Episode 44

14. New Face

One.

The eventful night passed and the morning dawned.

As they had assured me, the Ability Management Department began a large-scale media report as soon as morning dawned.

Breaking News) The Yeonbaek Guild, predecessor to the nationwide violent organization Yeonbaekpa, was all booked on charges of drug distribution. Suspicions of various illegal activities, including human trafficking, were discovered during the drug manufacturing and distribution process.>

Minister of Talent Management Yoo Seon-ho said, ‘We will clearly reveal the incident through close cooperation with the military and police.’ >

Chief Blue House Spokesperson, ‘Declaring war against villains.’ >

I expected that the Department of Talent Management would issue an official statement, but I did not expect that it would go all the way to the Blue House.

It appears that the statement that he would do his best to advance was not just a lie.

Well, from there, it's up to them.

I also went straight back to the temple at Ground Zero to do my own thing.

This was because it was necessary to confirm the results of the interrogation entrusted to Leo.

Let's start with the conclusion of the interrogation.

“In the end, it’s back to square one.”

Nothing was revealed.

Contrary to my expectations, Echidna's contractor, Shin Yena, didn't know anything in particular.

All we were able to find out was how she created the 'Elixir of Awakening' and what process she went through to become a contractor for the demons.

Yena Shin was originally said to be a magic player who awakened three years ago.

The process by which she, who was once evaluated as a promising candidate for the Awakened Academy, came to accept Echidna's magical energy could be said to be very close to a cliche.

A story about a rising star who didn't grow as well as he expected and pushes the boundaries through a deal with the devil, a story that is very common in Eden's repertoire.

The idea of giving a boost to a rising star who was facing the limits of growth must have sounded sweeter than anything else.

One might think she's a victim too, but what?

All of this was a tragedy that began with her poor choices.

It was a tragedy that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't signed a contract with Echidna in the first place.

I nodded my head slightly, then spoke to Kim, who was quietly looking at me in front of me.

"How much is this woman's sentence?"

"He will be arrested on a total of 14 charges, including murder, kidnapping and drug distribution. The minimum sentence is life imprisonment and the maximum is death. I can promise you on the honor of our Talent Management Department."

During the interrogation, Leo had already destroyed all of her magical qi, and by extension, she had sealed away all possibilities with her divine power.

In other words, Shin Ye Na is no longer a player.

I'll never be a player again.

It was also a kind of judgment on the devil's contractor in our church.

But I didn't think that was enough, so I whispered quietly in her ear as she lowered her head in front of me.

"You know what? There's a Maggi, and it's not really giving you the power you don't have."

“...... Suddenly, whatever."

"It's the power of your future in exchange for your soul. Should I say it's a kind of gabul?"

Magi is not a force that opens up new possibilities for mortals.

It is only the power to harness mortal possibilities in exchange for mortal souls.

Namely.

"If you hadn't made a pact with the devil and worked hard, you'd be a great mage."

She had shattered that future by her own choice.

When she heard me, she sobbed and replied:

"What's the point, what's the point?"

"Why doesn't it make sense? Because of what I said, you're going to regret it for the rest of your life, and of course it makes sense."

It's a way to tell me to suffer for the rest of my life.

After I had concluded, I slowly lifted myself up.

"Team Leader Kim?

"Yes."

"You can take me now. The church's work is over."

Team Leader Kim replied by bowing politely.

"Thank you for believing in us."

"I promised."

"Well, let's get back on our feet."

With that, the agents of the Ability Management Department withdrew from the temple with Shin Ye Na in tow.

"I knew His Holiness would make the same choice as last time."

Leo spoke quietly as he looked at the agents of the Realm Management Department as they walked away from the temple.

It was probably about Yoo Se-hyuk and the other villains who were crippled in Ground Zero.

I answered Leo's question with a slight stretch.@@@@

"They've done it out of their own accord, and I've been fooled by the snake's tongue."

"Wasn't it merciful than the punishment He had inflicted on them, I think?"

"You can't say that when you look at the state of the Yanbai Guild or something?"

It's not because I didn't say anything, but in fact, the members of the Lotus Guild came to take care of it.

How could they have left the people who were trafficking and distributing drugs alone?

All of them folded their spines in a fair manner, and then handed them over to the Supervisory Department, leaving only their lives roughly attached.

They will probably all spend the rest of their lives in their cells, paralyzed.

I had forgotten about it for a while.

She can see and hear everything in her power.

It was Leo who conducted the interrogation, so he must have known all the information that was revealed during the process.

It was the source of her omnipotence.

"I didn't sleep well, so I'll tell you about it quickly! As I said last time, I'm going to send a Paladin Commander, but the method is the same as last time. 』

"Last time?"

"Yes! Siu pays for the system, and I'll send it through the gate, just like last time. You'll probably see it right in front of you by now...... Can't you see it?"

As soon as she said that, a new message window appeared in front of her.

[Items in the DLC shop will be renewed.] [You can purchase the Special Title Paladmen Leader (★★>).]

“...... It's a true story."

The price of the confirmed Holy Knight Commander > is a whopping 5,000 points.

It was a big enough score to build another consecration retrograde facility in the temple.

This time, I had 5,000 points for beating two sub-quests in a row, so I was giving away the points I had earned.

But guess what?

"Buy."

[I used 5,000 Holy Points to purchase the Special Order Paladin Leader ★★.] [Because you have paid a reasonable price, the causality acquiesces to the intervention of the Dimensional Realm: Remen>>, the Throne of Eden.]

I have no choice but to let it go.

By already bringing Seungwoo to the cult, he also acquired the ridiculous trait of an enlightened >.

That's why what we need now is talent first, and talent second.

We're struggling with a shortage of manpower.

"I guess so."

"Hmm!"

"If you're going to send me like last time, can you tell me the location and date of the gate? I had a hard time with that last time."

Thanks to this, I was able to get a relationship with Choi of the Goblin Guild, but that was just luck.

You need to know the location in advance and be prepared.......

"Huh? Did you send it right away?"

“...... What?"

"No, I don't. I was sorry that I sent it to you too late last time. So this time I just sent it right away. There was also a passage that connected to it. He he. 』

That was then.

Woooo

The cell phone he had kept in his pocket vibrated. It was Inwook's talk.

-Brother: Link>

-Brother: The Hive Guild guys were broadcasting live, and suddenly a strange person appeared.

-Brother: Hurry up and check it out.

-Little Brother: You said you fought with your brother last time. Didn't you send it from your brother?

In the place where I entered using the link that Inwook sent me.

-?

- Why does a person come out of the gate?

-Aren't you a player when you see them killing monsters?

- What is it

-The monster god raised by the Hive Guild or what?

A paladin in familiar armor was smashing the monsters' heads, wielding a mace larger than its own body.

The camera soon pulled the focus to her face.

Then, her red hair fluttering along with the mace is projected on the screen.

Knowing that her reflection is on the screen, she looks at the camera and smiles and winks.

No, let's just say it's okay to wink.

But why the hell?

-?

- What is it just about?

-Isn't that a member of the Hive Guild? Didn't the Hive Guild members attack first?

-But why are the guys who attacked first doing that rather ha ha?

-Explanation worm back

I don't know ha ha

Winking at them and sending the Hive Guild members into the sky.

I pressed my forehead against my forehead as I stared at the dizzying, dizzying scene.

And just as I was about to ask Li Men, I was in a hurry.

"Question later! We've delivered it, so I'm going to go! Busy, busy. 』

[The trust has been terminated.]

Limen also ran away.

Left, I looked at the live broadcast on my phone again.

Just as I was about to roll my head about how to deal with this situation, she shouted in a booming voice.

"I'm Luna Levitton, the leader of the Knights of Palma, the third Holy Knight of the Remen Cult.

At the utter nuclear bomb, I ran my hand over my face and muttered:

“...... It's X this time too."

Where should I start picking this up?
