2nd Round Villain

153 – Evans – 2

what.

am i looking at it wrong? As I wondered, I quickly rubbed my eyes. Unfortunately, the reality in front of us remains the same.

damn, why What. What happened?

“uh? Evans, look at the author of this book!”

“what… .”

“You have the same name as Evans! wow… How amazing.”

Maria giggled, pointing to a section of the book with her white finger. I can’t laugh at all, I’m completely frozen.

Fortunately, Maria didn’t notice my condition. My paralyzed body began to loosen little by little.

It’s not just one or two odd parts.

First, I had been suspicious of it before, but the sleep magic in this book. I, who is resistant to most magic, was helplessly attacked. Even if you weren’t on your guard.

Besides, the body just stiffened. Is it paralysis-type magic? Anyway, this too was irresistible.

Well, let’s assume that it can only go so far. Assume that I was caught off guard for a moment and caught two spells in a row.

How could ‘only me’ be enchanted except for Maria?

This is a case where magic was built into the book. It’s kind of like a trap trap. A type of magic that was prepared for the person who opened the book.

But how can I avoid Maria and only get enchanted? Wasn’t I closer to the book?

The extremely desperate wizard walked. At least 8 circles. maybe even more

It’s not just those two that are strange.

‘Evans’.

why is my name here

It may be the same person. But Evans is not a common name. That’s why I used the pseudonym Evans in my previous life.

But, there is one more besides me. The very famous ‘Evans’.

It’s been 500 years since I thought of this person.

Time Traveler Evans.

A wizard who studied the time of the ancient continent.

A unique time traveler from all over the world.

Giinisa left his mark in each era by traveling back and forth between the past thousands of years ago and the future where civilization was extremely developed.

Even the gods who have lived through the supreme years do not know his identity, and he is a human who often leaves bizarre books under the name of writer Evans.

I read his book 500 years ago. It was a book titled ‘Flower that eats time’.

contents is… It dealt with regression and time travel. I still remember it clearly.

So, was this book also written by Evans? There is only one pseudonym I know of, Evans, so that’s probably it.

Then why did Evans write such a book? While preparing the magic to target me?

… .

Like a human being piled up in mystery, it is full of bizarre parts. Should this person also be investigated?

or not… perhaps.

Umm… .

“Evans? What are you thinking so hard about?”

I guess my thoughts have been too long. Maria asked a question in a questioning voice.

“thought? What do you think?”

“When I told you that the author of the book was also Evans, you suddenly stopped talking. I was wondering if there was a problem… .”

“Ugh, no. Come on, let’s read a book quickly.”

I can’t leave Maria alone. I opened the first chapter of the book again.

At the same time, an invisible net was spread. To find out if there is another hidden magic in this book. Of course Maria didn’t know.

Ugh-.

there’s nothing to feel In other words, this book is now just an honest book. You can read it at will.

Maria didn’t make much progress while I was asleep. Did you start looking at me as soon as I fell asleep? It means that you have a lot of interest in me, so it feels good.

True to its title ＜The History and Paradox of the Holy Order＞, the first page of the book begins with the contents of the Order.

『Divine Church. Despite being a denomination, it is a supreme group that has independently established a nation and is operating a holy nation centered on the Pope and Holy Emperor.”

『How much do you who read this book know about the Divine Church? Or, with what kind of perception do you view the denomination? A place full of corrupt priests? A good and clean place where donations and volunteering are mainly done?』

『Any time, it is not my business. What I will write next is the ＜History＞ of the Divine Church. The history of the church, starting from ancient times. Do you know about this?』

『First of all, when does the history of the denomination begin? We need to define it precisely so that we can discuss ＜history＞ with certainty.

Evans This man, his handwriting is still the same. If you’ve lived that long, your handwriting might change easily.

Before she knew it, Maria was completely immersed in the book, her eyes shining brightly. Perhaps because the magic was used once, I am no longer sleepy.

『What are the conditions of the church? many believers? A building as dazzling as Seonghwangcheong? Powerful Paladins? Do they need to exist to be called a church?”

『No, no matter what you associate with it, if it falls under the examples listed above, it is all wrong. The condition of the church is none other than ＜faith＞. Whether it was a handful or a armful. A denomination is born, originates, and prospers in ＜faith＞.

『Then, who is the first member of the Holy Church? The Messiah who came down to the continent and attempted salvation? The first saintess to demonstrate far-off divine power? The first pope to stay by his side and assist him even when the Messiah was crucified?”

“Everyone is wrong. The first member of the Divine Church is ＜God＞. ＜Jinju＞ was a being with full faith in himself.』

『The vast universe. A time of chaos, when there was no life, no mortals, no good and no evil. A world where there was no land, no sky, no rivers, no sea. At that time, only two existed in such a world.”

『The only ＜collective＞ in the chaos that has no front, back, top, or bottom, now called the ＜Shrine＞. And, at that time, the ＜universe＞, ＜beginning＞, and ＜chaos＞.』

『＜The Lord God＞ was his own follower, priest, pope, saint, paladin, and messiah. He was an existence that embodied faith in itself, and was a unique ＜self＞ in the chaos where light and darkness were united.

『In other words, the history of the Holy Church began before ＜Genesis＞, when the continent was created. Because the ＜God＞ has existed since that time.』

When she had read that part, Maria paused for a moment. Then he took a deep breath. Her breathing was a little rough.

“what’s the matter? Aren’t books interesting?”

“No, rather… It’s so exciting. That’s why I wonder if this book was written with incorrect information.”

“This book? What is exciting?”

“this… I’ve never seen the content before. The first time you mentioned the Lord, and then you talked about the situation before Genesis… .”

“Have you never heard of it?”

“Yes, no matter where I look in the Bible, it just says, ‘In the beginning there was a Lord, and He created the continents.’ The previous one comes out like this… I didn’t see it.”

“I see. I don’t know the education of the Seongguk, so I have nothing to say.”

Maria shows interest and immerses herself in the book again. However, what followed was very different from what she had imagined.

『Gregorio, the 17th pope of the church, had a tryst with two women in his first year, but once sent a letter to the two women by mistake and was rejected by both of them. Afterwards, one of the women forgave Gregory I and continued their tryst, but their relationship was not as good as before.”

『Priest Hans had an illegitimate son. He hid and raised his illegitimate son, but eventually realized that he was in power and had a child. But he didn’t know. That the illegitimate child she had abandoned at that time would one day return as a saint of the church. That saintess is Saint Ephelasse.”

『Beatrice Constantino, who is considered the most powerful paladin in history by killing two absolute strongmen. After killing her father, the Pope, she escapes to the Demon World. Four years after that, Beatrice Constantino ran into a group of demons called Oscar Lucifer. That’s how they became like that.”

Pallang-.

“Hmm… There is no more. I wanted to read more about the Chaotic Age and the Lord described in the pasture.”

Because the content of the book is completely different. If you are dealing with history, shouldn’t you be dealing with war history and political change or something like that?

Why are we suddenly dealing with the shameful (promiscuous) private lives of church members in history? It’s not just for a moment, it’s all over the book.

No, but why is my real name and Beatrice mentioned? How does Evans know what happened 400 years ago?

That’s how they became like that. Beatrice and I are just a normal master-servant relationship, what are you talking about?

Also, Evans is a freak. The last time I read ＜Time Eating Flowers＞ was like that too.

“I wanted to read the story before Genesis even if I could imagine it, but it’s a pity. It’s just this floating cloud.”

“ha ha ha! How do you feel?”

“I think I know the feelings of those who have been scammed. Of course, they must be much more miserable and unfair than I am right now, right?”

Is it because expectations were betrayed? Maria let out a low voice. Her gaze was down.

Write, I don’t want to see our Maria downcast. I want to experience only the most beautiful things. Like a parent with a daughter.

“Maria, by any chance.”

“yes.”

“Do you really want to know the story of those days? If you want, I can unravel the bundle of stories. Would you like to listen?”

“yes… ?”
