The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 606

Chapter 606

Even if nobody talked about the demon king in front of Ellen, the name Reinhardt was not easily mentioned.

Because everyone knows that’s Ellen’s evil.

Christina just crossed the taboo.

Even if it was Reinhardt who died rather than Ashur, are you confident that you wouldn’t try to revive him like I did?

From the look on his face when he said that.

From those eyes, I couldn’t help but know that Christina already hated Ellen.

Nothing is hidden anymore in this hideous laboratory.

malice.

hate.

Hatred.

Everything that has been hidden is revealed.

“Why are you saying that?”

Christina’s lips went up at Ellen’s words.

“You had a special relationship with Reinhardt.”

“… … .”

“I still think so. no?”

Ellen’s eyes widened and everyone held their breath.

Everyone in the royal class knows that Ellen is in agony to even hear that name, and that it’s painful to hear that she will have to fight the Demon King someday.

No one took it out in front of Ellen and directly provoked it.

It was Christina’s first time to say this directly.

The things I had endured until now, as if I was narrowly okay, collapsed.

In a disgusting, terrifying, terrifying sight.

The boundary between the truth that we pretended not to know each other is collapsing.

“Calm down Christina.”

Bertus, who was worse off, approached Christina, but Christina shook her head.

“I heard about that a while ago.”

Cristina gritted her teeth and glared at Ellen.

“All of this happened because of just a few people.”

“… … .”

“I heard it wasn’t because of the demon king.”

“… … .”

“Do you have anything to say about it?”

Cristina glares at Ellen as if demanding an answer.

someone you already know.

But there are still people who don’t know.

Ellen doesn’t know that she has to lie outright because of them.

“… … doesn’t exist.”

“okay?”

There are people in this place who do not know the truth.

I don’t know how or why Christina heard the story.

Ellen was certain that more people would not know the story.

“You are so shameless… … .”

“stop.”

When Cristina tried to shoot, Bertus, who was worse, blocked the gap between them.

“You must have seen enough of what Ellen wants to see, right? How about going back first?”

“… … .”

Ellen just kept her mouth shut.

“Sir Tana, please see Ellen.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Everyone was confused by the sudden battle of nerves and unknown conversations.

“I think we need to talk to Christina for a minute.”

Cristina smiled and nodded at Bertus’ bloody-looking words.

“It’s good.”

Rather, it was as if he had been waiting for the words to come out.

* * *

Ellen was taken out of the Magic College by the hand of Saviolin Tana.

At least the people Ellen had been able to talk to about Reinhardt were people who knew the truth.

It was only about Charlotte or Bertus and Saviolin Tana.

However, even bringing out the words was painful for each other, so we did not bring it up as a topic.

But today, Cristina suddenly brought that name to the fore.

And it gave off a nuance that seemed to know about everything.

There was no reason Bertus would tell the truth that others would not benefit from knowing. Then how the hell did Cristina find out?

If Christina knows, do Louis Ancton and Anna know the truth too?

And was silence really the right choice?

It didn’t take long to see that Louise von Schwarz was a straight-minded person.

But learning the truth about the Gates scandal is another matter entirely.

It is not simply hypocrisy to cover up one’s sins, but a problem that could divide the entire human race if it is misunderstood.

That’s why I thought it was the right decision to be silent.

An unknown black and dark emotion welled up inside him, but he knew full well that it was a mistake to respond to Christina’s words.

They were trying to raise the dead and using the dead as dead.

it would be a sin

However, if it hadn’t been for the Gate incident, there would have been no such crime.

If so, isn’t it that he, the cause of all sins, has committed the greatest sin?

Shouldn’t you have the right to say something bad or say something wrong about someone’s fault?

No wonder Christina suddenly reacted like that.

To Christina, who thinks Ashur wouldn’t have died if it wasn’t for you.

Ashur is dead and can’t be revived. Stop it.

I couldn’t help but be furious to hear that.

But it didn’t mean that.

It didn’t mean that I didn’t sin anymore.

I meant to say don’t do it because it’s bothering you and it’s destroying you.

It wasn’t to reprimand her, but because she didn’t want Cristina to get hurt any more.

But I know that Cristina couldn’t help but be furious when she heard that.

Ellen had no choice but to go back to the dormitory, being led by Tana with her teeth clenched.

I didn’t know what I needed to know, and I only knew what I shouldn’t have known.

* * *

Ellen was led out of the lab by Saviolin Tana.

Bertus went somewhere to talk with Cristina, who had said something she seemed to know but didn’t know.

Therefore, even within the laboratory, Ludwig and Heinrich Louis are in the quarantine zone. And Louis and Anna remained.

Containment lab’s break room.

The five of them sat around in uncomfortable silence, unable to say anything.

Everyone couldn’t say anything.

Even those who have come to show a side they don’t want anyone to see.

Those who saw what they were not supposed to see couldn’t bear to say anything for their own reasons.

Among them, it was Louise who was in the most serious trouble.

He decided that the pursuit of Rowen’s death might be dangerous for Ellen, so he helped.

But Rowen’s death, according to the Emperor, had nothing to do with the Empire. However, I learned the secret of the empire that I shouldn’t know.

Louise’s confusion is a matter aside from the shock and fear she feels at this sight.

The very fact that he was able to ‘see’ this scene.

Louise couldn’t understand that now.

Nominally, the relationship between the vassals and the empire, but throughout its long history, the kingdom of Schwartz wanted to surpass the empire at any time.

Louise knows that the royal family has had such aspirations for generations, and the empire is also aware of it, and knows that the empire has been holding the Schwartz family in check for a long time.

Now is the time to face the crisis of mankind, so he had absolutely no intention of publicizing the injustice and corruption of the empire as before.

However, after everything is resolved, this becomes the weakness of the Empire.

Of course, the emperor might have let Louise see this scene because he was so confident in the military power he would secure from this incident.

But is there any need to show this weakness?

It would have been better not to show it.

The Emperor did not seem to feel any discomfort at Louise seeing this spectacle.

It was strange that he was able to enter the temple in the first place.

If he had been the emperor, he would have prevented Louise from entering the temple in the first place. There must have been plenty of reasons to deny entry.

‘Does it matter if I see this scene?’

The emperor’s intentions are unknown.

And what Cristina just said.

I didn’t even know what he meant by the words that seemed to interrogate Ellen.

Heinrich couldn’t help but recall what he had heard from the demon king.

There’s something people don’t know about the Gate debacle.

The demon king didn’t want the gate situation either.

It is inevitable that the Emperor, Ellen and Cristina know about the truth.

Just as Louise was confused, everyone else was confused as well.

“As Christina said, Asher… … . Can you save me?”

It was Ludwig’s careful question to Anna and Louis, who were silent.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The silence and expression of the two already said a lot. Cristina is tackling the impossible.

“It’s about black magic. Magic that uses impure mana as its source… … . It cannot be a force for the living… … .”

Anna added cautiously.

“I can restore it like that, stronger than when I was alive, but… … . You can’t really make it alive… … .”

Anna, whose understanding of black magic is incomparable to Christina’s, already knew that Christina would not reach the desired outcome.

If you know that, no one can say that you can dry it. Even without saying that, I can guess that these two would have tried to stop Christina.

“It’s getting stronger… … ? More than when you were alive?”

Louis nodded at Ludwig’s doubtful question. Louis Ancton opens his mouth with the expression of a sinner with his teeth slightly clenched and his head bowed.

“… … It looks like it’s alive, but it’s not.”

“Just like golems, like titans… … . There is no difference.”

“It was restored to its state when the body was perfect. It’s not actually alive. therefore… … . It can be expanded a bit more.”

Heinrich asked Louis’ words.

“expansion… … Do you?”

“You know that if you strengthen your magic power before the magic circuit is fully established, your body will not be able to withstand the load and will break down.”

“I don’t know if I should… … .”

Heinrich looked at Ludwig while saying that.

“that’s right. whopping… … . It’s painful.”

Ludwig had been ill for several days after awakening from magical power enhancement, so he vividly remembered the pain at that time.

“Because pain doesn’t matter to the dead.”

“ah… … .”

Subjects do not feel pain.

Therefore, beyond restoring the body from when it was alive, it is possible to strengthen the elements necessary to express the power inside the body, including the magic circuit.

You will be able to overcome the limits of your body as a life.

In other words, to transform. When you die, you will be able to exert a level of power that you could not exert during your lifetime.

A living person can bestow unbearable strength. It’s a cruel word, but in the end it’s not much different from handling things. That’s why it’s to make a weapon that only needs to be powerful to be more powerful.

Not the same as they were in life, but stronger beings.

Such an army was being formed.

“Are you sure you need a corpse?”

It was Louise’s question. It is a great magic beyond perfection, except that a corpse is used just by hearing it.

It’s perfect if there’s no moral issue with the use of corpses.

“It could be like making a homunculus. but… … . At this point, that way… … .”

“It’s a story that you can’t power up in a short time.”

“yes… … .”

The homunculus experiment itself was also a representative taboo, so it could not be said that it also had no moral problems.

Do you have no choice but to touch taboos in order to somehow get over the miserable days? If you can save the world by selling your soul to the devil, there are countless people willing to do so.

So maybe it’s inevitable.

There are those who have sold their souls to the devil.

And seeing that they have sold their souls to the devil, they are silent.

The emperor said he had no intention of stopping this, and Louise could only know that she couldn’t stop it.

Did the emperor think that there would be no problem even if he saw this scene because he knew that this could not be prevented even if he confirmed it with his own eyes?

Still didn’t know the answer.

While such uncomfortable and sinful questions and answers were being exchanged.

“When you die, you become stronger… … .”

Ludwig blankly looked down at the table and muttered.

At that sudden statement, not only Louis, but also Anna, Heinrich, and Louise couldn’t help but flinch.

“Don’t think about it.”

Heinrich spoke to Ludwig with a straight face.

Everyone knows that Ludwig still wants to fight.

Therefore, Ludwig’s words had no choice but to stimulate everyone’s ominous imagination.

resurrecting the dead

Even stronger than before.

Ludwig muttered blankly.

“Now I am of no use.”

Everyone knew that Ludwig was self-torturing beyond self-blame.

“There was nothing I could do. The people who killed the priest were not caught in the end… … . I had no part in getting here. There are things you can do stupidly. I was just satisfied with that.”

Rowen is dead. And still the culprit has not been caught.

But Ludwig didn’t do anything about coming this far. I just followed Ellen around.

In the first place, Rowen was not a good person or anything, just like Ludwig had thought, but a person who captured, killed and tortured civilians.

Even though he was being used by Rowen, he didn’t even know he was being used.

Even though there were definitely strange moments, I didn’t doubt it.

I was just thinking that I was doing something to make the world better.

And in the end, I saw something even if it had nothing to do with Rowen’s death.

magic that brings the dead back to life. Magic that makes you stronger than before.

This kind of thing shouldn’t exist in the world.

However, Ludwig had no choice but to know that this was necessary and that it could end the war more quickly.

useless existence.

But Ludwig says that and smiles bitterly.

“are you okay. I don’t want anything like that. Do you want to die and fight? No one has to make that choice… … . I know nobody’s happy just… … . Because of helplessness… … .”

That’s what they say, but everyone knows that Ludwig rather wants that.

There are people who will grieve and despair when they die. Haven’t you already seen Christina’s figure?

I don’t want to go out as a corpse because I want to be helpful to someone and go out to the battlefield again.

As long as there are people who care about him, Ludwig doesn’t even want that.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they saw Ludwig, who made everyone feel bad for a moment.

“… … Say something strange.”

“Sorry… … .”

Heinrich had even thought that Ludwig might be found somewhere suddenly taking his own life.

And if Ludwig does something like that, it’s up to Anna, Louis, and Christina to bring Ludwig back to life.

As I did with Ashur, my friends may be further ruined after an attempt to revive them for real.

Ludwig had no intention of doing such a crazy thing or asking for it. It was just a possibility that popped into my head.

But even when Ludwig said he had no intention of doing that, he couldn’t help but feel insecure, just like Heinrich did.

A personality close to obsession with wanting to help someone.

I was starting to feel more and more that I had a twisted mind that didn’t look good on its own.

Heinrich was a class A student.

Anna and Louis, who saw Ludwig up close, couldn’t help but be more afraid.

Ludwig is kind and considerate of others, but there were times when he literally acted like an idiot.

He doesn’t say he wants to fight even if he dies right now, but you never know how Ludwig’s thoughts will change later.

And we all have the same idea that we don’t want to lose any more friends.

Louis Ankton looked at Ludwig quietly and said.

“… … Ludwig.”

“Yeah, I really don’t think like that. Don’t worry… … .”

“There is something I want to show you.”

Looking at Louis with a determined expression, Anna nodded her head with a firm expression as if she knew what she was talking about.

“You want to show me?”

Ludwig couldn’t help but feel discouraged, wondering if he was about to see a more terrible sight.

“Here we… … . It’s not just about reviving Ashir.”

Even in the underground laboratory, it is a place that corresponds to the deepest part.

Louis took the lead, saying that the three here were doing something different from the other researchers, and that different work wasn’t necessarily just reviving people.
