Devil’s Claw, Depth’s Wreck (7)
“crazy? Isn’t it Wilhelmina Sneijder’s subordinate?”
Gain’s voice dropped sharply. I nodded my head quickly.
The group huddled under the window, holding their breath.
Even the protagonist with good eyes was saying that, so it was absolutely not that I was wrong.
Their masks that look like they have crow’s wings attached to them.
Before long, the prince’s sharp nose moved like a black leopard preying on its prey.
Kinna and Willem were close to me and watched him.
The sound of someone swallowing saliva was heard. A long cobweb stretched out in the dusty corner of the room.
“…that’s the half mask I saw in the swamp that day.”
Look!
“The destination is a spice shop across the street.”
“Then why are you wearing a red robe? Wasn’t that the apocalyptic uniform? What is it, he was a saint in the hallucinations?”
“The twilight saint.”
I carefully pointed out. Ga-in smiled softly and moved on.
At that time, Sir John approached silently and lowered his posture by our side.
The cold twins were startled. Wow, the real sign is 0.
They think they’re the ghosts of Herrit’s father!
“It’s definitely different from the black robes we saw that day. I don’t even feel the ether. Let’s try to amplify the sound a little bit.”
“Yep.”
“do not be surprised.”
– nyang
Clever Lofi puts his forehead on my chest.
It was a move in preparation for becoming noisy.
I also gave the children a small talk in advance.
Paah! Soon, my ears became stuffy as if I had fallen into the water…
-Job, bum, bum!
“Are you saying that now? The black market is one of the most important supplies, how!”
Wow, it’s clearly a whisper, but it’s incredibly loud!
“Oh, well. There is no poverty in abundance. I thought there would be more corpses because of the war, but not at all. The savage imperial bastards burn it all down, so there’s nothing to save! Because there is not much gold. Can we be different?”
The prince’s forehead wrinkled nicely. I hurriedly grabbed his hilt and dried it.
“I was scolded……. Even so, the third Apostle is very worried. Have you heard of the fourth apostle?”
“no. What’s going on?”
“In the end, you took responsibility for the Statia secret room case and stepped down. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t his business… You know the master’s attitude well, don’t you?”
“Oh my God.”
“okay. Since he isn’t there, isn’t the next person in front of you? Rumors spread that the first and second apostles were killed immediately. The fifth apostle disappeared in the salt swamp.”
“Oh, I heard about it. It’s a big deal. The atmosphere here is ugly these days! It’s not just because of the war. In a few days, the warlocks…”
-Daughter! Daughter and Daughter!
Surprise!
As I was listening with immersion for a long time, the door of the perfume shop opened and a stinging noise came out.
Surprised children covered their ears with both hands.
I frowned and calmly waited for the next story.
‘Come here!’ The owner’s gentle greeting pierced his eardrums.
Dumpling, thump!
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
And, it was quiet. There was no sound from outside anymore.
Ga-in fluttered long eyelashes and turned to the teacher.
Sir John smiled politely.
As he collected the ether, a thin wind blew through his white hair.
“It seemed like it, but it’s not an ordinary shop after all. It completely blocks the ether from the outside.”
“Wow······. What are those people? Even so, the warlocks over there are so funny. What about the end, are you actually from Sneijder’s side? Is there even a branch in the basement?”
The blue eyes radiated a dazzling light.
I patted the very anxious children and whispered that it was okay over and over again.
Dead or missing, scary words came out one after another, and he seemed to be terrified.
I don’t know exactly what it is, but a child has a unique sense of humor.
I lost my father when I was ten, and even that night, I had an intuition that something had happened to my father just from my mother’s expression and my brother’s attitude.
Looking at the young faces, I suddenly remembered those days.
My brother and I were very young.
But as I listened to my aunts and uncles, my father’s firefighters, I vaguely realized something.
‘Hey, it’s Jesse. I’m still so young…! You’re too young!’
‘Our seo-seo, the class leader and smart, you know? Now you are your mother and Eunseo’s pillar. You and Jesse must work together to protect them.’
‘What are you talking about, they’re still elementary school students! Stop drinking soju!’
‘Instead, we are the pillars of these kids. Everyone’s going to the youngest college graduation ceremony, right?’
‘··········.’
‘We can help with all the outside work! I can even buy you diapers every week for Eunseo! I will take care of everything you can bring while attending school observation classes, athletics competitions, and Seon-ah’s hospital stay. But in the end, what the family endures is the will of the family is the most important thing. for the family to survive. Does any of us know that?’
…that our lives have completely changed.
And that you can never go back again.
“it’s okay. Up until now, the two of you have been brave and doing well, so it won’t be a big deal in the future. You are really brave.”
“yes.”
“That’s right. don’t worry about anything My uncles and aunts will help.”
“Claws too?”
“Then, the claws. It’s family.”
I smiled brightly and straightened the children’s hair.
The brothers and sisters’ expressions softened.
“·················ogue.”
At that moment, his eyes met with Djibril Dioff in the corner.
He was staring intently at me under the shadow of a dark bookshelf.
No, maybe he looked at this and thought differently.
Do you have anything to say? If you come up with a good idea, you can tell me right away.
– crumble, crumble
In the midst of a meaningless snowball fight for a moment, Prince Sedric was bustling next to him.
I slowly turned my head and was startled.
The red satin lined with the robe was very revealing.
Hey, why are you taking off your clothes all of a sudden?
“You can’t do this here.”
“You have enough information, so let’s break in there.”
Yes?!
I covered the eyes of the children with their mouths wide open, and I lowered my hand to see if it would be okay since there was still no exposure, but one beat late, I realized what he meant and closed my eyes.
Sir John replied softly.
“It is the most sensible option for now. If you enter the alley, there is a high risk of falling into the tricks of the warlocks, but I felt neither mana nor ether from them a while ago.”
Then the calculator in my head started rolling.
“So······.”

Over there, it’s a relatively easy opponent. I knew roughly what the plan was.
The fact that the red apocalyptic ‘Twilight Saints’ was Duke Sneijder’s subordinate was understandable if we looked back carefully.
At first glance, it seems that the two have something to do with each other, but Wilhelmina Sneijder was a human being who wanted to become a god.
After all, what she needed was an ‘environment’ in which the coming of the divine was desperately needed.
People who live happily with food, clothing, and shelter are usually not looking for God.
But it is a different time when people are in despair, no one trusts the current leader or superior, and everyone is secretly waiting for the hero to appear.
The Duke probably started working under the water on Lake Yeri, which was called the ‘City of Monasteries’ to create such an atmosphere.
I don’t know if this is the first base…
At least it would have been an important stepping stone. If all our hypotheses are correct.
“Heineken-sama, are you thinking the same as I was thinking right now?”
“Perhaps. Plus, it’s at the entrance to the Salt Pillar Quarter, so there’s less chance of us getting lost. It’s a good strategy in many ways.”
“Oh, I didn’t even think of that. You are smart.”
Ga-in gave a refreshing wink. In an instant, I felt my head getting warmer.
I turned my attention to the children.
“I really need to break up for a while now. Never leave the house, always stay with your toenails. Can you promise me?”
“I promise.”
“It’s easy!”
The two children quickly walked their little finger. My hands were filled with a little warmth.
“This is all we have. No one else is going to pick you up, so you have to be good at your paragraphs. Do you know what my uncle means?”
“yes.”
“Don’t worry, we are all grown up. He said his toenails were not going anywhere.”
Willem shrugged and said. Surprised, Ga-in and I looked at each other.
“Did the toenail say that? It would be very difficult to be here.”
“Yes, Princess Pink. Who is she waiting for? I said I wanted to stay here until he came back.”
“·················ogue.”
Kina added. waiting? Have you ever had someone to serve?
But I heard that the owner of the gods hadn’t appeared on the continent for a long time…
He looked to both sides to ask for the opinions of his friends, but the two men – the owners of the new things that appeared recently – also had a suspicious look.
Meanwhile, the prince was wearing a robe inside and out, all red.
Even in the midst of being serious, I had to look at him and think differently.
Umm, I guess I’ll need a mask.

After a while, the perfume shop ‘Alica in the country of fragrance’.
A place where the older people mainly buy souvenirs from the black market.
“Please, Alica. How can you really not? Is it really hard?”
“Well, let’s come.”
“Gosh. At this rate, you can’t find a test object anywhere! It’s going to be winter soon!”
Those who wore red and black robes surrounded a woman and prayed earnestly.
Most of them were wearing black masks like crows.
The owner of this place, called Alika, wore a black and red plaid dress, and in his hand held the flames of a bouncing beast.
It was as if something had been slaughtered in the space behind the curtain behind him.
Reddish hands and raised black hair once again created a bizarre harmony.
As if nothing happened, she placed it in a glass bowl and poured an unknown liquid into it.
The group of robes took a few steps back in great respect.
-Cheek…!
“Ugh!”
“Don’t worry. It’s just the process of extracting the magical spices. There is no such thing as poison. Wouldn’t it be nice to see you in a day or two?”
“No, you deal with corpses… just wondering.”
Some stuttered excuses.
The woman was exhausted and diligently walked over the counter.
The narrow shop was full of test tubes with white steam gushing out.
The cupboard right next to the entrance door was lined with perfume bottles of various colors.
In front of the entrance was a sculpture of a girl and a rabbit carved out of wood.
Somewhere there was a constant ticking and ticking sound of cog wheels.
It wasn’t just the noise from Alica’s pocket watch.
This was a store that was not turned off for 24 hours.
“The situation is serious now, Alica. The Statia secret room collapsed and even the salt swamp was ruined, so our superiors are not the only ones concerned.”
“I know you are in a hurry, but Even on the black market, knowing that a dead body is precious. How are you going to get it for the same price?”
“Child, isn’t it all about wanting to be nice to each other? Thanks to him, the black market is safe, so it’s good that you can continue to do business, and we’re on a great plan.”
“Isn’t there a ‘closed room’ in other areas?”
She said loudly as she picked up the bones of the flamingos hanging from the wall.
Then the guests coughed in vain.
“Uh-huh. I’m doing this for a reason.”
“Is there no reason to tell you about our supply-demand problem?”
“huh. That’s right—”
– Bump!
At that time, the store door opened without notice.
‘Jingle! Jingling!’ The paper hanging on the door roared loudly.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the entrance.
“What······.”
– touk
There stood a very strong man. For an instant there was an unexplained tension.
He hadn’t opened his mouth yet, but he exuded an overwhelming energy just by being there.
His black hair, like obsidian, swayed gracefully in the dark, and his broad chest belonged to those who had long trained in martial arts.

Overall, it was a very strange look.
However, judging by the fact that he was wearing a red robe and a black half-mask, he was the ‘Castle of Twilight’—especially one who could go in and out knowing the circumstances of the secret room.
Maybe it was a comrade who had visited from a very distant area.
“Come on, what are you doing?”
The elder among the crows finally got up the courage to ask. The man responded as if he was waiting.
“A living specimen.”
“Huh! Well, that’s what I see…!”
‘Oh my gosh!’ Some were flagships and covered their mouths with their sleeves.
Alika, who had seen all the stars on the black market, also frowned.
Looking back, he saw a man wrapped in black robes wrapped around his shoulders.
How I didn’t notice that at first sight was astonishing and my nose was stuffed.
The uninvited guest spoke in a blunt tone.
“The third apostle said he wanted a test subject.”
“Yeah, that’s right, but…. As you know, if you’re on the side with your life, you have to show the qualities of a paladin. Even if I didn’t wake up, one of my parents or grandparents had a temperament…”
“You’re picky about the subject.”
“okay. Of course, if you include the countermeasures, it’s quite …”

Old Rob’s words were suddenly blurred. Wrinkled eyes slowly looked up at the man.
“By the way······. say you Are you talking too short?”
“It seems to fit your condition.”
“Yes?”
The old man tilted his head. At the same time, the scarlet eyes beneath the mask flashed sharply.
Alica instinctively held the flamingo bones like a weapon—
– Awesome!
“Aww, avoid it!”
The man threw the body on his shoulder! The moment everyone runs to the door in astonishment,
“Where are you running?”
-Shoot ah, blah blah blah blah!
The pink subject protruding from the robe roared loudly.
The group’s poker froze in an instant!
