Rioshko (5)
185
Rey opened Berrett’s mouth.
Ray couldn’t escape the shock, grabbed Berret’s bubbly head and asked again.
“What’s your relationship with the Warlock?”
“Uh… Mo, I don’t know…! You’re wrong now!!”
“Oh, this bastard is poisonous.”
At this point, I was just gibbling about what I knew and didn’t know, but Berrett persisted.
Rey pondered for a moment, then lifted the staff up.
“Hey, do you know the name of this wand?”
“…”
“It’s the staff of truth.”
“Ugh…!!”
Rey shoved the rope into Berrett’s mouth with a wretched hand.
Barrett, who had already been bitten by the rope several times, twitched reflexively.
Rei was contemplating how much more to do with this, scratching her forehead and opening her mouth.
“Hey, guild chief.”
“Ugh…!”
“If you answer well, I won’t kill you and I’ll send you back. If I kill you, I’ll be in trouble too.”
If Barrett goes missing, everyone in Rioshko will blame Rey, whether he kills him or not.
So, as long as he vomits up the information, Rey said with a smile that he would like to get along again, and moved the staff.
“Guild leader, I can still recover enough if I do some recuperation. If I get some divine power, I’ll get better soon. There won’t be any aftereffects.”
“Eup…! Eup…!”
“But if you keep your mouth shut, I can only become rough.”
Rey tapped Barrett’s knee, which had been studded with iron nails with the tip of the staff, and moved the tip of the staff between Berret’s groin.
“Next time I’ll nail it here…”
The staff went down and looked at Berrett’s eyeballs hanging upside down.
“Then I’m going to nail it here and wear it out.”
“Ugh…!!”
“There aren’t many opportunities, so think carefully.”
Paz!
“Shut up!!!!!”
Rey smiled broadly after passing enough current through the iron core that Rey had put into Berrett’s knee.
Those forcibly ripped corners of her lips shone so terribly through Berrett’s hazy vision.
Rey bent her knees, making eye contact with Berrett exactly, then unlocked the gag.
“Is there anything more you want to say?”
Barrett hurriedly vomited.
“Ahhh! Heck…! Count Gyllenhaal…! Count Gyllenhaal!”
“The Earl of Gyllenhaal?”
Count Gyllenhaal was a nobleman in charge of Rioschko.
Riosko was a direct control of the royal family, and Gyllenhaal was an administrator dispatched by the royal family.
Therefore, the count of Gyllenhaal was closer to a title that symbolized rank, not a proper title.
Barrett nodded and continued to speak.
“I really don’t know… I just did what Earl Gyllenhaal told me…”
“What did Gyllenhaal do?”
“Bring Olda into the forest…”
“You thought you’d never see my face again until we quietly followed the guide, didn’t you?”
“Ugh…! Ugh…!!!”
Rey shoved the rope into Berrett’s mouth and then slammed the frantic Berrett’s jaw down.
Go-! With the sound, Barrett’s body drooped down.
Ray nervously kicked Berrett in the temple and opened the door.
Bang, who was standing outside the door, bowed his head slightly and opened his mouth.
“Is the interrogation over?”
“Roughly.”
Bang wasn’t playing while Ray was interrogating.
Bang was also ‘interrogating’ Lasker, a mercenary he met in the Wyvern’s nest in the room next to Rey.
“How’s that one?”
“The mercenary didn’t know much. He spat out a lot of gibberish, but in the end he didn’t get anything other than doing what the guild leader told him to do.”
“okay?”
When Ray is contemplating whether he should go to George Gyllenhaal this time.
I heard someone coming up the stairs from downstairs.
The person who unilaterally pushed the intelligence unit that had been erected as a sentry passed through the soundproof barrier.
Rey stopped him from taking his hand to the hilt of the sword.
Soon after, Comet, deputy director of the Alimo branch of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, stomped down the hallway and stood in front of Rey.
“Did you kidnap the guild leader?”
“…”
“What the hell were you thinking…!!!”
“Comet.”
Ray showed a subtle momentum and warned.
“If you don’t want to be humiliated in front of the kids, lower your voice.”
“…”
Rei narrowed the distance with Comet, who snorted in a row out of excitement.
“Did you know that the high ranks of Rioshko are fighting with the Warlock?”
“No, that’s…!”
“Answer, good job.”
“Of course… I knew it! I know it, the mercenaries here know it, the Emperor knows it, and I know it all!”
“What nonsense is that?”
“that…”
As Rey’s momentum grew stronger, Comet stepped back and took a deep breath before continuing.
“The Forbidden Forest is an area that cannot be purified.”
Even if you try to purify it, it will soon become contaminated again with the power of a transcendent being.

No one knew how much sacrifice they would have to make in order to find and punish all the evil beings hiding in such a forbidden forest.
Also, the Forbidden Forest was a treasure trove of valuable resources.
The Alimo Kingdom was getting huge profits from the by-products of monsters and other resources that could be obtained from the Forbidden Forest.
Horse towers all over the continent were also engaged in various lobbying activities because they wanted a stable supply of corpses of monsters.
“Everyone knows that demon worshipers often hide in the Forbidden Forest… You can’t know.”
However, no effort was made to catch them.
The damage to be endured was too great to operate in the Forbidden Forest, and there was no profit to be gained.
on the contrary.
“High-ranking people from all walks of life, who are entwined with the interests of the Forbidden Forest, make deals with demon worshipers within the forest.”
to get more profits.
“It’s an open secret that you’re dealing with demon worshipers. Of course the Empire knows.”
“Crazy.”
Ray said that, but understood the situation without difficulty.
The warlock, hiding in the Forbidden Forest and never coming out, appeared to be no threat.
Since there has not been a ‘very big problem’ for hundreds of years, the ease has spread widely, and in the meantime, the enormous interest is entwined, so it has reached the point of teaming up with a warlock.
“What exactly do you mean by trade?”
“Warlocks are good at dealing with monsters. If you forcefully increase the number of certain high-value monsters and drive them into a pre-designated area, traders will be able to capture the monsters and make great profits very easily. There are many more.”
“What does a warlock get in return?”
“They will be handed over the necessary supplies. They’ll have to spend a lot of money, but it won’t be easy for them to get the supplies they need outside of that route…”
Comet frowned at the end of his speech.
Many of the towers, including the key rulers of the Alimo Kingdom, were indirectly linked with the Demon Worshipers of the Forbidden Forest.
Of course, the powers of the kingdom and the matoap did not worship the devil.
“However, I would hate to have my rights violated. I would hate having my skin exposed even more. I would be very upset! I will move to kill you!!”
Excited again, Comet raised his voice.
“What do you think will come out of one guild leader here? Who’s next? Gyllenhaal? He’s a puppet too! Why don’t you just go into the palace?”
Comet pointed and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
“If you wanted to search there, you should have dispatched the army instead of coming alone! Are you planning to go to war with the kingdom alone?! Please stop doing things you can’t handle…!!”
Rey reached out and grabbed Comet’s neck.
Rey, who carried the comet with the kink, opened the door next to it and threw it inside.
Comet rolled to the floor and was startled as he tried to catch his breath.
The stench was vibrating in the room.
When I turned around, there were a few corpses of monsters that had been monstrously deformed to the extent that it was difficult to describe them easily.
Rey also called all the spies guarding the hallway into the room.
The spies who raised their heads could not help but be astonished.
Rey walked over to Comet and bent her knee.
“Listen, Comet.”
“…”
“The guide who guided me exploded like a bomb because of the insects planted by the warlock. In the Forbidden Forest, dozens of such monsters attacked us, and the warlock who deals with two high-level dark spirits said that they would use us as test subjects. did it.”
“…”
“I tried to interrogate a young warlock who didn’t even know the subject, but he also exploded in the head. Do you know what that means?”
“…”
“It’s not that the hierarchy is thorough, so there is a powerful boss in the forest who can control even the lifeline of his subordinates.”
Even if the number of warlocks was quite large, if they were split, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
However, if it was integrated into one by someone, the risk increased incomparably.
“Even if the number of monsters you are looking at now exceeds four, it will be difficult for an expert-level knight to deal with it alone. How many more monsters like this in that forest? Hundreds? Thousands? How many more demon worshipers are hiding there?”
“…”
Rey took a step back and warned.
“Maliciousness has begun to descend upon the world.”
“…”
“If the malice in that forest begins to move, the whole kingdom in which you lie and suck honey will crumble.”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nonsense.
Amid the stench that stung his nose, Comet was undecided.
“…So what are you going to do?”
“It’s hard to remodel a monster like this in the middle of an empty forest. There’s a huge stronghold of demon worshipers inside. We need to find that stronghold and check what they’re doing, even if they can’t destroy it.”
“How are you going to find your base…?”
“You’re going to be a noble and everything until you get a bastard with useful information. Do you have a better opinion? I’ll give you a chance to speak.”
“…”
The silent Comet looked at the monster’s corpse once more, closed his eyes and sighed.
Ray’s opinion was partially valid. However, it was not wise to trace the nobles and find their base.
Even if they traded goods with kingdom officials, there was no way the warlocks could expose their stronghold to the outside world.
It would be nice to be able to capture information and extract information, but Rey said that the captured warlock’s head exploded right away.
At least those who have information to infer where the warlocks are based…
“Whoa… The Silver Cross Knights are coming here. Actually, that’s why I was going to tell you to leave…”
“Where is the Knights Templar of the Silver Cross?”
“One of the Seven Knights of the Kingdom. Although the most lagging behind…”
“Do you know why they come here?”
“Because of the Empire.”
“Empire?”
“That… information that demons appeared during the battle for the imperial power of the empire…”
“It’s true. Eridanus aimed at the Warpgate.”
Comet asked in surprise.
“Is it true that the demon that caused the destruction of the two countries 600 years ago appeared again?”
“Yeah, it’s true.”
After the appearance of Eridanus, the Empire announced the appearance of demons to each country and warned of the action of ‘evil’.
Because the matter itself was so sensitive, the high-ranking officials in each country who had access to the information controlled the information in an appropriate way.
Comet was aware of the appearance of the demon itself, but thought that the unconfirmed information that it was ‘Eridanus’ was close to a rumor.
But Comet, confirmed to be true, wiped his face with both hands.
“Oh my God…”
“…”
“…that, perhaps because of that incident, the Empire is putting strong pressure on each country to be wary of the call of demon worshipers and demons.”
“That’s why the Kingdom sent the Silver Cross Knights to the Forbidden Forest?”
“It’s sarcastic. Originally, I didn’t want to send even the Knights. But…”
“but?”
“If it’s not a contempt, the Templar may have something to infer the stronghold of their demon worshipers. Not a single Templar can search through that vast forest.”
“Then I’ll have to contact them.”
“…are you really crazy? You’re going to make this uproar in Rioshco and get in touch with them?”
Comet had no choice but to say harsh words.
There was no way the Silver Cross Knights would welcome Rey.
Ray grinned.
“If it doesn’t make sense, I have to do it my way.”
“You’re only making crazy noises. What kind of confidence are you? Do you think the military power of the kingdom is so ridiculous? Even if you say that you can fool a single knight and escape, what’s next?!”
“Oh, Comet. I won’t say it twice, so listen carefully.”
Rey’s cold voice rang in Comet’s ears.
Comet got goosebumps for some reason and pushed the floor with his heel.
Rei, who had personally raised Comet from floundering on the dirty floor, had a soft smile on her lips.
“There are demons who have been revamped in the Empire.”
“…”
“I was the one who ripped that bastard apart.”
*
The Knights of the Silver Cross were heading to Riosko in the early morning sunlight.
Leoni, a young knight serving as the vice-leader of the Silver Cross Knights, thought.
‘Oh, that’s f*cked up.’
This time, the mission I was assigned to was really unsatisfying, it was easy to hate others, and it was a dangerously dangerous mission.
Of course, no one wanted to take it.
If it had stayed still, the Silver Cross Knights would not have moved.
However, Gilland, the commander of the Silver Cross Knights, whom Leoni respected and respected, went out to take on the task himself.
Leoni stared at Gilland, who was driving the horse in the lead.
Gilland’s natural personality was so savvy, he moved between Korea and the US compared to his abilities.
If Leoni, who had a strong family, hadn’t pushed Gilland, he would have given up his position as the commander of the Silver Cross and was demoted.
That Gilland had an accident this time. Leony pulled the back of his neck.
“Captain, aren’t you really going to enter the Forbidden Forest? Are you going to just go around the perimeter and finish it?”
“Deep exploration is our mission.”
“Ahh!! Leader!! Did you really want to die?! You’re going to die alone!!”
Gilland took the world seriously.
“You mean disobeying orders? Breaking orders is a felony.”
“Oh my God!! Will you even cut my head off? Yes?!”
The knights tried to laugh lightly at the conversation between the leader and the vice-chief as usual, but the corners of their mouths did not move well.
As such, this mission was dangerous and the support was poor.
Due to the lobbying activities of the Tower and the attention paid to them, the Silver Cross Knights did not receive support from good wizards.
In fact, the knights almost moved together, so Leoni paid a lot of money and hired a small number of wizard mercenaries to accompany them.
As a wizard who works as a mercenary, his skills were not very good, but he had no choice but to do it.
There were two paladins from the denomination that raised Gilland’s rigidity and spirit, but it was still not a great skill.
It was not strange that if he dug into the depths of the forest that is now forbidden with all his power, he suffered close to annihilation.
Everyone was in trouble and moaning, and a group of people on horseback approached me in front of me.
A nobleman who adorned himself splendidly shouted among his escorts.
“Are you the Silver Cross Knights?”
“Yes. Who are you?”
“Ha, good luck. I’m Earl of Gyllenhaal. Thank you for coming here.”
“Hello. Thank you for coming out to meet me…”
went too far Moreover, the time is still early.
Gilland was puzzled, and Gyllenhaal responded quickly.
“I have a request for help. A certain rookie boat roams Rioshko and is doing bad things, but it’s difficult to subdue it due to its lack of skill. I’m asking for help from the Silver Cross Knights.”
As soon as he heard that Ray and his party had returned alive from the forbidden forest, Gyllenhaal, who ran all the way here, earnestly asked for it .
