62 – No, so where is Lepista’s wand – 2

“attack?”

“……Yes.”

Christine’s head tilts to one side.

I returned to the world of demons because I was in trouble, but the word that came to my ears was ‘raid’.

It seems to be more serious than he thought, so an ominous energy rises in an instant.

“Artel. Are you certain?”

“Yeah. Undoubtedly.”

“I would like to hear the details.”

“therefore… On the side of Peltyr Hill… ”

It was also difficult for Artel to remain calm, but she began to explain the situation while trying to remain as calm as possible.

Peltir Hill is the highest terrain in Pandemonium.

It’s not only high, but it’s not a difficult place for demons to live, so there are also a few demons living there.

Harpies are a prime example. They live in high terrain, accumulate wealth and make a living by collecting and selling various information from the demon realm.

One thing to note is that Peltir Hill is regulated as a lawless area.

This is also related to the habit of harpies who hate violence, and they move by being thoroughly swayed by intimacy and affection.

Therefore, they are not regulated by the laws of the demon realm, which are usually followed by demons, and live independently among themselves without being controlled by anyone.

Goods are merely a means to sustain their livelihood.

‘We have a friendly relationship with the harpies.’

Vampires don’t really like the blood of harpies, so there’s no reason to vampirize them, and harpies have no reason to hate vampires who are quite gentlemen compared to other demons.

A naturally created mutually beneficial relationship. Thanks to this, the friendly relationship between vampires and Peltir Hill had been well maintained. very well.

“As Christine-nim knows, the harpies of Feltyr Hill have a fairly friendly relationship with us, don’t they?”

“Yes, of course. We wanted to help each other, but not harm.”

“But it seems that the Demon Dragons intervened this time. the sin of greed. Regita started moving.”

“The sin of greed… ?”

“Yes. At first, they said they offered up their treasures and asked for information.”

Christine shakes her head at Artel’s words.

“But harpies are a race that acts according to affection and intimacy… ”

“Yes. you’re right. So it seems that the harpies of Peltir Hill completely ignored that request.”

“Mmm.”

“But it is said that Regita openly gave the order to raid. So, it is said that the Demon Dragons have virtually occupied Peltyr Hill.”

My head started pounding. Christine runs her fingers over her temples.

“Nothing insults a harpy more than trying to control it by force. How do you act like that… ”

“Why did you act like that… I hadn’t even heard of that… ”

Artel puts on a puzzled expression.

“Who was it that brought the news? Are you here now?”

“Yes. It’s across the door.”

“Go inside now.”

When Artel opens the door, a harpy with orange feathers immediately enters Christine’s residence.

The harpy, whose injuries to one of his wings looked very serious, almost fell to the ground.

“It’s called Harpia of Feltir Hill! Do, help!”

Confused, Christine couldn’t come up with a quick answer. Then Harpia begged again.

“Lepista’s wand… ! He’s demanding the other half of the map with the location of Lepista’s wand! If we continue like this, our map will be taken away and we will continue to be dominated!”

“Lepista’s wand… ”

Christine muttered the name for the first time in a while.

‘Come to think of it, we commissioned that map.’

And then, I gradually forgot about it.

When he first took office as the sin of pride, he was interested in obtaining Lepista’s wand because he needed to publicize his status.

However, Jekiel saved Christine’s status to the utmost, and Lepista’s interest in the wand was gradually fading…

“What do you mean by half the rest of the map?”

“that… The map with the location of Lepista can only function as a map when two sheets are put together. But one piece was stolen in the middle.”

“Seize?”

“Yes. I think that might also be the work of the demon dragons… ”

-Yes, I promise. Christine will never touch you.

Did that promise mean that, or on the contrary, did it mean that he would touch everything except Christine without hesitation?

Christine bites her lip.

“Of course I have to help.”

Even though Feltir Hill is an area where the law does not apply, it is unacceptable to attack like that.

Christine will need a lot of information in the future to protect the place of sin that she obtained from Jekiel’s help, and it is only natural that she help with this task.

However, Artel looks embarrassed.

“But it is difficult to know how to help. If we collide head-on, I wonder if I’m just giving an excuse to the demon dragons who like war… ”

“It is.”

Maybe that’s what Regita really wants.

Having inherited the blood of a gold dragon better than anyone else, she goes crazy when she sees a treasure, and this is an attribute that overlaps a bit with vampires who are interested in decoration.

He must be burning with ambition to dominate the vampire race once.

Artel is Christine’s exclusive assistant, so if you want to go out, you have to come together with Christine, and let’s send Fertel, so he’s handling a mission in the human world…

“A person who does not hold a high-level position, can avoid a head-on collision, and can even solve the situation… ”

“Christine-sama, there is no one like that among her servants.”

“Um… It is too.”

Then Harpia shouted.

“Anyone is fine! Anyone is fine, so please send it… ! We appreciate that alone!”

“We also want to let everyone go, but… ”

As we have discussed and pondered so far, it is a problem because we have to let go without giving an excuse for a head-on collision.

If the conflict between the vampires and the dragons explodes, Peltyr Hill will also face a disastrous future.

“Even now, my friends are waiting for me to return from Peltir Hill… ! I believe that anyone will bring a vampire!”

“Ten minutes. Please wait in the bedroom for ten minutes. First of all, you need to lie down comfortably.”

“Please… please! Because there is affection in the past… please!”

Artel sends the crying Harpia out the door. Another henchman immediately took over it and escorted Harpia to the bedroom.

Whoa, sighing deeply, Christine parted her lips with a serious face.

“How about making a deal with Vivian?”

“Are you talking about Vivian?”

“Yes. I heard that among the elixirs they use, there are also elixirs that change appearances. It would be better for me to hide and go help myself… ”

“Christine! Absolutely not!”

Artel screamed.

“In the end, isn’t it that Vivian will find out the truth of this incident? This is a guy you can never trust. Cheating for a while will only lead to bigger problems later!”

“okay… It’s not that I don’t know… ”

However, it just hurts my heart to leave this situation like this.

It was the harpies of Peltir Hill who treated them kindly just because they were vampires and doubled their information.

However, it was lamentable that I couldn’t do anything because this actually happened.

“There really aren’t any vampires that fit the conditions.”

“Yes. No Christine.”

Artel nodded and continued.

“A vampire with the ability to resolve the situation must be a vampire holding a high-ranking position in the underworld. Then a head-on collision cannot be avoided.”

“It is.”

“The reverse is also true. If you’re a low-ranking vampire who can avoid a head-on collision, you won’t have the ability to resolve the situation.”

“Then, how do you think Artel is wise to deal with this situation?”

“I would like to try and calm the harpy. The best way is to just close your eyes and appease the demon dragons to provide information.”

“If you do that, your relationship with us will be estranged… ”

Christine bit her lip.

Even if the relationship with us becomes estranged, the first thing to do is to let them survive.

smart-

Then someone knocked on the door.

“Wait a little longer. The story comes to an end!”

Artel shouted at the door, but the door just opened.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you in the Demon Realm.”

And what appeared was a man who always looked tired.

“…!”

“…?”

Complex expressions intersect on Christine and Artel’s faces.

Come to think of it, I couldn’t even think of it.

A vampire who does not hold a high-ranking position in the demon realm, but at the same time possesses outstanding abilities. I mean Jekyll.

“How are you here now… ?”

Christine asked.

He seemed very busy with what he had to do in the human world. So, of course, I hadn’t even thought about it…

“Has anything happened?”

However, the man does not answer Christine’s questions. I just asked.

“It’s time for something big to happen.”

“……?”

How did know.

Christine’s and Artel’s faces tilt at the same time.
