Chapter 442
There is a saying that avoids people because they are dirty, not because they are afraid.
But Olivia Ranze was a dirty and fearful being.
If you want to go to war, if you point a knife at Olivia Ranze, who pushes in, a war will break out at that moment.
No one wanted to be the starting point of a war that could split the continent in two. Except for Olivia Ranze.
Eventually, Olivia led the Templars beyond the Temple Gate and arrived in front of the temporary camp building where Reinhardt was being held.
The Knights and Wizards of Shanafell camped there, as well as the Temple’s forces, were preventing Olivia from taking a single step closer.
Empire shouldn’t have told Olivia anything.
Trying to keep an eye on Olivia, not knowing whether or not she was on the side of the demon king, was the best option in that situation, but now it was the worst option and returning to the Empire.
Olivia, who had driven the paladins, was in the lead, looking at Bertus who was blocking her.
Behind Bertus are Shanafell and the Imperial Magicians.
Behind Olivia were the Paladins of the Templar Order.
“Move.”
“I can’t do that, old man.”
Mixed with irritation and anger, Bertus, who was about to cross the critical point, was still looking at Olivia.
“We have the authority over the Demon King’s personal affairs. hand it over.”
Bertus gritted his teeth at Olivia’s natural request.
The idiot goes overboard and comes out recklessly.
I don’t need to convince you that your actions will divide the continent and cause humanity to self-destruct.
On the outside, he would give a reason, but on the inside, it’s clear that he’s thinking something like that.
“Empire is the mouthpiece of humanity. Therefore, it is right for the imperial family to decide on the disposition of the demon king, the enemy of mankind.”
At Bertus’ words, Olivia smiled.
“Humans are God’s creations. The right to represent mankind may be in the empire. However, isn’t it natural that the Knights Templar and the Main Church of the Five Greats, which represent the will of the gods, have authority one level higher than you? universal will of mankind. Yes, I do a lot of stool.”
Olivia raised the corners of her mouth.
“I represent the will of God.”
Since the creator of mankind is God, the will of the gods is higher than the will of man. The will of the gods is more right. And as Tuan’s chosen champion, I represent the will of the gods.
To be against me is to be against God.
Olivia was honestly pushing the terrible logic that occurs when the champion of the gods uses their authority violently.
As Elerith once said to Reinhardt.
The holy relic itself is a powerful object, but it has a higher political use.
Olivia Ranze was carrying out exactly what she said.
Not only Bertus, but also the knights and wizards of the Empire, are fed up with Olivia’s attitude.
What is the difference between this and madness?
Can a champion chosen by God be so reckless?
Why was a person who commits this level of violence chosen by God?
Those not close to God begin to doubt God’s intentions.
However, the Paladins, who are equally tired, begin to think differently about Olivia’s behavior and words at that level.
Paladins are those close to God.
God is right.
So the champions, the owners of divinely chosen relics, are right a second time.
The fact that Olivia Ranze, who was chosen by Tuan, behaves like this means that God is in a situation where she has to show such extreme will.
Actions so intense that the champion appears to be violent, rowdy, or even slightly maddened.
It’s not because the champion is crazy.
Because God wants that kind of action.
Everything in the world is arranged by God.
Champions represent the will of the gods.
So Olivia’s violence is the more violent it is, the more blind it is, the more violent it is.
The conclusion follows that God wants extreme action.
For those not close to God, he is a champion who has fallen into madness.
However, the more the Paladins see Olivia’s tyrannical behavior, the more extreme it is, the more they realize that God is supporting this extreme.
That’s why the atmosphere of the Paladins was also terrified that a continental war might break out for a while.
Realizing that there is no choice but to support Olivia Ranze’s actions, which can only be absolute good, and realize that it is God’s will.
Gradually, the eyes begin to gain strength.
faith, and faith.
It evokes conclusions and actions that are different from the universal.
“We are right in discussing the demon lord’s recruits. Is there any basis in the empire to deny this?”
As Olivia’s words continue, the paladins begin to show more and more vicious spirit.
We are right because the champion is with us.
Even if he dies on the spot, even if it leads to war, it is God’s will.
If you die on this spot, you will die very close to God’s will.
How could this not be an honor?
“It was the Empire that confirmed and secured the identity of the Demon King. The Templars are trying to steal the Empire’s achievements.”
At Bertus’ words, Olivia tilted her head.
“Yeah, thank you for doing the hard work. In order to commend you for your hard work, the Five Great Main Religion intends to pay due respect to the Empire and pray for the blessings of the gods.”
It’s sophistry, but under the name of God, everything becomes correct.
Even if you are told to see white as black, if that is the word of God, you must do so.
Eyes that can’t do that become wrong.
You said to see black, but why do your eyes see white?

It is God who can say such things.
Champions are their mouthpieces.
“Congratulations is congratulations, duty is duty. I’m here to do my duty, not my right. The duty of determining whether the demon king is truly noble or not.”
Bertus gritted his teeth.
There are many things that can be said.
If you share Tiamata with the demon lord, aren’t you doing this to protect the demon lord?
Aren’t you already innocent at the point of sharing your soul with the demon lord?
Haven’t you ever been saved by the devil?
Aren’t you the enemy of mankind?
But all those words are destined to cause great conflict.
To say that Tuan’s champion is not virtuous is already grave blasphemy.
Doubting Olivia Ranze’s intentions is, in effect, doubting God’s will.
Of course, the empire is strong.
So, you can doubt God’s will.
Even if God is an absolute proposition, that’s enough if you say you don’t agree with it.
It can be argued that the gods are transcendent and lend power to the world at the same time, but they do not even give the right to represent their absolute will to those who wield that power.
No matter how strong the Knights Templar and the Five Great Religions are, if the Empire sets its mind to it, it is one of the things that it can do.
However, religion itself is a pivot, so if the empire tears it apart, the empire will already lose the grand proposition of embracing all mankind.
The Empire can obliterate the Five Great Cults and the Knights Templar, but if it does, the Empire will collapse.
An empire was established with the banner of bringing together numerous races, numerous cultures, and numerous beliefs to resist the demons.
For such an empire to exterminate such a large group inevitably leads to a situation in which the empire loses its legitimacy.
Bertus has a lot to think about.
There are many things to keep.
Empire, Imperial Family, Humanity.
We must speak and act to protect the oversized.
But Olivia wants only one thing.
Reinhardt.
That’s why he didn’t think about the future and threw everything in order to save Reinhardt now.
“I said Vicky.”
As Olivia took a step, the paladins behind her also took a step with an intimidating force.
Chanafell, the Imperial Magicians, and Bertus did not back down.
However, if that step continues, a collision will occur.
It was an immediate situation.
If the demon king is handed over to Olivia instead of war, the outcome is obvious.
Olivia will develop the logic that since the demon king was chosen as a sacred object, the five main priests should also support him.
It is not known what outcome this move will lead to.
War is always the worst option. It is even worse if it is a war between mankind.
You have to stop this moment.
I need to stop that crazy asshole.
“How about having a little talk with the demon king?”
“… … what?”
“You are well aware that the demand for extradition is absurd. We have no intention of denying the cause of the Templars.”
First of all, in this situation where a collision is imminent, we must somehow put the brakes on.
If a word or demeanor is wrong, a war might break out.
throw a bait
“Let’s talk with the Demon King for a while, and let’s talk in a calmer state.”
“… … .”
Olivia looks at Bertus quietly.
Olivia doesn’t know that war is the worst option.
And Olivia didn’t think it would be possible to take over a new recruit right now.
Olivia came to practically deliver the warning that if you carelessly decide how to treat the demon king, you know that a terrible incident will happen.
It was to make the Empire hesitate to execute Reinhardt right now.
And in the long run, I was going to think of another way to save Reinhardt.
I’ll let you meet Reinhardt.
So step away for now.
“good.”
Olivia accepted the offer.
“Let me guide you.”
Of course, not all paladins could enter, so only Olivia, the representative, had no choice but to go inside.
As if she had no intention of reaching that far, Olivia entered the prison building under the guidance of the Chanafell knights.
First of all, it took time.
Confirming that Olivia had moved away, Bertus approached one of the knights.
Olivia’s justification.
relic.
An existence that cannot be denied because it was chosen by the Holy Relic.
The Demon King and Olivia Ranze.
and one more.
A person whose existence itself is a justification.
Even compared to Olivia Ranze, she is a person with a stronger cause.
“Bring Ellen Artorius, right now.”
We need Ellen Artorius.
* * *
Temporary dungeon.
Olivia was guided by Chanapell’s knights and was able to descend to the dungeon where Reinhardt was imprisoned.
As soon as I arrived, I felt only one thing.
‘It’s impossible to escape by force.’
Outside troops are also a problem, but inside the dungeon, there are many people who have crossed the borders of superhumans.
In order to prepare for an emergency, the grand master, Saviolin Tana, was resident, and numerous sword masters, as well as a number of great wizards, were resident.
The key manager, Saviolin Tana, was living here most of the time without even shifting.
“… … I thought there was a commotion.”
Seeing Olivia’s hard expression, Saviolin Tana bit her lip.
“I got permission from the prince.”
As if she had heard about the general situation, Tana narrowed her eyebrows and moved out of the way.
Only then, Olivia could see Reinhardt hanging out in chains.
He was gagged and his eyes were open.
Olivia approached Reinhardt with clenched fists and knelt down.
To Reinhardt, who had watched over and protected him for so long, now in such a miserable state.
to his own demon king.
Olivia used her divine power to heal Reinhardt, who was in a state of disrepair.
“Reinhardt… … .”
While treating Reinhardt, Olivia was in tears.
Unfocused pupils move, and only then stare at Olivia. Her cloudy eyes still didn’t return, but she recognized Olivia.
“My sister… … . You have an older sister… … .”
“… … .”
“Must, definitely… … . I will save you.”
Olivia said that and gently hugged Reinhardt, who was tied up.
After a brief hug, Olivia put her hand on the gag in Reinhardt’s mouth.
-Sureung!
“I inherited it for a reason. Don’t touch it.”
Saviolin Tana pointed her sword at Olivia’s neck.
“If you want to kill me, kill me.”
If I can’t even talk to Reinhardt, who has become such a miserable situation, I’d rather die.
Olivia took off Reinhardt’s gag, not even paying attention to the fact that Saviolin Tana’s sword was touching her neck.
– Took
Reinhardt, although Olivia had recovered, was still drooping, as if his energy had declined, and his eyes were unfocused.
Saviolin Tana couldn’t cut Olivia in the end.
“Reinhardt, you are not wrong. yes? you… … . You didn’t do anything wrong. We’ll hold a meeting of the Five Major Churches and prove that you weren’t bad at all. therefore… … .”
“sister… … .”
Reinhardt calls out to Olivia with a cracked, cracked voice.
It was the first time Reinhardt had called her that way, so Olivia watched Reinhardt with her eyes wide open.
“don’t do it… … .”
“… … huh?”
“That… … . don’t do it… … .”
Reinhardt raised his head with difficulty and spoke quietly with unfocused eyes.
“sister… … . then die… … .”
that word.
Even if it’s like this, worry about yourself, and don’t do dangerous things.
“I was able to save him… … . While doing something stupid… … . do not die… … .”
that word.
“It’s a waste… … . how… … . I saved… … .”
“Ugh… … .”
It made Olivia shed tears in the end.
Even when he was almost in a state of bewilderment, the horse that worried about Olivia, not himself, Olivia couldn’t bear the sight of Reinhardt like that.
“this… … . Do you think you guys are evil demon lords?”
Tears pouring down Olivia, she looks at Saviolin Tana, who is aiming a sword at her throat.
“Really Reinhardt… … . Do you think it’s evil?”
“Even in this situation, even if the person who worries about me is the Demon King… … . You can’t be evil… … . It can’t be… … .”
“Reinhardt must have had circumstances too… … .”
“Everything Reinhardt has done up until now must have had a reason. Maybe it was… … . At least once… … . you have to listen… … .”
“Why?”
“Why did you have to do that?”
“You can hear it… … .”
“Just for the reason of being the Demon King, just for being suspicious, tying him up like an animal, and even putting him in a gag, and then doing this… … . that’s right? Apart from the will of the gods… … . Leaving all that… … .”
“You are so cruel… … .”
The tip of Saviolin Tana’s sword, which was aimed at the sobbing Olivia, was shaking.
the demon king
really evil
Even in this situation, the one who said that Olivia he saved might be in danger, so don’t try to save me.
Can you really be evil?
Could this even be a lie?
“No doubts, no circumstances, all of that aside. What kind of damage did Reinhardt do, what did he do… … .”
The demon king’s first raid was to rescue demon prisoners being sold as slaves.
The Demon King could do that.
The attack of the Knights Templar was to rescue Olivia Ranze, who was close to her.
Reinhardt could do that.
The last raid was a self-made play by the Empire.
The devil did not do that.
Saviolin Tana was ordered by the Empire to do this.
The demon king… … .
is it evil
Saviolin Tana looked at the sobbing Olivia Ranze and Reinhardt, biting her lip and putting the sword into the scabbard.
what is the truth
Where is the truth and where is the lie?
It was like she was going crazy because she wanted to know.
Everyone wanted to believe that Reinhardt wasn’t bad.
However, let’s assume that the demon king does not hate mankind.
‘why?’
There is only reason to hate, so why?
Because they can’t understand that part, people feel betrayed by the demon king.
but.
“A little about what Reinhardt said… … . Anything… … . listen… … . please… … . trust me… … . Trust Reinhardt… … .”
Only Olivia Rancher, who has only blind trust and love for the Demon King.
Only Olivia Rancher, who has received decisive help from the Demon King over and over again.
He sobbed pitifully, saying that he should trust Reinhardt in this situation.
