65 – Dalai (2)
“Ha. If it wasn’t for my Ceylon friend, my younger brother would have been the top.”
“Hey, this. I haven’t decided yet because I’m the chief. Aren’t you giving me too much attention? If I’m not the chief, what should I do because I’m shy?”
“Is that so? Anyway, it’s not bad for my younger brother to take the second seat. My younger brother seems to have been stimulated by being pushed by his friend, and it seems that he recently caught fire.”
“Is that so? To say that something like me had a good effect on the amount I gave, I don’t know what to do with this.”
‘What are these guys…?’
Wait until Lauen is taken aback by the sight of the two suddenly casually chatting in this serious atmosphere.
‘…’
Lauen felt that the possibility that that stupid Ceylon might be an actor that Ledar had been preparing to make a cause for was fading.
To say that conversation was acting, it was because the two of them were really natural and innocent.
But still unbelievable-
‘That stupid guy is the head of the academy entrance exam?’
Even Lauen, who was not interested, heard the news about the academy entrance exam.
This year, the genius young lady of the Rebringer family was also participating in the test.
According to the story, the young lady had already achieved a 3-star status with certainty at that young age-
He was a historical genius who was evaluated as having achieved a 4-star level.
That stupid guy defeated such a genius and took the top spot in admissions?
It is unreasonable.
the problem is.
The degree of inadequacy was severe.
If Ledar knew how to think, he would have made it a little more plausible when he was making the setting for the lie.
In the end, Leuen found Ledar’s story too unrealistic, and came to the point of accepting it realistically.
The reason Ledar was interested in that fool.
Because she had a higher grade than her younger sister, the genius young lady of the Rebringer family.
‘Is that how it happened?’
There were still quite a few uncertainties left, but Lauen decided to believe that.
problems that arise.
‘sh*t.’
not an actor
It’s not smoke.
It’s not even a fake cause.
Then, really, the members of his organization who took control of the outskirts of Area 2 are those fools-
Did you raid Ledar’s acquaintance and it was discovered?
This was a crisis.
The first unprecedented crisis she faces since becoming the ruler of District 2 as a Dalai.
Lauen felt heat build up in the back of his head.
‘I have to get over it somehow.’
Lauen fixed his gaze on Ledar’s acquaintance, Ceylon.
It was rather a welcome thing for Lauen that Ledar was a witness here and Ceylon was brought up.
Dealing with that narrow-eyed idiot would certainly be easier than dealing with that wide-eyed omnipotent eye.
“Ceylon-sama, you said you were attacked by criminals in District 2?”
“That’s right.”
“If possible, could you elaborate on the circumstances?”
“I visited the transparent magnifying glass located on the outskirts of District 2 with my acquaintances because I had something to evaluate.”
Lauen was agitated inwardly.
transparent magnifying glass.
It was definitely one of Dalai’s businesses.
“By the way, what’s this! Isn’t it not the appraiser I originally knew, but someone else running the store!? It’s strange. The owner of a store I know, Mr. Clom, says he really likes that store, and has been living in that store for the rest of his life. He said it would be nice if he could work in the company.”
Ceylon looked at Lauen meaningfully.
“… By the way. It’s a big deal.”
Lauen smiled and looked straight at Ceylon.
As if trying to squeeze through those narrow eyes that seemed to be splitting.
“Ike, anyway…!”
Then, at the sight of him immediately avoiding his gaze, Lauen smiled inwardly and was convinced.
Attacking this idiot is going to be the key to solving this problem.
“So I was going to visit another store, but the appraiser stopped me. He would do it cheaply so I could get an appraisal for myself. In the end, I had no choice but to entrust the appraisal to him, and this is why. Wouldn’t you be forcing me to sell it? It’s an important item to me, so I stubbornly refused and left the store. But-“
“While Ceylon-sama was on her way to another store, the shop appraiser attacked Ceylon-sama’s group. Is that what you mean?”
“Yes. That’s right. He came with a bunch of weapons while covering his identity with a robe and threatened us. Give us our stuff.”
under.

Lauen burst into laughter with a laughable face.
“Hey, why are you laughing?”
“Ah, I’m sorry. It’s nothing else, I just want them to have no countermeasures. They’re committing crimes in District 2 just to get a noble.”
“Ah, that’s- actually, the one I entrusted with appraisal seemed pretty good, to say the least.”
The necklace that Ceylon took out of his bosom.
Unknowingly, Lauen took her eyes off the necklace.
“I heard from the appraiser, Goran, that it’s a second-class artifact.”
“…!”
Lauen’s expression changed.
“That means Ceylon was in possession of a level 2 artifact?”
“hahahaha, it happened that way.”
“…”
Lauen stared blankly at the necklace in Ceylon’s hand.
‘Is that a level 2 artifact?’
How could such an idiot have such a treasure?
This, too, was unbelievable.
However, even in Lauen’s eyes, the energy contained in that necklace was obviously unusual.
‘sh*t…’
Lauen instinctively felt it.
That the stupid guy in front of me is telling the truth right now.
Goran really got his eyes on the second-class artifact and attacked his party.
My mind was dizzy.
But there were still holes to get through.
“By any chance, did the criminals who attacked Ceylon have these patterns on their arms?”
Lauen showed the sunflower pattern engraved on his wrist.
“Um… no, there was no such glyph.”
It will.
Lauen had taken all measures to ensure that members active in the area would not be discovered as belonging to Dalai.
“Is that so? By the way, as you can see, our Dalai Crew members have these patterns engraved on their arms.”
Even if it’s true that Goran attacked that fool’s group.
There was no way for him to prove Goran belonged to Dalai.
They are just vaguely guessing that Dalai is involved in a crime case that occurred in the district adjacent to the filth street.
After summarizing the situation, Lauen thought.
Now is the time to push hard.
“To be honest, I’m quite embarrassed. Just because it was a crime that occurred close to our filth street, we were suspicious of our Dalai. Not only that, but you reported this to Ledar and put pressure on us-“
Lauen kept his polite expression, and glared at Ceylon with strong power in his eyes.
“Sir Ceylon. If it turns out that we have nothing to do with this, what do you plan to do then?”
And, very euphemistically, he hinted at the responsibility Ceylon would take if this went wrong.
“Ah, that’s it…”
Then, at the time when Reuen was appreciating his flustered appearance with great satisfaction.
“In fact, the reason they thought they were Daleans wasn’t just because it was a problem in the area close to filth street.”
The man’s demeanor changed.
He had a look of joy on his face.
That’s why he was looking at her with an expression as if he was making fun of Lauen.
“Yeah? What’s that-“
“A person named Reese, the solver, informed me. The fact that the appraiser, Goran, belongs to the Dalai. And, the fact that the entire region is controlled by the Dalai. Everything.”
“…what?”
Lauen’s hair turned white at the sudden mention of the name.
It was very brief.
Lauen realized that Rize was also cursed with a warlock’s curse.
At best, Rize, a magician with a 5-star rating, is not free from that curse.
I can’t comment on Dalaai.
So Ceylon’s words were false.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but…”
Believing that, Lauen let go of his pretense.
“Mr. Rize?”
Ceylon called out to the door.
Immediately the door opens and a woman with red bobbed hair appears.
The colorful piercings in his ears glistened in the light that filled the waiting room.
Ice Fang Rize.
She met Lauen’s eyes and shrugged her shoulders, holding back a sneer.
“That’s it.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Nothing changed.
Lauen made a fuss by recalling the curse of the black magic on Rize.
“Why don’t you know what you’re talking about? Well, then, should I tell you all the things I’ve done with the title of Dalai Solver?”
Finally, Lauen was shocked.
“how…”
Did you break the warlock’s curse?
to him
According to Ceylon’s knowledge, Lise, who was supposed to one day stab Lauen in the back and be reborn as the ruler of the filth street, responded.
“That stuff, I let it go right away. It took a while. And this-“
Rize took out a bundle of papers from her bosom.
“A document that records all the errands you’ve asked me to do.
“…!”
Lauen, a powerful southern warrior on the 6-star level and the leader of the Dalaai who rules the streets of filth, lost his reason.
It was at that time when Lauen pulled out the curved sword hanging from his back and was about to tear the two kites in front of him.
“…!”
It was a white snake.
A white snake the size of a human forearm entwined her arm.
Then he rode up on her body and met her eyes.
Yellowish, sharp golden eyes.
Those pupils came closer and closer, sharp teeth on his neck-
-Shaaagh!
“Huh…!”
dump.
Lauen, who collapsed on the seat, hastily rubbed his neck.
There were no wounds.
However, the touch remained clearer than reality.
“Are you okay?”
Then, Ceylon held out his arm to her.
Lauen tried to hit that arm hard.
“ah…”
However, when she saw Ceylon’s eyes looking down at her, her actions stopped.
The sharp yellow eyes of the white snake just like the one before.
Ceylon looked down at her with the pupils hidden under his eyelids, speaking softly enough for only her to hear.
“I wish you well in the future.”
I wish you well in the future.
Lauen felt immeasurable ominousness in those words.
“Come on! I think we’re done talking.”
Ledar’s voice followed.
“Dale child. Starting this year, my sister is attending the academy and will be staying here for a long time here in Arien. I’m quite interested in Arien’s security. So, I don’t think you Dalle child will do such nonsense in District 2. The guys who looked after me so that I could do it. I need to give me all the data related to them.”
Dalaai have no eyes, no ears, no mouth.
They do not communicate or compromise.
But this time seemed to be an exception.
Deep blue eyes of four hundred eyes.
sharp golden eyes.
Those two pairs of eyes were staring at Dalai.
“…”
Dalaai avoided those eyes and turned her head to the floor without a moment’s hesitation.
Dalaai, a criminal organization that was feared in the underworld, entered the path of downfall.
All of this happened while the academy freshmen were trying to appraise a necklace.

“Then I’ll go to solve this from now on. Ceylon friend.”
Ledar said as he shook the stack of papers in his hand.
“It must be a pretty big and complex problem to solve alone. What are you planning to do?”
Backstreet crime syndicates and city aristocracy collide.
And part of the second district of the criminal organization through the close relationship.
The matter now in Ledar’s hands was a critical matter that would have a tremendous impact on the situation in Arien and the back alleys.
“I have connections in the city council. One of my current councilors is an old friend of mine.”
My friend is a member of parliament.
I burst into laughter at the sight of Ledar making such remarks casually.
“That’s true… Your connections are splendid.”
Then the Redar guy seemed to be thinking about something-
“Only you.”
He looked at me and laughed the same way.
“Anyway, Sir Ledar. Thank you again. I didn’t expect you to help me this time.”
When I asked Ledar to mediate in this matter, I pondered over how to persuade Ledar.
This was a tricky matter, possibly involving the city’s high-ranking nobles, and even members of the city council.
However, Ledar readily agreed without any hesitation.
And now he told me why.
“Because I owe you a great debt.”
Ledar, who said that, had a relieved face, as if he had escaped from a long bondage.
‘Why are you like that.’
I don’t know what it is, but I thought it might be related to the clearing of the achievement.
“And, I didn’t just accept this because it was a request from my friend. This was also related to my sister.”
Ledar said, brandishing the papers in his hand.
“I can’t let my sister spend her youth, the most precious thing in her life, in a place where these bastards install it. Can’t you?”
Ledar calmly says that in order to protect his younger sister’s splendid campus life, he can easily turn over a city in order.
“That’s true…”
As a petit bourgeois, I couldn’t keep up with the scale, so I just laughed bitterly.
“Oh, by the way-“
At that time, Ledar looked at Rize standing next to me as if he remembered something.
“…!”
Then Rize shuddered and looked at Ledar.
Rize was a very exemplary strong and weak weakling.
Since meeting Ledar, there had never been a single swear word coming out of Rize’s mouth.
‘What, what… are you acquainted with Almighty Eye…!?’
Rize’s astonished expression when I met Ledar is still vivid in my eyes.
Ledar looked at Rize and said ‘Hmm~’ with a meaningful smile and then told me.
“My friend Ceylon. What is that?”
that.
It seemed that Ledar had recognized the identity of Rize’s black magician.
At that time, I recalled what Miss Miz had said and said while showing Ledar the blue heart of Lise.
“He said he would become my slave as an apology for this incident.”
“What!? Slave!? What is that-…!”
Lize, who was disgusted and tried to protest against me, felt Redar’s gaze and hesitated.
In addition, as soon as I deprived her of her ‘power’, she immediately lowered her head without strength.
“Yes, that’s right… I decided to become Ceylon’s slave to pay for my sins.”
“Really? What. It’s an unusual slave, but since you’re a friend of Ceylon, you’re sure to take care of it. Anyway, Ceylon. Can I borrow your slave for a while?”
“Huh…!”
“Heeek…!”
At Ledar’s words, me and Lize looked at Ledar in awe at the same time.
“Huh? What’s wrong? It’s because you need the active cooperation of your slaves to solve this problem amicably.”
“Yes? Ah. Ah~ That’s right. Yes. That’s how it is, Rize? Please take good care of me.”
“Ha… how did I…”
That’s how I broke up with Ledar and Rise.
We headed to the Rebringer Mansion, where our young ladies were waiting for us, who had decided to be on standby in case they were caught in a dangerous situation.
***
“Ceylon, are you okay!?”
“How’d it go?”
Miss Aedrin and Miss Miz, who were waiting in front of the Rebringer Mansion, saw me and ran straight away.
“Ceylon, are you okay!?”
There was a state where even the amount given was joined.
I explained the circumstances of the incident to the three of them, and told them that all problems were resolved very smoothly with Ledar’s help.
After hearing the story, the sheep said, ‘Huh!’ I shook my head and took my luck.
“I was trying to appraise a necklace, but what is this-…”
That’s how it is.
I double-checked the two windows that came to my mind while working on this project.
[Achievement cleared!]
One was the achievement clearing window that came to mind when Rize handed me the blue heart and swore complete obedience.
[Quest cleared!]
And another one was the quest clear window that came to mind when I overpowered Lauen, the head of Dalai.
Somehow I made a villain my slave and cleared the achievement.
Somehow, I cleared a quest by infiltrating a criminal organization.
all this.
It happened while trying to present a hero grade artifact to Miss Aedrin.
“This is so…”
I laughed as I looked down at the heroic grade artifact in my hand, the necklace of courage.
Heroic Artifact.
Hero-class artifacts that can be easily obtained in games had a value that far exceeded my expectations in this world that became a reality.
It was the moment when I felt the gap between the game and reality once again.
‘Then, what on earth is a legendary or higher artifact?’
When I was thinking like that.
From noble mtl dot com
“huh…?”
Feeling strong gazes, I looked in the direction where the three of them were.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Miss Drin, Miss Aedrin, Miss Miz.
Three people were looking at me and the necklace with very interested faces.
Miss Miz was the first to speak.
“So, what are you going to do with that necklace?”
………..
what the!? going to first square again!?
