The Three In One Transmigration
#8 - Three Grand Cleric Plans
Three weeks after the escape of Slatanis from the great temple at Alundris, the three Grand Clerics near the city of Alundris met at the great Temple at Alundris. Hezekiah the Grand Cleric the trading city of Alundris, Drusilla the Grand Cleric the woman of the port city of Fishsyre and Hosea the youngest Grand Cleric of the city of nobles, Joundr.
In a room where Hezekiah pondered and worked on all the documents, the three of them sat on a soft and comfortable long chair accompanied by green tea.
“The woman,”ucap Drusilla, holds a cup close to her lips. “Is he that strong? If he was that strong, and ... was that evil and dangerous, as recorded in the document, he could have deleted all the paladins that were there, that time.”
Hezekiah leaned comfortably on his old body, and only glanced at Drusilla with a look of wonder. “You ... you really don't read it huh?”
“Of course I read it, just ...” Drusilla turned to the window, looking out at the courtyard of the great temple as she put her tea back on the table in front of her. “Only, I do not understand, why the paladins stopped chasing him and just fixated on seeing him fly and run.”
“They saw something, didn't they?” hosea asked while holding a thick book. “But you, the Holy Hezekiah, did not record it. Being old and forgetful is sometimes a bit problematic.”
“Hm,” Hezekiah sighed with his heavy breath. “I didn't note it because I want to talk about it directly to you, while still keeping the thing discussed a secret ... or at least a public secret.”
“Dan .. it was not only witnessed by the paladins, but also by the public. Incredibly,”ucap Hosea was flattering, but his tone sounded like it was satirical.
“So ... what have paladins and the public seen it?” drusilla asked, tilting her head.
“He took out wide golden wings, and ..”ucap Hezekiah came to a halt while lifting his tea from the table, then started sipping it.
“Dan?” drusilla asked, squinting her eyes.
“And at that time all the paladins and some witches, even me who was inside the altar of the temple was praying, were praying, can feel the overflow of sacred elements that are so concentrated and soothing from the woman,”ucap Hezekiah while putting back a cup of tea.
“Gold wings and overflow of sacred elements, huh? Hmmm, so indirectly you want to tell us that he has the ability like the first prophet 1200 years ago?” hosea then began to open the book.
“Are you really watching it? Because it could have been an overflow of sacred elements that came from the paladins, let alone considering how many they were back then.”
“In alundris itself we do have 1200 paladins, but currently most of them are being scattered throughout the central continent to undergo the task of eradicating monsters and daemons,”ucap Hezekiah and start standing, he said, then walk and stand near and facing the window. “And when the overflow happened, I ran out. So if you ask me if I see it, yes of course I see it. I even saw a shimmering golden trail come out of his wings as he flew.”
“This is it,”ucap Hosea while pointing to a page on the tome. “Let me quote, “dia is the first and the commendable of her deeds, she is the messenger. The name is beautiful, yet light. The whole language can say his name, he is Marith. From him are the glittering golden wings, and it is from his miracles that he can call My soldiers down to the world to help him.” Book of Hamrelith part 48, book number 2.”
“Thank you holy Hosea, you have read it beautifully,”ucap Hezekiah turned his head and smiled towards Hosea. “As spoken by Him in the book of Hamrelith, it seems that it really belongs to Marith.”
“Wait wait wait, if it's true that he has those wings, does that mean he's his messenger too? What about the Prophetess now? And what about the public opinion on all this? What if they find out that we have imprisoned a messenger?”drusilla continued to ask in haste.
“Hei hey hey, calm down the holy Drusilla,”ucap Hosea looked seriously at Drusilla, then turned his head towards Hezekiah. “Before that, what about the prophetic symbol on its nape?”
“We have not checked it,”ucap Hezekiah back walking and sitting in his long chair. “Therefore I invite you here to ask for your help.”
Tok tok!
The door's knocking.
“Come in brother Fretlen,”ucap Hezekiah, and the door opens.
“Greetings O holy ones,”ucap Fretlen while kneeling before them.
“Salam,”ucap third Grand Cleric almost simultaneously.
“Please allow me,”ucap Fretlen and start telling.
***********
After Slatanis escaped from the templar siege, Fretlen was relieved. He felt relieved because he knew very well what he had just done, and quickly drove the situation so as not to get worse.
When Fretlen beheaded Rafos, he saw Slatanis descend from the sky unbeknownst to him with golden wings that expand and cover the corpse of rafos. Then at that moment Fretlen became aware of the scene, it was the wing of the marith that he read over and over again his story in the book of Hamrelith.
When he saw the incident he immediately ordered the templars to cover the crowd quietly so that the residents behind them did not see it. Then when Slatanis removed his wings, Fretlen stretched the line back.
Fretlen was confused as to what to do, when he looked back he saw a crowd of curious residents whispering about golden wings falling from the sky. From there he also had the idea to drive things by making Slatanis look like a villain. He continued to provoke him until Slatanis killed one of the templars.
It was all done for the sake of maintaining the good impression of the servant in the great temple, he did not want the names of the temple officials to be so dirty if they knew that there was someone who had one of Marith's abilities while they locked up and tried to kill him. Coupled with a circular leaflet about the face of Slatanis that has been spread as a monster that is being sought by the temple, then the risk will also be even higher if he did not do so.
Then after his attempt, Slatanis suddenly flew back with his golden wings, and so the inhabitants saw clearly what was happening.
After the incident, the temple tried to cover up the incident, and a week later, rumors about golden wings disappeared. Not until there, as the temple tried to cover up the gossip, the templar order was assigned to hunt down more pagans and interrogate them.
Of the few captured, a pagan who had been tortured all night finally answered all of them. He told the temple that the creature called by the pagans in the cave was a super-powerful entity which they called the bearer of Calamity (catastrophe). After explaining everything, the interrogators asked him about Marith's abilities, but he answered honestly that he knew nothing about the marith. One thing he knew for sure was only about the bearer of calamity.
“And from there came the conclusion, that the pagans in the cave at that time aimed to summon creatures that could bring or at least ask to be brought calamity to the world, to the world, regardless of who and what the entity is, as long as they are able to use the power of that entity to destroy us, they will
The three grand clerics fell silent after hearing Fretlen's explanation.
“.... He always spoke politely and gently to anyone, even his enemies. Except for those of the Alkites. Their bodies were large and tall, and their attitudes were arrogant and haughty. They claim to be gods, while they need to eat and sleep. The Creator said to Marith; ask for disaster and destruction, and I will give them (the Alkites). And on that day, Marith prayed to Him and Alk disappeared from Rhea forever,”ucap Hosea while reading Hamrelith in his hand.
Everything was silent, and silent for a moment.
“This is what worries me,”ucap Hezekiah, and starts to bend while holding his chin with his hand. “The pagans managed to call the reincarnation marith, or more frightening than that, he was truly the messenger of the Creator.”
“Is this doom to us?” drusilla asked with a look of fear and worry.
“Don't worry, because the pagans who called him have failed to control him. Which means, the woman currently does not have a master,”ucap Fretlen.
“So what do you want to suggest, brother?” drusilla looked at Fretlen.
“We make him be on our side, or plant slave magic on him if necessary,”ucap Fretlen stares seriously into the void.
“If we do not succeed .. or. or .. or the pagans manage to catch him first, then what?” ask Drusilla back.
“We will kill him,”ucap Hezekiah, staring at Hosea and Drusilla. “And it is for this reason that you are here now.”
