chapter 25
Mission No.2 Tower of Seal (04)
A priest who looked a little older shouted at Ewald.
“Young people! Come to your senses! That’s the devil! We must not yield to evil powers!”
“No, I’m not really giving in.”
The priest, with a mixed expression of frustration and regret, shouted again at Ewald’s subtle reaction.
“What are you talking about, young man! It’s not too late, so hurry up and wake up! Shout out Valkier’s name and concentrate! Right now!”
“Hey, I’m not religious, am I? Where are you from?”
“It’s not too late, young man! Hurry!”
“Hey, so I’m not sure what’s late.”
“The one on your back is the evil demon king! You are being manipulated!”
What was frustrating was Ewald. The requirements are very simple, but don’t understand them?
“Okay, take out the high priest.”
“That’s Demon King Usbel! It’s the demon king that some crazy guy took and ran away with! I wonder how that thing escaped from that magic swordsman, come to your senses! Unleash this magic right now!”
Oops!
A priest made a mistake he shouldn’t have made.
“… Hey, you bastard! What, are you out of your mind?”
Ewald’s eyes changed.
“You bastard with no hair, see what you’re talking about?”
The priest, who was giving Ebalt admonition instead of admonition, hesitated back at the thrilling death emanating from Ewald. Wasn’t the Demon King that little guy?
I don’t know why this young man who looks scarier than the devil is getting so angry.
“I brought you out, you rotten bastard.”
“What, what?”
“Hey, you ignorant priests and slaves, isn’t what you guys are doing to find and prevent demon lords from appearing all over the continent, you bastards? Have those guys who had been ignoring their duties during the time of Beelzedeus still dereliction of duty, you bastards?”
“Hey, hey, what are you saying… !”
In the end, Ewald’s mental cord was cut off.
Recalling the actions of the priests at the time of the Beelzedeus incident, which sent down only one official letter to ask for help from sucking their fingers, Ewald growled with a terribly ferocious face and shouted with mana mixed in his voice.
“Shut up!”
“aaagh!”
It was a crude mana management that was incomparable to Adele, but even this had enough destructive power. Ewald’s thunderous roar was filled with anger and spread in all directions.
“There are five reports of suspected demon lords! That’s what I heard when I woke up! All you know how to do is pray, you incompetent bastards? If you hear the rumors that demon lords who hate demon lords have appeared, then you should run and subdue them, isn’t it normal! Fighting with the demon king that I brought out to use for a good purpose, and making me go through a lot of hardships in that monastery, you bastards who wouldn’t mind drinking this!”
“Stop it! Sorry!”
“And what do you mean, recovery? Dispose? Hey, you bastards like sea anemones who don’t even know how to do this! Instead of you, go around looking for and subjugating the demon king, then you should be grateful, you ungrateful scum!
Finally, Ewald exploded.
“What do you guys know how to do?”
Kwaaang!
The temple shook. Ebalt’s mana, which he had squeezed in tightly, rode his voice for an instant and slammed it in all directions.
The momentum was enough to make Usbel, who was sitting on Ewald’s back, very nervous.
Just then, someone’s voice rang through the temple.
“Your young fellow is so arrogant! Make sense! Are you saying that we were neglecting the demon lord, you dare!”
An old-looking priest bravely stepped in front of Ewald. And thanks to that, Ewald had to be robbed of the absurdity.
“… What else is this?”
“I’m not talking carelessly! How can a friend who is still very young say such harsh things!”
“Ha, you’re old now.”
Ewald drew a mocking sneer on his lips.
“Then can I stop saying harsh things when I get older, you old-fashioned bastard?”
“What, what?”
“Do the damn side kick. Where is this bastard who looks less than 50 years old, old-fashioned! Hey! How old are you!”
And how old are you? The priest with an expression full of energy screamed out loud.
“I will be fifty-one this year! What is the blue friend talking about!”
“I was born in 197, you bastard! Who is born in this century now? Young friend? You carry sh*t instead of brains, you brainless bastard!”
Of course, it was all true, but who would look at Ewald and imagine he was born in the last century? The priest, who had been scolded by Balt for no reason, kicked his tongue with a puzzled face.
“Young man is very crazy.”
“For a fifty-one, senility came early, that one.”
Ewald turned around.
However, a solemn voice filled the main hall ahead of Ewald, who was about to spit harsh words.
“What is this fuss about?”
It is inside With an expression asking what this is again, Ewald turned to where he had heard his voice.
At a glance, a different man appeared in the priestly uniform he was wearing. As soon as the man, who looked quite old, appeared, all the priests around him bowed their heads.
Judging by the atmosphere, he is a priest of a fairly high rank. Ewald, who had a look on his face asking if he had just appeared, quickly observed the man.
‘Huh?’
It’s a decent divine power. The energy emanating from the whole body was on a different level from that of the clumsy priest. Ewald smiled involuntarily, but it was not a friendly smile.
“Who are you? Who are you, making such a fuss in the halls?”
“It’s not a fuss, it’s just something to look at…”
Weird.
While looking at the man, Balt tilted his head involuntarily.
I don’t know what’s strange, but it’s strange anyway. However, that high-ranking priest – judged to be – was the same. After looking at Balt for a while, he tilted his head without saying anything.
The bizarre situation in which the two looked at each other and tilted their heads was finally broken by the priest.
“No way.”
“… No way.”
“Brother Ewald?”
“Painting… D?”
“Brother Ewald!”
The priest’s face brightened. However, the faces of the priests began to change into those punched in the pit of the stomach.
Did the old nobleman call that young man bro?
“Peddiem Jabastian?”
“Oh my! Crazy, crazy! Brother Ewald!”
“Hey, how did you get here…”
A priest who looked older than sixty, fluttering his priestly clothes, ran to Ewald and grabbed Ewald’s hand with both wrinkly hands.
“Oh, how much is this, right? How can you say you’re not old at all?”
“Uh… 27 years. Not getting old is a bit long.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. What, do I have to tell you? Hey, what is this,hahahaha! Busty what happened? Was this the last thing you saw before you left to catch the Demon King?”
“Is it? Well, I remember whining about not being able to join the punitive squad, hey.”
“No, when did you whine?”
Peddiem, who looked like he would die of joy to anyone, shook Ewald’s hand and was very excited.
“Hey, aren’t you three years younger than me? What’s so dry?”
“Fifty-two? Growing old is annoying now.”
“Have you grown old alone?”
“Ayu, it happened that way.”
“When the time comes, avoid it for a bit. Did you sit down with all of that?”
“Hey, brother too. Your mouth is still dirty.”
“Baby, your mouth is alive.”
Ewald chuckled and tapped Pe Diem’s face lightly with his fist. Anyone can see that he is an older brother who treats his younger brother whom he has not met in a while.
And that figure was properly disintegrating the mentality of all the priests surrounding the two.
Is it true that I was born with that face in the last century!
“How are you? Seeing what you’re wearing, it looks like you’re in charge of something?”
“hahahaha, is it? It’s been a while since I put on my uniform, but my older brother is coming. I am the high priest, high priest.”
“Really? You?”
“Ayu, sure.”
“Hey, you’ve made it, my Peddy. Congratulations, hey.”
“Oh, tell me something.”
“Is everyone doing well? Marcus is the commander-in-chief.”
“Ah, then, it’s been a few years, and I should be filling up at least one seat. All the adventurous guys are now doing it one by one.”
“Boy.”
“How have you been?”
“… Not really.”
Ewald smiled brightly and kicked Peddiem – the high priest of the Great War of Valkier – on the back with his right foot.
“Oh hey, you bastard. You’re the high priest, hey. There are all sorts of special things. Did your old friend hand it over to you and die?”
“Ah, brother, the kids are watching too…”
“What? Little guy, where is this, where… Huh? Hey man.”
“hhhhh.”
Peddiem even giggled and ran around to avoid Ewald’s kicks, then cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
Everyone except the two of them kept their eyes closed and watched the two people’s actions.
“How by voting these days. I changed it because the old lady had it for too long. So it hurts a lot.”
Two people who call the former High Priestess Nochinne.
This was no place to intervene. Some even made their way out of the main hall, crossing themselves.
I don’t know if it’s the demon king or what.
I couldn’t figure out what his identity was, but I quickly decided that I shouldn’t be beaten by this man who has the high priest as his younger brother.
However, Ewald, who had no intention of craving more, fanned the priest’s face with a gesture of his hand. I mean go fast. The priest did not miss the opportunity and quickly retreated.
It seems that Usbel has disappeared from everyone’s mind before they know it.
“Hey, brother, brother. Where and how did you buy it?”
“It’s too long to talk about.”
“Good. Let’s talk. An amazing car came in. It looks like someone gave it to my older brother to come.”
“No, I think we can do that later.”
“Hmm? What’s that on the back? Kid?”
Peddiem, who found Uthbel with her eyes wide open, with her eyes closed, hardened her smile.
“What?”
Oops.
“Isn’t this the Demon King?”
The atmosphere changed completely with a sudden dialect. For an instant, Ewald took a step back without realizing it. Pe Diem took away all of his bouncy expressions so far and gave him one click of his tongue.
Then, a thick voice came out of his mouth.
“… Ahhh, my lord. This is not so much No matter how much, this is a dick, right? Did you forget to buy me?”
“Hey, Pedi. Wait for a sec.”
An expression that seemed to contain a smile somewhere began to appear on Pediem’s face. Of course, that laugh was far from a benevolent one.
The priest is laughing evilly.
“Was it your older brother who took out the Demon King?”
Disappointment flashed across Ewald’s face.
“Hey, listen. That’s right I brought it out. That’s right, but I need him to do what Kasper asked me to do.”
“No, well, if I say this to the saint, the saint might be saddened, but that’s the case with the saint.”
“Hey, wait a minute. Just listen to me for a second.”
“Still, the name of the Naga is the Valkier Ambassador, wouldn’t it be troublesome if the Demon King enters the main hall? What are you doing to bring out the devil and call him? Are you here to deliver?”
“Hey! A little!”
Ewald quickly backed away. No matter how many times they went through death together, Peddiem is the high priest.
He was so happy that he forgot Us Bell.
But one more thing Ewald is forgetting is,
“Holy Father!”
That man named Pedim Javastian,
“Hey, don’t talk too long!”
In terms of disposition, he boasted an equal position with Ewald,
“I have to get rid of it to use it!”
It is said that he is a priest of the Gaechaban.
“Hey! Hey man, pedi! For a moment!”
“Oh, no need!”
With that cry, an aura of enormous concentration was created around Peddiem’s body.
In Ewald’s experience, it was a brilliant aura he had never seen before.
“… f*ck!”
