Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 24

(EP-24.1) Angmar #4

024 – Peaceful Angmar #4

Theo Gospel was weak.

He got tired easily no matter what he did. Obviously, he was an indoor type of person and had no skill in things such as swordsmanship.

He was simply too sheltered to learn anything like self-defense.

Instead, he had an exceptional memory and was a quick thinker. He also never forgot something after seeing it once.

Nevertheless, I sometimes felt pity for his lack of power.

So how about learning magic? Some might ask.

But strangely enough, I also had no talent for magic.

I had tried many ways to learn it from an Archmage like Aira, but it was difficult for me to even detect ‘mana’.

━In the magical Kingdom of Angmar, there are very few people without such talent. Theo, you might need to investigate your body.

It was to the extent that even Aira felt suspicious.

I couldn’t even talk about learning magic from Aira thoroughly due to the risk of getting discovered. After all, I was a mysterious entity who was possessing this body...

I had neither talent in Martial Arts nor magic.

I was but a being that lived through my tongue.

Perhaps this was the identity of Theo Gospel.

A struggling character that would eventually be executed with a single line of text. That was my destiny.

But now, it felt like I’d found a way to change it.

“If you really are a Half-Nymph, you might be able to accept Angmar-nim’s great blessing!”

I couldn’t believe I could have a Status Window!

That convenient function could be granted to other people?

It was the first time I had ever heard of such a thing. If I had known about this, I would have tried it earlier.

“Is that possible? It’s the first time I’ve heard of this.”

“It’s a secret skill that only Imps could do. Because the main task of the Imps was to evangelize and spread Angmar-nim’s great blessings to everyone!”

This was the first time I met an Imp, so how could I have known?

“It’s not something that anyone could just receive. But you, Theo Gospel, your contribution towards the monsters and labor assistants is as great as that of loyal followers. So, I will do this just for you, my comrade!”

Ooooh!

I stopped any sound from leaving my mouth. While pretending nothing was wrong, I continued to ask some questions.

“Is the method complicated or difficult? Would I get sick or see blood?”

“It’s simple. It doesn’t even take 10 seconds. I only need you to say a few words.”

“It’s that short?”

This suddenly became quite suspicious...

As I frowned, Marmar said confidently while puffing out her chest.

“Lies are complicated and lavishly decorated. However, truths are simple and straightforward. Now, sit on your knees on the floor here.”

Ok, that made sense.

Dugeun, dugeun.

I knelt on the floor with my heart pounding in excitement like a child.

Marmar put her hand on my head.

“You have to follow what I say with all your heart.”

“Follow what you say?”

“For the Lord so loved by the world that he has given a great new order. And whoever believes in it will not perish, and may have a peaceful eternal life—” _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

What a mouthful.

It felt like an ancient hymn.

This was just like the prayer that the evangelists gave me when I first went to church with my friend, before I was Theo.

Was this a welcome prayer?

I found this similar to the process of becoming a member of the church. In fact, this might actually be a confession of faith...

Whilst I was recalling some old memories, Marmar said.

“Is it difficult because it’s a bit long? Then I’ll tell you again. For the Lord—”

I cut her off

“No, it’s okay. I have already memorized everything.”

“Really? Quite a good head you’ve got there. Now, you need to say it with all your heart!”
