Kuro no Maou
Episode 312: Platinum Month 21 - White Light Church Orphanage (4)
It was by total coincidence that he found this place.
A backyard full of weeds with quite a lot of grounds but no care at all.
An ancient well that died decades ago in that corner - that was the entrance to the ‘cathedral’.
"Gather your followers from scratch again... well, as long as you have a guardian warrior (Guardian), it doesn't matter"
With that in his mouth, the boy priest quickly slides down the ladder he has set up for entry and exit and descends to the bottom of the ancient well.
Winding up the sand The water is gushing out is a story of the long past before the boy was born. Now there is no water and only a dry cavity spreads.
Such a dark well bottom, but the lamp in hand showed the presence of cracks that one child could manage to pass through.
The priest slipped his luxurious body into it without worrying about the pure white uniform catching on somewhat.
Beyond this lies the cavity where the groundwater originally accumulated and the space of a small rock.
Completely part of nature - but ahead of him without hesitation, there was a single door, as if it had been fitted directly into a rock wall.
If he were a veteran adventurer of rank four or higher active in Avalon, he could have quickly determined that it was a kind of door in an ancient ruin-based dungeon underground.
The elaborate relief that was dug into its doors has long been missing and weathered, but only the symbol of the cross, painted large in the centre, can still be clearly seen.
I wonder if it's not even locked in the first place, just a gentle push led the door to him indoors.
At the same time as entering the room, the ancient magic, apparently still alive in function, was activated normally and the lighting installed on the ceiling lit up the white light.
In the boy's eyes is a white room he's already used to seeing.
Would it be as large and tall as an orphanage chapel, which can be called vast to exist alone, but feels terribly oppressed by the magical equipment that exists somewhat on this occasion?
The most noticeable of these is a huge bed, no, would it be more appropriate to call it a coffin, a box containing the flesh of a guardian warrior (Guardian) over two metres tall.
The number is actually twelve, six to the left and six to the right, so as to vacate the central passage.
Two guardian warriors (Guardians) already in operation, and nine lying in metallic white coffins, will be the time to wake up more than this.
The number of coffins is twelve, but since one was already empty from the time the boy found this place, it is all eleven together.
The boy himself doesn't know the details of what the hell they are when he fell asleep for what could be called eternity.
But if only I knew they were free to exercise their overwhelming physical abilities.
"Start it up quickly and... later, reset the summons coordinates or... annoying"
Everything that needs to be done, how to do it, is assembled in the boy's head.
Breaking through the guardian warrior's (Guardian) sleeping room, the boy opened the door leading further back and moved to another room.
The next room is much smaller than it was earlier, like a seemingly sloppy wizard or a scattered lab of alchemists.
Mysterious metal parts, unknown tools, etc. are piled up in weathered ancient books, not even knowing if they are worth it.
Nor do they give a glimpse of what they are accustomed to, and the boy stands directly at the altar sitting in the center of the room, in front of the equipment he calls himself.
Black metallic plates, closely resembling the obelisks of "The Beginning of History (Zero Chronicle)", which remain in various parts of Avalon, display a white gleam of an ancient line of indecipherable characters.
You don't have to worry if you can't read it. What is important here is the pedestal portion which is situated at the bottom of the metal plate.
"Do My Will," "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" "
At the time of discovery, it was this "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" that was embedded in the center of this pedestal.
Although this in itself is a great magic instrument (artifact) with the threat of 'domination (dominate)' that manipulates others as they please, apparently the true value of this is in that it is a key item to activate and manipulate ancient altars.
You can't even know the actual details, how to operate correctly, etc., but the only reason the boy is still able to exercise this realistically is because if you remember to "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" as you telepathically send your will, the function will work almost exactly as you wish.
But if everything is remembered, it doesn't come true in an instant.
We need more than a certain amount of magic to activate Guardian Warriors, and we have to use Summon Magic to get them out of this cathedral.
Tonight's ritual was to summon the awakened Guardian to that chapel.
It is very easy to understand as a demonstration to believers.
But there is no point in summoning there at the earliest possible time than it was ruined, and now that the enemy is imminent in front of us, the place of summons would be ideal right next to the well.
If the opponent does not fall under domination (dominate), it is only dangerous for the boy himself to step forward.
However, changing the coordinates of this subpoena also takes a lot of time.
It has been made clear by previous attempts and errors that summoning magic will not work successfully if we cannot imagine more clearly and more clearly where to call.
Therefore, the boy lays his hands on "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" and even remembers it.
It is wholeheartedly a prayer to God, a figure and action similar to that of a priest in the true sense.
How much time has passed for prayer?
It was then that I finally sensibly remembered something like the affordability of success.
"Good evening, lovely lair."
Behind the door, his streamlined voice reached his ear.
I only heard it once, but I can't forget who the Lord of that voice is.
It must have been a demonic adventurer, a fairy girl wearing light.
"Phew..."
But the look on his face is not a sole floated by a very cornered person.
This is the face that mocks the prey for being trapped.
Yes, he said he was a foolish demon who came to the place surrounded by nine guardian warriors (Guardians) without having to summon him.
"Good evening, lovely lair."
Stepping into the middle of the cathedral, Lily spoke to the boy priest, who seemed to be clamping across the door.
"Well, now you know where it is."
The boy greets Lily by opening the door himself.
You finally noticed - no, that face maintains the same faceless expression as it did when you were performing rituals in front of the faithful. I mean, you still have no idea you've been cornered.
Being so sure he didn't have to put in an exploration on telepathy, Lily returns her words with a gentle grin that was more full of charity than frustrating her with "stupidity".
"Yeah, I knew it right away, 'cause it's obviously suspicious."
As a matter of fact, I was clawing from the information I pulled when I scratched around the memory of the chimpy kid who forced me to show you the way, but I don't need to bother telling you. It's the usual "Ugh, secret".
"Are you glad you didn't bring the witch?
"Because he seemed busy disposing of that nasty woman"
The boy's thin brow moves pickly. For the second time today, the reaction represents discomfort.
Even such an exposed madman had a few favors, Lily guessed at this time.
Although it is intensely irrelevant information.
"After all, I shouldn't have exchanged words with the Demons, it's a disgusting thought -"
The boy priest, who did not return faceless as it was, but with a slight expression of hatred, once again put up and ordered the "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" to be held in front of Lily.
"- Come on, wake up, Guardian Warrior!
Bashari and water noises echo the room as you respond.
The coffin is filled with clear liquid to sink a guardian warrior (Guardian), but the fact that it continues to hold its body without corrupting it makes it possible to deduce that it is not just water but a magic medicine that has a powerful preservation effect.
Lily's eyes showed nine nudes that rose well in momentum as she gave that culture a splash.
A grand man who looks good with the expression musculoskeletal, but his skin is morbidly pale, and his short cut hair is also white. And I can't feel alive from the red eyes reflecting the color of blood as it is.
No, the fact is, they're ‘dolls’, and that's obvious if you look at that face.
Because they all look the same.
The shapes are exactly the same beyond the level that the hair and colors are similar because they are the same.
The deep carved face on the high nose is handsome inside, but even creeps me out if it lines up all nine.
But Lily said who she was with the same smile on her face.
"I knew you were an artificial human being."
In response to that correct answer, the priest was not particularly surprised.
Man-made humans (homunculus), if they are about that name, are to some extent famous for what they have heard in urban areas.
It is an artificially created human being, as read and written, but its technology does not exist in modern magic (models). In other words, it is a product of over-technology in modern times, which can only be created by ancient magic.
Artificial humans (homunculus) are often discovered by adventurers in ancient ruins, the majority of which are turned into mere corpses.
However, there are few examples of artificial humans (homunculus) who have risen to the modern age over time.
And that rare real-life example was now being triggered in front of Lily.
"Is this a part of an ancient site, rather than a magician's personal lab?
"You're about to be acquitted of death without any part of it."
"That's not true, because I'm going to use it."
"Bullshit."
At the earliest possible time, just without words to exchange, the priest orders him to wave "To Heavenly Treasure Ball (Diamond Haven)" again.
The Nine Giants are already in a position to surround Lily.
Though naked and not wearing any gear, their flesh exerts the same tough power as a forged warrior. That's enough to cross with a monster with your bare hands.
The priest will already understand that the opponent Lily exercises the inherent magic (extra) of powerful light.
But the nature of it, so to speak, is as long-range attack specialisation as a sorcerer, that is, if it is a short-range fight indoors with no escape, there is a minute for a warrior type of artificial human (homunculus).
To smash Lily, a luxurious, luxurious looking fairy girl everywhere, instead of enough, he'll believe it's too much arm power.
"-Go, Guardian Warrior, give that filthy demon tribe to the Blood Festival!
Convinced of a must-win, give an attack order.
At that moment, the guardian warrior (Guardian) uses his ability to collaborate, which should be incorporated as a function from the beginning, to launch a perfect simultaneous attack -
- Sit down.
But in that one word Lily let go, the guardian warrior (Guardian) immediately crawled to the floor.
All nine bodies, at the same time when they breathed perfectly.
"... what?
The guardian warriors (Guardians) of the Gachimuchi giant are lying on one girl's back, naked.
To that overly intermittent sight, the juvenile priest also had nothing more to offer than to leak out the intermittent voices.
A guardian warrior (Guardian) in naked earth, Lily standing in the center of it with a satisfying smile, and a boy priest with an open eye and a stunned look.
In a strange situation, silence flowed for a few seconds as it was.
"Hey, what are you doing, Guardian? Listen to my orders! Kill that demon clan. Yeah!
Turning aside the mask of the no-expression taken so far, the boy orders him again with anger.
But the orders that the Nine Bodies just woke up to obey...
"Hands"
For some reason, just Lily's words.
One of the guardian warriors (Guardian) lightly overlaid Lily's palm, which she gently offered, with her own huge palm.
The other guardian warriors (Guardians) continue to maintain their naked dirt seats without wandering around, but is it because of their fulfillment that they seem to envy the hell out there doing their hand?
"Why, why, what are you doing! Why don't you ask me!! You, what have you done to my guardian warrior (Guardian)? Ahhh!!
Anger, haste, and fear and anxiety - the boy, betrayed by the ‘power’ he believed most, screams at this irrationality with half tears.
"Heh heh heh heh heh heh, haha!
Against Lily, from a smile, she finally makes a clear laugh.
Is that a mockery of him unnecessarily disturbing - no.
"Haha, shall I tell you? Heh, it's me. I know."
It's just pure joy. It's nothing more than the sense of accomplishment that led me to the answer I kept asking for.
Lily's glowing fingertips dance the void.
drawn circular magic formations, and out of them was also one circle (ring).
"How to use it."
There's no way a boy priest can tell that it's a brainwashing magic device (magic item) called "Thought Controller (Enseling)".
At first glance, I get the impression of a simple white ring, just a circlet as an ornament, and I cannot perceive the effect of the demon hidden there.
But if you look where it's actually being used, what do you think?
"No way... so with that stuff... you're manipulating my Guardian..."
"Yeah, now it's mine, Guardian."
The Awakened Guardian Warrior (Guardian) is completely naked, with no gear on - it should be, but if you look closely, it was lost in white hair and it did turn out that Lily was wearing the same ring in her hand.
In short, Lily broke into this room, and at the same time placed a 'thought controller (angeling)' in the nine-guardian warrior (Guardian) before speaking to the boy.
And when I think of it in conjunction with Lily's dialogue, I can also guess the situation where I first learned about the use of this ring at this time, or could have used it.
But it would be a harsh story to ask a boy for that much insight.
The utter desperation that the whole force you were making Ate will be taken by your enemies. What the hell does he think of this pinch, I'm sure Lily has a clue.
"Oh, wait, I..."
"Catch him."
I won't even make you say life begging words.
There are three artificial humans (homunculus) who moved out under Lily's life. Again, the movement, like that of Chrono, has a human detached agility despite the vegan state.
He gently jumped over the coffin where he slept and immediately restrained himself to show the boy his frightened look.
"Stop, help me, Mom. Huh, gu-!?"
Two of them restrain the boy from holding his arms from either side, and the other turns behind him, covering his mouth with a palm as big as a glove.
The boy restrained while standing, the restraint on both arms determined to his shoulders seems to be quite tight, leaking a groan of anguish.
The schematic of a naked giant capturing a luxurious beautiful boy is such a terrible and criminal sight that he unexpectedly twinkles his eyebrows, but the person he instructs, Lily, naturally, is not heartbroken by it.
After all, her interest is in artificial human (homunculus) performance and...
"Hehe, I'm sure you'll succeed now."
White rings, wrapped in a circle and its delicate hands.
Leaving the six bodies crawling and squatting, Lily slowly takes a step closer to the boy.
Just knowing that he didn't bother to be instructed, the one that suppresses the boy's mouth grabs the root with his other hand and sticks his head covered in natural silver hair out to Lily.
"Mm-hmm!"
Even in that state his mouth remained contained, and the boy was finally desperately groaning.
I guess I'm feeling thin about what I'm going to do.
As Lily stroked the surface of the ring with her index finger, she could see as many as seven long needles popping out of its interior making a tall noise. No, I just manipulated it in front of my eyes to show the boy who's grabbing his head and leaning down on it on purpose.
The boy's hunch turns to certainty.
"Congratulations on joining your favorite Guardian."
With a lovely smile everyone can see, Lily tells off.
On hand, the needle is stored through the ring again.
"Whoa, whoa!!
Thus, in such a way that the laurel is worn over the winner of glory, the "thought controller (angel ring)" is worn.
At that moment, he would have heard the actuating sound of Kashan in the back of his head.
"Hmm, it's complicated in a human head after all. Artificial humans (homunculus) were so easy to understand... but this..."
Lily thus begins brainwashing domination of the boy in full, so as to conclude the experience gained in previous human experiments.
Because artificial humans (homunculus) are artificially created beings, the composition of their brains was considerably simpler than that of humans.
It was via ring and telepathy, sensibly where Lily learned, but this abbreviated brain helped to unravel the complex and strange human brain structure.
Lily thought. Perhaps ancient civilization was unraveling the human brain, all the secrets there are.
That is why we were able to create an artificial brain of an artificial human (homunculus) who extracted only the parts necessary for the operation.
Yet another discovery is that the 'thought controller (angel ring)' itself has a basic structure as if it were in line with the brains of man-made humans (homunculus).
This, too, I wouldn't have noticed if I had just used it on humans before.
An organization called "The Secret of White" excavated artificial humans (homunculus) and brainwashing rings in sets from ancient ruins, based on which they did research and development and brushed them up for human brainwashing today, yes Lily guessed.
Whether that anticipation is on the line or off, we can finally get to the right answer to how to control people using the 'thought controller (angeling)' that Lily has been chasing.
After that, you just have to do it.
Then, after Lily starts the Thought Controller (Ensel Ring), it goes through a number of working hours.
Lily said away, wiping a glimmer of sweat flowing down her forehead with a small sigh of Phew.
"... I failed, heh"
