I Was Chosen as the Saint’s Husband

246 – Part 2 Episode 74, Using the Holy Sword as a Key?

Have you ever brought Luna to the church headquarters?

At least you can say that this is your first time seeing something you don’t remember.

I’m not sure why, but my father-in-law, the Pope, called Stella and me.

We, who had been spending our time peacefully, didn’t really want to go because we thought it would be a hassle, but since it was the Pope’s call, we brought Luna to the church headquarters.

Why did you bring Luna here?

When I told them I was going out for a while, they hugged my dad and mom and stuck out their lips.

How could I go out and leave such a chick-like daughter at home?

So, since the church headquarters was a place I would take him someday, I took this opportunity to bring him there.

“Grandpa!!”

Luna runs over when she sees her father-in-law waiting in front of the Pope’s office at the Vatican.

It seems like he wanted to make a fool of his grandfather, who gave him infinite affection.

Even though I come here every day, I can’t help but smile bitterly.

Luna seems to really like that kind of grandfather.

“Oh, my granddaughter!”

“Hehe, grandpa.”

The father-in-law hugged Luna as she ran over.

It seemed like they only saw each other once during a holiday, so most of the people present smiled bitterly.

Except for one person.

My sister Stella was not smiling bitterly, but smiling brightly.

“Grandpa! Please lift and release!”

“Is that so? Then….tsk!!”

Isn’t there a common saying about giving a ride on a plane?

Since there were no airplanes in this world, there was no specific word to call it, but Luna seems to be calling it “lifted and put down.”

The father-in-law casually played with Arin by lifting her up and putting her down.

Arin, who seemed to be satisfied, got down to the floor and clung to her grandfather’s Daria.

…It’s cute.

If I were an adult, I might have gone crazy because Luna is so cute.

“Whew… Then let’s go inside.”

“yes.”

He looked a little tired, but he picked Arin up in one arm and went into the office.

How is such behavior possible at that age?

I want to learn something.

After all, not just anyone can be the pope of a denominational country.

When we came inside, there were already people who had arrived before us.

It was my brother and sister-in-law.

Stella sat next to my brother-in-law, and I sat next to my brother, and my father-in-law sat Luna on his lap.

And Luna, as if it was obvious, picked up a cookie on the table, sat down on her father-in-law’s lap, and started eating it, making noises like a hamster.

“The reason I called you two into the office is because I have something to tell you about neutral territory.”

He gently stroked Luna’s head and got to the point.

Neutral zone?

I think I heard that foundation construction started some time ago.

Does anyone still have anything to say about that?

I couldn’t even imagine what was going on, so I turned my gaze towards Stella.

Sister Stella was also tilting her head as if she didn’t know anything in particular.

“It’s only been two days since we received this report, so this may be the first time you two have heard of it. First of all, it appears that sandstorm measures have been successful.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

I understand that the sand storms are quite severe because our church’s construction site is near a large oasis.

I heard that that’s why construction was delayed significantly.

But, it seems like it has been resolved.

Did you think this could be solved with a sunshade or something?

On Earth, things like sunshades are used to prevent dust from flying around when buildings are dismantled.

Additionally, I know that if you spray water on it, there will be almost no dust flying around.

Ah… but are dust and sandstorms wrong again?

It might be meaningless because it would be different from pouring in from the outside and blowing out from the inside.

“I heard that a sunshade was used. Of course, it must be a sunshade for construction sites.”

“There is such a thing…”

“I’ve only heard about it, but I heard it’s used a lot at construction sites in neutral areas.”

Well, the neutral area is a desert area, so how can the workers rest if they don’t avoid the sunlight?

I feel like sending you something like a magic tool and a farmhouse that can breathe the cold air conditioner air.

Aren’t you still working hard now?

“Well… I’m taking a break right now.”

Wow.

It appears that something serious has happened that requires construction to be halted for a while.

That seems to be the main point.

So, it doesn’t really matter whether or not you can stop the sandstorm.

*

The main point of what my father-in-law said was this.

A large historical site was discovered under the territory of the Church of Christ.

Since the neutral area has been a desert area since time immemorial, there has never been any civilization.

Before people were sent from each country to gain territory, there were only desert nomads.

But a historical site was discovered there…

How contradictory is this?

Civilization has never been established.

Nevertheless, ruins that are traces of civilization were discovered.

So who built the historic site?

A nomadic people’s ruins?

There is no reason for a nomadic people wandering around to create something like that.

“It hasn’t been completely interpreted yet, but it appears to be a tomb dedicated to a monarch equivalent to a king.”

“Then there is a possibility that there is something like a relic inside.”

“Yes, it was buried deep in the dirt, so there is no possibility that it was stolen. You can’t get in without the key in the first place.”

So, this great first discovery was made in the Church of Christ.

As a result, there is a possibility that it can develop not only as a trade hub but also as an Anari cultural city.

Create a museum by excavating artifacts.

Wouldn’t scholars and relic excavators around the world be interested in the idea of ​​an artifact discovered at a historic site created by an unknown civilization?

In an instant, an idea of ​​how to develop the territory came to mind.

Yes… Oratorium and Kuwatoriam might be able to become tourist cities like Greece and Egypt.

However… the problem is that there is no key.

You can’t go inside without the key…

However, tearing it down would damage the ruins…

Even the door leading into the ruins would be of great value.

“Did you by any chance find the key?”

“No, you don’t need to look for it.”

“yes?”

“Well… it looks like the key is the hero’s holy sword…”

huh?

The warrior’s holy sword?

For a moment, I scratched my ear slightly, wondering if I had heard correctly.

Because I didn’t understand why that was the key.

Did the goddess put such a function in it?

“I’m not sure, but I think it’s the phrase that was written.”

The father-in-law unfolded the scroll that had been placed on one side of the table in front of him.

It was written here and there in characters I had never seen before.

Naturally, it was a letter I had never seen before in my previous life.

“The interpretation is written below.”

“…The sacred sword made of brilliant gold will open the mouth of the River Styx and guide our noble leaders to the Underworld…”

River Styx…

Clearly, it was the name of the river leading to the underworld.

And the holy sword I have.

It says brilliant gold. Does this mean gold Styx that contains magical power?

A sacred black sword.

The River Styx seems to be related to Styx, a gold containing magical power that is the material of the holy sword.

And leading to the underworld means that the inside is a tomb…

Leading a leader to the underworld is the monarch’s tomb.

Yes… But why do I need the warrior’s holy sword to enter the tomb of such a monarch?

No matter how much I look at it, I don’t understand it.

“Your Majesty, could you please take out the holy sword?”

“Oh, the holy sword? Just a moment.”

It’s a bit rude to take out a knife in front of your father-in-law.

He got up from his seat, went to the corner, pulled out his sword, and placed it on the table.

For reference, I put it in the sheath properly and put it down.

Because I am a polite son-in-law.

“Is it okay for someone else to touch it?”

“It’s okay. It comes when I call it, but it’s not much different from other swords.”

The father-in-law looked a little worried and grabbed his sword.

In the past, there was a function that only heroes could touch, but after I resealed chaos, it broke and lost all of its power, right?

So now, the Holy Sword is no longer a simple sword containing divine energy.

“As expected, it’s great…”

He turned his waist slightly to check the blade of the sword behind him and then put it down.

It seems that he put it down appropriately because Luna was in his arms.

“I might need to borrow this holy sword for a while.”

“Hmm… Well, it might be okay for a week or so.”

The holy sword returns to my waist as soon as I call it.

So, you can summon it without waiting for it to come back.

Even if you lose it in neutral territory, it’s no problem.

“Then I’ll just borrow it for a week. You can take it back after a week.”

“All right.”

Seonggeom… you too live a very strange life.

Who became the owner when I was not in this world…

You’re trying to use the holy sword as a key.

Your brain is quite good.
