97 – Terrible smell (1)

[Apostles of the Demon God, those who have received the power and blessings of God. There are a lot of annoying obstacles in the nest, so try to deal with them by taking them outside. An annoying opponent that causes confusion and status ailments for the player. A magic-based attack. Since there is the divine protection that blocked Seira’s mental attack, the source of fear can also be blocked. In order to take the opponent out, a high prestige is required…]

-Im here.

Two hours of not-so-good riding experience. The carriage arrived at its destination. Siron closed the book he was reading and got out of the carriage.

“Please understand that I cannot give you generously due to circumstances.”

Siron smiled as he handed the driver two gold coins. The expression on the driver’s face as he held the gold coin in his hand looked uncomfortable even to Siron.

“…Thank you for using us.”

The coachman muttered a stereotypical greeting and bowed his head. Siron watched the carriage moving further and further away, then turned his head and looked at the entrance to his destination.

Siron arrived at Night Rail Street. This was the street where Seira wore a ridiculous slave cosplay. However, the place he is standing is not the western area, where auction houses and gambling houses are located, but the eastern area. It was the entrance to the entertainment district where you can feel spring all year round.

Siron looked at Seira with a slight sense of hunger.

“Let’s eat something. Is there a good place somewhere?”

“Hmm. I haven’t been around here much.”

While spitting out the words of lack of confidence, Seira took the lead in her black nun’s uniform.

Unlike other districts with hotels and other entertainment establishments, prostitution districts do not have shops open during the day. At most, it’s a 24-hour stew house where ladies who come after a night’s work stop by to solve a late dinner.

As expected, the place where Seira entered was also a store with a thick smell.

“Welcome…”

As soon as the shop opened the door, the clerk tried to greet the customer, but the clerk froze as he saw the two of them.

It seemed that priests were not very welcome on this street. From the moment they got off the carriage, strange gazes continued to follow Siron and Seira. But that didn’t mean Shiron suddenly punched them. I just don’t think it’s a big deal and stick my butt in a corner.

Not long after we sat down, thick stew and bread were served in a metal bowl.

“Tip, please take it.”

“…That’s enough.”

Siron handed a gold coin to the clerk, but the clerk looked at Siron blankly and then turned away. Shiron did not wrinkle his face at the blatant act of disregard, but quietly let out a sigh.

“Maybe I should call the store owner and give him some training? His attitude toward serving customers is poor.”

“It has to be that way.”

Seira drew an arc in the air with her finger to prevent sound from escaping to the surrounding area.

“The ones causing trouble on this street are the fearless drunks and the Lucerne Inquisitors. It can’t be helped that a human clerk would do something like that.”

“It’s detailed.”

“Nothing. Even though it’s a different area, I’ve been in Night Rail for several years. I’ve probably lived here longer than most humans.”

Seira rubbed her hands together and started putting stew into her mouth. The strange taste of my hometown that I had tasted for the first time in a long time filled my mouth. Perhaps because it was boiled for a long time, the large piece of meat became mushy on its own without even chewing it.

“Then what about demons?”

Siron munched on the soup and took out the necklace from his pocket. The image of young Siriel was engraved on the back.

[Hugo’s Compass]

This was originally a unique relic that could only be obtained after Hugo died. Five years ago, before leaving the mansion, the necklace Hugo gave me told me the direction from which the demonic energy was coming.

However, as soon as I entered this red-light district, the necklace started shaking like crazy. The concentration was so shallow that I couldn’t feel it through my skin, but it was proof that this street was completely filled with demonic energy.

“Are there no demons like Teojugam here?”

“…well.”

Seira dipped the dried bread into a bowl.

“I don’t know either.”

“why.”

“Because they hide and pretend to be human. Why, the Yuma and Encia who serve you are demons, but they are not much different from humans.”

“yes.”

“Ever since the war 500 years ago, demons hate to step forward. The Demon God who led them has already disappeared, and the lesson that there is nothing good to be noticed has been etched into their bodies for a long time.”

Seira sighed as he took out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

“In the end, all the weak demons who couldn’t ‘pretend’ to be human have died. It means that even I, the greatest wizard of all times and modern times, has honed my hiding skills so that I won’t notice.”

“Who killed it?”

“Who is it?”

Seira pointed to herself. And then her finger slowly turned towards Siron.

“Me and the Holy Emperor. And those guys who hate demons deep in their bones. It’s become quite difficult to see demons in areas other than the Demon Realm.”

“It won’t be easy.”

Siron closed his eyes and thought.

According to Seira’s words, it was not easy to find the demons hiding in this red-light district. The compass did not function properly, and it was not possible to capture each and every person in sight and pour out divine power.

But the good news was that Siron’s purpose was not to find demons or anything like that.

‘You’d know if you just met him…’

[2nd Apostle Camilla Rhodes]

Unlike the apostle who was trying his best to kill Glenn in the distant devil’s land, Camilla Rhodes was quietly operating in the red-light district.

‘I have no choice but to wander around until I encounter one.

Siron quietly looked at the fluctuating compass.

*

As the sun set and night fell, the red-light district began to take on a 180-degree change. The shutters, which had been closed tightly due to the crowd of people, went up, and the red lights illuminating the street illuminated the half-naked women.

However, seeing a half-naked woman did not cause Siron to feel s*xual desire.

‘It’s just like a butcher shop.’

As night fell, my nerves suddenly became tense. The magic energy that was not felt when the sun was up slowly began to be felt through my skin.

In order to search for the enemy, Siron decided to stop by the nearest store first. It was an entertainment establishment that took up an entire four-story building and featured both alcohol and women.

“…What.”

Siron’s face crumpled a little. This is because when I tried to enter the store, big people blocked me.

The number is three,

The gangsters who had learned cheap exercises bowed with a polite expression towards Siron as they blocked the entrance.

“Sir, I need to check something for a moment.”

“What do you want to check?”

“hahahaha. You are a priest who behaves a little harshly. Don’t be angry. All you have to do is answer a few very simple questions.”

The big man didn’t lose his smile even when Shiron’s face was tense. There seemed to be no law prohibiting priests from entering entertainment establishments.

The large man lowered his head and spoke softly to Siron.

“Excuse me, how old are you?”

“Why are you asking that?”

“According to imperial law… minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from entering entertainment establishments. So, the only way to do this is to check ID at the entrance.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…”

Siron made a dumbfounded expression. Even before the investigation began, we ran into enormous difficulties.

‘Why are there all these worldviews? ‘You can kill people, but minors can’t enter entertainment establishments?’

Including his past life and his age during the time of possession, he was well over 30, but his current physical age was 17. According to imperial law, this is strictly classified as a minor.

But it would have been difficult to give up here. A lot of time had already passed and I couldn’t wait another two years. I had to do what I could before the original point came. Siron crossed his arms and spoke confidently.

“Wasn’t Nightrail extraterritorial? It wouldn’t have anything to do with imperial law.”

“Night Rail’s bylaws changed a few years ago. About three years ago… Yes. Because of that, police officer Nari often comes here to patrol.”

Three years ago, it was a time when Siron had left the empire.

‘Little one. ‘Hold this to me.’

Then, I felt a stabbing sensation on my back. Shiron quickly took the item handed to him and held it up to the big man.

“…Okay?”

The big man looked at the card Siron held out for a moment, then grinned and got out of the way.

“Welcome, sir.”

“Then, excuse me.”

Siron cleared his throat and stepped forward. The fake ID card that Seira made in an instant looked good even to Siron.

but,

In fact, Seira, who created the ID card, did not enter the store.

“Sir? Do you have any business? It’s night and the air is cold. Please come in.”

“Hey.”

Seira narrowed her eyes and looked up at the large figure. The face that glowed even at night looked full of dissatisfaction.

“Don’t I check your ID?”

“…Huh? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Why is he the only one checking his ID?”

When the nun asked the question, the big man pressed his eyebrows as if he was in trouble. Sometimes there are guests like this. The truth is, people get annoyed and wonder if they look that old if they don’t check their ID…

However, he was a solid person who knew the manual well even though he worked at an entertainment establishment. The big man made a smileless face and spoke politely.

“Nun, lady. We have a policy of not asking our generals about their age. If you really want, can I check your ID?”

“…That’s it!”

Seira kicked open the entrance and entered with strides.

*

A dark room illuminated by red lighting.

“this.”

A woman with colorfully colored fingernails spoke softly. Her black hair flowed below her waist, and her red eyes sparkled even in the darkness. However, her face, illuminated by the light, gave the impression of being benevolent rather than fairy-like.

“also…”

Crack-

The ornately decorated fingernails are chewed, crushed, and torn apart by white jade-like teeth. The woman trembled due to rising anxiety. She instinctively realized that she was on the verge of death.

‘Lord. I hope you can safely overcome the danger today, see the sun tomorrow, and reach a peaceful rest.’

Camilla prayed to her god that the approaching smell would disappear far away.
