Black Hero
Training and interrogation

We are currently in a field that is commonly used to perform magic training by the elves. Thanks to the knowledge of the elves I understood how to use white flames.

Basically white fire is different from fire in general, this fire can not be used to fight if you do not know its usefulness.

White fire has the ability to burn mana, more easily this fire can burn anything made of mana.

Brull and the girls were taught to use the mana of nature by the elves, it was the mana that came from the environment. Because right now we are often dealing with artificial demons, even though they are only artificial but they are very strong and to defeat those demons, they cannot continue to be silent and let me fight alone.

So they asked the elves for help.

We rested for a while after training with the elves, however

"Stop interrupting my training, fat Brull!"

"Who are you calling fat?! Besides you're the one who can't focus on why am I being blamed?"

Brull and Lilith did not rest and continued to quarrel, the reason which brull gathered was always spread out and made Lilith bounce into the pool and get drenched.

Really, I started to get annoyed to see the two of them continue to fight and spout harsh words at each other.

"Can you two shut up!"

My shout was quite loud and made the two of them speechless. I sighed and controlled my emotions again, after I started to calm down I bit the toast on which was made peanut butter by the elves.

"There's a lot of trouble going on around my head, so give me a little peace."

""Sorry""

The two of them lowered their heads and apologized, while being at rest, one of the elven girls suddenly ran towards us in a hurry.

"G-Great!"

The elf girl's breath was panting, her words stammered so I told her to calm down first.

"Are you calm?"

"sorry"

"Say what's wrong?"

"The old man earlier said something about the spirit god's plan."

Me and the others immediately went to where the old bangka was tied up. We followed the elf girl into the forest.

We stopped and there was nothing in front of us. However, the elf girl touched the ground filled with grass, in an instant a magic circle was engraved on it and the ground shifted like a door.

"The basement's pretty cool."

I'm quite amazed by this basement, I don't think this basement will be found by just anyone.

We went down the stairs, down here there was nothing but a one-way street leading to a door, we entered the door and there was an old man tied up in chains.

His face and some parts of his body were covered in bruises, it seemed like he had already been tortured by the elves.

Just thinking about it scares me. I used healing magic on the old man, although I was very reluctant to do so but he seemed to be unable to speak because he bit his tongue.

"It turns out you're good too?"

"Don't get me wrong, I did it so you could talk so tell me everything you know about Melves, Gerheim and the others."

"Pfft, hahahahahaha"

The old man just laughed, I don't know what that laugh means, but I can tell that he doesn't intend to speak honestly.

"Why are you laughing?" Brull asked confusedly.

"Nothing, it's just. Do you think I'll answer honestly?"

"Not really, I knew you'd say that anyway."

The old man's smile instantly disappeared and looked at me confusedly.

With the power of Abbadon and Lucifer in my eyes, I can hypnotize people just by looking me in the eye.

I made the old man look me in the eye, the light in the old man's eyes disappeared and he became obedient.

"Well, do you know what plan you're up to?"

Calmly the old man obeyed my orders and began to answer my questions.

So yeah.

"What are the villagers turning into demons for?"

"To build an army and become a mana supply for the resurrection of lord Gerheim."

Build armies? Are they planning to start a war?

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I was ordered to take where belonged to the sacred tree to be sent to the southern church."

Southern church? I think that's where Gerheim's gonna be resurrected.

"Why are you trying to resurrect Gerheim?"

"I don't know."

"Last question, what is Melves' relationship with Alfred?"

"I don't know."

Basic is useless. In one look, I burned the old man with my white flames.

"!?"

All of those in the dungeon were instantly shocked and took a step back in surprise by the fire that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Zen, what are you doing?"

"Suddenly it burns just like that."

Rina and the elf girl who brought us shouted at me who suddenly burned the old man.

I saw magic in his hand so I was sure in a few seconds he could escape from the chain link so I burned it. However, if I tell them maybe they won't believe it.

Oh shit, I forgot to ask you something.

"Zen you just said "Oh shit" in your heart, didn't you?"

Thanks to the training of the elves, Brull could hear one's inner voice easily. I have to be careful in speaking.

"No, you may have heard wrong." I dispute.

After the man's body became dry and charred, my white flames returned to me.

Even though I forgot to ask her something doesn't mean I won't know. My white flame not only burned mana but also took away her memories.

By focusing my mind, I began to see the old man's memories.

[I came at your request, sir]

A person standing in a black robe and wearing a rabbit mask was staring at the sky from the window.

Who her?

[Thank you for coming, I want you to go to the elf forest and take mana from their sacred tree]

[Okay sir]

As he turned to leave, two men came who in front were Melves and behind him a young man in luxurious clothes, I think he was a noble.

[Oh Melves, you came apparently.]

the masked man widened his hands and hugged Melves like a person who had not seen each other for long.

[Of course, it's all for Gerheim.]

Finished hugging, the masked man glanced at the man Melves was carrying, the man instantly took a step back when he realized he was being stared at by the masked man.

[Melves, who is he?]

[Oh, he]

Melves walked to the back of the man and patted him on the shoulder.

[He was a noble from the kingdom of Zetes]
