Chapter 461 – The First Day of the Creation of Heaven and Earth

Atra had no plans to stay at Roman’s mansion that night.

I had a wish to do so, but considering work, it was realistically impossible.

Because I have to start a busy daily life with Majella right from dawn.

Although they say they don’t have that much room.

I had no desire to spend my short free time sleeping.

While doing the exercises that Roman taught me, I felt like my body, which had never changed no matter what I did, had definitely gained stamina, so I had less sleep.

By talking a lot with everyone, she wanted to let people know what kind of person she was and, in turn, really know what kind of person everyone was.

The result was extremely satisfactory.

Is it because it leads to the connection point called Roman?

We had many open conversations about topics we would never normally mention, and learned a lot about each other.

After this incident, she needs to visit Alice’s parents before she gets married.

Chloe is writing down her novel because she wants to publish it, and Ceria is drawing pictures for the novel.

If Nema Natas is destroyed, they all plan to stop by Rike’s estate and hold a memorial service for her mother.

As for the memorial service, Atra himself was willing to participate voluntarily and help with everything from start to finish.

Even if the relationship has not become this deep, it is a responsibility that Rikke must fulfill.

“Atra-nee! Cheer upstarting tomorrow!”

“Ah, Sister Atra! Take care of yourself…!”

At the front door, she made a promise with her younger siblings who suddenly appeared today.

After giving a shy greeting to Eclair and Lily by calling her older sister.

Atra left her mansion to return to the nest called the Order.

“Let’s go!”

– Shaa!

On the way back, Roman and Alice followed me to the escort station.

Feeling the cool night breeze, we continued our endless chat noisily.

“Is it a vow of chastity? When can it be lifted?”

– Sisit.

“I already have an early morning prayer meeting tomorrow, so I’m thinking of doing it there…”

Atra glanced at Roman, who was whispering in Alice’s ear and chasing away the tramps hiding in her alley.

Alice crossed her arms and whispered to Atra with a knowing smile on her face.

“You can’t do it in front of everyone for the first time, right? Tell Roman honestly where you want to go and the situation you want to be in.”

“Yes…!”

Atra was just as good.
She was happy.

I wasn’t scared of tomorrow at all because I was dizzyingly busy and couldn’t sleep.

The girl is looking forward to the passage of time.

*****

The night of the empire passed, and a brilliant sun rose, piercing the first dawn.

Some say it is a time when the goddess opens her eyes and takes care of the continent.

Today’s dawn is so meaningful because it contains history that it is acknowledged that it is given such meaning.

As soon as the sun rose, Emperor Falcone Lancaster, accompanied by two renowned dukes, announced the truce signed with the Commonwealth along with the church’s statement.

We began our action with the promise to protect the safety of the continent not from the enemy in front of us, but from the wicked insects lurking in the shadows.

The noble faction had no idea how to refute the sudden truce that had ostracized them.

The problem was not that powerful figures supported the truce, but that bloodshed began to blow in the empire without time.

“Viscount Bertha. The crime of gathering orphans into his territory, selling them to Nema Natas, and learning black magic. According to His Majesty’s will, he is here summarily executed.”

After Duke Amaranth closed his ledger and politely handed it to the priest next to him.

Let’s take a pose by rotating the golden spear.

The face of the man on his knees turned thoughtful.

“Now, please wait a moment! The territory is financially difficult, so there is nothing I can do… I will make sure something like this never happens again… Duke! If I’m not there, who will protect the bloodline of the Empire’s warhorses?”

Crispy ─!!

Before Viscount Bertha could finish his protest, a spear exploded in his head.

I saw truly unexpected characters being torn apart by Duke Amaranth while trying to rebel or escape using black magic.

The hired knights fully recognized the seriousness of the situation and their expressions began to harden.

The knights, whose weapons were given sacred power by the priests in turn, kept their mouths shut and continued to follow Duke Amaranth.

– Viscount Berta’s family was summarily executed.

– Summary execution of Baron Megen.

– Summary execution of Baron Megen’s eldest son and second son.

– Summary execution of the owner of the top phone M.

– Summary execution of the owner of Dandel’s Spice.

– Summary execution of the entire Gray Haven Magic Research Society.

– Summary execution of the entire Order Restoration Magic Research Society.

– Summary execution of the owner of Whale Tail Ship Manufacturing Company.

– Summary execution of the president of the Imperial General Store Association.

There was no warning to the mace of punishment that began to be wielded from the first day.

Mugu did not discriminate between the power and faction of his opponents.

The scope of punishment includes not only making a contract with Nema Natas using black magic, but also everything else, such as trading necessary items, learning black magic, and requesting.

Since Nema Natas had been a parasite in the empire for so long that it lasted several generations, the imperial family also had its own materials.

The denomination had been waiting for this day for a long time and had been closely monitoring it, so it had more extensive data than anyone else.

Based on that, cross-verification was repeated, and the church figures and knights worked together to continue cleaning the empire.

Even though a detailed interrogation was conducted with a high-ranking priest to ensure that no one was innocent, holes began to appear in key positions in the empire to the extent that it could be considered a revolution.

*****

When screams or laughter are heard everywhere in the empire.

Roman entered her Mist Nest to meet Morgan Blackwood, the warlock of the Mendes Pentagram.

‘Is this already the third time here? Fourth?’

A river where thick fog sits like a host all year long.

Roman headed towards the village where Morgan was, feeling the damp smell enter his nose.

‘There were people again.’

Even so, this was still a village with a gloomy atmosphere, and there were always huts with a miserable appearance.

Fortunately, a person presumed to be Morgan was sitting inside.

From Roman’s perspective, he thought he would have left her or moved her residence due to various events, but he feels fortunate.

Roman, who covered her face, approached the cabin with a deliberate presence and knocked gently on the door.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

– Come in.

As Roman pushed himself inside, holding on to the door that seemed to break if he pushed too hard, he saw Morgan’s figure.

He was still living without healing the defects in his body.

“Huh! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. What’s going on?”

“I also share some interesting news. I have a favor to ask.”

“Hoooh…”

Surprise spread across Morgan’s wrinkled face as he watched Roman closely.

Before we knew it, the skill gap widened and the ups and downs became clear.

From Morgan’s point of view, it is hard to imagine the outcome of a match with Roman being a victory.

“Jurgena di Venta is dead.”

“The news that Nema Natas’s dog died has already reached here. I don’t know the details, but it was such an uproar.”

Mendes Pentagram has no interest in the secular world.

The only news I heard was that he had died.

“Suddenly he took on a devil-like appearance and went away in an ugly manner.”

“Tsk, tsk, looks like they haven’t stopped the experiment yet.”

Morgan, who was not interested in the details of her story, clicked his tongue at her with a pitiful face.

Artificially imitating the devil is tantamount to blasphemy for him, so even in death he cannot be comforted.

“Nema Natas’s power must have decreased a lot this time. Quite a few people died.”

“Hmm… It’s not bad news. Even though it’s a bit quiet these days, the war isn’t over yet.”

Morgan, holding an old kettle in the corner, filled the glass in front of him.

When asked if he would like a drink, Roman said no and continued his conversation with an ambiguous amount of information.

“And the last.”

“Is there something else?”

“To eradicate Nema Natas from the empire, he joined hands with the church and drew his sword. As the proportion of people parasitic on power grew, it offended the emperor.”

Hehe! It’s too late for the obvious. The line of ugly guys who reveal wealth, not sacrifice, has been excessively long.”

He showed emotions like a child and smiled with satisfaction.

If the two groups continue to fight, the results will clearly show which side is superior.

“Well, this is the end of the story for now.”

“Then what are you asking for now? I told you some interesting news, so let’s do our best with the simplest conditions possible.”

Roman closed his mouth and remained silent for a moment.

You can’t feel at ease just because you’ve created a good atmosphere by criticizing a public enemy.

Don’t the warlocks of Mendes Pentagram harbor a madness that easily goes beyond manic depression?

“I would like to meet a mediator and have a conversation about Nema Natas.”

“···.”

Speaking of mediators, they are the head of the Mendes Pentagram and the window of communication with the devil.

The corners of Morgan Blackwood’s mouth quickly lowered, and her expression became as hard as stone.
