The Devil’s Dead Child - Chapter 244



Only Noblemtl

#244, Convocation

I took my gaze away from the Five Kingdoms and looked back at Casas.

“… … .”

I believe in people,

There are people who think that there were circumstances that could not be helped.

Some people will be angry and ask why they were deceived when they were still alive.

The problem is that if the latter is the person you originally had a relationship with, the anger is not just pure anger.

The moment the emotions of the person I am trying to understand become complex and subtle, my mind goes blank.

Where should I start the conversation?

My eyes are puffy. Fluttering pupils.

Rough breathing, as if trying to control some kind of passion.

Looking at Casas’ completely unexpected expression, the first words did not come to mind easily.

The unconscious action of scratching the back of the head may be an automatic assistive function that stimulates the blood vessels in the head.

In the end, Casas spoke first.

“… It’s been a while. “Professor Han.”

Phew… .

I was relieved to hear Casas’ well-ordered greeting.

The reason I feel that men are better when dealing with other people’s emotions is,

The point was that I was reluctant to use expressions that I was not familiar with.

Finally, my head started spinning.

“Well, actually… , We haven’t been together in a long time.”

“… ?”

Casas gave a puzzled look.

“After barely surviving Lumpgate, I have been living under a different identity. what… There were circumstances that made it unavoidable, but it is also true that I deceived you. “The story about the Five Kingdoms is half true.”

“her… A human who came back alive from such a disaster… It’s a situation where I have to hide. … I can’t feel it. But in the meantime, you’re saying we’ve run into each other before?”

Instead of answering, I connected the broken part of the polymorph tattoo with magic.

“… … .”

A thin, condensed line of magical power tickled a single point of skin and then spread throughout the entire tattoo.

Casas’ facial muscles also showed drastic changes, as did the sense of his muscles and the change in eye height as he grew slightly taller.

“Joe, President George… ?”

chin!

Casas, who had taken a step back in surprise, tripped over a bench and fell down.

“While I was gone from the world, I was with you. I didn’t mean to cheat. “Please understand that I couldn’t even tell my parents.”

Casas, who had been sitting in a daze, suddenly started laughing like a crazy person.

“her… . Hehehe… . Hahaha! “Bwahahahaha!”

… Why is it so scary?

“What’s so funny?”

“Ugh… . “I just remembered the last time I met the president, or rather, Professor Han.”

“… Was it Estreya? “The day she came to visit with Queen Ximena.”

Casas nodded and stood up.

“you’re right. “That day, a professor told me where the president was.”

“Yeah… Because you wanted to break the wall back then… .”

“So what I’m saying is that the Chairman knew that he would survive Rumpgate. Hehe. “It’s funny that Director Oh was right.”

“… “I wasn’t sure either.”

“Of course, I believe it wasn’t a deception.”

“It’s not a cult.”

“I just…” . Thank you.”

“… what?”

“Anyway, doesn’t that mean that that one professor chose Casas Sergio as his colleague to be with him during his quiet time when he couldn’t tell anyone?”

Eat.

“okay. If you think about it, you were the first pick in the draft. “Put it up like that.”

Although the obedience spell was still placed on Casas’ sword, unlike Joo Ja-heon in the past, Casas had time to break away from the spell each day and look back on the day.

I guess you don’t wear your sword until you wash up and go to bed.

That’s why I was truly grateful for Casas’s heart.

“So now, are you completely going back to being a professor?”

I nodded and shook my head again.

With a slight difference, Casas’ question was heard as a question of whether he was going to abandon him.

“It’s right to go back… . I think George has some work to do. “I hope you keep helping me.”

Casas immediately answered with a brightened face.

“of course. “What can I do?”

He said while checking his watch.

“now… “In 23 hours and 47 minutes, a great disaster will strike Korea.”

“yes… ? Seriously, are there any signs of Rumpgate again?”

“no. “Because Lumpgate is also a local phenomenon, it will be a minor disaster compared to this incident.”

“Well, then how much… !”

“I don’t have time to go into detail, so let’s ask questions later.”

Casas pursed his lips and nodded.

“Mobilize all of your connections and Vida Eterna’s assets to attract as many hunters as possible within the next 23 hours. You can hire them as mercenaries, and the approach of creating a guild under Etherna is also good. Whatever it is, raise the quality of your troops and gather them at the portal. “I will let you know when the coordinates are decided.”

“All right.”

Beep. Tididik!

Casas set the stopwatch in front of me and ran straight toward the portal.

Thump thump thump.

“ah! Oh Chief!”

Casas, who was standing on the circular plate, realized the absence of the portal manager and turned around.

I motioned for him to stay as I would wake him up and then approached the Five Kingdoms.

“… … .”

“You heard it roughly. wake up. “I don’t even have time to hit you.”

Did I not know about the presence of the Five Kingdoms, who came to his senses during the conversation with Casas and was belatedly shocked?

The Five Kingdoms jumped up and ran to the management office.

“yes yes! “Where are you going?”

***

After telling Director Park that if there were any useful superhuman forces on Lanzarote Island, please gather them and send them to me, I flew to Aaron Farm.

From the air, I saw Seongyun, her mother and Gaon in her arms, walking side by side.

Maru could also be seen walking about 10 meters ahead of the mother and daughter.

Looking at the peaceful appearance, my mother must have missed the news.

The only people here who bother to search for news are the Five Kingdoms, and the farm workers don’t even watch TV much.

I also need Maru’s help… .

‘What will Seongyoon say to this guy?’

ah.

Come to think of it, the beginning of Chapter 2 also meant that the Charybdis Lord had built a nest in the underwater dungeon.

What is the probability that Katrina, who was so worried about Maru, should have stayed there?

… … does not exist.

In the original story, Katrina, who was released from the ban after her father’s death, could be seen as using human greed as bait to express her anger, but as someone who knows Maru’s existence, it can only be an absurd development.

at last… , I guess this guy is just a supporting actor on stage under the control of the system.

I felt Aaron’s presence in the warehouse, so I went down there.

“Aaron! I’m here.”

When I looked into the open warehouse, I saw Aaron petting Alma (Dong-gu’s wife) while she was eating.

“uh? “What about Emma and Leah?”

“You kept harassing Alma so I found another owner.”

Emma and Leah are female pups with more collie genes and have been staying with Alma all along.

It seems that Alma, who was smaller in size, continued to suffer because she stayed at home instead of living in a group with Dong-gu like Leo, Axel, and Luca.

“uh… “I see.”

“okay. “What’s going on?”

“What kind of greeting is that? “It seems like I only come here when something happens.”

“It wasn’t like that. “But I can distinguish the sound of your breathing when you feel sorry.”

“ah… . “I was a person with shame even in my breath.”

Aaron laughed as if it were absurd.

“yes. I don’t have time, so I’ll tell you right away. A disaster will strike Korea tomorrow. “Please help me.”

“If it’s a disaster… ?”

“Hundreds of dungeons will break in succession, no newly created gate will be lower than B grade, and monsters will evolve into species we have never seen before.”

“… “It’s the end.”

Aaron did not question how to predict what will happen tomorrow.

“sorry. “I always ask difficult questions.”

It must have been evident in my expression that I felt sorry for hiding what happened to Mia, but since Aaron couldn’t see my face, I had to say it in words.

Aaron got up and put his hands on his knees.

“If you do that, the more people there are, the better.”

“We’re already collecting it from all over the place.”

“Is Korea ready to receive help from anyone?”

“What do you mean?”

“ah. I’m asking because I don’t know much. “If Russia requests large-scale coordinates, are you willing to open them up?”

“uh… that. “No matter what, it’s a country that’s under a ceasefire, so there’s a lot to argue about.”

It’s not that I haven’t thought about mobilizing the Russian military, but I concluded that ‘forcibly’ sending support to a country that already has negative feelings would not be helpful.

“Right… . “I was wondering if it would be okay if the army was made up of mercenaries.”

“uh? It’s okay if you’re a mercenary. “You just have to pay the price.”

If the Russian government dispatches troops, it may be perceived sensitively in Korea, but if it is mercenaries, it is a different story.

“okay. In the last Korea-Russia war, Russia conscripted and used mercenaries. Since we don’t have time, I will first use Luzinski’s power to mobilize mercenaries and then coordinate them well.”

“Ruzinski?”

“why. “Thanks to you, I can now have a private meeting with the Russian president.”

I had not personally seen the time that Aaron and Luzinski accumulated until the ceasefire agreement was signed.

“haha… . Anyway, it will definitely help.”

***

I could attract more people if I went on air and sold my face and name, but

Considering the timing, cause, and efficiency, there were more losses than benefits.

I did not want a group of young people with no skills but full of enthusiasm to die in a land where they had no connections.

It was a time when people could be misunderstood if they were gathering together a group of soldiers like private soldiers without giving any particular reason.

However, it was not possible to make the people panic in a land where they had nowhere to flee.

In the end, it’s just a matter of trusting the abilities of the people I connect with.

Casas leaves,

After Aaron went through the portal,

I wondered if this was all I had in my network.

“There must be people in the country you can ask for help… .”

There may be many people who just want to help.

The problem was that I had to be someone who would trust me without even asking or questioning even a somewhat absurd order.

… Should I also contact Ma Dong-wook and Park Dae-geun?

okay. Let’s give it a try.

I’ve tried it, but I’m lazy.

Wait, before that… .

Trust me unconditionally,

There was one more connection whose military was stronger than any other military force.

‘Tagaros.’

-yes. My lord.

‘How big is your family’s military strength?’

-Excluding monsters, there are about 300 family members up to the branch level.

Monsters. So, broadly speaking, it includes the monsters that are their livestock,

To be precise, it was distinguished from monsters that had been eliteized.

The monsters that went through the transformation in Chapter 5 were monsters in their wild state that had reached the level to be used as an army of demons.

‘Can we convene right away?’

-Have you finally made up your mind?

‘Let me ask you one thing first. I understand that the kings of the demon world and high-ranking demons can rule over demons without having to personally sign a seal of subordination. ‘I guess it’s because of Magi, right?’

-That’s right.

‘Then your family members won’t obey me?’

-that… The problem will be resolved when the lord finds the devil and announces that he will go to the royal capital. Magi is everywhere.

It means to become a real demon.

There is nothing to be reluctant about if it helps.

So, if we can control low-level monsters, we can greatly reduce the damage.

Still, those above mid-boss have a high level of ego, so you have to suppress them to be heard.

‘okay… . Convene. Before that, I will also look into your family’s strength.’
