Chapter 50 (1/2)
A large-scale Mass is being held in the chapel today
According to [Appraisal], this ical substances that neutralises the effects of hallucinogens
Small sake cups full of “consecrated” ere distributed throughout the chapel
When I use [Appraisal] on the wine,
《〔Good Quality〕 Wine The hallucinogen Mescaline has been mixed in》
is what appeared
Mescaline?
《Mescaline: A hallucinogen e from another world as the base It does not cause physical dependence, but there ree of eendary class skill [Condition Setting] to ensure that there is no deterioration》
Shalha Vaux is the name the owner of the historic reh he’s already dead)
I also wanted to investigate [Condition Setting], but I already used [Appraisal] twice in succession for Wine > Mescaline, so I couldn’t delve further
Believing in Grandpa Ganash’s skills, I drunk the hallucinogen-spiked wine
…Yup, there was no change in both my mind and body
After it was confirmed that everyone had drained their cups of wine, the cups were collected and the Mass finally started
Gazaine spoke of a large-scale operation that would soon take place, and then the Archbishop’s sermon took place
A gigantic human face appeared in the smoke-filled chapel
It was pale, like an apparition, but it looked unexpectedly young; it had the appearance of a young man
So this is Archbishop Glutometsa
《――Dear children of <yatagarasu>… It is finally the end of Monguenues-sa, the one who bears the title of the Evil God…》
Glutometsa’s voice itself was clear, but it so on airs
Oops, let’s not forget [Appraisal]――
Hey, this is…!
While I was stunned by surprise, Glutometsa’s speech continues
《――The underhanded techniques you’ve tempered until now… If Evil God-saly be referred to as evil as well… Bearing this resolve, use your assassination techniques to… In preparation for that moment in the near future, polish yourselves even… Dear children, absolutely don’t be negligent…》
The erewout praises, whereas I remained completely cool-headed
Let me share Archbishop Glutometsa’s [Appraisal] results
《Illusion An apparition produced by Gazaine Munzer’s legendary-class skill [Illusion Magic] 9》
In short, there was no such thing as the Archbishop
Securing the Archbishop when the religious organisation is overthroas an i the final decision, but since Archbishop Glutos will be settled quickly
The four children didn’t experience an uplift in mood because they had taken the antidote They were bewildered, but as I had instructed the deal out of it
Nebil and the others were the same
Nebil was an especially good actor; he took the initiative to start a chant in response to the Archbishop, even though he was supposed to be sober
Although Nebil’s foundations are excellent, he does make blunders once in a while
Well, the incident with the Ususake Mushrooh…
After the Mass ended and everyone left, only Elemia remained
Ele the statue of the Evil God with both hands clasped together in prayer
“Evil God-sama… Evil God-sama…”
She addressed the God
I’m worried, but now is not the time to speak
I cast a backward glance at the praying Elee Techniques] to sneak into the back of the chapel
As expected, Gazaine was there
Of course, there’s no way Archbishop Glutometsa would be there
Sensing a presence suddenly appearing behind hiaze
I greeted Gazaine with one hand and say with a cynical smile on my face,
“Hey, where did the Archbishop disappear to, Leader?”
“…So it’s you Don’t startle me”
Even though I appeared, Gazaine doesn’t seem shaken
Instead, he s at me
Gazaine knows that I don’t believe in the Evil God
Part of it , but that shouldn’t be all
I’d like to draw out the answer to that soon
There’s a risk, butobedient would probably seem more ominous to him
The other day I even slipped into a dragon’s lair, to say nothing of a tiger’s den
I won’t get cold feet this late in the game
That said, I need a smokescreen at least
I showed Gazaine the wine cup that I had pilfered before co here, and spilled its contents on the spot
“Tch… A brat with sticky fingers
Did you not drink it”
My action caused Gazaine to have a great
“It’s nificent”
“…What is?”
“This religious organisation
I thought it was a thoughtless doctrine to have people sneaking around and killing people; however, I don’t knohy but you have quite a splendid religion here”
“As usual, those aren’t a brat’s thoughts
But it’s the opposite”
“Opposite?”
“Yeah
In order to have theood”
“I see
You’re saying that a doctrine full of deceit and sophistry is necessary for that exact reason”
“A religion is generally like that anyway
Having theinary God and a heaven that doesn’t exist, and for theet about the cruel reality before their eyes is what a religion does”
The representative of this religious organisation is an incredible atheist
…I’ll say this just in case, but this is purely Gazaine’s personal opinion
I personally have no religion, but I have no intention of denying people of such
But before that, Gods really do exist here in Marquekt
They even have distinct blessings known as Skill and Levels
“I think God exists
Even the Evil God exists”
“Those guys won’t save us
They’re siovernors of the world”
“…Even the Evil God?”
“Who knows
However, he abused his power as a God and was chased from heaven”
“That’s a first”
“Abusing one’s power and being chased from heaven, isn’t it kinda chic?
Since there’s no way someone like me will be saved by God”
“Wouldn’t you be saved if you believed in the Evil God?”
“Heh How transparent You already know though
Unexpectedly, the villains worshi+p the Evil God not because of sophistication or capriciousness, but out of seriousness, you know?”
