Chereads / The Demon Who Devours Souls / Chapter 3 - Friends - 1

Chapter 3 - Friends - 1

{The church was situated close to the village known as Plamy in the outer regions of the kingdom.}

"Oh, all right." In a matter of seconds, the pastor's voice went from worried to normal.

The 43-year-old pastor had long black hair and a beard with some white and black hair. He stood 158 centimeters tall, had black eyes, and wore the typical pastor's attire. Jonathan was his name.

"So why are you holding the son of the king? Also, you are not going to tell me that you abducted him, are you?" The pastor asked the butler.

And then butler said, "it's not like that so stop thinking that type of things and listen, this child is born with vessel talent and that's why he abandoned Amon."

"Amon? Is this child's name Amon?" Jonathan said.

"Yes, his name is Amon, and you know how Arthur is, so it is evident that after learning that his son is merely a vessel for a god or demon, he told me to throw him in any church, so that is why I gave him the name." Joe told Jonathan this.

"And so, what do you want from me?" Jonathan said to Joe.

And then Joe said, "I want you to put him in that experiment and what do you people call that experiment?."

"It's called demon summoning ritual, and we use ritual, not experiment or anything." Jonathan replied."

"Yeah yeah, and where was I again?" Joe said.

Jonathan said, "You said you wanted to put him in demon summoning ritual."

"Yeah, and I want you to put him in that ritual of yours, and also don't let him know who his real family is." Joe said.

And then Jonathan replied, "I know I will never let him know who he is or who his real family is."

And if he ever asked you how you found him, tell him that you found him on the gates of the church." Joe said.

"All right, big brother, now you can all leave. It would be best for all of you to leave right away without telling anyone about this situation since the sun is going to rise." Jonathan said that while wearing a smug look on his face. Why did he choose that particular expression? It is not like he lost control over his facial expression or anything; Joe could tell why he did that—it was clear to him that he wanted something in return for helping him.

And then Joe replied to Jonathan, "And you see the box in the carriage."

"Yes, big brother, and what's in that big box?" Jonathan said.

"In that big box? You say, So even though you already guessed it, you still want me to tell you that? Alright, let me tell you that in that box there is something that you loved the most, and that is gold, isn't it?"

"Oh, thank you, brother, for this gold." Jonathan said.

And then Joe said, "And remember that what we talked today and also don't let anyone know about this, alright?"

"Yes, I understand, brother Joe." Jonathan said.

"Alright, I will take my leave, and before taking my leave, are you sure you can pick up this big box of gold by yourself?" Joe asked.

Jonathan replied, "Did you forget that I am a body cultivator."

Joe said, "You don't look like a body cultivator anymore, just look at yourself in the mirror, you look like a 60- or 70-year-old man, nothing more than that."

"But i still have the strength of my young days, and do you have time to make fun of me now? Just look at the sky, the sun will come in half an hour, so just go already." Jonathan said.

"Yeah, I will take my leave and hold Amon, he is church property now."

----------------------- 10 years later -----------------------

The orphanage of the church was situated at its rear. it was the time period of the summer season and usually the summer season only lasts for month.

Why is it only a month long? This is because the alpine country is situated in the north, and its name derives from the abundance of snow that falls there.

And the orphanage was like a big mansion with a big hall and 20 room, etc.

In the morning, when sun was about to rise

The orphanage's doors were opened by a woman. She looked like a very young woman, maybe twenty years old, with black hair and a white skin tone. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and she was dressed in nun suits. Her name was Rose, she was 150 cm tall, had a small chest, and black eyes.

Saying in a loud voice, "Good morning, children, wake up. It is time to wake up," Rose decided to stop when she noticed that no one had left their room. "Those who will not come downstairs in one minute have to forget about their breakfast," she said.

As they opened the gates to their rooms, the kids greeted their teacher with a "Bad morning."

Rose was standing in the hallway, which led to the children's room, which was situated above the hallway on the second floor.

"Again, why do not these boys from the 16th room wake up on time?" she exclaimed after noticing that room 16 had not yet been opened. Now that the allotted minute has passed, it would be best to let them go to sleep. Breakfast is ready, so everyone come to the dining hall. Class will begin between the breakfast and lunch periods.

The kids nodded after that and made their way downstairs.

The 16th room's gate opened after two hours, and the boy with the black hair opened the door before asking, "What is the time now?" and a brown-haired boy wearing glasses stood behind the gate, saying, "Not again." Why do we always arrive late for breakfast and wake up in the middle of lunchtime?"

"You know why we are always running late for breakfast? Because some of us stay up late working out in our rooms, and others stay up late reading books." A white-haired boy said.
