Chapter 672: 672 \nâI didnât know I was going to join the church.â\n
A bitter smile leaked from the voice that could be heard from behind.
When Iâm not with Ivy, the Druid is⊠cold.
Yes, the warmth decreases and the impression of being cold becomes stronger.
Well, I feel uncomfortable because I know the old Druid, but there are some parts that I agree with.
Besides, the place is the church.
Are you happy?
âI donât feel it at all. Youâre now free to walk around the church.â
âYeah, weâve taken it all.â
After I came back from the woods, I finished it all at once.
I also know that prolonging it will increase the number of victims.
Where are those kids?
Druidâs words remind me of a sentinel in the woods.
Because I had never been on the lookout.The two of them were following each other.
He said, âI was scared.â
âItâs okay, my friends sent it to my parents and explained it to me.â
I see.
There are only a few people inside the church today.
All those who were in the church were caught and locked in a certain place.
In a few days, they will be secretly transferred and slaves will fall without anyone knowing.
âDruid, you really donât listen to me.â
A normal guy would say, âWhat happened to the church?âorâ Whatâs going to happen to the church?âand so on.
And yet, Druid never heard of it.
âItâs something we donât need.â
Well, that might be true.
This guy is really thorough with ânecessary thingsâ and âunnecessary thingsâ.
Well, I guess I could have survived by sticking my foot in the back.
I think you can ask me a few more questions.
Thatâs what Iâm trying to do.
âAll church officials will be enslaved in a few days.â\n
I see.
Normally, Iâd say, âWhy?â
In a few days, youâll fall into slavery in a way thatâs not a proper procedure.
And yet, you just ended the conversation.
I knew it, but I knew it.
âInstead of that, why did you call me here?âWouldnât it be nice if you could tell me what the papers are? â
âI need Druidâs help with something else.â
Druid leans his neck into the back of the church.
Refers to the hidden staircase found by a companion.
Underground?
Oh, I want you to see the magic circle underneath.
Everyone in the church is a magic circle responsible for falling into slavery in a few days.
Magic circle? Iâm not familiar with it?
âAmong the incidents that Druid was involved in a long time ago was the kidnapping of children, right?At that time, I want you to compare it to the magic circle I saw underground.The magic circle in that case disappeared before I could transcribe it. Please. â
There was a sudden disappearance of children without parents in the capital.
There are only 26 children who are right for the damage.
In fact, itâs been said that there are more.
The vigilante was involved in the investigation, but the investigation was difficult to navigate with few clues.
One day, a loud noise came from a building.
The vigilante rushed to discover the remains of unconscious nobles and several children.
When the children were discovered to have disappeared, the case was solved at once.
The nobility interrogated him, and the building was underground, with children.
He testified that he had killed to satisfy his own desires.
The vigilante checked the basement and found the children.
But the children found were already dead.
All those involved in the abduction of the nobility and their children fell into slavery and the case was solved.
And, itâs facing outward.
In fact, there was a magic circle in the basement, and there were repeated experiments with children.
When the vigilante went underground, the magic circle disappeared. \nAt first, it seemed that the aristocrats had wiped out the magic circle, but when I heard about the magic circle from the captured aristocrats, it turned out that the magic circle itself had been set to wipe out.
The aristocrat had an ally because of the use of a rather sophisticated magic array, and the investigation continues.
But somebody killed the nobleman, and we still donât know more.
A fellow investigating a magic circle found in the church told me it might be similar to a magic circle in an incident.
I felt a bit of fate when I heard about every case.
Sometimes itâs a case I was involved in.
âThatâs right. I thought we were moving pretty carefully, but did you know I was involved?â
Yes, because Druid was also involved in the case.
It just doesnât say Druidâs name in the report.
An eyewitness anxiously said, âMaybe.â
But I was convinced it was Druid that was sighted.
I saw them near the sightings the day before.
âSomeone happened to have witnessed it.âBut itâs not in the report. â
I see.
Iâm a little surprised that I donât care too much.
âI donât have to be surprised.â
Huh?
Did you read my face?
âI knew it, but I donât think Druid deserved it.â
I didnât think there was anyone besides Garrett and Fischer who could read my face.
After all, should I have invited you to join us then?
No, I wonât.
Iâm a little lost.
Well, even if I had invited Druid, my masterâs monsieur would have interrupted me.
âHeyâŠâ
At that time, I was convinced that it was Druid, but I didnât look into it anymore because I predicted something.
In the basement⊠no, letâs not.
âFour of them.â
After all, was Druid asked to rescue the children?
\nI looked at the magic circle while checking the contents.
âHow many children did the victim have?â
Druid looked around the room and finally turned his gaze to the cage.
âForty-one, but not all of them.There must be others. â
As before, Iâm sure we wonât be able to get the full picture.
When I first came to this room, there were children who had died next to the magic circle.
It was either there or it was piled up in the corner like garbage.
Why can you do that?
I see. Shall we leave now?
When Druidâs voice is answered, âI see,â he leaves the room.
When you close the door, you breathe out.
It seems that the air in that room is tied to my body and I feel sick.
âIâm sorry. Let me get involved.â
âNo. You kept my people away because I was coming, didnât you?â
Exactly.
Iâve made sure my people donât know who knows who that magic circle is.
Well, some of you may have noticed, but youâll understand my intentions.
Until now, Druid had nothing to do with that magic circle.
Phew
When you enter that room, you will be attacked by helplessness.
âDruid, is the room above okay for the paperwork?â
Do you want to see the ciphertext before you decrypt it?
âYeah, Iâm fine.â
Go up to the second floor of the church and enter a luxurious room.
Thatâs a bad hobby room.
Druid laughs as he says in amazement.
I know this room is costly, but I donât like it.
