chapter 14
I see your code (14)
“What else is this?”
When I came out, I saw two corpses.
It’s a no-brainer, really.
Reynold, who followed, frowned at the corpse.
“You look like adventurers in their clothes. Are these guys who robbed the treasury?”
“Oh, I see, there was that one too.”
One of the reasons I came to the treasury was because of a map stolen by an adventurer. There’s so much to think about, I forgot. But why are you guys chasing each other?
I looked at the code floating on the corpse.
[NPC-1-AV-B]
[NPC-1-AV-C]
Adventurer Grade B. Although it is one step inferior to the mercenaries by force, it is not at a level that can be viewed lightly with its own force alone when it is level B.
Such a powerful person died so quickly that even us who were inside did not notice it at all. That means there is a huge difference.
The only thing around is Dum-dum, that stupid statue. If they didn’t commit suicide, the culprit would be dumb. This statue was made by a 7-star wizard. You can’t win even if you get A grade, let alone B grade.
Reynold looked at the corpse and frowned.
“Did you fail the test three times? Excessive greed If you are an adventurer, you would know best that greed is not allowed.”
Then he bites his tongue like he’s sad.
In a way, these guys came to steal their stuff. Being able to sympathize with someone like that is a skill. It’s a flaw to trust people well, but with that kind of personality, he doesn’t hesitate when making decisions.
To be honest, looking at her personality, I think this one is more suited to the role of the main character. Crazy dog, that bastard is so old.
“Then you can’t even find the items in the stolen treasure trove, can you?”
“Well… … Can you see?”
Reynold rummaged through the body and found some papers.
“It’s a Noblesse confirmation. It’s about sending goods to Argon and Gelian. The date is yesterday, so the stuff will still be in Layton.”
“Noblesse… … .”
Merchants who pretend to be nobles. Hearing that word reminded me of a guy I had forgotten for nothing.
“The problem is there is no confirmation seal. It’s like an adventurer. Even if you die, you can’t see your property being taken away. He would have hidden it somewhere only he knew.”
“Isn’t that, the people who dig the graves of the dead are too conscientious?”
“What adventurers do.”
Why doesn’t Layton have a well-recognized job? I need to float quickly before it gets dyed, but it’s a damn city.
“Then there is no way?”
“There are cases in which items are returned only with a confirmation certificate… … In this case, I’m not going to do it. If the amount is small, I will return it, but if the amount is large, I will give an excuse not to have a seal.”
“They are trustless bastards.”
“First of all, in principle, it is true that a seal is required, so it is difficult to argue with anything.”
Is this what it means to open your eyes and cut your nose?
Actually, it’s me, Yeongcho isn’t urgent right now, but it’s sad news for Darin, who wanted a laboratory. What can I do, everything in the world is like that.
At that moment, Reynol’s muttering pierced her ears.
“I don’t know if there are any connections on the Noblesse side, but I don’t know anyone there.”
“… … .”
Although he was reluctant, there was a face that came to mind when he heard the word networking. He sighed for a moment and opened his mouth.
“On the Noblesse side, there is one person I know. I don’t know if it will, but I’ll ask.”
“Acquaintance?”
Rinol made a puzzled expression.
He decided to trust me and move on, but it is a specification to have doubts.
What can be said should be said.
“He’s the person I met when I went to the horsepower test before. It’s just a face-to-face relationship, so don’t lean on it too much.”
“I don’t think I’ll be returning the item at that price, but… … It’s nice to have a chance.”
Raynor opened his mouth as he picked up the items he had taken from the treasure trove.
“More than that, Rihanna, are you really okay with that glove?”
“yes. It’s what I needed the most.”
I rubbed the gloves on my hands.
A glove that can control the weight of the object it touches.
The higher the skill level, the harder it is to affect the physical force of the weight, but at the current level, it will be of great help.
I like to lift weights while exercising.
“I’m not going to hear it again anyway… … Do you really need magic tricks?”
“It’s not that you don’t need it, it’s that you learn it later. Before I learn, I’ll make a body. It’s hard to build a body if you have magical powers.”
“What else are you going to do there… … .”
Reynold sighed and stood up.
“Well, let me know if you change your mind later. In fact, your share is also substantial.”
“yes.”
“and… … .”
Reynol looked at the two corpses sadly.
“Let’s build a grave near there. They wouldn’t have thought they would die in a place like this.”
* * *
“A treasure trove! Did you rob it?”
“Let’s refrain from saying things like that. It looks like you stole.”
Reynold sighed.
Why does it seem that only sighs are increasing these days, am I mistaken?
Still, his conscience was pierced by the guilt of stealing. Actually, it wasn’t much of a difference either.
‘Because I was originally rejected… … .’
I didn’t give a tee, but when I was rejected for the first time, I was quite shocked. It seems like the ties with the family have been completely cut off. I didn’t think there was any regret, but I guess there was a little left.
When the family tried to make Darin a witch, banish him, and let him die. He had already lost his mind from the family. thought there was
‘Cowardly bastard.’
Reynold laughed bitterly.
In the end, he was just afraid. To confirm that the relationship has been broken. In fact, that was the main reason I hesitated for the second examination for a long time.
It’s like reaffirming a broken relationship.
“Once the hidden side has been resolved. I also found the treasure trove of adventurers.”
“Wow! laboratory!”
Darin ran all over the place. Reynold looked at him pathetic and continued.
“I’ll have to wait a bit for the lab.”
“What? why!”
Seeing Darin urging Reinol, she sighed again.
Do I have to say that I feel sorry for wanting a laboratory like this, or that I feel bad for flirting?
It seems closer to the latter.
“Things on the hidden side are just hard to turn into money. The stolen items are entrusted to Noblesse.”
“nobless? confirmation? Seal?”
“I have a certificate, but I don’t have a seal. Ryan said he had a connection there, so he went looking for it.”
“Hey, relationships? What kind of sign is it?”
“It was just that we saw each other face to face.”
“Ouch! Damn it!”
Darin suddenly became depressed.
“I’ve seen your face once, but you’re giving me back so many things? Do they gulp if you just keep quiet? it’s over… … . I’ll never have a lab in my lifetime. Roll as a mercenary and die in a place no one knows about.”
Reynol looked at Darin with a puzzled expression.
“Don’t worry, I’ll start setting up the lab when I get the money later. I didn’t know you wanted so much.”
“How do you raise money? I feel sorry for that kid, and the circumstances of that person are pitiful, so there is someone right next to me who spends money for all sorts of reasons.”
“… … .”
Reinol, who had nothing to say, paused for a moment.
What if you keep seeing it once you step on it? And I don’t remember touching Darin’s money.
“You helped a lot too.”
“It seems like I’m the only bad bitch if I don’t do anything while doing good things next to me. Did you think that your money alone would be enough?”
“… … .”
I didn’t know at all. Because Darin was managing all the money calculations.
“By the way, where did the little boy named Rihanna go?”
It was obvious that he was trying to turn the horse around, but Darin just sighed and moved on. Actually, I am also in a position to survive thanks to Reynol’s ‘good deeds’.
“I was about to leave, so I locked him in my room for now. I thought it was going to cause a lot of trouble if I walked around with that face.”
Ordinary people dream of being handsome and pretty, but Layton was different. In this place, the powerless appearance becomes poison and only more and more people are aiming for it.
After washing Tanya, Darin was surprised in two ways.
The first is that a child who was so dirty that it was difficult to tell the gender was so pretty that even Darin, who had confidence in his appearance, opened his mouth.
‘I resemble the princess.’
The Imperial Princess whom she saw briefly when she was young.
It’s funny to compare it to the princess who was only three or four years old back then, but it’s really similar.
‘I can’t.’
There was no way the three kingdoms could have kept the bloodline of the empire alive. By any chance, even if she escaped, why would the Imperial Princess live like that? On a plate that is not enough even if it is hidden and served as if it were a Shinjukdan.
“I was going to hand it over when Rihann came back… … When are you coming?”
“Well, I don’t know. I have more to say than that.”
“What else? awfully… … .”
Darin trembled.
I didn’t even say that the treasure trove was stolen with that kind of expression.
“I was disqualified from entering the treasury.”
At those words, Darin looked at Reynol for a moment.
She really had no regrets left behind in the family, but deep down she knew that she wasn’t a Reynol.
“What is that? I was expecting it before I went. Rihanna said there was a way.”
“What do you think of that method?”
“Well, I must have smashed the entrance and went in.”
“… … .”
It’s too simple and ignorant for a wizard’s answer, but Reynold thought the same, so I passed it on.
“I didn’t tell you, but the entrance is guarded by a statue made by a 7-star wizard.”
“7 star?”
Darin shouted in surprise.
Seven-star is just as different from her, who is now only four, by the sky and the earth. In the wizarding world, being a 7-star is virtually the same as a king.
“Actually, I went for confirmation rather than Rihanna’s method. You may still be eligible.”
“Hey, how did you get through it? Even my brother wouldn’t be able to win that much… … Maybe Rihanna?”
It means that you won the battle with the statue.
Rinol shook his head.
“If that was the case, I wouldn’t have been surprised.”
“… … How could anything be more surprising than that?”
A teenage boy who won the battle with a statue made by a 7-star wizard. It’s a sound I’ve never heard in my life.
What could be more surprising than that?
“The statue was tampered with.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, you gave me access to the treasure trove.”
Darin opened his mouth.
“Now, are you saying you manipulated the creation of a 7-star wizard? Did I hear you right?”
“right.”
“You misunderstood.”
Darin said with a determined expression.
“I misunderstood because my brother didn’t know much about magic. That is impossible.”
“At first, the statue, which was said to be ineligible, was measured again as Rihan said, so I changed my mind.”
“that… … At first, I must have measured Rihann who was next to me wrong. The second one was from my brother.”
“Both times, they definitely measured me.”
“… … .”
Darin kept his mouth shut because Reynol’s expression was so firm. But she couldn’t believe that the 7-star magic could have been broken.
‘It must be an illusion.’
With that in mind, Darin opened her mouth.
“Lian? Did you ask Rihanna?”
“I asked. I admit it.”
“… … Did you admit it?”
“Because I asked with some certainty in the first place.”
Reynold continued to speak.
“I also asked him about his identity. I hesitated a bit, but he answered.”
“Identity?”
“I can’t say for sure, but it says it has to do with the ‘production’ of this world.”
“… … What’s that big thing again? You mean even the ‘Kitan’ you gave me?”
Darin was absurd at the absurd sound. Reinol opened her mouth, not paying attention.
“It may have something to do with Kitan, if not Khitan.”
“… … Do you think you are an apostle of Kitan?”
When Reynol nodded, Darin was astonished.
God’s messenger.
Those who use power that is not understood by common sense in the name of power.
If the Pope represents the word of God and the Saint represents the role of God, the apostle represents the will of God.
God’s mouth, God’s body, God’s sword.
Ordinary temples roll under the leadership of the Pope, the Saints and the Apostles. the problem is… … .
“Kitan never chose a saint or an apostle.”
In its 500-year history, Khitan was famous for being the only god among the gods not to have a saint and an apostle. Therefore, only the temple of the god Khitan was led by the Pope alone.
Reynold knows that.
“But I can’t explain it if it’s not the Apostle of Kitan who gave it to me. Unbelievable physical abilities, the ability to modify seven-star magic, and even to say that it had to do with the creation of this world.”
After taking a deep breath, Reynol continued.
“We may be seeing the first Apostle of Kitan in 500 years of history.”
