There Are Too Many Background Settings in the Possessed Novel

Girls under the moonlight (3)

“What a strange thing! There are people who look like this!”

As if not understanding, Elina tilted her head as she straightened the short blue cape that was draped over her shoulder.

It was too similar to be a coincidence.

Elina wasn’t the only one who was flustered.

“…I was shocked.”

The girl with the slave seal on the back of her hand also did not know how to close her open mouth in surprise.

It was Elina who came to her senses first.

“First, look at the condition. You look very thin.”

She said while examining the condition of the slave girl.

The slave girl, who resembled her like a mirror, trembled at the touch of Elina’s hand.

As if the human touch is scary.

“Don’t worry. I am not harming you.”

Elina’s smile felt bright and warm as if it would make the darkness of the night recede.

Even I couldn’t take my eyes off that smile for a moment.

“The condition is not that good. I don’t think I’ve been properly nourished, and I’ve been beaten badly. … What’s your name?”

“Elin…”

Elin…? Her name was something… similar to Elina.

However, the name Elin was a name I had never seen before, even in the novels, including the background setting.

“Ellin. Wow, even the name is similar to mine. It’s a pretty name. My name is Elina!”

As expected, Elina was the first person she met.

Then who is that girl named Elin?

“This way…”

Elina came closer to me and looked at Nias, who was clinging to me.

“Oh, this person…”

I lightly slapped Nias’s mouth as she tried to say something with a bright smile.

Nias covered her beaten mouth and protested with an expression of regret.

“I’ve said it before, but you don’t need to know yet.”

“yet?”

I nodded and shut my mouth.

At least until it was clear what had happened, I had no intention of revealing my name.

Elina looked at me suspiciously, then turned her eyes to Elin again.

“Wait.”

She smiled softly and put her hand on Elin’s shoulder.

“Nefnam, my father. That holy grace…”

As she gently closed her eyes and recited a prayer in a solemn voice, holy light scattered from her hands and filled the alley.

Then Elin’s pale complexion began to improve little by little.

The freshly stamped slave seal remaining on the back of Elin’s hand also slowly faded.

“It’s like twins.”

Nias looked at the two of them and whispered to me in a low voice.

“Twins…?”

I remembered the development of the novel and the setting behind it.

At the age of 14, Elina met the main character on her way to the academy when she saved Elina from an attack by numerous monsters.

Since then, throughout the main story, Elina’s past doesn’t get much attention in the main story.

Like an academy, it’s because he’s busy taking exams and hunting monsters.

On the other hand, if you include the story behind the setting, you can infer her past to some extent.

Before the age of 14, Elina had already become a paladin of Neftam and infiltrated the church.

In fact, it’s a little too much to call it an infiltration, the evil god Yuan’s church had almost no power due to the constant rejection and hunting of the churches that believed in the good god.

It would be okay to think that Elina was actually entrusted to the Church of Neftam.

‘Wait…but how did he become a paladin of Neftam?’

The paladin of Neftam, the god of light, warrior, and victory, also means a knight who fights on behalf of a god, but there is one more important meaning than that.

Paladins are candidates to become saints or saints of the next generation.

It is to act as a Holy Knight who follows the will of God, accumulate merit, and prove his faith in God.

In order to become a paladin of Neftam for the first time, many tests are required to prove one’s innate goodness.

As a saint of evil spirits, there was no way she could have passed such a test.

‘There was no explanation about that part.’

Is it a hole in the novel’s setting?

Or if it’s just that I didn’t write it down…

While I was contemplating, the holy light that radiated from Elina’s hand slowly faded.

“That’s enough.”

Elina’s voice, which seemed to spread warmth softly, resonated in the dark alley.

Elin’s pale complexion was much better than before. The wound on the back of his hand was also completely gone. Now, the only way to tell them apart was their contrasting facial expressions and behavior.

“thank you…”

Elina smiled at Ellin, who spoke shyly.

“Well then…where is the house? I’ll take you there if possible. If it’s too far away, the adults in the temple will help.”

Elin’s face twisted at Elina’s question.

Resentment, hatred, and sadness were expressed openly on Elin’s face.

“I don’t have a house… All… these people.”

Elin pointed to the slave traders lying on the floor.

“Oh, sorry. without thinking.”

Upon hearing Ellin’s words, Elina’s eyes were filled with sincere concern and apologetic feelings.

There was a momentary trembling of embarrassment and guilt in her voice.

it’s also weird

From Elina’s attitude like that, I couldn’t feel hypocritical at all.

Then, is Elina’s tendency to hypocrisy something that awakens later?

‘No, wait… can’t it be…?’

When I remembered something, I realized with a feeling that my head was clearing up.

‘…Is that how it happened!’

Elina’s setting was quite fragmented.

The setting that Yuan’s sexual intercourse, which had been reduced to the point of being reduced due to continuous oppression, suffered a fatal blow and became extremely small due to a certain armed force, not the religion of the good god.

Recalling it revealed all the answers.

‘The armed forces were slave traders. The slave traders kidnapped the saintess of Yuan.’

I don’t know if they kidnapped them knowing that they were saints or not.

And the reason why the saintess of Yuan was able to become a paladin of Neftam was finally revealed here.

‘Today was really the day Elina died.’

On this day, Elin kills Elina. No, even if it wasn’t such an extreme story, there were many possibilities for the reason for Elina’s death. It is that Elina may have died in an accident of some kind.

However, this speculation will be closer to the truth. After confirming that her and Elina’s appearances are the same, Elin visits Neftam’s temple pretending to be Elina.

Since Elin had no doctrine or faith in Neftam, she might have pretended to be badly hurt by those slave traders.

If I had pretended to have lost my memory in shock, I would have been fooled.

There was no possibility that Elina’s death would be any day other than today.

Even once, if Elina and Ellin appeared at the temple of Neftam at the same time, there was no way the priests would not notice when they changed afterwards.

“Alright, but for now, go to the temple with me. I will feed and entertain you. After that, let’s discuss what to do together!”

At Elina’s suggestion, Ellin hesitated and then nodded.

I saw.

The light of evil anguish passed across Elin’s face.

“We’ll just go. Thank you for your help. If we ever meet next time, I hope we can hear your name.”

Elina bowed slightly to me, then took Ellin’s hand and walked out of the alleyway.

If the two of them were left alone like this, Elina would be dead.

‘I said root.’

The writer said that this is the route to the setting.

I mean, there was another storyline.

What these two and I meet. And the mixed destinies of these two will be tied together with a certain series of processes to obtain the strongest weapon.

The survival of a girl named Elina could be a major issue.

“Hey, wait!”

At my call, Elina and Ellin turned their heads at the same time.

“…?”

It was so enchanting that I couldn’t take my eyes off the two beautiful girls who looked alike, looking back at the brilliant moonlight coming through the alleyway.

“Why is that? Oh, and if you want a reward, come to Neftam’s temple. I’m sure the priests will give you an appropriate reward.”

“It’s not like that.”

Nor is there any reason to stop.

Chasing after him was a headache when I thought about it later.

then…

“Wait a minute, the temple could be dangerous if Elin was taken carelessly.”

Elina’s eyelashes trembled at my words.

“yes? Who dares touch Neftam’s temple?”

“That’s right, there are people out there who are out of the world.”

I walked up to one of the moaning men on the floor and lightly kicked him in the face.

“Ugh…”

“name.”

“…go…go…”

puck!

“Not your name, but the name of the organization.”

My words brought fear to the man’s eyes.

However, a gun in front of you is more terrifying than a gun from 100km away.

I made sparks fly over my hand this time to make it more visible visually.

“Now, wait a minute! Too bad again…!”

“Oh no! You must have an idea too!”

Nias spread her arms wide to block Elina from approaching to stop me.

“How do you…”

“Believe me! It’s really good! I’m sure you’ll be fine!”

“Is…is that so?”

“yes!”

Nias’ pushy style of speaking can only be overwhelming when you experience it for the first time.

As if Elina was at a loss for words, she only cast a worried look at me.

“Why don’t you blow? As it is”

I brought my sparking hand close to the man’s face.

Right before sparks flew in his face, the man shuddered and shouted.

“…boo…red snake! It’s a red snake!!”

After hearing the cool answer, I shook my hand to put out the fire and hit the man again to knock him out.

“As expected. These red snakes aren’t just slave traders. Listen carefully.”

I cut off a word as if I were about to say something serious.

All eyes were focused on me at once.

“…These guys double as a terrorist organization against religion. They hate religion regardless of whether it is a good god or a bad god.”

“…you mean there are people like that? First time hearing it!”

“I heard that they infiltrated the Church of the Evil God Yuan. Thanks to that, the Yuan Church must have almost perished. I heard that you showed more than necessary cruelty in the process. Open arms and legs alive one by one…”

Elina covered her mouth with one hand spread out in surprise.

The silver eyes that contained that innocent line widened greatly.

“Two… I’m afraid! While torturing them like that… even though they are the apostles of evil spirits…”

When Yuan’s story came out, Elin opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything.

“If such cruel people took the kidnapper to the temple of Neftam…”

“right.”

I nodded, convinced.

Of course, all of this is a lie.

I also heard of a group called the Red Snake for the first time.

It is nothing more than a story weaved from an armed group.

“But it’s okay if it’s me. come with me I will protect you guys.”

“protect…?”

Elina tilted her head.

His eyes asked, “Who are you to be able to do such a thing?”

I sighed and took off the hood I was wearing.

And in the shadows of the alley, I slowly made my way under the moonlight.

“The duke’s son.”
