Black Summoner

Episode 274: Case

- Delamis Palace.

The moments that touched upon Japanese culture that you will miss seem refreshed enough and more energetic than before. The sashimi prepared by Effil with fish caught by Serra for dinner was also very popular. I knew soy sauce was great, right? It's good to have bought it at Trage. Thanks, Tiger Next (tentative)!

Well, it's the opposite of me being mentally exhausted because of the intense battle with the protagonist of Knife Ya in my brain. Yeah, even if it's the other way around. But I ran out of protection. The joint front with Grandpa, the fool's grandpa, was hot.

Well, the next day we leave the mansion as planned and return to Delamis at the transfer gate. The original plan was to throw Knife Ya and the others into a badly outrageous dungeon and immerse them in an apostolic related investigation with only the minimal support needed, but thank God the situation doesn't allow it. No, I can't believe you let a brave man do that! Opposition such as, for example, did not come out of the Delamis side. Now Colette was happy to endorse me. You're scared of fanatics. So, there's someone here who looks like that horrible Mr. Colette.

- The orphanage kids, they were taken?

"Yeah, it's a secret story..."

It was Cardinal Cy who came to inform us. To listen to him, it was in the early morning that this case turned out. When the Sacred Knight, who was in charge of policing, visited the orphanage, he noticed something strange.

"Cliff, the captain of the regiment, was absent with hatred, and someone came to talk to my predecessor. It was always time to get busy with the children's voices, but this morning he said he was quiet... and noticed strangely that he searched the church and the orphanage and discovered Sister Mulligan, who passed out shortly after. You must have been magically stunned. Fortunately, nothing seems injured, and I'm just recovering and asking what's going on right now. I just can't see any other sisters or children, and instead something like this..."

"This is... a letter, right?"

What Cardinal Cy handed Colette was a sarcastic envelope. They said there was no destination and that Sister Mulligan had been left unmade on the table in the room where she was falling.

"Colette, what does it say?

The look on Colette's face to decipher the text is harsh. It is predictable that the situation is the only one and that no good news has been written. Just how much bad news is written down later.

"... look"

"Which -"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

- tell the witch of Delamis and his brave

I came to The Catacombs of the English Spirit. Otherwise, I will free the soul of the wretched child who believes in you with the sunset. Come when you get up. Now is the time to believe in the true God.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

This was the only sentence described. I don't know where "The Catacombs of the English Spirit" is, but it looks like those who took everyone from the orphanage are waiting there. What sucks is that Colette suggests he kills hostages every time he crosses the day if he doesn't go out? Is this a crime by the apostles of God? Though I can also take it as someone who knows Colette well while the orphanages know that she has ties to Colette.

"Witch, it's very hard..."

"I forgive you. What is it?

There was no confusion in Colette's words. I guess she's moving as a true witch right now.

"It seems that the anti-Melfina - Elearis faithful - who have been acting secretly under the water for a long time have moved this case to the trigger. We have already sent a circular to Pope Philip, but be wary of witches, not to mention in the realm. Even those who see can be enemies."

I wonder if the words of Cardinal Cy are false. As I said before, Delamis is not a rock. The remnants of an ideal that led to a conspiracy with the witch Iris when Melfina became the reincarnation god. Over the generations, those who have inherited their will still lurk inside Delamis, smoking while on the surface believing in Melfina. Even if it was less than a few percent of the entire Lynne population, that would be a great threat. Whatever, I don't know what this opportunity is going to cause.

"The Elearis faithful... ok. So, actually, how?

"Shame on you, the entrance to 'The Catacombs of the English Spirit' is occupied. Apparently he was moving to execution faster than I received a report, saying that several knights of the Holy Knights and some of the soldiers in the cathedral accidentally betrayed him and came out that way. It is at the Pope's behest that the dispute has not yet taken place, but I see no sign that we will respond to the discussion by just staring at each other. Cardinal Marcel is now responding, but how to fall......"

"You've got Cliff on your back for following me as my magical body."

Are there Elearis faithful among the soldiers and knights? Maybe it's bigger than I thought. But being in the temple means...

"Colette." The Catacombs of the English Spirit, "in the Cathedral...?

Stra asked me a question at a good time. Let's get on it, too.

"I'd like to hear it, too. Where the hell is that catacombs?

"You did. This is a good opportunity, and let me explain. I hadn't even spoken to the knives about this yet..."

Colette rose out of her chair and peered through the window at the cathedral.

"In fact, there are two dungeons in this Sacred Capital of Delamis. One was also used in the training of the swordyards who had just been summoned to this world, the" Guardian's Workout Grounds ". As its name suggests, it is a C-grade dungeon used by brave and knightly men as a place to train."

"Oh, then I know, too. It's about the tall tower you see over there. I miss you."

"Shit, now shut up"

"Ugh..."

"Sorry, Colette. You can continue."

The moment devours the old nostalgic knife, a strong elbow slap. Well, the real deal is the other one. "Guardian's Workout" is also of interest, but we'll see about that later.

"Cohon. And the second dungeon, The Catacombs of the English Spirit, is far below the ground - leading to the catacombs of 'Delamis Cathedral'. Originally created to serve the martyrs of the Great War, it was a massive cemetery of 10 layers, but it is designated a dungeon with many monsters due to overpowering resentment."

A cemetery under the cathedral... maybe it's a mechanism for magic gathering from all over town to the cathedral, not only to empower witches, but also to use that magic to purify and quell the English spirit.

"Come on, are you okay with pulling into a dungeon like that? What about that opposition?

It's a natural question from Dahak.

"Difficulties vary dramatically from hierarchy to hierarchy, so I was wondering if perhaps they are only in shallow places. One or two layers are now available as normal cemeteries by draining monsters, thanks to the dedication of the Holy Knights and clerics, and... just not the more troublesome it is to go in the back. At the deepest end of the spectrum, there is also the danger of the emergence of S-grade monsters, and above all, after the three layers, the structure is very integrated and vast. I know it's easy to understand if you can imagine a cross-sectional view like a hinge, but the ravioli are also wide at the corners. To be honest, I don't even know the exact structure after 7 layers"

"Why did you make it such a structure..."

"I hear the deepest has become the tomb of past popes and witches. I guess it was a precaution in case. Because there are many traps in the middle and beyond."

Is it like the trap you set on the pyramid to protect the king's grave? I don't think a dissident person would poke through that, but enough to have deliberately designated a place. There must be some confusion.

"Serra, Ange. Can you find any sign of the cathedral underground from here?

"Mm-hmm, neglected. Signs of Sister and the kids are in separate parts of the basement. If you're looking for more details, I'd like to be close."

'I agree. And no matter what you think, there are signs behind the dungeon.'

Apparently, some of them can break through the dungeon with a woman and a child.
