Chapter 121 – 121 – What I Just Didn’t Want Was
Hell. In other words, it is also called illegal dumping waste from Demon World.
They are like dogs that come into our world without permission every time and wreak havoc.
However, not all demons appear without omens. Because in our world, there are aptitude for [Heresy Questioner] Who can read the flow of demonic energy.
Larger religions give preferential treatment to such qualified people, appointing them as interrogation priests, and operating ‘interrogation centers’ where they inform people, ‘Be careful where demons appear.’
Like the magic towers’ weather forecasting business, it is often wrong, but when it is important, it is often correct. Since we do not receive any money other than voluntary donations, it is a public service that is greatly appreciated by the general public.
And of course, the most popular Inquisition of the Church of Mithras is the best in many ways. There are many interrogators with excellent aptitude, so the hit rate is amazing.
“But this time, even the Mithraic Church’s Inquisition Center missed the detection. It was partly because Gunther Waldenhardt, who held a key position, actively obstructed communication within the Church, but there was another key reason. The detection was so widespread that it was thought to be an illusion. It was because they had abandoned it. After the religious denominations put their heads together and repeatedly reinvestigated, they were dumbfounded and came to me in Linden to tell me. Even the specific number of 1,200.”
“···Well, if the weather forecasters at the Magic Tower come out with the calculation result that there will be as many as 1,200 typhoons coming, they will think that they made a mistake and made a mistake.”
“It’s a good analogy, but not all demon caves are as scary as the ones in Linden. There are demon caves that can be solved by a bunch of C- or D-class adventurers swarming in and having a hair-pulling fight with a horde of goblins, and it’s really as big as an ordinary house. “There are also magic caves that disappear even after blowing.”
“I hope so. Otherwise, a tragedy will occur where the East turns into a glass fossil.”
There is a bone in the leader’s reply. Rod smiled more warmly and said, as if reassuring.
“That’s why I came to help. If I leave it alone, I’ll have to turn half the world into a sea of fire with my own hands in order to fix it.”
What did I just hear? And what did I do after I laid that person down?
I took a step back and got close to the party members. Garam, who swallowed his saliva, could be heard whispering to Nidroga.
“···Your mother, is she really that scared?”
“Are you scared too? I’m scared too. We’re scared, so should we be quiet and not say anything in case someone overhears?”
Rod looked back for a moment. Garam and Nidrogar quickly began to pretend they had not said anything. Rod looked back at the leader.
“On the other hand, if you want to handle the situation before something like that happens, you’ll need my help, right?”
“Indeed, I see. We will prepare a carriage for you. We will leave immediately-
“No. If the Demon King broke through the strong security of the Shinyo Church once and sneaked in as your bodyguard, he may be able to do it twice. So there is no need for the Shinyo Church to prepare separately. I will move it for you. Put a container at the entrance of this facility. “I brought it to you, so why not get on it and set off right away?”
The leader looked at Rod’s thoughts.
“It may be a presumptuous question, but unless we wanted to serve you with all courtesy, why did you come back after checking on Bantai when the matter was so urgent?”
“Are you asking why I wasted so much time?”
Even if I say it with a smile, there are times when I feel like I’m screwed. The cult leader, whose expression had barely changed until he picked up the demon lord’s fragment, became as pale as Eshen who had been caught doing something stupid.
“···Sorry.”
“Just as my wings cover the western world, if the Hanghaeng Valley is shaken, the stability of the East will collapse. It is time to skip all procedures and cooperate with each other.”
“···Indeed, yes.”
“It happened that the companion of the Compatible Gokju and the future son-in-law of the Dragon Lord were taken hostage at the same time on the same day, so it would be enough of an opportunity for them to join forces without hesitation.”
The religious leader, who had been listening with blinking eyes, bowed his head in apology and hit his ear hard. Frowning at the self-harm, Rod shook his head.
“Which part did you think you misheard?”
“I’m sorry. I would appreciate it if you could say it one more time.”
“The companion of the compatible Gokju and the prospective son-in-law of the Dragon Lord met on the same day at the same time-“
The leader looked at me with a face that looked like he was about to faint. I was taken aback and responded reflexively.
“Ma, you told me, ‘Captain Tomko, Dragon’s Lair, or one of the goddesses Ishtar will be disappointed if I choose one and settle down.’ Weren’t you aware of that?”
And they also said that Protestants don’t know exactly what happened on Tomko’s ship or the dragon’s nest.
Oh, no way.
“···You didn’t know who the other person was?”
“I had a suspicion that he might have been related to a certain dragon. I knew that he was protected as a member of the dragon’s nest. But, I never thought he might have been involved with the Dragon King’s family-“
“That’s why I came to take a look. It would be very sad if the person I was going to make as a sire had a wound that was difficult to heal.”
Rod interrupted the leader with a wave of his hand. And the smile in his eyes, which had been hanging down as if he had closed them, opened up and down. Gradually, subtly.
The uncomfortable narrowed eyes that made a person’s intestines twisted glared at the religious leader. The man who was the coolest guy in the world until yesterday started quietly hiccuping.
“But it was hasty to put a bounty on them. We should have found out who the other person was. After the situation is resolved, we have a lot to complain about. A lot.”
Rod’s eyes became calm again. I barely let out my blocked breath and sympathized with the religious leader.
“Of course, after the situation is resolved. Shall we go?”
As Rod pointed outside, the religious leader and the elite warriors of the new religion hurried out of the courtyard.
The leader slowly turned to me and said two things at the same time with one look on his face.
One said, ‘Fucked.’ The other one said, ‘What the hell are you doing?’
“···That’s right.”
“Let’s go too. It’s not too much of a fuss. At least we can control a few small and medium-sized horse caves along our lines.”
Leni shook his head and checked his armament. Morgan and Isilun also nodded and started packing up their luggage.
They are all great people. I counted the number of potions I consumed the previous day and motioned for them to wait a moment.
“Just wait three minutes. Just grab a few more potions from the luggage compartment in the room and-“
“No, Tan.”
Lord stuck his head out beyond the crowd of people leaving and pointed firmly at me and said.
“The other extermination party members can follow. But Tan stays here.”
“···Yes?”
————
“A battle break.”
I threw a pebble at Adamantone. Adamantone made an aggrieved expression as his flesh plumped and fluttered.
“Are you the only one feeling unfair? I feel unfair too.”
A thousand demon caves appear. Where in the world is such an insane disaster?
Although I have never experienced anything like this, even an ignorant porter like me knows that every helping hand is urgent.
But you took Eshen, Morgan, Monica, Nidroga, Lenny, and Isilun with you, and told me to suck my fingers here because I’m a non-combatant?
And what if you come back injured? What if I can’t come back? Is it okay to think, ‘I wish you would have been there’ and reflect on your regrets? Like the stupid princesses in fairy tales?
Of course, since Rod told me to stay here, it’s over.
If it had been anyone else, I would have been stubborn, but this time, my opponent was the Dragon Lord. You should be glad you didn’t leave him tied up.
It was also a reasonable instruction. There are plenty of excellent assistants and porters in Shingyo, and there may not be much that only I can do in a situation of all-out war.
Also, interrogating Adamantone is important, if important. Magul comes from the demon world to this world, and this time Adamantone appeared with Magul.
In other words, there is a high probability that he has been to the demon world. You may have encountered numerous fragments of the Demon King, and may know a lot about the Demon King’s plans.
And if it were me, I might be able to open Adamantone’s maw, which even Isilun couldn’t.
“After all, you’ve never put up with your swearing at me before, have you?”
This time the gravel hits Adamantone’s forehead. Adamantone flinched and let out a comical protest.
“But from now on, I think it would be better not to do that by mistake. Since there are more people on my side who will be angry, I feel like I have become a very important person. To use your expression, ‘I am class A, I am a fool, and I can be replaced by a golem at any time. “It means that the ‘day laborer’ cart has graduated.”
Of course, he is Rod’s secret lover and Nidro’s prospective groom, the man who stole the hearts of two of his daughters, a thief who raped the pirate’s daughter, and the energy source of God’s apostle. In the end, the reason I’m in this safe rear area is because of someone who doesn’t want their lover to get hurt.
This means that he did not become a very important person as a porter. Actually, has there ever been such a thing as an ‘important porter’ in history?
No, one person comes to mind. That crazy porter who ate Edin’s wife and gave the devil to our world.
As I sat down on the flower pot decoration in the courtyard, I sighed and threw pebbles at Adamantone. Adamantone, who had been quietly welcoming me, suddenly blurted out.
“Do you know me?”
“···What?”
“It seems like he keeps interrupting my nap because he has something to say, but there are three possibilities that come to mind. It’s either my coworker, my family, or my fan. If I were to guess the odds, it would be a fan. But there’s a problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I can’t give you an autograph because my body has changed like this due to a curse. Of course, don’t misunderstand. He is actually very handsome. All you have to do is visit the city of the pantheon or anywhere, meet a priest who is good at healing, and remove the curse. “This kind of thing happens often to big-time warriors. It’s just a situation that’s not that new.”
Even after getting to this point, you’re still bluffing. I was speechless and glared at Adamantone.
The reason he ended up like that wasn’t because of a normal curse trap. It’s a terrible demonization. There are many cases where humans become demons due to demonic energy, but I have never seen anything of that severity, even in book illustrations.
The body, tied tightly and hanging like a maggot, sways. Adamantone began to turn towards me.
The Protestant guards suddenly jumped out from the shadows under the eaves. Arrowheads of terrifying size all aimed at Adamanton just in case.
But Adamantone paid no attention to the threat. He was only looking at me.
“And my memory is a little vague. No, in fact, it’s very vague. It’s a curse to the extent of forgetting my birthday or name, so some evil force must have put a lot of effort into capturing me. Well, anyway, people who know me will not know you in the world. “It’s okay because it’s probably gone. If you ask around, you’ll be able to get it back. They tried in vain.”
“Wow. Really?”
“Of course! And you’re the first. You’re the first person to bring back my memories. Isn’t it thrilling?”
The boastful voice as if it were a gift of great luck made me shiver.
Suddenly, I remember what’s in my pocket. One flask marked separately between potions, tonics, and trick bombs.
If things had gone wrong yesterday, I would have broken it with the intention of aiming at the Demon King’s fragments and the Donggwi Jinjin.
A solution that is more expensive than a gem of the same weight. The madness of alchemy that burns without going out the moment it touches you. ‘Eternal Fire’.
It can’t even be compared to the counterfeit product that was thrown at the troll. It’s a special product prepared by asking Billena very hard.
There was once something I did not wish for. I think I can express it more honestly now.
I’m not hoping that Adamantone won’t do well. I wanted to see Adamantone suffer.
“Don’t feel pressured and tell me the truth. I vaguely remember that he was a cool guy. What kind of hero was I to you?”
“A chewy with anus on the pores.”
