The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone

fate (4)

The Imperial Central Horse Tower, located in the middle of the Islands.

Elbon, the master of alchemy, was walking around the lobby of the tower with a worried face.

It must be so, because the disciple whom Elbon loved did not return to the tower after a day had passed.

What Elbon had to do with his disciple, Enia, was to simply purchase medicinal herbs.

It was because it was difficult for Elbon to go out and look around on her own, which had been rumored to be a commotion at the bar.

Some of the followers of the Temple of Abundance sent Elbon a letter full of intimidation.

However, Enia, who went out after receiving Elbon’s errand, had yet to return to the tower.

Elborn, who had been immersed in the ongoing research for a long time, realized that fact only after staying up all night.

So, from Elbon’s point of view, it was a situation that could not help but worry.

“He’s not the kind of guy who deserves to go anywhere…”

The herbal store where Elbon sent Enia was the place she and I usually went to buy ingredients.

There was no reason for Enia to wander because she forgot the location of the herb shop.

Moreover, it was difficult to even think that Enia had been hit by someone.

Unlike Elbon, Enia was a wizard with a talent for battle magic.

She was the first universal gemstone found by Elborn among the common people of the valley.

That’s why Elborn usually asked other Masters to teach Enia battle magic.

If he fought an unprepared battle outside the tower, there was a possibility that Elbon would be defeated by Enia.

It was safe to say that there were very few situations where such Enia could be attacked by assailants in the system.

“Where the hell are you smoking a joke…?”

Elbourne, with a tongue in her mouth, continued to walk through the lobby with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

Seeing Elborn’s uneasy appearance, the junior wizards took care of him and avoided him.

Even the masters of other branches saw Elborn and frowned and went inside.

Nevertheless, Elbon continued to wander the lobby.

Maybe it was because he had been harassing him too much, and the disciple had run away unscathed.

Even that thought came to Elbon’s mind.

In the end, a conclusion was drawn in Elbon’s head, which had been standing still for a long time.

“I can’t. I have to go out on my own…”

The moment Elbon made that decision and was about to get out of the tower.

One of the staff of the tower, who was coming in, saw Elborn and stopped.

In the hand of the employee, he looked like he was holding a rough-looking envelope.

As soon as the employee with the letter found Elbon, he handed it to him and talked to him.

“Sage. I have a letter addressed to you.”

“letter? Are you talking to me?”

Elbon’s eyes narrowed at the story of a letter coming to him.

Letters to Elbon were usually delivered in luxurious envelopes.

And the seal on the letter was also from a family famous enough to be recognized by Elborn.

However, the wax sealing the letter had a seal that Elbon had never seen before.

It was a suspicious letter with not even the sender’s name written on it properly.

Upon receiving the letter from the staff, displeasure and doubt arose in Elborn’s mind.

The employee who delivered the letter said hello to him and tried to get out of his seat.

“I’ll just go. If you need anything, in the lobby…”

“for a moment. Who sent this letter?”

But Elborn stopped the staff and asked who the letter was from.

In recent years, threatening letters from believers who attend the Temple of Abundance have arrived.

I was thinking of throwing away the letter if it was sent by an insignificant guy.

Then, the employee who received Elbon’s question immediately put on a puzzled expression on his face.

He only returned the answer to Elbon with a look of incredulity.

“I don’t even know who the sender is. Because I simply took over the letter from outside.”

“Ts. Alright, go ahead.”

When Elbon heard the employee’s story, he clicked his tongue and waved his hand to the employee.

Only then did the employee say hello to Elbon and showed him leaving the seat.

I’m still busy trying to find a disciple, but I’m sending you a letter I don’t know in English.

Elbourne ripped open the letter, suppressing the anger that was boiling inside.

tuk.

The envelope was torn by rough hands that did not use a knife.

Elbourne took out the letter from the envelope and chewed her lips to check the contents of the letter.

I was thinking of tearing up the letter if it had something unimportant on it.

“What kind of rude guys sent these letters this time? tt.”

Elbon’s eyes, having opened the letter like that, began to examine the letter one by one.

The first thing that caught Elborn’s eyes as she read the letter was Jiji.

The blood stamp was stamped on the bottom of the letter.

Upon seeing it, the smell of fishy blood flowed down Elbon’s nose.

Elbon’s eyes frowned as he looked at the letter.

I don’t know who it was, but it was truly barbaric.

Elbon’s gaze, having confirmed the disturbance, turned to the top of the letter this time.

“·················ogue.”

Elbon, who made an impression, checked the contents of the letter line by line.

What was written on the first line was a courtesy greeting.

And from the next line, the other party’s business began to follow.

A request for an interview with Elbon.

He will visit the tower and visit Elborn’s laboratory, so he asks him to talk to the tower in advance so that he can avoid the checkpoint.

In addition to that, the contents of this letter are not to be disclosed to anyone else.

The contents of the letters were all about making unreasonable and rude requests to Elbon.

It was a letter that would have ripped the letter to shreds in anger if it was a normal Elbon.

If it wasn’t for what was written at the end of the letter.

‘I’ll take a picture of Enia Claude’s handprint and send it to you. If the notice is not properly implemented at the scheduled time, the safety of the disciple we are carrying cannot be guaranteed.’

close.

Elbon sharpened his teeth at what was written in the letter.

Only then did Elbon look at the jigsaw at the bottom of the letter again.

The bloodstain on the bottom belonged to the disciple.

If you try the reagents in the laboratory, you can verify the authenticity.

After reading the whole letter, a thick vein appeared on Elbon’s neck.

“This… profit…!”

Elbon’s face turned red in an instant, and he crumpled up the letter he was holding in his hand.

I had to go back to the lab right now.

And they had to use reagents to verify that the contents of the letter were true.

If the contents of the letter are true.

At that time, either Elbon or one of the senders of the letter would have to pay a heavy price.

Elbon, holding the letter with trembling hands, shouted at the staff of the tower who was standing in front of the elevator.

“I have to go up to the 7th floor! Open the elevator now!”

Elborn’s harsh voice resounded in the lobby of the tower.

Enia Claude.

The only direct disciple of the Alchemy Master was kidnapped.

* * * * * *

“It’s been a while since I returned to the Empire.”

The border between the Empire and the Crossbridge.

Heus, the hero of knowledge, looked out the window and spoke in the carriage of the subjugation squad heading to the southeast of the empire.

It’s been almost a year since Hus Alamere, who was an investigator under Cloud, was chosen by the goddess and became a hero of knowledge.

After one year, he will return to the empire he was born in.

In the meantime, he tried to find traces of his brother Evan Alamere, but to no avail.

So Huss, who didn’t hear from Evan, had to admit that he didn’t want to believe it.

Inquisitor Evan Alamere was killed.

Even to the followers of the evil spirit, whom he was so wary of.

“By the way, did you say that your hometown is an empire?”

Hearing the voice coming towards him, Huss raised his head and looked at the other side.

tee.

Shion, who had let go of the demonstrators he was holding in his hand, was looking at him with a smile on his face.

The hero of the hunt, Sion Arios.

Shion, chosen by the goddess of hunting, was holding her divine god, ‘Astra’.

The bow with a beautiful exterior had a divine atmosphere, befitting the name of the Shingi.

Seeing Shion looking at him as he bounced off the protest, Huss nodded and said.

“I was born into the imperial Alemere family.”

“The one-eyed nobleman. If it wasn’t for the wizard, it would have felt pretty bloody.”

“It was a face that worked quite well in the cloud. Is it so strange that a wizard has one eye?”

“Aren’t they people who don’t do harsh things for a while? If you didn’t lose your eyes through an experiment, it’s only natural to see it strangely.”

“An accident happened when I was young. If you hadn’t saved me, my life, not my eyes, would have been in danger.”

Huss said so, stroking one of his throbbing eyes.

It was his brother, Evan Alamere, who saved him from a childhood accident.

It was Evan who always slandered him with a heavy tone of voice, but his affection for his family was as serious as ever.

He was a man who sincerely wanted his family to prosper.

If Huss had a difficult problem, he would have come to help Huss even if it was too much.

Just like when I came to visit after taking a vacation with a letter stating that the appearance of an evil spirit was suspected.

“If it’s your brother… the person you were looking for so much?”

After hearing Huss’ words, Shion asked about Evan this time.

Already, rumors of Huss looking for people were popular throughout the Holy Land.

The disappearance of a capable and devout inquisitor was a major event in the Holy Land.

Moreover, it was even more so if the identity was the family of the hero of the time.

Among them, there were many people who had known Evan for a long time.

It was not so strange that Shion, who lives in the Temple of Hunting, knew about Evan.

“okay. He was strict, but he was a good man.”

“So it must be what you are looking for. Besides, we hear quite a bit of gossip from the Holy Land.”

“It was after the investigation was over to help me that my brother disappeared. That’s why I think… you must have been attacked by the followers of the evil spirit.”

“Is there any chance that that person is still alive?”

tung.

Sion pulled Astra’s protest again.

It’s possible that Evan is still alive.

It wasn’t that he didn’t consider the possibility, but it was a story that had a low chance when he thought about it rationally.

Evan, whom Hus knew, was never one to yield to the forces of evil spirits.

Even if it were to death, I would have resisted them.

Moreover, there was no reason for the followers of the evil spirit to keep the paladin alive for long.

Hus guessed that he would have sacrificed himself to the evil god after being tortured in moderation.

“Your brother is not someone you can subdue through torture. If the denominations tried to convince them, they would reject it without thinking for a second.”

“Is there any possibility that they are being held captive?”

“Even so, too much time has already passed. It’s been over a year since I left the Empire.”

“It’s one year. One year is definitely a long time.”

“If possible, I would like to believe that you are still alive, but I don’t think such a good story is possible.”

Whoa.

Huss took a deep breath and looked out the window.

The shadow he had pursued all his life is no longer there.

All that was left was the hero of knowledge who carried the world’s fortunes, and the vacancy of the brothers that would be felt whenever they returned to the Empire.

tuk.

Huss opened the bag and took out a tobacco that was inside and put it in his mouth.

It was an object that his brother had so avoided because of its unique scent.

Although there are no brothers left to complain to him now.

Seeing Hus burning tobacco using magic, Shion, who was facing him, put down his shinki and said:

“But, well, it’s something you don’t know until you check it out. First of all, I will pray for you.”

“The heart is grateful.”

“After the Kueberg subjugation is over, I will use the spirits to help the search for a few days, so if you need help, talk to me.”

It’s a search using spirits.

It was definitely a story that could have worked.

It will be a story when Evan is still alive.

“…you’ve been telling stories like heroes for the first time in a long time.”

“First of all, people call me a hero, right? Even if you see people like that, sometimes you have to act accordingly.”

Huss looked at the hero in front of him in the carriage that was approaching the family of evil spirits.

When I first met him, he didn’t like him, but now, that feeling has long since disappeared.

This is the first subjugation where Huss himself moves with the heroes.

If I can finish this subjugation safely.

At that time, it would not be bad to have a drink with Zion.
