Then, the teacher rested her chin for a while… … .
“It means the devil.”
It was condensed in one word.
There was no particular reason. The cult leader ordered Grans to get rid of Sofia with the words ‘Devil’s Will’.
I was speechless for a moment at the absurd sight.
“… … I will follow orders.”
Grans obediently bowed her head to the leader’s command.
I gritted my teeth while looking at the leader and Grans alternately.
To decide your sister’s death with just a few words of conversation?
For a moment, mana tried to wrap around my right hand, but I suppressed my anger.
“Hmm, but we should let the father and daughter say goodbye. 3 months. Yes, get rid of her within three months.”
“All right.”
Grans erased the embarrassment she had just a moment ago and replied in a calm voice.
My anger at him grew stronger. The existence of a father accepting the death of his daughter at the mere word of an order from his superior!
At that time, the principal looked at me intently.
“You seem to have a pretty close relationship with Sophia. Seeing you so angry.”
As soon as our eyes met, my body stiffened for a moment.
Grans also glared at me with a ferocious face.
“Come to think of it, did I say you and Sophia are siblings? Besides, I heard that they are living together in the island now… … .”
“that… … Yes.”
He smiled and made a remark that seemed to drive a dagger into my heart.
“Then I will give you the order just now. Within 3 months, kill Sophia, your sister. then… … I will use my hands to elevate you to a first-class church member and become the king of a country in the future.”
He spoke as if he were handing an attractive offer, but his offer was not at all attractive. Rather, it only fuels anger.
The anger burning in his heart suddenly turned into a huge fire, and he swore deeply in his heart that Karvad’s death, not his sister’s death, would happen.
But now… … .
“… … All right.”
He bowed his head with his fists clenched.
Yes, because sister’s death can be disguised somehow. But before you go to the demon realm, I will come back here again. And together with you, I will burn this area down without leaving a single trace.

Right after Grannes and Keynes left the Great War, the head of the cult, Carvad, looked at the lieutenant with his chin on his back.
“Did Kaynes and Sophia have a close relationship? He couldn’t hide his anger properly.”
“In the Spey One family, the two siblings have been regarded as thorns in everything. The trigger was not confirmed, but at some point, the two siblings started hanging out with each other. Kayneth has a child named Sophia… … It will be the one and only family.”
“There is only one family… … . Do you think your relationship with your mother is bad?”
“In the case of Kenneth, it seems that he is in complete denial of his relationship with his mother.”
Karvad nodded his head in agreement with the adjutant’s answer.
“Well, he must have grown up abandoned in the annex… … .”
“What would you like to do? Moving a class 1 member to assassinate Sophia… … .”
“No, leave it alone for now. Aren’t you curious family and church. Which one will you choose?”
Karvad smiled.
He gazed at the translucent hologram that appeared before his eyes.

Quest (New!): Kill the world’s hope, Sophia H Spayone!
*Sophia H Spay One is a being loved by the spirits. One day I will drive away the darkness you bring. Kill her and turn the world into darkness!

*If the quest is successful: ‘10,000,000 experience points’ and ‘A rank skill book’ acquired
———————–
‘Cut down the number of wishes because you couldn’t kill a 15-year-old girl? That guy is also a very petty guy. well, still… … Giving 10 million experience points and an A-rank skillbook just by killing one person is a jackpot.’
Karvad moved his eyes within the time limit and stroked his chin.
144 days is about 4-5 months.
Because of this, Karvad tried to keep an eye on Keynes’ movements for three months.
It is a kind of entertainment.
What choice will he make between his success as king and his precious family?
Of course, the option of Kaynes running away with Sophia was also considered.
“It would be enough to send about five first-class members to Jedo.”
And even if you try to fake Sophia’s death… … .
‘As long as the system exists, it is impossible to fool me.’
If her death is certain, the quest will be complete.
Karvad, who can confirm whether Sophia is alive or dead through the system, is determined to eliminate Kayneth along with Sophia if she makes a false report.
No matter how talented he is, he cannot leave a being who has shown the possibility of betrayal alone.
“Now, what will you choose?”
Karvad started giggling like a child.
* * *
Kaynes and Grans left the church headquarters and boarded the black carriage.
Silence flowing for 30 minutes.
In the end, Keynes bit her lip and glared at Grans.
“… … Do you really have to kill your sister?”
Grans closed her eyes and nodded once. didn’t say anything
In the most frustrating situation, Kayneth cursed inwardly and put his right hand on his forehead.
‘If I send a telegram to Endairon now, it will 100% be caught by Grans.’
Transmission also uses mana, so Grans’s suspicions cannot be avoided.
In the end, Kayneth’s legs trembled, trying to calm his complicated mind, until he returned to the mansion.
Despite Kayneth’s appearance, Grans remained silent with her eyes closed.
After five hours, the wagon arrived at the forest near Karvan.
“The headmaster’s orders are absolute.”
Gran, who got off the carriage, broke the silence.
“If you do well in this mission, I will appoint you as the heir to the Spey One family. If so, you will be able to become the master of the empire after me in the future. The kingdom territories promised by the headmaster… … Something to do with the empire later. so… … You, as a member of the church, follow the leader’s orders.”
“… … .”
Was it because Keynes hesitated to answer? Grans twitched her eyebrows and let out a murder.
“If you try to run away with Sophia… … I will find you and the child myself and kill them.”
Keynes let out a small groan.
Then, he got on a horse tied to a tree and set off for Karvan City one step ahead of Grans.
Looking at that figure, Grans sighed.
“I shouldn’t have let the two kids meet in the first place.”
He clicked his tongue a little and got on the horse.
I couldn’t have imagined that he had such a deep affection for Kayneth.
“Rather than that, why is Sophia… … .”
Grans went to Karvan with his brow furrowed as if he couldn’t understand the leader’s order.
Chapter 129
129. Church headquarters (4)
Kaynes returned to the mansion one step ahead of Grans. He immediately sent a telegram to Endairon.
-I confirmed that the wagon went into the forest, but… … A large barrier spread around it.
-You mean we can’t determine the exact location?
-Unfortunately… … .
Endairon’s answer made Keynes unable to hide his disappointment.
but… … .
-Still, as I measured the size of the barrier, I was able to specify it to some extent. It’s marked as the Alas Mountains on the map. Although the scale of the mountain range is quite gigantic… … .
-… … wait a minute.
Alas Mountains.
Just knowing the name of the mountain range is a great harvest.
Keynes pulled out a map from his subspace pocket. And I looked at the topography of the Alas Mountains one by one.
– Can you come back to my bedroom now?
-… … I’ll be fine. Wait a minute.
Endairon entered Kayneth’s bedroom and marked the route the wagon had traveled on a map.
“To this route… … Are there any areas surrounded by mountains?”
– So, what are you planning to do?
“Of course we have to attack. If he brings demon beasts from the demon realm… … Literally, the empire will come to an end.”
An order was even given to kill Sophia. It would be better to deal with the religious leader as soon as possible.
-He… … can you knock it down
“There are plenty of possibilities. From what I saw, he seemed to be on the edge of the 8th circle. No, maybe it’s still the 7th circle. So you should test it.”
Keynes immediately made contact with the Ardennes.
-Yes, there is also a branch in Karvan City, so we can prepare a wagon right away.
“Yes, please.”
-All right.
The time when the Ardennes side was preparing the wagon individually.
Suddenly, the sun rose in the middle of the sky.
When I heard that the wagon was ready, I went to the room to go.
“Let’s go to Islands.”
“If you intend to let Sophia run away… … .”
“I think you’ve already put your sister under surveillance. then… … I want to spend a little time with my sister.”
Grans touched her chin as if pondering for a moment, then nodded.
After a while, Arden’s carriage arrived at the Speywon family.
Rin slightly tilted her head at the fact that she was heading to the islands earlier than planned, but slightly slumped her shoulders as if she felt relieved by leaving the Spey One family.
And the carriage left Karvan and visited a small town around 6:00 PM.
After dinner at a luxury inn, Rin starts brushing her teeth.
“Haam~ Depending on today… … . I am very sleepy.”
With her eyes half-closed, she went back to the bedroom and lay face down on the bed.
smart smart
“Rin?”
A bedroom where no answer can be heard.
Keynes left the inn and entered Lynn’s bedroom through the window.
“sorry.”
He stole the bedroom key and went straight to the coachman.
“Stop in the middle of the city to repair the wagon, etc. Take measures to make it take more than five days for the system to be drafted.”
“Bocchan… … .”
“I will follow soon. I put Rin on sleeping pills, so he won’t be able to wake up for at least three or three days.”
“… … All right.”
“This is the key to Rin’s bedroom, so put it in the carriage around 9 or 10 am and leave.”
The coachman nodded without question at the urgency felt by Kayneth’s actions.
“Then, please.”
“… … I wish you the best of luck.”
Keynes put the cloak on his shoulders and immediately purchased a reliable-looking horse from the stable.
And Kaynes, who started to get out of the city on horseback.
He headed for the Alas Mountains marked on the map.
Swoop-
-Kenneth?
“Did you get it right away? You haven’t slept yet.”
-I was just about to get ready. Rather, what’s up?
Keynes told her all the information he had gleaned from his meeting with the religious leader.
and… … .
-The teacher… … You want my death?
At her startled voice, Kayneth smiled bitterly and nodded.
– So, where are you now?
“… … He said he would go to the demon realm the day after tomorrow. I was going to kill you anyway… … . I want to deal with it as soon as possible.”
-Stand, no way, you!
Kayneth slightly frowned as if deafening, and moved the communication port away.
– Stop it right now!
“I wanted to try the 8th circle magic anyway. It’s been a long time since I’ve been given a test place like this, but it’s too wasteful to just leave. Besides, if he goes to the demon realm… … You never know when the opportunity to kill will come again.”
-but… … !
After returning from the Pandemonium, there was no guarantee that the leader would continue to stay at the church headquarters.
