Chapter 134

“Irene?”
“Princess!”
Why is Irene here? I blinked my eyes. As soon as she got out of the carriage, she shouted with an urgent face.
“That person, you can’t follow him!”
“What?”
Irene ran this way and grabbed my sleeve.
I asked the important question first.
“Irene, why are you here? Did you follow me?”
Is she following me?
“Well, I went to the Dukedom to meet the princess, and I saw you riding in the carriage with that person…….”
This means that she did follow me.
While I was speechless for a while, Irene bit her lips.
“That’s not what’s important right now. Princess, you know me very well, right? The one who easily falls in love with anyone.”
Irene is a Geumsapa. I don’t know how important that is at this point. At that time, Irene continued.
“I fell for Confucius Seacomert once. That’s why I know. How dangerous he is.”
“What?”
“He’s dangerous, princess, you must never go with that person. I don’t know what he’s going to do, but I’m sure……..”
“Ah, so annoying.”
Then a low voice touched my ear. The next moment, Irene rolled around with a “pock” sound.
“Irene!”
“This beggar suddenly pops up. Ck.”
“What are you doing right now?”
Irene, who fell to the floor, clanked her stomach. Is this guy crazy? Did he just kick her?
The madness of Inner Seacomert didn’t end there. As soon as he kicked Irene, he took the dagger out of his arms and threw it at Sir Keith.
“Ughh!
“Sir!”
“It’s useless. He’ll die eventually. I’ve poisoned it.”
As if to prove his words, Sir Muscle Keith knelt with a pale complexion.
Inner Seacomert left the two behind and dragged my wrist into the temple.
My hat came off and my hair was messy. I conflicted as I was dragged away by my wrist.
There are two vital spots of Inner Seacomert that I can see right now. Between the broken right wrist and crotch.
I felt like I wanted to kick both parts at the same time, but I held it in for now.
I wanted to see what his purpose was after all this fuss.
The inside of the temple was dark. Amazingly, Inner Seacomert is walking without hesitation like this.
Soon a room appeared through a long corridor. Inner Seacomert threw me in there like a throw.
“We’ve got the target. High Priest.”
Oh, my wrist. And my knees.
I lost my balance and hit my knee on the floor as I fell. Tears poked up because of the pain. That bastard.
I wasn’t going to keep him alive from the beginning, but now my patience is really gone. I’m going to split him into 108 pieces.
I raised my head as I determined my resolve.
Unlike the hallway, the room was as bright as it was.
There was a shadow of fire on the wall as if the torch had been left on.
The figure in the long robe turned away.
“Good job, Inner. I knew you’d make it.”
I made an impression when I saw him. It was an old man I had never seen before.
‘He’s the High Priest he says?’
Inner Seacomert called the old man as High Priest.
I knew the face of the High Priest of Temple of The Time. Well, he looks milder than that. It’s about a thousand times milder.
I vaguely remember the face of the High Priest Temple of Love. Well, his face looks more generous than this face. A lot.
The conclusion is that the old man is neither from the Temple of Time nor the Temple of Love.
Then there’s only one thing left.
The moment I thought so, the old man introduced himself.
“This is the first time we met. Let me introduce myself. I am a representative of this glorious land, serving the God of Destruction.”
As expected, the Temple of Destruction.
I stood up and looked at the old man, enduring the sour pain coming from my wrists and knees.
“Do you do this because you’re God’s representative? Is this also the will of that glorious God?”
After being sarcastic, the old man’s wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly. He stretched his thin lips with a smile.
“You’re so bold. Even in this situation. Well, that’s why you did it.”
‘I did it?’
“You know what this is?”
The old man lifted a cloth in front of me. As the old man said, it was really what I did.
“The Enchanted Cloth?”
As expected, you know that, too. Well, it’s questionable where you heard the name from.”
What, why is that here? I handed over the enchanted cloth to the Emperor while accusing the temple of love.
Oh. Suddenly, I could see what the old man was saying.
“It’s so mysterious. How the hell did I know? Even within the temple, only a few have known the existence of the fabric.”
The old man continued, as he stroked the temple wall as if it were precious.
“Even the place where the fabric was hidden was only known by the High Priest itself. I’m really curious, how do you know? Unless the old man has gone crazy and told you by himself?”
“That’s why you brought me here? For revenge?”
Stealing the enchanting cloth and accusing The Temple of Love?
Was that it?
I’m speechless. The most ridiculous thing is that the accusation was made to the Temple of Love, but why is the Temple of Destruction coming for revenge instead?
Is that how sticky their relationship is? They must be soulmates, huh?
At that time, the old man in Daeshin Hall opened his mouth.
“Revenge? No way. That can’t be.”
“No?”
“It’s not revenge. I brought you here for a far greater purpose than that.”
I narrowed my brows. I didn’t know what he was talking about. A greater purpose?
“I’ve already checked, but let me ask you one question. Have you ever manipulated a monster using the fabric that you stole, to be exact, from the Temple of Love?”
“Why do you ask?”
“I can see that you’ve done it. That’s why you handed it over to the Emperor. It must have looked dangerous.”
Instead, the High Priest opened his eyes again. His eyes were thinner like threads, so it was almost indistinguishable from the wrinkles on his face.
“Good job. You did a great job. Thanks to it, we’ve come to know your existence.”
“What?”
“I’ll let you know, actually there are two Enchanted Clothes.”
I grew my eyes. What?
“One at the Temple of Love, one at the Temple of Destruction, from the day there was an oracle about the Goddess.”
“……..”
“The one we, and Temple of Love, were hoping for was only one. To rebuild the holy empire.”
Holy Empire, what the Emperor has guessed was true.
The old man continued to speak in a hoarse voice.
“Of course, we needed force to rebuild the empire. That’s also an overwhelming force.”
“That’s why we decided to build an army. Using the Goddess from the oracle of course. You saw this fabric and said this was the enchanted cloth, but that’s not the real name of this fabric.”
Then?
“It is the delusions cloth.”
At first glance, I didn’t know what was different at all.
The difference between the two soon came out of the old man’s mouth.
“Do you think that this purpose was to attract people? It’s just for blindfolding. It was originally designed to deceive the Goddess and manipulate her.”
“……..!”
What? Manipulate the Goddess?
“The Goddess controls the monster with this cloth, and we control the Goddesses like that. Isn’t it interesting?”
It wasn’t funny. It was more grim and ugly.
Oh, my God, that’s what it was designed for.
“If a human of the divine nature wears this cloth, the person can handle the monster, and we can deal with the person. That’s what I made it. It took as long as 10 years. It’s been a long time.”
“……….”
I recalled Kim Go-dong, or as Brown, <The Spring of The Goddess Agritta> which he wrote while looking at the future.
In the book, it says that Agritta was the Goddess, and she was not born with anything divine. Therefore, he was not someone who was touched by God.
After marrying the crown prince and becoming empress, she did so many good deeds that the people called him a Goddess.
‘You were planning to screw it up anyway.’
Those idiots.
Even if it’s a coincidence, I existed anyway. The soul was chosen by the God of Destiny, and perhaps in the process, it was divine or whatever.
‘That’s why I was able to use the enchanted cloth.’
In the cave, Gyergg said that not everyone would be able to bring out the effects of the enchanted cloth. But he also said that I could.
I didn’t know the reason back then, but this was it. I’m finally convinced.
At the same time, I also knew why I had to be brought here. There was an answer to the old man’s words.
“So, I’m the Goddess who’s going to control the fabric?”
“I don’t know if you’re really the Goddess from the oracle. But it is clear that you have a divinity. Isn’t that enough?”
“…..how do you manipulate it, with the fabric?”
“You’ll find out after you wear this cloth.”
Oh, yeah. Anyway, I have to put it around.
As it is now, seeing with my eyes only doesn’t work.
All right. I looked straight at the old man and spoke out.
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“I’ve heard the plan well. It was a great plan to become a traitor till the moment you get caught and get your head on the wall.”
“Heuh, would you be afraid of the Emperor and the Imperial Army when you could control the Monsters?”
“That’s the story after the monster’s army formation, and if you get caught before you make it, you’re all dead, right?”
It’s like the Temple of Love. The old man made an impression.
“What do you want to tell me?”
“That.”
I pointed to Inner Seacomert. Inner Seacomert, who stood silently at the entrance and was suddenly pointed at me, narrowed his forehead.
“What do you believe in that creature and put him in your plan? He’s not a priest. What if he accuses and throws you out and tries to save himself alone?”
“What? Who are you…….”
“I was wondering what you were going to say, was that it? There’s nothing to worry about. Inner won’t betray me.”
“How do you believe that? It’s a world where children hit the back of their parents, it’s getting too complacent.”
The old man chuckled at my words. He looked at me and said.
“If you’re so curious about it, I’ll tell you. We have evidence that Inner can never betray.”
