Elden Clergyman

Although the demigod is immortal, in a sense, he is indeed dead.

And it's the kind of death that can't die again.

Queen Full Moon and Latan were not surprised about Lakkad's situation because they had learned a lot of information through various means before coming.

As for Lani?

Guess who these two people got the information from?

But even though I understood the situation, after actually meeting him, I couldn't suppress my anger to some extent.

"What's wrong with this place of yours? It's so messy and awful. After being swallowed by a snake, do you like this kind of environment?"

"...Tanis likes this style."

"What about your sword? I just saw it. You made it that way on purpose, didn't you?"

"...Tanis thinks it looks better that way."

"Well, that big face of yours... Never mind. You don't have to answer. I already know."

The Full Moon Queen sighed.

She has some idea about her family members' love-brain nature.

In fact, she might be the one with the least qualification to criticize others, so after a brief exchange, she simply decided to skip this topic.

Then she turned to look at Lord, who was examining the brain in front of her, and hesitated for a moment.

"How is he...?"

"not too good."

Lord withdrew his hand and shook his head.

"He didn't become like this simply because his soul was contaminated or merged, but was shaped bit by bit through some method..."

"To put it simply, it's like a righteous magical girl who was captured by an evil villain and taken to a base. After undergoing various adjustments, education, and transformations, both her body and mind have undergone mutations, and she trembles all over at the slightest touch..."

"This isn't simply contamination, but a fundamental change and shaping. Furthermore, this definitely didn't start when he was devoured."

"Instead, it was targeted long before, and without even realizing it, it was constantly being probed, and finally eroded and damaged bit by bit..."

Just like in Lakkad’s previous memories, he had known the snake long before he was swallowed.

And accepted the power and knowledge shared by him, thus researching blasphemous magic.

He thought that he had controlled the power of the great snake and that he had taken the initiative to embark on the path of blasphemous rebellion.

But perhaps, from the very beginning, he was under the calculations of someone, or some snake, and was being eroded bit by bit.

After all, the snake is a symbol of greed, so greedy that it wants to devour the entire world.

Then you will naturally be able to see the desires in other people's hearts.

With a little guidance, everything will fall into place.

Faced with Lakkad who had been transformed into this, even Lord could only eliminate the hunger in his soul that was given by the snake.

As for the rest, it depends on him.

After listening to Lord's words, the Full Moon Queen was silent for a while, then sighed, thanked Lord, raised her staff, used magic to make a cage for Narakad's brain, and locked him up temporarily.

As for Lacard himself, he had no opinion on this matter.

Because of the appearance of his family and the beating just now, he regained some of his former consciousness as the Chief Justice, and was aware of his situation. He cooperated and locked himself up.

After being locked up, he turned his head to his brother and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something strange.

"Latan, that's on your shoulder..."

"It's me, Mr. Larcade."

The red-haired horse girl shook her ears and said calmly.

"You once fed me carrots."

Lakkad was stunned for a moment, then realized something and turned to look at his mother and sister.

The latter two were silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

After confirming it, Lacard was shocked.

I even regained some of my former consciousness through this.

Then, Lakkad started chatting with Latarn.

As for why not look for Lani?

Although theoretically, Lani should be a more suitable person to communicate with than Latan, but looking at her expression...

Although he didn't know what was going on, Lakkad still felt it was safer to talk to his silly brother.

As for why Lani looked unhappy?

In fact, after Lakkad's head was smashed and she confirmed that there were no other problems, Lani breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after she came to her senses, she suddenly realized a problem.

Twisting the doll's head and looking around, she suddenly realized that no matter who she was communicating with, she seemed to have to look up.

Especially Lakkad, even if only the head was left, it was still more than one level taller than her puppet body.

Especially after confirming that her son was fine (he was fine as long as he was not dead), the Full Moon Queen moved closer to her daughter and adjusted her tall hat intentionally or unintentionally.

Then think about the missing paintings in the Volcano Mansion, and the Iron Maiden who was targeting him...

"You guys chat, I'm going out for a walk."

Lani pressed down her big hat and left with a gloomy face.

Seeing Lani go out, Rod thought for a moment, thinking that the family was reminiscing about the past, and it would not be appropriate for him to be a stranger there, so he found an excuse and followed them out.

After he left, Lakkad finally recovered from the shock of his family's appearance and realized something.

"Wait, who was that just now..."

The Full Moon Queen looked at the direction the two people left, and after confirming that they had left, she lowered her voice and waved her staff to create a soundproof barrier.

"He gave Lani a moon sword."

"Oh, the Moon Greatsword..."

巨大的脑袋缓缓点头，接着反应过来了不对2：￡9≡☆4＄《0≮。4$≌3〕↑5＝6◎—4肿↑轉∑¤：。

Wait a minute? What is it? Who gave it to whom?

After coming to his senses, Lakkad was shocked.

And it wasn't just him. Latan on the side also just learned the news and was stunned.

Seeing the reactions of her two sons, Queen Full Moon nodded with satisfaction.

"And, Lani accepted it."

"You should understand what this means, right?"

Looking at the clear threat in the Full Moon Queen's eyes, Lakkad, who only had his head left, nodded repeatedly.

As for Latan on the other side, although he didn't react for a moment, the pony on his shoulder nodded.

"I'll keep an eye on General Latarn."

"I can rest assured that."

......

the other side.

Lani, who had no idea what the people in the boss's room were talking about, stopped and looked back at the person following her.

"...Are you okay?"

In response to Lani's question, Lord blinked and spoke honestly.

"I want to see if you have any side lines."

"No."

Lani answered simply.

After spending so much time together, she probably began to understand some of the strange words Lord used.

For example, this branch line, in her understanding, means asking her if she has anything to do.

She is just a little annoyed now, so naturally there is nothing to do.

But after a moment, seeing Lord turning around and about to leave after she answered, Lani was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke and called him.

"and many more."

Lord turned around and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

"...Walk with me for a while."

Although he was a little confused about Lani's inconsistent attitude, there was nothing else to do at the moment. After thinking for a moment, Lord nodded.

Then, the two of them started walking around the Volcano Residence.

There was no dialogue or communication, just simply walking around and taking in the surrounding scenery.

for a long time.

"......Thanks."

Lani stopped, turned to look at Lord, and thanked him very seriously.

[Obtain the item 'Inverted Statue of Kalia']

"There is a hidden seal in the Divine Tower at Lake Lienia. Placing this inverted statue on the desk will break it."

"I left some things in there. If you need them, just take them."

After a pause, perhaps feeling that this alone was not enough, Lani took out another thing.

Obtain 'Lani's Badge'

[Amulet with a Darkmoon Emblem on the shield]

[Can significantly reduce the concentration value consumed by using combat skills (35%)]

【It is said that among the Knights of Kalia in the past】

[Only those who directly serve the princess can be granted the emblem of Kalia]

[This is the Kalia badge specially made for the Moon Princess]

【This is the only one of its kind】

Oh my god, this is good stuff.

After receiving the badge, Lord's eyes changed when he looked at Lani.

You said you don't have any side quests? He almost missed this one!

I will never believe her again next time. Even if she says she doesn’t have it, I still have to pester her a little more to see if I can get some gold coins.

On the other side, Lani didn't know what Lord was thinking. After giving the badge, for some reason, she breathed a sigh of relief and her expression became a little more relaxed.

"How's the growth of your furnace fragment?"

"It feels almost done."

As he spoke, Lord took out the furnace fragment and looked at it. After checking the situation, he put it back into the inventory.

"If I collect two or three more fragments, I should be able to forge a demigod-level body."

"Or, if you're in a hurry, I can give you a simple body rub first."

"When the materials are gathered, I will stab you to death, extract your soul, and put it into a new body without any trouble."

No, this is not a question of whether it is troublesome or not, right?

Looking at Lord's serious expression, Lani's eyes twitched, and after a moment's thought, she chose to change the subject.

Otherwise, she was worried that this fool would come up with some outrageous remarks and really accept the proposal as she said.

Then, after a while of communication, Lord remembered something and spoke with some curiosity.
