Chapter 707 – #142_The Witch of Gold Coins (3)
#707
One.
Gehenna begins to redecorate her face in the season of fresh green as the sun of a calm spring day slowly tans her skin.
The temperature is not too hot yet.
A clear blue sky where the sky is clear and transparent.
The wind that brushes the leaves and tickles her cheeks is bound to make even the grumpy witch who is holed up in her closet smile generously.
However, is it the reason why the strange tension and silence flowing in the room formed the low pressure?
Dark dark clouds hung over the sky over the mansion of Jemoni.
-Shoot it
Albireo looked up with pensive eyes at the sky pouring rain as if weeping.
On the table are wine, a quill, and a pile of papers.
It doesn’t look much different from usual, but it’s too messy to be Albireo’s desk who prefers neat work.
It’s like showing her inner feelings instead.
“Ha….”
Even the sighs of the twins that sometimes make the ground sink deep.
Even Deneb, who is drunk and does not think of leaving the room.
Even the behavior of Sharon and Amelia, which clearly shows that they are considerate considering Albireo’s guilt.
Her sigh has many causes, but in the end, the cause boils down to one.
The son-in-law went out to the present world and disappeared.
Also, the reason he went to the present world is because Albireo forced him halfway into the present world.
Leruy could afford to pay the donation himself.
Albireo was sent out under the pretext of testing him, and it is true that much of the bad feelings were involved in this process.
It was nasty from the beginning.
He is a bastard who stole not one but two of Odile and Odette, but there is no day when he doesn’t want a woman around him.
She caused all sorts of worries, but it wasn’t enough to show up with a new lover, and even bewitched her little mother-in-law and made her say things like ‘I feel sorry for my sister who doesn’t know love!’
“I’m going to turn around, really.”
Albireo prided himself on being a reasonable person, and the truth was not much different.
The proof is that the ugly son-in-law was still keeping his life alive.
When you look at it from such a rational point of view.
Shin Si-woo’s arrest is a matter of consequence.
If this case is a case that must be won, I was confident that I would prove my innocence even if a court were to stand.
With Duke Tiphareth by his side, who knew what trouble might arise?
I don’t intend to pass the blame on to the duke who is in grief, but strictly speaking, the greatest negligence must be on the Duke of Tiphareth, who failed to prevent his disappearance by failing to take proper measures on the spot.
However, even so, the debt consciousness in the heart cannot be completely put down.
If human relationships had been cut neatly with a ruler, the world would have been much simpler than it is now.
Albireo vividly remembered Deneb’s reaction after the news of Shiu’s disappearance came.
‘It’s because of my sister.’
The eyes of fierce resentment.
‘If her sister hadn’t driven Siwoo out, this wouldn’t have happened.’
Albireo has a bold personality and doesn’t blink an eye at the slightest threat, but the moment he receives Deneb’s resentment, he feels as if the ground is extinguished.
It was because he had quarreled with Deneb over big and small matters since he was young, but he had never received sincere anger or resentment.
‘I’m sorry, sister…. Sorry…. I guess I’m out of my mind….’
‘No, because you would be surprised too. It’s also my fault.’
Deneb, who had come to his senses, shed tears and begged for forgiveness.
That didn’t mean Albireo’s shock went away.
She is the head of a great county family and a great witch who has lived for a long time, but the resentment of her flesh and blood hurts so much.
After that, Deneb never came out of his room.
It was not enough to have an immoral love for her son-in-law, and she even lashed out at her older sister, whom she loved.
Even when she thinks of Deneb struggling with her sense of shame and despair of loss, she cannot bear to claim her innocence.
She therefore devoted all her energy to her search.
Should she get the hang of it because she’s only done it a while ago?
Under the leadership of Albireo, who became the commander, his whereabouts and survival itself were discovered in just a few days.
But the problem lies next.
The one who kidnapped him is the ‘Sword Witch’.
The place where they were kidnapped was the city of exploits, ‘Hexenacht’.
The very existence of Hexsenacht was known.
Until the first word came out, it was thought to be a minor commotion caused by Keter’s absence.
Not just Albireo, but everyone else.
However, the city, which has grown explosively in a few months by absorbing exiles and exploits, has become equipped with a level of danger similar to that of Qliphoth in its heyday.
The exploits of Qliphoth, who had become infamous, were reunited with this city as an opportunity, and about half of the total exiles joined them.
As a result, the number of Archwitches presumed to be staying in Hexsenacht reached three digits.
If we talk about the absolute number of people, even if it is less than Gehenna, if you assume that most of the exiles and exploits are sifted and filtered in fierce battles, it is impossible to break through head-on.
It’s not that there aren’t any achievements in the 23rd rank, and if you can just hit the ranks with your rank, Duke Tiphareth wouldn’t have to suffer every time in the subjugation of South American achievements.
Even if they succeed in breaking through the depths at the end of a miracle, it is no different from a failed plan at the point of view that the safety of the hostages cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, we are currently trying to contact Hexsenacht secretly….
Even this is sluggish.
No matter how hard the Zemanai family is, there is a limit to the point of contact with the exploits, so they are stranded in a situation where there is no way to use their hands.
In a situation where I couldn’t do this or that, the rain was still flowing outside the window.
2.
I made the same mistake again.
Drenched in the joy of dating just the two of them, he was unable to prepare for any eventuality.
Even if I was nervous all day, I was going to have a good time in the camper.
Rather than being satisfied with the guardian’s contract, if only he had been more vigilant.
No, if it had been stopped from the moment he said he would come out to the present world.
Would the results have been different?
No one is to blame.
All is the responsibility of Eloah Tiphareth, the foolish and foolish teacher.
In front of my eyes, the disciple whom I decided not to lose again after repeating the mistake that should never be repeated was senselessly taken away.
If it had been before Eloah met Siu, there would have been no mistakes caused by her complacency.
This is punishment
Because the sinner who had to live without being forgiven for the rest of his life dreamed of love.
Because I knew happiness in the subject of a promise to live for atonement and repentance for the rest of my life.
The punishment given for being rusted, weak, and dull.
After Siu’s disappearance, Eloa sorted out her ties.
She left letters of her apology to Amelia, to Sharon, and to her twin, and she departed alone.
I didn’t want to involve anyone else in such a dangerous thing.
I wanted to take responsibility.
You can’t attack blindly without any preparation.
A cheap life is not worth it.
It is to be perfect because a single failure will threaten his safety.
Eloa secretly attacked any outcasts who did not join Hexsenacht or witches who knew the inside story.
And the exploits had to face how far the enraged Tiphareth could run wild in the face of the danger of losing a disciple again.
In just over three weeks, Tiphareth returned to Gehenna after capturing the three exploits.
It was to repair the consumed mana and go out again.
Eloa, who was about to return to the present world, leaving Count Albireo to interrogate his exploits, faced an unexpected situation.
“Sorry. Thi, Prince Tiphareth’s right to leave the country is temporarily suspended.”
“What did you say?”
The reaction of the Immigration Officer, whom I have always known, seemed to be disrespectful.
Gehenna’s ‘door’ was perfect magic, but recently it had a lot of minor glitches.
It was not uncommon for the back door to open, and there were cases where the function was paralyzed and the portal could not be used for maintenance reasons.
But a temporary suspension of the right to leave the country?
One o’clock is urgent.
There is no time to waste on this occasion.
Eloa did not make a loud noise or cause a commotion.
He just calmly showed cold anger.
“Tell me again.”
However, even without intending it, her eyes were glistening with white flesh.
His life rested on the perilously swollen rock of endurance, and it looked as if it would collapse at the slightest loss of balance.
“Mo, I’m very sorry…. Duke Tiphareth cannot leave this world!”
The image came to her of a sword pulled from her waist and cutting her throat, even though she knew it wouldn’t happen.
Nevertheless, the Immigration Director closed his eyes tightly and fulfilled his mission.
Hearing that answer, which seemed to scream in fright, Tiphareth realized that he was persecuting the stern and gave up his life.
But the impatience and impatience don’t go away.
“Why?”
“This is the consensus of the Sephiroth.”
Upon hearing her words, her anger welled up.
Although it is said to be the consensus of the Sephiroth, even Eloa knows who has the real power after Keter went into seclusion.
Wasn’t it proved earlier in Amelia’s trial?
“Is this an order from Duke Erelim?”
“…….”
Eloah, who had left behind the unspoken affirmation of immigration, headed straight to Duke Erelim of the Truth and Truth Name Conference.
Her steps and breathing were very rough.
3.
Meanwhile, at that time, Akula was noisy with the advice of L’Rue, who was trying to recapture Siu immediately after completing her ordeal, and Dorothy’s advice to tear it apart.
“Dorothy! You don’t believe in Jim and Akula’s fighting power! Hurry up and tell me where the harbor is!”
“Queen, it’s not like that.”
“What are you trying to solve so hard! This is Jim’s plan.”
Leruet raised his baton and pointed at the paper.
“They said that Hexsenacht is a city with a vertical structure and there is a sea on the bottom floor. Is that right?”
“Yes, that’s right for now.”
“Look at that! All the seas in the world are my territory, so I also have a geographical advantage. First, I will take the submarine to the dock in Hexsenacht and give it a taste of the nuclear shower. After that, wouldn’t it be okay if we took advantage of the chaos to rescue Shin Si-woo?”
“Yes, then no.”
“Why!”
When the excitement of completing the ordeal and the excitement of learning that Siu was kidnapped overlapped, Dorothy said that she had to explain the situation while reading L’Ruere, who seldom calmed down.
