Chapter 316 – Gangs of Rome (5)
〈… A bounty on a noble? Are you insane?〉
Even without my directive, Lalilura expressed her natural doubts.
Despite the cynical sarcasm befitting his acting personality, the broker giggled as he adjusted his cocktail paraphernalia.
Talking about the punishment for killing a noble would only hurt your mouth. Even an unofficial request would not be able to avoid the pursuer and the withdrawal of the law.
If the broker was also worth his life, he had to control the information or stop the mercenaries before he was dragged away for a crime like ‘accomplice in the murder of an aristocrat’.
‘Ah, I’m not saying that the bounty is unconditional killing. Well, I can’t help it if I accidentally kill it, but this is more like tagging.〉
He ran his sleeve over his meburiko and said. The laughter had disappeared at some point.
‘Did you notice? That’s right. The target is the noble of the family that disabled the lord during the civil war. Of course, he couldn’t officially visit the territory, and he must have secretly climbed over the fence.〉
Are you talking about politics here? I stuck out my tongue.
The broker stretched out his hand, as if he found it funny that the nobles were fighting behind the scenes and even got a bounty from Amhoe.
After saying that, the broker giggled again. But there was a subtle annoyance in that smile.
〈… I don’t do anything outright criminal. The conflict between the families is the relay that is closest to the crime, and the rest is mostly the adventurer’s guild.”
The broker shrugged his shoulders, as if he had no intention of hiding anything.
“This is out of my jurisdiction. So right now, I’m just giving the news and advising customers to avoid it.”
I looked at the broker in disgust and directed a few words to Lalilura. Our juniors acted diligently and asked questions as they were.
〈What’s the name of the nobleman who received the bounty?〉
〈… Originally, you have to pay a fee, but today I will serve you in the sense of taking care of my safety and your splendid debut.〉
The broker lowered his voice.
Yeah I knew it
I clicked my tongue inwardly as I remembered the archer I met yesterday.
***
With the three generations of families declaring a temporary truce, the society behind Lucregens went into a pause.
It means a lot that the three families in dispute held hands and placed a bounty. Because she sneaks in and hides her identity, and her presence poses a threat to all the mafia in town.
“Didn’t you say that the archer and the ladies-in-waiting were also brought? Could that have been a lie?”
“I guess so. If you go to see this, you might be suspicious.”
I sighed. From her point of view, she would have thought that this bastard knew what to look for.
‘But we can’t meet each other.’
And now that a bounty was put on the head of the person he met, it was foolish to wait until three days later.
If the mistress was captured before the three days had passed, there would be no porridge or food, and no matter how she avoided the chase, then they might not have the time to talk because they would feel choking on their breath.
There was a reason why we went to the promised place without waiting for three days.
“Lalilura. I’ll talk to Veronica for a minute.”
“Yes~. Will you wake me up if something happens?”
“Uh.”
I closed her eyes with the lari lura wrapped around her neck.
– Whiririk.
Rune magic invited me to the world of dreams. I entered my inner world in an instant and met Veronica, who was reading a book in a daze.
“Hmm, is the master here?”
After closing the book, Veronica stood up to greet me. I nodded her head slightly, and she laughed as if her heart was relieved.
“Looks like you’re in a situation where you need to escape urgently. Maybe it’s time to get out of this dreamy meditation.”
“Sorry. Are you tired?”
“I was worried. Since I can’t even go out alone anyway, I’d rather be less bored here.”
Veronica stroking the book Dana bought from the Wizards Guild—the one brought to her inner world with rune magic.
“Anyway, thinking about it again, it’s an interesting way to use it. You can’t imagine using the shade as a means of long-distance communication.”
“Hehe. When I first saw my wife’s face, we were able to talk since we were far away, right? That’s where I got the idea.”
Now, Veronica and I were talking in her dreams, just like when we first met in the inner world.
Veronica at the inn waits in a state of meditation or enters the inner world with a short sign sent through the application of space magic.
Then I explain the progress of things in this inner world or request 〈 space movement 〉.
It is literally a video call in a dream.
“If this is known to the public, will it be called a shade boom?”
“You mean by regular means? That’s a scary story.”
Veronica made fun of it, but her sympathy went away.
If a country wanted to communicate remotely with Shade like us, a man and a woman would have to have sex every time they hit the radio.
Depending on who the Shade opponent is, it is an extreme arrangement that goes back and forth between heaven and hell. Ugh, the head of the communication department is cheap! Byu Ru Rut.
“Don’t look stupid and tell me what you’re here for.”
“Oh, yes.”
I talked about the bounty on the Armials family. Veronica half-opened her eyes.
“Indeed. There is a great fear that a fight will break out. I get it. I must be nervous.”
“Please. If nothing happens, I’ll call you back, so wait.”
“Well. … Hey, stay strong I’m praying that you don’t get hurt.”
─ Side.
Veronica kissed me on the cheek and ran away. I smiled and withdrew from my inner world.
Just right, Lari Lura was hiding her body near her destination.
“Senior~? Unfortunately, the time to fall has come.”
“Are you sorry? Shack the reptilian.”
I switched to Yesugei mode with the rune of ᛒ (Berkanan). As much as the bitter mana was being replenished from her seal, Lalilura put her chin on my shoulder as if pouting.
“I’m not particularly fond of reptiles, am I? I like anything cute or cool, right?”
“That’s why you’re usually so full of self-love. But what are you doing now?”
“What are you doing? How do you feel when a cute junior is trying to do aegyo? It’s heung I’m mad. That’s 10 junior points right now.”
“I’m angry, but why are my scores going up? What a fucking penalty point?”
“I was happy that you complimented me subtly, so I scored 100 points, but I deducted 90 points because I didn’t speak well.”
What is the unit Is it the Zimbabwe dollar? Larry Lura tapped her chin on my shoulder like her woodpecker, then a cheeky look appeared on her face as she remembered something about her.
“Oh, senior? Come to think of it, should I change the shape of my clothes too?”
Having said that, Lalilura put her hands behind her back and pushed the hem of her robe high up toward her.
“Sleep! Hurry up, quickly~♥”
─Shake it.
The following two abbreviations that hit the wave heavily in line with the fidgeting movement. The face covered by the hood was in a pink-pink state because the transformation was canceled before anyone knew it. The smiley smile is very king.
“Don’t be fooled, turn around, you bitch. Leave it behind?”
“Che~.”
I grabbed her shoulders and turned her 180 degrees, carving the rune of ᛒ (Berkanan) on her back. The giant leather armor that was lent again so as not to get hurt has been transformed into a robe of a different shape.
Lari Lura pouted her lips before transforming into a figure resembling Tyrsi.
“I usually wear a hood inside. If you fight, rather than fighting back, take care of yourself first. Got it?”
“Yes. But don’t you know if the senior is in danger?”
She was Rari Lula, which Ling Ling, who had been carrying, was waving her No. 4 (miniaturization mode) and talking. I giggled as I handed out the masks.
“Yes? Then I’ll have to work hard so that I don’t get hurt.”
If you were an escort for a noble in the Senate, your skills would not be formidable.
If you brought it as an elite force, it is a gold class even if you set it low. If the archer’s wife is a daughter-in-law who doesn’t cause conflicts with her father-in-law, she can think of more than platinum.
We crossed a back alley full of trash and arrived at a small general store.
-Smart.
The door wasn’t open, but when I knocked, footsteps sounded.
〈Nush?〉
‘Let’s say this is the Jesus I met yesterday. I came a little early because something happened.”
‘What gay? Don’t you think I came to the wrong place?〉
‘It’s Jesus. It’s broad daylight, isn’t it time to open the door?”
‘Today is my day off, hmm. I must have forgotten because I have Alzheimer’s. Come in at once.〉
The door is open. The straight-backed old woman watched us keenly and let us in.
‘Looking at this again, you don’t know the face at all. Is there a face I know under that mask?”
I didn’t answer. Because it was Odin’s eye condition.
─Degur.
Without moving my head, I just rolled my eyes to check if there was any dangerous magic or mana flow.
‘Nothing special.’
In another world, the traps that do not borrow the power of mana are all at the level of high. It’s like a product that doesn’t use electricity on earth has poor cost performance. I didn’t see anything that would endanger me.
He turned Odin’s eyes off and showed him the seal. When the old woman confirmed it, she chuckled with a wrinkled face.
‘I understand her doubts, but it was she who invited me, whom she did not even know her face anyway. She’ll have no way of finding out if a fake or someone impersonating me comes along, no? This is a waste of time.〉
‘Huh, shameless. I didn’t hear you two were coming. The time it came was also completely arbitrary.〉
Sharp blades of life pierced the old woman. He seems to be an old craftsman who was a bit flirtatious when he was young.
I shamelessly shook my head and shook my head.
‘I don’t know what you mean. Daejin’s words are too difficult. If it is my fault, I will apologize to myself.〉
〈… Tsk.〉
The old woman clicked his tongue ferociously and opened the hidden door. A staircase appeared under the counter.
‘The only way out is here. If you’re scared, I’ll give you a chance to go back.〉
‘If I was going to care about that, I wouldn’t have come. Misunderstandings must be resolved before doubt becomes certainty.〉
She let out her stream of consciousness and went downstairs. Do the people of this world have a habit of feeling comfortable under the soil? Why do all of them dig in the ground and hide?
I grumbled and carved the rune magic into my forehead under the mask.
I raised my senses and went down with utmost care. I wouldn’t have gone this far if I was alone, but it was for the sake of Lalilura, who was following me.
─Stay gigg.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there was nothing dangerous on the way down to the cellar.
I knocked on the wooden door that was punctured in a dark gray plaster room. It was caught by the five senses that the presence felt inside moved and formed something like a formation.
‘There’s no way I’m going to hit the first bread just because the situation has changed. Are you wary of me?’
As I was making Lalilura stand aside by the door, I heard a voice from inside.
〈Jesus Gay?〉
〈… Come in and let’s talk.”
The door opened without making a sound. Inside, there was a space that would not feel cramped even if a fight broke out, and there were five passengers sitting in it.
The white-haired woman in the seat of honor said so.
She was sitting normally with her body relaxed. But is it because of Lalilura following me? The other escorts unknowingly radiated hostility that made the hairs on her skin stand up.
‘… What the fuck?’
However, I couldn’t pay much attention to the beauty’s bare face without her left ring finger, nor to the other four people who were wary of me.
Because I’ve seen that married woman who doesn’t look at all like Tirsi.
And that too, less than a month after coming to this world——before Yerna and Dana.
‘See you again in a day. This is Primor Armals.〉
The slave market where I was arrested as a smuggler and taken to.
The young lady who saw me there and smiled and passed by was waiting for me with a more mature face than four years ago.
