Chapter 40 – Meetings That Should Not Be Met (2)
Beinan stared blankly down at her crystal ball her, then raised her head again to look at me before opening her mouth as if she did n’t understand.
“Are you asking me to tell the bishop that I bought this?”
“That’s not it. Then, won’t you arouse the church’s suspicion?”
“Then what did you just say?”
I looked into Leviham’s eyes and said.
“I just want you to keep it as if it were yours. I will attract the bishop’s attention, so take the crystal ball and enter the mansion. Just go to the office and put the crystal ball on the desk.”
You can see the crystal ball in Beinon’s hand from the location of Levi’s Ham, but you won’t be able to see her witch’s mark her.
It was necessary to aim for that point and turn it into an “Ordinary crystal ball bought for ornamental purposes.”
If you don’t check closely, you won’t know, so if you use the blind spot to quickly push Beinun into her mansion, everyone will have a happy ending.
Beynon, who understood my explanation, hid her crystal ball in her bosom her with her concerned face her.
“It’s not bad, but isn’t that exposing the young master to danger? The moment I was caught carrying the crystal ball, the boy’s plans would all be exposed, right? Isn’t it a felony to cheat the clergy?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? For the sake of the common good, one person must be sacrificed. If I get caught, I will bear it.”
“Ah. Therefore….”
Bainun let out a sigh and nodded at her.
“All right. If the young master draws attention, we will try to enter the mansion as quickly as possible.”
“Okay. Don’t trust me.”
Beinun, who exchanged some kind of gaze with her, noticed Levy Ham, and she quietly walked to the mansion.
On the contrary, I approached Leviham with a big smile.
Haha! Bishop Leviham! Long time no see!”
Leviham, who had been watching Bainen suspiciously, turned to me.
A fresh smile crept across Leviham’s lips as he faced me.
“Yes. Like you said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face. How have you been?”
“I got along just fine. It is thanks to the god of light taking good care of the family.”
“Fortunately, the. More than that, that driver is walking so fast because something happened…….”
Leviham’s gaze leans towards Bainon. The moment she looked back, it was disappointing, so I hurriedly spoke out.
“Ah! Ho, did you come here because of magic?”
“Magic? Ah.”
As if Leviham had forgotten for a moment, he turned his gaze to the magic circle engraved on the lawn.
The magic circle, which left marks as if burned by fire, was clear enough to be identified with the naked eye.
“That’s right. I’d like to have some discussion about it. I haven’t seen it myself, but I heard from the followers that a huge waterspout occurred and it rained in the Deharm family’s mansion.”
“Yes. It is thanks to the help of the Imperial Palace Magician from the Imperial Family and the Professor of the Magic Tower at the University.”
“He is humble. Aren’t they just lending a hand? The person who created the beginning of the miracle is none other than the head of Theorad. He is also the one who defies the decree of heaven.”
Leviham took his eyes off the magic circle and stared at me.
The figure with a faint smile makes her hands sweat with some uneasiness.
However, he did not show off and acted as calmly as possible. Leviham observed me like that for a while and then smiled rather mischievously.
“It’s a joke. Making it rain when you want it is to eventually benefit the world, so there is no way that it goes against the commandments of the god of light. I apologize if my jokes caused concern to the head of household.”
“Ah……. No. I’m worried. It doesn’t matter.”
The atmosphere is somewhat awkward. After a moment of embarrassment, I pointed to the mansion.
“Eat inside. The weather is not too good to stand outside for a long time. Please allow me to treat the bishop.”
“Thank you, but a self-professed servant of God cannot expect to be treated well.”
Can’t ask for a treat Levi Ham spoke in a mild tone, but he shouldn’t be fooled by that.
Not wanting to be treated is a common joke among priests.
I knew very well that there were not one or two families who believed that word and sent the priest back and went through hardships.
“Haha. To put it grandiosely, it’s a treat, just a cup of tea. Even the god of light will forgive you generously if it’s just a cup of tea.”
When I suggested it again, Levi Ham nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
“Since you say that, I will take care of you.”
“Then I will escort you to the drawing room.”
I’m glad I didn’t get rejected.
I let out a sigh of relief and volunteered to be the guide for the Levi.
Normally, Harvey is supposed to do this, but….
Now that she is sick with a cold, there is nothing she can do about it.
‘…… By now, Bainen must have completed the mission I entrusted to him.’
If he treated the Leviham like this and sent it back, everything would be all right.
But let’s not be rash.
Having made up my mind, I arrived at the parlor while talking to Leviham in the most relaxed manner possible.
“Have you tried Balgeum Chocolate? It melts very quickly once you put it in your mouth…….”
As I naturally opened the door to the drawing room, I hesitated without even realizing it.
It was because the elf was sitting in front of the table in the drawing room, putting chocolate in his mouth.
I saw that there was even black tea in the teacup, so I was enjoying tea time properly.
This bastard, it’s clear that Harvey is just leaving because he has a cold…… !
‘Get off your chair right now! The bishop is here!’
I tried to communicate my intentions with a silent gesture, but the elf just stared at me with red eyes.
Well well. The blissfully inflated cheeks of his are approaching disgustingly for some reason.
I slowly closed the door, remembering how patient I was.
Levi Ham, puzzled by that, tilted his head.
“Lord Theorard? Why are you like that?”
“That’s it…….”
Do I have to make an excuse?
An elven slave who is eating chocolate, so you can’t treat her? It’s nonsense.
You suddenly changed your mind, so please stop going back? It’s the worst.
Eventually, he would have to enter the drawing room.
“…… It’s nothing.”
Half resigned, I opened the drawing room door again.
And I was kind of surprised.
It was because the elf, who had been sitting in front of the table and eating chocolate until just now, kept her distance from the table, holding her hands together and looking this way.
“Welcome, Master. Bishop Leviham too.”
Is it an extension of yesterday? Somehow, it seemed to match my rhythm with the fact that ‘severe corporal punishment’ was ahead.
Deeply relieved, I led the Leviham into the drawing room.
“Haha. Isn’t it wonderful? My slave must have prepared refreshments after seeing Bishop Leviham enter the mansion.”
“Okay. A well-educated slave indeed. By the way….”
Without entering, Leviham rubbed his stomach as if he had a bad stomach.
“I want to use the bathroom before we talk, is that okay? It’s because I’m not feeling well because I came right after the service.”
“Ah. Anything like that is fine. If you want, I can attach a servant to guide you to the bathroom.”
However, Levi Ham shook her hand as if it were burdensome.
“I can’t offend anyone else. I’ve been to the mansion several times before, so I remember the location of the bathroom. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
“If you say so……. All right.”
When I reluctantly answered, Leviham saluted me and slipped through the open door.
Did I do something wrong? In the midst of my confusion, someone gently grabbed my sleeve of her. Looking back, it was an elf.
“I am the owner……. I also suddenly have a urge to urinate…….”
“A cheeky bitch.”
Realizing that he was asking for a sale, I grabbed the elf’s ears and lifted them up.
Hee-e-e- elf lifted her tiptoe and shed tears.
“There is no answer to being stupid. If you need to urinate, shouldn’t you just go to the bathroom and lie down? Why would you bother to say such dirty things to your master?”
“Sorry, sorry clothes…….”
“Huh. I’ll watch over you this time, so next time, pay attention to your words and actions.”
The elf’s groans subsided as I let go of his ears. As if pulling his ear his was more painful than he thought, the elf looked at me while touching his own ear his.
“Jae, can I use the bathroom, master?”
“Don’t ask the obvious.”
“Hey. Then I’ll start using the bathroom from today…….”
Thank you master The elf muttered a little and bowed his head and went out through the open door.
As I watched it indifferently, the belated realization sent chills down my spine.
‘…… From today?’
Then, where did you urinate until now?
No way, continue to the stone statue of my father…… ?
‘No. Probably not.’
Let’s not jump to conclusions.
There’s no way an elf could be that much of a demon…….

After exiting the drawing room, Leviham went straight to the office of the mansion.
For her doubts she were sinful, but her convictions she were not sinful.
‘If it’s in the Oval Office, we’ll be able to find more solid evidence.’
I will definitely find out the reason that made Hamtar a disabled person and bring Theorad to the Inquisition.
Leviham, who opened the door of the office with firm determination, did not go far and was able to face Theorad’s corruption.
‘A witch’s crystal ball?’
The crystal ball lying undisturbed on the desk was definitely the witch’s.
Because the mark engraved on the outside said so.
Leviham, who drooled and approached the crystal ball, was surprised in another way.
‘Isn’t this mark the head of the Dogwol Guild?’
An inverted cross-shaped mark painted red on the surface of the crystal ball. The shape of the vine rose wrapped around the inverted cross was the unique mark of the Dokwol Guildmaster.
‘Theorad joined hands with the head of the Dokwol Guild?’
What kind of connection is there between the two, so that they have a close relationship?
The exact reason was not known, but an ominous feeling ran through her body for some reason.
‘Did he trade in weapons of mass destruction? To destroy the Church?’
On the outside, I was acting as a faithful believer, but on the inside, I would have thought that he was plotting this scale.
I wanted to inform the church right away and dispatch the knights, but this alone is still insufficient evidence.
Because of the oath they made on Walpurgis Night, they couldn’t blindly convict them as heretics just because they made a deal with a witch.
‘Once the rest…… I’d better check it out later.’
If you say you’re going to the bathroom and wait too long, you’ll get suspicious.
Hundreds of snakes are coiled behind his smiling face his, and if he becomes suspicious of Theorard, there will be no turning back. He had no guarantee that he would not become like the god Hamtar.
Also. No matter how you think about it, it was more profitable to retreat now and plan for the future.
Levi Ham left the office without touching anything to hide the fact that he had entered the office.
After quietly closing the door so that no sound could be heard, Levyham, who turned around, gasped at the unexpected encounter.
“Hey…….”
Theorad’s slave elf was watching this from the hallway.
As if he knew he would come out of the Oval Office.
“There’s no bathroom there…….”
The sight of him approaching one step at a time while stretching his tail his is creepy.
An insignificant slave was simply walking along, and the air around him was enveloped in heavy silence.
My feet, hands, and lips do not move at all.
It was to the point of expressing that I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
“It is strange. Why is the Bishop of Leviham coming out of the master’s office?”
Tumble.
Footsteps that are light but can never be taken lightly stop at close range.
Levi Ham stared at the elf approaching him in a cold sweat.
‘You…… Is a slave right?’
The gaze of the elf staring intently at me was hardly the momentum to come out of a slave.
He is arrogant, authoritative, domineering and vicious.
It was as if the silence now was the only consideration he bestowed on him.
However, as if tired of that, the elf licked her lips with a languid accent.
“You must answer.”
Beneath her beautiful silver hair Her, blood-red eyes gleamed as if they contained some sort of madness.
“Am I asking?”
Thanks to this, Leviham was able to feel it desperately.
Something is going wrong…….
