179 Lesson 49: Divergence (2/2)

”Demons who disobey God, disobey the reason of life, and turn away from eternity. It's not about the immortal king who fought in Titis.”

The moment they say that, I think of Sharamon in the back of my brain.

Seeing my reaction, the Cardinal went on to say more or less.

”He's the chief of them, the dark elf. Night club number one, Lascalis. How many priests have finished in his hands so far? Repeat: Dark Elves are not legendary beings. For the Apostle of God of Law, we are enemies of Dai Tian.”

That's how the Cardinal turns a sharp eye on me.

”It would also be the work of Lascalis to force Sharamon to raid under the Holy See. A dark elf appeared less than a month later under the decorations that discussed the charamon. It's not a coincidence at all.”

It is difficult to defeat the dragon killer from the front. But if you're awake nearby, you can make as many gaps as you want. Bath, change, add, eat, sleep. Any moment of defencelessness can be missed.

If I were a woman, I would be able to use other hands. Cardinal Cyrala told me that with deep fear.

”I'm not going to say anything bad, I'm going to stop surrounding dark elves, etc.”

”Thank you for your kind advice,”

When I carefully bowed my head, the Cardinal finally loosened his expression.

”So you're handing over the Dark Elf pattern.”

”No, I'm not going to”

In response, the Cardinal's eyes hung visibly. Eyes that shoot out will be very intolerable to those who have ease in their hearts.

but the effect is ugly on me not having the ease. I kept my word as I took my opponent's gaze straight.

”In retrospect of the current story, Rascalis and his misconduct belong to the individual, not to the race. Together, you seem to suspect that Wisteria is under Lascalis's command, but that's just a guess. More importantly, even if the speculation below is true, it is not a reason for me to relax my decision. I reached out knowing I was possessed of something strange.”

”... Dark Elves are not cursed by God. Evil spirits and possessed by them are the proof of that. As apostles of God of Law, we cannot accept such, nor are those who are ridiculous.”

In the eyes of the Cardinal, emotions that have never existed begin to mix. My voice was also turning into something cold somewhere.

”Because of the words of the Holy See, I will answer for the matter of the other night. However, if it is only to cover the dark elves, no future cooperation will be possible. Ask them to leave the temple as well. I want you to know that.”

Perhaps that was Cardinal Cyrara's ultimatum. Hand over Wisteria if you want the help of the Divine Law in the future, he says.

In contrast, I responded well again.

”I understand. Thank you for your hospitality to this day.”

So he stood up and returned his heel and left the room.

There was no voice from the Cardinal on that back.

I just felt my gaze. All the way out of the room, I felt a sharp gaze on my back as I shot through it.
