Chapter 85: I Didn't Do Anything At All
Chapter 85: I Didn't Do Anything At All
I had no idea whether God would hear my prayer or not, but we were lucky since nothing happened after that, and the ship arrived safely in the Holy Land.
The captain of the ship thanked me again when we descended to the harbour.
Naturally, I was still wearing a hood to hide my identity.
It was the spare that I brought in the anticipation that I might end up destroying my robes again.
Please be very careful since we're right in the centre of the Melt religion. Don't let anyone else discover your identity.
I nodded upon hearing the female Holy Knight's reminder.
The Holy Land, the headquarters of the Holy Melt religion, had powerful influence in almost every country, but the country itself was in fact a small one.
For that reason, it would only take a few days by foot to arrive in the capital of this country from this port city.
In addition, many believers from various countries were visiting this place for pilgrimage.
In fact, the majority of the passengers of the ship were believers who wanted to visit this country for pilgrimage.
I already told His Highness, the Pope, that I would be bringing you along with me. The preparations might've been made.
Preparations?
Preparations to purify you.
Oh!!
This was what I had been waiting for.
Could they do it, I wondered.
What, are you doubting our capabilities?
Well, my expectations kept being betrayed until now, after all
Our country is going all out to purify you. It's definitely going to work this time Well, maybe.
Several knights approached our direction when we were having such a conversation.
The man in the middle, a tall and brawny man, greeted us.
Long time no see, Limule.
Daruel-dono.
That man seemed to be the female Holy Knight's acquaintance.
He's the vice-leader of Albert's Holy Knight Order. He's been taking care of me since I was a child.
Hee
The uncle took a glance at me with dread in his eyes for some reason.
And this person is
The other knights stiffened too.
Youre mistaken. Im not scary, you kno~w, I am a harmless and friendly undea~d, I was smiling lightly, trying to tell them of that fact.
!!!
The knights, all of them, suddenly raised their weapons.
You b*stard. Have you forgotten what I've told you before about your creepy smile?
Ugh!
The female Holy Knight mercilessly shot down my attempt to befriend them.
She didn't need to be so strict My body might be immortal, but my mentality was the worst.
A-Are you not scared of him?
The uncle asked the female Holy Knight with a cramped smile on his face.
He wouldn't have come aboard the ship that easily if he was a dangerous undead like the rumors that spread outside claimed.
Uh now that you mention it, you're right.
As you can see, there's no need to put restrictions on him. Well, I believe that restriction is only a waste of time since he can break it with snap of his hand.
The uncle then ordered his subordinates.
But we can't let our guard down. He's a genuine great-disaster-class being, a being that even our leader failed to purify. We must escort him carefully.
HAH!
Naturally, I strictly prohibit excessive provocation.
Forget about excessive provocation, you guys. The Holy Knights had dealt tremendous mental damage to me already.
Could I laugh at that? I mean I really was a gentle and kind undead, you know?
And please pay attention to those two great-disaster-class dragons too.
That was something that I wanted them to be careful about too.
Well, I didnt think those two girls would cross the ocean to go after me after I shook them off back then.
===A Certain Middle-Aged Merchant===
Ah, this place is the Holy Land, huh
I unintentionally let out a voice of admiration as soon as I descended from the ship and felt the holy air in this country.
Holy Land Melt Ramit was the headquarters of the Melt religion.
I, James, boarded onto the ship, crossing the ocean for a reason. [TL: The merchant who peed his pants after firing his gun at Zion.]
It was to convert to the Melt religion.
The reason why I, who used to manage a firm in Dary City, chose this path was an encounter with that terrifying white-haired undeadthe No Life King.
Previously, I ran to the royal capital of Romana to escape from him, but he chased after me.
Fortunately Romana's Hero King drove him away, but ever since then, my life had been haunted by the No Life King.
I, who desperately prayed to God for my safety, had finally attained enlightenment.
As my faith got stronger, Iwho thought of a way to become even closer and know more about Godfinally made the decision to travel to the Holy Land.
I entrusted my company to my son and got the full support from my wife.
And yet, on the way here, the ship I was on encountered a great crisisnamely, a pirate ship.
I once again fell into an abyss of despair upon learning that the ship had already been hijacked by the pirates.
And then, the ship suddenly was taken back from the pirates for some unknown reason.
But I knew that it was God's miracle.
Even this only strengthened my faith.
I felt that I was blessed by God.
And just like that, I finally took my first step into the land of pilgrimage.
Tears spilled from my eyes the moment I took the first step into the Holy Land.
Uh? Are they the Holy Knights?
Suddenly, I noticed something else.
People who possessed extremely powerful holy power came over in the direction of the ship.
They were walking toward a suspicious man wearing a hood.
That person seemed to have been aboard the same ship as me, but
And just like that, the Holy Knights surrounded the hooded man and brought him along with them toward Melt Ram's royal capitalwhere I was about to head.
Uh maybe that hooded person is Melt religion's bigshot.
