Chapter 254 – Land Ruled by Dragons (2)

“…… That’s how it happened.”

“Oh, that’s right. Then I’ll have to be careful going this way.”

While having conversations with the paladin, Aderange, who heard about the current state of the empire, secrets unknown to anyone except a high-ranking person like a paladin, and problems with the empire, etc. Saw.

“Okay, thanks for the explanation.”
“… No. Madam, all of this is under God’s guidance. Amen-.”
“… Amen.”

After hearing the Holy Knight’s Lord’s Prayer, Aderange looked at the Holy Knight looking at him and called his name.

A low-level undead is bound to be purified just by bearing the name of a god, but she was able to survive under her sun, so there was no particular blow.

However, the fact that the undead called God’s name had a psychological impact on the level of washing one’s face with excrement.

‘This unlucky paladin….’

Ade Lange glared fiercely at the paladin who had poured feces on her own face her.

However, her paladin her, who had already corroborated her alibi of Aderange by various means, greeted her with her unquestioning innocent smile.

“Haha, madam. It’s hard to look at it with such hot eyes.”

“… I’m sorry.”

Shall I kill you right now? That’s what I thought—but if I killed a paladin in broad daylight like this, I couldn’t hide it.

Hiding her fingernails and killing herself, Ade Lange sent her paladin away with her aristocratic smile.

As she turned around and left, she asked Ruby, who was following her.

“Ruby, where is this dessert shop?”
“Dessert?”
“Okay. I put something dirty in her mouth her, so I need to wash it off quickly.”
“Sorry, I don’t know what dessert is….”
“… Alas, it was. You, it was an assassin’s tool.”

Ade Lange, who spoke her mind-blowing words without hesitation, looked around her without any guilt and looked for a place where there might be a dessert shop.

It was easy. First of all, such food is expensive, and expensive food will not be sold in areas where commoners live.

Ade Lange, who went straight into the avenue of the wealthy, saw her sign her and found a dessert shop.

“Um- from here to here, give me everything.”
“Yes, I understand.”

Kanta was embarrassed once when she saw Aderange ordering everything on the menu board, she panicked twice when she saw the price written on the menu board, and she panicked three times when she saw the amount of desserts that came out after a while. Surprised.

“Now, I’m not living here- but enjoy your meal.”

“… At this price.”

“Yes?”

“With this money, I can buy enough food for my tribe members to live on for a month.”

“Aha.”

As she looked at Kantha, who blamed herself alone, Ade Lange let out a smile as if she was having fun.

And then she cries out about her cruel reality her, which only she did n’t know.

“Is it just your tribe? Even among the people of the Empire, there are many people who live without knowing that this kind of food even exists.”

“What? No, then… Why is this store there?”

“For nobles.”

Putting her fluffy cake in her mouth, Ade Lange smiled aristocratically. She took it for granted that she was standing on top, a smile full of arrogance and not a hint of doubt.

“Everything in this world is like that. The pack animals give up their own food for the leader, and the leader eats it all.”

The top 1% rule everything in the world.
It was the same in this world.

“Perhaps that is why the Empire is invading your tribe.”

“… Why invade our tribe?”

“Yes, save what you have, share it with each other, and then all the people of the empire now can live without lacking.”

Of course, that was literally no ‘shortage’, so no one could have more than enough.

In other words, it meant that there was no obstacle in living, but living with a feeling that there was always something lacking in enjoying life.

“However, that is not enough! I want to collect useless wealth, waste it, trample on others and stand on top of them! This is human nature!”

“… Human nature.”

“Your tribe must be the same.”

“—Our tribe is not like that.”

Upon hearing her Ade Lange’s words her, her cantha her, who was hot, glared at her and denied her words her. But to Ade Lange, who has lived hundreds of years and seen thousands of human groups, those words were her snort her.

“Okay? Then, in your tribe, do you share what you have with each other and do everyone live equally?”

“Yes.”

“No way. That the best warrior of the tribe and the so-and-so with no power get equal treatment?”

At those words, Kanta also shut her mouth tightly. Being at the top of her tribe’s warriors, she felt equal to everyone else…….

Would a low-ranking warrior who is weaker than others, unable to raise his major his, and therefore discriminated against and humiliated every day, think the same way?

“She is treated differently according to her ability to her. No one can escape this man-made system. Even the gods beyond the heavens are like that.”

“… Wait a minute. Hang on.”

Kanta, who was listening to her, realized a problem. That system was created by humans, and if it’s human nature….

It meant that even if the empire was replaced now, it would not change that the tribe would suffer the same fate one day.

“How should… How can I avoid such a future?”

“What have you heard so far? Is that a hat stand on the head?”

Ade Lange took her last piece of cake and ate it, then raised her fork and pointed it at her.

“You can become a noble.”

“… Am I a noble?”

“To be precise, become a ruler, this. Well- in the form of a primitive tribe of dozens of people, it would be impossible to become a ruler at best.”

Saying that, Ade Lange, who was about to get up from her seat her, flinched at her and met her eyes with Ruby, who was watching the two of them.

Cream and bread crumbs were smeared on her lips, and only then did Aderange realize why the dessert disappeared so quickly.

It was too little, she thought, but she wasn’t. She had two eating mouths, so she disappeared at twice the speed.

“Why are you lacking?”
“No… It’s okay.”
“Um- no. Come to think of it, I’m also lacking a bit. Waiter.”

Immediately realizing her ruby ​​heart her, Ade Lange sat back in her seat her, lightly shaking her bell and calling for her waiter.

The waiter sprinted over and held out the menu, but Ade Lange shook her head as she lightly pushed her order board away.

“Deserts on the menu, bring them one by one.”
“… Are you saying everything?”
“Okay. Hurry up, please.”

Saying so and adding a tip, the waiter went back to ordering as quickly as the word lightning bolt would fit.

The tip must have worked. Before long, the waiter returned with a cart full of cakes.

Seeing the sheep, Aderange looked at the waiter as if she was slightly fed up. The waiter smiled broadly and introduced them.

“Our restaurant is famous for having the most menus in the area!”

“Ah, that’s right-“

Ade Lange realized she had made a mistake, and she filled her empty stomach with her cake.

* * *

“…… What?”
“No, that’s what I mean- Master. Because I put shit in my mouth….”
“What kind of bullshit is that? Put your shit in it? Did you pick up dog poop and eat it?”

After a while, Do-jin, whose fever went down thanks to Ade Lange’s cool body her, looked at the party entering her room and questioned them.

And I was able to find out that they used a gold coin for dessert in that short time.

“I’m the kind of person who doesn’t say anything about spending money… You know things are a little different now, right?”

“Oh, of course. I’ve never seen the owner save money.”

“We’ve just smuggled ourselves into the Empire. There is no way to get money legally here.”

Going to visit the upper Earth branch in the Empire? Dojin had never officially entered the Empire.

It was equally impossible to make money doing adventure work, and the only way was to extort money from those living in the shadows, like I did yesterday….

Do-jin murmured that he was confused whether he came to attack the empire or to clean the back alleys of the empire.

“We didn’t come to do good for the Empire, did we?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Let’s be careful, you know? Understand?”

“Then, I will be careful from now on.”

“Neither of you, don’t blindly follow what he wants to do.”

“… I’m sorry.”

Kanta, who had heard about servants and slaves from Aderange, was filled with resentment, but he couldn’t argue with it.

Ruby used her childish privilege her to know nothing, her innocent face her only nodding her head.

Recognizing the fault of the three people, Do-jin sighed and told Aderange to take out what he had obtained.

“So, what did you find out?”

“Hmmmm- Last night’s zombie incident, it seems that everything has been sorted out.”

“Hasn’t it been a day?”

“Time is not important. I couldn’t organize the menial things in the back alley because there was no reason to organize them- It felt like that.”

“But… It’s not a big deal to organize a district anywhere with an empire-sized force.”

But it turned out to be very disappointing. It was the quickest and easiest way to film a pandemic as the entire empire became zombie idiots-.

If the empire perishes, wouldn’t there be at least no fools who would go to war against the Dungeon Command?

“Then I’ll have to weaken the empire in a different way….”

“That’s it, Master. I have a good idea.”

“What?”

“Whoa- I heard some interesting news from me.”

Do-jin listened to Aderange’s words. And, to be honest, what she said was the way I wanted to be possible.

* * *

“This is Lady Ruby Crystal from Baron Crystal, and Sir Aderange Etalin from Count Etalin!”

Two people in dresses enter the party. Do-jin, who followed to escort the two, was delighted with the fact that this strategy really worked.

‘No, what’s so lax…?’

Do-jin participated in the founding party of the empire.
