chapter 14
A few days passed.
As a result of interrogating a few of the lower castein guild thugs caught at the fruit shop, the top line was found out.
Then I secretly caught him and dug up the top line again.
After repeating that way three or four times, I finally found out the location of the mansion used as the branch office.
– Deal with them immediately!
command fell
A group of 20 members of the royal guards moved to sweep it.
Drexla was in charge of this operation.
It was to enhance his achievement by entrusting him with the first information to the finish.
The night of the previous year when the moonlight was weak.
The Royal Guard surrounded the Casein Guild branch and finished preparing to rush in.
In front of the entrance, Drexla stood.
Around him are 19 royal guards led by him.
And then there was Leo.
“Lowering… . You have to be really careful. Don’t move recklessly, just follow me.”
“yes. Okay.”
To Drexla, who spoke with a worried face, Leo smiled and nodded.
However, Drexla had a miserable face.
‘after… . Even the sky doesn’t care Why did His Highness allow Prince Leo to accompany me… .’
Drexla pretended to grant Prince Leo’s request.
I couldn’t help it.
Didn’t Leo hold his weakness?
Instead, there was a corner to believe.
-All right. Instead, if His Majesty the King permits it, I will also fulfill your request.
Of course, the royal family must have permission from the king to follow such a mission.
And Drexla believed deep down.
There is no way that the king would send his young son to attack the Catsin branch, which could be dangerous and nowhere else.
Even Leo is rumored to be a genius.
There was no way to send a promising player with a promising future to such a place.
But… .
– Take me. I believe in Lord Drexla.
-Yes? But Your Highness… .
-hahahaha. Did the child say he wanted to follow? That’s great. Leo’s talent is better than anyone else’s. All that’s left is to make it bloom gorgeously, but he seems to do it instinctively.
– It can be dangerous.
-Kyung will protect you.
– Not only trauma, but also something like mental trauma.
-Didn’t I tell you earlier? I believe in the Lord And a kid like Leo wouldn’t have said it without thinking about it.
-that’s… .
– You asked first? hahahaha. If you’re a member of the Roman family, you should know how to take responsibility for your words. cancer!
-… … .
At the same time, the king talked about Leo like an eight-year-old boy for nearly an hour.
Maybe it’s because he’s my son, and he’s different from the cotyledon.
If this happens, a descendant will be born that surpasses the founder of Karst, and so on.
‘Whoa… .’
Remembering that time, Drexla sighed.
The past that has already passed cannot be helped. Whatever happened like this, this mission must be completely successful unconditionally.
‘And after all, it’s not a bad situation at all.’
In addition to the previous Prince Leo runaway incident, up to this mission. I got involved with Prince Leo personally twice.
He is a Leo prince with a promising future.
Building a relationship with him in this way would be fine if it helped later, it wouldn’t be bad.
In the end, Drexla had no choice but to warn Leo once again.
“Lowering. You really have to follow me. never… ”
“yes! I will never look away and follow Drexla!”
“… All right.”
Drexla nodded.
I was still anxious, but that was enough.
And I’m not bragging, but Drexla is a pretty high-ranking person in the Royal Guard.
I was confident enough to protect Leo.
He took his eyes off Leo and looked ahead.
A mansion immersed in darkness.
And the knights of the Praetorian Guard ready to move at any moment.
“Go in.”
Instructions fell from Drexla’s mouth.
At the same time, 20 knights moved like lightning.
-bang!
The leading knight kicked the mansion gate and broke it to pieces, then rushed inside.
Amidst the tumultuous silence of the night, Leo’s eyes shone.
‘where. Let’s take a look at the skills of the knights.’
The moment has come to see the skills of the knights who have only seen them in the game.
* * *
Arrows greeted the guards who had intruded into the branch.
-Shhh!
– Wedges!
The knights blocked it with round shields.
– Ting!
-Chaeeng!
It was a surprise blow, but no one was hurt.
Sometimes it came from a blind spot that couldn’t be blocked by a shield, but it bounced off the armor.
“An arrow. Crude. Did you intend to stop us with something like that?”
Drexla murmured after entering.
A knight learns all kinds of weapon skills from an early age.
Shield and armor martial arts are also types of such weapons.
A knight had to be able to handle not only his sword but also all of his weapons and armor as if he were his own body.
‘I heard the sound of arrows flying and put mana on my shield and armor. The reaction speed is no joke.’
Leo, who poked his head out from behind and watched, admired it.
He can see mana with his eyes.
Because of this, the status of the knights could be seen in detail.
The arrow flew at a speed almost invisible to Leo.
However, the knights reacted correctly and injected mana.
That too, by concentrating on the very small area where the arrow hits.
‘It means that he perfectly read the movement of the arrow and reacted in an instant… How much training did you have to do that?’
Is that the skill of a royal guardsman?
It’s amazing.
– Tata-tak.
-bang! Clumsy!
The guards searched the inside of the mansion without a word.
Due to the sudden unfolding of the commotion, several visits were opened.
“What, what! What are you talking about?”
“… intruder!?”
“You crazy bastards! Where is this place!”
The attack time was midnight.
Branch members who woke up hurriedly jumped out holding their weapons.
“Search!”
“How dare you attack the Catsane guild members! I’ll bury you like this in the back alley!”
The guild members pulled out short daggers and rushed at the knights.
Of course it didn’t work.
The knights lightly blocked or dodged their attacks, then slashed them with a single sword.
-Chack!
“Keah!”
“Cuck!”
A bloody storm broke out.
The guys finally came to their senses.
“Uh, uh… ?”
“crazy… . These guys are not normal guys!”
In contrast to the knights fully armed with shields and armor, the guild members had just woken up.
Skills and equipment were pushed too far.
“Ah!”
“Keep it off!”
In the mansion, only the screams of the Catsane guild members could be heard.
* * *
in the dark mountains.
Two women were trudging down the street.
“Chief. Are you okay?”
“yes? what?”
“The capital branch that was abandoned this time. You put a lot of effort into making it, but it’s not a waste… .”
“Ahh. it?”
The red-haired beauty smiled broadly and shook her head.
“It’s fine. Everything useful was stolen anyway.”
“But there are quite a few guild members left. I didn’t even inform them that I was going to surprise them in the royal palace.”
She was the head of the Rome Kingdom capital branch of the Casein Guild.
And the fact of the attack of the royal family, I heard the information in advance and noticed it.
However, she left quite a number of guild members in place.
“No matter how much the branch manager is, there is a promotion review soon, and the fact that there was such damage will be a big stain later.”
“a. no. There are only small worms there.”
“A small spoonful?”
“uh. I spread some rumors This time, the Catsane Guild is going to select a lot of guild members. The kids in the branch right now are just a bunch of goofballs.”
“then… ?”
“To put it simply, the royal palace bastards walked in vain this late at night.”
I giggled and she let out a laugh.
“Ahahahaha. isn’t it funny How angry would you be if you found out that you worked hard and nothing was useful?”
“… … .”
The adjutant couldn’t help but laugh.
No matter how they say they are backstreet junkies, to push so many people to their limbs and laugh like that is so much fun.
‘As expected, this person… .’
red witch.
He is one of the branch managers of the Casein Guild, which is notorious on the continent.
And it’s not just the head of the branch.
She was the number one woman among the branch leaders, who was certain to rise to the level of an executive in charge of the entire Cassane Guild.
“Why are you looking so hard again? Ah, is it because we feel like our Casein Guild is being robbed too much?”
The red witch tapped the shoulder of her subordinate.
“Don’t worry too much. I just put a few minnows in it, and if it’s a branch, the royal palace might come after me to die, so I’ve also packed some suitable gifts.”
“What if it’s a gift?”
“Just what. How many land documents and business offices did our branch have? I kept enough of it to be satisfied even if I ate at the royal family. It’s not usually a problem getting them sorted out, so they won’t be chasing us anymore.”
“okay.”
The subordinate nodded.
Fortunately, there will be no traces of the royal family in the future.
The red witch giggled and continued.
“ah. Come to think of it, I put a surprise bomb along with it.”
“Yes? A bomb?”
“ok. Bread to touch! and exploding bombs. Even at the level of the Royal Guard, at least one or two limbs have the power to fly.”
The subordinate’s face hardened.
“Hey, Red Witch! Touching the royal family… !”
“You know. It’s just not my taste to be beaten quietly. It’s okay for them to come in on us, but not for us to scratch? Isn’t that taking lives? That’s not it.”
The red witch’s eyes glowed with life.
“Kick. At this point, the royal family should also be warned. If you mess with our Catsane Guild, you guys will get sick too.”
* * *
The knights went out to subdue the inside of the mansion in an instant.
‘Yeah. I really like this.’
Leo smiled and followed behind them.
He moved behind the knights, sneaking around when there was a small sprig left alone.
“What, what is it? What kind of place is the kid… ?”
“Uh huh. You have no manners. You are a child to someone you see for the first time.”
He reached out to the guild members who were embarrassed to see him.
Mana particles spread, and cold air was created on the palm.
– Damn it
The air got colder and everything around them froze.
The guild members groaned involuntarily at the sudden cold temperature.
“Ugh… .”
Arcane Magic Frost Breath.
Mana particles were manipulated based on the operation method contained therein.
‘Each person has a difference in cold resistance. Everyone’s mana is fine. Is this the tolerance that humans themselves have?’
Use magic directly on people and observe their reactions.
It was like doing it to a lab animal, but without the guilt.
These are none other than the members of the guild, Casein, who are heinous criminals.
Didn’t Leo himself almost die a while ago?
Therefore, he boldly used his hand against them without any hesitation.
“Big uh… .”
One of the guild members in front of Leo collapsed trembling.
The skin had already turned pale.
As body tissues die, the entire body gradually freezes to death.
Leo looked down at him with a calm expression.
Inside, I was shocked.
‘I’m not too careless. Is this part of the personality of the possessed character, or was my original personality like this?’
I don’t know.
In real life, Jung Hyeon-seong has lived an ordinary life.
He rarely fought with others, much less saw blood.
So it was quite surprising that he could be this cool.
Soon, however, Leo shook his head and let the useless thoughts go.
‘… You can worry about this later.’
Now is the time to focus here.
Opportunities like this don’t come easily, so you have to pick the mulberry.
‘I checked the cold resistance to some extent, so now I need to look at the mana resistance.’
The task of comparing and analyzing each person’s unique nature and Leo’s own mana.
Since it doesn’t matter if the subject dies, there are many experiments that can be done.
So, before all the criminals here are killed by the knights, I have to try a little more.
Leo moved, aiming for the next prey.
