Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 1115: Walking battery
Chapter 1115: Walking battery
That look on her face made it very clear why she brought us here.
At the same time, it filled me with this feeling as if I had just been used...
But there was nothing that could be said since we were in their territory.
In a way, it could be said that this was just the price that had to be paid to come to this place. Since I was the only one that had this Mark of God, it was only natural that I would be used in this way.
After staring at the statue for a while, Saintess Irene turned back and said with bright glowing eyes, "Do you see this? I've never seen this statue glowing with this kind of holy light before. It must be because it can feel your presence, holy son."
She didn't even hide the fact that she had led us here on purpose.
The way that she said this, it was almost as if she was openly admitting this to our faces.
It was just that the way that she said this didn't seem to have any malice, so it was hard to get angry with her... ƒгeewebnovёl.com
After listening to her for a bit, I asked, "What do you mean by feel my presence?"
While I had an idea of what it was, I wanted to hear what she had to say about this.
I was surprised to find that this was all that was needed to trigger her.
It was as if there was something that had been unleashed with Saintess Irene as she started letting the words flow out.
"You see, this statue was a special statue that was made by Master Juliano. It is the greatest statue of the lord that was ever created in our Holy Empire. It took several days and nights of continuous carving even from Master Juliano to create this statue, but the product is worth it. If you look closely..."
The way that she continued on describing all of the small details of the statue, it was almost as if she was some kind of fanatic for the statue.
No, in the words of my previous world, it was better to call it an otaku.
Of course, it wasn't as if she was an otaku for statues.
She was a religious fanatic, one that seemed to have a level of faith that one would find in a cult.
This was definitely the kind of faith that would be considered dangerous.
After all, if there was something that jeopardized their faith, they would do what was necessary to get rid of that thing that was threatening their faith.
In some cases, they wouldn't hesitate to go all out against that thing that was threatening their faith.
So it was dangerous to be near this kind of person.
It was just that we didn't have a choice but to be with her.
After around ten minutes, she finally finished giving her explanation about what was special about the statue. Though it really seemed like there was a part of her that wanted to continue talking about the statue, or even continue talking about the lord that she served.
Though the reason that she stopped wasn't because she was holding back.
Rather, it was because...
"Now, let's go and see the next spot." Saintess Irene said with a smile before gesturing at us as if she wanted to follow.
The statue of Solista in the center of this garden was still glowing even though we left the clearing.
Though the Mark of God that was on my hand seemed to have calmed down even though the statue was still glowing.
I had no idea how long the statue would continue glowing, but my guess was that it would stop soon since the source of the energy which was me was leaving.
It was just that I had no idea what I was getting myself into...
...
By the end of the day, I was exhausted.
That was because Saintess Irene had dragged us to several different places in the Holy Empire's capital city. These were places that were scattered all around the city, so it took quite a bit of traveling to reach all those different places.
Even with horse carriages, it was still a lot of walking since most of these places were large empty spaces.
As one would guess from the first place that she took us, all of the places that we were dragged were religious monuments. They all contained special monuments that were dedicated to the gods.
And at each of these locations, the Mark of God would always appear without fail and cause a reaction from those monuments.
It was like the statue of Solista that we went to first.
As soon as we arrived, the Mark of God would appear and there would be a glow that appeared around these things. But that wasn't the only thing that happened as there were more signs that appeared.
At one of the fountains, there was this glowing water that was released by the fountain. When it was tested, they found that this was holy water that was released by the fountain. At one of the other monuments which was just a hole, that was where trouble occurred. That hole was the hole that was left behind by one of the gods, though no one knew why the god had left this hole behind. Still, since it was a thing that was left behind by one of the gods, it was treated as a holy place and worshipped by the followers of that god.
When the Mark of God appeared though, the hole suddenly started filling itself up...
It was as if there was something guiding it to fill itself up...
It was just a good thing that the Holy Empire was filled with people that had fanatic belief towards their gods and they treated this as an act of god, so that now filled up hole was still treated as holy grounds.
The way that they brought me around to all their monuments and caused all of these things to happen...it was as if they were treating me as some kind of walking battery.
But judging from the look on Saintess Irene's face, it didn't seem like she had any ulterior
motives.
"I really don't understand these religious types..." I couldn't help muttering to myself as I entered my room.
