The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 438
Chapter 123 Street (3)
“No matter how I change it, it’s useless. “I don’t know anyway.”
“I’m not going to ask you about something you don’t know. “I just want to hear your opinion as a devil.”
Marco tilted his head.
This person is strangely friendly. I saw you for the first time today.
Wanting to hear the devil’s opinion is not something a human should say.
‘Is that even possible because he is a ‘good human being’?’
Goodness is just a different word for clumsiness and weakness.
Marco nodded as if to give it a try.
Dier said:
“If the devil impersonates God, God will declare war on the devil. What do you think about this possibility?”
Dier’s words made Marco feel bad once again. I have no idea how the information is flowing there.
Is this also because of Frontier? What on earth is he doing?
Marco said.
“It’s highly likely. It’s almost certainly true. “In fact, it is no different from the devil declaring war first.”
“As expected. great.”
Dier wrote down Marco’s words. His appearance was truly that of a model student who attended school diligently.
“It looks like there are quite a few 72 demons in Agoris. “If it’s possible to impersonate God, it has to be that much.”
“yes. “You have to have strength to believe.”
“But the reason why there are so many 72 demons in Agoris is because their way back has been cut off.”
“yes. “You already know this.”
The demons, led by Bael, crossed the gate with Satan.
However, Satan returned to the Demon World and closed the gate, and the remaining devils in this world remained in Agoris with no means of returning.
“They say the devils have no king to represent them. Is that true? Mr. Marco, do you think the devils also need a king?”
“My answer to both is ‘yes.’ We need someone to unite the demons. Demons are overly personal, but that doesn’t mean they can do as they please. “The current demons are nothing more than each group appointing a representative as a temporary measure.”
Hmm, hmm. Dier nods his head and writes down diligently. He doesn’t even seem to judge whether Marco’s words are true or false. A laugh escapes from Marco at that sight.
Aster and Esther, who were watching from the side, also looked worried, but did not bother to disturb them.
“Of course the gods know that the devils have no king, right?”
“of course. That is why God is ensuring victory in the war against the devil.”
“If the devil has no king, how can he talk to the gods? “There will be a need for balance with the high gods.”
“It’s basically an adversarial relationship, so things like that don’t happen often, but when that time comes, the Seven Deadly Sins take charge. Taking turns. It feels like drawing lots. Well, it seems like Satan has been making frequent appearances lately.”
As always, Marco did not use any honorifics even to his boss, Satan. However, Dier seemed to be not particularly interested in him and wrote it down diligently.
Dier scratched his head with the back of his pen as if he was having some trouble.
“Hmm, so the high gods have never met any demons other than the Seven Deadly Sins?”
“Well, unless you happen to run into a petty low-level devil, there’s no need to meet him.”
To that answer.
“──Is that so?”
Dier’s expression disappeared, and he put down his pen.
“…What?’
The corner of Marco’s eye twitches at the sudden change in his appearance.
At that moment, he caught the scent of Frondier from Dier.
But it was just a moment, and Dier’s eyes still shine with the light that Marco knows so well.
Those are clearly Marco’s favorite, the eyes of a good human being.
“The Seven Deadly Sins are the only demons that the High God has ever shared an opinion with, which means he must have accepted that opinion as the opinion of all demons.”
“…Well,”
“If a devil, whether Bael or anyone else, is impersonating God, then from God’s perspective, it would be irrelevant whether it is the Seven Deadly Sins or the 72 Demons.”
“!”
bang!
Marco stood up in surprise.
As someone who always had to hide his true feelings, it was something he wouldn’t normally do, but at this moment, it was meaningless.
Because he has gone beyond the problem of deceiving with facial expressions or words.
“Yes, you. how…!”
“How, Ranyo?”
Dier asks again.
Marco bites his lower lip at that sight.
A strong question that Marco feels.
How did you trick me? How can I do this with such an innocent looking face?
However, even if Marco does not know, Dier himself knows.
‘…It doesn’t suit me.’
Psychological warfare with a good heart and toying with the other person.
Even Dier himself thinks that his two elements ‘do not match’.
So everyone else must think so too.
Unless you know Dier completely, the ‘goodness’ he shows will first make his enemies let down their guard.
Taking things lightly is ultimately what it means.
‘Besides, Marco already had a bitter taste for Senior Frontier before he met me.’
Frontier’s image is powerful.
At the same time, it is very transparent and reasonable.
While Frondier toyed with his opponents, he crushed them with his fearless smile, deceptive words, fierce force, and lethality.
It is an appearance that can be said to be natural and suitable for delving into the enemy’s psychology.
That image is also engraved on Marco. Naturally, a being like Dier appears to be standing on the exact opposite side of Frondier.
‘I can’t do that.’
Dier cannot smile confidently, make cheeky remarks that provoke his enemies, or suppress his enemies with murderous intent.
Instead, he does not give up his goodness even at every moment when he reads the other person’s thoughts, and
to the devil, he becomes a sword that pierces his guard.
“Last question.”
Dier looked at Marco. Our eyes met.
“Is the reason Bael is arguing with God to draw the Seven Deadly Sins, or Satan, into the war?”
“…!”
Marco predicted this question.
I finally found out what kind of person Dier was.
Marco is the devil of truth. He does not lie ‘if possible’.
However, that is not a restriction.
A deep, deep trap targeting humans, created to deceive them at a truly important moment.
However, the opponent is Dier.
‘Try to tell a lie.’
If possible.
Reproduce exactly the same breathing, gaze, eye blinks, finger and shoulder movements, tone and intonation, tone of voice, and lip stiffness as when telling the truth.
While these eyes of mine are watching, if that is possible.
* * *
Dier and Aster left the prison.
Aster said.
“You said no.”
“It’s a lie.”
“It seemed quite persuasive.”
“is that so? “I don’t know because I haven’t heard it since.”
Oh my, Aster scratched his head.
Aster also knows Dier well. I trust his extraordinary brain.
But sometimes it’s even scary. In a different sense from frontier.
“Wouldn’t it be better to test the hypothesis again? Marco knew about the signs of war on the Agoris side from the beginning. If I had known in advance that it would go this far, there is a possibility that the bluff I used against him would have been discovered. “You better not ignore the devil’s intelligence.”
“Of course, I agree with the verification of the hypothesis itself, but he probably doesn’t know the current situation in advance.”
“How can you be sure?”
“That guy was dragged around by Senior Frontier.”
Ah, Aster nodded as if he understood.
Marco fell for Frondier’s scheme and struggled along the way, but was knocked unconscious by his demonic power and ended up in Obsidian.
Anyway, that probably wasn’t what I wanted.
“Now that all plans have been broken, we are the best devil to know the situation.”
“…As expected, you’re scary.”
Dier smiled sheepishly. As if saying “scary” is a compliment.
Maybe it’s because I’ve only heard that I’m so kind, but I feel good because it feels like my skills are being evaluated when I hear such stories.
“But the problem starts now. “I need to tell Senior Frontier about this.”
Dier was thinking.
Marco told Dier to go to Agoris himself. As if that was what I deep down wanted.
‘It’s definitely because there’s something you can recognize when you see it on this continent.’
The situation of Agoris that is not visible within Agoris. There will be something like that.
Inside, it is nearly impossible to detect the devil’s plan in the same way as Dier.
Only by looking at it from the Palind Continent and knowing information about Agoris can you see the gaze of the gods toward the demons.
That is why Frontier cannot reach the same conclusion as Dier. Even if a conclusion is reached, there is no way to confirm it.
Frondier has become so famous now that it is impossible to catch a demon off guard like Dier did.
“If there is something else that can only be noticed here, it is not a good choice for us to go to Agoris.”
“I don’t know when it will arrive.”
Yes. And when Dier nodded.
Food duck.
They stop at the sound of wings flapping.
“huh?”
A crow circles Dier’s side and lands on Aster’s shoulder.
“…Senior Aster, are you good at following animals?”
“I’ve never thought about that. Even so, I have never had a crow perch on my shoulder.”
Dier saw the crow sitting next to Aster.
My first thought was,
‘Senior Aster doesn’t really get along with crows.’
And the next thing was,
‘I feel like I’ve seen this crow somewhere,’
[Hello.]
“Wow!”
Aster shouted in surprise. Dier didn’t just shout, but his eyes opened wide.
[Do you remember me? I am Frontier’s servant.]
“…Ah, ah! “Frondier always had it on his shoulder!”
Only then did I remember Dier and shouted.
…But it looks a little different from the crow I remember. weird. Are there multiple crows you have tamed?
I have tamed several crows, but they are all at a level where they can speak natural language?
[I think I have something to tell you, Frontier.]
The crow lowered his head and posture deeply, out of place.
[Please leave it to me.]
