Taming The Villainesses chapter 257

(EP.257)Like the Wind #2

257 – Like a fleeting wind #2

Escorted by Elgar and the soldiers, I headed to the basement laboratory on the third floor of the mansion.

It was a short while since I remembered the decisive battle that took place here. Elgar’s steps continued uninterrupted until she finally arrived at the throne of the machine where Opal was sitting.

“Why are you here?”

Even though everything had already been suppressed, it was a space with some eerie feeling. Mechanisms placed here and there are still buzzing around.

It’s appalling.

said Elgar.

“There is nothing that I can see. Tae-oh, I wondered if I could know anything by looking at you. Have you seen this here?”

Shh.

A thick tank was placed where Elgar’s finger was pointing.

Inside the bubbling blue solution is a tiny human being. A boy who appears to be around 10 or 12 years old. Seeing that his ears are pointed, he’s only an elf.

oddly familiar

However, even as me with a good memory, I couldn’t recall where I had seen such a boy.

“I think I’m seeing it for the first time.”

I didn’t know something like this existed here.

Because at the time, he was only focused on fighting opals, so he didn’t have the energy to look around.

“Even though everything around me is being smashed, I can see that this is fine. I think it’s very important. Even the magic circles written around it look unusual.”

At Elgar’s words, I looked into the tank again. As she said, it is strange that only this tank is intact in the midst of all chaos.

Then Narmi, who followed me, said:

“This is a magic circle I’ve seen somewhere… ?”

“Do you know what it is?”

“I think I remember… . If it was your sister, you might know. But my sister has fainted since yesterday, so it will take a while to get up, hehe.”

Right.

“First, let’s try to move it without breaking it. If you ask the researchers at Angmar Palace, you might get some answers.”

“Then, everyone come and move!”

At Elgar’s command, Lioness’ soldiers demolished most of the things placed in the Belhawk family’s laboratory.

Elgar, who has roughly finished the work, kicks her tongue as she sees the loads being loaded onto the wagon.

“I must have been hiding so many skills. elf guys. You’ve been doing some really bad things behind your back. I have no idea what the tools are.”

It was just as Elgar said.

The technology of the elves, which was developing in the basement of Belhawk, was far ahead of what I had expected. Now that the lab has been dug up, their technology will be revealed to the world one by one.

Perhaps, using commercially available technology, something like an air conditioner may be created.

“Opal, what on earth did he do this for?”

When the rough was done, Elgar questioned all of this. Then, as if thinking of something, he sighed softly and added.

“Tae-oh, I don’t know if you heard it too. Opal’s last words to say. Didn’t it sound like the devil is still alive?”

I think Elgar heard it too.

I said softly after realizing that no one was around.

“You must be careful with your words, Elgar-sama. It is not a word that can be easily taken out. You know Elgar best.”

“It is, though. It sure sounded that way. unless otherwise I don’t understand why such a frenzied gathering of technology and armaments.”

Elgar’s words made sense.

“It happened.”

Aira, who received most of the full story of the incident, sat on the throne and nodded her head with a languid expression. It was boring to listen to, so the occasional yawn made me feel very relaxed.

“So what was the conclusion?”

“The bottom line is, once I caught most of the people involved in the Belhawk family. Human resources will also reach the tops and branches spread out across the country. We are looking for more people involved.”

“okay. But if one part of your family is completely uprooted, the aftermath may be quite large and difficult to deal with. Do you have any workarounds in mind?”

At Aira’s question, I synthesized the current situation.

“Once, Professor Stella… , no, Stella von Belhawk is in charge of the house and is in command.”

Stella was working with the family members who were not involved in this case to clearly draw the line and responsibility for this case.

Officials will not escape punishment. Elves not related to this case will be brought under Stella’s command.

If Opal’s Bellhawk was the old season.

silkygoat was the goat. cry

Now, it can be said that the hawk family has entered a new season with Stella Belhawk as the head. That’s the number Stella was aiming for, so that’s good.

However, Ira seemed a little dissatisfied.

“But the Belhawk family still need a proper punishment, don’t they?”

“I know that Aira-sama would say so, and I plan to make them compensate for a huge fine. About 1 million gold—.”

Before I could even stop talking, Aira’s eyes widened.

I decided to keep that expression in my mind, because Aira’s surprises really only happen once or twice a year.

“One million gold. Isn’t that enough money to build several forts? That money would be enough to even open an untitled system.”

“Yes.”

“As expected, Tae-oh, if you leave it to you, everything will work out smoothly.”

Ira smiled contentedly.

As a result, the bizarre ambition of the Belhawk family was also crushed. The financial problem that Aira was suffering from was also resolved in one shot, so this can be seen as a neat ending in its own way.

However, Elgar, who was listening to the story with her back leaning against the pillar of the court, smirked.

“The shape of the country looks like this, but can you tell me if it is untitled or what? It’s still cluttered, though.”

That statement makes sense.

The hero Opal is dead.

Only those involved are aware of that fact. But there are no perfect secrets in the world. Even with thorough enforcement, the rumors will spread like smoke in Korea.

The country as a whole may be depressed.

In the meantime, do you celebrate?

However, Ira laughed huhu-huh.

“That’s why we need a festival. It is to hold a festival large and grand enough to show everyone that the status and influence of the kingdom is still intact. It shows that nothing is wrong.”

Is that correct?

As I was pondering for a while, Elgar hurled something she was holding in her arms at Aira. Ira, who received it with her telekinetic power, narrowed her brow lightly.

“This?”

“Maybe opal wasn’t the only problem, so I looked into it. This is a list of the Lioness family’s budget use from the year Solomon was subjugated to this year.”

👌👌👌👌

Aira, who opened the scroll, read the letters slowly. Then, as soon as it got annoying, he handed it to me nearby.

After taking it well, I read its contents carefully. Elgar adds an explanation as he is trying to heat his head looking at the complex numbers.

“Look at the armaments list. From the year of the subjugation of the Demon King to the death of my grandfather Bald Liones, the armament has increased astronomically every year.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“After the Demon King was subjugated, the wall was built. With that, the war was almost over. Why do you think it was necessary to invest such an astronomical cost at a time when we had to focus on reconstruction?”

“I do not know.”

“It looks like this to me. My grandfather-Wald was afraid of something. I felt I needed to be prepared. Otherwise, this amount and amount would not make sense.”

Aira, who was quietly listening to those words, asked with a hoarse-long nose.

“What was that valiant Bald afraid of?”

“Maybe Solomon was not dead, as Opal said? If you look at the records of the Draco and Tarantera families, I think you can get a better idea.”

“I never thought my cousin Erganes would believe in such a nonsense.”

Unlike Elgar, who was serious, Ira was only relaxed. Perhaps because she thought the story was not working, Elgar took a step back and disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, her presence was barely felt, and Aira let out a small sigh.

“Ever since I was young, Elgar couldn’t come to her senses when she was obsessed with one. It’s not the first time I’ve been beaten badly because of that, but I still haven’t been able to change that habit.”

“okay.”

I nodded my head moderately.

* * *

“I found out. This is a reincarnation.”

👌👌👌👌

Meeting room at Angmar Palace. Mirna stood in front of the wide blackboard and opened a scroll to us.

Seeing that, Ira stopped yawning from boredom until recently and drew an arc on the corner of her mouth.

“Reincarnation?”

“It is a golden art of transplanting part of a person’s soul or memory into an object. It’s a top secret that was being studied by the Draco family. I don’t know how the elves got it. This is a reincarnation technique.”

Everyone fell asleep for a moment at Mirna’s resolute explanation.

Then Reinhard von Lioness, a man sitting at the table, holding the weight with his arms crossed, opened his mouth.

“So, you mean that Opal was preparing for reincarnation in the body of a young elf boy?”

“You can see it, Lioness. Had it been a little later, I might have succeeded. If I had dealt with the opal who was reincarnated with a healthy body… .”

Mirna closed her mouth after that.

As she said, it is easy to imagine what would have happened if Opal, who was reincarnated with a healthy body, had a riot. It must have been my funeral by now.

Everyone must be thinking the same thing.

It was Stella, who broke the silence and opened her mouth, as the representative of the Belhawk family and the center of this case.

“You look like my brother. That elf boy. I thought I saw it wrong at first. He looked so much like his older brother when he was younger, and I was surprised at the moment.”

I asked.

“So, you are saying that he is the son of Opal?”

“Well. But I’ve never heard of my brother having children. Because Opal was such a simple person in that respect.”

“okay.”

The more information is revealed, the more question marks appear.

The meeting was followed by a bunch of boring and serious conversations.

What will happen to the Belhawk family in the future? These were important issues that had to be addressed, such as the issue of compensation and the punishment of those involved.

– How did the escaped subjects… ? It seems that they are already invading private houses and causing damage.

-I’ve heard reports that a mad nymph, the strongest nymph, entered the nobleman’s mansion and ate all the sugar. As long as the nobles have suffered damage, they can’t stay still… .

Fortunately, there was Reinhardt, who had a great sense of politics.

“Then I will finish this meeting, so if you have something to say, raise your hand.”

silkygoat was the goat. cry

No one raised a hand to Reinhardt’s question. In my ears, I could hear people gossiping.

– You said that Lioness’ Golden Army took care of all of this as well? I don’t know if the Lioness family’s power is growing too much.

-Now that even the Belhawk has fallen like this, now is the era of Lioness in name and reality. Is the era of your family a thing of the past?

-Well then, who will stop the Lioness family from running rampage? ?

exactly.

Lioness’ power is growing too much.

I wasn’t worried though.

Because I was confident that I was holding on to Lioness’ leash.

“Then let me disband.”

Along with Aira’s words, people rushing through the venue. As I was walking through the gap, someone approached me.

“King Tae-oh, I heard you did a great job in this job. I think people’s dissatisfaction will disappear as I’ve performed an activity that suits my position as a court wizard.”

Reinhardt.

To be honest, I was embarrassed by this guy.

From the beginning, it was rumored that he was a scary man that was difficult to deal with. Do I have to say that things got worse with Elgar?

The moment this man realized all the facts, he had no idea how to face each other. It’s going to happen someday, so I think it’s good to think about it… .

Chuck.

He placed a large hand on my shoulder.

“My daughter also praised the Lord a lot.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, it’s not often that my daughter compliments anyone else. It looks like you did a pretty good job at the arc, didn’t you?”

“Yeah… .”

After that, I couldn’t see Elgar’s face. I wouldn’t be the one to fall for a place like this. So, as I was looking around, Reinhardt said.

“If it were my daughter, she would probably be in the court room where the all-southers gather. They say they are waiting for the results of the research.”

“Research results?”

“You must be busy with Bellhawk work. Go see it once. Please let me know the results of the meeting while you are gone.”

Reinhardt pushed my back.

There was no reason to go to Elgar now. It would be better than having an awkward conversation with Reinhardt like this. Shall we head to the place where the doves of the court gather?

The balcony of the high spire even in the court.

As I climbed up there, I saw a woman staring at the night sky with her back to the entrance. The blonde, who wore red armor but had a richly stretched back, was a person I knew well.

“Mr Elgar. What are you doing here? The meeting is over.”

Shh.

Then Elgar turned her head.

Perhaps it was because he had turned his back to the moonlight, his expression was somewhat cold, and it was difficult for me to talk to him. Are you mad because the weather is hot?

It was the time when I tried to open my mouth again, grasping my shuddering heart.

👌👌👌👌

Elgar handed me a piece of paper.

“Answer the truth. If you tell a lie, I will break your neck.”
