The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 605

Chapter 605

I got used to people who don’t know me hating me and hating me. Because I thought it was unavoidable.

But this time it’s the exact opposite.

Those who did not know me worshiped and loved me. Even within the Five Major Churches.

Just as Ellen is admired as a hero, they think that I am the rightful champion of Ars and Tuan, although I am not recognized by the world.

There were quite a few people who saw me give my final defense.

Among them, those who belonged to the Order of the Five Great Masters were high-ranking priests and paladins of the Order, and they knew that this gate incident was caused by my men, but apart from that, they knew that I did not want this.

That’s why it was inevitable that there would be people who secretly supported me inside the church.

Rowen was a radical among them.

In the first place, if there are radicals, there are also moderates.

If the side that the demon king had circumstances was the moderate.

The radical would be the one who said that the demon king was absolutely right.

That presupposes that both of them support me in the first place.

If so, does that mean that the majority of high-ranking people will support me from some point on?

The popes didn’t betray humanity, they just acted in line with the trend?

Even Ileion Boelton, who was busy with battlefield work, had already said enough to say that he was not too unfamiliar with this.

The Five Great Main Churches were just waiting for me to appear, and at some point they actually became my supporters.

“The radicals claim . . . … . What?”

“The cause of all this is not you, but the Empire and mankind.”

those who didn’t believe me.

Assuming that I am not at fault, is this an argument that everyone who did not believe in me is to blame?

“Some of them, the Empire wishes to collapse.”

Ultimately, this is the same.

hold someone accountable

It’s just that I’m not the target.

Rowen was my confidant.

And he was a man who hated the Empire.

Such a person was trying to investigate the injustice of the empire, but the commander of the Knights Templar put the brakes on him, and even tried to kill him.

“Rowen would have hated me for not even revealing the injustice beyond the Empire… … .”

fire.

I was going to show that sight to someone.

It was intended to be seen by an unspecified number of people.

“Now I must have come to hate and distrust the Church as well as myself.”

The Radicals are those who believe that not only the Empire is responsible, but humanity as well.

That would mean that the Five Major Churches can never be clean. Paladins and priests, as well as the popes, would have been there.

Even so, what if the scene of killing and torturing civilians in the temple of the Tuan Church, which has a bad perception, was revealed to the world?

Even so, the vicious public sentiment would have gone mad.

And the Empire would not have been silent.

Without people, there would be no empire, so the empire would have had to thrust its sword into the Five Great Main Orders.

“If a civil war almost broke out in the ecliptic… … . Is this too much interpretation?”

At my words, Ileion Boelton nodded.

“I can’t say that, but it could have been.”

In the first place, Rowen went beyond investigating this case and was basically an empire-responsible theorist who believed that the empire was responsible for everything.

Illion Bolton must have judged Rowen dangerous and tried to get rid of him. Rowen was a man who wanted to bring down the Empire if he had the chance.

That’s why it would have been the best thing for the commander of the Knights Templar to purify Rowen. If left alone, the conflict between the main church and the empire could have turned into actual bloodshed. Rowen is a man who, when there is a bomb, he wants to detonate it rather than avoid it, so it’s not that Ileion Bolton’s decision doesn’t make sense.

If you leave Rowen alone, he will do dangerous things.

That’s why he tried to use his hands, but because he failed, Rowen would have become a more dangerous person.

It’s strange to want Rowen to be sane, when the Order he’s been loyal to all his life is about to slit his throat.

That’s probably what Ileion Bolton’s “I need you” means.

Rowen thinks of me as a prophet, so when I meet Rowen, everything will be alright.

We need to find Rowen.

In the name of being for me, before I try to do something I don’t want to do.

Bertus took Ellen and her companions to the underground lab of Temple Magic University.

It was a terrible sight.

Everyone watched what was going on underground.

A reanimated corpse, a reanimated corpse.

Where are they now, what are they doing, and how are they going to be electrified.

Ellen, Ludwig, Louise, and Heinrich were all able to see the scene the demon king had seen not long ago.

Everyone couldn’t speak properly.

Not only the dead, but also the heroes of the past who have already died a long time ago are reviving.

saw it

“Like I said, no matter what you guys say, I have no intention of scrapping this plan.”

After Bertus finally told me everything, I nailed that I would continue with this work as I said.

“You’re saying that if someone dies in the future, they’re going to keep reviving it this way, right?”

At Ellen’s question, Bertus nodded.

That makes a lot of sense.

Even if Ellen dies.

It is a story that even if Saviolin Tana dies, she will be revived and put into battle.

Something like this shouldn’t be happening.

But in the end, what value does a corpse have other than its weight?

If something like that can be useful, shouldn’t it be used?

“Ashir too… … . Did you revive it this way?”

A figure that is no different from a living person.

If you come back to life and speak and remember the same things as when you were alive, wouldn’t you really come to life?

At Ludwig’s question, Bertus shook his head.

“Failed.”

“I can’t really bring it back… … . There wasn’t… … ?”

“okay.”

This is a resurrection that is not even half done.

It is to make a weapon that cannot be more than electrification.

Delphine can’t even find the body, so it’s impossible to even try.

What if it could really bring the dead back to life? If it had not only a complete form but also a complete memory.

A half-resurrection, the mere fact that even half of it was successful makes people have false expectations.

Louis Ankton, Anna de Guerna, and Cristina.

These three were the key personnel of the study.

Ludwig speaks quietly.

“I miss you.”

“… … It’s better not to see.”

As Dettomorian said, if you find Ashir, you will know everything.

However, it has not reached Ashur yet.

“If I failed, how did I fail… … .”

I still haven’t been able to fully see it with my own eyes.

“I think we should see… … .”

Looking at Ellen and Heinrich, who seemed to be of the same mind as Ludwig, Bertus let out a deep sigh.

* * *

Since not everyone has to be away like when the demon king came, all four of them saw the wizards engrossed in what they had to do here.

You can’t tell if they’re alchemists or warlocks just by their outfits.

But they were just doing what they had to do with a firm expression.

If an evil wizard creates a dungeon and conducts terrible experiments there, if a country conducts such research, hundreds of wizards are put in to do terrible things.

An isolated area even in the underground laboratory.

There they could meet familiar faces.

Christina.

Anna de Guerna.

Louis Ankton.

“you… … . how… … ?”

Louis Ancton was stunned when he saw the three of them who suddenly came with the emperor, and Christina and Anna were equally astonished.

However, there was no need to be surprised to encounter them in an unexpected place.

There was only one port in the containment area.

“This is Asher… … ?”

Ludwig was looking at something in the pot with a bewildered expression.

The other corpses returned intact, as if they were taxidermy, but they had what can only be called a grotesque mass of flesh.

Ellen’s complexion turned blue, so did Heinrich, and Louise looked away with her mouth covered.

“this… … . what’s this… … . This can’t be Asher. this… … . what did this do? what… … .”

Both Anna and Cristina were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the people.

Knowing that Bertus allowed entry, I grasped the situation.

It was Christina who always maintained a bright attitude.

However, as if all of that was a mask, inside the laboratory, he shook his head resolutely with a firm expression.

“It just hasn’t worked out yet.”

“what… … Called?”

“There are still many ways to try. I was able to talk a little while ago. I did what I was told. clearly… … . I could.”

Both Anna and Louis were biting their lips at Christina’s attitude.

Tried to revive a friend.

But it failed.

However, there are people who refuse to admit failure.

Something in the port, invisible beyond a trace of something.

Everyone sees it and calls it a failure, but there are still people who are looking for possibilities.

“Nothing is impossible in this world.”

It was possible to bring half the dead back to life.

But why was it impossible to revive completely? Christina believed that she could do it.

A flimsy possibility leads a person to despair and gives them false hope.

Cristina lost her temper, absorbed in the possibility.

“If you’re going to talk about failure or something, get out.”

Christina inside the lab was a completely different person than outside. In the face of the possibility that she might be able to undo her friend’s death, she would have been touching Ashir’s corpse all along.

After failing, I took another approach, again.

If that also fails, the other way around.

Continue.

I think that after trying dozens and hundreds of times, one day I will be able to bring my dead friend back to life.

The result of those numerous attempts would have been this bizarre, bizarre lump that couldn’t even be called a chimera.

Christina had no intention of giving up, though.

Anna and Louie had already accepted failure, but Cristina could not accept failure.

Ellen looks at the port with a hard expression.

It’s impossible, but let’s say we succeed.

Let’s say you can bring the dead back to life.

If so, can such a thing exist in the world?

Ellen couldn’t judge that.

but.

At the garrison, he could tell that Christina, who looked fine, had already been broken a long time ago.

If he dies before the gate crisis is over, he might end up like this too.

That you can fight even if you die.

That you can be a strength to people even after paying for your sins with death.

Should I be grateful for it, or should I despair.

However, I never wanted to become a lump of flesh that could not help anyone.

Ellen couldn’t bear to look at Christina’s longing for hope that didn’t exist in this horrifying sight.

“This… … . This… … .”

Isn’t this wrong

Shouldn’t you be doing something like this?

In the end, there is only pain and despair for both the living and the dead.

Ellen couldn’t help but know that the reason Anna and Louis were begging to be by her side wasn’t to help with the research, but to dissuade Christina.

I knew that Bertus tried to stop Cristina from doing this, but couldn’t stop it.

I have to stop.

If it continues like this, it will only make it worse.

Find Ashur.

I found Ashir, but it’s just a trace.

“stop… … . This… … .”

Ellen replaces what everyone here wants to say.

At Ellen’s words, which she managed to utter after choosing her words for a long time, Christina only turned her eyes to stare at Ellen.

“why?”

At Cristina’s question, which seemed to ask for an explanation, Ellen stared at her.

“You know it won’t… … . It’s only getting harder for you… … .”

In Christina’s eyes as deep and dark as the abyss, Ellen could not help but glimpse despair.

The eyes of a person who is really looking for hope cannot be like this.

A person who truly believes that there is a possibility cannot have such a look.

Because I couldn’t help but to do it, just in case you didn’t know.

This is the only thing I can do, so I can’t have the mechanical eyes of a person who is only clinging to it.

even if you succeed

Even if you talk like Ashur and have memories of Ashur, can you say that it really came to life?

But if I clumsily take away my memories, if I can speak.

From then on, it really becomes something you shouldn’t do.

Cristina was about to do it now.

Everyone is silent about Ellen’s words, but agrees.

The fact that Anna and Louis, who must have watched this scene for a long time, lowered their heads sadly, was already evidence.

Cristina wanted to quit now, but she couldn’t bear to say it, so she must have been reluctantly helping.

That stubbornness would be destroying Christina as well as the other two over there in real time.

At Ellen’s words that she had to quit now, Christina’s eyes, deep and dark like an abyss, grew darker.

“you.”

“Here is it.”

“Even if it was Reinhardt.”

“Are you going to say that?”

in that word.

“… … what?”

Just hearing that name made the air freeze.
