Chapter 512
Chapter 512:
Branches of the Witch Order are spread throughout Baranoa, but the largest number of branches has recently opened in Tetra, the capital of the Holy Kingdom.
The reason is simple.
This is because the witches were currently obsessed with operations centered on the capital.
If you go back through the history of the witches, there are people who fell victim to the tyranny of Baranoa.
Since the past, the Holy Kingdom has defined heretics, or witches, who use black magic as evil, and has committed widespread massacres.
The so-called witch hunt can be seen as an act of government aimed at rallying the faith of its subjects, but the problem is that this act has continued without any special regulations.
A justification for murdering a political opponent.
Or, it has been used as it pleases, including as a justification to eliminate great people who are trusted by their subjects.
For that reason, the group formed by those who were persecuted and those who were sacrificed is the witch group.
They actually succeeded in reaching the true nature of the witches, who were heretics, and passed on a lot of power from them.
Baranoa can ultimately be seen as a group of real witches who went into hiding after the witch hunt, those who almost became victims of the witch hunt, and the bereaved families of the victims.
Currently, the witches were systematically spreading rumors that shook the high-ranking people of the Holy Kingdom.
It was a mixture of many false rumors and lies, but exquisitely, it all turned out to be the truth…
The witches also looked down on the evils of the Holy Kingdom.
I had a vague expectation that I wouldn’t have crossed the line.
Sniff…
“What is this smell?”
“Branch manager?”
“Oh sorry. But did you originally call me that?”
“yes? “What are you talking about earlier?”
“No, no…”
Haseul, the head of the Tetra 3 branch of the Witches, tilted her head and focused on the meeting.
We talked with the branch executives about how far the operation has progressed and what the movements of the subjects will be like in the future.
“But isn’t it a bit strange?”
“yes? what?”
“They didn’t respond at all. “If it were the bishops we know, they would have gone on a rampage right away and been busy providing false explanations.”
“Iknow, right? I don’t think it will sink easily like this…”
“The strange thing that happened recently was something the priests should have paid more attention to in the first place. The response was insufficient and late. “There was enough room for us to dig in.”
“aha! Then, the subjects will continue to pour out their anger like this and then calm down…”
“What if there is no sign of calming down?”
Sigh…
“I guess it’s a riot?”
“That’s right, whether it’s faith or something else, there are so many people whose families have disappeared, so how can we just suppress that sadness?”
“Hey… this isn’t going to be easy.”
“Yes, in the next few days, a major event will occur that will correct the ills of Baranoa.”
“Hmm… But where is the leader now?”
“You’re outside.”
“Where outside?”
“Toyuz Branch.”
“What does it look like there?”
“Have you not been there? you?”
“It’s been so long that my memory is vague.”
Branch leader Haseul explained diligently, even making hand gestures.
“It’s next to the sawmill near the logging site on the Toyuzu side… huh?”
Haseul tilted her head.
“And what was your name?”
She said that and looked around.
“… uh?”
All the executives were lying down with their eyes wide open. All of them bleeding from their egg-laden bodies.
“… Has the effect of the medicine run out?”
Deep!
A dagger was stuck in the center of Haseul’s neck.
“Kik…”
Haseul was trying to respond by grabbing her throat, but the man in front of her was faster than her.
Phew…
Phew Phew!
Kuuuuuuung…
As Haseul fell, the man looked around with an expressionless face.
A terrible scene.
A man quickly finds paper and pen and writes down the information he obtained.
Sasasak…
As he exited the building, a hawk flew to his shoulder.
“Captain… No, tell it to Kyra.”
Pudding…
The hawk flew away with the note hanging from its ankle.
* * *
The darkness of the Holy Kingdom works diligently.
Midar, kneeling on one knee, hears the voice of the person who turned around.
“Now the day of repentance has arrived.”
“….”
“Midar, please make a decision by then.”
“… All right.”
The one who turned around is Pope Daemon.
His voice disappeared and after a while Midar moved. He moves
around
…
he looks at the ground without saying a word, as if he is lost in thought.
Before I knew it, I was right in front of a fairly secret place.
“… City Inquisitor.”
The position of Chief Inquisitor is the most noble of all Inquisitors.
His position as chief inquisitor had authority that was perhaps comparable to that of a cardinal.
Midar had never used such authority carelessly before, but today was not a situation worth worrying about.
I’m confused and feel like I’m going to get nauseous at any moment.
“Get out of the way.”
“I was not informed of the bar visit.”
“… so?”
“Inside… another interrogator…”
“Another interrogator? who?”
“Interrogator Eira and Interrogator Batung.”
“…Okay. “Get out of the way.”
“… yes?”
Sigh…
A cool energy rose from Midar’s body.
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“… yes.”
Click…
Click…
The forbidden door opened.
Here lies one of the secrets hidden by the darkness of Baranoa.
He goes down
…
he goes down the rather ugly spiral staircase that leads to the basement, and eventually he comes into contact with the secret.
“Midar?”
“Oh, is it Midar?”
Deputy Chief Interrogator Eira and his close interrogator Batung.
Eira was a fair-skinned woman with long, curly red hair, and Batung was a long-haired man with deep-set cheeks.
“What are you doing here?”
“… It’s you.”
“we? “It’s us… to capture something.”
A girl was bound to a luxuriously decorated chair with heavy chains
.
A halo, a round circle, was floating above my head.
Crackling…
Crackling…
The Halo flashed a dull light.
“Because I might never see you again.”
“Hehehe… Grizz is really a crazy guy. “A machine that creates divinity.”
“….”
“Sometimes I get goosebumps at that author’s imagination.”
Ugh…
Eira wrapped her hand around the whip hanging nearby.
“… What are you trying to do?”
“Well, you’ll know when you see it.”
Whoa!
Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahchchchlightlight mark!
“Aaaah!”
Chijijiji-!
Brighter light flowed from the halo.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
“Uuuuu….”
Chijijijijijijik…
“Ahahahaha! Squeeze some more, Sophia. “Let your father, Griz, who abandoned you, hear it!”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut
_
Midar grabbed Eira’s wrist.
“… What does it mean?”
“I want some time alone.”
“so?”
“Get out of here, both of you.”
Batung shouted as if he were having a fit.
“I guess disputes between interrogators are prohibited?”
“The position of Chief Inquisitor is above all rules. “You forgot the main premise.”
“….”
“Don’t test my patience.”
Eira and Batung glared at Midar’s face, trembling with anger.
And that was it.
What they can do.
“… It’s a bit embarrassing.”
“I look forward to seeing that proud face distort one day.”
After Eira hit the whip on the floor, the two left.
Midar is confused.
That’s why, after visiting this place just once, I never came back again.
“… Sophia.”
“Is it a good afternoon outside the Midar Inquisitor?”
“….”
Sofia smiles.
A being created with so much precision that one would not feel it was a machine except for the vertical lines below both eyes.
Artificial god.
“Do you hate them?”
“I don’t hate it.”
“why?”
“I don’t know what hate is.”
Sophia has manipulated emotions.
Intentional kindness.
“That’s why I don’t hate it.”
“….”
How far does Baranoa’s evil karma go? How the most noble beings are transformed into disgusting beings.
“Forgive me for turning away.”
“I don’t know forgiveness. So I cannot forgive you.”
“… Is he like that too?”
Sigh…
Midar bent one knee and approached Sophia.
“I will pray for you.”
“Sophia is not a god. “I cannot grant your wish.”
“I knew before I was even an adult that God doesn’t listen to prayers. Okay.”
“Then why are you praying?”
“Whether you listen or not… this is an action to ease the burden on my heart.”
okay.
“It’s a cowardly act.”
“I can not understand.”
“… make me look forward to it.”
“Then I will listen to your prayers.”
Sophia’s hand goes up to the top of Midar’s head. A mysterious being that can feel human warmth in its hands.
Would the hands of the two interrogators who left earlier be this warm?
“Sophia.”
“yes.”
“What if you had all your feelings… what would it be like?”
“….”
“What was it like for you? “Maybe… he was angry when he saw us the way we were.”
“Midar.”
Sophia tilted her head.
“You don’t have to say maybe.”
“….”
“Sophia is not angry with you.”
“Because I don’t know… anger.”
“….”
“God….”
Midar cried quietly.
“Where are we headed? Save us… we are humble. Also…”
Sophia stroked his head.
“Judge.”

Snowfall had been moving with Sally ever since the meeting. I don’t know if the witches’ actions were right, but news has come that the subjects are rising up and condemning the leadership of Baranoa.
“Haha! Look at it! “What did I say?”
“The repercussions are stronger than I thought. “I can’t believe the front of the cathedral was full.”
“It’s been a few days already. “The people at the cathedral didn’t know that firewood was being continuously added and expected the fire to go out soon.”
After hearing that, Kang Seol tilted his head.
‘It’s strange, I guess…’
The high-ranking priests of Baranoa were corrupt, but they were not incompetent. If they were incompetent, they would have been swept away long ago. They knew how to defend their position. Because they are the best at it.
‘Is there something else you’re aiming for?’
When Kang Seol mentioned this, Sally waved her hand and said.
“okay okay. “I’ll dig a little deeper.”
Judging by their lukewarm response, I didn’t even tell Sally that I might not have enough time.
Snowfall is much closer to Sally than she realizes.
‘Because he’s Charlie’s younger brother.’
Over the past few days, the relationship between Snow Seol and Sally has progressed quite a bit. It seems that the strong force shown during the plot and the strong force he gave to Sally’s opinion had a lot to do with it.
“My brother is actually an incredibly great person, but… should I tell you this or not…”
– I am listening for the 394th time.
– Let’s fill it up to 400 times at once.
– I think I’ll fill it up today.
– Your brother is Charlie? yes yes.
“It looks like you followed your brother well.”
“me? That’s right. I couldn’t even see my parents, so I learned things from my older brother. ah! My brother is much stronger than me. “I’m just saying this just in case.”
“…are you that strong?”
“Do you know what happened to all the people who got involved?”
“how?”
Squeak…
Sally pretends to slit her throat with the blade of her hand.
“… okay?”
“Be scared.”
“You’re not scared at all!”
Sally was not a serious person.
A talkative person who speaks with a smile whenever you give him a little time.
If you tap it, it’s about your brother.
It’s a story of the past.
“Sally.”
“huh?”
“Speaking of the person you are after…”
“No! “I’ll tell you in three days.”
“Today is three days after what I said last time.”
“okay? “Then you should do it.”
– Is it true that they were chosen by the vote of the witch leader?
– This is election fraud.
– I saw it. Their mom gave hamburgers to the witches.
“Are you okay? “It’s such a scary story that it might make you want to urinate.”
“are you okay.”
“…Kyra.”
“… what?”
“look! “I told you it was scary.”
Kang Seol asked in confusion.
“Kyra… you say?”
“huh. “I’m after that bastard.”
There were many reasons why he was embarrassed, but there was another reason why he was most surprised at this part.
‘Kaira… is dangerous.’
If Sally had met Kyra even once while chasing her, she would be out of this world.
She was quite a strong woman, but she couldn’t even be compared to Kyra.
“Do you know about Kyra?”
“… What a piece of trash.”
“that’s right! It’s trash that can’t be tolerated. “It is also famous for wiping out an unrelated village and brutally murdering the princess of Yorum.”
“… But why are you chasing Kyra?”
“That’s… ha… can I say this?”
Sally said, biting her lip.
“He stole my brother’s things.”
“… what?”
“It was the things my brother left me, but they took it all in one night. …Ahaha.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, I became a fool who couldn’t even keep the things my brother left for me. So, I’m going to find him.”
The snowfall was silent.
Because what I heard was related to him and what followed was a bit shocking.
‘Charlie left some of his research for his younger brother. If it got to Kaira…’
Phew…
Kangseol sighed heavily and asked.
“That Kyra is coming?”
“Yes, the tail of the organization led by that guy has been caught. It was clearly headed to Baranoa.”
“The tail… was captured?”
“huh! why?”
Snowfall that closes your eyes.
‘It’s not that he was captured, he just showed his tail.’
Every once in a while, Kyra takes a risk and catches the attention of her pursuer.
“Have you confirmed that you entered Baranoa?”
“I think so. “I’m not sure…”
“Then I guess I know who those guys on the roof are now.”
“… what?”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa8551114588 there?
A large hole opened in the ceiling and a sharp sword pointed downward.
This is an attack targeting Snowfall and Sally.
Kwajiiiikik-!
Kang Seol kicked the table while sitting down and broke it. Debris blocked the assassins’ view.
“Hold your breath!”
“Hmm….”
Clink-!
Snowfall, carrying Sally, broke the window and threw herself outside.
Cough… Cough…
“Keheek… Kek… The members…”
Paaaaaaaaaa!
As soon as we got out, the dagger-sworded fish poured towards Kangseol.
Papapapot-!
Snowfall swung his cloak and struck down the dagger.
“That’s a fun cape.”
“…Kyra.”
A thin man wearing a mask was looking this way as if he had been standing there from the beginning.
“… found.”
Kyra grins.
But on the contrary, Kangseol also smiled.
Kang Seol said in an excited voice.
“I finally found it.”
“… what?”
“My fingers are less sore.”
Even if you bite ten fingers, there is bound to be one that hurts less.
“You damn bastard.”
