There Are Too Many Background Settings in the Possessed Novel

The best weapon in the setup (2)

Elina looked shocked.

However, I had no intention of making Elina understand.

“It’s an incident that happened in the Danehart family’s estate. I have the right to decide, not you.”

I said it proudly to Elina.

Elin, who was holding Elina’s hand tightly, exchanged glances with me briefly.

As if secretly exchanging each other’s secrets.

“But the victim is Elina. Can’t you do as Elina chooses?”

Elin replied as if refuting.

It seems that he became more confident than before when he came to know how to treat others and have an identity.

I congratulated Elin for taking a step forward, and refuted that comment.

“no. Killing a priest who worships a god is a felony of felonies. It means that even if you get caught, you will be sentenced to death.”

Then I clicked my tongue lightly.

“I just enforce it in advance, instead.”

Elina trembled at the cruelty of my words.

That’s what it says.

But the death penalty is too humane.

Especially in my father’s time, painful torture was almost non-existent.

‘It may have been a fictional device to let people know that the main character inherited a good character from his father…’

I am in favor of the painless death penalty for most crimes.

But this time is an exception.

The amount of blood shed this time was so great that it could not be called a tolerable crime.

can’t forgive

Besides, this is for Elina. At the same time, it is also for Elin.

If left alive, the Red Serpent’s gang would surely come back later as a threat.

‘For some reason, that group kidnapped Elin. And if you find out that Elina is a saint, you don’t know what will happen. ‘

It’s hard to guess what exactly they were trying to do by kidnapping the saintess.

However, given the setting of a religious terrorist organization, there is no doubt that it will be used to harm someone.

‘If it’s a plan using Elina or Ellin, we shouldn’t even let it go in the first place.’

I felt Elina’s stinging gaze glaring at me.

It is unavoidable.

The goodness of Elina does not understand me, who speaks of death lightly.

But I will do what I have to do even if I am hated or despised.

It’s night.

As if a dark curtain had been put on, only the soft moonlight was shining under the pitch-black night sky.

Because long-distance flights were temporarily impossible due to mana depletion, it took quite a while to get to the village.

In addition, Elin, Elina, and Nias, who had been following her, were a bit burdened.

“We’re going to monitor you to see if you really hurt people.”

Elina’s argument was as follows. Elin jumped on that argument.

“me too.”

There was no problem with the two saints because they actually intended to take them.

The meeting with the two is the first part that occurred between the routes to obtain the strongest weapon according to the setting.

If so, getting a weapon, or using it. It meant that at least one of the two would play the role of two people.

And the problem was Nias…

“Oh, it’s still spring and it’s cold outside, so you’ll need me.”

“why?”

Nias held on to the hem of her skirt and blushed when I asked.

“Che, ca… The temperature is high, so it becomes a stove!”

I hit Nias on the forehead with a thud.

“There is a level of stupidity.”

“Really! It’s really warm…”

Nias clung to me as if showing off.

Nias, whose body temperature is definitely higher than the others, is hot when he is close to him.

Dark hair brushed against his tickling chin.

“Your body temperature is really high!”

That was well known.

They cling to each other without even trying, so how could they not know?

“Dangerous!”

“I won’t risk it!”

Seeing Nias’ desperate expression, it was difficult to refuse firmly.

In fact, if she took Nias and kept her safe, she would have had another life thanks to Nias’ curse.

In terms of short-term therapeutic effects, Nias is superior to Elina and Ellin.

I sighed.

It’s all under strategic judgment.

“…stays well behind. Run away when something happens. If you get hurt, you really fall behind.”

At my words, Nias smiled brightly with a lovely expression.

“Okay! Thank you! young master!”

That’s how, in the end, another four people wandered around the village.

Elina wanted to visit the temple near the plaza where the tragedy took place.

“You’d better not go.”

I firmly cut off Elina’s proposal.

“why?”

Elina asked desperately.

The bodies of people who were still like family had just been recovered.

Elina didn’t even see them because she couldn’t show a child a horribly dead body.

At least I can understand the desire to know how they died.

“no. There must be many soldiers guarding the area, and there…”

At my words, Elina glared at me as if stimulated.

However, I did not expect much of what Elina would see when she went there.

Lots of bloodstains and ghosts.

Looking at them, I don’t want to see Elina tremble in fear and sorrow.

“You are going to cry. whining.”

“yes?”

It must have been quite a shock to me that my nasty words, which I concocted with my brain, caused a crack in Elina’s expression.

“that…”

“I don’t have time for that.”

Elina was unable to escape the shock of my words.

At that time, holding Elina as if to protect it, Elin stepped out.

“do not say that. Humans, of course, cry.”

“Hey Elin. I’m fine.”

Elina said, a little unfamiliar with Ellin’s attitude.

“Nope. This…you have to tell me.”

Elin was still stumbling around, but he was properly protecting Elina.

I was slightly relieved inwardly.

Things were going the way I intended.

What I was aiming for was a reversal of the relationship between Elin and Elina.

Until now, Elina had been in a position that seemed to protect Elina, but I wanted Ellin to reverse the relationship to protect Elina.

This was for a purpose, and it was also for Elina.

It was for two reasons.

First of all, having Ellin in the position of protecting Elina is easy to satisfy hypocrisy.

And at the same time, Elina is clever and smart, but she tends to trust others too easily.

If it was Elin, it would be possible to guard against threats in place of such Elina.

“Ellin. It’s fine now. Go, thank you.”

Elina’s eyes wandered in all directions, as if she was a little embarrassed that she was being protected by Elin.

“no. Anytime… I’ll protect Elina. Just like Elina did for me.”

Elina had a faint smile.

“thanks…”

I said two reasons earlier, but actually there is one more.

This is a situation that has not been long since Elina lost people who were like her family.

It wasn’t strange when Elina collapsed.

For Elina now, Elin was the only consolation.

If Ellin becomes a pillar Elina can lean on, at least Elina might be able to get through this period without collapsing.

Elin and I exchanged glances for a moment.

It was like we were in an alliance of sorts.

“I can’t let you go in anyway.”

Elina still raised her eyebrows in disapproval.

“still…”

“I will look into it instead. I’ll tell you as much as I can about what I saw from the inside. don’t look at you.”

Elina frowned and nodded, as if swallowing bitter water reluctantly.

“Okay.”

So, before starting the treasure hunt, I decided to visit the crime scene first.

There was something that bothered me, and that was what I was thinking of in the first place.

There was also a way to buy a clairvoyant at the store and examine it, but you had to go and find out yourself.

There were also quite a few guards set up by his father near the temple.

Since I couldn’t reveal my identity through the front door and go in confidently, I decided to go in hiding.

“It’s close to the plaza, so we’re hiding here. Just don’t stand out.”

I cautioned the three people chasing after me.

“Don’t even breathe.”

While Elina and Elin nodded, Nias covered her mouth and nose with both hands.

Are you holding your breath?

“…no, stupid. I need to take a break!”

“Ah yes! Joe, I’ll keep it quiet… Ecchi.”

Nias pretended not to hear because of her cough, probably embarrassed that she had misunderstood her words.

Do you think that will work? As I looked at him with a pathetic look, Nias shyly covered his face with the blanket he carried with him every day and hid himself.

Seeing Nias like that made me laugh out loud.

It’s cute.

I flew up into the sky

‘Natural fairy tale’

And when it reached a certain altitude, it activated natural assimilation and turned into a transparent state.

It is an ability that does not activate between artifacts such as buildings, but it can be activated freely in the sky where there are no artifacts nearby.

I broke into the inside of the temple through the roof.

It was not visible whether the body had already been recovered, but traces of the massacre remained everywhere.

It was a fairly large temple, so of course a considerable number of priests and paladins were staying.

There must have been priests accompanying Elina, so the number must have been greater.

A lot of people’s blood was shed, so this was only natural.

“But, the question is, how did you kill him?”

Neftam’s priests receive minimal training to use weapons according to its doctrine.

Paladins, of course, even more so. They were stronger than most knights through a combination of divine magic and weapon skills.

Instead, due to the rarity of the ability to use divine power, the small number of them was a disadvantage.

Anyway, when it comes to Neftam’s Paladins, they weren’t easily defeated in most battles.

nevertheless suffered

In addition, there were clear traces of not being able to resist properly.

‘no way…’

There was a guess.

However, it is still too early for that to come out.

And if it was… it would be a significant threat.
