Strange Winds and the Warlock’s Mansion (6)
She came out of the bedroom after hearing the commotion, and her eyes were drowsy.
“·················ogue.”
“How are you doing this late? We are not ignorant of the power he enjoyed on earth, but this is a black market. And this is my home.”
The woman said in a dignified manner.
His shoulders and skin were too revealing, so the servants lying on the floor didn’t know what to do.
But Morhan and Werner did not blink an eye.

One had no hesitation because he did not reveal his true self to anyone, and the other did not care because he had no interest in anything other than himself.
Werner tidied up his messy hair with his left hand.
“Whoa….”
Although his appearance was shabby, it was not difficult to determine his origin from the white back of his hands and well-manicured nails.
It was a precious body that had never been born and had never done any errands or chores.
The man didn’t even look at the shattered teacup.
A slightly calmer voice came out.
“I heard that a large amount of high-grade mana stones came into the mansion.”
“Is that so. I fell asleep early and could not hear.”
“… Cutting off the devil’s claws is a feat that cannot be postponed even for a moment, so do you mean that you fall asleep so easily?”
“It’s crazy, but it takes time to check the quality of the Manastone and melt it. Also, the mansion’s warlocks, including me, must always be at their best. No matter what happens, I don’t stay up all night.”
Morhan nodded stiffly. Werner only grinded his teeth inwardly.
If this place had been a prosperous place, he would have gotten what he wanted even by tortured the author by doing things below him (of course, he’s a merciful person, so he won’t slap his hand in the first place).
However, this was not his domain.
He was now running away from his daughter’s grasp, and he had no intention of entrusting her to her until he knew exactly what her sister meant.
Even the lord of Yeri, who occasionally offered gifts to me, abandoned the castle and ran away.
So I had to buy myself.
“·················ogue.”
I had to keep an eye on it in moderation, and I had to take into account the fact that progress was slow if there was nothing to give right away.
Morhan wanted his power.
To be precise, he wanted him to hand over the ownership of the Jeriho Monastery to him in the name of the king.
In addition, the title of nobility was a bonus.
It was a priceless price compared to Werner’s beautiful and perfect limbs, but it took time to make her wish come true anyway.
Suddenly, a knife stood in the chocolate eyes.
“Then, as soon as the sun rises,”
“master! Master, oh my! It’s a big deal!”
– Come and go!
At that moment, someone smirked behind Morhan’s back.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the newly-appearing servant.
Some took the opportunity and quickly wrapped a blanket around the warlock’s shoulders.
The atmosphere quickly became bustling. The one who fell jumped up like a dwarf.
“No, I’m sorry for talking to you! It’s a riot now, a riot!”
“What’s going on? Calm down and tell me.”
“There was an intruder in my first warehouse! At first, I thought it was no big deal because the alarm went off for a while, but it was said that an advanced manastone had arrived, so I thought I needed to be careful, so I went!”
“I’m curious about the main point.”
“Ahh······! The Manastone Box was empty!”
‘I’m really sorry!’ The woman bent over and shouted.
Berner’s eyes widened. Morhan lightly wrinkled the freckled bridge of his nose.
The servants now almost played the game.
“Hey, what are you talking about! Does it mean that our warehouse has been robbed by outsiders? What are the mercenaries doing in the meantime?!”
“Oh no! No, it’s because there’s a hole this size in the Manastone Box! It was said that the cut door leaf was knocked outward. I wrapped it up with chains to prevent someone from stealing precious mana stones, but even that was cut down…!”
“Oh my God, that’s from the perfume shop Alica!”
“What? So you mean Alika cheated on us? You said you hid the robber inside and brought it back?!”
There was an explosion of noise in that sentence.
Servants in pajamas ran out of the hallway, and those who were guarding Berner’s back exchanged anxious glances.
Soon murmurs and bewilderment filled the room.
Guk-seo, who understood the situation, raised Barak’s voice.
“How pathetic you are! I was expecting what kind of ability I would show because of my best skills in front of this body, but is it your vessel to be robbed or robbed in the house? What is this…!”
“I don’t mind. Please wait.”
Whirlik! Morhan immediately took the wand from his sleeve and lifted it.
The eyes looking back at the servants were as bitter as a sack wind.
The sensual voice had sharp thorns.
“You go to the spice shop right now and get Alica. No matter what happens, you have to put your life on the line. Also close all doors on the black market so no one can go in and out. It’s curfew time right now, so if there’s a guy wandering around, even if there’s nothing suspicious, catch them all. This is an order issued by the owner of the mansion.”
“Yes, Nari!”
“All right!”
“Are there no signs of anyone else coming and going?”
“Even so, I checked all the sentries, but it is said that they did not see any suspicious ones. There were no footprints!”
“You’re still in my house…”
Her eyes were terribly dark.
His gaze, which had been counting the distance for a moment, returned to the gun again.
“Search all five of you from warehouse 2 to warehouse 4. They must have been hiding to steal valuables. Be sure to bring at least two warlocks with you. And you.”
Whoops, my dry throat turned like a machine. Her eyes were like empty marbles.
The servants bowed their heads in excitement.
“Come to the ‘mine’ with me.”

Kristel Langbuye was quick to judge.
When asked if he had good judgment, he couldn’t say with certainty.
But anyway, it was ‘quick’.
Because she wasn’t the type to think twice, and she didn’t hesitate for long.
If I thought about it more difficult, somehow I felt like things got more twisted.
When he thought that this was the right path and there was no other alternative, Ga-in unconditionally stepped on the accelerator. I didn’t know about reverse or neutral gear.
It was a very essential skill for now.
– Dalkadak!
The hand that put the glass down was sullen.
“Then go ahead and dry it yourself, Mr. Noe.”
“······What?”
The informant raised his eyes in surprise. She was lying in the middle of a busy desk.
It was in a much better state than when it spewed out rotten ether, but there was still no strength in its limbs.
Ga-in continued to rummage through her bag.
“If Madame Morhan was like Noe’s younger brother and was the only family member, then Noe is the only one who can stop him now. It’s not enough that he’s been doing bad things all his life on the black market, and now he’s helping other evildoers as well. We don’t know what kind of tactic they’ve devised, but if it succeeds, it’ll be beneficial to the guy we’re trying to catch. I never see anything like that.”
“·················ogue.”
“Ah, here you go! This is a drug that my drinking buddy personally participated in development. It is said that if you drink it, your strength will rise and your fatigue will go away.”
sparkle! Cain pulled out a perfume bottle-like thing from the bag.
The Crown Prince, who had been watching silently, spoke.
“Are you talking about François Duhem?”
“yes. I gave the drug a name. The continent’s representative fatigue relieving agent, ‘Bacchus’.”
“·················ogue.”

Oh, it’s not fun. If it had been the king, I would have immediately understood what drip it was!
She rubbed her mouth and raised her voice.
It felt strange to force a child to accompany him, but in fact, Mr. Noe said that he had lived for hundreds of years.
So, wouldn’t it be okay to ask an adult like this?
Isn’t the situation the situation?
“Empty this and let’s go down together. yes?”
“…I’ve done it all, sweetheart.”
Noe took the vial and whispered like a sigh. Demi tilted her head.
“He is no longer the angel I knew.”
“Hey, don’t do that…”
“You still don’t know what that stone is?”
the priest asked sadly. Ga-in quickly exchanged glances with Cedric.
Alica’s voice, the perfume shop, buzzed in her head.
‘Originally, there was an ugly stone stuck there? There is a legend that if you touch it, the dead will come back to life, and the eyes of the blind will be opened.’
‘Look, that tree had a priest friend. They say they eventually twisted the priest into betraying the tree.’
If it was a stone, it meant that stone that was embedded in the knot of the god ‘Devil’s Claw’.
I heard that Noe-san fell for his brother’s trick and took it out.
It is said that Morhan then said to her:
‘There are teachers who teach me magic, sister. I’ll ask them to take it and analyze it. If it’s part of a tree, you’ll know what disease it is.’
‘Is that still okay? What if I remove it and the toenail hurts more? Even now, it makes a crying sound, but in case I die…’
‘Hey, that’s a huge tree. What’s supporting the whole black market? it’s okay.’
‘··········.’
‘I won’t force you. I’ll leave all the decisions to my sister. But if my sister makes a covenant with me as a priest, I’ll probably trust her and give it to her. And you can trust me.’
‘But the paladin-sama of the monastery….’
‘only me.’
Around that time, the informant was going back and forth between the aboveground monastery and the underground black market to take care of the toenails.
Madame Morhan was growing up and becoming an adult.
She was noticed and taught by a group of wizards staying on Lake Yeri, but at the time, Noe-san said that she really didn’t know anything.
He was too naive and too young to know such a secret. I was also overly busy.
·············· My dear younger brother must have been learning ‘black magic’.
Behind him, there must have been a group that corroded the tree.
“You made a promise with Claw to return the stone in three days, but you said that you were punished for not keeping it.”
“okay.”
Noe replied weakly. Ga-in frowned and traced her memory.
“then······. Isn’t that what it is? What did you say? A jewel embedded in all gods. For example, in Biryeom’s Ark, morning glory-colored gems are embedded, and Mars’s sword is embedded with red gems like rubies. Those stones must also be gems embedded in the sacred ‘Heroic Spirit of Iran’.”
And in Cain, the blessing of Changhae itself resided.
At least, she could be said to be an expert in the field of sacred jewels.
However, Noe’s expression was strange.
“I thought so too.”
“yes?”
“At first I too… When I found out that toenails were sick, I thought maybe the stone was a phўsis.”
“That’s right, Phish. OMG. But that wasn’t it?”
A heart-like existence that condensed divine power. Physis.
The shrine of trees, the same earth attribute god, also had emerald jewels in its body.
Cedric narrowed the brow when spraying.
“…was it not a jewel but a fruit?”
“It feels good, handsome boy.”
The girl laughed bitterly. The large eyes were once again brimming with moisture.
“It wasn’t the Claw’s heart, it was divine magic.”
At that moment, their partner’s voice hit their ears.
‘Has vitality, purifying power, and the ability to cause a frenzy. I wrote it down smartly in the past.’
“······Then the vitality, no. That was the time when a lot of toenails had already been taken away. Then the power of purification,”
“jazz.”
The priest quietly dug into the back of the horse. Blue-gray eyes widened.
“It was a nightmare with frantic powers. There really was no other way to explain it…”
·········.
“All those who dared to devour it, covet it, and crave it have gone mad. Most of them were black market warlocks.”
Noe’s story continued.
Up until that time, the Warlocks, which had only been one of the main forces in the black market, suffered from madness for their karma for touching the fruit of ‘Iran’.
Thanks to his insanely exploding talent, he quickly established himself as the dominant force in the underground.
But it wasn’t just their skills that went wild.
Violence that calls for blood, a storm of wild emotions. loss or separation of personality. numerous suicides.
Insomnia and seizures…
“Oh my gosh. Then Morhan…”
“Of course, that child was included.”
The young voice cracked.
‘Only once, I had a chance to meet him up close and face-to-face.’
“You didn’t recognize me.”
“·················ogue.”
“Knowing my existence and remembering me, but unable to connect the younger me and the past me. Instead of improving the madness, does it deepen…”
“ah······.”
Finally, a single tear fell down her weary cheeks.
“The child was imprisoned for eternity. with me.”
For blaspheming the supreme blasphemy—
– Bump! Quadrant!
“Excuse me for being late!”
– Hey!
“ah! Grandpa! You were surprised!”
Cain jumped out of his seat. Demi also jumped from Cedric’s shoulder.
‘Sureung!’ The man immediately drew the dagger from his boots and aimed at the door.
Even today, the owner of the tavern, who entered rudely every day, was spewing steam with his red-hot bulbous nose.
I was so immersed in it, I burst into tears at the sight.
After you slept, how much more medicinal wine did you drink!?
“Guests! It’s a big deal, there’s a lot of chaos down there!”
“yes?”
My heart pounded at those words.
‘Saek!’ Sedric approached the old man in an instant and glared at him as if to kill him.
“What’s going on?”
“Hey, there’s a buzz about the black market being shut down! It’s not just access control! I heard that someone had an accident in the Salt Pillar area, but it’s a yard where vigilantes are being caught one after another, so some of them feel like they can’t get past the dawn of the day. But didn’t the guests go down too?!”
Alas, our palace lord has already done one thing! The flagship, Ga-in, clenched her front teeth.
And before she makes her next decision—
– Flash!
“What is this…!”
“Be quiet.”
Sedric, who lifted Noe like a luggage, hurriedly escaped the confessional.
The water droplets opened their mouths for a moment.
“Well, let’s go!”
Then he grabbed the bottle of Bacchus that was lying around and quickly followed behind him.
Uh, I love your judgment! Admit this!
