Chapter 158

Episode 158

Puhahahaha!

A man’s laughter filled the room.

He reacted as if he had heard the funniest thing he had ever heard.

He laughed and laughed for a long time, until he was out of breath and in pain.

In the meantime, I didn’t stop smiling.

He continued to laugh and laugh like crazy, as if he thought not smiling was an insult.

‘It’s just funny. Especially from his perspective.’

I could understand the laughter in his reaction.

If I were in his position, I would have rolled over and laughed like that.

“How on earth were they able to get management positions? Is there anything you can do? “There is no other parachute like this.”

“That comment is an insult to other paratroopers. At least they think, but these guys don’t think at all.”

“Oh, that’s it again. “Those who don’t think at all are exactly right.”

William finally stopped laughing and wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.

He adjusted his disheveled clothes and straightened his posture.

“Ha, I laughed properly. The more I think about it, the funnier it gets. “I can’t believe that these so-called bastards only think like that.”

I agree.

I wonder if I just watched in a daze as these guys ignored me in front of me.

Their actions were so stupid and surprising that I couldn’t even speak properly.

I also wondered how he could become an inspector with that level of thinking.

“First of all, I’ve done some research on them. “It turned out that these guys were working under the second prince.”

“Under the second prince?”

“yes. I received a lot from under him. There are a lot of things I cooked and ate. “The royal family was looking after me reassuringly, but I couldn’t see anything.”

William rubbed his thumb and index finger together.

2nd Prince 2nd Prince… I didn’t pay much attention to him after hearing that he would be imprisoned and see torture every day.

No, I was completely erasing it from my memory.

But here comes the second prince.

“Well, since he was in secret with the empire, that would be natural.”

It wasn’t that surprising.

Since it had already been revealed that the second prince had conspired with the empire, it was difficult to believe that the people under him were not like that.

It was natural.

It is not for nothing that there is a saying that the water below must be clear only when the water above is clear.

Even outside of the empire, there were countless instances of them eating at the royal family.

That alone was all I needed to know what kind of guys they were.

They’re idiots who are too busy just filling their bellies and can’t even think properly.

There is no way these guys who would give anything to their liver and gallbladder for money would not have put their hands on the treasure complex called the empire.

Rather, he would have encouraged the second prince to become closer to the empire.

Simply put, it was about playing with one another.

“yes. But this time, wasn’t it ruined when the second prince’s inner secrets were revealed? There’s no way the guys down there are just watching that.”

“I guess so. Because even a dog won’t stay still if its food bowl is taken away. “Bark or bite.”

The situation was roughly understood.

“I found out that the Crown Prince was originally trying to prevent them from coming out to inspect. No, even if we couldn’t stop the inspection, we didn’t want to send them to the inspection.”

I know that because I heard it from him himself.

It is said that the crown prince asked the prince to take care of him, so he could not stop the inspection.

And even apologized in advance.

I didn’t think much of it at the time.

“Well, it’s obvious. “They must have insisted on going somehow.”

“Other royals who were jealous of the crown prince gave them support. This was because the nobleman, who already had a strong position, was about to obtain a huge shield and sharp sword called Millennium. “He must have been afraid of that and tried to somehow cause a conflict with the crown prince over this matter.”

“If they had known that they had no idea what the world was like, they wouldn’t have done that.”

Now that I think about it, those so-called royals were stupid too.

What on earth did they believe in and push me to do?

If I was that stupid, I wouldn’t have been any different in normal times.

“Still, the royal family says I did my job well.”

“They said they did well?”

“yes. “There, you just have to do what you’re told.”

“Ah, I see.”

Well, as long as they do what they are told, they don’t have to use their brains, so no one will know that they are stupid except those who are close to them.

The royals only saw their visible side and helped them.

“Anyway, they touched me. “I have no intention of staying still.”

“All right. “I will prepare.”

“okay. thanks for your effort.”

From now on, William will investigate the corruption they have been doing.

And we will investigate their surroundings and find other hidden agents besides them.

‘I picked the wrong opponent.’

Even if I chose wrong, I chose wrong for a long time.

I know you’re angry because you lost your owner, but you should have seen someone and come forward.

Or even if you get caught.

“Where have you been?”

“It’s so award-winning! “Tell me in detail where you went!”

I looked coldly at the guys yelling at me.

No matter how many times I looked at it, it was absolutely pathetic.

I can’t believe I have to waste my energy on these guys.

‘No. ‘Because you’re catching pests.’

It’s annoying and annoying now, but if you just endure it now, you can catch them and even the people hiding behind them.

It’s frustrating when I think about it, but I can bear it.

It won’t take that long.

***

The atmosphere of the recent millennium has been very chaotic.

The actions of the guys who came to inspect me went way beyond the limit.

People were exhausted.

And I was angry. I was frustrated at having to just watch these guys insulting my master.

“Why on earth are you holding back, Count?”

“Is it just the Count? The master is also patient. Ha… I just have to deal with it.”

Their complaints were heard.

The knights who faced the inspectors almost drew their swords without realizing it.

If the Count or I had told them they could do whatever they wanted, the inspectors would have fallen dozens of times, even if their heads fell off.

“I guess you all have your own thoughts. Don’t you know, master? “This is not someone who will just ignore an insult like this.”

“…know. No, it’s frustrating. “Because there are people who won’t stay still.”

“Hold on. Why should we take action while the two of you are staying quiet? Arthur, Arthur.”

Then the reason the knights or other vassals did not step forward was because they trusted me and the count.

I know the Count’s strength and my personality.

They knew very well that I was not the type of person to sit still even after something like this happened.

I was the one who beat up the prince of the empire in the name of sparring.

There was no way they wouldn’t know that when they saw me right next to me.

-So, are you contacting me to complain that you are frustrated with the inspectors?

While they were venting their frustration, I was in contact with Count Warrug through the communication port.

“The Count contacted me first, but…”

-Oh, was that so? I forgot about this because I was empathizing with it without realizing it. What happens to people is so good. It feels very real.

“Thank you for the compliment. So what’s going on? Please let me know the next steps and it’s only been two days.”

-Know. There’s no way you wouldn’t know that I ordered it. That’s not why I contacted you. I wonder if you can handle it well.

‘It’s strange that you didn’t tell me what I asked you to come to me.’ I shrugged my shoulders at his small muttering.

-Nothing else, do you remember what I told you last time?

“Last time? Um… Oh, that’s right. “You said you had somewhere to go with me.”

It occurred to me.

The day I went to learn the next move from him, there was a place he asked me to go to.

The inspectors came and made such a mess that I forgot about it for a while.

-I’m glad I remember. Are you free tomorrow?

“You mean tomorrow?”

I closed my mouth for a moment and tapped the back of my hand with my fingertips.

There wasn’t really anything that could be called a schedule.

Just training and dealing with the inspectors. And I just went to William and heard the information I got.

Other than that, I didn’t have anything else planned.

“yes. It’s possible.”

-Thank goodness. If I had said I didn’t have time, I would have been in trouble. Because I can’t kidnap you.

“….”

You say such scary things so casually.

But I was even more afraid because I thought it would really be like that.

Because he resembles the mercenary king in another sense.

‘Now that I think about it, I can’t see the mercenary king these days.’

Originally, he should have returned when Baan returned to the imperial family.

No, he said he would return before that, so if you think about it, he was too late.

“I want to experiment with who I am now.”

It was good to lay the foundation.

In fact, I felt that my body’s balance was improving day by day.

But I couldn’t tell how much stronger I had become.

There was no one in the count’s family who could be my opponent.

The knights were few in number and precious, so they couldn’t be defeated carelessly, but they were not good for dealing with wizards.

‘It’s not up to the level.’

Unless you were a wizard of 6th circle or higher, I wasn’t confident that you would lose.

So on the other hand, I was waiting for the mercenary king to return.

He was like a very good combat punching bag that could gauge my strength.

It was a time when I was wondering if there was a way.

-Save some time for tomorrow. Because you have a place to go with me.

“Where do you mean?”

-I will go south.

At those words, I frowned without realizing it.

I knew very well what the South was like.

There was no way I didn’t know.

Because it was a place where battles took place 365 days a year, all year round.

‘Ahar even participates as a mercenary to gain talent.’

The battlefield was like a buffet for Ahar, different from the north.

If the North is a cheap buffet, the South is like a luxurious restaurant.

It was a place where humans fought, not monsters and humans.

It was said that Count Warrug would take me to a place where hundreds of casualties occurred every day.

“Is this the South I know?”

-right. ‘The’ South. The battlefield of barbarians. I’m going there.

“…As far as I know, I heard it’s difficult to participate there.”

Even though it was a battlefield, people were not accepted at any time.

When receiving treasure once every three months, mercenaries are also hired.

Even if he was a king, he couldn’t go there without permission.

In the first place, the journey there was very rough and full of thieves and bandits.

It was a place full of people who didn’t care even if they were royals.

‘The problem is the barbarians.’

When receiving supplies, the South becomes more alert.

The barbarians also knew when supplies would arrive, so they often attacked.

The power of the barbarians is strong. So much so that even knights who use auras find it difficult.

Therefore, nobles and royals rarely went to the south unless they were demoted or exiled.

It was harder not to be surprised that they would take me to a place like that.

-right. And tomorrow is the day to deliver supplies.

“Ah…”

I understood everything in that one word.

Who would stop me from going to deliver supplies?

-Originally, someone else was going, but I especially thought of you, so I brought it. Aren’t you happy? It’s an opportunity to fight to your heart’s content.

“Say that…”

?

When I thought about it, it wasn’t something worth getting so angry about.

Rather, it was something to be thankful for.

There was no better place to understand one’s power than the battlefield.

It was a great opportunity as I needed to understand my strength before dealing with Ahar.

‘If you do it well…’

I also thought that if I used this well, I could properly select inspectors.

“Okay, I’ll get ready.”

The worry was short-lived.
