Chapter 241 – 56. Bloodwind. (2)
A little over a month after leaving Vermandois, Allen finally arrived in the capital. Of course, the iron mask viola and the blood club Gione Danju, who left before them, had already arrived here and were looking into the situation.
Normally, Allen would have gone to a high-class inn and relieved himself of fatigue, whether or not they quarreled with each other, but this time, he was particularly taken care of by Granzo Danzoo. … There are also conversations to share in more detail.
… Granjo Danju, who said she had seen her seventh child the other day, greeted Allen with a smile on her face and a newborn baby in her arms. Seeing the great man with a cold wind blowing through her face usually smiles like that, my son is definitely in good shape.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face! You’ve had a lot of trouble catching the monster.”
“Don’t talk. I think I know why the Empire failed. Even if you give them a lot of money, it’s so hard, but if you don’t give them a lot of money and pamper them, they’ll beat you right away.”
“Originally, subjugation operations are a bit difficult. Did you catch a giant snake? Did you put his skull on display?”
“I put it on the base entrance. Since we have suffered this much, spit out the money, isn’t it a kind of protest?”
The two laughed haha.
“How much did you decide to eat?”
“I haven’t decided anything for sure yet, but I’m looking at it enough to work for ten years.”
“Of course, it is the price of a life, but it is enormous. Did I do that too? Since the mouth family is growing, it seems that money is a little tight.”
“He has enough money to live on until his third generation.”
“Shouldn’t the soup run out if you say something in pain?”
“What the.”
Before being a great wizard, Granzo Danju was also a mercenary. A mercenary who would do anything for money. Of course, now that I have face, I won’t be as violent as I used to be.
Glenn Jo Danzoo handed her baby back to his wife, and went into a secret room alone with Allen Danzoo.
We exchanged simple greetings, now it’s time to get to the main topic.
“It’s unfortunate that Danju Arione died.”
“Even I didn’t know that a noble nobleman would go so vain. … This is probably why it is said that life is unpredictable.”
“It makes sense for a hound to be eaten when it serves its purpose. Arione Danju was too attached to power. Then I’d rather bow down to the end, since I’m proud of myself, wouldn’t I have hastened my name in the end?”
“That’s a neat review. It might be a bit cruel to that guy, but.”
It is a known fact that the conductor, Arione, was the loyal dog of the Marquis Partalotti. Rumors circulated that the relationship between the two was not as good as before, and eventually this division broke out.
“Who are you? A new hound.”
“It’s a kid named Arpen.”
Arpen Moore.
A candidate for the 10th round, and a person who is quite famous in the central region along with lucky guy Rick these days.
Still a young man in his mid-twenties, but that bloody cutting was not an ordinary skill.
“He was one of the people who were pointed out as the successor of the Sword Emperor. They say he’s a genius. … Well, to me, a typical opportunist.”
“Still, the advertisement is definitely done. As long as even the sophomore, who is not very interested in outside affairs, will be so enthusiastic.”
“Since he is a candidate for the round of 10, we should give him some attention. … I want to take a picture of a better guy, but there is no character!”
Silence for a moment. Allen moistened her dry lips with tea and opened her mouth again.
“Didn’t you have any ground work?”
“None. The Marquis family has already approached you once.”
“What are you going to do?”
“What do you regret about me sticking to such a idioty old man? An old man, full of greed in his later years.”
“Isn’t it the beginning of a new era? There will be a lot of greed. Aren’t you famous for being greedy?”
“If it’s time to search, just wait for the day when you can search properly. That’s why I don’t like older guys.”
But Allen did not underestimate her marquise’s resourcefulness. There must be more than one group of mercenaries who have already gone over to his side.
In the first place, the main stem running through Chapter 4 was war. A continuation of the bloody war vibrating on the continent. … The reason why Allen tried to grow as quickly as possible was to somehow survive in such a gap.
“If it’s enough to kill even Danju Arione, it won’t be an ordinary resolution. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is almost unconditional.”
“I am sniffing too. The old man, he has been preparing for war since the death of the previous emperor. … Perhaps Arione Danju would have objected. So he was killed.”
“How will the imperial palace respond?”
“You know what the tone of the empire is like. Wait and see What’s more, the new emperor was too much of a step back. Even if the ancestors were not competent, the pulpit was there. But the new emperor doesn’t even have that. They only indulge in luxury and pleasure. … He’s never been through war, so he doesn’t know its horrors. That said, the Marquis wouldn’t let negative public opinion circulate about him in the imperial palace. He has that kind of power.”
Granzo Danju sighed lightly.
“In addition, the murloc prince who guarded the palace also withdrew. The emperor and the duke are brothers, but their personalities are completely different. Incompetence envy the ability. If you’re not careful, arrows of fury may be fired at the murloc ball. There’s no way the clever Lord Murloc wouldn’t know that. So he won’t be quick to say anything. If you provoke the marquis in a nonchalant way, you never know what will happen.”
“… It means even the murlocs will take a step back.”
“Okay. I won’t do anything to set myself on fire. If it’s not something that’s directly harmful to the imperial palace, he’ll watch the war of the marquis too.”
In the end, the conclusion that war is inevitable.
The fire ghost, who had been tapping his fingers on the table like waving his fingers, nodded at the money ghost.
“I’m sure they’ll work on you too. … I’m not going to tell you what to do when I see you. However, you have no choice but to protect your body. Especially in times of crisis like this.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve seen the case of Arione Danju, and you can’t help but make a foolish choice.”
“… Yes, because you are wise.”
However, it would not be possible to completely avoid this bloody wind brought by the Marquis.
Because Allen already knew that the marquis’ greed wouldn’t stop with just one or two territories.
… There is no time to worry about the safety of others. First of all, I have to focus on protecting my body and my people. That’s the first one
The talk of the Marquis and the war ended there.
“Stay as long as you like. I will only receive one hundred gold coins a day.”
“… Are you kidding?”
“You made a lot of money too.”
“Okay, I’m going to eat eggs.”
“It’s a joke. Just give me fifty.”
“Ah, why are you doing this so sadly? Comrades who share their hearts!”
“Are you comrades only at this time? … It’s a real joke. Stay as much as you like. For free.”
“You will be blessed.”

Arpen Moore.
In fact, he is more famous as a bloodthirsty than the name Arpen.
The reason why the nickname bloodthirsty came from is because of the habit of tasting the blood of the person you killed.
Others would think that the act was due to a simple commemorative or perverted temperament, but… After mastering [Guild Master], Allen knew the reason very clearly.
This bloodthirsty Arpen judges opponents by taste, and is one of the few people who has a fixed [Esthetician] Trait attached.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this ambitious man was a key figure in the scenario leading to Chapter 4. He claimed to be the hound of the Marquis, but in the end, he was a terrible ambition who swallowed even the writer En Hu. Perhaps a person who symbolizes the existence of [Guild Master] As a mercenary.
Of course, as a [Genius], He is also excellent in military strength, and he was once pointed out as the successor of the Sword Emperor, but since he was a person who was more interested in power than inaction, the limits of his growth were clear. Of course, compared to Agnes or Natasha, there is no choice but to be inferior.
However, his charisma to control his subordinates and his ability to judge the situation were almost comparable to those of the top 10. Seeing that he eventually rises to the 10th class without player intervention, his ability is obvious.
In fact, his greatest talent was neither force nor judgment. … The very affinity that can blend together in any situation.
“This is Arpen Moore. It is an infinite honor to meet the top 10 Danju.”
[Strength: 61] [Agility: 52] [Stamina: 66] [Intelligence: 22] [Magic attribute: 31]
[Genius] [Aesthetic] [Insanity] [Desire] [Deceit] [Obsession] [Curiosity] [Authorism] [Efficiency] [Sensitiveness] [Insomnia]
Indeed.
The man who came to the meeting room to introduce himself as a candidate for the round of 10 was a young man who looked to be around Allen’s age.
The neat face and body that don’t match the bloody nickname of bloodthirsty, it feels like a nobleman who made a fortune.
However, Allen felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity in the smile on Arpen’s lips.
Acting pretending to be nice to people.
Of course, there is no way that the worn-out top 10 sophomores don’t know the dark inside of that guy.
The new hound of the Marquis Partalotti, who killed the conductor Arione Danzu.
The guy went through all 10 rivers and smacked his lips.
Some of them had already tasted it, and others, like Allen, hadn’t tasted it yet.
… Cute cub.
Allen laughed to herself as she looked at the pup she thought she was the best in the world.
What taste would I like to that guy?
