Chapter 1583 – 1583. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
“If you don’t want to be left behind, do as I say.”
Tatari’s eyes trembled. She couldn’t hide her bewilderment and lowered her eyes to see the dagger pointed at her throat.
I understand that feeling. To be honest, I didn’t even see Yuria’s movements. When I realized, it was already over. She was fortunate that Yuria was not her enemy.
“Even if I die, the adventurer’s guild will not disappear. Your Excellency Count Pruckus. Think carefully. Are you going to turn all adventurers on the continent into enemies?”
Tartari brushed her mouth. Even with a dagger pointed at her throat, she speaks arrogantly. It seems that the title of adventurer’s guild master in the labyrinth city of Rabit was not just earned. Have guts The problem was that he was putting that gut on me.
She raised her index finger. Her index finger slid down from above her, pointing to Tartari’s left arm.
Awesome!
“How big?!”
Surprisingly, Tartary’s left arm was cut cleanly. She was cut very cleanly, with no blood splattering everywhere. Thanks to her concentration, she could tell what was going on. The shadow from under her Tartari arm appeared like a blade and cut off her left arm.
Judging by her appearance, Tartari didn’t seem to notice at all that she had cut off her own left arm.
“People think adventurers are great. Investigate ancient ruins, uncover the secrets of the world, and face monsters in the labyrinth. Very nice to hear. But how many adventurers do you think actually became adventurers to become adventurers? I think most of them became adventurers because they didn’t want to be mercenaries. Tatari. What do you think?”
“… We adventurers basically seek freedom. At least I became an adventurer for freedom. No matter how much you say, Mr. Count, you have no right to infringe on the freedom of our adventurers. There won’t be any in the future. Your Excellency Count, if you want anything, ask us!”
“Cheeky bitch. It sounds like freedom and I fell asleep. Just because you’re adventurers, does that origin disappear? Do you think this labyrinth city is a different world separate from the kingdom? You were born as commoners, and in the end you are just citizens of the kingdom. If I was born as an aristocrat, I should be a commoner.”
If all the adventurers in this world were united around an adventurer’s guild, it would be annoying. But that can’t happen. Adventurers aren’t such a narrow-minded tribe. Most will run away if it’s not their business.
“Tartary. Give me one last chance Do what I say. I’m not here to rule this sweaty city.”
“… If you’re not here to rule the city, then for what purpose?”
Akmun Tatari asked about this. I pondered for a moment. From the looks of it, it seems that Tartary will not actively cooperate untilhehears the right reason.
‘Shall I just kill him? … No Knowing how long it will take until a new guild master appears. In this world, administration is basically too slow. Annoying year. I’ll have to kill him when I go back later.’
I crossed my legs and opened my mouth.
“I heard intelligence that the Demon King is hiding in this city.”
“… Yes? Do you mean the demon king? He, the king of demons?”
Tatari’s face crumpled. It must be absurd to say that there is a demon king that only appears in legends.
“I have to find and kill the demon king, so cooperate with me.”
“… If you had said that from the start, you would have promised cooperation.”
“Why do I have to explain everything to a commoner bastard like you?”
Tartary furrowed his eyebrows.
“… Your Excellency Count. I don’t know where you got that information, but there is no demon lord in our city. If there had been a Demon King, the city would not have been so peaceful.”
“Since the Demon King is hiding, it must be peaceful from the outside. Doesn’t your head turn?”
“…… Please tell me the information about the demon king. I will do my best to help His Excellency Count return home as soon as possible.”
“From now on, everything I say is top secret. The moment this information is revealed, I will find you and your family and kill them all.”
“I promise not to tell anyone.”
To be honest, I didn’t trust it.
‘Even though one arm was cut off, it can’t be helped because it’s a bitch who openly recovers….’
I remembered the devil.
In this world, obtaining information about the demon lord was beyond difficult, impossible.
The information about the demon king written in ancient documents is meaningless. Because, what is written there is the information of the former Demon King. Obtaining the devil’s information through demons? It was hard too. Because demons don’t know much about the current demon lord.
The reason I know the information about the demon king is simply because I know the contents of the original work.
“The demon king’s name is Asterix. He has the power of possession.”
Tartary couldn’t believe it, so he only said part of it.
Asterix.
The devil’s name is correct. However, the authority he possessed was not something like possession.
‘The power to copy the devil’s power.’
Theoretically, the demon king can use all demonic powers. The Power of Possession is only one of them.
‘And there are 3 demon powers that can be used at the same time.’
What I was most wary of was the Power of Possession.
What if the Demon King took Yuria’s body away with the power of possession? The worst will happen.
‘The absolute spirit does not protect the body. Even if your mind is clear, your physical authority can be taken away.’
There are also demonic powers that did not appear in the original work.
‘The good thing is that I can’t use the powers of dead demons.’
The reason Kyle in the original story couldn’t face the demon 1:1 was because of the power of possession. If you fight 1 on 1 and get possessed, that’s it.
“I understand why Your Excellency wants information from the citizens. Why do you want information from the Labyrinth?”
“I’m going to attack the labyrinth while I’m here.”
“…….”
“If you understand, give me the information. In particular, it focuses on the information of citizens whose lives have changed significantly over the past few years. Of course, adventurers belonging to the adventurer’s guild are no exception.”
“It is difficult to prepare right now. It takes time.”
“Give me ten days. Get ready.”
Having said all I had to say, I stood up. Yuria lowered the dagger that was aimed at Tartari’s neck.
“…….”
Tartari closed his mouth and looked at his left arm, which fell to the floor. It was the moment she was about to take her arm. Her severed left arm sank into the Swamp of Shadows.
“This is the price of rudeness. Please be polite from now on.”
After Yuria’s cold words, we left the office.
•••
“I’m going crazy.”
Tartari muttered in the office left alone. She looked at her own left arm, brushing her bangs with her only left arm. I was still feeling the pain.
‘Count Pruckus. Rumors continued that he dealt with and killed demons. It must be true that he came to find the demon king.’
The Demon King is hiding somewhere in this city. It was information that sent chills down his spine. It was far better not to know.
‘Now that I’ve found out, I’ll have to take action.’
The problem is not only the devil.
Count Eugene Prockers.
Tartari, a former slave, looked into his eyes and recalled the past. A nobleman who killed his own parents. Earl Pruckus had the same eyes as that nobleman. Earl Pruckus does not see himself as the same human being. He only sees things. Count Pruckus will dispose of himself when the job is done.
‘I have heard rumors about the disposition of Earl Pruckus. If things don’t go well… He remains even after wiping out the Labyrinth City.’
Earl Pruckus had the strength and power to do so. In the present Lapelli Kingdom… No, there are few people on the current continent who can openly oppose Earl Pruckus.
‘But this is a labyrinth city.’
I turned back, ignoring the pain I felt in his severed left arm. Outside the large window, there was a labyrinth that could be called the heart and center of the city. It is not strange no matter what happens in the labyrinth.
‘As the adventurer’s guild master, I must protect this city. I’ll have to call them.’
She returned her gaze to her empty left arm. Show them this and they will know how serious the situation is.
•••
“Is the story over?”
I came down from the office of the Adventurer Guild Master. Melissa, the leader of the AM unit, who was sitting on a chair on the first floor, asked while sipping a cold drink. Looking around, the first floor was more like a bar where you can have drinks including alcohol.
“If it goes well, then it goes well. But why are you fooling around here?”
“I was waiting for the master, not idle.”
Melissa answered shamelessly.
She got up from her seat and caught up next to me. Get out of the Adventurer’s Guild. The battle maids who were standing guard came to my side as if they had been waiting and stood as an escort.
The eyes of the adventurers turn to us. We ignored their gaze.
“Now what? Are you going straight into the labyrinth?”
Melissa asked.
“No, I need to get a lodging first. I didn’t receive any information about the labyrinth. Let’s enter the labyrinth tomorrow morning.”
Melissa laughs. Her eyes twinkled uncomfortably.
“You will enter the labyrinth that you have only heard about. If you’re lucky in the labyrinth, you’ll get an excellent artifact, right?”
“If you’re really lucky, you will.”
I said bluntly.
The labyrinth was similar to the dungeon in reality. However, it is only bigger and deeper than the dungeon.
We rented the whole of the best hotel in town. There was a guest staying before us, but I ordered them to leave the hotel quietly.
Even if it was a top-notch hotel, the quality of the mansion was inferior to that of the mansion.
“Master. It seems that the adventurers guild master has a different mindset.”
While checking the texture of the bed, Yuria said.
“Is that woman?”
“Yes. I put a shadow just in case, but as soon as we left the adventurer’s guild, we summoned adventurers. They seem to be the leaders of the adventure groups that can be said to be the main force of this city.”
“It’s annoying. Shall I kill you right now?”
“It is not too late to process the information after receiving it. If you still don’t like it… I will deal with it now.”
“No, it’s okay. Let’s get rid of it after receiving the information. Now is… I’ll have to test how good the beds in this hotel are. Yuria. Can you help me?”
“Of course.”
YuRia smiled and approached.
