154. Purgatory (2)
‘The one who sealed the Seven Deadly Sins in Purgatory… … Satisfied?’
The setting for this part was not carefully crafted.
It was merely implied that a transcendent being might have done it.
To say that the setting made by that damn probability was self-satisfying.
“Your race and we have a very deep ties.”
So that was it.
The endless fear of the demons, and the direction of the evil spirits of the Seven Deadly Sins.
All my people have thrown them into purgatory.
“How do you think you can think of a way?”
“Shut up and you will fulfill my terms and conditions.”
“Yes, yes. I do that.”
If it is true that the Samans sealed the Seven Deadly Sins in Purgatory, the records related to them would probably belong to the Samans.
‘It’s just the exam period… … .’
Half of the semester has passed, and the midterm exam season.
Although final exams may not be held like usual, it is undoubtedly the biggest event in the school.
During that time, you must obtain something related to Purgatory from Nobroz.
“by the way… … What should I do first?”
“Once you get out of my room.”
“yes.”
* * *
It was dark outside the window.
The popularity scale outside the hospital room has almost disappeared.
Visits are also limited because the attending physician has requested absolute stability.
In other words, now is the best time to escape.
It is impossible to formally retire.
However, there is not much time left to wait patiently for discharge.
Teaching students is also a task that cannot be postponed.
Now I have been given free time.
There is only time now.
So you have to escape.
Taking advantage of this darkness, when no one can see.
He raised his body and destroyed the power supply of the device attached to his body.
I tried to pull it out, but it was so enchanted that an alarm went off as soon as it fell off my body, so I chose to destroy the power supply.
At least it doesn’t have an alarm.
You may be able to earn a few minutes.
Activating Shin-an, he looked around and approached the window.
Thorough access control magic is installed on the outskirts of Grasco, but there are no such things in the building inside.
I opened the window to make as little noise as possible.
It is wide enough for one person to go in and out.
I jumped over the window and threw myself into the bushes just below.
The height is low, so there is no need to use points.
He landed lightly and looked around.
done. No one is here.
I hurriedly found my carriage, started it, and stepped on it without hesitation.
Like a high-end carriage, it glided towards the front door without making any noise.
Now here is the problem.
I can’t get through that barrier without any fuss.
Because I took the initiative and monitored everything whether it came in from the inside or the outside, and it was corrected so that I could know it right away.
so-
‘It hits.’
There is a strong protective magic applied to the entrance from the outside.
However, the only way out from the inside is through that door.
Trusting this wagon, I increased the speed even more.
Wow-!
Grasco’s main gate is smashed with a loud noise, and the landscape of Grasco disappears in an instant.
‘I’ll have to try this when I come back.’
I’ll have to work with Milia again to make it difficult to get out from the inside.
* * *
“Uh… … What is going on at this late hour?”
-Someone just walked out of the Grasco grounds.
“What? No, who?”
– Apparently, you are Professor Lucas.
“Why is the yangban in the treatment center?”
– That’s fine with me… … .
“Call the treatment center to find out if Professor Lucas really escaped.”
-yes!
“And tonight we’re strengthening the front door perimeter. We’ll do our best not to leak out.”
-all right.
“okay. I will investigate the situation and contact you again.”
Ronald’s sleep fled.
I’ve heard that you’ve taken measures to make sure you’re absolutely calm.
Looks like he’s gone somewhere else.
‘Isn’t it supposed to come back full of shit again?’
It’s terrifying just thinking about it.
How shocked I was to see Lucas who had been covered in blood all over his body and passed out.
Of course, when I found out that it was the trace of a fight with a huge demon alone, I was even more astonished by his endless strength.
‘Where the hell did you go with a body that wasn’t mature yet? … .’
Ronald got up from bed and called Lucas.
Fortunately, after a few beeps, Lucas’ voice was heard.
“Professor Lucas!”
– Vice-President. What are you doing at this late hour?
It’s a voice that’s so calm that it’s disgusting.
as if nothing had happened.
On the other hand, I was relieved that Lucas seemed to be safe.
“Where are you going out last night?”
– I have an emergency, so I think I need to go somewhere.
“Without a word. I’m sorry.”
-sorry. I’ll explain when I get back.
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
-Yes, it’s probably not dangerous.
“The president of the society said that he would come to visit me tomorrow.”
– Instead, please speak to me.
“Hey, man. When you come back, there will be a lot of nagging from the head of the treatment center.”
– I’m taking it into account.
“It’s so urgent. Yes, come and go. It’s too much for an old man’s heart to look like a fairy tale.”
-All right.
Ronald finished the call and got dressed.
Perhaps the most disturbing place is the treatment center.
You have to do it yourself so that you don’t get caught up in random people.
“How can this old man feel taken advantage of?”
But it didn’t feel bad.
* * *
“10 minutes… … Ira.”
It took about 10 minutes to get through the front door and get a call.
It’s a fairly fast axis, but it’s not perfect.
Looks like I’ll have to go back and check it out.
He parked his wagon at the top of Mount Bashel, which is a safe area of the Fedur Mountains, and headed for Nobroz.
Thanks to ‘Shinan’, we arrived at the entrance of Nobroz without getting lost.
The villagers who should have known from the beginning of Mount Basel were out there.
“brother!”
“Lucia.”
This time, not only Lucia, but all the 7 elders with heavy buttocks came out.
“You destroyed two of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
Regardless of my answer, the Captain continued.
“For the prophecy to come true… … I thought that Perm’s duty was now to be separated from our clan.”
The chief looked at me and turned around.
“Follow me. I know why you came here.”
I don’t know how they know this, but for now, I followed the Captain’s footsteps.
“This place… … Aren’t you a senator?”
The Senate was the place I came to when I first came to Nobroz and when I was looking for the legacy of an ancient civilization.
“This senator… … Don’t you think it’s unnecessarily wide?”
That’s not natural.
I was hiding such a huge thing in the basement… … .
‘for a moment. Even so, it’s too huge.’
I can tell because I went inside.
But at that time, I couldn’t feel anything even when I looked at ‘Shinan’?
It’s still the same now.
“Others know that this senate was built to preserve the legacy of an ancient civilization.”
“I think so too.”
“It’s not wrong.”
Are you joking with me?
In an urgent situation, such a pun like this is not pleasant at all.
“Tell me the gist.”
“Hurry up. As if there was an urgent matter.”
The Chief looked back at me.
“Yes. It is a situation that cannot be wasted even for a moment.”
“Is it something to do with purgatory?”
“… … .”
How does this person know about Purgatory?
The only people who know about purgatory are the Seven Deadly Servants who were imprisoned there, and me who wrote such a setting.
It is normal that no information related to purgatory is still known in ＜A.Chun.Mang>.
Even the main character, Xenon, is unaware of it.
But how does this person know?
‘I can’t feel the spirit of the Seven Deadly Sins.’
The most plausible suspicion, the Seven Deadly Sins, was either transformed into a chieftain or was manipulated by delusion, but it was not.
Without raising any doubts, he was ready to use Leviathan at any time.
“… … After all, you seem to know.”
The elder’s face was not of embarrassment or hostility, it was complicated.
“I’ve been expecting it since you took the legacy of the ancient civilizations beneath this Senate. But I hoped that the prophecy was not true. But, it must have been my greed.”
He opened his mouth with a calm expression.
“There are things that are only passed down to the elders. The existence of purgatory, and—a prophecy passed down from generation to generation.”
was it like that
When I asked how the Elder knew about Purgatory, it seems that there was something handed down only to the Elder.
After all, it was said that it was the Four Manns who sealed the Seven Deadly Sins in Purgatory, so it is natural for someone from the Four Manchus to remember.
But why are you making such a complicated expression?
“The reason you came here must have something to do with Purgatory.”
“That’s right.”
You said you know why I’m here, it’s true.
“Right.”
But as he heard my answer, his expression became more distorted in real time.
“Think again.”
“You should know it even if you think about it a thousand times.”
“Whew… … .”
He let out a bitter sigh.
“This prophecy is delivered to the elder. ‘When the two sins are gone, the power of Perm will open the door to Purgatory again. The fires of purgatory will devour all of Saman.’. how about Do you know what I mean?”
Could know.
Clearly, that prophecy points to me.
That the two sins have disappeared, that the power of perm opens the door to purgatory.
The problem is after that.
The story of Saman being swallowed up by the flames of Purgatory.
“I believe this means the annihilation of the clan.”
That’s what I hear too.
Anyone will hear it
If I get information about Purgatory here in order to annihilate the remaining Seven Deadly Sins, the Samans will go extinct.
But what if I go back here?
my students die
“As a general, I must protect the dignity of my clan.”
I understand.
Like the elder, I am standing here to protect my students.
The disappearance of satisfaction means that my sister, Lucia, will also disappear.
The feelings of the chieftain are deeply touched.
However.
“I will not give up.”
“… … okay. I thought it was Gerry Prophecy is absolute. Even if I block your way, the gates of Purgatory will open.”
“no.”
one thing.
There is something wrong with his words.
“The prophecy will not be absolute.”
Prophecy is absolute.
“I will risk my everything to protect it. All of my precious things.”
The chief looked at me for a long time.
“There were other prophecies. Also open to elders. they all fit ‘The one who crossed the eons of time will steal the treasure and run away.’ how about You know who I mean.”
It refers to me without seeing it.
It is understandable why the elders felt uncomfortable and rejected me.
“Like this, the cradle of prophecy is right before my eyes. But you can’t believe it.”
“I swear by my magic. I will risk my everything and protect you.”
“… … .”
The chief looked at me intently.
And then immediately turned around.
“Follow me.”
He placed his hand under the blacksmith’s stone.
Gut-
With a brief vibration, a door just large enough to fit one person appeared.
He went ahead without a word, and I followed.
‘Cheer.’
Gradually, painful sensations enveloped the whole body.
“You look painful.”
I wondered if he was doing something to me, but it wasn’t.
He also seemed to be holding on to something.
“Be patient.”
how much more did you go
Soon, the runes reached a space engraved on the entire wall.
Similarly, a chain with runes engraved on it was wrapped around something.
its overwhelming presence.
at the same time boiling anger. hostile, and- of murder.
“this… … What this senator really guards. The reason this Novrose exists-”
He knew it even if he didn’t say it.
This place,
It was the entrance to purgatory.
