Episode 2: Gligoli Order/Black Mage (Grigori) Knights

During the conversation, the two Black Mages (Grigori) had reached the entrance to the headquarters of the Knights of Black Mages (Grigori).

The overall view of the headquarters, which looked black as if it were to blend into the darkness of the night, cannot be known.

"That's tough..."

The entrance door to the Knights headquarters is narrowly covered with beautiful and shining metal decorations, and dozens more thick bars of metal are closing the door.

Double doors, to say the least. The doors are even embedded with things like red, blue, and green glowing jewels. If you look closely, the metal decorations were not just decorations, they also seemed to represent some kind of story.

"Don't inadvertently touch it. Special black magic (Grimoire) hangs from this door because it does not pass through outsiders. If you touch it, Black Sarteen or not, I'm sorry."

"Whoa, whoa."

When he heard that, Bell accidentally jumped out in front of the door.

"There are also a large number of undeclared people trying to steal the metal and gems applied to this door. It's also a measure for that."

"Wait a minute. I'll open it now."

Knight took the key out of his pocket inside the Knights vest. The key was black like a black magician (grigori).

The key is then inserted into the key hole in the middle of the door.

The next moment, Bell breathed.

"Wow..."

When the key was plugged in, as if it were a kaleidoscope, the metal rod that was blocking the door began to glitter through the air, subdivided into several parts. The subdivided metals sum up an indescribable beauty.

While I was in love with that kaleidoscope, it disappeared painfully.

Next up is the second door. The majestic door slowly opened towards the back as several gems applied sparkled. This one was even a normal way to open it.

"This door cannot be broken by the black magic (Grimoire) there. Even a powerful black magician (grigori) like Black Sarteen can't break or open this door. Unless you have this key."

"That's the Black Mages (Grigori) Knights.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Never mind, because I can't let you in when the door opens except for the members"

Gotun!

"It hurts."

The next moment, Bell hit the invisible wall with momentum. Apparently, he hit his nose hard. This is what I meant when I said I couldn't let anyone in except the members.

Even if the door opens, there is an invisible door waiting ahead. The door determines whether the one who passes is of the Knights or an outsider.

"Oh, I was. You're not a member yet."

"Well, if you were going to bring me in from the beginning, that's what you should do."

Bell looks dissatisfied, mopping his bumped nose. The nose was bright red.

"Haha, I'm sorry. Can you hold this?"

Night laughing bitterly again handed Bell the black key he had just used.

"Can I have it?

"If you have that, you can get through that door too. Give it back when you get through."

Baffled but receiving a black key, Bell slowly walks out. Bell moved cautiously, wondering if she would bump into him again.

At that moment when he passed through the invisible door, Bell was a little nervous, but when he found out he was able to pass through that door without difficulty, a sigh of relief leaked.

"Give it back."

When Knight offered his hand, Bell honestly gave him the black key.

It was a long corridor to extend to the two present who safely entered the Knights' interior. The corridor, made of stone folds on both ceilings and floors, seems to have lasted a long time.

"Why is it so long?

"Everything is for the sake of our members. With this long corridor, in the unlikely event of a break-in, members will have plenty of time to escape"

"Maybe this corridor has some tricks or something?

At this time, Bell was remembering what had happened at the Gopher Mansion. This is not a house for one person, but a building of a global organization. It's no wonder there's something karaki.

"You got it. The trick is activated only on those who break in without due process. There's a black magic trick. If the intruder reaches this point, he will be exposed to relentless black magic (Grimoire) attacks. Well, it's almost impossible to get this far."

To tell anyone who breaks into Knights headquarters that there is no life. That's all that puts the safety of our members first.

"Heh heh..."

Bell was trembling, imagining if he had been an intruder. If I knew there were multiple such schemes, no one would think of breaking into the Knights headquarters.

………………

When the story came to a paragraph, Bell suddenly shut up.

Is there something you want to say?

"Mr. Knight is one of the Black Sarteens isn't he...... but he doesn't look like the devil is taking over his body"

Human beings who are put into the body by demons are usually deprived of the initiative of the body. Out of control of the devil shouldn't be possible for most humans.

"Oh, that. You care, don't you? Actually, I don't know either. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember that night. But I remember saying I was a Black Sartain and I was obsessed with Johann Faust's ploy."

Bell himself isn't complete, but he's out of the devil's control. On such a night, Bell learned a little bit of intimacy.

"Johann Faust is my father........................ do you hate him after all? He's inheriting the blood of that son of a bitch. You despise me too..."

Bell himself is the victim, but also the son of the perpetrator. Belle Queer Faust was placed in a very complicated situation.

"Contempt................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Indeed, Johann Faust is your father, and I hate Johann Faust. But what's the connection between the blood? I think it's a good idea to cut off such a negative connection yourself. You have no sin. [M] You don't have to worry more than you have to."

"That's what I want to do too......... but if I close my eyes, it's his face that floats. I can't forget that hateful face. I don't even know where he is right now, but one day I'm sure..."

"You don't have to say any more. Your feelings were well conveyed. [M] But, you know, I've been trying to think positive lately. Black Sarteen, like us, can act on his own free will. I think we're lucky. Unless the devil takes away his body, powerful magic belongs to him. You should think positive, too."

Knight was an optimistic man. He's the same as Bell, standing under circumstances where he doesn't even know when the devil will take his body from him. It is a tremendous fear, and there is no time for the mind to rest.

But among them, he was trying to find hope.

"But I'm not free to use my powers..."

Knight may be able to freely use black magic (Grimoire), but Belle isn't. Had Arrosha's power been freely used, it would have been easier to win the battle against Belzebub, against Raleigh, against the Pope and against the Moon Guard (Luna Guard).

"That's why you're going to learn how to handle that power under a special lecturer. At least you can be stronger now."

"... are you sure you can use Arosha's powers?"

"Trust me."

Knight's words were powerful for Bell, who was losing confidence. Not as bright as Lili, but Knight was also another bright person. The bright ones illuminate Bell's darkness. It's also weird to say that the night is bright.

Talking like that, the two of them were reaching in front of a new door.

"Come on, now it's time to get to HQ"

That's what Knight said, while opening the door in front of him. The light leaking through that door illuminates a dim corridor. Being used to the dark, Bell narrowed his eyes.

At the end of the door there was a view as if it were a hotel lobby.

Its space, based on black, is quite large and lined with many sofas. And of course, the couch is black, and most of it sits the Knights dressed in the same uniform as Knight.

The space was as luxurious as it could possibly be from the best black magician (grigori) organization in the world. Gemstone brilliant chandelier on ceiling and luxurious drifting black carpet on floor. There were piles of delicious seemingly delicious fruits and desserts available on the small round tables that I keep everywhere.

If you widen your field of view, you can see that the space is circular. The place at the center of the circle is divided by walls and another room appears to exist.

When the door opens, the sights of the Knights concentrate there. Maybe you're used to seeing Knight, but next to him is an inexperienced person who doesn't even wear a Knights uniform. The member's gaze never moved for a while.

"This is the members' talking room. Look, don't just stand there and walk."

This space is a place for interaction among members, as well as a place for rest. It appears that the knights who withdrew will gather in this talking room (salon).

Even as Bell started walking, everyone's gaze never went off. Most human attention in the colloquial room is drawn to incompetent newcomers. Some people are obsessed with eating and have not noticed its existence, but most humans look at the bell.

Among them, there was a man staring at the bell nearest. The bell was pierced by its powerful and sharp gaze. The man staring forcefully at the bell hangs on the wall and arms around him.

The sharp eyes piercing the bell are yellow, reminiscent of the raptors. And the long hair that stretches down to the waist is blue and is grouped in one piece. It's a long ponytail.

Only this man remained strongly under Bell's impression as numerous figures stared at Bell. From there, I felt something different and awesome than the others.

"Walk faster. I'll see you, Gregorio."

Knight prompts the bell, which gathers many gazes.

At the tip of Knight's urging, there was a door lined with an atmosphere. Its black door leads to a room in the center of the circle. There seems to be some intricate decoration from top to bottom, but I'm not sure about the details because the whole thing is black.

“La (la) Chambre de (d) Commandeur"

Among the black decorations, only this letter could be seen as clear. It means the Knights Captain's room.
