The Saint Was the Devil’s Henchman

Central.

It was an administrative city located in the heart of the United Kingdom.

It served as the de facto capital for coordinating the interests of the seven sharply opposing nations.

Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that all human and material resources of the United Kingdom flowed to Central.

A wagon that had passed through the gate stopped at the main road, and two men got off.

One of them looked around and exclaimed.

“Hey, I’ve been to Velium, but Central has a different feel.”

“Because the order of the continent is centered here. It cannot be compared to the imperial capital that collapsed a hundred years ago.”

If the new empire retains the fortress of the past, Central is showing the fortress of the present.

“Can you see the street in front of me? It’s so amazing that it’s cool and open without meandering!”

“It’s only natural because it’s a place where the superiors clenched their teeth. stop shutting your mouth Do you have anything to say about the country?”

The grumbling nobleman soon raised his head and looked at the balcony of a building.

“Looks like that’s a banquet hall.”

That was then.

The sound of a carriage came from near the gates.

The people on the road all turned their heads towards it at once.

A wagon carrying prisoners was coming through the gates.

“Are you a dark follower again?”

“Let’s move quickly. It will be noisy soon.”

People frowned and scattered.

The two people who were about to visit the banquet hall were puzzled by the reaction of the locals.

“Isn’t that a prisoner transport procession? But why is everyone avoiding here?”

“I know. Maybe just a dark follower… … .”

aah!

The two were startled by the sudden scream.

The prisoner in the wagon suddenly wrapped his head around his head and started to glow.

The prisoner began to punch the wagon window.

“Get me out of here right now! Get me out!”

Bang! less slack!

However, the window was not broken because of the strengthening magic.

Rather, blood gushed from the prisoner’s hands.

“Ugh! Blood, is there blood? Do the soldiers not know?”

“no way.”

They alternately looked at the guards of the transport wagons and the guards at the gates.

The guards didn’t even move as they were familiar with this situation.

“That’s why people rushed to escape.”

“It’s scarier than I thought, here.”

“Don’t be rude. Let’s go to the banquet hall soon. I don’t know when I’ll get another invitation, so today is my only chance.”

The two disappeared into the building with the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, the balcony on the third floor of the building they entered.

There was a noble woman standing there.

“… It’s noisy.”

The woman made an impression that the screams coming from outside were annoying.

Then the balcony door opened, and a man came in.

“Miss Harper.”

Matilda turned back at the voice calling her.

“Eastern Ball.”

“The meeting is still in full swing, what are you doing here?”

“Because I’m not in the mood for a meeting today.”

Then the man, Easton, burst into laughter.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s surprising that Miss Harper under the world has taken a step back from this gathering, where all the sons of nobles on the continent can’t attend.”

The name of the group they had now was ‘Dawn of Graben’.

From the name, the ambitions of the next generation who will lead the Graven continent are exposed.

“I’m more surprised that the Eastern Ball came out of the balcony? You are the busiest person at this meeting.”

Matilda looked at Easton strangely.

Eastern was a descendant of the Crawford family, one of the most prominent members of the Knights Kingdom of Miles.

Even if they didn’t want to, it was a position where people were twisted like a swarm of bees that saw honey.

He shrugged at Matilda’s words.

“I got tired of being in people all the time. So I came out to get some fresh air.”

“okay?”

“By the way, what were you looking at?”

“It’s nothing. I hear screams.”

“A scream?”

Easton tilted his head and approached the railing.

Then he saw a carriage carrying prisoners.

The prisoner kept screaming as if he was in terrible torment.

Easton clicked his tongue.

“You are a dark follower. I’ve been to Central often, but this is the first time I’ve seen an evil prisoner crushed by the Guardian Barrier.”

protective barrier.

It was a barrier that Saint Eileen created in Central over a hundred years ago.

It was known that the Allied Forces, who had been defeated by the Imperial Army, prepared the prelude for a counterattack in the battle at Central.

Matilda was offended by Easton’s words.

“A wicked prisoner?”

“yes. As Miss Harper knows, doesn’t the Guardian Barrier weigh down the evil that enters the Barrier? If that prisoner had been unfairly framed, there would be no way for the barrier to respond.”

“Hmm.”

“Seeing that the barrier that saved Central from the crisis is still alive and well 100 years later, I can see how great the saint was.”

After the end of the Anti-Magic War, Saint Eileen said to those who praised Central’s barrier:

– This barrier was not made by me alone. It was possible thanks to borrowing the power of many souls who lost their lives here on the battlefield. I am just grateful for their help.

Recalling those words, Matilda snorted.

‘Yeah, it’s only going to work for those little guys.’

Dark followers with a certain level of skill like Matilda were not affected by the barrier.

But the prisoner was writhing in pain.

At the very least, it meant a mongrel.

‘I heard that it was a pain as if my whole body was being crushed in the deep sea.’

creepy.

Matilda got goosebumps and rubbed her arms.

Because it reminded me of what had just happened in Nouvelle City a while ago.

After all, wasn’t his identity almost exposed?

Ethan, his fame grew day by day, so I had to listen to it even if I didn’t want to know it.

‘Why do you think of him ominously?’

As Matilda was lost in thought, Easton pointed towards the gates.

“uh? Miss Harper, look over there. The investigation team that had left has finally arrived.”

As Easton said, through the opened door, several wagons entered again.

It was the procession of the investigation team of the magical kingdom of Aurum.

Matilda’s eyes widened as she looked at it.

It was as if he was very surprised to see something.

Without knowing it, Easton was busy watching the procession of the investigators.

“I heard that the descendants of the wise men were also included in the investigation team, but I would like to meet them. If you know them, please introduce me… Miss Harper?”

Easton looked around the balcony, bewildered.

Until recently, there had been no one to be seen.

Easton grinned in disappointment.

“Where did you go, Won?”

* * *

Aurum’s investigative procession reached the center of Central.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Various key government offices of Central were concentrated here.

There were no grand palaces that symbolized traditional authority in the capitals of other countries.

Instead, unlike the architecture of the old empire, buildings were built in a sophisticated and practical style using red and gray bricks.

As if showing the momentum of the Anti-Ma War, the steeple was as high as the sky, and most of the buildings were three stories or more.

People hurriedly got off the wagon that stopped in front of the government office.

The door of the carriage where Ethan was riding also opened.

“Oh, that was fun!”

“It was a really good time.”

Chloe and Salute were the first to jump off the carriage.

Their faces were full of life.

“Good thing you came with Priest Ethan!”

“right. Also, Grandpa was right. The world is wide, and the knowledge we have learned is only a fraction of that.”

The twins chattered loudly like morning sparrows.

On the other hand, the appearance of Ethan following him out of the wagon was the opposite of the twins.

He was bruised to the bone like a man who had lost all his energy.

‘It’s like jingling things.’

Ethan looked at Chloe and Charlotte in the back of the head.

“Ethan, are you okay?”

Ethan pointed to his temple at Knicks’ question.

“Does it look okay in your eyes?”

“no. Not at all. So I am more concerned.”

“what?”

“I didn’t have carriage motion sickness, and my room and board were perfect, but seeing this… Maybe you have some endemic disease? Let’s check it out!”

bruise!

Fenrir responded to Nyx’s ignorant words.

‘You don’t know why I’m doing this even after seeing the uproar yourself?’

Ethan was astonished.

Now, whenever he felt like he had gotten used to it, Nyx showed his indifference beyond that.

Nyx still had an innocent face.

Ethan sighed deeply and remembered what had happened.

– Priest Ethan said he was very interested in St.

– You must have done a lot of research on St.

As soon as the carriage left, the twins asked.

Ethan’s eyes twinkled with curiosity.

– What do you want?

– Ahaha. I’m glad the story is fast.

-Actually, our interest these days is to fill in the blanks in the records during the Anti-Magic War.

– Can you help me?

It was widely known that Edan was interested in ancient books and records from the Anti-Ma War.

So, the twins focused on that part.

So Ethan responded moderately.

Up until this point, Ethan thought that their barrage of questions would be over in one day.

But that was a big mistake.

The twins, who inherited Nelson Lomon’s personality, couldn’t be more satisfied than that.

The twins’ onslaught of questions continued without interruption.

– Priest Ethan, Priest Ethan!

– What?

-This is the story of the saint when she left Pache and went to New Zealand. A saint’s diary alone is not enough. Do you have any other resources to refer to?

-… Ms. Romon, I’m eating right now.

– Eight, not Romon, but Chloe! You don’t know which one it is when you say Romon.

Wouldn’t it suddenly break into the table while you’re eating?

– Priest Ethan, Priest Ethan!

– Ha, what about this time?

-Everyone denies it, but in fact, wasn’t the united kingdom trying to assassinate the demon king’s henchmen? Take a look at this part here and this part. The records don’t match. Doesn’t it sound like you’re trying to fool around with something?

-… Ms. Romon, I’m washing my face right now.

– Priest, Charlotte, not Romon! If you can tell Chloe from me, why do you call me that?

He didn’t hesitate to suddenly slam the bathroom door while washing his face in the morning.

Ethan looked at Charlotte with a dripping face.

‘That’s because I don’t want to deal with you.’

The reason was obvious.

If the twins’ question was only on the carriage, Ethan could bear it.

However, the two went to Ethan at any time and place.

The investigators who accompanied him looked at Ethan with a pitiful look.

However, despite the uproar, Nyx was talking about an endemic disease.

For Ethan, he was shocked.

“What is endemic? I’m fine. It’s the twins that aren’t fine.”

“Miss Chloe and Miss Charlotte look fine.”

“Should I become a priest and judge based on the outside?”

Then, Nyx opened his eyes as if he had attained enlightenment.

“Huh, I guess that means… … !”
