Chapter 34 Conspiracy emerges


    "Get ready heroes, we''re going into the dungeon right away!"


    Saying this, the pope stayed silent waiting for their reactions


    Dungeon!


    Hearing the Pope''s words, the heroes could believe it.


    Although they had been practising for a few days now, but neither of them believed they were ready to take on a dungeon


    And even if they were, as people from Earth where living safely and healthily was a norm, nobody wanted to participate in something with could make them die


    Unfortunately, maybe it was because of the inquisitor standing close to them, but no matter how much they thought otherwise


    Fear didn''t allow them to refute the Pope''s words.


    Seeing this happen, the pope knew his n had worked.


    .


    Realising this, the pope couldn''t help but think of what made him carry out a sudden decision such as this one


    Thinking back to it now, the pope remembered that this all started with the head knight


    A few minutes ago, the head knight said one of the heroes came to him requesting for them to enter a dungeon


    At first, the pope thought that this was a joke, after all most of the heroes were currently so weak, they couldn''t even beat the weakest of Magical beasts


    However, after taking a look at the hero who proposed such an absurd idea, the pope knew it wasn''t a joke.


    Greed, desire, jealousy, pride, and many more of such vices were what the pope discovered within the eyes of the hero who nned it


    *Tomoki was it?*


    Just after taking a quick look into Tomoki''s eyes, the pope realised that things were not that simple


    Most likely he had nned something in store for his fellow heroes to happen during the dungeon raid


    And judging from the looks in his eyes, whatever Tomoki nned was definitely not a good thing


    *But isn''t this the opportunity I''ve been looking for?*


    *Maybe with this,my next n for the heroes can begin taking ce*


    *However, this could only be possible if something went wrong in the dungeon*


    "It seems I have to make some additional preparations"


    Saying this in his mind, the pope took a quick nce at Tomoki before taking a look at the rest of the heroes


    Now although he told them about the sudden dungeon trip and they agreed, however, he still needed to appease then


    After all, even though he had something else in mind, however considering the image he had to uphold, the pope had to be kinder


    Thinking of this, the pope quickly put on a false look of worry on his face


    "Heroes, I hope you do understand this but this wasn''t mine nor the empire''s hasty decision"


    "In fact, if it wasn''t for the current situation I wouldn''t want to rush putting in our heroes and only hope in danger"


    Trying his best to sound sad and worried, the pope began praising himself for his acting skills in his mind


    Unfortunately, none of the heroes fund any idea what was going on


    Fortunately, the pope soon continued speaking, making them think not too much about his quick pause just now.


    "So heroes, I really hope you understand where we''reing from"


    "Just a few minutes ago, we got the news that several outposts on the border had been abused by demons leaving everyone there dead"


    "And to make things worse, upon the investigation team''s arrival, the corpses werepletely decimated"


    "With some burnt to a crisp and others in pieces asrge parts of them had already been eaten by the enemy"


    "Just thinking of what happened fills me with an unprecedented rage!"


    Hearing this, the whole crowd was shocked!


    Although they knew that the wire would be fierce and they as heroes had no choice but to participate in it


    However, after hearing about the corpse''s muttion and unteral ughtering,


    Most of the heroes especially be body present couldn''t help but be filled with righteous indignation


    And sensing this, Tomoki who had always been waiting for an opportunity to strike in the crowd, finally realised this was his chance


    So clearing his throat, he looked toward the pope and spoke


    "Lord Pope, It''s okay, I understand where you''reing from, and truly even I as a hero feel angry hearing you say this"


    "And even though most im of us didn''t ask to be summoned here to this strange world, but given that it is our duty"


    "Then we as heroes have no choice but to seed!"


    "And to do that, we''ve epted your proposal"


    "We agree to enter the dungeon right away, so we can get stronger and help better"


    Speaking this way, Tomoki had unknowingly pushed himself into the position of head of the heroes making a decision for everyone present


    Luckily, perhaps it was because of the strength he disyed during training, or because they all felt the same, but no one said otherwise.


    Seeing this, both the pope and Tomoki had smiles in their eyes, obviously, their n was working


    "Thank you so much heroes, but don''t worry some knights and priests would follow you"


    "As long as anyone is in danger of getting harmed, they would take immediate action to ensure your safety"


    "So don''t worry and use this time in peace as the great war between us and demons is already on its way"


    Speaking of the war, the Pope''s face turned serious showing them that its scale was definitely a huge one.


    Knowing this, the heroes one by one quickly realised the urgency to level u and couldn''t help but request to set off immediately


    Seeing this, the pope couldn''t help butugh in his mind


    *Haha, this is too easy, I wonder if the heroes of the past generations were also so gullible?*


    *Even if they weren''t, at least this set of heroes are definitely not going to escape my palm*


    *However Tomoki, it seems like I have to keep an extra eye on him, after all he might turn into an unexpected variable*


    Unknowingly as the pope thought of this, Tomoki who was still ecstatic due to the pope epting his n suddenly felt a chin down his spine.
