Chapter 345. True Water Merchant (7) The order from the young master was no different, but to collect enough magic energy by using the contamination of the water source.
What they released wasn’t just poison.
It is a secret poison that has been handed down from generation to generation in churches that produce high concentrations of demonic energy from polluted water.
There is no substance that is the essence of nature itself like pure water. That’s why if you pollute it, you can get a bigger demonic energy.
Terror was not interested.
From the beginning, their only purpose was to produce and retrieve demonic energy.
“It is clear that the Magi retrieved through this operation exceeds the planned amount.”
“That was it. Interference is within the expected range. Even taking that into account, it is a sufficient amount.”
“By the way, Little Teacher? What are you going to do with that amount of demons?”
Rogel impatiently asked.
Anyway, this operation was only instructed to ‘gather a large amount of demonic energy’, and he was not even told what to do with it.
In the first place, the young master ‘will declare war.’ After the declaration, the person himself has been giving orders like this while looking into the sorcery book while shutting himself in.
Rogel’s question now meant that the members of the church under his command were secretly peeking out from under the shadows.
“…Are you wondering what you want to do?”
The sorceress muttered, not taking her eyes off the magic book she was reading.
It was a somewhat displeased voice.
“Do you think it is meaningless?”
“…Sorry.”
Rogel quickly fell on his face, his complexion turned white.
He is a black magician who is considered one of the outstanding executives within the church.
However, even with that, he did not dare to fight against Letelneas.
He didn’t know what result he would bring if he recklessly threw up on the minor master, so he just repeated his apology as if he hadn’t thought about anything.
“I am deeply reflecting on my ignorance.”
“No. You have done well as you are. Rest assured, I am not blaming you.”
Saying that, Letelneas didn’t seem to care much about his foolish side.
He put down the magic book he was reading and moved his gaze to the kneeling warlock.
Dark magic that makes you feel like your insides are burning just by making eye contact.
As expected, the depth is different even for those who use the same black magic.
“Yeah… Now that it’s like this, I should teach you. What are you aiming for?”
At his words, Rogel slowly raised his head.
“Yes, as an inexperienced person, I cannot predict the will of the young schoolmaster.”
“Nothing. It’s just trying to gather up the missing amount in advance.”
“Is that what you want to attract?”
“A thousand years since the church was established.”
Letelneas suddenly said,
“Who do you think has reigned as the most powerful and greatest warlock in the church’s history for the past thousand years?”
“The teacher is coming.”
There was no hesitation in the answer.
Not just Rogel, but all members of the church would give the same answer if asked the same question.
The best black magician.
The answer hasn’t changed since a thousand years ago.
Now, the leader no one has ever seen before.
But their beliefs do not change.
“Yes, it is. The only one who has reached the limit is the teacher.”
But why is he referring to the religious leader now?
Rogel was puzzled by that.
“For the purpose that the substitute schoolmaster wants…”
“This is it.”
He picked up the old book he had been reading a moment ago and tapped it.
“It’s…
” It’s a sorcery book with secret techniques left by the then headmaster about 500 years ago.
It’s called the “Book of Eternity”. Well, it’s not perfect.”
“The teacher?!”
I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide and be amazed.
A magic book with secrets left by the leader himself…
All black magicians already know that there exists a magic book left by the leader of the dark church.
However, the reason he is so shocked is that the magic book is not something that can be easily accessed.
Every wizard wants to leave their achievements and records behind.
In particular, the sorcery books can be said to be a representative legacy.
However, the way to leave is different for each person.
On the other hand, a wizard wants everyone to use the magic he left behind, leaving a book with only spells written down.
In the case of a certain magician, there is a case of taking some measures to prevent anyone from reading the book carelessly.
“…I heard a rumor that if a person lacking in demonic energy reads that book, they will be consumed by the demonic energy emitted from the book and go insane.”
The same goes for the magic books left by the religious leaders.
I’ve heard that harsh measures are taken to the extent that they won’t even allow the preservation of the spirit if a wizard with low competence comes into contact with any of them.
Therefore, the legacy left by the religious leader is strictly managed by the church.
From a magic book written by myself.
Everything, even those that can only be seen as cooking recipes.
The reason is that it is dangerous.
An object touched by the cult leader is possessed by overwhelming demonic energy, so ordinary people do not dare to touch it.
Because of that, the items used by the religious master at the time are managed so thoroughly that even a single pen cannot be touched carelessly.
In particular, things like magic books had no choice but to be dealt with strictly.
But hadn’t Letelneas been reading it too lightly?
Could it be that the rumors are false?
“You know right.”
He admitted with a strange smile.
“yes?”
“As you know, the legacy left by the headmaster is not something that can be easily touched.”
“…but I can’t feel anything in that magic book?”
If he didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t have even imagined that it was left by the religious leader.
“Heh, does that mean?”
Letelneas giggled at what was funny and stroked the book once.
OK.
“Awesome! What the hell is that?!”
Rogel was stunned.
As soon as Letelneas’ hand passed, terrible demonic energy erupted from the book.
“It’s a very simple thing. I was just blocking the magic of the book with my magic. In order to read this, the condition is that you can freely handle demons that exceed those of the book. The headmaster is also really… playful too.”
“???? joke.”
Is that really a joke?
The amount of demons emitted from the book far surpassed his own.
No matter how much magic is the source of a black magician’s power, if he is exposed to that kind of magic, he will go crazy or his body will collapse.
But dismiss it as a joke and press it lightly?
Unbelievable.
As well as the existence of the book, even the young schoolmaster’s ability to deal with it had no sense of reality.
‘…Surely, since the establishment of the Dark Church, it is not a lie to say that he is a minor master with the best talent ever.’
It may not be without reason that disrespectful rumors circulate that he may be second only to the religious leader.
Rogel glanced at the young master and understood with fear.
On the other hand, I am afraid that I will not be able to treat you more carelessly.
Curiosity was also piqued.
“But what kind of secret technique is in that book of magic… What does that have to do with the strategy the young master set up?”
Considering your situation, it might be safe to just keep your mouth shut.
He is also one who explores the depths of the abyss.
I couldn’t stand it because I wondered what the hell was hidden in that magic book.
Fortunately, he was not offended by these questions.
Rather, as if waiting, a faint voice leaked out.
“That’s a good question. The esoteric written in this sorcery book will be the key to revealing the majesty of the Dark Church.”
“Huh… I can’t imagine what it is like.”
“Rogel, do you know the ceremony the priest was preparing about 500 years ago?”
500 years ago?
Is there no way to know?
Only one thing is known.
At that time, it was just before the religious leader disappeared.
“A thousand years ago! The headmaster who founded the Dark Church and spread the fearsome secret art of dark magic to the world prepared some secret art about 500 years ago.”
“What the heck is that?!”
“hmm! A feat hard to describe in words! Would you like to see it?”
Saying so, the young master picked up the magic book.
It was to suppress the leaking demonic energy once again, and then present it to the warlock.
“… can I dare to watch it?”
“Does not matter. After all, this secret technique is not something you can make your own just by looking at it. There, it is divided into upper and lower parts. It won’t happen if you read just one.”
“Then where is the other one?”
“Unfortunately, the lower authority does not exist within the Church. So, there is nothing you can do about it.”
“Then?…”
Do I need to decline to show it?
From generation to generation, only the minor priest has the right to peruse the cult leader’s heritage.
The chance to get a glimpse of even a part of it might not come for the rest of my life.
Any chance to see it?
Thinking that it doesn’t matter if he went crazy, the warlock looked at the page he showed him as if he were bewitched.
And…
his chin began to tremble of its own accord.
“It’s nonsense.”
Those words came out of nowhere.
“…That’s right… What kind of idea did the head teacher have at the time?!”
It is impossible for him to learn this secret art just because he sees as Retelneas said. The most important thing is missing.
Perhaps the rest is described in the second volume.
But I knew what it meant like a speck of dust.
“This… is not a feat that humans can accomplish. But… if that is really possible, it is certain that the continent will praise and fear our name.”
“yes?”
Looking down at the trembling man, Letelneas rejoiced.
Even though it is inferior, if there is someone who understands the meaning, it is a good law.
“But… isn’t it only the headmaster who can write this?”
On the one hand, I wondered.
Even if this amount of secret art was left as a magic book, there was no way anyone could easily use it.
However, the person who developed it, Gyoju, cannot go out into the world.
For some reason, the priest fell asleep with his back to the world.
And the reason is related to the kingdom of Ernesia.
Descendants of the church that survived until now knew that.
That’s why the black magicians are still gnashing their teeth at the thorn in their eyes, the Kingdom of Ernesia, in order to fulfill the sect’s secret wish.
“Don’t worry. You don’t know that.”
Only at this time, the So Gyoju spoke a bit bitterly.
“I also studied this secret technique, but I couldn’t use it either. Even the lower authority is not currently within the church.”
Perhaps he did his own research.
“In other words, the only person who has reached the point of being able to use this is the religious leader.”
But there was no sign of discouragement.
Rather, he had a sly smile on his lips.
“Isn’t that simple?”
Unusable esoteric.
If so, why not call someone who can write?
“Am I really?”
“I have already finished all the preparations.
I’ve already got what I need for the ritual. All that was left was the magic of the person who needed it.”
“Why?”
“One of the purposes of his sleep is to gather demon energy for a long time.
Well, the amount collected this time will almost satisfy the amount he set for the purpose.”
large amounts of magic.
Only then did Rogel realize what the minor master was aiming for.
“Ohhhhhhhh… that’s what!”
While the warlock Rogel groaned in amazement, Letelneas clenched his fists as if intoxicated with his knowledge and majesty.
“That’s right. Finally, the time has come for the priest to resurrect to the world again!”
From the beginning, he deliberately ordered contamination terrorism in order to procure the demons necessary for the resurrection of the cult leader.
Of course, it still takes time.
It only covered the necessary demons.
If it went according to plan, the leader’s awakening would have to be in the far distant future.
What he is trying to do now is to advance that time.
