City of Magical Engineering (2)
Boyd, deputy chief of the Chemical Engineering Company, took Monoras with him and left the territory of the Marquis of Picaras.
“The boss told me to go to La Viet as soon as possible. If you run diligently…
Monoras, whose stomach was shaking after swallowing all the huge bribe, turned around.
“Then let’s do it like this. Am I too heavy right now? So, I need to empty this out.”
The place where Monoras’ gaze rested was the gambling city ‘Unlucky’.
“Chief Secretary! “There is no time for this now!”
Void shouted, but Monoras’ body was already flying toward Unlucky.
Meanwhile, at the chemical company.
“finished.”
Lethe, who had stayed up all night handling official duties, was looking up at the ceiling with a tired face.
My head was spinning and I felt drowsy.
“…I have to work.”
I sent Boyd, but I couldn’t leave this matter to someone else.
As I left the president’s office in rags, the employees who had just started work bowed their heads.
“Where are you going, boss?”
“business trip. Go to Labiet. “I’ve processed all the backlogged payment documents, so everything will be fine for the time being.”
“You look so tired. You couldn’t sleep at all last night, right? At least you close your eyes…
“It’s okay. Everyone works hard. Oh right, let’s stop by a restaurant together. “I need to bring some snacks that Monoras likes.”
“yes. “I will tell you.”
The employees liked the president of the chemical company.
“Anyway, you’re amazing. “I hate to tell you this, but I don’t think I could stand the secretary’s personality.”
“Haha, but he’s a good guy on the inside. Since he is the chief secretary, he must have his own difficulties.”
‘I don’t think there is anything at all.’
Sometimes I wondered if she had amnesia.
Morning from hell.
Flames with the smell of sulfur filled the sky, evaporating the cold wave of the night before.
“Im here.”
The old castle where the Grand Duke lived was one of the largest buildings in La Viette.
Unlike the harsh scenery that dominates the city, it was neat and, above all, resembled a real building.
“I thought you would like it. Now, let’s go in. “The Grand Duke is waiting.”
As we entered the castle under Bielmann’s guidance, a sumptuous dinner was prepared.
“Welcome, Yahweh. And a member of the group.”
The Grand Duke, who was eating at the head of the table, put down his silverware and smiled.
He had the appearance of an old man, with a graying beard that reached down to his chest, and a benevolent look.
‘Archduke Magritte.’
The lack of any particular reaction from Ryan is clear evidence that he is nervous.
‘It’s definitely amazing.’
Compared to the army of hell, it felt like facing a corps commander ranked in the top 10.
“How about joining us before dinner?”
Steam was escaping from the food that had obviously just been prepared.
Lian swallowed his saliva.
Unlike at a restaurant, the food looked like people eating it, and the utensils were also familiar.
“Do you usually eat like this?”
As Sirone sat down across from him and asked, Rian quietly sat down next to him.
“If you’ve lived this long, there’s nothing really important in the world. Anyway, I paid some attention.”
Even though he was proficient in the common continental language, his wariness toward Magritte increased even more.
‘It’s not an average bet.’
Although he may not be as strong as the corps commander, he was a key factor in the current situation.
Sirone asked while eating the prepared food.
“I would like to hear a direct explanation of what happened yesterday. “The demon sent by the Grand Duke used strange abilities.”
“It’s entertainment. It’s entertainment. How dare you touch Yahweh like that?”
“So what is it?”
As the two people’s gazes collided for the first time, the atmosphere quickly became cold.
“Dezire, this is a demon material I created.”
Magritte took a step back.
“If you refine the turbid yam using special technology, you can obtain a special substance that responds to desire. “Approximately 0.1 gram is extracted from each human being who falls into hell.”
How many humans do we need to replace?
“War advances technology. Humans are desperate too, but we cannot afford to be defeated. I was confident that this substance would bring victory to the demons. The problem is… Magritte straightened his mouth.
“It means that the psychic realm has been closed. “Before Desire was commercialized and supplied to the military.”
In the end, the vocal pronunciation was right.
“If you broke the system, you can fix it, but she took advantage of the system. You can’t reopen something that you closed once you were inside. Until she is purified.”
Shirone’s eyes, stripped of their pretense, gained strength.
“How long will it take?”
“I don’t know. The chemical engineer probably knows, but I don’t feel like asking. From then on, I was somewhat negligent in developing technology, so I was just wasting my time, and when Yahweh came at the right time, I played a prank on him.”
Magritte showed his face.
“This time I’m asking. “Why should someone who has done more work than me end up in this hell?”
“To destroy the demon world.”
A disastrous system that only high-ranking corps commanders could achieve was plaguing reality.
“I plan to go to the chemical company and negotiate. “You’ll probably have to use some force.”
“Hmm.”
Magritte stroked his beard.
“Of course, the power of the demon world is based on hell. “You can’t step on the shoots, so you’re going to burn the roots?”
“okay. I’m going to purify hell. Even if all demons disappear. But if you were… you could probably figure out a better way, right?”
“If it’s a threat, it’s gone too far. Even if the psychic realm is closed, demons are born endlessly. “Hell’s army and its commander will be restored over time.”
“You want to end it too. “I’m talking about the horrible bondage between reality and the other side.”
Marguerite’s eyes were half closed.
“Do you believe the legendary teaching that not all evil goes unrepentant?”
He got up from his seat.
“Of course something like that existed. Oh, it was a long time ago. But make no mistake. I am not a being who has reached such a high level of enlightenment. “It is one of the common demons that hate Yahweh and hate humans.”
“There must be room for negotiation, right?”
“Hehe. Do humans negotiate with dogs or pigs?”
Life turned into Lian’s eyes.
“Don’t misunderstand. If you are offended, they say demons are dogs or pigs. Anyway, it’s a completely different species. “We can never have the same purpose.”
Marguerite turned and walked away.
“It was a pleasant breakfast. Then, I hope you achieve everything you want in hell…”
Despite the mocking tone, Shirone calmly accepted it.
“How about I open your psychic realm?” Magritte’s steps stopped.
“…What do you mean?”
“Literally. “Can you help us if you open the psychic realm that the Holy Sound has closed?”
Marguerite turned to Sirone.
“Even Yahweh lies. There is no demon who understands the hell system better than me. Jin Seong-eum: That woman will never find freedom until her karma is completed. In other words, it is impossible to open the psychic realm.”
“You can break the karmic chain.”
” no.”
“Lian.”
At Sirone’s words, Lian stood up and infused powerful strength into his entire body.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
Magritte’s brow furrowed as Gehenna’s chains flew out of his chest and hit the ground.
The next moment, the four chains suddenly broke and were sucked into Lian’s chest.
“…how?”
Sirone said with a smile.
“Don’t you want to analyze it? “I think there’s a hidden code that you don’t know about.”
Is it a system error?
Magritte, who was glaring at Sirone with harsh eyes, raised his right hand in front of his chest.
At the same time, the chain came out of Ryan’s solar plexus and entered his grasp.
“Keuuuu!”
When Ryan, who became displeased, applied force again, heat like molten iron was transferred to Magritte’s hand.
Cheeeee!
Even as the burning sound was heard, Marguerite lowered his gaze and examined the chain.
He was looking at Lian with a serious expression, and when he threw away the chain, it hit the floor with a loud sound.
“Tsk!”
After confirming that Rian hung up again, he turned around and walked to the window.
Silence continued for a while.
‘It’s not usually a problem.’
The first person that came to Magritte’s mind was the president of a chemical company.
‘There’s no way Lethe wouldn’t know. But that doesn’t mean it didn’t come. It means that Yahweh got to me first…
Is hell also about to be destroyed?
‘If it’s natural, there’s nothing we can do.’
How complacent it is to think that only hell will be safe in the great cycle.
“I tell them to prepare lunch.” After saying that, Magritte waved his finger at Bielmann and walked away.
“Open the underground laboratory.” As soon as we arrived at the Archduke’s laboratory, a young 1 meter tall succubus came running towards us.
“Hello, Grand Duke. yes?”
The succubus’ face turned pale when she discovered Sirone.
“Hey Yahweh!”
I instinctively activated my dream magic ability, but instead of being tempted, it was only cute.
“I am a guest. “Be polite.”
The Archduke turned around in front of the central device while the succubus, whose powers were released, had a blank expression on her face.
“This is Mercedes, who manages the laboratory. “For the time being, that child will be at Yahweh’s convenience.”
Lian looked around.
There were more than 200 huge glass tubes containing human samples.
“Are they all dead?”
“In reality, death is a ‘sleep from which there is no awakening,’ but in hell, death is only purification. Well, if you asked what you meant by ‘sleep from which you don’t wake up,’ then let’s say so.”
Sirone asked.
“Why did you bring us here?”
“It is difficult to conclude the error of the system simply by breaking the chains of Gehenna. First, we will examine Ryan’s body. And if possible, please support Yahweh as well. “It will be data that can be used as a reference.”
When Magritte activated the device, two capsules opened with the sound of wind.
“You can just go in here.”
Rian thought of humans sleeping in 200 glass coffins, but Sirone walked obediently.
“Wait, Shirone. “It could be a trap.”
” are you okay.”
Sirone didn’t stop.
“The Archduke enjoys a battle of wits with his enemies, but he doesn’t do things like seize on his opponent’s weaknesses.”
The Archduke Guffin knew was such a demon
.
“Yes?”
Marguerite turned away from Sirone’s gaze and turned towards where the device was.
“Let’s go in. “It won’t take long.”
When Sirone and Lian entered the capsule, the door closed and it was filled with clear water.
The moment the water rose above her chin, Lian turned her head, but Sirone remained calm.
The inside of the capsule filled with water, and the water level quickly subsided after 5 seconds.
Mercedes reported.
“Scan complete. “Send it to the Demon World screen.”
“Hmm.”
Magritte examined a rectangular steel plate containing a shallow layer of blood-red liquid.
Ryan’s information was derived.
“This…!”
A number that had not been seen on any demon was engraved on the red plate.
