The Devil Who Grants Wishes

106 – Runaway (3)

The patterns engraved on Lucia are exactly the same as those engraved on Iris.

In other words, I can also feel Lucia’s five senses.

And the five senses that felt that way… I received a little more heat than I thought.

‘These damn bastards…’

The magic tower felt through Lucia’s sight and hearing is literally full of harmful things to Lucia.

All kinds of guys are aiming for Lucia.

Despite the fact that I can only feel the five senses because I am not present at the scene, I feel very clearly that eyes filled with all sorts of desires are glancing at Lucia. It is certain that Lucia, who is at the scene herself, feels this feeling more than I do.

[Now, please look here this time. This is-]

‘This bastard…’

Pretending to guide Lucia, she sneakily tries to hold her hand.

Of course, Lucia frowned and removed her hand, but the guides to the Mage Tower didn’t flinch at all.

Through the shared magic pattern, Lucia’s displeasure has been transmitted a lot, no joke.

Ugh… did you just entrust Lucia to infiltrate the Mage Tower? Should I have taken the risk of getting caught and just went straight in and searched through them?

Yeah, I’d rather go now and make a fuss

[Dad, don’t worry too much.]

[…Lucia.]

At that moment, telepathy comes flying from Lucia riding the crest.

It’s not just telepathy. Feeling the reactions I showed, endless joy and satisfaction are also coming in together.

[It’s bearable enough. And hurry up, daddy has to do his job.]

[…I get it. If that’s Lucia’s will, I’ll do my job, but if it’s difficult, tell me right away.]

[Yes, thank you.]

Like Iris, Lucia, who can feel my emotions, shakes off my insecurities in an adult way. At first glance, he seems more like an adult than me.

Oh… you grew up well.

As Lucia said, the Mage Tower will have to trust Lucia, so I have to do my job quickly.

“Faust, we must go there, not there.”

At that moment, Iris’s slightly pouting voice is heard.

Looking at the place where Iris’ finger points, she sees her destination, the church.

The church is so shabby and old that it cannot be called a church, and it is so full of holes and collapsed that it cannot be protected from rain and wind.

“Thank you. I almost got lost walking while thinking about something else for a while.”

“It’s not that I’m thinking about it, but I’m talking to you.”

Ah, since Iris also has sentences, you can hear the conversation between Lucia and me.

Uh… um… I forgot.

I can’t use this excuse anymore.

“…Anyway, let’s go.”

church.

In general, the church in Noah means the church that follows the faith of Serapia, that is, the light.

This is because the Serapian faith has the most extensive influence in this world, and the faiths that believe in other divinities do not have as systematic a belief structure as the Serapian Church.

So, in terms of the earth, it can be seen as the difference between Christianity and shamanism.

The belief in shamanism certainly exists, but it is not systematically held and there is no central point, so just as each shaman plays independently, those who serve other divine beings in Noah’s world act similarly.

“Celestine, what do you feel?”

“It doesn’t feel as expected. This building is obviously a church serving the god of light, but I don’t feel the divine power of Seraphia. The same goes for other divine powers.”

But the church we see now doesn’t fit that at all.

It is obviously a church, but it may be a temple, a shrine, or a cathedral that serves a certain god, but there is no divine power felt here.

“What happened? It’s obviously a church that serves the god of light, but why doesn’t it have divine power?”

“Because this is the church that was built before Serapia killed the previous god of light and usurped the god of light. It’s only natural that you don’t feel any divine power as you serve the previous god of light, that is, a dead god.”

“…!?”

The mouths of Lena, who had been spitting out questions, and Celestine and Iris, who had been silently listening by the side, were instantly blocked. The reaction was similar to being hit in the back of the head with a hammer, so I was startled at the moment.

Other churches serving the god of light in the past had already been destroyed and demolished a long time ago, but since this is Eilyuje, the city of magicians, the individual’s faith is quite weak, and the nature of the city makes it difficult for Serapianism to penetrate, so it is possible that the church remains like this. there was.

It’s ruined enough to be seen as ruins, just like looking at the ruins of ancient Greek temples to say that they’re left, but… Anyway, the appearance of the church isn’t important.

“But the bowl is intact. Even though it’s so shabby, it’s a place that once held the followers of light. It’s a very good passage to connect to the corpse of a god who has already died.”

“then…”

“If the Mage Tower becomes a dungeon and as a result, the mana accumulation at the top of the Mage Tower goes out of control, use this church as a lightning rod and pour the runaway mana into this Church of the Dead God. I might be able to stop it.”

No matter how dead a god is, the fact that he was once a god does not change, so it can be used as a very good magic material.

Of course, since this is not a game, but a reality, the dead god of light may be dissatisfied with using the last remaining church and his corpse as magic materials, but it is not for self-interest, but to save people’s lives. I’m writing it, so I’ll take a look.

“Celestine, stay here and start working. Lena and Iris should stick together to escort the now defenseless Celestine, just in case.”

“Yes, that would be nice.”

“Uh… yes, I see.”

“I really want to investigate the dead light god, but I’m more busy right now, so I can’t do that… Whoa.”

Lena readily agrees to see if she thinks my opinion is right, Iris hates it, but like Lena, she barely agrees to see if she thinks this is right, and Celestine, barely holding back the desire to investigate the Church of the Dead God, finishes the church with all the magic tools she received from me. Start working on remodeling.

“Now I just have to solve the dungeon conversion.”

Preventing damage from dungeonization is surprisingly simple.

The reason for the great damage caused by the dungeonization of the mage tower in the original work is that the mage tower instantly turned into a dungeon, and the mage tower with high purity and large amount of mana spewed out strong monsters and monsters in the blink of an eye.

Because the work progressed so quickly, the wizards didn’t have time to respond properly, so they were killed by the monsters and monsters, and the monsters and monsters popped out of the dungeon and rioted at the Aileu Festival, resulting in a huge number of victims.

In other words, you just have to give the wizards time to respond properly, and the monsters and beasts are handled by the warrior party and the people who are not capable of fighting are evacuated or protected.

That’s why Lucia’s role in infiltrating the Mage Tower is very important.

You have to look around the lab and find out which research makes the Mage Tower a dungeon.

[Were you dissatisfied here too? If so, let’s go over there next time.]

Lucia is… working hard on her job.

Then, as Lucia said earlier, I should work hard on my work.

First of all, I need to build a huge defensive magic circle surrounding the Mage Tower to protect those who don’t have the ability to fight.

Pareus-

“…What!?”

As always, savoring the faith sent by the livestock, Serafia, who had intentionally created death and crisis, suddenly felt her whole body tremble.

As if you get goosebumps from seeing something scary, as if adrenaline rushes through your body when you see a predator in front of you, Serapia trembles as if she has a physical body despite not having a physical body.

There is only one case in which a person who has fully attained divine status and is sublimated to a high-ranking existence feels this.

when their reputation is threatened.

“What the hell is going on… what the hell…”

Urgently using the eyes of followers all over the world, Serapia endures an enormous amount of visual information while trying to figure out what happened.

But Serafia can’t figure out what the hell happened.

Serapia’s followers are very rare in Eilyu Festival.

Of course, people have individual differences, so of course there are, but of course such believers do not go to nameless churches that have changed too shabby and close to historic sites.

“Faust again… kuh, I didn’t believe in filthy demons either.”

However, it is not difficult to guess what the cause of this phenomenon is.

Because there is only one person in the world who would do such a heinous thing, Faust.

“I found… what?”

In the end, Serapia accepts the burden on the lower world and begins to search the lower world with her own eyes, and eventually finds the cause.

However, there is no sense of achievement that he managed to find the cause through all the hardships. Serafia’s eyes caught something unbelievable.

“That’s from someone who’s already backwards…”

Seeing Faust’s party in the already dead church, Serafia is greatly embarrassed.

I couldn’t imagine what I could do with it, but Serafia instinctively sensed the danger of losing her dignity, so Serafia couldn’t just sit still.

In the end, Serafia decides to do something similar to what she did once in the Islands before.

A burden on the summer? It doesn’t matter. Because it is more important to Serapia that she does not lose her dignity.
