2nd Round Villain

177 – The Mischievous Magician’s Riddle – 2

The largest intelligence organization in the Demon World, the Central Intelligence Agency of the Devil’s Castle. Also known as ‘Majungjeong’.

Even today, a telegram came to the organization that peacefully sells information to the demons and searches for those who have gone.

From one of the Four Pillars, the highest power in the demon realm.

– Did you find out who Oscar Lucifer is from Eden Academy?

Grand Duke of the West, Succubus Queen Lilith. It was a telegram from her.

The intelligence officer sent a response right away.

– No, not yet. If you give me a little more time… .

– You don’t have to. I think I found it. But I’m not sure yet, you guys find out.

– Who is it? If you provide your identity, we will investigate further.

– Freshman Evans Grant. Since he is from a dark country, he will have a hard time finding information, but if he entered Eden Academy as a freshman, he would have some information.

Evans Grant. It wasn’t a common name. The intelligence officer called for joy inwardly.

– Received. Please leave it to us.

Recently, they have received some unusual information. Five hundred years ago, Confucius, who had run away from the Lucifer family, who had the title of one of only four dukes in the underworld, was found at Eden Academy.

The person who asked for the information was the demon of the northern duchy. An escort warrior for the Grand Duke of the North, Adela Lucifer.

Oscar Lucifer. The third son of the Northern Dukes. A demon who ran away from home 500 years ago, leaving behind only one letter, and disappeared after making a big fuss at an auction house in the western part of the Pandemonium.

Whether he lived or died is unknown. The place where Oscar’s last step was headed was Magic Forest, and even the information from the Central Intelligence Agency could not reach the place where the continent and the demon world’s portal were twisted because of the existence of the Five Kings. Although he became one of the Four Kings due to a meteorite called by a human archmage a hundred years ago.

Suddenly, the Northern Dukes contacted him that he had infiltrated the continent’s Eden Academy. This is because Adela’s efforts to find the whereabouts of her younger brother, who has been missing since becoming a duke, shined.

After completing communication with Duke Lilith of the West, it was time for the Intelligence Department to start an investigation into the academy’s Evans Grant. A new telegram fell in front of him. It was a telegram condensed with advanced mana.

– smart.

It was a short telegram. The informant, who was anxiously trying to check the telegram, was shocked when he identified the sender.

‘I, the Grand Duke of Southern King… !’

It was because it was a telegram from a demon who had been in deep sleep for hundreds of years. King, a monster who has lived the longest in the Demon Realm and is only satisfied with the position of duke without intentionally becoming a demon king. A duke who could stir up the Demon Realm with just one step had awakened from a long slumber.

– I want you to find just one demon… .

The informant immediately straightened up and responded to the telegram. The demons who had gone before were also the same dukes, but the king’s dignity was one step higher than that. It was all the more so because it had been an outside activity for a long time.

– Please tell me your name.

– to… therefore… Oscar. Was it Oscar Lucifer? Probably so. He was the youngest of the Northern Dukes. My memory is fuzzy.

King’s subsequent telegrams further puzzled the intelligence service.

– … yes?

– It’s a shame. I heard clearly with this old ear that he promised to find a new servant within 500 years… . You shouldn’t ignore it just because it’s a promise with an old man. isn’t it? young people?

– oh… yes yes. I think so.

– I see. Let me know as soon as you finish your investigation. Good job.

– Yes, come in.

Three of the Four Dukes of the Demon World were looking for a demon.

“bruise!”

Aru barks at me entering the room through the window. Seeing that he had no wounds on his body, he must have lightly fooled the two paladins and the imperial knight commander.

“Woof woof! late! late!”

“Be quiet. Wake up the others.”

“Then don’t be late! I’m bored!”

As I was washing my hands in the sink, Aru patted me. No, isn’t this guy tired? Two elite paladins at the head of the imperial knights are by no means weak, right?

“So you put three humans on it. You should have had a good time with them.”

“You are too weak! I passed out after one hit!”

“… hit you? why?”

“Slow! Even if you speed up a little, you can’t follow me while panting! So I patted him on the back to cheer up, and he passed out vomiting blood! Absolutely weak!”

Hey man! How can a weak human endure if you hit it with your own strength! A prank like that would only be accepted by Beatrice or Nioh!

No, seriously, it would be too much for a Nioh. ‘Cause he’s never strong Right now, I’m not a martial artist either, but if Aru hits me, my shoes hurt.

“… Did you hit the guy in white or the guy in yellow?”

“yellow!”

“Whoa, that’s fortunate. Maria could have returned if she had touched the church.”

“bruise? Did I do well?”

“Are you good? hmm… Did you do well? Because I hit the guy in the yellow suit.”

“Woof woof! Then praise me!”

Aru stuck out his tongue and panted like a puppy. The appearance is so childish, the desire to hit it in an instant is strong. It’s a compliment for something you did well, a compliment.

Whoa, let’s wait. It’s never sticky. It is an effort to refrain from violence on my own so that Maria’s efforts are not in vain.

“Come on, praise. okay?”

Instead of tying a bean to Aru’s forehead, he stretched out his hand and stroked it. Aru laughed loudly. Even just a moment ago, I was annoyed and barak-barak. Maybe it’s because he’s a beast, but his emotions change quickly.

“But what is that in the corner?”

He pointed to an object that had occupied a space in the dormitory room and was emitting a presence with an incongruous color tone.

Covered in black fur, it looked like leather at first glance, but upon closer inspection it was a rolled fur coat.

It’s definitely something that wasn’t there until I left the room.

“that? The wolves gave it away.”

“Wolves? why? What is that?”

“The proof of being a king? It was like that. If you wear it, wolves you see for the first time will automatically bow their heads?”

“You got something good. Use it wisely.”

Wolves also have proof. first time i knew

Well, people do not serve John just because he is gifted with the qualities of being the king of men. He didn’t even recognize that he was a king. Is there anything different about being a wolf? there must be some proof

“Look at what you are wearing! curious.”

“uh?”

Aru jumped up and grabbed the black coat and wrapped it around his body. Thick, dark leather wrapped around her pure white body, wearing only a tank top and dolphin pants.

It was more like a cloak of sorts. Should I say Jangpo? Anyway, it was very harmonious with Aru’s blue muddy hair.

A slightly different image from the usual Aru.

“how is it? how is it?”

“You should refrain from walking around at night wearing them. People who see it for the first time will be scared.”

“bruise? why! why! I like this!”

“Not because of you, but because of other people. Do you have anything to do to stop the hearts of the poor humans?”

Just by looking at the force, you would think he was the Four Dukes of the Demon World, no, the Demon King. To think that a boy with ultramarine blue hair, who gave off a sense of murder, even wore a silk-colored coat like that.

In fact, Aru looks like a spoiled puppy to me, but to other people, it’s no different from a fat dog. Perhaps the nickname given by the students was Aru the Dog Demon.

“Ki-ing… It’s good… .”

Aru, who was downcast at my words. Even he has an intangible aura that lowers the atmosphere, and the color of the space has become darker. It was even more so because of the black clothes.

“For now, put on your school uniform. Because it’s feeding time soon. Well, the alarm just goes off.”

The sound of the trumpet waking up the academy students resonates loudly. I hurriedly tidy up my school uniform and get dressed. Actually, at this moment, I only have one interest.

Will the princess be able to answer my riddle? Of course I hope she misses, and I expect she won’t.

Because, anyway, most of an academy student’s day is tied to classes. From 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, 8 hours!

Albrecht has less than four hours to make up his mind and begin his investigation. It’s because I’m going to pick up Maria at 8pm.

You can look for more in the library, but the information available there is limited. Could there be anything related to the Pandemonium in the academy library? From the moment I first solved the riddle, I had an intuition of my victory.

– said, I had no doubts.

“Today, Her Highness is not attending class because she is ill.”

what.

“You guys take care of yourself too. Recently, something ugly happened on campus… At times like this, you need to be more mindful and study. Did everyone know?”

“Yeah, it must be that there are ghosts in the academy… ! They’re trying to kill Veronica-senpai and attack Her Highness as well… !”

“Hey, don’t talk about strange topics. What are ghosts these days! Concentrate on your studies!”

No, students have to take classes! Where is the law like this!
