Chapter 444 – Alcohol, Knight, Adventurer -1-

Black Hand Ismay is a low-ranking official in Nema Natas.

Bernstein learned her work.

The reason why these two people claimed to be servants and suffered unbecoming humiliation was simple.

It was mobilized out of necessity.

There is something I have done so far.

In return for failure, you voluntarily take on the responsibility of losing face and are punished.

They failed to properly lead the Leo Floyd and Artificial Devil fusion project, and they needed a clear result today to save their lives.

“What was that bastard’s name?”

“This is Bernstein…”

Roman, who had been playing with Ismay’s body like a toy, looked back.

“If you get hit by that, you will be severely punished. Come quickly.”

“Rueh…”

A pronunciation that makes your gums shatter and become crushed.

Bernstein followed Roman’s punch, holding his molar and chin.

Transcendent power reflected in a moment, violence without mercy, life.

Based on that, the fear in Bernstein’s mind was infinitely stronger.

“···.”

When Roman just cast his gaze again.

I was able to see her lowering her gaze in accordance with her survival instinct.

“What about the big guy who looks like he’s a 4 knight?”

“Viscount Floyd came first…”

“Hmm.”

Roman massaged Ismay’s chest, suppressing the unpleasant sensation rising.

‘It feels like I’m massaging an ogre’s forearm.’

Ismay does not have an ugly face. Wherever she goes, she is evaluated as a beauty.

The nature of Roman’s blood and his body’s rejection of uncleanness combined to fuel a feeling of disgust in her heart.

‘It’s not fun to touch breasts, it just sucks.’

Why don’t you stop doing this despite such disgusting feelings? It’s not just that it’s fun to watch the guy following her squirm.

Anyway, Roman is the 3rd and 4th knight. She is completely at odds with those two people.

Each moment I faced them was a time when I was far from normal, so it is right to push forward with the same image as back then.

Typical examples include things like being infatuated with women or being mean only to men.

‘The only thing we did when we met was punching and fighting…’

I have no recollection of the two of them showing anything other than their rough behavior and dirty demeanor, which in some way fits the image of ‘adventurers’ that knights think of.

“Roman… That’s the mansion you see over there.”

“It’s so wide.”

A mansion that shows off its presence with unusually bright light in a territory where the sun is starting to set.

The road leading to the mansion seemed like a single walkway, no matter how many doors one had to pass through.

“The four knights went inside in a carriage, right?”

“Uh… That’s right.”

“What is the crime of a horse moving that big thing?”

“···.”

Walking leisurely, Roman spread his senses and groped.

From gardeners to gatekeepers, cleaning staff, and handymen carrying luggage.

‘As expected, there are no healthy people.’

The energy itself was faint, as if he had used something special like the two who came to meet him.

The black power definitely existed within.

Were all the people in this mansion originally under Nema Natas?

Or did they decide to set a trap?

“This is the last door.”

“Oh. I can see it, so open it quickly.”

The moment you step over the iron gate that was pushed out by the sloppy gatekeepers and step on the floor.

The uncanny power of Ismay and Bernstein, caught in Roman’s tight senses, soared like flames.

‘Is this the area where black magic is amplified?’

I can feel that the energy between them, which they are still hiding somehow, has become stronger.

There.

‘There is also below.’

Could it be that the preparations end with just one area?

Perhaps they were buried in advance to secure enough corpses to use for black magic.

I felt a unique strangeness beneath the ground I was stepping on.

This is why there is a saying that you should not give wizards a designated space and time to deal with them.

In addition, many catalysts and devices are caught in the nerves.

It’s a trap where the price is disproportionate to the reputation, even though I’m clearly the only customer.

If the self-respecting three knights allowed this, it brings to mind a hypothesis.

‘Has everything I’m done been discovered?’

Isn’t this the readiness to believe?

Because I assumed that I could always get caught by causing a big incident.

Not surprisingly, I was immediately convinced that it was possible.

“You two are waiting on the third floor.”

Ismay’s face is smiling triumphantly, as if he has already won.

Roman laughed at that and released his hand from her shoulder.

I walked towards the door of the mansion with great strides.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been invited to a family drinking party, so I’m looking forward to it. There’s even a friendly attendant.”

“I will serve you properly.”

With those words, Ismay went in front of Roman and opened the door.

··

··

“He’ll be there soon. He said he was walking from the entrance.”

“Among adventurers, a guy named Platinum would bite into a place like this…”

“You are at an age when your blood is on fire. Whether or not you discern the subject over there can determine life or death.”

Juergena and Cedric were exchanging short conversations while waiting for Roman.

“Ha…”

“Don’t you like the alcohol prepared?”

“It’s not like that.”

4 Knight Cedric denied Juergena’s question.

Also, he asks why he is so dissatisfied with his face.

Before answering, Cedric sighed and looked around him. And I think about the news I heard from Juergena.

– On the day Leo Floyd died, there was a prostitute and a pimp who accepted him as a customer.

– The place we moved to is, as expected, where the Knight Commander of Eunik is.

– Immediately after the incident, Roman, a platinum adventurer, went to the church for treatment.

– The facts announced by the empire and the church, the things you heard while sitting in the territory, and my information, there must be something that goes against all of these, right?

“I just came to confirm the facts regarding my son Leo Floyd.”

“I know. Why say something so sad twice?”

“···I know this, but what on earth is this like to people around me?”

There were things Jurgena said that lured her into this position.

They raised questions about Leo Floyd’s death, provided information periodically, and asked the adventurer to ask questions directly to the adventurer himself.

So, from the perspective of 4 article Cedric Floyd, I expected today’s drinking party to be heavy and serious.

But when I looked around, it was full of naked women.

The scenery was no different from a brothel or entertainment district.

“What can I do? This is basic to calling a group of adventurers.”

“Anyway, adventurers…”

“It’s a picture we don’t understand.”

“Tsk.”

The 4th knight, unable to bear his frustration, clicked his tongue and grabbed the bottle.

He bit down on the women who came to serve him drinks and filled his glass with a displeased expression.

“I’ll have a drink first.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

I was watching Cedric emptying the strong drink in one gulp.

A servant approached the two people.

“A guest has arrived.”

“You came sooner than I thought. Please guide me quickly.”

After seeing her servant go out the door with her head bowed, he uncrossed her legs.

“Cedric.”

A face that asks why are you calling me? The big man who was passing the drinks moved his gaze towards Jurgena.

“Are you going to kill the adventurer?”

“···If it’s relevant, then so be it.”

“That’s a lot of affection.”

He didn’t mention that his fatherly love had become distorted.

In Cedric Floyd’s view, he is the same person who kills his child with a single knife.

“Your child joined hands with a warlock and became a devil. Would you be able to understand if I informed you with a letter with a few letters?”

“From my perspective, the response from the imperial family and the church was not good. There were many more plausible methods.”

Cedric, who had already emptied the bottle of alcohol, let out a hot breath.

Tak!

The four knights roughly placed their empty glass cups on the table.

As if she had lost her mind, she let out a laugh, raised the corners of her mouth, and shouted at me.

“Let me ask you one question.”

“Hmm?”

“What on earth are you trying to do? I’m used to being swung with a sword, but this time I’m a little curious.”

“I don’t understand the point of your question.”

“I haven’t lived in a situation like this my whole life without paying attention. What are you trying to do by forcing me to do it?”

Juergena did not hide her smile in response to Cedric’s question.

‘Even if you can’t overcome your temper and act like an animal, your head isn’t an animal either.’

Perhaps she was forcibly trained in the position of leading the family.

4 The article said she already had the awareness that she was being used.

“I’ll give you the answer when this is over.”

“As long as I know the truth, it’s over.”

Cedric turned his head as if he had lost interest in those words and picked up a new bottle.

When you fill that empty glass with a new kind of alcohol.

The closed door opened.

“It’s been a while, knights.”

Roman walked in wearing Ismay and looked around the room while saying hello.

She grabbed another woman and came next to her.

“Are you here? It’s been a while.”

“···.”

Unlike Juergena, who welcomes you verbally without changing her expression.

Cedric looked at Roman and looked like he had taken a bitter pill.

“All the guests haven’t even arrived, and you’re already drinking? Even if I’m just an adventurer, I’d feel bad if I were left out.”

“It somehow ended up like this. It’s not too late, so hurry up and sit down.”

“Excuse me.”

3 Roman, who was sitting across from the driver, lifted the overturned glass.

The female servant caught with Ismay was holding a bottle of alcohol.

“No, not this.”

“···Yes?”

The servant’s eyes flickered with confusion as Roman rejected the bottle with her hand.

She ignored that look.

Roman thrust his glass at Jürgena, who was sitting opposite her.

“Pour a drink.”
