1536 Disgust
The abnormal situation on the Siren Cliff made a mountain peak belonging to the cliff seem to be shoveled away, with a large section of nearly 50 meters in height missing. -Top-Point-Novel-
But fortunately, the ancient altar handed down by the Siren tribe was completely preserved because of Raymond's timely action, which was a blessing in disguise.
The chief priest Miori, who thought she would be blamed or reprimanded by the chief Karami for this, and was even ready to apologize to the elders of the tribe, did not wait for the expected punishment in the end. Even after she reported the loss, the chief Karami did not say a single harsh word. Instead, she was touched on the head by the chief Karami and was let go, just like when she was the chief priest's maid before.
She was puzzled, and Miori did not know how the whole incident ended.
Like all the sirens, when the thick lead cloud produced an upward vortex, she fell down because of the invisible but extremely huge pressure. Fortunately, the tribesmen who fell earlier acted as cushions under her, so Miori was not injured.
But because of this, Miori had to deal with more things. Finally, after she was busy, she remembered Raymond, the initiator, and Adolf, who called himself an "apprentice priest."
Angrily came to the single peak arranged for Raymond, and without noticing any precautions, Miori naturally broke in directly, kicked open the door of the hut, and rushed into the room.
With a loud bang, the wooden door that was not closed was almost kicked away, but Raymond was facing the door. However, he raised his eyes to look at Miori, pointed to the chair beside him with his left hand to indicate that she could sit down, and then turned his eyes back. Looking at the frustrated Adolf, he continued to wait.
Miori, who was full of anger and about to get angry, was stunned, but Adolf, who covered his face with his hands, looked like a stone sculpture, staring at his toes in a daze, and did not react to anything around him.
Miori, who didn't know what to do for a while, was a little confused at the door, but after a moment, seeing that she was still standing there, Raymond turned his head and spoke to her again. "Come in, the door has been kicked away by you. Do you want me to get up and greet you?"
Miori, whose face flushed instantly, could hear the teasing in Raymond's words, and then she came to him with her head held high, and her anger was vented in an instant.
"Lord Raymond! You have to compensate for all the losses before! Do you know how many tribesmen were injured because of this? Do you know how many buildings were damaged? Do you know how many important facilities need to be rebuilt? Do you know how many heavy defense barriers need to be repaired..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Miori, who felt more and more wronged, couldn't help but redden her eyes.
As her voice gradually became louder, the stunned Adolf finally trembled, and then he sighed.
Ignoring Miori's questioning, Raymond turned around and frowned. He shouted in a deep voice. "Adolf! You have heard all the losses clearly. All losses will be offset by those ores!"
Raymond turned around and gave Miori a look. "Okay, now you can report all the losses of the Siren tribe. If there are any omissions, I can't guarantee that Adolf will have the opportunity to bear them in the future!"
Miori, blinking, became more and more confused, but Adolf, whose eyes showed a hint of spirit as Raymond spoke, raised his face in anger. "Why? Why should their losses be compensated with my light concentrate? I didn't want to do this! None of this is my fault!"
"Then tell me! Why did the shadow of the eyes suddenly disappear? And who is the owner of those eyes? Why did it show disgust when it heard your compliments and flattery?"
"I said it before, that is the Lord of Holy Light worshipped by the Church of Holy Light! He is great and wise, graceful and generous..."
Raymond was furious when he heard these words. He stood up and pointed at Adolf and roared. "Shut up! If that's the case, why would it disappear after hearing your words of praise! Why are you so sad after the eyes disappeared!"
Adolf's expression froze, and his cheeks twitched as if he was poked in the sore spot. His chest rose and fell violently, and after a moment, he jumped up from the chair and roared. "How could I know the reason! That is the Lord of Holy Light whom I have believed in all my life! When I noticed his appearance, I naturally welcomed his coming according to the rules in the doctrine! But I also saw the disgust in his eyes, and I also felt that kind of hatred, how could I know the reason..."
Adolf, who was aggrieved, roared and roared, and his eyes became red, and tears fell down. His whole body was shaking, and finally he raised his fist and hit his head violently!
The muffled sound of bang bang bang echoed in the wooden house, and Adolf's cheeks swelled up in an instant.
But his tears kept coming, and he finally knelt on the ground in vain, roaring with tears. "That's the Lord of Light, and few people can see it. The doctrine says that only the most devout believers can obtain such glory, but why when I welcome the Lord of Light to come, I only feel the Lord of Light's disgust...
I am really a devout believer...
Please believe me, I am really the most devout believer in the Great Cathedral of Dis City...
Even when I was trapped in the world of evil creatures, I never betrayed my faith, and I never had any doubts about the Lord of Light...
Why would the great Lord of Light treat me like this..."
The clenched fists that had beaten him before hammered heavily on the floor, and the thick floor was splashed with light spots like blood.
Adolf, who was crawling on the ground, seemed to collapse, and this time Raymond also determined that he was not pretending.
The phantom of the eyes that shocked him before disappeared in a completely different way from when it appeared.
Because just when Adolf began to chant those flattering words, the eyes that had no emotions before actually showed disgust and irritability. Without even a little hesitation, they disappeared directly in the distortion of space.
And as the eyes completely disappeared, Raymond, who was extremely nervous before, felt the pressure around him relax, and the strand of "source power" captured by it, the intensity of struggle also decreased rapidly. After a few breaths, it automatically condensed into a light-like substance, which was firmly imprisoned by the isolation barrier.
Could it be that this ancestor-like existence called "Lord of Holy Light" by Adolf hated the followers of the Holy Light Church so much that it stopped recycling even its own strand of source power and chose to leave immediately?
Many speculations had been made before, but when such an idea emerged in Raymond's heart, he was increasingly recognized by him, and quickly replaced the many possibilities that had been formed by previous thinking!
However, any speculation needs to be verified before it can be confirmed, so Raymond squatted down to help Adolf up, looked directly into his eyes and said. "Could it be that the Holy Light Church you believe in has made the Lord of Holy Light so disgusting? Even those flattering words of yours are not willing to be listened to, and even a ray of the source of power is willing to give up and leave quickly?"
Adolf, with tears in his eyes, was stunned, but then his eyes turned red, and invisible force field fluctuations also occurred around him.
The body surface became a little dazzling, but Raymond, who was looking at it, did not change his expression, and was still waiting patiently!
The furious emotions accumulated in Adolf's heart, and after the powerful momentum was released, Miori was affected and had to retreat to the corner of the room, with a look of horror on her face... (To be continued...)
