Chapter 400

Episode 400 One person (6)

“If you become a devil to catch a devil, what do you think will remain after that?”



I still don’t know why Sakpung had such extreme thoughts. However, it was as if I could see what would happen if it were revealed.

“That’s why I had no choice but to burn it. “I had no choice but to do it even though I knew that the fire would burn all the products we had accumulated, consume my research, and possibly engulf the wizards who were unable to escape.”

“Arch Mage...”

“Of course, I told everything to the castle lord in the end. Although he did not say what research he had done, it was clear from the burn marks that he had violated what taboo he had committed...” What the

merciless Sakpung did could not and could not be hidden. Therefore, she confessed everything except the fact about what kind of research he had done. She had no choice but to do it to ease her guilt.

“Fortunately or unfortunately... the castle lord did not hold me responsible. It could be because the wizards testified to what I had done... or it could be because I thought it was a bit wrong to fight off the wizards when you don’t know when the demons will attack.”

It was the same when she said she needed to monitor her wizards.

Although the castle lord followed her advice and placed a watcher, he did not carelessly suspect or execute a single wizard. Just because they were a valuable force and the demons at the time showed some signs of movement.

“What did you say? You said you definitely covered it up earlier...”

“That shouting was not conveying the fact that you were involved, but rather raising suspicion that it might be the case. And confidence and assumption are clearly different. “Isn’t that right?”

All the evidence is gone, so I guess he has a favor to ask. I couldn’t bear to say that everyone was involved.

However, I feel too anxious to just let everyone go without any worries.

“They said Sakpung only partially used their research... but someone may have knowingly cooperated with them. I wanted to rule out that possibility as much as possible. “I don’t have anything to say about burning all the evidence, but I didn’t want to repeat the same foolish thing.”

Since she spoke of it like a hypothesis with the magic word “if” in front, not even the dead Sakpung would be able to criticize her.

She really tried to do everything she thought was best. There is no time to know now whether it was truly the best or not.

“Despite those efforts, the White Crow succeeded in stealing some data.”

“Wait a minute, was that person your disciple?”

“It wasn’t mine. And the word ‘disciple’ doesn’t fit. “He was a wandering wizard who entrusted himself to our magic tower after reading a paper written by the cold-hearted Sakpung.”

It’s a bit more horizontal to be a disciple, and there’s frequent interaction to be a customer. That was the relationship between Sakpung and the crow.

“How...did he steal it?”

“At that time, he also cooperated in burning down the magic tower. Considering him, stealing the data was probably something he did at that time. “I personally burned the main materials, so he was able to edit them, so there were only a few of them at best.”

Even when I checked it this time, the data wasn’t that great. Even that seems to have been quite helpful to him as a life-type wizard, but at least it must be said that he could not reach demonization with that data.

If it was heavenly luck, it was heavenly luck. If the crow had thought about demonization research or had received a hint about it, the number of people who suffered from it would have increased even more.

“How can you be sure that White Crow doesn’t know that?”

“I’m sure because I received the information this time and asked about it. “If he knew the real topic, he wouldn’t have provided the data at all.”

This is an issue that could even lead to execution if you try to get to the bottom of it. There isn’t even a special loyalty between her and him. If I had known about this, I would have kept my mouth shut and pretended not to know.

“...Inquisitor, do you think I have done something foolish?”

“...I don’t think it’s morally right. “Regardless of the dangers of the research data, we don’t know how many people’s crimes may have been buried under the ashes.”

but. The young man continued speaking with a pained face.

“I don’t understand Archmage’s choice. “The northern wizards I’ve seen tend to cross the line rather easily.”

What would have happened if those who even committed human experimentation knew of the existence of the research called demonization? Just because he was an Inquisitor did not mean he did not know the consequences of that assumption.

Although it may be more inaccurate and unclear than the Archmage, it can at least predict a bad direction.

“The White Crow... although there are still some doubts left, he seems like a great person who would have had this accident in the end even if he had not cooperated with the research at the time.”

“Is that so.”

“...so I will close my eyes to today’s conversation.”

Therefore, she decided to use the flexibility she had acquired over her long journey. It may be a judgment influenced by emotions, but we are now accepting the commandments anyway. Even if you let go of the Archmage’s long past, nothing major will happen.

“I just want to thank you for telling me now what I could have ignored forever.”

In the end, the Inquisitor accepted the Archmage’s confession and the old man’s eyelids slowly closed.

“How can it be love that isn’t directed at just one person?”

[#$%#@$#$.]

Hmm... There is such a thing as a multiple-person relationship in the world, but this is not a multiple-person relationship, but a courtship through coercion such as violence, threats, and psychological domination, so it doesn’t mean much.

A multi-party relationship with mutual consent is an area of respect, but coercive courtship is beyond the scope of understanding and is just a crime.

Remembering that, I waved my middle finger at Asmodeus once again.

Koh -young bastard. The fundamental cause is the fact that she fell into hell, but you are also one of the causes of the tragedy, you damned criminal.

“I can not believe it.”

However, this development is a bit disconcerting.

I saw the only human in hell suddenly grab Asmodeus by the collar. Huh. Asmodeus, with a questioning look in his eyes as to whether he had sorted out the fleeting thought, obediently followed the weak fist.

“So prove your love so I can believe it.”

Her hand grasped the blade that was hidden beneath her upper body and buttocks.

Swish!

I was a little taken aback when I saw the dagger that suddenly appeared, but I became even more shocked when I saw that the sword was pointed at Asmodeus’ heart.

When did you get that and how did you come up with this plan?

Kang!

“...!”

However, before my surprise could subside, the blade was stopped by the cloth Asmodeus wore. It was similar to cutting down a rock with a fruit knife. There are no scratches on the rock, but the person who took the picture felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

“Ugh...”

[#$@%^#$%]

Asmodeus looked worried as she dropped the blade and grabbed her wrist. I can’t bear to touch it, but it seems like worry is dripping from its eyes. It’s abominable.

“...were you expecting it?”

[#@$%^$#%.]

Although she probably felt the same way as me, she asked calmly instead of getting annoyed. Asmodeus fluttered his long eyelashes and immediately nodded.

Well, if it was natural, it was natural. If it weren’t for this situation, the Great Devil probably wouldn’t have known what I would have sensed in advance.

“Then why did you hit me?”

[#$@%#@$#$.]

The only thing that is questionable is that she is not completely ignorant of this fact as she has seen it too....

“Okay, I will admit it this time. “You love me more than you think.”

Or is it because of stress?

“get out. “I don’t want to face you anymore today.”

[...#@#$%@#.]

No, that won’t happen. I was sure of that much. If the only human in hell was this broken, there is no way the future would be like that.

thud.

With that said, Asmodeus took his dagger and left the room. The man who lost his name is now alone, with even the sword he had prepared taken away.

“ah.”

And after being silent for a long time, she opened her lips.

“You’re saying they’ll look after me even if I stab you with a knife, right?”

Also, what flows between open lips is a voice filled with subtle laughter.

“Okay devil. “Let’s have a great love.”

deception. Then I remembered another name she had.
