Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

However, at this moment, she saw through the blind spot that there seemed to be a few more figures at the entrance of the Inquisition, and the surrounding Inquisition Knights also turned into mages wearing the same clothes... The number of people increased without a trace...

Regarding the increase in the number of people, Kato Megumi doesn't think this is normal... So? The real purpose is not the trial itself?

"High Priest Kerman, if you made a mistake, it's a mistake. Please don't use any excuses to justify your actions..." Hill raised his eyebrows. "Do you think that violating the rules for the sake of the temple can offset your mistakes? If so, wouldn't everyone be able to do whatever they want under the banner of the temple?"

"Nonsense, I don't understand what you are talking about. I have already said that I did this under duress. I already know that I was wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment of the temple."

Looking at Hill who was targeting him, Kman deliberately emphasized the four words "forced to do so", which obviously had a different meaning.

"You have no choice? I think you are flouting the temple's rules and regulations, acting recklessly and not taking the temple seriously."

As he spoke, Hill glanced around inconspicuously. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, he felt relieved and seemed to have calmed down from being impetuous.

His eyes became sharp, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed, and he asked Kman sarcastically.

"If it was just once, it would be fine. But you have done this many times. What else do you have to say?"

Kman saw the change in Hill's temperament, but he didn't care because his attention was all focused on the words that the other person uttered.

He didn't seem to expect that his previous actions were also known by the other party. It's impossible! He did it very secretly, how could he be discovered? Not to mention that the other party was just an ordinary priest. Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, Kman still tried to defend himself.

"I have no choice but to do this. If I hadn't been suppressed by the people above for a long time, I would have no new people to teach and no way to be promoted to participate in the rating. This kind of life is really unbearable with nothing to do. I just want to do my part for the temple..."

"You mean the Priest of Isis..."

Dilock suddenly spoke, interrupting the argument between the two. Then he turned his head with interest to look at Isis who was standing aside with a serious face, and suddenly said.

"Since the actions of the Isis priest are so unfair, what do you think should be done about the actions of the Isis priest?"

Dilock asked Kman in return.

Obviously, he had investigated everything thoroughly before the trial.

Kman was stunned. He didn't expect that the High Priest would say it before he could testify. Although this was a foreshadowing he had prepared, for some reason he always felt something was wrong.

It seemed like something was beyond his expectations.

As if to confirm his uneasy premonition, Isis, with blond hair and a serious face, slowly stood up, looked up at Dilock and said unhappily.

"Master Priest, now that you are ready, don't waste time here."

He slowly looked down at the stunned Kman with a look of contempt.

"In order to make your words absolutely correct, we have gone to great lengths to delay you for such a long time and wasted so much time. I think it's time to end it. I hope you can capture and imprison this traitor as soon as possible and stop wasting everyone's time."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 48 Chapter A Sudden Change

"Priest Isis, what do you mean? Why do you say I am a traitor to God..."

Kman was confused.

"You can't slander me so easily just because I told the truth... As a priest, my faith in God is unquestionable. I have dedicated my entire life to the temple. Why do you slander me so casually? Is it because I told you something that is unfavorable to you?!"

As he spoke, Kman's face turned resentful, clearly creating a scene where Isis abused his power and failed to distinguish right from wrong.

Regardless of what he himself thought, at least the jurors around him looked at him with meaningful eyes, and even whispered to each other in private.

This made the look towards Kman even worse.

"Could it be that what Kerman said is correct, and that Isis really abused his power for personal gain?"

"Who knows? This matter is not serious enough to be brought to the Inquisition. I just thought that Isis had teamed up with the new priest to punish Kman and give us a warning..."

"Speaking of which, why does this guy Kerman and Isis not get along so well? Does anyone know the reason?"

"I heard that it was because a friend of Priest Isis was also a priest and was once led by Instructor Kman. Later, for some unknown reason, the other party seemed to have died. Then, Isis gradually became at odds with Kman, and after becoming a priest, he suppressed the other party everywhere."

"I didn't expect this to happen, but why haven't I heard of it?"

"After all, this is a dark history, so naturally more people won't know about it. It seems that Isis even went to the court to report Kerman because of that incident... But in the end, it seems that due to insufficient evidence, he was severely punished."

"What do they mean by acting? Could it be that the High Priest already knew the whole story? Then why did he come here to judge..."

Seeing the priests on both sides whispering to each other, Isis's face became even darker.

Although these people thought their voices were very low, how could Isis, as a priest, not hear them clearly! Although these people were whispering, they looked at me with ill intentions while they were talking. Even if Isis was a fool, he could understand that their intention was not to communicate, but to complain to the priest in this way and disgust me at the same time.

Isis could see clearly that these people were whispering to each other on the surface, but in fact they didn't say a single good word. They were all from Manrovi, a faction that was hostile to him.

They didn't get along with Isis and often had friction with him in daily life, so when they saw this situation that was unfavorable to him, they immediately began to "openly" flatter him.

Especially when that incident that was a knot in his heart was brought up, his face became even more unhappy. Looking at Kman below, who looked angry on the surface but had cunning eyes, Isis couldn't help but clench his fingers into fists, and his eyes were burning with anger, shooting at Kman as if it were real.

It's time for this guy to atone for his sins...

Thinking of the predetermined outcome, Isis, who was immersed in his memories, relaxed his gaze a little. Looking at Kerman below, his mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Dilock at the top and suddenly said, "Master Priest, we can begin..."

Dilock obviously understood what the other party was referring to. The magic circle in his hand tapped the ground lightly, as if some secret command was issued. Suddenly, a golden rotating magic circle appeared under Kato Megumi's feet, and the golden light suddenly lit up.

Kato Megumi only felt that her vision was filled with gold, and her whole body was shrouded in a sacred light, warm and comfortable. Then, she was distracted and found herself leaving the golden cage and appearing outside the courtroom.

Although she was mentally prepared for what was to happen next, Kato Megumi was still startled and felt dizzy. The sense of spatial confusion caused by the sudden transfer made it almost impossible for her to stand.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands supported her and stopped her limp body.

Kato Megumi turned around and saw that it was the Judgment Knight from before...

"Are you OK……"

The wavy red hair looked gorgeous and bright under the light, and the red-haired Judge Knight asked with concern.

Her voice is mellow and charming, magnetic and hoarse. Her golden eyes blink gently, and her long eyelashes flutter. She looks like a female version of a "gentleman", steady and kind, giving people a sense of security and smoothing out their unpreparedness for sudden events.

"Thank you, do you know what this is about?"

Kato Megumi thanked her calmly, and then asked what had happened at the right time.

The red-haired knight blinked, with a hint of playfulness on his steady face.

"You asked the right person. I happen to know something."

Seeing that Kato Megumi looked like she was listening and seemed to have a good impression of her, the red-haired knight did not hesitate and told her what he knew.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 49 Chapter The Origin of the Demon King

"I think you should know the history of this continent... A long, long time ago, before many races were created, the gods fought endlessly for victory... At that time, many gods disappeared and died, disappearing from the world. Afterwards... Their flesh and blood were used by other gods to form the sky and the earth, forming this world."

Kato Megumi nodded. Not only had she heard of this history, she had also personally seen the "movie" of this war from the Earth Mother Goddess. It could be said that she was very impressed.

The battles of gods are like the cycle of life and death of galaxies in the universe. Each god is as big as a star, and every move is full of rules. The many gods fight each other. That scene is like the explosion of stars one after another, gorgeous and dazzling. It is hard not to remember it vividly. When the other party mentioned it like this, Kato Megumi couldn't help but recall the shocking battle scene.

But soon, Eriri's little head under the palm of her hand moved restlessly, which quickly pulled her out of her thoughts. Kato Megumi lowered her head and saw that her ears were erected high, and it was obvious that Eriri was very interested.

Kato Megumi pinched her cat's ears habitually, stroked the cat's head a few times, then looked up and apologized to the other party.

"Sorry, I was just daydreaming for a moment."

"Ah, nothing... But... I've been wanting to ask for a long time, what exactly is this pet in your arms? I've been to so many places, but I don't think I've seen an animal like this before."

"This is a cat, my companion..."

Seeing the other person's fiery gaze staring at her arms, Kato Megumi understood immediately that this was another furry lover who was eager to pet a cat and couldn't resist the urge.

So she blinked and handed over Eriri in her arms naturally.

"Do you want to... touch it?"

"May I!?"

Seeing Eriri looking at him in confusion, the other party was staring at Eriri in his palm with shining eyes.

Kato Megumi nodded without any conscience and reminded the other party at the same time.

"Sure, but she's a little shy, so be careful not to get caught by her claws..."

"Don't worry! I am a Judgment Knight after all. Ordinary swords can't hurt me easily. How could I be scratched by this cute little girl?"

As soon as the words fell, the other party quickly took the cat, ignored her struggles, and began to rub it hard.

Although Eriri resisted, she was obviously severely beaten by the opponent. Her weak resistance was quickly suppressed and could not be sustained.

[Ah hey! Stupid Hui, what are you doing? How can you hand me over to this strange woman so easily!? Do you know that you are going to lose me? ]

Kato Megumi smiled.

"Her ears and tail are fun to touch... Her reactions are cute... You can touch them more..."

【Meow! 】

Eriri, whose sensitive spots were touched, immediately started a new round of torture, and the sound of the other party's struggle kept echoing in Kato Megumi's mind.

[No! It hurts so much... Hahaha... Don't, be like this, stupid, stupid Hui, you, you must be doing this on purpose... You! Hahaha, stop it, you ugly bastard, don't touch me.]

Watching Eriri suffering, Kato Megumi felt as if her heart was lying on the clouds, extremely comfortable. Even the other person's curses in her mind seemed so cute and charming that she didn't care about them.

Seeing that the other party could only meow but was unable to utter a single word, Kato Megumi was considerate enough not to remove the mute effect imposed on her.

Well... it's good. It seems that Eriri is enjoying it. Let her enjoy it more! After all, she really enjoyed it before.

After rubbing Eriri vigorously, the man reluctantly sent Eriri back, who had sold herself to the point of despair. He continued to explain.

"At that time, most of the gods fell, and the living gods used their corpses as the foundation to create this world..."

"However, it is not so easy for gods to die. Although they are killed, as gods, their flesh and blood, or their corpses, still retain a faint consciousness. At this time, the flesh and blood have turned into rules and merged into the world. Those gods are powerless to extract it."

"Those consciousnesses are violent and unwilling to give in. Although their power has weakened, they are still strong. The gods have no choice but to spread their divine power to cover the entire world and seal these consciousnesses. At the same time, they leave a gap so that a part of them will leak out every once in a while, forming a complete life."

Having said this, the other party paused, then spoke slowly.

"This is the origin of the Demon King, and the Chaos and Order camps are also looking forward to this and fighting each other. Although those consciousnesses will devour each other, some of them fail to merge due to coincidences and thus escape. What we have to deal with are those escaped tyrannical consciousnesses."

"Because these scattered violent consciousnesses have not formed a complete spiritual intelligence, they often attach themselves to lives full of various desires. They are cunning and very hidden, so we call them tricksters."

Seeing that the other person was looking at High Priest Kerman, Kato Megumi also followed her gaze.

"So, High Priest Kerman was possessed by the evil demon?"

However, the other party did not reply, but just said one sentence.

"The formation of the Inquisition was set up by a powerful saint a thousand years ago. It requires many mages to activate it. It is very powerful. This place was not a Inquisition, but a prison for carrying out judgments."

Kato Megumi was slightly stunned. So was this the explanation for why they had to trick the other party in without revealing their true identity?

Kato Hui looked at the great priest Kerman in a gloomy manner, and her thoughts gradually diverged. Gods... just some incomplete consciousness, are they so powerful? That they should be treated with such caution.

In response, the Red Knight said something meaningful.

"Because you don't know how long it's been there."

Kato Megumi suddenly realized.

The Demon King reappears once every hundred years, and his strength is simply not accumulated, so with a little effort from the brave men of the same generation and the addition of some companions whose fate is predetermined, they can defeat him. But it is not necessarily the case with the strange demon. It is difficult to know how long it has survived, and whether it is the consciousness that escaped from this generation of Demon King, or the previous generation, or even the generation before that.

Kato Megumi blinked, and the golden color reflected in her eyes was as beautiful as colored glaze; the place where Kman was had already been covered by layer upon layer of semicircular light curtains. The huge transparent light curtain was like a lid, instantly enveloping the high priest Kman.

Faced with such a situation, the other party had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had no idea what was going on.

"Master Priest, what's wrong with you? Even if I violated the Holy Scripture, it wouldn't require such a large-scale battle... You wouldn't send so many people to protect the priest of Isis and cover up his actions."

At this time, Kman was still guessing about right and wrong. He didn't know if it was a last struggle, or if he was fearless, or if the people in the temple really made a mistake. At least Kato Megumi didn't see that the other party was worried, and his whole performance didn't seem like a demon at all. Instead, the judges who were unaware of the inside story were frightened by the sudden change and looked confused.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 50: Thinking of the Plot

I'll think about the plot and update it tomorrow, no need to wait today

I feel the plot is a bit slow, I'll think about it more.

The author actually wanted to describe the protagonist more, but for some reason he sometimes unconsciously wrote about the supporting characters, which is really confusing.

I always write in a wordy way unconsciously, and it is very difficult to correct it. I try to start from the protagonist and describe the protagonist more.

If you have any ideas, please share them.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 51 Chapter A Loud and Messy Argument

"Master Priest, what's wrong with you? Why did you go to such great lengths to open the Judgment Barrier?"

A middle-aged jury priest suddenly asked the Dilock priest at the top, but in order not to appear to be defiant and powerless, his tone was not so serious, but more of a hint of doubt.

"And Priest Isis, seeing that you are calm, I guess you already know the reason, right? Can you tell me what you and the High Priest are planning? You know, although High Priest Kerman made some mistakes, he wouldn't activate the Judgment Barrier or something like that, right?"
