Infinite Mage - Chapter 1036
City of Magical Engineering (4)
The demon race is a species born from low-quality demons and is equivalent to the demonic beast army in hell.
However, because it has a vicious personality and some intelligence, it sometimes attacks cities.
‘In reality, it’s about the size of a monkey.’ Sirone had no idea that the person who actually attacked was a monkey.
‘Let’s stop worrying. ‘I’ll catch you soon.’
In accordance with Satan’s maxim that there are no enemies in hell, the security at the gates of La Viette was lax.
However, the military power of the city itself was truly powerful, and its officials in particular were comparable to the armies of hell.
‘This is the town of magic engineering.’
Sirone arrived at a street lined with numerous stores and entered a two-story building.
“hello.”
The purple-skinned woman who was organizing the items on the shelf turned her head.
“welcome. A store specializing in chess… huh?”
After examining the customer’s appearance, she flapped her bat wings and flew to the counter.
“How old are you?” Sirone made up his age based on what he knew from Ultima.
“102 years old.”
“You’re so young, aren’t you? But they come to all these places. Are you an intelligent species? “Where were you born?”
“On the stove of ambition. “You’re also an intelligent species, right?”
Demons inherit certain characteristics of Satan, and the intelligent species was the most intelligent type among them.
Archduke Magritte was also an intelligent species and had the characteristic of changing his appearance depending on his age.
“Ho Ho! At one point, I even took a management exam. Of course, now I’m here after failing the exam.”
“yes.”
Sirone answered half-heartedly and handed over a list.
“I want to buy some things. Please give me everything here. “I’ll calculate it as death.”
Cash was good because using the Archduke’s credit card would keep records.
“I have seen this somewhere. don’t worry. There are no stolen items here. what?”
The owner’s eyes sparkled as he checked the list.
“You want to buy a heart? This is a very difficult institution. Are you… can you handle it?”
“sure. I even won a prize in a contest hosted by a chemical company. “I also buy this with the prize money.”
Of course it was a lie.
“…OK got it. hang on. First, two hearts from witches who were burned at the stake and one heart from drowning in ice water.”
The function of the heart could be utilized differently depending on the emotions just before death.
She said, putting all her things in a large box and placing it on the counter.
“700,000 deaths in total. But what kind of competition gives out this much prize money?”
“It’s a secret.”
If I were to make something up, there was nothing I couldn’t do, but if I said it this way, I would have thought about it on my own.
“Could it be that you received a scouting offer from a chemical company? “You must be really smart.”
“Well, whatever.”
Sirone first checked the quantity and condition.
“Death will make a lot of money too. Well, that’s good. “I’m going through all this trouble to earn that.”
She was lost in thought with her chin resting on her face, but suddenly she frowned and grabbed you with a fist.
“ouch! “Why are you hitting me?”
“The little one has already taken care of it. Since ancient times, if you are an intelligent species, you should dream big. “Are you going to pass the management exam and join the chemical engineering company without thinking about leading hell?”
Shirone hugged the box and stuck out his lips.
“What does it matter to you?”
I deliberately made it seem like I was young because if I questioned him for no reason, his true origins might be revealed.
“Ha, okay. What can I say to my subject? I, too, once dreamed of a title. The estate that bears my name. In that sense, Raviette is really cool. The Archduke has an aesthetic sense, but also a functional one…
Just as she was about to start a tirade, her eyes filled with life.
“But Yahweh, they said that abominable man had come. “You heard it too, right?”
“yes? Ah yes. “I heard it.”
“He’s a guy that wouldn’t be cool even if I tore him to death. I want to skin you alive. “If I could hear that worm’s screams, I would be able to do anything.”
It was a situation where I had a mouth but nothing to say.
“Why do you hate Yahweh so much?”
“huh?”
“No, I know you don’t like Yahweh, but this year is not good. “It’s strange that you hate someone from the moment you’re born.”
The owner tilted his head.
‘It is said that a very intelligent species transcends the opposite sex. It seems that this child is also like that.’
A representative example was Archduke Magritte.
“It’s a reason to hate. I haven’t really thought about it, but maybe we are Yahweh. She rested her chin and chuckled.
“Is it because I love you so much?”
When Sirone could not respond after hearing the unexpected answer, she continued.
“I actually don’t know. However, when I look at the color of hatred I feel… it seems closer to a sense of betrayal.”
“I feel betrayed.”
“How can I put it, in human terms, what does it feel like to see your beloved companion sleeping with someone else? “Don’t people usually go crazy when that happens?”
It was a possible inference because she was also an intelligent species.
“I think the moment of birth itself acts as a betrayal on us. That’s why I wanted to tear him to death, and I wanted him to be unconditionally unhappy… The
owner’s expression relaxed for a moment, but the burning murderousness was in his eyes.
“I will kill you! They’ll cut open my stomach, take out all my intestines, and chew them in front of you! “You son of a bitch!” After calming down her excitement, she handed over the change.
“Anyway, don’t forget. Yahweh is our main enemy. Since you seem to be excellent, I hope you become a manager instead of a chemical engineer. “You could even aim for the title of duke.”
“thank you.”
Sirone, who had taken care of his death, bowed his head to the owner and left the store.
‘I feel betrayed.’
The steps toward the laboratory were heavy.
La Viette Barracks that night.
The temporarily installed barracks seemed to have been made by haphazardly kneading the internal organs of living creatures.
In that terribly active space, seven demons were sitting around a round table.
General Raviet 7.
The current rank is chief of security, but they were veteran generals who assisted the Grand Duke 100 million years ago.
“You missed it in the end. They searched the city, but the woman could not be found. “It’s some kind of ability.”
Son Yu-jeong was hiding in the city.
“I received a report that Yahweh came in two days ago. Although passage was permitted, there is no record of leaving the castle so far. “If it’s clearly in the city, wouldn’t it have something to do with this incident?”
“Well, the two of you might have made contact by now. Whatever you plan, I can’t wait. “I will report to the Archduke and ask him to delegate full authority.”
“Isn’t that a bit embarrassing? How can you say that the 7 generals who occupied numerous territories failed to capture only 1 person?”
“If you are truly a companion of Yahweh, the matter is serious. Plus, she’s quite strong. “After checking the video captured in the black box, the speed at the moment it hit the castle gate exceeded Mach.”
There was silence for a moment.
“…Then who will report it?”
“I will do it.”
Execution leader Ithaca.
It was a woman with jet-black hair so long that it filled the floor like a shadow.
“And starting tomorrow, security will be strengthened. “The castle gate security has also been strengthened to more than 20 times the usual level.”
“That’s up to you, but the way you give orders is unpleasant. “There is no reason for us to follow your instructions.”
“Then you guys report it.” The meeting is over.
The next morning.
“Kiiiiii!”
A monster specializing in high-speed flight
landed nimbly in front of Raviet’s castle gate.
“What the heck.”
Next, Lete, the president of the chemical company, jumped down.
“long time no see. Raviette.”
As the coat was pulled down from under her chin, her beautiful, tired face was revealed.
“stop! “If you move, we’ll fire!”
Demons were shouting from the top of the castle wall, and two security guards wearing iron armor were approaching her.
“Who are you? Please identify yourself.”
“huh? Identity?”
Seeing Lethe tilt her head, Chi Anpae’s face was distorted with irritation.
‘It’s so hard, I’m dying.’
They had been rolling all night because the gate had been breached.
“Where is your territory?” What’s your name? “Tell Raviette what’s going on!”
Lethe closed one eye tightly and shot back.
“shut up! Ask them one by one! Do you think I have 10 mouths? I have come to meet the Archduke! “What should I do?”
“what?”
The security guard’s hand grabbed Lethe’s chest.
“Is this really crazy! Do you know what the situation is now
? If you play with your tongue incorrectly
…
a clicking sound will come out.
The security guard’s head turned to the side.
It felt like a summary judgment, but none of the demons on the wall were moving.
‘what? ‘What just happened?’
No one knew.
It was the fastest slap in the world, and it was surprising that my neck didn’t break.
“Where are you touching! “I think I’m just going to blow it up!”
“All attack!”
As the demons on the castle wall followed the instructions and aimed their firearms, the castle gate split to the left and right.
thud! thud!
An iron-clad knight appeared with heavy steps.
“Stop it.”
Raviet 7th General Guimara.
As befits his nickname, the Armor Knight, even the armor he wears was made from demons.
Lethe put her hands on her waist.
“Hey, don’t ride. “I need to take better care of my kids.”
The hearts of the demons sank as they saw the name of the security chief, who was over 100 million years old, being called to their faces.
“Hey… excuse me, but who are you?” Before a reply could be made, Guimara got down on one knee, sinking his large sword into the ground.
“I’m sorry, Lethe. “The situation in the city was complicated, so I committed an act of disrespect.”
“huh? Lethe?”
The faces of the demons who realized their identity turned pale and everyone, including me, fell flat on their faces.
“Mother of Hell!”
“Oh, it’s noisy! I’m so busy. What’s going on? “Everyone gets scared and blocks the road.”
“The gate was breached last night. “We judged that it could be a ploy by Yahweh, so we strengthened our guard.”
“Yahweh? Oh right! Yahweh!”
Lethe, who didn’t even have time to raise Gimara up, squatted down and put their faces together.
“Is Lian here too? “Why is that ignorant, strong man carrying a large sword on his back?”
“…I heard there was a commotion in the restaurant. “It seemed like he was looking for the Archduke, but his whereabouts have been unknown since yesterday.”
‘It was yesterday. It was close.’
Relief appeared on Lethe’s face.
“Are you in the Archduke’s castle now? Guide me. And tell Monoras that I have come.”
A puzzled look flashed inside Kimara’s helmet.
“The Grand Duke will welcome you, Lethe. But the chief secretary has never been to the city.”
Lethe groaned and stood up.
“What are you talking about? They say Yahweh is here? So, of course there has to be Monoras.”
“My defensive radius extends far beyond LaViette. To put it bluntly, the chief secretary did not even approach within a 100-kilometer radius, let alone the city.” The bundle in my hand fell down with a crash.
“Lette?”
At that moment, Gimara clearly realized the untouchable anger of the goddess.
“This pig is real!”
