Athanas couldn’t understand it.
Even if the world were to crumble around him, he claimed he would do nothing.
Of course, those words could have been a mere ruse, said to dissuade Athanas, possessor of [Retrograde], from taking action.
A blinding halo, so radiant it sent shivers down the spine, illuminated the blond young man from behind. Though appearances often deceive, this halo remained unchangeable, a beacon of truth that could not be denied.
Okay, I’ll admit it - my mixed signals might have caused some awkward misunderstandings.
If a female character invites you to her room and coyly whispers, ‘Do whatever you want with me,’ even a goblin like me would think she’s trying to seduce me.
Of course, there are players who have switched sides and joined the Order! The Church of Order is always one step ahead, fully prepared for anything! The game was over before it even began! Order will always prevail!
Athanas always seemed to keep to himself, never really trying to make friends. You’d think that would make him an easy target for players, but somehow these guys just left him alone, even when he was at his loneliest and desperate for someone to talk to.
But what the hell is this bastard thinking of doing to someone has (mistakenly believed) an allergy to divine power?
Is he seriously planning to test if there’s a specific type of blessing that causes allergies…?
What if it causes a huge problem?
“Well, if that’s the case, what should I do? I am ignorant and foolish, so I’ll do as you say, Mr. Ter.”
“...You’re just going to do as I say without question? Without your own thoughts and judgment?”
“Yes.”
Isn’t that what faith is all about? Just going with it? Blind obedience?
Anyway, the important thing on my to-do list today is lunch with Mr. Tartar Sauce - that’s my nickname for Tertius, the 6th Apostle. This guy has the unique ability of seeing emotions in color and he’s not exactly subtle about his crush on Adna.
Getting scolded for not knowing something they never bothered to teach me was pretty annoying.
Still, I managed to keep my cool on the outside, putting on the act of a serf too intimidated to show any annoyance.
On my third day at the Order, I was curious about something that happened yesterday. While Elamin was helping me with my fascia, I decided to bring it up.
“Excuse me, do you have a moment? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you...”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t.”
“Huh?”
I bowed my head slightly, trying to get around the guy with the melona hair who was blocking my path, but he stepped right in front of me again.
“Could it be the keeper of the treasury god, Horeum?”
“Or perhaps Ophia of Solace?”
His peers, buzzing with theories about families famous for their vast collections of ‘holy relics,’ turned their attention to Athanas.
