Duke, Please Repent! chapter 242

44. The Duke and the Dark House Later (1)

So, in the end, Shion...who ran with it?

Eugene asked.

The prime suspect is Serpens, but it was Winston who was covered in vomit and water.

A certain demon appeared and

It seems that he is more concerned about the battle than with the .

'That was the decisive factor, but... .'

I didn't know that I would come up with it before any other possibility.

To Serpence, 'What had foretold the catastrophe that could occur when fighting with me seemed to have been erroneously engraved in Eugene's brain.

'Still, there's a corpse over there,' huh?'

Now that I look at it, I wasn't in a hurry. The robe that Serpens took off

covered the body.

I was unconsciously trying not to look at it, so I just discovered it.

If it's not a big deal, it's an action that doesn't matter. But sometimes these small considerations can make a bigger impression.

'Oh, if that's the case, I shouldn't have weakened my heart when I'm scolding you later... .'

In retrospect, it happened because I was taken care of.

The ego starts to fight with the ego that says it should be stingy at least once.

my butt hurts

Weren't you sick...?

I suddenly frowned and asked Yu-Jis as if worried.

It's not something that can be done right now. I'll have to postpone my worries to narcissism.

That's right, motion sickness. The Duke was fighting for me, and at the decisive moment he threw it at Sir Winston.

I didn't do it on purpose. The devil was trying to run away, so I ran after him.

cover... .

Eugenes looked at Serpens with his mouth wide open, and he hesitated to make excuses with an embarrassed expression.

Her gaze turned to me this time. I'm going to ask you if what he's saying is true.

I shrugged my shoulders to indicate that I didn't know, and Serpens's eyebrows drew an arm.

"Then why did you bring your aide to this place?"

I'm chasing Serpens, but Humanus, who has finished detecting the demon, doesn't notice.

intervened

This is a sharp question on the subject of Humanus.

"What was the result?"

Huh? Demon detection? Nothing.

I'm lucky. I have to hand over the personalities of the demon worshipers today, so it's better to postpone the investigation here and return to the capital of Iman.

Thus, Humanus' question was immediately ignored.

I didn't notice, but Humanus, who knew the priority of work, took his eyes off me and looked around.

Are those tied up over there demon lords?

Yes, that's right.

"Then what about the others?"

These are those who participated as guests in the auction house.

"Are you saying they're the ones who usually go to the dark area?"

Humanus' eyes sharpened.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], Humanus was angry at the presence of a cancer hump. It's not about leaving this place unattended, it's about the scent

It's probably because you can't see people who used to enjoy rock.

But you helped subdue the demon worshipers.

Sepi, you're too broad-minded, so you're wearing a mask.

I was so broad-minded, I sometimes gave my readers sweet potatoes, and Humanus, who heard the sound of hogu, cast a southern fire on me.

"Not everyone here has come to this place with a bad heart. After hearing the rumor that the sacred stone is being put up for auction, it has fallen into the hands of greedy people.

not to go in. Maybe some of you have come to deliver it to the church, don't you?

Serpens put his hand on his chest and said in a nuanced tone, 'I believe that the people of this world are good!'

Everyone gathered here, including Serpens, knows how absurd that is.

"Shin Seong-seok?! Did something like that come up?"

This is a rumor spread by demon worshipers to lure the nobles of the Empire.

Edo, it is quite possible that you have shed some light on how to get in here and about the Holy Stone.

"That that's it."

Their purpose is to weaken the power of the Empire. Holystone is the bait for it, and to cast them out is what demon worshipers desire most.

Hearing Serpense's words, Humanus made a squeaky sound and looked at the auction house customers with a conflicted expression.

"All of them volunteered to fight the demon worshipers.

Why don't you go in and out of black houses and treat sacred objects like ornamental jewels?

The external fence looked at people with the gaze, 'I trust you.'

With an angelic innocent face, they dug into their consciences at random.

Okay, I'll see Sepi today, so I'll just pretend I don't know.

Thank you for your understanding.

It's okay to say goodbye like that. It's my job to think of the empire. I'm more grateful for your consideration.

Saying that, Humanus stopped while trying to shoulder Serpens as usual.

What Serpence said last time must have been a bit of a shock.

I didn't think it would be fixed for the rest of my life, but I was expecting a response like this right away.

That's why people seem to use shock therapy at the expense of side effects.

Khhum! Instead, if there is evidence that you went in and out of the dark district later, it will be too early for you, so you better be careful not to get caught.

Humanus brought his lost hand to the front of his mouth and coughed in vain, threatening the shop customers for nothing.

Everyone had their sins committed, so they bowed their heads and crawled on their own.

One of them stood out in particular. He leaned back and hid himself behind the other's back.

Ah! There are people who aren't! There are those who wear colorful masks. Everyone else takes care of themselves when fighting, and the duke is fighting the demon, but what are you doing without protecting yourself?

I screamed!

What?! Someone like that devil worshiper?

Humanus' eyes sharpened like a knife at my taunt.

"And there were people who said that if I bought Shin Seong-seok, I would put it on display in a secret place in my house . It was exactly the same as Count Moslicker's voice I heard at the advisory meeting."

"When did I , suck!"

Count Moslicker raised his voice as if it was unfair, then quickly covered his mouth. But it's already too late.

"Sefi, don't you think you should look after those people?"

" Yes, do as you please."

Thus, Earl Moslicker and the son of an unknown nobleman were bound together with the demon.

I also wanted to pierce the names of the other two people on the killing book, but no one would fall for the same trick. Be content with getting rid of the loudest person.

As he looked at Serpens with a proud expression on his face, he blinked his eyes.

it was

It's a compliment that you did well.

Well then, we'll go out first.

Did you think that if you stayed like this, you might end up in the same situation?

Someone spoke awkwardly in an artificially low voice.

"Oh, oh, the gates are all broken, are you okay?"

He called them up, saying that Humanus had come up late.

Naturally, I was like, 'Yes, I have a secret doorway.

It's okay to know!'

The existence of the doorway itself was not well known in the first place, so it may be that you are keeping your mouth shut because you don't know.

Anxious voices were coming from all over the place, wondering if they were locked up.

'What the hell did Humanus do, let the gates be destroyed?

As the master of the holy sword, there is nothing to do properly.

If there is a way out, I know. If it's okay with you, let's go out together and help the demon worshipers evacuate.

Would you like to come?"

For some reason, this comment seems to be an excerpt of some of the quest lines of the game NPCs.

Because it was a necessary quest to get out of the dark district, there was not a single person who refused Serpence's offer.

"Is that also information from the Illuminati?"

"Did you even hear that?"

Yeah. So, of course, I thought the Illuminati would also be there... Maybe Sepi, didn't you just leave the work to you and run away?

Humanus looked around

said.

The tone seemed to be worried about where the innocent Serpence might have been deceived by a suspicious group.

Even though all the members of the Illuminati are here, you have to be misunderstood!

Could this be the woe of the secret society?

At least the dark elves, the masters of the dark district, should be here.

That's a hundred times correct.

Hearing Humanus' words, Euges can be seen paying attention.

Even now, he seems to be contemplating whether he should sneak out and wear makeup.

"That His life or death is uncertain."

Yes?!

Serpens shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth in a sad voice, and Eugene, whose life or death had suddenly become uncertain, was startled and screamed in response.

Winston didn't just scream, and his eyes widened at the sight of Serpens lying without saliva on his lips.

Money is the way to go, tell me as you go

I'll give it to you.

That, yes...

Seeing Serpens speaking in a gloomy voice, Humanus nodded.

We woke up the stunned demons and came out of the auction house.

The scenery outside was a barren ruin itself.

There was not even a shadow of a human being to be found in the streets.

All the doors were forcibly ripped off or left wide open, and at first glance, the appearance of broken furniture in between.

could check

There were, of course, no money items. It seems that the mob once swept through.

Euges, what the hell is going on...

What do you mean the life or death of the Dark House master is uncertain?

Whether there was, I'll ask again later.

Eugenes doesn't seem in the mood to explain it.

I promised later, and moved to the seat next to Serpens.

The person who managed the dark district under him appeared as a magician. Even so, I said that it is strange that the situation in the dark district is going unusually recently... Perhaps, with a high probability, by him...

Oh, that can't be!

As if it was hard to keep up with the words anymore, Serpence blurted out the end of his words and spoke bitterly.

Eugenes vehemently denied it.

Isn't the owner of the dark house a team too?

It's not!

Bur] I met, he wasn't like that.

At Humanus's displeasure, Eugenes wept.

Serpence also reinforced Eugene's opinion.

The owner of the dark house was also wary of him. Although he treats him as a limb because of necessity, he refers to him as a man of the dark house who can betray him at any time. Then...

"Hey, have hope! Even if you were seriously wounded by fighting the demons, it's clear that

You will be alive! Are you the one who conquered the dark district? If that's enough, you must have prepared some schemes to avoid the body just in case!

It is a battle between those who want to discard the used settings and those who want to reuse them.

Looking at Eugenes, who retorted with a desperate expression whether he liked the setting, Serpens smiled faintly.

Euges' statement is also true. I think I was too hasty. Yes, you are still alive.

Looking towards the direction of the Scorpion's tavern, Serpens spoke with a faint voice.

Thus, the life and death of the owner of the dark house came to an open end.
