Chapter 204 – 204 – Where Is Calais?
“···That’s how it happened. Now you know everything I know.”
“Thank you for that.”
“I’m grateful. Don’t go and brag about it.”
Danar’s grumbling voice is heard. Through the speaker of the listening device.
There was one thing that Danar did not know. It is said that Tan deliberately hid Villena’s eavesdropping bug on his body and went to visit her.
Thanks to this, the extermination party members who were recovering in the women’s ward area knew the inside story of what happened without having to ask Tan.
“So, to summarize.”
Villena, who recorded the entire conversation on a typewriter, frowned and said.
“Tan’s mother might be in the demon world?”
“Let’s start by summarizing the story from the beginning. I think we need to organize it neatly.”
Nidroga said, raising his index finger. And she quickly glared at Eshen.
Eshen was wondering whether to joke about whether you even know how to organize your thoughts, but when he realized that his mind had been read, he started pretending like he didn’t know anything.
Nidrgar grabbed the back of his head and continued speaking.
“It was a few years after the death of Thanh’s father, Win Tamar. One day, Thanh’s mother, Kale Van Tai, went to Baragand on her own. She brought with her several bottles of good liquor.”
“It’s alcohol that was kept in the hideout of an old party. It was a party that the party leader himself broke up because he was shocked by her husband’s disappearance.”
“I have to drink with you, Baragand, the only comrade who stayed till the end. Thank you for helping me find my dead husband for so many years. As I said that, I opened the bottle.”
“And from Baragand, who was heavily drunk… He got a clue to a world he didn’t know about. Only after he remembered what he had said the day before did Danar realize what he had said.”
“The place where the humans of that ancient civilization left this world and arrived. If they run away there, it’s a place where even powerful people like Danar wouldn’t even dare to track them down. However, because a conspiracy that could destroy the world is in progress, they don’t even dare to look for it. A place where you shouldn’t go.”
“Kalevantai said that she vaguely recognized the identity of Barragand, who was obsessed with her. So I think she made that decision. ‘Getting as far away from King Danar as possible will increase the chances of survival for herself and her family. ‘”
“That’s why I boldly asked Danar himself. Is there a place that even you can’t pursue? Like a rat attaching a bell to a cat.”
“Of course, since the destination was the Demon World, I would have had to say goodbye to my children. I couldn’t take them to that dangerous place.”
“Strangely enough, it looks like a ghost…”
Of course, Baragand was a golem, so he wasn’t really drunk. Considering the strength of the alcohol that Calle fed him, if Danar himself drank that alcohol, his memory for several days would have been completely erased.
However, intelligent creatures can become intoxicated not only by alcohol but also by atmosphere. Danar, who logged on to Baragand with a happy heart and recalled his memories from the day before, realized what he had just said to Calais.
After that, Calle disappeared, but one day he appeared in the obituary section of a newsletter.
Baragand rushed to the scene and found burnt bones and Calais’ warrior sword.
Authorities said she died while helping to rescue her from her burning home.
Baragand couldn’t believe that. It wasn’t because he loved her.
This was because he ordered spies to steal the body and investigate it. The deceased was only slightly taller than her, and she was presumed to have been dead for a long time.
Calle faked her death and disappeared. She even throws away the warrior’s sword.
Kale, who was a capable warrior, may have caught the devil’s tail while investigating the demon world. If you know the dark secrets of this world, there is no way you can waste your life.
Danar believed so. Perhaps Calais discovered the portal that transported the Demon Cave somewhere and boldly entered through it. He has the ambition to stop the devil and prevent the apocalypse.
But since there were no clues, Danard had nothing to do. If he really escaped to the demon world, he wouldn’t be able to release the army to find him.
Of course, you can’t ask a favor from the Demon King, with whom you are only superficially cooperative.
It may be possible for the ruler of her demon world to search for her and find her, but she will become a hostage to be used to threaten Danar…
Calle said she might be alive somewhere. And she may be somewhere beyond the demon world.
With that hope in mind, Danar has held on until now.
And now, by revealing her truth to her family, Tan, she has given that beacon of hope.
“You’re right, you damn bastard. You didn’t even tell your family, you kept it secret.”
“Well, maybe I thought it would be better not to pay attention at all. It might give the Senate a reason to approach, right?”
“That’s right. I guess they thought it would be safer for the children of Calais if they were unrelated.”
“No, that selfish bastard probably didn’t care. She probably believed that she was the only person in the world who loved Calle.”
“What I’m saying is, didn’t you send a bomb to that bastard Tan? You were trying to kill him after all, right?”
Garam, with his head bandaged, spoke in a voice under the influence of tranquilizers. Eshen generously forgave her younger brother’s shortcomings.
“Didn’t you listen in the middle, little brother?”
“Huh?”
“It’s not that I almost died, but I should say that I survived thanks to you. If Danar wanted to kill Thanh that much, he would have used the ‘Continent Destroyer’ that he had secured through the Demon King. By dissuading him, he bought a weapon that would attract less international attention. The thing I asked to use was Danar.”
“What is the Continent Destroyer?”
“What do you mean?”
Erina smiled with a cool expression. She looked like she was recalling a past trauma.
“It’s an item used to destroy continents.”
Garam, who was quietly watching Erina, eventually nodded her head.
“I remembered.”
“You remembered it, right?”
“I’ll keep my mouth shut. I guess there’s still some energy left in the decoction…”
“Sleep, sleep.”
Eshen said, covering Garam’s eyes. Garam kicked her sister’s side, asking if she was treating her like a corpse.
Morgan, who effortlessly dodged Eshen who flew off her bed, touched her shoulder and said,
“There are dozens of terrifying bombs that devastated Erina’s hometown in the basement of the Amethyst Tree?”
“There was a reason why the Demon King was confident of victory. Armatam and Summeriris would have had to start the war by losing their capital without knowing why.”
“Maybe they even targeted the dragon’s nest. Didn’t the Demon King’s fragment that tracked Captain Tomko’s flagship find the dragon’s nest and land?
Nidroga bit his lip with his teeth and sighed.
“Adamantone’s attack that attacked Tomko’s ship at that time was a decoy to catch the attention of the demon king so that he would not discover the fragments that followed. It was clearly trying to find out the location of the dragon’s nest.”
“I almost got screwed.”
“We helped prevent that from happening. You can be proud. With wit, improvisation, and…”
“With Tan’s waist movement.”
“···You really have to add something like that… No, it’s not wrong.”
“Did you say something like that? Let’s be honest. It’s awesome.”
“It’s so great that it saves the world…”
The party members who were talking nonsense waited for each other to say something else. And for some reason, we felt pitiful as we looked at each other’s flushed faces.
At that time, Villena waved her hand as if to ask everyone to be quiet. Everyone’s attention gathered.
Villena operated the listening device and played back the parts she had missed while they were chatting.
“··· So, my mother has been busy looking for her father all along. Damn it

“
“Poor Tan.”
“Shh, be quiet before I throw you away, you noisy bitch.”
“You are more-“
“Quiet, quiet!”
“… I can understand this, but you make me believe that he died without even a message
… It’s too much, Mom.”
“I wouldn’t have thought of abandoning you siblings. I asked your father’s acquaintances, the professors of the Tower of Magic, who helped me find Wintemyr.”
“
·
·
·At least you only took care of your younger brother. Those guys.”
“That’s right. It’s because of the dean.”
“
·
·
·Dean?”
“Lord of the Magic Tower. Your father, who was a genius, really offended that old bearded dictator, so much so that even the professors could barely take care of her daughter’s future.”
“
·
·
·What?”
“You even hid Wintemyr’s legacy from your daughter and treated her like an ugly duckling, so young Miss Bantay had to pay her tuition by earning scholarships on her own. How can she make a living in a living environment with the help of professors and your support? Solving everything.”
“This

Fuck you bastard

“
“Conflict between historic dormitories played a role in the skit.
The Dean is from the ‘Red Dormitory’, while Wintemyr and Ms. Bantay are from the rival ‘Green Dormitory’.”
“No matter what, isn’t the dean being too childish towards the students?”
“Honestly, it’s the same no matter who sees it.
A few years ago, Ms. Ban Tai earned over 100 points on her own in her dormitory’s score settlement, and she was the head girl in the entire dormitory. She said that wasn’t worth it, so she added 160 points to her opponent. What can I say?

“
·
·
·Wait for a sec. Why do you know such detailed things about my brother that I don’t even know about?”
“···Don’t look at me like you’re asking me if I’m a stalker. I’ve never been interested in your situation until now.
No, I tried not to pay attention at all. It will be safer for the children of Calais if we are unrelated.”
“But how do you know!”
“Didn’t you try to approach the World Temple first? Because of that, the Demon King decided to kill you, so I had to do whatever it took to stop it. Fate made us not related.”
“No fuck, you mother-loving bastard! How did you handle my sister’s-”
“···If we recruit both of them as allies and convert them, won’t the Demon King be able to touch them for now? I investigated your current situation and tried to find a way to persuade you. Are you done?”
“···Ah. That makes sense. Sorry. I calmed down.”
“The little guy’s bastard… Anyway.”
Danar barely managed to control his anger and screamed again.
“I am not a pervert who finds his unrequited love in his unrequited love’s daughter. What do I look like? Why would I touch a child who is not even 20!”
“
·
·
·Isn’t my mother at the level of a newborn by your standards? Now that I think about it, this guy is very dangerous.”
“This dog is the same as the Senate. Is that the same as that?”
The extermination party members could not tell if it was the same. However, by their side, there were two colleagues who had probably thought about the problem more than them.
The party members in the hospital room looked at Nenya and Leni cautiously. Lennie tapped his forehead as if lamenting everyone’s stupidity.
