Regressor Instruction Manual

Untitled Part 161

"That's a very good decision, Pope."

"And, as soon as you identify the whereabouts of those dirty demon minions rooted in the continent, please let the Church know. I will send the Holy Knights in myself."

"Yes."

"Do they dare to harm the Goddess, Director of Inquisition Helena?"

"Yes."

"You are going to start interrogating other informants spread across the continent from Demon Summoner Jin Qing today. I can't stay still for even one moment."

"Yes, your Holiness."

'Ah. Jin Qing bastard... You're going to have a hard time.'

I hadn't expected Jin Qing to suffer.

The trial was coming soon, and it was a relatively relaxing time, but I had to remain silent for the guy who would soon be subjected to unexpected and harsh torture.

As far as I was concerned, it was convenient for the demons' whereabouts to come out of Jin Qing's mouth.

I thought it wouldn't be that bad to try to meet with him once. There should be a relatively cumbersome negotiation process, but it didn't matter.

Who was strong and who was weak had already been decided. If I offered something, the other side had no choice but to accept it.

'They say it's better to strike while the iron is hot.'

It didn't sound much like an irrational plan.

"I'll go there myself, Pope Basel."

"Will you do that?"

"Yes. I, too, can't stand it because I'm worried about Goddess Benignore. I don't know if it will help, but let me convince him."

"If the Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung is coming, then that's reassuring. Yes!"

"I just do my best for the Goddess."

"I trust only in you."

'Okay. I'll also trust only you.'

When I saw Pope Basel moving away after a hug, I began to smile. When I realized that finally, the work was over, Jung Hayan, who had been walking around at a reasonable distance, rushed in.

Cho Hyejin and Yuno Kasugano slowly approached us as they talked, and Elena was still watching out for others.

The people I brought in to be prepared if anything happened had become surplus power. Of course, it would be better to think of it as a form of vacation, but the problem was that I could cut the tension with a knife.

I thought Hee-ra would also come towards me quickly, but she seemed curious about something else.

"Honey."

"Yes"

"Benignore's voice... Did you really hear it?"

"You don't believe me?"

"Since you lie around a lot... Well, it's your karma."

"..."

"..."

"It's true, Hee-ra. Honestly, I didn't think I could hear it, but things worked out well. Maybe I had answered all the questions in my mind that you would be curious about... I'll tell you more about it later. There are more important issues than that. I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear it."

"What is it?"

"Quest creation will stop for a while across the entire continent. Of course, there will be differences in each region, but there are no other quests except class-related or tutorial dungeons."

"You're kidding, right?"

"Access to dungeons above the legendary-grade level will be restricted. It seems it was true that something happened up there."

"That's... not good news. But that's quite amazing... Honey, are you really communing with the gods?"

"I only just got lucky."

"Anyway... it will get quite noisy... Can you fix this? No, how long will that even take?"

"Three years. Of course, if we try to reduce it, we can probably lessen it. I'm thinking about how to do it in my mind. That's why I'll visit Jin Qing. I didn't really want to see his face, but I have no choice."

"Hmm."

"I-I don't like him very much."

"Me too, Hayan. But what can I do? I need to. Oh, and you don't have to follow me from here on out. I think everyone should just rest in a suitable place. Let's eat dinner together after work."

"Okay. Well, I had something to do in the capital anyway."

"Okay..."

"Will you be okay?"

"Yes. I'm only going to have a quick conversation with the Demon Summoner."

Jung Hayan had appealed with her eyes, as if asking me to take her too, but if I were to take one, I would've needed to take all of them.

Since it wouldn't take much time, it wouldn't be bad if I went back and forth alone.

'Is he doing well...?'

Actually, that was a little late.

Since he was put in jail, I couldn't even see his nose.

"That bastard's life span is way too long."

As I moved to the underground interrogation room located within the Church, the dark and damp interior greeted me immediately.

The entire place didn't fit someone as holy as Light Kiyoung.
