9th Circle Lord - 142 #142화 traces
His face was covered in blisters, making it difficult to recognize his face properly, but it was not to the point of not being able to recognize the Marquis of Potts.
Marquis Potts was half-confident.
‘No, I don’t think so. It just looks similar.’
As he tried to hold on to hope, Luther continued.
“Unplug your mouth.”
When the sealed muzzle opened, the front of the face was revealed.
The Marquis of Potts groaned.
No matter how hard I tried to deny it, the appearance of my face was clear.
‘Why are Rossi and Pebiben over there? Why on earth.’
I just can’t understand.
They left the mission a while ago.
But how can he stand in such a hideous way?
As his questions floated in the air, things got worse and worse.
Luther asked.
“What are you?”
Rossi was not in a different position from Zerpes.
My mouth was fluttering freely.
“Rossy Aretz, the Knight Commander of the Red Dragon Knights of the Marquis of Potts.”
The audience was in uproar when the identity was revealed.
“Oh, my God!”
“I am a member of the Marquis of Potts!”
Marquis Potts’ knight is a black wizard!
In everyone’s astonishment, the eyes were on the Marquis of Potts.
He jumped to his feet and shouted.
“I have nothing to do with him! I have no idea!”
Luther questioned Rossi again in Marquis Potts’ protest.
“Is Marquis Potts true?”
Rossi looked at the Marquis with a resigned face.
“Mr. Marquis, our great long-cherished desire has reached this point. I’m sorry.”
At the same time, Rossi’s mouth was bleeding.
The driver opened Rossi’s mouth in a hurry.
His tongue was cut off and Rossi’s life was cut off at the same time.
“He killed himself.”
Everyone opened their mouths to the report of the article.
Rossi’s last will didn’t go away in his head.
What is your long-cherished desire?
The Marquis of Potts raised his voice, contemplating among the aristocrats who pout their mouths like carp.
“I don’t know what he’s talking about! No! I have absolutely nothing to do with black magic.”
Despite his desperate protest, the emperor’s eyes were cold.
Austin replaced the emperor’s will.
He ordered the knights.
“Arrest the Marquis of Potts.”
The knights approached Marquis Potts.
“No! Not me! I have no idea!”
Marquis Potts pleaded desperately innocent.
But Rossi’s will ended the situation.
“Hold him in custody!”
“Please believe me! I have nothing to do with it!”
The chant of Marquis Potts, who was being dragged, echoed.
When he disappeared, some nobles looked pale.
They were the nobles of the Three Kingdoms.
Marquis Potts is the closest ally of the Three Kingdoms.
It was revealed that he was related to black magic.
His appearance of being dragged overlapped with the fall of the three princes.
However, no one spoke out against Marquis Potts.
The situation was getting worst.
They cannot help but question whether it is related to black magic.
Subdued anger soon turned into fear.
I searched Luther’s room in a cold, subdued atmosphere.
No one had a proper eye contact.
There was no way that if he was questioned, he would not be like Marquis Potts.
Luther opened his mouth in tension.
“Once Marquis Potts was found to have colluded with the Black Wizards, but it’s not over yet. There is a possibility that there are more nobles who colluded with them out of sight.”
The emperor nodded.
“It’s full and full. There will be other Black Wizards and others who have joined hands.”
We need to come up with a plan. “If we put our hands down like this, there is a high possibility that we will miss the trail of black magicians.”
“I need to find them.”
There seemed to be no end to the conversation between the two.
The nobles held their breath with a tense look.
The emperor finally made up his mind.
“We’re gonna have to increase the right to investigate. I will increase my authority to monitor the movements of the nobles anytime, anywhere.”
No one opposed the idea of expanding the surveillance of the aristocrats without restrictions.
A dark wizard appeared.
It wasn’t something to be seen lightly.
The emperor spoke fluently as if he were ready.
“From now on, the empire will declare an emergency situation. We will keep an eye on all nobles and do not allow any backlash. In addition, if it is related to the Black Wizard or shows any suspicious signs, we will intervene relentlessly. All of these are to destroy the Black Wizards, so I hope everyone will cooperate.”
The nobles were silent.
The typhoon swept their souls away.There was no time, so I couldn’t afford to measure back and forth.
The results of the early morning convention were disastrous for the nobles.
In the future, monitoring of aristocrats’ behavior has been strengthened, and it has given up the justification to intervene anytime, anywhere.
Austin was appointed as the head of general surveillance.
Luther rose from count to marquis in return for revealing the identity of the Black Wizard.
The title is awarded to those who have made great contributions to the war, but this was only to the extent of their status as Earl.
The rank of the Marquis is determined by internal discussions between the Emperor and the nobility.
In this regard, Luther’s rise in rank was an unconventional treatment.
It was natural that there was a backlash because it was unconventional, but Luther’s achievement was so great.
There were few objections, but complaints increased.
The more Luther stood out, the more narrow his position was, the more he looked at the upper aristocrats.
Cox was given a fortune and earned an honorary peerage.
At the same time, he also provided an identification card to monitor the aristocracy at any time in connection with Austin.
In the name of tracking down the Black Wizard, he has the right to work anytime, anywhere.
After the swirling vortex, the whole party gathered at Austin’s house.
Luther forgot to sleep and told Elena and others how it was going.
Everyone put their tongues out.
And I was amazed by Luther’s driving force.
He made it if he wanted to.
He destroyed Bernoulli’s Matap and Marquis de Potts for messing with his men.
At the same time, he succeeded in the Marquis class, so the achievement was a great success.
“What a coincidence.”
The evil spirit did not know the details, but the conclusion was clear.
“I’ve got an enemy behind me without him. It made things flow naturally as if they really did.”
I was amazed at the precision of the Lutheran.
It all started with Luther.
He raided the emperor, treated him, and created enemies that were never there.
Everyone was playing with his rhythm.
I couldn’t help but get tired of it.
That’s all I could say about the evil spirits.
Luther, one by one, started a self-service.
It started with Gordon.
“If you go to Elmont, you’ll have a lot of work to do.”
“What should I do first?”
“There’s a magic academy in Elmont. I want you to teach your therapy to the students there. And I’ll set up a dedicated academy for you. I’ll have you name it. Teach people there. I hope your academy will increase the number of therapists in the future.”
Luther knew he would use talent in the right place, and he wanted to use Gordon’s ability right away.
Gordon liked Luther’s plan very much.
“I’m not confident in teaching, but I’m confident in using what I know.”
“And focus your research on combining magic and therapy. Soon there will be more wizards in Elmont. Magic and life will be combined.”
“Life magic?”
“It’s a long way off, but I’m looking forward to it. There will be a lot of work to do from now on.”
“I don’t know what to do with myself. But I’ll do my best.”
Gordon, who played the role, became more comfortable.
“I guess I’m right about this.”
Luther, who read what he meant, gave serious advice.
“Just in case, don’t take any interest in politics. It’s a world that doesn’t fit you.”
Gordon laughed.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
By the time I finished talking to him, it was morning.
Luther confronted Vanessa when he woke up.
Vanessa was drunk on sleeping pills and had no idea what had happened.
Therefore, the lord of Elmont suddenly appeared and was very surprised.
Luther didn’t have a long relationship with her.
He had a lot of work to do, and Vanessa was part of it.
“I’ve heard you’ve done a good job on the waterway construction.”
“I’m flattered.”
“This is not the time to be humble. You have to be confident in your ability. Vanessa, do you believe in your abilities?
Luther did not trust a humble person.
It’s a person who doesn’t have confidence to say he’s lacking.
Luther preferred an enterprising person, so he advised Vanessa.
Vanessa recalled the conversation with Elena.
The word “be confident” popped into my mind, and now was the time.
Her attitude changed suddenly.
“I want to be an excellent administrator. I can’t forget what I saw once and I can use it in any field.”
“You’re in a good position. All right, then I’ll take care of the work. There is a waterway that I built in Elmont. Find out the problem and find out what to improve. Be prepared until I come back.””Yes. Leave it to me.”
The conversation with Vanessa ended there.
Now it’s time to act rather than talk.
Luther, who was bitten by her, faced an evil spirit this time.
This topic was a little serious.
“You’ll be in Naxanor soon.”
The evil spirit frowned upon his face.
“It’s a terrible story.”
“Devil. Ask me a question. What do you want to be in the future?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You are unique. That’s why I’ve survived. I’ll ask. Will you live in the pursuit of desire and destruction like the common Naksanor’s spell, or will you remain as quiet as you are now?”
“To be honest, I long for freedom. That’s my hope.”
“That position is enough. If you go back to Naxanor, I will guarantee your survival as much as I can.”
“That’s not comforting at all.”
“This trip to Naxanor is never light.”
Luther hoped the evil spirit would consider this opportunity a boon.
“You build up your strength by absorbing Naksanor’s magic. It’s impossible in a broken world to be stronger than now. Build up your strength in Naxanor. I’ll push you.”
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I’m helping you because it’s for use.”
“Purpose? What are you going to use me for?”
“If there’s heaven, there’s hell. I’ll talk about the details later. But this will be your chance.”
The evil spirit grinned at Luther’s advice.
“What would you do if I were stronger than the captain?”
Luther was cynical.
“It won’t happen for the rest of your life.”
He made soul in the world of emptiness.
His ability is equivalent to that of the devil, which is also the highest in Naxanor.
If evil spirits want to chase themselves, they can’t be born again.
Annes suddenly appeared in front of him, who was resting for a while after the encounter.
Her expression is cold.
“You’ve done it again.”
Luther was not embarrassed by her appearance.
“What other quarrels have you picked this time?”
“I’m here to give you orders.”
“Command?”
“Yes, God has found a sign of existence to punish. Go kill him.”
Anes calls the devil a god.
Luther interpreted the meaning of the word.
“You must have found the renegades. Yeah. Where is the location?”
“Molan territory in the southern kingdom of Lost. There are renegades.”
“Is that all you have to say? Any specific person or place?”
“I found this in a flash. It’s up to you to find it.”
“I got it.”
Luther glanced at Anes.
It was less nervous than before.
“Do you like the idea of forcing the Black Wizard to appear?”
Anes considered the Basco Empire his territory.
So I don’t like Luther walking around.
But last night. I turned the empire upside down, but there’s nothing much to say.
Luther knew why.
When a black wizard appears, people naturally flee to religion.
The appearance of the Black Wizard will lead people to the temple of Annes.
“How do you like my present?”
At Luther’s question, Anes disappeared with a cynicism.
Luther nodded at her cold response.
“I can’t help it. It doesn’t fit me.”
It didn’t go well.
I didn’t want to, but I thought I’d have to settle with Anes someday.
