90. The girl who will later be called Geomje (2)
The reason why she wants to play Kaarak of Chilseong is none other than to increase Mook’s hostility.
It is a bit strange to use Baron Roark in this regard, but he is not just a criminal, he is engaged in drug smuggling.
‘I have to be punished.’
We do not know where drugs are distributed. Because the amount of land the empire occupies on this huge continent is ridiculously large.
Like other crimes, drugs are a shortcut to ruining a country. It’s not for nothing that the state is using its energy to crack down on drugs.
Ladea asked.
“But how do you plan to bring Baron Roark back? “Security is tight.”
After making a contract to follow France once this is over, Lathea has been using such a stiff tone of voice for some time now. It’s a little uncomfortable.
“Do you know that a guild called Mook has recently entered the empire and the atmosphere is in turmoil?”
Radea nodded, “I know this is an incident that could turn the country upside down.”
“I plan to use that. “Actually, I was there and I know the names of those who attacked.”
Kaarak is the only one who survived in Chilseong. The second strongest in Mook are Kale and Seldas. And he is like a monster who even neutralized Ka-Jar.
I’m going to borrow this guy’s name.
“… Come to think of it, he said he was in charge of escorting Princess Descartes. “Of course you were there.”
I answered, “That’s right,” And continued.
“He’s the only one alive there, and he’s probably still in the empire. “There was no information that he went out separately.”
If word is heard that an accident occurred in the Barony of Roark, as if he had messed with the Descartes duchy, the empire would look for Kaarak at least for the sake of its external reputation.
‘I’m still frantic.’
Well, anyway.
“Radea. Even the little things are good, so from now on, tell me everything you know about Baron Roarke.”
After Radea swallowed his saliva, he told her all the information he knew.
It is said that Baron Roark has been doing business with a small nation called Reyaka, bordering the north, for over 10 years.
Reyaka is a country that is almost like a mess, so it is said to be close to a lawless area.
‘They’re manufacturing drugs there.’
It is said that it is currently being smuggled from a place at the northern end of the Barony.
“Would this have been helpful?”
“Do you know the Baron’s information?”
“Yes. “I know how much the expenses are.”
“More than that, tell me what the people there are like.”
It is confirmed that Baron Roark will be captured. But others may get hurt in the process.
If they are just like the Baron, just kill them.
“The employees and the people who went in as security guards are not really bad people. I went in to make a living anyway. Especially users… “It would be correct to see him as a victim.”
Victim? Something is bothering me.
“Victim? “Tell me in detail.”
“Well, most of the users are women… ….”
Wow, I feel really bad right from the beginning. I waved my hands and frowned.
“I understand without you having to say it. “It’s evil.”
He was in the same family as Count Seirel. Why is it that the nobles here have the same repertoire?

“Who are the people in charge of security?”
Ladea said as she covered Laia, who was sleeping, with a torn blanket.
“There are many drivers who have nowhere to go. Some are former mercenaries or adventurers. “Most of them are good people.”
Unlike the baron, the owner of the estate, there are proper people gathered here. Even in a land like this, he had such a disposition.
“Okay, I’ve roughly decided what to do.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“Just attack head on and take out the baron.”
Ladea’s expression was distorted as if a piece of paper had been crumpled.
“… “Are you out of your mind?”
“Extremely sane.”
“No, no matter how much you are a knight of the Duke’s family… ….”
Now that I think about it, he didn’t know who I was, right? I smiled and spoke triumphantly.
“Do you know who I am?”
“… “Who are you?”
“Don’t be surprised.”
“Say something quickly.”
Wow, the reaction is cold.
“It’s Gene Barenberg.”
“… !”
Ladea’s eyes changed into rabbit eyes. Her mouth opened slightly and her neck fell back.
“Uh, that Jean Barenberg?”
“Yes.”
“Really? I can’t believe it…….”
Yes, this is the reaction. I seem to be famous even in this northern baronial territory, which is like a village.
“You know there’s no problem now, right?”
“I see. “If it were true, there would be no problem.”
Still speaking stiffly. I want to go with something a little more familiar, like kale or kajar. Because we have to work together in the future.
“Okay, then wait here.”
“Am I not going with you?”
“If you go, the plan will be ruined.”
Isn’t it strange that Kaarak carries around an imperial citizen with pure white skin? I was born in Warenberg, so it doesn’t matter because we have similar skin.
“Anyway, when everything is done, come here and let me know.”
Radea tilted her head.
“Can’t we just bring him here?”
“There’s Laia.”
“Ah… ….”
It’s because the person called Unni is so inconsiderate.
“I understand. “Then I’ll be waiting.”
“Okay. Oh, do you have a robe or something?”
“I have the robe I used. I think it will be small…….”
“It doesn’t matter, just give me that. “All you have to do is cover your uniform.”
Radea handed over the shabby brown robe that was stuck in her corner. It has a musty smell, probably because it’s covered in the blood of a demonic beast.
“… ….”
I can’t help it. Because there is no other option. I put on my robe and went out the door.
‘The operation has begun.’
* * *
France sits next to the bed where Kazar is lying, waiting for her to wake up.
“Hmm… ….”
Jin said. How about trusting others more? But France stubbornly refused. Because she didn’t trust anyone. Because I couldn’t do it.
However, while Kazaar was protecting France in a situation where he could die, he was hit directly by the red whirlwind.
Suddenly. France clenched her fists without realizing it.
“Ha… ….”
A sense of self-destruction comes over me. Guilty. France didn’t have the decency to look at Kazar.
She thought of herself as her true friend and student and protected her, but in reality, France did not trust her and thought she was just hired.
France felt his head pounding. At that time, he closed his eyes and pressed his temples.
Rattle.
The door opened and Helena came in.
France’s favorite tea and teaware. She also brought in several letters.
“What’s going on?”
“Ah, Viscount Elvan sent a letter.”
Now that I think about it, she hasn’t been able to mind her business at all these past few days. She was already opening a store in another territory.
“Give it to me.”
France received her letter from Helena. Helena poured tea next to her.
“Hmm… ….”
Fortunately, Viscount Elvan was handling things well. I liked him because he clearly distinguishes between public and private life, and he is the best as a secretary because he does his work perfectly.
The magic stone mining and tower construction projects were also handled by Viscount Elvan. It seems that France took care of the assassination attempt by Chilseong and did the work that he was not assigned to do.
‘This person is also funny.’
Recently, there are a lot of people who feel strange.
Kazar took all the damage from protecting himself. She was able to run away alone, but Cale saved her by spitting out her own blood. Viscount Elvan works without pay out of consideration for himself. The Master of Exceed came when I thought it was really the end.
France smiled bitterly as she touched her letter.
‘Nothing Jin says is wrong.’
I put her finished letter on the table and drank the tea that Helena gave me. As I was savoring her scent to soothe my troubled mind, I felt her tossing and turning in bed.
“Khazar?”
“Umm… ….”
France stood up and examined Ka-Zar’s condition with wide eyes.
“Kazar!”
“Ah… ….”
Kazar slowly opens his eyes with a haggard face. Even though I called the court wizard and used healing magic, my condition did not improve, which was fortunate.
“How are you feeling?”
Kazar slowly turns his head and looks at France.
“… “I have a little headache.”
Little by little, she raised her back and sat down on the bed, pressing her forehead.
“Would you like some black tea?”
“Ah, yes. “I was a bit thirsty.”
Helena was quick to notice and had already prepared the tea. “Oh, thank you,” Ka-Jar said, and she took it, and she chugged it down.
“Whoa…” ….”
My complexion still doesn’t look good. France had a lot of questions she wanted to ask right away, but when she saw her condition, she thought it would be better to put it off until later.
“Is this Duke Descartes’ residence?”
“That’s right. “It’s an empty room that was left as her guest room.”
Khazar passed her teacup to Helena and moved her heavy body to sit on her bed and put on her slippers.
“Now that I’m okay, I want to go home. Can you prepare a carriage for me?”
“Of course. Helena? Please prepare a carriage. “You and I will go together.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Helena quickly leaves the room. France said.
“The carriage will be ready soon. “Can you get up?”
“Yes. It’s a little sore, but I think it’s okay. “How long has it been since I collapsed?”
“One week. “I called her healer and tried using holy magic and restoring her magic, but it didn’t work.”
Kazar said, “Is that so…?” ….” She nodded.
“That spell was a spell that blocked the flow of magical power. “I was in bad shape as the magical power in my body stopped.”
Kazar brings back memories of that time. The spell of the red whirlwind. Considering that it penetrated trees, it seemed like it could attack both the outside and the inside.
“I can’t believe that such witchcraft is allowed in Sahara.”
France also agreed to this.
“That’s right. I learned that all witchcraft was prohibited…….”
Sorcery is such an ominous power that each country has blocked it at its source by burning materials or tabooing it. But in Sahara, they are using it openly.
“Anyway, I have to go home now. “I want to lie down in a comfortable place.”
France said, “Okay, let’s do it,” And moved along, supporting Kazar. So we boarded the carriage prepared by Helena and moved to Kazar’s house.
I used black magic to open the door on behalf of Kazar, who had difficulty moving, and moved him to the bed on the second floor.
“Helena, please clean my room.”
“Yes.”
Helena was entrusted with the detailed cleaning, and France took care of the messy luggage. It was a bit of reflection for Kajar.
How much time has passed? After cleaning Kajar’s house, which was like a pigsty, France sat down at the table for a moment to catch her breath.
“It would be nice to be here today. “I can’t leave Ka-Jar alone.”
“Yes. “It would be better.”
France rests his chin on the table and stares straight ahead. Meanwhile, he found a book that stood out in particular.
“… ?”
A magic book that looks unusual at first glance. Without realizing it, France used the shadow to pull out the book.
‘It’s a magic book written in rune, right?’
France recently learned rune language. Anyway, I had some time left over to take care of Kazar, so it worked out well.
“Helena. “Please prepare tea.”
“Yes. “I don’t have any black tea. Should I prepare honey tea?”
“Yes.”
Helena went to prepare her tea, and France opened her magic book.
The runes written in the magic book were on a different level from the runes that France had learned. I felt dizzy just looking at the letters, and it was difficult to open my eyes because the magic was swirling around me.
‘I can’t read this carelessly.’
The moment I shook my head and tried to put the magic book back. He found an unusual pair of glasses right next to him.
“… Hmm?”
These are glasses with a strong sense of magical power. It seemed like a spell had been cast.
‘Enchanted glasses?’
He brought his glasses and put them on, just in case, and looked at the magic book again.
Unlike before, I didn’t feel dizzy from the letters, and the magic power that had been swirling wildly from the runes had stabilized.
‘I guess I can decipher this.’
France started deciphering the first page of the magic book.
