【23:40】【Deepest part of the Sun Fortress】

"Welcome. Ladies of the Special Mission Support Section, as well as guests of the Guerrilla Association. Welcome to the Land of Our Origin! ”

Joachim's frenzied voice echoed.

The deepest part of the Sun Fortress is an artificial lake, where the crystal clear blue water holds up artificial stone slabs with beautiful patterns. On a wide platform, a religious staircase leads to an altar-like building. There was a huge ball on it, and I don't know what it was for.

The Speaker: Joasim? Jonta said as she walked down unhurriedly from the very top of the altar. He was wearing a very religious patterned robe, with a gentle expression on his face, but his eyes were full of unnegotiable madness.

Six members of the support section and the guerrillas immediately surrounded him, and Joachim did not resist, so he obediently stood in the middle of them.

- Joasim? Jona, I'll get straight to the point. Immediately let go of the people who were controlled by true knowledge. We know you're the manipulator. ”

Lloyd? Bannings looked at his breezy expression and felt a pang of displeasure in his heart, and his voice became a little more stern because of it.

"Oh? Yes. ”

"Huh?"

Joachim's casual answer caught Lloyd off guard for a moment, and he couldn't help but utter a surprised syllable.

"I said that from the beginning, right? Return Kia-sama to us, and I'll stop it at once. ”

With a smirk of smugness, Joachim raised an eyebrow and looked at Lloyd's face.

"What a joke!"

Lloyd immediately denied it.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Ellie snapped up.

"Do you want to find a fight?"

Randy directly removed the berserker from his shoulder, ready to swing.

"What a heinous offender!"

Even Tio showed a rare fierce expression, staring at Joachim with angry eyes.

Even Wiseman isn't so mad. Joshua thought silently, and clenched the twin knives in his hands.

Seeing that everyone had a bitter and hateful expression, Joachim actually smiled in distress and said, "Oops, oops...... In this way, there is no way to communicate, and Lord Kiya is already the Holy Son of our Order, so isn't it reasonable to give it back to me? ”

Hearing his words, the atmosphere of resentment in everyone became even stronger, and even a good-natured person like Lloyd was full of resentment, and his eyes were eager to erupt into flames: "...... Dare to say it! Think about what you did six years ago! How could we possibly hand over Kia to someone like you! ”

“……”

Hearing his questioning, Joachim paused for a moment, and then he laughed at once, with a little contempt, and shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said mockingly: "I see, you don't know it yet." Do you think that Kia-sama is a person of this era? ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but Joachim didn't care about this, and continued to explain slowly:

"Hehe, okay. Originally, it was strictly forbidden to disclose these to people who were not in the field of wisdom, but this time I will make an exception. Until a month ago, Kia-sama was sleeping here. Sleep lightly in the sacred cradle of this altar, yes. Immerse yourself in a long door sleep that lasts for 500 years! ”

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lloyd interrupted him angrily, he didn't expect him to say such an inexplicable quibble! This kind of person!

"Is it necessary to be so surprised? What can't be done now, it was very easy in ancient times. Five hundred years ago, this time there was a community of alchemists. The altars here were built based on their technology. ”

"The medieval alchemist who built the Tower of Vision?"

For Joachim's casual justification, unexpectedly, it was Joshua, a foreigner, who first reacted to the alchemist of the Tower of Astrology.

"Little Kia ......"

Lloyd was a little disappointed.

"I thought I could get back to my ......"

Ellie was also lost.

Both of them once thought that they would know Kia's identity as long as they came to Joachim and confronted him face to face, but they didn't expect him to say such a strange identity. Whether it's true or not, the clue of the last relation, "Joachim", is no longer useful.

Joachim, however, was indifferent to the loss of the two and smiled instead: "What's so sad about that? Kia-sama, you're about to become a god! ”

"What!"

"Literally, huh? Haven't you noticed yet? Edest, the goddess of the sky? There is no such thing! Everything is a lie of the Seven Jewels Church! As for demons and stuff, we're only going to use them because they're the most appropriate way to deny the concept of a goddess. ”

“！ What's the joke! Then why are you doing such an excessive thing! Why for us! ”

Suddenly, Theo shouted hoarsely. Even though she always acted like she didn't care, she was still just a child at heart. Joachim said that he did not believe in demons, but that they had done evil experiments that no demons would do.

The experiments that made Theo completely say goodbye to happiness. If, not because of faith in demons, wouldn't it be too cruel?

"Theo? Prato? I remember you. Your mental perception is excellent, I really didn't expect to meet you. These things are just to improve the degree of completion of true knowledge. By the way, most of the subjects were children, also because of the mental purity of the data samples. ”

At first, he had a somewhat elegant temperament, but soon, Joachim's expression changed to that of a fanatical researcher. That fanatical, fanatical expression of blindly pursuing results.

"Enough!"

"Shut up!"

The crowd interrupted him together.

The atmosphere froze for a moment. No one spoke. Joshua took the initiative to step forward, endured the murderous intent in his heart, and asked, "Joachim, let me ask a question." You're in charge of the programs, right? So, do you know the stronghold called "Paradise"? ”

"Hmm...... There is an impression. It has deviated from the Order's approach and has become a place to gather people from the top. I'm grateful for this place, though. Because of that damn battle six years ago, we lost almost all of our strongholds, and after that, I realized that there was an excellent backing for this! There's also a minion named Lubacher! Speaker Harman is a regular visitor to Paradise. This is also the reason with the garrison. I told them that true knowledge is an epoch-making nutrient, and the commander actually believed it! ”

Joachim laughed wildly as he spoke, probably thinking of the Commander and Speaker Harman. His crazy expression made everyone clench their teeth, eager to kill him on the spot.

"That foolish commander, there must be a limit to being stupid!"

Randy complained hatefully about the commander.

However, I suddenly felt a sense of happiness in my heart. At least, after this incident, the resignation of this confused commander is appropriate.

"Huh. Okay, let's get back to the topic. Return Kia-sama to me. This way, everything will be back on track. ”

Joachim took a deep breath and pulled back the topic that had been moving farther and farther away.

“……”

In the face of his positive demand, everyone fell silent. After a long time, Lloyd took a deep breath, strode forward, took out his police ID card, and showed it to him.

"D∴G Order, Joachim? Jonta. According to the laws of the autonomous prefecture, you are arrested on suspicion of bodily injury, rioting, illegal occupation, use of illegal drugs, abuse, etc.! ”

"Although the form is simple, the search warrant and the arrest warrant are there."

Ellie also took out the search warrant and arrest warrant that Dudley Investigator had given them temporarily, and the two pages were together, so that there would be no more objections.

"Huh...... Sure enough. Let me ask you a simple question - I, am I stupid? ”

Unexpectedly, Joachim, a civilian who was surrounded by so many people, was still not confused at all, he smiled and asked a question that no one could scratch his head.

Lloyd didn't understand what he wanted to ask, and subconsciously responded according to his words: "No, I don't think you're stupid. ”

"That's right! So, why do you think I'm talking nonsense to you! ”

Joachim's smile turned to a maniacal laugh, smelling of extremely dangerous blood.

Suddenly, Joachim's pupils were colored by a scarlet chaotic red that enveloped his pupils, accompanied by a strange huge magic eye that seemed to shed blood and tears above his head.

At the same time, the six of them only felt their bodies sinking, as if an invisible force was forcibly dragging them to the ground, making them unable to move.

Anyone who knew a little about this strange skill immediately called out its name: "MONOCULUS! Why would you!! ”

"Hehe, everyone. Now, you know, why am I talking nonsense with you? ”

Joachim's expression was full of mockery, and with a snap of his fingers, dozens of translucent golden chains suddenly flew out of the artificial lake, binding everyone tightly.

The pros and cons are reversed in an instant.
