9th Circle Lord

Cox only laughed at Luther's proposal.

Then I looked at the beer glasses and started looking inside the waxy tavern.

He said.

“Humans are interesting. It's like the lights are going out. I die, but I don't emit all kinds of light to express myself. ”

Luther stopped saying that.

“I think I like it now. ”

“I don't think it's time to watch humans who don't have the same life and don't know the end of it. So I'm satisfied now. I don't intend to change now. ”

Luther nods.

The same is true of people, but if you like the present, you can rest easy.

I don't think I can reverse Cox's current enjoyment.

“I respect your thoughts. ”

It was unfortunate, but I can't force it.

Luther raised a glass of beer and asked for a toast.

“You should be happy to have a new friend. ”

“Let's meet our drinking buddies sometimes. ”

“That would be nice. ”

The two who hit the glass had a drink and had a conversation with Dorando.

It was time to go back to tolerance and break up.

Cox advised Luther.

“I prefer not to greed. ”

“Greed?”

“Yes. There's nothing good about the Demon King and his enemies. Man is his realm. Sometimes you need to get used to being ruled. ”

“Thank you for your advice. ”

“Seeing the look on your face, I don't think the seedlings are working either. Why are you trying to buy it and suffer? Isn't that enough for now? No, maybe it's convenient. We're completely out of that gullet you're talking about. You can live comfortably if you want to. But why do you want to fight the Demon King? ”

Cox wondered.

The world is always going to be dominated by someone.

And the Demon King's rule is at least better.

They conceal the truth and use the Church to receive wealth, but they do not interfere more directly.

Luther said.

“No one wants to fight on purpose. I do not intend to engage with the Demon King on purpose. ”

“By the way?”

“I've done too much of what I didn't want to do with someone's interference, I'm tired of the past. I don't want to do anything else. ”

Cox laughed.

“No one wants to be ruled. But we are exceptions. ”

“Do you think so? Cox. A man of power is destined to face an equal or greater enemy one day. I intend to prepare to know that. ”

“Interesting theory. So you got yourself a fight? ”

“It's impossible to predict a future you don't know, but it's not impossible to reverse it. I'm already against my destiny. ”

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Luther said goodbye to Cox, who was impressed to see if he was telling the truth.

“I'll see you later. ”

Luther turned around and headed my way. Looking at his back, Cox sweeps his chin.

“What an interesting friend. ”

Human beings, as always, don't know the end and make you wonder, but Luther's future was really exciting.

“I think I'm going to do something. ”

Whatever the purpose, if you have faith, it is a way to move forward without being shaken.

Cox truly wondered what future Luther would have.

The Temple of Anes Branch of Resistance has become crowded.

That's what Ambassador Rapid was waiting for.

With the consideration of Priest Tebe, the Crusader visited Luther's Junction early in the morning to inform him of it.

However, the paladin did not look well.

Something must have happened.

“Did something happen? ”

“Priest Tebe's ambassador promotion has been cancelled. ”

“Like that.”

Luther, who pretended to be sad, asked again.

“Did High Priest Rapid say so? ”

“Yes, he was very upset. ”

“I see. I see. ”

“Do you want to go to the temple right now? ”

“I won't.”

“Got it.”

Luther, who was equipped to go out, headed straight for the temple.

However, the atmosphere of the temple was as expected.

When Luther appeared, the apprentice priests began to greet him.

Everyone looks as dark as one.

Luther, who was aware of the situation, grabbed an apprentice priest and pretended not to know.

“Did something happen in the temple? ”

“Priest Tebe's ambassador promotion has been cancelled. ”

“What's the reason? ”

“I don't know the details of the inner lining, but that's why the atmosphere is turbulent. ”

Why was Priest Tebe so confident that he could not become an ambassador?

I doubted it, but he was also brief.

“Where is the High Priest? ”

“I'll walk you through it.”

The apprentice priest immediately led the Luther to the prayer room.

Now that the High Priest has appeared, the congregation is crowded.

Luther glanced at the high priest memorizing the prayer door.

Priest Tebe was an equally old figure. After praying with a gentle face, the high priest blessed the congregation.

Luther asked the apprentice priest.

“What about Priest Tebe? ”

“You are resting because you are tired.... ”

Seeing the horse's tail blur, it seems that he was shocked by news of the cancellation of the High Priest's promotion.

Luther confronted the High Priest in person without being able to do so.

Luther, who stopped the high priest from returning after the blessing, greeted him.

“It is an honor to meet the High Priest. ”

“Who are you? ”

“I'm a punishing priest. Please understand that we are unable to provide your name. ”

“Priest of Punishment? ”

Immediately the eyes of the High Priest were shining.

The ambassador, who was looking at Luther with a hawk's gaze, touched him.

“Follow me.”

I think I have something to say.

Luther followed him quietly.

A monogamy with the High Priest was not possible without permission.

Ambassador Rapid, who sits face to face in a labyrinth with no one, expressed his curiosity.

“You're so young. ”

The authority of the penal priest should be used with caution. Thus, there are many who are more experienced and deeply related than young priests who are too young to strike.

In the eyes of the High Priest, it seemed like a special case.

Luther said boldly.

“Lucky for you, the Holy Father has given me permission. ”

Priests of chastisement are made by the choice of the Holy Father. Luther was also familiar with the facts, and that is why he mentioned it.

The High Priestess asked deeply.

“Where are you from, how were you chosen as a chastisement priest, and who has been expelled so far? ”

Luther thought he was doubting himself in the High Priest's question.

So I asked.

“Do you doubt me? ”

“I just wanted to make sure there was something like that. ”

Luther confronted Reverend Rapid instead of answering.

The gaze was confronted and Luther's gaze deepened.

The question came to the attention of the High Priest.

“Why can't you answer? ”

I just look at him without talking.

Charlna Luther, who is about to deepen her doubts, has begun to control the runner around the High Priest.

It was Cox's technique, but if it affects the surrounding Rune language, it creates behavior that you are unaware of.

Cox controlled Geladin's movements, but he touched his mind.

It acted as a trusting psychic runner. With him Luther said.

“Born an orphan and entrusted to a temple. Afterwards……. ”

A false monologue unfolded. After a while, faith came to mind in the eyes of the High Priest.

“You did. You did. ”

It's nothing. It doesn't sound blurry, it sounds true.

The High Priest, who believed Luther's words, took out the business.

“I need you to help me. ”

For the first time, the High Priest asks the Priest for help.

It cannot be and must not happen.

But he formed faith by Luther and considered himself my man.

The High Priest had already formed a trust in Luther without even knowing himself.

So I asked.

Luther nods, pretending she doesn't know.

“Of course. Just say the word. ”

“There are those who want to extract me. Can you get rid of them? ”

“Who is it?”

“High Priest Derburn and his men. They have my weaknesses, and they will discuss them at the competition soon. Prevent them from speaking. ”

Weaknesses are captured and forces are pushed.

That is why I was unable to bring up Tebe, who was about to become an ambassador.

Ambassador Rapid felt a threat to his position, so he had to take precautions.

However, a trustworthy punishment priest is before my eyes.

He intends to use the router to eliminate the static that threatens him.

Luther took it well, but not for free.

“All right, but I need something. ”

“What's that? ”

“In order to enter the interior of the Central Temple freely, we need a proof of permission from Ambassador Rapid. ”

When I heard about the High Priest's situation, I wished it well.

Originally, I was going to rob him of his identity, but the High Priest has a lot of eyes.

Therefore, it is rather advantageous for you to get a pass that will allow you to fully navigate the Central Temple in your current position.

The High Priest nods.

“If static can be eliminated, all available means of mobilization will be used. ”

As he spoke, he gave up his ring.

“A ring given to a surrogate. Right now, it's vacant, so you can use it as much as you like. ”

It was true that the representative's ring did not even know Luther.

Upon obtaining an unexpected harvest, Luther liked it.

“Got it.”

“I trust you. ”

Ambassador Rapid sent him unlimited trust without even knowing Luther's plan.

But Luther intended to abandon his faith.

He decided to concentrate on looking into the interior of the Central Temple more than the High Priest asked him to.

It was Cox who welcomed the returning Luther.

“Where do you keep going? You must be very busy. ”

“You must be at ease. ”

“I've avoided the lightning, not the silence. Marquis Colon seems generous, but he can't walk with one tap. ”

“Does the dragon see the human eye? ”

“Now that you're in a position, of course you are. I'm having a hard time getting that monster friend to sleep. Marquis Colon asked me to make a disciple of my child. ”

He, who was giggling, asked with interesting eyes.

“What are you planning to do now? ”

“We should leave.”

“What? Leaving? Suddenly?”

“I've achieved my purpose. I'm going to the Central Temple now. ”

“Hm. I don't know what it is, but it's fast. Are you leaving right now? ”

“You should.”

“Farewell as soon as you can. ”

Luther, who was sorry, asked him.

“I have one question. How did you figure out who I am? ”

“The dragon does not control the opponent through the Rune language. But that's impossible for you. So I figured it out.”

“I see.”

Cox pulls out the comms to Luther, who nods.

“You'll often get in touch. ”

“I won't.”

Luther shook hands with Cox.

This is how the first encounter with Dragon Cox ended.

I announced my departure expenses and started preparing. Kalua and others were quite skilled in seeing the outside world, and the evil spirit was making a lot of impressions.

It was more unpleasant to suffer from Marquis Colon, as Cox said.

I'm ready to leave now that I'm ready to go to Barkoz.

Marquis Colon didn't catch Austin leaving.

He said Yellow Nam came down, but I couldn't hold him even if I wanted to.

That way, Luther's group left Marquis Colon and moved to the capital.
