Duke, Please Repent! chapter 118

28. The Duke and the Illuminati (2)

'Hey, I don't know.'

It wasn't my hard work, Serppens's work wasn't aggravated, and Eugenes was also happy to do it.

He nodded his head to signify that Serpens should take care of it. He nodded, indicating that he was going to do it anyway.

Since it's decided that way, we'll pass on the detailed mission while we eat! Or eat it all.

That would be nice.

Eugenes responded to my words and carefully opened the champagne lid.

I prepared champagne for the celebration, but since it's indoors, I don't think there's any intention of popping it.

With a small 'tock-.'

Somehow, it has become a welcome party for new recruits and a place where I wish for the success of my first solo mission.

"What's going on, how about Eugenes, the toast?"

Me and Euges laugh haha ho ho

He raised a glass of champagne. Serpence, as if trying to match the mood, smiled softly and raised a glass.

But there was still one glass left on the table.

"Why did you name the master"? And the situation just happened ."

A confused voice rang in his ears. When he turned his head, Winston's face was contemplated.

'Did I just call Serpens by his first name?'

Looking back, it may or may not have been

Before that, the flow of the conversation was a problem. Didn't it look like Serpens was asking me for permission?

'This is just embarrassing.

For some reason, it seems that Winston has been there since before, as if it was not there... .

You've become a new Illuminati member you don't even know about, so you must have wondered what the hell this was like.

Still in a confusing situation, I called Serpens by name. And I passed it over to Serpense and Eugenes so naturally.

He seems to have lost his mind.

I looked at Serpens with eyes wondering why I didn't cover my mouth in the middle.

He didn't even think about what he had to say about it, and why am I blaming Seonwoo for not taking care of his mouth?'

Actually, because today's meeting is a secret meeting of the Illuminati.

Still, I think I'm going to do a follow up.

As if prepared from the beginning, Serpens came up with an excuse.

That's right, the head of the Illuminati is

It's on.

"Even if it's not that, Serpens and I are friends, so we call them by their first names in private."

Eugenes naturally took over, and I jumped on board without missing an opportunity.

With the constant flood of information, Winston could not calm down and became even more confused.

Sir Redford.

Yes, my lord!

Serpens called out Winston with a clear yet powerful voice. confusion

In the midst of the chaos, he immediately responded to the master's call.

"Are you confused?"

...Yes.

I understand. Why was I called to this position? And why did I become a member of a secret society? It's embarrassing.

If Serpense really understands and says things like that, then I'm offended.

Isn't it very pseudo-historic from the way you speak? It is clear that something is starting up.

The fact that we went to the Kingdom of Bastul

You know, I think you have already noticed."

Winston looked puzzled at his words and had no idea what he was talking about.

However, Serpens pretended not to see anything and continued talking.

"The Illuminati promote peace across the entire continent beyond the Empire. It operates as a transcontinental organization."

Who buried Eugenes in Serpens? I didn't.

Even if you add Winston in the first place, there are only four people, but they must have been operating on a pan-continental basis.

Being tied to one country is politically entangled, and there are too many things to check. In the meantime, you might miss out on demon worshipers, so that's essential.

The way he speaks bitterly, as if it is very sad, is still sublime today.

The setting of not to be bound by anything for quick response and free activities was very similar to a secret society.

look at me

The true founder of the Illuminati, too!' he nodded.

Aren't you acknowledging it?

"So, the story that comes out today should never leak out."

"Hey, why did you bring me to such an important position "

At Winston's question, Serpens didn't say anything, but just smiled.

His mouth is closed, but from somewhere, 'it's because I believe in Sir Redford', is an expression automatically supported by voice.

Whether it was Winston who heard the non-substantial voice, he was deeply

This was subdued.

However, it is clear that the act of going overboard without speaking directly did not truly give faith.

'That's a trick, a trick.'

It's a smoke that makes my tongue stick out without realizing it. Eugenes, who was sitting across from him, was also watching the game with a curious expression.

Serpens still recognized Winston as a complete stranger.

It's only because Winston has an antagonism to the demon cults that put him in this conversation. he chivalry

Because I believe in a savvy, out-of-bones beast.

By our rescue of him, on the basis of the gratitude and debt he feels for us.

'It must have just been judged that the possibility of betrayal was less than that of others.'

Since they rescued him and gave him the name 'Illuminati', there must be a plan to put him on the same boat, who knows the identity of the Illuminati.

Come on, come on. Now, let's get together quickly, and let's make friends.

Winston doesn't have much to say about my imposing friendship. I have a lot to say, but I have a face that I won't say.

It's a secret society, so you'd think it'd be okay to be so light-hearted.

Since the number is small, shouldn't we get together more? Come on, grab a drink! The person who bought it is sincere, how long are you going to just look around?

This time, all four glasses on the table were lifted.

For the new Winston-sama to quickly adapt, I wish you the success of my first solo mission, and wish you peace on the continent! May Kwangmyeong be with you!

Eugene cleared his voice and sang a toast.

It seems like it was going well and eventually became a pseudo-religious group, but what do you think? If it's fun and the meaning is good, that's it!

May Gwangmyeong be with you!

While imitating her last words, I slammed my cup into the cup of Euges that was held high. Serpens and Winston silently held out their glasses.

There was a clear chirping sound, but this is not a proper toast.

I didn't like it.

Without taking the cup, he deliberately furrowed his eyebrows and glared at them both.

May the light be with you.

Serpens let out a small laugh and took the glass back slightly, then brought it back lightly. Once again, a clear sound rang out.

Everyone's eyes are on Winston.

Wow, may Gwangmyeong be with you...!

He still looks stunned. You'll get used to it soon though.

I smiled contentedly, took the glass, drank the champagne in one shot, and tossed the empty glass over my head.

nice~!

Serpens in my actions are just my three

Passing by saying it's a champagne, I sip champagne.

Shion seems to really like alcohol.

The etiquette was arrogant, but Eugenes didn't care about that.

As if to drink a lot of what he likes, he immediately fills the empty glass.

According to [Master of the Holy Sword], did you say that by the standards of the elves of this world, it is enough to have respect for people in dealing with them?

As long as you keep that line, the elf doesn't touch the behavior according to the individual's inclinations.

it was down

The reason the law is made is to at least specify the morality to be observed because of those who harm others and try to satisfy their greed.

The same goes for etiquette and formality.

'For the elves, who are born with consideration for others and a peaceful race, there must have been no need for that in the first place.'

The reasons were different, but Serpens and Eugenes naturally passed on my actions.

Winston had a puzzled expression on whether we were weird or if he was weird.

Alcohol is alcohol, but the atmosphere is better than that.

A more lively and exciting atmosphere than usual. It's nice to have an atmosphere where we can treat each other more freely.

'It's because the drinks I drank after coming to this world are only of high quality, and they taste great!'

If you come into Zion's body and ask what's better than mine, I'll pick the point that I drink heavily through my nose.

It was pitiful compared to those who had energy such as divine power, aura, and magical power in their body, but for a normal person, it was excellent.

'Yeah, you should drink alcohol at the party!'

Of course, even if you don't drink, you can get drunk and play like you've been drinking.

It's so exciting to be surprised when the people I've been drinking with for the first time find out about it later!

I want to become a dog in the same way] Hey, I guess we can just drink alcohol. However, unfortunately I was an alcoholic waste.

What if even a small amount of alcohol dries like a sick chicken and falls asleep without even having time to enjoy a drink?

Champagne with the sadness of that time in a glass

took a sip in his mouth.

The sweet scent that rubs the tip of the nose and the stimulation that stings the tip of the tongue are very enjoyable.

"So, what is that mission?"

Eugese cut the yuzu tart into very large pieces and placed it on Serpens' plate. Because he knows he won't touch the dessert in the first place without that excuse.

Do you know a thief named 'Ladrava'?

"You don't know. It wasn't usually a riot at that time.

It didn't work out in the middle... . Ah, maybe that money]?!"

As if recalling the past, he said with a tone of 'It was then,' and with a look of surprise, Eugenes, who was putting the tart on my plate, was suddenly surprised.

'Didn't you make a loud noise like it just passed by?!'

I was surprised too.

I knew my age was three digits, but I didn't even give myself time to prepare my heart, and I... . No, the century difference will come in.

Eugenes is about to put a tart on Winston's plate, but he hastily

I waved my hand.

I'm fine. I don't really enjoy sweet foods...

If that's the case, then there's nothing you can do about it. And it's okay if you don't be so polite to fellow Illuminati. Just treat him like you would with Shion.

As he moved the tart piece he was about to put on his plate to his plate, Eugese smiled softly.

Meanwhile, Serpens seized a chance and cut the yuzu tart with the edge of the fork and put it in his mouth.

Tart paper and cream cheese filling. The harmony of the citron curd on top is satisfying.

it's a cute expression

" I'll try to do that so."

Perhaps it was because of the century difference he felt a moment ago, Winston answered with a little hesitation.

"Then can we continue?"

Serpens said as if he was waiting for the conversation between Winston and Eugenes, the main word that Ji had to eat because he wanted to eat tart.

Yes, please tell me.

Eugene straightened his posture and sat down. Her eyes became serious.

As Yulydia had guessed,

He intends to use the wealth he has gathered.

Did you find Ladrava's lair?

It's not the exact location, but we got the clue.

Saying that, Serpens glanced at me, and Eugene nodded with an expression of understanding.

"It is the grace of God Luxmea/

Originally, it was the wealth that Humanus, the master of the holy sword, should have obtained.

It looks good in intercepting such a thing

The expression Mea's Grace is attached, so it's really bizarre.
