Monk

Biodata

Background

Monks use the Holy Scripture, which records the deeds and commandments of the Goddess of Creation. Generations of monks have studied it to decipher the Goddess’s magic 16.

Beryl, an elderly monk living at a secluded monastery, devoted his life to that work after witnessing wartime injuries and children dying from plague. His research into the Goddess’s Barrier was delivered to Gostan City for testing and cataloging 17 18 21. Heiter, a member of the party that defeated the Demon King, is another monk; Frieren later invites Shane to meet him 2 50.
