chapter 219
219 – Part 2, Episode 47, Purification that makes jewels clean.
It seems that the high-ranking people at the church headquarters are planning to add the large diamond stone to the development costs of the neutral region.
So, he asked me to remove the curse attached to it before disposing of it.
It’s not hard to curse.
Everything that touches my holy sword is purified by divine power under the name of the Goddess.
When I stretched out my hand to receive the diamond that had not yet been processed, I felt a strange feeling that was different from usual in my father-in-law’s hand.
Now I see that my father-in-law was wearing fairly thick gloves.
Not only that, but there are various accessories that shine in silver.
I don’t know exactly what that is, but it seems to be a measure to prevent the curse.
There were a lot of things like that in my past life.
Items that people make themselves are called magic tools, and items that are naturally imbued with magic power are called magical power-giving equipment.
It doesn’t seem to be much different now though.
Still, the number of magic enchantment equipment has definitely decreased.
It seems like there isn’t much left…
It used to be useful when traveling.
Anyway, right now, the story of Diamond is more important than that story.
The father-in-law took the diamond and took out the holy sword from his pocket.
My shining holy sword.
It shines so brightly that it cannot be seen as a broken sword.
The way to curse such an object is to lightly place the object on the blade of the sword.
If there is a curse attached to it, it will be completely erased from this world.
It doesn’t absorb or take it out, it gets rid of it.
That’s why the Holy Sword is the safest and can carry out great feats.
“The venom is quite strong. I can’t believe I can feel this much even with my bare hands.”
It’s a curse that can affect me as I hold the holy sword…
The only curse that comes to mind is the curse of death.
This is the curse that was placed on me before chaos was sealed.
But I don’t think a minion of chaos could bestow such a high-level and high-level curse.
“Your Majesty, it is dangerous.”
“This much is okay.”
It felt a little numb, but if I did it, it would go away anyway.
Immediately, magical energy flowed into the holy sword and purified everything that touched the holy sword.
So, pure white light flowed from my body.
Originally, I was a little confused because this kind of light did not come out when removing the curse or purifying it.
“Gwae… are you okay?”
“Wow… I almost fell… Thank you.”
At that moment, Aria, who was watching my back, held on to me, so I was able to keep from falling.
If I had fallen, I probably would have fallen into the pond.
Then, I would have had to drain all the water from the pond to find the diamond…
I had another major accident…
Phew…thank goodness.
“Hi, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. But…”
I’m okay, but the diamond in my hand doesn’t seem to be okay.
It was clearly an opaque diamond until just now, but after the purification process, it was sparkling really beautifully.
No, it’s not shiny.
This doesn’t seem to be receiving light from something and transmitting or reflecting it, but rather emitting light on its own…
Ah… how many elements are there in this world that emit their own light…
“Couldn’t it be something that ends in nium, dyum, and rium rather than diamond?”
“Are you talking about an element like uranium? That can’t be true. We confirmed that it was a diamond through hardness.”
The knowledgeable Pope already knew about radioactive elements such as uranium.
If you think about the development of this world around 1920, you can understand it well.
“I’ve never heard of a self-luminous diamond…”
“It’s my first time seeing something like this, but… oh, it’s getting smaller.”
As the Pope said, the light emanating from the diamond, which had been shining brightly just a moment ago, diminished.
After waiting for about a minute more, the light disappeared completely.
Instead, it must have been a gemstone that had not yet been polished, but it was very clear, clean, and beautiful not only on the inside but also on the outside.
Just like after polishing a non-cloudy gemstone.
It’s like a ghost crying.
Why does this happen every time I do something?
I feel like something annoying is going to happen again.
No, purification doesn’t make sense to purify even the purity of solids, right?
“Um… my father-in-law?”
“…Your Majesty is very convenient and has the ability to become rich…”
“haha…”
“Are you planning on using that power properly for our church? Of course, we will give you a lot of examples.”
The words my father-in-law just said were not those of a warrior or a pope.
He spoke as a mid-level priest and pope… and as a son-in-law and father-in-law.

Afterwards, I headed to my father-in-law’s office for verification.
But when you get to the office, isn’t it true that you can hear a commotion inside?
“Hohoho… It looks like the daughters have arrived.”
“haha…”
The Pope’s daughters must have come and are making a lot of noise.
Of course, it’s my wife and my execution.
When the two of us are together, we basically talk noisily.
I don’t know much about my brother because he never goes to sleep even if he comes to my house, but I know very well about my sister-in-law because he often comes to my house and even has his own room.
The two are very close and very boisterous.
It is said that in the past, long before now, people were warned about making too much noise at night.
“No matter how big they are, I think they are still daughters.”
“No, you’re both still young…”
Is the execution twenty-five this year?
And Stella is twenty-three years old this year.
Even though we have become adults, we can say that we are both still young.
When I opened the door and went inside, the interior suddenly became quiet.
When I saw the two people quietly drinking tea, smiling as if something had happened, a wry smile naturally came out.
“Your Majesty, Your Holiness. Are you here?”
“Hello, brother-in-law… By the way, why is Sister Stella here?”
“I came to see you, Seobang!!”
Our sister Stella, who only speaks the truth and does not lie at all.
In a place like this, it’s okay to deceive, but they still profess to have come to see me.
“Hehe, you see.”
“Father, if I’m not busy, can I take you for a meal?”
“It’s not that urgent, but… since we’re here, there’s something I’d like you to see, so please take a look.”
“yes~”
Our older sister, Stella, listens very well to what her father says.
I smiled, saying I understood, lifted the teacup, and drank the contents.
The Pope sat next to his brother-in-law, who was sitting across from Stella, and I sat next to Stella.
As soon as I sat down, Stella clung to my arm and started acting funny.
When I lightly patted his head, he immediately smiled happily.
“And what do you want me to see?”
“Come in.”
“Yes, Your Holiness.”
My father-in-law ordered the priest outside to come inside.
So, a person who appeared to be a mid-level priest came inside carrying something that looked like a tray.
There were various jewels placed on the tray.
There were gems that were clean on the outside but had bubbles inside, and for comparison, there were also gems of good quality.
And even diamond stones the size of small pebbles.
Why is a diamond so large that one wonders where it came from, and why is it at the church headquarters…
“Let’s start with this first.”
The first thing the Pope lifted up was Ruby.
It was the lowest grade ruby I mentioned earlier, even filled with air bubbles inside.
Normally, jewelry should be clean on the inside.
No matter how big a ruby like this is, its value is not recognized.
Usually, even if something like this is large, it is split into two pieces by grinding the large piece and the small piece separately.
“But I don’t think these bubbles will disappear.”
“But you never know.”
“Well… I’ll give it a try then.”
He took out the holy sword from his belt and drew the sword.
Then he touched the blade to the sword and activated purification magic.
Sure enough, the ruby begins to shine like a diamond.
Diamonds shone white, but rubies shone beautifully red.
“See… the light from the jewel….”
“The West has gained new power again…”
My sister-in-law was surprised, but Stella understood it after only looking at it briefly.
They seem to think that I have gained new strength by showing them my strange abilities again.
This… is a purification ability that purifies water or removes curses.
Someone who doesn’t know it might think it’s a jewelry cutting skill or something.
Anyway, I placed the shining ruby on the table.
It soon began to stop glowing and returned to a simple ruby.
“Hoo…even the air bubbles inside have definitely disappeared.”
“Wow… the inside was a little dirty earlier, but it has become very clear and transparent…”
“I didn’t even polish it, so why is it so clean?”
I wanted to answer the execution question, but I couldn’t.
That’s because I didn’t have any knowledge.
Sigh… If I keep this up, I might evolve into a real jeweler.
The church headquarters is surprisingly open to handling jewels, so I don’t think it would be a bad idea if you pay a lot of money.
….You can make money just by sitting down and using purification.
Isn’t it too good?
