The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 608

Chapter 608

Rowen is not dead.

He tried to gain time by faking death.

However, all of Rowen’s men were killed by the Paladins sent by Ileion Bolton. There is a chance that a few of his men survived, but only a handful after all.

If Rowen is up to something, what is he up to and what can he do?

Rowen is gone.

However, since it cannot have left the ecliptic, it is certain that it is somewhere on the ecliptic.

But where is it?

I made a secret pact with the Five Major Orders, and the commander of the Knights Templar is reluctant, but I can’t go against the popes, so I have to cooperate with me.

“A password document… … .”

“Yes, detoxification is in progress.”

Fortunately, not all of the records in Rowen’s temple were lost.

It might have something to do with the current situation, and it might tell you what Rowen has been up to. Now, Ileion Boelton has recovered the records from the basement of the temple and is deciphering them. Fortunately, there is no way that the records of the heretic inquisitors could not be deciphered inside the Templars. It just takes time.

Yeah its time to fuck.

“There is no guarantee that nothing will happen until the work is done.”

Even if it is a document that can be deciphered, there is no difference even if it is the same length of text.

Rowen shouldn’t be put into action until he’s guessed what Rowen can do in the piles of paperwork.

Do you have enough time for that? There may or may not be.

It’s not impossible that Rowen didn’t plan something, but just went into hiding.

“It’s not at all unpredictable what you’re going to do.”

Those were the words of the Pope of the Tuan Church.

“What are you talking about?”

“It might have been in the past, but now is not the time to kill heretics carelessly. Especially in the hands of the Order.”

“… … Do you think it kills well for something like that?”

“… … .”

“No, I didn’t mean to insult you. It’s just my habit. What is it, tell me quickly.”

I feel sick to my stomach watching old friends get mad at me for saying things that I shouldn’t have to say.

Certainly the Pope was not wrong. Now that heresy has become the mainstream, it is impossible to eradicate the entire heresy, even though it is possible to catch, torture, and kill a few heretics. Because carnage is bound to happen.

“It would have been nice if they could be eradicated, but they are fundamentally impossible to eradicate. Because it keeps happening.”

“I guess so.”

“I couldn’t eradicate the inevitably arising heretics, nor could I reform them.”

“By the way, if the Imperial Capital is running heretic inquisitors, doesn’t that mean they did something?”

“If we can’t stop heresy, I wanted to know the size of heresy. If there is a core, who it is, where it goes and how far it goes. Things like that.”

It seemed clear to Ileion Bolton that this was the first time he had heard such a story.

This is what happens inside the ecliptic. It was clear that he had not been thoroughly informed about the internal affairs of the imperial capital until now.

I thought I knew what the Pope of the Tuan Church meant.

Bertus had said this before.

Organized crime is inevitable.

Underlying demand must be met, and supply to meet it occurs, and supply is inevitably organized.

He said that if eradicating organized crime would only lead to other organizations, it would be best to have control in the end.

Back then, Bertus asked me if I had any plans to become a thieves guild master.

Is it the same in this case?

The fundamental reason why heresy occurs is distrust of the main denomination. Unless the distrust is resolved, catching and killing the infidels cannot be a fundamental solution. Other heresies will inevitably arise.

Therefore, the choice of the popes was not to exterminate or eliminate heresy.

Figuring out their size and scope.

The focus was on a close understanding of the power of heresy itself. Even if you can’t get rid of them, just being clear about their whereabouts will help.

There are too many heretics.

So, instead of eradicating them, they chose another method.

By owning a criminal organization, Bertus tried to gain control over crime itself.

Would the popes have a different opinion?

“Rowen was controlling key figures among the cultists.”

You don’t have to win everyone’s hearts. If you could only control the heads of each pagan faction, it was tantamount to having everything.

Ileion Bolton looks at the Tuan Church Pope.

“… … Are you saying that the main church is actually behind the heresy and the Cult of the Brave?”

“You can see it that way.”

The times are chaotic, and the Heretic Inquisitors don’t work like they used to.

The main church was not judging heresy, but holding heresy in its grasp. The Popes made that decision and it was Rowen who was in charge.

The main church was behind the heretics, and Rowen was, so to speak, the field manager who oversaw the work.

She was pursuing a dangerous task and was purged for refusing the order of the Templar Commander.

In fact, Rowen would hate not only the cult of warriors, but also the demonic cult.

However, due to the inevitability of paganism, it has been working for a long time to identify the pagan powers of the ecliptic and put their heads in their hands.

In this era, the true master of pagans is not someone who deceives people by establishing a faith that can embrace all.

“In the end, it sounds like Rowen is the owner of all cults, but it’s a little different, doesn’t it? Strictly speaking, it’s not a religious leader, but isn’t it something like a religious leader?”

If you can control all the cultists, isn’t that the de facto leader?

Ileion Boelton decided he had to kill Rowen, who was trying to uncover the truth that might come into direct conflict with the Empire.

However, he was completely unaware of the dangers of Rowen itself.

The Popes were wary of giving too much information to Ileion Bolton to keep him in check.

A trivial quarrel. and fear of each other.

The ending was heading for catastrophe.

The world was so strange that the Heretic Inquisitor, who was supposed to kill and reform heretics, became the master of heresy.

And what will Rowen, who has been abandoned by the main church to which he now swore allegiance, try to do now?

Rowen will be in a refugee camp.

They will try to do something with the cultists.

That night.

Three second-year students from Class B, including Louis, Christina, and Anna, returned to the dormitory after a long absence.

It wasn’t for a long break.

It was because Ludwig could not do something for Ludwig now that he knew the truth.

lost arm.

it can be reversed

“It’s easier said than done.”

But unlike the other two, who said returning the arm was the basic procedure, Cristina brought Ludwig in and immediately gave him a negative outlook.

Cristina was talking to the emperor separately at the time, so she was later informed of what Anna and Louis had said to Ludwig. That’s why he returned to the Burinake dormitory like this.

“I heard it was painful. I’ve also heard of rejection. But it’s okay. I can bear it.”

You can find your lost arm again and fight.

Ludwig was hoping that he would be able to do something too.

Problems such as rejection and pain had already been fully explained by Anna and Louis.

However, if the chimera procedure was to be performed, it would be done by Christina herself.

“Ludwig. That’s not the problem.”

“No… … ?”

“Of course, it can be easy in some cases. If it’s something you just have to put up with… … . Neither the side effects nor the rejection reaction. If you’re willing to endure the pain, you’ll be fine.”

Isn’t that what happens?

Cristina looks at Ludwig and says, as if she knows what Ludwig is thinking.

“I’m not going to give you the leg of a rabbit or a deer cow. What you saw is a rabbit. It’s a rabbit, not a human. It was a procedure of cutting off a live rabbit’s leg, cutting off another rabbit’s leg, and attaching it.”

“… … huh.”

“Attracting your right arm through the chimera procedure means cutting off someone else’s arm and attaching it to it. Ludwig, are you okay?”

“… … !”

At those words, Ludwig’s eyes widened.

It’s not a simple matter.

Body parts are not created.

The chimera procedure is to make things that do not mesh together. Inevitably, then, Ludwig’s new arm must be someone else’s.

Christina is telling Ludwig that.

If it’s just cutting off someone’s arm and attaching it, it’s easy.

“Of course you wouldn’t want that. However, there are many bodies in the lab that have failed to be restored. like you saw Because it’s not perfect. Then, inevitably, the arms of the non-resurrected corpses will be transplanted among the reconstructed corpses. It’s the arm of a corpse.”

“like that… … . It works… … .”

The new arm you will acquire is, of course, someone else’s, not your own.

A living person’s arm cannot be used, and what remains in the laboratory is the arm of a corpse that has failed to be restored.

“It’s covered in black magic, sobriety, and strengthening procedures. It’s not an ordinary arm. It looks like a human arm, but it is not a human arm.”

It looks like a human arm, but it is something else that is no longer a human arm.

“Didn’t you think the bodies being restored were too fine?”

“uh… … ?”

“Most of them are dead. those who died in battle. If you die in battle… … . Most of the limbs are broken or crushed.”

Only then did Ludwig realize that he hadn’t thought at all about the pristine appearance of the corpses in the port being restored.

There were no severed limbs, and everything had been perfectly restored.

“In the first place, if such technology could be used on a person, I would have said that it would regenerate your arm rather than transplanting another arm to you.”

A corpse can be regenerated, but why can’t a living person be regenerated?

I should have asked that question first.

“The living will not even get past that process. In the first place, this magic… … . That is why it is difficult to use for the living.”

A look of pain appeared on Christina’s face.

If regeneration is possible, regeneration is not performed.

Regeneration is not something that can be used on people who were originally alive.

And what has been reproduced is also not something that can be attached to a living person.

“Ludwig, if you ask, I might be able to attach an arm other than that of the corpse. Do you want to receive it?”

“no… … . No, I don’t want that.”

Ludwig could never do the crazy thing of cutting off a normal person’s arm and attaching it.

“I wouldn’t really say no, Ludwig. The important thing is, I don’t know what the outcome of such an operation will be. And I don’t even want to.”

After Cristina finished speaking, she looked at Anna and Louis.

Clearly, they weren’t lying. Chimera treatment can restore lost arms.

Only under the premise that it is the arm of a living person.

I mentioned chimera treatment because I thought Ludwig might be acting strangely.

They were not unaware of the risks.

However, thinking that Ludwig might try to take his own life, he mentioned chimera treatment.

However, no one knows if the transplanted person will be able to withstand it.

The by-products of magic for the dead are transplanted into the living.

Ludwig had no choice but to show that he had received hope with a firm expression, but then had it taken away.

Seeing that expression, Cristina bites her lip.

“Ludwig, if you really want to do that… … . I can do it for you. But if you die… … . I will never bring you back.”

If you die during the procedure, you may think that you want to fight as a resurrected corpse afterwards.

That’s why Christina firmly nailed it, saying that unlike Asher, you shouldn’t try to undergo the procedure with the intention of dying.

“Okay… … . okay.”

In front of Ludwig with a bewildered expression, Louis and Anna had no choice but to lower their heads with a firm expression.
