I never thought that an opportunity like this would come… … .
To my surprise, Grans opened her mouth with a small smile as if she had misunderstood.
-Keep things about the Church a secret from Sophia. Maybe one day he will find out, but it’s still too early.
“Yes, I understand.”
-And it’s about the company, but… … .
Compared to the meeting with the religious leader, the importance of the following contents has dropped significantly.
The conversation with Grans continued for 15 minutes. I smiled inwardly.
‘I might be able to check the Church Headquarters with my own two eyes.’
But there were some odd parts.
When Sister attacked the base of the church in the past. I’m sure you said that you’ve encountered level 2 church members.
And they replied that they did not know the location of the Church’s headquarters.
‘Elraim judged their answers to be true. then… … Are you saying that since I’m Gran’s child, the headmaster will perform the ceremony himself? What about the confidentiality agreement?’
The answer was not given.
But I can’t ask Grans directly about that part… … .
After I finished communicating, I turned my head and met my sister’s eyes.
“I do. I think I will be able to see the head of the church.”
When I said this with a shrug of my shoulders, my sister put on a slightly worried expression.
“My sister will follow behind me too.”
“No, there must be quite a few talented people waiting around the headquarters. I don’t know if my sister had mastered even excellent stealth skills… … .”
“Then Elaim… … .”
“No, considering the circumstances, it is better for Elaim to stick with her sister. I’d rather attach other spirits. and… … I should also call Endairon.”
You should also consider if your sister is attacked by someone else.
If Elraim gets away from her sister… … I can’t concentrate even if I’m anxious.
Sister bit her lip for a moment, then looked at Ellaim.
“… … Is it possible?”
-of course. Depending on the distance, the consumption of mana will increase, but with the current amount of mana, there will be no problem?
In response to Ellaim’s answer, the older sister let out a small sigh.
It seems that I am still uneasy about entering the middle of enemy lines.
Well, even if it were me, if my sister were to encounter the cult leader, I would have surely run out of the mansion and headed for my sister.
“I feel sorry for making you worry. If you think about it differently, I would be worried like my older sister. But it was already planned, and now only I can do it. therefore… … .”
I smiled bitterly as I made eye contact with my sister.
“Please. Trust me.”
Was the one word I asked you to trust that cringe like this? Even after I said it, my body trembled slightly and I felt ashamed.
Seeing me like that, Elim tilted her head.
– Why are you so shy? Did you do something you would be ashamed of?
“Damn it, that’s the part that’s going to go quietly!”
Even at my cry, she looked at me as if she couldn’t understand.
On the other hand, my sister looked at me and Elaim alternately, then burst into a small laugh.
“Yeah, I get it. but… … If something happens, you have to call your sister right away. got it?”
“Yeah, I get it. When I am in danger, please come to rescue me. Conversely, when your sister is in danger, always call me. Because now I have become one of the greatest monsters on the continent. I’ll go and find my sister no matter what.”
Even as I said that, I put on a slightly embarrassed expression.
Isn’t this kind of conversation usually between lovers, not family?
I cleared my throat and recalled the question from earlier.
“Keu-hum, I want to ask you one more thing… … .”
“huh?”
“Didn’t I tell you that I had an encounter with a level 2 church member the other day? You said you didn’t know the church headquarters back then… … . Was it really true?”
-Yes, my pupils judged it to be true.
The one who answered my question wasn’t my sister, but Elaim.
“The guys I met heard that only members of the church directly under the headquarters knew about the church headquarters. Who was among the apostles was treated as a secret. then… … Am I going to be under the direct control of the church headquarters?”
I wondered whether the mana contract was written or not.
The confidentiality agreement was irrelevant. But if you force a contract of absolute obedience… … .
“Should we just play the game and get out?”
“If it’s Haeju, Elim can do it, but… … Worst case, destroy the surrounding area. And if the leader doesn’t die from your magic, run away right away.”
They might be targeted by the church and be accused of being traitors by the Empire, but at least they would be able to see how monstrous the cult leader was.
“Whoa, it’s embarrassing. Sister, do you want to play chess?”
“… … Yes, my sister will prepare refreshments and tea. Have chess ready on the table.”
“okay.”
heart beating wildly.
Besides, everything in my head was about the religious leader.
I tried to get my mind back by playing chess, but that was the only time. Whether sleeping or eating, my mind was filled with thoughts about the church.
Time passed day and night like that.

We looked at each other’s suits and dresses for the New Year’s party.
Well, in my case, it was just a dark suit, such as black or navy blue, but my sister fell into trouble for a while while choosing dozens of dresses and accessories.
“Hmm, doesn’t that suit you too well? That one felt a bit different, but this one… … .”
To be honest, even if I covered the envelope I picked up while passing by, I couldn’t hide my sister’s beauty.
Oops, I don’t know if I’m going to lose my arms if I do this.
“Should I just wear this white dress and go?”
“I definitely feel that white is the most acceptable. Still, I liked the blue or light blue color, and the dress over there had a nice design… … . Ah, the black color that contrasts with my sister’s hair suits her well. and… … .”
Did I talk too much?
My sister let out a small sigh and immediately chose a white dress.
“I’ll just do this.”
“If you like your sister. Oh, and the blue diamond necklace I bought you the other day… … .”
“I was thinking about that necklace as well. And the rings and earrings… … .”
An older sister who is armed with diamonds all over her body.
Rings, necklaces, and earrings were all products that were treated as super expensive even in the empire.
Well, it’s all a gift from me.
“Hmm, I think this will be fine. shoes… … I have to do this too.”
My sister came out of the dress with her white shoes on.
“how is it?”
While fiddling with my watch, I stood up and clapped for my sister’s appearance.
“oh my god… … . You’re probably the only one who looks good in that dress and shoes, right?”
It was a little exaggerated, but in reality, there are few people who fit like her.
“Hmm, but would a bracelet be better than a ring?”
Wearing both would be a bit ambiguous. It might feel like you’re showing off your extravagance.
“A bracelet would be nice too. Dillia, bring me the bracelet box.”
A large box containing only bracelets.
Inside, they were separated by type and color.
Sister looked through the box Dillia brought and, as expected, took out the ring while wearing a bracelet made of diamonds.
“really… … You are armed with diamonds.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Ruby, sapphire, and emerald are also pretty, but I think this one is the best. And the hair tie… … .”
The total value of her dress, shoes, and accessories would easily exceed hundreds of gold coins.
However, as the third daughter of the Speiwon family and the sister of the Earl of Ardennes, she might seem frugal in many ways.
“The main character of this party will be your sister.”
“You don’t need lip service to your sister.”
I meant it from the bottom of my heart, but my sister seemed to take it as a joke.
I shrugged and got up from my seat.
After choosing the outfit for the party, I set off for the Swallow Mansion with my sister.
‘I wish I could kiss you, but… … . Well, I can’t help it if it doesn’t work.’
Arriving at Swallow Manor, we first integrated Darkness. What was divided into the first headquarters and the second headquarters was merged into one.
The members were wary of each other, but was it because of the fact that they were victims of the cult? I quickly got along well.
and… … .
“Then, the events taking place now… … .”
-Yes, it was moved by the church, so you should return to the system on time.
Grans took the bait I threw.
Invasion of Demonic Beasts in Korea.
Upon hearing that the cult existed behind it, the older sister frowned slightly.
“really… … Are you saying that Lucifer’s right hand exists?”
At my sister’s question, I smiled bitterly and scratched my head.
“Of course, if you use black magic, it is possible to enslave the Witchbeast. But there are hundreds of thousands of demons rampaging in the country. Wouldn’t it be necessary to have the right arm of the Great Demon King to work that number?”
“… … .”
“Looking at it that way, it might be hundreds of thousands less. Because in ancient texts, it was said that Lucifer led tens of millions of demons and threatened this continent.”
It’s definitely a silly story.
Neither will you have anything to say.
If tens of millions of monsters really attacked, not only this empire, but the entire continent would be greatly shaken. In the worst case… … Could this world really come under the control of the cult?
“Anyway, it’s clear that I’ve obtained ‘something’ that can control countless demon beasts.”
I had no choice but to say that for now.
“That part will become clearer after meeting with the religious leader. so… … .”
I pointed at the bedroom door with my index finger.
smart smart
“My lord, dinner is ready.”
I smiled slightly at the maid’s voice.
“It’s meal time.”
At my one word, my sister drooped her shoulders. The tension from earlier disappeared in an instant.
Chapter 124
124. Return (5)
“5th circle at the age of 14… … . Definitely a great talent.”
The first apostle, Britain, tilted his head at the muttering of the headmaster.
“yes?”
“No, I’m talking to myself.”
The priest shook his head and rested his chin.
“How are the demons?”
“Yes, we are currently active in various parts of the Empire. but… … The Empire’s military power is stronger than expected, and it is believed that it will end sooner than predicted.”
“Hmm, since they were only for experiments anyway, there shouldn’t be any big problems. And would you have seen it? Abandoned land.”
A barren land that is included in the Imperial Territory, but no one cares about it. The soil is so dry and cracked that it is hard to believe that it used to be a vast plain.
For this reason, the empire called the area the land of death, but the priest opened the gate to the demon realm there.
“Yes, I definitely saw it. The future when the headmaster will rule this continent.”
The cult leader who summoned the Witchbeasts to Middle-earth by channeling Lucifer’s energy into the gate. Among the witches summoned were high-ranking witches from A to S ranks.
And the monsters bowing their heads in front of the religious leader.
Britten made a face of emotion.
hundreds of thousands… … No, millions of demonic beasts knelt down and bowed their heads to a single man.
“As soon as 10 million troops are ready, I will conquer this empire.”
“… … 10 million.”
That’s a really staggering number.
Are you planning on filling this empire with monsters?
Britten recalled the sight of S-rank monsters gathered in one place not long ago.
Monsters called calamity. Even if they only move, this empire will suffer damage that is close to destruction.
Swoop-
Britten, who was on one knee, lowered her head even deeper.
“I will pass it on to the apostles.”
“Yes, I worked hard to live a frustrating life in the dark. Britain.”
“no. Everything is according to the teacher’s wish… … .”
In response to Britten’s answer, the head teacher, Carvad A First, nodded in satisfaction while raising the corners of his mouth.
* * *
December 31, 1253 on the continental calendar. The imperial castle of the Labadian Empire.
Gran, who came up to the island for a New Year’s party, stopped in front of Kayneth and Sophia.
The two of them silently bowed towards Grans.
“I see the head of the household.”
“I see the head of the household.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you both.”
