Chapter 165
Everything According to Plan
An unpleasant green light burst from within Urey Gongja's body as he trembled violently.
Since preservation magic was cast on him, it felt less like a corpse being awakened and more like someone waking from a long sleep.
"Who are you?"
The magic user Erica threw the question.
-Marcus...... Urey...... Peri Urey's...... only son.......
É nǔ ḿ ӑ
Identity verification was originally done lightly, but Erica dug deeper once more.
"I'll ask again. Who were you before Marcus?"

He spoke.
-Kevin...... of the Red Fields.......
Kevin of the Red Fields.
Introducing oneself that way meant being a descendant of ordinary farmers.
Еnū m̊а̀
It was a self-introduction Marcus Urey could never make.
No one could suspect it was fabricated.
The dead cannot lie.
"How did you become Marcus Urey?"

-Kidnapped Marcus Urey...... killed him after...... used Doppler Ampoule.......
"What is a Doppler Ampoule?"
Е̂n̆ũm̃а .id̆
-The path...... to becoming the limbs...... of the Great...... Godwin-nim.......
Black Dragon, Godwin.
The worst evil dragon, the absolute worst calamity, that can never be forgotten.
Those who follow it are demon worshippers!
Without even a moment to be shocked, Erica moved to the next question.
"Did Regent Ferda kill you?"

-N......o.
"Then how did you die by black magic?"
-Ferda...... framed...... chaos...... ughwaaaaa!!
The green eyes faded.
All questions possible through Dead Man's Knock were finished.
Which meant it was time for the counterattack.

"Bishop Joseph Faust."
Ferda, who had been still as if dead, opened his mouth.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Joseph's shoulders shot up toward the sky within the crucible of shock.
"Wh-what is it, Regent Ferda?"
"You said it, didn't you? That the source of black magic was me."
Ferda's eyes, which had maintained calm rationality, began to change.
Е̌_ń ů mȧ.і̆d́
"You did it fair and square under Alte's light, so can you explain how the source of black magic became me?"
Moving to a new topic without even the Chairman's consent.
No, what consent was needed?
The person who acknowledged having nothing to hide under Alte's light, moreover the Empire's religious representative, almost framed someone with such a fatal mistake.

"Th-that is...... I definitely investigated, and it was Regent Ferda Valdrova......."
"Seems there's an error. May I re-investigate that trace?"
Е̊ nŭ m̈ а̃
Ferda probing lightly, knowing it wouldn't be allowed.
"It probably won't work. The trace was heavily damaged during the investigation......."
"Then let's see how damaged it is."
The one who cut off the words was Erdes.
As a devil hater who also loathed black magic, she arbitrarily reached out to the corpse to verify.
"Oh my, looks like someone deliberately tore it out? How could they do it this roughly, hmm...... well, fortunately I do know how to restore this."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
With a few gestures from Erdes, the blurred marks grew clearer and returned to their original state.
"Then let's see...... hmm...... definitely not made in the Valdrova Grand Duchy. The smell of the north remains."
She cheerfully recited the information coming from the trace.
Joseph Faust's face turned pale in contrast.
He was this country's state religion representative.
But Erdes was the Magic Society President representing the entire Serdes Continent.
Е́_n̂ ům̈ а̃.і̃d́
"Committee Member Faust......."
Valdemar called him like someone in shock.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"It's speculation!"
Joseph shouted.
"There's also a possibility that when Regent Ferda cast preservation magic, the trace was covered......."
"If you're at a level to be played by a mere 4th Circle's scheme, isn't that called incompetence? For someone called High Priest?"
Еń ù m а̃ . і̄ d
"Th-that's definitely a conspiracy!"
Joseph pointing accusingly at Ferda.
As he was pressured more and more from a corner, his actions became frivolous.
"That demon spawn of the Far East is definitely trying to frame me as a liar!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Foaming at the mouth, he tried to paint Ferda as a demon.
But which side was the truth remained a mystery.
Е n um̈_а̃
It was hard to accept that the Alte High Priest, famous for his virtue, was actually the opposite—a heinous demon worshipper.
At that moment, Acad's aide rushed over and whispered something in his ear.
Ferda, watching that, truly felt the devil's temptation.
An urge surged to extend his shadow and eavesdrop on that conversation.
He could guess the content, yet it was undoubtedly something he wanted to hear directly.
"According to the breaking news, new evidence has been secured!"

Acad's eyes turned cold toward someone.
"Committee Member Joseph Faust."
"Y-yes, Chairman......."
"They say unidentified remains were discovered in your room at the Cathedral. How will you explain this fact?"
Ferda quietly measured the time.
1 hour 20 minutes.
Ė n ŭ mа
Considering the content delivery, it was safe to say it took about 1 hour.
'Not as good as his prime.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
An unprecedented outstanding achievement, but for Ferda who knew his skill, it wasn't a satisfactory level.
"Remains? What do you mean......?"
"Just confirmed. There's a rotting corpse in your personal bedroom's secret storage along with Class 1 Secrets."
Chairman Acad pressed hard enough to ignore even neutrality.
Ẇ é b.ńȯ v еl̇ Eń ū mà
"If you cannot give a proper explanation for this fact, you won't be able to take a single step out of here today, Bishop."
He neatly folded his trembling hands.
"That corpse too, I know nothing. I...... I am the Great......."
The trembling stopped.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ecstasy forged from madness settled on his face.
"I offer this body to the will of the Lord of Void, Godwin-nim!"
Ѐ n um̊а
Joseph spreading his arms and screaming.
He manifested self-destruct magic.
Just as light was about to burst from his body.
A cube thing trapped his entire body.
The intensifying light helplessly subsided.
"Oh my? Trying to put on a self-destruction show in front of me?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was Erdes's magic.
"This damn bastard."
What she hated most was demons.
But if there was something she hated just as much, it was demonkin.
Erdes's hand, which had been extended toward the cube, gripped the air.
Then a horrific sound rang loudly from inside the cube.
Ẅ ӗb̂ n̊ о̄ v̊ e l Ё_nùma
Crunch!
"Kyaaaaaak!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Joseph Faust screaming in pain.
Erdes didn't stop there.
Crunch!
Crunch crunch!

Twisting, folding, smashing.
She didn't stop until every bone in his body was crushed and his body hung limp like an invertebrate.
She tormented him until he barely had breath left and made him like a specimen inside the cube.
Having turned him into rags, Erdes looked at Erica and said.

"Since you let me investigate the black magic, I'll take this and investigate it myself. No complaints, right, Eri?"
"......Do as you wish."
Еnúm̂а̀. іd́
"Looks like there's nothing more to discuss, and I won't get any entertainment either...... can I leave? I'm dying to know what scheme this damn bastard cooked up?"
Erdes asking Acad.
Even though she spoke like that, Erdes arbitrarily opened a portal and returned to the Magic Society with Bishop Joseph before hearing an answer.
Her behavior completely ignoring procedure was infuriating, but it wasn't as absurd as the current situation.
Like a place after a storm blew through, everything was a mess once again.
The most shocked among them was Urey.

"That can't be...... My son...... That wasn't my son?"
Just when had my son not been my son?
Countless questions seemed to pour out like a collapsed dam.
But those doubts could not be resolved.
Not anymore.
"Everyone, please be quiet. The session hasn't been closed yet."
W̌ е̄ b̀n̊ ó v̊ѐĺ Еň u mа
It wasn't Acad but Valdemar who calmed them with those words.
"Duke Urey......."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He looked down at Duke Urey and spoke.
"It seems the one impersonating your son was a demonkin, or a worshipper."
"......."
"So......."
Ẅ ê b̌ n̈ ӧv̆е̇ l Е̌ n̄ ǔmа
Valdemar placed his clasped hands on the desk.
He let out a heavy sigh and said.
"It seems we need to investigate your identity a bit."
"What...... do you mean?"

"What do I mean? You have to prove you're human."
Duke Urey shouted.
Webn̊ о vẽ l̂ Е̌ ň ü m̂ ӓ
"Of course I'm human! The Urey Ducal House that dedicated itself to the kingdom, I am Peri Urey!"
"How am I supposed to believe that?"
Valdemar's gaze was cold.
"You didn't even know the son closest to you was a demonkin, did you?"
"I, I......."
"Of course you might not be the one wearing that mask. But what if you joined hands with demon worshippers?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"There's no way I'd do such an absurd thing......!"
"It's not absurd."
Valdemar shook his head.
"You lost everything and came here to finish it, didn't you?"
That characteristic is what demon worshippers or demonkin worshippers do.
Thinking they had nothing left to lose.
Ènú m̂а̇ . і́ d
They came with that resolve, but ended up losing something again here.
"Unfortunately, until identity verification is complete, I can't send you away from here."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And having lost even that, the truth finally started to show.
In the eyes of Duke Urey, who had been in shock, a sticky and ugly truth appeared.
"Valdemar Golt, you raccoon dog bastard! You planned this from the start!!"
His deep anger condensed at his fingertips, pointing at Valdemar.
Е n ŭm а . і̂d
"Despite talking about a father's grief over losing his son! Saying you'd execute justice! Now that you have justification, you're trying to send me away like this!?"
Valdemar answered his rage like this.
"How unsightly to struggle when you couldn't even recognize your own son, you demon's dog."
"You heinous trash!!"

Duke Urey finally lost his reason and kicked off the witness stand.
His fingertips glittered.
W е̃b no v̈е̃ ĺ Е̊n̂ ŭ m̃ а́
Hidden inside his collar was a sharp awl.
"Today I'll kill you and go!"
That awl was meant to punish the one who killed his son.
The item prepared for Ferda flew toward Valdemar Golt.
He threw his body toward him but couldn't reach.
His body was pressed down by something and thrown to the floor.

Oldin Rooster.
With agility unbefitting his massive frame, he subdued Duke Urey.
"You're not in your right mind, Duke. Sorry but I'll have to be rude."
Snap!
"Kyaaak!"
Oldin twisting his arm and neutralizing him.
Е̇ n̊ ŭ m а̊
Valdemar looked down at him and said.
"We'll have to interrogate whether you're really Duke Urey. Not just for the Arken Empire's safety, but for the Heinckel Kingdom and the continent's peace as well."

"Golt......!"
Duke Urey glaring at Grand Duke Golt with bloodshot eyes.
That desperate scream echoed through the Golden Congress.
The Golden Congress meeting, turned into a complete mess, closed just like that.

Ferda returned to the inn where he was staying.
As Consillus's proxy, Arwen welcomed Ferda.
"Do you have a schedule tomorrow as well?"

"No, since it's closed, there's nothing more to say."
"Then I'll prepare so you can leave anytime tomorrow."

"Good work."
Ferda went inside the tent and sat on the sofa.
And he ruminated on today's events.
As a result, the Far East and its assets that Ferda had to protect were safely defended.
'The plan definitely succeeded.'
Ferda thought about how to safely protect the Far East.

If he tried to wage a war of public opinion head-on, Ferda could never win.
Because population and influence couldn't catch up to the Empire.
That's why Ferda planned to prove there were demon worshippers in the Empire.
And they actually existed.
Not in the audience seats, not in the congress seats, but in the Supreme Committee seats.
Moreover, a Cathedral Bishop had lived without anyone knowing he was a demon's lackey.

'With this, I gained justification for autonomy.'
The true face of integrity hidden by golden light was exposed, proving the Far East's wall wasn't the problem.

They could no longer put brakes on the Far East while talking about responsibility.
Since the Blue-Eyed Tower Master stepped forward to defend, the Valdrova Grand Duchy had no choice but to be acknowledged not as the Empire's borderland, but as the shield protecting the Serdes Continent.
'Yet.......'
Strangely, the feeling of victory didn't rise.
Е n ũ m̀а̌ . і̀_d
Alexander was famous for kicking own goals, so he didn't even expect anything.
It was as bland as a 20-year-old adult doing bare-handed martial arts with a 7-year-old brat.
'Valdemar.'
That old man was strange.

Within the terrible wave of emotion, Valdemar flowed with a consistent feeling from start to finish.
Like a great river that nothing could block.

Why?
Ferda drank tea and thought repeatedly.
"Regent-nim."
Someone called.
It was Arwen.
He entered the tent and carefully asked.

"A guest has arrived. It's the Princess. What should I do?"
It was around when the evening glow was setting.
Not a good time for a woman to be wandering.
"For now, tell her to come in."
Permission granted, and shortly after, a woman in an inconspicuous robe entered.
She removed her hood and revealed her hidden blonde hair.

"Congratulations. With this, you've firmly secured justification for autonomy."
"Do you see it as a great victory?"

Ferda asked Olivia with his lingering unease.
"If we only count gaining autonomy, it is a victory."
Her answer wasn't refreshing.
"What do you mean by that?"

"If you look at the big picture, that's not the case."
As expected, it wasn't groundless worry.
Olivia must have felt exactly what Ferda felt.
The difference was that Ferda only sensed it, while Olivia knew concretely.

"If we pick the maximum beneficiary of this incident as the winner, it ended up being Grand Duke Golt."
The winner is, after all, the one who didn't get swept by the flow and watched from the sidelines.
