124 – 120.Dragon of the City of Pleasure-6
The Red Scale Tribe and the Mage Tower are hostile to Bern.
The two factions dispatched personnel to Yuran.
It was already known that the entire kingdom was active, so it was understandable enough.
However, the people of the Red Scales who worship Ignit are famous for being active only in the west and nearby areas.
Yuran’s location is in the northeast of the kingdom, virtually invisible to the tribesmen in the west.
‘Why did you go all the way to Yuran?’
Bern wondered why they had come to a distant foreign land.
Moreover, I wanted to know what else the Magic Tower was planning to come to Yuran.
Bern was about to go back to his lodgings and rest, but he turned his steps back in curiosity.
Disappearing with magic and completely killing his presence, Vern infiltrated Cestia’s house.
Avoiding the sight of the servants in the garden, he climbed the old tree he had looked at the day before.
The old tree located right next to the building was close to the reception room, so you could listen to the story if you paid close attention.
Bern used heat detection magic to identify two people sitting opposite each other in the drawing room.
One was a woman with horns on her head, and the other was a stocky man.
A swordsman from Sestia and the Red Scale Tribe.
“Meet Sestia, the great blue dragon of Yuran.”
“Enough with the greetings. Tell me something quickly I am not a very leisurely person.”
“…… All right. I’m assuming that Sestia-nim knows most of the information, so I’ll omit the details. There is one reason why I came all the way to Uran.”
A man taking out parchment from his chest.
The parchment had a montage-like picture drawn on it.
As soon as Sestia saw this, there was a person she immediately came to mind, but she skillfully reacted like a stranger.
“Do you think this guy is the one Ignit gave the order to kill?”
“You knew that, too. Yes, he is an ignorant and oblivious man who harbored hostility along with disrespectful remarks towards Ignit.”
“You mean you’re pushing this at me, you want me to take care of it?”
The man shook her head from side to side.
“I have no intention of making Sestia-sama any trouble. She wants you to share even the smallest information. Even if you don’t have it, if you witness it later or if there is a report, please contact me immediately. If you do that, I promise to repay you in the name of Ignit.”
“Huh~”
The reward of a red dragon that appeals to even the richest people in the world.
As well as various treasures and artifacts that can never be obtained with money, even rare materials such as dragon scales and claws are provided.
It was an offer made after learning that Sestia’s hobby is collecting treasures.
‘Looking at it this way, it looks pretty smooth… ….’
However, it turned out to be just such an offer for Sestia, whose interest in her Bern was further aroused by the events of last night.
To her surprise, she was paying more attention to the picture on the parchment than to the story of her man.
“Sestia-sama?”
“… ….”
“Lady Sestia!”
“Ah! What were you talking about just now?”
“I was asking if you would accept Ignit-sama’s offer.”
“… Okay. It’s not really a story that I’m going to lose, so I’ll accept it.”
“Thank you! Then I’m just…….”
“Wait a minute!”
At Cestia’s urgent call, the man stopped her as she was about to leave.
He turned her head to ask what was going on.
Then Sestia shuddered and whispered in a voice that had entered her mouse hole unlike before.
“Is there parchment the same as that one, are there any more?”
“You mean parchment with pictures on it?”
“Yes, we need to notify the residents of Yuran as well.”
“I see. Sometimes I have more.”
“Then give me everything you have.”
“Not that much… ….”
“Stop talking nonsense, give it to me! Are you saying that I’m actively cooperating with you, but you’re saying you don’t like it now?”
“Oh, I see!”
The man hurriedly took all of her parchment out of her arms as he hurriedly heard Sestia yelling at him.
I brought a limited amount to propose to other villages as well, but I dedicated them all to Sestia.
The number alone exceeded 10.
“That is all.”
“Yes, I will spread it all over the place on your behalf, so go back now.”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Okay. I will trust only Sestia-nim and leave.”
After all her parchments were robbed, she left her home as a man of the Redscales.
Sestia, who was still in the drawing room, was smiling contentedly as she unfolded the parchment.
Even though only the person’s face was drawn, they seemed to like it.
‘That’s not too bad… ….’
Sestia kept aside the parchment that was in her best condition, and left her maid to keep the rest.
“Hmmm… !”
Sestia calmed her mind by clearing her throat.
Returning to her usual self, she ordered her butler to bring her next guest as her maid in waiting.
At last, a new person entered the parlor.
A lady who entered with a smoking pipe in one hand, had a six-pointed star tattooed on the back of her hand.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Sestia. My name is Karipa of the Magic Tower.”
“When you are done introducing yourself, tell me about your visit.”
“Oh, you are a hot-tempered person, aren’t you?”
“Right. So, if you don’t want to offend me, you’d better follow me.”
In Uran, you are the law.
Sestia put it in her mouth casually, saying that she would have had a seizure if the royal family of Holden had heard it.
That’s why the stake she had in Yuran was so great that it was out of control.
Sestia’s power was in the process of creating a new wind in a city that was almost dying, and growing it to the extent that it was called one of the three cities of pleasure.
That’s why there were overwhelmingly more ardent followers of her than those who rebelled against her Sestia.
“Uh-huh, you are bold! All right, if you come to Yuran, you must follow the laws of Yuran. Then this is my business.”
Like her previous guests, Kharifa pulled something out of her arms.
However, this time it was not parchment, but a badge of the Six Stars stained with blood.
Sestia crumpled her face and glared at Carifa.
“Why are you pointing these nasty things at me?”
“Can you detect the mana contained in this badge?”
“…… Two manas with different properties coexist.”
“Right. One turned out to be the mana of the person who owned this badge, and the Mage Tower estimates that the other is the mana of the murderer.”
As soon as he heard that sound, Vern, who was listening to the tree, frowned.
There was no way to confirm that the badge was in memory, but he was almost certain.
The badge he was wearing, the High Auditor of the Mage Tower, who was first dealt with in the Valley of Mist.
After processing, the corpse and belongings were burned, but there were items that could not be confirmed.
Believing it to be his grave blunder, Bern pressed his forehead with the palm of his hand.
“Hmm, so why did you come to Yuran?”
“As I followed the vague remnants of mana, I felt weak in this city. That’s why I came here to ask for your cooperation.”
“Allen.”
“Did you call?”
A middle-aged butler descended from the ceiling at Cestia’s call.
He was the butler and the person in charge of guarding Sestia.
“Give me the list of all wizards residing in this city.”
“Okay.”
“Oh! Thank you for your quick cooperation!”
“That’s all I can help you with. Look at the roster and go looking for it yourself. And in the process, if you do something that harms the city, you will know without telling me, right?”
“…… That, sure! I will never make a fuss, and I will do it quietly!”
Karifa barely smiles as she crumples her stiff facial muscles.
Even if it was half, the blood of the strongest tribe could never be ignored.
My body froze just by staring at it for a moment.
It had an effect similar to that of petrification only with coercion.
“I wish I knew. Just go back.”
“Yes.”
Karifa immediately performed a small-scale teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
A dragon’s whims are like reeds, so it was a reflection of his heart that he didn’t know what kind of harm he would get if he stayed for nothing.
Meanwhile, Cestia, who was checking the remnants of her magical power at her fingertips, smiled softly.
‘I’m fighting even against the mage tower that even I can’t take care of…… I saw it again a bit.’
One of the magical powers that remained in the badge was what Cestia knew.
She said that she would make her feel even more thrilling pleasure, and it was the mana of the one who adjusted her sensitivity with her magic.
As it was her first unforgettable experience, Sestia remembered his magic to the core.
So she turned her head to the window.
“Since everyone left, why don’t you come out now?”
“I got caught.”
Knock-!
The window opened, and Bern, who was outside, jumped out.
As soon as she saw his face, Cestia’s face turned slightly red.
But she didn’t express herself and continued her story.
“If you think you can fool my eyes, you are very mistaken. Did you know from the start that you were hiding in a nearby tree and eavesdropping?”
“If you knew from the start, why didn’t you tell them when they were looking for me?”
“I still have unfinished business, but I can’t hand it over already.”
“After saying that, he cooperated diligently?”
“I pretended to be cooperative. I’m going to lightly ignore the wanted westerners, and your name isn’t on the list I handed over to the wizard.”
“Oh, I see. Then why did you get all the parchment?”
“That, that… !”
She can’t say that she wants to keep it personally.
I thought it would be strange even if I tried to avert my gaze, so I quickly put my excuses in my mouth.
“I heard that they are wanted in other areas too! If a visitor from a nearby village ever finds you, you’re in trouble!”
“Definitely not.”
“I prevented that in advance. Thank me!”
“Yes, thank you for that.”
Berne smiled and honestly expressed his gratitude.
Seeing his smile, Sestia jerked her head away.
Otherwise, she would have shown him a bright red face.
“Because I will gradually repay her kindness for this incident. Later… ….”
“Pay me now!”
“Now… ?”
“How many times do you think I have seen guys who tried to run away while saying they would pay it back? If you want to return the favor to me, I won’t accept it unless it’s now.”
Uran is the largest gambling city in Korea.
There were many people who wanted to take on collateral or debt because they had no money.
Sestia was the one who had been living in such a place. Vern nodded his head as if he understood.
“Okay. What do you want me to do?”
“Of course it was decided from the beginning, right? Duel me!”
“Like last night?”
“That, not that!”
Bern laughs and Cestia gets angry.
Although he knew everything, he acted meanly.
“The duel I want is to fight bloody! It’s not like we’re bumping each other’s bodies…….”
“Okay. What you want.”
“Hey! I guess you understand now.”
“Instead, if I win the fight, I will attack you mercilessly like last night. Know that.”
“Ugh… !”
It was Cestia, whose fighting power was declining even before the start.
She lose on purpose
I will pray at his grave
Rin and rene will smell this.
