Chapter 291 – 68. The Killing Department. (One)
Although he had a commanding expression on his back with the Ayverken court bag on his back, Rick, a lucky man, found it difficult to calm his nerves.
Top 10 Danju, Sword Emperor Magnus—-.
For the mercenaries, Geomje was a legend and an object of awe. Especially for those who use swords.
Lucky Rick had met quite a few other top 10 sophomores, but this was the first time he had met the Geomje. He is a mysterious figure shrouded in a veil who has no more external activities than Grenzo Danju, an immortal demon with a heavy buttocks.
Right in front of the entrance of the hideout of such a great person, Rick-Mercenary Corps arrived with the imperial family.
– Hwang Myung Oh!
The procession from the imperial palace shouted loudly while taking out scrolls embroidered with gorgeous gold thread.
There was a strict order under the sword system that all entry was prohibited, but Hwangmyeong had no choice. The tightly closed door opened, and Rick Danju, a lucky man, strode in with his chin lifted very proudly. The eyes of the members of the Magnus-Mercenary Corps glaring at him were more than savage and savage.
He was terrifying enough to make his flesh tremble, but at the same time he was satisfied with the play.
From then on, the voice began to ring through Lucky Rick’s skull incessantly. As expected of the continent’s strongest mercenaries, the voices of praise did not cease. Of course, it’s not that there aren’t bad things to say, but compared to the terrible people who are scattered throughout the capital, they are no different from adults.
Geomje’s hideout was very frugal compared to its name. Rick could get a sneak peek at his thoughtless thoughts there.
Rick, a lucky man, soon arrived in front of the Sword Emperor’s training room. He opened the scroll with the emperor’s name written on it again and shouted at the training room door as if he were the best in the world.
“Hwangmyeong!”
The mercenary with a black beard from sideburns, guarding the door, glared at Rick, who was lucky, and carefully opened the door.
Lucky Rick went inside proudly. Soon the door closed, and Rick witnessed the Sword Emperor sitting quietly with his eyes closed in the middle of the spacious training room.
ㅡ!
Upon seeing the Sword Emperor, Rick couldn’t put into words how he felt. … If the fire ghost Granzo felt like he would burn everything, the sword emperor Magnus felt like he was looking into a hole of unknown depth.
– He is a person who is detached from the world. He also has lingering feelings at the same time. However, he himself does not know the nature of the lingering attachment.
Lucky Rick swallowed a gulp. For some reason nothing came out.
– Go back. Nothing in the world can move him. Even if it is death.
… But Rick couldn’t go back without trying anything like this.
Soon, the closed eyes of the Sword Emperor slowly opened.
It had a warm light, but at the same time was empty. As the voice said, as if detached from the world.
“You are someone.”
Although he was an uninvited guest who had obviously come all the way here in an arrogant way, he had no complaints about Rick.
Rick had also accomplished his goal anyway, so there was no need for further delay.
“Lord Magnus… !”
Rick, a lucky man, erased the arrogant look on his face just a moment ago and collapsed on the floor as it was.
“Danju Allen and Danju Granzo asked me to meet Danju. Forgive me for not being able to do anything other than this because of the circumstances.”
“Is it.”
Even so, Danzu Magnus’ expression did not change at all.
“Yes. It was an order to deliver this directly.”
He jumped up again and politely handed a letter to the Geomje.
It was a letter from Magnus’ longtime friend Granzo Danzu. To convince him.
Geomje took out the contents and read them quietly. Then he quietly folded it again, put it in an envelope, and handed it back to Rick.
“I salute both of you for your efforts. But I can’t.”
ㅡ!
“… Why is it? Danju-nim, you know how messy the empire is.”
“I just watch. That’s why the request of the imperial palace was also rejected. … It hurts to turn down a friend’s offer, but that’s my way.”
It was a refusal without any reason.
– Magnus If it’s his friend’s personality, there’s a high chance he’ll reject it. Actually, it’s okay to refuse. It’d be better if he didn’t side with anyone. … At least convince me not to stick to the Emperor’s side! No matter what, he is burdensome.
… I had already handed this letter to Grenzo Danju as well, expecting that there was a high chance of being rejected, but he wasn’t very comfortable with being rejected for real.
“… All right. Then please promise not to block our path.”
“It is. On my honor, I promise.”
The Sword Emperor nodded his head obediently.
After all, he is the one watching. He was neither on the side of his close friends nor on the side of the imperial palace.
Frankly, he was the kind of person Rick had a hard time understanding. … That’s why, he might have realized the meaning of the sword and climbed up to that position.
The lucky one finally bowed deeply toward the sword emperor and left the training room. Of course, as soon as she stepped out the door, the appearance she had just a moment ago disappeared, and her expression changed to that of anger.
“How dare you insult the imperial palace! I will never forget this!”
The members of the imperial palace who were waiting outside the hideout collapsed as if they knew that would happen when they saw Rick come out alone.
“That bastard, isn’t he usually stubborn?”
“I have never felt so insulted! Well, one day you will get a big nose! … With what face should I look at His Excellency…”
“It’s okay. His Excellency is already anticipating everything. … To be honest, if I had been successful, I would have been more offended. I’m not the one who didn’t know the topic and pretended to be lofty. You are a coward without a name.”
… The old swordsman that you guys cursed at so much, still kept his loyalty to the imperial palace until the end. You fucking bastards… !
But lucky Rick suppressed the sound that rose to his throat and laughed meanly. And he left the place, taking the lead in talking about the sword emperor.
· · ·
The seventh birthday of the young emperor is coming soon.
Of course, it was the emperor’s birthday, but the court nobles only thought of filling their stomachs with gifts from local nobles.
In particular, the most noteworthy among them is the world-class masterpiece of Allen Danju!
Ever since Ayverken’s courtier went to the palace wearing a dazzling golden mantle, a masterpiece of the world check, other aristocrats were also eager to receive his masterpiece.
– This His Majesty’s Birthday, Allen Danju is also coming to the capital!
In the meantime, Rick, the lucky man, had been roaming around the mansions of the court nobles and had fallen off the flattery, and everyone was excited at the thought of receiving a luxury gift.
Not only that, but they are already discussing with each other how to distribute the gold and silver treasures that will come in like a mountain.
The court nobles prepared to throw a very sumptuous birthday banquet for themselves. They recruited countless cooks, musicians, and handsome men, and also hired a mercenary squad. Just in case something unpleasant happens.
Soon a large caravan from Vermandois arrived in the capital.
There were dozens of carts alone, and a huge group of mercenaries who followed as escorts numbered more than ten.
In fact, the arrival of such an armed group into the capital may be a very sensitive issue for the court aristocrats, but the court aristocrats, who had been waiting for the world check luxury goods to arrive, forgot their own situation for a moment and rather skipped the inspection and greeted them.
Charlotte Danzoo, the representative of the group, toured noble mansions with Rick Danzoo, who had been stationed in the capital in advance, in order to prevent even the slightest suspicion that might arise. Carrying a mountain of riches.
“As for the luxury goods, Danju said he would give them as gifts on the day of the banquet. Please forgive me…”
“Oh, yes! I’m very looking forward to it!”
When the court aristocrats gathered, everyone talked excitedly about it. While happily imagining what kind of luxury item you will receive.
… And, the emperor’s birthday is just a few days away.
The money ghost Allen Danju, who has been receiving the attention of nobles, has finally arrived in the capital.
Allen Danjou passed through her gates proudly with the most arrogant expression in the world. He who is trusted with all his body, of course he will be checked!
He entered the mansion specially prepared by Ayverken’s courtier and reunited with Rick, a lucky man who had been running around the capital for the first time in a while.
“You’ve worked hard, Rick Danju.”
“Danju-nim also suffered a lot.”
“Did Magnus, as expected, refuse?”
“Unfortunately, yes. You promised not to interfere.”
Also.
Money ghosts, like non-ghosts, did not view the possibility of joining the Sword Emperor as high. Because he’s that kind of person in the first place. As long as it doesn’t get in the way, I’m happy with that.
After exchanging brief greetings, the two went into a secret room that was completely cut off from the outside world. As soon as Rick Danzoo entered the room, he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Allen Danzoo.
It was a roster that Rick had been steadily writing since he came to the capital.
The slaughter department, which divided the people to kill and the ones to save, was written down.
Allen Danju laughed cruelly at the huge number of people on the list.
“You must have had a hard time with your voice.”
“Oh no, don’t talk. It wasn’t usually hard work. Finding someone to save was ten times harder than killing someone. … And the obscure ones are also categorized.”
“That’s for me to decide. Good job.”
The money ghost put the killer into his bosom.
… The underworld will probably be a bit noisy for a while.
