48 – 9-Fight Night
*
When the sun goes down, a dark night descends on the world.
It has been so for thousands of years of human history, and it will be so for thousands of years to come.
Things that do not change even if the world disappears in a fire, that is the rule.
Just like that rule, when the world went dark, the maid came out of Bjorn’s room, the nature of De Jejitz.
The sun has gone down, but it’s early to finish the day.
The head maid had decided where to go with me at this time.
An underground warehouse that stores the treasures of the De Yeevitz family.
There, along with gold and silver treasures, expensive alcohol that is hard to put a price on was managed by the maid at the right temperature.
The head maid headed there for the extravagant enjoyment of the eldest son of the De Yeevitz family.
The head maid descended into the basement, relying on the dim light of one of her candelabra.
How often she came in and out of this place she never twisted her foot.
The maid took her key from her bosom and opened the door.
With a rattle, the metal lock resounded as it hit the key and turned.
The heavy door opened and a huge wine cellar greeted her nanny.
All kinds of beers, wines, brandy, whiskeys, and exotic spirits whose names are unknown.
In the endless wine cellar, I could see the strength of the De Yewitz family.
From noble mtl dot com
The maid crossed the cask and arrived at the glass cabinet that occupied one wall.
The inside of the glass cabinet was full of rare liquors that could not be obtained even with a thousand gold.
The head maid lowered her candlestick to dim the light, in case her wine was spoiled, then lifted her fingers and ran them one by one.
She said that the place where her fingers stopped was a bottle without a label, after a glass cabinet.
As she opened her glass case and carefully took out the bottle, something cold touched her maid’s back.
“If you turn your head, you will die. If you open your mouth, you will die.”
“…….”
Before she knew it, a masked man drew a dagger and pointed it at the back of her maid, Jang.
“According to my instructions, I will spare her life. Put the bottle on the floor and go forward.”
There was no way the maid couldn’t know that those words were a lie.
Still, the head maid slowly set her bottle down on the floor and followed her instructions.
Holding her bottle in her hand, the masked man carefully pulled the cork from her bottle.
The glass bottle and the cork made a clicking sound as they rubbed against each other.
A small glass bottle came out of her man’s inner pocket.
The man uncapped the glass bottle and placed her mouth on the neck of her drink.
The clear liquid slowly seeped into the liquor along the neck of the bottle.
Because the color of the liquor was so dark and the scent so strong, the liquid melted without a trace.
The venom that her man drank was the poison of a basilisk.
Sword expert, more powerful than arsenic, was also an extreme poison that provided comfortable sleep.
If she drinks this poison and goes to sleep, Bjorn will never be able to open her eyes again.
After swirling her liquor a few times to mix her liquids, the man closed the cork again.
Man, Cameron let out a sigh of relief.
She passed the hardship.
Now all you have to do is have her maid Jean cast a curse on her to seize her life and bring it to Bjorn.
As long as she holds her life as collateral, the head maid won’t let her do anything stupid.
Even if things go wrong with the maid’s loyalty, it doesn’t matter.
In preparation for such a situation, six sword experts are waiting near Viern’s room.
Give a signal and they will come and slaughter Bjorn.
But he didn’t want the situation to go that far.
Looking back, everything went wrong from the point Bjorn said he would take the entrance exam.
The kid, who was always intimidated by Eileen’s annoyance, suddenly changed as if he had become a different person, opened Jin’s seal, injured Quarhanim, and led the situation using Yakhok.
It was a good direction for the Haenrel family in the end, but Cameron was very embarrassed that there was no ulterior motive even though he was poisoned with alcohol.
‘Well, there’s nothing you can do now that you’ve come this far.’
Like a sharp blade aimed at her maid, Viern will face her death unmoving.
Cameron had no doubt that the First God was watching over him.
Until her head maid suddenly threw her body aside.
At that moment, sword spirit flew along with the sound of wedges.
Cameron hurriedly twisted her body to avoid the sword.
The bottle exploded as sword spirits were embedded in the glass cabinet.
The person who threw the sword was reflected in the fragments.
Cameron saw.
The sight of Count Yakhok, whom he would never run into in the warehouse, wielding his sword against him.
“It would have been easier for both of us if they had just killed each other. After all, it’s not that easy to solve a sword expert.”
That’s not all.
A person hiding on the side where the head maid blew her body appeared.
As soon as Cameron saw that face, she knew things were tight.
Bjorn de Yewitz, the target of assassination appeared openly.
“Look. It’s supposed to come to the warehouse after all. I don’t know what I’m going to drink, but what will I do? I can’t get poisoned with all the alcohol here. But I’m afraid I might have eyes to use my hands in the middle. “
“Okay, you won the bet, but I’m taking a broader view. I needed to be prepared for other possibilities. Lord Cutter will understand what I mean.”
“I don’t have anything else to say except to tell you both to focus on the enemy. You know, this is going to be real from now on.”
As Amber said, Cameron threw away the unfamiliar dagger and drew his sword.

To start with the conclusion, it has been a long time since Jin has been lucky.
[Danjeon expansion was only half successful. I may have succeeded in attaining the size of a higher class, but if I use mana all at once to protect my body by creating my own body, the short war won’t last.]
It may be possible to summon a false body without burning to death.
However, Jin said that he did not know what would happen after that and decided that he could not use it.
I grew my dantian to protect myself, but this time my dantian got weaker.
Is luck just luck?
Yes, you can’t achieve the upper class in less than half a year.
Let’s be satisfied with the fact that we were able to shorten the time.
The size itself has been increased, so from now on, all I have to do is wait for Danjeon to stabilize and the body to support me.
It doesn’t make much of a difference that it doesn’t help right away.
Cameron took off his mask as if he didn’t need it anymore, pointed his sword at me, and threw a few words.
“There’s no way they could be discovered, but they got caught… There must have been some information we missed. It’s a saint. Since a saint can detect the person who signed the contract. Then the search for the Demon Cult must be over.”
“Oh, you’re quick-witted?”
“One strange thing is that I couldn’t find anyone around you who matched the rumors. It’s amazing, even if you wore a disguise, you couldn’t hide it at all.”
Don’t dig any further than that.
Because the dark truth is hiding.
Shouldn’t we protect the saint’s privacy?
“The reason why the yakhok hastened the issue of succession is to turn our attention to that side and expand our range of maneuver. Our church, which has settled in Stemwind by now, must be in ruins. Indeed, the Count deserves attention. “
“Your brain works pretty well? Would you like to work for me?”
I’m not going to accept it.
I smirked and pointed the blade at him.
“Then, you must have figured out that you are a rat in a poison with your smart brain? Surrender. If you repent and confess your sins, I will spare your life.”
Every single drink in this warehouse is very expensive, and it’s hard to find now.
If you mess around here, you won’t be able to drink that drink.
There is a saying that treats alcohol like blood.
I can’t remember who said it.
However, Cameron rather calmly said that he would break through this situation.
“My appearance must be funny. Needless to say, I was beaten by you. But if I kill you here and find the saint, it’s enough to make up for my mistake. The assassination target came on its own, so why should I?”
“Bastard, bravado.”
Me, Yakhok, and Amber formed a siege and pressured Cameron while having a nonsensical conversation.
There was no way for him to escape from the narrow basement warehouse.
If I were Cameron, I would bite the weakest link in this siege.
Because that’s the only way to survive.
I’ll rush at Amber, suffocate her, and run away to plan for the future.
I dug a trap there.
The moment Cameron rushes at Amber, all kinds of magic prepared for crime prevention in this underground warehouse will entangle him.
If that’s the case, no matter how much he contracts with the devil, it will be difficult for him to deal with Yakhok and me at the same time.
“It’s great that you’ve driven me this far, but the noose you put around my neck sucks. I wish it had been twisted a little more.”
“What?”
Cameron punched the cask right next to him.
The cask snapped and the wine spilled onto the floor.
He shouted as he watched the yak or the alcohol soaking his feet.
“It’s a chemical!”
“No. Not quite as much as that.”
Anyone would think of a chemical workshop in a narrow basement, a space filled with alcohol.
But Cameron can never use fire.
Because I know I’m with Jin.
You should know very well that if you start a fire here, you will be burned to death.
Then why did you break the keg and wet the floor?
I don’t know what his intentions were, but I don’t intend to let him do it comfortably.
If the strategy fails, the only thing to do is to force it into a hole.
“Count Yakhok!”
Me and Yak Hok charged at Cameron.
