Chapter 197: The End of Winter. (1)

The Altar, which retreated from the barrier without achieving anything, were surprisingly calm. Arlos, still staying in the Altar’s sanctuary, found it interesting. No, the ecological system of this sanctuary itself was strange.

“This sanctuary is divided into several facilities?”

While walking through a dark hallway, Arlos asked the soldier-ranked priest who she had become close with recently.

“Accommodation, schools, restaurants, training center for nurturing priests. We have lived here for decades.”

“In this darkness?”

“Yeah, but we won’t need it soon. If God incarnates, He will punish all of those who killed him and live with us in a new and clean world.”

They held a lot of very strange beliefs completely different from the history on the continent.

“God, killer.”

“That’s right. In the distant past, the people of this continent murdered God and made their own country. It’s an unacceptable sin.”

The people of the continent, to be exact, their ancestors, killed God. Therefore, all of their descendants were also God’s killers. On the other hand, the Altar was a disciple of justice following a god who had already died. Their main mission was the resurrection of God, and he would bring down punishment upon the continent…

That was what they claimed.

“What would you do now?”

They planned to break the barrier with their vanguard and annihilate Reccordak by blocking their escape route. However, because Deculein showed power worthy of his confidence, a hilarious situation took place in which the vanguard retreated ten minutes after starting.

“…”

The priest did not answer. He was more tight-lipped than the lower-ranks.

Draaaaag—

He opened a door in the hallway.

“This is the room that you’ll be using. Come in.”

Arlos looked around the inside. From the finest mana stones to the chisel knives, the threads and needles, the awls and saw, and more, there were all sorts of things that could be used in making dolls.

“It seems to have everything.”

“Of course. But, before that.”

The priest gathered dark energy in his palm. Then, he searched Arlos from head to toe.

“…You don’t need to use other mana stones or equipment. Go on in.”

Arlos nodded and went inside. Then, she took out the tiny device that was left in her pocket.

“Will you be working for the month?”

“I think I can make some pretty good dolls.”
