The Demon Prince goes to the Academy Chapter 610

Chapter 610

just a few days

So much has happened in just a few days.

sudden riot.

sudden slaughter.

“The fortunes of the empire have run out.”

Louise quietly said that while sitting on the terrace with Heinrich.

“Your luck is running out… … ?”

“Do you think a country that is shunned by people can survive?”

“The Empire is strong, so wouldn’t it be possible?”

“I might be able to survive. Until the cause loses its meaning.”

Louise was staring at the thick snow.

“Are you talking about a justification?”

Louise nodded at Heinrich’s question.

“Right now, don’t you also think that the Empire’s actions are unavoidable?”

Heinrich’s eyes widened at Louise’s words.

If the empire collapses now, everything is over.

That’s why I thought that if this action of the empire, the riots of the refugee camp people lead to the overthrow of the empire, the entire human race might perish.

So cruel and terrifying.

It was true that I thought it was unavoidable.

“That is the cause. To make the action inevitably comprehensible. Whether it be war, reviving the dead, or massacre.”

gate incident.

“Right now, the Empire has an absolute and perfect justification for the Gate Crisis. That’s why the Empire can do anything to keep it alive.”

“As it is now, the act of reviving the bodies of the dead and making them into an army is almost compromising, because it is for the sake of ending the Gate crisis, so you have to understand it, right? No matter how cruel, no matter how cruel, one very absolute justification rationalizes everything.”

“This is also true.”

“This civil unrest, triggered by people’s well-founded anxiety and fear, the empire was able to stab people with the justification of preventing the Gate incident.”

“What if it were normal?”

“Creating an army from the corpses of the dead? It would have been a feat for the entire continent right away. The empire would have been torn apart in that moment. If it was peacetime, I wouldn’t have accepted that the imperial family doing such things was the owner of the continent. It’s not that he can’t accept it, he must have used that as an opportunity to collapse the empire.”

“A brutal massacre because there was a riot? could have done But you will have to pay the price.”

“The Empire is betting too much on the absolute cause of the Gates incident.”

“I mean, I’m deferring all the costs for later.”

“Someday you will have to pay this price.”

“The day the gate crisis ends, all justifications are gone.”

“People will still be powerless, but they will hate and hate the Empire.”

At Louise’s words, Heinrich shook his head as if he wasn’t sure.

“Because people hate the Empire… … . Is it possible for the empire to collapse?”

“No, it is not the people who destroy the empire. Justification is not for the little ones.”

“If not… … .”

“Justification is a justification for those who have power, for those who have power.”

The justification is what is used in the first place. The justification is therefore not prepared for the insignificant.

“Once the gate crisis is over, there will be another cause.”

“Any other cause?”

“The justification that the empire should disappear.”

At those words, Heinrich widened his eyes.

“It is a country that builds an army using the dead, commits massacres of civilians, and is not even capable of supporting its people.”

“And now people hate and hate the Empire.”

“It means that in the future, someone else will want to take the place of the Gradias family.”

“No matter who sits there, people will not miss the Empire. I have already accumulated too much hate and anger.”

People’s hatred and anger toward the empire becomes a justification.

But mobs cannot bring down an empire.

Someone with power, someone with power.

When he uses the cause to devour the Empire, people will support the new Empire that replaced it.

A justification is a reason and a basis.

The basis for predicting that when a new power appears, people will not rebel against it.

As long as the empire is hated, people will not rebel against anyone who rises to the position of the empire.

“I imagined the empire collapsing a lot… … .”

Louise gazes at the landscape in silence. It has been a long-held dream of the Schwarz family to overcome their inferiority towards the empire and become the master of the empire.

However, now that the empire was about to collapse, Louise von Schwarz was not happy about this situation.

The empire is building karma.

One day you will have to pay the price for that.

“It’s interesting.”

Louise lets out a breath.

“If anyone is hated, is it okay for anyone to sit there… … .”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s say people hate the Gradias family. I already hate and hate you, but.”

“yes… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be different if the demon king sat there?”

“… … yes?”

Louise laughed at Heinrich’s stupid reaction.

“On the contrary, since I haven’t experienced the demon king, you might think that it might be even better than the already worst empire.”

Empire shows the worst of the worst.

I hate the Empire and I hate the Demon King.

However, the Demon King has not experienced it yet.

So you might imagine that it might be a little different from the empire, that it was already the worst and couldn’t be worse.

“Being the owner with everyone’s support, or being the owner of the worst in an already worst situation. It seems there is no reason to refuse.”

If it’s the best and the worst, people will reject and reject the worst and want the best.

But if it’s the worst and the worst.

People will want the lesser evil.

Empire is the worst. It’s heading for the worst.

So anyone can sit.

Whoever can steal it

if you have the strength to do so.

“I think you know why I was able to enter the Temple… … .”

Saying that, Louise took a sip of the cold black tea in her mouth.

‘The emperor is digging a grave… … .’

dig a grave

I am not selling without knowing.

digging knowingly

* * *

“Is it yet?”

“yes. Because I need a little more time… … .”

Ileion Bolton couldn’t hide his nervousness at the sight of the many priests struggling with papers at the headquarters of the Knights Templar.

Every priest in the Templar Order capable of cracking this cipher has been put in, but the work has been going on for too long and little progress has been made.

Ileion Bolton watched the busy scene, then went out onto the terrace.

Outside the lofty temples of the Templars, the snowy scene was still unfolding.

Excessive snowfall has already become a major problem in the refugee camp.

It snows, too much.

But now that’s a problem, but what happens between people is more of a problem.

The situation in the refugee camp had already reached an extreme, and the Empire’s response was extreme.

Naturally, he intuitively knew that this situation had nothing to do with Rowen.

Don’t you know that this is just the beginning.

Rather than collapse on its own, the Empire chose to shed its flesh.

There’s no guarantee that the next thing you’ll need to shed is the flesh. Next time you might have to cut a bone or sacrifice something else.

We need to find Rowen.

The fact that Rowen is controlling the heretics scattered in the refugee camp means that the camp is actually Rowen’s.

If only evil and hatred remain for those who are tired of desperation and despair, something more extreme could happen.

The riots once subsided in violence, but the next riots will break out on a much larger scale.

‘Even if I find it, what the hell will change?’

What happened cannot be what never happened.

The riots in the refugee camp and the massacre in the Empire cannot be eliminated, just as the Gate incident cannot be undone.

Even if you find Rowen and eliminate the cultists, chaos has already begun.

Even if you try to find the arsonist, a fire that has already grown too large is a separate issue.

An arsonist and a fire are now completely separate things.

You may be able to find Rowen and keep him from starting another fire, but a fire that has already grown will ignite itself.

Fortunately, the demon king, who was needed the most, approached.

It was a miserable and pitiful thing that the Popes arbitrarily brought the Knights Templar and the Five Great Religions to the point of grinding teeth and rotting inside, but what they needed most right now was the Demon King.

Rowen is a follower of the Demon King.

If so, it is clear that he will absolutely follow the devil’s words.

A single word from the king.

If you can deliver just one word to Rowen to stop his self-defeating behavior, you can slow down the flow of madness to some extent.

But in order to do that, he must eventually find Rowen.

You can’t publicize the fact that the Demon King has appeared in the ecliptic to find Rowen.

It’s like causing a landslide to put out a fire.

secretly anyway.

covertly anyway.

This chaos can be controlled if the demon king can approach Rowen and inform him that the Temple Knights and the Five Great Religion are already on the demon king’s side.

Tried to purge Rowen.

Seeing the ripple effects of that one choice, Ileion Boelton felt as if his eyes would grow far away.

I don’t know what the Empire was doing, but it was clear that it was doing something quite dangerous and sinister.

It was believed that if Rowen, who hated the Empire, found out about it, it would inevitably lead to bad things in some way.

But in the end, Ileion Boelton fell into self-controversy that he caused more dangerous things to stop dangerous things.

The Demon King was waiting for information from the Knights of the Temple, and he would have been busily moving to find Rowen in his own way.

But in the end, the important information is inside the Templars.

If you decipher the encrypted document, you will be able to know the power of the pagans, and you may be able to reach Rowen’s whereabouts.

but its working.

Rowen’s data, which had been accumulated for a long time, was so large that it was not properly analyzed.

How many days has it already been?

Still, since there has already been an uproar once, isn’t there time before the next uproar happens?

Even if the information was dug up after the decryption of the encrypted document, Rowen would of course know about the material he left behind.

So he could think of any number of ways to make this information worthless.

All it takes is one word.

The Demon King you follow and follow has already come to us.

If you deliver that one word, everything will be solved, but that is not possible.

The Devil’s Approach.

Only the commander of the Knights Templar and the Popes of the Five Major Churches know this.

Just as the gate incident occurred when misunderstandings and lies were not resolved, is Rowen trying to turn the imperial capital into a sea of ​​fire again without knowing that what he so much wanted has already come true?

Ileion Bolton watches a number of priests rummaging through papers.

Some of the heretic inquisitors should have been kept alive.

If so, it wouldn’t have taken this long.

But it is useless to regret it.

If only the commander of the Knights Templar hadn’t done such a useless thing, being wary of having too much authority and intentionally not telling him what he needed to know.

Had it been so, this would not have happened.

The Popes’ restraints and Ileion Bolton’s over-vigilance ruined everything.

Ileion Bolton looks through the papers written in cipher text.

Since he had never worked as a Heretic Inquisitor, Ileion Boelton could not, and did not need to, read these ciphered documents.

That’s why, all the priests in the analysis room here had a career as a Heretic Inquisitor or were doing something related to it.

Strictly speaking, Rowen was in the position of commanding all the Heretic Inquisitors, so they were also Rowen’s subordinates.

However, since most of Rowen’s direct subordinates, who should know the core of this case, have died, the work has no choice but to be slow.

But really.

Really?

Ileion Bolton looks at the priests in the analysis room in a sudden thought.

Turn the page, write something, do something.

doing something

Ileion Bolton watches them silently.

are doing something

but eye movement.

Gesture to turn the paper.

The unknown felt there.

A strange feeling of discomfort.

It looks like it’s doing something.

It’s like you don’t want to do anything.

I feel such a sense of incongruity.

Only then did Ileion Bolton sigh deeply, covering his face with both hands.

‘Damn it… … .’

It was stupid.

It was too stupid.

These are people who cannot be related to Rowen at all.

however.

But why?

Did they trust that they would carry out their orders properly?

That the Knights Templar are a group that follows the leader’s orders.

Why did you take that for granted?

* * *

Can you find a needle in the sand?

Unless you have an awful lot of time, that will be difficult. And even now, when it was not clear how much time was given, I was feeling in real time what it felt like to dry up my blood.

This lameness, which Rowen was obviously involved in, was heading towards some abyss.

Rather, he contemplated dozens of times a day whether or not to put a superpower that shows that the demon king appeared in the ecliptic.

An accident has occurred and a certain flow has occurred.

You can’t stop it.

However, I couldn’t find it unless I had to shout for Rowen to come out on the roadside, so I had no choice but to wait for information from the Templars.

It was the same with Bertus.

Rowen told him what he had been doing and what he could do, but Bertus couldn’t do anything other than prevent this catastrophe in the form of a massacre.

If things go to the extreme, Bertus could really choose the option of wiping out the entire refugee camp.

Hundreds of thousands have already died.

An empire that has grown to the point of being able to roll a guard corps made up of master classes can make that a reality.

If things get a little weirder, tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, will be slaughtered.

Disasters, not death from starvation, but death from slaughter.

I can’t let that happen, but there’s little I can do.

All I could do was get a little more information, and get to Rowen as quickly as possible.

You need to find a needle in the sandy beach.

We need to find out quickly.

To a guy who likes the demon king so much, since I’m here, I have to at least tell him to shut his mouth and watch him to stop this madness.

The Great War of Als is an overly conspicuous place.

And meeting the popes in person is also dangerous.

That’s why I asked them to send a contact to the designated contact point.

The location is the sewer under the Bronzegate piers.

A place where a Rotary club was located.

As I made my way to the rendezvous point, I saw someone who appeared to be my contact person waiting for me, standing in the corner of the sewer.

A woman wearing a tattered robe smiles brightly at me.

That smile was a bit odd.

how to say

A feeling of over-welcome.

A smile that doesn’t match the current situation.

“Demon King.”

And an overly friendly name.

I don’t know what happened to the situation.

“I guess… … .”

But I understand it naturally.

Although it is impossible to find a needle in the sand.

“I think you are Rowen.”

Was it possible for the needle to find me?
