Chapter 191 – Larsen Manor – 2
“Aaaaagh!”
Chii profit!
With the heat, the seismic iron rod is lightly crushed on the chest of the man who was captured in the Larsen estate.
“Mo, I don’t know… , Aaaaagh! Save, save, save! I really don’t know!”
Wounds and blood.
An underground world full of fear and pain.
Damp air, unpleasant smell. Touch, smell, and hearing. In the midst of a space where all of them undermine human dignity, the man who was frightened by the screams coming from outside and turned his gaze to the door, was startled and trembled when the door opened.
“Oh, sorry for being late.”
“Hee, hee!”
The man who entered, closing the rattling door, smiled softly at the frightened man sitting in the chair.
The eyes of the man in the room trembled as he looked at the clothes of the man who entered the room.
“This.”
Seeing that gaze, the man also lowered his head and smiled.
“He buried it again.”
Dark red marks on the man’s clothes. The dark red liquid clinging to the chest and abdomen seemed to flow as if it had just been spilled.
“Hick!”
The dark red traces on the clothes and the stinging smell that can be felt there.
It was enough to know that it was blood.
The man looked around for a while, then wiped his clothes with a towel placed nearby (the towel was not very clean and had many red spots) and smiled at the man in the room.
“Haha. I wish I was as quiet as you. I was stubborn and made things complicated and took so much time.”
Haha… !”
A man came over and sat across from me with a friendly smile.
He was frightened by the man’s behavior, and he couldn’t help but laugh along.
‘Fuck… !’
How did it happen!
Of course, the man did not know the cause either. Baron Paulette Larson. It was to deliver news to the South Central Noble Union by order of the owner of Larsen Manor.
However, the night they left the Larsen estate. He was immediately kidnapped in the middle of the night. Not only the party that started out with them, but even the mercenaries they hired with a lot of money were incapacitated without time to use their hands.
‘Boo, they must be the three-earth family allies that are besieging us… ! Fucked!’
The man gulped and looked around, but he barely held his breath at the sight of the dark, closed room.
Seeing such a man, the man who entered the room, Zeke Pelast, took out a document from his bosom.
“See. The name… Is it Tron?”
“Yes, yes!”
The man called Tron answered Zeke’s words without hiding his nervousness.
“Well, you don’t have to be too nervous. If you cooperate with me, you won’t get sick. I’ve been tortured once or twice, and since I’m over 20, I’m pretty tired too, right?”
Seeing Zeke talking with a grin, Tron’s complexion turned blue.
Say you’re over twenty. I don’t know the details of the people who have been dispatched so far, but I’m aware of it.
It’s not a huge piece of land, and the people who work under the baron are there. Not to mention, Tron himself, whose status was enough to be dispatched as an errand boy, was familiar to everyone, and he knew that they had recently disappeared.
Aaaaagh-!!
“Hee!”
Looking at Tron, who was frightened by the distant screams, Zeke smiled and said.
“Now, wouldn’t it be better to start the story from the beginning?”
* * *
“Good job?”
“Okay, Leo-sama.”
I looked in the direction where Zeke, who smelled of blood, came out.
Surely this was a prison?
Although there were no traces of Zeke’s clothes after he had taken off his overalls, he could tell what was going on by the subtle smell.
Zeke also smiled bitterly and stopped coming closer.
“Oops, I’m asking for the smell.”
“To this extent I…”
“I’m scolded by Charlotte and Neria.”
“Mmm.”
I quietly widened the distance at Zeke’s words.
Other than that, it’s a bit like when two people get angry.
The two are acting as a sort of maids at Müller Castle, the capital of Count Hyperion.
Of course, they are two people without magical powers, but the things I love are famous inside the castle. In addition, Triana’s handmaid was also a Mullerian and had connections with local dignitaries, so the three of them held the title of chief maid.
Inside is Charlotte and Neria. Was the entertainment the way Triana’s lady-in-waiting would do?
“How about the guy you captured this time? Is it useful?”
“Yeah. Not bad.”
Reliability is more important than obtaining information.
The captives continued to be interrogated individually and cross-checked with the information obtained.
Zeke divided the information obtained so far into reliable information, inaccurate information, and uncertain information.
“However, there were also suspicious parts.”
“That also means so.”
“Yeah.”
I nodded at Zeke’s words.
As for the details, Zeke will post a separate report, but it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it was decided with this.
Zeke’s eyes flashed.
“Now they seem to be using aristocratic bloodlines as well.”
“Hmm.”
Human experiment.
I know that he experimented on commoners without magical powers, but it was clear that the scope had gradually begun to widen.
Careful multiple cross-validation allowed us to find out for sure.
“As a result of comparing the people who disappeared from the territory, it was found that not only knight-level magic holders, but also noble-level magic holders were missing, even if they were of a lower rank.”
A bitter smile was built up at Zeke’s words.
Just because they are nobles doesn’t cause resentment. However, in this case, if there was a problem, it was a question of whether or not the human experiment on a noble-class magician would produce a reasonable result.
“What do you think?”
“I’ll have to check this with Violet, but wouldn’t it be true that you’re using a rare aristocratic lineage?”
“Hmm.”
I nodded at Zeke’s words.
As for Violet, since time has already passed and the direction of research has changed, it will be difficult to figure out the details…
First of all, I’ll have to contact my father and former Count William separately about this. The thing to be careful of in this war is the red blood, the purple medicine.
“We will organize the details in a report and post them.”
“Yes. Please.”
“Yeah. Then!”
Watching Zeke leave with a bow in his bow, I looked at the Larson manor in the distance.
I have no intention of blaming the noble lineage for using it as a sacrifice, but the history built up in the lineage itself is a waste.
“Paulette Larson. How far are you planning to fall?”
No, it’s already irrelevant to me.
Now is the time to end that life.
* * *
There were those who crossed the plain and reached the mountain where the forest was visible.
A group holding a flag depicting a golden lion and a flag depicting the sky and birds. It was the troops of Franz and Borin.
“It smells like war.”
One of the two men in the lead, William Borin, looked up at the mountain from his horse, smiling, dressed more casually than usual.
“Incense of War?”
Hearing those words, the corner of Avon Franz’s mouth went up. Those who know him are surprisingly rare. Avon Franz laughed.
“This is not a war. It’s just one-sided violence that is suppressed with overwhelming force. More than anything…”
Avon Franz said as his golden eyes reminded him of the Larsen estate across the mountain.
“For a war to be established, it must be of the same rank. Polat Larson has crossed the line.”
He does not consider such a person noble.
So it’s not a war.
This is violence
At Avon Franz’s words, William Borin shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
“Still hard. I’m not even the head of the household anymore, so I’ll just have to live more comfortably.”
“Isn’t your family too broad in terms of living comfortably? If it wasn’t for the war, you would have disappeared right away to roam the continent like the previous Borang families.”
“Heh.”
If the family of Count Franz is said to be a style that dominates the bloodline’s magical power like the Duke of Earthlane, the Count of Boring, on the other hand, is a family that becomes one with magic, like the Duke of Charinaire in the Barheun Kingdom.
As free as the nature of their magic, the moment they thought they had done their duty as a nobleman, they disappeared like the wind.
William Borin was not without such thoughts. But.
“No matter what, it’s clear that my son and daughter are involved in the war, but I can’t pretend I don’t know and leave.”
Although he showed a cold appearance as an aristocrat, he still has feelings for his children as a father.
Rather, it was an act that was all the more possible because he resigned from the position of family head.
“And rather, I don’t know if this kind of war has been waiting for me.”
“Huh. Anyway, the small talk ends here.”
At William Borin’s words, Avon Franz sneered and kicked his horse in the back.
“It is time to cut off the head of the man who abandoned his noble duty.”
“I don’t even need that pig’s neck… Well, that would be nice We need to clear this area before Count Tote comes up.”
William Borin also started to move, spurring his horse to follow after Avon Franz.
And the two knights following the two also moved their bodies.
The Golden Lion Knights and the Cloud Knights. The bodies of the two groups began to glow with golden and blue magical energy.
