Chapter 612

“The corpses there seem to have come alive as undead and escaped. That was our conclusion. But what the Empire does is, once they bring the corpses, they… … . It’s a job that regenerates in a huge barrel.”

“yes.”

“then… … . What happened there had nothing to do with the Empire in the first place… … . In my opinion, however… … . sorry. I didn’t mean to confuse you, I wonder if that’s the case… … .”

“No, you are right.”

As Ludwig tried to muffle his words, Ellen shook her head resolutely.

“You can find out without asking Bertus. It’s obviously a different case. And there is no reason for the Empire to rob the corpses of the Templars’ graves.”

Grave robbery by the Knights Templar.

And body swapping in national cemeteries.

that’s a different case.

The way they work is so different, and the Empire has no reason to touch the Knights Templar graveyard in the first place.

“Then Rowen must have misidentified the culprit in the first place and started investigating.”

But I just fell into another labyrinth.

It was assumed that everything was the work of the Empire, but the Empire did not kill Rowen and had nothing to do with the theft from the Templar Catacombs.

Rowen then approaches Ludwig to pursue the wrong criminal.

Of course, looking at the scene, it was true that something similar was happening enough to be regarded as the work of the Empire.

But, strictly speaking, they are different cases.

Then, who the hell are the people who caused the work in the underground?

Are they right that they killed Rowen?

“Now what really is… … . I really don’t know.”

Heinrich started tearing his hair out.

“You don’t have to worry about this any more. Because we have no obligation to tell the truth.”

Those were Ellen’s words.

“I also wanted to find out why Archbishop Rowen approached Ludwig and whether he had the intention of killing me. But some of them are clear. Rowen approached Ludwig, probably to investigate the Temple.”

Not all doubts remain unanswered. That’s why you can let go of this case with only the unanswered questions.

Now that we know that Rowen was a person involved in a lot of bad things, it’s not an unfair death. She is, literally, someone who has done what she deserves to die for.

Should we call it causal retribution?

If anyone ever did retaliate against Rowen, it would have been what she deserved.

Ludwig muttered helplessly.

“Okay, you don’t need to know everything… … .”

The truth you already know. The reality is that just knowing the truth is daunting. It is difficult just to endure what is already happening.

It’s painful just to be silent and move on because it’s obviously wrong.

From here, it doesn’t seem possible to dig further into Rowen’s business, which has now completely fallen into a mystery.

“But even if you give up. There is one last possible place.”

Ellen said it was okay to let go of this job, but now she looks at everyone and says it as if it’s really the last time.

“The commander of the Knights Templar said. If the popes try to hide something from them, you can’t know it.”

“… … huh.”

“And it’s true that the commander of the Knights Templar was hiding something from me.”

Ellen speaks quietly.

“We need to find out what they’re hiding, and even if they don’t, the Templars are investigating this case on their own. If you find out anything, maybe you can share the situation. If we can’t get anything out of it, let’s finish this here.”

The last ones to visit.

To the commander of the Templars once again.

and the Popes of the Five Great Patriotic Churches.

It is unknown if the truth they hold has nothing to do with Rowen’s murder.

However, if you can’t get anything out of it, it’s time to shake your hands.

* * *

The case should be considered as a mystery.

Unless the Empire, a powerful dragon force, did this, the only other possibility is the cultists. But figuring out which of the cultists was the culprit became close to impossible.

So, Ellen decided to visit the Templars one last time.

But it was a sensitive matter.

‘Commander, now… … . It’s okay if you stop helping. It might get you in trouble.’

That’s why Ellen told Louise that she didn’t have to intervene anymore.

‘What does that mean now? I’m coming too.’

Since she already knew too much of what she shouldn’t know, Louise was thinking that she too should see the end.

Whatever the secrets of the Templars are, are they greater than the secrets of the Empire?

Once again, the four of them left the temple.

When the four of them arrived at the Great Hall of the Knights Templar after endlessly walking the ecliptic where the magic train stopped.

“The captain is absent.”

The paladins guarding the main gate blocked Ellen’s way with such plain words.

“Then I’ll wait inside. Until you come back.”

“You’re going to be away for quite some time, so you won’t be back soon.”

“… … .”

Ellen stared at the paladins guarding the entrance.

Somehow the attitude is strange.

Even when I tried to enter the burnt temple, it was blocked. At that time, it was clear that he was really troubled.

But something now.

A little strange.

“You mean you went back to the Allied garrison?”

“… … yes.”

It’s a lie.

There was no way that Ileion Boelton would return to the Allied Garrison without properly ending the incident that occurred in the ecliptic.

The gatekeeper is lying right now because he couldn’t have returned without properly grasping the imperial affairs.

But why tell such an obvious lie?

and.

Ellen looked at her surroundings, not the paladin blocking her path.

All the paladins guarding the door were watching Ellen.

Ellen and her friends.

Ellen took a step closer to the paladin.

“… … !”

As Ellen approaches, he takes a step back.

Slightly different look than last time.

“Why are you falling like this?”

Although she was wearing armor, the corners of her eyes, face, and fingertips were trembling slightly.

It was a frightened look.

why?

“Because you don’t have to come back right away. I want to go inside first. If the captain isn’t there, you can meet someone else.”

The moment Ellen tried to pass by.

“You cannot come in.”

“… … .”

The terrified paladin blocked Ellen with his body.

I don’t know what happened, but this makes it clear.

The absence of the knight commander was not important.

It’s important to keep Ellen out.

“Get out of the way.”

“… … It’s not possible.”

Not only the paladin in front of her eyes, but also the other paladins were extremely nervous, which Ellen felt vividly.

As the atmosphere gradually becomes more and more violent, the expressions of the other three waiting for Ellen to finish the story also begin to harden.

“Looks like I’ve come to the right place now.”

Looking at the terrified paladin, Ellen nodded.

“I think you want to see if it is possible for me to break through by force. If you want to know, stop it one more time.”

Ellen takes another step toward the entrance of the Great Temple.

The gatekeepers, this time, couldn’t stop Ellen in the end.

* * *

Ellen entered the temple.

The paladins who couldn’t stop Ellen were staring at Ellen’s back with hard expressions.

“… … It’s strange.”

However, a very strange sight unfolded before the Great Temple.

Obviously, I came in thinking there was something.

“People… … . Why not like this?”

Even when I stopped by a few days ago, many paladins and priests were wandering around.

But now no one came and went, and silence lingered.

If you can’t hear any sound in an overly huge space, you will feel a great sense of incongruity.

Everyone felt that sense of incongruity.

“Something has happened.”

“Let’s go upstairs.”

The Great War of the Knights Templar, which seemed almost empty.

In order to confirm the absence of the commander of the Knights Templar, Ellen led the party and started climbing the stairs.

My heart was beating with a strange beat.

What’s going on.

no, did it happen?

The Great Hall was empty.

As if he had deliberately bitten someone.

Ellen, who went up to the upper floor where the office of the head of the Knights Templar was located, did not even get there.

-Hook! hooked! Pooh!

It was because the terrifying deafening sound started to ring in my ears.

“what… … hey?”

The sound of cutting and cutting flesh with something sharp.

-thud! thud!

The sound of something hitting a wall.

It was a sound that not only Ellen, who had a much more sensitive sense than the average person, but also others could hear.

It was an overly quiet space, so the sound resonated more clearly.

Ellen ran straight to where she heard the sound.

A place close to the office of the head of the Templar Knights.

meeting room.

The sound was coming from there.

-bang!

Without hesitation, Ellen burst through the closed conference room door.

And, seeing the scene unfolding in front of my eyes, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes.

someone was killing people

Ellen looks at the blood and dead people in the conference room.

The flesh of those who could not even properly recognize how terribly torn and cut were scattered all over the place.

The huge conference room was a sea of ​​blood.

The person who had only seen his back slowly turned his head.

“No one told me not to come this way… … .”

The person who turned around looked at Ellen, twisting her mouth and showing a bizarre smile.

“I couldn’t have stopped it.”

“what… … . what is this… … ?”

Others arrived as Ellen muttered in a daze.

“uh… … ?”

Ludwig couldn’t help but be mesmerized as he looked at the scene of the slaughter and the person who seemed to be the master of the slaughter.

“Priests… … sir… … ?”

“Ah, Ludwig… … .”

She wiped the back of her nose with the back of her hand while holding the sword she was holding in reverse.

I tried to wipe the blood, but rather, the blood spread more and more on my face, and it became a bizarre look.

“Yes. Ludwig doesn’t know anything… … .”

For some reason, it was an expression that clearly felt apologetic.

However, unlike the whole body covered in blood, the innocently apologetic expression only looked more creepy.

“Priest… … ? How did the priest… … ?”

From Ludwig’s reaction, I had no choice but to know who the woman in front of me was.

Archbishop Rowen is alive.

The priest who was said to be dead is slaughtering in the meeting room on the top floor of the Knights Templar.

And the paladins blocking the road at the entrance.

instead of an empty one.

It can be assumed that it was not a single act.

There was some collusion.

A huge collusion that is hard to fathom.

and dead people.

The clothes of those who were murdered beyond recognition.

“Who did you kill?”

At Ellen’s question, Rowen shrugs.

“It’s the Popes.”

The total number of dead is five.

With that alone, Ellen couldn’t help but guess what had happened.

“By the way, have you guys not seen Ileion Boelton?”

“… … what?”

“Where and how did you smell it? Because she ran away.”

It was not a lie to say that the commander of the Knights Templar was absent.

It is the first time for everyone except for Ludwig to see Rowen in person.

“If you don’t know, can you stop meddling and turn off?”

“… … what?”

“Meddling too much in other people’s affairs is rude.”

Now I can’t even guess where the situation started.

The priest who was said to be dead is alive.

For some reason, that priest is brutally butchering the five popes.

It was even a situation where everyone in Daeshinjeon seemed to have moved out of their seats.

from where

what.

How did this scene unfold before my eyes?

Is it right to draw a sword?

Ellen’s eyes were wide open and her fingertips were shaking.

“I don’t like that crazy bitch either, but I want her to be left alone for now.”

And suddenly, the voice from the back forced me to turn my gaze to the hallway this time.

“It’s good to go around here and there, but why don’t you step back from here?”

All four of them couldn’t help but be even more astonished at the sudden appearance of the person.

“Olivia… … Ranche?”

One of the three Temple students who disappeared with the Demon King.

Olivia Ranze was watching them.

Heinrich, Ludwig, and Louise.

It was equally astonishing to know that she was someone who should never have been here.

“I will tell you briefly.”

Olivia looks at them with her arms crossed and says whether or not they understand her existence.

“From now on, the Knights Templar and the Order of the Five Great Masters are ours. what… … Strictly speaking, it is only now that we are on the right track.”

“I beg your pardon… … ?”

“So, you know that and go back.”

Olivia was looking straight at Ellen.

“You are smart. Do you know that if you use your sword recklessly here, things will get weird?”

In the face of that arrogant and imposing threat, Ellen felt like giving up on understanding the situation.
