Chapter 221: The Sage Learns the Identity of the Savior

I observed the people who were responsible for causing the riot.

They were maintaining their silence despite being restrained by ropes.

It seemed they were paralyzed with fear as I had suddenly appeared in front of them.

When I looked at them, they hurriedly turned their eyes away.

I had forgotten about it recently since the executives were so casual while accepting it, but my appearance was that of a black skeleton.

Coupled with the power I exuded, it would appear scary if seen from the outside perspective.

It was natural for the general public to feel frightened.

I cut straight to the point while being cautious to not intimidate them.

I came here because I heard there was a riot. I heard you people were responsible for it, is there no mistake in that?

There was no reply.

It wasnt like they were doing that to express rejection.

It seemed they were admitting to what they had done.

When I looked at the merchant-like man in the group, I crouched down and spoke to him.

I have something to ask.

W-what is it?

The man showed an anxious expression.

My abilities were widely known.

He understood the fact that I could transform into an undead just out of whim.

Obviously, I had no such intention, but I would make use of that if it made it easier for the man to talk.

You people here claim that the Savior has descended. Please tell me more about it.

T-thats

The man didnt continue his words as his expression turned bitter.

He seemed to have an answer, but something was intentionally being hidden.

Does that mean you cant answer?

Thats not it! It's just, I just dont think its something worthy for the Demon Lord-sama to knowgh.

Ill judge myself whether its worth it or not. All you need to do is answer my question. Do you understand?

Y-yes

The man gave up and nodded.

However, it is true that it caused a fuss. A fine would be a reasonable punishment. I have no intention to punish you beyond that. Is there any objection?

The room turned silent.

The people seemed to be reflecting on their conduct.

There was no need to preach to them about it.

Now that they had learned their lesson, they wouldnt try to attempt something similar.

I called out to the spy.

Ill leave the rest to you. Im returning to the castle.

I understand. Thank you for your hard work.

I left the bowing spy behind and transferred away.

The destination was the sky above the city.

As I moved in the air, I pondered.

To think the identity of the Savior was just innumerable good people.

It wasnt like people helping others was an uncommon situation.

It was something that could happen regardless of where one was.

The people who had saved all of them were surely not the same person.

It was just a series of similar events that had taken place.

It was just a coincidence, so to speak.

Such trivial good intentions were impressive.

Perhaps the people who had caused the riots were people who were easily impressed by such things.

As a result of such people gathering and getting excited, it produced a vague effect that was close to mass hypnosis.

The vague object of their gratitude had become a clear figure in the form of a savior.

There was no malice there.

However, I had a bad feeling about this.

I cant just ignore this incident.

Those series of people helping others had led to a riot as a result.

Although I didnt feel any kind of scheme, I did feel it was just the beginning.

This kind of feeling should never be underestimated.

It seemed it was better to have this city investigated carefully just in case.
