What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Although his profession is only 'Secret Sword Wielder', having the identity of 'Dawn Priest' does make things much more convenient.

It was also when he went to the Holy Tribunal.

Huixing District, Third Subdistrict.

In front of the makeshift shack made of wood and canvas, Una sat on a small wooden stool, holding a small piece of bread with jam on it.

They ate very, very slowly, taking only a tiny bite each time.

Looking at the fallen leaves drifting in the wind not far away, his eyes were filled with peace and relief.

Lorne has grown up and no longer needs her care.

The Lord's revelation has arrived, so what reason does she have to stay?

Yes.

She seemed to regard what happened today as a divine revelation given to her by the Lord of Dawn.

host……

It is calling to her.

It took her a while to finish that small piece of bread.

Una got up, lifted the canvas, and went into the shack.

She changed into her white cotton robe, which had the fewest patches and looked brand new.

Then he took out a glass bottle about the thickness of a thumb from a small wooden box in the corner.

Through the bottle, you can see the dark red liquid inside sloshing around.

She sat calmly on the small bed, her eyes showing no fear of what was about to happen.

The decay of the body does not mean death; the souls of the devout will eventually ascend to heaven and attain eternity under the Lord's glorious protection.

"Lord, may your glory bless me."

With a soft click, Una uncorked the bottle and drank the dark red liquid inside in one gulp.

After doing all this, she lay down on the small bed, clasped her hands in front of her, and slowly closed her eyes.

If you still have savings.

She might buy herself a new dress so that she can go to the Lord's Kingdom in the most dignified state.

but now……

It's ultimately impossible.

Soon, as the drug took effect, her life force began to weaken, her body began to die, and her soul gradually separated from her body during this process.

That was a completely different feeling.

In a daze, she seemed to see a holy figure walking out from endless radiance.

Pure and sublime!

With each flap of its pure white wings, countless rays of pure and warm sunlight are scattered.

Angel!

"Una Fisher, are you devout?"

The sacred sounds echoed, seemingly striking the very depths of one's soul, leaving Una somewhat dazed.

Was she guided by an angel from under the Lord's throne?

Or was it all just her hallucination?

She couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood, but she followed her heart and gave her own answer.

“I believe in the Lord and have never been unfaithful for a moment.”

Upon hearing this answer, the perceived scene shattered, replaced by sacred pillars inscribed with mysterious runes.

The runes seemed to come alive, like chains that kept pulling at her soul.

Una felt her soul plummeting and sinking into an abyss...

After an unknown amount of time, all sound and light disappeared, and all that could be felt was darkness and cold.

A chill that seemed to freeze one's soul!

Original Sin Purgatory!

Fifteen years later, this world, sealed off by endless frost, finally welcomed its first prisoner.

Chapter 51 The devout shall enter purgatory!

evening.

The sunset painted the sky, turning half of it into a golden expanse.

The lingering dryness in the air has been mostly dispelled by the gentle breeze.

Lorne was on his way back, carrying a set of Dawn Priest's robes.

He has received Declan's permission and can begin formal 'divine magic' training tomorrow.

Dawn Pastor...

Aunt Una would be so happy if she knew!

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips, and even his steps became lighter.

Not long after, he returned to the Third Street of Huixing District.

But in the middle of the street, a large hole had been dug in the lawn by the roadside.

On the makeshift platform, Aarons, accompanied by two Holy Radiance Warriors, was directing several craftsmen to place a holy pillar covered in mysterious runes into it.

His eyes lit up when he saw Lorne.

After whispering a few words to the two Holy Radiance Warriors beside him, he stepped down from the platform and went straight to Lorne.

"I heard you went to see Prince Declan?"

As he said this, he glanced at the divine robe in Lorne's hand.

"Ah."

"The matter of becoming the Dawn Pastor...?"

"Formal divine magic training can begin tomorrow," Lorne said with a smile.

Since we still need to follow this guy's path to get to Aunt Una's matter, we naturally need to act closer to her.

really!

Aarons's expression became even more amiable.

With the official position of Dawn Priest and the high regard of His Highness Declan, it's no exaggeration to say that his future is limitless!

If he hadn't been completely desperate, he would have helped Lorne obtain official resident status.

“Aren’t the sacred pillars supposed to be set up after all these residents have registered? Why are they being moved now…” Lorne asked tentatively.

“Who knows?” Aarons shrugged. “It was a sudden notification from the church.”

It was Bishop Freyr who personally conveyed the message, and he seemed to be in a great hurry.

To be honest, the reason he took on this task was to look after that old man Una while placing the sacred pillar.

pity……

For some reason, that old man actually committed suicide!

Thinking of this, his expression turned somewhat serious, and he feigned hesitation, saying:

There's something... I don't know how to tell you.

"what happened?"

For some reason, a sense of unease crept into Lorne's heart.

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen...

"It's about Aunt Una."

Aarons looked grave and patted him on the shoulder.

"You should go and see for yourself."

If it weren't for Lorne, he wouldn't care about the life or death of someone like Una who wasn't a registered resident.

To die is to die.

But that's just a hypothetical.

With Lorne's current momentum, he might even become a bishop in the future!

Once a gap appears, it will be too late to bridge the gap.

“…” Lorne’s heart sank, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

An overwhelming sense of panic welled up within him, and without saying another word, he strode towards the end of the street.

Aarons wanted to follow.

However, as a level three secret swordsman, Lorne's physical abilities were far superior to those of a level two dawn priest.

So in just a few steps, Lorne's back became a tiny dot in his field of vision.

"..."

What a vulgar Holy Light Warrior!

He cursed inwardly, but still quickened his pace to catch up.

……

……

At the end of the street.

The makeshift shack made of wood and canvas is still there.

Some leaves have fallen on it, as if it has been abandoned by the whole world...

Call ~

Lorne's figure rushed into it like the wind.

There were pots and pans, an oven, and a small round table with half a piece of white bread that they couldn't bear to eat sitting there all alone.

Simple and cramped, yet filled with the old man's entire life.

Looking at the old man lying on the small bed, dressed in a plain white cotton robe, who had lost all trace of life.

Lorne was trembling all over, and his mind was completely blank.

why?

There were clearly more options available, and I had clearly already prepared a way out...

Why……

Why did Aunt Una choose to die?

Lorne stood there blankly until Aarons arrived late, lifted the curtain and walked in, but he didn't react at all.

I glanced at the old man on the bed.

Aarons wanted to say that it was all his arrangement.

The two Holy Radiance Warriors who came with him originally intended to carry Una away and then dismantle the entire shack.

He insisted, insisted on bringing Lorne back so he could see her one last time...

But looking at Lorne's back...

He hesitated for a long time, but still said nothing.
