The deity’s blessing

Even if Eman wanted to tell them the truth, most of them would probably not believe him since he lacked the proof regarding it. Also, it was complicated. That's why he chose this method of assuring them that there wasn't a curse in this mountain. He could create false proof. And it could also be beneficial to him later on.

It was like, striking multiple birds in one stone. Eman grinned inwardly. Thanks to his subordinates, who were diligently gathering information everywhere in the empire, he learned some folklore. He learned that they believed in spirits, ghosts, deities, and etcetera.

"A-A deity…" Soldier Kanna muttered in astonishment.

Bross, who was gaping at the moment while staring wide-eyed at the deity in the shape of a young girl, also muttered in astonishment. "A real deity?" 

"Everyone, please rest assured. As long as you mean well, no curse shall befall you…" said Little Sky in a majestic voice. Then, she opened her mouth again.
