Not a Romance Novel in the Holy Temple

4

Without waiting for the worship hall to be empty by the worshippers, me and the servants immediately left the place. Although they were called servants, they were actually priests. Of course the 'servant' of a saint would not be an ordinary person. They also have holy power, certainly not as blessed as mine. They also hold a very important position in the Holy Temple, of course with me as the boss.

Some servants who did not bring me the harp went with me to my residence. I'm still not used to this place. I am the ruler of this place. So, I thought it was natural that my residence was located in a deep and secluded corner, in other words more private, and it was only natural that I would still sometimes get lost. Actually, to identify my residence is easy; my residence is on the top floor and there is only mine. Moreover, only people with my permission can set foot there, making my residence the loneliest place in the Holy Temple. Even so, there were too many passageways on its lower floors and more forests than buildings in the area of the Sacred Temple. Sometimes it makes me have trouble finding stairs. Plus, the area of the Sacred Temple was extremely vast. Not as big as the city, but I think as big as one subdistrict. Seriously, I am not exaggerating at all.

In this world, magic exists. However, what made me feel ridiculous was why did magic like flying magic not exist at all?! Isn't in most movies and novels, flying magic is always told as the most basic magic? I had to climb over four hundred steps with my feet, by the way! However, it's okay. I can't bear to tell them to carry me up and I don't want to be carried, all in sports.

Along the way, none of us spoke. I don't want to talk to them myself. I am busy setting a new record. Last time, I was able to climb a hundred steps without rest and now, I have passed the 110th step! Without rest!

"Stop," I said. Too bad I'm exhausted after the 113th rung. I just sat down on the stairs, not worrying about my clothes getting dirty. Fortunately, magic to clean dirt instantly exists.

I looked at the servants in front of me. Oh, look at them! They have an incredible pair of legs. My legs feel like gelatin, while they are still standing tall! They then looked back at me, with a closed smile on their faces. I reply them with just a look. I wanted to smile back at them, but I couldn't. Not because I was more concerned about my status as a saint or what, but, again, something controlled my expression. I think this is related to the personality of His Majesty Aeris. I am not at all someone who smiles expensive, even though I am a person who does not socialize much.

Not knowing how long I had been sitting, I finally stood up. Before continuing on, I cast a spell to clean up all the dirt stuck to my clothes instantly. Then I gave a look that implied 'i'm going up the stairs' to one of the maids.

The view along the stairs is beautiful. My right and left are full of trees. A few twigs with dense foliage stuck out at each other as if forming a natural ceiling. It has not yet entered autumn, so I am not showered by the leaves dramatically. Too bad I can't capture this very beautiful sighting .... How nice it would be if I could get a painting of myself standing in the middle of this moment ....

Finally, I reached my home. As usual, I just left the servants without saying goodbye or thank you. Rude? Yes ... if it were not for my expression being controlled by something I do not know this ....

As soon as the door was closed, I instantly degraded myself on the floor. My legs are sore, ah! By the way, I still need a few hundred more steps to get to my room. Seriously, I need someone to hold me ....

Maybe I sound excessive, but you should know that I have absolutely no exercise habits and it seems like Aeris's stamina is following my original stamina. Logically, Aeris shouldn't get tired easily like this, unless she's also the type of character who prefers to stay in the room and read novels like me ....

I'm a fucking fat shit ....

Anyway, I still have to walk on my own.

The architecture of this hallway is like a medieval European castle hallway in general. Despite being bright by the lighting from these torches that would never be extinguished, I still could not help but feel afraid. If the one now walking was the one I used to be, of course I would run as fast as possible looking for a way out while crying. However, of course I am now walking boldly, because, yes, again for the same reason that I cannot control my expression.

Along the hallway is covered with murals and reliefs. I don't know who made all this and told me about anything, but it seems to be about life in the upper realms, the lower realms, and the heyday of some saints. However, the walls and ceilings along the passage seemed to be dominated by the stories of earlier saints. I saw countless reliefs and murals depicting a human stabbing a demon-like creature with a sword shrouded in light. It was as if a loop, a pierced creature was always the same, only the human who pierced it was different. I think this has something to do with the duty of the saint who overcame the darkness, perhaps?

I also saw a wall full of creepy paintings and the theme of darkness, seeming to tell the underworld. Then the last one was a wall that seemed to tell the upper realms because I only saw emptiness. I can't believe this wall tells me anything. So, I assume that this wall depicts nature above. In the novel, the world is told to have only one god. If analyzed using science fitlogi, 'nature of the gods', 'top nature', or 'nature of heaven' in this world is a realm that is very quiet, so it seems 'empty' because there's only him there. Really forced? His name is also suitable. However, apart from that, I also have not seen the reliefs or murals along this hallway that if describing the typical nature of the top-full beauty, flower garden, and so on.

One thing for sure is that all of this is made wonderfully slick.
