Part 2 Episode 38
inspector general
‘It’s probably a bluff.’
Black clenched his fists.
Since he lost Chens, Elric couldn’t have another hand.
And I could tell just by looking around.
that public opinion is on their side.
The hearing room showed no signs of calming down due to Black’s question about whether the Empire’s Duke had colluded with the revolutionary army.
Even though the chairman raised his voice and tried to appease them, it had no effect.
That’s why Black’s words were so unconventional.
People were whispering to each other and chatting, and reporters’ pens were faster than ever.
Sensing that they had an advantage, the Lion House and the Inspection Bureau glared at the people at the Magic Tower with sharp eyes.
Because of this, they were in a chaotic mood.
If they made a mistake, they could have become involved with Elric.
However, Elric and Guy are the only ones who look calm.
Some of the people on the Magic Tower side asked Guy quietly with puzzled expressions.
“What on earth is this talking about? “You colluded with the revolutionary army!”
“You didn’t say anything like that!”
However, despite their annoyance, Guy just put his finger to his mouth as if it was no big deal.
They all had their own thoughts, so they told us to be quiet.
At the same time, the momentum is flowing out implicitly.
“… !”
“… !”
“Keuhum!”
“If that’s what Guy says… Hum hum!”
“It’s what the Neresta matriarch says, so there must be a reason.”
Each of the wizards cleared their throats and adjusted their posture.
No matter how chaotic it was, it was a testament to how much Guy always took control of the Magic Tower.
‘Whoa…’ What on earth was your father thinking? .’
Seeing that scene, Sean couldn’t help but sigh a little.
For some reason, it seemed like my father was becoming more and more like Elric.
It’s funny to see something that normally would have been a good thing to do, but to have it break my spirit like that.
Still, Sean was worried.
‘But really… ‘What are you going to do now?’
It was already expected that Elric and the revolutionary army would be connected over there.
Because of that, it seemed like Elric was talking to his father, Guy, separately.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust his friend, but Sean just feels uneasy because he doesn’t know what the conclusion will be.
It was then that Black spoke up again.
“Please tell me quickly. “Why on earth are you trying to stop me?”
Before I knew it, the anxiety I had seen on his face had completely disappeared.
He considered Elric’s silence as his victory.
but.
In fact, the reason Elric stayed quiet all this time was to wait for ‘news’.
And that ‘news’.
『You’re here.』
It was now.
Wow!
That was when Black tried to urge Elric once again.
I frowned at the sight of Elric suddenly clapping.
“You don’t answer, but what are you doing…” ?”
Quack!
At that moment, there was a sudden big explosion and something fell from the ceiling next to Black.
“Aaaah!”
“W-what is it?”
Is it because there was news of Chen’s death before? Everyone in the audience, including the lawmakers, jumped up from their seats in shock.
Their eyes were drawn to Black’s side.
Then I got bored.
A being with strange horns and bat-like wings.
It was a demon.
“Huh! Well, that is… !”
“It’s a demon!”
“How on earth are demons here?”
The hearing hall quickly became chaos.
Both the wizard and the knight jumped up in surprise, each holding their sword or preparing to cast magic right away.
The only ones standing still are Guy and the Golden Lion.
When Elric woke up, he was approaching the demon with a relaxed expression.
“what… ?”
“Agree! “Do you know how this happened?”

People looked at Elric in surprise.
Elric waved his hand as if to calm people down.
“Everyone, it’s okay. are you okay.”
Then he pointed to the fallen demon.
“As you can see, it is not a particularly threatening situation. And since I’m here, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
The devil was clearly unconscious, tied tightly to the rope.
Moreover, only after learning that the runes written on the restraint sphere were magical bindings did people heave a sigh of relief.
And above all, the strongest men of the empire, such as Golden Lion and Guy, were located here.
If it’s a dangerous situation, they will take the initiative.
Still, they couldn’t help but feel shocked, so people could barely take their eyes off the demons even as they sat down.
Many of them are from the generation that actually experienced the Great War when they were young.
Moreover, considering the recent conflict in Azazel, it was not an issue that could be easily overlooked.
Meanwhile.
Although no one was noticing, Black’s pupils were shaking violently.
‘Oh, no! How on earth… !’
He had already realized the identity of the demon as soon as he appeared.
Deputy Director Avon under his command. He activated the seal and attempted to turn it into a demon.
‘If we continue like this, we will all die.’
The Inspector General’s collusion with the devil had to be hidden.
“Sigh!”
Black quickly threw the pen he was holding towards Avon.
Without anyone knowing. Very secretly.
Love love-
but.
Cheaeng!
The assassination ended in an attempt due to a dagger flying from nowhere.
‘shit!’
Black cursed under his breath.
‘What kind of guy!’
Just as I was thinking that, a man came down from the open ceiling and quietly stood on the table.
“You, you!”
“You’re using a trick that doesn’t amount to anything.”
The man who laughed at Black was wearing a wooden mask.
Nameless.
Black’s fingertips trembled as he recognized him.
* * *
“That person, no way!”
“Oh, isn’t that right?”
“Namu mask… Secret presence… That’s right, it’s him! Nameless!”
“Weren’t you taken to the East? Why here… !”
Namu-mask assassin, Nameless.
The nobles and reporters who recognized him frowned and trembled.
It was because I remembered what a terrible and famous assassin Nameless was.
There is even a saying that if you get caught by him, it would be better to commit suicide.
In the past, there was even a time when he came into the presence of the 4th Prince Cromhel and attempted to kill him.
Since he is an assassin who doesn’t even care about people in the imperial family, he is bound to be even more concerned.
But more than anything else, there was only one question left in the minds of the people here.
Why did he, who was said to never appear in broad daylight, appear here?
Even while subduing the demons.
and.
It didn’t take long for the question to be answered.
“Sir, I will report to you.”
This is because Nameless walked in front of Elric and bowed his head.
Elric nodded as he casually received Nameless’ report.
Everyone gaped at that sight.
‘Wasn’t it just a rumor that it belonged to the East? !’
‘From the blue lion and the red lion to Nameless… . ‘How much power does Mervinger have now?’
‘Considering that the barbarians are also under his command. her! ‘This is ridiculous.’
Only then could people feel it clearly.
That the Mervingers can no longer be considered a simple fallen family.
“This person is the culprit who killed Chens, who was a witness and reference. This is the crime weapon used in the murder. I should have kept it properly… “I’m sorry for not paying enough attention.”
Nameless politely handed over the sword in one hand.
Elric, who received this, could see it. Someone’s dried blood stains on the sword.
“What is this person’s identity?”
“First Bureau of Inspection.”
Nameless’s words were very quiet, but strangely enough, each word was so clearly pierced in people’s ears.
Under the tree mask. Nameless’ eyes turned to Black.
He was clearly laughing at Black.
“This is Deputy Director Abern.”
“… !”
“… !”
“What are you talking about, Duke Chan-seong!”
“Deputy Director of Bureau 1! “Then you’re not a servant of Lord Black over there!”
“What Duke Chan-sung is saying now is that there are demons hiding in the Inspection Bureau?”
The conference hall has already become even more devastated than when the demons first appeared.
“This is a frame-up!”
Black shouted urgently with a pale face.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on that.
“There is no one like that in our first country… !”
“Whether or not this person is Abun is a fact that can be quickly found out if you investigate. “The forensics team will be able to confirm whether the blood stains on this dagger belong to the dead Chens.”
Roaring Roaring-
Black felt like his insides were burning.
The atmosphere has already shifted towards Elric.
In fact, if an investigation was conducted at Elric’s request, not only did the Bureau of Investigation attempt to eliminate witnesses, but the fact that it had colluded with demons could be revealed to the world.
No, even before that, people were already busy gossiping about something while looking at Black with suspicion.
He clearly realized that Elric’s words were the truth.
If this happens, the story of Elric joining the revolutionary army will be buried without a sound or rumor, and only the news of the collusion between the Inspection Bureau and the demons will spread further.
‘We have to catch it! Somehow!’
Black intended to hold on.
I wondered if that was really possible, but I still had to do it somehow.
Otherwise, not only himself but the entire inspection department was at risk.
“Mervinger!”
Black glared at Elric with an expression full of anger.
“Why are you trying to frame us?”
“What does that mean?”
“You captured a demon from somewhere and then used force? Do we look that funny?”
“okay?”
Elric continued talking while fiddling with his sword.
“Then wouldn’t it be okay to use the Bloodstain Devouring Scroll to compare the bloodstains on this knife with the bloodstains of the witness?”
“refuse! If it’s you guys, they’ll definitely bring fabricated evidence! “Unbelievable!”
Nameless, who was quietly listening to his words, spoke to Elric.
“My lord. “The culprit came from the Inspection Bureau, and there is a video recording of him secretly assassinating a witness.”
The red lion who came with him secretly filmed it.
Nameless took out the video sphere from his arms and tried to play it.
Then, Avon’s face is revealed. He apparently murdered Chens and was attempting to escape through the window.
The screen soon moved on to the next scene.
Confrontation between Nameless and Arvan. There, Avon was activating seals one after another and transforming them into demons.
It was very clear evidence.
“… .”
“… .”
“… .”
Regardless of whether it was the chairperson or the audience, everyone was shocked and speechless.
Sigh!
“What should I do in this situation?”
Black had to feel like the world was spinning for a moment due to Elric’s ridicule.
‘Well, as it is… !“
A desperate situation where you can no longer withdraw or withdraw.
Black couldn’t say anything and just bit his lip.
This is because I could not think of any way to escape the current situation.
He looked at Cromhel’s direction as if grasping at straws.
but.
“… !”
However, it has been a long time since Cromhel also turned away as if he did not want to see it.
The golden lion next to him didn’t seem to want to worry about it any more.
That moment.
Black’s expression, which had maintained a minimum of coolness during this time, completely collapsed.
