Chapter 664 – #134_The Strange Date (5)
#664
One.
Compared to modern times, where even what happened on the other side of the world can be known in a matter of minutes, rumors about witches are still relatively late.
First of all, there is no clear community among witches.
Compared to the modern world, where various news can be accessed through SNS, articles, and all kinds of ways, witches tend to reject the latest technology.
Therefore, the way rumors are transmitted prefers the past way, such as letters or word of mouth.
In this situation, Dorothy, who was spending a leisurely time on a deserted island after breaking up with Siu, realized that he had been captured by Hexennacht only after ten days had passed.
Even among Qliphoth, Dorothy, who had a strong opinion, came in contact with the information this late, so Gehenna might not even notice.
What was Dorothy doing in the meantime….
He was busy with work.
An elegant office with a view of the jade-colored sea.
Dorothy was flapping a stack of papers, propped up on his phone with her chin and shoulder.
“Sell all of them.”
[Yes? Would you sign a contract at this price?]
“How are you?”
[If you refuse twice, you’ll get an extra $20,000 per shot.]
Dorothy responded calmly to the worried subordinate witch.
“It’s okay~ It’s okay~”
[… Then I will proceed like that.]
As you can see from the fact that she has been dealing with nuclear submarines for decades, Dorothy’s business is unusual in scale.
Right now, even this phone call was encrypted communication through her own communications satellite.
As Dorothy is a businesswoman with excellent intuition and thorough planning and has never lost a penny, it was not a matter of making a fortune at once if she made good use of this war.
But in this golden opportunity.
I just lost at least $10 million in one phone call.
It was a foolish choice that he would not have made even if he had Leruhe sitting in this seat instead of Dorothy.
“Ah~ It’s annoying.”
After putting down the phone, Dorothy threw away the papers with a clear expression of annoyance.
“Can’t someone just take over?”
The reason he was so busy after returning to the workshop was not because his business was busy thanks to the war.
It was because there were so many places to go to in the process of quitting the arms brokerage business and organizing the business.
All the witches she had under her command tried to dissuade Dorothy, as if she were crazy, but she was firm in her decision.
The reason why a business that has been doing well so far is closed during this peak season.
Dorothy was just a whim and evaded it,
Unfortunately, she was too smart to be fooled by the lies and excuses she told herself.
“It’s not even funny.”
If so, why?
This is because Shin Si-woo expressed dissatisfaction with the arms brokerage business in the past.
Just like a child scolded for not cleaning his room diligently cleans his room and expects praise.
One day, when I reunited with him and said ‘I’ve finished my business~’, I was tearing open the goose that lays golden eggs just because I wanted to see his happy expression.
For the same reason, the investment money in Hexsenacht was also withdrawn.
A decision and reason that Dorothy would have clicked her tongue in astonishment if she had seen it just a few months ago.
“She looks like an innocent girl.”
Still, I had no regrets.
2.
Dorothy, who was busy day by day, heard a startling rumor from her subordinate witch, who was reporting her.
It was the news that Shin Si-woo had been arrested by Hexenacht.
He did not receive a nice mansion and a title because he recovered his investment, but it does not change that Dorothy was an executive of Qliphoth.
He took up his citizenship and headed straight to Hexen Nacht to hear more rumors.
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to listen to his story.
Compared to Gehenna, which had already lost interest, Hexsennacht was crowded with stories of male witches.
Accordingly, the male witch and the sword witch are lovers.
I saw them kissing each other at the auction house.
No, it’s a priest-sister relationship.
I saw the male witch call the sword witch her master.
No, it’s a priest and a lover relationship.
Outside, he is a priest, but inside, he must be enjoying an obscene tryst, etc., And so on.
Among them, let’s filter out the gossip with stimulating seasoning and combine only the facts.
It is true that he was captured by the Sword Witch.
It is also true that they are not treated as prisoners or slaves for some reason, but that they walk around together calmly.
It was also confirmed that they stayed together at Hyangwolru.
“What kind of combination is this….”
If nothing else, there was one thing that was certain.
First of all, he did not voluntarily stay in Hexsenacht.
As far as Dorothy knows, Shin Si-woo is not a man suitable for this city.
Except in bed, there’s no way I’m rolling around among my exploits because I like a mild-mannered guy.
He is in debt
So, naturally, I decided to rescue him.
If you don’t pay it back, when will you pay it back?
“I’ll have to wait and see.”
However, Dorothy did not hastily contact him.
In the world, Rinne is judged only as a swordsman mad with swords.
As Dorothy, who has had some interactions with the Witch of the Sword, she is well aware of her tendencies.
Contrary to her appearance, Linnaeus is suspicious and quick-witted.
If Dorothy suddenly approached, she was likely to be on full alert.
Around the time I was thinking about how to pursue a natural encounter.
“Dorothy!”
The blue-haired witch who came to Dorothy with her face flushed red is the ‘witch of the storm’.
It was a sudden visit from her, but Dorothy churned out her information about her in her head.
Her real name is Landa Sylphid.
The hierarchy is 19 degrees.
She is not the Archwitch, and she is low in hierarchy, but she is a key figure in the ‘Solidus Merchant’ led by the ‘Witch of Gold Coins’.
Dorothy, who was active in business, had also been taken care of on several occasions.
Also, it’s been quite a while, but I think I’ve been drunk and rolled around in bed a few times.
“Landa~ It’s been a while? What’s happen?”
“It just went well. I want to ask you something, is that okay?”
“Request?”
“There’s an irritating guy I want to punish.”
Even if it is a request in words, I am full of confidence that half of it will be granted.
In terms of hierarchy, she had a much lower distribution than Dorothy.
The reason why Landa, who is only 19th in rank, was able to ask Dorothy for a favor without hesitation was because of her special ability.
Unrivaled money laundering skills.
Money laundering is essential in order to utilize the huge profits earned through negative economic activities, not in the bright side.
This process was more important to the outcasts of merit and public inclination.
If you neglected the 10% or 20% fee, it was common for your account to be frozen or the safe to be seized overnight.
When I turn it upside down in a fit of fuss, the location points, starting with Duke Tiphareth, are wide-eyed….
Something like that happens quite often.
The witch society, where hierarchy and power are gangsters, is also a society where people live.
Among the achievements that made money, there were few people who refused to do laundry or advice from Randa.
In simple words, Randa means a witch with a political background and a lot of money.
“So… !”
Landa, still unable to calm down her excitement, gesticulates and explains everything.
Randa’s life, which she thought was an annoying request, brought her an unexpectedly good opportunity.
The opportunity to naturally contact Shin Si-woo right away.
3.
“Is this a very cheeky-looking guy?”
She did not think that the witch who had been fighting earlier would buy Merona as Siwoo requested.
But it was even more unexpected that she would bring Dorothy out of the blue.
“…….”
Well, there is nothing strange about it.
Isn’t Hexsenacht a city of exploits?
No matter how you look at it, it must have been a coincidence that Dorothy was the witch who was brought in among so many witches.
“Because people around me are curious about being a male witch? Do you think anything is going to happen? I’m going to have a hard time~.”
She doesn’t say hello as if she’s happy to see her, and doesn’t pretend to know her.
It was a short speech, but Siu immediately guessed her intentions.
She’s going to pretend she’s not familiar with her at all.
“What do you think? Didn’t I say let’s see? Did he seem easygoing because he had a low hierarchy?”
A blue-haired witch who goes on a rampage, probably interpreting Siwoo’s face as a disappointment.
She even snorts in her arrogance.
“It’s fine even now, so cry and cry and beg for warmth.”
Dorothy boasts a flash that rivals her Linne.
Since a mere man started a fight without even knowing the subject, it was the intention of punishing him appropriately.
“What are you doing?”
At that time, Rinne, who had not even eaten half a bottle of soju and was in a state of unconsciousness, heard a shrill voice.
“The witch of the sword, I was publicly insulted by this Namchang cub. It demands a fair price.”
It’s not about fighting without countermeasures.
Because this is Hexsenacht, where quarrels are strictly forbidden, they do not come out proudly.
If there is a crisis in Randa’s identity, she is only a basket of witches who will be in trouble.
It was a head-on breakthrough based on the calculation that even the witch of the sword would not be able to handle the political pressure and contempt if she directly harmed Randa.
“Explain the situation.”
“Rinne, how have you been?”
It was Dorothy who responded to Rinne’s words.
“As you can see, it seems that this male witch verbally abused our cute Miss Landa. She came to me out of the blue and asked me to protest. That’s why I came.”
“Is it true?”
“… You’re right. But there are circumstances.”
I can do it to explain everything, but….
How things are going
How could a witch of mediocre rank use a tycoon like Dorothy for a petty quarrel?
In the first place, there is nothing that can properly grasp what the relationship between the two is like.
If you stay still, half of them cope with it moderately.
“Anyway, I couldn’t even listen, so I ran right away. What is it?”
“Yes, right now! Get down on your knees and apologize!”
“…….”
In the crucible of confusion, Siwoo felt a sense of crisis.
Because Linnaeus had her scabbard under her table.
His hand, which had been trembling due to drunkenness, quietly pulled out the sword with his undisturbed thumb.
I don’t know what that blue-haired witch believes in and is so squeamish, but as Siu watched, Rinne has a side other than her common sense.
The captured life that can only be felt right next to it proves this.
I’m thinking of picking it up.
And everywhere Bell thinks.
When Rinne’s position is shaken, Siu’s position as her prisoner is also shaken.
The moment you try to hold her back so that her disaster doesn’t happen.
“You’re the innocent Miss Landa who thinks she can command the world’s Dorothy by the tip of her chin, and even the Witch of Swords will pretend to be her with a word of her own.
Saying that such an immature person was cursed at, she came back with her face reddened, but I have to be able not to come back~”
Dorothy turned the point of her arrow in a strange place.
