The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 595

Chapter 595

You never know where the four people are chasing will end up.

It’s clear that a nasty group is involved.

However, if there are political issues involved, it becomes even more troublesome.

If you end up interfering with the Templars while trying to investigate a case related to the undead, things might become complicated on a different level.

“By the way. I have a question… … .”

While Ellen and Louise were contemplating, Heinrich spoke up as if he had a question.

“What?”

“Could it be true that the ashes really became undead?”

Louise slowly nodded at Heinrich’s question.

“There was nothing we could confirm. Even the paladins don’t seem to be convinced of that part.”

The possibility that the remains were undead. That, too, was only guessed from the destruction of the coffin, and strictly speaking, it did not confirm the undead.

It’s just that it’s very likely that it happened.

At Heinrich’s questioning, Ellen, Ludwig, and Louise also look at Heinrich.

Heinrich began to sweat at that gaze.

“I wondered if it would be that easy to make undead… … .”

“hmm… … ?”

At those words, Louise tilted her head.

“Didn’t they say that those buried in the cemetery were saints?”

“It did. The remains of those who made many achievements in their lives must have been buried there.”

“The tomb of the previous commander of the Knights Templar was also there.”

It was Louise and Ellen’s answer. When Heinrich heard that, he pursed his lips with a serious expression as if choosing what to say.

“In the first place, the ashes become undead… … . I don’t quite understand… … .”

Became undead.

The reasoning itself is reasonable, but Heinrich was thinking of the fundamental part in the first place.

They were the remains of priests and paladins who must have made great achievements in their lifetime and must have had great divine power in their lifetime.

Is it possible for them to become undead and be resurrected in the first place?

“well… … . I don’t know much about evil secret arts or black magic like the undead. And, it must be something in a field unknown even to wizards who walk the right path. So I don’t know if the divine power that the lions had while they were alive will protect their remains after they die.”

“I do not know either.”

Not an ordinary undead, but an undead made from the remains of saints. Is that possible?

Is it even possible to create so many undead in a short period of time?

Ellen keeps thinking of Tiamata in her mind.

Tiamata once appeared in the form of a cursed sword. And he created a huge amount of undead.

‘no… … . It won’t be. Not Reinhardt… … .’

Ellen was convinced that Reinhardt was not the culprit under the circumstances.

In the end, that is Heinrich’s question.

Does it make sense to create the undead from the remains of saints in the first place?

“Let’s ask.”

Unexpectedly, the answer came from Ludwig’s mouth.

“Anna would at least know better than we do.”

A wizard with a talent for black magic.

Anna de Guerna.

At those words, both Ellen and Heinrich nodded.

* * *

There is no guarantee that black magic was used in the grave robbery of the saints. There is a good chance that the priests of the Demonic Church, a force other than magic, were involved.

They are two different powers.

But in the end, there may be something in common in that they can produce similar results.

It was impossible to find a priest of the Demonic Church right now, so Ludwig’s request to find Anna and ask him was something worth trying.

“It won’t be in the dormitory. They come back once every few days, go out the very next day, and don’t come back for another few days.”

“Where are you? Let’s go ask.”

Ellen’s idea was that she was sure to be at the temple anyway, so all she had to do was go and ask.

“uh? I’m fine with that… … .”

Of course, Ludwig didn’t know where the three were studying magic.

Naturally, the gazes of Louise and Heinrich met each other.

“University of Magic.”

Around this morning, the two of them were taking a walk around the Temple and were about to confirm that something was being researched at the Magic College.

“I’m not sure, but I think it’s probably there.”

Those were Heinrich’s words, and Louise narrowed her brows.

“I don’t know if they will let you in… … .”

After confirming that the security was tight, Louise seemed to be at a loss.

However, now they are with Ellen Artorius, who can penetrate anywhere in the world.

So there was nothing I couldn’t get into.

* * *

Of course, that was an illusion.

“You cannot enter.”

Those were the words of a guard who blocked Ellen’s way as she entered the grounds of the Temple Magic University Research Building.

It wasn’t that the people in the back were trying to enter, it was what Ellen heard herself when she tried to enter.

“… … why?”

“There was a strict order from His Majesty the Emperor not to allow entry of anyone other than those related to research.”

Ellen is blocked, so it means that Ellen is included in the saying that no one is allowed to enter.

Ellen quietly looks into the eyes of the guard inside the helmet.

What kind of secret research was going on, so he couldn’t let himself go in?

Ellen would have broken through the door of the Knights Templar.

However, it was important that it was an order from the ‘Emperor’.

Emperor Bertus is someone who falls within the category of friends to Ellen.

A friend who shares a secret that others should not know about, and who shares the responsibility for the Gate incident.

A relationship that can’t be expressed in words other than friends, even though we share the traces of guilt and sadness with each other.

If that friend even forbids himself, there must be a reason.

Ellen accepts it that way.

“You don’t have to go in. All I need to know is that there is a classmate of mine named Anna de Guerna in that lab who is involved in the research. And if possible, if you can call me.”

“I can’t say anything about the part related to the research.”

Even who is participating in the study is confidential. I couldn’t figure out what the hell they were doing to be so secure.

“However, I can report to the superiors that the hero has come for this kind of business.”

Ellen wasn’t really curious about what research was going on inside anyway.

I’m researching something useful for war, and I just think it’s strictly confidential because it could be misused by someone.

Because good is good Ellen had no intention of feeling sorry for her, and she had no intention of squeezing in.

The research going on here won’t have anything to do with the current case.

“That’s it. Can you tell me that?”

“all right.”

Anna might be here, but if not, you just have to wait until you return to the Royal Class dormitory.

Because Anna comes back every few days.

* * *

The guard told them to go back because they couldn’t report right away, so the group had no choice but to return to the temple dormitory.

I don’t know why, but the emperor ordered that no one else, not even Ellen, enter the magic university.

Royal class 2nd year, B class dormitory lobby.

Everyone sat together and drank a cup of tea Heinrich brought, taking a breather.

I had been walking around outside in the snow so far, so I didn’t suffer physically, but I couldn’t help but be mentally fatigued.

“I don’t know what it is, but it seems like an experiment where confidentiality is very important.”

“Iknow, right.”

At Louise’s words, Ellen quietly nodded.

Everyone in this room was curious about the research going on at the Magic University, but they didn’t have any more doubts.

It’s because of prejudice.

“Coming to think of it, it was odd that Project Titan went on without secrecy. That’s why the Wizards Guild and Wizards of the Mage Tower bother the Archduke Saint-Ouan quite a bit.”

“Are you bothering me?”

At Ellen’s question, Louise shrugged.

“Wizards are a people who can’t be bothered when it comes to new magic or technology. And for those who have been involved in magic all their lives, Titan is… … . Isn’t it inevitable to be shocked just by looking at it?”

“surely… … .”

“yes… … . It was. clearly.”

Heinrich and Ludwig also felt the thrill of imagining the overwhelming majesty of the Titan even now when it was not in front of their eyes.

At the Battle of Serandia, the appearance of the Titans was so huge and overwhelming that it could be seen anywhere on the battlefield.

“The high-ranking officials and wizards usually knew that such things were being created, but seeing them with your own eyes is a completely different matter. It was to the point where I felt absurd that something like that could be possible with magic.”

Titan is a war weapon made of magic, but everyone in front of it felt as if they had seen an incarnation of a god or some kind of manifestation.

“So it’s only natural that the Archduke of Saint-Ouan, who was the main pillar of the project, would suffer from wizards. and… … . Maybe it’s just the Grand Duke.”

Adelia from Class A.

A grand duke is a grand duke, but Adelia is a student from the royal class.

Heinrich muttered blankly.

“Adelia must be going through a lot of hardships too.”

“It has to be.”

Project Titan isn’t exactly classified, but it hasn’t revealed all of its technology. So, it was inevitable that the wizards would bother the Archduke and Adelia, whether because they were curious or coveted the knowledge.

Wizards flocking to her like dogs and asking questions about this and that, and Adelia, due to her personality, would not be able to cut them off.

Heinrich couldn’t help but be very worried about Adelia’s mental state when he thought about the scene.

Adelia is a celestial researcher. She doesn’t fit Young Adelia’s temperament and isn’t good at fighting herself.

Of course, Adelia did not fight directly, but due to her completion of Titan, in some way she will be remembered as the wizard who killed the most monsters in the world.

Magic research is usually classified.

Because of the preconceived notion that this was the case, no one particularly suspected it. Of course, everyone wondered why Ellen wasn’t even allowed to enter the research building.

“When will Anna be back?”

Everyone couldn’t be convinced by Ludwig’s question.

In the end, the guards didn’t even say whether Anna was at the magic university. She only decided to pass on the word that Ellen had been looking for her.

Asking Anna about the black magic of turning into the undead doesn’t give a sharp answer to this situation. I was just trying to ask whether or not it would be easy to create undead with the remains of saints.

In the end, it’s true that I’m nervous about this and that, but I don’t think I’m going to have a good time.

You can request an interview with the Popes of the Five Major Churches, but that is a very sensitive issue, so you need to think about it a bit more.

If the Demonic Spirit in the refugee camp is also involved in the search operation, there is no promise.

Rowen did not move alone, but he must have scattered numerous inquisitors throughout the refugee camp and synthesized the information.

It is unknown if Rowen has ever come in contact with the identity of the culprits.

It is to follow the case that Rowen was chasing, and the manpower available is even less.

Whether or not we will be able to reach the end of this before the winter is over is unknown.

So there is no point in rushing today.

“Let’s do this for today.”

So, Ellen suggested that we take a break after organizing what we found out today.

“Ludwig, when Anna comes back, you ask the questions we were going to ask and let us know… … . No, just call me.”

Ellen corrected herself, realizing that it would be better for her to ask herself than to leave it to Ludwig.

“yea, I got it.”

Ludwig nodded with a firm expression.

“I don’t think we need to move too fast. Even if you don’t know who the people who killed Rowen are, if you know we’re after them… … .”

Louise looked at everyone with a hard expression and said.

“We must keep in mind that there is a possibility that they will try to use their hands on us.”

They are the ones who killed Rowen.

I don’t know if they’ll even touch the hero, but I couldn’t say there wasn’t a chance they’d do what they did to Rowen if they knew they were already pursuing them.

Heinrich, Ludwig, Ellen too.

I didn’t know that pursuing this job was a job that required considerable risk.

“I feel like I dragged myself into something… … .”

I didn’t think this was a simple task.

But when he asked Ellen for help, Ludwig naturally couldn’t imagine that this was such a big deal.

Ludwig felt goosebumps all over at the thought that Ellen might be in danger because of him.

Also, I feel like I’m causing an irreversible nuisance.

“no.”

Ellen shook her head at Ludwig’s self-reproach.

“At this point, it’s something we can’t leave alone like this.”

Rather, Ellen adds, it would be better for people if they could take action before whatever happens.

It’s not something I said to comfort you.

I really thought so, so I just said that.
