I began to gather and read about Cardinal Alfredo in the Library of Divinum Castle.

It was to investigate the monks of Alfredo, but it did not go well.

The data was acceptable to read, but his book was terribly drowsy to hand over a cover.

I could never read a book beyond a pinky, but Cardinal Alfredo's book was only half a handbreadth thick.

This guy was clearly as crazy as the first impression I saw.

How can you write seven books like this without a novel? If you have a mind, you can never do it.

Several times, I had Duke Brian read a book about Cardinal Alfredo and only looked at the data on his movements.

However, the amount of data was enormous, so I was stuck in a hotel room all day long in Divinum Castle and had to read only the documents.

‘That must have been quite a greeting. ’

Cardinal Alfredo was born as the eldest son of a duke family in the Kingdom of Billion, and has been a theologian since he was a child. He gave up his heir to his brothers and went on the path of the clergy.

The family's breadbasket will be behind him. He will be smart. His life as a clergyman was so smooth that he ran fast on his way to becoming a leader without any obstacles.

Meanwhile, he became a global noun by writing the first book, "The Fourth Floor Theory."

It was the theoretical politics that incorporated theories of theology and politics to explain modern feudal societies, and to find its validity in the will of God.

Until then, social wavelengths were very large because theology and politics were strictly separated.

This book justified the rights of kingdoms and nobles with theology.

However, this theory is only the beginning, and he has left several books to explore the nature of God. At the end, he creates a social impact by writing a book called "The End of Faith," in which greed eventually destroys faith and conventionally warns that it also destroys the current political system.

But for Cardinal Alfredo like this, there comes a great trial.

In the course of writing the sequel to the "end of faith," he went mad.

After a while, he killed several paladins and priests in the Church who wanted to abolish him, and spent the rest of his life in prison.

“Oh, you've lived a miserable life. ”

In one sentence, Cardinal Alfredo, It could be expressed as the essence of modern religious and feudal societies.

He was a very conservative person who despised human desires with God's word and moral superiority and sought extreme stability rather than social progress.

One question, however, was how this greeting made its way up to the nine-cycle Bible.

According to the data, his final degree is a five-cycle holy man.

At that time, he was over sixty years old and lived a life without bending, so it was very important to climb to the nine-cycle Bible until 11 years after he was known to be dead.

Of course, there was still 90 years after that, but his death age was 74.

At this point in time to cross the Jordan, I don't know how the remaining four stages are mediocre and have jumped to speed.

I woke up with a scratch on my head.

“Well, there's no case at all. ”

I went to the next room to find Duke Brian.

The duc invited several theologians to decipher Cardinal Alfredo's book.

The Duke stood up and greeted me.

“Grand Duke?”

“Uh, did you find anything? ”

Duke Brian looks embarrassed.

“Nothing in particular. ”

“But how many are there? ”

“There are, but they're not that different from three assessments. The fact that it looks like a moralist close to the wall, it is a famous painting of modern politics and theology. And my personal assessment, but a very logical person. Nothing else. ”

“Really?"

“Yes, this is very contrary to the Grand Duke. ”

I tilted my head.

Strange. Even though I and Alfredo Monk are on my way to explore the human spirit world, I can't help but share the same goal.

such as avoiding blindness and having a very flexible way of thinking about human desires.

However, Cardinal Alfredo, who had studied so far, was like the incarnation of moralism.

In no way, he was not a qualified candidate for a nine-cycle scripture.

If there was one thing that was doubtful, it was that he went through a deep review of human desires in the process of writing his last book in the last year.

Although I interpreted it in a bad way, I knew it well, so if there were any subsequent changes in the heart, it would have been a great help in raising the record.

“Well, it looks that way to me. ”

“But there's an interesting phrase. At the end of the last book," The End of Faith, "he wrote: ”

“Excuse me?”

“The hour of doom is near. Perhaps the" end of faith "sequel was trying to write about the attitude of the believers in the extinction of humanity, as opposed to the previous one. ”

I smiled, Pic.

“Hmm. Looks like you've been walking the path of a conspiracy theorist ever since. ”

“Yes?”

“No, I do. Funny thing about being human. ”

A moment came to me with the sharp gaze of theologians.

Cardinal Alfredo was a great teacher to them.

He couldn't be happy that I had ridiculed him and called him a conspiracy theorist.

Duke Brian says with an embarrassing face.

“But, Grand Duke, Why are you following his trail? ”

“I'm intrigued. ”

“Interesting?”

“Apparently, there's a lot of admirers. Not any elven woman I know. So just in case there's anything to get. ”

“Even so. Not someone the Grand Duke would be interested in, is he? ”

“Cardinal Alfredo then said, But not the other Alfredo. ”

“Yes? What other Alfredo? ”

“Alfredo at the time of the Apocalypse of Faith. ”

Duke Brian tilts his head.

“But I know there is no aftermath to the end of faith. ”

“There is. Obviously. ”

Suddenly, theologians' expressions changed rapidly.

The sequel to the end of faith is a theology book that anyone who studies theology deeply wants to see.

If it's a problem, it doesn't exist.

Duke Brian speaks in their own words.

“Where are you?”

“Yes. Someone I know has it. ”

“Who?”

“Yes, he does. ”

A theologian hurriedly approached me and spoke.

“Ho, was there a plaintiff left? ”

“Well, a plaintiff could be a manuscript. Anyway, it didn't come out in the book. ”

“Who the hell has the manuscript? ”

“I don't know yet. That's why we're trying to find out who this guy is. So work hard. I'll give it to you as a brochure when I find it. ”

“Yes! I understand. ”

The theologian who asked the question ran to his colleague and began exploring the book again.

He seemed to have great expectations for the end of the faith.

Seeing them like this, I lit up my eyes.

As did Princess Ignes, but apparently these theologians have great respect for Cardinal Alfredo as well.

Politically speaking, it also means that if I can move the monks of Alfredo, I can bend the current religious system.

I seem to have the hand of a great political power with an unexpected chance.

Of course, there are disadvantages that the end of the year is not good, but it still covers the position of a nine-cycle saint who first appeared in hundreds of years.

There is a belief in segae that the clergy recognizes excellent clergy as a deeply religious priest.

* * *

Rumor has it there was a manuscript left behind after the end of the faith, which struck Devinum at the battlefield in a flash.

So many high priests came to me and asked for their whereabouts, and even the Popes showed such deep attention that they would send people.

After amplifying the expectation that the time of destruction was near at the end of the previous episode, it did not come out.

Humans strangely had a vague fantasy about humanity's extinction.

The great theologian of an age declared the destruction of humanity, so I couldn't help but notice.

Humans are psychologically strange, by the way.

In the age of destruction, the authors who tried to escape the destruction of humanity show great concern for the destruction of humanity in the age of peace.

But it doesn't matter.

Respect for the priests' Alfredo Monk and their enormous interest in the book can be very helpful to me.

Then I headed to Kara as soon as I finished all the events at the previous Divinum.

The current Alfredo Monk is in Kara.

It's the middle of the night. In front of Kaoyan Emergency Hall, there was a black In-young who was still lighting the fire.

He was wearing full body armor, but as he looked around, he snuck into my office.

“Mr. White Face, how have you been? ”

The man was none other than Alone. A tail I put up to keep an eye on the Temple of Aid Salvation and the Monks of Alfredo.

“Welcome. Come and sit down.”

Alon, who sits like a jackass, whispers.

“But where have you been all this time? I thought it was a big deal that you didn't come. ”

“You said you had a long quest before I left. ”

“But I didn't think it would last more than two years. ”

I put out the pouch of gold coins I had prepared.

“How's it going? What's your movement? ”

Alon takes a pocketful of money.

“It's the same every time. My hobby is riding around the Great Desert on horseback riding, and I've been to Jores Island lately. ”

“Anything else? ”

“Well, there's nothing like going around the city and hearing about the end of the world and having an ongoing academic gathering for the study of humanity's apocalypse. Oh, there's one more thing. ”

“What?”

“Monk Alfredo is showing interest in you. ”

That's probably because I'm in the Mind Master.

I'm sure Monk Alfredo will know that I've been promoted to the Mind Master and that I'm aware of my situation.

“You're looking out for me. ”

“No, why? ”

“Monk Alfredo has a wicked side to him. I'm familiar with the facts. ”

Alon gives you a hard time thinking about something.

“Oh, no way. How naive is Monk Alfredo? ”

“That's why it's so nasty. He's not always the naive one. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. I looked into the old man. He was a world-renowned theologian. I mean, anyone with a name can know that. You're not the kind of person who would go that far. ”

Alon's eyes widen.

“You finally figured it out? ”

“Yes.”

“Who is it?”

“Cardinal Alfredo. ”

Alon looks frightened.

He's a paladin now. I studied theology in the process, so I couldn't have known Cardinal Alfredo.

Cardinal Alfredo was a dominant figure in modern theology.

“You're not the one I know, are you? ”

“Oh, right. ”

“That's ridiculous. He died 90 years ago. ”

“Yes. It's been known to do so. ”

“Beyond the known dimension, you can't be alive yet, can you? if he's human. If he's alive, he's over 160. ”

“Yeah. He's only 30 or 40 years younger than Grandpa Cloud. ”

Alon blinks as he realizes what I mean.

“Well, then maybe · · · · · ·? ”

“That's right."

“Well, if you say hello to Cardinal Alfredo, it's quite a possibility. ”

It was Alon who understood in a strange way.

Common sense is right, but it was more difficult for me than for a camel to get into a needle hole.

Religiously stubborn people can never explore the true spirit world.

The greatest value of religion is faith, and faith can never enter the path of truth.

“Anyway, there's something old. Make room soon. I'll figure it out myself. ”

“Yes.”

“And when this is over, your mission is over. ”

“The end? Perhaps? ”

I sent you a faint smile.

“Yes. After all the hard work, we must now move on to the path of true faith. Soon there will be a seat at the Central Church. Now you have to do my job there. ”

“Thank you. I will follow you with all my heart. ”

“Hmph. Just try and keep up the good work. That's what I do for a living. You know, your advancement is tied to me. If you don't, make sure you remember today. ”

“Yes.”

Then I made an appointment with the Alfredo Monk to settle the score.

Now that I know what the Alfredo Monk is, I have no reason to cry.

Besides, his life ended 90 years ago. No matter how hard you try, it won't come out.

I had to hear more from myself.
