151. for the future!

After contacting the Church and the Empire, Leone called the trump card.

“President. Did you call?”

It was none other than Power Ranger Black that Rion called.

His appearance did not compare to what it was just a few months ago.

‘I was a normal person just a while ago.’

Perhaps thanks to the golden mercenary’s seniority, he now felt like a veteran mercenary.

“I called because I have a favor to ask of you.”

“No matter what order you give me, I will definitely succeed!”

But the situation was a little strange.

‘Why is this? black. Isn’t it like this?’

[This is the influence of fanaticism.]

‘… … Other people didn’t notice much difference?’

Black wasn’t the only one affected by fanaticism. Others were also being influenced through the seeds planted after Leon gained fanaticism.

[They had already entered the stage of fanaticism.]

‘… … Since he was already a fanatic, there was no difference?’

[That’s right.]

There was nothing wrong with this situation itself.

If he became a fanatic and believed in Leon, he could just use it.

“I want you to go to the dungeon called Tomb of the Ancients.”

“Can I purify the dungeon?”

Leon shook his head and said.

“no. The dungeon itself shouldn’t be too difficult. There won’t be a big risk, and I know there’s nothing special about what you can get inside.”

“If purification and exploration are not the purpose… … Do you have another mission?”

To be honest, even Leon has no idea what’s going on there. I’m sending black because I don’t know.

Leon activated the skill.

[Skill: Training is activated.]

[Unique skill: Persuasion of the Parish is activated.]

“Yes. Right. I don’t know why, but there are evil forces that want it.”

Here, it is necessary to stimulate Black’s sense of crisis.

“If it gets into their hands, there will be great dangers that will affect the entire continent.”

After stimulating his alertness with the word danger.

“This risk is no small risk. An event like the end of the world will happen.”

Focused on the end of the world.

Black’s expression hardened.

Leon reached out and took his hand.

“I’m sorry for putting such a huge burden on you. This is something no one else can do except you.”

Leon immediately called Siri.

‘Hey Siri!’

[I will convey fanaticism with warm hands.]

Now it’s time to wrap up.

“I will leave this in your hands. Please take care of this world we live in.”

It is nonsensical to convey the sincerity just by holding hands and speaking.

However, in this way, the sincerity that is not there is conveyed.

“President. All you have to do is give an order. The life that the parish priest took. I am so grateful to be able to write for the world.”

With the trusty black horse.

[The persuasion target is convinced.]

[The persuasion target agrees.]

[The subject has been persuaded.]

A notification window that said he was persuaded appeared in front of Leon.

‘Are you taking the risk of not knowing? I refuse to do such stupid things.’

No matter what was done to the tomb of the ancients, there was no need to worry.

* * *

After sending Black, I thought I would have some free time, but I got a call from an unexpected place.

“Where?”

“This is a letter from the Lornau Merchant.”

“Isn’t it operated by the Church of the Sun at the Rownow Merchant?”

“Yes. It is a secret guild secretly operated by the Church of the Sun.”

The fact that a letter came from such a guild was not a letter from the guild.

“Did you send it from the Church of the Sun?”

“That’s right. It seems to be a secret message from the Holy See. Nothing is written inside.”

“There are places that still use this method.”

This is the Pope’s secret invitation to Leone.

“Please prepare with the highest level of security. I will go straight away.”

“Yes. I will move right away.”

With the help of the Blade of Dawn, Leon secretly moved to the Vatican.

When I arrived at the Vatican, there was someone waiting for me along with the agents of the Blade of Dawn.

“Could you show me the invitation?”

Leone quietly showed the push.

“You can come this way.”

The place he went with him was not inside the Vatican. It was the basement of a building near the Holy See.

“This is it.”

There was no need to question it here. In the first place, even Leon knew roughly what this place was like.

‘I heard there’s a secret passage in the pope’s office.’

It seemed that this was one of them. Leon quietly walked inside.

“Sorry for bothering you.”

Deep underground, I was able to meet the Pope with the highest position.

“no. The pope has requested a meeting, so it is only natural that I, as a priest, have come here.”

“I’m glad you think so. I invited you here because I want to ask you something.”

no.

I didn’t call you here because I wanted to ask you something. He was called here to avoid the eyes of darkness.

“I saw the letter you sent. They are thinking of making a wheat field in the desert.”

“That’s right.”

“Possibility?”

I had to figure out what the pope meant by the question.

‘The pope wants to keep the black side’s manipulations in check.’

However, the Church of Dawn was the only one who offered a new proposal.

‘What’s important to the pope right now is not loss or gain. They’re disrupting the darkness.’

If so, the story is simple.

“If you need to show results quickly, it is impossible with the power of the Church of Dawn and Killika.”

“If it doesn’t work out quickly, it will move on. It will happen regardless of the contract.”

It was as he said. It was the movement of the darkness. If there were no results on this side, the contract could be terminated.

“There are also ways to show results quickly.”

“Tell me.”

“It is to bring together the strength of all denominations.”

Hearing this, the Pope burst into laughter.

“Are you asking me for papal powers?”

“I think the Pope is interested in this because of the future.”

“The future… … That is also true.”

The future that Leon said was different from the future that the Pope said.

Although the pope was talking about the future that prevented the plan of the dark.

“The era of great trade has opened, and the continent is enjoying an unprecedented boom. Many things are in abundance, but there are things that are increasingly lacking.”

“Do you think one of them is food?”

“That’s right. Everywhere we are trying to create new arable land and increase food production, but even this will reach its limit over time.”

The future that Leon was talking about was something that would happen after a lot of time had passed.

“When food becomes scarce, and problems start to arise, small conflicts start to form, and wars will break out soon.”

“That is the future you see.”

“That’s right. Now is the time to prepare.”

What the Pope needed now was an excuse to take away the desert from the hands of the dark.

“Denominations move for the future. nice.”

“Yes. I don’t think it’s time to build a villa there and waste it on luxury.”

“That is also true. You shouldn’t use the desert like that.”

It was necessary to show the spirit of the youth here.

Old rulers tend to like young guys with ambition. It’s a good ‘pa’ to use.

“I have heard that the saint sometimes works miracles. If miracles really do exist, wouldn’t we be able to create miracles if all the denominations work together?”

“haha. right. It would be a miracle to create a wheat field in the desert.”

said the pope, nodding his head in satisfaction.

“If you say this, it won’t be out of the ordinary for me to step forward.”

The pope was not ordinary.

‘This old man is also quite good. The reason he moves is that he doesn’t want to show it.’

He seemed intent on stepping back and putting Leon on the line.

“Originally, I thought of being the High Priest of the Church of the Earth, but after hearing your words, my thoughts change.”

The Pope pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth again.

“Sun, earth, dawn. How is it that these three denominations are jointly proceeding?”

It was the sound of creating a structure that allows each other to keep each other in check, rather than putting the blame on one person.

“Looks good. I would like to involve other denominations instead, is that possible?”

“I’ll allow it, but you’ll have to seek the understanding of others.”

It didn’t matter. Natalia and Arthur were already in Leon’s clutches.

“It is natural. We can create the right future, and it is rather good if we add advice.”

“Then, get ready. The rest will be taken care of by me.”

“thank you. Pope.”

Leon went out quietly through the way he came.

“haha. Miller this friend. After all, you trained real priests. If I hadn’t made that choice then… … .”

The Pope, who was left alone, laughed dejectedly and burst out talking to himself. His face was full of regret and regret.

* * *

Due to the joint investment of the upper tiers and the additional bids of the denominations, the tight confrontation situation was tilted towards one shot.

“The emperor has descended. It is an order to lend the land to the Church!”

When the emperor’s order came down, the attitude of the nobles began to change in an instant.

“haha. If the land is to be lent anyway, isn’t the church better than the guild?”

“I thought so too. If it wasn’t for the upper house that brought up the first story in the first place, I wouldn’t have thought about it.”

“Since His Majesty the Emperor has arranged it neatly. Isn’t that what we should be doing?”

Although they were the ones who indirectly received the orders of the black magic, their ties were not deep enough to keep the request even while confronting the emperor.

This was the downside of point organization.

In front of a greater power, what they sow is ignored in one shot.

“Then, I will pass this on to the Holy See.”

That’s how the news went to the Vatican, and the Vatican announced one thing.

[The reason we rented this land was not for the profit or property of the church. borrowed for the future. The Sun, Earth, and Church of Dawn, which participated in the initial bid, will be jointly granted authority!]

People wondered what the future would be, but the plan that was soon revealed gave a great shock to the continent.

[Desert greening plan.]

“So, is this the story of a desert becoming a forest?”

“I heard that they will eventually make a wheat field?”

“In that vast desert!?”

“Isn’t it incomparable to the Southern Great Plains?”

“no. Rather than that, what are you going to do!?”

While the continent was shaking like that, Leon was also busy moving.

“The production of the Chamber and the Priests’ Accommodation has been completed.”

“What about water and food?”

“I have prepared all of that, too.”

A tent was set up in the desert to be used as a meeting room and accommodation, and meals and drinking water were prepared.

Of course, Leon was only the director.

“How about the gate?”

“The sages and wizards are installing. It will be over soon.”

“As soon as the gate opens, people will start coming. Please do not panic and proceed as planned.”

“Yes. All right.”

All preparations are complete.

Desert greening is just the beginning.
