The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 44

“Your skin is so soft! Your hair is so soft!”

In the end, the mother, who fell in love with the cream puffs, gave her body to Dakia in exchange for guaranteed ownership of the bread in the bag.

Dacia was very excited and played with her mother, who was sitting on her lap, stroking her hair, and poking her cheek very carefully.

Well well.

Mother focused on chewing the cream puffs with a sullen face, whether Dakia was kidding or not.

“Can I feed you myself?”

At the question she asked with a smirk, her mother raised her head, looked at Dakia, and then quietly raised the middle finger of her left hand. Dacia played a prank by tying her mother’s hair back and forth to see what was so good about it.

“Ah, that’s right. Priest Marnak.”

“Yes. Just tell me.”

She asked me while touching her mother’s cheek.

“I don’t think Carmen will be released in a day or two, so what are you planning to do in the meantime?”

I had a plan in mind. The plan is to find the holy relic where Mother’s divinity is sealed in this vast capital.

The problem is, I haven’t decided yet if I can tell Dakia about this plan.

As I stared at her blankly, Dacia smiled and tilted her head.

“Why don’t you answer me?”

“I’m debating whether it’s okay to tell you my plan.”

“Are you worried…?”

Faint wrinkles appeared on Dacia’s white forehead.

“I even swore not to reveal Priest Marnak’s secret to anyone else, but you’re saying you wouldn’t trust me? I thought Priest Marnak and I had that much trust now.”

‘Kill kill!’

The mother sat on Dacia’s lap and giggled, saying that she was in good shape. I answered while looking at Dakia, who was feeling a deep sense of betrayal.

“If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t have brought up the story that I was worried in the first place. I’m just being cautious because I’m worried that the princess might hear and misunderstand.”

“I won’t be surprised if I hear anything from now on. Feel free to talk as much as you like!”

While Dakia was banging her chest and talking loudly, her mother, as if not interested, used her chest as a cushion and cut her head, chewing on the cream puffs.

I hardened my heart when I saw Dakia, whose eyes were shining with curiosity like a child.

“Then I’ll trust you and tell you. Listen and don’t misunderstand.”

“Of course. I’m prepared to never be surprised no matter what comes out…”

“I’m thinking of going to see a friend of ‘The Devil’ tomorrow.”

The two golden eyes were full of bewilderment.

“Huh?! ‘Devil’? I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?”

I replied with a smile.

“You heard that correctly.”

***

Two men strolled through the back alleys of the crowded capital.

Batis Draco, the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom, frowned.

“Is it still far? Why are you spinning around like this? Huh?”

“Just a little bit more, just a little bit more.”

It was just a moment ago that I explained that the Ilech Headquarters was not a place that anyone who wanted to go could easily enter. Hilden, the head of Ilech’s eastern branch, hurriedly walked while listening to the scolding he had become accustomed to.

‘It’s almost time for the headquarters to come out to meet me.’

There was no way that the headquarters did not know that the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom had arrived in the capital with them. Usually, when they knew that a bigwig like this was looking for them, the headquarters sent personnel to serve these distinguished guests.

An extremely ordinary looking man walked out of the alley.

“You can follow me. Three princes.”

“Come out quickly.”

The man bowed his head and quietly led the way. A thick valley dug above Hilden’s forehead as he chased after him. He’s upset about the situation now. It was also very upsetting.

‘That bastard didn’t mention my name on purpose.’

The conflict between Ilech’s headquarters and the four branches in the east, west, south, and north did not last for a day or two. To be precise, the basic tone of quietly ignoring the four branches was formed on the headquarters side.

This was closely related to the history of Ilech. In the first place, the organization called ‘Ilech’ was established based on the capital of the Northern Kingdom, and the four branches in the east, west, south and north were defeated and subjugated after a struggle with Ilech. there was.

Thanks to this, the four branch heads of Ilech were nominally high-ranking executives, but compared to the executives at headquarters, they were treated one step below. In fact, the difference in level between the four branches and the headquarters was extreme.

However, in reality, whether or not there was a difference in level, what was twisted was twisted. Hilden glared at the man with more blazing eyes than ever before, as if he wanted to pierce a hole in the back of the man who was going ahead with his eyes.

“What the hell are you doing? You?”

Hilden was taken aback by Batis’ sudden question.

“Yes, yes? Oh, nothing.”

Batis patted Hilden on the head and said.

“Stop doing useless things and think about how to take care of me well. Huh? Okay?”

‘I just want you to give me directions, what else should I do here!!!’

Hilden was unfair, but he smiled as he pretended to be calm while hiding his regret as much as possible.

“Yes, I’ll do my best!”

Batis looked at his face and turned his head away, disinterestedly. Hilden was once again enraged at the attitude, which truly lacked the four virtues. Still only in my heart.

They entered the underground passage leading to Ilech’s headquarters. On the other side of the underground passageway, a blue-haired woman wearing a robe was leaving the headquarters, guided by another member of the headquarters organization.

The eyes of the blue flame priest and Batis crossed. Soon, the two passed each other as if they were not interested. When the blue-haired woman completely disappeared, Hilden expressed her admiration.

“Wasn’t the woman who just passed by beautiful?”

Batis shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly.

“take no interest.”

“yes?”

Hilden was taken aback by the unexpected answer. This was not the answer that would come out of the mouth of a man who used to hang out with women every single day when he was in the Eastern Branch. Batis laughed.

“There are so many women who cling to me that they like me, so why bother looking at each and every woman passing by?”

A surprisingly straightforward answer. In reply, Hilden came up with a question.

“Then why are you so obsessed with Princess Dakia?”

Wasn’t it because of the possessiveness of the famous princess of Dacia?

“that···.”

Batis didn’t want to answer, but just hit Hilden in the back of the head. Hilden, who had been slapped in a daze, screamed with a cool sound of ‘Bap!’ Tears welled up in my eyes.

“evil!”

Batis said while patting the back of Hilden’s head.

“Eomsal is.

‘What are you talking about!!!’

Hilden muttered inwardly and glared at the person from headquarters who was leading the way. That brief moment when he was stabbed in the back of the head by that lizard prince. I saw exactly that guy shrug his shoulders slightly.

As soon as he finished the guide, he was sure to publicize the fact that the head of the eastern branch was beaten in the back of the head by the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom. Of course, his own status would be thrown into the gutter. However, Hilden could not do anything even though he was clearly aware of this situation.

‘Fuck…`

“We’re all here. Let’s go in.”

Following the door opened by the guide, the two entered Ilech’s headquarters. A new person from the headquarters walked out of the building and welcomed the three princes of the Dragon Kingdom.

“Welcome to ‘Ilech’, Prince Batisse Dracosam.”

“Let’s get down to business quickly, since we’re done with the greetings.”

“Yes, you can follow me.”

When Hilden naturally tried to follow Batis, an employee from the headquarters stopped him.

“East Branch Manager, you may return to the Eastern Branch now.”

Now, the cheers of liberation and the anger at the obvious celebrations crossed Hilden’s mind.

‘Yeah fuck. Great. Let’s go home now.’

“He just tells me to follow him.”

The man bowed his head deeply and replied.

“As a rule, personnel belonging to other branches should not come into contact with those who have come to the headquarters to make a request…”

Damn!

The man from headquarters who had been slapped on the cheek turned his head. Batis glared at him with a very displeased expression.

“Hey. Are you easy on me? Eh? If I say it once, they’ll understand. He’s wearing a vomit. Just one more question? OK? No?”

The man sighed deeply and said.

“Haha. Eastern branch manager. It’s okay if you follow me…”

Fuck!

Batis’ hand hit the man’s head as it were. The man who had been hit and bounced rolled on the floor.

“Where are you sighing openly? Ha, I’m really going crazy here. Hey! Hurry up, not this rude bastard, come out with a new guide! Quickly! And you follow me.”

“yes yes!”

Hilden cheered inwardly when she saw the person from the headquarters wriggling on the floor.

‘As expected, a scumbag who doesn’t discriminate between time and place!!! I believed in you!!!’

It felt like a hundred-year old grudge was being washed away. Hilden thought it wouldn’t be okay to watch the headquarters guys suffer for just a little bit longer.

“Hey, why aren’t you following me?”

Hilden smiled broadly at Batis and replied vigorously.

“I’m coming! I’ll follow you right away!”

***

“So this is the right place?”

“For the time being, this is the correct location, but…”

Ahead of us was a very shabby building barely standing. A building that no one will think is strange even if it collapses soon.

Dakia and I told Sagitta that it would be okay to get some rest and left the dorm alone.

When I left the inn and opened the pouch I received from the demon lord, I found a small metal badge in the shape of a black butterfly along with a simple medicine.

This was the place we arrived by following the map.

Dakia looked over the building before carefully opening her mouth.

“Shall we go in first?”

“Yes. Let’s do it.”

“for a moment.”

As we were about to enter the shabby building, a man covered in mats stood in our way.

“I don’t know who you are, but this is my house, so don’t come in on your own…”

I quietly held out a black butterfly-shaped badge. After checking the badge, the man stopped talking and quietly stepped aside.

“Come in.”

Upon entering the building, we realized at once that the shabby outer wall was camouflage. That was the entrance. Entrance to the basement.

Dacia looked at the flickering lights hanging on the hallway wall and asked me.

“Don’t you think it’s a bit ominous that there’s not a single person in that long hallway? Maybe it’s because the ‘devil’ friend lives there?”

I replied with a smile.

“Anyway, the devil’s friend seems to like places that are a bit dark and stuffy like mold.

Dacia swallowed and nodded.

“Yes. Once we’ve come this far, we can’t go back without any harvest.”

We moved our steps along the dark underground passage.
