Chapter 311
[ Episode 311. Lucifer’s invitation]
“Rulp!”
Luna broke the mood and ran to Dmitri.
On Dmitri’s shoulder, Luna’s small monkey was tilting its head.
“Hey, how have you been? I was having fun.”
It was Luna who had declared that she would not take her to a dangerous place after experiencing ‘repeating nightmares’, but she seemed to be keeping her word diligently.
“I have something to say.”
A vampire took advantage of the break in the atmosphere to talk to me.
“We have not come to oppose you. Quite the contrary.”
“Tell me in detail. Let’s hear it.”
“We are under Angela-sama’s command.”
Angela.
A name that had been forgotten for quite some time popped out of the other person’s mouth.
“Adrias Cromwell learned that you were participating in this expedition, and the plan was changed quickly. Originally, we planned to carry out raids like them, but the goal has changed.”
“Is that target me?”
“Yes. Angela personally invited you.”
Angela seemed to have risen to a fairly high position now.
She probably didn’t have any power, but while I was busy growing up, she seems to have achieved something of her own.
“Your brother is Mr. Adrias?”
Then Isabelle quietly intervened.
“Yes, Isabelle.”
“Huh~”
Isabelle looked at me with a strange smile.
That noble yet playful smile made me uneasy.
“We can’t send Adrias-sama alone to such a rough place. I will follow.”
What responded to Isabelle’s words was Maximin, not the vampire they were talking to.
He frowned subtly, but he couldn’t bear to show it, but it was an unwilling look.
“Good news! Rather, I have always waited for Isabelle to return to the family.”
“There is no comeback. I like where I am now.”
Isabel, who smiled noblely and said that she would see familiar faces after a long time, was reassuring.
“Can I ask what exactly the invitation is for?”
“It has no specific purpose. Angela just wants to see you.”
I’ll have to think about it a bit.
Before that, there was still work to be done.
“Kheung.”
Evan’s Aura Biggi filled the surroundings. The beastmen were immobilized by his aura, waiting for their disposition.
“Ulug.”
“Hehe. we lost Admit it plainly.”
“You have a knack for making obvious things plausible.”
“You are right. A loser never speaks.”
Agatha, now unconscious, was told that Sin was here in advance.
I know that you came to attack me in the first place, so my words weren’t nice.
‘Originally, I was going to get a ship in the kingdom of corpses, but that’s why I changed my plan to Kriebmaher.’
Then another vampire who had been silent spoke to me.
“Can I ask for mercy?”
I asked the man who spoke to me in a calm voice.
“You mean these guys?”
“That’s right.”
The catastrophic scenario associated with the scene has already been resolved. The fallen world tree scenario is exactly that.
Because of that, my interest in the scene fell a little, but I wasn’t generous enough to forgive those who attacked me.
“Are you kidding?”
“The reason we dared to show up now was for mediation. If I hadn’t cared about the scene, I would have appeared after everything was over.”
I hardened my face coldly as I watched him do everything he had to say.
“Please explain why I should listen to that.”
“We will compensate you separately. Apart from the rewards you rake out of the scene, of course.”
It’s a reward…….
Let’s take a look at the contents.
“Listen and judge.”
“If you accept Angela’s invitation, you will visit our land. As for the reward, Angela-sama will take care of it without regret.”
“Did Angela order you to save Sin?”
“It is both. If you guys were dangerous, you would have convinced Sin on the contrary.”
It is said that I am saving because of Angela, but I do not know why I am trying to save Sin.
‘I’m worried.’
I didn’t know the specific reward, but I had to visit the Lucifer family at least once anyway.
‘The page of lust.’
The object responsible for the fifth in the Sins series was there.
“Angela-sama has a strong position within the family. The rewards we offer will never disappoint.”
“Hmm…….”
As my thoughts grew longer, someone came to my side.
“Hey Adrias.”
It was Salem that made me wonder if I should get rid of the nickname of a wanderer.
“Yes, what is it?”
“Anyway, as far as I can tell. Don’t do that, just save me.”
It was an unexpected word.
I never thought the words to save me would come out of Salem’s mouth without blood or tears.
“Can I hear the reason?”
“Killing that black cat will make you tired. It’s not because of the scene, it’s because of something else.”
It’s another matter…….
“Even if he looks like that, he’s Deshurn’s disciple.”
“Deshurn?”
An unexpected name popped up.
“Do you know who Deshurn is?”
“You are my master.”
“what?”
I guess I didn’t tell Salem.
After all, the only ones who knew that I was a disciple of Deshurn were the elves of Rastilia, Merkur, and Maximin.
“Master? What bullshit are you talking about?”
“It is literally.”
I was more surprised than that.
Until now, I knew that Deshurn had never taken on disciples.
But is a non-human beast a disciple of Deshurn?
“Don’t be ridiculous. Are you the old man’s disciple?”
Ulug looked at me and shouted, probably feeling the same way.
“I learned directly from the Crates Mountains. I really can’t believe it. Master never talked about you.”
“That’s…”
Ulug scratched his head and looked away.
“Strictly speaking, I am not a disciple.”
I thought so too.
“I was raised by the old man.”
“yes?”
no wait.
Deshurn raised Ulug?
Ulug was an executive in Sin.
I haven’t met him in person in the game, but I’ve heard his name while solving the Fallen World Tree scenario.
“No, you say you belong to the scene because you were raised by your master?”
“Kuhm.”
That pear is a bad baby …….
Do you grow up in human hands and play an executive of a human hate organization?
“I just wanted to help the suffering prisoners. And you seem to be mistaken about something, but the old man often helps us with our work.”
“her!”
You’re just saying things I can’t believe.
“Really! As long as it does not harm humans, it rescues enslaved prisoners or prevents prisoner villages from being attacked.”
“I know what you are about to do.”
Fall of the World Tree.
It wasn’t just to save the prisoners.
“What are you doing?”
“I have visited Rastilia before.”
“joy! I know. I know you thwarted our organization’s centuries-old plan there.”
“Do you think it was for the prisoners?”
“How do I know the intention of the plan hundreds of years ago! I’m still only 50.”
only 50?
Well, aside from that, as Ulug said, the fall of the world tree itself is not something that everyone in the scene is involved in.
‘An existence that can live for hundreds of years.’
Dark Elves or Vampires.
Perhaps some members of the congregation were also involved.
“You don’t seem to know much about our organization, but in the first place, even within the organization, there are different tendencies. Factions are divided among races, and opinions are not always the same.”
No, but have you been talking a lot since before?
“Losers say they don’t talk, so you talk a lot.”
“I have to say something!”
“You say two words with one mouth.”
Anyway, Ulug must be saved.
It’s unfortunate that they attacked us, but no one was hurt, and I should go over it at least once, seeing Master’s face.
“I will give you a chance to live. instead.”
“instead?”
“You have to pay the price.”
The prisoners who watched our conversation fell silent.
“What do you want?”
“information.”
There was no shortage of material things anyway.
All I need right now is information.
Although Evan and Noah were leading the intelligence organization, that’s a different story.
What I wanted was inside information about the scene.
“I don’t ask for much. And it would be better than dying.”
“Kheu…….”
Leaking information within the organization is an act of betrayal.
It must have been a difficult condition for him to readily agree to.
“Accept Ulug.”
At that time, a vampire named Jonathan, who led the conversation in the first place, stepped forward.
“We will mediate on this matter.”
“In whose name?”
“As you know, Angela, whom we serve, is also a member of the scene. We will first check the importance of the information you are talking about and let the author know.”
Jonathan looked back at me asking if it was okay.
“Is this level of concession possible?”
“well.”
“I know you are in control of the current situation. But when Ulug gets into trouble, our side gets into trouble too.”
“You mean Angela by our side?”
“Yes.”
I was told by Isabelle that Angela had left a favorable mark on me.
And the reaction of the vampires who have come to me now is not hostile to me either.
‘Shouldn’t this be enough to give Angela strength?’
In order to obtain the page of lust anyway, he had to intervene in the struggle within the Lucifer family.
And I was lucky enough to have a connection between Isabelle and Angela.
“All right. However, I will pay the price after that.”
“Take it easy. The wealth and wealth we have transcends human imagination…….”
A deal was established.
**
Quiet student council room.
Serena, who was sitting in the chairman’s seat and looking through the documents to pay, rubbed her eyes for a moment.
“Uhm…….”
Recently, having been working at the student council and practicing swordsmanship at the same time, even Serena could not help but feel exhausted.
smart!
“Will the president be there?”
“Come in.”
The door opened and seven Marilyns entered.
“Wow, so many papers?”
“As the school anniversary approaches, there is a lot of work. What’s more than that?”
“I just came to play. I want to see the president too.”
“I am not a spectacle.”
Serena smiled and turned her gaze back to the papers. Marilyn, who was watching Serena closely, asked in a calm voice.
“That rookie who beat Cassim.”
“Benjamin?”
“yes. You said that Benjamin had Professor Adrias as his guardian, right?”
“Oh, I heard that.”
Marilyn fidgeted with her cheek and gave a questioning look.
“Professor Adrias must have been an Auror Master from before?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“It’s amazing that you recognized Benjamin’s talent.”
“Wouldn’t it be more strange to not recognize Benjamin?”
Serena sincerely thought so.
Benjamin’s talent, which he had experienced so far, was never below him, and was comparable to Lewis if he had to.
‘I hate to admit it, but…’
Marilyn looked at Serena’s reaction and put on a sad expression.
“What could it be? By the way, I am saying this now, but I regret it very much.”
“what?”
“Professor Adrias’s special lecture. I’m not sure I’ll pass, but I should have taken the test. Who knew you were the youngest Auror Master?”
After the events of the tournament, Adrias’ fame spread rapidly.
The youngest Auror Master to break the record of the Head of the Knights Department, Surahan.
Although it had not been recognized by the imperial palace yet, everyone accepted it as a fait accompli.
“Anyway, I’m tired of going outside. When are you going to come back?”
“You should be back soon.”
She answered casually, but Serena herself was actually waiting for Adrias more than anyone else.
The overwhelming force seen in the tournament arena.
The image of Adrias mercilessly slicing up an enemy he could not bear to touch was that intense.
“i envy you. President, you can take special classes, right? Who was it? Is Geomryong senior, Chairman, and Benjamin the end?”
“There is also Chris.”
“Are you B-Gum senior? When did you take the test again?”
Ride on!
While we were talking for a while, I heard the sound of hasty footsteps in the hallway.
“Who is running?”
At the same time, the door burst open.
“President.”
Entered Dietrich Feather.
He was the vice president of the student council.
“what’s the matter?”
“You are back.”
A word in which the subject is omitted.
However, upon hearing that, Serena and Marilyn could guess who had returned.
“Ah…….”
“Professor Adrias has returned to the academy!”
