Chapter 484 – Killing Demons

I gathered my thoughts for a while.

I thought the information Hildegard had given me was quite useful.

Of course, it’s a story that needs verification, but it’s not that it doesn’t fit when you roughly figure out the situation. If you think about it, I think it’s correct to some extent.

Well worth listening to

Of course, if Elise was here, she would have yelled at me saying it made sense, but I had a slightly different opinion from Elise. Fusion Confucianism teaches that if you can get something, even if it is an enemy, get it.

After all, Elise is an ambiguous opponent to exact revenge.

This bastard is not something I can instantly destroy with my own abilities.

So, let’s hear a little more about it.

“Has your question been resolved?”

By that time, the meal had been served.

“Then, shall we begin with a personal story?”

Hildegard tasted it in a rather calm manner, perhaps learning table manners, and then spoke.

“But why are you giving me this information?”
“Now a personal story…”
“Do it.”
“…That’s what I’m talking about to buy the knight’s favor, of course.”
“Damn it.”

There was no way he would sell his own people for just that reason.

No. Come to think of it, this bastard was a demon. If he it’s a demon, that’s enough.

Rather, it would be recommended.

Devils are bastards who can be sold and eaten by parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, and even fellow countrymen if it is profitable. Of course, the same goes for humans. Fuck this

“There must be some other reason?”
“There must be other reasons, of course. But that’s a trivial matter.”
“What?”
“…”

Hildegard wiped her mouth with her handkerchief.

“To tell you the truth.”

Then he opened his mouth.

“If you kill those demons, it will benefit me too.”
“What? Is it beneficial?”
“Of course. I bought the knight’s favor, and I also benefited from it. It’s a perfect thing indeed.”
“What’s the point?”

There must have been a reason for something to be beneficial.

Is this guy looking for a win-win relationship now? If so, he’s a perfect partner for a deal. Of course, if this bastard was human.

“First of all, demons don’t consider themselves kin or compatriots unless they are of the same race. They are just enemies with different goals and thoughts. Even humans fight among themselves, but don’t they think they are demons? Is it a placenta?”
“…A kinship ritual.”

I couldn’t determine the truth of the story, but I thought that the demons could do it.

I thought that the devils would also think that they were the same kind, but in fact, there would be no bastards who have no sense of the same kind as the devil.

“For example, we succubuses consider each other sisters, but there are sisters we are close to and there are sisters we hate. If a sister is a threat to me, I can kill it. If she it’s a demon, it’s worse, right?”
“I guess so.”

It is the same story with humans.

Trash-like people are ready to cut and boil even their father in pieces if they give them gold coins. No, there are a lot of guys who can do without gold coins. In fact, some of them have already done it.

It’s a world full of criminals.

“Anyway, Pandaemonium is such a place, and for me, it would be a great benefit if the other demons died in the human world.”

In the end, it was said that the death of the demons that had infiltrated the human world would help this bastard as well. That’s why you’re pouring information on me.

By the way.

“You mean you’re using me?”

That’s what it means to use me.

“Utilization. It’s just to help the knight. And even without telling the knight any information, aren’t the humans already obsessed with hunting demons?”

Hildegard spoke as if he were trying to convince me.

“Whether I hand over the information to the knight or not, the result is the same. Many demons will die, and that will lead to my gain. Of course, a demon with increased power may appear… But let’s think about that next time.”

It’s something I always think about, but the better I speak, the better my morale is. Bastards who snap their jaws are 100 out of 100 scammers.

“I just want to help the knight gain an advantage in this situation. I told you. I want to buy the knight’s favor.”

Hildegard’s information seemed to make some sense.

So it’s even more suspicious.

“You bastard! How dare you use me!”
“Ah! I just explained that it wasn’t for use!”
“Then tell me where the demons are concentrated!”

ㅡChorak!

I immediately took a map out of my pocket.

I’ve learned a lot about this and that, but in the end I need to know where demons come from in order to benefit.

If he tells you that, it’s worth trying.

“…If I tell you that, will you believe me?”
“You’ll have to see that.”
“Really… Even if I keep trying to earn your trust, you won’t trust me.”
“Can you trust other demons?”

At that question, Hildegard rolled her eyes for a moment.

“Um… I’m sure I can’t believe it either. I can’t believe in demons. Ha ha. I’m skeptical that I’m a demon. It’s so hard to earn a man’s trust… Originally, I could just show my face..”

Other guys would be mesmerized by this bastard’s beauty and fall for it, but not me. It is necessary to extract only the truth as much as possible.

“I’m not interested in your face. But more than that.”

He set the plate aside and laid the map open.

“I heard earlier that the demons opened the gate and came out on their own… Is it possible to pinpoint the location?”

Hildegard clearly explained that it was easy to open the gate in this area, and she said that the demons opened the gate and came in individually.

It doesn’t make sense to answer that I will tell you right away after hearing my question on such a topic.

“Even though opening the gate has become easier, there are still some demons who can’t open it. There is a fixed gate open. It will work, but that part is up to the knight to use, right?”
“Hmm… Is that so?”

It was a question I asked to see if he would grumble, and he answered quite well.

“But can’t you read a map?”
“It’s always flying, but its level of geography is ridiculous.”

After examining the map for a moment, Hildegard ran his fingers around her and began to mark the way on the map with the tips of his fingernails. A blue line is drawn on the map like a ballpoint pen.

“Now, this area… I confirmed that it was open just a few days ago. Even if it disappears, there will be traces of the gate being open for a long time.”

As she marked the way, she added specific explanations.

It is quite polarizing.

It literally seemed like he was actually acting to benefit me. Then, marking her way her with her fingernails, she circled her, pinpointing her location her.

“This way. There’s a fixed gate here. If it hasn’t disappeared yet, demons are still coming in? It is.”
“Is this the correct location?”
“It’s marked on a map, so I can only tell you it’s around that area. But if you go there, you’ll be able to tell.”

This is most likely a trap.

But who am I? I am Saint Kim Katt. If you accompany the church people in the middle of this danger, that trap won’t be a problem. The fact that there is a trap is itself a sign of the devil, so you can receive a reward.

This is worth finding out.

Even if it’s a scam, if I have nothing to lose, I can stab it.

“Okay, let’s review this information positively.”

Looking at the location, it is a bit far.

You may have to march for a day or so.

But is this a state that the paladins haven’t found yet? The place called the forest might not have been able to find it because it was so wide and dense. Because it is also in a state of lack of troops.

Once this happens, although the lord’s soldiers move, in significant numbers, they are sent to protect the villages around the city.

“Huhuhu, I hope you use it well. Are you aiming for the church’s reward? I hope something good happens. Please get what you want.”

Hildegard, who rested his chin with both hands, said that while staring into my eyes.

“And to tell you in detail like this… It also includes the desire to apologize for causing pain to your friend the other day. Will you forgive me?”
“I can’t forgive you for waking up after searching for that, bastard.”
“You’re doing too much. You’re reflecting deeply. I want to apologize.”

Having caused Elise pain is unforgivable.

“Knight… I’m sincere. Why don’t you trust me? I’m trying so hard to win favor with both my mind and heart.”
“What do you think you would think if a demon you didn’t know was good to you?”
“Seriously, do you keep saying that? Then I won’t have anything to say.”
“Then don’t talk.”
“Ha.”

Hildegard sighed.

Now that you’ve heard everything you’ve heard, let’s go.

Now you have to stop by the church and hand over the demon stone.

“Knight. I don’t even think about anything other than you these days.”
“Such a stalker!”
“Yes. You are a stalker.”

Fuck this!

I jumped up from my seat. Hildegard continued to speak while staring at me.

“I just think about you every day, so… Curiosity, possessiveness, obsession, or something like that just happens? Oh, are you going back now? I haven’t talked about anything personal.”
“It is illegal to leak personal information.”
“What are you talking about… Anyway, if you benefit from my information, then will you trust me?”

Of course, if his information is true, and I benefit from it, I will have a chance to reconsider. But even if that happens, I don’t believe in the devil.

“Hey. I still don’t believe in devils.”
“Haha. He does it again. Go ahead. But it was nice to talk to you. It was the most enjoyable time of my life. Oh, don’t worry about the money. I’ll pay properly and go.”
“…”

Hildegard, who sighed and straightened his clothes her, smiled and waved his hand her. I came out without answering anything.

Succubus… A monster that attracts men and causes them to die.

Of course, even if it’s a monster, if you can get information, it’s right to get it.

ㅡChallenge.

I looked at the map for a while.

It seemed like it would be easy to find because of the specifically marked route.

Might be worth a try.

I immediately put the map in my pocket and headed to the Brass Holy Angel Society Church. It was still early in the morning. It didn’t take long to talk to Hildegard.

As I walked, I arrived at the church.

I immediately revealed to the priest that I had brought proof of defeating the demon, and he guided me into the church. It seems that adventurers are coming in and out in various ways because the reward money is currently on hold.

Be an adventurer

Did they know that demon blood and holy water react and made demon stones? Or is it just blood? If not, there is also a chance that the body parts were brought.

Anyway, when I arrived at the parade ground of the church, there were some priests and paladins standing there. After the priest explained that he could go over there and show the evidence, he went back.

So let’s ask

“Nice to meet you. I brought you evidence of killing the devil.”

When I got closer and talked to the young paladin, he recognized me and greeted me with a smile. The face of his was really damn good.

I immediately greeted him briefly and took out a demon stone and showed it to him.

“Oh, sure.”

Taking the stone, he nodded.

“This is a substance produced by the reaction of demon blood and holy water. Usually demons have the property of melting as soon as they lose their lives, so their blood or this substance is used as evidence.”
“I see. Did other adventurers bring it like that?”
“Most of them have received blood. Oh, but there were also those who brought demon body parts.”
“Is there any body left over?”
“Sometimes they go and leave. Unfortunately, the exact reason is not known, so it seems difficult to give an answer.”

He shook his head.
Unfortunately I don’t know

“Here’s a gift ticket containing the reward money and Verde-sama’s grace.”
“What, a ticket?”
“If you collect tickets, you will be able to exchange them for church weapons. It can be said that the event started with the mindset that it is duty to give a reasonable reward to the amount of dedication. Collect hard, Saint Sonari!”
