280. King of the Desert (3)
“No, it’s real. “The famous imperial sword!!”
The young man in the gown spoke in a loud voice.
However, the sharp-looking middle-aged man who came into the hallway was still blunt.
Unless you see him in person, you look like you can’t believe it.
“It makes no sense. “No matter how purified Dilma is, is it possible for a grandmaster to easily become addicted to it?”
“I noticed that my pupils were significantly constricted after drinking three drinks. “Isn’t this an early symptom of addiction?”
The man may have been a Samad, but his skin was bronze-colored.
However, judging by his Western appearance, he was of mixed race and was not muscular, but had a large and slim body.
“Jeil Kendo is physically human, right? We can’t avoid medicine.”
“I can’t believe it until I see it for myself.”
He passed the banquet hall and walked deep into the hallway.
And, the moment he arrived at the room in question and opened the door.
I frowned as the scent of Dilma became even stronger, making it difficult to remain sane.
“What? “How much quantity was manufactured?”
“hahahaha…. Even though I asked for it, I kept urging it….”
I saw drunken men laughing in the room.
As I passed by them and entered the living room, I saw myself sitting on the sofa.
“That person is the Empire’s greatest sword?”
A picture of me giggling with my shirt unbuttoned and the women on either side of me.
Empty wine bottles were rolling around on the round table.
However, what was noteworthy here was the wine glass.
No matter how much dilma you put in, there will be green residue at the bottom of the glass.
Just looking at this and his blushing face, he was in a drunken state.
“Doctor, why are you here now? “How long have you waited?”
“Sorry, I have some work to do for a while.”
Behind the doctor, who was rubbing his hands together like flies, he made eye contact with a middle-aged man.
Then, I moved my body even more slyly.
He kicked the round table and caused the precarious wine bottle to fall to the floor.
The fallen bottle rolled helplessly and hit his shoe.
“This person here is an executive at the casting company. “He heard about the Marquis’s reputation and came to see him in person.”
“Is there such a thing as fame? . It’s just a superficial title….”
I chuckled and shook my head.
The middle-aged executive’s eyebrows twitched at my skeptical look.
“What do you mean, it’s just a shell? “You are already one of the most famous people in the empire.”
“What’s the use of treating someone like a celebrity only on the outside?”
I pushed away the women who were standing aside for a moment.
They were already so drunk that they often fell asleep on the sofa.
“This imperial family and nobles. “They focused on the ‘fundamental’ thing.”
I pretended to be hurt while drinking and showed my palm.
Then, he pointed to the blood stains that had appeared from hitting somewhere.
“Because I was born in a lowly orphanage, they didn’t even meet me properly. “They don’t even give you important positions.”
It is the best sword of the Empire, but it is neither a knight commander nor a general.
Even though he received the title of marquis, he was not provided with marquis territory.
Hearing those words, the person in the middle pursed his lips and exhaled deeply.
It was only after hearing the advice of a doctor wearing glasses who knew about this information that I gradually opened my ears.
“It’s true. “I heard that Marquis Mikhail Beil is still at the bottom of Subangsa Temple.”
“….”
I never thought that refusing to do work because it was annoying would be seen like this.
They looked at me pitifully and pitifully.
“Well, if you’re not a commoner and even an orphan, it’s worth it.”
The middle book nodded as if he was finally convinced.
“I understand. “I too am disillusioned by the nobles’ contempt.”
“Then you can understand my situation….”
I smiled and held out the wine glass again.
Then, the doctor wearing glasses hurriedly picked up a bottle and poured red wine.
“This isn’t the one you made me drink earlier.”
I glared at him as if he were going to kill me when he handed me fresh wine instead of taking Dilma.
Then, the guy asked the middle manager to look at this and looked at the middle manager.
“Please wait a moment. Marquis of Vale.”
He made the doctor step aside and approached himself.
Then, he opened his palm and asked me one question.
“How many numbers do you see?”
The connection book asked, pointing his index and middle fingers.
I snorted and shouted as if I was dumbfounded.
“Isn’t it 2? “Who do you think is an asshole!!”
The doctor standing behind me was startled by my loud voice and took a step back.
However, the man in the middle book was different.
He was dressed in a suit, and a smile appeared on his face as if he finally liked it.
“I’m sorry. “I just checked because you seemed excited for a moment.”
I can’t believe you said something like this when you have reason.
He must have thought I was serious when he calmed me down and told me to wait a moment.
“I will contact my subordinates so that you can receive more of my products. “Please wait a moment.”
The middle-aged man took his subordinate and walked away from me for a moment.
They turned the corner and came out of the room at a distance and resumed their conversation.
“Did you see it? You’re hooked, aren’t you? “The Empire’s First Sword is just as strong physically, but it’s the same human being.”
“….”
The doctor continued speaking with an excited expression.
“Yes, when you are under the influence of hallucinations, you tend to be honest enough to reveal your true feelings.”
He seemed to have made up his mind and took out a portable notepad from his pocket.
Then, he wrote down his orders and delivered them to his subordinates waiting in the hallway.
“However, it is dangerous to actively recommend Dilma to him right now. For now, it is best to distribute it mainly to those who have not yet reached the level of Young master….”
The doctor looked worriedly at his boss who was trying to bring Dilma into this mansion where the Samad royal family was located.
The middle book, who knew his feelings well, nodded silently.
“I know what you’re worried about. But, this is also a golden opportunity.”
The middle book stroked the Samad mountain sword he wore at his waist.
As someone who was once a soldier, he knew the class structure of the upper class.
“No matter how much he is ignored because of his origins, he will have the opportunity to meet many people of the highest class. “I’m sure our Dilma wine will be popular at the party he’s hosting.”
The man with a profound yet sharp look turned his head and listened to the sound of music at the end of the hallway in the distance.
“Dilma will soon spread throughout the banquet hall of VIPs. If that happens, the empire will gradually fester.”
“That’s….”
The doctor swallowed deeply.
Cold sweat began to flow from my forehead, perhaps realizing the impact that would occur through the Imperial First Sword.
“You, too, are living your life. “He is the person who served the First Sword directly.”
He slowly melted away the anxiety of his successor by mentioning a bright future.
It was indeed a tongue-in-cheek comment from a middle-level manager in a secret organization.
“Once the consignees arrive, give them only one bag of Dilma.”
“Only 1 bag? Looking at the amount taken, it looks like you’ll drink it all in two days… ?”
The middle book chuckled and shook his head.
And then, he quietly scolded the still immature sergeant.
“The more something is lacking, the more it comes to mind.”
The middle-aged man smiled cruelly with bored eyes.
He said, tapping the gold coin jingling in the pocket of the doctor’s gown.
“Just as I constantly calculate how much money I have left when I don’t have enough money, I find myself constantly thinking about herbs.”
“As expected, it’s Deyan. Your reputation has not gone anywhere while you were at the Samad Strategy Department….”
Middle Book Dejan turned his back as if responding to his subordinate’s respect.
And. He quietly waited for his subordinates to come up the hallway with him.
How much time has passed?
20 Minutes later, four of his men dressed in black suits filled the hallway.
“What about herbs?”
“I brought you the box you mentioned.”
When the Samad people handed over a luxurious silk cloth, Dejan checked the contents.
It was filled with green herbs with a subtle scent.
“Then let’s go in now.”
The middle book smiled and neatly knotted the silk bundle.
Then, he turned his back again and opened the guest room door with his characteristic sharp eyes.
――――――.
“Lord Veil, I brought you something.”
He leisurely passed through the long passage of the room and tried to turn a corner.
However, when he entered the passage, he could no longer smell the terrible smell of Dilma.
“Um… ?”
Furthermore, the nobles who were leaning against the wall, giggling and drinking Dilma wine, were nowhere to be seen.
“I guess everyone fell asleep.”
The doctor reassured him and took the lead around the corner.
But, at that moment.
Doctor Pavan stood tall with a white face.
“What, what’s going on?”
Dejan saw him frozen like a plaster statue and quickly followed him.
The moment he turned the corner and looked into the living room of the guest room.
「You’re here.」
I thought I was going to be drunk and passed out on the sofa, but I still stood up.
「There were a total of 4 people? “There are fewer people than I thought.”
I calmly laid the fallen nobles on the bed.
The ladies and gentlemen spread out on the mattress look like dried fish.
「If you do this, you sent a request for support for no reason. “It’s still a bit awkward between us.”
He pointed towards the open window.
Jeon Seo-gu, who was in the cage, disappeared a long time ago.
「But you guys are amazing too. “There are royal families on the first floor, and they are doing this.”
I sat leisurely on the sofa and crossed my legs.
Afterwards, he asked back proudly, with his arms resting on the cushion.
「Well, it looks like you have some faith in it, right?」
“….”
They swallowed deeply when they saw my pale face without any intoxication.
The doctor who was especially afraid of me had his hands and feet shaking.
“You’re not drunk…” ?”
「I have experienced many things more stimulating than this.」
Strong memories that suddenly come to mind.
The image of a lion wearing a female rabbit’s mask and a wolf’s abundant tail came to mind.
「It was a taste that couldn’t be covered up with such a trivial amount of grass.」
I stood up and wiped off my wine-soaked pants.
And then, he silently rolled up his shirt sleeves and spoke at the same time.
「Sit down and rest comfortably until the knights arrive.」
Numerous knife marks on the forearm muscles catch their eyes.
Plus, there were ax and intestine marks in the unbuttoned shirt.
「Soon, I will rot on the cold prison floor for the rest of my life.」
When they saw the Imperial First Sword of sober mind, they instinctively felt death.
“Is it really necessary to go to this length, Marquis…? ?”
Leaving behind the hectic doctor, Dejan asked calmly.
From noble mtl dot com
He first approached the sofa and tried to make sure I wasn’t drunk at all.
“You liked herbal wine, right? Isn’t that true… ?”
Is it because I saw myself ecstatic eating dilma right in front of my eyes?
The middle book slowly added one more suggestion, as if trying to persuade me.
“Tell me what you want. “If you allow me, I will give you Dilma free of charge for a few months.”
「….」
I stared at his dark eyes shining beneath his thick eyebrows.
Then, just looking at it made me irritated, so I grabbed the fruit that was lying on the table.
Luckily, it was a watermelon.
「How long does it take you to harvest that dilma?」
“Dilmarano, please call me the green herb. If you are asking because of supply and demand, there is no need to worry.”
He thought I was interested and spoke calmly.
“Our herbs are crops that can be harvested within about two weeks once planted. It boasts enormous production volume. “We can airlift as much as you want.”
Indeed, like an executive, he explained Dilma to the best of his ability.
Like a salesperson introducing a product.
“This is a variety that grows well anywhere.”
He kept talking as if he thought I was asking for business.
But.
「I got angry while listening to it.」
His lips stopped at my short words.
“Yes… ?”
「When I grow watermelons, I cultivate them diligently in good quality soil for at least three months….」
I swallowed all the watermelon I was holding.
And then, he just picked up the shell and shook it carelessly like a piece of bone.
「This piece of garbage will spread in two weeks.」
Is it because we are both agricultural and fisheries workers?
At first, I tried to wait until the besiegers arrived, but I got so annoyed that I approached him.
“Marquis… ?”
As I approached the embarrassed middle book, my subordinates reflexively blocked my path.
They seemed not to know me, perhaps because they were from Samad.
“Please don’t come any closer.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the proud appearance of the subordinates.
Then, I slowly counted the numbers on my fingers again.
「Just one person to reveal who is behind it will be enough.」
I focused the golden aura on my arm.
The subordinates suddenly felt mana and immediately tried to touch the hilt of the sword they were wearing at their waist.
That moment.
Wow―――――!!
My fist completely crushed a guy’s face.
The guy’s body was twisted and he flew into the wall with one powerful blow that crushed the bridge of his nose.
Kwaang… !!
The guy who hit the wall hard enough to form a crack didn’t even move.
At that sight, the middle book and the doctor stood up in shock.
“Stop it!!”
They blocked me without even knowing that their opponent was the Empire’s First Sword.
Meanwhile, the remaining two people and one subordinate began to run away quickly.
“Ugh… !!”
Samad’s mercenary attacked me with his curved sword raised.
Then, I lightly twisted my body to avoid its trajectory and hit its chin with my elbow.
“Khaaa!!”
A Samad mercenary who screams with leaky pronunciation due to a broken jaw.
I left them behind and quickly chased after the middle books.
―――――!!
These guys run away quickly, probably because they are knights.
When he reached the end of the hallway, he broke the window and jumped from the third floor.
I followed them and threw myself out of the building.
Meanwhile, the guys started heading into the dark garden they were familiar with.
“It looks like you’re familiar with the darkness, right?”
I instinctively followed the mana of those guys that I could feel were proud.
When he found one of his subordinates, he gave up running and raised his dual swords.
“Huh!!”
It was swung like a dance with a short, sharp sword.
A bizarre trajectory curved and was aimed at my neck.
But, that was just the extent of it.
Ignoring the needlessly fancy sword, I just punched him and crushed his face.
After that, he hit his knee with his heel.
“Ugh…… !!”
I hit the guy in the face with my foot because he didn’t know whether to cover his face or his knees.
Thanks to this, he could no longer complain of pain.
―――.
In the meantime, they opened the manhole cover deep in the garden.
And then, they began to hide in the underground waterway.
I stared at the manhole they had entered.
Then I smiled and sat down in front of him.
As if they knew they would eventually come back here.
「You sure they won’t kill him and bring him back?」
I yawned and sat on the back of the fainted subordinate.
And then, I waited silently, thinking of a woman who worked closest to Rubintsk.
「――――――」
“Huh…. Omg…… !!”
The doctor was panting like crazy, as if his stamina had dropped.
Then, Dejan spoke in an annoyed voice.
“Damn, I ended up getting caught by a guy like that… !!”
The middle book crossed the dark waterway with quick movements.
The speed was so fast that you could hear the sound of cutting through the air.
Just like that, the two barely reached the end of the canal.
Afterwards, climb the ladder and open the manhole cover connected to the hideout.
“Whoa…” .”
They could finally smell the fresh air.
“Still, it seems like even a grandmaster isn’t that fast….”
“Don’t let your guard down. “Because you never know when they might come after you.”
Is it because I breathe the clean air?
They slowly came up to the ground with voices of a little relief.
But.
The momentary relief they felt soon turned into despair.
“You’re using old tricks.”
I thought they were more familiar with dark shadows than anyone else.
“That’s right. “There are engineers who still use waterways these days.”
A woman and her men wearing uniforms even darker than theirs were waiting for them.
“What should we do, Director Lin?”
“Anyway, I have received a favor from Lord Bale, so of course I have to pay for it.”
A woman with one eye covered with a white bandage under her black hair.
The remaining black eyes looked down at Dejan and Pavan with a bloodless gaze.
“Huh…… !!”
The doctor, penetrated by those eyes of hers, froze as if her heart had stopped.
This time, the middle book was the same.
He, who had experienced all kinds of hardships before birth, was left speechless by the appearance of the knights closest to death.
“I told you not to kill me, right?”
