Chapter 51 – Episode 51 in the City of Luxury and Pleasure, Reis Velkus, There Is an Elven Storehouse…
I revisited the Solarion Mansion to see Emir’s condition.
Whoops.
I confirmed the condition by continuously casting recovery spells on Emir’s body.
Her breathing was stable and her complexion had returned.
It was thanks to the periodic injection of recovery magic.
‘At this rate, he’ll be conscious by next week.’
Mind was set
After checking my body condition, I got up from my seat.
“Whoa.”
My footsteps did not come off easily.
The desire to see more of Emir continued to haunt me.
Profit.
I took a hard step.
“How is it?”
When I went out the door, Duke Solarion was waiting for me.
“Very good. You will find consciousness sooner or later.”
“Ha, thank you very much. On behalf of Solarion, thank you. Thanks to you, her daughter’s complexion has improved a lot.”
“Fortunately, the. By the way, you also found a new medical staff.”
“This time, we selected the most capable ones. After all, the important thing is whether you can treat it.”
The Duke, who had been laughing for a while, changed his expression and asked.
“But do you know what?”
“What do you mean?”
“You mean the moves of the neutrals these days are questionable. Do you know anything?”
“I do not know. I am not interested in politics.”
“Is it?”
“Yes.”
Duke Solarion stroked his chin.
“No matter how much the neutrals gather around, it’s a ragged mess, but I’m worried about it.”
“Is that so?”
“I think the minister should be interested in politics now. Didn’t you take the chancellor’s seat by the grace of the Emperor? Would you like to support His Majesty the Emperor like the best magician in the empire?”
The duke reminded me of the Emperor’s selection of me as Minister of Magic.
It must mean that since you have received grace, you must repay it.
However, the decision was not easy for me, who was not ignorant of the emperor’s purpose.
“Now, the center of the empire will revolve around the present emperor, His Majesty. Aristocrats and neutrals are just idiots who don’t see the trend of the times.”
It is the center of the empire.
I remembered the image of the emperor who came to the mansion.
The emperor, who sat in the seat of honor and looked at Seria and me with an excited expression, ejaculated.
It was too ugly to be called the emperor of a country and the main character of a work.
He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed.
However, only me and Seria know this.
Other nobles had no way to know.
“It is.”
I nodded, hiding my emotions.
“Then why don’t you marry our emir? Shouldn’t we give the power of the imperial faction now?”
Was it for this talk?
“Engagement is a heavy story. It’s not a good thing to say in a situation where Lady Solarion has collapsed.”
“Do you still have that in mind?”
I was talking about Solarion’s unilateral breakup of the marriage contract with the Dmitri family.
“I am sorry about what happened at that time. As you know, you know very well that aristocratic marriages are meant to strengthen the family.”
Man nice smile.
He knew what a sinister ulterior motive was hidden behind that smile.
“It is already in the past. It does not affect my choice.”
“Haha.”
Duke Solarion, who laughed lowly, looked at me in the eye and opened his mouth.
“I say it straight-forward. Marry my daughter This is a request from me, the head of Solarion, and not from anyone else. You are the first to ask for something like this.”
My answer was simple.
“Sorry.”
“Keuheum, I’ll try holding it one more time.”
“My answer is the same.”
“Oh, is your daughter unattractive?”
I didn’t answer.
“There is none. Yes, of course she is my daughter. She is attractive, but she refuses. There must be some other reason. Maybe it’s because of those girls in the mansion? Having a concubine for her is a secret affair, so it doesn’t matter.”
“That’s not why.”
“Is it. Too bad. I was wondering if I could get a good son-in-law.”
I bowed my head.
“Then let’s go.”
“If you change your mind later, let me know.”
It won’t happen.
I will not propose to her first unless her Solarion is destroyed.
Today, in order to forget Emir, I thought I would find Snow White again.
***
I found a new city to find Lilith’s home base.
“Tell me where your house is.”
“This is my home. Bruise.”
“The house you used to live in.”
“That…”
Lilith’s confession she gave her the location of her stronghold her.
It is a city of luxury and pleasure.
It was Wraith Velcus.
It is said that there is a base of Lilith, who was the succubus’ transcendent body, deep underground here.
Reasons for finding the home of Lilith.
It was to find out Seria’s secret of hers.
Everything from the secrets of her birth her to information about her abilities her.
At first, I tried to listen to Lilith, but she didn’t tell me why half of Seria was a transcendent.
If she doesn’t tell me, she’ll have to find out for herself.
So it came
I turned my head and looked around.
Brilliant lights that light up the night.
In the streets, half-naked women were soliciting customers.
Alleyways full of gambling and sex were littered with drugged and woman-drunk people.
Reyes Velkus was a city where everything except murder was permitted.
The only Imperial territory that is not subject to Imperial law.
I saw a woman in a bunny girl with bunny ears.
Women seduce passers-by to advertise their casino.
“Boss, would you like to come here? If you come in now, we will give you a special gift. If you come in now, Mary can do a special service for you.”
A woman in a bunny girl sneaks up on her clothes her covering her breasts her.
Her white breasts and pink nipples were subtly visible. She was a woman who knew what men liked.
“I’m not interested in beasts.”
I flatly rejected the woman’s solicitation.
“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry.”
The woman immediately moved to find another target.
Basically, the empire was hostile to sub-species other than humans.
Elves, beastmen, dwarves and even orcs.
If there was a human being in a relationship, they were even punished by law.
This was the reason why no sub-species were seen in other cities in the empire.
However, the story was different for Wraith Velkus, where the imperial law did not work.
I didn’t care even if there were handicrafts.
Even if there are elves, they don’t kill them.
If an orc is seen and he doesn’t attack first, they have a tolerant policy.
That is why many tribes lived here.
From Suin the rabbit with rabbit ears like just before, Suin the cat, Suin the dog, and so on.
There were also many tourists who came to see subhuman species that could not be seen in the empire.
What I found here
It was to meet an elf.
Passing through a street full of people, I stood in front of the most splendid and huge building.
In front of the building made of marble, I saw a familiar face.
They were several nobles of the empire.
Among them, there was even a general who slaughtered a prisoner.
-Where the wind breathes.
Brilliant lighting and elegant atmosphere.
It looked like a classy restaurant, but in fact, it was an elven brothel.
“Welcome.”
The male elf, who was guiding customers from the entrance in uniform, made eye contact with me, and his expression hardened.
“Long time no see.”
“Mo, Mo, Maurice Dmitry?”
“It’s not nice to see a friend who was floating freely in the woods selling himself in a place like this… It’s nice to see an old friend’s face here.”
“Dae, the captain isn’t there right now.”
“Do you really think I would be fooled by such a lie?”
“Great!”
I snapped my fingers to stop him from pulling the knife out of his waistband.
Mana flowed, blocking the movement of the elves.
“I’m sorry. None of those who exposed their weapons to me survived. There…”
I whispered into the elf’s ear.
“If the image of Changgwan, which was built to raise funds for the war, is damaged, think about who will be on the sad side and move.”
After I finished talking, I passed the employee elf without regret.
The eyes of the people waiting in the lobby were fixed on me.
“It seems that the Minister of Magic also wants to taste elves.”
“Oh my, what kind of woman would fall into my arms?”
“Isn’t it the Minister of Magic who is harder to see than elves?”
‘Both men and women are all gathered together.’
They were nobles who came to share affection with elves who were not easily seen.
I ignored the stars behind me and opened the door to the president’s office.
“I definitely call when I eat…”
The eyes of the elf who was eating a well-cooked pork leg in the center of the president’s office turned to me.
It was an elf with a beautiful appearance.
She was so beautiful that not even the torn scar on her chin could ruin her beauty her. Rather, it added a wild beauty.
“Long time no see.”
“You you! Maurice Dmitry!”
“Aren’t elves vegetarian? Changgwan wasn’t the only thing that changed after coming to this city.”
Even whiskey was placed next to the meat.
An elf who likes meat and alcohol.
“I learned that eating meat is an essential dietary habit in order to fight well… Rather than that, why are you here!”
“I came to find you. Remilia.”
“I’m sure he said he’d slit his throat if he came back.”
“Take it if you can. Before that, this window will all be blown away.”
Remilia glared at me for a moment before laughing out loud.
Haha! Would I really slit your neck his? The war hero who saved our elves!”
“Other elves would be sad if they heard that.”
“Be sad. Fools. I don’t even know who helped the elf race survive.”
Remilia clicked her tongue.
A great war between elves and orcs that took place a year ago.
The elves won, but the wounds of the war were deep.
More than 70% of the forest was set on fire, and the World Tree was barely protected, but it did not have the strength it used to.
The elves needed a way to regain their strength, and that way was to appoint a new war hero.
They made me a war hero and wanted to be their leader, but I refused.
Because I had to go home.
It was a huge wound and an insult to the proud elves.
Some extreme elves even declared that they would kill me.
I did not dare to send an assassin.
I sent the world tree as a token of gratitude, but the relationship between the elf and I was not very good.
Remilia took a big bite into the pork leg she was holding.
“Would you like a bite to eat? The meat here is pretty good. The pork foreleg is cooked for 8 hours, so it melts in your mouth.”
“Not required.”
“At first, I felt repulsive because it felt like I was eating orcs, but the taste was amazing. Now it has become my regular.”
She giggled.
“But what happened?”
“I need help.”
“The world’s Maurice Dmitri needs help. Do you think it’s pretty difficult?”
“It’s not difficult, but if you are there, it’s many times easier.”
“What can I do to help?”
“Ask for directions.”
The basement of Wraith Velcus is long and complicated.
I needed a guide from a local.
Remilia was the most suitable woman for this job.
He has bright eyes, good ears, and excellent ability to find his way.
If there is a trap, you will find it quickly.
“Remuneration?”
“Are the elves in the world taking money and moving?”
“Because I know there are more important things in the world than pride.”
“The elves are also corrupted.”
“Cheuk, that might be.”
Remilia smiled self-deprecatingly.
“A down payment of 300 gold. I’ll give you another 1700 gold when you’re done.”
“Hey, this is money left over even after rolling around with Ace three times.”
“If you are hiring a talented president, you should spend that much, right?”
“I know.”
She took the money bag I gave her.
“Contract established. When can we start?”
“Right now.”
“Great. Then let’s move right away.”
Remilia took the equipment.
Quite a bit more reliable than I thought.
That is until they get caught in a trap set up in Lilith’s base.
***
“I’m trapped, I think I’m trapped?”
Remilia asked in a puzzled voice.
How did it happen?
After receiving Remilia’s guidance, I moved to my destination with ease.
I went in search of Lilith’s seemingly ordinary underground stronghold.
The first room I encountered after walking down a long hallway.
No matter how hard I tried, the door wouldn’t open.
I saw the writing on the door.
“Ancient language. Is this a letter you know?”
“Uh, I have some basic knowledge.”
“I want you to read it.”
He learned several magics, but had no knowledge of the ancient language.
“Okay. Wait a minute.”
Remilia looked at the writing on the door and read it slowly.
“You can go out. This room has to be…”
Remilia’s face her, which was stuttering, turned red like a carrot.
“What can I do to get out?”
“Yeah, that’s what I mean.”
“I wish I could tell you sooner. Are you unable to interpret it?”
“That, that… How about we go back? I’d rather bring another friend…”
“Don’t be ridiculous. The 300 gold you ate wasn’t even digested. Then look over there.”
I pointed to the door through which we entered.
Likewise, it was closed and not opened.
“There is no going back. Solving that riddle quickly is the only key to getting out of here.”
Remilia lowered her head.
Then he murmured in a low voice that could not be heard.
“…”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you very well.”
“That, so…”
“It’s frustrating. Speak quickly before it explodes.”
“… Goddaughter…”
“What?”
“This room is a room where you can only leave if you have a goddaughter.”
Remilia shouted without even making eye contact.
What a great daughter.
It’s the home of the goddamn succubus.
“Is it?”
I said in a calm voice.
“Good job.”
“Now, wait… You’re not asking me to do it, are you?”
I ignored Remilia’s words and gathered mana.
[Fire Buster]
Bang!
The flames from my fingertips shattered the door that stood in my way.
Remilia looked at the magically opened door with dumbfounded eyes and turned to me.
“Boo, could you break it? But why didn’t you tell me?”
“To test your abilities. Wouldn’t it be useful to know at least an ancient language?”
“Now, wait a minute…”
“It was quite nice to see him being shy.”
I passed her and entered the breached door.
“Hey, Maurice, you bastard orc!”
“There is an error in that statement. Orcs are not as handsome as me.”
“Wow, annoying.”
As I led the way, a new room appeared before my eyes.
Is it the next stage?
I opened the door and entered.
Into my eyes.
“What? Is that the letter?”
A room of the same shape with the same letters as the first room entered.
“You can only go out if you have a goddaughter…”
Remilia looked at me with a shocked face.
“There is no way to do this.”
