Chapter 029

Why… why ‘Religious Orders’ instead of ‘Religious Order’?

Why… why ‘Religious Orders’ instead of ‘Religious Order’?

Why… why ‘Religious Orders’ instead of ‘Religious Order’?

The Skeleton Principal felt something strange and asked.

Of course, it could be that he wanted to hear about the pros and cons of various Religious Orders and choose one among them.

But…

Strangely, what that boy from the Wardanaz Family had just said, though it probably wasn’t the case, sounded like this:

‘I want to join several Religious Orders, so please pick the best ones for me.’

The Skeleton Principal thought he must have misheard.

“Uh… it’s not wrong to believe in multiple gods, is it?”

‘This crazy bastard!’

The Skeleton Principal was impressed by a new student for the first time in a while.

Of course, there were people in the Empire who truly believed in multiple gods. Like believing in both the god of love and the god of wisdom.

But right now, that boy from the Wardanaz Family absolutely wasn’t trying to believe in gods.

Wasn’t his intention to squeeze out whatever he could from multiple Religious Orders showing too brazenly!

It was so brazen that it was rather likable.

Of course, the various Religious Orders wouldn’t think so…

You’re right. And you asked very well. There’s nothing wrong with believing in multiple gods. But sometimes there are Religious Orders that act petty about such things.

You’re right. And you asked very well. There’s nothing wrong with believing in multiple gods. But sometimes there are Religious Orders that act petty about such things.

“That’s right.”

Lee Han quickly agreed.

As the Principal thought, Lee Han’s purpose was simple and clear.

‘Let’s join every Religious Order I can join.’

Come to think of it, if he could receive various items just by going and joining, there was no reason not to do it.

It would be beneficial to join all Religious Orders except those that didn’t allow multiple memberships.

First, I recommend the Prising Order. It’s a god who sacrifices himself to support the world. The people in the Religious Order are also kind, so they’ll welcome you.

For now, I recommend the Prisinga Order. It’s a god who sacrifices itself to support the world. The people in the order are also kind, so they’ll welcome you.

“Freesinga… Order.”

Lee Han took notes.

Next would be the Kalaso sect. It’s a mischievous god who loves chaos and change. They wouldn’t care whether you believe in other gods or not and would treat you well.

Lastly, I also recommend the Kaporeo Order. It’s the god of swordsmanship and swordsmen, so they’ll welcome an odd fellow like you.

Lastly, I’d also recommend the Caporeo Order. They’re the god of swordsmanship and swordsmen, so they’d welcome an oddball like you.

“The Caporeo Order…”

Lee Han, who had been taking notes, paused.

Did you also know that Ihan was taking swordsmanship lessons?

‘No. This is kind of scary.’

It was a trivial matter, but I thought they might be showing too much interest in it.

I’ve never been happy about getting a lot of attention from professors, especially crazy ones…

Learning swordsmanship is good, but don’t forget magic. After all, magic is the only truly great discipline.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Lee Han bowed his head very politely at the Skeleton Principal’s words.

Of course, inwardly he was letting it go in one ear and out the other.

For Lee Han, magic was a means of advancement, not a goal.

Mm. Yes. Yes.

Mm. Yes. Yes.

Mm. Yes. Yes.

The Skeleton Principal nodded his head satisfactorily at that answer.

Mm. Yeah. Yeah.

Mm. Yeah. Yeah.

The skeleton principal nodded his head with satisfaction at that answer.

At first, I was bewildered when someone from the Wardanas family talked about joining the religious order, but seeing this now, I found myself unexpectedly looking forward to it.

‘He’s truly no ordinary man.’

The enormous amount of magical power and the ability to sense magic were merely secondary matters.

The patience to do anything to get what you want.

It was very intriguing that a new student from such a prestigious family as the Wodanaz clan would display that kind of patience.

‘The future looks promising.’

Then I should go check on the guys I locked up in the punishment room for a bit. Do well, Wodanaz.

Lee Han realized something was strange.

Where did he lock up whom?

But the Skeleton Principal was already flying far away.

* * *

Lee Han was curious about which White Tiger Tower Students were locked up in the Punishment Room, but he decided to visit the Religious Orders first.

“Where are you going?”

Yoner, who had returned with a basket in his hand, asked curiously.

“Prising Order…”

“Ah. Prising Order. You were usually interested…”

“…and Kalaso Order.”

“??”

“And Kaporeo Order, I suppose? Hmm. I might not be able to visit them all today. It would be a bit much if I’m too obvious, so maybe I’ll change and visit one each week.”

“…”

Yoner decided to just accept it rather than ask what was going on.

Ah. Lee Han just wants to try believing in about three gods!

“Here. Take this.”

Yoner took out a sandwich from the basket and offered it.

It was a sandwich with white bread filled with ham, tomato, lettuce, chopped boiled eggs, and other substantial ingredients.

It was food that starving new students would kill each other to steal if one was thrown to them.

“Thanks. Hmm. How much is it?”

“…I’m just giving it to you…”

“What? Really? Why? What’s your purpose?”

“I shouldn’t be the one saying this, but… you know you’re really strange, right? It’s because I’m grateful for your hard work yesterday. Here. Eat quickly.”

At Yoner’s words, Lee Han nodded and accepted it. He was hungry anyway.

While he was diligently chewing the sandwich, Yoner poured cold apple juice and handed it to Lee Han.

Gulp-

Lee Han nodded and accepted Yoner’s words. He had been hungry anyway.

While chewing his sandwich earnestly, Yoner poured cold apple juice and handed it to Ihan.

Gulp-

“But where did this come from?”

“Shouldn’t you usually ask that first? I got it from the Flemming Order. Our family has been close with the Flemming Order for a long time.”

Flemming, the god of alchemy.

All the priests of this order were outstanding alchemists.

The Maykin family, Yoner’s family, had been providing generous support to the Flemming Order for a long time.

Thanks to this, the priests of the Flemming Order recognized Yoner and packed various foods into a basket for him.

‘No way. What has the Wardanaz family been doing, not even supporting other orders?’

Lee Han admired the Maykin family’s foresight.

By providing support like this, they received rewards in return.

“…Is it still a bit awkward?”

“What is?”

When Yoner hesitated, Lee Han was puzzled.

Was he talking about the combination of sandwiches and apple juice?

“Well, supporting the Flemming Order. I do believe in Flemming too…”

Just like Gainando got hit after babbling ‘Is alchemy magic?’, there were quite a few arrogant mages who looked down on alchemists.

When someone said they supported or believed in the Flemming Order, occasionally someone would babble ‘How undignified for a great family of the Empire to support such an order.’

Of course, Lee Han didn’t care at all.

“Why wouldn’t you be able to support them?”

“…Right?”

Yoner’s face brightened. Yoner smiled cheerfully and poured more apple juice.

“Drink more.”

“Huh? There’s still some left…”

Yoner thought.

He had thought it might be difficult to adapt in the Blue Dragon Tower due to his peculiar personality, but with this boy in front of him, it probably wouldn’t be as difficult as he had thought.

* * *

“Excuse me. I came because I wanted to hear about Prisinga.”

“!”

When Lee Han approached, the priests looked up and brightened.

“Welcome! Brother! You came because you wanted to hear about Prisinga. Welcome!”

“Yes. I’ve been hearing various stories about Prisinga for a while, and I’ve been respecting him, wondering if there could be such a wonderful person.”

Lee Han spoke while hiding his true feelings.

Being able to bow one’s head with a respectful expression on the outside, even while complaining tremendously inside, was what made a graduate student.

Lee Han had unparalleled expression-maintaining abilities in this regard.

Naturally, the priests were completely charmed by Lee Han’s attitude.

To think that a boy who clearly looked like a noble young master from a great family would visit like this.

“Come! Please come in! Tijiling. Will you help?”

“I’m… I’m coming now.”

“!”

Lee Han was surprised. The appearance of the student called by the priests was quite unfamiliar.

Dark red-tinged skin and two horns protruding from her forehead. In her timid, averted eyes, flames seemed to flicker and disappear.

‘A demon hybrid!’

It was the rarest race among mixed-blood races. Lee Han had only heard about them but was seeing one for the first time.

If there was someone among ancestors or forebears who made a contract with a demon, occasionally among their descendants, skipping generations, such an affected being would appear.

Naturally, most people found such races repulsive. Perhaps because of this, every movement of the demon hybrid girl seemed timid and cautious.

“That’s Tijiling, also a new student. She belongs to the 【Tower of the Eternally Burning Phoenix】.”

The priests spoke as if proud.

Although Phoenix Tower students rarely had any interaction with students from other towers, when these order priests came, she personally came out to help.

“It’s truly moving. To think there’s a friend here who believes in Prisinga too. As expected of Prisinga.”

“Brother!”

Even at Lee Han’s casual praise, the priests seemed very pleased.

‘But…’

Lee Han looked around as he entered the tent.

When joining an order, there were two most important points.

What could you gain by joining the order.

And what would you have to do after joining the order.

If you joined a strange order and had to whip yourself every time you attended meetings, wouldn’t that be even more inconvenient?

‘It’s modest, probably because it’s an order tent.’

The inside of the tent was sparse. There were several long chairs, and on the altar in front, a symbol that seemed to represent Prisinga was placed.

It could be called ordinary if it was ordinary, but there was one thing that felt off to Lee Han.

‘Aren’t there too many artifacts here?’

There were strangely many items that emanated mana inside the tent.

Magical items and artifacts were quite expensive and rare objects, even the trivial ones.

But such artifacts were swarming inside the tent.

The priests didn’t seem particularly luxurious either…

‘Didn’t they say Prisinga was a god who sacrificed himself to support the world? Is he a god related to artifact creation?’

Step, step, step.

One short, thin priest approached Lee Han to give him an explanation.

“…?”

Surprisingly, every time the priest stepped, very deep footprints were carved into the ground. Lee Han’s eyes widened greatly.

“Ah. Were you surprised? Brother?”

The priest seemed to realize Lee Han was surprised and spoke with a smile.

“There’s nothing to be surprised about. It’s because of the artifact I’m wearing. This is a cursed artifact. Brother. It has the effect of increasing the divine power you can use in exchange for multiplying your weight several times.”

“Ah. Did you accidentally put it on while dungeon exploring or adventuring?”

“That’s not it, I wore it to honor Prisinga.”

“??”

“Prisinga is someone who sacrificed himself to support the world. Shouldn’t we sacrifice ourselves as well? Brother. Every time we wear one of the world’s cursed artifacts, the world’s curses decrease.”

The Prisinga Order.

To honor the god cursed to eternally bear the world, the priests wore cursed artifacts themselves.

Their divine magic didn’t lift the curses contained in artifacts like other divine magic.

Instead, it had the extreme effect of strengthening both performance and curses.

Lee Han’s face began to pale as he gradually realized the truth.

Lee Han regretted it.

‘I must have lost my mind. To listen to the Principal.’

He had momentarily believed it because of the warm conversational atmosphere with the Principal, but the madness emanating from the order was extraordinary.

An order that deliberately wore cursed artifacts in daily life.

“…It seems Brother doesn’t like it either.”

The priest was no ordinary person.

Despite Lee Han managing his expression, he keenly noticed that Lee Han found it repulsive.

“No. I was so happy that…”

“No. Brother. The path of devotion for Prisinga is actually a difficult and arduous path. If you’ve changed your mind even now, it’s fine if you don’t walk it. I understand.”

The priest spoke with a lonely smile.

Lee Han felt sorry but checked the location of the exit with a sidelong glance. The other party could turn hostile and grab him at any time.

“I was going to give this cursed belt as a welcome gift when a new brother came… but after hearing detailed explanations, everyone leaves. Well, it’s natural. A belt with a curse that absorbs mana. Which brother would like that?”

“…Wait. What are the effects of that?”
