Episode 179
“Sir. It’s not like I have everything.”
Dorian patted his stomach pockets and licked his lips.
“So, do you have a contract? no?”
If there was Raon, he raised his hand to ask for it quickly.
“Ah, there is.”
Dorian put his hand in his stomach pocket and wiggled, and a stiff contract came out.
“I need a pen and a bookshelf.”
“There is, but… .”
He put his hands in his pockets again, and took out a pen and a bookshelf.
“Thank you.”
Raon smiled softly as she took the pen and the book stand.
“You know? I don’t always have it all!”
“know.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Dorian slurped his appetite, wiped the blood from the club that had been placed beside him, and put it back into his stomach pocket.
The onlookers burst into admiration once more as the gigantic club went into the small belly pocket.
“Wow… .”
“Sighardt is no joke.”
“That’s it. From a young swordsman who defeated Enild, to a very unusual swordsman… .”
“Did the giant of the north wake up?”
“Well, if Sieghard moves, no one can stop it.”
Perhaps because the appearances they just showed were surprising, all the onlookers forgot about Balkar and talked only about Sieghard.
Raon listened to the onlookers’ fuss and quickly wrote a contract.
‘This would be enough.’
The content was simple. Until the end of this mission, Salaman wrote that he must obey the orders of the gang, and that no violence, abusive language, or use of slurred language is allowed. Of course, I also wrote a section saying that I can’t make excessive demands to the point of risking my life on the part of the Gwangpungdan.
“Look.”
“Did you even have to sign a contract?”
Morel accepted the contract and frowned.
“Because it’s good to be certain about work.”
“Our constant bosses aren’t as fussy as I am. Should I be careful?”
Rimer glanced at the contract and smiled.
“Are you proud?”
“It’s proud. Your disciple has fallen over with his teeth pulled out, but my disciple is standing there proudly.”
He grinned, pointing to Enild and Raon in turn.
“Ouch… .”
Morel, who had been forcing herself to keep her composure, couldn’t stand it and grinded her teeth. It seems that it is a big shock to him to be compared to his disciple.
“There is nothing wrong with the contract. Please sign quickly.”
“noisy.”
Morel slapped Limer on the shoulder and looked around. Now, seeing more than a hundred spectators, he sighed.
‘It’s like this… .’
I thought it was an opportunity to flatten Sieghart’s nose and proposed a duel, but I didn’t know it would be like this. The princess and Enild were talking to each other, and there was no way out because there was something she had said.
“Whew… .”
Morel looked at the contract again and signed the contract.
“Look. I’m going to do it anyway.”
“Shut up your mouth!”
“yeah!”
When Limer mocked Morel, Raon approached Princess Jaina and Enild. Enild had not yet woken up from the physical shock and the princess from the psychological shock.
“Are you going to the hospital?”
“Yes. Fortunately, there is a famous treatment center in the middle of the boulevard.”
Zatis picked up Enild and pointed to the four-story building in the middle of the road. There was no wrinkle on his face as he sincerely admitted defeat. Rather, he smiled as if thanking him for talking to him.
“okay. Bye.”
Raon nodded and pulled out two red pins from his pocket. He quickly moved his hand and inserted the pins into Enild and Princess Jaina’s clothes.
“Hmm… .”
“Laon!”
As I was watching Enild and Princess Jaina carrying them down, the paper fluttered and flew.
“Signature done!”
“Twitter.”
Looking back, Limer was smiling and Morel was kicking stones on the floor with a poopy expression on her face.
“I will never forget today’s humiliation.”
“Yes. You can’t forget it. Aren’t you the one who created that humiliation?”
“Ugh, you… .”
“Sir.”
Raon handed the contract to Limer again, leaving Morel trembling behind.
“The contract must be taken by the owner.”
“Oh, it’s annoying. you take care of it.”
Without accepting the contract, Limer covered the back of her head with her interlaced hands.
“Sir! Isn’t it harsh that you won’t even sit at the dinner table that Raon has prepared for you?”
“There’s nothing bad about doing it. More than the instructor.”
“Ugh… .”
Limer shuddered at the cold eyes of Burren and Marta and tried to get the contract.
“no. I’d rather have it.”
Raon shook his head and put the contract in his arms.
“I can’t because Danjoo will sell it over there if he owns it.”
If you look at the Limer so far, if you only give a few gold coins, it’s not a contract, but the contract grandfather was also someone to sell.
“let’s go. With this uproar, the mayor must be ready.”
Raon opened the door of the city hall and went inside. Gwangpungdan and Salaman, now a servant, sighed and followed behind.
“ah… .”
Rimer, who was left alone in front of the city hall, trembled with tears in her eyes as she looked at her empty hands.
“shit! There was even a way to sell contracts!”
* * *
The basement was filled with sticky, red water on the floor. Thin moans of people could be heard from the iron cages lined up on either side of the hallway.
Would I be 14 now? A young-faced caught girl walks through that fishy hallway. He hummed and opened the door at the end of the hallway, as if enjoying the sobbing moans in the iron cage.
In a room with a fresh atmosphere that doesn’t seem like a basement, an old man with a benevolent appearance with his gray hair hanging softly was sitting in a chair and reading a book.
“Sieghard and Balkar have arrived as scheduled.”
The girl sat down at the desk, talking to the old man as if she were a friend.
“It’s the exact day. How are you ready?”
The old man did not look at the girl, but looked at the book and asked.
“What do you ask? Half drank, half left.”
“The apostle is coming soon. Make sure to calculate so that there is no disruption to the movement.”
“Okay. But something interesting happened.”
The girl with the red hair spread her small hand and continued.
“Sighardt and Balkar had a duel as soon as they arrived.”
“duel?”
“I don’t know why we fought, but Sieghard’s young swordsman and Enild were fighting.”
“I think Enild would win.”
“no.”
Saying no, for the first time, the old man’s gaze turned to the girl.
“Sieghard’s young swordsman was absolutely overwhelming. It wasn’t even a sword, but I smashed it all with a stick.”
“Well? stick? What are you talking about now?”
“There the blonde kid… .”
The girl told me everything from the battle between Raon and Enild to the bets that followed.
“Celine.”
The old man narrowed his eyes and called out to the girl.
“Investigate that young prosecutor.”
“why? You’ll be leaving soon anyway.”
“We and Sieghard have no choice but to keep bumping into each other. If it’s a guy who will become a powerful enemy in the future, I’ll have to find out in advance. And if you ever get the chance… .”
“You mean to kill me?”
A girl called Celine cut her neck with her two fingers together.
“If there is Limerna Morel, don’t approach it, just gather information. Only move when he’s alone. Unless you’re a master, you won’t be able to notice your magic. It will not be difficult.”
“That’s easy.”
She smiled as she wiped her face of beauty and cuteness.
“I wonder what Sieghard’s blood tastes like.”
“Have you not eaten a lot?”
“That kid is different. Talent is talent, but he also has a handsome face.”
“Hey, it’s useless.”
The old man clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“By the way, did you say that the princess and Enild fell?”
“okay. I passed out and took him to the healing room.”
“Hmm… .”
The old man scratched his chin and smiled faintly.
“This could be a one stone two pair.”
* * *
Porban’s Mayor Owist had a good appearance and gave him a sense of trust. However, sweat kept dripping down his face and he had an uneasy impression.
“Well, welcome.”
Owist nodded, wiping sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
“It’s called Porban’s Mayor Owist.”
“It’s called the Limer of the Sieghard Frenzy.”
Limer greeted each other with a soft smile.
“Sit down.”
Following the mayor’s beckoning, Limer sat in the center, and the rest stood behind him.
“It’s an honor to see Sieghard’s lightsaber… .”
“I was doing well, but the mission is urgent, so let’s get right to the point. Please explain.”
Limer tapped the table to start talking about the mission.
“Oh, I see. Our Porban is a place where we make a living from trade and tourism, so there are a little more disappearances compared to other areas. However, the number has gradually increased since three months ago, and over the past two weeks, more than 100 people have been reported missing.”
Even if Porban is not a small city, it is unusual for more than 100 missing persons to be reported in just two weeks. There are many people who do not believe in city hall, so there is a possibility that the actual disappearance is higher than that.
“For the investigation, even knights were sent to disguised city guards and mercenaries, but the disappearance continued as if ridiculing us, and even the mercenaries and knights who were deployed disappeared.”
Owist wiped the sweat running down his cheeks, muttering to him to fix it.
“But for such a large number of disappearances, the atmosphere in the city is not so bad, is it?”
Limer opened her mouth as she looked at the city outside the mayor’s room. As he said, I didn’t feel the shadows in the Porban I saw today.
“Because you didn’t tell me about the disappearance.”
“What do you mean?”
Burren, who had been quiet, narrowed her eyes and stepped forward.
“No, as I said, we are a city that lives on trade and tourism. If there are rumors that the number of disappearances has increased rapidly, tourists or merchants don’t come, so I didn’t tell them.”
Owist knew that was the problem, so he sweated twice as much. It almost looked like it had been raining.
“Does that make sense! Shouldn’t it be done quickly to reduce the damage?”
“If the city is known about the disappearance, it is inevitable that the damage will be suffered by the entire city, not just a few.”
“Girl! There is nothing you can do!”
“Burren, Martha.”

Not only Burren, but Marta as well, Raon raised her hand and blocked the view of the two of them.
“The Lord is talking.”
“How am I supposed to be patient when I see this!”
“It is easy to imprint the image of a city so much that tourism comes to mind when we think of Porban. If there is talk of mass disappearances, tourists will go to other places of interest, and trade will decrease accordingly.”
Raon continued speaking in a calm voice so that not only the two of them could hear it, but also others.
“Then, as the mayor said, the damage will spread throughout the city. It’s not disappearance, but there may be a large number of people who lose their jobs and die of starvation. There is no guarantee that the disappearance will disappear just by reporting it. If they are crazy enough to take 100 people with them for two weeks, they will kidnap them even if they break the door.”
If they kidnapped more than 100 people in two weeks, they’re monsters that have already cast off their human skins. If people don’t come out by reporting the disappearance, they may take people hiding in the house.
“For the citizens of the city, it is best to deal with this case quickly.”
“I am correct!”
As soon as Raon finished speaking, Owist stood up clapping.
“If this incident spreads throughout the city, there will be a chain of events that cannot be compared to disappearances! Me, there are so many substitutes in our city!”
He looked at Raon with eyes full of admiration.
“Who the hell is that? Sat, your insight is not normal.”
“Hey, he is the constant owner of our Gwangpungdan and my disciple. Normal.”
Limer coughed and pointed at himself.
“You are the disciple of the Light Sword. Somehow, the intelligence is astonishing.”
Owist looked at Raon and nodded his head broadly.
‘That’s great.’
It is a thought that anyone can do if given the time, but to reach that depth in this brief moment, the man named Raon did not know the power of the man, but his insight far surpassed that of the criminal.
“Did you know anything about them?”
“They don’t care day or night. It doesn’t matter if there are people around or not. Just like a thief steals something, he kidnaps people without anyone knowing. It almost felt like it had disappeared. So no one knows how disappearances are made.”
“What is the level of force of the mercenaries and knights who went missing during the investigation?”
“The mercenaries were about the level of the expert, and the Ki, the knights were the intermediate and advanced experts.”
Owist sighed deeply as if he still didn’t understand.
“It is said that Senior Expert is missing… .”
“I was surprised too.”
“Well, do you have any more information? I saw their martial arts, their looks, their clothes.”
“sorry. No one.”
“It’s probably not an ordinary human trafficker.”
Limer scratched his chin and frowned.
“Actually, the traffickers are even more fussy in the meantime. It hurts my head in many ways.”
Owist sighed, squeezing his temples.
“This is not normal. Maybe five miles.”
“Oh, will you come?”
When Limer brought out the word oma, the market’s cheeks trembled.
“My, please fix it! If this is resolved, not only the commission fee, but also anything you want as a reward! please!”
Owist shook his head. He continued to tell stories about the city as a whole rather than his own well-being. He seemed to be a person who only thought about the city, unlike the feeling he had from his appearance.
“Remember the saying that we will do anything you want.”
Limer smiled and stood up.
“let’s go!”
He opened the door to the mayor’s office and went out.
“Well, why did the Salahmans come back?”
The mayor tilted his head when he saw Morel and the wizards standing behind Raon.
“Never mind.”
Raon pointed to Salaman and continued.
“Because it’s our servant.”
“Huh! That, what is that!”
Owist stood up in awe. I thought Morel was going to make a fuss, but he didn’t move and his chin trembled.
“Ko, you don’t have to call me a servant, right?”
“Isn’t it?”
Raon tilted her head, following Morel’s back words.
“I don’t… .”
Morel looked into the air and took a deep breath before continuing.
“You don’t have to… do you? .”
“Like I said, I like to be certain.”
Raon smiled and pointed to the open door.
“Let’s go. Danju will be waiting for you below.”
He tapped Morel on the shoulder and left the mayor’s office.
“Whoa… .”
Morel took a slow breath. He spit out blazing heat and looked at Owist.
“Huh!”
Owist caught the gaze and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Don’t say, I mean kill.’
Morel left the mayor’s office with a glance that he would burn his whole body wherever he talked about today’s work.
“Ouch!”
“Ugh!”
“shit… .”
“What is this!”
Other wizards followed Morel, grinding their teeth or biting their lips.
“Huh! Whoops!”
In the mayor’s room left alone, Owist lost strength in his legs and collapsed into a chair.
“What the heck… .”
* * *
The gang and Salaman who came out of the mayor’s room gathered in front of Limer.
“As I heard, the background behind the disappearance is unknown. There are people who can give you a rough estimate, but I can’t say too hastily.”
Limer continued to speak with her back on her back.
“Since even the high-ranking expert prosecutor has disappeared, individual actions are absolutely prohibited. We move as a team of three, including two Gwangpungdan and one Salaman according to the number of people.”
“Yes!”
“Are you not complaining about Morel?”
“… … .”
Morel just nodded without answering as if her pride had been hurt.
“You have to answer.”
Raon beckoned to Morel.
“Okay, ah, I see.”
“i get it?”
“I see… All right.”
“It’s good.”
Raon raised his hand to Limer as if to continue.
“Pu ha ha ha ha! Morel! Oh my stomach hurts!”
Limer looked at Morel, grabbed her stomach and smiled, and instructed Raon to form a group, saying that she had lost her strength. It was obvious that it was annoying.
“Ha, really… .”
Raon shook his head and formed groups appropriately so that their skills were balanced.
“The investigation begins with this group. Me and Morel will be waiting around here. Come back here every three hours to report progress. Don’t try to solve the problem, start with the report.”
Limer handed over the silent flute he had given him as a trainee along with those words one by one.
“I have something to give you.”
Raon took out one red pin from his pocket and tucked it into the Kwangpung member’s clothes.
“What is this?”
Burren narrowed her eyes as she looked at the red pins on her clothes.
“It is a clothespin made of pyrite.”
Raon continued, attaching a clothespin to Runan who was blinking.
“My auror resides, so I can locate it. Never take it off.”
This clothespin is a piece of equipment that was made by asking Vulcan, and it is a piece of equipment that can identify the location of the cartoonist’s auror. It hasn’t been completely overhauled yet, but now it seems like it should be used even if it’s an unfinished product.
“Ttt, well, something like this… .”
Martha clicked her tongue, but didn’t stop her from attaching the clothespins, as if she didn’t like it at all.
“One of our constant preparations is thorough… .”
“It will be deducted from the public fund of the Gwangpungdan, so prepare it.”
“Hmm… .”
Limer did not answer, and turned her head.
“Well then, let’s go. If you witness the disappearance or find a suspicious person, report it immediately.”
“Yes!”
“All right!”
The temporary group consisting of Gwangpungdan and Salaman responded loudly and started moving to their assigned area.
“Do you think you can find it?”
Morel asked as he approached Limer’s side.
“It will be difficult.”
Limer smiled and shook her head.
“Since I openly showed you that Sieghard and Balkar have come, I will buy them unless they are empty-headed bastards. but… .”
“but?”
“As we expected, one of the Omar might set off a big fire and run away.”
“Uh… .”
Morel frowned, thinking it could be.
“A similar thing happened in our area. As soon as I left the support, the disappearance case disappeared like a ghost.”
“Is that why you came here?”
“okay. Because I thought I could catch the tail. But it’s all ruined because of you guys.”
Morel let out a rough breath.
“By the way, what is Raon, your disciple, doing? Aside from the force, you can even roll your head… .”
When Raon read Owist’s thoughts in the mayor’s office, swearing almost came out of her voice.
A guy named Raon had a talent for creating surprises the more he looked at it.
“I can’t believe that guy is a colleague… .”
“Oh, I remembered where to go.”
Limer stopped Morel and waved her hand.
“Do you know how to listen? You see if there are any problems with the kids here.”
“Limer!”
Morel shouted, but Rimer suddenly became a wind and disappeared.
“Damn you!”
Morel saw where Limer had disappeared and sharpened her teeth.
“You’ve found a way to upset a teacher or a disciple!”
* * *
Raon took Dorian and Zatis to the outskirts of the city.
“You can rest.”
I told Jatis, who suffered internal and traumatic injuries, to rest and not overdo it, but he followed me to the end saying that I had to match the numbers.
“it’s okay. It is just an honor to go with Raon.”
There was only one match, but Jatis looked at Raon with eyes as if he had met a gift.
“I did not expect to be amazed by the swordsmanship of someone younger than me. I got goosebumps at the swordsmanship combined with extreme effort and talent.”
“Jatis-sama will also be able to climb higher if you see her change of position in a quick moment.”
“Hey, there’s no need to lacquer my face that didn’t even get a single sword.”
“I’m serious.”
Leon shook his head. Judging from Jati’s personality and swordsmanship attributes, he had the constitution to grow faster as he got older.
“I just thank you for saying that.”
Jatis blushed and bowed his head. Unlike his swordsmanship skills, he felt immature.
“Are you two over there? Do you have me too?”
Dorian came to the side, stroking his belly button, but Raon and Zatis were only talking about swordsmanship.
“But this is not an area we have to search, is it?”
Jartis swallowed dry saliva as he looked around the gradually darkening alley.
“yes. no.”
“Then why are you here… .”
“Because we don’t have a lot of information.”
Raon twirled his fingers, saying that he didn’t have enough information to solve the problem.
“Originally, this kind of information is supposed to look down, not up.”
He made his way through the dirty, dim alley as if he had been there once.
“Um, are you okay? .”
Jartis frowned as he looked at the blood-stained shards of glass on the floor.
“You just have to follow along.”
Dorian came to the side with a cookie he didn’t know where he got it from.
“If you follow that person, things will be resolved on their own. It’s a bit scary, but… .”
He shrugged his shoulders as if in a creepy way and followed Raon.
“Well… .”
Zatis looked at Raon’s back and wiggled his fingers. He encountered a number of knights in the kingdom and swords, but this was the first time he was impressed.
Raon’s sword contained something beyond strength and skill.
‘I want to see that sword again.’
He followed after Raon, trampling the glass fragments that were encouraging hesitation.
