64 – Dalai (1)
Dalai is a fictional being that has been passed down as a legend in the southern part of the continent.
Dalai are generally in human form, but crucially they have no mouth, no ears, and no eyes.
Therefore, they do not communicate or compromise with other beings.
Demons who act purely according to their own desires and will.
Arien is located in the middle of the continent far from the south.
It was because of a southerner that the legendary demon named Dalea became known in the backstreets and filth streets deep in Arien.
With the southern copper skin, she was a member of the one-eyed snake, a criminal organization that ruled the streets of the filth.
One day, she betrayed the Snow Snake and took control of the organization.
In the process, he purged all without exception those who interfered with him or had the potential to interfere with him in the future.
And those who oppose it were also purged without exception.
When the bloody purge is over.
The southern woman, Lauen, was called Dalea.
The new ruler of the filth street.
Rumors of the ruthless southerner quickly spread across the filth streets and across the underworld.
Soon, Dalai became a name shunned and feared even by the heinous criminals of the underworld.
Even city aristocrats who did business with Dalai were overwhelmed by her notoriety when standing in front of her.
The Dalai were objects of fear and awe.
Even the city nobility deserved to pay her respect.
She, too, took it for granted and showed off her prestige.
“… What is a noble person doing in a shabby place?”
Such a Dalai child.
I was restless while looking at a man’s eyes.
How would those who used to be in awe of her react when they see Dalaai now?
You will probably be disappointed, but in the end you will have to accept it.
“Almighty… ”
Even so, that opponent was omnipotent.
Dalai and city councilors were rulers over others in name and reality.
It is extremely exceptional that they bow their heads.
Now, that very exceptional case.
A true ruler who reigns over all rulers, a great family.
As the eldest son of the great family, Ledar Libringer is mentioned as the most likely successor to the Libringer family.
He was sitting across from Lauren in the VIP room at Dala’ai Hideout.
If Ledar Libringer wishes, the owner of this tiny backstreet will simply change from his point of view.
He has the power to do so.
If there was something he lacked, it was justification.
But now, Ledar was saying that he had been given that cause.
“To think that our children touched an acquaintance of yours… What the hell are you talking about?”
Ledar looked at Lauen with those clear four hundred eyes.
“… ”
Lauren was always on the side of overpowering her opponents.
No heinous criminal, no noble aristocrat, stood in front of her and was overwhelmed by her spirit.
Then Lauren awkwardly avoids Ledar’s gaze and straightens her posture.
“The last time I came, I met Doan here.”
Ledar brought up an irrelevant story that did not mesh with Lauen’s words.
Even for Lauen, it was a sensitive story.
“He wasn’t a bad person. To the point where I feel that if someone has to manage the back alleys that are openly neglected in Arien, that person is the right person to manage them.”
Now, his words were no different than blaming Lauen, the head of Dalai, who killed Doan and took over the hideout of the Snow Snake.
say it again
Originally, Lauen would have said that after cutting off the other person’s tongue.
“It’s a common occurrence in back alleys where people like us are living at the bottom.”
But now Lauen was just trying to change the subject.
“It’s a common thing… so is it common for my people in District 2 to be attacked by back alley criminal gangs?”
Ledar finally got to the point.
District 2.
Perhaps it refers to the Dalaai workplace that dominated the outskirts of District 2.
‘These fools attacked people there?’
A criminal organization from the underworld attacked citizens in the sunny world, not even in a back alley.
It was a serious matter that even the lawmakers who secretly looked after Dalaai in the parliament could not use their strength.
so that.
Normally, Lauren would prevent that from happening-
I was very careful not to get caught.
Lauen left no material evidence to prove that the criminal group that took control of the outskirts of District 2 belonged to Dalai.
In addition, measures were taken to prevent members of the organization active there from ever making comments about Dalaai.
black magic.
Borrowing the power of black magicians active in the underworld, they put restrictions on them with black magic.
It was the curse of a black magician at the level of six stars.
The moment they try to speak out about Dalai, they will bite their tongues and commit suicide.
Lauen was proud.
Not because he is innocent, but because he believes in it.
“First of all, I express my deepest regret for the unfortunate incident that happened to an acquaintance of Sir Ledar. However-“
“Your side, is it a story that has nothing to do with Dalaai?”
“…That’s right. We Dalai thoroughly respect Arien’s laws and regulations. We do not dare to venture out of these back alleys and into the sunny world. The gangsters who attacked Lord Ledar’s acquaintances are not members of our organization. “
“It’s interesting. The criminals who took control of the outskirts of District 2 adjacent to Filth Street and committed all sorts of crimes are not the criminals of Filth Street? If so, what the heck are they?”
“As Lady Ledar already knows, there are many possibilities. Right now, with all the other underworld crime syndicates antagonizing us, there’s good reason to do it.”
Lauen, who had assumed this situation several times, calmly lied.
Ledar stared blankly at her with his four hundred eyes.
pounding.
pounding.
I feel like I’m being read inside.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Ledar has no way to prove Dalai’s guilt.
Lauen reminded herself of that over and over again.
‘good.’
She decided to come out strong.
“Have you any other reason to assume that it was we, Dalea, who attacked Sir Ledar’s acquaintances?”
“hmm. First of all, shall we listen to the story of my acquaintance who is the victim? Ceylon?”
something like that?
Lauren almost said that without even realizing it.
Standing behind Ledar, a man with a bewildered look as if he were splitting threads, and an aura that seemed like he would fly away if the wind blew.
Wouldn’t it be the first thing to introduce someone you thought would be Ledar’s servant or servant as an acquaintance?
‘Could it be that he’s taking the idiot who was pickpocketed in Alley 2 and using it as an excuse to put pressure on Dalaai?’
I even thought about it.
That will be too.
It is a relationship in which the omnipotent eye defends in front of others as an acquaintance of oneself.
What if you could have that kind of relationship with Ledar?
Even high-ranking nobles will drool and be willing to sniff anything.
It was the same with Lauen.
Lauend was also willing to pay any price to become Ledar’s ‘acquaintance’.
It was a huge deal to have such a close relationship with Ledar.
It was difficult.
Lauen was willing to do anything to build a close relationship with Ledar, but he wasn’t confident enough to catch Ledar’s eyes.
‘How did that bastard… come to Ledar’s eyes?
Lauen managed to resist asking the stupid man such a question at any moment.
“Hello. I’m Ceylon, who participated in the Academy Entrance Examination this year.”
Ceylon bowed respectfully.
“under.”
Lauren finally couldn’t stand it and snorted, saying that she was full of spirits.
‘Are you even a commoner?’
The stupid looking guy is an uncharacteristically high-ranking aristocrat, so I thought that’s why he was able to have contact with Ledar.
It wasn’t even that.
Besides, in this situation, what about introducing yourself and talking about unnecessary nonsense about participating in the academy entrance exam this time?
‘This guy has a close relationship with Almighty Eye…?’
no.
It’s nonsense.
This guy is definitely that.
He is an actor for a false justification prepared by Ledar to exert influence over Dalaai.
That was the time when Lauren thoroughly denied the relationship between that stupid man and Ledar and tried to dig into that part.
“hahahahaha, how humble is our Ceylon friend? To say he took part in this academy entrance exam. If anyone hears about it, huh? You’d think he was just one of many, many mediocre contestants.”
Lauen doubted his ears.
Didn’t Ledar paint the face of a man named Ceylon with a reproachful attitude?
“Why don’t you say it proudly? I won first place in the 2nd and 3rd exams, so in fact, the head of the swordsmanship department at this academy is a matter of course.”
Ledar, who had painted Ceylon’s face with gilding, looked at Lauen again.
The inorganic face he had when he was staring at himself a while ago turned into a sloppy face that was nowhere to be found.
“My brother’s friend.”
whatever.
Lauren managed to hold back the words that were about to escape her mouth.
