Bad Master – 3
Atrium estate.
Before the return, it was the territory of the traitors of mankind.
They sided with Idria, the demon king of lies.
And raised a sword for Idria, and waged a fight against humanity for Idria.
Cald received the quest at the time and entered this estate.
Then the guy said:
“I have no choice but to kill them all.”
Xenia cried out in fright.
“Wait. First, listen to the story…”
“great. Then listen and kill me.”
“Mr. Kayle!”
“The Demon King has descended and humanity is in crisis. Betraying humanity at a time like this? Do you think this makes sense?”
Xenia shuts her mouth.
Kayle looked at me and said.
“This time, I have to break your fire.”
“Aren’t you going to wake up?”
“Made.”
“The number of residents in that territory is about three million. And those three million are all in unison with us.”
“·················ogue.”
“Imitating what you said a while ago, do you think this makes sense?”
Kyle was startled.
I continued.
“This is what Idria did.”
“What trick?”
“You should find out now. You are a warrior.”
Kayle bit her lip.
Come to think of it now, he must have received a quest from ‘The Road to Becoming a Hero’ back then.
Idria must have told you to kill all those people in the territory through that quest.
The Youngji people who made their own efforts to betray mankind.
Humanity doesn’t even know that and annihilates them all.
A very nice lie is completed for Idria.
Kayle said.
“no. kill.”
“hey.”
“This is the most certain…….”
He stopped talking behind him.
I didn’t know then, but I think I know now.
‘Because it’s the surest way to become a hero.’
As I stopped flashing, Trail spoke up.
[So what happened in the end?]
‘I said I’d leave the party if I killed them.’
[ok?]
‘So… well. Neryl said he would kill me right away.’
After that, Xenia also said that she would quit.
Ardwin and Offense.
Lissel and Serene.
In the end, Cale had no choice but to retreat.
At that time, the case was concluded with Xenia and Serrain working together to apply prison magic to the entire estate.
At that time, there was no support from the Jewel of Desolation, so I was very exhausted.
The people of the territory could not leave the territory until the final battle with the demon king.
‘It was an Adria-like technique indeed.’
[Are you sure it’s Idria’s masterpiece?]
‘uh. But I think we need to check it out.’
[Who’s secret with Idria?]
‘Calde. He can’t hold back his questions. He must have asked persistently and persistently.’
[Huh.]
Soon the screen popped up.
＜I used the Eye of the Battery.＞
＜Currently the battery’s eye level is 4. The secret level that can be read is A level.＞
＜The selection condition is ‘Secret between Idria and Caled Wake.’＞
＜This secret level is Class A. Browse.＞
As I expected, on the screen, Cald was asking Idria.
Surprisingly, Idria predicted that I would seek the oracle and go to the heavenly god.
‘It’s also tricky.’
But there is something else that surprised me the most.
Idria said:
“It’s a big deal. I still have two more weeks to get the oracle down. In the meantime, if Maid succeeds in communicating with the Heavenly God.”
this part.
2 weeks?
Are you saying that the preparation time required to write an article called an oracle is only two weeks?
It’s not a joke.
The flames had reached my eyebrows.
Then Idria opened the space.
There were four people lying on the other side of the space.
‘They!’
The first to fourth fingers of the lie.
Before returning, Idria’s limbs tormented our party to death.
Originally, there must have been the fifth finger, the terranaim, or Ophelia.
There was only one empty space, which strangely warmed my heart.
Idria pulled out her fourth finger, opened the space and sent it somewhere.
Then Cale’s voice was heard.
“Is it okay to let go of my five limbs so easily?”
“The fourth finger is not a weakling like Terranaim. The same goes for the rest.”
“But… wouldn’t it be better to send the other four all at once?”
“If I could afford it, I would. However, preparing an oracle and lending power to the Sioux at the same time is a daunting task for any country.”
Five. This is good news.
It would have been difficult for Idria to pretend to be crazy and send all the remaining four fingers away.
Then Idria asked Caled.
“Do you believe in a heavenly god?”
“What do you mean out of the blue?”
“If you believe, pray. Because that’s what I want to do too.”
Idria continued.
“If Maid gets the oracle first, it’s all over.”
drop.
The screen is cut off.
‘He is a demon king who offers prayers to the heavenly gods.’
It would be a truly amazing scene.
Shall I ask you to show it to me when I decapitate him?
‘Anyway.’
The fourth finger of the lie, Sabaq.
I remember he was a very annoying guy.
Under the circumstances, it must have been the fourth finger that made the Atrium Territory betray mankind before the return.
[How is that possible? Does that sabak man even control humans?]
‘I don’t know how. At that time, I didn’t have enough time to find a way.’
The fourth finger that built up the barriers of humans and protected them behind them.
At the time, it was best to break through the human wall and kill the fourth finger, so I didn’t have time to delve deeper.
I thought for a moment and opened my mouth.
“We will go. your majesty.”
The group quickly turns to look at me.
The emperor was glad and said.
-Oh oh. would you do that?
“Yes. Because it was nothing else and the lives of Youngji people were at stake.”
– Do you really think they’re going to commit suicide? Anyone’s life is precious.
“Your Majesty saw that too, so you contacted me, didn’t you?”
-·········.
“Please wait for the good news. Excuse me first.”
drop.
I put the beads in the bag.
As if waiting, says Neryl.
“Made. Will there be time for that?”
“Well.”
“Of course, I’m also worried about Youngji-min. It looks like Idria has done something.”
“right. Idria is trying to buy time. Until we prepare a fake oracle, we won’t be able to use any other numbers.”
“Then, if you go to the Atrium territory now, isn’t it like playing in the hands of the Demon King?”
I shook my head.
“Fake trusts come down in two weeks.”
Everyone in the party opened their mouths.
Serene muttered.
“I think Maid should just be the priest. It’s a fake oracle anyway, so it doesn’t matter if there is a fake priest.”
“Anyway, Xenia, considering the distance between the atrium estate and the ‘starting line’, how long can you stay in the atrium out of the total of 2 weeks?”
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Xenia took out a map and moaned a little before answering.
“No matter how much I catch, four days? not. About three days.”
“You mean I can finish my work in the atrium estate within three days?”
“yes. But is that possible?”
I answered in a light tone on purpose.
“We have to make it possible.”
Whether Agril was also grasping the atmosphere, he flew to the atrium territory without saying a word without commanding the divine power.
When the morning sun rose, we were floating above the atrium estate, to be precise, over the estate of the estate.
“Let’s get off.”
widely.
We all landed on our balcony.
Offense said.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been with you guys and went in and out of places other than the front door.”
“Because that’s the case.”
“Aren’t you going to be mistaken for a thief?”
“Then let’s clear up the misunderstanding. physically.”
“·················ogue.”
The window was locked, but when Lissel uttered a light elemental word, the latch on the inside opened.
Upon entering, luckily, it seemed to be the lord’s office.
Whether it’s because he’s lost his body or because he’s out of his mind, the lord didn’t notice our entrance.
‘Probably the latter.’
He had his head wrapped around him and his head banged on the desk.
“Ugh. Why is this happening?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Ask because I don’t know! I revolted in the capital… and?”
He jumped up from his seat.
Both eyes are wide open.
I comforted him.
“Actually, it should be called a threat rather than a rebellion. You didn’t point your sword at the capital, did you? He aimed at himself.”
“That, you?”
“This is Made Mohan. These are my colleagues.”
I don’t know if it would suit this situation, but anyway, the party members introduced themselves in different ways.
Youngjoo stumbled and sat down on the chair.
Then he looked up at the ceiling and murmured like a madman.
“It happened like this.”
said Neryl.
“Looking at her face, it doesn’t look like she was sincere, did she? If you do not recognize Kayle as a hero, you will commit suicide.”
“······no. It’s sincere.”
“Do not lie. You were clearly regretting just a moment ago. Aren’t you worried about why this happened?”
“I must have heard it wrong. I never said that.”
The young lord, who had come to his senses, looked at us with a fairly determined and clear eye.
If I hadn’t seen it before, I would have seriously misunderstood it.
‘You didn’t seem like a person with great acting skills?’
[Are you being controlled? to that fourth finger.]
‘Ugh. Wait a minute.’
I winked at Neryl.
She signed the sign with a light gesture.
I used that magic a while ago to recognize the Jewel of Corruption in Patrick’s eye.
I expected meaningful results.
But Neryl whispered with a darkened expression on his face.
“You don’t have anything?”
“No way. Try again.”
“I can do it hundreds of times if you want. But the result will be the same.”
Eh?
So this person and all these Youngjimins are sincere?
Are you seriously risking your life for Kayle?
That was then.
chuck.
Offense took a step forward.
Suddenly, a dagger was in his arms.
I asked in amazement.
“what are you doing?”
“Don’t worry. I can’t possibly kill anyone.”
“Usually that was my line.”
“Looks like you moved. Just get some blood out.”
“ah. That’s enough.”
Youngju shouted with a bewildered expression.
“no! What an absurd thing to say, a warrior.”
“·················ogue.”
“You can still call me a hero!”
“it’s over.”
“After all, the real hero is Kayle…… Huh? Are you done?”
Offense scratched the lord’s forearm in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, he put it in a small vial.
It was so clean that the blood had already stopped.
Xenia slowly approached him.
“Can I treat you?”
“a. Mr. Xenia. What kind of divine power do you use with that much? It would be better if I put some medicine on it.”
“It is. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“What?”
“I think more and more people agree with Fortress Serrain.”
Serene was angry, but Xenia didn’t even listen.
I smiled and said to Offense.
“Awesome workmanship.”
“If someone else said it, it would be a compliment, but if you say it, it’s just silly.”
“Well. Anyway, why did you need the lord’s blood?”
“Wait a minute.”
Offense took the vial and approached the window.
Then I shook the bottle a few times with the bottle shining in the sun.
The next moment, the boy’s face hardened.
We rushed to the offense.
And whispered in a voice so low that the lord could not hear it.
“Why?”
“This is poison.”
“poison? Is Yeongju okay?”
“Poison isn’t the only thing that kills people right away. Some are debilitating, some are simply painful.”
I shook my head.
“By the way, it was also a debilitating poison that the emperor killed the previous emperor.”
“okay. My teacher… Huh? what. Did you hear it?”
“uh.”
“I heard you didn’t ask?”
“Ask what? It was your teacher who killed the previous emperor. not you.”
At my words, Offense blinked a few times as if surprised.
Then, a soft smile appeared on his lips.
“I told you when you interviewed the Emperor after the Black Sun incident. The emperor poisoned the previous emperor.”
“Well.”
“Honestly, I was very excited back then. I don’t know if I should say it or not.”
“Again, that’s not what you did. Where do you need to tell me?”
After a moment’s silence, he opened his mouth.
“You seem really good at following me.”
“Don’t be silly and keep talking about poison.”
“Fufu. The name of this poison is ‘craving’. As its very honest name suggests, addiction to it makes you crave a new poison.”
Everyone who doesn’t understand what he’s saying tilts their heads.
Offense continued.
“If you compare it to a drug, would it be easier to understand? no. Maybe it’s correct to just say it’s a drug.”
“·················ogue.”
“If one drop dissolves in your blood, your whole head and mind will wonder when you can get another dose of this poison.”
“her.”
“If I could get a new poison, I would give it my all. property, people, and family. Maybe even your own life.”
Referring to the memories before the return and the eyes of the omniscient, this event must be the fourth finger of a lie?
Then Offense spoke.
“It was my teacher who created the craving. He is the one who poisoned the former emperor I spoke of briefly earlier.”
“What, what?”
“Well? Why are you so surprised?”
“·················ogue.”
what is that
The fourth finger is the teacher of offense, Hiren Gois?
After a moment’s silence, I opened my mouth.
“How widespread is the poison? In the assassination guild.”
“It is extremely rare. Because the only person who knew the recipe was the master. And the master… No, it was done.”
“Are you sure you don’t exist in this world? because you killed it.”
“··········!”
“sorry. I didn’t even ask, but the emperor spoke softly.”
Offense was a little embarrassed and took a step back.
“Oh, there were some circumstances at the time.”
“That’s Okay. Mr. Offense.”
“Serine?”
“What legendary assassin makes such a face? All you have to do is smile and smirk as you always do.”
I was a little surprised because it wasn’t anyone else, but Serane who treated offense the most.
The other party members were shrugging as if they didn’t care.
Offense scratched his head.
Then Ardwin asked.
“More than that, my brother. Does your brother think that this poison is the cause of the suicidal commotion?”
“There must be no other reason.”
“You just said that Uncle Offense. Hiren, who knew the recipe, died, and only a very small amount of the remaining poison was circulating. But this territory…”
“About three million. I know what you’re talking about.”
I looked straight at the offense and continued.
“In conclusion, Hiren Gois is alive.”
“··········!”
“No, to be precise, should I say ‘dead’? It’s like Ophelia’s case.”
Offense’s face was distorted, understanding what he was saying.
