The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 615

Chapter 615

Ellen quietly returned home with her party.

Realizing something, he took Ludwig, who had gone out of his mind, and disappeared.

“You’ve got really bad luck.”

Olivia smiled at Rowen’s words.

“I am convinced that we have such a curse. Scenes that you really don’t want to be seen are always exposed. unlucky.”

“Haha, isn’t it possible that every moment is a scene you really don’t want to see?”

“I guess that makes sense.”

In the conference room that became a sea of blood, Olivia was watching Rowen clean up the scene.

I was in the process of wiping, cleaning, and arranging the scattered pieces of meat with a rag and a broom as a prayer for purification.

“If you’re going to clean it up so hard, you’ll just twist your neck. Why did you make a mess?”

“People like this shouldn’t die easily. So it bothered me a bit.”

“… … How do you think someone like you will die?”

“I’ll think about that then.”

“It’s good to sell.”

“Even if you sell it, it should be good.”

Rowen, who smiled and cleaned up the sea of blood, and Olivia, who stared at the scene and did not help in the slightest, were not people who could be called sane.

“What happened to Ileion Bolton?”

“If you go back, if you don’t go back as you went back, you will be treated as if you couldn’t go back.”

“thank god.”

Even if he intercepted Ileion Boelton returning to the Allied Forces, he was prepared even if he could not.

It is impossible for Ileion Bolton to safely return to the camp and lead the army back to the ecliptic.

“I won’t kill Ileion Bolton. Any complaints?”

“I don’t know about the complaints, but won’t there be any regrets left?”

“I will send you to a place where there will be no return.”

“Isn’t it possible to send exile?”

“Guiyang will provide you with a nice house in a place with good water and a beautiful view, and let you spend the rest of your life comfortably. It’s just that you can’t use anyone yourself and you can’t be used. I don’t know anything else, but wouldn’t that nobleman have the right to die comfortably in old age?”

“It’s not something I would say when I almost died from that person, but I do.”

Ileion Bolton will spend the rest of his life in Edina.

Rowen smiled brightly, knowing what Olivia meant.

“Anyway, it looks like you’ve found a new home somewhere.”

“Do you want to go see it?”

“sure.”

“Look.”

“I will do my best.”

No matter how you look at it, he is a crazy person who is cold to the taste, but his loyalty to the devil is as real as he is.

It had been a few days since Olivia had seen Rowen.

However, he treated Rowen very kindly.

“I know you like Reinhardt, but why do you like me?”

“You are one of the people who believed in you when no one believed in you.”

“… … ah.”

Rowen claims to be a follower of the Demon King, but when he first saw the Demon King, he thought the words he served were lies.

My thoughts changed the moment the gate incident occurred and everything went as predicted by the demon king.

Therefore, from Rowen’s point of view, he had no choice but to consider the three people who believed in the demon king from beginning to end as almost equal to the demon king.

“I wonder if it was really necessary to kill the popes.”

Olivia sighed heavily.

“They will not accept the Holy Order. It is still difficult for me to accept that the demonic religion and the main cult have the same roots. But will these old Popes be that?”

“It doesn’t.”

Prior to learning of the demon king’s contact, Rowen’s idea was to add two more denominations to the five major denominations.

It causes chaos in the refugee camp, induces massacre, and maximizes antipathy against the Empire.

Then, they take control of the main religious order and reorganize it into a form that includes the Demonic Church and the Heroic Church in the Temple Knights and the Five Great Main Churches.

I didn’t think it would work out. And there were no specific plans.

I just knew that the moment the five main denominations expanded, great chaos would occur.

What Rowen wanted was destruction.

But just in time, the Demon King appeared.

What the demon king wanted was not confusion.

Rowen wished for destruction, but the Demon King did not wish for it, so the work to be done has changed.

Rowen’s plans come to a halt, but he can’t pick up what has already happened.

Carnage ensued, and resentment against the Empire reached its peak.

Along with the next stage, indiscriminate gigantism, there is no attempt to make the church itself into a bomb and explode it arbitrarily.

The Demon King is trying to reform his faith.

It’s not that I’m trying to cause chaos by recklessly stirring up the cult of warriors and the cult of demons like Rowen did.

In the name of the Divine Church.

Correct misunderstandings about the main god and the demon god.

Of course, the task is not easy either. In the end, it is also true that it becomes a bomb.

But this time, the designer of the bomb just doesn’t have the heart to explode it.

Therefore, it is not something that can happen so suddenly that the main denomination is converted into a new denomination in Edina.

It will take you slowly and gradually, step by step, over time.

“Even if the popes don’t accept our plan, it doesn’t mean that it was impossible to have them as puppets. Isn’t it just getting harder to fix? Who the hell is doing what these nobles have been doing so far? If five popes change, it’s suspicious. I have no intention of complaining more than Reinhardt said he did, but I don’t know if it was a good choice.”

“ah… … . I see what you mean.”

There are suddenly five vacancies for popes.

That’s why Reinhardt didn’t want confusion.

When Olivia asked if that in itself was adding to the chaos and causing the main church to creak, Rowen shook her head.

“It’s okay, because the popes didn’t work in the first place.”

“… … Was it just occupying a seat?”

“Of course, we did the work when we gave the order, but we didn’t actually do it. There was no real power. So, no popes, no problem. Rather, it will roll better.”

“If you have to order what you want to order and do what you are told to do from below, the Popes did the work and had real power. What are you talking about?”

“Did that order come from your own head?”

“hmm?”

At Rowen’s words, Olivia tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“Is the order given by a person who listens only to what the Auxiliary Bishops tell him, makes judgments according to their advice, is informed of the analysis, what the best option is, and repeats the words like a parrot?

“ah.”

“If you can control the information that goes into someone’s head, you can control their behavior and judgment. But that person would think that he judged and acted on his own. Surprisingly, it is easier to control the thoughts of stubborn old people.”

“Did you even control it?”

“Is it true that I was anxious and thought about everything, and in the end even came up with the idea that I should join the demon king… … . Was it the judgment of the popes?”

“her… … .”

“The demon king’s power is too strong in my ears. There are too many supporters of the Demon King even within the church. At this rate, the entire church might be handed over to the demon lord. There may be a coup d’état within the Church. The trend is like this these days. It is difficult to change that trend. If you keep whispering those words.”

Rowen laughs.

“What thoughts come to mind in the heads of old pigs who are busy preserving their place?”

“Of course, you would think that you made your own judgment and decided your position.”

“But what if there were actually a lot of supporters of the Demon King, but not as many as the popes had heard?”

“What if the people whispering next to you exaggerated, exaggerated, and even made up facts that weren’t there?”

“Could that really be his judgment?”

Humans make decisions through information.

But information is not synonymous with truth.

If the information given shows only one way, people go that way. Thinking that it is your own judgment.

I don’t think about who paved the way.

I don’t care who shows me the way.

That is why people regard it as their own judgment and decision, and walk without knowing that they are going the path that someone leads them.

The popes were nothing short of brainwashed.

And the Popes, now useless after contacting the Demon King, were killed.

And it’s not just them.

“Is it only the pope or what about the others?”

And so do others within the main church.

Positive public opinion about the devil and the story that the devil’s followers are emerging start to spread and people agree.

It may not have even existed in the first place.

It is not a trend, but it may have actually become a trend as it is known as a trend and there are people who jump on the bandwagon.

If Rowen’s words are true, the reason why the main church came over to the demon king started from a rumor spread by a few people.

Just as there is a saying that it becomes a trend because it is known as a trend.

It makes sense that the main church collapsed just because of rumors.

“I didn’t expect this outcome, but as a result, I was able to meet the Demon King thanks to such a judgment in the heads of the popes, so I guess I didn’t do anything in vain.”

“What were you originally going to do?”

“I wanted to make the main church support the demon king and fight the empire.”

“… … Do you know that Reinhardt hates you the most?”

“Wouldn’t it be weird if you liked someone like me? Rather, I think I would be scared if there were such people.”

“… … You feel bad too.”

“Holy Emperor.”

“Not yet, but why?”

“Ludwig must have been hurt.”

Olivia narrowed her brows at the sudden sound.

It seems that the memory of seeing it a few times is now coming up a little bit.

I wonder if this is the guy that Reinhard met during the Temple Tournament.

“… … Hearing those words from someone like you is so refreshing, right? So what? What is he?”

“Nothing.”

Rather, Rowen expresses it more harshly.

Ludwig is nothing.

Rowen said nothing more. However, Olivia recalls Ludwig’s expression.

That expression that seemed to have gained a miserable realization.

He had an expression that confirmed the truth that he had known implicitly through the mouth of another person.

he’s nothing

But isn’t this all because of people who are nothing?

Does that mean don’t hurt those who are nothing?

Or did he say that he didn’t know what could happen if he hurt innocent people?

maybe it’s the latter

“You mean you should have been more careful because it was nothing?”

“I was saying that it is better to kill than to injure.”

What happens when those who are nothing become nobody?

That was right in front of Olivia’s eyes.

* * *

The news of the murder of the popes of the main church did not spread anywhere. In the first place, outside activities were not frequent, so it was only a matter of controlling information only in the church.

All work was carried out quietly and quietly.

The change of the commander of the Knights Templar.

Olivia Ranze’s control map.

The sudden appearance of priests with powerful divine power.

their new teachings too.

All proceeded quietly and covertly.

It stopped snowing.

the day was over

Mild weather followed.

really suddenly.

The snow, which seemed to fall forever, stopped really suddenly, and the warm sun beat down on the ground like a lie.

The warm climate has arrived, almost at the level of late spring.

The frozen atmosphere of the ecliptic did not melt, but the snow melted.

like a lie

Everyone in the ecliptic could watch as everything melted as if it had snowed.

“You know you can’t stop when this happens, right?”

“know.”

The demon king was walking with Liana de Granz in a secluded park in the ecliptic, watching the wet snow melt and flow as a stream.

“You may be able to stop the massacre right now, but later you may have to kill more people with your own hands.”

“… … .”

“You don’t know that we’re putting things off until later because we’ve grown things up.”

“yes.”

The Empire used violence to quell riots in refugee camps.

Rowen was recruited to prevent the ominous atmosphere from degenerating into a bigger riot.

In return for enlisting Rowen, he was able to control the entire Templar Knights and the Main Order, as well as the refugee camp area, from behind the scenes.

But this is also a stopgap.

As if the massacre prevented the immediate collapse of the empire.

This happens because there can be no collapse of any group before the Gates event.

Destroying and absorbing an empire that has already lost legitimacy and justification will come after the Gate incident.

One day, the moment this thing comes to the surface, the demon king must repeat the same history.

even on a larger scale.

“Can you do that?”

“… … .”

Everyone knows that the dam will break someday, just plugging in the hole in order to endure the present.

Who blocks this time, who blocks the next time.

I know that I am only holding back the moment when the dam collapses.

“Is there something I did because I could do it?”

Also wielding a sword.

Also becoming a demon king.

Everything I’ve done so far hasn’t been done because I can.

It was what I had to do.

At the end of what I thought I had to do, the only thing I learned was the truth that I shouldn’t have done anything.

I still do what I have to do.

But after hearing that, Liana looks at the demon king and bites her lip.

“I can’t say I can do it after all.”

“… … .”

At those words, the demon king only laughed miserably.

“Poor bastard. Come here, sister will give you a hug.”

“go away.”

A brief spring has come to the ecliptic.

Snow and ice melt, but in the end nothing melts.

Such a fleeting spring.
