Episode 11 How to Deal with the Enemy

“uh? This?”
Ion was startled and untied the masked man’s clothes.
The sight surprised both Nathan and Galon.
“Prince?”
“You must not touch it prematurely!”
However, Ion ignored it and reached out to the masked man. And what he got was none other than an amulet that looked like a necklace.
It looked too expensive for an assassin to hold.
Of course, he didn’t just reach out for that reason.
‘I hope this is.’
The end of the cross pattern was split.
Still, the pattern of a shield and a pickaxe was drawn on the amulet with a dazzling black jewel embedded in the center.
Galon and Nathan were startled by the appearance of Ian’s object.
It must be an impressive thing as they know it.
“How about that necklace?”
“Isn’t that the emblem of the Marquis Bellona?”
In particular, Nathan, a nobleman, was terrified.
“That’s right! It’s a treasure close to the heirloom of a marquis! Could it be that the marquis was the one who moved these assassins?”
But Ian narrowed his brow.
‘I hope I can get this here.’
This item is [Amulet of the Sky].
It was one of the treasures of the Marquis Bellona, who is said to be the owner of the northern mine, and it was a great item that the head of the household managed directly.
In particular, one of the keys to the succession war in the future.
‘And it’s one of the things I need more than anything else.’
But, not knowing this, Nathan focused on the pattern of the amulet.
He had no choice but to do so.
“Maybe… did you notice the prince’s existence in the Marquis? So he hired an assassin or something.”
The possibilities were sufficient.
“Right now, you are pushing the Crown Prince as a candidate for the throne.”
Did I mention that the only thing that is most useful at this point is the Crown Prince? Then, no matter how royal blood is, Ion, the bastard, is a thorn in his eyes.
Of course he was going to try to get rid of it.
But at the whispers of the knights, Ion shook his head inwardly.
The Marquis of Bellona is a family that contributed to the founding of the country, boasting power that is not inferior to that of the dukes…
‘It is not the work of the marquis.’
That’s right, these guys are the
The clothes you wear or the way you do it.
Armed with special relics and treasures, they could be recognized at a glance.
Besides, the tattoos on the neck are the same.
The pattern of a beast with black wings.
And they are professional assassins who will eventually assassinate even the royal family.
They were madmen who appeared several times in the War of the Succession.
For this reason, Ian, of course, had no choice but to remember.
However.
‘The Marquis has nothing to do with these guys.’
Rather, the marquis will be annihilated by these men later. At the very least, Ion knew who the owner of this secret task force was.
But that was the time.
“I! I will send an investigator to thoroughly investigate the marquis!”
“!”
Seeing the amulet, the centurion approached Ian with an anxious face.
“So, first, give me that amulet. Prince.”
As the centurion reached out, Ian smiled lightly and removed the amulet.
“It sounds like you, the centurion, need to be investigated.”
“uh, what is that?”
The white man, who met Ian’s eyes, was startled and backed away.
But Ian laughed instead of answering.
‘The secret task force is the duke’s.’
Of course, the special task force at this time was not yet the duke’s subordinate. In any case, they were just co-workers.
But Ian knew the duke and the secret task force very well.
‘They must have been caught using the treasures of the marquis.’
I don’t know how he was holding the marquise’s treasure,
Even if they are found out, all of the marquis writers will use Dumtangi.
But yes it was.
“Prince?”
For some reason, Ian smiled and took the amulet to her ear. Manipulating any part of the amulet was a bonus.
Then, the center of the amulet, which was a black gem, gradually began to turn green.
‘Right now, only protection is known.’
With Ian’s laughter, a certain sound began to be heard from the amulet.
[Soon the prince from the bastard will arrive at the Count’s castle. He kills all the mercenaries by his side and hides himself. Don’t touch his soldiers as much as possible.]
There’s no way Ian doesn’t know who the owner of that voice is.
‘The duke’s entourage.’
At the suggestion of the Duke, the voice of a man who would later become Ian’s entourage was heard.
At that voice, Ion laughed as if it was expected.
This amulet made in the magical continent had a hidden function.
One of them is [Memorize].
If it was a magic continent, it was something that could be stored in advance. A treasure from the heavens that wizards risk their lives for.
But if you are someone who can’t use magic like the Swordsman Continent.
[Do you want to do it?]
It could be used as a recorder.
And, perhaps, it was clear that the secret task force had noticed the recording function and recorded it as a weakness for the duke’s family.
‘Yes, but only a few minutes of the most important moment.’
That was enough.
To use it as evidence that the Duke was targeting him and his mercenaries.
And it was then.
“Prince?”
The knights were looking at Ion in bewilderment, wondering if Ion, who was alone with the amulet on his ear, looked strange.
The white man cried out in anger.
“Prince, if you touch the evidence like that…”
But Ian calmly waved the amulet.
“I hear an interesting voice. What is this?”
“What kind of voice…”
The white man who came closer to Ian was startled.
It was because of the familiar voice coming from the amulet.
[So, attack that bastard prince! While attacking, I also kill all the mercenaries.]
[You mean to kill even the prince?]
[Who told you to kill? Frighten me, if I almost died, I’d know something!]
“?!”
The white man’s face turned white.
Because the voice he heard from the amulet was none other than his own.
The white man was literally sweating all over his body.
‘When did these guys do this…’
And Lee Eon, who only listened to the last part of the recording, laughed coldly.
“Did you order it?”
The centurion was crazy and in awe.
Ian’s escort said so, and even if it became known that he had even left evidence that he had conspired with the assassins…
‘I’m really going to die. No one can help.’
It was natural for the white man to tremble all the time.
Nathan, who was quietly listening next to him, said with a smirk.
“Gosh. If the Duke finds out about this, he’ll just die right away. It’s been fun so far. Bye.”
“Oh, no. that is!!”
The white man looked around.
It is only these two who still know this fact.
dump
“I.. please just save me. I just do what I say…”
The white chief shaved his headpounded into the ground
‘Once we get out of this crisis…’
But Ian laughed as if reading the inside.
Then he stuffed something on the white man’s arm.
click
It is a gold-colored, precious-looking bracelet.
Galon was startled.
He didn’t even have time to ask when he took it again.
Neither Nathan nor Galon rarely hated the bracelet on the white man’s wrist.
“Prince? Why?”
“The assassin had it.”
“No, I didn’t mean it…”
Gallon said.
And the centurion froze at the faces of the two knights.
“why. What is this!”
Ian answered in a refreshing way.
“Is this a tool for self-determination by assassins?”
“Yes?!”
“I usually use it for the assassins below. It’s for secrecy.”
“That… what is that?”
Instead of answering, Ian took out a bracelet and a set of rings.
These types of magic tools are the number one contributors to the future secret task force becoming famous.
Of course, there may be a difference in intensity than the future that Ian remembered.
“Do you see this? It’s connected to that bracelet, and when you press it, the bracelet you’re wearing bangs!”
“Aww!”
The white jang cut off his ass.
No matter how young Ion was, it never sounded like a joke.
“There was an incident where assassins rushed into our estate. I know. If you want, can I show you a demonstration?”
“no! You need to… No! Who knows how to believe such a foolish lie…”
Nathan, who was next to me, added a word.
“Wow! Is this real? What do you do? If you don’t solve it, you’re in big trouble.”
“··········!”
When Nathan said so, the centurion froze.
Still, what Nathan said was completely different from credibility.
As he was mobilized for many dangerous missions, he must have encountered assassins frequently.
The white man, who read those eyes, prayed to Ion.
“I will do anything. Please… please release me.”
Ian smiled a kind-hearted smile.
He mixed half of his lies, but he should have no problem catching him. Of course, it was surprising that Sir Nathan accepted his words, but he said them.
“Do not worry. In the future, as long as you follow the instructions carefully, I will show you how to release it.”
Far from releasing Ian, he put a ring on his finger that served as a detonator. Seeing it, the white man really felt like the sky was turning yellow.
It’s like being a slave to Ian, not anyone else.
That was when the white man was sighing.
‘great. I got a spy with this.’
He obtained some magic tricks for the secret special operation together with the later author’s
But there was something more important than them.
‘Why did you tell me to kill all the mercenaries?’
A few people would have been enough to frighten Ion. But was it necessary to annihilate the entire mercenary corps?
‘Maybe there is something in this mercenary that I don’t know.’
That was very likely.
The peacock never wastes his mind on meaningless things.
Because if only I can get my hands on it before the peacock destroys it.
It will definitely help.
‘First, investigate the mercenaries. And if it exists…’
i will have
*
The battle is over. The investigation has been over for a while.
The party cleaned up the surroundings and started moving towards the peacock house again.
Ian overheard others while riding in the carriage.
“By the way, I never really thought that a marquise would have done such a thing.”
“Iknow, right. kingIsn’t that a family with a crown prince? But, I guess the war of succession had already begun…”
The situation in which the [Amulet of the Sky], which was already the treasure of Galon, Nathan, and the Marquis, was confirmed. Everyone pointed to the marquise as the culprit.
However, Ian did not correct that it was incorrect information.
‘A fight between the marquis and the dukes. And in the meantime, there is definitely a benefit.’
No matter how inferior to a duke, he is a royalist. Of course, he couldn’t get along with the noble Duke of Pine.
Of course, the Marquis is related by blood to the Crown Prince.
He later became his own great enemy, but…
‘Hoo writer hopefully he could be a negotiator.’
The Marquis Writer’s Amulet of the Sky has been obtained.
Then Nathan approached me in a wagon.
“You are very sad. In just a few more days, the duke’s house will appear.”
“Is that so?”
He was smiling as if he wanted to be friends.
But Ian ignored it and closed the window of the carriage.
‘It’s unfortunate. Why do you keep pretending to be close to me?’
Of course, he knew well that Nathan was capable enough to become the Duke’s enemy.
The first day you enter the duke’s residence at the very least.
‘It’s good to have someone of my own before I have an entourage.’
The day you enter the duke’s residence, the first night you experience something terrible.
‘But I still don’t know if it’s reliable.’
The figure of Nathan, who was following the third prince and trying to kill himself, was clear.
Even his face was red, as if he had deliberately picked up poison and ate it. Compared to Gallon, it felt like it was going to be annoying.
How many days did you travel like that?
“Tomorrow, we will arrive at the Duke’s residence.”
“!”
Arrived at the duke’s residence, where the first night of trouble will take place.
And as soon as the mercenaries arrive at the dukedom. They were supposed to leave when the contract ended.
That means today is the last day.
While Ian was friendly with the mercenaries, he visited them for the last time to say hello.
But an unexpected person spoke to him.
“Prince. I have something to tell you.”
That was none other than the mercenary commander Gerard.
No, it wasn’t over.
“Thank you so much for saving my life. Prince Ian…”
There was also Line, the youngest member of the mercenary group, who saved his life at the hands of Ion.
He was still barely able to move with his crutches, but fortunately there were no sequelae, so he probably won’t be lame in this lifetime.
Line knows it or not. He was expressing his sincere gratitude to Ian.
“But what are you going to say?”
“I have something important to tell you.”
‘Is it important?’
There was something strange, but there was nothing wrong with hearing it.
“Tell me.”
It was when Ian saw Gerard.
dump
“!”
Gerard suddenly knelt down to Ian.
Then, he took out an object in his arms that he had been fiddling with without being able to take it out before.
“Take this… take this.”
