24. Recruiting the Competent.
“… Are you going alone?”
The moment I was about to step over the window frame, I heard a voice. I turned around and saw Frances looking up at me with her fingers crossed.
“Then I have to go alone. It may take some time, but I can’t go with you, right?”
Frances pursed her lips and sulked.
“It takes a long time… ?”
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
“Yes… ….”
Leaving her behind her, looking somewhat regretful, I jumped from her window sill and jumped over her bars. After hiding his presence, he moved quickly.
As I moved, I opened the envelope Seldas handed me.
「Kazar Uplane. 21 Years old. A descendant of a local baron from Count Sayrel’s estate at the southern edge of the Empire.”
「Currently, I am immersed in my studies to escape Count Seirel’s tyranny. He moves out of his hometown and lives alone. Detailed location…… 」
The envelope contained detailed information about Kazar Uplane. Certainly, it is clean and tidy, befitting the empire’s best intelligence officer. But it does take one thing.
“The tyranny of Count Sayrel?”
Is the reason Kazar Youplane appeared from the middle of the game because he was captured by County Sayrel?
If I can solve this and buy a good impression, I’ll be able to take it easy. The plan was roughly conceived.
‘By the way, it’s the southern tip of the empire.’
The distance is too far. This might take some time.
“Um… ….”
It’s impossible to rent a wagon for now. Because i have no money Then it means that I have to go this far with only my legs…….
‘Should I use my aura to run?’
Gin Warenberg’s fighting power was S-class. He is stronger than any other character and has the world’s strongest level. If you use the aura to run, it will be faster than the carriage.
But the problem is that I might get tired…….
“Hmm.”
Well, it will be fine. Since he is the world’s strongest sword master, wouldn’t recovery be quick?
First you have to get out of the dukedom. If you run blindly while smashing the ground, that’s a problem.
I jumped high into the sky and climbed onto the roof of the building. I was able to go much faster by jumping over the roof and moving straight ahead.
How many times did it run? I was able to leave the duchy only after the sun had set.
“After.”
Thanks to my running while activating my aura, my legs didn’t hurt or get tired, but I sighed heavily because the road ahead was so far away.
Still, if you run at the speed of a sword master, won’t it go quickly? With that hope in mind, I pulled up the muscles in my legs to the max. The muscles expand and the surrounding air coolly sinks due to the aura.
Quang! Cracks like spider webs formed in the ground, and my body shot forward like an arrow.
‘At this speed, I’ll be there soon.’
With the speed of a sword master, I headed for Countess Sayrel at the southern tip of the Empire.
* * *
“It’s later than expected.”
I moved while resting, and it took me two days to get here from the Duchy of Descartes. Arrived slower than expected. I think Frances will be angry if I do this after saying I’ll be back soon.
“… ….”
Still, it’s done now that we’ve reached County Sayrel. Frances would understand if I told her the circumstances. I unfolded the map Seldas had put in the envelope.
The map shows the location of the house where Kazar Yu Plain lives, the places he usually goes to, and even the time of his activities.
‘This is enough to give me goosebumps.’
It’s not the best guild in the underworld for nothing. Since he had this level of ability, he must have been a member of Somire’s reverse harem. He doesn’t have a lot of luck, but one of his abilities is outstanding.
“Well, whatever.”
Let’s go find Kazar Uplane.
I went straight to the mansion where he lives. He’s said to be a provincial baron, so he’ll still live in a nice house.
But that was a stupid idea. There was only one old, shabby house left here when I arrived.
“Is it really worth living in a place like this?”
“What are you doing?”
“Woah, it’s a surprise.”
Turning her head, there was a woman looking at me with her head tilted. Even with my sensitive senses, I didn’t feel the presence at all. Certainly not a normal person.
“I’m looking for someone named Kazar Youplane. Do you know?”
A woman’s face turns cold as soon as Kazar’s name is mentioned. What is it, why are you like that?
“Why are you looking for that person?”
“There is a reason we must meet.”
“If you tell me, I will give it to you instead.”
“I’m sorry, but I can only tell the person in question.”
The woman giggled and tapped her own cheek with her index finger.
“Then talk to me.”
“What conversation?”
“I want to know who you are before I introduce you to him.”
“I don’t have time for that.”
“I can’t help it. Then I can’t tell you.”
What is this girl? Are you kidding me now?
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. Because I already have all the information.”
“Information?”
“I can’t tell you more.”
That was when I took a step back.
“You will never find it without my help?”
“What are you talking about again?”
“He’s someone you can’t find just by information.”
“… ….”
I opened her eyes shallowly and glared at her. Can I trust that bullsh*t? Still, since she was a person near Kazar’s house, I wondered if she was related to him.
“Okay, I’ll hang out with you.”
She agreed because it seemed like it would take too long to find Ka-Zar by checking places he often went to and even when he was active. He decided that it would be quicker to be introduced to someone he knew.
“I am… My name is Medea!”
“Yes, Medea. What are you trying to talk about?”
“Please come home first.”
“Are you living with Kazar Uplane?”
“Can you say that?”
A servant? I opened my eyes shallowly and glared at Medea.
“Even if you doubt that much, nothing comes out.”
“… ….”
“Just come in~ They won’t eat you.”
I nodded her head and followed her into her house.
“… ….”
The house was so messy that it would be safe to say it was a piece of sh*t. Countless books were spread out on the floor, materials related to magic, and tools needed for experiments were scattered.
“You seem to hate cleaning.”
“I’m going to take it out and use it again later, so I wondered if it was necessary to clean it up.”
I asked Medea.
“But I haven’t heard who you are. Are you going to be a family member or servant of Kazar Uplane?”
“I am not a servant. I can say that we are a family living together.”
You live together? Doubtful. Seldas said he lived alone. I can’t miss this detail. Medea is hiding something from me.
“So, what do you want to ask me? It’s because I don’t have time. I wish I could talk to Kazar Uplane soon.”
Medea said while pouring tea into her cup.
“You have an impatient personality. Just answer my questions and I’ll introduce you right away.”
Medea grinned when she expressed her arrogance and expressed her discomfort. What is so fun
“By the way, is this really where Kazar Uplane lives? You can’t even see the house of a local baron.”
As I looked around and frowned, Medea replied.
“Because the Earl of Sayrell is tyrannical. Except for the Count, everyone here can’t live. Whether it was a nobleman or a commoner.”
Hororok, Medea continued her words as she drank her tea, keeping her calm.
“First of all, the first question. What is the reason you came to Kazar Uplane?”
“I want to tell him about it by talking to him directly.”
“Think of me as an agent of Kazar Uplane.”
She felt a strange sense of deja vu from her serious face.
‘Something is strange.’
As I furrowed my eyebrows, she continued.
“Don’t be too suspicious. Because I know Kazar better than anyone else.”
Such, I doubt it, but there is no other way. I said while showing the pattern of Duke Descartes on the uniform.
“I am a knight from the Duchy of Descartes.”
“Oh, you are a precious person. Why did such a person come here?”
“I came because Kazar Uplane said he was good at magic.”
“How did you know he was good at magic?”
“The Duchy has an excellent intelligence dealer. I have all the information about Kazar Uplane.”
I raised my teacup and quenched my thirst.
“Well, you are a bit of a bad person. Doing a background check on someone else.”
“Isn’t this a story that has nothing to do with you?”
“That’s true too.”
Medea giggled. What’s so fun about it?
“So, would you like to take Kazar Yuplane to the Duchy?”
“Yes. We will pay for everything like a place to live and living expenses.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Should I even say this?”
He narrowed his eyebrows and glared at her. Medea just giggled.
“Tell me your purpose. You can’t blindly send Kazar to an unknown duchy.”
Tsk, I clicked my tongue.
“There is a person who wants me to teach him magic.”
“Who is that?”
“It is not information to be given to outsiders.”
As if Medea was interested, she grinned.
“But Khazar won’t leave here.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Why? If you go to the dukedom, you will be able to live in a much better place and receive support for everything.”
“There is still work to be done here.”
“Is it related to Earl Seirel?”
“You are quick-witted.”
Kazar’s purpose isn’t just to get out of this county, is he trying to do something against the tyrannical Count Sayrel? You should know about Kazar’s past in the game.
He was a character who didn’t have much of a presence in the game. Why is there such a thing Characters that have become airy because they have no weight in the framework of harem. Kazar Uplane was just that.
Medea continued.
“There is one condition if you want to take Kazar with you somehow.”
“What is it?”
“Please help stop the tyranny of Count Sayrel.”
“Do you know what I am?”
“I can feel it from the energy. You are quite, no. That you are strong enough to be compared to no one else.”
Are you trying to figure out the status of a sword master? Also, this woman is no ordinary person.
“Don’t be so vigilant. It’s just that my eyes are a bit special compared to others.”
“Yes. So, what should I do to stop the tyranny of Count Sayrel?”
“Assassinate Earl Seirel.”
“… What?”
What kind of floating noise is this again? Assassinate the count?
“Unlike his father, the heir to Count Sayrell is a competent and common sense person. He is a compassionate person who understands the lives of the people who live here. He could be a good lord.”
Medea continued her words as she poured tea into an empty teacup.
“If only Earl Seirel dies, the heir will take over the county, right? Then Earl Seirel’s tyranny will stop.”
Are you trying to assassinate the Count only for the heir? It’s not an easy problem. A count is the owner of a domain. If he is killed suddenly, the Empire will surely investigate.
“I don’t understand Khazar. You should be able to live well on your own, but you dare to assassinate the count.”
“He is a very affectionate person, and he is not one to leave people here to live alone.”
This is getting really tricky. The way to stop the tyranny is to assassinate the count.
It is not impossible. The problem is after that.
“What are you going to do when an investigation comes out in the Empire? And, if I report this to Earl Seirel, how are you going to tell me that kind of information to strangers?”
Medea shrugged her shoulders and replied.
“Earl Seirel is a person who has been blinded by the Empire, so he will not conduct a proper investigation. They’ll just finish the investigation as a form of formality and ask you to succeed.”
She went on and on.
“I don’t think the person who came to take Kazar from the Duchy of Descartes would step in vain.”
You read me better than I thought. I was going to help Kazar in order to gain favor anyway, so should I accept it?
“Okay. Don’t let me agree Let me meet Kazar now.”
Medea smiled and stood up from her seat.
“You’ve already met, right?”
“What?”
“I am Kazar Uplane.”
