Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

Such an ordinary girl is not even a little bit inferior to the Sword Saint. As soon as he entered the door, he could tell that the girl in front of him was weak, extremely weak and ordinary.

How could such an "ordinary" person be a person favored by God? It was not disappointing at all. Drus had always been hostile to the new Saint.

After all, he was a member of the Pope's faction, and he was very repulsive to the Sword Saint, let alone a new Saint who came from a remote place, and was an ordinary girl at that.

Thinking of this, Drus's face became even colder.

"Hello... God's Favored One, His Holiness the Pope has learned everything about you, so he sent me to escort you to the Holy City. I hope you can pack your luggage as soon as possible and go to the Holy City, and don't keep His Holiness the Pope waiting for too long."

Drus' attitude was very stiff, and he seemed to not care at all whether the person in front of him was a God-favored person or not. His words were full of urging Kato Megumi to set off as soon as possible to avoid being blamed by the Pope. Not only did Kato Megumi feel uncomfortable, but even Eriri felt very angry.

"Hey...what do you mean? Did we say we were going to the Holy City? You said we were going and we're going...who do you think you are..."

Before Eriri could finish her words, Druss glanced at her with a pair of cold eyes. The chilling aura made people feel like they were dancing on the edge of a knife. Eriri was so frightened that she became speechless.

"This is what His Holiness the Pope meant... The one favored by God has not appeared for a long time. Your appearance now makes His Holiness the Pope very happy. He feels that the temple is still favored by the Earth Mother Goddess, so he sent his subordinates here to welcome you... I hope you will not disappoint His Holiness the Pope."

Even when Druse was explaining, his tone was harsh, which made people feel uncomfortable. It seemed that to him, completing the Pope's mission was the top priority, and everything else was not worth mentioning.

"Humph, you keep calling me Pope. Why should my Hui listen to you?"

Eriri muttered.

However, how could a supernatural being not hear it with his sharp ears and eyes? So, the other party glanced over again with cold eyes, and Eriri, who was still frightened, quickly grabbed Kato Megumi's collar with her claws.

Seeing that Eriri looked frightened, Kato Megumi pinched her paw in amusement, signaling her not to be afraid.

She put away her smile, looked at the white-robed priest in front of her, and then said.

"Eri is right. Why should I listen to you? I didn't say I was going to the Holy City. I didn't promise you to go either. It seems that everything is just your self-righteousness. I refuse to accept this matter..."

Hearing Kato Megumi's answer, Drus suddenly raised his head, and stared directly at Kato Megumi with a pair of dark eyes, his gaze was as cold as a torch.

"This is what His Holiness the Pope wants... As a clergyman of the temple, you cannot refuse..."

"No...I can refuse"

Kato Megumi stared at the other person, completely ignoring the other person's momentum and threats.

“You’ve said before that I’m not a saint. Since I’m not a saint, I naturally have nothing to do with the temple, and I’m naturally not a member of the temple. Therefore, the Pope’s orders have nothing to do with me, and they have no effect on me…”

"But you are a person favored by God..."

"Yes, I am the one favored by God..."

Kato Megumi withdrew her gaze and looked indifferent.

"But what does this have to do with the temple... I am a person favored by the gods, but I am not a member of the temple. I accept the guidance and mission given to me by the gods, not the mission given to me by the temple..."

Kato Megumi suddenly smiled.

"So, I am a person favored by God. What does that have to do with the temple?"

Following this impolite answer, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird.

Everyone was silent, and Drus stared at Kato Megumi with sharp eyes. His dark pupils seemed to have no warmth at all. The aura around him was cold and biting, forming a sharp contrast with the white clothes on his body. Anyone could see that the priest from the Holy City was very angry.

There was an invisible aura that gradually permeated the air and slowly pressed towards the direction where Kato Megumi was.

The invisible and intangible nothingness was like waves coming over, the pressure gradually increased, the surrounding environment suddenly became dim, even Klina beside her felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Finally...Krina stood up.

"Your Majesty... Priest Drus just used inappropriate words. I hope you can..."

Klina suddenly stepped forward and spoke up, trying to stop the confrontation between the two and ease the current atmosphere.

Then, before she could finish her words, an invisible aura with a sharp blade suddenly attacked her, like a lion whose sleep was disturbed and suddenly disturbed by external objects, so it suddenly jumped up and wanted to tear into pieces the prey that disturbed its peace.

Klina only felt a chill all over her body and a palpitation in her heart. Her intuition told her that if she was touched by this aura, she would be seriously injured, if nothing else. So subconsciously, she put her hand on the hilt of the knife at her waist, wanting to draw the knife to resist this aura.

Drus naturally saw her subconscious behavior, but he didn't care because he knew that the other party couldn't resist his attack at all. Moreover, when a judge knight raised his sword and swung it at a priest with a higher status than her, no matter what he did, the future of this knight was doomed, even if it was just a subconscious action.

Klina seemed to have thought of this as well, so she stopped drawing her knife abruptly, and her face turned pale and weak, as if the outcome had already been determined, and she had to accept the other party's intimidation.

However, a delicate and fair little hand suddenly pulled her back a step, and at the same time a familiar figure stood in front of her. Before Klina could react, she saw that the tiger-like aura seemed to have its claws plucked out, without causing the slightest fluctuation.

It seemed as if this attack did not cause any harm to the owner of the figure. It was just the kitten playing around, nothing serious.

And this figure was none other than Kato Megumi... Seeing Krina being attacked, she subconsciously stood up. Of course, this did not mean that she was brave but reckless, but that she made such a decision because she knew that the other party could not hurt her at all.

Obviously this decision was the right one.

The attack, which was meant to show one's power, disappeared in silence, making Druse's behavior suddenly seem funny and ridiculous.

Kato Megumi looked back at Krina, who was still in shock, and smiled at her reassuringly. Then she turned to look at Drus, her smile disappeared in an instant, and she turned stern.

"What do you mean by this... When did the Temple learn to bully the weak... Don't you feel ashamed to attack a clergyman who is weaker than you..."

Kato Megumi didn't expect that there would be such a person in the temple who would attack others without saying a word, not to mention that this person was a friend she knew. This made her very angry.

Then Drus just glanced coldly at Klina behind him and said calmly.

"In the temple, a mere trial knight has no right to interrupt the white-robed priest, and in this case..."

Drus snorted softly and looked at Kato Megumi with obscure eyes, as if he had never expected that she could actually block his attack. It seemed that the girl in front of him was not as ordinary as he had imagined. Some of Dilock's guesses seemed to be correct, and the other party seemed to have some strange props.

But even so, Druss still didn't take a serious look at the other party. After all, even if he blocked it, what would it matter? It was nothing more than the power of those props and was not worth mentioning.

As a person favored by God, you still need to rely on props to face attacks from others. This is simply an insult to the vision of the Mother Earth.

"I am representing the Pope's orders. In this case, any obstruction can be regarded as a violation of the Pope's orders... In this case, there is nothing wrong with giving her a small lesson... Especially for a knight from a branch temple."

Drus' words were not polite at all. He directly stepped on Clina's face and did not take Kato Megumi seriously.

The hand he was holding suddenly tightened, and Kato Hui could clearly feel what Clina was feeling behind him, but he did not turn around and continued to look at Drus.

"This white priest... although I know that you are of noble status and quite capable, this does not mean you can act recklessly. Klina has actually been assigned to be my bodyguard and is already mine."

Kato Megumi squeezed Krina's palm comfortingly.

"She is not your subordinate, but my friend. I don't want someone as arrogant as you to hurt my friend. Are you being disrespectful to the God's favored one?"

Drus frowned, as if he didn't expect the person in front of him to think this way.

"I didn't expect that Dilock would let such a weak knight be your guard. I believe you need the protection of the Holy City, not a knight who was demoted to a branch temple because of his wrongdoings... I think you need a truly powerful guard."

"Besides... even if she has become your guard, she is still a clergyman of the temple. The offense to the white-robed priest is irreparable. After all, you are not a saint now..."

Drus narrated calmly. Kato Hui could clearly feel that Klina's hands were shaking, but she didn't turn around, so she couldn't see her expression...

But it was obvious from what Drus said that Klina came here for a reason, but Kato Hui was not curious about it, and did not want to have any confrontation with the white priest in front of her...

Kato Megumi suddenly smiled.

"I am indeed not a saint...but what does it matter to me whether I am a saint or not..."

Druce frowned, obviously not understanding what the other party meant.

"I think you don't seem to understand the cause and effect relationship. Whether I am a saint or not does not affect my being a person favored by God. It is because I am a person favored by God that I can become a saint..."

"The Saint is a right granted by the Temple to those favored by the Gods, and serves as a role model for the Temple... But... this does not mean that I must have the rights granted by the Temple..."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 90 Chapter The Watchful Eyes of the "Gods"

"I... Kato Megumi... the one favored by the gods... I am the agent of the gods in the human world, and I follow the instructions of the merciful Mother Earth."

"According to the Holy Scriptures... God's oracle is above all else. I possess the greatest power in the Temple... Whether you agree or not..."

Kato Megumi put her index finger on her cheek and blinked in a questioning manner.

"Even the so-called Pope in your words has to listen to my orders and carry out the oracle under special circumstances... Isn't that right? Or do you not want to recognize me as a person favored by God... or... do you not want to recognize the oracle of the god you worship..."

"Perhaps, there will be the first person in the world who is separated from the Temple and has nothing to do with the Temple..."

"presumptuous!"

Druss asked subconsciously, but before he could do anything, a majestic and irresistible pressure suddenly descended upon him. Druss was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Such momentum, such irresistible powerful aura... Drus' pupils widened, looking a little unbelievable.

Could it be that the girl in front of him was really one favored by the gods... Could it be that the gods had been watching her... was that why he was warned?

Thinking of this, Druss felt cold sweat pouring down his face and his heart suddenly turned cold.

In a sense, what the girl said was absolutely correct. The God-favored One was originally the spokesperson of God. Thousands of years ago, he did have the power to look down on the Pope. The other party's orders were the orders of God. Under special circumstances... The God-favored One could even command everything in the temple...

This is clearly recorded in the scriptures...

However, thousands of years later, the power of the temple has changed and is no longer as simple and clear as stated in the scriptures.

Could it be that it was because of the temple's condition that the gods sent their favored ones to warn them? Or even to cleanse the temple?

Thinking of this... Drus felt a chill in his heart, as if he had discovered something hidden deep inside...

Kato Megumi didn't know that Drus was thinking further and further, and his imagination was out of control. Looking at Drus in front of him who was not subdued by the pressure, Kato Megumi felt anxious.

“Miss Witch, can you increase your strength a little more? If we wait until the other party reacts, it will be ineffective…”

It turned out that this so-called power was actually simulated by Patchouli with the help of the divine power in Kato Megumi's body. In addition, since she had previously analyzed the divine power that attacked from across space, Patchouli was familiar with it this time, so she used the divine power in Kato Megumi's body to intimidate the opponent.

Although this may lead to mental and physical weakness, no matter what, if you can make the people in front of you feel awe, then you will be a success.

"Don't worry... Let me take a look... Here and here, these two points seem to resonate with the other party's beliefs. I should be able to use the other party's identity as a believer..."

The little figure Patchouli flew back and forth, constantly fiddling with the divine power. No one knew what the other party suddenly fiddled with, and a more powerful momentum burst out from Kato Megumi's body and went towards Drus.

Before the other party could react, he felt a blackout in his mind and then fainted.

"Well... you're lucky. The person in front of you is a believer. He seems to have misunderstood this pressure as the gaze of the gods, so he didn't resist. Otherwise, he would have been found to be bluffing long ago."

"Ah... Miss Witch, what you mean... is that... that is to say... God can still watch over the human world at any time?"

What if I get discovered...

"I know what you're worried about... But don't worry, the gods have no interest in watching you ants. This world seems to be forming its own system, and the interference from the outside world is being weakened step by step, so don't worry..."

“Is that so… Then I feel relieved.”

Kato Megumi felt relieved.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have gotten into trouble with this guy..."

Although his identity as a person favored by God is real, it is not actually calculated that way.

To make an analogy, it is like an airborne prince and the local duke. Although the prince has a noble status, he has no power. The duke is powerful but has no righteousness. When faced with the prince's orders, he can ignore them, turn a blind eye, or be perfunctory. After all, the emperor is far away and the king cannot take care of things so far away.

And Kato Megumi's action just now was equivalent to bringing up the king, letting the Duke know that the king was watching this side and was just taking advantage of the power of the other side.

"Well... I'm not really helping you. I'm also very interested in studying divine power. This time, I was able to analyze some of the rules of divine power... This is a fair trade."

Kato Megumi smiled.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you..."

After thanking Patchouli for a while, Kato Megumi then fell into a daze, looking at the priest lying unconscious on the ground in front of her, she took a deep breath, why is it so difficult to calm down...

But Yinglili had already jumped to the ground and was circling around the sacrifice, barking with her claws from time to time, as if she was thinking about how to retaliate.

Should I scratch his face? Or tear his underwear?

Cat life entanglement...

However, before she could take action, a pair of hands picked her up.

"Okay, stop it. If we really anger this guy, neither you nor I will have a good ending..."

The strong all have self-respect. If he was knocked unconscious by her, he could say it was all because of the Earth Mother and that he spoke without thinking. But if he made him lose face because of himself, although he would not say anything, he would definitely hate him in his heart, and then there was no guarantee that he would not do something behind his back.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Although the other party is hostile to you, at least it is not a deep hatred. Once Eriri offends the other party, things will not be so easy to solve.

"Well... this guy is really cheap"

Ying Lili also knew the consequences, so she could only curl her lips, a little dissatisfied.

"Klina... Next, I'll have to trouble you to find someone to send the priest back to the temple..."

"Oh...oh, Your Majesty, I understand."

Krina was obviously still in a daze and didn't react for a while. When she heard Kato Megumi's voice, she quickly responded.

She didn't feel any so-called sense of oppression from beginning to end, because Kato Megumi's attack was not aimed at her. She saw that Drus, who was so powerful just now, was suddenly knocked unconscious by the pressure.
