Chapter 178 – Nosferatu (5)
Curling…
A roaring sound echoed in the air, enough to be mistaken for thunder. In response to the wrath of the ‘Trinity’, the mana around them was fluctuating.
“… I apologize.”
Blackwood’s head, Logan, bowed his head deeply.
Did not rebuke Perhaps he did all he could. So, Blackwood, the estate could have been fine on the outside.
In reality, there probably won’t be any major problems with Yeongji. Although the amount of damage was visible, Blackwood defended it early, so there was no major damage to the manor.
However, it was important that it was ‘Nosferatu’ that caused the confusion.
From the point of view of the Empire, Blackwood is a noble family that has sworn allegiance to Chepes, but has an independent territory separate from it.
Rather, to classify it, it is a family with great prestige enough to fall into the category of ‘great nobility’.
But the forces of the night. From the point of view of the blood demons, Blackwood is no different from Chepesche’s family, clearly under Chepesche’s control.
Nosferatu invaded Blackwood?
If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know—if you didn’t know, you’d be incompetent as such—and since you found out, you had to thoroughly retaliate.
“How long has it been?”
“It has been about 15 days since the intrusion into the Realm of Night began in earnest. According to the ‘crow’, it seems that the actual infiltration was about a month earlier than that.”
Did you say that you first infiltrated Blackwood about a month and a half ago?
Is it when I am in the middle of searching for memories and going to and from remote areas where I can’t even transfer because of the trials of Baal? To say it coincidentally, it was after he discovered the link between Nosferatu and the demon world.
“I was aiming.”
It took advantage of the weakening connection between me and the ‘crows’.
Hard. Teeth were split My anger was justified. However, the target was not aimed at Logan, who had fulfilled his responsibility as the head of Blackwood, in front of me, so I gathered my momentum.
“He did well while I was away. You’ve been through a lot.”
“… It is too much praise.”
It seems that Marlon was quite moved to see his shoulders tremble while taking away his humility.
Anyway.
“I’m sorry for dragging the work of the night here. Even though you were loyal to us, you are the nobles of the empire, not our side.”
In the eyes of the blood demons, Blackwood is the domain of Chepes, but I did not make the people of Blackwood my followers.
Rather than earn compulsory loyalty by shedding blood, as my grandfather did, I accepted their loyalty from the heart.
So even though Blackwood is a loyal servant of Chepes, he is not a blood demon.
I apologized for that.
“I don’t even know—! How can we have the grace we received…”
Logan shook his head and denied my words.
Originally, this is self-satisfaction. It’s something you don’t have to apologize for, but I apologize. That way, it can make the relationship smoother.
Of course, this only applies if I am A and the opponent is E. If I apologize for something that shouldn’t be apologized when I’m Eul, I’ll just get caught.
Aside from that, I also have no human affection for those who have been loyal to Chepes for a long time.
Apart from the results derived through calculating thinking, it is also true that I felt sorry for them who were caught up in the struggle between the forces of the night.
Upon hearing my apology, Logan made a puzzled face at first, then smiled faintly and nodded his head.
“That… Fuu, after all, the title of the greatest owner of Chepeshu in history is not for nothing.”
No. It’s the first time I’ve heard that word. I’ve never heard of such an unfamiliar word in the capital city or the academy, which can be called the center of the empire.
Besides, it’s out of the blue. I didn’t do anything in particular, but I feel like I’m being praised excessively, so I’m embarrassed…
“This title was first mentioned in our territory while weaving the heroic activities that the Duke of Chepes showed while traveling all over the continent, but now it is said that it is very common among the races of the night. I’m proud…”
When I asked where the hell did this come from, were you the main culprit?
At this point, shouldn’t it be seen that most of the strange and unknown rumors related to Chepes came from Blackwood?
No. Probably almost certainly
“There are many other things like this, but isn’t the root of His Highness’s family, ‘Chepesh’? In that sense, as a title that focuses on the basics, it is the best as expected—”
He calmly talks about something else, you bastard.
“Stop. Anyway, I’ll take care of this, so don’t worry anymore. Have you collected the data you have been researching so far?”
“Yes. We will send it to your room.”
With that, the confrontation with Logan was finished.
When I returned to my room, I was greeted by two women who jumped up as if they had been waiting for me.
“Master!”
“Did your talk with the Count go well?”
He nodded. Daisy and Eileen, there was a reason why I chose these two as my companion. Of course, the reason is that other girls are still tied to the academy.
It was a set procedure for Nosferatu, or Draculea, to extend her demonic powers to Blackwood.
Since I’ve purged Draculea, of course she’s left with only Nosferatu.
I didn’t think he’d already crawled in, avoiding my eyes. According to the original plan, the plan was to prevent them in advance before they invaded.
It’s a bit late, but it doesn’t change anything anyway. The fact that there is no damage has settled down heavily in my heart, but that doesn’t change what I have to do.
Drive Nosferatu out of Blackwood. Then go to their territory and, just like you did with Draculea, purify it.
That’s my plan Daisy and Eileen, two people, are the people for that.
Although one more person is expected to join.
‘Is that me?’
When I said this, my sister asked me that. Unfortunately, she is not.
‘What? Hey!’
The voice of my sister’s argument is vivid in my ears.
When I told her to communicate properly with Kona at the estate, not thinking of following me, I got very angry and shouted, “I don’t know!”
Even if you say so, you will be obedient as instructed.
Anyway, Daisy is Blackwood’s second daughter. To solve Blackwood’s affairs, her presence is close to essential.
For now, the fact that I visited Blackwood is unheard of. As my movement in the process of coming to this place is also thoroughly secret, the only people who know that I am here are my party and the people of Blackwood.
There is no need to doubt that all the people of Blackwood are the ones that the family head and my ‘crows’ have filtered out once.
In other words, in order to prepare for the situation where the denizens of Nosferatu who had infiltrated the news of my visit escaped, or hid with their breath.
Hiding my identity, putting Daisy on the surface. With the setting of a second daughter who returned to her hometown and was entrusted with the full authority to solve the case in the territory by her father, the head of the household.
It’s not a huge mistake, though.
Besides, there is one more thing that needs to be addressed.
To be precise, the dark side of her that I once felt.
I wanted to solve it somehow. This time, it would be nice if it could be solved to some extent.
I didn’t intend to finish it at the level of simply cutting off the devil’s demons lurking in Blackwood. I plan to purge even Nosferatu this time, so it will help clear the darkness in Daisy’s heart.
Aileen is a suitable talent when I need magic that I cannot use.
I’ve said it many times, but I’m weak against the general magic used by ordinary wizards. I wonder if it’s a very simple, clean life magic. The so-called ‘great magic’ is difficult to use directly, even if you have knowledge.
It’s because of my magical properties.
There’s nothing I can’t do if I push myself a little, but it’s better to just bring Eileen, who, unlike me, can use most of the magic that exists in the current magic system.
“I’m not an Archmage yet, so I can’t use great magic beyond the realm.”
“… What is it? Suddenly. Do you have anything to add to the fact that I am still stagnant?”
After muttering to herself, Eileen raised her eyebrows. The other day, he seemed to be having a hard time with me, but after lying down on the bed, he became a bit more comfortable, and now we go on a trip together and mix our bodies outdoors every night, so now we are very friendly.
It also shows the otaku side. Even now, sometimes looking at me with a perverted eye makes me feel strange.
Yes, what Anyway, if my woman finds me difficult, that’s a problem in its own right.
Anyway, it’s still stagnant, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t expect Eileen to have combat power.
Main is me alone. What Eileen wants is an assistant role.
“So don’t go ahead and save yourself.”
“What… It’s a little annoying that you don’t trust me, but I get it.”
He nods his head obediently even though he is ticklish.
What. Feeling like a tsundere aristocratic lady, my heart was pounding for nothing. If you are a tsundere, you have an older sister, but rather than a tsundere, you should say that your older sister is more like a slutty yoke.
Not a typical heroine-like tsundere, but a tsundere like a real brother and sister.
Anyway, after getting close, Eileen’s tic-tik-tik that I could see echoed strangely.
“Before we start in earnest, let’s get rid of it for now.”
“Extract, subtract? Subtract what Now, hold on. Is it still midday? Wow! Uh, where can I touch you!”
“Will you be nice and not be rude, Top Lord? Or, if you really don’t like it, can I do it first?”
“… Do it quickly!”
Indeed.
Are you saying that you don’t want to postpone the order while being ticklish?
Tsundere heroine. After being attacked, the element looks cute, but before the attack, he is a troublesome character who interrupts and bounces at every incident.
But what about a character who becomes a tsundere after being attacked?
There is no hassle before the attack!
Of course, as the relationship that was almost hostile before the attack gradually develops, there are people who feel joy in completing the attack, and I don’t hate it either.
Wasn’t I already a man who had a harem in the first place?
I don’t know if it’s pure love. It is a body that does not have the time or leisure to attack the heart of the heroine who is just bouncing around.
In that sense, Eileen can truly be said to be a great heroine.
This isn’t a game, it’s reality.
“What, why are you looking down like that?”
So better.
Because this warmth and touch are all real.
“Aang. I’m the owner Hurry up, me too.”
I’m glad the reincarnated body is Scarlet, really.
If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t have done a fortune teller right away.
