Duke, Please Repent! chapter 252

46. The Duke and the Suspicious... (4)

Then how about when you take over the principality, Sepi, and we go to the tower?

Just a few minutes before, Humanus, who had exclaimed that he would take over the principality, cautiously gave his opinion.

As if he was embarrassed by what he said, his facial muscles were awkwardly stiff.

I don't think that's a very good decision.

why?

As if it wasn't even worth reconsider, Serpence shook his head.

After that, Humanus' questions followed like a tag.

Maybe it's a two-way operation. Bind the master of the Holy Sword and his companions to the Principality

"Are you saying that your goal is to target my sister?!"

I'm assuming so.

Anima got excited and intervened in her sister's business.

What should I do with the Illuminati being suspicious? Jimin is simply denying reality out of anxiety.

Everyone knows that the more you cherish and depend on it, the more your value as a hostage increases.

'Looking at the Serpence', huh.'

Anima is also suffering from separation anxiety.

Even if it doesn't, I'm uneasy because I'm forcibly separated from my guardian, but I've even heard that the guardian could be wrong.

I understand even if you are denial and angry

there's nothing you can't do

If the crybaby fence had been in the same situation, it would have been crying.

"As Your Highness said, if I go to the Principality and you go to the Tower. The demon worshipers who think their plans have been found out do not know what kind of sudden action they will take. Otherwise, there is a possibility of committing a vicious thing that is hard to imagine "

Even though Serpence was just talking about the possibility, it seemed like it was a sin to tell such a story.

He lowered his gaze and hid his sad eyes with rich eyelashes, and said with a pitiful face.

Seeing him, the holy sword party trembled at the wickedness of the demon worshiper and expressed their anger.

' Wait a minute. From what I hear, it's a bit strange, isn't it?'

According to Serpens, it sounds like the demons are aiming for Anima's sister right away.

However, it was much later that she became involved in the demon summoning.

The Empire fell and the Volta Mountains

It happened after the system was broken, so this year, Hubin at the earliest. It's late next year.

It's unlikely that the demons will hit the right timing and cause an accident, but I won't touch it so hastily as it can trigger Nima's awakening.

'Because he was the type of person who would kill himself without delay if he thought that he might be caught by a demon and used as an anima.'

I won't do anything about kidnapping, killing, or using it as a devil's vessel.

However, it was awakened in [Master of the Holy Sword]

When you think of Nima's 'sister's revenge!' on her lips and bursting with magic... .

It seems like the devil king cub, who knows the love between the two, will do something.

Anyway, to conclude, Akseung hasn't done anything yet.

In other words, the current Serpens are framing them.

Principality work aside, it's a two-way operation?

Kidnapped ordinary people to attract attention, and behind the scenes, to the small person of the Holy Sword party.

Crabs are demonic!

There is no such thing as completely irresistible garbage.

'But they're basically bad guys, aren't they?'

My kid might talk a little bit behind the scenes.

However, I saw it with the intention of preventing elements that could become a threat in the future in advance.

I will definitely save Pruitto-san's precious people.

Yeah, Sepi is a trustworthy person. I'll assure you.

At Serpens's words, even Humanus stood up to help, and she nodded as if she understood too.

But, like Serpens, who was told not to fight with me, Anima's expression became depressed.

She bowed her head with a sullen face.

Dirty demon worshipers... I'll kill them all

Contrary to her gloomy expression, her voice was full of enthusiasm.

Anima, who had been muttering alone like that, suddenly shook her head at what she was thinking.

hit the

Doesn't that mean that demon worshipers can't get caught up in their plans, no matter who's heading to the tower, it's just as dangerous?!

If that's the problem, you don't have to worry. You still had to go abroad. All you have to do is pretend to stay there and sneak out.

I wondered why he was talking about the tower right now. I guess I was just thinking of stopping by on my way to a foreign country.

This child came out to meet a friend,

Go to a cafe and drink the seasonal promotional drink that you have fortified, stop by a pharmacy on the way home to buy an over-the-counter medicine, and shop at the mart.

It is obviously extremely efficient.

"A foreign country? Where? What else did your father make you?"

No. I think I'll have to order a new sword, so I'm going to visit the Terrarum Kingdom.

At Serpens's words, Humanus glanced at the holy sword with a sinful expression.

Either way, Serpens is a holy sword

Without giving him a single glance, he pulled out an old sword from his pocket.

This is the first sword I see.

The luxurious handle stood out, but there were so many teeth that it could not be regenerated and there were incontinence here and there.

It seems better to melt it and make a new one than to rewrite it.

"Is this the sword you used to fight the devil this time?"

Yes. This is a good sword as it is, but it can't withstand the clash of magic and divine power properly and it has become like this.

I did. There are a few dwarven swords my ancestors used, but they didn't fit me well... .

It'd be better to set it up sooner rather than later before a stronger demon appears.

I think so too.

I listened to Serpens and looked closely, but it was the first sword I had ever seen.

It was similar in shape and length to the sword he used in the dark district, but the hik design was slightly different.

In short, it means that you are cheating by breaking the sword of Ammon.

Still, he got the right sword

It's true that I have to dance.'

Also, in order to process the Holy Stone, you have to go to the Terram Kingdom.

For that reason, I decided to turn a blind eye to his fraudulent practices.

"Surely] Most people stay nearby and check the process until the sword is completed, so people won't think it's strange either."

Humanus murmured and nodded his head slightly.

The cost of entrusting a dwarf to a dwarf for production is enormous, so he stalks around until it is complete.

there were a lot of people

There were some Dwarves who were offended by meddling in the craftsman's work, but since it's personalized, most of them do, and it seems to confirm the work in the middle.

When it comes to custom suits, it is similar to trying on clothes that have been sewn on before they are finished.

"But if you want to visit the tower, you don't have time to watch the production process, right?"

When placing an order, please be specific and it will be fine.

I'm kind of sorry...

Serpence is a joke when it comes to swords.

Aji smiled quietly at Humanus, and put the shattering sword into the pocket of Aspace.

Judging by the fact that he had prepared a broken sword on purpose, he must have attached Humanus and his party to the Empire, saying that they had to monitor the Volta Mountains even if they were not working in the Principality.

He must be too, because he hasn't touched Nima's older sister, who isn't a demon yet.

You may have a plan, but you don't know what it is.

I sent Humanus and his party for nothing.

If the monkey's proboscis is not seen, the reliability of the information provided by the Illuminati will suffer in the future.

If that's the case, that's fine... , I guess.

I felt a little sorry, but I guess I didn't want to show off, the Anima said, pretending to be arrogant.

"So the question is can you tell me about him?"

...the dubious group didn't give you any information?

It is considered not polite to give and receive other people's personal information.

I bowed. After all, isn't it Mr. Pruito who knows him best? In many ways, I decided it was better to hear directly from Mr. Fruy Toh than with a third party."

''What , you know... !

When do you pretend to be arrogant and put on a pouty face?

Anima, who was overcome by Serpence's cowardice theory, raised her nose and shrugged her shoulders.

Perhaps he thought that she had recognized his friend, and Humanus was also proud.

My sister's name is Edna Benevolen, and she's twenty-nine.''

At last, I was able to find out her name, which was wrapped in a veil.

Jimshi is also deeply moved.

His hair is a friendly dark brown and his eyes are soft lavender, and you don't know how pretty they are! It's a color that goes well with my sweet and gentle sister. It's soft and smells good...

Useless TMI started pouring out. The speed of the horse increased.

His party, including Humanus, made a familiar expression.

It seems that the pride of Anima's older sister that I saw occasionally in [Master of the Holy Sword] was only a small part.

Serpence took her pride with one ear, and nodded her head in response.

"Is there any place that Mr. Benevolen often visits or visits regularly?"

Without letting the Anima catch her breath for a moment, Serpens quickly asked a question.

Ah, yes! I spent a while at the orphanage before my sister came to the tower...

Finally, useful information began to appear.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], her sister's use as a devil's vessel is closely related to the nursery school where she came from.

The head of the orphanage joined the demon cult and tried to sacrifice the children there as a sacrifice to summon demons.

Edna's ability was significantly lower than that of the anima, but she was a capable wizard.

And because of that, it was marked as the devil's vessel.

'Was it a ploy to shake up the anima from the beginning, or was it destined to become that way even if it wasn't an anima .'

Anyway, the day she visited the nursery, the plan was put into action.

As usual, the nursery school arrived with presents and snacks, filled with screams instead of the laughter of children.

Ordinary members of the Demon Church, disguised as robbers, say they want to make a living.

Pretending to loot, killing children and trampling on toys.

Edna saw the scene and went wild and killed them.

The moment she gathered the corpses of dead children and embraced them.

The demon summoning circle that the demon had hidden was activated, and the demon permeated the rift in the mind caused by the deaths of children.

He provoked the flames of anger that did not go out even after completing revenge.

So she became the devil's vessel.

'Aren't you supposed to call me a scum worshiper at this point, not a demon worshiper?'

While I was chewing on the bastards while looking back on what was said in [Master of the Holy Sword].

Serpens found out the name of Edna's orphanage from Anima and the area where it was located.

Since the head of the orphanage is related to Tsusungi, it is likely that he is trying to use it as evidence that the Tsusung forces tried to attack Edna.

"When are you planning to leave?

are you?"

After obtaining all the necessary information, Serpens asked Humanus about the future schedule before the Anima spoke again.

I'm going to leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow morning. Sepi, how about you?

I plan to leave as soon as possible this week.

Surprised by Serpence's answer, the rest of them looked at him blatantly without realizing it.

How could it be that it was strange to plan an overseas trip without saying a word to me?

'It must have all been a dog trick to avoid shouting handsome in the mansion's concourse!'

If you thought that I would pass you over because it was outside the mansion, you would be greatly mistaken.

It's just that the mansion's concourse is changed to another place.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have told Sir Zion first...

It's like this auger fence!

Just try not to fill in 10 good points. I will definitely not leave it alone.
