Please Stop The Pope-Chapter 71

"Are you here!"

What are those 40 men, women, and children in black suits?

Even if the big brother was in the place of the Holy Father, the atmosphere was not awkward.

I let out a small sigh as I leaned over to greet them. He looked at Luna and insinuated.

"Is that what you did?"

"As soon as you join the Order, it is only natural that you should risk your life to protect His Holiness the Holy Father, the Vicar of Remen and the First Apostle! It's an honor that no one would have had in Eden."

"What the hell......."

What happened in my absence?

I looked at our newcomers with a reluctant expression. One of them was Jaemin, one of the first members I had personally recruited into our church, and as soon as he made eye contact with me, he fell down and shouted, "Hey, I don't know."

"Long live the Holy Father! Hurrah! Glory be to Limen!"

“…… Phew."

"It was mainly about ideological education. For three whole days, I rolled it so that I could experience it in my body. Do you like it?"

"How the hell can I do that...... Not. It's my fault for trusting you, Luna."

If I had stayed a few more days, I would have been in serious trouble.

All I was expecting was a bunch of green newcomers, but to accept this level of madness in just three days.

You've almost poisoned South Korea.

Still, thanks to Luna bringing in a lot of newcomers, a certain amount of security seems to be maintained.

People were just taking pictures of me from afar, and no one thought to pounce on me.

I smiled and waved to the crowd.

He muttered quietly.

"I'm already feeling like I'm getting sick."

"No, so Your Holiness. What about my gift?"

"That's right. I forgot to leave it in Japan. Do you want to go get it?"

"Hey, where is the person who goes to get the gift? My lovely subordinate gave up all his free time to devote himself to educating new ........"

Luna was about to start sucking my life out of her at breakneck speed.

The people who had been showering me with enthusiasm began to murmur once again.

People wanted to do it all of a sudden, but I soon understood why.

The crowd parted for a moment, and then a man stepped out from the middle with a necklace of flowers.

So far, you can think of it as an ordinary welcoming crowd.

However, the man's identity could hardly be called "ordinary."

"I would like to sincerely congratulate you on your return, Si Woo Kim Awakener. You are the hero of the Republic of Korea!"

"Still, this is an airport with a lot of foot traffic, and there may be safety hazards...... Is it okay for a president to appear so suddenly?"

"Haha! What are you worried about? The irregular, recognized even by the United States, is right in front of me. I can't think of a safer place in South Korea."

The head of state of the Republic of Korea, President Seo Shin-woo, personally greeted me.

He put a flower necklace around my neck. He held out his hand to me and continued cheerfully.

"As soon as the summit is over, I will officially invite you to the Blue House. Oh, you're a guy with Prime Minister Sasaki, would you like to join us at the summit?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to hear that the president has sold out the country to religion, that the Limen sect is the real thing?"

"That means I believe in Kim Si Woo Awakener. Come on, that's the camera. Shall we look over there and laugh together?"

It was a president who possessed the skillful showmanship of a politician.

I shook hands with President Suh and smiled once more, and the camera spotlight began to rain down on us.

Flashing lights.

In it, President Suh spoke to me in a relaxed voice.

"Thank you for doing me a favor. Thanks to this, the Republic of Korea has been able to create a new board."

"I was just there to save people. It's just a shame I didn't get there sooner."

"The wave created by Kim Si Woo Awakener will change many things in the future. We will do our best to make sure you are not disappointed."

He looks like he's made up his mind.

I looked at President Xu's face and nodded slightly. All my work as an irregular is done.

From here on, it's just a problem they have to solve.

"So now you're going home to your family?"

At President Suh's question, I sighed softly.

"I'd love to, but I have a lot of work to do as pope."

"Oh no. Leaders are always busy."

"I sympathize."

Let's go back to the temple.

There were still a lot of problems to be solved.

5.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

It had been three days out, but when we returned, the atmosphere in our shrine was incomparably different from three days ago.

First, a group of people who appeared to be well over 100 people greeted us at the entrance of Ground Zero.

The people Luna had brought to the airport were just the tip of the iceberg.

I smiled wry as I looked at the newcomers who greeted me at a 90-degree angle. He waved his hand and looked at Luna.

"What the hell ....... the kids?"

"Love and mercy. I just taught them what Limen told me. Oh, and let me give you a brief report on the newcomers, Your Holiness."

"Let's listen as we go. Tell me."

Luna smiled softly as she continued.

"First of all, the total number of trainees here is 142. The oldest is 36 years old, the youngest is 15 years old, and the average age is 26.6 years. I've taken a peek at the other side, and it's clear that ours has an overwhelmingly lower average age. The only thing that can be compared to us is a hundred bridges at most?"

"That's the way it should be. It's South Korea."

Most of the established religions have awakened to their devotion to that religion. And due to the characteristics of South Korea, the proportion of atheists among young people is overwhelmingly prominent.

It wasn't complicated.

Players who have awakened with only their potential will move to new religions, while those who have awakened with upright faith will go to established religions.

142, by the way.

"What about the Hundred Ming School kids?"

"Surprisingly 190 people. There are 48 more people than us."

"I'm not particularly surprised."

It looked like they had done a lot of preparation. While everyone was young, he quickly recruited talent, and ensured a clear path to success through his association with the Whole Angle.

It would have been satisfying enough to have attracted this much manpower against such guys.

I think I've done enough of this.

In addition, thanks to our increased awareness in Japan, we will be able to supply a large amount of manpower not only from Korea but also from Japan, so as time goes by, the weight will tilt heavily in our favor.

"I think it would be much more effective if I worked on the whole horn as well...... Okay, how did you go?"

"Professors from the National Academy of Awakens have been teaching us about the duties and rights of awakened people for two days, and we have been teaching them the core doctrines through the Bible that Leo has translated."

"What do you think everyone is like?"

"We don't know yet. As His Holiness said, most of them were atheists, right?"

It's hard for an atheist to accept God overnight.

It is a problem that time will solve step by step. I don't know if it would be easy if Limen showed up and performed a miracle, but I don't think Limen would manifest for that reason.

Just as I was thinking about this and that, a system message appeared in front of me for the first time in a long time.

[DLC – A new category of Pope > unlocked.] [As of this time, you can use the Education > category, which you can use to coordinate how your denomination's players will progress.] [Currently, the training emphasis you can choose from is Doctrinal Emphasis > Combat Emphasis >.] [Doctrinal Focus>: Grants additional experience when studying the Doctrine. Buildings: The functionality of the monastery > is greatly enhanced, and the effectiveness of the consecrated > is increased.] [Combat Focus>: Increases the amount of additional experience gained from combat. Buildings: The functionality of the Holy Knights' HQ> has been greatly enhanced, and it is possible to gain Holy Power through combat.]

A category with a hint of a strategy game.

Each one seemed to have a pros and cons, but at this point I felt that there was actually only one answer.

I didn't think about it for long.

"Combat emphasis."

[Training Focus will be selected as > Combat Focus, which can be changed by paying a certain number of Holy Points.]

If Eden had wiped out the Demon King and restored peace, it would have been better to focus on the doctrine >. Compared to Earth, there are relatively few battles going on.

But the earth is very hot.

It means that it would not be strange if they were sent into battle tomorrow. So there was no room for concern.

After indoctrinating them on the Bible and core doctrines that would be the backbone of their devotion, how to temper them through battle.

The more they cross the line and the more deaths they face, the more their faith will be tested, and at the same time they will be strengthened by the test.

Merely.

"Isn't this just a bunch of paladins in the church?"

Most of the clerics who grow through it are paladins.

A balance between priest and paladin was ideal, but it was a little worrisome.

But I couldn't help but relax my face at Leo's words that followed.

"Your Holiness. There's nothing to worry about. Priests can also mature through penances, such as battle. Neither did I, did I?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hehe, you only read the Bible. Isn't that right, Your Holiness?"

Correct.

Even in Eden, there was a rivalry between the archbishops and the captains of the Holy Knights, right?

I had forgotten that Leo and Luna were both from the same prophet.

Luna's words made Leo shake his head in response.

"It's better than a shield who can't even memorize the Bible."

"My brother. Would you like to get some seniority training from that shielder?"

"Your Holiness must remember that he is a priest, Lord Leventon."

"At the same time, you hold the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Holy Knights, who commands all the Holy Knights. Isn't that right, Your Holiness?"

They both look at me at the same time.

It's like asking for you to side with him.

With that, I quickly changed the subject.

"Hasn't anything happened to the temple in my absence? An oracle."

"I didn't."

"Really?"

The contact from Limen is a little delayed. It feels like there's something going on in the other world, but it's frustrating to not be able to find out the details.

By now, it should have been time to get in touch.

"Oh, that's right."

Instead, Luna gave me another piece of news.

"I heard that the head of the Goblin Guild, Choi Seo-jin, is coming today, and he should be there by now."

“…… Now that Aiden is gone, is it Representative Choi this time? The law of forage preservation, what?"

"Oh, you happen to be there."

At Luna's words, I turned my head to look ahead. There he was, walking toward me with a smile on his face.

Representative Choi walks in without a single subordinate with him.

His Hawaiian shirt, which doesn't care about the winter season, emphasizes his manliness...... Creeping antlers.

It's really a trick.

"Certified Irregulars around the world! Isn't that our Pope Kim? I almost fell asleep waiting."

"I, Mr. Choi."

"Yes!"

"Avoid American barbarians as much as possible."

"Barbarian? He was someone I wanted to see at least once."

"I think one of them is going to die."

Isn't there a saying that if you meet the same people, one of them will die?

In these cases, the weaker one usually dies.

Even if Choi is an awakener in South Korea, he can't beat a barbarian.

At my half-hearted joke, Mr. Choi scratched his head, and said in a voice that didn't care.

"Would you like to take a walk? I want to tell you something."

"You can do it over the phone."

"It's an ironclad rule that business has to be face-to-face."

What kind of business did you come to me for as soon as I returned home?

I nodded in response.

"There's a trail that I want to show you about. Let's go together."

Seeing that he felt good, it seemed that Mr. Choi had caught a good deal.

I'm already looking forward to it.

Please stop our Pope
