chapter 252
252 – Part 2 Episode 80, Sending your beloved wife abroad alone? There is absolutely no way.
As I was resting at home thanks to the opinions of the priests who served, a great news was delivered from neutral territory.
Surprisingly, a large historical site was discovered in neutral territory!
The ruins were discovered on land owned by our denominational government that I had acquired.
Didn’t you send me some time ago because you needed what appeared to be a hero’s holy sword in order to open a door where you didn’t know what was inside?
I was a little worried because after I summoned the holy sword, I didn’t receive any notification that I needed it.
I guess it was just a meaningless worry on my part.
As I said before, according to reports from existing academic societies, there may have been no civilization at all in neutral areas.
Long before humans left records in books, the neutral area was a desert, and at best desert nomads wandered around and made a living.
However, we finally found traces of civilization.
That too from our church bureau, the church’s excavation team.
This amazing fact immediately spread around the world.
The conference continued for a long time, and then the people from the conference who claimed to be a ‘neutral regional civilization entity’ chewed up the conference and swallowed it up.
Naturally, the entire society collapsed, and a new team was formed to investigate the historical site and headed to neutral territory.
The scale alone is said to be the largest ever, reaching 3,000 people.
In a way, it was a natural scale because meaningful people from all over the world gathered in one place.
Of course, the rights to all excavated ruins and relics belong to our church, so they cannot be stolen.
“Hey, Elvin. Was there really no civilization in the neutral zone 3,000 years ago?”
That day, about a week after I started working while resting at home.
When Dave was burning for a while, he asked me about neutral territory, which I had no interest in.
I was a warrior traveling around the world 3,000 years ago, so I don’t know anything about geographical or cultural factors.
Since Dave is one of the few people who knows my identity, he probably asked because it would satisfy his intellectual curiosity.
I put down my pen and crossed my arms.
Even though I am a multi-talented person, there is only one thing that I vaguely know but come close to not knowing.
“At the time, it wasn’t called a neutral zone, it was called a desert continent, right?”
“Desert Continent? Is this your first time?”
“That’s right. It seems like it’s a word that isn’t used these days.”
desert continent.
It is a derogatory name given because there is nothing but a desert.
Nowadays, many people live there, and it may not be used because it is not just a desert.
However, 3,000 years ago, the land mass was so large that it was called trash land, with nothing but sand.
“Nowadays, people are trying to change the environment by planting trees and grass, so it is an environment where people can live, right?”
“That’s right. There are trees and grass…”
Dave probably remembers it because he went to neutral territory with me and Stella.
He’s probably reliving his memories of that time.
“But back then, there was nothing like that. It was called the desert continent because there was only real sand and oases.”
desert continent.
People used to call that continent the lifeless continent.
“Another interesting thing is that not many people tried to approach the desert continent.”
“You too, who was a warrior at the time?”
“I haven’t been to the desert continent either. However, I’ve heard that sharks live there.”
Sharks live on the desert continent.
Not a shark that lives in the water, but a shark that lives in the sand.
These guys are really brutal.
It is said that there were many cases where desert nomads, who existed in the hundreds until yesterday, suddenly ceased to exist.
How many people would go into a place like that on their own?
Of course, I never imagined there would be civilization.
The most important thing.
In those days, there weren’t even ships going to the desert continent.
“Even these days, there are rumors going around that several people have died from being attacked by desert sharks, right?”
“Ah, so that’s why you were making such a fuss about sharks?”
“…Why don’t you bring it up because it’s embarrassing?”
This guy also has a good memory for no reason…
At that time, before my memories came back, I was purely afraid of desert sharks.
“Well, let alone sharks… there aren’t many people in the desert in the first place, so there wasn’t any sighting information related to the servants of chaos.”
“Hmm? There are desert nomads, right? They got hit by a shark…”
“Is there anything left to serve as a catalyst for the minions of Chaos?”
“Now that I think about it, yes.”
Whatever it is, something has to remain.
Desert sharks digest everything, so there is little left.
But do the nomads kill and fight among themselves?
That’s not it either.
Looking at it this way, at that time it was a desert continent…
So, the neutral zone may have been safer and more peaceful compared to other continents.
“It doesn’t seem particularly peaceful…?”
Dave tilted his head, saying he couldn’t understand why he had such feelings.
It’s just that you feel that way because you didn’t live in that era.
***
The ruins discovered in the neutral area are underground ruins.
It also appears to be very large in scale.
I wondered how big it was, but I think it was a wonder that the basement existed without collapsing.
So how big is it?
“For example, they say it is similar to a large city like Lapan remaining underground.”
Stella is spreading her arms wide to express how big the historic site is.
He immediately fell into Stella’s arms and buried his face in her chest.
As I buried my face in her chest, Stella poked my cheek.
If you do this in the living room in broad daylight, the maids will warn you that you are having strange imaginations.
“The day may come when I have to go to neutral territory.”
Still, she sighs as she looks out into the yard outside.
Our saint seems to be anxious rather than looking forward to that day.
I was also at the moment when I was afraid that Stella would say that she was going to neutral territory alone.
Since I didn’t intend to let her go alone, I slightly moved away from her arms, brushed the hair on her forehead with my hand, and told her not to worry.
“I will go with you then, so don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried~♬”
This time, Stella acted like a child in my arms.
However, despite that, the anxiety I could not shake off from her tone of voice stimulated my heart a little.
Even though I’m a bit stupid and almost got kidnapped recently, I’m a hero.
I don’t think he’s so pathetic that he can’t protect his wife and daughter.
“Really? For something like that, you seemed quite worried?”
The tone became a bit strong.
Still, I felt Stella’s eyes become more generous after hearing my sincere tone.
“More than me, I wanted to know what to do with Luna. She is still young… but I also feel bad for being away from her mother for more than two months…”
“Ah… that’s true too.”
I guess Stella’s worries were elsewhere.
Luna is still young.
Isn’t this little boy about to turn 2 or 3 years old?
It must be difficult to take a child like that on a round trip for nearly a month.
Not only that, he will soon be 3 years old.
Luna is planning to attend a kindergarten attached to the church headquarters.
If that happens, it will be even more difficult to take them with them, and it will never be good to be separated from their parents.
Don’t I know that well?
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
I have no choice but to make sure today.
He told Stella, who was buried in worry and didn’t know what to do, that there was nothing he could do without mercy.
“After all, it can’t be helped…”
At my reaction, Stella kept her mouth shut for a moment and then sighed.
I don’t know exactly what kind of sigh it was, but it may have been a regret about the reality that had to be compromised.
“Then let’s leave Luna to her parents…”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Huh? Sir, just now…”
Why are you suddenly leaving Luna in the care of your parents?
I guess I’m mistaken.
He tilted his head, asking what he was talking about, and then punched Stella on the forehead.
Stella, who was suddenly caught in the middle of the night, looked at me while holding her forehead and pouted her lips.
“Sister. I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but I’m not saying Luna that I can’t help it.”
“Ah… isn’t it? Our Luna…”
I think this sister is mistaken, but it wasn’t Luna who said I couldn’t help it.
This does not mean that they have given up on a situation in which they have no choice but to leave their daughter away for about two months due to the parents’ work.
“Of course, what I can’t help is a neutral area. Honestly, my daughter is a thousand times more important than that place, but why am I staying away from her for over two months just to go inspect there?”
To be honest, I thought it was ridiculous.
No matter how important it is for a saint to visit neutral territory, I do not think it is more important than caring for and loving her children.
“There is no reason for Stella to go for an inspection in the first place. Just let any of the cardinals go.”
Even if it is a neutral area, there is no reason for Stella to go back and forth.
Is the neutral area so important that Sister Stella, who is the top priority in the Church of Christ, has to travel back and forth?
No, in the first place, the neutral area currently belongs to Stella.
Even if a mayor to manage a city in a neutral area is dispatched later, Stella has no reason to go unless the mayor comes to the Clergy Bureau and reports in person.
“Still, my sister is a saint in name and nature, so shouldn’t we honor her achievements in the Church and inspect her historical sites?”
“Yes… You, sir, have pierced my heart as expected…”
If you don’t notice Stella’s job title, daily behavior, and current facial expression, is that your husband?
No, I don’t think it’s my husband or anything like that.
“Just don’t worry about that. Nevertheless, if my sister says she thinks we should go see the historical site…”
I stroked her cheek and looked into Stella’s eyes, which were twinkling like stars in the sky.
I already knew what she wanted me to say and what I wanted to hear, so I spoke as if declaring.
“I will order Perry and Yongyong to completely destroy them so they can’t even enter the ruins.”
In the first place, it wasn’t even a historic site of a religious organization, so what value could it have?
As Stella held her hand tightly, she smiled brightly, as if the worries in her heart had disappeared.
