Chapter 384 – Motivation

“These heavenly things to be angry about!!”

Young children lined up from the factory.
Some of them were smoothed without a single blemish, but most of the children had skin rashes and skin diseases caused by the dripping soup, making it difficult to see with their eyes open.

Besides, what kind of scum would prefer, even the fanatics, famous for their cruelty, exploded in anger when children with body defects came out.

Even though they were cruel, they did not touch children, and if they attacked, they were brainwashed or forced to use their hands only on targets such as suicide charges.

In Narnia, the Holy Land, the people of the Holy Land burst into anger because they teach that children are objects to be protected, but the people in the slums who were watching were just rolling their eyes.
Rapnir felt the difference in their gaze, but didn’t say anything.

“Clean children were classified as commodities.”

Raph Nir crossed his arms and nodded his head.
The condition of the children was sometimes damaged for fun, but usually to suit the commission of the customer.

There were a lot of people who didn’t know what the strange patterns were engraved on, but they had so many perverted tendencies that they didn’t want to do that.

“Ha. They say it’d be better if they didn’t have an eyeball, or they’d prefer a castrated boy…”

In other words, they are abnormal sexual desires.
Abnormal sexual desire is a heresy.
Raphnir, who had come to that conclusion and was angry, suddenly put his hands together and his eyes flashed.

“Haaa… Mad Flame predicted all of this and came here to punish heresy…!”
“Hmm…”

It doesn’t seem like that, but unlike other high-ranking priests, it was certainly respectable to see Gwang-Yeol, who launched himself and personally searched for trash.

Even if it wasn’t so, most of the people in the Holy Land worshiped him, who was given the name directly by God for the first time in history, and it was the same with most of the priests belonging to the cult, and this made the atmosphere even more praised.

Some of the people who had looked at Dre with trembling eyes also felt that they did well this time.

That’s why fanatics used to do dirty and hard work that other groups couldn’t do.
A mission to deal with normal heresy. In other words, how many times have they been entrusted with the rewarding mission of saving a child, who had only been fighting a lot?

‘By the way, how are you going to respond to Enthiaer? He was ordered to move and acted once, but he’d be offended enough in the royal family.’

Realistic Rapnir’s adjutant thought so, but he soon assumed that Mad Flame had an idea.

That moment.

Kwakjik!

“Kikhin!”

A dog’s scream was heard along with a sound like a watermelon bursting.
She turned her head and saw Mullin, who was standing at the factory entrance, just raising her mace on her shoulder.
At her feet, a puppy wriggled over her body.

“Oh oh…!”
“Sister Kwang took care of the dangerous species!”

That little puppy was a cunning beast that usually pretended to be cute, but in case of danger, it became gigantic and bitten.

Okay. It’s a witch.

A harsh fiendish area or land of darkness. Or that things that could only be found in the northern regions were in this sacred land where heroes fought against the true demon lord.

That was enough to inflame the anger of the people of the Holy Land even more.
At that moment, the puppies who were confined to the barbed wire began to grow gigantic as if they felt the danger.

“Tsk. Bastards.”

Kwakjijik!

And the whole iron rod was crushed and turned into porridge.
Swinging her mace with speed unseen by her eyes, Mullin cast her eyes at her follower, who called herself Mad Nun.

But he didn’t even look at Mullin’s glare. He is delighted.
In the first place, people attached the meaning of a crazy nun, but the people of the Holy Land call it a nun given by light.

The reason why Mullin couldn’t rampage like usual was that she wasn’t an insult, but her presence as a woman was great.

“Mulein~”
“Urg..”

Mullin looks disgusted, but can’t bear to let go of Raffnir, who is hugging her neck.

“As expected! As expected, you are a faithful child! Mullin!”
“What is it?”
“I was sad when I left the Holy Land, but I had come to Sersu in advance expecting that this would happen, that the true hero and mad flame would descend! It must have been a revelation from the gods!”

‘He came to Fryunar Academy, not Serrus, and I can’t even peep out where that true hero went.’

Seeing Raffnir in the flower garden in her heart, Mullin thinks that it’s okay if she comes to her senses. She will distort that she is ashamed of anything she mumbles here.
She just gave up and went into her arena and thought of Dre.

‘That asshole. I won’t do anything stupid again.’

Even though he usually looks bewildered, he has poison inside.
She was also worried that she would not be able to hide her true nature and become more cruel than necessary.

‘I don’t know if the operation will work.’

Dre’s operation.
The strategy that was only tipped off to Mullin and Homun is that the person who is presumed to be the leader of this organization has changed his appearance as a priest.
It’s not that they’ve been replaced, but it seems like they can create skin and even clothes.

Mullin tried to make it right, but Dre stopped him.
It was based on the judgment that it would be difficult to secure useful evidence even if they were stripped away now.
The goal of the operation is to intentionally let him go and use a magic tool to record contact with the real money as evidence.

Fortunately, there was information that the boss seemed to take it seriously because he usually took care of the ledger.
Entering the arena and torturing members of the organization to steal information or pretending to find a cigar is all part of trying to alert the cigar to meet the real money.

‘I’m not the kind of guy whose head doesn’t turn when he sees things like that…’

He knows everything, even if he doesn’t seem to know.
That’s why he knows that he’s calm and then suddenly rushes out, so he does it on purpose. He’s more of a fucking baby.

‘But maybe that’ll be better this time.’

Mullin…Had a hunch that this was not going to be easy.
Real money is not the problem.

Of course, he has numerous connections and assets and is a big player who cannot be captured without evidence, but he is a sword of madness that is absolutely supported by the Holy Kingdom, and he has the ability to withstand Dre, the instructor at Prunar Academy, robbing him.
It’s because Dre isn’t usually authoritarian, so he’s a very high-ranking guy.
Silver Money will have no choice but to leave, at least in Sers.

However, kicking him out of this place and completely killing him are two different things.
There is a justification, but if there is no physical evidence… No, even if there is, maybe we can bring him down, who will be protected by ‘Nara’.

And I thought that those who tried to protect Silmoney Bur would probably not be the only influential people such as nobles and families.

‘The problem is, if there is a third force here.’

Mana Stone.
A magical item that uses a special material to imprint a certain magic semi-permanently.

The thing embedded in Millia is something that even an average wizard can’t imitate, such as being able to read memories and even having an oath effect that will kill her if she betrays her.

Being able to mass-produce something like that to the extent that dozens or hundreds of people would be implanted in it… It was impossible unless there were at least a group of at least 10 people who were proficient in magic.
It was never pleasant to have a group whose identity was still unknown.

It was at that time that I thought about the Mana Stone.

“Here comes the mad flame!”
“Ah! Mad flames!”

Raffnir separated himself from Mullin and ran towards him with his arms raised.
Mullin, who was looking at her with her complex subtle eyes, noticed the man standing next to her and raised her eyebrows.

Raffnir, who was running frantically, slightly hardened his face.
What made it so was that the man over there was a man who could make the big money earner ‘something like that’.

Although he looked very emaciated from the neat appearance he had seen before, that blond haired handsome man who still boasted of his dignity was clearly the head of the Gryze family, Leo R Gryze.

‘It must be between that bastard and enemies?’

Mullin, who tilted her head at her puzzlement, decided to just listen.
And she had to find out one more.

‘The head of Grise. How did you get into the barrier without being noticed?’

Right now, this gutter is surrounded by barriers spread by the priests of the holy kingdom so that not even a single mouse can escape.
Not only can I not pass through materially, but I can feel it even if I pass through skills.

Even if you can break it, then you’ll feel like you’ve broken it.
Then how is that man here without anyone knowing?

‘It’s a technique using Grise’s unique Ryunar… I don’t like it.’

Grise’s attribute is light.
At least as far as Mullin knows, there are very few technologies that can covertly infiltrate the light, and he has a rough grasp of even that.
However, none of the techniques Mullin knew had any effect to deceive the present barrier.

As they got closer, Dre saw the mace in Mullin’s hand and grinned.

“Oooh, Sister Gwang. Did you show her instincts again because you couldn’t stand it again? Yes. You went crazy as well. Draw.”
“This bird…!”

But Dre comes over and hides her eyes behind the sparkling Raffnir.
Barely suppressing the urge to break the cob, Mullin let out a sigh.

“How was the operation?”
“You mean a cigar? I stabbed it and locked it up. I thought it might be useful later.”
“?”

What kind of bullshit

“The operation is obviously to get him into real money… Aha.”

Mullin was convinced after seeing Grise.
Brave, the leader of the teenage family, was exterminated and Grise was able to sit as the next leader thanks to their powerful intelligence.
In other words, the information Dre wants is already from Grise.

“So please escort them first. The conversation with the royal family has already ended.”

Dre didn’t talk to the royal family.
He’s kind of sensible, and once he’s working, he’ll take care of it coolly, but this time, he didn’t have the time to do that.
Perhaps it was Leo who was next to him.
So Mullin openly ignored Dre and admired Leo.

“Hoh. It’s quick to get things done.”
“…”

Dre, obviously ignored, pouted her mouth.
Mullin, who was looking at it suely, said.

“Okay. I’ll escort you. But next time, don’t speak in a commanding tone. Before I break your head.”
“Yes, Madam Nun.”
“This color…!”

Dre quickly walks away with Leo.
Mullin sighed and said to her back.

“It won’t be something that can only be solved by nobles.”
“…”

Doesn’t answer.
If he didn’t know, he would probably have returned it, saying what bullshit he was talking about, but the problem is that Dre is also aware of it.

Then what are you going to do?

Leaving Mullin’s questions behind, he and Leo went somewhere side by side.

Rapnir and the Holy Kingdom priests have already started escorting the members of the arena.
After tens of minutes.
In the huge procession that suddenly started, the rats hiding in the shack also stick their heads out to watch.
Looking at the ridicule and anxiety mixed on his face, Seongguk passed through the ‘polished road’.

The bare faces of the members of the gutter were revealed in the dog’s area.
Criminals who were completely subdued, bound by the Holy Laws of Light, floated in the sky and became a spectacle for people.
Residents living in Gae District formed a sea of ​​people on both sides of the road to watch the procession of the Holy Kingdom.

The fanatics walked the front, proud and satisfied with the feeling that they had done a good job.
However, some sensitive and normal fanatics noticed that there was a strange look mixed in.

“Hey Nari…”

A Seongguk member approaching someone’s call.

“Why is that?”
“That… Are they not coming back anymore?”
Haha. Rest assured, we, Narnia, will never let go of the wicked and cruel criminals!”

In reality, I wasn’t sure because I had to hand over a recruit to Enthiaer, but I said that just to reassure you.

And.

“That… By any chance.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”

After a while, the smile of the member of Seongguk hardened after hearing the hesitant old man.
It wasn’t just one such scene. Here and there, members of fanatics can be seen perplexed.
Mullin, who glanced at the scene, sighed and Raffnir smiled single-single.

“As expected, this is how it works. What are we going to do now?”
“I’ll leave it to the will of the light flame.”
“…”

The situation paralyzes reason and fanaticism on the subject that has been grasped.
This is why she hates this woman, Mullin sighed again.

***

A golden curtain swirls around me.

Barrier of light.
It was the unique technique of the Gryze family.

If you stay inside, conversations involving mana flow from the outside will be blocked.
Leo, who had prayed with a projected body, showed his true self with a nervous look when my permission was granted.

After giving instructions to the people of Seongguk, I took him to a secluded place.
Of course, we weren’t the only ones there, Krasche and one of the other knight commanders were also standing there.

“Of course, our words cannot be heard from outside…”
“Main subject.”
“…”

Leo lowered his eyes.
It was a little surprising.
Of course, I thought he would hate me and grind his teeth, but it feels like he gave up on everything in the world.

“I will reveal the secret of Count Silmoney.”
“Also.”
“I will provide information as well as support for negotiations with him.”

I know all about my circumstances.

“You’ve seen a lot.”
“Because that Ryze’s strength is intelligence. But, he hasn’t seen you in person, so take your anger out.”

So. How are you? Leo asked with his eyes.
But there was a certain light in those eyes that I was going to accept, and I was damned for that.

“I refuse.”
“…”

Leor opened his mouth a little and soon became an astonished expression.

“Why? The book manager of the Six Dragons faction, which was at least possible, you personally made and escorted to death, and that will also go behind the real money. Such a strategy…”
“It was an operation that I didn’t even believe in in the first place.”

Capture the meeting between the gnome and the piglet.
But, even if caught, wouldn’t the piglet have a way to make excuses?
No, in the first place, it was questionable whether he would ever meet a subordinate like Shiga himself.

It would have been nice if things worked out, but…

“Did you feel good when I stabbed that book manager?”
“…”
“Did you think you could get the upper hand on the deal? Excuse me, I didn’t expect much from that plan. My biggest plan… Was to kill Silver Money with my own hands if things went wrong. Was.”

That’s the simplest
It’s a negotiation, and it’s a way I can handle alone.

However, if I used this method, I wouldn’t have taken only one real money.
I probably…

“…Yes. You would do that.”

Then Leo got down on his knees and bowed his back.

“I had no intention of getting the upper hand. I just thought they would accept my deal.”
“…”

Krasche and the leader of the Bearded Knights outside opened their mouths in amazement.
Like that or not, I looked down at him without saying a word.

“What do you want?”
“That’s… I’ll tell you when it’s done.”

This goes to the end.

“If you don’t tell me now, the deal is over. I’m telling you, this time I’m going to save you because of Krachet. My debt to him is over with this, so I’ll kill you next time I see you.”

I don’t know how big it is, but it seems annoying.

“…! Please… Compared to Dre-sama’s power, it won’t be such a big deal.”
“If it’s that much, why don’t you solve it with the great Grise?”

At the end of my words, I cut the barrier with a knife.
Leor called out from behind me as I was about to leave without hesitation.

“El! It hurts a lot!!”
“…”
“The ability you demonstrated in the lecture… Kuh…”

Stop talking and bite your lip.
And he banged his head on the floor as if to punish himself and said:

“It takes skill, but the child finds you.”
“?”

Where are you going to find me?

“Please, please. When this is over, please, meet L.”
“…”

Looking to the side, Krachet is bowing his head.
This bastard would hate me too.

They both hate me terribly, but are working for the people they care about.
And that’s it.

Live a good life

Again, I sighed because it stimulated that fucking sensibility.

“The condition is that we will cooperate unconditionally until this is completed smoothly. If you don’t like it, that’s it.”
“I’ll do it.”

Leo had no hesitation.
All you have to do is save your daughter.
So I clicked my tongue too.

“Okay. Get up.”

Leo got up slowly.
He didn’t even try to shake off his clothes, so Krasche and the knight commander hurriedly came and dusted off his clothes.

“…There is one thing you should know.”
“Don’t underestimate Grise too much or be prepared?”

I said it nonchalantly, but Leo easily ignored it.

“Only nobles won’t try to protect Real Money.”
“I guess so.”
“…”

If you think about it for a bit, you can tell.
Why am I still standing still?
Why are you ignoring the voice of your heart saying, “It’s okay if I help you right now” And just watching?

A thought I had a while back comes to mind.
Am I deliberately neglecting it?
Or are you incompetent?

Or not…?
