Duke, Please Repent! chapter 292

52. The Duke's Interrogation (5)

After Edna handed the meal and went back, Serpens suddenly opened his mouth.

"Why did you say that?"

What?

It's a promise to come back here.

Why?

The guy looked at me with a grumpy expression.

I guess you don't like my answer.

Aren't you going to give me a vacation?

Eight! Yes, yes, I was kind! If you want Serpence to come along, you can follow.

"Sunwoo, don't be joking and answer seriously."

In case anyone would listen, I was careful, so even when we were just the two of us, 'Serpens, who used the pronoun of you, has been around for a long time.

Then he called my name and said.

It is in contrast to me, who called out his baptismal name because I wanted to at this time.

"No, well there's no guarantee that it will return "

So, did you give up?

"It's not If Luxmea has a conscience, won't you give her some time to say goodbye before sending her back?"

ha .

Serpens sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Anyone who sees it would know that he is living alone with the pain of the whole world.

"Who wants to sigh at the head of the table?"

" Is that important?"

Worrying about something that you can't solve is a waste of your mental energy and time. If you're stressed out for nothing, you're only losing your serpence.

Looking at you, it seems like I'm the only one who loses.

By the way. Serpence has been living at a loss for a lot of his life.

As I nodded my head, Serpens looked at me with an absurd expression.

Right now, knowing who you are worrying about is making you drowsy, you are asking yourself whether you are saying that.

You only have one life, but if possible, let's enjoy life comfortably!

"Is it okay to say, 'just once ?'

"The Demon King has returned, and Shion has been reincarnated . Basically, it should be considered once . Ebebe, I don't know, I don't know! Don't make things complicated for nothing.

yo. This!

In any case, the point would have been blurred.

This is all because of Luxmea.

Still, thanks to this, Serpense has had a chance to be happy. I'll have to take a look at it with an open mind.

"Anyway, let's eat whatever we want to eat and do whatever we want to live. It's good to prepare for the future, but it doesn't mean you have to give up happiness in the present, right?"

" Uh " O

"If there are no sharp numbers after the repelling of the demons, that's then.

It's something to go and think about. Now, let's go eat some bread.

"Why is the conclusion like that?"

Because there's leftovers to eat!

At my answer, the guy burst into laughter.

Not your usual pleasant laugh. The frown of his brow is closer to a bitter smile.

Was the meal halfway through?

As if he had even smelled the food, the old monkey groaned and woke up.

Hey, you're incredibly strong, unlike the old man.

While sticking out his tongue in admiration, Serpens, who was eating next to him, quietly stood up.

I thought I was going to slap him in the back of the head again, but he unexpectedly opened his mouth and asked a question.

How did you find out about that 'Living Dead' magic?

While Edna was away, it seems that he was intent on finding out information about the magic.

That's what I'd rather ask. How do you guys know the name of the magic that he passed on?

In response to Serpence's question, he expressed his doubts about becoming a demon.

After hearing that, I also had a question.

Did the demon king tell you directly? To the fool who was blinded by the ball, ruined all his plans, and was sent to kidnapped and then subdued?

"Not personally but the high priest heard his words and followed his teaching No, I didn't know why I was doing this.

Do you have to give it to me!

"What are you going to do when you talk and get angry?"

He's really funny

Whether he is angry or not, a strong Serfence is standing in front of me. I rested and resumed the paused meal.

It would be good if he eats in moderation and quickly.

" Wait, come to think of it, where did I go?!

Akseungi suddenly started looking for something called 'Ttoto'.

I'm guessing you're talking about the living dead that burned down under the circumstances. The name that would be given to any dog almost sounded like a saree.

When Serpens gestured his chin to the magic stone that was rolling on the floor, his expression turned white.

while he was about to blow up. I don't have a southern fire.

"Wow, what are you doing .

Dispel the magic on the corpse and set it on fire.

removed? Ge, how many days is it? Time freezes while I pass out.

Mana is gone?!

It's been about two hours.

Kindly, Serpens responded to the demon's words.

Of course, I didn't do it in good faith, just to observe his reaction.

"In what way?"

Didn't you show me a part of the magic circle? Thanks to that, Mr. Benevolen was able to find out how to do it.

Serpens said with a soft smile, as if expressing gratitude.

At the boy's attitude, the evil monkey went crazy and made an expression that he was going to jump.

It's nonsense! The magic circle I drew wasn't even a static magic! But...how can you make a great magic that he devised himself so easily...!

"Great ? Mr. Benevolen laughed at saying that it was a very crude and simple magic, but is it really the magic created by the Demon King?"

He didn't even saliva on his lips and lied.

As if in disbelief, I rolled my eyes

The appearance was so pure, and that made it even more brutal.

This type of interrogation is not his way.

I read through [Master of the Holy Sword], and the interrogation I personally experienced on the train going down to the Prasidus Spirit was not like this.

As if wrapped around a giant snake, a cool sensation that tightens your breath.

A feeling of pressure as if swallowed in one bite at the moment of being vigilant.

The way they play with their prey by stimulating their survival instincts is the serpen I know.

It is the method of interrogation of

It's not like I'm scratching the inside with such an innocent face.

I don't know where I learned that method.

"Mr. Benevolen broke the magic in 10 minutes, even though he was not even a fellow of the Holy Sword, but a general wizard. NS.

With one 500 won coin, you can buy bread and milk and use the remaining change to go to a hot bar.

It was as vain as the story of buying and eating.

However, the expression on the guy's face as if he was seriously analyzing it.

It sounded like the truth, as it seemed to be genuinely questioning how this could be.

Instead of accusing him of his fraudulent behavior, I quietly nodded and added credibility to his words.

Everything my kid said is right!

"I didn't know that the Demon Lord would be that much. I have been working hard since I was little to fight such a person.

you . It's really disappointing. Now than when I wasn't chosen as the master of the Holy Sword, I feel more injustice now.

Ah! Maybe that's why Luxmea passed the Holy Sword to Hugh Manus? There's no need to even go to Serpens, what is it? To be honest, Serpens is better at swordsmanship than Humanus, has more divine power, and it's all about magic. You have a lot of insight! It's much better in many ways, right?

Things like that... Um, I'm embarrassed.

Serpence covered my cheek with her palm, pretending to be shy.

Even if he dies soon, 'The Crown Prince is the one who deserves to be the master of the holy sword.' The word did not come out.

very desirable

All riddles solved! The truth is always one!

"What is that one truth ?"

"Of course, the Demon King is an idiot!"

Indeed, it is the wisdom of a messenger of the gods.

Serpens applauded in admiration.

Even though I knew it was meant to provoke the demon, I felt strange as if somehow he was making fun of me.

Oh, no...! It's not true, the Demon Lord... Tenebrio-sama is a great person! Even the magic he created is so famous that criminals cannot understand it!

"But it turned out like this, didn't it?"

"No it took me a while to learn that magic "

I'm sorry, but I think it's just that my skills are falling.

Such a cruel guy.

His words and deeds were tongue-in-cheek.

Serpence, don't be so pitiful. The other demons are working hand in hand with the Prince of the Duchy of Fold to strike the back of the head of the Holy Sword and the party. Seeing this here, you can see that he has been demoted. That child is definitely the Prince. You don't even know you're on the side of this evil force?

"Is there such a plan ?!"

The old monkey's eyes fluttered at my thoughtful words.

If I had responded that I knew it, I would have been sure of it.

'Ah, this makes it a bit vague... .'

It's a different area, so the information is blocked to maintain security, so the monkey just doesn't know, or the Principality is innocent.

It's hard to say for sure either way.

'Did Serpens have a suspected disease?'

In any case, it is certain that the old ape knows nothing about the affairs of the Principality.

I licked my lips in disappointment, dipped the bread into the soup and put it in my mouth.

No, no... I'm under the command of an important operation... to bring Anima Fruito, the party of the Holy Sword, to our side...

"Is this a lower priority operation than kidnapping me without any armed forces?"

That , yes! Edna Benevolen! That gore was actually a genius]! That's how it was able to break the magic of a great man! Uh-ha, uh-huh ! Yeah,

That's it!

That's an amazing upward leveling.

A figure smiling haphazardly with eyes out of focus. I seem to have completely lost my mind. You probably don't even know what you're talking about right now.

There was a strange feeling on the face of the vain old man.

'I think I've seen something like that somewhere... ?One

Last year, when Serpens went to subjugate the Volta Mountains, the last expression on the monkey's face was exactly that.

It seems that the demons can't keep up their pace if they cut down on the Demon King.

I was biting my tongue in pity, and black magic flowed out like smoke from the devil... They all immediately dispersed.

with a 'pop' sound.

Needless to say, Serpens stunned him.

Huh? Can I just stun him? It sounds like something is about to blow?

You were wrong. Anyone can see that the black magic was on the verge of a runaway.

Isn't that because Serpence provoked me? Where did you learn how to turn someone inside out like that?

Serpent tilted his head with a bewildered expression at the words of his sincere admiration.

Didn't I follow you?

Ayush, our serpens, you're good at jokes now!

It's serious.

Hey, don't be kidding.

Don't turn away from reality, look me in the eye.

do you think?"

Serpent, who threw the stunned monkey away, sat down next to me again and asked.

His green eyes twinkled with a clear light. There was not a single lie in the two eyes that met.

I thought it would be quite useful if I kept the line in moderation, so I followed it.

"But didn't the devil just cross that line and go crazy?"

Isn't that your fault?

What am I?

" if you didn't know."

Serpence as if nothing had happened. After the soup was elegantly stirred, the meal continued.

I placed the spoon on the empty bowl at an angle and removed my hand.

Looking at the monkey's reaction, as expected, the Demon King told me how to make the Living Dead, right?

It looks like it to me.

"The Living Dead magic should have been created after the doll play magic was leaked, but if the Demon King came up with the Living Dead magic, saying he made it himself . No, what do you mean?"

The 'should''ve been since the original magic leaked, after you came here.

Serpens briefly summarized the vague thoughts floating around in my head.

In other words, it means that it is not the time of the 'now' that the magic of doll play leaked out.

'[Is the master of the holy sword leaking while it was in progress?'

In the end, all they found out by interrogating the demon was that they could never find out who leaked the magic.

all.
