Chapter 172 – Sarangyo, Take the Express Train to Hell! (2)
“It’s like a crazy bitch.”
Eric, an investigator of the cult of love, sat in the back alley of the Peta estate and grumbled. He was talking about Sieri, who had just come to the fore as the ‘Lord’s Deputy’. Long orange hair and big watery eyes gave off a fragile impression. However, the words that came out of that slender body were the most savage curse words.
“What? Fuck you? He must have trusted the knight commander or beastman next to him and said that.”
Sieri’s provocation was successfully eaten by Eric. It was because Eric, who dyed his face red and said it was an insult, was pushed out of the mansion by Robin’s strength his. Eric didn’t have the confidence to attack Robin, who widened his eyes, saying that if he went wild, he would use force to suppress it, so Eric ran away into the alley, spitting on the floor.
“Isn’t the Sarang Church funny?”
Eric couldn’t hold back his anger once again and threw his tantrum. Even though the cigarette in his hand his was burning all the way, Eric focused more on chewing the Sieri than on the cigarette. The other two men only exchanged glances with Eric’s notice. One of them asked Eric.
“By the way, older brother, what should we do now? If we can’t enter the mansion, we can’t even check if the priest is fine. There’s a lot of talk in the Daecheonsin Church these days that they’re a bit wary of the Sarang Church, but if we make a mistake here, it could be really big. .”
“There’s nothing big about it. The priest himself isn’t here, and what’s this case?
“Isn’t it detention?”
“Fuck. Are you that smart? Huh?”
Eric lashed out at his subordinate for swearing at him, then went on his way again.
“So, we don’t even have to fight the people in that mansion, right? We just need to know if our priest is being held, right?”
Eric again asked his men for their consent. His men his nodded at him. After Eric was convinced that he was right,
“The commander of the knights is also a very scary man, but what will happen if we fight?”
“It will be very smashed.”
“Okay, then what should I do?”
“Uh… Go back and talk politely…”
“Fuck you, you bastard!”
Eric shouted again. A street vendor was startedled by the voice and came over to inspect his back alley. Eric frowned and said.
“What.”
“Oops, no.”
Eric spoke to his men again after the street vendor had disappeared.
“Isn’t it enough to go secretly and see what our priest is doing? Huh?”
“Oh, yes. You can go and see it secretly.”
Eric threw his burnt cigarette on the floor as he watched his subordinate nod at his words his. Then he stepped on the fire with his foot and said.
“Did you say you live by the sea?”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever talked to a mermaid?”
“Yes. Originally, I was a mermaid catcher. I almost caught a mermaid in the capital the other day.”
“You’re so competent, why did you come under me?”
“I almost caught it, but I missed it.”
“Skinny bastard. So, you’ve talked to mermaids a lot?”
“According to the Sarangyo manual, I have learned it very perfectly. This is the second time I’ve played, but it’ll probably be fine.”
“Do you have such a textbook?”
Eric asked, raising the corners of his eyes slightly. It was the first time he had heard of a manual for handling mermaids.
“Yes. There is a manual made by the headmaster.”
“He makes everything. Then you can go and contact them. Looking here, the borders don’t seem to be that strict. All peaceful territories are like that, but the mansion security isn’t particularly good here.”
“All right.”
Eric looked at the mansion’s fence. The wall was quite high, but not unreachable. When he looked around from the gate earlier, he didn’t see many guards either. Eric exclaimed, exchanging glances with his men and extending his hand.
“Trust!”
His men raised their hands in unison.
“Hope!”
“Hope!”
Eric frowned and slapped his men in the back of the head.
“Fuck! One is hope! One is love. Bastards. How many times do I have to tell you to understand?”
The sound of a naked beating echoed from the back alley. The residents of Peta Manor poked their heads out into the back alleys at the unusual disturbance, but shut their mouths at Eric’s stern look and passed by as if they didn’t see it. It was because he thought there would be no good in intervening in the squabbles of strangers.
That evening. Eric and two of his men sneaked around the estate’s walls. The size of the mansion was relatively small for the size of the Peta Mansion, but the guards were allocated for that size, and the guards on the fence were lax.
Even though the suspicious trio, including Eric, came near the fence of the mansion, the guards showed no signs of stopping them. No, the guards didn’t exist at all. The gate was firmly locked, and the guards patrolling at night only roamed around the village and did not come and go near the mansion.
Eric lowered his voice.
“Will it be easier than I thought?”
“Isn’t it like a trap?”
“If you’re going to catch it, wouldn’t you have tried to catch it at the gate earlier? Look around more. You over there. You over there.”
Erik made them both look back at each other separately. Then he hid himself in the shade at the corner of the fence to avoid the gaze of the guards. The guard who stopped patrolling and came to see that no one was there yawned and disappeared into the distance.
“Sick.”
Erik laughed at the guard’s lazy patrol. Is it because Yeongji is peaceful? There was no tension in the guards’ movements. The subordinate who ran to the right approached slowly, muffled by the sound of footsteps. He drew his X over his head. This meant that there were no holes or gaps.
Another subordinate walked from the other side. He stopped at a corner and circled it. Eric and his men quickly moved in that direction. This side of the wall was adjacent to a deserted vacant lot.
Although the walls were relatively low, they were so solid and tightly packed that there seemed to be no hole to sneak into. Eric asked, looking at his subordinate his.
“Why did you bring them here? Nothing.”
“Oh, it’s not the wall, I called it because there’s something interesting here.”
“Anything interesting?”
The subordinate started to follow the road with Eric. At the end of a bumpy dirt road, I saw an empty lot and a hut.
“What is this place? Why did you leave the land empty?”
“I think there is a field but no owner? It seems that the house here is also empty.”
“How are you?”
Eric and his men were more interested in empty lots and empty houses than in the relatively low height of the fence. Eric cautiously approached the house and opened the door. The inside of the building was full of dust, as if no one had lived there for quite some time.
“What are you doing here? Why are you building a house well?”
“How about we use it as a base?”
Subordinate suggested. Eric thought it over and nodded his head, thinking it was pretty good. It was quite far from the mansion, so no one came to visit. Even so, he liked to keep an eye on the mansion because he could see it at a glance. It was out of sight because it was far from the village, and judging from the state of the house, it didn’t seem like anyone had visited.
“It looks like we’ll have to watch for a few more days anyway. So let’s make this a base.”
When the captain, Eric, gave permission, the two men nodded and went to tidy up. One of his men was clearing out clutter from inside the house, shrugging at Eric’s compliment.
“Since when has the house been empty?”
It didn’t look like an accidental sale. In this world where ghosts and monsters exist, when an accident occurs, an exorcism ceremony is performed immediately and even the house is demolished. A house vacated due to an unfortunate incident was not popular and caused the land to rise.
“Maybe the migrants haven’t come in yet?”
“Still, the land is quite large…”
Eric shook his head as if it was strange, but soon erased this worry from his head. Their duty was not to investigate the house, but to check whether the priest imprisoned in the mansion was doing well or not.
According to the current plan, the first hitter was to be a subordinate from the mermaid capture squad.
“Now, to explain the outline of the plan, our priest sent a letter to Sarang Church Headquarters with a password requesting help. If it starts with , it means that there will be no letters for a while, and if it starts with self-introduction without greetings like this, it means that it is an emergency situation and a rescue request to come to the rescue.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
The two subordinates nodded. Eric said again with a pleasant smile that the two of them were listening.
“So, we have to check if the priest is doing well here. If the priest sent this letter because he disobeyed the simple investigation of the territory, send a letter saying that there is nothing wrong with the Sarang Church headquarters and explain the situation to the priest. Do it. But on the other hand, if the priest is being held captive in the Peta Territory, we must rescue him.”
“Can’t we just send in all the agents and rescue them?”
“The other party is the head priest of the Daecheonsingyo Church. If they invade the mansion and cause a fatal accident, the relationship with the Daecheonsingyo itself will fall apart. If we make a mistake, we may not be able to conduct missionary activities in the entire south. That’s why I’m trying to approach it carefully.”
“Ah, are you saying you don’t know?”
“Yes. Just in case. I looked inside the mansion earlier and found that the Peta Manor is breeding a mermaid.
“That’s terrible. That’s mermaid abuse!”
An excited subordinate knocked on the desk and shouted. Eric raised his finger to silence his subordinate his.
“Fuck mermaid abuse or whatever, you said you were a mermaid expert right?”
“Yes!”
The subordinate was trembling with his face flushed red as if his stomach was boiling.
“So, I’m saying that you should use that flamboyant persuasion technique to roast and boil a mermaid and ask about our priest’s current situation. Do you understand?”
“Okay! I will definitely persuade the mermaid to bring both the priest and the mermaid!”
“It’s up to you to bring the mermaid, so don’t you get caught?”
“I’ll be careful.”
Eric looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression and asked.
“And why are you so pissed off? The lord here is a man who likes mermaids and even officially married a mermaid. A man who married a mermaid might have sex with a mermaid, right?”
“Even mermaids have the right to decide who they have sex with. Why doesn’t Eric know that? Even if they seem to have consensual sex, mermaids are also victims of human power!”
“…Crazy bastard.”
Even though Eric himself was a member of the Sarang Church, he couldn’t handle the madness sometimes shown by his fellow members of his. Eric hurriedly ended the conversation, thinking that it would be a big deal if we talked about this further.
“Well then, let’s take another look at the mansion tomorrow and get to work. Faith.”
“Hee… Love.”
“Hee… Love.”
“…Hey, you bastards.”
