Raising Paladins

Episode 57. The role of the healing fuse (3)

“knife! How the hell did this happen?! Please explain!”

“I’m also curious about this old man. If you know anything, please tell me.”

Eric and Clemens said to Carl with desperate faces.

All five of them, including Carl, Tira, and Meisa, were gathered in Clemens’ office.

The birth of a priest who was allowed to use divine power for the first time in 200 years!

A very surprising blessing occurred, but it was hard to accept the sudden change because it had been so long since the priest who used the divine power had been disconnected.

So, first of all, only the priests were gathering and discussing how this had happened.

“Hiccup, hiccup… … .”

Tira is still hiccuping with a dazed face.

Meisa also looked around with a face saying something about this.

Then Maya said.

“But why are you two priests asking Carl? Does Carl have anything to do with this?”

“ah… … .”

Eric listened to Maysa’s question and looked at Carl.

Carl gave a light nod, and Eric said.

“Well, Miss Meisa is now a member of the Temple of Dawn, so you need to know. In fact, Carl is the messenger of God sent by the sun god to our Meirium Temple of Dawning. He came here with a heavy mission to raise the crumbling Temple of Dawn.”

“yes?!”

Maysa jumped up from her seat.

Meisa, who grew up under the rigorous education of an aristocratic family, did not easily reveal her feelings anywhere.

However, when so many amazing things happened one after another, she couldn’t easily control her mind.

‘In addition to the priest who was allowed divine power, the messenger of the sun god… … ?’

I had no idea what the hell this was all about.

Then Carl spoke calmly.

“It will be difficult to understand God’s providence in a short time. So take care of yourself first, Meisa.”

Of course, everything God said was a blatant lie by Carl.

But now, none of that mattered.

Anyway, it’s all good!

“… … .”

But how easy is it to control your mind in a situation like this?

Even though such an amazing incident occurred, it was only surprising that Carl did not twitch his eyebrows.

Then Carl said to everyone.

“The sun god once told me. Sooner or later, you will choose a new priest.”

“Oh, are you sure?”

“Yes, the Temple of Dawn has a lot of work to do in the future, so he said he would lend me his strength. Tira will not only treat the sick, but will also be put into sacred policing.”

“Eh?!”

This time, Tira jumped up.

“I-I’m in the sacred policing job? It’s like getting a cave troll… … ?”

“Yes, it’s fine now, but the battles will become more intense and larger in the future. A healing priest’s power is absolutely necessary in such a place.”

Of course, the sword can also heal wounded soldiers using divine power.

He can heal many people much faster than Tira.

But that can only be done when the combat situation allows for it.

As in the previous life, if the Lich King gathers all kinds of monsters to form a vicious army, and warlocks start to infest all over the empire, the sword’s holy power should only be used for battle.

That way, the damage to the citizens can be reduced even a little.

Healing the wounded comes after the battle is completely over.

“Look at this.”

Carl held out a roll of parchment he had prepared earlier.

It was a scroll with monster information written on it that Henry, the monster bounty officer at City Hall, handed over.

“Recently, reports are coming in that these monsters are on the move in various parts of the empire. This means that the ugly beings who did not receive the blessing of the sun god began to hide in the dark. The forces of the night and the moon.”

“The forces of the night and the moon!”

The empire before Carlos became the Paladin of Dawn.

Even then, Carlos made a name for himself as a battle priest and paladin.

Thanks to hunting warlocks and monsters all over the empire.

Although terrifying monsters and man-eating black magicians appeared, the empire at that time was relatively safe.

However, at some point, the number of warlocks, familiars, and monsters increased exponentially.

That was the signal that signaled the resurrection of the Lich King.

“If it is the forces of the night and the moon, it is unlikely that the Lich King who was punished by the Paladin of Dawn in the past… … ?”

“That’s right. It will be written in the history books.”

Hurry up!

Eric hurriedly ran over and brought the imperial history book.

Since he studied theology and history, he quickly found what he needed among thick books.

“Here it is! According to what is written here, monsters appear in the empire and become more ferocious when the ominous entity is resurrected. What Carl just said is right!”

“Please also read the paragraph below it.”

“yes.”

Eric continued reading.

“Also, in such a situation, more priests who can demonstrate the divine power of the sun god are needed, and it is written that the sun god chooses a person with the qualifications and grants his power. I think this is the miracle Tira received!”

“Ohhh!”

Clemens admired as he gripped the High Priest’s pendant with both hands.

Meisa had a hard-to-believe face just a little while ago, but now that the contents of the history book appeared, she seemed to accept it to some extent.

Of course, I was still confused about the messenger of the sun god or the first new construction in 200 years.

‘Meirium Temple of Dawn is… … .’

But one thing is for sure.

They said that choosing the Temple of Dawning in Meirium over the Temple of Tournoble was a very good thing.

If you were in Tournoble, you wouldn’t have seen these great miracles!

Being led by Carl’s wonderful swordsmanship and extensive knowledge led to this kind of luck.

Even thinking about it now, it was a fortunate choice.

and.

‘i envy you… … .’

In fact, using the unknown power of divine power was only possible in storybooks.

But today Tira actually showed the miracle.

Of course, with the help of a knife, but a miracle is a miracle.

Meisa also wanted to become a priest who could use divine power.

As if reading Meisa’s mind, Carl looked at her and said.

“If you train hard and serve the sun god, everyone will have a chance. Clemens, Eric, and Mesa. All the other seeds.”

Clemens and Eric were just as envious of Meisa.

Tira is the youngest member of the temple, and she hasn’t even taken the formal exam because she hasn’t turned 20 yet.

However, everyone was able to cheer for the miracle that happened to Tira.

It was because Tira’s sincerity was felt in her actions while caring for old man Muir.

“From now on, Tira will have to focus on healing divine power. For the time being, I will be tutoring Tira.”

“Does that mean that even a sword can handle divine power?”

Carl thought for a moment.

About telling them what abilities they have.

But it didn’t seem like the right time yet.

I think the miracle that happened to Tira would be enough for today’s surprise.

“The sun god only taught me how to lead. I, like you, must continue to work hard so that I can be qualified to use divine power.”

“Ahh… … .”

People nodded at Carl’s words.

“I think everyone understood what I was saying, so let’s end it here. Perhaps they are wondering what happened to the servants or the sick outside.”

“It will be. But what should I say to them… … .”

“I don’t think you need any special explanation. Because everyone saw Tyra’s miracle firsthand. Rather, I will be more passionate about serving God, so it is a good thing.”

“I guess so. Then Tira.”

Clemens and Eric rose from their seats with Tira.

It was to tell the sick and servants who were waiting.

The three of them left the office, leaving only Meisa and Carl inside.

“Here, Carl.”

“… … ?”

“You said Carl was a messenger of God.”

“… … .”

“Then, is the sword’s swordsmanship also the power bestowed by the sun god?”

“I guess you could say that.”

“ah… … .”

A look of disappointment crossed Meisa’s face.

Carl noticed that and said.

“If you think you can’t achieve it through your own efforts, you are not. It is true that the will of the sun god dwells in my swordsmanship, but the effort to reach that point was entirely mine.”

“… … !”

“So keep working hard. If you do, the sun god will look after you.”

“Maybe? Like the miracle that happened to Tira today?”

“of course.”

The disappointed look on Meisa’s face dulled a little.

Just then, a loud cry was heard from outside.

“knife! Meisa! You must come out!”

“… … ?”

A voice full of urgency.

Carl and Maysa got up in a nimble motion and ran out of the office.

Then, among the people gathered in the courtyard, I saw a person wearing silver armor.

“That person… … ?”

It was Maysa who recognized him first.

“I am Jamie, the guard of the Temple of Noon in Tournoble!”

Surprisingly, red and blue blood splattered all over his armor.

His face was also full of scars, as if he had been scratched by something.

Seeing him on his knees and gasping for breath, it seemed that something was very urgent.

“Miss Meisa!”

“Jamie!”

Carl and Maysa ran to him.

‘It’s a guard I’ve seen before.’

From nob le mt l dot com

Jaime, the entrance guard, seen when he went to take the priesthood exam at the Temple of Tournoble.

Carl asked, supporting him.

“Is there a problem? It looks like monster blood.”

“Huh, huh… … .”

From nob le mt l dot com

Just in time, Tira brought water from the backyard and handed it to him.

“gulp!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jamie hurriedly drank in the water, and only then did he catch his breath before answering.

“Greetings, I am the guard of the Temple of Noon in Tournoble… … .”

“I know who it is, so let’s talk about urgent matters first.”

“Gnolls and a bunch of goblins have appeared on the outskirts of Tournoble!”

“… … !”

Consternation spread across the faces of the people gathered around.

Carl had a calm face as usual.

“If you play, you mean a monster that walks on two legs like a human with the head of a wolf?”

“That’s right! Several large gnolls led the goblins and killed the wheat farmers on the outskirts. gulp!”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jamie took another drink.

“The battle priests of the Temple of Tournoble, the guards, and even the soldiers of the aristocrats joined forces to sortie, but… … .”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jamie looked at Meisa with a very sorry expression.

“Miss Meisa’s father, Baron Heldern, and many others were seriously injured… … .”

“Father! uh, how… … ?”

“Baron Heldern faced what seemed to be the leader of the gnolls and goblins. In the process, Knoll’s iron whip severely wounded her left arm.”

“ah… … .”

Tears welled up in Meisa’s eyes.

Tira came over and hugged Meisa, and Meisa also buried her face in Tira’s shoulder.

“You’ve come to request troops.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Jamie, who was drinking water at Carl’s words, nodded.

“That’s right! Departures were also sent to the temples in other neighboring cities, and I rode the best among the guards and came to the Temple of Dawning in Merium, where Miss Meisa is. I’m going to tell you the news quickly, and I’m going to ask for support from the two battle priests here.”

“okay.”

It was an incident that occurred while the monsters were thinking that the movement was unusual.

It was not unusual for gnolls and goblins to appear in groups and attack people near the city.

said Carl, looking around.

“Meisa, help Tira and keep things simple for the two of them. We will leave immediately.”

“Yes, Carl!”

Meisa nodded and walked away, leading Tira with a surprised face.

Originally, it would be safe to go with Meisa alone, but it was because Tira had awakened her divine healing power, so she could be of help to the injured soldiers in Tournoble.

Just then, someone appeared out of nowhere.

“Carl, take me with you too!”

It was Hanson in bandages.
