Chapter 160 – Demon King’s Church (8)
“Of course.”
Even when they were blocked, Kalt responded without breaking his smile.
“Rather, I wanted to talk to the guild leader and the mayor of Karzine about this. Since this is not an ordinary incident, how about we move to a place where we can talk calmly first?”
“Okay, then let’s go to the guild.”
Nellis’ party headed to the guild, following the guild leader and the escorting adventurers.
While accompanying the guild leader, he looked at the leader with Kalt draped around his shoulder and asked.
“What does he plan to do?”
“I think he passed out right now. I plan to interrogate him when he wakes up.”
“Then can we handle the interrogation?”
“No, I think I am the most effective as I have shown an overwhelming performance, so I would like to take charge.”
“Hey, do you have any interrogation experience?”
“At least I am confident that I can get the information I want.”
After arriving at the guild, Nellis’ party entered the guild leader’s office.
The leader, who was still pretending to be unconscious, left the veteran adventurers who had joined him in the corner of the office watching.
Kalt sat on the sofa with his group and told the guild leader how he had figured out the devil worshipers’ plans and tried to thwart them.
Of course, she couldn’t say she used hypnosis, so she told the guild leader exactly what she said to Nellis and the others.
“Indeed, that’s what happened.”
First of all, the guild leader did not doubt what Kalt said.
It was a meaningless story that the reason they found out about the plan was because of the devil worshipers’ laxity, but that didn’t make it unbelievable.
If you are skilled enough to defeat Griffon, a difficulty level A monster, by yourself, listening to it secretly will be simple.
Above all, if it were another incident, this time it was the act of punishing demon worshipers.
It wasn’t just one or two devil worshipers, it was a significant mass execution.
If a reward was given, it was given, there was no doubt about it.
“Guild leader, can you send someone to the sewer first? They cut down a lot of demon worshipers in the sewer… They say their bodies will turn black, but they won’t disappear completely like the one in the Colosseum. If we leave it like this, there will definitely be a problem. I will.”
“I understand. Let’s send someone.”
“Thank you.”
Rather, he even worries about cleaning up after the good deeds he has done.
From the guild leader’s perspective, there was no room to doubt Kalt.
There was just something I wanted.
“Kalt, if possible, how about leaving the interrogation to us? It’s not that I doubt your skills, but we know a lot of people who are confident in the interrogation.”
Among the adventurers, there were some who were former assassins, and such people inevitably specialized in hiding their presence or obtaining information through interrogation.
Since experts could be brought in, the guild leader thought that they could draw out information more reliably.
Kalt said, still smiling at the guild leader’s words.
“I’m not ignoring the skills of the guild’s various talented people. But I’d like to try it myself first.”
“It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings, but…”
“2 hours.”
“Huh?”
“Could you please give me two hours after that demon worshiper wakes up? If I can’t find out within that time, I will hand the interrogation over to the guild.”
“Well, if that’s the case…”
Not a day, just 2 hours.
The guild leader was no longer stubborn as he clearly presented the time and handed it over to them after that.
“Thank you. Oh, can I borrow a room for the interrogation? I want to make it so that we are alone with that guy as much as possible to push him further.”
“… I don’t want you to cut off any more limbs because you could lose your life.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. Oh, and can I just send my group back?”
“Let it be so.”
Kalt said while looking at Nellis, Scarlett, and Aria.
“Please go back to the inn first. If the interrogation ends quickly, I will return right away.”
“Okay.”
“Then I’ll wait, Kalt.”
Scarlett and Aria, who knew Kalt’s abilities, assumed it wouldn’t take long and accepted it right away.
Nellis hesitated for a moment, but nodded her head.
“Yes, Mr. Kalt. I’ll be waiting!”
“Yes. Let’s do what we promised when we get back.”
What I promised to Nellis.
It was a promise to have a drink with Kalt.
“Yes!”
Nellis answered cheerfully and left the guild with the other two.
Kalt, who remained in the office, stood up and said as he approached the leader who was lying in the corner pretending to faint.
“Then would you please prepare an empty room?”
“I’m not awake. Are you going to do it right away?”
“I can’t wait for him to wake up. First, I’ll wake him up once I’m alone with him.”
“… Okay, let’s do it.”
What the guild leader prepared was a lounge for the guild’s employees to use.
“I’ll use this place.”
“Thank you.”
Kalt went into the lounge with the leader wrapped around him, closed the door, and put the leader down.
And.
Wow!
He sent a ‘signal’ by striking his palm hard towards the leader’s face.
“Get up.”
“Ugh! Ugh…!”
After Kalt’s signal was given, the leader was barely able to open his eyes.
“Huh, huh… Ugh!”
I had to pretend to lose my mind.
The body moved to do just that as it pleased.
It was no wonder that the body continued to breathe heavily after squeezing the demonic energy to its limit, but in order to follow Kalt’s commands, the body was forced to control its breathing and did not move.
In that state, only the spirit of the leader still remained.
I couldn’t understand.
It is not at the level of taking away the freedom of the body.
It was an experience that completely took away control of my body and made me think that my body was not my own.
It created a kind of fear.
“You, you, you… What are you? What are you? What are you…!”
Before he could say anything useless, Kalt spread his hands and gave an order.
“Be honest with everything I ask. Don’t make small talk about anything else.”
“Eup…!”
My mouth was blocked.
The leader was astonished to even ask questions and was not allowed to even mutter to himself.
“Do you know where there are other devil worshipers other than the devil worshipers who originally gathered here in Karzine?”
“I don’t know…”
“Why?”
“I gathered all the compatriots I know here. That’s how important the fight to be held in Karzine was.”
“That’s right…”
‘If you look at the size of the people in the sewer, you get the feeling that they were gathered together by people they knew.’
Kalt asked another question.
“Is there anyone else called a leader like you?”
“I think he exists… But I’ve never heard of him actually seeing it.”
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to extract much useful information. No, there are one or two things in order.’
“Where is the hideout you were in?”
“The hideout…”
The hideout of the devil worshipers mentioned by the leader was in the mountains about 4 days away from Karzine.
And Kalt asked about the one remaining piece of information that seemed useful.
“Who is the demon who gave you demon energy?”
“Ka, Cassandra… It’s Cassandra…”
“Cassandra…”
‘I’ve never heard of it.’
“Explain what kind of demon it is, as best as you know.”
“Cassandra…”
The leader is what kind of demon Cassandra is. And she told me how she met Cassandra.
To summarize, Cassandra was an evil demon.
The leader is the so-called common petty thief in the slums.
While making a living by stealing, he misjudged who he wanted to steal.
The person who was caught was a man who had recently become an executive in a powerful group in the slums.
It is said that Cassandra saved her when she was caught pickpocketing and her arms were almost cut off.
-Hmm~ You seem a bit talented, huh?
And the leader became Yinma’s toy for a year.
Even if you become stronger by being injected with demonic energy, you are still restrained and have additional negative energy.
In other words, they were played with while being injected with sexual energy.
The leader said that one month was a brighter and more pleasant moment than any other moment in his life.
In the mind of the leader who was toyed with by the demon for a year, Cassandra’s touch was the only happiness in the world, and the leader’s heart was completely stolen by Cassandra.
And after a year, when the leader adapted to the Magi, Cassandra said to the leader.
-As expected, you adapted as well as I thought? Then… Move for me. Then, next time we meet, I will give you a better ‘reward’ than this.
With those words, Cassandra disappeared in front of the leader.
The days of pleasure that had lasted for a year were cut off.
The leader seemed to be going crazy enough to have withdrawal symptoms.
A week of struggling, calling Cassandra’s name and foaming at her mouth.
As the withdrawal symptoms subsided a little, the leader recalled Cassandra’s words again.
We must move for Cassandra.
We must move for Mine.
In other words, it should help in the resurrection of the Demon King.
If you do a great job so that everyone can see it.
-Award to Cassandra… !
That was the moment when the leader tried to hold a ceremony to sacrifice all the people in the Colosseum.
