Chapter 179 – Nosferatu (6)
Anyway, what you need to do in this situation is to gather information.
If this is a game cheat, and I’m the main character, not Scarlett… If it were the main character, other than my sister, I would have spent quite a bit of time just gathering information.
For example.
Ask questions from local residents.
Investigate suspicious-looking places yourself.
Sit in a bar or something and overhear the talk of the drunkards.
Buying information by paying money to information vendors.
What things like that
But I don’t have to.
Why?
“Here are the materials you mentioned.”
“Good work. Leave it there.”
While hiding the two exhausted, naked women who were gasping for breath in the shadows, they took the data brought by the maid in Blackwood.
That’s a pretty good amount. As expected, even if Nosferatu penetrated while I was away, the damage would have been less than expected because I defended it with such detail and aggressiveness.
“Now, come out and see.”
After confirming that the maid had stepped back and removed her shadow, Daisy and Eileen, neatly dressed, came out of the room.
It must have been a little creepy because I almost got caught.
“This…”
“I don’t think it would be easy to respond if the data were of this quality.”
A little awkward. As befits excellent talents, the two women seemed to quickly recognize the value of the data. As she flipped through the documents, her eyes lit up, and she pointed her finger everywhere to explain how valuable this information was to me.
“… Even with this amount of data, you can’t completely block it. Should I say that, or should I say that? . Where does that power come from?”
“No. Rather the opposite.”
“Four?”
I corrected Eileen’s admiring sigh.
“Something seems to be messy inside. Seeing them move so quickly and step on their tails.”
If Draculea had her eyes on other races—elves, werewolves, and dwarves—on the contrary, Nosferatu’s main followers were humans.
It is not uncommon for them to give up a lot of blood to make them ‘relatives’, or to give only a very small amount of blood to make them ‘ghouls’ who have lost their intelligence.
In other words, the power of the guys who infiltrated the empire without knowing it would be quite wide.
Just like in the case of the guy he hunted himself during the rank war.
In order to increase their power that much, slowly permeating and swallowing a territory without any sign of it would be their speciality.
In particular, Blackwood is the place where the influence of Chepes directly reaches. No matter how urgent it was, it would have been prudent if it was more cautious, and it was good to say that there was little possibility of such a clumsy move.
As long as the inside is in normal condition.
“Then, now is the right time.”
Daisy’s eyes lit up at my explanation. Knowing the fear that subtly lurked in it, I smiled kindly and stroked her pink bobbed hair.
“Huh. So I need your help.”
As I said before, Daisy is the perfect person to front for me. Neither I nor Eileen can step out, and if the family heads do step out, they can hide.
“Yes. … I will do my best, for the sake of my master.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Yes?”
She clenched her fists and tackled the motivated Daisy. Yes, working for me is an honor and I am grateful.
“This time, not for me. For you. Okay?”
“Ah. … Yes.”
I don’t know if I understood you well.
*
There was no need for her to delay, so she got to work right away. Eileen and I hid in Daisy’s shadow, and Daisy, accompanied by Blackwood’s privates, began stirring slowly through the estate.
Clumsy—!
“There is an intelligence that there is a treason island in the territory here. Everyone, raise your hands above your head!”
“Huh! Hey, what is this! Ah, even the lord’s soldiers are so reckless—”
“This guy! Can’t you see who’s behind me?!”
“I command this as someone who has inherited Blackwood’s bloodline and has been entrusted with full authority for this matter by the head of the household. Everyone, please obey the investigation.”
“… Big!”
Like this.
Those who were itching for the situation in the hideous estate began to ruthlessly subdue the rebels as they had an easy-to-understand face called Daisy.
Apparently, they seem to be beating up not only those who are suspected of being Nosferatu’s runners, but also those with other charges.
‘Even though Blackwood must be a well-organized territory, it seems that there are quite a few big men, not petty criminals.’
‘Either they came from another territory to expand their power, or they took advantage of the chaos to call their power, or those who have power in both the good and the dark… What sort of thing would that be? It’s obvious.’
It wasn’t a big deal, and the darkness that permeated the inside of the estate of a great aristocrat the size of Blackwood was quite large, so Eileen added from the side.
Is it.
‘First of all, what if you are the ‘lord of the night’ and don’t know these things? Really.’
‘What does it matter, that? My ‘night’ is clean. I don’t call it ‘night’ in a metaphorical sense like humans do.’
Commonly, the time zone where criminals are active is metaphorically referred to as ‘night’ and their area as ‘back alley’.
And I, though ‘Cepesh’ is the ‘ruler of the night’.
The two are distinctly different. Absolutely!
‘I wonder if it’s Nosferatu.’
They must be deeply entangled in the ‘night’ and ‘back alleys’ of humans.
‘… Anyway, it’s a headache, things like that. It’s better to uproot it as soon as the opportunity presents itself.’
‘Is this a story of experience?’
‘Yes. Back when my father passed away and I was still a rookie.’
Let’s say Eileen was when she was a newbie, she wasn’t even a few years old. She was truly admired for her ability to capture her magic tower and territory in those few years.
She suddenly felt that this woman hiding in the shadows with me was one of the ‘main heroines’ with talent that was said to be the best in the entire continent.
‘It’s amazing.’
‘… Well, there’s nothing wrong with complimenting me like that, right?’
‘I didn’t mean anything specifically.’
‘I already gave it all to you— ah.’
‘Ah.’
Silence for a while.
Is it. You gave it all to me, so there’s nothing left to give you.
As I silently nodded her head, Eileen, blushing enough to see clearly even in the dark in the shadows—even though I had eyes that could see clearly in the dark—stabbed my side.
Even if you’re so ashamed
‘… Anyway. Surely it wouldn’t hurt to clean up as soon as you get the chance. Besides, if we catch them without distinction like this, the runners of Nosferatu won’t notice that they’re the target, so they’ll be less vigilant.’
Of course, in terms of catching them regardless, getting caught when they are discovered is the same thing.
However, psychological stability is different.
Think about it. A situation in which the police or prosecutors set themselves as the target and beat them up to the wanted list, and just wandering around and raiding and catching those who seem low-quality.
It’s all risky, but the former is far more terrifying.
So anyway, it wasn’t a bad way.
‘… Excuse me.’
‘Hmm?’
Eileen, who had been keeping her mouth shut as if she had become embarrassed after the conversation earlier, carefully brought her words out.
‘Is it okay for us to stay like this? No matter how much it is, they might run away if this happens?’
‘Ah. Is that worry?’
So, no matter how intimidating this method is, in the end, if there is an empty place in the siege, running away will be the same, so shouldn’t we catch them instead of hiding in the shadows like this?
Does that mean?
‘If that’s the case, that’s fine. I sent the ‘crows’.’
Called about 30% of the ‘crows’ scattered all over the continent, and surrounded this place.
In order to minimize the hole in the information network on purpose, I didn’t bring in only the guys in close positions, but took two from one from across the continent, so it consumed quite a bit of stamina.
Once called, nothing to worry about.
I don’t know if it’s a gap where the connection between the shadows has become blurred due to my absence.
If not, at least on the continent, there is no group that possesses both information gathering and military power at the same time as ‘crows’.
This is your own pride.
I don’t know how Nosferatu noticed and planned things while the shadows I spread, including the ‘Temple’, faded.
Well, it must have been that the demon king saw it with those ‘eyes’ and told me. With eyes like that, I can roughly understand it at my age.
Anyway, more than twice doesn’t work.
Eileen’s worries are admirable, but she doesn’t have to worry anyway.
And.
‘It’s not like we’re playing, either.’
‘Eww.’
‘There, the balance is out of balance. Are the circuit connections a bit unstable?’
‘Wook. Take it easy.’
There are also things being prepared in the shadows.
-You are my master.
Timely.
From the ‘Eye’, the mantra has returned.
What is it
As I recited it inwardly, in a serious voice, my loyalist delivered it to me.
—I caught the lead of those who dared to rebel against the great you. Is it a colonel?
Is it.
As I was talking to the ‘crow’ with my mouth shut for a while, the sidekick said, “Hey, hey? Can’t you hear me? … Are you my husband look at this It’s dark here and it’s scary when it’s quiet… !” Although Eileen was talking with a teary face.
It’s cute, so I decided to leave it for a while.
‘What should I do?’
I thought about it for a moment, but my worries didn’t last long.
Let it be captivated for a moment. Don’t let me freeze
─Name.
Daisy, who is pulling out the rotten roots that are eating away at her estate, and her soldiers who follow her are full of joy, so watch a little longer.
Then let’s talk
It would be a waste to step forward and say, ‘Now that we’ve got it, let’s stop and go see them’, and besides, there will be others besides them.
Daisy might catch it before the other crow catches it.
“… Master.”
Daisy paused for a moment and said, as if my thoughts, to be precise, the surface of emotions flowed through the shadows.
At first, I thought I had heard that one was caught, but it seems that is not the case.
“If I find more than crows. Are you giving me a prize?”
I don’t have to, but I listen to what I want.
