Chapter 166 – 162 Stupidity = Gottmogg’s Prison Labyrinth
‘Gilles Bexel. Seeing as he can’t use Crabberry’s last name, he must be the lowest of the barons.’
“…….”
‘Even if I give it a high price, is it about the level of a collateral branch of the main family? Apparently, he doesn’t behave very well and doesn’t seem smart enough, so his position must be that he’s an insignificant insectivore in the family.’
Gilles = Bexle’s face hardens at Hwanin’s careless murder. Watching this, Hwanin gradually raised the level of personal attacks.
‘The things you do are vulgar and disrespectful. There is no humaneness that people would normally feel. Since he was such a dog, he must have been treated as an illegitimate child not only by his parents, but also by his blood relatives. Is there anything wrong with that?’
The area around the mouth of the dark gray wolf’s head wriggled as if convulsing.
If you see him not even trying to embellish himself with lies, he must be correct.
Hwanin pretended to be calm and continued his words.
‘Your horse is a first-class baron, but judging from your words and actions, you seem so incompetent that you might be demoted to a high clan in your generation or your children’s generation. You have to be smart to do bad things well, but this is it. Won, are you insane to rob a labyrinth robbers on the first floor? Well, he must have done something stupid like this because he was insane.’
“…….”
‘Did you say that you took care of the aftereffects and took action? This is not a measure, but a level of walking into a trap for please. You said you’re looking at people who have entered since you entered. Can Crabberry have as much influence over the Farhists as he can? If you investigate people, the identities of the labyrinth robbers you run will also be revealed, and there will be people who have seen you like that. What are you going to do with them? Were your actions secret enough to not notice the secret agreement between you and the robbers in the labyrinth?’
Even if the secret agreement was secret and it was perfect to hide it so that others would not notice, if it is openly pointed out as it is now, it is a person who will say, “Maybe?”
Hwan-in pours out words while watching Gilles = Bexle’s reaction, where even his eyebrows twitch.
‘I was concerned about the aftereffects and didn’t even think about hiding with a hood. I also had identification cards and cash transaction certificates on my body. Why? Is it to brag about being recognized? You said you were preparing for the aftermath? Why did you think you could act so openly and completely hide your identity? When your identity and your actions with the Labyrinth Robber are revealed, Crabbery will go wild with joy. “Such an idiot was born in my family!”, “Such a worm-like bastard ruins the family!” While doing it.’
Hwanin laughs at him, meaning that there is no such thing as an idiot. Then, Gilles = Bexle opens his eyes and starts to shake his shoulders as if breathing heavily.
‘The head family is actively involved in the death of a collateral like you……. What could it be First of all, it’s a noble family.’
“It wouldn’t be bad to have hope. Despair will come back as you add more hope.”
In order to cut off the story of Hwanin, who is being swung sharply, Gilles = Bexle feels unbearable anger and anxiety at the same time, but tries hard to draw out the dignity of a powerful family.
Hwanin didn’t pay much attention to that reaction. Rather, it looks like a ridiculous play, to the point of laughing.
Because the arrogant attitude of not being able to control emotions properly is very embarrassing.
Hwanin took a moment to carefully review what he said and did in response to Gilles-Bexle’s rebuttal, but there was nothing wrong with that. Rather, according to what he said, it would be like falling into a trap he made himself.
Having concluded, Hwanin began to calmly recite the plan he had organized in his head.
‘When I leave the Labyrinth, I intend to fabricate and spread rumors. Even black propaganda would be fine. “It seems that a barbarian in Crabberry is robbing in the Farghist Labyrinth”, Doesn’t it seem like it will get quite a bit of attention?’
“…….”
‘Of course, I have no intention of spreading rumors openly. It will be hidden, quietly, covertly, and systematically. Some will say that the robber was a black-grey race, and others will say that he hung out with the disreputable mercenaries of Crabberry. Rumors will spread that there are actually dead people. Evidence? The person you killed will be the evidence.’
Hwanin’s gaze turned to the five corpse bags. Gilles: Bexle’s gaze also goes to the bag containing the things he was a student at the Acclamento Establishment Graduate School.
The evidence of the dead person will be five students from the graduating class of Acclamento Establishment Graduate School.
Even if left alone, they will self-destruct at the end of the investigation, but they do not want to draw attention to the investigation process and want things to progress more radically, so they are deliberately planning to use their hands provocatively.
‘Not only that, but rumors will spread that it was you and the labyrinth robbers you led that killed the academy students. Groundless rumors that dozens of people have already been victimized by labyrinth robbers will be a bonus.’
In reality, he was killed by the Skeleton Giant, but rumors usually don’t matter if they’re true or not. Because the main purpose is to expand provocative articles through the gossip, ‘Kadera’.
Of course, the source of the rumor will be a pub where an unspecified number of people gather and disperse.
Similar rumors will start to flow in the tavern near the graduate school.
The city will be full of men wearing hooded robes for a while, spreading secret rumors.
Even during the preparations for the grand festival, rumors of involvement like this would create quite a stir in a world where gossip is almost non-existent.
What would happen if those negative rumors reached the ears of the Farghist family?
Considering that there is an invisible conflict between Wayford and the Farghists, it seems that the Farghist lord also has one personality.
However, such negative stories start to spread in the city, and an investigation team is dispatched from Crabberry as if to confirm the truth of such rumors?
The prison labyrinth is a place where dozens of parties come and go every day.
But the Baron, who arrived in Farhist 15 days ago and was killed in the labyrinth, investigates all the parties before entering the labyrinth? Moreover, the labyrinth of the saints, a high-class city that is not their territory?
From what I’ve heard, he’s not related by blood to the Farghist lord, and he’s a powerful family in a city that’s a month’s walk away?
The basic stance among barons is respect and cooperation, but allowing the investigation is another thing, and as a senior city lord, I think my pride will never allow it.
Let’s assume that the Farghist castle lord cooperates with the investigation by conceding 100 times.
Upon investigation, it was revealed that the nobles of Crabberry teamed up with the labyrinth robbers from there to hunt humans in the labyrinth, the root of their city?
That’s an instant war.
Hwanin continued.
‘The labyrinth robbery committed by the barons of Crabberry is known through the complete enumeration conducted by Crabberry……. Of course, it will also go into the ears of Fenri Justio Farhist, the lord of the Farhist castle, I can guarantee it. Interesting things will happen. Like war.’
“…….”
‘The suspect in this series of cases is, of course, you. No one can deny or correct those rumors. Absolutely. Because the dead don’t speak. And your family will never forget your name. They’ll tell the story of a rare idiot, a piece of trash who ate the Crabberry.’
Gilles: Bexel showed an expressionless expression for a moment, then clapped his hands pretending to sincerely admire.
“Great. It’s great. I’ve never thought of manipulating perceptions like that, but with that elaborate plan, you combine the scattered truth and information and process it to your liking. You have a great talent! I am also sincerely curious. What will be the result! Truly heart-thumping…….」
‘There’s nothing worse than pretending to know about facts that you can’t organize or accept, Gilles.’
“…….」
‘Above all, you don’t see it.’
“…… Why do you speak so confidently?”
‘Because then you won’t be in this world.’
At Hwanin’s eerie reply, Gilles = Bexle felt fear as if a knife had been inserted into his throat.
The business is over. There are a few things that can be useful if you make them into soul orbs and keep them for 42 hours, but that entails a plan that requires you to reveal yourself as a soul worker.
In addition to that, this author feels lingering regret and resentment quite strongly. If you think of the female spirit that became a demon in Carton Village, you don’t know what kind of irregular this author will become beyond mixed.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a person who becomes a soul after 42 hours will attain Buddhahood as it is.
If he misses due to poor management at that time, it is unclear what he will do after running away to a place where force does not work.
Hwanin had no intention of taking the risk. Above all, there are elements that are being experimented with Gilles=Bexel.
To see the end of the experiment, hold a pearl-colored phase stone in his left hand, and raise a soul stick with his right hand to load a soul arrow.
As if he could see the soul arrow because he was a soul, Gilles-Vexle started to shake to the point where it was obvious that the arrow was aimed at his head.
He doesn’t mind if everyone else dies and disappears, but does he even have the thought that he shouldn’t be like that?
“As a spirit master, the soul…… Is it okay if I hurt you!?”
‘You are a human being and you hurt the same person. Is that okay?’
“They were the common people, even if they died! By providing entertainment for the noble lineage and dying, you’ve done your job!”
‘You are no different from me. It is extinguished to provide peace and well-being to the noble profession of soul death. Wouldn’t it be an infinite honor for you, a useless food bug?’
“…… !”
When his own words came back, Gilles = Bexle’s eyes trembled once.
‘Stop.’
“…… !!」
Gilles = Bexle, who was trying to escape, couldn’t even move a finger from the force that flew at that moment.
Even though I became a soul without a body, I feel like I am suffocating. Just as the darkness in the labyrinth is concentrated in the pupils, it seems that the black pupils of the Spirit Master are swallowing you whole.
My heart beats like it’s going to explode, and while all kinds of thoughts fill my head, a voice that seems to tear my insubstantial body to pieces pours out.
‘Gilles = Bexle, who boasted that there is no fear, no fear, and no fear, is scared and trembling in fear and is trying to run away in fear. Is this the reality of the noble and noble clan you speak of? What an insignificant and worthless entity.’
Go, fear? Is this fear? The feelings that the lowly lower classes would feel…… Are you suffering!?
‘Yes.’
It can’t be! I’m a baron! You are the chosen person!! As I feel fear…… Even the soul cannot be destroyed!!
‘No. You are a worm itself, less than a maggot crawling through the sewers of that slum. Feeling fearful and not wanting to die, then disappearing ugly, that’s the end that suits you.’
It’s a lie! It is a lie!! This, this situation is all lies!!!
‘It’s all true. You will now be annihilated and return to nothingness without ever entering the Garden of the Gods.’
No!!! It shouldn’t be like that. When I die, I enter the Garden of the Gods, and more and more!! There is a destiny to be reborn as a superior family.
Hwanin saw that the greyish-white soul turned red as Gilles = Bexle emitted light, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
I hope things will work out this well.
‘I’m sorry. There’s no such thing as that.’
Aaaaa…… !!!
Hwanin shot a soul arrow at the head of Gilles Bexle, who was now bright red and howled like a beast.
Blood shot-
Uh, uh uh, oh oh oh oh-
Gilles with a small hole between his eyes = Bexle’s head swells up like a balloon.
A grotesque scene, like a bomb right before it explodes. But without exploding, it exploded with a pop-like sound like a balloon bursting.
Subsequently, the body of the spiritual body, which had been dyed red, swelled up like a tire man as if struggling, then quickly absorbed something around it and became smaller…….
Grasp!
…… It emitted a short, strong wave of light and then disappeared.
= Huh? What.=
=Why?=
=No, I just felt like the air was shaking slightly…… Is it because of the mood?=
=I didn’t feel it.=
Anne tilted her head as if it were strange, but Isilite didn’t agree, so she moved on, thinking it was because of her mood.
While the light powder was floating like small dust in the afternoon sunlight, Hwanin stared at the light powder while hiding the smile on his lips.
‘It’s also possible to create a mixture.’
I came up with something I had imagined for a while in a labyrinth where light did not reach and put it into practice, but the result was beyond my expectations. Wouldn’t this be enough for mixed terrorism?
= Dew. Shall we turn around one more time?=
= Then. Master, I’m coming.=
“Okay.”
Isilite unfolds the map given to her by her phantom, and mates with Anne to her west room, where they share her story.
=This time, let’s do number 5 and go to room number 9.=
=Room 18?=
=The owner said it was a trap door. Go from 9 to 7 and then to 14. =
After the two of them went to the next room, Hwan-in looked at the place where Giles = Bexle disappeared.
‘But it’s difficult to carry out mixed terrorism.’
If a soul master other than himself can communicate with Honjae, it will be clear at once that the terror is his own work.
Of course, I would wear a hood, wear a hood, wear a mask, and take some measures to avoid being caught, but there is no reason to deliberately take risks.
Terrorism is truly a last resort.
Hwanin took out a blood-colored phase stone from her pocket and calmed her excitement a little by fiddling with it.
Rather, is it because they are extinguished without being purified, or is it because they are extinguished in the midst of becoming mixed?
Gilles: It was a bit disappointing that Bexle left nothing behind.
