What kind of weird button is this?

Chapter 123 This letter contains the answer you want

"Master failed?"

Jim looked at the crowd that had gradually dispersed, as well as the happiness and residual resentment on most people's faces. He hid in the corner with a confused expression.

"No, it's impossible... Lord Siris can't fail!"

In his heart, Jim didn't want to accept the current result, because once he accepted it, it would mean that he was on the wrong team again. It was a mistake to stand on the side of the eldest prince last time, so he couldn't do it wrong again now, right?

There is no reason for him to be unlucky for the rest of his life. There is no reason for him to spend all his efforts to pursue what he wants to pursue, but in the end it always comes to nothing. This is a bit too cruel to him.

Jim looked at the almost destroyed church, and a hint of amusement suddenly flashed in his eyes. Yes, even if this disaster is over, the effect Siris wanted to achieve has been achieved, right?

Thinking of this, Jim suddenly understood something. He stood up and didn't care about the conflicts that would occur when he stood in front of Calvin. In short, he now needed to find an outlet to vent his inner emotions. Because in his heart he still refused to admit that he had failed. In any case, from the perspective of a bystander, he, Jim, had not actually lost anything. He was the winner.

At this moment, Calvin was busy directing the staff to do post-disaster reconstruction work. The other party did not expect Jim to appear behind him at this time. When Calvin turned around and saw this familiar figure, he was stunned for a moment.

"It's you?"

"Master Bishop, he..."

"You go ahead and do your work first. I have something to talk to Jim alone." Calvin looked at a few people looking at the two of them with worried eyes and trying to dissuade them. He waved his hand calmly to indicate that there was no problem on his side.

After sending everyone away, Calvin walked to the collapsed wall. Taking advantage of the quiet environment here and Jim following behind him, he said:

"Tell me, if you come here now, you must be looking for me for something, right?"

"Yes, Lord Bishop, are you okay~"

Calvin's reaction made Jim very strange, because when he wanted to come to Calvin, he would have become very angry when he saw him. Even if he had a certain psychological endurance as a bishop, after seeing Anka destroyed like this It's impossible for him to have no reaction at all.

But this is the result now. Calvin's expression was calm, as if he had expected Jim to come to him.

"Strange...why aren't you surprised at all?"

"Not surprised, but confused." Calvin shook his head first, then looked at the direction where Sirius fell just now and sighed, "You are here to tell me the answer, right? After all, we had an agreement before, right? "

"...You really annoy me when you're like this."

Jim frowned. He didn't like Calvin who was so calm. In his expected outcome, they should have a scolding or fighting at this moment.

But what Calvin just said did remind him of something. He did have an agreement with the other party. After the disaster is over, if Calvin is still alive, he will give the other party the letter Sirius gave him before and let him know everything. the truth.

In fact, it was not Sirius' intention to do this, but out of his last bit of conscience as a human being. Jim never thought that he was a good person, but when he looked at his enemies from different standpoints, he did feel that there was something he admired about Calvin, the good guy in everyone's eyes.

Because of this, he decided to tell the other party all the truth. This was better than watching the old man remain calm at such a time, as if he still believed that Sirius would not harm them.

"I still keep this letter. What is written in it is the task that Siris gave me before."

Jim found the very well-preserved letter that he had never thrown away from the lining of his clothes. The contents of this letter were actually inappropriate to show before because it would affect Lord Siris's plan.

But now it's all over. Although he doesn't know whether Lord Siris has achieved his goal or not, it's obvious that telling Calvin the truth at this time can't change anything.

"According to the agreement, I can tell you the truth, but now I have an additional condition." "You say." Calvin said lightly.

"I hope that only you know the content of this letter. The reason why I tell you is only because I personally admire your character, although it seems to me that your character is sometimes too stupid.

So you can read the content inside, but you can't tell others what you saw. The letter also needs to be destroyed on the spot in front of me after you read it. Do you understand? "

"Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?"

Jim looked at Calvin's face and suddenly laughed, "I believe you won't. Of course, it doesn't matter even if you break your promise, because no one will believe the incredible content of this letter that no longer exists."

At this moment, Calvin still didn't know what Jim's words meant, but he soon understood how heavy Jim's words were to him.

The plain and simple letter was handed into his hands like this. There was no trace of magic or any harmful mechanism. It was just an extremely ordinary letter, and what was written on it was deliberately compiled by Sirius at that time. Content.

Because the person reading the letter changed from Jim, the recipient, to Calvin, the original content of the letter, which no one had ever known, was directly displayed in front of Calvin.

[Since you all say that I, a human who yearns for light, am a heinous devil, then I will be your devil...

I don’t understand why such misunderstandings arise, and why they are believed to be true by more and more people. But I know that no one will believe my words at this moment. Everything I do will be regarded as malicious, slandered, and criticized by others. Suspicion. 】

"This is……"

Seeing Calvin's surprised look, Jim smiled mockingly, "Are you surprised? But this is the cruel truth."

"..."

Calvin didn't speak, he chose to continue watching silently.

[I don’t know what will happen if I continue to pretend like this, but it is better than the ending of being discovered by those who have ill intentions towards me and everyone in Anka, and then destroying everything here. So I have to keep pretending for the sake of my family.

In fact, this is fine, let me bear all the sins. Anyway, I have always been a villain, which is in line with my image in everyone's eyes. But this is not the way to go. I need to find a way to deal with the real demons and protect everything here before they discover the truth.

But...can I really do it? Maybe when I wrote this letter, I should have thought that it might be seen by someone, and that person might be an enemy or a friend, but that doesn't matter, just leave it to fate.

After all, the fact that the second prince of the empire is considered the leader of the demon clan is enough to make people laugh at such a fate. 】

Seeing this, Calvin finally couldn't bear the shock and regret in his heart. He knelt on the ground in front of Jim, with tears that hadn't appeared in his eyes for a long time.

"Old man, aren't you?"

"...Let me calm down, I'm sorry."

Calvin closed his eyes. He thought about the misunderstandings he had had about Sirius. He thought about many, many things, but in the end, he locked two words in his heart - "Holy Son".

What could be more suitable for the title "Holy Son" than a person who is willing to sacrifice all his reputation just to not cause everyone to panic about the return of the demons, and then chooses to bear all the pressure alone?
