Duke, Please Repent! chapter 98

24. The Duke and the Master of the Holy Sword (2)

"Is Zion perhaps the messenger of the god Luxmea?"

What kind of ghosts are you talking about?

As soon as the maids served tea and refreshments and left the drawing room, Eugene asked a question.

Suddenly, what are you talking about .

You said it before? How can you guess at Luxmea-sama's noble judgment on a mere human subject?

I can't stand it, it's so stupid that I can't stand it.

At her words, Serpens looked at me with a look of disbelief. I'm going to ask you if that statement is true, or did you really say that?

I swear to heaven, I never said anything so arrogant.

'It's not that there's no point at all, but...

I don't know why everyone is saying that receiving the Holy Sword is a sure thing.

Each of those words in Eugez's memory

It's definitely colored.

"Did you expect this to happen? Did you receive any revelation?

It was as expected, but he is in a state of exhaustion because he has not received any revelations.

According to the rumors that those who participated in the ceremony are possessed, I heard that Serpens-sama declared that he would protect the continent without any embarrassment even though he was not chosen.

It must have been the information that was slightly refined by the temple and the imperial family.

So should he, Serpens is Huma

I was taken aback by the fact that Nus had been chosen, and I didn't ask him such a question.

Even if one day has passed since then, you look quite confident even now. Did you not know in advance that you would not be chosen by the Holy Sword?

Pointing her legs here and there, the key is to stick her tongue out when she sees her stabbing accurately. Is this fiction based on reality or reality based on fiction?

That boundary is very vague.

I don't know for sure, but I know that even if I pick up a pen instead of a bow and start writing a novel right away, I know that it's a talent that will make a big difference.

Serpens took a sip of the tea elegantly, and I shoved a cookie into my mouth.

To put it intuitively, we chewed on her words.

Did you accept silence as a positive? She nodded with a look of full understanding.

"That black fighter . Was it Sir Winston Redford?

You must have known.

In her eyes as if hoping for a definite answer, I reflexively looked at Serpens. If so, would there be some way to solve it?

After receiving my gaze, he blinked lightly with an expression of understanding, then turned his head to answer Eugene.

"It is correct."

In response to his answer, which was not very cool, he even forgot to chew the cookie he had in his mouth and looked at Serpens.

'No, one. What are you talking about, peacock! I, I buy! i am god

The lion of the !'

At my swaying gaze, he tilted his head with a 'Isn't this? I don't know what the hell it was and how it came to such a conclusion.

But already spilled water. The story had to end.

"Anyway, that's it."

It was difficult to tell because Zion is a swindler or heresy because of the hardships he suffers from instead of the divine power... I'm glad you noticed it first.

Serpens secretly joked

I think it is, but the story behind it is so eerie that I can't even laugh at it.

'And the name... '

It's been so long since I've been called by my real name, I'm sad for nothing. However, it was impossible to call the unfamiliar name Seonwoo in front of others, so the external name was decided to be Zion.

That is, even in places other than in front of Eugene.

It was still someone else's name, but it was relatively less repulsive because it was similar to the original name than Rivelon.

At the same time, Xeon Rivelon also got a job at the Duchess House.

So, that would be a good excuse.

How did you find out, even though the middle process was omitted, in the end it was right? Such strange information is probably only a revelation from God or information possessed by the demon worshipers.

Even while talking like that, Eugenes sent me a gentle gaze as if to be relieved. Looking at them, I don't think I'm their spy at all.

Serpence, who is not anyone else, believes and relies on Idaji, and

Considering that you were aware of the outcome of the sword's choice, it would be right to look at the revelation. Oh, of course, I believe in the appearance of Zion that I have seen so far!

To this day, it feels like Eugenes is surrounded by a bright and divine light.

When looking at Serpens with a light smile at 100,000 lux, the current Euges would be about 75,000 ... No, wouldn't it be around 82,000 lux?

More than that, it's even more surprising that it's more accurate and clearer than any revelation ever made on the continent.

The replacement god Luxmea has never revealed

How did it get down, 'Gladiator Slave! Scout from the Demon Worship Forces! I don't know any other details, but anyways!' Can I say something clearly?

'Even a lack of accuracy?'

You said it wasn't clear, so I must have misinterpreted it because of a vague revelation. Or, all you are is a swindler and a swindler with only plausible words... There's no point, right?

Luxmea, calm down and get things straight.

"Thank you for believing in me and telling me this."

Ah... no. I'm really thankful that you believed in me, yes. Not like that...?

It was Serpens who spoke, but somehow, thanks for telling me, thank you was delivered to me.

No one would believe me if I had to say, 'I'm a messenger of the gods!' I don't have any divine power, so I guess he guessed that he said it with my permission.

'uh? Then Serpens decided that I had asked him for a guarantee, and accepted it without hesitation.'

Guarantee is not something that even family members stand by recklessly. When should I give it a sharp scolding?

'And about Eugene... '

I think it's a positive thing that this has happened, well.

From now on, as long as I could express my suspicions freely in front of Euges and possess the contents of [Master of the Holy Sword], there would be no problem.

"So what are the guidelines for the future? Are you traveling with Humanus and helping yourself, or will you act separately?"

After the selection of the Holy Sword was finished, Serpens' reaction had already been heard through rumors. That is a secondary purpose, and it seems that her ultimate goal today is to confirm who I am and what to do next.

'What do you think of Serpence?'

As soon as the results come out, it's a question I thought I should ask him.

But on the day of choice.

Humanus'... A sad story that is hard to put into words, the Serpens awakening event and Luxmea's intervention.

There were a lot of extravagant things going on, and it flew to the back of the consciousness.

'Even if I forgot, what will happen if you tell me in advance?'

With such an opinion, I shot Serpens to the fullest. After receiving the gaze, he replied with a look of 'What, what?'

It's just what Serpence wanted to do.

"If that's the case, have you already told me?"

I haven't heard anything, but what did he say to whom?

Seeing me bewildered, he shook his head with pitiful eyes.

Didn't I say clearly that I would do my best to protect the continent from my position?

The 'position' he was talking about seemed to mean that he would remain in the country.

Humanus has no intention of becoming your companion, so don't even dream about it.'

Before making a proper invitation, let's take a brief moment of silence for Humanus, who is the speed of light.

'Is it lucky for me .'

Although Serpens has awakened and seems to have found a lot of mental stability.

But, in my opinion, it was just a child or anything that had been put on the shore.

Even if they were moved from the edge of the cliff to the water, it is still not a safe place for children to play.

How do you know what that means? I thought it was just saying that I was going to do my best as a continental citizen called Serpens.

" Hmmm. that it is.

"Your Majesty didn't even notice that you were being exposed, so wouldn't you come to see me openly in front of you?"

No one else noticed, even me, the master of Serpentine.

How much more will Humanus be worse.

Perhaps it is possible that he interpreted it as saying that he would travel with him and become a reliable companion.

Anyway, then we'll be acting separately from the master of the Holy Sword, right?

Yes, I think it would be better to do it in an efficient way.

When Euges raised his long ears and asked a question in an excited voice, Serpens answered with a calm voice.

After all, she wants to work as an Illuminati, not as a companion of the Holy Sword.

...what?

Even though Serpens, who was the final boss position, was still in the group, up to Eugenes.

It's about falling out.

'Sacred sword party, is this okay?'

In analogy to an MMORPG, Humanus is a secondary tank and melee dealer. A few strong enemies. Especially when dealing with demons, he took on the role of the main dealer.

Depending on the situation, Humanus alone faced a demon while the rest of the party blocked other enemies.

Puror always stood at the forefront of his party, protecting them as the main tank.

Liena can receive buffs using divine power and

He supported his companions through healing.

Anima served as the main dealer in place of Humanus when dealing with multiple or aerial enemies as a long-distance dealer.

And Eugenes filled the void while the anima was preparing for magic as a secondary one. In addition, he defended the ranks by blocking attacks that the vanguard had failed to defend.

'Still, it's not the main role, so are you going to roll around somehow?'

There is also a scene where Liena hastily deployed a barrier to block the attack missed by the vanguard before Eugenes joined the party.

was

When I saw the signs of an incident, the first thing I noticed was the little thing that she was There was a problem I wish I had, but I'll figure it out on my own.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to consider a way to give advice in advance here.

" Zion? Is there any problem?"

No? Not sure?

As if what kind of reply was that, Serpence frowned.

However, as it seemed that I had no intention of answering, I continued what I had been saying with an uneasy expression.

"The first thing to be on the lookout for is, ironically, the inside of the Empire."

Yes? Inside the Empire?

Right now, it's a difficult time for demon worshipers to use force. That's why they're trying to incite people's desires to cause strife and conflict.

Serpence explained to Eugene, who was puzzled, with a look between cold-hearted and cold-hearted.

He only mentions demon worshipers, but he is well aware that they could be quite off-putting if they weren't.

maybe I'm more wary of it

also don't know

'Until now, I would have believed that a non-human-class Munchkin character named Serpens would be chosen by the Holy Sword and become stronger and solve everything."

Out of nowhere, an ordinary human-level humanus was suddenly chosen.

Could that bastard be able to do it well, maybe God made a mistake, we're all ruined, etc.

They babbled like that, and they formed a band of thieves like what they did by obeying the law anyway.

'In my view, they are trying to justify their actions.

I couldn't see it outside.'

From the beginning, there were descriptions of people like the gangsters. They are traitors who are blinded by their own greed before they even reach the mouths of demon worshipers.

They plunder small villages without armed forces, taking advantage of the world's chaos to satisfy their greed.

'Fortunately, Humanus found it early and suppressed it .'

The demon worshipers began to spread the word about whether they were impressed with the sound of a dog.

Touching people's anxiety and instigating

did.

At some point, it was impossible to tell whether this was the voice of the demon worshipers or the voice of mankind on the continent.

It was after the fall of the empire and the division of the denominations that pseudo-religions began to spread in earnest, but from this point on, there were signs of a start.
