chapter 16
Episode 16-Convergence
A huge festival unfolded in Lemfra Village.
It was not a festival to celebrate the factual occupation of the northern village, but a grand festival in which Eria and Atimos were officially appointed as apostles.
Catria said that it would be okay to be appointed as an apostle in their own city, but that it would be better to hold the ceremony in a village with the protection of the main deity, Lemfra, so they decided to go up to Lemfra Village and hold the apostle appointment ceremony.
“Mother, please give me a chance to show allegiance to you.”
Eria knelt on her floor and pressed her forehead to the ground. Other citizens also knelt down and put their foreheads on the ground at the action, which was full of the meaning of obeying God.
Paint was no exception.
Although Feint was an apostle of Lemfra, he was a very inferior being compared to Catria.
Because it was a very natural thing to worship God from a human standpoint.
Following Lemfra’s will, Lemfra Village was growing as a center of transportation connecting other villages, but its size was not that big yet.
Their village, which has a population of just over 200 people, can actually accommodate about 800 people.
Considering the times, it could be assumed that it could accommodate a large enough number of people, but there were more people than that in Lemfra Village now.
On the day their leader received the blessing of the main god, the villagers of Catria or Ifritia could not remain in their villages.
Everyone stopped working for a day and came to Lemfra Village, but since not a single person was left out, more than 400 people gathered in this way.
In addition, among the people of the 8 villages, those with deep faith in the gods came to Lemfra Village, so the village was literally very densely packed.
Goddess Catria did not pass a test as difficult as Lemfra.
Catria, who had been watching her Eria closely and grasped her personality and abilities, appointed her as her apostle the moment her Eria hit her head on herself.
A symbol representing a green book was engraved on her forehead.
They did not yet know the concept of a book, but as time passed, they would know what the patterns embedded in their ancestors meant.
“Lady Ifritia, I will serve you. Give me strength!”
Attimos’ voice resonated throughout the village.
Attimus also did not undergo a great test.
She has proven her worth so well over the past two years that her Ifritia carves her red spear pattern on her forehead without questioning or questioning her.
[This is the day my daughter was appointed as my apostle, so I will give you a gift.]
Numerous symbols popped up in Aria’s head.
[The words you have spoken so far originated from the language of God, but the words you use have nothing to do with God. I will give you a letter written by God, so use this letter to prosper your forces.]
God’s letter.
God’s character consisting of 14 consonants and 10 vowels.
It was the alphabet of the country where Lemfra was located, which is called Hangeul in modern times.
Those they ruled spoke well, but their writing system was not very developed.
In the past, people in the vicinity had the same writing system, as if they were related, but since they were using hieroglyphs, the meaning could not be perfectly conveyed.
For them, Katria taught them Hangeul as the divine letter.
What kind of characters are Hangeul?
In terms of the speed of learning, isn’t it one of the fastest-learning characters in the world?
I could write all the words they use in Korean.
[God’s text is not a text given to you to use only among you. Let even one more person use our text and spread the name.]
“Okay, mother.”
[I have nothing to give. It just strengthens the body. Or take it well.]
“I understand. Ifritia-sama!”
Attimos’ voice echoed through the village once again.
Thus ended the two apostles’ ordination ceremony.
Up until now, they had never been appointed separately, but since the two of them were in fact recognized as agents of God, the ceremony did not last long.
After the apostle appointment ceremony, a festival was held in the village.
It was the moment when two apostles of the great god were born.
Unfortunately, alcohol was not developed yet, so I couldn’t drink alcohol, but everyone mixed in a bright atmosphere.
At this moment, there was no discrimination between other villagers.
People from 8 villages, who are widely believed to have sinned against God, were not discriminated against today.
‘I’m envious.’
In the midst of the festival that everyone was comfortably enjoying, Namaret, a god of Alfre who has now become a slave god, looked at them and thought.
If he had done a little better, wouldn’t Alfredo have been able to become an apostle in our village as an absolute god?
The moment Lemfra first appeared, if I had said that I would go south first and go under Lemfra instead of waiting for another village to be occupied and trembling in fear.
Wouldn’t the story have changed a lot?
Looking at the darkening sky, the girl swallowed a lonely smile.
****
Time passed quickly.
The number of villages increased by 8.
Until now, three villages had lived together, but three times as many people were suddenly added.
There was no time to focus on anything else.
Under the leadership of Katria, who has the name of the god of wisdom in her own way, projects that could dream of harmony between villages were carried out.
We dispatched people to each other’s villages to share the culture of each village, and to have women and men meet and get married.
Because of this, Aria is too busy to carry out further research on copper, but copper can be researched again at any time, while relationships between people do not work if the button is screwed the first time.
Despite Katria’s efforts, the people of 8 villages could not easily integrate.
They were basically rebels against Lemprasin.
Even if they had a completely different look from the existing villagers, and even if they felt physiological anxiety and felt the difference, if they had followed Lempra’s words, the people of Lemfra and other villages would not have discriminated against them. Will be.
But they were sinners.
They say they have repented now, but at one time, they were humans who fought against Lemfra, so even the villagers couldn’t get along easily.
Since this was a matter of faith units, Katria had no tricks.
It was at the level of wondering if the answer would be to say that Lemfra completely forgave them by the time all the people who had sinned against Lemfra had died and their children had repopulated the village.
Although the people of the 8 villages were discriminated against compared to other villages, only one village among them continued to receive good reviews from the existing villages.
“Hey, take a break.”
“No. I am working to pay for my sins. How can I work while resting?”
Unlike other forgotten gods, the people active in the village, clearly named Alfre, were really strong-willed and highly motivated to work.
His will was so strong that he often visited Lemfra Village and other existing villages to lend a hand for free, and went to Lemfra Village to pray for 30 minutes before returning to his own village. They said that they were struggling so hard to put Alfre back to the place of God, so the other villagers also looked at them positively.
Other villages didn’t work that hard even though they committed crimes.
Only the village of Alfre worked so hard with the single-mindedness of putting Alfre back in the place of a god.
The higher the awareness of Alfre villagers, the higher the chance that Alfre will return to being a god.
Alfre’s follower Namaret knew that very well.
‘Smart b*tch.’
I had no intention of freeing Alfre from slavery.
By making her live as a slave forever, Lemfra wanted to let people know how long those who rebel against her suffer for a long time.
But Namaret’s dedication was so great, and the direction was good.
Alfre’s name was known to other ordinary believers, and by raising their awareness of themselves, Alfre committed sins, but he had a great desire to pay for his sins.
Divine power comes from faith.
Even after 100 years, if Alfre had the same evaluation as he does now, he decided to free Alfre from slavery.
