Chapter 570: # 570 Infiltration, and Investigation.
āDamn, damn, damn, damn! How dare you leave us and go play on your own! Letās cheat, Kayu!ā
āNo, Iām not cheating in particularā¦ā
āI-I donāt like fighting eitherā¦ā
Compared to Alice, who was so angry, Eternity and Liil returned a faint and plain word.
Alice is angry about yesterdayās mass rampage, Stampede. I canāt believe that such an interesting thing was happening without our knowledge. I wonder why you didnāt invite me.
That said, they were practicing dance, and if Gu Yu knew about it, they definitely stopped, or they reported it to their parents.
Therefore, at the stage of solicitation, the plan was destroyed, but Alice couldnāt have predicted that much.
āI also wanted to fight the demon beast!ā
The screaming Alice, ah, this is not good, I intuitively thought forever. It seems that the stress of the ladiesā education is more accumulated than I thought.
Alice swallows fast. The more I teach, the sooner Iāll make it my own. Yumina and the others were also difficult to teach, and as a result of teaching one after another, they were becoming quite high-speed learning.
Alice is a child who can do it, but she hates studying. You have to let the stress out when youāre folding.
In this case, Aliceās stress relief is exercise or diet.
The main point was to make them rage as much as they wanted, or to eat full of delicious food, which Koyo knew over his many years of association.
In the current state, the balance may be leaning toward those who want to rampage, but it is impossible to make them rampage at once. Then, in the direction of feeding him, Jiuyu moved.
āAlice, letās ask the sisters to buy a drink at Coffee Shop [Palento] as punishment.ā Looks like youāre just doing a cake fair. ā
āCake! Love it! Letās do it!ā
Whatās a cake?
Unlike Alice, who had been caught lightly for a long time, Lyle, who came here on a shallow day, had a question.
āThe cake is a sweet, fluffy and delicious treat!ā Iām sure Liil will love it too! ā
āSweet and fluffyā¦ā
Alice, who explains to Liil how wonderful the cake is, no longer felt the anger.
{Somethingās going on, is it too chaoticā¦? āIs it all right for my daughter-in-law to have that kind of daughter-in-law?ā
āAs far as Iām concerned, Iām the ideal daughter-in-law.ā
While tapping the silver pattern with a dazed voice, Gu Yu was still smiling at Alice, who was eager to express the beauty of the cake.
āāā
The trial operation of the knight gorems āSwordmanā and āGuardianā began in the Duchy of Brunnhild.
Both are operated by only five aircraft, but if this is not an issue, we plan to increase it a little.
Both patrols are basically the main thing, but you will always have to act alongside your companion [Buddy], the Knight. There are some troubles that Golem alone canāt handle.
Swordman and the Guardians were surprised at first, but as soon as they realized it was the Knightsā Golem, they didnāt care.
Somehow⦠isnāt our people getting used to it fast?
Originally, Norn, Nia, Luna and other crown holders were walking around the city with Golem, so there must be places they were used toā¦
āI always look at frame gearā¦ā
So, youāre gonna be okay?
āYes, both Swordman and Guardian are moving without any problems. Swordman managed to capture the drunkard who was rampaging in the tavern, and the Guardian rescued the injured from the crumbling construction site.ā
After hearing the report of Knight Commander Rain, I stroked my chest and said, āIām fine with this too.ā
I may be able to increase the number a little after watching the situation for a few months. According to the children, in the future, apart from the Knights, there was a unit called the Knight Golem Squad.
It seems that the squad leader was Albus, the crown of [White], but Albus is now on a monitoring mission for [Ark] in the white whale [Var Albus]ā¦ā¦
When the matter of the Evil Godās Apostle is solved, we should think about organizing it.
āAnd, Your Majesty, something like this actuallyā¦ā
Thatās what Mr. Rain offered me. It was some medicine packets wrapped in white paper.
When I took it and opened one carefully, there was a small amount of golden powder in it.
ā⦠where is this?ā
āA drunken man was held by Swordman. Perhaps this isā¦..ā
āItās definitely a golden pill.ā
A terrifying magic potion that mutates humans from the remains of mutant species. Damn it, youāre finally going to the Dukeās House.
āWhere did the man get this?ā
āHe said he got it in Badriana, the port city of the Kingdom of Belfast. The man in the black robe at the tavern called out to me and sold it to meā¦..ā
From Belfast. Is that black robe an apostle of the evil gods?
āIt doesnāt mean you donāt come directly to my house.ā Please tighten the security. Be alert if anyone is suspicious. ā
Got it.
After Mr. Rain left the room, he jumped to Babylon and gave the golden medicine to Flora in the [Alchemy] building for analysis. It may be different from the new model before, or it may be a fake golden medicine.
Letās tell His Majesty the King of Belfast about the golden potion.
When I returned to the office and searched on my smartphone, it seemed that the golden potion was not limited to the Western continent only, but also extended to the Eastern continent where we lived.
Especially Panacheās kingdom, the Reef Lease Empire. āI guess itās because Iām starting a trade with the Western continentā¦ā
Even if it was a lot, it was still a rough number. But I couldnāt leave him alone. Iāve given each country some antidote to the golden potionā¦
āEven so, is it something that spreads so fastā¦?ā
About thatā¦
āWow!?ā
Unexpectedly, I shouted at Tsubaki-san, who appeared suddenly.
Since when?! Oh, the corner of the ceiling is empty! Youāre a ninja, so come along the corridor!
It looks like the [Black Butterfly [Papillon]] is chewing on one piece.
[Black Butterfly [Papillon]]?
Black Butterfly [Papillon]� Huh? I think I heard it somewhere�
āIt is a criminal organization in the western continent that His Majesty the Prince has crushed. It was the predecessor organization of [Black Cat]ā¦..ā
āAh. Ah. Oh, there you are. Thatās not true.ā
Once upon a time, I dived into the Black Market to acquire a Golem.
The black market [Black Market] was dominated by the criminal organization of the Western continent, [Black Butterfly [Papillon]].
Indeed, I met Fanatic Viola, the crown of āPurpleā, and her master, Luna Trieste, for the first time in the Black Market [over there]. āYou almost got killedā¦ā
After that, the [Black Butterfly] [Papillon] split and part of it separated from the [Black Butterfly] [Papillon] and became an organization called [Black Cat] led by the [Shadow Lily] silhouette.
āBlack Catā collects information while running a brothel and inn, and does something like an information dealer who sells it. It seems that Tsubaki-san is also interested, but I wonder if itās information from your side?
Didnāt I crush the black butterfly [Papillon]?
āTo be precise, I didnāt crush it completely. His Majesty just placed a [Curse] on the leader and left him alone.ā
Huh? Did you do such a terrible thing�
Are you sure, Zabbitt? I put a [Curse] on the head of the black butterfly [Papillon] to keep away from the [Black Cat].
So they left town, but then they ran into me in another town, and I ran into an orphanage.
The ācurseā condition wasā I donāt care about the silhouettesā, otherwise I could do anything wrong⦠Was it a little sweet that I wasnāt doing anything in person?
So, that Black Butterfly [Papillon] Zabbit is carrying the Golden Potion to the Eastern Continent?
Yes. No, Iām sure that the Black Butterfly [Papillon] is carrying it, but Xavit has already passed away and someone else is in charge.
What, the old manās dead? Is it because of my ācurseā? āBut I havenāt heard from Silhouette-san that she did anything in particularā¦ā
āNo, it doesnāt matter your Majestyās [curse], it seems that he lost his life in an internal struggle.ā Itās upstairs by your men, isnāt it? ā
Oh, my God. Your men betrayed you. Well, I didnāt really look like the type my men would like. Maybe itās common in the backworld.
āAnd the new leader is spreading golden pillsā¦ā
Yes.
The black butterfly [Papillon] is spreading golden pills. Where did you get it from? āAfter all, youāre connected somewhere with the evil god apostleā¦ā
Where is Black Butterfly [Papillon] based now?
āIt used to be the Kingdom of Strain, but now itās in the western capital of the Gardio Empire.ā
The western part of the Gardio Empire⦠close to Isengard, who fought against the evil gods.
Isengard is rough, rough, and close to lawlessness. Isnāt it a good place for the crowds from the family business to gather?
āGolden pills are spreading in the Gardio Empireā¦..ā
Looking at the light points on the map, it was still spreading to a crowded area. This was probably the work of the Black Butterfly [Papillon].
The Gardio Empire has also been given the antidote to the Golden Potion, but it is limited in number, and the antidote is needed because of the onset of mutation. It is also likely that it will be too late.
āGolden potion is a dangerous magic potion,ā but there are still a certain number of users.
According to Flora in the [Alchemy], this medicine relieves stress, so-called mental oppression, and relieves physical and mental pain.
That is not a bad medicine, but of course there is a strong side effect of dependence.
As soon as the medication expires, the stress increases and you want to be relieved from it, but you take more medication because of it. A vicious circle that lasts forever.
Flora says that this repetition may compress the ānegative emotionsā of the human inside.
And when it exceeds a certain threshold and the mind and body can no longer bear it, the human starts mutating so that a balloon with too much air will burst.
If it is completely in this state, the antidote will no longer cure it. I became a vassal of an evil god who wasnāt human.
It is natural for a person to want to escape from mental pain and anguish. Not everyone has a strong spiritual power. Thatās the nasty commercial law I put in there.
Theyāre not selling golden pills at a high price. It is sold at a subtle price that the general public can manage to reach. I donāt like it there either.
It takes away money, erodes the mind, and breaks the body. I was literally sucked to the bone marrow and turned into their slave. I canāt forgive you.
āIn the meantime, Iāll send the kings the golden potion of my country.ā
Attach the location of the golden drug that came out after searching the map to a representative of each country. If they were all exposed, there would be fewer victims.
What about the black butterfly [Papillon]?
āHmm, there it isā¦ā If we donāt turn off the source, itās a mess. ā
Where do you get the Golden Potion and who deals with the Evil Godās Apostle?
Normally, it would be the new leader of the Black Butterfly [Papillon]ā¦
Do you want to infiltrate the home of the black butterfly [Papillon]?
āUndercoverā¦?ā
No, it wasnāt me, it was [Homura].
Ah, the three daughters. Monkey Flying [Sarutobi], [Homura], Fog Hiding [Kirigai], [Shizuku], Wind Devil [Fuma], and [Nagi] ās subordinates.
āHmm, I wonder if itās okayā¦ā Iāve known it since I was a newcomer, so Iām worried about some things.
āThose three guys are getting strong, too.ā At least in terms of combat abilities, I was trained every day by the blades [Moro] and [Martial Arts], so I thought they were much stronger than the half-knights. In addition, there are [far vision] demon eyes on the urn, exceptional disguises on the urn, and various dark artifacts on the urn. ā
I see. The young people are growing up⦠āI mean, age is not very different from mine.
If Tsubaki-san pushes the drum so far, will it be okay?
āAll right, letās get these three to go.ā Oh, Iāll add Bastet and Anubis as support. ā
āBastet and Anubis⦠black cat and black dog Golem.ā I see, then you can gather information without being suspicious. ā
Bastet and Anubis are Elkaās engineer Gorem, but theyāve been hanging around town lately without much work. No, itās also useful for gathering intelligence and patrolling the castle town.
If you look into something, those two wonāt be suspicious. Bastet is smart, and Anubis⦠heās a little stupid, but heās friendly, so he can move around as a regular dog.
With the simultaneous seizure in various countries and the crushing of the broker [broker], Black Butterfly [Papillon], the number of victims of golden drugs would be reduced. I couldnāt spread the ācurseā of the evil god any further.
I have opened my smartphone contacts to ask His Majesty Emperor Gardio for help.
āāā
The Gardio Empire is located in the south of the western continent.
To the west of the empire, the Gulf City of Bren was located close to the place where the former magic kingdom of Isengard once existed.
In the past, the city boasted of glory as a relay point for trade, with carriers and horse-drawn carriages coming and going from Isengard, but since Isengard was destroyed and the land was divided, it now casts a dark shadow on its glory.
Even so, as a city on the periphery, he is doing something about it.
However, Isengardās demise was a direct blow to the lives of its citizens.
First of all, the number of people has greatly decreased. Everyone who went to Isengard visited Brenn, but now nobody likes to go to Isengard.
With fewer jobs and fewer supplies, crime has spread, and the forces of those who control it have grown.
Even the lords use their bribes to pretend not to see. This lord was a solid former lord who died of illness all of a sudden, so he was the younger brother who succeeded him in his footsteps⦠but did the former lord really die of illness�
Itās just a rumor that the backbreakers assassinated the lords in order to replace them with lords that are more convenient for them.
It was late at night, and Bastet told everyone about the information he had gathered in an inn on a corner overlooking the streets of Brennās city.
āIt seems that the split Black Butterfly [Papillon] also had assassination squads.ā I donāt think itās just a rumor. ā
When I heard Bastetās report, one of the three daughters, Foggy Hidden [Kirikuri] [Shizuku], put her hand on her chin as she thought about it as she shook her long hair.
I wonder if the black butterfly [Papillon] is responsible for the death of the previous lord after all.
āIt must be nine out of ten.ā Otherwise, even though itās a peripheral city, you wonāt be able to do it on your own. ā
In the nodding ears, another groupās voice came even if they didnāt join the conversation and were making a fuss.
Ah, [Nagi]! I thought Iād eat that fowl!
āThe fast one wins!ā
Hey, sisters, letās give it to me!
āWhat? Youāre a gorem and you eat?ā
Iām high performance! Thereās nothing wrong with that!
Well then, Iāll give you this ~
āIāll do it!⦠this is the bone!ā Against Animal Abuse! ā
āDogs like bones, donāt they?ā
āPupupu, then Iāll give you bones too!ā
āAhh, shut up!ā
Shovels and bastides fly in unison to a group dining at a table in the corner of the room.
There were two people and one animal who felt somewhat at ease with their roots against the serious bamboo shoots and bastites.
Thatās right, itās going to be crispy. From now on, itās easy to make mistakes in important places without being overly attentive. ā
āOh, dog. You said a good thing.ā Thatās right, letās relax your shoulders a little bit more. ā
Hey ~
āYouāre too drained!ā A little more nervous! ā
Hey, hey ~
You too, stupid dog! Letās not hang out together! When I get home, Iāll have Niisama Fenrir scold me!
What!? Sister Bastet, thatās cowardly!
Maybe itās the black butterfly [Papillon]?
The voice that was arguing with him stopped. When I suddenly looked to the side, a man standing by the window stared out of the window.
Soon, the others rushed to the window and captured the men in black clothes walking in the night streets under the street lights.
ā⦠thereās no doubt about it. Itās the Black Butterfly [Papillon] guys.ā
I used the āfar visionā magic eye to check that the black butterfly was embroidered on their collar.
Itās lucky to meet a target from day one
āI guess Iām lucky⦠well, I guess Iāve saved myself the extra effort.ā Bastet, Anubis, can I have it? ā
Iāll take care of it. Letās go, you stupid dog!
Donāt be stupid, stupid! Dogs are brilliant! ā
Opening the window, Bastet and Anubis chased after the Black Butterfly [Papillon].
āLetās gather a little more information. We need to find out what the chain of command of the black butterfly [Papillon] is like.ā
I see. Iāll go around the tavern.
Well then, Iām in a pleasant neighborhood ~
Nodding one by one, the three daughters jumped from the window to the street and disappeared into the darkness of the night, just like Bastet and the others.
