135. Wounds leave indelible marks (3)

After the warrior party and meal.

I followed Minerva’s words and headed to her library.

As usual, I went into a deserted alley, and whenever I turned my head, Minerva’s library appeared there.

“It’s always a convenient ability whenever I see it.”

You can create doors wherever you want.

I want to use it every day when I go home.

I turned the handle of Minerva, feeling envious of her abilities.

Kikki-

“I’m going in.”

“Boo-“

I lightly passed the meow guarding the library entrance.

Minerva, as usual, was making her way inside the library.

I approached Minerva who was building a tower with her books.

“Minerva.”

“Oh, hey! It’s a surprise! Why are you surprised! The tower has all collapsed, Junwoo!”

“… You told me to come to the library.”

“Hmm, that is true.”

Minerva sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

Maybe she was just building a tower because she was bored.

I didn’t particularly care that the tower collapsed.

I asked sitting across from Minerva.

“So, what do you want to say?”

“Didn’t I tell you? Devil. You said you found the location of the two guys.”

“Based on the information I gave you?”

“You can see that. Read this first.”

Minerva pulled out a black book from the ruins of the collapsed tower of books.

The title is ‘The Life of Harrel Gedeon’.

I took the black book Minerva handed me.

“Who is Harrel Gedeon?”

“The few remaining knights of the Sicilian Knights. Both of his arms were cut off by the family leader, Lennon, and he left the world himself.”

“… Well, a knight without arms has no reason to live.”

Cutting off the arms of a man who has been looking to become a knight all his life is like breaking a pianist’s fingers.

Because it is no different from dissolving everything that has lived in the air.

I understand that Harrel Gedeon’s book is black.

“The meow found it at dawn. If she had died out of sight, she wouldn’t have even been recorded in the library?”

“That is fortunate. Can I just read this?”

“Yeah, feel free to read it. The answer will be there.”

The answer to the demon king that exists in the capital city.

I hope it is the demon king of jealousy.

I opened the book and checked the life of Harrel Gedeon.

“… It’s a normal, stable life.”

I was born in a pretty good place.

Meet not bad parents.

I train in the village and build up my skills.

‘Father, mother. I will go to that capital and become a knight. Thank you for raising me!’

With the result of his hard training, he goes up to the capital and takes the knight test.

The result passed with a pull-up.

A skill that is ambiguous to pass and even more ambiguous to be eliminated.

In this way, the life of Gedeon’s prestigious Knights of the Ravens began.

“And a happy life follows. The money comes out and the people of the Knights are fine.”

Sometimes satin appeared in his daily life.

The daughter of the head of the family who speaks little and has a cold expression.

Gedeon also had feelings for Saten, who had an outstanding appearance.

At the same time, I also had doubts.

‘Senior. Why are you calling the head of the family a devil? I’m not sure… ‘

‘You don’t know because you haven’t experienced it? That b*tch is the devil A demon who was born after killing his parents even when he was born. I want to kill it if I can kill it… I don’t understand why the head of the household is keeping such a b*tch alive?’

A vicious evaluation mixed with hate.

Has Saten been living like this in her family?

Her crooked personality is probably also the result of the evaluations of those around her.

‘Spreads out thorns to defend against attacks around you… ‘

Hedgehog.

The saten of that period must have had a personality similar to that of a hedgehog.

Anyway.

The life of the Knights of Gedeon was an ordinary one.

Escort, patrol, training.

Through such a series of processes, I am gradually getting older.

An event occurs that changes the life of his knights.

“… After Saten’s kidnapping?”

“Yes, this idiot had no intention of getting off the sinking ship.”

The normal knights sensed a strange aura and left.

However, Gedeon, who was relatively incompetent, did not leave.

As a result, he lost both arms at the hands of an increasingly distraught Lennon, and carried his remaining two legs into the cliff.

Minerva began to explain to me what was missing.

“I couldn’t record the conversation within the Night Raven Knights because there were no creatures nearby. Is there anything written about what he said before he took his life? Read it.”

“I already tried to read it.”

“It’s crazy even if you tell me!”

Anyway.

I decided to read Gedeon’s will that Minerva said.

‘There are no more night crows… The future does not exist for the knights who have read chivalry… If only I had realized earlier… I wouldn’t have made that choice… ‘

Before he fell off the cliff, he left his last will and testament in the dispersing air.

‘Lennon, the patriarch who has only his pride left… Even in death, I will watch your ruin… The Demon King who was with me the moment I cut off my arm… I won’t forgive the four of you who joined hands with trash like the devil… One day your pride will pierce your heart… ‘

That was Gedeon’s last will.

With no more pages to turn, I set the book down on the desk.

“I must have seen the Demon King while his arm was cut off.”

“There is a high probability of that. The stronger the negative emotions, the greater the demon king’s power. So with a high probability… “

“Lennon, the patriarch of the Sicilian family, signed a contract with the Devil. You can see it that way.”

Minerva was silent as if the answer was correct.

The head of the prestigious Knights’ Order, the Ravens, has signed a contract with the Demon King.

She seemed very confused about that fact.

“Emperor of the Empire. The fact that that left arm signed a contract with the demon king will shock the citizens.”

“It would be a big shock if the Order of the Knights broke out in a situation where the Church was selling holy water.”

“So, in a situation where there is a demon king in the church, if it explodes until this day-“

“… Wait, Minerva.”

Is there a demon king in the church?

Minerva tilted her head as if asking why she was asking her obvious question.

From noble mtl dot com

“Isn’t it obvious? I said I found two demon lords. One of the knights. One is a denomination. I can tell just by sprinkling something strange called holy water.”

“Doubt and certainty feel different, don’t they? “

“I don’t know, but I should have told you now! Junwoo, why are you so dissatisfied!”

My head is dizzy.

I knew where the demon king was and what he was doing.

However, if you find out a lot of information at once like this, you have too many thoughts.

“… Minerva, I think I need to think about it.”

“Yeah, it will take some thinking. You choose who to attack first. I won’t bother giving you the answer.”

Minerva will respect my opinion.

I nodded at her and stood up from her seat.

Originally, I would have to make the choice alone.

This time I did not intend to decide this important matter alone.

“I guess we should give the warrior party a choice.”

I left the library and headed home.

It was a little faster than usual.

***

“In that sense, you choose.”

Whether to annihilate the Demon King of the Crow Knights first?

Whether to annihilate the Demon King of the Goddess Church first?

I gathered a party of warriors at a table and gave them a choice.

Luna raised her hand and asked a question.

“Mister! What’s better?!”

“Nothing is good. It’s just a matter of order.”

If the demon lord that was annihilated first is the demon lord of jealousy.

It also means my death hastened.

I will annihilate all the demon lords, so it’s really just a matter of order.

“Is saten first? Is Estiya first? It’s okay to interpret it that way.”

“Then I decided!”

Luna says she made up her mind immediately after changing to a human.

She shouted loudly.

“For me, Estiya first! Because I like Estiya! Destroy the church first!”

“Okay. 1 Vote for the denomination. Is there anyone else to decide next?”

As if he was waiting for my words.

Saten quietly raised her hand and said.

“I think it’s better to destroy the knights first.”

“The reason… Don’t bother asking.”

You don’t have to ask.

How much Saten hates her family.

Because I know everything.

Hare also raised her hand to see if she knew a little about that.

“… Me too, give me one vote for the Knights. It’s better to get rid of that quickly… “

“Two votes for knights. One denomination vote.”

All that’s left…

“Estiya. You are the only one.”

“Eh, am I the only one left? Burdensome!”

“You choose, Estiya. Which one do you want to destroy first?”

“Ugh, ugh… “

Estiya began to think seriously after taking a posture for the first time in a while.

Though she was badly beaten by the cult.

She is content with her current life and she doesn’t have as much hatred as Saten.

A matter of character.

Well, it could have been seen that way.

‘It’s very frustrating to others, but.’

Still, it was Estiya’s choice.

You should show respect.

While thinking that, I waited for Estiya’s answer.

A minute or so has passed.

Estiya raised her hand and shouted.

“I am! I still want to choose a church!”

“… The reason is?”

“Because Saten chose the Knights! I will do it with the Order!”

Melong-

Estiya stuck out her tongue to lick her satin.

It seemed that she hadn’t forgotten.

The thing Saten pushed at lunch.

Estiya didn’t seem to have forgotten.
