

Blood woke up.

The first prophecy has begun.

At the same time as the start, the entire continent was shaken.

[Formation of the Imperial Delegation.]

[Recruitment of expeditions to pioneer trade routes for nobles.]

The Empire set up official envoys, and nobles recruited expeditions.

[The decision to dispatch priests from the Holy See.]

The Holy See also made a clever move.

Priests were dispatched to missions and expeditions.

Besides that, other forces also moved to ride the trend of the times.

In the meantime, Leon had finished all the preparations and waited patiently.

Unlike the others, Leone couldn’t move recklessly.

‘From now on, it’s a different future from the past.’

Unlike before the war, it is peaceful now.

The area of the monsters is inevitably different from Leon’s memories. This was uncharted territory even for Leon.

‘Well, with Blin, there won’t be any problems wherever I go.’

That’s why I prepared Blini.

to prepare for an uncertain future.

‘It’s like leaving it to chance if you decide on a destination now.’

No matter where he chose now, it was a choice based on uncertain information and luck.

There was no way Leon would choose something like this.

‘If it’s not now, I have to go where I can’t go. I can’t afford to blow such a good opportunity.’

Besides, Leon had a plan.

After waiting for several days, Arthur’s letter arrived.

[Recommended area north, northwest. The southwest area of the forbidden area.]

In the letter Arthur sent, the ‘recommended’ and ‘forbidden’ areas were written.

‘Arthur, you cute guy!’

How does Arthur know the recommended and forbidden areas?

‘I’ll write the information carefully!’

At this point, the only person who had information was ‘Dark Curtain’.

“We are leaving! Everyone get ready!”

Once you have information, you should put it to good use.

“The destination is the southwest region!”

The area designated as a prohibited area was said not to come, but I had to go there unconditionally.

‘Unconditionally!’

In Leon’s experience, repair work in the dark has always been beneficial.

* * *

Southwestern region outside the territory of the Empire.

This place was barren and desolate.

Unlike other regions, the expedition team was the only one with Leon.

‘I didn’t choose this place for nothing.’

He seemed to understand why the Darkness had chosen this place.

In order to trade, the wagon had to be able to come and go, but this was a rocky area.

Let alone a carriage, even horses could not come except at the entrance.

“Kreung!”

“I’m glad I came with you.”

“Kreureung.”

Leone stroked the silver wolf’s neck. I would have been in trouble without this guy.

“There’s also Blin! Blinn!”

“Kreung!”

Bliny, who was watching the scene, shouted.

“okay. Blinna. Isn’t it hard to move with wolves?”

“yes! I practiced a lot. Blinn!”

Leon’s party was short-lived.

2 silver wolves. Leon and Blinn.

This was the end of the four.

It was a choice for a speed battle.

“Five. okay? Then run at full speed?”

“like!”

“Kreung!”

Leon’s party started climbing the rocky terrain.

“Leon! what is that cute thing? Blinn.”

“… … Is that cute?”

“It’s so cute. Blinn.”

“Looks like a viper? Be careful.”

The rocky terrain was barren, but plants and animals lived there. It was an environment in which monsters could live.

When you reach the depths of the rocky terrain like that.

“Kiyiik!”

“Kyik! Kiik!”

I was able to meet a goblin.

“Kiyiik!”

“Kyik? Key profit! Kiik!”

“Kikki.”

As soon as they saw it, the guys who were about to attack looked at Blin with confused faces.

“I wondered if he had done any repairs… … .”

Lyon was also in a state of surprise. No matter how I looked at them, they didn’t look like their blood had awakened.

“Can we talk, Blinn?”

“yes! I’ll be back! Blinn.”

Bliny approached them in a spirited manner.

“Suck!”

And, Blin showed his ears.

Just like a duke showing its tail, Bliny took the initiative with his ears.

“Kiik!?”

“Kei Ik… … .”

Leone was ridiculous.

‘This works.’

It worked. The guys looked at Bliny’s ears with admiration.

‘It’s the look. look.’

After all, it was the looks that ruled the world. This truth also worked for monsters.

“Key profit. Kiik!”

Bliny began to speak.

“Kiek. Key profit! Kiik.”

“Kyik? Kiik!”

… … .

After such a long conversation, Bliny approached Leon as if the story was over.

“Leon. Said we were a family. Blinn.”

“Any silver wolves?”

“yes! Blinn.”

Bliny nodded.

Leone was ridiculous.

“… … Do you believe that?”

“Absolutely! Because we feel like a family. Blinn.”

It seemed that the goblins felt the moonlight energy just like Blin did.

“So what?”

“If you give me meat, I will invite you to the village!”

“There is room for food. Shall we go?”

“yes! Blinn! Key profit! Kiik!”

At Leon’s words, Blin spoke to the goblins.

“Kyik! Kiik!”

“Kick!”

The guys started to take the lead.

‘Bixby quickly translate quickly.’

[Yes! I think I need to listen a little more!]

‘Okay.’

Bixby’s prosthetic translation system was also running.

“Blina. Talk to them, do some more.”

“like! Blinn!”

So, guided by the goblins, we moved to their village.

* * *

superstar. A title that is given only to a very few idols.

Leone saw Superstar today.

“Keeik!”

“Keeek!”

“Keee!”

Countless goblins saw Blini and screamed.

Bliny’s popularity was lacking in the word idol.

Idol among idols.

was a superstar

While Blin showed off his ears and dealt with the goblin, Lyon was also busy.

“Keeik!”

“here?”

“Keee! Kiik!”

“okay. I can tell just by looking at it.”

Divine power emanated from Leon’s body, and the injured body was restored.

“Kiik!?”

The treated guy was surprised and checked his body.

“Treatment is over.”

[‘End of treatment with anger.’ Deliver your will!]

“Kyik!? Kiik! Kiik!”

And then, an amazing thing happened.

The healed guy bowed his head in front of Rion.

“… … uh?”

I don’t know how the goblins say thank you, but it’s not like they’re bowing their heads.

This was human culture.

‘There must be someone who taught me.’

“go. I need to treat the other kids.”

[Treat the other goblins, ‘with rage. You go.’ Deliver your will!]

“Keeek!”

He hurriedly got up and went outside.

Leon continued to treat.

“Keeek!”

After the treatment, the goblin always bowed its head and went back.

When all the goblins were cured, Bliny and an old goblin holding a staff approached.

“Leon! He’s the boss! Blinn!”

“Kiek. I. Kiik. Leader.”

As expected, Leon was right.

Being able to speak human language meant that someone was here.

“Blina. Ask if humans live around here.”

Bliny immediately translated Leon’s words.

“Kyik! Key profit! Kiik!”

“Kick. Kiik… … Kick!”

The captain goblin said to Blin with a serious expression. Blin’s expression also changed strangely.

“Leon. This is weird. Blinn.”

“what?”

“There are no humans around. Instead, there is something else. Blinn.”

“why? Is there even a god?”

“Blin!”

Bliny replied in surprise.

“… … What. Say what you hear.”

“It is a great darkness. It may be different from human language, but the meaning is similar. Blinn.”

great darkness.

‘found!’

Leon’s thoughts were correct.

[Mission: Eliminating the Great Darkness.]

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

A notification window with a mission came to mind.

“Well done. Where are you from?”

The great darkness is an asshole.

It was a gift set for Leon.

* * *

When I first heard of the great darkness. There was a slight anxiety.

‘Could it be darkness?’

However, this anxiety quickly disappeared.

‘This guy doesn’t work like that.’

Read at noble mtl.com

Moving directly was not the style of darkness that Leon had observed until now.

‘This arrogant guy likes natural situations.’

He is the kind of guy who wants his plans to work out like destiny.

Arrogant, but he had the ability.

‘The great darkness is not darkness.’

Leon could be sure.

“Keeik!”

The goblins guided them to a cave between rocks. An eerie darkness shone in the cave.

“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

“Kreureung!”

“Leon. There’s something. Blinn.”

The wolves, as well as Blinn, were wary of the cave.

“it’s okay. I won’t go in.”

“Blin?”

“What?”

The guys were surprised, as if they didn’t know that Leon would say no.

“wait.”

Leone called Siri right away.

‘Hey Siri. That darkness, analyze it.’

[Contact with darkness using divine power.]

White divine power flowed from Leon’s body and approached the cave.

[Contact.]

Let the holy power and black energy come into contact.

Chii profit!

With a strange sound, the black energy began to disappear.

‘Is it dark magic?’

The energy that was destroyed by the divine power was only black magic.

[Similar yet different.]

‘Tell me briefly.’

[It seems to be a power derived from ancient black magic.]

‘Is that the one who transformed from the ancient black magic?’

[That’s right.]

Then there was nothing complicated about it.

“Blina. Do you know why I said no?”

“I don’t know. Blinn.”

“Looking at it, it’s his territory, right? It’s obvious that it’s going to be hard once you get in. It’s a trap, I’m sure you’ve prepared a lot.”

“Right. Blinn.”

There was no need to fight in his territory.

“There’s something a great strategist once said. It is best to subdue without fighting.”

“Blin?”

“ruler. I’ll show you how.”

“Blin!”

After Leone approaches the place where darkness cannot reach.

“You can do it like this.”

Rion took out the club from her waist and fully charged her holy power.

“Grow up. trust!”

Enormous divine power emanated from the stick and poured into the cave.

Chii-i-i—!!

The darkness disappeared, and the divine power rushed in endlessly.

“Voila. Can we not fight like this?”

“… … Blinn.”

The boy nodded with a puzzled face.

“There is nothing wrong with what the old sages said. It’s a precious meaning to hit the ground so that you can’t fight.”

“Bul, Blinn.”

“Kong.”

Everyone knew that he didn’t mean it, but no one refuted it.

After the divine power disappeared like that.

“It goes in. Blin?”

“Huh. You can’t do that.”

Leon shook his head.

“Blin, that’s the scariest thing in the world to be careless.”

“Blin?”

“Grow up. trust!”

Divine power pours in once more.

“Faith Light Spray!”

pouring one more time

“Anyway, faith!”

Let’s keep pouring.

“You madman! stop it!”

A guy wearing a robe walked out from the inside.

“Grow up. trust!”

Leon was not vigilant.

I poured divine power into him.

“aagh! stop! stop it! You lunatic!”

when the guy struggles.

“Ask so as not to die!”

sent the wolves

“I’m sorry. Blinn.”

Except for Bliny.

“What?”

“Kreung.”

The faces of the wolves also seemed trembling.

“Can I not attack?”

“Kong!”

He was already incapacitated.

“great. I’m going to be tied up. Blinn, you go to town and get a bucket and some water.”

“Blin?”

“You have a lot to ask. In this case, ask for ‘water’.”

Water knows everything… … .

“No. God knows.”

Seongsu knows everything.
