Episode 699 The Royal Family’s Enmity (5)
I’ve heard people say they’re beautiful, but this is the first time they’ve said they look creepy.
“Looks like you came to see me. What happen?”
She took a small breath and hesitated for a moment at his direct question.
Thinking about it for a while.
Soon, he opens his mouth with a firm expression as if he has decided on something.
“I want you to examine my body.”
“The body?”
She slipped up her sleeves.
Then, at a glance, I saw something like black veins sprouting from the white jade-like skin.
Even at a glance, it seemed that it was connected for a long time by hand.
What is that?
she said, hiding her skin.
“I came because I thought that if you recognized my ‘chronic illness’, there might be a way.”
“So you’re asking me to fix that chronic disease or something?”
“yes. I will pay you.”
Seeing the bishop and priest showing his determination, Ray thought for a moment.
‘The affairs of the Glaman Kingdom have not yet been sorted out.’
In order, it is correct to prioritize the Kingdom of Gleiman.
The demonic religion had not completely withdrawn from within the kingdom, and the faction of nobles was still frantic to push the king out.
At least King Gleiman wasn’t safe yet.
It is probably for that reason that nobles are not allowed to meet.
But even so, he was reluctant to throw out the patient who came to him with hope.
Ray, who was quite worried, nodded his head.
“I’ll see and then decide. Is that okay?”
At those words, the bishop’s complexion brightened.
“yes. Take a look and judge for yourself.”
In the worst case, I was expecting to be rejected with a single knife, but I was accepted more than expected.
She took the lead, not hiding her joy.
“Let’s go to where I am staying.”
Seeing as he was trying to go to the private room instead of somewhere else, it seemed that there was surveillance around him.
Well, since he’s about the level of a bishop or priest, it’s not unreasonable for him to keep a close eye on him in the black room.
When she spread her senses and looked around, sure enough, she sensed several workers wandering around her.
“great.”
Ray followed her without saying anything.
* * *
Dozens of minutes after receiving the request and starting to follow.
She did not head straight to the VIP room, but walked around the inner sanctuary.
The reason is to evade the surveillance attached to the back.
‘Looks like he’s worried about surveillance.’
The number of people following has increased from before.
Among them, there were even those who secretly followed, oblivious to their presence, as if they had undergone professional training.
The Bishop Priest would have wandered around the castle in order to get rid of them, but rather, this only had the opposite effect.
It’s not like the black room is a place where only crooks gather.
There is no way to miss a person who has been targeted once.
As Ray, who had been followed by a black room once before, shook his head.
“Since I’m here at all, why don’t you scream at me to follow me?”
I’ve been walking around for over thirty minutes already.
Instead of being ostracized, more surveillance is starting to stick to it, so it’s only advertising in the neighborhood room.
To his sarcasm, the bishop-priest replied.
“But I’ve already ostracized a few people.”
“It just erased the signs.”
What used to be followed by one or two has now spread to over 10 people.
The thought of a unit moving behind him made his hamstrings tingle.
Ray, who didn’t want to, grabbed her by the wrist and led her.
He got out of the inner circle and headed towards the VIP room.
As soon as I arrived at the room, I widened my senses and looked around, and the people who were following me could no longer follow me and wandered around outside the VIP room.
“Silence.”
When he was able to relax after blocking the sound, Ray pulled a chair and sat down.
“Sit comfortably anywhere.”
“Yes, yes…”
The bishop, thinking that he had entered the room of an extramarital man, sat down at a distance.
Ray reheated the leftover black tea he drank in the morning and poured it into a teacup.
Soon, the soft scent of tea spread throughout the room.
Even she, who was stiff at first, sipped the tea as if her tension had gradually eased.
“…you’re good at it.”
The bishop and priest, who usually enjoyed the tea ceremony, had a gentle smile on his lips.
After sitting across from her and drinking tea for a while, Ray spoke first.
“So,” he asked, correcting his posture.
“I want to hear more about it soon.”
“Mmm.”
At those words, she expressed her disapproval for the first time during the conversation.
“sorry. I want to be honest with you, but…”
“Can’t talk because of the ban?”
At the word ‘prohibition’, the bishop’s eyes were slightly surprised.
“…Did you know?”
“How can you not know when you show off so openly? More than that, who bet that forbidden thing?”
We already know that the black room is in the background.
The important thing is who the hell is the person who made her accept the ban and allowed it.
It looks like it was planted when I was young.
If it was forcibly planted, he would have an antipathy towards the Heukbang or the Demonic Church.
However, as he saw her, she had antipathy toward the prohibition, but did not seem to have any resistance to the Black Room or the Demonic Church.
That meant she understood the restraints and accepted them to some extent.
Of course, I didn’t mean to forcefully interrogate her, but if she didn’t listen to everything, I couldn’t carelessly save her, who might be a person in the dark room.
Waiting for an answer, the bishop paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
“I can’t tell you. But… as far as I remember, my father… ugh!”
As she continued to speak, she grabbed her head.
It must be a kind of warning.
‘Blood and blood planted a forbidden drug?’
It is not an incomprehensible situation.
She is the wife of a bishop who is quite high in the Demonic Church.
Externally, it was not surprising that he had something installed on his head as he was in the position of a bishop.
Those who do such things without batting an eye.
I wanted to dig up a lot of things about the black room, but it seems difficult to do more than this because the gold is planted.
Ray nodded and took her arm.
“I don’t know how to fix it, but I’ll take a look if it’s in the condition.”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing the black veins he had seen before.
For some reason, I feel ominous.
At the same time, it seemed somehow familiar.
‘I think I’ve seen it somewhere…’
I left my heart behind and went up along the black veins.
The clothes were a bit in the way, so I rolled them up to my shoulders, but the bishop’s face was now burning brightly.
“Since when did this happen?”
“…well. I don’t remember things from my childhood.”
Is it the effect of the prohibition to answer indiscriminately?
If not, is it just that I really can’t remember?
I put my doubts behind me and looked at my pulse.
Pounding – pounding –
weak pulse is caught.
But strangely, it was a fairly contrived curve.
I’ve been able to pinpoint the pulse of countless people, but this is the first time I’ve ever experienced such an awkward beat.
‘It’s kind of strange.’
I don’t have a good feeling from before.
As it got closer to the chest, the black veins gradually took on a darker color.
I followed the traces of the demon that I could sense faintly.
From the hemostasis to the shoulder.
Again from the shoulder to the collarbone.
As I gently pressed my collarbone with my index and middle fingers, I felt an unpleasant tingling sensation in my fingertips.
“Mmm.”
The bishop and priest couldn’t stand it and groaned.
The part where demonic spirits gushed out was right around here.
Sensing that it was not serious, Ray said.
“Don’t open your mouth, I’ll check your body.”
He placed his hand on the bishop’s shoulder and slowly injected mana into it.
Whoa-!
As the fine mana pulled out like a thread penetrated his body, hidden demons flowed out and tried to push him away.
‘The backlash is severe.’
It wasn’t impossible if you wanted to subdue it, but if you mis-subdued the demonic spirit that resisted so fiercely, the mana rod could not withstand and could be torn.
I have no choice but to take my time and proceed slowly.
Instead of increasing the amount of mana, Ray moved forward little by little while carefully examining the mana load.
When Magi, who rebelled violently, reached him.
Whoops-!
A huge shock was delivered to the bishop and priest.
Even though the pain must be considerable, I can’t bear to open my mouth, and I only sweat like rain.
I’m sorry for her, but impatience is poison.
Now I had to proceed calmly.
Ray did not give up and moved little by little to the center of Magi.
At times like that, the demons inside her body would rebel, but she couldn’t shake off his mana, which was so dense.
Had an hour passed like that?
When the bishop-priest, who had been biting his lips and enduring, was almost half-conscious.
Ray is the heart of Magi.
I was able to reach the heart of the bishop priest.
The demonic energy that was so desperate that it became a single inner altar beyond the thick one gushed out hotly.
The mana in his heart had already reached a state where he thought that if he was careless even for a moment, the mana he had worked so hard to extract might turn into nothing.
‘This is enough to beat most warlocks.’
Of course, because of the low level of magic, it cannot be compared to that of the lich, but nevertheless, the sense of magic has already exceeded the category of black magician.
How the hell did you get this magic?
Like Seongguk, is the existence of a demon god really giving it to you?
Leaving the question behind, I tried to move Mana.
From the heart to the surrounding muscles or organs.
Every time he looked at it, he couldn’t help but be amazed.
‘what’s this?’
It was safe to say that she was actually dead, still sweating profusely.
The heart has long since stopped working.
The surrounding muscles only maintain their shape but have been damaged to such an extent that they cannot function properly, so it is surprising that they are moving.
Since he is artificially extending his life by reviving his dead heart as a demon like the undead, it would be more correct to see him as a lich already at least half of it.
Besides, that’s where the Magi go.
It was none other than the head with the golden pill planted there.
