Jamie came out and soared into the sky where there were no people.

Even in summer, a cool breeze blew around me.

I felt refreshed when I came to an open place after only staying in the mansion.

"Whoa- are you okay?"

Although a marquise is wide, moving around a limited space and flying freely in the sky are different.

Jamie happily started flying towards the Pyro Bridge.

However, the flight did not last long.

Jamie stopped in mid-air, grimacing and muttering.

"But where is the Pyro Church?"

Apton is the largest city in the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Seldam.

It was not easy to find the Pyro Bridge in this wide place.

Jamie wandered around a bit more and landed roughly in a nearby city. If you don't know where it is, just ask people.

black. Change your hair color."

Queek!

The black that came out after a long time dyed Jamie's hair black. The emerald eyes also became cloudy.

"Aren't the clothes too luxurious?"

Anyone who sees it will look like a kid from a noble family.

When the words were finished, the luxurious clothes changed into moderately ordinary clothes.

It was changed by Black, who understood roughly what the owner meant even though he had not commanded it.

Well done.

Kihee-!

Jamie walked out onto the main road, wondering if Black had updated his new laugh.

But there were hardly any people in the city. Even if they could see it, everyone walked around cautiously, looking around with a dark expression.

'What is this discomfort?'

Jamie frowned at the eerie atmosphere.

I don't know why they are doing this, but first of all, their purpose is the most important.

He asked an older woman passing by.

excuse me. Where should I go to go to Pyro?"

Yes? Well, I had to go down that road. Then take care."

The woman didn't even look right and restlessly answered.

Jamie didn't understand her reaction.

He caught the woman who was about to run away again.

excuse me.

"Why again?"

A woman looking back with an annoyed face.

Jamie found her pupils shaking unstable. He is sweating like a person who has committed any crime.

No.

I didn't think there was anything more to say, so I put my clothes on and the woman quickly disappeared somewhere.

It wasn't just her.

Everyone on the street made similar movements, as if avoiding something.

It was when Jamie tilted his head.

"Sa, it's a murder case!"

People walking down the street at someone's cry stopped as if rigidly in place.

Murder in broad daylight?

Jamie frowned and ran towards the sound.

A lot of people had already gathered there, but I couldn't understand where the people who couldn't even be seen on the street came from.

Jamie squeezed between them.

And found a body.

'Heart... .'

There was a round hole in the chest of a man in his 50s, who was presumed to be murdered.

And I couldn't see the heart that was supposed to be inside.

"Get out of everyone!"

"Because everyone is out of the way!"

Then, two officers from behind pushed the people and dug inside.

Jamie slid back.

The officers standing in front of the corpse looked at the state of the corpse and talked in a small voice.

Normal people would not have heard it, but the repulsive force reinforced by the life beads did not miss even the slightest sound.

"It's already the third time."

"I'll have to report it to the Marquis. Go first."

okay. When the apprentice team arrives, I will finish it."

third?

Are there two more murders of this type?

Then the voices of people in fear were heard from behind.

"I guess it was really [Daemon]'s work."

"How can I Aren't I going to suffer too?

"Stop being crazy. Stop being crazy, please... ."

'[Daemon]?!'

When [Daemon] was mentioned out of the blue, Jamie's complexion hardened.

Jamie looked at the body again.

A corpse with an empty heart.

And I remembered the "Portsmouth Garden Incident," which was recorded 50 years ago.

The incident in which Ispil Bell, the former Marquis of Bell, killed the leader of [Demon]. The problem was not simply a case that was executed and closed.

There were many interests involved.

For example, it is the heart supply and demand word used in the 'Demon Lord Summoning Ritual'.

'So that's how it was in the morning.'

Because [Daemon] was involved, the atmosphere had no choice but to be serious.

Jamie's eyes narrowed.

'If the real ones are resurrected, is the purpose of the demonic resurrection?'

Jamie thought no.

If the goal is to resurrect the demons, it is easier to aim for a small territory.

Apton is a territory ruled by the Bell family, one of the highest nobles in the kingdom. If it's a perfectly resurrected [Daemon], it's not on a scale that people who do such trivial things can handle.

Then, no matter how much they thought about what they wanted, there was only one thing.

'Vengeance on the Belga.'

Fifty years ago, they had nothing but revenge on their enemies who had disrupted them and disintegrated them.

'I wonder if this was happening when I came here.'

Jamie was annoyed.

If the real [Daemon] had done it, the Pyro Church would have had an emergency.

He escaped the crowd and flew back from a quiet place.

"Let's go for now."

I've heard the directions before.

Jamie headed to the church with a hardened face.

* * *

Jamie saw a sheer high rocky mountain.

At the top of the rocky mountain, there was an unsuitable amount of green light, and there were large trees covering the top.

And in the meantime, a building painted in pure white was hiding.

"This is why I can't see it from the sky."

The Pyro Bridge was obscured by huge trees from the top of the rocky mountain.

Jamie groaned and walked over to it.

Then, looking at the guards surrounding the entire denomination, he clicked his tongue.

'I expected it, but the security is very strong.'

Killing as much as possible and going down the tree, I could see a little of the inside through the window of the church.

There were a lot of sentries roaming the inside as well.

As much as I've been attacked by a [Daemon] once in the past, I've done a lot of security.

'Because this is not the place where it was stolen.'

The place where the holy relics were stolen was Daeshinjeon, the main shrine, not here.

Of course, even if it wasn't directly damaged, the [Demon]'s notoriety was still famous 50 years later, so it was understandable that they had so many sentries.

Apparently, it was very difficult to get inside.

That was then.

Well?

The front door opened and a series of hordes walked out.

Jamie's eyes filled with astonishment when he saw the old man standing in front of them.

'You have an unbelievable divinity. The author is Archbishop... .'

I heard that there is one of the only three Archbishops of the Pyro Church here.

Did I say her name is Sepira?

Indeed, he had a divinity worthy of it.

Just looking at it gave me goosebumps.

'And is that Lass?'

A very familiar face stood next to the old man, who was supposed to be the archbishop.

At the very least, I would not have recognized it.

His blonde hair was neatly tucked behind him, and he was clad in dazzling armor.

He usually seems like a friendly neighborhood hyung, but seeing him dressed like this, I realized that he was the only seven holy executors of the Pyro Church.

The two had a brief conversation, and then Lars lowered his head and took a step back.

I wondered what they were talking about, but no matter how strong my hearing is, I can't hear them from this far away.

A series of groups, including the Archbishop, leave the Order.

Are you planning to go out somewhere?

It was the moment Jamie stepped forward to take a closer look.

swish-

The archbishop's head returned to where he was.

Well?

"Why?"

"No. It must have been a squirrel."

"Come on. The Marquis will be waiting for you."

"Yes."

Archbishop Sepira tilted her head at the presence of the tree and walked forward again.

Quickly hiding behind a giant bough, Jamie grabbed his heart, beating like crazy.

'What kind of intuition is so good?'

I almost would have been caught.

For nothing, he was not one of the few Archbishops in the 12 Churches.

Jamie swallowed dry saliva and tilted her head outward.

The archbishop and priests are riding on the prepared white horse.

'Is the destination a marquise?'

The conversation between the archbishop and the priest was faint, but audible, probably because he got closer.

If so, it means that the church is empty.

'It's not completely empty.'

The Holy Knights in charge of the escort formed a line on either side of the archbishop. They started the descent with utmost safety in mind.

'This is enough.'

Jamie cautiously descended from the tree, watching the archbishop's procession become dots. And secretly hid his presence and hid into the church.

The sequence of processes was so smooth that no one noticed.

* * *

Millbuck was a soldier guarding the Pyro Church.

Recently, as rumors of [Daemon] spread, the security level inside the school has risen.

Thanks to that, he was guarding the hallways of the school even though it was closed today. The word is 'to protect', to be honest, there was nothing to do.

"Huh."

I don't know if there were two people on guard, but I was doing this alone, so I was just drowsy.

Besides, today was the day the Archbishop and a few priests went to the Marquis of Belle.

There weren't many soldiers left in the school because the Holy Knights were with them as escorts.

So I had to be more alert and stand guard.

'Even the goddess will not be able to stop sleepiness.'

Millbuck leaned against the window and rubbed his eyes as if about to close.

He didn't even realize that he had blasphemous thoughts, and just yawned over and over again.

To be honest, why would [Demon] attack this place if it wasn't crazy?

And if they attacked, I wouldn't worry too much.

'Come if you come. This body is going to cut a hole in my head.'

Now 50 years have passed, the fear of [Daemon] has been largely forgotten.

There, Milbuck is a green young man in his twenties.

He was an ardent boy who even volunteered as a soldier to devote himself to the Church. I can't stand my sleep now, but I'm sleepy.

'But I'm really sleepy... .'

I can't sleep.

No matter how sunny the afternoon is, this is not really... .

dump!

Milbuck's body fell to the floor.

Then he started snoring and growling.

Someone quietly landed in front of him.

"I fell asleep."

Jamie smiled and looked to the side.

From what I've seen, this area was managed by this man.

Hopefully no other sentries will come.

He placed his hand on the sleeping Millbuck's head. His memories flowed into his mind.

The internal structure of the church was clearly engraved.

'There is a statue of a goddess.'

There is a statue of the goddess at the deepest part of the bridge.

Millbuck couldn't go to the place where the statue is located, so he only knew the entrance, but didn't know what kind of structure it was.

Does not matter. Just knowing where you are is enough.

Jamie followed Milbuck's memory.

And there was a presence that sensed Jamie's presence.

haha.

A boy laughs happily.

asked the girl sitting next to him.

"Brother, is there anything fun?"

Yeah. It's a fun thing to do. I'm taking a break. I'll be back soon, brother.

Uh.

A boy called brother left his brother and went out.

"This is my front yard. There is nowhere to hide."

The boy walked away with a smile.
