Chapter 360

Episode 360 Interrogation (2)

After climbing the stairs to the deck, Raven hurriedly moved to the officer’s quarters.

When I arrived, all the platoon commanders in the corps, as well as the deputy guards I had already sent, were all gathered.

“Vice-captain Raven! You’re all right! Thank goodness! We’re still trying to set up a support corps because of the delay in returning—

”

“…Yes? Ah yes!”

The executives gathered around Raven’s seemingly urgent order abandoned their doubts and followed the order.

The officer’s quarters were completely emptied in seconds.

“…….”

Raven put his hand on the military message stone provided in the cabin with a complicated face.

“Nia Lapdonia. I’m Arua Raven, vice-captain of the 3rd Magic Corps. The movement was delayed to secure the retreat route for the troops, so I’m back now. Please share the current situation.”

[Nia Lapdonia. I am Eltora Tercerion, Chief of Staff of the 3rd Corps. I was worried when I heard that you went to stop the blood knights, but I’m glad you were safe.] ”

…Excuse me, but why did the chief of staff contact me instead of the corps commander…?”

[It’s because I am the second commanding authority who takes over the position when the highest commanding authority is absent during wartime.]

“Absence… are you saying?”

[Count Ramleond So has died in battle. While he was on the move after giving orders to the entire unit to assemble, he was ambushed by a group of criminals led by the traitor Ricardo Lüchenpraha.]

“That can’t be…”

[The raid stopped after all troops retreated to the lake. However, we are not sure what will happen in the future, so lead your troops and be vigilant around you until a separate order is given.]

After that, information on the current scale of damage and the enemies who perpetrated this raid was briefly and clearly shared. It’s gone.

And…….

[This seems to have conveyed everything I need to know. Now you do it. Was he really a blood knight?]

In response to his superior’s question, Raven summarized what had happened so far and posted a report.

What remains to stop the blood knights.

During the drive, the enemy’s reinforcements joined.

And even killing the ‘lighthouse keeper’ during the battle and retreating through multiple teleportation magic.

The process was omitted in a few words, and only the results were reported really briefly.

It wasn’t just to save time.

If that was the case, I wouldn’t have had to keep my mouth shut awkwardly.

[The lighthouse keeper was taken care of… I’m glad to hear that. Well done. Tell that there will be a reward for the major after blood.]

The superior thought that this major was made with the contribution of blood, but the reality is completely different.

Lichen Suits.

It was thanks to him that no one was harmed by the notorious Blood Knight, and it was he who finally killed the lighthouse keeper.

But…….

[Then let’s stop.]

Raven couldn’t say that until the very end.

no where is that?

‘Amelia Lane Wales.’

He didn’t even mention the woman who was as active as the Queen of Blood during the battle. Even though it is clear that it is the woman from Noark whom I met on Parune Island at that time.

Intentionally withheld information.

Even if he didn’t lie, it was an unmistakable fact that he had abandoned his duty as a soldier.

“Haa…….”

She, who always faithfully played her part, felt deep remorse.

But what can I do?

First of all, I needed time to organize my thoughts.

A man who introduced himself with the name

‘Leehen Shuitz…….’ .

Previously, she thought the man was Erwen looking for someone who looked like him and taking him with him.

However, after watching [Giantization], I felt like I was just in case.

If it wasn’t for someone who looked alike.

If that was the reason Erwen called him ‘uncle’.

If, in fact, that person was still alive.

“……I don’t know.”

Confusing.

It’s hard to be sure of anything.

I really want to be that person, but I also want to be just a person with a lot of similarities.

Because there were obviously many other points.

‘Height and face.’

and.

[You… your back…!]

When he unknowingly reached for the wound, the blood he touched was just hot and sticky.

If it was that person’s blood, it should have stung.

Also, there is another difference.

‘…too strong.’

A body that blocks the blood knight’s aura.

A unique ability to deflect magic.

In addition, the ability to pull enemies with the wind.

If it was Yandel in the past, he wouldn’t have been able to show his confidence against such formidable enemies.

But…

‘Because time has passed.’

It’s possible that he ate the new essence and became stronger.

Even Erwen, who is a member of Chilgang, and himself have changed a lot in the past two years.

‘Then…….’

As Raven sorted out a lot of information injected in a short period of time, Raven found himself leaning toward the fact that Bjorn Yandel was alive.

What was crucial was Amelia’s presence.

In the end, I couldn’t find out anything, but it’s true that there were unconvincing questions about the person’s death.

But is the person who went missing together still alive?

This is nothing short of suggesting that the person is still alive.

But the problem is…

‘If it’s really Mr. Yandel, then what should I do?’

Bjorn Yandel is an evil spirit.

The royal family had already officially announced it, and she knew about it even before making the announcement.

Because I saw that expression.

[You said that Mr. Yandel was rumored to be an evil spirit, but that’s… it’s not just a rumor, right?]

Mischa, who had the longest and deepest relationship with Yandel among his colleagues, did not answer.

But those trembling eyes contained the truth.

poke prick.

Raven had been biting his nails for the first time in a long time.

It was a habit that came out only when psychologically driven.

Unlike usual, there was no self-objectification at all.

Even though I want that man to be Yandel, there is myself who hopes that he is not.

But…

“What can I do? I’ll have to check it out.”

Soon, Raven made up his mind.

she knew

No matter how scared you are, you shouldn’t postpone what you have to do and run away.

***

No. 399 The Silent Cage.

A trap-type number item that activates when a spatial movement-type ability is used within a certain radius.

“That woman… is not going to come forever, right?”

“It’ll come. That’s probably soon.”

“How sure are you?”

“Because this cage doesn’t last forever.”

To be precise, once activated, it lasted for 2 hours.

The cooldown was incredibly long for that subject.

‘Besides, it’s impossible to beat them while they’re locked up.’

This was our crucial weakness in silence.

Should it be an item only for ‘redemption’?

When this item is activated, all external attacks are blocked.

Therefore, usually, after using this to lock up, spread the siege formation, and when it is released, link it up by placing a daguri…

Took.

The moment footsteps echoed across the hallway, the soldier serving as the guard raised a bow in that direction.

“Nia Lapdonia!”

yes you came

“Thank you for keeping an eye on me. I have something to say to them, so could you step aside for a moment? Oh, please keep everything a secret from here.”

“yes!”

Raven, who returned after about an hour, was alone and even had a soldier bitten and had his ears removed. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was a positive sign, but it was too soon to be relieved.

I asked Raven first, who was still looking inside while standing still in front of the barricade.

“…what are you going to do with us?”

“Are you still thinking of using that tone?”

Huh You’re coming out hard from the beginning?

Wouldn’t it be nice to just reveal your identity at this point and try to convince me to help?

While thinking about that, Raven continued.

“…Take off your helmet.”

Since I had washed my face once anyway, I obediently took off the lighthouse keeper’s bloodstained helmet.

Surprisingly, Raven’s expression did not change.

“…Even the armor you’re wearing.”

hehe what are you looking at me for?

It was said that men and women are seven years old.

“I cannot comply with unreasonable sexual demands. Even if I were a woman, those demands—”

“What are you saying now?”

I tried to logically explain why the armor couldn’t be removed, but Raven just looked at me with a straight face.

No, that’s kind of scary…

“I haven’t reported anything about you yet, about Mr. Rain Wales next door. But if you don’t comply with my request, that’s another story—” “Take it off.

”

“Your words… have become shorter?”

Well, there’s no way to get out anyway.

Instead of giving a long reply, I took off the armor that had been slashed at the back.

And…

“……!”

Then, for the first time, there was a change in Raven’s expression.

That gaze, somewhat agitated, was fixed on my tattoo hidden inside the armor.

It’s better to be like this, so I feel refreshed.

“It’s been a while, Raven.”

“…….”

“Why wasn’t it roughly what I expected?”

At my question, Raven pursed his lips and glared at me.

“But… I hoped it wasn’t.”

“Because I’m a demon?”

“Yes. It would have been better if only good memories were left…”

Raven blurted out his words in a bitter voice.

I also felt my heart tighten.

Yes, you are the kind of person who cannot accept that I am a demon.

“wait for a sec!”

“……?”

“Raven, it’s a misunderstanding that I’m a demon.”

I hurriedly entered the persuasion process.

“misunderstanding?”

“Yes, I am not a demon.”

“Then what is it like?”

Looking at me, Raven clenched his fists.

“Looks like Einar-san ate the same essence as ‘Bonknight’ to reduce his height… If it’s not an evil spirit, there’s no reason to go that far and hide your identity, right?”

Yes, I knew that question would come.

“When I returned, the royal family had already made such an announcement. After looking into it, there were a lot of suspicious parts. So, I hid my identity for the time being.”

“…I admit there’s a lot of suspiciousness to that announcement. But for now? And then you’re back? What the hell are you talking about?”

Okay, it sounds like you succeeded in eliciting curiosity.

“It’s a long story. There’s a thing called a record fragment—”

“Wait!”

I was about to explain what had happened, but Raven interrupted the conversation.

“You don’t have to say every phrase. This is enough.”

As Raven said, a familiar object was clutched in his hand.

No.7234 Misplaced trust.

A count-consuming item that makes it impossible to lie within a 10m radius when activated.

“If you’re Mr. Yandel, you’ll know what this is, right? It’s something I got from Mr. Parteian in the Doppelganger Forest before. Before, the military budget had surplus

and it was used up.” Uh-huh, be thorough.

Whoa!

In the meantime, I must have even turned on the power button, and the hour hand embedded in the disc the size of a compass started to move.

And in that state.

” Now then, tell me. Is that really a misunderstanding?”

Raven asked, staring at me.

“…will it work?”

Even thinking about that, I was quite nervous.

I hadn’t actually checked to see if Auril Gavis’s ‘Gift’ was working properly. I

planned to buy ‘Misplaced Trust’ or something similar later and check it once before going to the inspection table.

But…

“Raven is really misunderstood. I’m not an evil spirit.”

Yes , seeing the words come out, the ‘gift’ is working properly—

click

.

…What have you done?”

“Uh…”

I blurted out and the hour hand started moving again.

Was there a momentary error?

“I’m not sure about that… …”

As I hurriedly persisted, the misplaced trust stopped working with a clicking sound again.

And…….

Tick tock tock.

After a while, it started to move again.

“….. .Why does the ‘mistrust’ stop when Mr. Yandel speaks?”

He swallowed at Raven’s question.

‘No, he said he wouldn’t be affected by things like this in the future…’

Damn old man.

Like this . If it’s going to be, you should have told me in advance!
