Chapter 105 – 09.5. Summon the Hero Demon King Advent (2)

“Yes?”

Returning to the bedroom after having a late dinner with Serenia, Beatrice doubted her eyes her. He saw a crystal ball emitting black magic light. He was receiving a communication request from the demon tool that had been quiet for a long time.

‘Why?’

It was the first thought I had.

She, too, believed that the day would come when she would use it again. But now it’s too early.

‘… I’m sure it’s not about the West.’

Feeling uneasy, Beatrice took her crystal ball and prepared to communicate with them.

Maybe it was good news for her.

‘Maybe I can be of help to the West.’

Beatrice’s eyes twinkled.

Excluding the Demon King, the official royal family of Valdes, there is still no one to speak of in his harem. In addition, Valdes is expected to remain infiltrated on the continent for up to a year and a half. During that period, the demon king will be in the demon castle.

If Valdés worked hard to conquer the continent for a year and a half, he would not only become the second-in-command of the harem, but he might be able to win his favor. She, who is guilty of participating in Valdez’s assassination, needs to work harder for his love of her.

Because of this, she hid the crystal ball from Valdes.

In the past, a secret meeting related to the assassination of a hero, and from a certain point on, a crystal ball for communication used as a meeting against the Empire of Dezac.

It’s rarely been used lately, but I never knew when this crystal ball would come into its own. As it included many important people from each country except for the Dezac Empire, it could have been used when a war broke out later rather than being infiltrated.

‘If you get good information, the West will like it, right? Huhuhu.’

Unlike her two daughters her, who are only princesses, and Serenia, who is only a countess, she is a queen herself. And she was ashamed, but she did contribute a little to the hero’s assassination.

Although it was a dark history, she was confident to turn it into an opportunity.

‘I’m sorry, but I’m going to get a little ahead of myself!’

After getting ready, Beatrice activated the crystal ball.

Maybe she wasn’t late, but I could see spots where the light was still off in some places on her.

“Suddenly, who asked for a meeting? I thought I’d never use it again.”

Beatrice immediately threw out the question. There was no one here to say hello anyway. Even if there was, that would have to be done somewhere else. It was stupid to do it at a secret meeting like this.

The one who answered her question was Mark, the king of the Kingdom of Ventorino. He is a man with a frivolous and irritating smile, but even he showed a serious side in such a situation.

-They said it was Cloudy.

“Are you a saint?”

‘A saint, after all…’

Anxiety crept up again.

Saint Cloudy.

The girl who was newly appointed as her saintess after the former saintess died while searching for a hero after receiving an oracle from her goddess. The tiny little saintess had become a mature beauty in her 30s before she knew it.

Cloudy was popular because she was a saint of rare beauty and kind to her people and she liked to serve them. She had a history of subjugating the demon lord, and since the saintess periodically healed her people with powerful divine power within the castle kingdom, she couldn’t be popular.

But Beatrice hated her. None of the people at this gathering liked Cloudy. Dislike or annoyed. She was one of them. Even the dwarf paladin Luciano, a fellow from her castle kingdom her, didn’t like her.

Saint Cloudy was still devout. He was so devout that he was fanatical.

Fanaticism.

It was the most appropriate word to describe Saint Cloudy.

‘I don’t think she has good intentions….’

It would have been better if it was Luciano.

The dwarf was an abnormal priest who liked money and war more than gods.

Saying that heresy should be driven out frequently, he wanted to start a war again and get rid of all the demons. There is not a single person among them who does not know that it is not purely for the sake of the goddess, but simply because they want to wage war. Despite such a claim in the Western Castle Kingdom, the furthest from the Demon King’s Territory, Luciano was viewed with disfavor in Ulstro Kingdom and Ventorino Kingdom.

In contrast, her saintess her visited her her Wool Straw once every three or four years and showed off her splendid brilliance her, so few of her people hated her. Claudy made her strange claims and the gossip about her spread her was a headache.

“When she comes out, she’s unexpected.”

-Help. It’s not that it’s such a serious issue.

An old man’s voice.

It was the state of the southern third-tier alliance.

A clever old man who rules the jungle among jungles, deserts, and archipelagos. This man, too, was one of the revenge targets her West her was seeking. He doesn’t prioritize vengeance, but he’s a tricky foe when it comes to starting a war, so he definitely needs to split the inside.

“Because how important it is… “

– Hmm. Am I the last one?

A young woman appeared as she interrupted Beatrice.

-Yes, Angelina-nim is the last one.

At the same time, the organizer of this gathering, Saint Cloudy, appeared.

Beatrice counted the number of lights on and off. 8 of the former, 5 of the latter. The latter five all died and became vacant, so everyone who could come came.

‘Looking at it now, it’s a gorgeous edge.’

Warrior mark.

Saint Cloudy.

Dwarf Paladin Luciano.

Elf Archer Angelina.

Four of the warriors who defeated the Demon King 18 years ago. Three out of a total of eight – actually close to two – are dead, and one is missing, so virtually all the protagonists of the war are gathered. During this long period of time, they have consolidated their existing positions and become more.

Mark became the king of the fledgling Kingdom of Ventorino.

Cloudy has been able to exert her influence on her, spreading her name on her as a saint across the continent.

Luciano, in spite of his eccentric disposition his, obtained the desired cardinal appointment through great merit.

Angelina won a seat in the Union Senate, one of only 12 in the United Republic.

Excluding those from the party of warriors, the other four were also extraordinary people. They were a great help in assassinating the hero 18 years ago, including a total of five supporters, including the now-existing great mage.

Queen Beatrice of Ulstro Kingdom.

Isaiahs, the ruler of the southern jungle and the lord of the Third Alliance.

Like Angelina, Lazuli of the Huin tribe serves as a member of the United Council.

Sven, the 4th elder of the Imperial Mage Tower and the president of the Continental Warlock Association.

They were prominent in the past, but now they were the powers of the continent who rose to a higher position.

-So, what is the reason for bringing all these busy people together? Miss Cloudy.

It was a question from the black magician Sven.

– This side is already out of mind because the disciple has run away. If it’s not a big deal, I’ll make a formal complaint against it.

– Heul heul, I agree.

Again, the atmosphere was not very good. Although all of these people managed to get together, they were all people with busy lives.

– The Goddess has given you an oracle.

“!!”

Surprise spread across Beatrice’s face at the saintess’ words.

– What?!

-That, that kind of nonsense….

-Indeed. That’s why the shorty was quiet.

– It’s amazing, but is it important enough to bring us together?

Although the atmosphere was slightly renewed, the majority of people who believed in the goddess but did not follow it were not very impressed. It was because the importance of the oracle was not very relevant to them.

-And… Two warriors have been summoned.

However, everyone except Luciano was shocked by the saintess’ words.

Beatrice was too shocked to say anything. It was she to blame that he had a point of being pricked differently than the others. She was the only one among her who knew about Valdes, and her existence her as a hero was shocking.

‘Goddess already…?! Why… It’s too fast!’

No one denies that the goddess is the only god that exists in the world today.

Of course, it is a Goddess cult with many believers, but not many people have joined or been active in the Goddess cult in earnest. The power of the goddess and the divinity she possesses are believed in the existence of the vastness that blocks her her demons.

The problem was that the other things her goddess could do were limited, and there were no cases where she was directly helpful to the people of the continent.

As a representative example, there was an oracle that had come down during the last war.

After the demons started a war and more than half of a kingdom was occupied, the goddess assigned her warriors to her. That was five years after the war began. Even that, the content was abstract and there was little information, so it took three years to find the hero. It was a bonus that the saintess of the time died along the way.

If Pedro hadn’t participated in the war as a mercenary and was doing a great job, the search for the hero would have been delayed.

She was a goddess, and the war hadn’t recurred yet, but she called a warrior, and two of them. For Beatrice, she couldn’t help but be terribly embarrassed.

-Warrior… Are you a warrior….

– But why? Aren’t the demons quiet?

-There are other problems… To say the least, there is no precedent for a hero to come out when it’s not a demon issue.

-Help. And there are two of them….

-By the way, what do you mean by summon?

Even though Beatrice, who was so surprised that there were so many people, and Cloudy, who brought up the topic, were quiet, the voice coming out of the crystal ball was loud.

– I will explain step by step. First of all, the oracle I received is that the two summoned men and women are warriors. And the two warriors met with the goddess and heard her words.

-Oh….

– Hmm.

– A threat is approaching the continent. Darkness permeates the continent, so we must stop it. Defeat the Demon King once again. We interpreted it this way. The garbage-like demons are out of their minds and plotting.

“Darkness is creeping in…”

The Queen involuntarily re-read the most poignant phrase. No matter how much I thought about it, that darkness seemed to mean Valdes.

– It’s only been 18 years now, heh heh.

-So, instead of an all-out war, are you trying to use dirty tricks… Tsk.

– Once again? Something meaningful?

-Help. It’s embarrassing that there is nothing to pinpoint.

-And the fact that the hero was summoned… It literally means something called to the continent from another world. We were embarrassed as well because the method of appointing heroes was different from last time. Of course… There is no precedent for two heroes to appear.

– That’s why this job is urgent?

-Help. Not only the number of warriors, but also the timing is very fast.

-How strong is the new demon king and how well he plots… Huh true.

In the midst of the chaos, the saintess drew her attention by clasping her palms together.

-I don’t know why the two warriors were summoned, but the Vatican thinks this way about the timing. First, it can be dangerous even if you know it in advance, so be especially careful. Second.

-Because these kids are still very weak. At least a few months of training would be needed to make it usable.

-Indeed….

-Are you saying that the warriors were summoned early for the time to grow?

-Help. I guess that’s understandable.

“…It could be something like this. Control the hero well this time, something like that.

-…….

-…….

-…….

The crystal ball instantly became quiet at Beatrice’s words to her.

Everyone remembered the incident 18 years ago. Everyone thought it was surprising. She, who had been most reluctant to comment on the matter, was the first to speak up.

Even if she didn’t say it, she all thought the same thing.

I don’t think there’s any need to kill this hero.

-I have a question for you… What happened to the warriors who were summoned before after the work was over?

-… Although the records are vague, most are said to have returned to their own world.

-It… That’s fine.

Everyone except Beatrice had the same idea. No matter how strong the warriors become and defeat great threats, their power will not be affected much. If I said stay, it would depend on the situation, but this time I thought the goddess had made a pretty good choice.

– That’s all I’m going to tell you. For a while, we plan to take and train the two warriors. Others, please be careful of the demons.

So the meeting ended.

With the crystal ball completely extinguished, Beatrice let out the breath she had been holding back.

She wouldn’t know if she didn’t know, but as far as she knew, it was unconditional that the information was passed on to Valdez. With this much information, Valdez would be very happy. Maybe I should revise his plans drastically, but it was better than having him uncovered in the worst case.

“Whoops. What should I ask while sharing information? If you secretly want to get pregnant… Fufu. Fufufu.”

The queen smiled eerily and slowly lifted the crystal ball connected to Valdes.
