(EP-99.1) Cannot Be Buried #2
099 – The Truth Cannot Be Buried #2
I told Stella about my findings regarding the ‘Adventure Club’.
And that there was a man named Isaiah Gospel, who might be the Demon King Angmar’s descendant.
Listening to my story, Stella dropped into her chair which made a squeaking noise.
Then she propped up her legs on the table and casually crossed them, without even taking off her slippers. Finally, she took a cigar from who knew where and flicked her finger to light it.
“Huu.”
The cramped and messy laboratory was quickly filled with stinky cigarette smoke.
My throat got itchy and I started coughing while my eyes stung. Meanwhile, Professor Stella just stared blankly at the ceiling.
It was only after a moment of silence that she finally said something.
“It was the Golden Era, an age where all kinds of heroes were born and gathered. At that time, the remnants of the Demon King’s faction were also purged.”
“The Golden Era?”
“Yes, from Reinhardt to Aleister, to Tarantera and rulers of distant neighbours. It wasn’t uncommon to see Paladins and Saint candidates in one area.”
“So, who was Isaiah Gospel?”
“He was our pillar. He was a dreamer, and the Adventure Club started with him. There’s this ridiculous story that somewhere in Ark lay Demon King Solomon’s treasure...”
“Which is why it’s called ‘Adventure Club’. We were on an adventure to find the Demon King’s treasure.”
“I see...”
I quietly digested Professor Stella’s words. But I really want to know something. freёwebnovel.com
“So about the man named Isaiah. Since you were with him at that time, you should know, right?”
“Know what?”
Seuk-.
Her amber colored eyes turned towards me. It looked like she wanted more information out of me.
“If he was a descendant of King Angmar. Considering the time, he should’ve been the son or nephew of the late king.”
“Most of the information about this was either erased or destroyed. For you to have guessed this much from limited information, I would’ve given you an A if this was a class. But yes, it is like what you said, Theo Gospel. He was indeed the King’s son.”
It was just as I expected.
But then, who was I?
The son’s son?
I began to suspect my own existence.
“So where is Isaiah Gospel, No.... Where is Isaiah Angmar now?”
“What would you do if you found out?”
Clattering-.
Her slippers suddenly started to rattle. From the smoking, to casually shaking her feet, it felt like I was at a disadvantage in this conversation.
So I said in a grave tone.
“Isn’t there only one thing to do to an Angmar descendant? We must find and eliminate them for the Kingdom’s safety.”
“Hmm, that’s the textbook answer.”
“However, Lord Aleister and Reinhardt didn’t do that. Not to mention stop him, they didn’t even report it. Why is that?”
