098 – Morgoth (3)
Morgotte’s torn police uniform and limp feet were too good to draw attention to.
If you go on like this, you will be caught by the Paladins in less than 10 minutes.
In fact, people were talking about whether they should help Morgoth.
‘I want to live.’
Life’s longings make you do things you’ve never done in your life.
Morgoth reflexively knew what to do.
But it was something that required determination.
I am determined to throw my lifelong authority and honor as a prince on the floor.
‘From the time I decided to asylum, I decided to give up on the life of a prince.’
Morgoth entered a nearby stable.
The stable floor was full of horse dung and filth.
After taking a deep breath, Morgotte rolled on the floor until the police uniform was completely covered with poop and dirt.
“Gee… what are you doing now…….”
The stable keeper looked at Morgot rolling the dung field with a bewildered look.
Either way, Morgoth did what he had to do.
Morgoth also removed the gold buttons and gold bands from the police uniform.
He ripped off his ragged pants and turned them into ragged shorts, and removed a wig and mustache that didn’t suit them.
Instead, he painted his face and hair with poop.
So that no one thinks he is Morgoth.
“Oops!”
When I got the dirt on my face, I almost felt nauseated, but Morgotte resisted it.
The smell was worse than I expected, and I almost felt nauseated.
The stable keeper couldn’t even touch Morgot, who paints his face like a madman.
‘Cause I don’t really touch crazy people.
After finishing his work, Morgoth limped and stood up.
“I’m sorry.”
Morgoth said one word and left the stable.
The stable keeper stared blankly at Morgot, who left without saying anything.
The effect of Morgotte’s travels was great.
People reflexively furrowed their eyebrows when they saw Morgot.
He was looking at me as a dirty beggar that I shouldn’t be dealing with, not a being who should help.
No, he wasn’t looking at him like a beggar, he was actually a morgot.
There was no common fairy tale in his pocket, and he looked like a beggar.
Even a paladin in plain clothes passed by without recognizing Morgoth.
They didn’t even think that Morgoth would do this.
‘done. Now it’s done.’
I felt freedom for the first time amidst the stench that stung my nose, damp clothes, and hateful gazes.
Do you feel like you have just started a new life?
Morgoth burst out laughing without knowing it.
Morgoth, like the beggars of the neighborhood, seeped into the darkness.
The beggars were alerted for a moment when Morgoth approached them, but when they realized that the stench from him was the same as theirs, they repositioned themselves and lay down again.
Morgoth learned something new.
The stench frowns on the eyebrows of ordinary citizens, but gives relief to the same beggars.
Of course, their cold indifference also relieved Morgoth.
Morgoth limped and lay on the farthest side.
My legs hurt, the floor was hard, and the moisture was rising, but it was more comfortable than any soft bed.
Morgoth lay curled up like a bean worm.
If I slept like this, I thought I would be able to sleep all night until tomorrow morning.
Morgoth decided not to think about the future.
I just wanted to fall asleep like this.
How much time has passed?
Two men entered the alleyway.
Morgot, like the other beggars, slowly opened his eyes with a vigilant look.
It wasn’t a paladin.
They were cops with batons.
“Bounce!”
When the beggars saw the police, they ran away like cockroaches.
Morgoth looked at the police in bewilderment.
“what are you doing. Aren’t you waking up?”
“Yes?”
Morgoth did not know what the police of the Empire of Lucet would do to him.
No, to be precise, they had no idea what their club would do to Morgoth.
The police struck Morgoth’s bountiful back with their clubs.
puck-!
“100 million!”
Morgoth shuddered at the heaviest pain he had been experiencing in a very long time.
The assassins had been attacking him, but no one thought of killing Morgoth by hitting him with a club.
Don’t think of poisoning your food or stabbing you with a dagger.
So, I had never experienced an experience of being hit by someone without mercy, except when fighting with knights.
“stop······! stop! Please stop!”
“Just by looking at this bastard, it must have been a guy who rolled up his business somewhere. So it’s freezing like this.”
The police slapped Morgotte in the back again.
puck!
The club dug into Morgot’s bountiful flesh.
“100 million!”
“At first glance, it looks like there is no ID… I don’t know where the bones rolled in, but don’t you know that begging is prohibited in Middletown? You don’t live here, it’s Gray Town.”
As the police tried to swing the club again at Morgoth, Morgoth reflexively jumped up.
“Sorry, sorry! I had no idea!”
The police nodded with satisfaction as they looked at Morgot’s shrugged shoulders and lowered eyes.
“Okay, now you know what to do? Follow me when I say good things.”
“Yes. Yes. All right.”
Relentless violence tames hounds that even hunt orcs.
As a three-star knight, Morgoth could beat the cops if he wanted to, but he shook his head in fear that he might be caught by the paladins if he made a fuss and just followed the police.
Morgoth continued to scan his surroundings.
Could it be that the paladins recognize themselves?
If I had been lying in that narrow alley, I think I would have been safe until the next morning.
Morgotte continued to look around in an uneasy feeling.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Do you think you will get an ass from the debtors?”
Morgoth’s head went numb at the police’s thick joke.
I don’t know if the police of the Lucet Empire are weird, or if all the police are like that, or whether these jokes are the norm for commoners, but their verbal violence made Morgot’s mind confused.
When Morgot said nothing, the police giggled amongst themselves.
“don’t worry. When the debtors see you, they feel pity for you, and they won’t even touch you.”
“By the way, what did you do to get so screwed up?”
Morgoth thought for a moment.
What kind of lie can I tell?
Morgotte snorted and opened her mouth carefully.
“I was just doing a small trade with the Gillion Kingdom…”
The cops clicked their tongues.
“Ttt. Doesn’t it look like the guys from Gillion Kingdom didn’t pay for it this time? i thought i would Those rotten bastards.”
“·················ogue.”
do they really know?
The fact that the person they are leading now is not just a member of the Gillion Kingdom, but the Prince of the Gillion Kingdom.
Morgot was stabbed and kept her mouth shut.
A police officer walking next to me thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Then why didn’t you pay the price?”
“Ask me what are you doing? All freight trains to the Kingdom of Gillion recently stopped at the Marquis of Baros, right?”
“uh? why?”
“I heard that the officials in charge of customs took bribes and carried the beasts into the cargo hold.”
“really? They’re very killer. But why the deal to gather the beast people?”
The police looked around and spoke softly.
“I heard that the second prince, Morgoth, is there, right? They say that he is a bather in the blood of beasts.”
Morgoth shrugged.
‘·······I am such a person?’
Morgoth had no idea what rumors had been circulating about him within the Lucet Empire, so he pricked his ears and listened to the police.
“What? You say that’s a rumor?”
“okay? Did you say that in the Meritz newspaper?”
“Yeah, this guy. The Meritz newspapers are famous for their slaps. And what are you going to use it for by bathing in beast blood?”
“is it? So, which newspaper do you read?”
“I read the daily newspaper. There they say that Morgoth eats the flesh of beasts after roasting? Isn’t this more credible?”
“Oh, come to think of it, I heard that Morgort gained a lot of weight, so that must be the reason.”
‘Neither!’
Morgotte wanted to defend herself, but she couldn’t help herself.
So I felt like I was going crazy and jumping.
The police looked at Morgoth.
“Oh, come to think of it, you said that you traded with the Gillion Kingdom. Which one is real?”
“Or both, one?”
Morgoth opened her mouth cautiously.
“Uh… I’ve never heard of them eating beasts or bathing in blood.”
The police looked at Morgoth with a pitiful expression.
“Oh my, this man. Do you still believe in the Gillion Kingdom even after being like that? From my point of view, it is clear that they eat beasts. savage bastards.”
You believe more in the words of reporters who write provocative articles to earn advertising money than Morgotte, who tells the truth.
Morgotte didn’t think any excuses would turn the cops out of the way.
Morgot just decided to keep her mouth shut.
“Did you hear that anyway? Did you know that Morgoth ran away from the Celtic Hotel?”
Morgoth pricked up his ears as his story flowed.
“okay? Why haven’t I heard of it?”
“I also happened to hear this while on a patrol shift, and they said that the Golden Knights were looking for it. The police have ordered from above not to move.”
“Why? Isn’t it the first priority to find Morgoth?”
“Is there any way to know? It’s just that you say so.”
“I wish I could have met you. If you catch me, I’d definitely give you a bounty vacation or a bounty.”
“By the way, do you know the face of Morgot?”
“Do you not know?”
“what the. I don’t even know his face, but I can’t catch him.”
The police officers who captured Morgoth and said they would catch Morgotte were so ridiculous that Morgoth burst into laughter.
After all, it was too strange to think that the beggar he was dragging was Morgoth.
Who would dare to imagine that a prince would paint his face and clothes with shit?
As I walked while listening to the police chatter, I could see the Lucet River.
On the Rainbow Bridge that crosses the Lucet River, street lamps spit out a murky light.
Now just cross that river and it’s Gray Town.
Gray Town is familiar with Morgoth.
A home for beggars and a place overflowing with all kinds of garbage.
If you hide in a place like that, there will be a higher chance that the Golden Knights or Inquisitors will find you than the Paladins.
Gray Town is full of gangs and beggars, so no one can go in or out.
Of course, the Golden Knights will have to suffer quite a bit until they find themselves, but Morgoth could endure as much as he could for his freedom.
However, the idea was not only Morgoth, the Paladins in plain clothes were wandering around the Rainbow Bridge.
The police didn’t seem to notice, but they knew their faces very well as they had been monitoring Morgoth for over a fortnight.
Morgoth bowed her head.
The chance of recognizing this appearance is very low, but it is absolutely forbidden to make a sloppy swell.
Morgotte and the police arrived at the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge.
Contrary to Mogotte’s wish to cross the Rainbow Bridge quickly, the police greeted the guards warmly.
“Hector, are you at work today?”
“What is that? Did you catch one anyway?”
“I got it from the Middletown side. He was looking at me with a blank slate unlike the others.”
Cops and guards even leisurely began to burn the pipes.
Morgotte’s heart began to beat.
It was full of paladins around him, and the paladins began to take an interest in the fat Morgotte.
“Looking at her belly a little, it looks like she has failed in business and has collapsed.”
“I heard that it went bankrupt while trading with the Kingdom of Gillion?”
“The Kingdom of Gillion has blown away the cherished businessman Nari Mogaji. Ttt.”
The paladins started walking slowly.
‘Please don’t come. Please don’t come.’
Contrary to Morgot’s plea, the Paladins stood before the police and guards.
The police and guards furrowed their eyebrows towards the paladins.
“What are you guys?”
As the police shot the men with a grim expression, one of the paladins took out a passport from his arms.
“My name is Scott, a paladin who serves Goddess Lux and a knight of the White Lion Knights of Gillion Kingdom.”
At the word of the paladin, the faces of the police changed coldly.
“Ah, you handsome paladin yangbans. But for what reason did you come?”
“I came here just to see if I could see this person’s face.”
Scott’s fingertips turned to Morgotte.
The police laughed.
“Oh, I heard. The prince of Gillion Kingdom ran away?”
“… he didn’t run away, he went out for a while and then disappeared.”
“Well, let’s say so. But does the prince of the Gillion Kingdom have a habit of bathing in feces?”
“It’s not that, but I’ll check your face just once.”
“No. just do it Your mouth is full of shit. I think you guys eat shit with their mouths and drink urine instead of water?”
Morgotte clenched his fists in a moment of exhilarating pleasure.
The harsh words of the police did not discriminate between knights and commoners.
At first I was angry at the rude tone of this policeman, but now I can’t thank you so much.
“······· Just ask for your cooperation.”
The policeman stood crookedly in front of Scott with a baton.
The police then blew pipe smoke onto Scott’s face.
“Hey. They seem to think that this is the kingdom of Gillion, but this is the kingdom of Lucet. It is also the capital of the Empire, Victoria. You guys don’t have the right to investigate the people of the Empire recklessly. Now, do you know that this is an act of extortion?”
Did you know that the ruthless police officer who struck down with a club without saying a word could say such a coherent thing?
In response to the police’s tough response, Scott repeated the same thing like a parrot.
“Can’t we just check the face?”
The police punched Scott in the chest.
“I told you. This is an obvious overreach. If they do, formal procedures will be followed and investigations will be conducted.”
The wiggling of Scott’s fingers seemed to want to hit the cop’s neck right away.
However, as the police say, this is the Lucet Empire.
It is a place where the paladins cannot move freely.
Scott took a deep breath.
“Don’t you know that this is to avoid creating unpleasant things between the Kingdom of Gillion and the Kingdom of Lucet? It will take a while, so please cooperate with the investigation.”
“discomfort? You guys did the unpleasant things first. climbers. What are those who sent criminals disguised as paladins and priests of the Lucet Empire talking now?”
The police cut off the head.
“Do you know how many soldiers were hit with eggs and stones at you guys today? And how many police officers were injured trying to put the angry citizens to sleep? If I were you guys, I wouldn’t be able to carry my face because I’d be shy, wouldn’t it?”
The police shoved Scott in the chest with a club.
“So, one last warning. go away. If it doesn’t go off, I’ll show you what the prison of the Lucet Empire looks like by obstructing the execution of official duties.”
Scott clenched his fists.
I’ve never heard of an insult more severe than this.
Scott looked at Morgoth, the guards’ bodies.
He is the person who most resembles Morgoth among the people we have investigated so far.
It’s rare to find someone who’s tall and fat.
However, there was an order from the Foreign Minister Michael to avoid conflicts with the police as much as possible.
If I went on like this, I felt like my fists were going to come and go.
‘······ I must step back.’
If there is no certainty that this man is Mogotra, but he fights with the police for nothing, it could cause a major setback in the affairs of the Gilion Kingdom.
Tomorrow, Minister of Foreign Affairs Michael said that he would come to the Lucet Empire to officially obtain investigation rights, so I decided to wait until then.

Just as he was about to turn, something caught Scott’s eye.It was hard to see because of the dirt, but there was a very familiar scar.
‘That one?’
It was very similar to the scar on Morgotte’s neck.
“what are you doing. It doesn’t turn off.”
“Let me check your face.”
A vein stood on the nape of the policeman.
“I think I’ve been warned enough. I will feed you soybean rice.”
The police took the crystal ball out of the pouch.
Even the police didn’t think they could win against the Paladins.
However, if you gather the guards and police around you, it will not be difficult to tie them up.
But Scott snatched the police crystal ball and took it away.
“What are you doing now?”
“If there is any diplomatic disrespect, I will fully tolerate it. But this is a very big problem for the Kingdom of Gillion.”
“What is this bastard talking about now!”
“So, I would like to apologize in advance. The sins committed today will be paid for by Goddess Lux later.”
“You bastard… Aww!”
After breaking the policeman’s arm, Scott tied his arm with the handcuffs he was wearing around the police’s waist.
It was so quick that I couldn’t even resist properly.
“Do you know what you guys are doing right now?! You are intimidating the police of the Lucet Empire!”
Despite the police’s words, Scott didn’t care and gave orders to the other paladins.
“I take responsibility. Come on, check his face!”
“These bastards!”
Police and guards rushed at the paladins with clubs and spears.
However, the paladins are all two-star to three-star knights.
It was very easy to subdue ordinary police officers and guards without rings.
The paladins took the guards’ spears in an instant and threw them to the ground and tossed them on the floor.
The guards and police were all subdued in just 3 seconds.
Morgoth made a quick decision.
“Ahhh!”
Morgot ran the Rainbow Bridge recklessly.
My leg hurt a lot, but I didn’t care and ran like crazy, turning the ring to the auror.
But Scott rushed in and took Morgoth down.
“I’ll just check your face.”
Having beaten the police, there was already no turning back for Scott.
So this man had to be Morgoth.
Scott tried to wipe the dirt off Morgotte’s face with the glove.
At that moment, something heavy flew and stuck in Scott’s side.
Wow-!
“Uh-huh!”
Scott bounced off the Rainbow Bridge and flew straight into the Lucet River.
Morgoth looked up to see what the situation was.
“Are you okay?”
It was a voice I had heard somewhere. It was Charlotte.
“No… why…”
“Think about that later and get out of here.”
Charlotte grabbed Morgotte’s filthy hands without hesitation and lifted him up.
“Can you walk?”
“········Oh, yes. Available.”
At the entrance of the bridge, Linia and Irene were dealing with the Paladins, but they struggled because there were quite a few pages.
“Wait for a moment. I will deal with them first.”
Morgotte stared blankly at Charlotte, who disappeared behind the bright lights.
