Chapter 83 - Dark Clouds Falling on Hometown

‘Hmm.’

I was reading the papers sent by Lord Izenberg from the Heungshinso. It was a list of unofficial religious gatherings within the denomination. There were numerous religious gatherings, but the only group I was interested in was the “Crusade of Salvation.”

 

“There are only 40 people…….”

 

The Crusade of Salvation was a small group of 40 members. It is a group that mainly studies prophecies and signs of the end of the world.

 

Besides, I couldn’t see any names I knew.

 

In my previous life, I had caught some members of the “Crusade of Salvation”, but none of them were on this list.

 

I don’t know if it’s because they haven’t expanded their power yet, or if it’s a different organization from the ‘Crusade of Salvation’ I know, but one thing is for sure, it’s not in the stage of getting rid of it yet.

 

In the latter case, you will be severely hit in the head in the future, and even in the former case, you will be left with a lot of embers. Anyway, when you catch it, it’s all.

 

‘But should I still manage it?’

 

To get into management, I first needed to get my people into the organization. Someone who will always report to me about the activities of the ‘Crusade of Salvation’.

 

The problem was that the “Crusade of Salvation” would later become a fanatic group. Therefore, we needed a person who is not only a selfish person who is tired of the world and knows only himself but is also mean enough to eat betrayal as well as greedy. Only then will you be able to perform your management duties properly without falling into fanaticism.

 

It was said that dog poop is also useful for medicine, but fortunately, I had only one such talented person. There are other people besides me.

 

‘This child is quite famous. Originally, I should have died after the last Hall of Fame incident.’

 

It’s a good thing though. Without him, it would have been difficult for me to find someone who could safely entrust me with the task of monitoring the ‘Crusade of Salvation’.

 

I immediately robbed and stood up to find the right person.

***

It was a dark underground hallway with rusty iron gates running all the way. As the surroundings shimmered with a single torch, I stood in front of the outermost iron gate.

 

As I knocked on the iron door, I felt a small presence from inside. it was him

 

“Hey! Who is it?”

 

“it’s me. long time no see.”

 

“·················.”

 

As if he could understand my voice, the man went into a state of deep silence. I smiled and opened the iron door with the key.

 

“Howdy. Alon. how have you been?”

Alon put an awkward smile on her face.

“No, Master, what have you been up to here?”

 

“I just came to see if you are okay. How are you doing?”

 

“Of course. Food is served on time, and when the time is right, you can sleep and exercise, so there is no other place as comfortable as here.”

 

“Okay. So what about this?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Actually, I was going to release you sooner or later. But I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong because I’m comfortable here.”

 

Alon came closer to my words.

 

“Are you really going to release me?”

 

“Yes. Now there is no one to harm Captain Alon. I’ve put everything away safely.”

 

“Yes? why?”

 

“You didn’t know? this is very sad How much I love Captain Alon. You’re the comrades we fought together on the hunt for Fraker, aren’t we?”

 

Alon looked at me suspiciously. He looked like he couldn’t trust my kindness at all.

 

“Ah~”

 

“Wow, look at him. You don’t believe what I’m saying?”

 

“The Polkin Gate incident is still vivid in my mind, how can I believe it? At that time, the Master killed all my minions, didn’t you?”

 

“It was because the mercenary men were looking for your money. If I hadn’t shown up then Captain Alon would already be dead. It’s all because I thought about it.”

 

Alon made a funny face. In fact, the behavior of his subordinates at the time was strange.

 

“But won’t you take all my money?”

 

“It was to protect Captain Alon’s estate. If they are taken to the Kasim bandits, they will all be taken away, but I have to take care of them.”

 

“Then you threaten to make me proud?”

 

“Are you offended by that? Of course it was a joke. I had to capture Captain Alon at the request of the Berbe Company at that time. Of course, I had no intention of killing Captain Alon. Are you a comrade who risked our lives to fight monsters together?”

 

Alon was still wary of me. The words are roughly correct, but if you believe it, you are stupid.

 

Aaron didn’t lead a very naive life.

 

“What. I say so. Why are you doing this?”

 

“You are trying to free me. Actually, I didn’t say anything, but I’ve been worried about Captain Alon a lot. The Kasim robbers try to kill Captain Alon whenever they have spare time, the Berbe company uses the successor hostage gun to sharpen their swords, and the former subordinates that you left behind in Kara were also sharply sharpening their teeth. That’s why I kept him locked up in prison countless times. If you wander around outside, you will die without even knowing the mice or birds.”

 

“Now?”

 

I was shoulder to shoulder with Alon.

 

“I got it all sorted out. Kasim appointed him as an emirate and sent him to a far-off coastal city, and now the people above the Berbe don’t often come to Kara. Also, you kicked out all the former servants you left behind in Kara. Now you can go outside safely.”

 

“Is that true?”

 

“Because it is. Can you get me out right now?”

 

Alon rubbed his lips as if interested. Still doubting me, but there was no reason to deny freedom.

 

“Then release me.”

 

“Of course you have to let it go. But do you have any work to do? Even if you go out, you don’t have to paste your mouth, right?”

 

“There is nothing special, but as long as you return the money you took to me in the past, there is no reason to worry about the rest of my life.”

 

I made a troubled face.

 

“But what about this?”

 

“why?”

 

“I put some of that money somewhere. I’m trying to borrow some of Captain Alon’s fortune. If you wait a few years, it will pop up several times.”

 

Alon bit his lip as if he knew it.

 

“Okay. Just take it from the master.”

 

“Is that okay? Will it be 3,000 leaf of gold later?”

 

Alon showed a little interest.

 

“Are you really going to give it back?”

 

“Of course. It’s also been fried three times. 3 times. You can pay back a few pennies of interest right away.”

 

I took out a small coin pocket and showed it. It contained 20 gold leaves.

 

Alon quickly grabbed the money bag.

 

“So what am I going to do?”

 

I had a fishy smile. Also, one eye is fast.

 

“Aren’t you going to try a paladin?”

 

“Am I a paladin?”

 

“If it’s Captain Alon, it’s worth a try. Besides being a mana swordsman, his swordsmanship skills are very good.”

 

“So?”

 

“Anyway, you’ve lost your life as a mercenary because you cheated on the Berbe company, didn’t you? I’ll wash your identity very clean and push you hard from behind. Take this opportunity to come from the church and try to ride the road once.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

 

Alon expressed his deep interest. Mercenaries and paladins have different identities. Mercenaries are commoners, but paladins are low-ranking nobles.

 

“How far are you going to push me?”

 

“If you complete this mission, you will be at least the commander of the Holy Knights. The rest is probably Captain Alon’s ability.”

 

The commander of the Holy Knights is treated like a nobleman. It is a position that cannot even be compared to that of a mercenary commander.

 

Alon put a faint smile on his lips.

 

“Just do something. I will give my allegiance with all my life.”

 

I thought I would accept it too. Alon is very faithful to his desires, and he is a hard worker. So he was more reliable. He was never a person who would betray money and career just for the sake of his beliefs or beliefs.

 

After that, I asked Alon to infiltrate the ‘Crusade of Salvation’. The nature of the mission is first of all, management monitoring and intelligence. If you do, you will be given an assassination or murder mission.

***

It was a late spring day heading towards summer.

 

Caoyan Heungshinso still flew only flies today.

 

Two months after opening. During this time, there were no guests at all.

 

I wondered if it was because of the price tag, which had risen sharply, but it was not. From the day the price was raised until today, no customers have come, so there is no way that rumors of raising the price could have spread here in Kara.

 

“weird. Why are there so few guests?”

 

Shura responded to my self-talk.

 

“Isn’t it because the business was closed for a long time because of the war?”

 

“Well. Could a monopolist like us be affected by that?”

 

“Or it could be because the number of clients themselves has decreased. Recently, spice dealers and spice dealers are moving their business to Ramis and Jores Islands.”

 

“No. When did they ever come as our guests? Most of them were government guests.”

 

In an instant, Shura and I met meaningful gazes. hit. It was because there were no government guests.

 

“Ah.”

 

“It is.”

 

Recently, we have been in a position where it is quite difficult for Kara’s officials to pamper them with money.

 

I am the lover of Queen Padilla, and I was in the position of a supreme commander who led all troops and officials during the last war, and Shura is a great saint of Yin and Yang. It would be rather strange if Kara’s officials didn’t feel burdened by me.

 

“Besides, Master almost abolished the mercenary system, right? You said that protecting the people is only the duty of the government and the military?”

 

I wiped my face. Even reform measures for Kara were holding me back.

 

Now it seemed like it was too late to buy and eat at Kara. The military does all the work that could be requested, such as escorting the upper ranks and hunting monsters.

 

“How do you do this? Should I even abuse my powers?”

 

“well.”

 

Taking a deep breath, I looked around. Then I saw someone I couldn’t see.

 

“By the way, where did Armida go?”

 

“You went shopping earlier. It’s been a while, so you’ll be back soon.”

 

“Really, my sister, now is not the time to just do leisurely shopping.”

 

At that moment, the door to the Heungshinso was opened. Shura got up hastily.

 

“Looks like you have come.”

 

But it wasn’t my sister. The person entering the office now was a middle-aged man who appeared to be a Continental. He bowed politely from her waist to me and Shura.

 

“I see you, Shura Daeseong and Baekmyeon.”

 

I welcomed him and led him to the sofa. It was the first visitor in almost two months. He must somehow win the commission.

 

“Come on, sit down.”

 

“Yes. thank you.”

 

The middle-aged man calmly sat down. But it got a little stale. His half-white blonde hair was familiar to his eyes, and the long, protruding chin and slender eyes seemed to have been seen somewhere.

 

“The name?”

 

“This is Baron Ruto.”

 

He remembered the name. Baron Ruto was an intelligence official of the Yosrahim Empire.

 

I rewrote the back even deeper and pouted his mouth. At most, the guest who came was someone I knew. The baron was an acquaintance who supported me in many ways in his previous life.

 

Of course, in the present life, there is no relationship yet.

 

“Oh, that’s a good name. Okay, what happened to you?”

 

“Actually, I have something to ask you closely.”

 

“What request?”

 

“Please kill someone.”

 

It was an assassination quest. One of my eyes trembled softly. Baron Ruto was mainly responsible for preventing rebellion conspiracies, and it is our family, Karl Estate, in charge.

 

“You have come well. My area of ​​expertise is assassination.”

 

“I know. Rumors that the Berbe Chamber of Commerce handled the request very neatly spread to our Yosrahim Empire.”

It must have been a background investigation rather than a rumor. It’s the intelligence department for that. It seemed that he probably understood all of my inclinations, activities, relationships with people around me, and so on.

“What’s so hard about getting rid of about 50 mercenaries? Everyone is taking it easy.”

 

“But finishing was an art. Wasn’t it very clean?”

 

“Thank you for saying that. So, who am I supposed to kill?”

 

“This is Viscount Brian.”

Viscount Brian was a hardline independenceist who had always been opposed to me in the past. He was a low-level master swordsman who was quite difficult to deal with, but he had my swordsmanship teacher, Earl Meyer, who somehow suppressed it by force.

“Are you talking about that Viscount Brian of Karl Youngji?”

 

“Yes. You know it.”

 

“Then it will be very difficult.”

 

“Why?”

 

“If I kill that human, won’t the Yosrahim Empire not stand still? I killed the master swordsman in my country, would you say it feels good?”

 

“Don’t worry about that. The Yosrahim Empire will never blame Baekmyeon.”

Then it meant that the work was not carried out by the intelligence department alone. At least my uncle came out. Underneath it, his rich merchant father would reach out, because his father couldn’t have killed Viscount Brian.

 

Although Viscount Brian was tough, his loyalty to the Prince Charles was no less than that of anyone else.

 

It seemed that a very serious rift was being opened between the Karl Territory and the Empire recently.

“It’s still difficult. Anyway, won’t Archduke Karl be upset?”

 

“But he is just an Archduke. It cannot be compared to Baekyeon, who is the real ruler of the kingdom of Kara.”

 

“It’s because Archduke Karl is the second son of the Yosrahim Empire.”

 

“However, the Iron-Blood Minister is not the same as the old days. Because I am guilty of having an ugly child.”

I opened my eyes sharply. Because the answer is right away who the ugly child is. However, he endured the anger and continued the conversation.

“no. Still, I don’t like it. You can try to subdue it, but you can’t even kill it.”

 

“Well, if you really like it, you can end it with a suppression level.”

I quivered under the mask.

“Then there may be room for investigation. Then come back tomorrow around this time. I’ll think about it for a day and talk to you.”

 

“Yes. Okay. Then we will see you again tomorrow.”

After a short conversation, Baron Ruto left the Heungshinso office. When the baron’s presence disappeared, I scrambled my expression and smashed my hands as the table broke.

“Damn it! What the hell were you doing while I was gone!”

Shura hurriedly approached me in surprise.

“Master. Why are you here?”

 

“The Prince Charles is in danger.”

 

“really? Is Viscount Brian such an important person?”

 

“No, not really.”

 

“Of course?”

 

“They say it doesn’t matter if you assassinate or subdue. That means Viscount Brian is only a hindrance. In reality, the person they are targeting is someone else.”

 

“Who are you?”

He let out a deep sigh.

“The Viscount’s superior. It’s your father or Joseph. no. I’ll be Joseph The father is an essential person for his maternal uncle. My father is the only person in our empire who has a lot of fun with Grandpa Cloud. His maternal uncle could not have killed a father like that.”

Shura’s face turned dark.

“Then what do we do?”

 

“Well. I’ll have to go and see what’s going on.”

 

Shura expressed her objection, almost like a seizure.

“No. It’s dangerous.”

 

“Why?”

 

“If you go to Karl’s estate, the Master’s identity can be revealed. Did Padilla recognize the Archduke?”

It was. There are too many people in the Charles family who know me well. I could never be relieved with the contrast I’m wearing now and dyeing my hair.

 

I pondered for a while before answering.

“Are you going to get a sore head on this occasion? I also wear sooted glasses. Then wouldn’t it be okay to cover her entire face and even the shape of her hair?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
