Devil’s Claw, The Wrecks of the Depths (11)
– Dumpling! Tuoung! Taang!
“み!”
Billion, I will run away from the tailbone! The box handling is too much!
I managed to hold back my moan while holding on to Loffy.
Inside the wooden box with no seat belts, the other three men did not even breathe.
I glanced at Sir John in the seat next to me.
It was firmly supporting the top and sides with its elongated limbs, and it was a strength that I, as an ordinary office worker, could not dare to imitate.
How can you not even move?
-Quick profit…
huh? Crazy, it goes!
– Whoa!
Whoops!
“Hey, put it down! Those are nothing but high-level magic stones!”
“Aiko! Don’t tell me too soon, Alica!”
The perfume shop owner clicked his tongue and shouted, and there was a sound of astonishment from the staff.
But the inside of the box was several times more serious chaos.
Fortunately, it only rolled half a lap, otherwise someone might have been seriously injured inside.
If Ran hadn’t held on, the lid would have been opened!
“Ugh, damn it. Who is this heavy? Are you a pig with glasses too?”
Hey, don’t attack yourself! I moaned on top of a human crepe cake.
Lofi, who got out of his arms in an instant, bravely climbed on my back.

On the bottom floor, there was an air attribute uninvited guest, and directly above Jibril Dioff.
In the midst of a nerve war between him and I, Sir Johan focused only on the presence of the outside world.
When I saw that, I felt like I had become a bunch of places that interfered with the adult’s work.
He quickly closed his lips. Alica’s voice soon followed.
“…that’s right. It’s just, it’s so sensitive that I can’t even speak. I threw away a box while packing!”
“Oh My God!”
“It is said that the more powerful mana is around, the better the quality, but I don’t know if that’s true. I heard it by ear from a business partner.”
said the woman naturally. This was the line we had pre-specified.
If this is the case, it might be possible to get closer to the room of ‘Madam Morhan’, who is the head of the warlocks.
Wouldn’t it be better to go through the main temple if you have to go down?
“If it were you, that would be it, Alika. Anyway, thank you very much.”
“I thought the black market was going to run out. You keep telling me you don’t have enough mana stones, ahh. I wanted to go far outside of Lake Yeri.”
“Well, I’m not the type of person who has bad connections.”
“It’s great! This is the best, no problem!”
The workers were genuinely relieved.
Shortly thereafter, the owner of the spice shop left the mansion.
Although he would be shocked if the contents of the box were discovered, his attitude was very relaxed with the sound of footsteps.
I stuck my tongue out inwardly.
With such a large distribution, he must have survived until now after having been in business for 30 years in a place like this.
-Pumpkin, squash, squash…
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
Under the familiar darkness, Sir John’s pupils were emitting a stout spirit.
Also, this atmosphere was a little scary. I glanced at the air gently.
“Then let’s move on. You’ve already eaten in your bedroom, so let’s go to the first warehouse!”
“okay. You can check it as soon as you wake up in the morning. It’s right in front of you.”
“Be careful! If you open the lid and all the magic stones are broken, we will be broken too.”
– Dumpling, rattling!
Whoops! The box moved once in a big way. We started moving somewhere again.
In the swaying square, only Lofi was enjoying the exquisite balance.
-Tump-tuk-tuk, tump-too-tup-dump…
“I look forward to it.”
Ran, who supported the weight of the three men, whispered quietly.
I don’t know what to expect, I’m just nervous…
*
A few minutes, no. How many minutes have you moved?
– Bullfight!
It’s a surprise! I fell asleep and woke up to the shock of the box hitting the floor.
Loffy patted his shoulder like a bruise.
If I asked him if he would fall asleep in this situation, he would have nothing to say, even if he had ten mouths, but it felt strangely slow.
No matter how diligently I waited and waited, the box did not arrive anywhere.
It was late at night and with someone I could trust with me, I relaxed and finally closed my eyes.
I hurriedly wiped the corners of my mouth—but I didn’t drool—and my ears perked up.

Outside, the workers were wiping their hands.
Are you all here? Is this the first warehouse?
“Everyone worked hard. Go and change.”
“Uh-huh. It’s very heavy. Alica doesn’t know how she dragged this alone. Power is good.”
“Really, did you receive our Manastone Guarantee?”
“ah! I forgot that.”
“Let’s talk to Joe in the morning. Then the youngest there will go to the spice shop.”
“Uh-huh.”
I let out a long sigh.
It seemed that all boundaries would be strict in such a great mansion, but in reality it was the exact opposite.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed to be due to the black magic in the salt pillar area.
It was impossible to enter this place unless it was a ‘chosen guest’ like a senior warlock or Alica, so everyone seemed to believe in it and work comfortably.
There is no reason why the order of the black market, which has been running for a thousand years, will be suddenly overturned.
Today will be different though.
“Who has the key?”
“me.”
“Who wants to go eat gingerbread?”
“me!”
The workers exchanged conversations about late-night meals and allowances, then closed the warehouse door and left.
thud! Clap Clap Clap Clap! The loud noise of the locks filling my ears pierced my ears.
We waited a few more seconds after that, and then moved around only when everyone disappeared across the hallway.
First, push out the box lid…
“uh?”
Why isn’t this open?
– Chunkyung! Cuckoo Clap Clap! Iron jerk!
“·················ogue.”
It was then that I understood the situation. While moving the box, it was tied with chains.
while I was sleeping!
“If you allow me, I will open it. Because we can’t afford each other.”
Sir John moves immediately, Ran faster.
He had a very calm voice, even as he was crushed by the size of Diop.
It seems that I am the only one having the most difficulty among the four.
“That one?”
“Since then, it uses a little bit of power.”
Then he pulled something shiny out of his pocket.
I flinched because I thought it was a sword, but when I narrowed my eyes, I saw that it was a round silver coin.
It was something I had seen outside the mansion earlier. What are you going to do with that-
-Tsutsutsu…!
Whoa, the coin pierced the box lid like a chainsaw!
– Tsutsutsutsu…!
“Those who are not familiar with the properties of air tend to regard us easily. I’m terrified of what I can do with power I can’t see.”
– Whoops!
‘But a well-honed wind is sharper than a blade.’ The man gently explained it like a liberal arts professor.
Coins covered with a sharp membrane were diligently sprinkling sawdust on their way.
The smell of burning iron and wood vibrated in front of his nose.
I am probably one of the people who knows best about the greatness of the air attribute on the continent, but once I nodded my head.
Because I had to act like a normal person who didn’t know anything about ether.
-·······Tsuts, Tsutsutsutsutsu!
And finally, the coin depicting the garden stopped moving.
As the man reached out his hand, the silver coin flew away and hid in the palm of his hand.
This is the stealth method you see in some spy movie, uh huh! The lid goes over!
-Tok!
“Huh…”
A large door leaf fell lightly like a fingernail. This time it was the power of Sir John.
I hurriedly got up and walked out of the box.
Lofi also raised his tail and followed me.
The warehouse was also gloomy, but there were many things to see because of the yellow magic lighting.
It was about 100 sq.
The pointed glass roof was supported by dozens of metal pipes instead of wooden beams, and the cupboards in the corners were filled with bottles that could be troublesome if touched.
At first glance, there were experimental tools that looked like motorcycle helmets.
Some sections were duplex, and at the top, a huge spinning wheel and a spring were spinning together like one body.
There was an occasional creaking mechanical sound.
Looking at the hour hand with the number 25 on it, it was a little past 1 am. Naturally, his mouth opened wide.
I felt it the first time I came down to the black market, but this place doesn’t look like a real Toegye Gong.
No, to be precise…
– Nyaa
“yes.”
I can’t believe Toegye Gong contains so many references.
It’s very strange, but that’s what I thought.
The backgrounds, props, and people that do not appear in the original work…
What does it mean to have all this in front of my eyes? Is this really all ‘official settings’?
“You have brown eyes. Why are you hiding? Is it fashionable these days?”
Startle. I shrugged and looked to the side.
But Sir John was many times faster than me!
He was already blocking my way, so I couldn’t see the face of the outsider.
It was only after a few seconds had passed that I realized the man’s meaning and was astonished.
I groped my eyes to see if I had missed my glasses, but François’ invention was sitting on the back of my nose.
Did you spy on the side of the hedgehog?!
“I wish I could just turn it off.”
“Oh, was it private? Excuse me for this.”
Sir John growled lowly, and the man responded softly.
Meanwhile, D.O.P was looking around and frowned.
He must have been a wizard, so he might have felt the unpleasant black magic energy here.
I put the robe hood on even deeper.
“Then, I hope to see you again. Thank you for the win.”
Soon, such a greeting was heard from over Herrit’s father’s shoulder.
When I lifted the stiletto, Mr. Lan was already breaking the door of the warehouse with coins.
Her long purple-gray hair reached her chin, and her half-tied hair was tied once more with a metal braid at the end.
The large-sleeved, round attire was the attire of a nobleman in a new country that looked like it was painted.
For what purpose did a person who seems to lack nothing infiltrate this place?
I glanced at him and politely knocked on Sir John’s back.
The cardinal looked down at me and let out a silent sigh.
The tips of his hair, which was standing upright, were also slowly sinking.
“Edelweiss, shouldn’t we also go along? We need to find him before the warlock captain comes to see us.”

Of course, it would be best to find Werner Penetian.
At my words, Sir John silently shook his head.
I wondered why he was setting up the day like this, but it didn’t seem like a topic to ask right away.
Instead, I checked the François belt tied around everyone’s waist.
Just having this gave me a lot of peace of mind. Lofi looked up at us and cried ‘Nyao’.
It seemed to mean hurry.
“Hey, Ran has already left!”
There’s a big hole in the warehouse door too!
“Heineken, don’t worry too much about him. I am a paladin of the new kingdom.”
“Yes?”
I was dumbfounded, so I closed my eyes. do i mean when?
“I tend to be a bit lenient with people who meet my aesthetic standards.”
“·················ogue.”
“Kukkuk. It’s good to see your face.”
‘Why are you stabbed?’ Lightning Palnanbong giggled and scoffed. Roffy let out a picky nose.
His cheeks were burning hot because he was making fun of anyone who looked at him.
I strode forward, pretending not to hear, and looked over the hole in the door.
“·······Huh?”
And widened his chin. For a moment, I wondered if I wasn’t awake yet.

-Kugugu Palace…
wow! what kind of mess is this!
“No, the entire hallway…”
The whole hallway is moving!
-Gugugugugu…
I caressed Roffy—he patted me on the cheek with his tail and gave me a hug—with shock and astonishment.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt my legs tremble after training in the cold season.
The wide, long hallway was slipping away in front of my eyes.
The vacancy was quickly filled by another hallway. The direction in which it flew was also different.
A cuboid space perfectly equipped with the hallway and ceiling as well as both walls approached us, falling from the top or rising from the bottom.
If you forget, there were also hallways that appeared diagonally. I was cold!
-Gugugugugu…
“That’s a lot of magic. Even if my uncle and my uncle work together, we can’t win this.”
“·················ogue.”
“Perhaps it would be difficult to even mobilize Duke Blanquere and Admiral Corleone to the Imperial Battle Wizards. Because it is not at the level of mana that a human can possess. I don’t know if it’s an Archmage.”
I was speechless at such an evaluation.
I gulped as I watched the flight of the terrifying corridors.
Madame Morhan is drawing such a tremendous amount of vitality from the gods and using it.
Even though it’s a warlock’s mansion, this has crossed the line.
– Sussuk, Sussuk, Sussuk…
-Kurreung…
The entry itself is also difficult. The alleyway to make a lost child was not enough!
“Do not set foot even as a joke.”
Sir Johann looked at Diop and warned him.
He shrugged and looked out the doorframe. Man, then your neck will fly away!
“Careful!”
Whoops! He quickly grabbed his hair with both hands.
Confucius was dragged along with his arrogant image.
‘Ahhh! Aren’t you going to let this go?’ Seeing him irritable like a tree frog made me cry too.
The situation looks like this, are you thinking about it?
“Tell me what you did well.”
-Goo…
From https://noblemtl.com
Ok?
“What just happened? The hallway we passed a while ago.”
I asked, throwing away the fur of the dog I was holding in my hand. Sir John tilted his head.
“Why?”
“Shit!”
“The end of the hallway was not facing this way. The direction is about 45 degrees sideways. So it seemed impossible to access from this side.”
“If I become bald, will the palace lord be in charge? Look at the hair loss!”
“It is.”
“It tingles down to the inside of your scalp. Who would take this kind of hair as a companion?”
“That’s not all.”
I added later. There was no time to worry about who was on the local TV station or not.
Because what I saw wasn’t an illusion.
“There are portraits of two people hanging in that hallway… Where did you see the face? It was just a quick glance, but it’s for sure. Really.”
“Does Heineken know?”
“Yes, Edelweiss-sama too.”
I said bitterly. Then the mint-colored eyes became thin for a moment.
“… it was Mr. Noe. Noe-san, who has an adult form.”
