CH 111

Duke, Please Repent! chapter 111

27. Deputy Butler of the Duchess (1)

Currently, it seems that the intelligence group of the Prasidus family and the intelligence group of the Argento family are checking each other under the water.

'Everyone said they have an information group... .'

The words are not secret, it must have been a normal daily life among the great aristocrats.

Judging by the fact that they said that they were not even nobles of the capital, but great nobles, they had their own

There is no doubt that the league is unfolding.

While they confronted each other and bound each other, Serpens did not completely let go of each other.

Serpens, who used the secret passage to get out of the duke's residence without anyone knowing, hid in the dark area.

And it is said that using them, he started to investigate the families connected to the Duke of Argento.

'I hoped not to use it as much as possible... .'

Reading my sign that I don't like it

As a matter of fact, Serpens added a further explanation.

In order to make sure that the sniper of the Duke of Argento is not obtrusive, even irrelevant families were inserted anyway.

Thanks to this, the information merchants in the dark district would be busier, but that was not something Serpens had to care about.

They say that even if you get caught, cut off the tail and that's it, what can you say about that?

'If a demon appears later in the dark, I have to overturn it in a flashy way so that no data can be retrieved .'

Of course, not me, but Serpens.

It wasn't just that.

There was no way Serpens, who took care of other people's affairs, left it to a dark place that was not under the duke's family to collect information and waited.

He was going out every night because he was doing the research on the Duke of Argento, which is the most important part.

'Thanks to you, I was able to know these things.'

You look kind of tired these days, so I asked if there was anything wrong with me.

He divulged some facts.

If I hadn't noticed, I would have been bewildered to see that everything was finished without knowing anything.

And now... .

"How many things are you doing at once?"

After work, I visited his library in the evening and found him sitting upright in front of a desk with a statue of a polite cat, reading a book.

'Yes. It's as good as reading a book, that's it.'

but the book is no longer in use

not. It was a bit of a problem that it consisted of ancient sacred characters that were only used within the church even before the empire was established.

Although it was the first time I saw it, the reason I could immediately recognize that it was a sacred script was thanks to the description of the divine character mentioned in [Master of the Holy Sword].

Sacred texts were, strictly speaking, more like codes of complex symbols than letters.

I can't even feel the regularity between each letter, which should exist in a letter with a single system.

How are you? Do you know something?

I've been reading for a while... but I don't know if I'm interpreting or deciphering right now.

Liena took a deep breath and looked through the booklet with the interpretations of the sacred characters, and ran her finger on the text written on the tombstone.

It was exactly as described.

It was more complex and bizarre than the characters that make up the magic scroll. I can't figure out why he wrote that character, but it's so difficult that I can understand why it's been obsolete.

To add to the exaggeration, it seems like it was created with the purpose of making sure that no one writes it and no one reads it.

'By the way, when did you start doing research on Luxmea?'

It's not an urgent matter right now, I'm curious

If you do, I don't know why you're already doing something that won't be too late even if the continent regains peace in the future.

It must be said that he does not have a word in his dictionary to put off work and take a break.

''Have you been sneaking into this sect and tampering with the book?

It's not like that.

Oh, yes. Of course you do. You must have borrowed it without permission.

Hearing my sarcastic remark, he took his eyes off the book and let me go with a dissatisfied expression.

Isn't it natural to be found out when the bookshelves are empty? You can rest assured that you can read the church's books on the spot.

That is very reassuring.

It's a hundred times true, but it doesn't mean that he infiltrated anyway. dangerously.

"Then what is that book?"

I found it in the Darkside.

Turning the bookshelf with elegant gestures, Serpens answered.

"By the way, was it originally a holy place?"

It is said that while he was in a dark place to investigate information, he was cleaning up the interior, and found something that someone had collected and stole it.

What was discovered in the early days of the dark district, which was wandering around in the course of their struggle for power, seems to have been compiled by a person who recognized the value of it.

The interpretation of the sacred text is strictly managed by the denomination, so it seems that the contents cannot be read, but someday it will be sold at a high price.

They said they had it because they thought they could eat it.

I didn't pay anything for that and just brought it.

Perhaps he lamented that he would have put it up for auction as soon as Serpence left.

"So, do you have any income?"

Not at all. Like Seonwoo, there was no mention of a different world, let alone a case where the marks were transferred to another person's body.

Yes?

In answer to his gloomy words,

I couldn't help but feel stunned.

Is that what you were looking for? Of course, I thought Luxmea was investigating the case of Ghan's involvement in my eyes... No, sending down beings from another world is a huge intervention. Still...

I thought Sunwoo would be the first to ask about it]. Wasn't it?

it can't be

Still, what made me feel a bit stunned was that he didn't know that he would even care about such a thing.

'Even though I said it was okay, I must have been very interested in you.'

Whether he researched it intensively or recognized it side-by-side while investigating other things, it was possible because he had a heart for me.

That alone is something to be thankful for, but it was also strange and heartwarming to see him grimacing, saying that it was not helpful.

It's worth it. If there was someone from another world like me, I'd be able to tell you a book or a story about it, even if it wasn't a book in the church.

He must have come.

" Sunwoo claims that he is the average of that world, so if he says so, it must be so."

"What does that mean?"

For some reason, it sounds like you're saying that if it wasn't for someone like me, I wouldn't have been openly suspicious or found out by others.

When it comes to the intervention of the god Luxmea, there are things like this.

"Are you chewing my words now?"

God Luxmea did not impose any restrictions or restraints on the beings of the continent.

all. Just watching and reaching out to those who hope and hope for salvation. The rules were created solely out of human need, and he did not regulate them either."

Perhaps it wasn't the part he was reading right now, Serpense memorized it solemnly as he slowly closed his eyes and recalled the contents.

Its appearance seemed to convey the word of God, so it looked noble and sublime.

But unlike that... .

How long does it take to be the last sentence?

yo. This?

Yeah. It's a perfect story to get caught up in this gang if you gossip about it.

Serpens opened his eyes and smiled brightly.

"The statement 'the strongest divine power' in the condition of the owner of the holy sword turned out to be false, didn't it?"

"I understand what you are trying to say. In the first place, the divine power is a power that has a large genetic influence. Moreover, as long as that power does not go away just by making offspring, it is the government and priesthood that prevent priests from marrying. to separate

this would be As an added bonus, there must also be a purpose to prevent private use of it."

To summarize, it is said that Humanus is being treated as an eunuch because what was just a custom was passed on as a rule that must be obeyed unconditionally.

Like a poor guy

Still, it's a little bit difficult to tell the Crown Prince.

Yes. Aside from the content that denies the norms set by the denomination, it is not that the conditions for becoming the master of the Holy Sword are clearly stated.

You can't take a risk on an issue that hasn't been addressed, so the one who leaves it as it is will not tell you.

Anyway, Humanus defended it well in [Master of the Holy Sword] and overcame it, so I believe he will do well this time as well.

It is not easy to say that it is someone else's business.

"So why did you come to see me?"

What could be considered information was whether it was my ex-wife, and Serpens later asked the purpose of my visit.

Since I had delivered all the things I had to convey in [Master of the Holy Sword] as soon as I remembered them, I don't have any more words to say, so the question is why did you come here?

"Are you just here to play?"

As if he didn't understand English at my answer, he widened his eyes and tilted his head.

Oh, why! You can just come over to your friend's room for no reason!

" Is that so? Indeed, even the Crown Prince would come and say things like that."

Before, Serpence also broke into my room and said things like that? It's also in a room without an owner!

uh... .

As if there was nothing to refute my words, he touched the corner of the bookshelf he was about to turn and avoided his gaze.

"Originally, all of our friends are like that. Even in the world we used to live in, we would go out to eat, play games, and sleep in our friends' rooms."

" Is that so?"

That's it. If you're a best friend,

We should go to Law's room to play!

When I open my chest and speak confidently, Serpence seems to be thinking about something with a stiff face, 'Ummm ' and drooled.

"Then should I move to my room?"

He must have been seriously contemplating something like that, since he's not the only person he's ever seen for 25 years, his self-proclaimed friend, Humanus.

I'm not referring to just one real 'room', I'm referring to personal space.

Right.

This guy must understand only the dictionary definition of human relationships and emotions.

As proof, if it was a different topic, didn't the guy who pretended to pretend and understood, just looked at the words on the outside and accepted it as it is.

In that sense, I plan to come here often, but can I change this into a long sofa? It's hard to read a book while lying down.

" the sofa is not meant to lie down, but to sit and read a book."

Cross the body in a single-seater armchair

So, lying crumpled up and tossing and turning, I opened the novel that I had brought with me, and Serpens spoke in a absurd voice as if teaching.

No! So Serpence has never been on the couch before? Has he never read a book lying down or lying down?

Is that surprising...?

of course!

It's a pity that I got a seat at the most, so when I jumped up and asked a question, he made a face that he couldn't do this.

Please try it later. Then

You will never be told to sit back and read a book again!

" Ummm."

It was obvious that he was unsure of what to try, or when I wasn't there.

Feeling like I had done something, I crumpled back into the armchair.

Are you reading a book saying you came to play?

Looks like you're busy. If you're a serpent, won't you reduce your sleep time if you don't read all of your target today?

Just keep doing what you're doing.

Serpence looked at the opened book and me, and then closed the book.

Sunwoo.

why?

If you have a book to read with you in mind, it's hard to see that you're here to play without meaning...

Look, he's such a guy.

Even though he was able to dig into the words that were just slurred and immediately recognize the truth, he was acting so bluntly before.

I'm going to stop reading today.

really?

Yes. However, there is nothing else to do, whether it's a room or a study, so let's talk and play today.

Live and live, the words to play will come out of this guy's mouth. But I don't think it's meant to be a real sleepover.

I know that I was referring to telling you to confide if you have something to say, but it's still impressive for nothing.
