Episode 702 Stop Fire, Allies! (1)
The knights, who were armed with discipline, disappeared in front of him without saying who came first.
It was no different from Philia.
She had never been beaten in the butt except when she was young, but she volunteered to get hit a few more times, saying that it reminded her of memories for some reason.
Originally, there were many perverts in the family of wizards, so it was not new to them anymore.
In the bedroom where the bishop is sleeping.
Ray thought it was time to drive out the Demonic Cult.
“It’s something I can’t leave forever.”
It was a group that made people suffer from Magi addiction with their unique crazy greeting method, so it had to be sorted out as soon as possible.
However, even if he moved alone, he could not completely root out the Demonic Cult within the Kingdom of Gleiman, so he needed another method.
After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly remembered what Aira said one day.
– You don’t have to move yourself. Sometimes you can achieve what you want just by making it move.
It was a word I heard while being taught about magic, but somehow I think it fits well with the current situation.
After thinking for a moment, Ray stood up from his seat as if he had made up his mind.

The dark back roads of King Greyman.
Ray set foot on the road where people don’t go in and out.
These back roads, which are mainly walked by handymen and servants, are sometimes a place where good information is gathered.
He walked the streets wearing a robe.
However, his gait was strange.
It seems to go left, then right.
I want to move forward in a straight line again, but I take a few steps back and stumble again.
Its appearance was similar to that of a drunkard.
After repeating the movement several times, a handyman walked by from somewhere.
“Oops bro! Please walk carefully.”
“I’m sorry. Something good happened to me today, so I drank a little.”
Acting skillfully, I deliberately leaned against the body of the worker.
“What happened to Daegwan that you drank this much?”
When he asked, Ray answered as if he had been waiting.
“Will a black bird fly in the sky as I walk my way? If this isn’t a good sign, what is?”
black bird.
It was one of several code slogans referring to the Black Room.
At those words, the worker’s eyes changed in an instant.
“ha ha ha. How could a black bird be a good omen? I don’t know if it’s a white bird.”
The worker trembled and denied it, but it wasn’t Ray who couldn’t see through the subtle difference.
The strange movement that initially moved like a drunkard was also a hand signal from the black room.
The correct answer was to say the password just in case.
‘I never thought I’d be able to find the delivery book so easily.’
In the meantime, I have been active in the castle of Glaman for several years, but I have never been caught, so I guess my vigilance has loosened a lot.
Ray threw a wedge at him who still had no doubts.
“It’s too much of a joke. Do you not know that the world truly begins when a black bird takes flight?”
His words meant the essence of the Black Room.
At that point, the worker also completely gave up his doubts.
“…May I ask where you belong?”
“It is the end of Cheongsadae. Since you are a lot older than me, please lower your words.”
When Ray came out in a low position, the worker who guessed his location shook his head.
“okay. What happened?”
“I came because I have something to tell you.”
“What about delivery? I didn’t hear about it beforehand…”
“The Cheongsadae told me to deliver it urgently, so I left the entrusted area and came to the castle.”
Cheongsadae is currently staying in the Kingdom of Gleiman.
There was no room for doubt as the story lined up.
“Tell me.”
Now it was a look that completely thought of himself as a member of the black room.
Ray smirked through his robe.
“It is an order to expel the Demonic Cult from the capital.”
The expression of the worker suddenly hardened at the words like thunder from the sky.
“…it can’t be. The Demonic Church is a major force in this room. Cheongsadae to remove it at will. Don’t you know that it is clearly a superpower?”
“This is a matter decided by the top, not the government. Are you really unaware of the deep, high-level intentions that are secretly moving us to reduce the rise of the Demonic Cult?”
Someone as talented as you?
You mean I didn’t know what I knew?
When he said that, the worker’s sword taste twitched.
“Unpleasant. That much I knew. But that’s what I didn’t understand. The gold coins spent to establish a place in the capital would be enough to build a castle. But are you saying that the Demonic Cult, which is starting to reap results after a long time, is thrown out?”
Certainly, on his part, he might not have understood.
After all, all of this was just a lie.
When the opponent showed a bite, Ray, who was excited, teased his mouth without saliva on his lips.
“People have already left the Demonic Church. Furthermore, as the power of the Demonic Church increased, wasn’t it often the case that they disobeyed the orders of this room? The upper management seems to regard it as a thorn in the eye.”
“Hmm.”
As he continued to tell plausible lies, the worker seemed to have almost passed over.
“Oh, and this must be done in utmost secrecy. If this becomes known… Both me and my seniors are dead.”
“When did you not do that? I know.”
“Then…”
“Yes. The instructions from the top were clearly delivered. We will call together the nearby armed groups and do as we command.”
“All right.”
Phew.
I wondered what would happen, but fortunately it seems that I was tricked.
As I involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, the worker who took it differently clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. If there is a government building, it must be on the outskirts of Gleiman. It’s to the extent that it crosses over to the royal capital from there, so it’s a lot of trouble even for the lower end.”
“Would you like to be a senior? The delivery book is all like this. I gave the order, so I’ll go now.”
One slyness is staggering.
The worker didn’t even know that he had been tricked, and instead shook his head.
“Oh, before I go, I’ll ask you one thing.”
“A question about the subject of the delivery book? How did you get your education?”
“ha ha ha. We are the only ones here.”
At his words, the worker’s expression gradually softened.
We already know that surveillance is widespread around here.
That’s why Ray kept the mana flowing in advance so that the sound wouldn’t leak out.
Deliberately pretending not to know that there is surveillance.
When asked a question, the worker nodded.
“Only this once.”
“yes. The curious thing is the work of the bishop priest. What the hell happened before? Every time the story comes out at Cheongsadae, it seems like I’m the only one who doesn’t know.”
He said it as if he was in a bad mood with tears in his eyes.
The worker laughed at him.
I wanted to ask another question, but it was only ‘the bishop and the priest’.
No matter how low he is, the worker explained the story skillfully, probably deciding that it would not matter if he knew this much as long as it was the delivery book of Cheongsadae.
“You foolish bitch. It is the woman who killed the father with her own hands, who came to the room she saw with her own feet and begged for her daughter’s life. He didn’t even know that he was trying to save me and cursed at my father who allowed the ban until the moment his breath stopped.”
“Then being a bishop is a
priest …” Since the bishop is dead in the first place, being a priest is meaningless. However, it is an order to keep a close eye on the body that has accepted the demonic energy.”
“…”
Ray was speechless.
I wondered what the hell had happened to break my heart to the point of losing my mind, but I never thought something like this would happen later.
‘That’s why I’m about to collapse.’
Killing my family wasn’t enough, so even the last moment was not whole.
And when I found out about it, even through someone else’s mouth.
The shock she must have received was indescribable.
Tuduk-tuk-
Raindrops fall from the darkened sky.
“Has your curiosity been resolved?”
“yes. Thanks…”
“Curiosity sometimes takes a life. Let’s skip this time, but don’t open your mouth recklessly. This is advice for you who have come a long way.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“I’ll have to go soon.”
Let’s disappear as quickly as the worker came.
Those who were watching the surroundings also quietly followed.
in the rain that is getting stronger.
Ray stood there for a while.

Evening when the sun has completely set.
Ray bought some daily necessities on the streets of the royal capital.
One of them was a candle called ‘Clemento’s Incense’.
As soon as you light the candle, a spicy scent spreads out.
As much as the price was quite expensive, the effect was also unique.
It seemed that the fatigue went away for a moment, but it felt like my mind was awakened.
“It’s a nice candle. I should bring it to Aira later.”
She has a subtle emotional side, so you will definitely like her.
By the time the raindrops gently fall on the window sill.
The bishop, who seemed unlikely to wake up any more, raised his body with a groan.
“Ugh…”
He grabs his head and struggles.
As if the shock hadn’t gone away, he was still in agony right after waking up.
He handed him a wet towel and said.
“It is still cold. Putting it on your forehead will help.”
“…”
She reflexively accepted the wet towel.
The scent of Clemento made my head clear, but thanks to it, the sadness of the previous day also came to my mind vividly.
Natural tears poured from her eyes.
“Ugh…”
The woman, who looked so strong when she was usually among people, vomited pain with her shoulders trembling.
Mouth tightly closed due to the prohibition.
How does it feel to have to deal with the worries that you can’t tell anyone about?
It probably couldn’t compare to the kind of torture inflicted on the body.
“Heukheuk… Ughheukheuk…”
There was nothing he could do while watching her cry quietly with his face covered.
A being that is neither alive nor dead.
The thin black veins protruding from his chest were proving that.
A mark that will not be erased no matter what.
It was engraved on her body like a slave’s seal.
