Duke, Please Repent! chapter 227

43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (2)

Thoughts that I should have left it alone ran through my head for a moment... .

'By the way, Serpens didn't do anything bad, did he?'

If I scolded the bad guys, I was punished, and I didn't do anything wrong.

There's nothing to be embarrassed about.

'If you have any questions, you should ask them from time to time! How difficult is it to answer

If you leave your curiosity unattended for a long time, it will be strangely twisted and turned into a misunderstanding, and one day you may hit the back of the head.

Thinking like that, I think I did a good job of waking up and asking.

That's what it is... Wouldn't it be easier to understand if I explained the background first?

I'd appreciate it if you could.

Although not known abroad, cancer has long been a troublesome problem for the Empire. It is certain that it exists, but you have to be able to find out exactly where it is located? So, Serpence was in charge of the investigation. It was just a spectacle. Do I have to say that it is the perfect environment for a parasitic monkey to live?

Oh, I guess you know.

Contrary to his answer, he had a cryptic expression on his face, but he said he knew, so he grabbed hold of it and explained something.

It's not that important, so let's skip it.

Anyway, demon worshipers will try to summon demons, and the election is based on the decision that the safety of the public should be prioritized over criminals. But let's just leave the dark streets alone, the slaves we talked about earlier or drugs. Serpence was forced to step forward because people who had nothing to do with it suffered damage "

What about Zion?

The 1, who is hard at work explaining to Winston, Euges raises his hand again

lifted up and hugged me.

"Yes? Me? Why me?"

"Isn't Zion the one who assumed that demons would be summoned to the dark side and came up with a plan to manage it?"

,,...Yes?

All of a sudden, I don't know what kind of dog grass it is, and I don't know if it's the sound of knocking on a pongchang.

Naturally, my gaze turned to Serpens.

'Now, Euges seems to be making strange noises. Why did such a misunderstanding arise?'

Serpence, who received my gaze, raised his hand slightly with a look of helplessness.

He'll explain it for you, so he asks Eugenes to look after him.

Thus, 'raising hands' was adopted as an official expression of expression at the Illuminati Conference.

At that time, it was before it was revealed that Zion was a messenger of the gods. It was my guess that Zion said that it was her own reasoning.

"Is that so?"

Yeah, what I discovered was

This was before Zion became my aide.

I now understand why Euges found my existence in Serpence's Dark Street pacification.

It was because I thought that Serpens had taken over the place because I said that a demon would be summoned in the dark.

'It must have been a setting error!'

I was talking here and there, and I started to get confused about who, what, and how much.

It is even more complicated because several settings are glued together.

Sometime I have to catch me and organize it, I can't do it like this.

Actually... I wasn't sure of my guess until he revealed and confirmed his abilities. I thought the possibility was high, but the possibility is only a possibility, isn't it?

Serpens acted out his characteristic pitiful expression and spoke in a voice without confidence.

I take drugs to fill in the hole in my settings to protect my settings

there is

The fact that I was disobeying His Majesty's orders was very sinful, and I always wondered if I was doing well. Is it possible that they are blinding the crime with the cause of the cause? . Every day was very painful and painful."

It's not like he's making up words that don't exist at all. In fact, he was tossing around in contradiction.

but.

'What's wrong with breaking the rules?

You must be creeping.'

can be predicted

It was a word that was brought out to conjure up loyalty to the emperor, conscious of the knight Winston.

In fact, it is safe to say that the words added after it are auxiliary verbs to decorate it.

It's okay for Serpens to have a little more confidence in her decisions. There were good reasons to think so. Serpens did not get any benefit from cancer or anything Above all, am I here?

Euges spoke as if exposing Serpens.

As if she didn't know she was going to say something like this, there was a bit of embarrassment on Serpence's face.

'You should have heard it when I told you to do some self-deprecation.'

Saying such things makes me feel sad, but if someone who cares about the person who says it listens to it, the billionaire collapses.

He learned a good lesson today.

Not only me, but that version of Serpence

However, he regained his life that had been stolen by many people. so .

Oh, I see. I made a speech mistake.

Serpens hastily interrupted Eugene's words.

However, he could not do anything until his face was red with embarrassment and embarrassment.

Eugenes, who met that face, laughed out loud, and the guy pretended to drink tea without heat.

It is truly a delightful sight.

" What kind of shit is this?"

Winston couldn't hide his bewilderment and asked me in a quiet whisper.

"The first place we met Euges was in a dark street. Serpens saved me from being sold into slavery."

After listening to my explanation, Win Stone let out a short exclamation.

Oh, that's right! For reference, externally, there is a setting that the Illuminati scouted the rulers of the dark districts, and the scouted rulers of the dark districts scouted Serpens as the Illuminati spokespersons.

" what did you just say?"

Winston asked again if I didn't understand properly because I repeated the word too many times.

I condensed and organized the same content as much as possible in my head and opened my mouth.

The setting is that the Illuminati received the Amhokga long ago, and Serpens was scouted as a spokesperson for the Illuminati around July.

Why is that...

"Are you doing anything complicated?"

That's right.

You're a secret society, aren't you? You have to have some degree of mystery!

In response to my answer, Eugene nodded with satisfaction, and Serpens shook his head.

Incidentally, Winston had an expression that wanted to hear what kind of dog this was.

The Illuminati is an organization centered on Zion, the messenger of the gods, not me, the Duke of the Empire. As I said before, I do not belong to any one country. If it turns out that I am one of the key figures of the Illuminati,

Naturally, the Illuminati's actions will also be tied to the Empire.

It is always the responsibility of the person who regrets to step forward.

Serpens opened his mouth to explain why he had created such a setting.

"However, communication always comes when you need it. That's why I called myself a spokesperson. If I was just passing along, wouldn't it be possible to reject any unreasonable request?

He calmly controls the rate and the voice he speaks is very immersive.

Winston nodded with a look of understanding enough, and thanked the master for his kind explanation.

Do you have any other questions?

"That , heh heh."

Serpens asked Winston, acting as a caring master.

When asked the question, he was about to say something, but suddenly coughed as if he was speechless.

Seeing that, Serpens tilted his head and tilted his head.

Sir Redford?

Oh! Oh, nothing.

I heard a question about how it can be so irritating that there is something to be concerned about.

It's questionable, but did you think that asking questions even though the other person is trying to hide it is against your setting?

Serpence was obsolete and didn't point it out.

It's the four of us going to the dark side.

Only?"

Winston hurriedly asked the question, as if he had suddenly remembered it. Anyone could clearly see that the purpose was to turn the talk.

To put it bluntly, he didn't even seem curious.

Yes, I think it should.

Isn't the old man going with you?

For a moment, I wondered who the title "senior" was referring to, but without thinking for a long time, the answer came out quickly.

"I think that place is the past Luxmea.

Since it is a sacred site of the denomination, I think it would be very shocking if the uncle saw the current state of it... . Even if it's not, someone has to protect the mansion, right?

As Serpens said, if you show such a scene to a former heretic inquisitor, your eyes may turn.

It is right to leave it behind not only to protect the health of the people in the duke's house, but also to protect Eirich's mental health.

You know how to think like this, and it's amazing.'

Of course, the holy land where he has fallen is just

Maybe the reason I didn't want to let them know that I was watching them also played a part.

'Strictly speaking, should I say that he had in mind that he would be shocked and disappointed by his own actions?'

But that doesn't mean that everything Serpens said is a lie.

The underlying desire was that those who had a crush on him would not be hurt, either mentally or physically.

Anyway, Eirich guarded the mansion.

It is unfortunate in many ways.

At least, there won't be a development like I came here after dealing with the devil, and the house was gone.

By the way, I have a question for you.

As I slowly raised my hand and spoke, Serpens nodded, suggesting that he speak.

Did you hear when they're going to summon demons, or have you picked up anything?

Isn't it Zion who said we should have a meeting before the end of the year because the devil will be summoned soon?

I know the approximate time, but I don't know the exact date of execution. Even at that time, I'm not sure what will happen because there are variables involved, so I suggested a meeting to discuss the matter.

At my words, Serpens looked at me asking if it was something like that, and I responded with a look that said it was.

"It would not be pleasant for the masters of the Holy Sword to join the party, so the timing itself will not change. I will try to summon him as soon as possible."

Ah, so it is.

Even if it rots, the word Junchi is not for nothing.

In fact, even if it was just a bastard that had strange knowledge or instilled in Serpens, the fact that he was the master of the holy sword did not change.

The strength of the group, including Anima, is considerable.

In many ways, the devil's side only wanted to prevent us from joining forces with the Holy Swords party.

"Then I think the time would be around early to mid-January. But is that so?"

After all, it was the beginning again.

So, for the time being, I'd like to think about living in a dark area.

Yeah?! What?

" I'm sorry, but I think I heard it wrong, can you say it again?"

I and Euges doubted our ears and asked Serpens, but .

Given the reaction, it seems that you have heard it correctly.

The results did not change.
