“My father. I will be your grandfather The former head of the Speyone family, Gries H. To fulfill the Chaos Church’s longing. and… … What the current religious leader wants is to dye this world into darkness.”
What the leader wanted included the goals of the six religious orders.
As a result, the religious leader accepted the six religious orders and promised to grant their wishes.
In other words, they are only united as one for each other’s purpose. In particular, it is not said that they are giving absolute allegiance to the religious leader.
The headmaster must understand that too.
“ah… … . So, the apostles… … .”
“Yes, the master of the six churches in the past… … Or their descendants.”
Could it be that these secrets were hidden behind a veil?
I dropped my head and stared blankly at my toes for a moment.
“The headmaster is looking at you as the successor to me, the second apostle. That’s why you decided to skip writing the mana contract.”
“I am… … .”
“When I dominate this empire and become the emperor, Eren will become the crown prince. but… … .”
Grans crossed her legs and curled up her lips.
“I will give you a chance to become the crown prince too.”
“… … Is this a chance?”
“Yes, the Church will soon try to rule this empire. At that time, make a feat worthy of defeating Eren.”
What should I answer? Just say that you will continue to assist Ellen?
But I am Gran’s son.
then… … .
“certainly… … I will try to bring down this empire.”
Revealing ambition would be the correct answer.
As if he was satisfied with the look in my eyes, his smile deepened even more.
Drurrr-
“Then, rest in peace now. There is a long way to go.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I closed my eyes and predicted the carriage’s direction.
but… … Whether it was the coachman’s skill or not, he couldn’t properly grasp the direction.
It feels like the wagon has been going round and round in the same place ever since. I lost my sense of direction in an instant.
‘damn… … . I have no choice but to trust Endairon and the spirits.’
I sighed inwardly as I checked my watch.
How many hours have passed like that?
I exchanged a few words with Granance in between, but each minute and one second felt too long.
And after 5 hours, the wagon stopped.
“Im here.”
I put on a slightly tired expression.
‘I’ll ride this carriage on my way back… … I have to spend five hours with Granance again.’
I had to take a break to spend time with Grannes, so I couldn’t rest properly.
I clicked my tongue and jumped out of the stopped carriage.
Taat.
“here is… … .”
is it a cave?
I looked around.
The floor and walls of the cave from the lanterns hanging on the walls. And I could check the ceiling.
‘It must be about 5m to the ceiling.’
The size of the cave was quite huge.
Could it be that they built their headquarters in this cave?
I peeked through the aisle where the wagon came in. That is, looking toward the entrance.
However, the direction of the entrance is only dark.
It seems that he passed through the doorway and entered quite a bit.
“Did you have a hard time coming?”
From noble mtl dot com
The man stopped in front of Grans. I couldn’t see my eyes properly because of the black hair that covered my eyes.
However, it was quite unpleasant to give off a somber atmosphere.
Grans brushed off her coat with her right hand and nodded toward the man.
“The headmaster will be there, right?”
“Yes, you are waiting for the 2 apostles. Let me guide you.”
Seeing the man claiming to be a guide, Gran looked at me.
“Kenneth, come with me too.”
“All right.”
I followed Grans and walked inside the cave.
And finally arrived at the place that seemed to be the exit.
Can we finally see the outside?
But after a while, what unfolded before my eyes… … These were huge mountain ranges.
‘What is that?’
Under the night sky, a huge city illuminated by the moonlight appeared.
‘… … To think that a place like this existed.’
Hundreds surrounded by mountains… … thousands of buildings. It feels like discovering a hidden ancient city.
And in the center of the city, a pitch-black temple appeared.
What materials did you use to make the building look like that?
As I came out of the cave and went down the mountain range, I saw the crowd of people and couldn’t help but be frightened.
‘All those people are warlocks?’
Even just looking around at first glance, I was able to confirm that there were hundreds of them.
Considering the concentration of demonic energy felt in the surroundings, thousands… … No, it wouldn’t be strange if there were tens of thousands of people.
‘driving me crazy.’
Are Endairon and the spirits watching this scene?
I walked several kilometers and stopped in front of the pitch-black Great Hall.
A height of several tens of meters in an area of thousands of pyeong. How many floors will it be?
I licked my dry lips once and let out a small sigh.
“The city you just saw has 130,000 church members.”
The moment I stepped into the Great War, Grans, who was ahead of me, said as if muttering.
“yes?”
What did this old man say?
“The religious leader personally took in those who were born with an unfortunate destiny. Most of them are only level 3 or 4 members, but they lead a peaceful life in this city. And those who wrote the mana contract are currently working under the direct control of headquarters.”
Ah, that’s what being directly under the headquarters meant.
I boarded the elevator installed in the temple.
I never thought I would actually ride an elevator.
It was a bit strange, but when the elevator reached the top floor, I followed Grans.
“Kaynes.”
“yes?”
“You, too, shall engrave it well with your eyes. The man who subdued the six cults with overwhelming force, a man named Carvad A First.”
Chapter 128
128. Church headquarters (3)
Carvad A First. It is the name of the leader that was not exposed in the original work.
I clenched my fists with a very nervous expression.
And when my palms were wet with sweat, I stopped in front of a huge sheep door carved with a black dragon.
“The second apostle, Grans H Spay One, has arrived.”
The black magician who claimed to be the guide informed the inside of the hall about Grans’ visit.
As both heavy-looking doors slowly began to open, a huge hall appeared.
Blue lanterns lit up the room.
The atmosphere contrasts with the audience room for the emperor.
It was literally the same as the devil’s castle.
Tumble.
Did I walk too hard?
The footsteps were too loud.
An extremely sensitive situation.
Still, I looked at the man sitting on the throne.
Black hair and red eyes. A man who appears to be in his mid-thirties.
If the things Grans said were true, it wouldn’t be strange if he was in his 50s.
‘… … This is really a monster.’
It feels like you have chicken skin on your skin. Enemies I’ve encountered so far feel like junk mobs.
I gulped and followed Grans.
Soon after, Grans stopped walking, and I also stopped in my seat.
“Meet the headmaster.”
Grans knelt down on her right knee and bowed her head.
I never thought the day would come to see him kneel.
But I couldn’t help but admire it.
I also got down on my right knee following Grans.
“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve seen your face in person. And that one… … .”
“Yes, this is my son, ‘Kayneth H Spayone.’”
“No, now that I am the head of the Ardennes family, I should call him Kayneth H Ardennes.”
Even at his slightly playful remark, Gran only lowered her head.
I could roughly feel that the leader was staring at the top of my head.
If you raise your head slightly, you will meet his eyes.
I had no intention of showing such a foolish attitude.
“Surely great. To reach the 5th circle at that age. The future of the Spey One family is truly bright. 2 apostles.”
“It is overrated. And the future of the Church is no different from the future of the Spey One family.”
Was Grans’ answer satisfactory? The headmaster smiled and nodded.
“Yes, it is. I plan to go to the demon realm the day after tomorrow. And three years from now, this world will be in the hands of the Church, so be prepared. This Labadian Empire, which I will hand over to you, will be organized this year.”
“ah… … .”
“Even Darkness would be impossible to stop millions of demons.”
“You are right.”
What is it, the gate to the demon realm has already been opened?
I lowered my head and opened my eyes wide. It was much faster than the original.
Besides, going to the realm of demons and bringing millions of demons… … You mean he already got Lucifer’s right arm?!
then… … We need to deal with him quickly.
As soon as large-scale monsters from the Pandemonium cross over to the continent, this empire will literally suffer damage close to destruction.
With the current Darkness, it would be impossible to even stop them.
‘… … kill. I have to kill this guy before he goes to the demon realm!’
I clenched my fists with firm determination.
It didn’t take long for him to be recognized as a second-class member by the religious leader, Karvad.
It’s just a small ceremony.
“When this empire falls into the hands of the Church, I will personally bless you.”
Blessings! You are the only one who calls such gloomy mana a blessing!
I took a deep breath and bowed my head.
“It is an honour. Master.”
I ended the ceremony with a short answer.
He seemed to leave, but unfortunately, the leader’s business seems to still be there.
“Come to think of it… … One of your daughters had a child named Sophia, right?”
When my sister’s name was mentioned, my eyebrows twitched slightly.
Then, Grans tilted her head and looked at the religious leader.
“Yes, but why did he… … .”
Grans was speechless.
At that, Karvad opened his mouth with a small smile.
“I guess… … I think I will have to kill that child.”
In an instant, my head lifted.
what did you say now? Killing your sister?
The moment my eyes widened, Grans also frowned in embarrassment.
“… … What do you mean?”
“The empire will soon fall into the hands of the church, so there is no need to make the 3rd prince and the child betrothed.”
“that… … You are right, but please tell me why you have to kill the child.”
Grannes strongly demanded an explanation.
