I Can See Your Code

I see your code (24)

“… … witch hunt?”

There’s a witch I recently met, so I keep going in the wrong direction.

“commons. Do you know who Byron is?”

then. It’s a sign your father even introduced you to.

Rather, seeing that name appearing, it seems that he is right.

“It is not well known, but he is the man who ruled the dark district of Layton for the first time in years. Yet no one knows its power.”

“What does this have to do with witch hunting?”

“The Byron showed herself publicly for the first time.”

what? Byron?

It’s been at least three years since he’s revealed himself publicly.

In other words, the story was twisted.

“And I asked for a witch hunt in the temple of Khitan.”

“The witch has purple hair and red eyes. right?”

“Did you already know? commons. Information is fast.”

Damn, that’s what I thought.

He wouldn’t have been found out about this being a witch for at least 10 years.

“That’s not a witch, it’s a witch hunter who has been officially licensed in the temple.”

“… … Do you even know such a thing? This is the information we just found out… … .”

“So, what happened?”

Zyre opened his mouth with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

“Byron had a godsend.”

“… … .”

With that one word, everything made sense. The right to ask the temple for cooperation. And, I didn’t understand. In addition to being revealed, even the use of a new shield.

too much

Because the witch knows her powers?

No, it’s still too much. The witch knows very little about Byron’s abilities. guess that too. It’s not worth showing up and using even the new shield.

Let’s think about it.

Why is Byron coming out so hastily? It will expose a fatal weakness.

So, what is Byron’s fatal weakness?

‘Blue veins.’

I can not understand it.

The blue blood vessel itself is a fatal weakness.

Because it’s the bloodline of the empire. Although he came from a branch that was not even treated as an imperial family, the 3 Kingdoms wouldn’t take such a situation.

The problem is this.

It’s not about knowing the blue veins, it’s about knowing what the blue veins are.

There’s nothing wrong with knowing the word blue veins.

A secret among the secrets of the Empire.

In short, at this point in time when the empire was destroyed, very few knew.

I went out and said, ‘I want to eat Jajangmyeon!’ Who cares if I scream?

I don’t know what that means.

Few people know enough about that prudent Byron to tell his subordinates, and there is no way to know. But the fact that he came out this far means that the witch has noticed the blue veins.

“How is your father related?”

“I asked my father for help at the temple.”

“… … Did Byron let it go?”

“You can only ask for your cooperation as a godfather. I can’t figure out how to solve it. commons.”

Mistakes that aren’t Byron. It sounds so urgent.

“Let’s see your father first.”

The story was twisted, but twisted in my favor.

“What do you think?”

“What do you mean?”

To Jerry’s question, Teyer Terberoz answered.

“It’s a witch hunt.”

“Ah, what about that? Is there any problem?”

“This is an official request from the temple. Byron, if he’s tangled up in this way, it won’t look good in the temple.”

“It sounds like there’s a problem with my business.”

“… … Excuse me, but yes.”

Thayer Terberoz smiled.

It’s been a long time since Jerry’s has been asserting his thoughts like this.

That said, this decision is shocking.

“Can I ask why you think so?”

“It doesn’t fit.”

Jerry said cautiously, but firmly.

“Finding out and hunting witches is one of the main tasks of the temple. It is so important and dangerous. It doesn’t make sense to send an incompetent kid on a mission like that.”

“You’re a little boy with no powers… … .”

Thayer Terberoz tapped the armrest with his finger.

“There are two loopholes in your view.”

“What is it?”

“First of all, witch hunting is the main task of the temple. But who is it?”

“I am a witch hunter.”

“okay. A witch hunter who passed the witch trial. Do you know what that means?”

“… … sorry.”

it means don’t know There is nothing strange about it. No one knows about witches, but little is known about their abilities or the trial process. This is because the tower and the temple control information.

“I don’t even know the witch’s abilities.”

“… … yes.”

Those words sounded like a rebuke, and Jerry bowed his head.

“I will raise my head. what are you talking about I have no intention of making you fight a witch.”

“I don’t know the ability, but I can win.”

“Of course, I believe in your skills.”

Seeing Jerry’s furious look, Tair Terberoz said with a smile.

He said so, but he wasn’t sure what would happen if the two fought.

A 5 star wizard and a 3rd class knight.

No matter who you ask, they will raise the hand of a third-class knight. Still, a magician who is weak in person-to-person combat. Even a 3rd-level knight is comparable to a 6-star mage, not a 5-star.

But, what about a five-star witch?

‘Well.’

He continued without questioning the question.

“Witch trials take place over a month.”

“… … You mean it took that long?”

Jerry asked in surprise.

I don’t know the details, but it’s usually because I’ve seen the witch’s neck hang before the first week of the trial.

“okay. But so far, the witch hunter has only filled one month.”

“Why?”

Is the interrogation of the temple so good?

I didn’t even know it was going to be revealed as a witch without even a month’s need. Jerry’s thought so, but he had no choice but to open his mouth at Thayer’s words that followed.

“It’s usually because they commit suicide within a week.”

“… … What kind of interrogation… … .”

Thayer Terberoz leaned back in his chair.

“They say they cut off their fingers on the first day. And connected again with the priest’s healing. You repeat that with ten fingers alternately.”

“… … .”

Jerry’s face hardened in an unexpected way.

“The second day is the toes, the third day the hands, the fourth day the feet. On the fifth day, they give you a choice. Will the eyes be plucked or the tongue will be plucked out.”

“… … .”

“I haven’t heard anything since a week. Because no one can stand it.”

“that is… … Does it have any meaning?”

Such an interrogation… … No, if you are tortured, you will have no choice but to confess, even if you are not a witch. it doesn’t mean anything

“It has meaning. At least we can find out whether the person being questioned is a witch or not.”

“How do you mean?”

“Witches can omit chants and use magic.”

“that… … .”

It was an answer that did not connect with the previous words, but Jerry’s couldn’t help but be surprised.

There is one reason why wizards are weak in person-to-person combat.

that the chanting takes a long time.

But if you don’t cast a spell, how do you deal with it? His expression hardened as he imagined the invisible attacks coming in ceaselessly.

“If that’s all there is to it, there’s no reason why witches should be rejected. Rather, I don’t know if it’s revered.”

“Are there any other problems?”

“Witches don’t skip chants. You can’t.”

“… … Yes?”

“You mean you have no control over your magic.”

Thayer Terberoz said, lifting the cup from the table.

“What if the wizard wants to break this cup?”

“I will sing the magic that will break the cup.”

“right. So what kind of witch doesn’t need a chorale?”

“… … I do not know.”

“It’s simple. Just imagining it.”

Clink!

The cup fell from Tayer’s hand and shattered, scattering the contents everywhere.

“Witches cannot control magic. If you imagine it will happen. That’s the reason for being rejected. No matter how good a person is, can he live his life without a single bad thought?”

“… … .”

“Then what about torture? If someone cut off their hands, feet, or tongue in front of you, would you be able to bear the thought of killing him?”

“that… … It would be impossible.”

If he was tortured like that just out of suspicion, even a saint would have no choice but to be angry.

At least Jerry couldn’t stand it.

“So far, the guilt rate of the suspects captured by the temple has been 100%. Because she’s a real witch, whether the interrogator gets killed, or commits suicide because she can’t stand the torture, in the end, she turns her into a witch.”

“… … But didn’t the witch hunter pass that trial?”

“okay. The only exception. The one who endured that torture for a month. The one who broke 100% of the guilt of the temple.”

Thayer Terberoz got up from his chair and walked towards the window.

“Is that person now a witch? funny sound. Even the shrine only pretends to cooperate because of the gods and loses, but I don’t think she’s a real witch. I’m just pretending to be a judge. Asking me for help is just a gesture of acknowledging my authority.”

“… … Are you saying Byron didn’t know that and even wrote a new card?”

“I don’t know about that. I don’t even need to know.”

“Yes?”

Jerry looked at Teyer Terberots full of doubts. Isn’t that Byron, which was ranked number one on the border not so long ago?

Are you suddenly reacting like that?

Looking at Jerry’s puzzled face, Teyer Terberots smiled.

“Weren’t there two loopholes? I think I forgot.”

“… … What else do you have?”

“The kid who said you had no powers. That kid daggered Byron twice.”

A Class B scavenger under Byron. And, an A-class swordsman and a witch hunter who was beaten this time.

“… … Isn’t that the achievement of the lion sword and the mage of the wind?”

“I almost got hit in the head a while ago, but I’m still confident in seeing people. Not those two.”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Tair Terberoz continued.

“I’m hoping, Rihanna, he’ll show you something this time around.”

“Are you talking about that kid?”

“okay. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why Byron is coming out like that. I was wondering if that guy might be able to reveal the reason.”

“… … If that’s the case, not only will you respond favorably to the temple’s gestures, but you’ll know what Byron is aiming for.”

“right.”

“If that’s the way it is, that’s it.”

Jerry shook his head.

“I can’t believe that little boy has such powers, no matter how much I think about it.”

“Then why don’t you make a bet?”

“… … Bet?”

Teyer Terberoz laughed as if it was funny.

“Soon my son will bring him. That’s when you get closer in hiding. If you notice, my victory, or yours. How is it?”

“Are you serious?”

Jerry’s face wrinkled.

Stealth is not a specialty. However, he didn’t even train to the point where he could get caught by such a kid.

“If you don’t like it, quit.”

“I’ll do it. But… … .”

“But?”

Jerry opened his mouth, pointing to the pieces of the broken cup and the liquid stained on the carpet.

“Is that something I have to clean up?”

“… … Call the maid.”

* * *

“I don’t.”

“… … Why?”

“Do I look like a caregiver?”

Find out the purpose of Byron, it’s easy. I’m already guessing. The problem is that the guy has his eyes turned. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to touch the beehive for nothing, so it’s not meant to be passed on to me.

“After saving my life, I warn you by pretending to be generous, and now you’re even trying to use it as a shield, but there are some people.”

“… … Just calm down.”

“Calm? Did you say calm down now? What else is that bastard? Are you going to threaten me if I’m wrong?”

[NPC-1-149-3]

When I asked while pointing to the code that appeared in the corner of the room, a man with a hard expression was revealed.

Sword of Noblesse, Jerry.

“… … How do you not? I didn’t even get close.”

“If you are going to breathe, wash a little, because the smell vibrates.”

“… … .”

As Jerry’s face hardened, Thayer Terberots opened his mouth hastily.

“If you already know everything, there is no need to explain.”

“I don’t need an explanation. Respect.”

got up from his seat

“I think I have shown enough respect so far. Respect to the head of Noblesse, to his friend’s father. Wrong?”

“… … That’s right.”

“But when you look at the way the Lord treats me, it is hard to say that he respects the lifesaver.”

turned around

Without hesitation, look determined.

“I hope we never meet again in the future. The last time I owed you was to warn me about Byron.”

I walked towards the door.

One step, two steps, three steps.

neither too fast nor too slow.

The moment you reach the door and grab the doorknob.

“… … Wait, I apologize. I didn’t mean to ask with a bare mouth. Tell me what you want.”

it’s moonshine
