“Is it possible? You know that too, right? This is a structure in which it is difficult to know the duties of other branches or other members of the organization.”

Ethan sighed and brushed his forehead.

“I know that. I mean, spit out everything you know, no matter how small the rumors are. After all, I make the decision.”

“… It’s really stupid. like. It wasn’t very rumored. A few years ago there was talk of recruiting gang members from the southern swamp side.”

“few years ago?”

“yes. I must have heard that rumor four years ago. But there are always rumors like this. Organizations always lack people. So I thought there was no need to talk about it.”

Ethan was deep in thought.

‘A few years ago, the Dark Followers had recruited members to the swamps of the South?’

It was also strange that such a suspicious thing such as a disappearance case was carried out at a base that had worked for years in that way.

‘It smells suspicious.’

There was a contradiction in the actions of the Dark Followers.

At that moment, Chloe and Charlotte, who were in the lead under Fenrir’s protection, shouted.

“I found it!”

“here! Here it is!”

It was a hoarse voice with no sense of crisis.

However, since the search team had already gotten used to their appearance, they focused only on their voices.

“This is the area with the cleanest magic response.”

Chloe pointed to the ground.

Ethan asked.

“How clean are you?”

“It’s not so clean that it’s heterogeneous. To express it, the feeling that the magic is flat rather than bumpy? It’s a feeling I haven’t felt anywhere else.”

“That was enough.”

Ethan exclaimed inwardly.

Chloe did her part very nicely.

No one could match Chloe or Charlotte, at least when it came to sensitive feelings.

‘Isn’t it fair because he is a descendant of a wise man?’

It was no exaggeration to say that even Edan barely gained face compared to the twins with a developed sense of humor.

And Chloe’s words about magic were exactly what Ethan wanted.

‘If you want to hide the tree in the forest, you should have done it right.’

Ethan laughed at the Dark Follower.

The southern swamps were full of monsters, so naturally generated magic overflowed in all directions.

So, to hide the traces of magical power, we just had to leave it alone.

Of course, that was an insecure method.

Those who developed a sense of humor like wizards were able to sense magic, mana, and divine power well.

Therefore, if you used dark magic, it was safest to erase the traces of magic.

‘The problem is that in this swamp area, without magic, it looks rather strange.’

It was clear that the Dark Follower had completely erased the magic and then artificially refilled it.

‘Magic power in the natural state is always imbalanced, and if you artificially fill it up, the difference will be clearly revealed.’

Ethan headed where Chloe and Charlotte were pointing.

And carefully checked it.

The magical powers of other places were strangely flat compared to the bumpy ones.

‘Too clean and evenly distributed magic power.’

It was a phenomenon that appeared because the mana was artificially filled.

“I found it.”

Ethan smiled.

Then Chloe and Charlotte spoke to Ethan with triumphant faces.

“Did you find it right?”

“But how did you find out about looking for suspicious places like this?”

“right. There was nothing like this in the books we read.”

The twins question bomb exploded again.

It was natural for them to be curious.

It was because it would be difficult to come up with such a method unless you have a broad understanding of magic.

Ethan looked around.

“I came up with it by accident. Erasing traces in a place full of magic, like the swamps of the South, will make it look artificial. The Dark Followers will try to hide their traces, so I thought about the characteristics that were revealed.”

“Aha, it’s a change of thinking.”

“You should practice thinking that way.”

Chloe and Charlotte seemed convinced.

Ethan shook his head and sighed.

‘If you don’t say it, it will stick to you more persistently, so it’s better to wrap it around like this.’

Of course, the truth was different.

This was the method devised by the twin’s ancestor, Nelson Lomon.

‘It’s ridiculous just thinking about it then.’

Suddenly memories of the past flashed through my mind.

Ethan closed his eyes tightly and cursed Nelson Lomon.

How much trouble did Ethan have for this tracking method devised by Nelson Lomon?

When you think about it, the twins in front of you were truly abominable beings.

‘When they grow up, they will do the same thing as if they were eating rice.’

Ethan clicked his tongue.

Even now, Chloe and Charlotte’s genius can only be admired.

But what if they all grow up later?

‘It must be the equivalent of that damn sage.’

In my previous life, I was bothered by one, but in this life, it even multiplied and doubled.

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Ethan shook his head to shake off his thoughts.

That was the moment.

When Ethan got up from his crouched body, a rotten and withered black hand flew towards Ethan.

months!

“… I think I found it right.”

A monstrous monster in human form stood in front of him.

Ethan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the monster.

* * *

“When?!”

“Obviously there were no signs.”

The mercenaries opened their eyes and prepared for battle.

“Chloe, first of all, Priest Ethan!”

“okay.”

So did Chloe and Charlotte.

They used their magic to awaken the circle-shaped mana rings in their hearts.

“Blessing of the wind!”

Chloe’s eyes gleamed blue.

Eventually, a wind of mana arose over Ethan, and the form changed into thick armor.

Even though it was made of wind, the shape of the armor was exposed outwardly how many layers were piled up.

“I will take charge of the mercenaries.”

“Then I’ll take care of the rest.”

Chloe and Charlotte used their magic without disturbing each other, as if they had even matched each other.

There was no gap between magic and magic, and the mercenaries were put on the armor of the wind.

“… … ?!”

“Great. After all, he’s a wizard of the Romon family.”

In an instant, the mercenary corps burst into exclamation.

It was because he had never experienced a wizard of this skill before.

and.

“What the hell is that monster?”

The monster in front of me was also one I had never seen before.

The mercenaries swallowed dry saliva.

Someone’s voice was heard as if answering their question.

“Subspecies monster… … .”

Chloe and Charlotte were startled by Ethan’s murmuring.

“A subspecies monster?!”

“Why is it here now?”

subspecies monster.

The old empire, which was cornered during the Anti-Magic War, came to create monsters in human form.

It meant replacing human soldiers with humanoid monsters.

And this experiment was also the most hated of the Pars Church among all the imperial atrocities.

The church believed that Pars created humans.

Because of this, the denomination was outraged, saying that experimenting with creating monsters in human form violates the doctrine and blasphemes Pars.

‘Priest Ethan, aren’t you going to kill that monster as it is?’

‘You have to stop it!’

The twins, who were well aware of the Pars Church’s wrath against the subspecies monster, shouted to Ethan.

“Priest, wait a minute!”

At that, Ethan looked back.

just as expected?

As Chloe and Charlotte had feared, there was a strange heat in Ethan’s eyes, a sign of suppression.

“Huh, the priest must have been very angry.”

“You have to stop killing them right away anyway!”

It was the first time Ethan had been so angry.

The twins laughed as if to appease a growling beast.

“Sah, Priest? Are you sure that’s a subspecies monster?”

“okay.”

“Well. Hey, I know how the Pars Church handles subspecies monsters, but please calm down for a moment. First, we need to track down the traces of the monster.”

“… … .”

Ethan looked silently at Chloe and Charlotte.

gulp.

The twins swallowed dry saliva.

Ethan’s eyes seemed to say something like this.

‘Leave that monster blaspheming Pars like this?’

Chloe and Charlotte knew each other well.

The Pars Church aimed to kill subspecies monsters as soon as they were found.

However, the meaning of starting the search is lost.

Since this was the case, they had to send the subspecies monster alive to chase the traces of the subspecies monster horde.

‘Ethan Priest Ethan may lose his temper.’

Chloe bit her lip.

Ethan’s appearance so far was the ideal priest himself.

Ethan must have been obedient to the doctrine.

It is said that in the old days, even Saint Eileen could not stand her anger in front of a subspecies monster.

Chloe and Charlotte looked at Ethan with eager eyes.

‘Please regain your sanity, Priest!’

Did their prayers finally arrive?

“… I’m not that reckless.”

The twins were delighted with Ethan’s voice.

‘Oh, I think you’re fine!’

But that was an illusion.

Chloe and Charlotte saw blood dripping from Ethan’s fist.

‘Oh, I guess not.’

He clenched his fists so hard to contain his anger that his nails were digging in.

Chloe and Charlotte looked at each other and whispered.

“I don’t think my anger has completely subsided.”

“Let us help you from the side.”

To be honest, I didn’t care about the doctrines of the Pars Church.

But there was one thing that was important to them.

“It’s an expedition with Priest Ethan, and we can’t fail our first mission.”

“right. We have a lot of information to pick from Priest Ethan in the future, so let’s get some points here.”

Chloe and Charlotte stared at the subspecies monster.

Ethan frowned.

“What are you pulling? I hear everything.”

* * *

“Blessing of the wind!”

Ethan felt the wind wrapped around him.

He glanced back slowly.

After Chloe and Charlotte each shared their roles, the wind’s protection was placed on the entire search team.

“… … !”

It was amazing.

‘Blessing the wind for all of the search team?’

The wind’s protection was 3rd circle magic.

Because of that, it wasn’t a magic that could be cast on all the search crews.

The magic used for combat personnel in the front was usually secondary magic of 2nd circle or 1st circle.

‘To be able to use circle 3 magic, that’s a huge talent.’

Ethan stuck out his tongue.

However, like Ethan, the mercenaries who admired Chloe and Charlotte’s skills quickly hardened.

“What the hell is that monster?”

Ethan opened his mouth as if answering the questions of the mercenaries.

“Subspecies monster… … .”

Once seen, it was an unforgettable sight.

Although most monsters are bizarre, they are in the form of beasts.

However, the monsters in front of them, unlike them, took human form.

There was a point where it was different from humans.

The skin of the subspecies monster was rotten everywhere, and the body was twisted as if it had been deprived of vitality.

‘I guess my prediction was right.’

There was a strange heat in Ethan’s eyes.
