Eternally Regressing Knight Chapter 617

617. Even when the cold wind blows, warmth remains

“How about making every monastery a child-care center?”

To conclude, Overdeer knew how to deal with people. He wasn’t just wasting his age.

‘In the West, they say that when you get old, you become spicy.’

Encred, who was listening from the side, had such thoughts. They were drinking cheap tea as usual in the small reception room of the monastery.
Overdeer did not immediately tell Noah to come to the church and take a seat. He did not ask him to sacrifice his body for the cause and the church.

“If there are people who go out to the battlefield and fight, don’t we also need people to look after and rescue children?”

It was just a repetition of what Noah had already done and done. As he listened, Encred seemed to know what Overdeer was going to say next.

“Come to the church. Find others like you there, and create a monastery like this one. There will never be another time when you have to find false saints and saintesses. I will do it, but it is too difficult for me to do it alone. Please help me.”

He said this while pushing the chair away and kneeling down. The directing was excellent.

‘It really feels like I’m seeing an old fox.’

Encred’s impression was like that. A renowned paladin, one of the best in the sect, knelt down and asked for help.
It was not the kind of attitude one would show to a mere priest. It seemed like he was trying to make him feel burdened so that he wouldn’t be able to refuse.
It wasn’t like Noah didn’t know why the other person was acting like that.
Noah was calm even after seeing Overdeer kneel. He didn’t have to get up and grab Overdeer to stop him. He
just opened his mouth with a calm attitude and tone.

“You don’t have to do that.”

Encred saw this and decided that he didn’t need to be there.
Whether he was there or not, Noah was not the type of person to follow others.
Rather, he would just follow the will he had inside him.
Noah had the light that was created by faith, belief, will, and such things.
He didn’t have any divinity because he wasn’t born with talent.

‘Then what is divinity?’

It was a sudden curiosity. It seemed that there was no need to guard this spot any longer.
Overdeer was not embarrassed by Noah’s attitude and that his plan had not worked. On the contrary, he looked satisfied.
Encred decided to get up when he saw the two.
The rest would be taken care of by the two of them.

“I just thought of something to do.”

Encred spoke and stood up.

“I never asked you to stay in the first place.”

Overdeer said to Encred as he was leaving. It wasn’t a scolding, but more like a grumble to indicate that he didn’t trust him that much. That was also a joke.

“Let’s talk about it later, my friend.”

Noah said with a soft smile. Even when he insisted on interfering, she would have said that it was unnecessary, but she just left it alone, and it was the same when she said she was leaving. It was an attitude that came out of respecting the other person’s will.

“friend?”

But Overdeer blinked at the words coming out of Noah’s mouth.
What friend all of a sudden? He said with his face. The old knight’s expression was very rich.

“That’s how it happened. That’s how friendship was born.”

When Encred answered roughly, Overdeer asked.

“Didn’t you say you were close friends with the King of Naurilia?”
“Yes, that’s right.”

Overdeer’s expression was really strange. It was like he had chewed a pie with a strange taste.
It was a pie that was neither delicious nor terrible. And then he said.

“Should we be friends too?”
“No.”

Encrid answered immediately and left without looking back.

“why?”

Overdeer asked from behind, but there was no need to answer.

“Do you need a friend?”

Noah’s smiling voice was heard again and again. Encred went outside and looked around the monastery.
Since it was the night after the battle, everyone was staying up all night to deal with the battlefield and the situation.
Old Man Overdeer was also there, holding onto Noah, as if he wasn’t busy.
Encred could see the inside of the monastery before the sun had risen yet. The moonlight was obscured by clouds, and the only sources of light were the torches erected here and there.
It must have been similar yesterday, but the atmosphere and air of the monastery now were different from last night.
Even though it was time for everyone to sleep, there was a sense of energy here and there. There must be a lot of joy now that they’ve come back from the dead.
Encred read that atmosphere and headed toward the area near the dormitory.
The monastery was not large and couldn’t accommodate everyone, so only a few people were inside.
The Mad Knights had rented one of the large rooms.
As they headed there, they felt an even greater energy than the energy that spread throughout the monastery.

“Shining Bear, I will send you to the side of the god you love.”

Rem’s scream was proof of that.
Next.

“Brother, would you like to greet our Father in Heaven? I will personally offer a prayer so that he may go away for a moment.”

There was a bear that gave off light in the night.

“If you can’t avoid it, you’ll die.”

Ragnar’s voice was also heard.
Yes, it would have been a shame to miss out.
As Audyn radiated light and made a commotion, naturally, onlookers gathered.
Among them were the head of the Order of the Exterminating Societies and his subordinates, and the people of the monastery who looked on with anxious eyes.
Should we say that it was fortunate that Saxon and Sinar did not join?
Or should we sigh at the sight of these people running wild with energy even though it was a night after the battle?
Naturally, Encred did not sigh.

“Are you saying you’re doing this without me?”

Instead, he complained.
It was understandable. How could he be the only one who could hang out
with him? Moreover, when he had just begun to be curious and inquisitive about the divine, Audyn, who had awakened the divine, parted ways without even shaking hands with him. So shouldn’t it be my turn first?

“I’m the captain.”

Encred stepped in without hesitation. Ting, he drew his sword and spewed out Will while increasing the time.
At the same time, he crossed his feet back and forth to gain speed and got in between the fierce attacks.
His thoughts accelerated, he recognized the situation, and an invisible Will took possession of his arm, and the blade flew at a speed that most people would not be able to see.
Just as Ragna swung his sword diagonally and Rem swung his axe horizontally.
Audin was in between and spun around. Then, Encred entered the spot where Audin had been. He suddenly jumped in and entered the attack range of Rem and Radna. It
was natural to be surprised and panicked, but Encred was grateful for Audin’s consideration and struck the two weapons away.

earth!

Even though he struck two weapons, the sound seemed to ring only once.
Encred blocked Ragnar’s sword with the true silver sword in his right hand and blocked the axe with the spark in his left hand, and he did so at exactly the same time. He
did not simply block with force, but at the moment when Rem and Ragnar’s weapons met, he tried to upset their balance by releasing force, but they both took back their weapons without any trouble.

“Huh, do you think I’d be affected by something like that?”

Rem snorted.
Fatigue from battle? There was some. It couldn’t be that there wasn’t any. But it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t swing his sword, and it was naive to believe that he could always fight in the best condition.
If he held a sword, he should know how to fight anytime, anywhere.
If you asked why he was sparring now, he would answer like this.
Well, in reality, he just did it because he wanted to.

“Come, brother! You must know that my hands and feet are different!”

Audin welcomed Encrid with a voice full of joy.

“Yeah, I didn’t play either.”

Encred also accepted. Originally, when I came out, I had planned to ask what divinity was, but I thought I could ask that later, so I was going to hang out for now.

* * *

“It’s hard to see this as normal.”

The vice-captain said.

‘I thought you said he was crazy.’

This is what I heard just as the priest was thinking about that.

“It looks that way to me too.”

The captain listened calmly. Training the body is hard. No one can deny that. However, there were some who enjoyed it instinctively.
It was impressive to see that in front of my eyes.
In addition,

‘I don’t think we can guarantee a win.’

In the Holy Nation, if you were to stretch out ten fingers, where would you rank yourself?
As a knight, you know that you can’t simply list the level of power.
It’s pointless to rank who is the strongest and who is the weakest.
Where the battlefield is, what the situation is, what the mindset is, all these factors determine victory or defeat.
Even so, to some extent, it’s like the instinct of a swordsman to gauge each other’s skills.
Even if he wasn’t at the top of the ten fingers, he couldn’t deny that he was among them.
In his eyes, none of them were easy.

‘Are they all at that level?’

The priests know that there is still hidden power in the Holy Nation.
There is also a so-called genius. A guy who realized what Will is before he turned twenty. I saw him once in the Holy City, and his talent was like a shining star.
But now, looking at these people running wild in front of me, I couldn’t even think of the young genius I saw back then.
They are all monsters.
In terms of swordsmanship, the blond, languid-looking guy is the best, but the gray-haired westerner’s agility and instantaneous destructive power are no less impressive.
And what about the other two?
It was hard to say who had the upper hand right away. I was just watching them for a while.

“……Chief?”

When the vice-captain called him, he saw him looking at him with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”
“You are holding a weapon.”

At the vice-captain’s words, the captain only then realized that I was holding the hammer that I had kept at my waist.

“under.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.
What is this?
Why does my body feel tense on its own? For what? Because I want to join them and have a good time? He
decided to walk the path of an avenger, so he is a priest of the cult of social destruction.
However, he also had a childhood. A time when he filled himself with passion.
Now, when I saw them, especially the author Encred, moving, my heart raced.
I wanted to have a good time with them.
I also remembered the time when I was learning and mastering weapons and moving forward.

“It looks like you’re having a lot of fun.”

The leader was tight-lipped. But some of the members seemed to feel the same way.
The noisy sparring session quickly came to a close.

“Let’s do it again when we wake up. When it’s time to sleep, sleep.”

Prok sorted out the situation in the middle.
No one was really fighting to the death. They looked fierce on the outside, but they didn’t take out everything they had. The captain saw it that way. That was after they woke up. Some of the priests went to the mad knights’ quarters.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

They were impressed by what Encred had shown last night. Not only was the skill he showed great, but his spirit was also amazing.
He didn’t approach them rudely.
Also, Encred was the type to really enjoy this kind of reaction.

“Okay.”

There was a duel. It was a duel that ended with a few swings of the sword. The paladin bowed his head gently.

“I learned well.”

There was no particular advice to give. As I was repelling the Divine Infiltration with the Will of Rejection, there wasn’t much I could do as a Templar with my special ability blocked.

“Can I have a go at it too?”

Here, the captain also stepped forward, and Encred nodded again.
To be honest, it was Encred who was eager to try his hand first.
The captain took out his weapon. It was two hammers that were slightly longer than a short sword.

“The Lord cares for me.”

As he took out his hammer and muttered, a soft light flowed out from the hammer.
As a result, there was no clear winner or loser.

“Should I die here and be killed?”

There was a Rem chopping wood in the middle to dry it.

“Captain!”

Several priests grabbed hold of the leader as he was thrown backwards with his breastplate dented.

“If we do this any more, one of us will die.”

The captain said.

“I don’t think that’s me.”

When Encred awkwardly answered the question, the leader simply snickered.
Before the priests left after two more days, Encred often met with them.
It was mainly a duel. He also heard things to watch out for when meeting other social groups.

“The person the cult hates the most right now is probably Kyung-il. So you should be careful. You should be wary of assassins and people like that.”

This is what they say.
They were the ones who knew the cult the best on the entire continent.
So they knew that the apostle had died and that Encred had taken over.
After Overdeer left with a few of the holy warriors, and even the priests left, Encred also packed up and left.

“Should we go back to the unit and do more training, brothers?”

Audin greets you in the morning.

“Education? Kyooo …

Rem also welcomed the bright sunlight and said, “Noah stood in front of Encred.”

“Should I go now?”
“I should go.”

Noah remembered the conversation he had with Encred a few days ago.

‘There is no guarantee that you will win.’

Noah also realized something in that conversation. There is no guarantee that what he does will be helpful. There is no guarantee that things will go as he wants even if he enters the church. It
will be more dangerous than it is now, and there will be more times when he will not achieve what he wants than what he intended.
That is the reality.
Nevertheless, he decided to go. And he could not say that this man had no influence on his current decision.

“I received help.”

Noah said.

“Yeah.”
“Can we meet again next time?”

Noah’s tone was much softer than before. Encred just nodded. Indifferently.

“I guess so.”

There was no need for further explanation of what was to happen.
People bowed their heads as they left the monastery.

“I have received your grace.”
“May God bless you.”
“I will pray for you every morning and evening.”

Now that the darkness that had covered the monastery had passed, warmth seeped into my heart as they spoke. Even as
the winter winds pierced my skin, I felt as if I would never forget this warmth.

“It’s so fucking cold.”

Of course, Rem would just complain about the cold.
But even so, she was talking after leaving the monastery, and she did interact with people quite a bit inside. When
the child said thank you, she even patted his head for no reason.
On the way back, Encred showed the curiosity she had been harboring.

“What is divinity?”

It was a question directed at Audin. The one-eyed man rolled his feet lightly and approached the large horse that Audin was riding.
The sturdy war horse that Overdeer had given him as a gift during their separation was carrying Audin.
