Duke, Please Repent! chapter 166

34. While the Duke was away

It's like these bad guys.

As long as Serpens leaves far away, he is anxious because he can't do his best.

Why are you mad at me?!'

Considering the externally known image of Serpence, whether it was me or Xeon

His use as a hostage is there.

Xeon should have been imprisoned

That doesn't mean you did, it just means that you don't have to make an ambiguous order to bring in another kid while releasing the fish you've already caught.

'Or are you going to take revenge on me now?'

I was involved in two events organized by the demon worshipers in the Empire. If anger is the purpose

I would curse for being petty, but it was a reason I could accept and move on.

But two is better than one.

If you can take two hostages, you can use them more reliably than one.

could eat

'For example, killing one person or making them disabled, then trading with another person?'

It wasn't something I just invented, it was the method they actually used in [Master of the Holy Sword].

If there is definitely a way to get another hostage, there's no reason not to try it.

'Do these guys really know something?'

You must have remembered that their specialty is manipulation.

It seems to have been worn out.

Probably they did some research on me.

Based on the change in personality or behavior between past and present information, 'Ah! What if you thought, 'Is it going to be enough to make it up like this?'

So, what if you've floated the odds?

'It's plausible, but they're talking about the self-proclaimed 'Prophet of Tenebrio'... .'

But for them to be true prophets, I am not the original Zion.

I got everything wrong except for you.

Before that, I don't know what the relationship between being a prophet and knowing that I'm not Zion has anything to do with it.

Okay... this, really.

The sound of pain comes out of nowhere.

There were no such people in [Master of the Holy Sword], but suddenly I got a headache.

Then, by ignoring it like this...

Wait a minute, that's not much.

Yes?

I knew it because I told you not to get involved

At my sudden change of words, Xeon showed a question.

If I asked for just one more week..., wouldn't they listen to me? Wait, to talk like that, you have to meet them first... But that's not enough to just pass on as if nothing had happened...

"Of course we have to go through it."

Could it be the sweet pumpkin soup from tonight's dinner menu?

Xeon is so determined today.

"Serpens even told the deputy butler, if you think I'm going to go buy something and hit it, stop it.

Did you say something different?"

There was no such order.

Xeon made a blatant expression as if he was scolding what he was doing on a regular basis.

Or is it just drinking, there's no need to look at it that way?

As a result of checking, you were right, and everything they said was nonsense, so they dismissed it as a mere happening. That's good enough. I've only seen one person, but I don't know how many people are hiding. It's too dangerous to move around.

NS.

He was a hundred times right.

Even if he asked Eugenes for his cooperation, he could not step into the enemy line, leaving all safety to her in a situation where he did not know how much the enemy's strength was.

Also, Serpens must have entered the boundary of the mountain range by now.

Even if the worshiper who claims to be a prophet succeeds in sending a letter unnoticed, it will not be in the hands of Serpens who came out of the barrier until next week.

There was no such thing as the last time.

That's what I know.

If you know, what are you hesitating about? Even if the aide's identity arises in the future, it's enough for me as a family member to defend myself, and it won't matter if a demon worshiper makes such a claim. .

I know that too.

Xeon narrowed his eyes at my answer.

Like, what's wrong with him? It's like saying, 'Is it a problem that I left this god's piece of shit on the other side of the dimension?'

got stuck

I never really thought so, but it seems like I have a roughly similar thought.

"I'm just asking, just in case you're worried about me right now aren't you?"

"Why do you think no?"

Yeah, umm... Zion has already acquired a new body, isn't it?

Xeon frowned at my answer. It was a very disliked and unappealing expression.

Suddenly, I think it's been a long time since I've seen his expression so closely.

It was.

I don't think I've seen his face right away since I found out I wasn't Zion. All I could see was passing by.

Is that a reason why I shouldn't worry about you?

No, I can't. Why in the world people shouldn't worry about people? Come on, come on! Don't worry!

" it seems that my worries just disappeared."

It's such a sad thing...!

For some reason, he overdosed it a little bit, and Xeon put on a puzzled expression.

Now, stop talking nonsense and answer my questions.

If that's the case, I did it because it was a pity. As if to say, 'I'm one of the core of the demon cult. I know a lot.' Doesn't it look like something great will happen no matter what happens?"

It is different from the pyramids that have appeared so far.

They were those who knew the name of the Demon King. I feel like a giant.

Since he drank hardships one after another, it was highly probable that he would send a high-level person with a big heart this time.

I don't want to do anything that threatens my safety, but I can't help but feel regret.

"If it's such a problem, shouldn't we just report it?"

Report?

female].,,

How like that?!

I guess I was too tainted with fantasy thinking.

If there is a suspicious person, it is natural to report it first.

It is a shame for modern people to think of it only after hearing it from Xeon.

I had a time to reflect in my mind for 3 seconds. If you are a Korean, it is basic to know three times, so three seconds of reflection is enough.

'Security report is a security guard]! Report heresy to the denomination!'

The Heretic Inquisitor is not for nothing.

To deal with demons and their worshipers.

In the yard where there is even a specialized department dedicated to it, if you don't report this to the denomination, where are you going?

"How are you going to report it?"

I'm going to talk to Ollen, select a suitable person from among the informants, and pretend to be a believer who came to worship and deliver the letter.

"If it's Eollen , ah! Are you talking about the butler's granddaughter? But last time

'Didn't you give me your name?

I will write a letter asap.

Seeing Xeon's tired expression, I quietly got up from my seat and took an empty paper and pen from the drawer.

"What are you going to write?"

Why do I put on an anxious expression when I try to convey something?

I couldn't understand it at all.

I belong to the Self-proclaimed Tenebrio denomination.

These guys approached the deputy butler, said they thought something was on me, brought me here, and said bullshit that I had to swear at an unheard of Tenebrio.

When the Tenebrio Church was first launched in [Master of the Holy Sword], no one knew that 'Tenebrio' was the god of the Demon King.

When the Luxmea Church was shaken, and as a result, many pseudo-religions took over. I could pretend to be one of them.

Thanks to that, it is possible to attract ordinary people and increase the number of followers and increase in size in one breath.

there was.

When it became known that they were a demon-believing group, ordinary people had already turned into mad fanatics or had been sacrificed.

'But not anymore!'

If you know from the beginning that Tenebrio means the Demon King, your words will change.

If there is a person who says that he accepts the demon king as a god and worships him, most people who can think and judge normally will run away before they even hear the details.

'If you're the one who can't do that, you're already a devil

You are worshiping or will be worshiping in the future, so there is nothing you can do about it... .'

Even so, just by making it impossible to openly attract people, its power will definitely decrease compared to the Demon Cult of the [Master of the Holy Sword].

"Isn't this a little bit of pseudonym?"

Just writing the name of the denomination is already enough heresy.

No, that alone does not fit the heresy!

Where is that pseudo-religion?

It's just an ordinary religious group that spreads out flyers on the street.

They said to the deputy deacon, 'I am sorry for your brother's brother, and I am just trying to give you relief, and I am not trying to get anything.' They are also said to have said, 'Let's break down all the order established on the continent and move forward together in the new world that will follow soon.'"

Also, if it is a pseudonym, the word 'fate,' and the title 'brother, sister'. And then he said, 'I want to share good things with you.'

talk shouldn't be missed.

It would be perfect if we added the story of what the ancestors were saying, but it's a concept that doesn't apply in this world, so let's move on.

It's a new world, so that sounds like a dangerous word...

That's what a demon worshiper is talking about. That's what Genee says, huh.

As if convinced by what I said, Xeon kept her mouth shut instead of adding more gata buta.

After all, her skin looks like this

How was the crab?

My body is dry and my skin is empty, so I think I need to feed him a lot. What did Shion do without even eating her younger brother?

"And it would be nice if there was more evidence to confirm that the Tenebrio Church is a demonic religion, wouldn't it be nice to have a better way? The Lux Mea Church will run rampant even with the infidels, but if you don't see it as an ordinary heresy, you shouldn't be turned upside down. Because...

" I don't know."

If the person in this room was Serpens or Eugenes, ideas would have been pouring out.

Even now, I wondered if I should have summoned Eugenes.

"Ah, yes! 'Ma , no, Tenebrio-sama is the true God and order.

Si, it's a god...

"The future hope of the Demon King is 'God. Didn't you know?'

Plans for the future .

I'll prepare the sacrifices and tools needed to raise the chivalry, so should I use the saying that you bring money? No, this is too ugly and it's like another pseudonym pretending to be a demon worshiper. Right? Let's just leave this out.

If it's a serpent, you'll be like, 'That's right .' He would have nodded his head.

Xeon's head didn't even move.
