Go straight for the dragon king! (2)
Three days have passed since then, without any problems.
Today is the birthday of my esteemed Majesty Frederick.
So it’s a very important day for us.
– Nyao
“Shh.”
– beep
“Shh.”
– Ooh
“Shh.”
– Tok tok
“coo. up to you?”
I hung my two gods and two gods all over my body, and poked my head out the door.
They also showed their curiosity by pulling their heads out.
There was a square name tag on my left chest.
It was a sign that only guild members who had enemies in the chamber could wear it.
‘Heineken’.
······ Now it really feels like a draft beer.

Our Crown Prince still doesn’t know what his pseudonym means.
If you know that, you probably won’t leave Ga-in and me alone.
“Hmm, let’s see.”
I let go of my thoughts and focused on the task in front of me again.
The internal structure of the Barun-Atsuma Guild Chamber had a corner that resembled a caravanserai in the neutral zone.
The second floor was a corridor style with a hole in the middle, so the first floor could be seen clearly, and from the third floor the ceiling was blocked by a thick wall like an ordinary building.
This allowed us to observe the lobby and get a detailed picture of the population and cargo flow over time.
The location of the tailgate and the location of the ‘hidden tailgate’, the sentry shift cycle. The number of stairs leading to the basement.
Even the time of appearance of ‘The Armored Overseer’ that Alain mentioned.
In particular, Sir John was a man who lived his life as a mercenary.
Two days were enough to figure out the secrets of this building.
In order to put an end to a group that is not known, thorough preparation is required.
Especially if we are strangers and the organization is a secret society.
“…So, you said you couldn’t pay the balance?”
“Of course! I received something like that, is the relationship serious? The one at the bottom of the box is very crumbly…”
“Child, you still won’t look at me…”
“done! I also suffered the same thing from that person when I was younger…”
The first floor was crowded with people today.
Bareun Viscountryung is a very sparsely populated land, but as we descended in the direction of Atsuma, there were always at least dozens of people in the chamber.
What is special about this place is the fact that the ground floor is still functioning as a chamber despite the existence of such a terrible secret room underground.
I guessed maybe Baron Atsuma was aiming for that part.
No one would have thought that the bodies of the people of Barun and the people of the realm were piled up in this place on the border between Barun and Atsuma.
Because no one really would have imagined that such a cruel thing would happen in this place, where dozens of ordinary merchants and customers come and go every day.
‘Then maybe… The freight wagons we saw wouldn’t have been loaded with ordinary cargo.’
‘Then this place is no different than the baron’s base.’
Prince Sedric’s voice made a ripple in his mind.
Yeah, it’s really bad. How can you do a mean trick like this?
“. I see Tess.”
I finally found Tess who had reached the lobby and sighed.
The courageous Herit and Joan could only come out when she wasn’t there.
The inside of the ark is very cozy and there is plenty of water and food, but aside from that, it was important for Herit to spend time with his father.
Even if Joan is such a good aunt for a child.
I quickly put the wren into the room, then casually walked out into the hallway again.
It was never a walk alone, it was just a time to play a good priest in a public place.
Just like Tess is now pretending to be a wealthy tobacco dealer on the first floor.
His gaze on the back of his head was as hot as an electric blanket in the middle of winter, but he steadfastly ignored it.
“I will leave the door open. Don’t worry too much, it’s right in front of you.”
Namjoo, take care of your conscience.
When you or Sir John are by your side, no one can approach you because you are afraid.
“Which one makes you unable to take your eyes off me?”
Then, the low-pitched sound of melted dark chocolate came back from the window.
I thought it was a reading saga, but he had been holding on to the same page for over ten minutes.
It wasn’t a very small book, but it was like a miniature book in his hand.

Over the past three days, we’ve struggled a bit with a new balance.
Without Ga-in, communication was not smooth. It was the same with Sir John.
“I’m sorry, but I’m the older brother.”
make an impression Why waste a handsome face and cause a national loss?
“huh.”
The snoring returned immediately.
I was going to reply right away, but that didn’t seem right, so I quit.
I’m sorry hyung isn’t good at acting, but if you’re in a hurry to the bathroom, I’ll definitely say it out loud.
Can you please don’t give it to me in the presence of people?
“Hmm. Hmm.”
Then he leaned against the railing and pretended to read the Bible.
Not long after, people passing by the hallway greeted me.
All of them were those whom Tess had covered with sugar cubes in the past few days.
She had such a good eyesight, and selected only those who looked the most modest among many people, and said, ‘Don’t talk about us.’
That included the chamber gatekeepers who let us in.
Even Cedric, a member of the royal family, admired her for seeing people, so he said it all.
“Hello, priest.”
“hello.”
As planned, our rumors spread very cheaply and quickly.
‘The combination of a priest and a merchant that seems to have a story.’
‘These people who came up here because Yeri-ho collapsed and had nowhere to go.’
‘People who seem to be chased.’ ‘Four men and women in a strange relationship.’
There was no such thing as a cheap price.
“Hey, you are reading the Bible today. You must be very faithful.”
“ha ha ha. It’s just normal.”
“Rumor has it that our Baron Atsuma has also heard the story of the priest. The baron is a person who treats the priests very graciously. Besides, you said that you are a healing priest, so sooner or later you will be hosting a splendid supper for the priest. You can look forward to it!”
I smiled and nodded my head.
Yes, the time has come for the baron to start talking about us.
Thank you for discounting expensive cigarettes and talking.
If possible, it’s best for that person to call me tonight.
“is that so? It seems that the baron is a faithful man.”
“Oh, it has to be. His daughter was seriously ill in the past…”
As if the two merchants were waiting, the chatter started. This was familiar information.
Baron Atsuma and her sickly only daughter.
I pretended it was the first time I had heard of it and raised the corners of my lips softly.

Of course, his eyes did not stop and looked at the trend downstairs.
It’s 3:56 now, so a new carriage will come in a little while. Exactly yesterday and the day before.

Only the cargo box went down to the basement through the back door, and the new experimenters went through the lobby to the north stairs…
“You suffered for a long time back then, right? Come to think of it, has it been three or four years since the princess has been healthy?”
“I will. Oh, we also have children, so you know that feeling. Even when the kids come outside with their knees off, their stomachs burn and their blood dries up. Besides, the Baron lost two of them earlier, so how…”
Wait, what? I blinked and looked at the merchants.
This was the beginning of the article.
“Excuse me, but what you just said…”
“Ouch. Can I say something like this to someone from abroad?”
The group outlet representatives pretended to be late.
Through the half-open door of the dormitory, I could feel the prince paying attention.
I opened my mouth as naturally and skillfully as possible.
In this case, you should also show a normal reaction.
“If it’s an uncomfortable topic, you don’t have to explain it. I’m curious, but I can’t help it.”
“Hey! It’s not uncomfortable.”
“You are such a beautiful and devout person, of course it’s okay! In fact, our baron…”
Yes, I got caught!
“Once upon a time, when you were young. You miscarried twice.”
“ah······.”
The two lowered their voices.
“It was originally a secret, but it became known when my father-in-law passed away at a young age. When he heard that the second child had been miscarried, he passed away on the spot, and after that, he passed away for a year or three.”
“Three years? After being ill for four years. The third princess died after only seeing the birth of the princess. At that time, there was no riot in the whole Youngji. Even thinking about it now, the baron was really bad.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to live sane. So, how much money did you donate when raising a princess…”
That was then.
– Dumpling! Quick profit…!
The front door of the chamber we had entered opened slowly with a heavy moan.
By the way, it was time for the freight wagon to arrive.
Since Bareun Viscount will no longer send Young Ji-min’s body to the Atsuma Cemetery, it was clear that he was carrying the corpse and other laboratory supplies he had obtained from other sources.
Participants disguised as merchants from various places must have been brought along. And all underground…
uh?
– Cheokkeng, Cheokkeng, Cheokkeng, Cheokkeng!
Contrary to my expectations, there were no cargo boxes in the procession that opened the door.
None of the participants were brought in without knowing anything.
Instead, several stretchers covered in black cloth were being transported quickly. what?
“Oh My God! Who is dead?!”
Someone’s shout echoed through the lobby.
As a signal, a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees spread everywhere.
Gugu, who was hiding in his arms, seemed to feel a commotion, and his head popped out.
I hurriedly hid the child with my hand.
Those who were talking to me stretched their backs out of the railing and exchanged shouts with the people on the first floor.
Tess, who was talking to the merchants from the other side, also had a hard face.
How could the atmosphere be gloomy?
“You did it! I’m on the move!”
“・・・・・・Ouch! Oh my God, so all the mercenaries are dead!?”
“What’s going on? What did you say?”
“The chamber mercenaries went to search for a missing merchant, and were bitten by a beast and all died horribly! The merchant is still missing!”
“Wow! Did you freeze to death in the forest?”
“It must have happened after you went out for a drink at night, huh!”
“·················ogue.”
I couldn’t control my expression for a moment and looked into the room.
Sedric, who had already closed the book, was sharpening his eyes.
But in the eyes of others, I looked like a properly surprised person.
“Sir, don’t worry. It’s not uncommon for this to happen…”
“Because it is a cold region, everyone drinks too much. And sometimes if you step on the wrong foot…”
“·················ogue.”
The bodies of the mercenaries who were chasing Alain were finally found.
Sir John said it was carefully hidden, but it seems that Baron Atsuma has been persistently searching for it.
I bit my lip and nodded quietly. Inside, I had all sorts of thoughts.
“······That’s sad. I hope the missing person returns soon.”
shit. Anyway, I was going to hit the basement starting today.
Is this going to be a variable? right? If it were a baron, he must have tried to deal with Alain.
It’s a test subject that couldn’t erase its memories, and once it’s dead and revived, there’s a possibility of awakening.
“It is a tragedy, it is a tragedy. Young people at the same time…”
– Clap! shudder! shudder!
At that moment, the sound of cold armor pierced the eardrums from behind.
The movement of the ‘escort knight’ was several times faster than the startled me turning my head. Awesome!
-chin!
“What is the purpose?”
The prince, who stood in front of me like a gate, was holding the sword for sparring and holding the opponent in check with a terrifying force.
I gulped at the silhouette seen over his shoulder.
A knight wearing a helmet and carrying a whip.
It’s the ‘supervisor’ that Alain was talking about.
“···········The baron wants to meet the priest.”
Then came the answer.
I got goosebumps at the lack of temperature.
