The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 563
Chapter 563
Louis Ancton’s talent is academic.
Magic can’t be used, so it doesn’t help in battle.
However, he continued to serve in the Allied Forces and was seen several times in the Royal Class Garrison.
Louis Ankton is a wizard-like guy who can’t use magic called a magician. In fact, he helped design the power cartridge and moonshine.
Guy Louie helps improve the children’s magic level in the original work, and he’s actually doing the same here.
I’m sorry for Louie, but to put it bluntly, Louie is Harriot’s inferior compatibility.
But that’s because the target of comparison is our pricks, not that Louis is an ugly guy.
He can’t actually use magic, but he has the talent to perfectly understand and design all kinds of magic.
If you think about it from there, there is a problem.
Louis Ankton had nothing to do with Adelia’s project, Titan research. But if he had, it would have been of great help.
Louis Ankton has nothing to do with Project Titan.
He would have worked to improve and improve the magicians’ battle magic, but he also has enough ability to take on at least one big thing.
Even so, the fact that Louis had nothing to do with Titan development meant that he was in charge of a completely different project.
Louis Ankton is also gifted with an understanding of literal black magic.
So, if Anna is working on a project related to the undead, Louis Ankton can help with it, or rather lead it.
So I’m not sure yet, but I know a few things.
Anna is not eating and sleeping in a research place somewhere in this garrison.
In the first place, there was no reason to do research related to black magic in this allied camp.
There will be much more facilities at the temple and security is easy.
Coming to the Allied Garrison in the first place was a mistake.
If you want to know the truth of what the empire is doing, you have to go to the temple, not this place.
Is Anna really related or is Louis Ankton related too?
If it’s even related to Christina, what the hell are you doing?
There is a possibility that what I thought would be a Death Knight would be very different from what I thought, and I couldn’t predict what it would be.
Should I really check it out?
If so, how?
* * *
It was only when I confirmed that Louis Ankton and Christina were gone that I felt my eyes shifted to one side.
I thought that the source of the lonely atmosphere in the Royal Class Garrison was the aftermath of the Battle of Serandia.
In addition, it was winter and the weather was cold, so I thought that there were many people in the barracks.
But that’s not the case, there really weren’t many people, so it gave off a lonely atmosphere.
During the winter, the garrison will not move, and the threat of monsters is low because Serandia, the core monster haunt area, has been suppressed.
Royal Class personnel receive special treatment. So, he was making accommodations for those who wanted to go back to the temple and spend the winter.
Looking at the soldiers who seemed to have been on vacation in the ecliptic, I couldn’t reach the idea that there would be such people in the royal class.
If you know one, you know ten, but if you know one, you know only one.
It is unknown if any related experiments are actually being conducted at the Temple.
However, since the circumstances of Anna’s return to the Temple are almost certain, the possibility that the experiment, if any, is being conducted at the Temple, rather than the Allied garrison, is very high.
The temple is much better in terms of facilities and security, but there is no need to conduct dangerous experiments in the snowy Allied Garrison.
It’s funny.
If it’s a vacation or vacation, it’s normal to leave school.
The situation is like this, so students take a vacation and go back to school.
I finally look at the sluggish Royal Class Garrison properly.
What is going on?
How should I check it?

Bertus was in the imperial castle.
Imperial Palace Central Palace The office of Emperor Tetra.
Bertus begins reading the report.
For a while, Bertus was silent.
Saviolin Tana did not open her mouth either.
The emperor, who was silent for a long time, opened his mouth briefly.
“If heaven punishes those who commit crimes against Lord Tanah, what kind of punishment should I receive?”
terrible thing.
It was something beyond words.
The greatest sinner in the world would be Bertus, since the crime of the one who ordered it would be greater than the one who did it himself.
God’s punishment for such a person shouldn’t end with just taking his life.
Bertus wondered what a punishment worse than death could be.
“Your Majesty, all of this is for the future and well-being of mankind. Your Majesty has made a decision for humanity. You cannot call this a sin.”
“Do you really think so?”
It was an overly exemplary answer.
“… … .”
Just because it’s necessary doesn’t mean it’s not a sin.
Both Tanah and Bertus knew that these were just words to comfort the emperor.
That’s why Tana couldn’t answer Bertus’ overly direct question.
Because you can’t cover the sky with your palms.
“Well, there wouldn’t be a heavenly punishment in the first place, so I just said it.”
If God watches the world, why is there a sin in the first place and why did the gate crisis happen?
“Coming to think of it, it seems funny even if there is no punishment.”
“That’s funny… … ?”
“If you give a trial that cannot be overcome without sin and then the judgment comes, what kind of nonsense trick is that?”
“… … .”
“If there is no punishment or reward, why did this have to happen in the first place? What on earth did the gods throw this into the world for?”
“… … .”
“Well, the gods have no interest in the world anymore. That’s what I’m thinking now, but… … .”
Bertus clicked his tongue briefly.
“I’m sorry, Sir Tana. It looks like I’m upset. useless talk… … .”
Bertus washed his face several times.
scourge.
There is no such thing in the world.
Then why is there a sin?
Who is to blame for the sin?
Who bears the burden and who is to be punished?
“By the way, did you figure out what the Templars were doing?”
“… … It was not clear which group was involved. There are also issues where we cannot inspect the site.”
Not too long ago, Bertus had also received a report that the tombs of saints under the headquarters of the Knights Templar had been destroyed.
Cemeteries were destroyed and ashes stolen.
“It looks like Illion Bolton will return to the ecliptic soon.”
“… … I guess so.”
The work of the Templars is the work of the Templars.
Hoping that this won’t spark a spark in the wrong place, Bertus looks at the tea that has cooled down.
“One of my classmates was killed and another was crippled.”
“yes… … .”
dead classmate.
and a crippled classmate.
“I know that Ludwig’s stubbornness is not normal.”
“Yes that’s right.”
Saviolin Tana had once watched Ludwig’s swordsmanship while serving as the dormitory supervisor to protect Charlotte.
Originally, it was an excuse to look at Reinhardt’s sword, but he had seen Ludwig for a long time, stubbornly asking for advice even after falling.
Likewise, I had seen Delphine before, but not in detail.
Delphine is dead and Ludwig has lost an arm.
Of course, Bertus knew everything about his classmates to some extent, if not specifically.
And not only during the Temple days, but as the gate incident broke out, Bertus was receiving all of his achievements.
Ludwig.
One of the four classmates who awakened to magical power enhancement without learning it.
Compared to the hero and the demon king, Ludwig was also an incomparable talent compared to his peers.
This guy belongs to the monsters.
If it wasn’t for the war, he was a guy with enough skills to be in a master class within a few years.
“I know you’re not the type to give up like that.”
“Perhaps.”
And not just skills, but personality.
Delphine, who was closest to him, died, and he was the one who was trying to choose dangerous battlefields throughout the Gate incident in the first place. So he wouldn’t give up the fight just because he lost an arm.
He is stubborn and will die.
Even without seeing it directly, Bertus knew what would happen in the future.
To prevent the dog death of a classmate.
before the fire moth burns out.
“Tell them to return to the temple.”
Bertus issues an imperial mandate.
* * *
There are beings in the world who don’t need to convince or convince anyone.
To make someone come, you just have to say come, and to let someone go, you just have to say go.
Bertus is such a being.
The world has become like this, but it is still so, at least in the land of men.
Standing at the crossroads of whether or not to fight more in resentment and despair, Ludwig, who said he needed time to think through Cliffman’s rants, friends’ persuasion, and teacher’s advice, soon faced a coercion.
“It’s His Majesty’s imperial order to return to the Ludwig Temple.”
The emperor’s orders were delivered from Miss Mustang’s mouth.
“If you go to the warp spot and deliver this document, you will be able to return to the ecliptic.”
“… … .”
Mr. Mustang told me in detail where the warp spot was located within the Allied Garrison and who to find.
It’s embarrassing.
Hwangmyung doesn’t come down randomly.
No matter how much he was a classmate, he was injured and would definitely be stubborn to fight, so the direct request of the emperor to return to the temple in good faith is tantamount to showing how kind the emperor is.
Even if it was a royal class that you didn’t have to worry about, he even gave an empress directly to the crippled student.
It’s something that should be closed.
No persuasion from people, no face-to-face view of reality, no process of convincing Ludwig to accept it and quietly return.
go back
With that word, Bertus could force Ludwig’s actions, and Ludwig had no choice.
Mr. Mustang was also very impressed that Berthus, who had become emperor, took care of Ludwig directly like this.
However, seeing Ludwig’s hard expression, Mr. Mustang’s expression could not help but harden gradually.
“It is Emperor Ludwig. It’s not something you can deny. you know?”
A hesitant attitude.
This is the Emperor’s consideration.
The moment you refuse, even if your throat flies off, you have nothing to say.
coercive care.
“Yes, teacher. I know. of course… … .”
Ludwig quietly nodded.
Mr. Mustang let out a sigh of relief, not knowing that Ludwig might say something serious.
Ludwig, receiving the documents containing the Emperor’s edict, gazed at it.
No matter how much Ludwig wants to leave this battlefield, he knows that he cannot refuse this order from the emperor.
I really can’t help it now.
What must be accepted must be accepted.
There is no place for yourself on this battlefield, and many people are trying to leave the battlefield like this because they are considerate of themselves.
I can’t deny it any longer.
“Even if I return to the ecliptic, there must be something I can do, right?”
“Then I told you. There will be many places that need you. Because I have friends who are in the dorm right now. You won’t be lonely.”
Mr. Mustrang thought that Ludwig might be stubborn, so he smiled brightly at Ludwig’s words and nodded.
A lot of stubbornness, obsession, and a desire to fight.
The short resolution and resolution to kill the demon king with my own hands are eventually broken by the will of others.
At the end of the Emperor’s order, Ludwig must leave the battlefield.
* * *
I didn’t have to say a long goodbye.
straight the next day.
Ludwig briefly exchanged greetings with the seniors and juniors of the Royal Class, packed only the things he needed to pack, and headed to the warp point.
Lanian Sesor and Scarlett followed Ludwig to the end to see him off.
“There is Cristina, Louis, Anna, and Dettomorian, right? So you won’t be bored.”
“Sure.”
“Be well, Ludwig.”
“thank you.”
Ludwig’s loss of an arm happened while saving Scarlett. In the end, Ludwig had to leave because of her, so Scarlett’s expression was filled with guilt.
“Don’t be sorry, Scarlett.”
“Ludwig… … .”
The more she hears such words, the more Scarlett suffers.
decided to leave the battlefield.
So there should be no regrets.
As Mr. Mustang said, even in the ecliptic, Ludwig thinks he has work to do.
Whatever it is, since their work is not trivial, they believe that they can do something about not fighting in this war.
The emperor’s order is something to be thankful for, and there is no reason for division.
If one day I met the emperor, I would have to kneel down in gratitude.
The wizards in charge of the warp between the people and transports returning to the ecliptic from the warp spot start casting mass teleports.
Beyond the boundaries of the warp spot, Ludwig beckons to his friends who remain on the battlefield.
“You have to be safe. please.”
Death is a sad thing.
The only thing left for him now is to pray for the well-being of his friends in the distant ecliptic.
Although it is sad.
Knowing that there is no place for him now, Ludwig leaves.
“Yes, Ludwig too.”
I will fight for your share and I will survive to the end.
Scarlett said that to Ludwig several times, and Lanian Sesor also waved to Ludwig until the long, long mass teleport casting was over.
Mass teleport casting takes time.
It’s not a magic that anyone can use, and it’s different from transporting people and supplying materials at the same time, so it’s activated at regular intervals.
So, until the mass teleport was activated at the warp spot, Ludwig could see supplies and people arriving one after another to be sent to the ecliptic one by one.
It was the first time that Ludwig came to a warp spot like this because he had never returned to the ecliptic since his campaign.
However, even Ludwig, who had never been to the warp spot, had no choice but to know that the situation was unusual.
‘… … The Templars?’
Gathering in the warp spot were not only soldiers who returned to the ecliptic to spend the winter, but also paladins.
That’s as far as it can be.
However, the number of paladins was far greater than that of others.
‘Am I going back to the captain?’
In addition, the commander of the Knights Templar, Ileion Boelton.
Ludwig also had no choice but to know to some extent the faces of the heads of big groups.
Ludwig couldn’t help but feel a bizarre sense of incongruity when he saw all of them’ expressions seriously hardened.
did something happen
That wasn’t the end.
-Ellen… … ?
-Is Ellen going back too?
-Yeah, I’m going back for a while.
Ellen was approaching from afar, and Ranian Sesor and Scarlett, who noticed it, tilted their heads.
Naturally, the eyes of the others had no choice but to move to Ellen.
The hero Ellen Artorius approaches the warp spot in plain clothes, not the usual formal armor.
Since Ellen was an exception in many ways, she should have been able to freely use warp spots that required permission from the headquarters.
However, it is different from the usual Ellen that everyone sees.
He is holding something in his right hand.
-Aye!
– Buck buck!
-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Inside the unexpected cage held in Ellen’s right hand, a black cat that looked very embarrassed was spinning around in place and crying.
-It will be safe to raise them in the ecliptic, so I’m going to leave them there.
– I see.
– Indeed, it is.
-Cow!
Ellen hugged the cage as if it were precious, and the cat was spinning around in the narrow cage with its eyes wide open.
