Devil’s Claw, The Wrecks of the Depths (12)
-Gugugugugu…
“Are you Noe?”
Sir John asked, holding the door frame.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t believe it, it was just that I was wondering how I knew the ‘adult figure’ of information.
Djibril Dioff was rubbing his head and glaring at me.
I glanced at the corridors that came and went incessantly before my eyes.
In one hallway, dozens of busts were lined up on either side of it, while in another hallway was decorated with splendid chandeliers and red carpets.
The hallway that had suddenly soared up there and disappeared was as delicate as an abandoned house.
There was also a passage that looked like a well-decorated greenhouse.
“Yeah, that’s…”

Overall, it was like a scene from some sci-fi movie. It’s kind of like a horror movie.
“I’m not sure how I’m sure. Maybe it’s because I’m unconsciously thinking about Noe-san so I feel that way. But it is also true that we have no clue about anything else.”
“That’s right.”
-Goo…
He replied softly and looked over the open door.
The flying corridors were all different, so I didn’t know where to get the clues.
The only thing they had in common was the fact that all the roads were headed this way.
The rest of the space was pitch black, and from time to time an unpleasant green energy, like a green algae, floated through the air.
Not some mana jellyfish.
“······There is a way to wait for someone to approach here, but I don’t know how long it will take. You never know what Berner Penetian or Madame Morhan might do in the meantime. For Kina, Willem, and Toenail, every second is urgent. Above all else, it doesn’t make sense to come all the way here and use a defensive strategy. Do you have a place to take care of yourself in someone else’s fortress?”
“Isn’t eating a little bit heady?”
It’s really annoying. I glared at the D.O.P guy with eyes asking him to close his mouth.
Besides, I’m not a big eater either. My brother eats more.
If you find out that there are two refrigerators and two kimchi refrigerators at home, I’ll skip ahead.
“When will the king know that he is not afraid at all when he sees it like that?”
-Daeeng…!
Just then, a bell rang from behind him hitting the eardrum.
We looked back in surprise.
From the large spring hanging on the upper floor of the warehouse, a majestic noise resounded.
I opened my eyes wide, wondering if it was already 2 in the morning.
Loffy also pricked up her ears and half-pulled her claws out. By the way-
“uh?”
– Deeng, Deeng…!
The clock was pointing to an ambiguous number like 25:36.
It was not time for the bell to ring by any standard in the world.
Somehow I felt awkward. The machine didn’t even stop the alarm.
-Deeng, deeng, deeng…!
It felt like the beat was getting faster and faster, and the bell didn’t stop when the minute hand reached 37.
Lofi bent her back and began to set her hair up like a hedgehog.
Embarrassed, I instinctively took a step back.
D.O.P pushed my back and urged me to stand properly.
I blinked busily and looked up at him and Sir John.
·······Damn it, damn it!
“That sounds like a warning sound!”
-Deng, den, den, den…!
“It was just a matter of opinion. Excuse me, my lord.”
Whoops! Father Herrit lifted me lightly with the power of the air.
D.O.P also flew into the air.
The wizard sharpened his teeth and glanced at the entire warehouse with a sharp gaze.
After all, he was the first to go into the darkness, and he was terrified of a violent swear word.
The black robe was now fluttering like a thick sap.
“Damn, you put some sort of warning magic on the whole warehouse. But it’s not a normal order. I can’t even guess the magic formula!”
-Deng Deng, Deng Deng, Deng Deng, Deng Deng!
“Confucius, it’s behind you!”
I shouted as I advanced into the black air, and he bowed quickly.
Gugugugung…! At the same time, a huge and elongated tea room hallway narrowly passed the man’s head.
Confucius reflexively looked for his staff, and when he realized that it was with Sir John, he bit his lip.
Finally, as soon as Herit’s father crossed the threshold of the warehouse,
-·······Deng Deng, Deng Deng Deng!
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
“Huh, haha…”
The noise that made my heart tremble disappeared like a ghost.
I rubbed the back of Roffy’s back, who was still crouching, hard.

Only the pure white hair that was approaching could only draw a peaceful curve.
In other words, if there is no entry for a certain period of time after the door is opened, the warehouse regards it as an intrusion and sounds an alarm.
It was truly a fortress.
“…all of you did a great job. Then there, ah-ah-ah!”
-Kugugugung…!
I stumbled into the hallway, suddenly rushing under my feet.
Sir John snatched him up so quickly, damn it, he almost got swept up on the roof over there!
“It would be better to find the hallway from a while ago without moving away from each other. If there are other clues, let’s quickly review that as well.”
“yes. That’s what I meant!”
I nodded quickly and agreed.
It was the perfect timing to get ridiculed, but this time the D.O.
Because I couldn’t afford it anymore and the situation didn’t follow.
-Kugugugung…!
Wow, this time, only houses are coming!
I hugged the hem of the robe and the bag tightly in my arms, and hid the robe in the deepest part of my arms.
Then he moved his legs as hard as if he was swimming with Sir John.
It felt like being Nemo’s friends who were avoiding the giant squid in the deep sea.
Is this the right analogy?!
“What else is that, the funeral hall?!”
– Nyaaao
“Everyone be careful!”
I shouted loudly. Turn your course to the north-northwest at once!
*
maybe then
Kristel and Sedric had come down to the basement of the tavern.
‘Welcome to confessors’.
The writing on the door in front of me was clear.
Before that, I had a long conversation with Elizabeth.
I asked Canael, Leah, and Perry several times to take good care of each other.
He sang several lullabies while holding Tite who was whispering.
He handed the tavern owner a gold coin saying he wanted to rent the entire floor with the first class rooms.
Whenever he complained about waking up at midnight, the old man was delighted by pounding his bulging belly.
After solving that, the two went back to the basement.
Taking off the hood, the presence was not sufficiently blurred, and from time to time other guests of the room passed by looking at them with subtle glances.
But the men and women did not blink a single eye.
There was also a kid who smirked saying that he was newlywed, but he lightly ignored it.
Teacher Johan said that you shouldn’t kill people recklessly.
The teacher seemed to kill him like that, but anyway, they were pretty decent students.
– Tick Tick
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
So I knocked on Noe-san’s room again, but somehow the response was slow.
‘Kee?’ Demi tilted her head and looked up at the two of them.
The black bean eyes were giving a strange gaze.
‘peekaboo.’ Tite in the swaddling swaddling swaddling bag was also wringing her beard.
Their mate Juliet, the courtier, would have understood it earlier, but unfortunately, the two men and women were not as fluent in the new sign language (if such a thing existed).
In the end, Ga-in frowned.
Is the old man sleeping? I heard it’s open 24 hours.
Is it because my body was so young that my sleep time went back to that of an infant?
“.
What is it?
Water-colored eyes immediately stared upwards. The two pairs of eyes met sharply.
Cain did not back down at all.
To be honest, I couldn’t open it up in the past, but about 8 months ago, I was able to do it my way.
He tended to leave half of his words behind, and, if necessary, shouted without hesitation.
If you have any complaints, go out with an attitude of thinking about the side of someone you stabbed.
Then, surprisingly—really surprisingly—the man did not come out stronger.
Well, the Crown Prince also treated me more harshly. I called it Sam Sam.
“It’s like these illegal gambling establishments are open all year round.”
“Oh, is it that one?”
I am again Ga-in shrugged and looked back at the doorknob.
In the dark basement hallway, the constant gamblers’ shouts were resounding.
‘Quaaang!’ There was an occasional sound of the table breaking through the tightly closed door.
Large young men were also caught dragging someone out.
It seemed that unmanned participants were definitely filtered out.
If they were the Marquis of Serenite, it would have been a sight to behold with trembling shoulders, but the two of them were just dazed.
I heard that the Imperial Army will now reach the Yeri in a day or two.
They will get their karma back soon.
– Whoa
“Ugh, is our Tite also pathetic with those people? Also, you sound just like your sister, don’t you? Would you like to take your butts off once in a while so that you can’t sit and gamble?”
– Ae Woo-woong
“·················ogue.”
“By the way, Noe-san, do you sleep anywhere else? There is no response at all.”
“You’re pathetic.”
Wanna die?
– Tick tock, Tick tock
The prince stretched out his large hand and knocked silently seven times.
Then there was a voice that flashed through Kristel’s head like lightning!
‘Go down the basement, twice to the left, twice to the right. The room at the end of the hallway. Knock on the door seven times.’
ah! That’s what I should have remembered first!
“·················ogue.”
– Chia?
“·················ogue.”
-cadet?
But there was still no response from beyond the door.
Her scarlet eyes glared at the sign that said ‘Opening’ as if on fire.
Kristel chuckled, and suddenly remembered the winning hand that I would win!
– Bump!
So, I promptly opened the ‘Confession’ door.
Just like the old grandfather who brought milk and advocaat!
“anybody home? We are back!”
“…Oh my God, what’s going on?”
However, a voice was heard from a rather high place.
The water flower and the flame looked up at the ceiling at the same time.
At the top of the cramped space, I saw a small person standing on a ladder.
The priest was probably looking through the books in the cupboard.
Dooet, the magical lighting that lit up everywhere, created a very cozy atmosphere.
The candle holder on the desk added a subtle warmth.
Kristel waved her arms wide upwards.
“Hello, Noe. Excuse me for being late!”
“Aren’t you the children who went down to the black market? When did you come back?”
“I have a question. Only the two of us came up to solve it.”
“Twitter . . . . It is true that young people these days lack patience. Does that mean you suddenly come to see the old man at 2 in the morning?”
Ga-in smiled softly and scratched the bridge of his nose.
In my mind, I just want to lie down and sleep, but there were sick people and children who desperately needed help in the underground black market.
So I can’t help it.
“I’m sorry. You must be tired, so I’ll tell you right away. Do you know anything about ‘Devil’s Claw’?”
– Whoops!
As soon as the question was finished, the booklet fell from the hands of the informational.
‘Kyi!’ Demi, startled, hurriedly climbed up Cedric’s legs.
After confirming that the Shinsu was properly seated, the man approached the desk in an instant.
It was truly a movement driven by the senses. Above her head, Noe hurriedly raised her voice!
“It’s mine, kid. Just leave it there!”
‘Dop-seok!’ Without pretending to hear, he picked up the booklet and looked through it.
Kristel stepped up to the side and raised a stiletto. What is it?
“What…?”
what? It was a frame, not a book.
Two pairs of red and blue eyes narrowed at once.
The Actel, the size of two palms combined, contained a portrait just the size of it.
His face had faded and was slightly torn, but his face was unrecognizable.
Soon, Cain’s lips parted roundly.
“Excuse me, Noe-san, is this Noe-san? A person who wore a priest’s outfit and looked very cute. sitting man! Early-mid twenties face!”
“·················ogue.”
The old and young priest let out a long sigh, then grabbed the ladder and descended one step at a time.
Meanwhile, Sedric closely observed the two women in the portrait.
Among them, the person seated in the chair was obviously an informant.
Although they are now in the form of a child, their facial features are quite similar, and the point of wearing a priest’s uniform and hair color match.
Then, with serious eyes, he looked at the person standing there. Interest is…
“Who is behind you? sister? Brother? friend?”
“·················ogue.”
Relatively plain attire, long, wavy red-brown hair. Freckled face.
The back of the chair gripped tightly.
Unlike Noe, who smiles brightly at the painter, a woman who smiles at Noe like that.
“How do you bury the claws of the devil? You should be well aware that information on the black market doesn’t always come out.”
‘widely.’ The intelligence officer who finally reached the ground said calmly.
Cain quickly approached and bowed politely.
“My toenail hurts a lot, Mr. Noe. The warlocks there are taking away all the life force of the gods.”
The young face hardened like a corpse in an instant. Whatever it was, it seemed to be there.
The paladin eagerly spoke behind the scenes.
“We met young children there. My name is Kina and Willem, twelve-year-old twins who grew up on the black market. For now, I think those kids are the only ones that support the gods. We don’t even know…”
“·················ogue.”
“I heard that Shinmul is waiting for a friend. for hundreds of years.”
Noe hastily covered her mouth with her sleeve.
Then he rolled his big eyes to and fro, busily playing with his feet, and hid behind the desk.
Cain continued to do what he had to do.
“They are all dying of yellow, but I am really struggling. I wonder how long I can endure in that state, no matter how sick it is.”
“Oh my god······.”
A mournful voice rang out.
Cedric’s eyes stood sharper than his sword.
“·······The priest who betrayed the tree. Is that you?”
