Chapter 148 – The Night Before the Storm (8)

“It is true that we have tried to repay that grace, but we are still far from lacking.

With the elves gathered, Serenian performed his ritual. This ceremony of gathering together to repay the gods of the sky has long been a unique event in Eden.

Elfs as well as dwarves were participating with a reverent expression, and only Lua, who fell into chaos at the appearance of the unexpected dwarves, was tied to a pole in a daze.

However, the ceremony that was originally held at night when the sun went down has now been performed during the day.

This is what Seunghyeon had told Serenian in advance, and Serenian was the only one who knew in detail how the spirit of the sky would respond to the elves’ consciousness, so the others couldn’t hide their awkwardness.

“So we just have to show him our best.”

[Elf’s Prayer – Return]

Leaving those various reactions behind, Serenian proceeded with the ceremony. An event with elves and world capitals. The World Tree also expresses gratitude, and that is by releasing the sap containing its own power through its leaves and sending it up to the sky.

“…”

Seung-hyeon, who was already watching it, saw the small water droplets running backwards over the flowerpot and held up a small glass jar he had prepared in advance.

But there was work to be done before harvesting them. He got up from his seat and opened all of them that he had installed on the veranda window in advance to cover the windows that were pouring in the sun on a lazy weekend afternoon.

“Look. Heaven is answering our greetings.”

As the veranda where the light disappeared suddenly became dark, of course darkness came to the world inside the flowerpot in an instant.

After praying, Serenian looked up at the sky and smiled at the sap of the World Tree that shimmered like stardust in the dark and went up to the sky. .

“Ah…Ugh…”

Of course, seeing this for the first time, Lua’s reaction was more intense. Lua, who was in a state of confusion about what they were doing, shook his head as if it was not real, and lost his language without being able to say anything.

However, the change of day and night was only the first part of Seung-hyeon’s response to those who expressed their gratitude to him.

“A light appeared in the sky again.”

“It is the light of the divine spirit!”

After harvesting all the sap from the World Tree, Seunghyeon turned on the mirror ball. In the veranda darkened by blackout curtains, the flashing lights of the mirror ball run amok. The lights in the world in the flowerpot are the mystery itself, shimmering in the wide and sacred sky as a drawing paper.

Everyone admired the sky and was in awe of the sight.

A miracle that moves the sky freely. It was only natural for Lua, who knew nothing, to be overwhelmed by the appearance of an existence that could not be doubted as a godhead.

“Do you understand now? What kind of existence did you dare to deny?”

“Oh no! I believe. Believe!”

While others were giving thanks to the sky, Serenian approached Lua with a faint smile.

She shuddered with genuine terror, but she desperately nodded her head and shouted that she believed. She is a capable knight with a guaranteed future thanks to her outstanding skills and talent, but now she is only a weak human being in her late teens.

Even after seeing the fragments of the enormous power that dominates the world, her heart was not strong enough to dare to open her eyes and stick to her convictions.

“You lie again. It seems you really want to apologize with your life.”

“Yes?! It can’t be! No!”

However, Serenian judged her words to be false. Of course, Lua was frightened and struggled. Because this time, it was a perfect sincerity that didn’t even have time to think about anything else.

Of course Serenian knew that Lua had told her truth. It’s just that I’m forced to go over it once to mark this strategy.

“Our comrades, the Dwarves, also said they would pay their respects to God in their own way, so now it is their turn.”

Turning her back on Lua, who cried and begged, Serenian continued her ritual. The dwarves Aaron led also became members of Eden, so they too wanted to repay in their own way.

“Ah.”

“It is day again.”

Seunghyeon watched it all and pulled back the blackout curtain. Then, the sunlight shone down on the world in the flowerpot that regained light again, and this time, the dwarves, led by Aaron, stepped forward to prepare something.

“These livestock will be evidence to show how much we have grown based on the grace of heaven.”

Without a means such as the World Tree, Aron decided to express her own mind in conjunction with her own tradition. It was to sacrifice animals and offer prayers.

The animal to be offered as a sacrifice is one of the livestock they brought from their homeland and carefully raised and fattened.

However, the difference from tradition is that a method different from stabbing the heart with a knife was used to end the animal’s breath.

“Place the beast that was killed with the gunpowder given by God, and with the gun made according to the Bible given by God, on the altar.”

With gunshots, Aaron had the livestock, shot in the head and breathless, placed on top of an altar of wood. The dwarves clung to the heavy yak’s corpse with solemn faces and moved it together.

‘Why, why don’t you light the fire?’

Although Lua trembled with fear, she watched the process and questioned it. It was because the Dwarves had finished all the preparations and were sitting on their knees waiting for something without lighting the fire.

“… Huh?”

She noticed the change when her smoke began to rise and she smelled something burning. It was only then that Lua noticed that the sun’s light, which should have fallen evenly on all points, was only strong at one point.

“Oh! God accepts our offerings!”

As Aaron saw Seunghyeon burning an ant-sized sacrifice with sunlight collected through his lens, he accepted it as a sign that God had answered their prayers.

In the midst of the Dwarves cheering enthusiastically and the elves responding, Serenian glanced at Lua, who was trembling in fear to the extent that drops of sweat dripped down her chin.

Lua’s body was trembling involuntarily, completely swallowed up in fear, and her wildly shaking eyes were on the corpse of the beast, which was burning with smoke.

She can guess what will happen to her after she sees the same pile of wood under the iron pole she is tied to.

“God will punish you.”

“Hee, hee hee!”

From noble mtl dot com

Serenian culminated that fear. Not just death, but a divine punishment. Rua, who shed tears again at the words that she might suffer even after her death, shook her black bobbed hair and screamed.

‘I’m sorry that I seem to be bothering you, but I’m not really burning you anyway.’

Seunghyeon was also watching. He laughed bitterly, but the sunlight, collected by the camera lens in his hand, moved slowly past the sacrificial beast.

The sight of the toxic, powerful sun light scorching the ground and slowly approaching her who was tied up was a fear that Lua couldn’t have.

As with sacrifices, the overwhelming fear of being burned alive by the sun’s rays.

“Queen! The human has fainted!”

“Please have mercy.”

Originally, she was going to go a little further so that she could feel the heat, but Lua’s mentality was weaker than that, and Lua, who was screaming for help, bit her body with bubbles before the sunlight approached. I was stretched out and passed out.

Serenian hurriedly stepped forward and blocked the sunlight with his body. Seeing this, Seunghyun immediately put the lens away.

It was agreed upon in advance that Lua would not be killed, but in the eyes of the majority of the villagers who do not know her true circumstances, she threw her body and her god reacted and turned her into a figure that really showed her mercy. It was only visible.

“A scary person.”

Putting the lens in, Seunghyun smiled as he looked down at Serenian being supported by the other elves and Lua being transported to another place after being freed from restraint.

Serenian’s ability as a politician was growing day by day.

‘It’s almost done.’

And the same goes for Serenian, who smiled as the plan worked out without any variables.

In the midst of escaping the scene, the corner of Serenian’s mouth went up little by little as he lowered his head.
