Chapter 39: The second holy relic (2)
The archbishop led us into the church without anyone impeding us.
With the status that the archbishop had, it wasn’t as if anyone would actually try to stop him.
Though once we were in the church, there was someone that did stop us.
"I knew that you would try to one up us like this. Bringing the hero to the church first without even coming to see us."
I could see that faint smiles appeared on the faces of the group from the church when they heard this.
I also revealed a faint smile when I looked in the direction that the voice came from.
The voice wasn’t one that I recognized, but the face of the person that this voice belonged to was one that I recognized. After all, this was a face that was famous when this world was still a game.
The person who spoke ignored the archbishop and the rest of the church group. Instead, he walked over while looking at me.
The way that he looked at me was as if he was very interested in me, but I could also see that there was a trace of disappointment.
When he was done walking over, he said, "I am the king of this Abel Kingdom, Abel XIV."
I was surprised by the formal way that he introduced himself since there had been that trace of disappointment in his eyes, but I similarly gave a formal response. With a bow, I said, "Greetings your majesty. It is my honour to meet the king of the Abel Kingdom as one of your lowly subjects."
