Chapter 1740 – 222. Take Off the Mask.
Inside the VIP reception room
Five adventurers, each with different personalities, settle into their seats.
A new group of emerging adventurers
They were adventurers with silver wings.
Haha, you’ve achieved success, but I never thought you’d be invited to the imperial court by country bastards.”
Gainal, an ax warrior boasting massive muscles, bursts into a pleasant laugh.
The fact that I was invited to the imperial family felt truly satisfying.
“가이날, 년놈이 뭐야, 년놈이! 황실에서 만큼은 제발 품위를 지켜, 이 머저리새끼야”
Then, Jenny, a thief with a vicious look next to her, frowned and opened her mouth.
“It’s hard for a thief to pretend to be noble.”
“What? Did you just tell me?”
“I couldn’t do it, you bitch.”
“I won’t leave you alone!”
“What will I do if I don’t leave it alone?”
The two people glare at each other and each take out an ax and a dagger.
“Come on, let’s leave the love fight at an end.”
At that time, Jade, a prosecutor who was quietly watching the situation, bursts in and dissuades the two.
With a very familiar expression
“”Where is the love fight!””
The two people look at Jade and scream at the same time.
Where on earth is this a love fight?
“They say love and hate are just a piece of paper apart, right? If they fight often, it’s proof that their interest in each other is high, right? Roman.”
“Ah, I think I heard that too, you said so?”
Triangle wizard Cordelia smiles brightly and agrees to Jade’s question.
I decided to make fun of the two people.
“You want to fight?”
“Come on, I’ll give you both harpoons.”
“Look, you’re breathing just fine, right?”
Haha, that’s right, that’s right!”
“”That’s right, what’s right!!”
Soon, a commotion begins to break out in the hall.
How long has it been like that?
Knock knock knock
Someone knocks on the reception room door.
As a result, the noisy atmosphere subsides in an instant.
“Yes, please come in.”
And in a calm atmosphere, Jade opens her mouth.
Wow!
At that moment the door opens
The young attendant who guided them to the reception room appears.
“You need to move, His Majesty wants to see you all in person.”
“Your Majesty, are you talking about us directly!?”
At those words, the silver-winged adventurers were astonished with their eyes wide open.
If the Emperor of the Kaynal Empire
Wasn’t it none other than Lee Jae-hyung, the great warrior who saved the world by killing the Demon King?
So he wants to see them in person?
She couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because I thought at most she would just give me a commendation and end it
“Your Majesty greatly cherishes promising talents who will brighten the future of the empire.”
“The one who will brighten the empire..”
“Promising talent..”
Everyone’s mood is naturally excited.
This was no different than a fortunate opportunity to be recognized by a great hero.
“Wait… “Can I change my clothes?”
“I would like to have more variety when meeting Your Majesty!”
“Please give me some time!”
Soon, the party members make urgent requests.
Because I think to myself
This was because I thought the outfit was too shabby to face Peha.
“Yes, I understand. Then, please do it as quickly as possible.”
Soon the servant slowly retreats outside.
“It was good!!”
“Yahooooo!”
At the same time, Guynal and Jenny, who were anxious because they couldn’t eat each other, let out a scream-like shout.
I let out a scream as I was so overwhelmed that I had to face a great hero.
“He’s a hero! The great hero Lee Jae-hyung!”
“To meet the great hero who slaughtered the Demon King… Ugh… This is the achievement of a lifetime.”
“Aren’t we going to be put in important positions because we look so good!? Are we going to become nobles!?”
Cordelia’s eyes sparkle like starlight.
“That might be true.” From what I heard through the rumor, there are cases where some adventurers were brought in and placed in important positions.”
Jade smiles cheerfully.
“A noble… With Jade… A noble… Then the children that will be born between us… Hehe.”
A rosy future was being drawn in her head.
“This is how you get ahead! Haha!”
Everyone bursts into laughter with joy.
Just one person
Except for the porter, Lloyd.
“…”
Lloyd’s expression her her her her, who had taken his place her her in her her corner her her her, was quite different from that of her her colleagues her her her her.
His complexion she was infinitely dark
For some reason, her body was shaking.
“Lloyd, are you okay?”
Did you notice something more than that?
The party leader, Jade, approaches and asks him.
“…It’s okay.”
“You’re lying, you don’t look okay at all?”
“…”
“Tell me, Lloyd, what’s going on?”
Jade opens her mouth with a characteristic friendly smile.
“That’s right, don’t groan inside and just say it!”
“Do you have an upset stomach? I have some good herbs. Shall I give them to you?”
If you shit, don’t squeeze it like a dog, idiotloid “
My colleagues laugh cheerfully as usual.
“I…I was wondering if this was right.”
“What?”
“We didn’t subdue the orc village…Ugh!”
Suddenly
Before Lloyd could speak
The rough palm blocks his mouth.
“Watch your mouth, Lloyd.”
Jade, who had a kind smile, opened her mouth with a cold expression she had never shown before.
Saaaaa
That was not all.
The bold ax warrior, Gainaldo
Jenny, the innocent thief
The innocent wizard, Cordelia
He makes a cruel expression that he has never shown before.
“Hey!”
Lloyd, the porter, let out a scream at the sight of that brutal sight.
“Hey, Lloyd, ruin someone’s life.”
Guy Nal continues her words with a fierce force rising.
“What kind of idiot are you talking about here? Do you want to die?”
Jenny took out a dagger from his chest and spoke in a cold tone.
“Jade, pay attention, please, don’t come to the imperial court and act like an asshole, please.”
Cordelia, who was always bright, spits out her harshest words and scolds her.
“..Ah..Ah..”
Lloyd feels cognitive dissonance.
The free and cheerful adventurers he knew no longer existed.
There are only ugly people stained with greed
“Lloyd.”
At that time, Jade, who had been silent, opens her mouth.
“Listen, this is an opportunity. A chance to rise in status that will never come again even if it lasts a lifetime. I don’t want to miss this opportunity, you know? How much I have longed to become a nobleman.”
“…Ugh..”
Jade spoke openly
I want to one day receive a title and become a lord who rules my hometown.
“What if, if you make a fool of yourself and miss this opportunity, I don’t think I’ll be able to control myself…”
As Jade continues speaking, murderous intent passes through her eyes.
Creepy
Lloyd, reading that murderous intention, flutters his eyes.
“You know what I mean, right?”
Nod nod nod
Lloyd keeps shaking his head.
“I heard it’s good that Lloyd is quick-witted, right?”
Sigh
Did you like that reaction?
Jade grins and pats her on the shoulder.
“Don’t feel so guilty, it was the village we planned to subdue anyway, so the order just changed.”
Self-justification full of force.
“It’s true, in a way, we can be seen as victims. Oh, that’s right.”
“Because it’s the fault of those who cut in line first.”
“It’s just about receiving the rightful compensation that should have been received.”
All party members participate in that forced rationalization.
“…”
I felt indescribable disgust, but Lloyd didn’t show it.
I felt anxious that if I made a mistake, I might be killed right away
“Okay, then Lloyd seems to be convinced, so let’s get ready quickly. His Majesty is waiting for us.”
Jade has a refreshing smile.
He had suddenly transformed into the cheerful adventurer he originally was.
“Oooooh!”
“Let’s go!”
“Good!”
Of course, so did others.
************
“Hey..This is the secret training ground.”
“I can’t believe there is a training hall of this size underground.”
“Look at the weapons here, Wind Blaze, Chronos Edge, Pale Note, and Impact Chain. They are all luxury goods.. Wow.”
“The wall is so thick, you wouldn’t know if an explosive exploded at this level?”
The Silver Wings Adventurers arrived at the emperor’s secret training hall and opened their mouths in admiration.
The quality was so high that it was unbelievable to call it just a training center.
“Something… I feel like my body is boiling?… Jade, shall we give it a try to warm up?”
Gainal takes out a huge ax strapped to his back.
“Not bad.”
Then Jade also takes out her sword and points it at him.
“I really can’t stop men~”
Seeing that, Jenny shakes her head as if she can’t stop it.
“Hohohoot, aren’t all men like that? Jade, if you win, I’ll give you a kiss!”
Cordelia smiles brightly and cheers.
A truly peaceful sight
“Okay then, let’s go”
“As much as you want!”
The moment when we were all dreaming of a rosy future and trying to confirm our passionate friendship
Sighhhhh
A completely unexpected event occurs.
Suddenly, the fountain of blood bursts
The floor of the training hall began to turn bright red.
And
Tuk Tuk
Two arms, each holding a sword and an axe, are rolling around on the floor.
“Aaaaah! Jade! Gainal!”
Cordelia, who understands the situation, screams with a thoughtful face.
“Arm…?”
‘My arm…Why?”
In a very unrealistic situation
Jade and Gainal, who have not yet faced reality, turn their gaze.
I could see them at that moment.
The cut site with blood flowing down and their right arm lying sprawled on the floor.
It was cut cleanly.
The right-hand man who was with me all my life
“Ugh..Ugh..Aaaaa!”
“Arms..Arms..Arms!”
Soon, Jade and Guynal begin to struggle while holding on to the cutting edge.
The moment I faced reality
This was because an indescribable and terrible pain filled them like a flood and tormented them.
It hurt.
It was so painful that I couldn’t bear it.
“Heaaaaa aaaaa…
“How on earth did this happen?”
“Call the priest… Call the priest! Quick! Quick!”
At that time when everyone fell into panic due to the sudden disaster
“I expected this kind of reaction since we subdued an orc colony that was easily over 2,000 in size.”
A leisurely voice penetrates their ears.
Naturally, their eyes follow the voice.
“I’m disappointed. This is a complete mess, isn’t it?”
And I could see it.
The appearance of a man wearing a richly decorated golden robe
“..All..You?!”
Those in the hall are astonished at the appearance of the man.
Although we had never met in person, it was a very familiar face.
That’s because huge statues of him were erected in every village.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Lee Jae-hyung, former warrior and current emperor.”
That’s right.
The identity of the man is Lee Jae-hyung
The hero who saved the world and the emperor of the Kainal Empire
The great hero that I had only heard about through rumors has revealed himself.
“Your Majesty..Why..Us..”
“Illusion magic, right?… Is that so?..”
“This is too much of a joke.. Come on.. Please put your colleagues back to normal.. Yes? Yes?”
Cordelia begins to beg with an expression that looks like she might cry at any moment.
“It’s not like illusion magic.”
Taak
At that moment, Jaehyung Lee snaps his fingers.
Gradually, slowly
“Quaaaaa!!”
“Aaaaah!”
At that moment, with a cutting sound, both Jade and Guynal’s legs are cut off.
A blade of wind flew from somewhere and cut off both of their legs.
“Aaaaa!! Jade!”
“Gainal..How… Ugh… “
The two women scream at the terrible sight.
“It’s absolutely reality.”
Lee Jae-hyung smiles mischievously at the scream.
“Why…Why are you doing this…What did we do wrong!”
“If I let you down, all you have to do is pay the price, baby.”
“Only… “Only for that reason.”
“Gochak? This body is a great hero and emperor. Gochak does not exist.”
“..I was wrong..I’m sorry for disappointing you..We were all in the wrong..Please..Please…Call a priest..My colleagues…Please save me.”
“It was wrong… I won’t reveal this to anyone… So… Please just send us back safely.”
Cordelia and Jenny knelt down and began to beg for forgiveness.
It was an absurd sophistry, but I did not hesitate to refute it.
I just ask for forgiveness and try to avoid the situation
“Do you want to live?”
Jaehyung Lee asks while smirking.
“I want to live!”
“Please save me!”
I earnestly understand them.
“There’s nothing I can’t let you live if you want. I’m a generous person.”
At those words, hope begins to appear in the eyes of the two women.
“There is a condition instead.”
“Say anything..Anything!”
“…I’ll accept any condition…If you want me to put your head on the ground, I’ll put it down and if you want me to lick your shoes, I’ll lick it…So …Please…Please…”
“Whoa, don’t look at me like a bad guy, no matter how bad I am, how could I make the ladies do such dirty things?”
Jaehyung Lee continues his speech while holding out both his hands and making a calming gesture.
“Just suck the pepper lightly.”
“Yes?”
“Yes!?
At that moment, Jenny and Cordelia ask questions with dumb expressions.
This was because they thought that perhaps they had heard wrongly.
Slurp
Jaehyung Lee answers that question with action.
Her waist belt was undone, exposing her sturdy, sturdy lower body to them.
“Are you deaf? Suck the pepper, damn it.”
Jaehyung Lee points to the stiffly erected lower leg of her.
The two women’s faces begin to turn pale in front of the endless vulgarity.
