Episode 81.
As soon as I arrived at the capital of the Holy Empire of Epia, what I did was an investigation.
Following the investigation, I went to the entrance of the nearby mountain of the Holy Empire of Epia.
“It must be in the nearby mountains…”
They said that a vicious bandit lived there.
However, it was said that he was rotting a headache even in the Holy Empire because he was so new and rare.
“Whatever…”
I can guarantee you that you will be able to find it easily.
“According to the investigation, it is clear…”
It is said that they dug a hole in the middle of the mountain.
The problem was that the location of the cave could not be determined.
Even if they tried to subdue them, they were troublesome because they would destroy their oysters and cut off their tails.
“It has nothing to do with me, though.”
My plan, to put it simply, is now.
It is to defeat the enemy as the enemy.
After disguising themselves as bandits, they attack those who are active in the upper ranks in the capital of the Holy Empire of Epia.
After destroying the upper ranks, wipe out the bandits and you’re done.
“A very good plan.”
However, there was one problem.
“You can say that I ran away from a nearby village…”
Har was the problem.
silver wolf.
Also a mutant.
“Would you believe me if I said it was a pet dog?”
I guess I’ll never believe it
Even hunters do not raise silver wolves.
“Harya!”
Harr, who was close to me, barked.
“Will you be spending some time on this mountain?”
To be honest, I think Haru’s strength is enough.
Even if there were ogres on this mountain, Haru would be able to get them out of them.
“Okay, spend some time in this mountain. I’ll come pick you up right away.”
Haru understood my words and nodded.
At times like this, it didn’t even seem like a monster.
It was because his intelligence was very high for a monster.
“Then I go.”
I said, but Haru left first.
I felt a bit sad because I didn’t show the slightest hesitation.
“First, check the outfit.”
The clothes I wore were those of a commoner.
“Let me remind you again.”
That’s my excuse.
I thought of a suitable excuse.
From nob le mt l. co m
Not what I’m talking about, but a handsome face for a commoner.
If a commoner was born this way, he was fit to be the lover of a noble lady or a wealthy merchant.
“The village playboy.”
He flirted with women in the village based on his handsome face.
Then, he touched a woman who had an owner, and it was a big deal.
“So I ran away and came to this mountain.”
It was an excuse that could be called perfect.
But if there’s one thing I’m worried about, I don’t know if they’ll accept this kind of person there.
You have to believe it.
“If you try it once and it doesn’t work, think of another way.”
I started climbing the mountain.
With the determination to become a bandit.
***
“You are the youngest!”
It was a voice calling me.
Fortunately, the bandits welcomed me.
However, there was one thing that was a bit difficult.
“What, do you have another story?”
It was that he had become a storyteller of wild vegetables.
There was no reason to be alive.
Most of them were only men.
That’s why the bandits wanted to hear from me.
“Hmm… there are still many stories left!”
Recalling the story every day was no joke.
story of infidelity.
The story of a village girl.
“Shall I do it now?”
“No, it is. We should save it for the fun of the evening.”
During the time of 15 days, I completely adapted to living in the wild.
And in front of me, I looked at the guy who called me the youngest.
Most bandits were hairy.
The only one with little hair among the bandits.
It was a lek of the side of the mountain.
“It’s free anyway.”
“Iknow, right.”
I was able to get to know Lek a lot during the 15 days.
Lek treated me like a younger brother.
I thought I wasn’t such a bad person.
However, Lek’s saga was far from being a good person.
“Anyway, did I tell you? You mean I killed ten people at once?”
“Yes, I heard.”
A story that repeats itself every time.
It was unpleasant even though I heard it every time.
Put people with tied hands and feet side by side.
And the cruel story of throwing a weapon and killing it by penetrating it.
It was proud of having the highest record in this sanchae.
“This is something that even the noble knights can’t do.”
“hahahaha, I think so too.”
I didn’t want to be here any longer.
From nob le mt l. co m
No, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to be there.
I just wanted to get over it and leave.
But I couldn’t.
‘Because I haven’t seen the boss’s face yet.’
This sanchae is a sanchae run by Bubu-mok.
There are four sub-heads and one boss.
So there were a total of five sanchaes.
I figured out the location of the sanchae except here.
but one.
only one.
I couldn’t figure out as much as the boss’s wild vegetables.
“By the way, brother, where the heck is the boss’s living room?”
Reck’s expression hardened.
“Don’t tell me.”
“yes? why?”
Why the hell are you hiding it?
“Only the sub-heads should know about the boss’s wild vegetables. If someone other than the vice-head finds out, he must die.”
“…”
It was a headache.
From nob le mt l. co m
Nothing went according to my plan.
‘No, what kind of bandit is so systematic.’
He started as the youngest and thought of becoming the boss at once by causing a stir.
However, the position was not something that could be obtained only by being strong.
A high rank could only be obtained with a high experience as a bandit.
Besides, they are bandits who enjoy killing their lives, but they treat their family members with great care.
‘Disgusting.’
That just felt very disgusting.
My plan to do this is unreasonable.
He was planning to become the boss and destroy the branch of the organization in the Holy Empire of Epia.
But if this happened, there was only one thing I could do.
‘Even if it’s a bandit, I’ll just wipe it out first.’
Their atrocities were unforgivable.
Shouldn’t we appease the spirits of those who died unjustly?
“By the way, brother, it seems that something is different today.”
It was not a lively atmosphere.
From nob le mt l. co m
Neat but busy bandits.
It was as if they were welcoming guests.
“Our youngest has a keen eye. Well, you’ll see it for the first time.”
“Who is coming?”
“A person who can be said to be the moneyline and supporter of our gang of bandits is coming.”
“Sponsor…?”
I didn’t think there would be anyone who would support such a gang of bandits.
“I have a strong friendship with my boss. No, do you want to be close?”
“yes?”
“I’m not sure, but it seems like we’ve known each other since before.”
This was pretty good information.
“So who is the guest?”
“Um… I don’t know if you, a country boy, know it, but are you sure it’s from the North Merchant?”
north top.
The moment I heard that name, I stiffened for a moment.
“Is that the North Merchant I know?”
“Well, it would be correct if there weren’t two North Merchants.”
It was a branch of an organization disguised as the upper rank in the Holy Empire of Epia.
But what the heck does this have to do with the gang of bandits?
than that
“I know the North Merchant is a very good Merchant.”
The top of the north was the top that ostensibly referred to the line.
It was the top that gave a lot for those in need.
“It is all an illusion.”
“A misunderstanding…?”
“That guild has just been created, so why do you think it’s one of the leading guilds in the Holy Empire?”
“That’s it, I don’t know.”
“It’s all thanks to us.”
Lek spoke proudly, as if he were talking about his heroic feat.
If it is at the top of the north, it opens the mountain path, and at the top of the other top, it obstructs it as much as possible.
The bandits extort goods from other guilds and hand them over to the North guild.
“It’s such a piece of crap.”
I said it seriously without realizing it.
But Lek didn’t even care about that.
“hahahahaha, the youngest one speaks well. yeah, that’s crap But we are bandits. You have to do trash to make a living.”
Anyway, obviously Lek said that.
The North Merchant Company is acquainted with the leader of the bandits.
that is so.
‘Are you saying that the leader of the bandits is also a member?’
The bandits were also opponents that had to be dealt with anyway.
It was a weak point that I couldn’t find out in the book that tells the future.
‘It’s difficult.’
That said, there were obviously a lot of people I didn’t figure out.
It was a bunch of work for me to deal with all of them.
‘I’ll have to hit the head no matter what.’
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how huge an organization is, if its head disappears, it has no choice but to hesitate.
And even more so with such a clandestine organization.
However, one question arose.
“Why are people from Upper North coming here?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, shouldn’t we usually go with the boss alive?”
Isn’t it normal to go to the boss if there’s a business?
“that···!”
“What about it?”
“I do not know either.”
“yes?”
“Actually… it’s not.”
Lek stops talking while trying to speak.
It was frustrating for me.
But I couldn’t ask more here.
It was because the long-awaited guest had arrived.
“Leck subhead! Someone came from the top of the North.”
“okay? I’ll have to go out to meet you.”
At those words, I couldn’t help but be surprised once more.
Lek, who has penetrated ten people, uses a huge axe.
It was that big.
He hated moving as much as he was big.
From nob le mt l. co m
Normally, he would have a subordinate go out to meet him, but he was showing himself going out.
“Is this surprising…?”
“I can’t help it either, because the boss told me to treat him with utmost respect.”
A lek that moves its massive body.
I followed Lek.
And I faced the person at the top of North.
At the same time, the intent to kill simmered within me.
‘what? Why are you like this?’
When I saw the person at the top of the North, my intent to kill soared.
It was clear that the person at the top of the North was a member of the organization.
Because it has special powers.
‘This… would be quite useful?’
It became known just by looking at it.
Whether that person has the ability or not.
If the will to kill was seething, I had it, and if it didn’t, I didn’t have it.
By the way, the North Merchants faced Lek with a very arrogant attitude.
‘Um… Is the relationship with the North Company the upper hand?’
Lek said.
“It’s been a while. It’s a dock deck. Do you remember?”
“I remember it. Hurry up and guide me inside.”
Lek guided the person at the top.
I asked in a hint from Lek’s side.
“Who is that person, is the sub-head of Lek stumped?”
“He is the lord of the upper tier of the upper tier of North.”
Upper State of Upper North?
Unlike common merchants, I didn’t think of it as a top-tier liquor because of its skinny appearance.
That person is at the top.
‘Shall I die here?’
From nob le mt l. co m
No, that’s not okay.
This is a premature choice.
‘I don’t even know where the boss is yet.’
It was said that the relationship between Sang Sangju and the boss had existed before.
The boss was also likely to be a member of the organization.
That’s why I had to catch both of them at the same time.
“Sit here.”
Lek sat at the top of the table where he often sat.
“I’ve been to three places run by other subs until recently…”
“I see.”
“No… that means no.”
White lek.
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t it that you’re buying too much these days?”
“That’s right, these days, the soldiers of the Holy Empire of Epia are burning their eyes to find us…”
“noisy. Isn’t that what bandits do? If it continues like this, I need to talk to your boss.”
“Oh, please, that’s all!”
What kind of person is the boss that makes Lek so frightened?
“Well, that’s okay. Something very important has happened.”
“yes···?”
“Sooner or later, the carriages of the Mycenaean Empire will pass here.”
“You mean the Mycenaean Empire?”
“Attack that wagon.”
A raid on the carriage of the Mycenaerian Empire?
For some reason, I felt like someone I knew was on board.
