The two people on the sofa stared at Durkan and Lun together, and there was a long silence between them.

at last.

Lun clenched the file bag on his hand, and a bitter smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Delois, maybe it's ironic to say that to you."

"When I was young, I swore to the goddess that I would dedicate my whole life to the Holy Kingdom and the Holy Church, to sweep away evil spirits and uphold justice."

"But now, I, Lun, have to go to the step of 'becoming the great rebel of the Holy Kingdom'?"

Lun looked at Durkan and said self-deprecatingly.

"..."

Durkan didn't answer.

When a saint needs to confess to the devil, the world has become quite ironic.

At this moment, Durkan finally confirmed that Lun had already detected the clues of the changes in the Holy Capital in a very early timeline.

It's just that Len can't confide in anyone.

In fact, ever since Lun first asked Delois to find a way to find an opportunity to make peace, there was already such a sense of disobedience——

Lun, who is a pro-battle faction, has a great advantage and instead seeks peace talks.

Lunn wasn't just about reducing the toll of war.

More importantly, the worried Lun wanted to end his worries from the Devil Realm early, and created the prerequisites to start a war against the Holy Capital at any time!

"Len, are you actually ready to attack the holy capital?"

Observing Lun's expression, Durkan finally no longer cared about the restriction of "no violation of Lun's bottom line" in mission objective 2, and asked.

Durkan finally figured it out, mission objective 2 was actually just "to fulfill Lenn's wishes" from beginning to end.

The low death rate of the Kelan Land represents Lun's wish as a lord - to protect the people of the land.

In addition to this, Lun's other wish is always to be able to save the common people.

Ke Kelan has a limit, even if Lun's heart is the world, as a border lord, he can't save so many people.

Under the conditions of this contradictory task, he wants to protect the residents of the Klan Territory and save the refugees as much as possible. The only way to achieve both is to attack the holy capital and solve the chaos in the holy country from the root.

It was just that Lun was hesitant in his heart. It was always difficult for him to become a rebel who started a war without conclusive evidence.

On the other hand, from the bottom of his heart, Lun was unwilling to believe that the current Holy Kingdom had corroded and withered away without his knowing it.

"...During this time, more than one spies from other territories came to me and conveyed their lord's intention to no longer tolerate the tyranny of the Holy Capital and the stupidity of the Holy Emperor. They hoped that I could take the lead, End it all."

Having said that, Lun finally opened the document in his hand,

"I've also been secretly trying to investigate the situation in the south. Since the war between the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm has come to an end, the Holy Capital always gives me a strange feeling."

Lun's expression was exceptionally calm when he flipped through it, as if nothing in it surprised him.

"I even suspected that behind this war, our rear, some indescribable existences may have been secretly eroded. However, I have never been able to get conclusive evidence to prove anything. All the evidence seems to have been perfectly erased. They are like imaginary enemies, and it is even difficult to prove their existence."

Finally, Lenn finished reading everything, took a deep breath, and sighed.

Under his seemingly calm appearance, his actual anger has reached its peak.

Even if the people in the room didn't need to say anything, they knew that Lun's mind had been made up.

He will call on the princes and launch a rebellion.

Put an end to all this absurd atrocities of the Holy Nation.

"Delois, let me ask you, is it really right to start this war?"

Lun looked at Durkan with a particularly heavy tone.

As someone who hated the war from the Demon Realm to the Holy Kingdom, Lun finally doubted whether what he did at this moment was a wrong thing.

For some reason, he felt that only Delois, who was his close friend, could answer this question.

Even if Delois is a guy with an extremely strange identity, character, and position.

"Indeed, even if the original intention of this war is to uphold justice, as long as there is war, there will be misfortune, and innocent people will definitely die because of it. Sometimes even if justice is practiced, crime will inevitably be borne."

Durkan spoke slowly.

He paused, met Lun's gaze, his eyes were extremely firm,

"But it's not your fault."

"The guilt that may be tormenting your conscience in the future cannot be defined by good intentions and malice."

"It's just the damage you will inevitably suffer when you embark on this thorny road."

a long time.

Lun handed the document bag to Croix.

"Croix, help me write official documents, I want to send letters to like-minded lords."

At this moment, Lun's entire expression changed. He was no longer the gentle and gentle nobleman who was full of worries, but a determined martial artist who seemed to have returned to his youth and was extremely strong-willed.

"I, Lun, will make a clean break with that corrupt Holy Emperor from today!"

After Lenn made such an oath.

Quest finally ushered in a long-lost update:

[Task objective 2 is on the right track, with huge advantages, and mission objective 3 has been unlocked: assist Lun to attack the holy capital directly, rule the holy country, and truly end the chaos caused by this long war. 】

Finally, in this shadow world, everything is clear.

Durkan showed a relieved smile, looked at Lun and asked:

"So Lun, do you still need my help this time?"

"Will you help me?"

Lun was a little dazed, he never thought that Delois would continue to help him.

"of course."

"......it is good."

Having known each other for more than ten years, even now, Lun still doesn't fully understand Delois' motives.

From Lun's point of view, it seemed that what could make Delois happy was to torment the heinous demons.

Delois is also very resistant to hurting innocent humans, even a bottom line that he would rather die than cross.

All these appearances make Delois look like a kind person.

But Lun was very sure that the motives of all Delois' actions were not from good intentions.

It's like being locked.

He was chained on the boundary between good and evil, unable to practice evil according to the devil's instinct, and unable to truly understand goodwill.

Just numbly pursuing something.

Initiating this rebellion will inevitably have innocent victims, which obviously violates the consistent and clear principles of Delois.

But at this moment, he chose benevolence and righteousness with great certainty.

This is not the same as the previous Delois.

unless.

Delois has already taken such a step from a certain shackle.

A true, no longer dogmatic, implementation of the principles of doing good.

"What's the price?"

Lun smiled happily and held out his hand to Durkan, as if handing out a check without a number.

For some reason, Len was moved and happy for his friend.

Such Delois was finally truly worthy of his trust.

Durkan firmly held Len's hand.

"Someone has already paid for it for you."

Saying so, Durkan looked away.

Although the corner of his mouth showed a smile, his eyebrows were lowered.

Think carefully.

The majestic great demon Delois only trades at a loss.

In order to pay the tuition fees for those three years, I have done so many good things in the past 20 years.

However, maybe doing good deeds will really pay off.

"..."

Talomarty sat on the sofa and watched all this.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she never made a sound.

Watching my brother's every move, hearing my brother's sincere words.

She was finally convinced that her brother had completely changed.

I'm afraid he himself didn't realize that he could no longer be called a devil.

She seemed to finally understand what Delois had been pursuing all this time, and what had changed in Eve.

Human kindness is like a seed that can be planted in the devil, but it is difficult to grow normally.

But as long as there are demons who are willing to go against common sense and choose to believe, choose to experience, willing to give up and willing to blend in, things that go against common sense such as "the devil understands goodwill" will eventually take root.

……

more than three months later.

A city in the southern part of the Holy Kingdom.

There are people coming and going on the street, and it seems that every day is a festival recently.
