Chapter 55 – 55. Strange Companion – City of Witches (10)

The Margrave’s office in the Margrave’s Fortress, southern Frisia.

The Margrave’s office, where all kinds of documents and weapons are arranged like decoration. And the sofa and table for the reception of the margrave’s office. An elf wizard with shining platinum hair and blue eyes, with his legs resting on a table and his body covered in black robes.

And she was reporting to the Margrave, Edward, with only a thin piece of paper she had brought with her as a report along with an abacus.

Edward Pantalone.

He is 33 years old.

An impressive being with short-cut blue hair and rather narrow-looking eyes. Although it had a well-trained body, its muscles seemed woefully lacking compared to the knights roaming around outside.

Although he didn’t have much fat on his body, probably due to training, the fact that the knight had fat on his body was like evidence of self-indulgence.

Aside from that, people around me were in a state of reform. They say people have changed, but what is the truth? Whatever it is, the body of the iceberg hidden under the water is even bigger.

The tip of the iceberg and the rest.

Naturally, the results when the revealed 100% and the unrevealed 90% are revealed are completely different.

“I will report to you, Margrave Edward. Your sister and the Golden Sun came into contact, and the Golden Sun…Punished all the wizards and assassins dispatched from Elven Haim.”

“…So what do you want to say?”

“So, is it right to say, ‘I demand compensation for the damages? Anyway.'”

No matter when I hear it, the way he speaks is unbelievable.

…

“What do you have to say about the Golden Sun’s combat power being stronger than you think?”

“I would have told you. It was more serious than we thought. And…His power was stronger than we thought, enough to cause chaos even in Elvenheim. Was that our fault? Anyway. “

Soon after, she taps away on her calculator and tells Edward the amount to be paid, but Edward grabs her contract. If there are any special issues, the information must be shared within 12 hours.

They did not share with themselves what happened in the Great Forest, which these Kanfs call the Elven Forest.

He had already used his means of information to find out that the Golden Sun was much stronger than he thought, and of course he tried to block his entry by abusing the power of the Margrave, but that damned bitch, Elizarote, ruined his plan.

Of course, even if I had, I would never have stopped him.

No, Edward in the first place.

The being that was Edward had already died, and only the being armed with ‘special abilities’ remained in his body. Of course, is that useful in combat?

Well, if it is useful, it may be useful, and if not, it may not be. The important thing is that even if you use it, it is really difficult to control the current situation.

Geumtaeyang was much stronger than I thought.

In the intense flash that erupted even in the middle of the night, all the Elven Mages and Assassins were burned to death, leaving only powder behind. It was self-defense against those who attacked within the territory, and their deaths had to end in an ‘attack’ by thugs.

Above all, the presence of Elvenheim’s troops should not be allowed.

Of course, they are outsiders, and of course the only one officially designated as a collaborator and ‘mentor’ is this person right in front of them.

If there were any other entities, their existence had to be immediately erased.

And, crucially, what happens when he comes here is something he can never handle.

He is a wizard who sealed ‘Elizabeth’ and kept her alive by keeping her in suspended animation. Archmage.

Among archmages, he is the most powerful among existing archmages.

That’s what his ‘ability’ says, and judging from that ability, he has most of all the ‘materials’ to bring Elizabeth back to life, and he’s looking for just one of them.

The best thing is for Elizabeth to never be able to open her eyes like this.

And the ideal ‘survival’ route for him was to take over the position and play a role, and of course he had to get rid of Clark somehow.

…But these elves arbitrarily attacked the player.

Then he shamelessly came to me and asked for compensation.

“Yes, I had information about it, but you didn’t tell me? Then you also violated the contract… Elizarote. That bitch – you were in a hurry to bring back what I blocked. “I said.”

Clark must be eliminated. Geumtaeyang, he must be eliminated. Only then could he ‘survive.’

However, even if that was the case, it was not the case now, and he used his authority to control outsiders to block the road. But the damn little sister brought me in on her own.

No, actually, that was correct.

It was notarized by the Emperor of Uruk.

In fact, he is under the protection of Uruk, and if he prevents that, he could put pressure on Phrygia.

However, he’s focusing on other things right now and won’t be focusing much on him.

Could it be that ‘Gilgamesh’?

He wouldn’t care about Clark if he was the ‘Gilgamesh’ he knew.

Of course, it was a natural exercise of right, and Clark himself knew it.

Even though I was angry, I understood that and was self-respecting in not using magic right there, but according to the soldiers’ report, it looked like an easterner was trying to cause trouble.

Rather, if you use that as an excuse to request cooperation from each territory and city to prevent him from working properly, you can put pressure on him.

But her sister ruined it.

Damn it!

“If you think about it, isn’t that your fault too~? That’s right…The Margrave is weaker than her younger sister.. Hehe, ‘Elizabeth the Lioness’. And ‘Elizalotte the Princess Knight.’ “Is it right to hold me responsible for the person who is even weaker than me? And the person who opened his hands to me without being able to properly control the troops under his command, the troops under Elizabeth’s command? Is it right to say this?”

Anyway~

An elf wizard who is laughing heartily and criticizing Edward’s incompetence.

“…’Nito’, so I accepted your offer and at least it would be a contract to act in accordance with my plan.”

“Ah, but I didn’t tell them what to do. I just told them what happened in Elvenheim. No matter how much I cooperate, I follow the queen’s orders, but I don’t have the right to restrict each individual’s actions, right?”

So there was no order.

And in the end, after hearing about the incident that occurred in Elvenheim, they decided to eliminate it on their own.

It wasn’t something I ordered.

At first glance, he may have signed it thinking it was an advantageous contract, but if he died fighting in this territory and under his command, he should be compensated.

That was the contract.

“But at least the Elven Mages who came to kill your enemies are dead, so you have to take responsibility for that, right? It’s none other than your territory…”

That’s why I tell you to write your contract well. Was this the moment you were about to say that?

“Hello, how are you?”

“…!!!”

A man with black hair wearing a wolf mask, wearing a black coat that clings to his body, gaiters, and golden gauntlets on his left hand.

I intuitively knew that this was the ‘Oriental’ who was trying to cause trouble that the soldiers had mentioned. Because there wasn’t a single Easterner in this territory right now.

He used to banish them to other places and punish them if they did not obey.

So, he is a being who was with the golden sun.

And at the same time, Nito stands up from his seat.

Of course-

“Whoa, don’t run away. ‘Nito’. So, is your name ‘Nito’ now?”

“…What do you mean-“

“You’re having fun. Do more, you bitch.”

Under? Nito looks at him while doing this. Of course, his identity. And considering his position…He is now ‘promoting’ rather than trying to get rid of himself.

“I’ll let it pass as to your minor foul play. But not a second time. Don’t run away, ‘Nito.’ You should do your best here and plan a plan to take down the Golden Sun. You can run away, but then I will chase you down personally. “You better be prepared. I don’t know how long you’ll be able to shake me off, but I’ve dealt with people like you a lot, so I know it well. So behave yourself well.”

Yes, as they say, they are daring to create a training ground with ‘confidence’. The problem is that he can’t run away from this hound, and he’s so damn strong that he can’t do anything else.

That damn guy.

Dick Johnson.

No, the Hound of Tindalos!

Even with the grace of the great Daemon Sultan, you are an unholy bastard!

Of course he doesn’t even care about that. I didn’t ask for it, and it’s a grace that is too much for a mortal, but I don’t know it. This object was too strong to punish this unholy being who felt shame and loathed it, and who loathed itself.

Even more than yourself.

Dick Johnson’s eyes turn to Edward.

“And…Did you say Edward? Or…Should I call you ‘Kang Ho-jun’?”

“…!!!!”

And Edward.

No, he was reincarnated in the body of Edward Pantalone. ‘Kang Ho-jun’ felt his heart shrink for a moment after hearing that man’s words. Nito too, uh, what is it? I looked at him with a face like that. Why do you know?

Of course, Nito recognized that too, so he came here.

Part of me wants to expose that masker’s false face, but it’s not my job, so I’ll just ignore it, but it’s still disgusting.

“Ah, this applies not only to these bastards, but also to you. Has it been a month since I’ve been called by my real name? ‘Reincarnated Person’. Don’t be too surprised by this. It’s my specialty to spot people who come from another world like a ghost. So don’t show off. Mind.”

“What are you talking about?”

Ah, you’re trying to get rid of this?

Then what…

“Kang Ho-jun, age 53. He lived alone his whole life, working as a freelancer in the corner of his room, ignoring his parents, working a part-time job, quitting his job after a week, working for a month, and spending the rest of the year in the corner of his room shouting, ‘Rojibori Daisuki! ‘ And you only attracted aggro on the Internet, right?”

Did I say it once?

If your secret is revealed to someone who is seeing it for the first time, it is a truly embarrassing past. And of course, if you know everything inside out and even know how he died, the impact will be even greater.

“At the age of 38, you captured a 5-year-old girl, kidnapped her, sexually assaulted her, and then raped her… Wow, you only served 15 years in prison, you disgusting pedophilia?”

“…!!!!”

Get up from your seat. Of course I picked up the sword. Of course, the process is so slow that you can see it. Kang Ho-jun, it would be very easy to rip off the profile of this damn reincarnated person, and of course Dick, who is reciting it, is not in a very good mood.

If you want to confess your sin to those who shamelessly pretend not to notice your disgust, you must, of course, see that disgust for yourself.

This is something I can’t even do.

He’s not even a Supreme Court Justice, he’s just a monster that eats things that cross the world line.

The sword energy on the sword. And he catches that sword energy with just his left hand gauntlet.

Kaaaaa!!

“Then what? The victim’s family killed you as soon as you came out. But you know that. Once you’re trash, you’re always trash. Did you think you changed after reincarnating? Hey, people don’t change that easily. You’re that bad. “I don’t know if you’ve gone through such hardships. Did you really think that just because you were using someone else’s skin, you really became ‘Edward Pantalone’?”

“…Shut up!!”

“Oh, then shall I tell you more about what I know? You invest in orphanages of your own, but you only bring in young children and make them into maids? You dirty pedophilia.”

They say they do things like sponsoring and other things, but I don’t know.

To me, you’re still a dirty pedophile?

All you had to do was sponsor it, why did you bring it as your maid?

In Dick’s eyes, he still ate and grew up at the orphanage and sponsored the things he needed to study for a better life, so come and work as a maid and repay him! It’s being brought out like this, but is there really no lust there?

Damn.

There is no good will without a reason, and most of the reasons are ugly selfishness.

There is only one good will without reason.

And because of that, Dick was alive today, and he was still maintaining his sanity and holding on to the end.

“Thank goodness I’m not crushing your bullshit right now. The abilities and strength you have… And that bitch by your side. That’s the hand you can use. I’m standing before you now as a referee. , Try your best to struggle.”

Kwaduk!!

Give strength to your hands. A sword covered in sword energy. Did you say it was a bastard sword? He said that his family has been using heavy swords for generations, but the weight is not that heavy.

Even though it is the same size, it is made of much heavier ‘black iron’. Ah, looking at the hole in the middle of the sword, it looks like they drilled a hole in it to reduce the weight.

So is it lighter?

And – looking at the bent sword, Edward and Kang Ho-jun become thoughtful and take a step back.

Of course, he instinctively knew that he couldn’t run away, so he didn’t run away.

Even if you go, they can chase you down and kill you anyway.

And Dick said to Nito:

Of course, I told you this before I left.

Don’t play foul.

Does it make sense that the final boss comes to the early area and tries to weed out newbies? They even use the Elder God’s liaison.

The Demon Sultan tells him not to kill him, but he just can’t get over this.

Yes, no killing, but punishment is at your discretion.

This lady isn’t that thorough.

It’s so fucking funny if you use this to criticize the world as you see fit.

She is a person who can do that, but from that woman’s point of view, she needs the same thing.

“And I told you not to play foul, you bitch? I won’t forgive those who don’t consider the rules as rules and try to get around them.”

“…!!!”

Kwaaaaa!!!

And just like that, he punches her. Nito gets hit on the head without even thinking about dodging. And then his head explodes, and at the same time… The lumps of flesh stick together again, and Neato’s head begins to regenerate.

It was an absolutely terrifying sight, and Edward looked at it.

No, Kang Ho-jun looked at it and was filled with extreme fear as he saw Nito coming back to life with a strange voice.

“…Oh, really. Do you know how much it hurts to be shattered like this?“

“It’s not my job. Instead of relying on someone else’s power, create that power yourself. As a penalty, you can’t leave this place until this bastard dies.”

“I wonder if this is too much.“

“…That’s too much. Is there anything more disgusting than a bitch who’s had enough of her age to get scared by a larvae and try to weed them out?”

“What?“

“He’s going to be more powerful than you. That’s a sure thing, and he’s got his eyes on that guy. Ah, yes, the big kid who’s complaining to his mom because his eyes are on a kid who’s younger than him. And he. “A being that will become even more powerful. The time to eliminate it is now. That would be natural.”

It is a world of survival of the fittest.

No matter how much we try to deny it, the world is a law of the jungle. A world where the weak are eaten, and those who survive become strong. It’s natural to try to do something when you’re weak.

He has to grow it somehow, and it’s trying to do crazy troll things to kill it before it takes over.

It’s true that these people are like that, but to think that they lived only for their own fun gave up on ‘fun’ and did such a weak thing.

“But…The name of the ‘First’ of the great Demon Sultan cries out for that action. Right? No matter what you do, you’re in a situation where you have an advantage, and you’ve dragged my ‘acquaintance’ into the fight, so you’re fighting like this, but you’re being damned by me. Are you scared of him?”

“…If you say one more word, I will kill you-“

The fist strikes again.

“One word~“

And then there is a huge explosion that shocks the building.

There was already enough noise to dispel the surroundings, but it created a barrier.

Another magic I received from Clark before arriving.

A magic that cuts off space by creating a thin wall.

Dick cut off its screams and at the same time spoke to Neato.

“I’m so scared, but damn it.“

Dick said to Nito, who screamed from the tremendous impact inflicted on the huge body.

“I told you. Keeping the rules means protecting yourself. Why are you making a match that I don’t need to do by taking the blame from the lady? All I have to do is break your head.”

You can’t kill me.

A voice came from inside my mind.

Ha, yes, you must be young.

Naturally, I felt the need to give some real education to this bitch who was already preparing to go out of her way and cause trouble just for fun. In fact, the Demon Sultan was a little angry at this, and of course he was allowed to hit his daughter with a back smash.

Yes, it doesn’t kill you, but it’s okay.

“My rule is not to kill you, but to put it another way, that’s like saying I don’t care what you do until you die. At least you have to be the half-asshole here.”

“Stop!“

“I’ll make you an asshole.”

Once again, a huge vibration echoes through the space.

And Nito’s ‘main body’ also suffered a great blow and became weak, and of course, after the space was released, Dick said while looking at Kang Ho-jun, who was drenched in sweat like a rat in a poison.

Dick wondered what would happen if he got scared before the fight started, so he said one more thing.

“Oh, don’t worry. Clark, he’s still weaker than me.”

“…”

Look how happy you are when you hear that.

Dick laughed at human foolishness and spoke to Kang Ho-jun, whose fighting spirit brightened once again.

Of course, he said he’s still weaker than you, but that doesn’t mean you’re stronger than him.

Ah, yes, you believe in ‘cheats’.

He had no intention of keeping Clark alive anyway, but if he really succeeded in killing Clark, he would just fall asleep again.

There is no one who keeps hunting dogs loose.

We are only awake because there is a meaning to existence, a meaning to wake up.

If he uses up his usefulness, he too will disappear.

“It’s better to struggle hard. If you can do it, you can live with me too. You’ve just found a new life, so shouldn’t you struggle hard?”

It’s disgusting to know what he’s going to do after all that struggle.

It’s not up to you to remove this.

“Ah, ugh…”

Nito is in pain, holding his entire body as if he had been hit.

The purple eyes looked down at Nito with disdain and thought.

…

They enjoy watching their children get ruined.

Working under a boss who is such a jerk is also hard work.

The only thing Dick can hear is a giggling voice coming from afar, a voice laughing at this current situation.

Is it okay if I take my time like this?

I was planning to kill Neato anyway, and all that Clark had asked me to do was confirm whether he was a reincarnated person or not and complete the verification.

“Take care of your business from now on. Anyway, I won’t disturb you for the time being. That proud margrave position… Why don’t you keep an eye on him?”

And Dick disappears from the spot. As if he wasn’t there.

“…”

And Kang Ho-jun, he felt an inexplicable feeling of sadism rising as he looked at Nito, who was unable to move in front of him. You damn bitch, you show off so much, but you can’t do anything and just get beaten up. Before extending his hand towards this pretentious ‘elf’. The office is pounding.

And the door opens.

“Your Excellency!!! I will report to you…Sigh?!”

And the article that came in.

He is the Elven Mage Nito, spread out as if drowsy.

And at the same time, seeing Margrave Edward sweating profusely, did you think that was the case? He thought so, but he was thinking of striking the horn when the parties heard. But there is something more important than that.

“Golden Sun!!! The Golden Sun came and went…And…Kidnapped Elizabeth!!!”

“…What?”

Geum Taeyang kidnapped a woman.

Then the window breaks and something is thrown.

And it was a bead, and on it was a gold sun and his-

No, Edward’s sister’s brother.

There was Elizabeth.

-Hey, Margrave, are you looking well?

And then, the crystal where Elizabeth is lying.

After stroking it, the blond-haired, dark-skinned wizard, Geumtaeyang, spoke to himself.

-Your younger sisters are awesome.
