The Demon King's Paladin Part 2. All Out War.

Chapter 475. More Questions With No One To Answer

" Charlotte... You said that it was supposed to cause paralysis for Demons and Dark Elves, right?"

" No."

" No? But I thought you sai-"

" Like I said, the language used originally is supposed to do that, but it's been customized. If you look here for instance, you can see these Runes... I don't know them, which is why I thought it was so strange..."

" Wait, you don't recognize them?"

" No. I don't. That's why I've been staring at it... I don't get what it's supposed to do... Well, I suppose I know since I was affected by it. The pain that I felt... It was like I was being eaten alive form the inside out. Though that was only until you and Cynthia saved me, Matthew. Thank you both for that."

" But if it's for Demons... Why didn't it affect Cynthia and Carra then?"

" Well, I'm not an expert about these things, but if I had to take a guess, it's because of that."

As we were all still in the cabin, Charlotte took some time to take a look at the symbol drawn on the wall, after a few minutes, a question came to my mind. So after trying to confirm what Charlotte had said previously, I wanted to know why only Charlotte was affected instead of Cynthia and Carra. Though it looks like it's not that simple. As Charlotte quickly pointed to what she thinks is the answer to my question. We both look at the symbol and I notice that the symbol that Charlotte said was the character for Demon. But after putting a bit of my flame towards it, I could see that a giant crack had formed in the spot where the Demon Rune was. It was a small one right on the rim of the character... Now that I looked at it fully, it looked like a lower case d surrounded in a circle and right at the top of the circle, there was a small crack that broke up the character.

" Really? It just takes a small crack to break the enchantment?"

" Yes. In theory at least. In actuality, usually there's guards and the surfaces that are used are usually made of powerful earth magic and the like. The fact that it was done here tells me that something was wrong... Maybe they were pressed for time or something?"

" Who's to say..."

" Hey! Look at this!"

As Charlotte and I were lost in the dark trying to figure out what the hell was going on with this strange enchantment, Cynthia called out to us from the other end of the cabin. She had a stack of papers in her hands. I guess whoever was using this place left in a hurry if they left important documents... Or at least I hope they did.

" What did you find, Cynthia?"

I called out to her to see what she found. She placed the papers on the table in what would've been the " living room" space of the cabin. The papers were spread out and I was surprised to see what was there.

" Dates, times... Activities?"

" Farming, training, hunting... Official work? Who's schedule is this?"

The papers seemed strange to me. Almost familiar...

" Wait! These dates!"

" What? What about them?"

" They're from June from a year and a half ago... It's what I was doing when we first arrived here... But why?"

" So they really were observing you. This confirms it."

Cynthia was relatively calm about the whole thing. I didn't think my guess was completely correct but it looks like it was... But...

" This still doesn't make sense... Why?"
