9th Circle Lord - 128 #128화 Anes

The high priest and his delegation, who had expected a special meal, were puzzled when they suddenly returned to the Grand Hall on the first floor of the spire.

“Lord Elmont, where are you going?”

“I’m going to eat.”

“But why are you going outside?”

Luther is going back in the direction they came from.

Curious, Luther answered as if it were natural for them.

“Isn’t it natural to go to the place where the food is to eat?”

“The restaurant must be outside.”

“I’m not going to the restaurant. There’s a lot of food out there, why do you have to eat it separately?”

Luther pointed out that the High Priest Lapid became a honeyed mute.

It’s not wrong, but I still wanted you to treat me more special.

He asked again as if it were ridiculous.

“Are you eating with the common people?”

It was a word that discriminated against one’s identity.

No one else made a difference on that point.

On the contrary, the response is that it is natural.

It seemed like how the High Priest concurred with the common people.

Luther glanced at the High Priest Lapid and said, Najik.

“Once you try it, you’ll think differently.”

It was an unconsciously flowing aristocratic ritual, but Luther did not point that out.

The world he wanted did not include the High Priest Lapid.

Whether it was wrong or not, Luther didn’t mean to interfere with his behavior.

The expression of the High Priest Lapid became uncomfortable.

The atmosphere changed and both the holy knight and the priests secretly expressed displeasure.

I didn’t think so, but I thought I would be sick and tired of the commoners.

The prediction was right.

Luther found a quiet bar for a quiet day.

He pointed to a table that the owner made sloppy.

“Please sit over there.”

“……”

The high priest was silent, and a priest under his command, who noticed his feelings, stepped up.

Hmm. Hmm.”

The priest who coughed for nothing raised his eyebrows.

“Earl Elmont, that’s a little too much. How can the High Priest make you sit like that?”

The priest spoke for the High Priest Lapid.

I wanted to treat you, but I was angry at the shabby appearance of the market.

Luther didn’t care.

Rather, he asked again as if there was a problem.

“Why shouldn’t the High Priest sit there?”

“It’s dirty and shabby. Please show me to a more plausible seat.”

“This is the most plausible seat in Elmont.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“The priest, if you have any complaints, leave. Elmont’s dirty, and I can’t treat you with my displeasure.”

When the priest tried to shoot back at Luther’s cold response, he was startled by the high priest’s eyes.

He shook his head weakly.

It’s no use, so stop it.

The priest swallowed his anger and withdrew.

The High Priest Lapid spoke calmly.

“Please understand my priest’s carelessness. I know I’m not feeling well, so I was hoping for a comfortable seat.”

He seemed to be scolding the priest, but he was criticized for setting up a humble seat.

Suddenly, Luther’s expression hardened.

“I purposely arranged a casual meeting to talk to the high priest, but I didn’t know he’d be offended.”

Luther never lost a word.

After changing the uncomfortable position to the uncomfortable position of the High Priest Lapid, he made it unpleasant.

The embarrassed High Priest Rafid waved his hand.

“I didn’t know that was the intention. Don’t get me wrong.”

“Hmm. Let’s take a seat first.”

Luther sat down first with an uncomfortable look on purpose.

A brief protest increased the distance.

Zenon, a holy man who was secretly watching, blinked as if he was unexpected.

‘Isn’t he a wizard? The demon is in good hands.’

Even within the church, he/she verbally defeated the high-politically inclined High Priest Lapid.

He’s not a pushover.

The High Priest Lapid felt sorry when he saw Luther, who showed discomfort.

The situation worsened to the point where it was impossible to recover from the moment’s appearance.

The friendly atmosphere cooled down in an instant.

In the meantime, the owner of the bar served food.

The expected party of the high priest opened its eyes wide.

Triple fish was a fish, but its appearance was extremely repulsive.

The protesting priest trembled.

“What the hell is this terrible fish?”

“Try it for now. It’s quite tasty.”

The priest shouted fiercely.

“You want me to eat this hideous thing? Are you out of your mind?”

Everyone looked at how loud the voice was.

Luther jumped to his feet, calling for joy inside.

“I can’t bear to hear that. Look around you. Everyone’s eating this triple fish, and you’re out of your mind? How dare you say this to me, the lord of Elmont and the lord of the land!”The priest, who had been angry at his cries for a moment, realized his rashness.

The priest stiffened his face and apologized.

“I made a slip of the tongue. Forgive me.”

The high priestly system has also begun to evolve.

“I was surprised to see him for the first time and made a slip of the tongue. Forgive him.”

“I can’t do that.”

Luther said firmly.

“I’ll get up first because rudeness goes too far and I can’t be with you. Share your business later and leave as soon as possible.”

When he took his place, the high priest and his party were greatly embarrassed.

From Luther’s perspective, it was a rather grateful situation because he expected an excuse, but from the position of the high priest and his party who wanted to build a temple in Elmont, they had to settle the situation somehow.

The High Priest Lapid urgently dissuaded him.

“Earl Elmont, calm down. My priest really made a mistake.”

“The High Priest. Talk to you later.”

Luther left and the high priest stared at the priest as if to kill him.

The priest couldn’t raise his head easily.

The high priest, who was staring at the priest whose head fell to the ground, shed a bullet.

“The Earl of Elmont is a formidable task. Your future plans must be tough.”

Although the priest made a slip of the tongue, Luther’s behavior, which did not explain the triple fish, was also a problem.

If you said that it looked unpleasant, but it tasted good, you wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.

Leaving the priests behind, the holy knights Xenon and Riok came up and said a word.

“Maybe Earl Elmont is deliberately trying to provoke a rift.”

“Do you think so, too?”

“Yes, either. There may be hostility toward the Annesian Church, or they may be trying to gain the upper hand in the negotiations. I don’t know which one, but he’s a very clever man. You have to be careful.”

The final negotiation is up to the High Priest Rafid.

The advice of the holy knights filled the face of the High Priest Lapid.

“For now, we are all wrong in controlling it according to our tastes. Now I have no choice but to keep up with the rhythm.”

Lafid, who sighed, sat down and ate the flesh of the triple fish.

His eyes grew rapidly.

“This is so delicious.”

“Is that so?”

Following the high priesthood of Lapid, the other party also took a piece of triple fish and a triple fish.

Everyone’s face was filled with admiration.

“It’s very delicious. I’ve never seen such a delicious fish.”

“Oh, you’re having a festival for nothing.”

The eyes of the admiring party naturally reached the priest who shouted.

“Let’s watch what we say.”

“I made a big mistake.”

As the triple fish was said to be delicious, the priest who dropped his head gradually lost his face.

The high priest didn’t even give him an eye.

The purpose of the priests’ completion of the high priesthood is to raise the rank of the temple.

The Anes Church also had a class, and the help of the high priest is absolute to surpass the class.

The priest who made a slip of the tongue made a big mistake this time.

The high priest would reject him, and the rise of the rank of the priest, who became a broken member, should have been considered to have gone away.

After returning to the office, Luther was satisfied with the unexpected good news.

I was going to cause death anyway.

Regardless of whether it was someone else or not, I tried to get the excuse somehow, but thanks to the priest’s words and actions, things were easily solved.

‘But it’s not over yet.

However, they cannot kick them out by blaming one of the priests’ mistakes.

They had to at least give them a benefit.

‘Annes, that troublesome thing’s gonna show up.’

I’m sure they’re watching.

When Luther thought it was annoying, he got a signal from subspace.

It was Cox’s communication channel when I did something.

Luther’s view of his communication was strange.

Cox is the only dragon on earth that survived.’

Luther thought about telling this fact.

The worries were not long.

Anyway, I made friends, and I respected him.

In a way, it was natural to tell.

Luther, who received the signal from the communication port, injected Mana.

Cox’s bright face appeared.

He smiled broadly.

“Friend, long time no see.”

“How have you been?”

“Well, I’m doing fine. What about you?”

“I’ve been a little busy lately.”

Cox’s complexion darkened when he said he was busy.

“Can I know if you don’t mind?”

Luther nodded.

Cox seemed to know from the reaction.

“I was actually going to let you know. I went to the Dragon Zone, and I got rid of all the dragons there.”

“Um. I see.”

Cox couldn’t answer for a while.

Looking at his expression, it was complicated as if he had mixed feelings.

Luther asked carefully.”Are you all right?”

“For now. Haha, you don’t have to worry at all. I’m not blaming you. It’s just complicated. It was embarrassing to hear that all my long-time Eunwon tribes were gone.”

“But how did you know?”

“Someone’s here. He convinced me. Let’s hold hands together. At the same time, he knew about you.”

Luther’s eyes were out of color.

“Who is that?”

“It’s hard to believe this, but the opponent is completely hidden. Oh, one thing is clear. It was a woman. Her voice was beautiful.”

“Women?”

Luther’s eyes asking back were strange.

‘Then it was the woman who taught the dragons how to summon the beasts. What the hell are you?

Cox’s identity also seemed to be no ordinary bet, given that he knew it.

Who the hell is she?

The question was also brief.

Seeing Cox’s confused appearance, talking to him comes first.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Well, I don’t know. I thought I’d just stay quiet forever, but when I did that, I couldn’t do anything.”

“Don’t you dare come to Elmont.”

“Elmont? Come to think of it, your current status was Lord Elmont. Haha. Come to your estate?

“Yes, I’ll treat you to a good meal.”

“Hmm. How did you know I enjoy eating? Ha ha ha. Good. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I’ll be right back.”

“I’m pleased to welcome you.”

“Hahaha, see you soon.”

The conversation with Cox is over.

Luther thought about him.

‘I don’t think I’ll have much of a grudge.’

Although he is confused, he looks a bittersweet.

Luther understood his reaction.

“There’s no way there’s a love of race in society.’

Each other tries to eat each other, but of course they are sick and tired of it.

“But I’m going to have a heart-to-heart conversation just in case.’

Luther liked Cox.

He had the direction of life he wanted to live in.

Refusing to be bound and living freely.

It was a life that he really wanted.

If possible, I want to keep my relationship with Cox for a long time.

If I come to Elmont this time, I will have a deep conversation with you.

While Luther was so determined, a moving magic team in the middle of the office emitted light and threw up the Lapid High Priest.

When Luther stood up, he thought as he saw the High Priest Lapid smiling calmly as if he had forgotten what happened a while ago.

‘Now I have to soothe Anes.’

The real negotiation target was Anes, not the High Priest Lapid.

Luther faced the high priesthood of Lapid, agonizing over how to soothe her.
