Bad Master – 1
The face-to-face with the emperor was only me and Neril.
Actually, I can go alone, but Neryl said he was bored and accompanied me.
·········.
The reason he met the master of the empire was ‘because he was bored’.
I have a feeling that cannot be described in words.
“Come here.”
Apparently, the emperor had abandoned all greed.
The fake smile he had seen before had completely disappeared from his face.
Instead, what hung on that face was respect and respect.
The lord of the empire bowed his head to me, who was once just a wandering mercenary.
“I’ve heard everything about Drronor estate. I sincerely thank you.”
“Please raise your head.”
“no. I got my mind set on something from the past. You have admitted that you overwhelm every aspect of your burden, not just force. Please accept this kind of greeting.”
“·················ogue.”
“Did you come here to tell about Drronor’s estate? If that’s the case, it’s already…”
I shook my head.
“no. I have come to ask you something.”
“Tell me.”
“Please allow me to enter the Underground of the Imperial Castle. Infinity until the day we kill the Demon King of Lies.”
The emperor answered immediately without thinking.
“I’ll do that.”
It was such a quick reply that I could barely breathe, so I opened my mouth for a moment.
How can you open the Underground of the Imperial Palace so easily?
[Think of your reputation now. It is only natural for the emperor to come out like that.]
so is he
said Neryl.
“Really? Do you have any other plans?”
“I don’t think so. Because Jim gave up his desire to become a hero.”
“under. You wanted to be a warrior.”
“It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Please don’t get too caught up in it.”
Neryl simply shook her head.
The first time he was deceived by his mask and gave him respect, it seems he was quite upset.
I bowed my head lightly.
“thank you. Then come on.”
“You’re still busy.”
“The coming of the Demon King has already become a fact. As a hero, you have to move fast.”
“Ugh. Presumptuous, but can Jim give you one piece of advice?”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Me and Neryl looked each other face to face.I said.
“Say it.”
“Will there be a bright death among your party members?”
“Yes, but.”
“Watch out for him.”
what is this again
Still, Neryl, who had unkind feelings toward the emperor, frowned.
“Are you trying to mess with our party?”
“It’s not like that. I’m just saying it out of pure concern. Now that the coming of the Demon King is certain, your party is the hope of mankind.”
“What are you worried about?”
“Ummm… if it’s you guys, you can talk comfortably.”
Despite the fact that there was no one there already, the emperor looked around.
and lowered his voice.
“I’m sure you’ve already heard from Maid, and I’ll tell you. The former emperor’s thing.”
“Did you poison yourself?”
“okay. As a Jim, there are many excuses I want to give, but for now, I’m going to put it all together and just talk about the gist of it. At that time, Jim poisoned the former emperor with a very unique poison.”
“·················ogue.”
“The person who made the poison was a man named Hiren Gois.”
Hiren Gois?
I’ve heard it somewhere…
ah!
I remembered the letters floating above Offense’s head.
-Heyren Gois and other 376 people sinned.
The secret crime that Offense wants to hide the most since he was registered as a representative.
Neryl tilts her head.
“who? that person.”
“He is a legendary man who has done countless assassinations on the continent. The dynamics of many forces were dictated by his hands.”
“Have I never heard of it?”
“If you’ve ever heard of an assassin’s real name, wouldn’t that be more of a problem? In particular, he specialized in poison, so most of the assassinations did not appear on the scene.”
I quietly folded my arms.
The king continues.
“Hiren Gois is extremely dangerous. To be honest, I thought he could kill Jim if he put his mind to it.”
“But why is that a reason to watch out for offenses?”
“Because Hiren’s disciple was Offense.”
ok?
So, would the offense be guilty of a crime against his master?
“Hiren secretly poisoned Jim for two months. Each time, there was a man who praised me until my mouth was dry.”
“You mean the man who praised you is Offense?”
“okay.”
“·················ogue.”
“When the last minute of poison was procured, Jim decided to dispose of Hiren. At that time, I made the Al-Khad general follow in the footsteps.”
Well, if it were you, it would have been just like that.
“But the manager came back empty-handed.”
“It’s a failure. It seems that Hiren’s skills were that great, right?”
“no. The captain didn’t even fight him.”
“···········?”
“I heard there was someone who dealt with Hiren first. He said he killed Hiren without much trouble.”
his voice becomes low
“It was a bright death.”
Well.
Offense’s crime against Hiren was the murder of his master.
“What kind of trust is there among the assassins? However, Hiren was also the guild leader of the continent’s best guild. Offense knows that he grew up there all his life under the hands of Hiren.”
“·················ogue.”
“Isn’t it a bit creepy to kill such a person without hesitation?”
“Well.”
“Anyway, Offense has already betrayed Caled. Is there not a person who has betrayed twice twice? That’s what I’m talking about.”
I laughed bitterly.
“Even in the world of mercenaries, betrayal happens like a meal.”
“However.”
“no. The human world itself is like that. If you want to be freed from those things, you have to be that heavenly god over there.”
“·················ogue.”
“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.”
I spoke over and over again.
“I take care of my party members.”
On the way back to the inn, Neryl said.
“Why did you kill Offense? my master.”
“Are you paying attention to what the emperor is saying?”
“I’m not really curious about that. It’s just that I’m a little sensitive to the keyword of betrayal.”
“why?”
“I was hit hard once.”
I tilted my head.
Neryl passed like water.
“Of course, I don’t think that ordinary guy would even betray you. Oh, this guy is so ordinary that, paradoxically, he is flawless.”
“Ask if you are curious.”
“done. If you ask me who betrayed you, I won’t answer.”
“·················ogue.”
“If you ask, I don’t know.”
At that, I smiled mischievously.
“Then shall I ask you now?”
“let me know?”
“uh······.”
“Fufu. If you’re really curious, I’ll let you know. Take time and tell me later.”
At that, I scratched my head.
Before the return, it was Neryl who was extremely reluctant to talk about herself, but she was shocked when she said that she would talk about everything so comfortably.
Returning to the inn, I gathered the party members and said:
“I got permission from the Emperor. From today, I think we will be living and eating in the basement of the Hwangseong Fortress.”
Serene said.
“I thought I was going to lose my mind because it was completely white there.”
“Then it will be back to normal.”
“What does it mean?”
“Do you think I understand correctly?”
I calmed the quarreling party members and continued.
“This is the information you need to find underground. How to communicate with the Heavenly God.”
“Can something like that happen? The Heavenly God is not someone who can communicate with a clear voice.”
“However, vague revelations and signs cannot achieve the goal. Idria will bring down a fake oracle. The only way to counter that is a real oracle.”
“…why the hell is Idria ranting like that? Did you even have friends with the heavenly gods?”
I was momentarily at a loss for words.
Serene receives Zenia’s words.
“I don’t think the Heavenly God has a good personality enough to eat friends with anyone.”
“Ummm… that’s right.”
“Or maybe it’s just because they’re equally sneaky, so there’s something that makes sense.”
“ah! That is convincing.”
I touched my forehead.
I’ll have to ask one more question when I meet the Heavenly God.
On what basis do you lower your divine power?
For the time being, I decided to stop working on building a reputation.
As with the difference that has already been nearly four times that of Kayle, when referring to the memory before the regression, no significant event occurs for a while.
Instead, he concentrated on searching the underground of the Imperial Palace.
We’ve been living underground for a week.
width.
Lissel fell flat on the white floor and cried.
“Grade. Help me.”
“Is it very difficult?”
“yes. Mr. Maid, are you okay? I feel like I’m about to go back!”
“·················ogue.”
“yo. this.”
“You seem to be getting more and more like Serene.”
Serena put a blood on her forehead.
“Is that a compliment?”
“no.”
“Don’t be bold.”
“How are you doing today?”
“Whew.”
She laid out the items she brought from each room as if she was selling it on the market floor.
“These are the weapons used by heroes from the first generation to the fourth generation.”
“It’s amazing. Are they all real?”
“In my opinion, yes. It’s as new as it was made yesterday.”
“By the way, Dame’s sword was the same last time.”
Xenia intervened.
“yes. My father’s sword must have been broken, but what I found here was as shiny as new.”
“Well. Even the kitchen where Serein’s parents had been stocked with fresh, freshly made food. It’s just speculation…”
I lifted my index finger.
“Maybe this place has the ability to keep everything in its original form.”
asked Neryl.
“Is my heirloom here too? But it wasn’t round. It was said that the hand stains that were used by the heads of households were still there.”
“It was brought in from outside.”
“··································································································· Aren’t they all brought in from outside? Everything here.”
Well.
It was time for me to say something.
[The touch came.]
‘Trail? After that, you’ve been quiet lately.’
[I was still concentrating. Remember when I was last time I found Serane’s parents?]
‘ah. of course.’
[Just like back then, I have a sense of humor. As you said, is it your intuition? Anyway, follow me.]
A screen window pops up and guides you somewhere.
I followed him.
“Maid?”
“Well. Everyone, please follow me.”
As we progressed through the pure white space, we saw a small door.
Outwardly, it is indistinguishable from tens of thousands of other gates.
But the screen window was definitely stopped in front of it.
[Go in.]
‘okay.’
I opened the door and went inside.
There was an altar there.
A trumpet on the altar… Huh? trumpet?
Offense says:
“The altar and the trumpet. What a bizarre combination.”
“It’s a sympathy. Shall we blow?”
“Uh… well, I’m fine.”
“Who wants to blow?”
They all waved their hands in amazement.
In times like these, I have to set an example as a leader.
widely.
I picked up the trumpet.
Neryl hurriedly grabs my arm and says:
“Made! It might be dangerous. Let’s just make an offense, okay?”
“My opinion is······.”
“don’t worry. Yes, it’s a trumpet anyway. If there is a problem, the burial will protect you.”
Then, the corners of Neryl’s lips twitched.
It feels good, but it seems like you put a lot of effort into pretending to be bad.
I carefully brought the trumpet to my mouth.
Of course, I’ve never played an instrument before, but I do know where to breathe.
-Puu.
It just sounds like a trumpet.
But nothing had changed.
Except that the sound in the small room with the altar hurts my ears.
“There is nothing. It must be just a trumpet.”
“It’s a trumpet.”
“Your intuition cannot be wrong.”
It’s not my fault. Follow the trail.
[If things go well, it’s my fault, if things go wrong, it’s someone else’s fault.]
That was then.
Russell’s voice was heard.
She had her eyes wide open.
“Oh, I guess I was right. Mr. Maid’s intuition.”
