269. Penitential Offering (1)

Logan, who returned to the dorm together after looking at the gifts that were not gifts, suddenly spoke as Seongjin entered the entrance.

"Go in first and rest, Seongjin Lee. "I have somewhere to visit from now on."

"huh? "Where are you going?"

"It's been a while since I've been to Regina, but I still have to go to church."

Logan added that it had been his intention from the beginning to visit the church and meet the vicar.

"what? Then tell me sooner. Isn't it the complete opposite direction? "You have to come all the way here and then go back to the city."

"Still, I have to see that you get back to your dorm safely. "I promised Brother Masain that I would take good care of you so you wouldn't have an accident."

"... ... ."

Seongjin was dumbfounded.

no wonder. Even though I said they wanted to go out alone, they obediently let me go. Was it all because of Logan?

But how far are you going to treat me like an immature child? Sir Masain. There's no age difference between us, so don't you think the discrimination between me and Logan is too much?

Even though my mental age is much higher!

[This nonsense is at the level of severe dementia, so it could be treated like an elderly person, right?]

'shut up!'

Logan explained the church in detail to Seongjin.

Regina's church is a place that exorcists and inquisitors traveling through the North must pass through at least once.

In the north, where there were no decent parishes and public security was a mess, these paladins often wandered alone without proper support. Then, when I finally arrive in Regina, I gather my tired body and unravel the information I have gathered.

So, it is the first place where you can find reliable information about the Northern Dark Church as well as the current status of devil worshipers.

"It looks like we will have to form a punitive force again soon, so I think we need to gather information from the North in advance and plan a route."

Seongjin blinked at those words.

"wait for a sec. "Didn't you decide to stick to the ecliptic this year?"

"I originally planned to do that, but... ... ."

Logan's face darkened as he spoke.

After joining Seongjin and his party, Logan heard in detail about the appearance of the Yakcha, Milo Merchant Marine, and the Demon Beast. It is also almost certain that the dark church is behind it.

I can't help but think that the Dark Church's evil forces may have been spreading deep throughout the North for longer than he expected.

Above all, the words the devil shouted at Sigismund's Territory continued to haunt me.

-There was more at stake in your death than you thought! Even if the Guardian hadn't stolen you, a lot would have changed now.

They say they are already working with the Knights of Saint Aurelion to dig into them little by little, but is that really enough?

Perhaps we should organize a punitive force and begin a proper long-term investigation.

"Didn't you raise your allowance as a condition of helping with the monster task force work in the imperial capital? What if it gets cut again? "After investing in 'Bertrán & Lee,' there will be almost nothing left, right?"
