Chapter XXVIII
"Joseph......
Kakarit looked at Joseph with a complicated expression, and stopped talking.
The two of them had been good friends since they had served the gods of darkness, and they knew each other to a considerable extent.
Joseph was already dying, and Kakarit was only the father of a seven-year-old childβand their friendship was limited by age.
Now, Joseph has been rejuvenated by the miracle of his mentor, like a boy of seventeen or eighteen, and Kakarit is still a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, and there is still a considerable age gap between the two of them.
This wonderful sense of confusion gives one a feeling of being speechless. Kakarit shook her head vigorously, and her gaze at Joseph became flat again.
"Joseph, what about His Majesty Roland?"
"It's just these days. His Royal Highness Roland is coming over soon. β
Joseph raised an eyebrow and replied in a flat tone.
He realized what Kacarit called Roland, and secretly remembered it in his heart, but he didn't ask.
Hearing Joseph's reply, Kakarit paused and frowned slightly.
He was equally aware of the problem with what Roland was called.
But unlike Joseph's caution, Kakarit asked directly without scruples: "What did you just call His Majesty Roland?" β
"I say, Your Highnessβthat's the title Your Highness Roland has given us to use."
Joseph replied with a flat expression: "Of course, he also said that it is okay for us to call him by his first name, because we are both brothers under the glorious blessing of the Teacher, and we are equal in status." β
"Your Majesty's mercy and humility are not grounds for your rudeness. Joseph," a hint of displeasure flashed across Kakarit's face. "You don't forget who you are."
"I haven't forgotten...... Therefore I still have to call him Your Highness, for Roland is the one who redeems us in the name of the Teacher. He is like a mentor's child, a brother to all of us...... You must know that my devotion to my mentor is in no way inferior to yours, Kakarit. β
Joseph sighed lightly, buried his head deeply, and stopped looking at Kakarit.
He stared at the ground and muttered in a very light voice, "I have been redeemed by my mentor three times in my life. In the third time, the mentor healed my feelings and allowed me to come back from that endless cold world. I swore that I would follow her forever. β
"I confess that His Highness Roland is a great man. He will be the greatest pope I have ever met - and the most valuable thing is that he will never rest on his laurels, he ...... It's been growing. He was proud of his enemies, but he always had a humble heart for the world. I believe that he will become the brightest pearl under the Guru's seat. β
Joseph did not hesitate to praise Roland, but Kakarit's face became gloomy little by little.
"You mean. Joseph ......"
An unspeakable anger suddenly rose on Kakarit's face: "Are you serving only the Mentor, not His Majesty Roland?" If the position of the Pope were to change now, would you serve him as you would serve His Majesty Roland? β
ββ¦β¦ I'd like to ask you what you mean, Kakarit. β
Joseph looked up suddenly. His silver-gray mirror-like gaze stared at Kakarit coldly, "Are you saying that Roland is bigger than the mentor?" β
"His Majesty Roland is the embodiment of the Mentor!"
Kakarit looked at Joseph condescendingly, and his voice was high and clear: "Isn't it? It was the Mentor who rescued us from the hands of the false gods, but at the same time His Majesty Roland. β
Kakarit's clear, long, melodious voice resounded in the cemetery at dusk: "I can think of it this wayβHis Majesty Roland is an extension of the Mentor. It is the substitute of the mentor. He's more than just a button that can be swapped out at will...... It is in the name of His Majesty Roland that the Mentor wants to save us. It will be implemented by His Majesty Roland himself. β
So, I think. His Majesty Roland should have the same type of sanctity as the Mentor. He shall establish his kingdom...... There are only countries where the teachings of the Gurus are glorious. β
But Kakarit's words instantly angered Joseph -
"Kakarit, watch your identity!"
Joseph stared at Joseph tightly with his silver-gray pupils, and said word by word in a low voice: "You are a disciple of the Mentor, not a disciple of Roland!" β
Kakarit just wanted to refute, but he finally seemed to think of something, and forced his words back.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time before Kakarit spoke again: "I came here this time, the purpose is very simple. It is to help His Majesty Roland establish the Holy See. β
"The believers who follow me are very eager to learn about our teachings and have their own church. I have come to confirm this matter to His Majesty Roland. At least bring the canon back first. β
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Holy See, Roland has his own thoughts...... However, what about codifying the canon......"
Joseph, who calmed down, also deliberately did not mention the previous unpleasantness, but seriously considered: "Let His Highness Roland ask the mentor's idea first." I had heard His Highness Roland say that he was going to wait until the church was brought down before considering these things...... But looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be worried about this. β
"Yes."
Kakarit nodded: "When I prayed earlier, the Guru mentioned the book "Teachings" to me...... She said that the book was compiled by her followers a thousand years ago, and that if they wanted it, they could ask him for it. β
"What about His Majesty Roland?"
"He went to Fararu to set it up. Elukado went with him. β
"That's ......"
At this point, Kakarit suddenly remembered something and casually mentioned to Joseph, "By the way, Joseph. I have developed a few more believers on my way here, and I have called them to come to you...... It will be there in about a week. β
When Joseph heard this, he frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid it won't be long before this place will fall into chaos and pestilence...... Would you like to call them over at this time? I can't take care of them, and I can't teach them any magic. β
"No problem. They are all druids, they have already received the inspiration of the Mentor, they can all use prayer, but they can't find the organization," said Kakarit, who couldn't help but smile warmly, "One of them is a female druid, and she has even advanced to the death crow. β
"Oh?"
Joseph's eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but praise: "Well done...... I'm afraid she can help a lot. By the way, what's her name? β
"Farina."
Kakarit repeated with a smile, "Farina...... She has abandoned her previous surname. But she's now a silver-tiered crow. β
"That's pretty good."
Joseph nodded. I can't help but look forward to the unmasked believers a little more. (To be continued.) )
