Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

Those Who Seek God

Although it is more like a tribal group than a kingdom,

It is said that there is a country in the Eastern Plains called the Suin Kingdom.

“There are many tribes among the prisoners. And there are many victories. A king of beasts who can unite them all shouldn’t exist in the first place.”

There are some Rangin people like Roka, and maybe there are Myoin people or Towin people.

Hoin, Yoho, Sain, Join, Ungin… Originally, countless number of beasts were different species, and it is said that they lived and lived in the plains.

“Isn’t the eastern plains a horsey plain, a grassland, but a barren plain? It’s amazing that so many races could live in such a place.”

“So… there are many races, but the numbers themselves are small. Because there was a clan with only a few dozen people in one race.”

Only after drinking a cup of tea, Kisea, who was a little more genuine now, spoke again.

“So it was easy to go extinct. Compared to you humans, our race was weak from the start. It’s natural because we can’t even compete with the number of people in the first place.”

“So in the past, when humans invaded the plains and all the beasts were in danger, the beast leaders of that era decided to leave their race and join forces. The beast kingdom was established at that time. Even the position of King of Beasts was a temporary position created because of the crisis.”

Even if the number of heads was combined, it could not catch up with humans, but in the state of being divided, it would have been a loss at least. Beasts aren’t fools either, so they would have joined forces to protect their home in the war with humans.

“At that time, it was Epirna of the Hoin tribe who ascended to the throne. At that time, he was the chieftain of the Hoin tribe, which was called the snow lake of the grassland.”

“The only thing our ancestors overlooked at that time was that beasts could be more dangerous than humans. Epirna… ruled the steppes for hundreds of years after that. He rarely reveals his face to the outside, and he deified himself by mobilizing his servants.”

Rocca hesitated.

“Isn’t Epirna the name of the goddess of the meadow? I am so…”

“I am not yet a god. I am just a hopeful person who wants to become a god. For that ambition, she betrayed the leaders of the beasts immediately after defeating the humans.”

Including the blue wolf and the gray wolf and the wolf clan,

He purged all forces that could pose a threat to him, even in the slightest bit, Langwang said. But how? Was the power of the Hoin tribe that followed her that strong?

If from the beginning the power of the Hoin tribe was strong enough to overwhelm all other forces, wouldn’t it have been a problem to have founded the Tiger Kingdom from the beginning without having to borrow the frame of the beast kingdom? I thought so.

“Of course not.”

When I asked that question, Kisea-san squeaked in denial.

“I borrowed it. Just like that Citadel apprentice did. No, in terms of time, this one is much earlier. Epirna… borrowed a monster from Grimudo. That number is five. It was enough to drive out powerful beast races like the Bear Clan and the Wolf Clan.”

“Greumu too…?”

This time, I was really surprised. He seemed to hear his name wherever he went.

It seemed as if all the chaos in the world had something to do with him. The Demon King didn’t curl up in the Arctic Fortress for a long time, but seemed to be doing a lot of this and that.

“Is that true?”

“Aerial monster Griffin. The petrified monster Cockatrice. Manticore Manticore. Underworld Deathworm. Poisonous beast Hydra. It was probably the first and last time that his monstrous corps had so many sorties. Why would I lie about this?”

to do, it is There was no reason to lie.

“You humans are always like that. I have no interest in the barren grasslands. Whatever happens in the Eastern Plains, I don’t care. This land will be abandoned to you.”

“It’s strange. Didn’t the Doge Andorph of the Citadel pay the fruit of the World Tree to borrow a terrestrial beast? But five, what did Epirna pay for?”

The Empress, who was listening, tilted her head.

“The Demon Lord is different from people like us. It doesn’t take into account the political consequences. No matter how great Epirna is, she has no ability to threaten the demon lord and borrow a monster. What were you negotiating with? Was the Demon King holding something appealing to the taste buds?”

“I don’t know. What is certain is that Epirna is in some kind of cooperation with the Demon Lord.”

“What do you mean?”

“The cooperation between the apprentice and the demon king was one-off. The apprentice gave the goods, and the demon king lent the monster. But this deal, I think, is more long-term. Even now, there are three monsters left, and they are obeying orders under Epirna.”

Langwang crossed his arms and looked at Loka.

I can’t believe that Nana and Empress Mama are human after all, but Roka, a family member, seemed to open their hearts without realizing it. When I looked at Rocca, I could feel her expression getting warmer.

“Our gray wolf was destroyed by Epirna, wandering the frontiers of the meadow, and eventually had to hide in the wide world. The tribe that once wielded the supremacy of the plains has fallen shabby. It probably won’t be anyone else’s business to you either.”

The child nodded with a heavy expression on his face. It was the human who broke this child’s tribe. However, it was the same beasts who drove the tribe to that area and made them fight for territory with humans.

“Are you really hearing this for the first time? Didn’t the elders of the tribe tell you this?”

“It’s something I didn’t know. Now that I think about it, probably no one in our tribe knew about it. Because no one ever said anything like that. Because I never even said anything.”

“The tradition of the blue wolf has already been cut off… just like many beasts have already…”

The child, who had a bit of a heavy heart, took out a star candy and bit it. Empress Mama and Kisea Ms. Empress Mama and Ms. Kisea also reached out to the open sacks and picked up star candy one by one, as if interested in seeing Roca eating deliciously. When I put it in my mouth and bit it, I heard a clicking sound.

“Gosh.”

The Empress frowned for a moment. Then he spit it out immediately.

“Hey. What if a young child is already chewing on a stone? Later, when I get older, like me, I suffer from bad teeth.”

“It’s delicious. It’s good for your teeth.”

However, it seemed that humans had human methods and wolves had wolves methods.

As if it was better than I thought, I chewed on a star candy and took another one and put it in my mouth. I am really envious of people whose teeth get healthier the more they chew on hard things.

If humans follow such things, their teeth will not become strong, but they should be prepared for their teeth to come out.

🥺 After eating two of them, Kisea opened her mouth to look at Roca again.

“We wolves know satisfaction. No matter how great a desire you may have, once you achieve that desire, you will not look to the next one. But tigers are different. She has very big ambitions.”

“Becoming a God?”

“okay. That woman can no longer be satisfied with the worldly king. It’s not like I’m aiming for an emperor. That girl wants to be a god. But even though I was able to put that ambition into practice earlier, the reason I am still waiting is probably because there are three gods.”

In the end, even God has ups and downs. If one would be satisfied with beliefs such as ancestor gods, tribal gods, and barbarians, such a god is rather inferior to the king of a country.

If a person named Epirnah would have been satisfied with that level, it would have been more than enough to achieve his goal earlier. But it is a kind of deterioration. It’s not getting better, it’s getting worse.

However, if you are aiming for a position as a substitute, that means that you will soon become a competitor to the three gods.

They are the three gods who tried to take over the empire by responding proactively to the affairs of the world. You wouldn’t be happy to see a competitor who could threaten the throne directly.

Does Epirna’s ambition go beyond that check and increase the number of principals to six? Have you been hunkering down for a chance for that?

Or maybe he wants to become a god powerful enough to subdue the five main gods at once?

‘Monster. And God.’

and grimy too. Three keywords went round and round in my head. There seemed to be no interlocking parts, but when I thought about it a bit more, it wasn’t necessarily the case.

‘The reason God usually does not have a body is because the body that cannot withstand the divine will collapse.’

Even the three gods, who seem to have taken over all the faiths of the continent, have one weakness if you think about it.

Because of that weakness, they must mobilize saints and paladins and borrow the power of the Kingdom to influence reality. Since there is no body that can affect reality, you must create an incarnation and send it down to go directly. The divine power required in the process is astronomical.

Including the three gods and the evil god Oberta, all four goddesses are of human origin. They were once human, but they were myths and became gods.

The reason they don’t have a body is not because they want to, but because their body could not withstand it and disintegrated in the process of consolidating the Godhead.

Spirituality is like that. must be in balance with each other. When one becomes strong enough to overwhelm the other, the other is eventually eliminated and only one remains.

Am I not going through that process right now? Thinking like that, there was an analogy.

‘In the case of an ancient god, the law of the universe is the body, and it is strong enough to overwhelm the mind, so the mind can’t stand it and it collapses.’

In this case, the physical side of the spirit and body is so powerful that, on the contrary, the mind cannot stand it and it collapses.

‘Then, what the person named Epirna is aiming for is…’

Let’s keep it simple. The body of a monster is much stronger than that of a human.

Don’t you think you have enough room to withstand the replacement?

‘To have a body… to become a god.’

The deity itself is similar to the three gods, or it is okay to be a little apart. No, it certainly doesn’t matter if it’s a hat.

If you only have the greatest advantage of having a body and being able to act directly in this reality, you will be able to deal with the three gods at the same time even if you have a lack of divinity compared to the three gods.

If this conjecture is indeed correct, it also holds true why Grimudo is helping Epirna.

The demon lord is serious about exploring areas he does not know. A god with a monster body? It’s worth seeing, no matter what the cost.

Renting a few monsters to see the scene would not have been difficult for him at all.
