Faith Life of a Former Scammer - Faith Life of a Former Scammer chapter 187

187. Hell’s Key

Absorbing energy from a key isn’t that special. At first, it was to gain a chance and absorb death, but now the amount of death only increased.

The problem was that it was with Black. If you do something with him, the result will be different from what you originally thought.

‘It’s cheating by chance.’

Ironically, Oren felt like he had been scammed. I was thinking of sharing the energy of death half and half, but I pushed all of them because of his change.

‘I thought it would be a combination.’

The sight of the ghost ships being divided into fleets and merging into one was spectacular. It was not completely repaired and transcended.

‘It looked like it was a trick.’

Since he couldn’t transcend, it seemed that he had strengthened it using other methods. All the ships came together and became a completely different ship.

The size has been reduced to a rather medium-sized ship, but it has become more solid and refined.

‘Is it because of the pirate ship that sank this time?’

The approximate reason why this result came out was seen, but the exact reason was not known.

Giyeon has always been like this.

Unbelievable results appear.

‘Well, it’s not a bad thing.’

Black was perfectly this guy. Black becoming stronger was the same as killing Killika becoming stronger.

How do you know?

The last conversation I had with Black was proof of that.

“In order to become a person who can stay by Oren-nim’s side, I will train more here in the West Sea. I plan to learn a lot while traveling on the sea.”

Of course I allowed it.

This West Sea was dominated by the pirate king for a long time before returning, so little information was known about it. If Black, who drives the Giyeon, takes a look at it, you will be able to take care of all the Giyeon in the West Sea.

Leaving Black in the West Sea, Oren returned to the villa outside Killica.

And immediately contacted the darkness.

“I have arrived at the villa.”

＜Oh! Are you talking this fast? How could you leave without leaving a trace?＞

That’s simple. You just have to return to Leon’s form and change your face.

“You mean to reveal the security system?”

Of course, I couldn’t tell you the truth. It was something that could be solved by simply giving off an atmosphere of dislike.

＜That’s not it. Hmm. I’m still very curious. ＞

“Don’t cross the line.”

Oren threw out a final warning.

＜Okay. Don’t worry, you won’t be wondering anymore.＞

“Let’s get to the point.”

＜Yes. Did you bring the key?＞

“I brought it.”

With those words, the ‘dark’ guy walked out of the darkness and said.

“I’m here to get it.”

“Looks like you’ve been waiting.”

“haha. Yes. Because the top is begging me to bring it quickly. Anyway, Mr. Oren isn’t even surprised.”

no. surprised.

I thought it would come soon, but I never thought it would come this soon.

It just didn’t show off.

“It’s strange that they don’t know when they come so loudly.”

“It’s not a big deal, is it? You were slow to respond this time?”

“You’ve grown quite a bit.”

At that, the boy burst into laughter.

This trivial conversation was important in its own way. It is the process of building a relationship with the dark one.

‘This guy is right to appease.’

The guy who didn’t know Oren’s inner thoughts burst into laughter once again.

“I didn’t know you were joking. As expected, conversations with Lord Oren are always fun.”

Oren pretended not to hear and changed the subject.

“I found out why the ghost ship suddenly appeared.”

“Yes?”

“Who was the Pirate King?”

“Why is that?”

“I think he touched the key.”

“no way!”

Oren nodded.

“okay. The one who created the ghost ship is the Pirate King.”

The dead don’t speak.

If you want to cheat, targeting a guy who doesn’t speak is basic.

“… … It can’t be.”

The boy was lost in thought, confused.

“If anyone can handle the key, they will know.”

Oren gave the key fragment to Dark.

“The key is blank.”

“You mean he was aiming for something else?”

“That will not be it. It would be correct to assume that he did it to take control of the situation.”

“Hmm. I was greedy, but I was greedy according to the subject?”

“Don’t ask me. I’m not the one who knows the pirate king better. I just deduced it from the ghost ship and the key.”

The boy thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“It is not an improbable story. If I was really stupid, I wouldn’t have made it into the plan.”

“Were you the one in charge?”

“It is not. Someone else was in charge.”

If you expressed it as someone else, it meant that you had a high-ranking person or a crush.

“Hmm.”

Oren pretended to be lost in thought for a while.

“done. Anyway, it’s something to go up and check.”

“What do you have?”

“I am still not sure.”

“Let’s talk. Could my information be helpful?”

First of all, I had to set the mood here.

“I am still not sure. Just think that there are opinions like this. Do not trust my story.”

It is a person’s heart to be in a hurry when you take a break.

“All right. Please tell me quickly.”

“I heard that it is an organization gathered for the destruction of the empire. However, the movement is strange for something like that.”

Oren said, tapping the desk with his hand.

“When you feel this sensation, it is one of two things. Is there a spy hiding? It is for a different purpose.”

“Yes? You have a reason… … ah.”

“none. It is just a sense, it is the realm of intuition.”

“It must be your intuition that can’t be wrong, right?”

“maybe.”

Hearing that, the guy immediately asked Oren a question.

“If you were me, Lord Oren, how would you move?”

The fish asked for rice cakes. Now all you have to do is pull it gently.

“It doesn’t do anything.”

“Yes?”

“I’m not sure if I said it, and there is a lack of information. I don’t go by intuition. instead.”

He was completely focused on Oren.

“You will doubt it.”

“Yes?”

“I will question things that I have taken for granted until now.”

“ah!”

After all, the dark guy was clever.

I understood exactly what Oren meant.

“That’s how you accumulate information and gain confidence. Again, I don’t act by gut feeling.”

“Thanks for the advice.”

“be careful. Doubt, but don’t be suspicious.”

“I have that much sense.”

That was enough.

“Oh, and a mission came down from above. It is a nomination request.”

If it was a nomination request, this meant that only Oren could do it. There was only one thing worth doing.

“After the gates of hell are opened, are you asking me to stop Bishop Leone?”

“you’re right. Just block it for two hours.”

“It’s specific.”

Two hours is a specific amount of time.

Please stop Leon.

Combining the two gives interesting results.

“Does anyone want to go in?”

“Yes. you’re right. The door will open quietly and be silent for 2 hours. You can stop it only then.”

It wasn’t difficult.

Rather, it was something to be welcomed.

‘Two of the key pieces are broken, but they say they’re going in there?’

If he wanted to test it himself first, there was no need to decline on this side.

“i get it. Is that the end of the mission?”

“That’s right.”

“Then, I guess we can start to settle things soon. Did you bring the activity expenses?”

“Ohh. Do you think I’ll be beaten twice? I brought it. Come and see.”

After that, I had a long conversation with him about activity expenses.

Increased mask level.

Settlement of activity expenses.

The two of them had quite a few conversations.

* * *

For several days, Leone was busy. Man-made sacred objects were produced and investigations were conducted on Hell.

I thought it would take a long time to investigate Hell, but there was an expert in Killika.

It was none other than the Purifier Elder.

“Most of the information about the demons of Hell is from folklore.”

“Isn’t there a record of warlocks summoning demons?”

“there is. However, it has not been confirmed whether it is really demonic.”

“What do you mean?”

Thanks to that, I was able to hear some interesting stories.

“This is a thesis on whether warlocks really borrowed power from the devil.”

“Can you tell me the main points?”

“There will be prisoners in Hell. The point of this thesis is to wonder if it was the prisoners we summoned and borrowed their power from.”

The black magicians borrowed their power, not the devil, but the prisoner of hell?

It was a different perspective.

“What is the basis?”

“There is no firm basis, but there is a legend that led to this thesis.”

“I’d like to ask for the core.”

“Simply put, it says that God created his own servants, each responsible for heaven and hell.”

“Aren’t they devils and angels?”

“There is no such record.”

“… … Yes?”

The more I delved into hell and the devil, the more I felt like the story was falling into a labyrinth.

“Do you know how demons came to be in the world in the first place? It is the Bible of each denomination.”

“A Bible?”

“Yes. From there, demons are portrayed as bad, and presented as evil. Most of the data has been lost, but what remains does not tell us anything about the devil.”

It meant that the very concept of the devil was created after the empire was established.

This was an amazing story.

“Haven’t warlocks summoned demons from hell before to receive power?”

“you’re right. However, it is not stated anywhere that the one summoned at that time was really the devil in charge of hell.”

Of course, it was a story that could not be completely trusted. It was a hell that I was investigating while working on improving the image of the purifier, so of course there was a lot of room for interpretation in a good way.

However, the Purifiers were the only ones who researched this much on the subject of hell.

“Thank you for good information.”

“no. To say that it helped the parish priest seems to be worth the effort.”

While we were preparing so slowly, time flew by.

And I started to feel the sense as a manager.

[The key (the door to hell) is being used.]

[The power of the key manager is activated.]

A notification window similar to the one when using a keyed person came to mind.

[The key is incomplete.]

It seemed that the problem was that the two pieces did not contain energy.

[The gates of hell open incompletely.]

With this notification window, Leon began to feel everything about Hell Gate.

An incompletely opened gate to hell with an imperfect key.

The senses were cut off everywhere, and the vision was dizzy. Everything was felt, but on the contrary, everything was not felt.

It was an incomplete sensation.

‘I do not care.’

You can’t get anything by feeling the full sense of the gates of hell. More important than sensation was location.

Fortunately, I could clearly feel where the gates of hell had opened.

‘Am I really crazy?’

I wondered if it would be opened in a mountain or sea where there were no people and it was difficult to access, but it opened the door to hell in an unexpected place.

‘He opened the gates of hell here?’

The place I chose from the dark side was very explicit.

A place like the heart of an empire.

The capital of the empire where the emperor resides.

It was ‘Manov’.
