I Can See Your Code

I see your code (37)

“If there are any inconveniences, please tell me.”

“There is nothing inconvenient, can I ask you one thing?”

“Tell me.”

I asked the guide who followed me at the entrance.

“How do I look?”

“What do you mean… … .”

“I’m asking if he looks like Layton’s trash, or if he looks like a prankster pretending to be.”

“uh… … ?”

The guide looked confused.

Was it a bit real?

Well, even if you’re like me, you’d probably wonder what the hell he was doing when he was asked that kind of question.

“It’s not a question I was aiming for. I’m just asking because I’m curious, so please feel free to answer.”

“Well… … Very noble, intelligent, as if straight out of a painting… … .”

“I just do it there.”

okay. If I asked the guide, would they give you any more answers than that? Let’s work hard and stick to our purpose.

“How long until the auction starts?”

The guide patted his wrist.

Magic watch.

That’s a huge price, but it’s not something to give to a single employee. Don’t waste your money.

“About 30 minutes left. May I guide you to your seat?”

“no. I’ll go take a look.”

“All right. Enjoy yourself.”

Watching the guide disappear, he sighed in relief.

It doesn’t seem like it’s a trap, so I’ll have to take a look at it comfortably. It was not a very large auction house, but there were plenty of things to see and eat.

It’s all free too.

This is a great opportunity to save money on food.

It’s not that oysters are stingy when it comes to eating, but it’s best to eat anything for free.

I entered the noisy hall.

Each participant was adorned with glittering ornaments and clothes. Rather than looking noble, it feels more like a pawn.

My tongue twitches, but looking at me, there’s not much difference.

That’s enough of a fashionista, cancer.

Then the participants look different. Those who lead the fashion industry. This place used to be a medieval fashion show.

… … When you leave here, change your clothes right away.

I’m a little ignored, I can’t because I’m shy.

I’m just grabbing some food to eat, but I can hear the murmurs around me.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen that boy. Anyone know?”

“It’s not a face that will be easily forgotten, but it’s strange… … Is it the son of Lord Venice, who is said to have been living there?”

“He’s a boy I thought I knew most of the Noblesses, but I’ve never seen.”

X done.

It was so smooth that I only considered the possibility of trapping, and didn’t think of the original camouflage. such blasphemy. I should have been as inconspicuous as possible.

There’s no big problem with taking it.

I’m familiar with Terberots, and in the first place, this isn’t a very secret facility. However, being dragged in front of Teier Terberoz for this kind of thing is unbearable. just die

He quickly hides his face, but before that, people first looked at him.

“Seeing that it exudes nobility from its own body, it must be Terberots-sama’s hidden child.”

“There were rumors that Lord Venice’s son was hiding because he was so ugly… … Now I see the opposite.”

“There were members who I didn’t know yet. I have to work hard.”

… … Are you serious?

I don’t think everyone is crazy. Or the eyes are sprained. Why aren’t they normal?

Respect for Thaere Terberots, who leads these guys, is soaring.

More than that, you should remember the face of the guy who said he was a Terberots child. If we meet on the road at night, the back of the head will be crushed.

How do you rub this look?

Anyway, if that’s the case, there’s no need to worry.

Seriously, who would ever imagine a guy who breaks in and eats food casually?

It wasn’t even an invasion in the first place.

Moment of reassurance. A little boy came up to me.

“Aren’t you, Noblesse?”

I looked at the guy who spoke.

At least in the early teens. It is said that I am much younger than my body now. Did you receive homeschooling as a fantasy, where did you say it?

“Kid, do you know what respect and consideration means?”

“I heard it.”

“I don’t know if that includes respect for the elders.”

“I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“Then learn now.”

As he spoke bluntly, the little boy’s expression frowned.

But the look is something familiar. blonde and red eyes. It’s not a common face… … .

Are you the main character?

There would be no names in Noblesse except for Tayer, Jerry, and Zyre. The moment he was about to check the code, he relaxed and opened his mouth.

“Then you should be respected.”

He sighed, unable to hide his absurd look.

what’s the little boy

There is no need to bring me to the age of the earth, and even by today’s standards, I am a junior high school student and a junior high school student. It is as different as heaven and earth.

When I was in high school, it was polite to get out of the playground, man.

“Don’t be silly, go kid. Can’t you see me eating? Caring includes not bothering anyone with something in their mouth.”

“I’m over 50.”

“… … What?”

“I’m over 50.”

If it were Earth, I would beat him up and pass it by telling him not to play with me, but here it was a sound that could not be wasted.

Wasn’t it really that he was reluctant?

Even by the standards here, it doesn’t seem that common, but it feels familiar.

Sneakingly looking at the code, he muttered out of embarrassment.

“… … Why are you here?”

“Did you ever want to be in a place like this? Rather, I’m not Noblesse, so please listen to me.”

Before I could answer the gatabuta, he continued to speak in an urgent voice.

“Buy me.”

[NPC-1-34-2]

cart foot.

He was a very rare vampire prince among the heterogeneous races.

* * *

There are no slaves in the Velia continent.

No, officially, there are hardly any.

Because the number of formally registered slaves is around 1,000.

When I was talking about the entire continent, it would be safe to say that such a number is virtually nonexistent.

It may seem humane for the Middle Ages, but this is by no means a soft reason such as human rights.

It’s simply because the resin doesn’t fit.

Basically, a slave here means a person with an imprint.

Slave imprint of at least 6 stars.

Of course, a huge amount of money is involved, and it is an excessive investment to engrave on a slave with little skill.

Naturally, slave engraving is only engraved on rare ‘high-value goods’ and not on ‘low-value goods’ that are scattered around. Even if they are forcibly taken away, they are not officially slaves.

It’s funny, but it was.

Although there is no arbitrariness or freedom in the process.

“So, are you some kind of mosquito?”

“Stop racist comments.”

Little… … No, Cartbal frowned and responded. Yes, he’s just cute because he’s a kid. But the thought of a 50-year-old man on that face makes me a little uncomfortable.

While imagining adding wrinkles to that face as it is, Cartwal opened his mouth first.

“Respect and consideration.”

“What.”

“You say it and you don’t keep it.”

“… … .”

There is nothing to say that is correct.

It was a light joke. Let’s apologize first. It’s wrong if the listener feels bad.

He bowed his head slightly and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry for the racist remarks.”

“Not that.”

“Then what else?”

Slowly getting annoyed, I frowned.

Is there anything else I did wrong? I don’t think there is.

“respect.”

“… … .”

“A respect for the elders.”

“… … .”

Now, to say respect to a boy who looks like an elementary school kid? It’s possible, but… … . Because there are many people who respect me regardless of age. But I’m not in a position to listen.

It’s not completely hierarchical.

He quickly turned his head. Several words came to mind.

Eastern Courtesy, Jang Yu-seo… … .

X, that’s no help.

Still, as a result of desperately rolling his head, he came up with a secret plan to overcome the situation.

“Do vampires live to be 300 years old?”

“yes.”

“Humans live to the age of 60.”

“By the way?”

“You’re not even 15 years old when you convert to human age.”

“… … What kind of bullshit is that?”

I don’t know. dog bullshit Dogs are counted that way on Earth.

“I’m not saying I need to be respectful to you.”

“What nonsense… … .”

“If you twist, you will be born as a human. I will treat you like an adult.”

“… … .”

The guy who looked at me with absurd eyes sighed.

“It’s pretty good like that. What matters is whether you can buy me or not.”

“Ask Kim, who has spoken. You’re going up for auction today, aren’t you?”

“right.”

“But why are you here?”

pointed around.

Spacious halls, lavish decorations, set dinners. No matter how you look at it, it is not a place for slaves.

The guy whose eyes moved along with my fingers answered calmly.

“I escaped.”

“Then come out on your own. He’s a security bastard here.”

“Impossible.”

“why?”

Without answering, he rolled up his sleeve slightly and pointed to one of his arms.

A strange-shaped pattern was drawn.

[MG-4-7]

7 star slave imprint.

I looked at it and frowned.

I usually end up with a 6 star rating, but I’m well prepared. If it’s a 7 star, ‘Twilight of the Wizard’ doesn’t work either.

There’s nothing left anyway.

Cartval lowered his sleeves and continued.

“I have been ordered not to leave this building.”

“… … How did you know I wasn’t Noblesse?”

“The smell of blood is different.”

Cartwal licked his lips and pointed to the hall.

There were people dancing and enjoying the banquet there.

“They smell like strong pigs. The smell of rotten humans, wet with greed.”

“Pigs and humans are different.”

“It smells like blood. There is only a slight difference, but they all smell like pigs.”

Racial discrimination is being spoken.

Being a vampire is not without greed. It’s just that the kind you want is different.

I was thinking of rebutting it, but he pointed at me.

“You are different. It’s the first smell I’ve ever smelled.”

“Can you smell seafood?”

He pointed to the fish he was eating and said.

Whatever the chef had done, he could hardly smell even the body of a ‘superman’. However, it does not completely remove it, so there is a slight fishy smell.

I asked this as a half-joking question, but Cartbal was honest and shook his head.

“It’s hard to describe. But I’ve heard of someone who smelled similar to his father.”

“who?”

“The one who closed the door.”

At that moment, my body stiffened.

It’s a name I never thought of. Yep, that’s what these races call him.

Cartval spoke slowly.

“I heard you call him ‘The Liberation King’.”

“… … I am not royalty.”

I’m at home.

“Just because it smells like blood doesn’t mean you’re a descendant. It’s closer to ‘fate’ than that.”

“fate?”

“Achieving similar achievements, or more… … .”

“Why is a person who knows fate so well being held captive here?”

Cartbal, who had stopped talking, frowned.

No, everything is fine, but no matter how urgent you are, your father is too harsh. I only plan to show up here as soon as there is a way, but I am not interested in achievements.

“… … It must also be fate.”

“Oh, yes.”

Basically, I don’t really like the word fate.

It was like that before, but here it is added.

It’s my damn fate that I’m here.

So the outgoing words are blunt.

“Then suffer. I wish you luck in meeting a good master.”

“Come on, wait! You didn’t want to buy me?”

“Did you not think of that?”

Cartval’s expression became urgent.

“Isn’t this little child pitiful?”

“I say it with my mouth. Being over 50.”

“Human nylon is less than 15 years old!”

“Where is that? If you lived 50 years, you would be 50 years old.”

As I walked behind the cart, who was looking at me with a puzzled expression, the guy grabbed my shoulder. I looked back without hiding my annoyance.

“Why can’t you conform to fate and be miserable?”

“what do you want?”

“You conform to fate.”

“… … Don’t do that.”

Cartwal said half-broken.

Whatever the content, it’s a pity that it looks like a little kid. Finally, he sighed and opened his mouth.

“I’m not doing this because I don’t want to buy you.”

“then?”

“I do not have money.”

A ‘high value product’ is not a ‘high value product’ for nothing.

It’s that expensive, so I put the engraving on it. Besides, it’s a 7 star, not a 6 star. You’ll need thousands of gold to buy it at auction.

It would be possible if you invest all your fortune, but the problem is that you have a different reason for coming here.

A high-grade fire attribute stone.

It will definitely come out if you set it up.

An item that will kindle a high-purity flame to my magic. After I buy it, I’ll be short on money.

“Goodbye for that reason.”

“wait!”

“Why again?”

I think I explained it well enough.

Perhaps he had glimpsed the annoyance on my face, Cartwal opened his mouth with an earnest voice.

“If you release me, I’ll give you a blood stone.”
