Chapter 224 – Maman, an Elf With Extraordinary Ambition
I returned to Hellif. Wouldn’t this be ruined?
I wanted to find all the clues. It was still a mystery.
Rather, I only became more curious. Why did the beast village have to become like that, and who did it?
‘There’s no way a passing band of thieves did that. The beastmen are not a weak race enough to lose to the bandits.’
As you can tell just by looking at Lumina, the beastmen were a strong race. Even in the jungle, which is called the green desert, the beast people adapt and live calmly.
“Rash, this incident… Isn’t that too much?”
“Let’s just think about it slowly.”
“… Yes.”
Without coming to a conclusion, we each went to our rooms.
I could see the back of Lumina, downcast and reluctantly heading towards her room.
I want to go and pat him on the back. I couldn’t do that.
The only clues are a letter with the letter H engraved on it and the front door of Lindy’s house.
And there was only a suspicion that a crowd had attacked the village of beastmen.
‘What can I do with this?’
I sighed and sat down on the bed. I secretly asked the goddess.
‘Goddess, do you have any clues?’
〈I don’t know. However, I was talking about the beastman village earlier.〉
‘Yes, what is it?’
〈I didn’t feel it directly, but I was full of the energy of the dead.〉
‘Dead? ‘You mean undead?’
〈Yes.〉
Undead? Why does the undead appear at this timing?
From what I heard, either when Heliph was a village or now when it was a fiefdom.
I have never been involved with the undead.
However, the goddess said that she felt the energy of the undead in the place where the beast village was.
Isn’t the culprit Heliph Youngji?
‘The prisoners disappeared without a trace, and I didn’t even feel the energy of the corpse.’
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed difficult to solve.
〈 My man, why should I say this? When I stay here, I feel like my power is constantly being suppressed.〉
‘I feel that way too. I don’t know what kind of harmony it is. Navigation or anything else becomes difficult.’
It was a really unpleasant city. Suddenly, a method occurred to me.
‘Ha, should I use the old method?’
The method used to find the hideout of cultists in the Weaverpool territory.
I wanted to pry into the lord’s back while remaining invisible.
This time, it’s not just a title, it’s a more authentic relic.
The possibility of it working was very high.
‘Okay, let’s go.’
When I came out, it was already early evening. I’ll go to a place as dark as possible, and when I get to the permanent residence, I’ll use invisibility.
With that in mind, I walked and walked again. While walking down a dark alley, I stopped in shock.
‘What? What is this familiar figure?’
I thought I was mistaken. Since coming here, my senses have been messed up more than once.
But this time was a little different. I felt something that I have felt often.
Phew, boom!
Soon, a bloody corpse fell in front of me and shattered into pieces.
It was already a blood-soaked corpse when it fell from the sky.
‘Dead body… ?’
When I looked up, I saw someone looking down at me with the wings of a bat spread wide.
Jet black armor, black pantyhose worn as a spare underneath, and even a leopard-shaped mask.
He looked down at me intently and landed on the ground.
“… Who is it? “Who is this, killing so calmly?”
I could hear the other person taking a deep breath in response to my question.
I looked down at the body again. Seven halos of light emitted from the corpse’s solar plexus and then went out.
Did you beat the early stages of Master? Who on earth is this person?
“You also… “You’re human.”
“Okay. “Thank you for not mistaking me for a half-goblin.”
“I thought so at first.”
“… Listen to that. Listening to it again after a long time feels different.”
As we talked, I got a feel for it. Did the general store merchant talk about it?
A murderer who only selects and kills humans. Is that him?
The other party revealed itself by emitting a blue eye glow beyond the mask.
“I am a vigilante.”
“I thought so. The outfit also reminds me of Brother Bae.”
“… “What?”
“No, no. So, what is the reason for only killing humans?”
“Wrong. “I only select and kill guilty people.”
Shrugged his shoulders. They really are a vigilante.
“You know that’s not acceptable in human society, right?”
“I am a prisoner. “I’m not interested in that.”
“But in the end, this is a society created by humans.”
“I will resist. If we remain silent while the society they created encroaches on us, we will eventually become slaves or wanderers. Isn’t that right?”
If this person wasn’t a prisoner, he would have stopped it.
The more murder you do, the more your personality wears away.
But there must be circumstances.
“I don’t know if you believe it, but I went to the beastman village today with my beastman friend.”
“There is no village of beastmen.”
“Are you a survivor? “Do you know what happened?”
At my question, the vigilante shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
“There is an absolute being that even I cannot stop.”
“What? Who is that?”
“That’s it. “When I try to remember, my consciousness keeps getting blurry.”
“… “I want to help the prisoners.”
“Aren’t you human?”
“Not all humans are evil. “I’m just helping my friend Suin.”
The vigilante seemed a little troubled by my answer. Then he looked down at the corpse and clicked his tongue.
“This man was the strongest man here. Through this person, prisoners were used for human trafficking.”
“Really?”
“Yes, there really is a difference, but in any case, with this person’s death, everything will be okay for the time being.”
It was a bit disappointing. I was wondering if you took Lindy with you.
No, since he said he has a separate boat, I’ll have to ask him.
“How do you know there is a separate back boat? Did you eavesdrop on it?”
“… “Why should I tell you that?”
“Like I said, I want to help prisoners who are discriminated against. No matter how rapid progress has been made, one-sided discrimination must be avoided.”
“Look, you’re pretty strong.”
“Strong. If necessary, I can subdue you here.”
The opponent’s muscles became stiff. It was to be on guard.
But I laughed like an idiot.
“But I won’t. You keep condemning people you consider evil. That’s enough.”
“… “They are your compatriots?”
“They’re not my friends, are they? So I won’t stop you. I don’t think that stupid law will solve this problem properly.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes. And if you want to mess with others, you have to be prepared to mess with yourself. In that sense, I actually support vigilante activities.”
Even if the death penalty did not have a significant effect in preventing crime, it was at least a deterrent.
Unfortunately, our country was a pathetically reckless country that did not implement the death penalty even though it had it.
If the law were perfect and lawyers were just, would there be a need to call for the death penalty? Since the law does not protect us, we will naturally rely on vigilantes.
Because the law is an asshole.
Seeing me like this, the other person nodded slowly.
“There is an ambitious nobleman aiming for the position of lord. They say he’s a fallen nobleman. “Go see her.”
“Was there someone like that?”
She was given the woman’s name and address by the vigilante. Honestly, this was an unexpected windfall.
It looks like you have considerable intelligence. I was curious.
I looked at the vigilante. Bright red blood was splattering on the pitch black armor and was going down without even drying.
Even though she was breathing irregularly and with difficulty, her eyes remained alive.
I shrugged.
“Then move on, vigilante. Just know this one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Most humans may be evil, but not all humans are evil. I hope that your standards for selecting criminals do not become corrupted.”
It was a pretty serious statement. This was ultimately the reason why vigilante groups and private sanctions were known to be dangerous.
It was about who judges someone and by what standard.
Of course, I agree with judging criminals whom the whole world knows about.
They say they will do what the law can’t do, but unless you’re an incompetent police officer or a high-ranking person, you should welcome it, right?
But what if you killed someone who was obviously ambiguous?
From here, the ambiguous standards of private sanctions collapse. And we will gradually lose justice.
“Ha, I know. Even if I exceed that standard, wouldn’t it be okay to be judged by someone like you?”
“Oh, please hand over your head?”
“Okay. I don’t think what I’m doing now is absolute justice. But I know it’s something someone has to do.”
“It’s something that has to be done, but no one has ever done it. “Do your best.”
He left the place affirming the vigilante group. This may be a situation that would make self-proclaimed generous SNS addicts or community idiots grit their teeth.
I would rather believe in vigilantes than in imperfect laws. Especially if that is the method that suits the beasts.
I crossed the dark square and headed to the mansion on the other side.
Even though it was a mansion, it was so small that it was dwarfed by the mansion where Lilia and Loria lived.
Still, it was old-fashioned enough. It seemed like the owner had his own sense of interior design as well.
‘The walls are wrapped in rose vines…’ There is no wall that is not covered.’
I sighed and tried to go inside. As I passed through the iron window and approached the main gate of the mansion, a notification suddenly appeared in front of me.
[What brought you here?]
She shrugged her shoulders and said.
“I came to meet Viscount Razshara, a noble elf and a fallen nobleman, the most noble of all elves.”
No other reminders came to mind as I spoke. However, there was no door opening or anything like that.
No, what is it? Why the notification in the first place?
Cheolkkeok, kihi profit.
A gate that opens by itself and makes a strange sound. Is this a sign to come in?
I went inside. Everything was gloomy and dark, like a haunted mansion.
After passing through the lobby that seemed to be completely unmaintained, I headed to the second floor room where I could feel the only presence.
I composed myself as I headed to the most central room on the second floor.
Because there might be a fight.
‘The vigilantes seemed to believe her, but this was my first time meeting them. Moreover, noble elves are the most noble yet arrogant elves. Among the elves, they are the ones who resemble Alf the most.’
I never thought I would meet a noble elf here. I swallowed dry saliva and knocked on the door.
Knock.
“Come in.”
A voice was heard that was thin but clearly caught in the ear, and had a sophisticated yet captivating charm.
I opened the door and went in. Inside the room, there was a bed decorated with roses. In that bed, there was a woman showing off her long, white legs.
She was a woman with ears longer and more pointed than those of an elf, looking at me, with her lips gently biting a red flower petal. She was a woman of supreme and elegant dignity.
‘Just watching her quietly like this makes her heart tremble. What the hell…’
I took a step closer. Her appearance was more clearly visible.
Long light blue hair and deep purple eyes that resemble an abyss.
The G-cup glamorous body overwhelmingly filled my field of vision, and the chest and thigh lines revealed by the thin clothing caught my attention.
She spoke her words as she stood with her Void energy wrapped around her body, something I had seen before.
“Welcome, human. I am Rajshara Dihaibon. “She is an ambitious woman and a patron noblewoman who longs for this territory.”
“You crave this territory?”
“Yes, I will devour this territory someday. “Starting with this, I will make the world mine!”
“I have a favor to ask of you.”
Rajshara opens her eyes wide and radiates madness. I’m really out of my mind.
A woman whose dream is to conquer the world.
Raj Shara opened her crotch slightly.
“If you’re going to ask for a favor, you have to show sincerity, right? Now,
Lick it
.
