Episode 95 – If people care.
95. If people care about you.
Through a strong argument, Leon received confirmation from Glem that he could melt the Heavenly Sword. He even wrote several memorandums.
Glem, whose cheeks had become gray in a short period of time, sighed and said this.
“The alloy used in the Cheonsaegeom is amazing. “You can look forward to the results.”
After that, the two had an in-depth discussion about Leon’s sword for four hours.
Glem meticulously checked Leon’s sword techniques, style, tactics, and habits. It was to make a sword that was perfect for Leon.
Only after roughly going through that process was Leon able to come out. It was late afternoon when the sun began to sink to the ground.
“I feel empty.”
Leon whetted his appetite as he looked at the empty waist. Instead of feeling relieved because the sword he used to sleep with was gone, he felt empty and uneasy.
Instead, Leon walked out of Yajang-dong, fiddling with the dagger set he had received from Glem.
It was a little later that I saw a familiar face.
“Brother?”
“Oh, wow.”
Lehman approached her, waving her hand as if he was happy to see her.
“What are you doing here?”
“I left it to you to repair the armor.”
Come to think of it, Lehman was not wearing the antique armor set.
Leon’s expression darkened.
“Oh, I shouldn’t tell you this, but do you come to Halito’s blacksmith shop to have it repaired? Why don’t you just buy a new one?”
Lehman chuckled.
“Even though the armor looks shabby on the outside, it is actually a top-of-the-line magic weapon that was given as a gift. In fact, it can only be repaired at Halito’s Blacksmith Shop.”
“Oh, is that so?”
This is a fact that Leon was completely unaware of. I thought it was just a lump of scrap metal. It seems like he had a reason why he went around dressed up like that.
‘Then how rough did you go to use such high-quality magic weapon in tatters?’
Leon clicked his tongue and said.
“Let’s go get some food.”
“So then.”

The next day.
“Hey, is it hard to see your face? “Where are you always so busy wandering around?”
Esabel came next to Leon, who was on his way to the training ground with his eyes peeled from early in the morning.
Leon spoke harshly to her without even looking at her.
“Let’s spar?”
Essa Bell tied her hair tightly and nodded her head.
On the way to the training center.
Esabel asked quickly.
“I heard you had an accident?”
Leon thought for a moment about the amount of the settlement. His mouth was torn apart.
“You hit the jackpot?”
“Stop beating up people. “Did you learn martial arts for that?”
“This time, I held back a lot and then gave up. And isn’t martial arts made to be good at beating people and killing people?”
“······.”
Esabel glanced at Leon, who was replying harshly. After licking her lips for a moment, she continued her words.
“Count Wendell is a resourceful nobleman who currently serves as vice-chairman of the House of Lords.”
The House of Nobles here was not a constituency that formed a parliament, but was closer to an interest group formed by central nobles and an organization to strengthen theocracy.
“There is a reason why Count Wendell rose to that position. “Rather than his political skills, he is a person who is more adept at dealing with his political opponents quietly.”
“Hmm.”
“There are rumors that he has collusion with a large group of assassins and warlocks in the back world.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Oh.”
“You cannot take the center too lightly. To be honest, there is a limit to the power that even Duke Locke can exert from the center.”
“Hmm.”
“Hey!!!”
Esabel suddenly screamed. Nearby birds were startled by her shout and flew away.
Leon looked slightly surprised.
“Why are you doing this?”
“If someone is worried, at least pretend to listen properly!”
“Are you worried…?”
Leon looked back at Esabel again.
“······.”
In those eyes, ‘Are you worried? The meaning ‘you?’ Was clearly included.
Essabel, in tears, slammed her fist into Leon’s side.
Of course, Leon was not a soft man, so she lightly twisted her waist to avoid him.
“This…!”
Essabel, whose temper got even more intense, fired three consecutive strikes.
Whoosh! Pop! Widely!
“hahahaha, no. “I don’t practice martial arts too carelessly.”
The Great Emperor’s Sword, True Justice.
One sword can hold even Mount Tai.
“Wait a minute, I don’t have a sword yet… “What the f*ck!”
In the end, Leon had to face the Emperor Sword with two daggers.

Island, District 4.
Viscount Tulen’s new model crossed the quiet night streets.
Nod.
The teeth were ground out in his mouth.
‘Damn you…’
Today during the day. His son, Gien, awoke from a coma.
The whole story he heard from his awakened son was enough to make Tullen lose his senses.
‘What? You said you were drugged and did not answer questions? ‘A trivial lie…!’
As he got angry and shouted last time, Leon’s statement was wrong.
It is true that he drew a sword in an argument, but it is said that he never did drugs or wielded a sword.
‘That’s right!’
It was just as Tulln expected.
He admits that Kien’s usual behavior was not good, but he was not so stupid that he couldn’t choose the right time and place.
Tulen also shared this fact with the nobles who came with him.
‘But what?’
And Count Wendell replied with sunken eyes:
– Be careful.
With those words, he left. No explanation was added. Because of that, the atmosphere was ruined and the remaining nobles left as well.
‘Hold on? ‘Can you tolerate this?’
Tulen’s fiery personality boiled over.
I wouldn’t know if it was only my son who got hit.
Leon was talking nonsense about it being a settlement money and the property he had stolen was driving him crazy. I didn’t even want to guess how much damage I had incurred this time.
‘If this goes on, I won’t be able to sleep.’
So he acted. He has always had the temperament to go to any lengths when angry.
Jeobbuk-.
After walking down a deserted street, he arrived at a quaint, moderately luxurious tavern.
“You wait here.”
He gave instructions to his escort and servant and then went inside alone.
“Welcome. “What can I get you?”
The employee who was wiping the table greeted him.
“Give me a glass of 25-year-old Pombert.”
“······.”
A small spark appeared in the employee’s eyes.
“What should I prepare for snacks?”
“I think grilled cheese and half a biscuit would be good.”
“Please come this way.”
Turn moved following the staff’s guidance.
They passed between the tables and headed into a small hallway at the back.
After passing through four doors, I entered the fifth private room.
The room was 4 pyeong in size and was filled with a mahogany wood table and chairs.
Dalgak- clatter- clatter!
When the employee closed the door, there was a sound of a complicated device turning on the door handle. Several layers of locking mechanisms were automatically activated.
After confirming that the door was locked, the employee placed a palm-sized circular plate on the table.
Wow!
When he placed his hand on it, a faint wave of magical energy shot out in a circle and swept the entire secret room.
Blue, red, purple, grayish white… The wavelength changed colors every few seconds and carefully scanned the interior.
After about a minute, the employee took the plate away.
“It’s done. No problem. “Let’s move.”
The next moment, the floor under the table slid away, revealing a staircase leading to the basement.
“You’re meticulous.”
“hahahaha. “Security is life.”
After exchanging words one by one, they went down.
As we walked up the narrow stairs in a row, a steel door with a transparent curtain appeared.
A harsh voice came from beyond the door.
– Archipelago. Coin.
“Blank. Candlelight.”
Clap!
The door opened without delay in response to the employee’s frank response. Secret words were exchanged.
The interior was very spacious and comfortable even though it was deep underground. Other than the fact that there were no windows, it was no different from a neat living room.
“Then let’s talk.”
The staff member who guided Tuiln bowed his head and walked away. With a bang, the steel door closed tightly.
Soon.
“Viscount, please sit down.”
A man wearing a pitch black hooded robe and a mask said as he passed right next to Tulen.
His shoulders trembled. Obviously, there was no one there until just now. I had no idea where it had appeared.
Tulen sat down and spoke without showing any expression.
“I came to make a request.”
“······.”
Tuk, thuk. The masked man tapped his thigh twice with his index finger, as if trying to think of something.
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
“The amount in black will be large.”
“You haven’t even told us who the target is yet, have we?”
“Aren’t you the three princes of the Crucif family?”
“······.”
Turn’s cheeks twitched. Although they controlled the information in their own way, everyone who knew what happened last time knew about it.
“······That’s true, but it’s not black. “I was thinking of requesting red.”
“Hmm.”
The masked person’s waist was slightly tilted forward. It was an attitude of listening.
Turn spat out as if chewing.
“That damn leg! “I think I’ll feel better if I make his leg as crippled as my son’s!”
He growled in anger.
“······.”
In the corner of the room, a pair of red eyes were watching quietly.
