The Main Character i Chapter 92

The funerals for the priests after that went by very smoothly. From my perspective, it was a great relief. The lords, well aware of my notoriety, courteously guided my way and gave

lavish treatnt. In particular, the successor lord to the blonde, tanned, chubby lord I killed before acted friendly, saying he beca a lord thanks to .

Even when I arrived in the Amur Territory, nothing much happened, aside from the lord's wife glaring at

as if she wanted

dead. As the high priest, I once again expressed my condolences for the death of the Lord of Amur and then left the territory.

The lord's wife threw a fit, displeased with my condolences, but that was not my problem to worry about. If you don't like it, you shouldn't have acted like a dick. The saying 'look where you're going to lie down before stretching out' wasn't for nothing.

If the Lord of Amur had behaved, he wouldn't have died by my hand. He acted on excessive greed and ended up dying by my hand. The Lord of Amur's wife hurled curses at

on my way back, but I paid her no mind.

Priest Elson and I bid each other farewell at the edge of the Amur Territory. Priest Elson seed very tired, perhaps from all he had experienced during this funeral procession, and he looked a little older than when I first saw him. The benevolent priest I saw at our first eting had sohow transford into a farr worn out by farm work.

"Truly, you have worked hard, High Priest Lusius."

"You have worked hard, Priest Elson."

"However, would you permit this old man to offer a piece of advice?"

"Yes, by all ans."

As long as he wasn't asking to borrow money or for

to cosign a loan, I could accept any idle talk with a smile. Because that's the kind of character High Priest Lusius was. In contrast to my smiling face, Priest Elson was mumbling with a very stern expression. It was a common habit among the elderly when they found it hard to speak.

"High Priest Lusius. You must not live too dissolute a life."

"Thank you for the advice."

It seed Priest Elson wanted to say more, but I cut him off there. I believed I was being sufficiently restrained. Priest Elson stared at

intently, then nodded and left. I said.

"Take care."

With the funerals over, all that was left for

was to be stuck in my territory again. I planned to leave the investigation of Evangeline to the Magic Tower for the ti being. Since the traces of her escape led to the Dwarf Kingdom, there was no one else who could investigate. The only ones who could move freely throughout the Dwarf Kingdom were the Magic Tower mages and their party.

"Huh?"

I paused my thoughts for a mont. Co to think of it, if Soya was an important suspect, didn't that an these bastards didn't think it was Evangeline? The exact circumstances of the incident would only be clear once the investigation report arrived in my territory in a few days, but judging by the Magic Tower's actions so far, they had clearly lost Evangeline's trail in the Dwarf Kingdom.

That's why they were trying to solve the case by shaking down poor Soya. It seed the Evangeline case was going to take much longer than I thought. I hadn't even properly grasped her objective in the first place. For what purpose was she doing all this? All of Evangeline's actions so far had followed a single goal. To have humans annihilated at the hands of other species.

But this was truly strange. Evangeline was not very proactive about this goal.

She proposed to Cellu that she would give her power, so let's destroy the human cities, and she also made a proposal to Elsi to destroy the slave market. I found this part very strange. If Evangeline was truly such a powerful being, why did she only make proposals? If she could make one rmaid that fucking strong, why didn't she force her?

If she just gave power to the rmaids in the slave market right now, they would all bulk up and kill everyone, wouldn't they? If she went around spreading power in the slave market of the Aberdeen Territory, Lord Aberdeen would just beco a piece of ham, whether he was a gym addict or a Samoan, right?

Compared to her goal and its risk, Evangeline did very little. In fact, while we were chasing Evangeline, the only cri she had actually committed was one. The murder of a few rcenaries and priests was all. Cellu castrated the sailors herself, claiming she used them as material for masturbation, and Elsi hadn't committed any cris in the first place.

What the hell was she after? My head was a ss. The carriage wheels kept turning.

It was a short trip from the edge of the Amur Territory to our territory. The boundaries of the territories weren't right next to each other; rather, the outposts that defined the boundaries were so distance apart. Before long, I could see guards chatting with each other. As soon as they saw , the guards quickly entered an alert stance, pointed their spears, and shouted.

"H-Halt! Halt! Hands up! Move and I'll stab you!"

Seeing him stutter, he must be a new recruit. I stopped. The outpost guard commander was looking back and forth between

and the new recruit soldier, a sign of tension clearly on his face. As I thought, the challenge must be perford regardless of rank. Normally, soone of my high status would get a free pass, but I had changed that because you never know what might happen later.

"Th-Thunder!"

"Ignorance of the password."

I've been away from the territory for weeks, how would I know the password? The new recruit looked at the guard commander with a bewildered expression. The guard commander muttered 'addition password' in a small voice. An addition password was a password where two numbers were added to make a specific number. For example, if the addition password was 10 and a guard shouted "7!
