Addict's Recovery Journal

133. Terpatijan

1.

What should I call a turning point in life?

Eustacio Wiblet Leonore had one just like it.

That's 20 years from now.

As a warrior, as a wizard, and as a spiritualist, the young prince suddenly felt a strange popularity with his outstanding senses.

Directions are in the Imperial Secret Basement.

Eustacio frowned.

Only the Emperor and the Emperor of the Weblet Empire were allowed in there. Even the Imperial Family would not even know it exists if it wasn't the Imperial Family. The Imperial Prince Eustacio only knows that it is important, and he doesn't even know what's inside.

It is imperative that someone conceals and attempts to approach.

Night vision.

The area is quiet.

Only Eustacean felt a sense of intelligence.

It's a good thing I can't tell anyone about the existence of the basement.

He quietly got out of bed.

Later, what he saw, headed for the basement, was a lump of mucus that felt a great magical power. It was a strangely human-like silhouette, as dark as water.

He took out his self-defense armor.

“· · What are you? ”

Of course I'm talking to myself.

It wasn't a question I was expecting an answer to.

Huh · · · Who are you?

Suddenly, I heard a clear, clear voice.

Eustacio was startled.

It's because the black mass that looked like a monster suddenly had something similar to the human mouth.

He swallows a dry saliva.

· · · Eustacio Wiblet Leonard, a knowledgeable successor to the Great Wiblet Empire. What were you, a monster? ”

Ah · · · I did something and it was a local aristocrat.

The mucus is consistent. Soon, the monster transformed into the image of a young human girl.

“I have studied many mysteries of the Polymorphic Wizard Mock. I'm interested in the underground cavities of this imperial palace. ”

A girl who claimed to be a polymorph told Eustacio an amazing story.

─ The Devil is sleeping in the Imperial Palace basement. The Devil, Therpatizan, who is powerful enough to shake the plague of the Prima continent.

─ Self has long been tracking the whereabouts of demons while researching archaeology, and as a result has only reached the depths of the imperial palace.

Eustacio quickly realized that the girl's story was not a lie.

If the empire has been closely associated with the devil since ancient times, the walk of the Wiblet Empire that refuses to enter the church will also be explained.

He looked at the girl.

The posture felt by this strange creature was incredibly powerful. Since childhood, it has been called a written account, and after maturity, it was Ustachio who despised the famous continental powers, but the chances of winning against this girl did not seem to be great.

He asked in a cautious manner.

“· · Strange, even if the story is true. You snuck into the Devil's basement. What were you gonna do? ”

“Don't stare at me like that! It's no big deal. I've always been interested in research. You don't have to stare so hard at it? Without the genetic information of the Huanglongs, we won't be able to get into the depths. ”

“ · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Eustacio looks at the direction of the metal door she pointed at. The giant door is as secure as ever. If you look at the potted metals on the surface, they won't break with a dazzling magic attack.

Given this kind of information, perhaps she wants Eustacio to cooperate with her underground research.

To be honest, I'm interested in the existence of the devil. The Demon Contractors he saw in the literature used to wield enormous power together.

In the end, he was subdued by the church without exception, but Eustacio thought it was just a saying because the demon contractors of the past acted foolishly.

‘What if I gain the power of the devil? · · · ’

The entire continent can be put in the palm of your hand. I'm sure we can accomplish something different than our father who has worked so hard for us.

He asked the girl.

“If you're really here for pure research, can you guarantee that you won't harm me and my empire?" ”

“After all, I'm a talented person who can write magical contracts. Why would I do that? ”

Eustacio nods.

Then the girl laughed.

Twenty years passed from that.

In the meantime, Eustacio has not neglected the boundaries of the polymorph who calls himself "The Mock."

If he had done something suspicious, he would have put his life on the line, but betrayal was not just a mock who actively cooperated with his plan.

As a knowledgeable wizard, Eustacio's vigilance toward Mock was largely diluted when he gave every piece of advice and eventually handed it over to the Devil Terpatizan, who was sealed deep in the basement.

As I said before, I only asked for a piece of Terpatijan's energy or a sample of his blood, a contractor, for research.

In fact, Mok and Eustacio were okay with being priests.

A villa in the Wiblet Empire.

The two of them reunited in two years.

Mock, who has been playing Eustacio for a long time, asked.

“I heard Blissful took the Visagna kid, Simon's sidekick, too. Looks like you're in a lot of trouble, huh? ”

Eustacio recalls the assassins who broke into the Guild House the other day.

A young man with a brain.

A boy in strange lords.

My head aches whenever I think of their faces. In particular, the latter child who broke the armor completely was able to compete with Eustacio, who boasted of being more than a Triple Star without the Devil's power.

“I've squeezed enough girl's blood for the last few years. The plan should be straightforward as we have sufficient quantities of serum tablets. ”

“Aye. Of course I do. ”

Mock was a young girl, just like when he first met Eustacio.

She is her favourite appearance among many shapes that can transform into anything, triggering unconscious alertness to the other party. Of course, there are not only such silicical reasons, but also personal symbols mixed to some extent.

Eustacio looks at her and asks.

“What are the trends of the Blissful? ”

“I see you've made your way to Clan Master, the boy named Aiden who attacked you. ”

“Don't be foolish. I know that much. The important thing is not what's out there, but what's underneath. ”

“Not funny.”

She grumbles, explaining.

“The Blissful Clan seems to be in frequent contact with the Holy See. Next time, I might not only send one or two scary assassins, but I might as well take a stand at the national level. It's time for you to go through the same ordeal as the other demon contractors. ”

“Hmm.”

“So, you've got a plan, right? ”

“The Guild House has already been moved. ”

The Prazequeak Guild only has three large buildings in the capital city of the Empire.

One of them was identified prior to the last raid, but there is little way to determine the details of the other two locations on the outside.

Mock nods and asks.

“And I told you that the needle that stabbed you with the letter last time was like an" S "needle, right? What if the Holy Father reveals the ingredients publicly? ”

“It inherits the high ground and builds walls with the outside. The condolences you've been preparing so far should cover the entire central region. ”

Most of the Frazqueak guild members who were addicted to medicine became like devils. They are a force of superior power, a slave who obeys his commands.

Although the Holy See did not fully spread because of the rapid response of the Holy See, some nobles everywhere addicted to drugs have become close to similar demons, so you may need help depending on the situation.

Eustacio sighs.

I wanted to swallow up the whole continent after a few more years of careful preparation, but planning doesn't always go your way.

We need to focus on the enemy at hand.

“Let's publicize the fact that the Crown Prince Eustacio is the devil's contractor, and call on the Webleh Empire to cooperate! ”

The bishop of the Struggle Church exclaimed softly. A bishop from the Church of Life frowns slightly and asks.

“The Wiblet Empire has long been shunning churches. What if they don't accept it? ”

“It's not obvious. Of course I'm going to do the talent show. ”

“Don't you know there are demons roaming the capital city of the Wieble Empire? There will be many paladins and priests sacrificed. ”

“Ha, are you just going to stare at me like this? ”

“That's not the story! It means we need to discuss other options! ”

“Quiet.”

Dorothea, the saint of the Circular Church, has left the meeting room and is silent at once.

I raised my hand in the middle of it.

“You may speak, Master Stroke. ”

“The key is one thing. If you defeat the main demonic contractor, you will lose your power and return to your normal self. ”

“If only the Crown Prince could handle it like that, all problems would be solved, but · · assassination is impossible. Master Stroke knows best, right? ”

Dorothy nods at you.

The emperor's recent breath has made boundaries and checkpoints around the Imperial capital a few times more thorough.

It is difficult to infiltrate, and even if a small number of people succeed in infiltrating, it is difficult to know what traps are lurking inside.

“But I think assassination is the answer. ”

“Why do you think that, Aiden? ”

“Maybe they're reading our thoughts. They'll think it's likely to reveal information about the Demon Contractor. and how to deal with that as well. ”

“A countermeasure?”

“The entire empire will be swallowed up as soon as we hear of the announcement. because they have that kind of power and reason. ”

“ “ · · · · · · · · ·. ” ”

There are only two Triple Star powerhouses on the opposing team. Even if one of them is the emperor who has the right to inherit the kingdom, he will be able to take power from the emperor in an instant.

However, Prazqueak's view of the situation is due to some risks.

Residents of this world are vaguely afraid of the existence of demons. If it were another country, Eustacio would have been banished no matter how royal. However, it is hard to predict what will happen if the Wiblet Empire builds a wall with churches.

At worst, a country may be born that officially accepts the existence of devil worshipers.

“· · · But like I said, assassination is hard. The means of infiltration are inappropriate. ”

“Instead of sneaking in, let's just bring the elites into the opposing camp. ”

“Yes?”

Hearing this, the angels of each church look dumbfounded.

That's the reaction I was expecting. This plan should never be leaked to the outside world, so I kept it a secret from the Holy See people.

I got up on the spot instead of the description.

“I have a good transportation plan. Follow me.”

A week after the meeting.

A small ship travels over the Wiblet Empire at an alarming speed. On board are the members of the Blissful Spiel clan, including myself, and the elite of the Holy See.

I looked at the ground and asked.

“Respinnel, what's the situation? ”

No problem, my lord.

“Okay, let's double-check the coordinates of the building we're going to raid. ”

Understanding, Checking Coordinates and Starting Orbit Calculation 0043200 · ·.

A key part of the plan is the respinnel, which has been converted into a aerial vessel.

Ir Mokwee or Eustacio wouldn't have thought of this.

Basically, the pilgrims have very few populations, and it is very rare to deal with air wars using them.

I looked at 32 passengers and asked.

“Are you ready?”
