Somebody Stop the Pope – 151



Episode 151

3.

After the first battle with the Noldeul.

I nodded with satisfaction.

“It was better than I expected.”

There were no major casualties except for three minor injuries. The 100 Nols were completely subdued.

Just one thing that wasn’t good was the appearance.

Perhaps because they were smashing enemies with hammers at close range and breaking their necks with their hands the first batch of trainees gave off a pungent smell of blood.

But that didn’t last long.

“Let everyone cleanse their bodies with the blessing of purity.”

“yes!”

As soon as Luna gave the order the first batch of trainees quickly used the Blessing of Purity to erase the traces of battle from their bodies.

That’s the end of the first battle.

A mere 100 of them couldn’t stop our first batch of trainees.

“The compatibility is good.”

The results of the battle were much better than I expected.

There were no serious injuries and the mental strength of those with minor injuries during the battle was also excellent.

After immediate emergency treatment they rejoin the fight.

Those images were the battle philosophy that our church pursued.

“It seems like the Purifiers are up to some tricks… What do you think Luna?”

“It was definitely a bit of a blast. It’s good news for our trainees but it seems like it’s not good news for other guilds or the government.”

“yes.”

Monsters that possess a much higher concentration of magic energy than those that appear in South Korea.

The reason why the Noljis were swept away by us just now was simple.

The guys were much more reliant on magic than we expected.

For our sect which uses divine power as a weapon this was good news but for others it was extremely bad news.

Magi greatly enhances the power of monsters.

Nol was also a monster that used magic as its source but it was not this strong.

Clearly someone had been tampering with it and it was most likely that someone was the Purifier.

That was also the reason why we set the colony of Noldu as our first target for attack.

According to information passed on by Baekmyeonggyo there is a secret facility of purifiers hidden in the center of the Nol’s colony.

Right at the magic stone mine.

Perhaps the magic energy flowing from that magic stone may have strengthened these guys.

“We’ve lost contact with the scouts so the Noljis will find out soon. We’d better hurry.”

“The kids are still going strong. Are you going to break straight into the center?”

“That’s right. What good will come from dragging it out? If you want to make it easy you have to finish it in one go. Oh and Director Kim. Tell the other side to be careful… Director Kim?”

“Yes yes? Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking about something else for a moment…”

Something looks really crazy.

Director Kim had that expression on his face ever since he saw our new recruits fight a while ago.

Are you shocked?

I thought you’d become quite tolerant of this kind of thing if you hung out with me.

Director Kim bowed his head politely toward me.

“I’m sorry. I got distracted by useless thoughts.”

“Is that a useless thought?”

“I briefly imagined what it would be like for the first batch of trainees of the Limen Church to grow up. I couldn’t help but get goosebumps thinking about it… I’ll make sure to relay this to my superiors right away.”

“The less damage the better. Please pass this on to other guilds as well.”

“yes.”

Director Kim nodded and took out a communication device from his pocket.

A communication magic device specially designed for use in the Lost Lands.

It was a communication device that used the highest grade magic stone and it was equipment provided by the United States.

Equipment that contains extremely delicate technology.

Although nothing was known about the equipment other than that its maker was an American Irregular its performance was certain.

-It’s a gift. I wish Korea success.

In the Lost Land communication using smartphones was impossible so these rock-like devices were a very effective means of communication.

Looking at things like that you could guess that the US has a lot of useful technologies.

The problem is that most of those ‘useful skills’ came from some irregulars….

We should talk about it after work.

I heard they’re interested in me too.

“Hmm.”

But there’s one thing that’s been bothering me for a while now.

I looked back frowning.

There was nothing in sight but I could clearly feel someone’s gaze.

“Your Majesty can you feel it too?”

“I wasn’t that nervous. Since when?”

“It must have been when our kids started destroying the toys earlier. There was no hostility and it wasn’t something that bothered me so I put it aside for a while… Are you really bothered by it?”

“Well.”

As Luna said there was no hostility in that gaze.

Rather it feels like they are watching us carefully.

I couldn’t feel any magic and I was feeling a faint magical power that was almost natural.

“What should we do? It seems like you have some business with us.”

“Bring her here quietly. Let me hear her story.”

Luna nodded quickly at my words. And in an instant she moved her body.

After a while.

“Let go of this!”

“Hey stay still. You were secretly watching us. That’s stalking. Stalking is a crime. Do you understand?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Luna caught a creature as small as the palm of her hand.

A creature completely out of place in this dark and gloomy lost land.

Light green hair.

A cute body the size of a palm

It even has four translucent wings.

The identity of that very cute creature flapping its wings to escape from Luna’s hands is

“…Fairy?”

A race that loves nature.

It was a fairy.

And at that moment

[Sub-quest <Rescue the Fairy> begins.]

[Fairy Rescue]

A quest window appeared before my eyes.

I looked back and forth between the quest window and the fairy with a trembling expression.

4.

“So you’re saying that your people came here two weeks ago and were immediately captured by the Nols?”

“Yes yes! That’s it. Oh. Thank you so much. Thank you! Woof woof.”

“Eat slowly.”

The green-haired fairy who introduced herself as ‘Leah’ was eating the rice balls we had prepared for her lunch.

Actually even though I said I was eating rice balls I just took a few pieces of rice ball and gave them to him.

Rice balls that were seasoned salty and well-seasoned.

In particular my rice ball was made by Siyeon herself and Fairy ate it very deliciously.

“This is really delicious. Whoever made this must be the greatest chef alive!”

Praise makes even a whale dance.

I would have felt better if you had complimented me but I felt even better if you complimented Siyeon’s food.

I feel better when Siyeon is praised than when I praise myself.

“Eat as much as you want.”

She was a fairy who knew how to live in society.

At my words the fairy nodded flapping her wings.

“Thank you! I thought you were good people because you took care of those bad dogs!”

“And yet you keep stealing glances at me…”

“I’m a little shy!”

“…You’re a bit shameless. Okay.”

It’s embarrassing to say that we’re already eating together just 10 minutes after meeting each other.

This guy has incredible insight.

The operation was temporarily halted due to the sudden appearance of a fairy.

I checked the quest window once more and then asked the fairy in a suggestive tone.

“Do you know that this is another world?”

“I know. I was taking a nap with my friends when we were suddenly sucked into a strange hole. When I came to I was in this place.”

It felt a bit different from the fairies of Eden but it didn’t seem like much of a difference considering they liked taking naps.

If it weren’t for the blessing of language we would have been able to communicate.

“Can you just tell me how you got caught?”

“Well we were all so flustered when we suddenly came to this world. So we all huddled together in a tree and took a nap. We usually overcome hardships by taking a nap. Anyway while we were napping these dog-headed bastards suddenly….”

The racial trait of being talkative is the same as that of the fairies of Eden.

Leah said waving both hands.

“They brought a large net and caught all of their people at once.”

“How did you not get caught?”

“I hate sunlight so I stayed away.”

It’s simple.

That’s why life is really just a matter of seconds.

I glanced at Director Kim as I listened to Leah’s voice.

Director Kim looked quite embarrassed.

It seemed unimaginable that such a foreign race existed in the Lost Lands.

“There’s a race called fairies. Aren’t they cute?”

“…I thought all the alien races in the Lost Lands were hostile…”

“I understand because I thought the same thing.”

This is where things get a bit complicated.

A situation where it becomes ambiguous to consider everything in the Lost Land as an enemy.

We may also need to create a new manual for dealing with the emergence of friendly alien species.

But that is something that will happen later.

For now let’s focus on this fairy.

“How many of my kind are there?”

“There are 22 of us including me. We are all still alive. It’s faint but I can feel it.”

“Then the reason you were secretly watching us was…”

“I thought I might be able to save my friends… I’ve never seen any other races besides the Nol races before.”

A land where all traces of humanity have disappeared.

This guy was waiting for helpers who never came.

If we hadn’t come those fairies would have died without a trace.

But one question arises here.

Why did the Nols famous for their violent behavior keep the fairies alive?

The Nols who kill other races for fun would not have left the fairies alive for no reason.

Isn’t there some reason?

“I was secretly watching and they were trying to perform a strange ritual with my friends.”

“Can you guide me?”

As soon as I said that Leah flew around me and nodded happily.

“Yes! Yes! Of course. Oh I’m so glad… I’m so glad. I never thought I’d meet such wonderful people!”

It was just a fluttering of wings but I could feel that he was enjoying it with his whole body.

I watched Leah with a pleased expression. Then I started talking slyly.

“But if I rescue you guys do you have a place to go?”

“Well I don’t know. There isn’t much life force in this land right now…”

“Oh really?”

Fairies are beings that revive the spirit of life.

Because they are beings who possess extremely pure magical power they do not have much resistance to divine power.

Moreover their skills in growing trees and flowers are the best among all races.

Their mere presence made the plants grow beautifully.

There are a number of different races of people who are like dolls each with a cute and adorable appearance.

In short it means that they are a race of different races that only bring good things to you if you have them by your side.

Anyway a foreign race called dwarves has already been added to our church.

I guess it wouldn’t be a bad thing to add one more foreign race here.

I smiled as gently as I could and said to Leah.

“I know a place that’s really full of life. Do you want to go there with me? I think you guys will like it too.”

“Oh really?”

“Okay. How about we talk about it… No! Let’s save our friends first and then talk about it again.”

“Oh! Okay! Let’s go get him quickly! Let’s talk again after we get him!”

Okay I got caught.

You can’t miss this opportunity to hire versatile gardeners for free.

Haha.
