Chapter 318 – Gangs of Rome (7)
After I conveyed the purpose of consent.
We gave a brief self-introduction and went right into the operation.
〈The boss of the Corbona family is Matei Rossi.〉
Primor said as he unfolded the map.
Did the birds say, ‘a place with a sense of danger’?
It doesn’t seem like they just misunderstood or misinformed.
Since we are suspected of being secret agents of the Dark Society, we will not be able to entrust you with killing the boss, which is the main purpose of the operation.
It would have been easier to just give up the main dish, draw enough attention, and go to the boss later.
‘Honestly, it’s hard to imagine these people winning.’
I sighed in my heart and said.
When the operation time ended like roasting beans in a flash of lightning, Hans, who had been arguing with me, started talking to me.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the sound of a noraeng. When I answered roughly, the bastard raised blood vessels between his foreheads and offered to shake hands.
It doesn’t mean to apologize. It was because he had an expression that looked like he was about to grind a piece of bread while shaking hands.
‘What is it? I wish you well.〉
Aaaaa… !!
As I shook my hand, Hans tightened his hand as if to overpower it.
He whispered softly to me as he frowned.
The clown who listens to this makes an angry sound. I gave strength to my hand even for the pride of my junior who was in a bad mood like he was angry.
〈… Kkeuk!!〉
Hans, who was pushed back by his grip strength, endured by building a tendon in his chin, but I didn’t care about his appearance.
‘I’m not very trustworthy. If it looks dangerous, I will go to help.”
-Wack! As soon as he shook his hand, Hans, who had a grip, grabbed his arm and stumbled.
I smiled. If you’re going to fight for strength, you’ll have to graduate and come back to talk about it at least.
He glared at me and was about to say something, but he gasped at Primor’s call for him and went off.
“Two. I’m also not willing to perform in front of an old-fashioned old man who has the status of a master.”
Lalilura telepathically broke his back from the front and followed me.
Tat-!
We, wearing robes and hiding our identities so that no one could tell who was who, came out of hiding and ran right away.
A man who appeared to be a wizard tampered with a magic item, probably something to blur the impression.
The sun rose high in the sky that day, and the day was clear. The breath the group exhaled in the winter air became their breath, and they escaped.
It was fortunate that the fur clothes made with the transformation magic were warm, but it seemed to get hotter when using the Blood Magic Ball. It’s not even armor anyway, so I have to take it off.
The party’s sneaking dash ended quickly. Because the distance was close.
The base of the Corbona family was on the main street.
Although it was on the side of the entertainment district, it was a very proud building for a house of criminals. The style has a different world feel, but its height is almost like a luxury hotel in the 21st century district.
‘About the 10th floor.’
I’m going to have a hard time going up. Hiding in the shadows of nearby buildings, we took a moment to catch our breath.
But there were variables. Among Primor’s escorts, a woman who was as nimble as a thief scouted out her alley and frowned at her.
〈What do you mean?〉
As the group looked up, she pointed to the entrance.
〈The men standing at the entrance of the building over there, the Ignis family.〉
〈… I beg your pardon?〉
The bewildered Primor tried to stick her head out, but the enemy stopped her. She said, pushing her party further back.
〈It’s not just the Ignis family. You can also see the idiots dressed in Kitai traditional clothes. All three generations of the family have gathered.〉
〈… Isn’t it a trap?〉
Hans teased us. This chewy is fucking again.
I said it kindly, as if I was admonishing an asshole.
‘When did I attack you today? And use some hair. They know for sure that you guys will try to attack before the siege is reduced, so it’s not like they’re gathered in one place.〉
The wizard said tremblingly. Fortunately, I didn’t have to explain to him either. It was because the enemy of Yeodo distorted her face and replaced her words.
〈… It’s a truce between the families.〉
Primor murmured.
“They must have gathered in the name of gathering in one place to decide on a compromise. The actual situation is a cooperative posture to prevent our attack, but other forces will think that it is being discussed.〉
‘Matej Rossi has lost his head. It must have been him who proposed a truce.〉
A tongue-in-cheek wizard. As I listened to their conversation, I inferred the circumstances of Primor.
Her situation itself isn’t that important, but the information flowing out of it is important.
─Thump. Hans clicked his tongue as he tapped the wall.
“Maybe not all of them.”
I said. It was the right thing to say here, even if there were doubts.
Then Yeodo looked at me and frowned at her.
‘If I were in your position, having the bosses in one place would be considered a luxury. It’s easy to ask the church to seize and search that building if you stick some money into it and say a few words.”
The female thief had dark ears, but the wizard and Primor’s complexion changed. I can hear his head rolling from here.
‘The bribe-takers will not support the Three Generations and Chuck, but in a city this big, wouldn’t there be an innocent priest who hates the dark circles? Above all, the cause is with us.〉
Primor muttered as he was fixing the quiver.
〈… Citizens are also noticing the trends of the three generations, and they are uneasy. There must be many excuses in the church. It’s possible as long as I put up the right amount of money and my status.〉
What if the bosses of the 3 families are detained by the Church of Sagri?
It becomes easy for Primor and his men to evade the guards and get out of the city again. Darkness is to lose sight of the target with your eyes wide open.
The paladin Henry, who was speechless, opened his mouth.
“Does that mean they won’t be gathered in one place?”
“I see it that way. Perhaps a mid-boss or agent is making an agreement in Corvo or that building. The other bosses will be hiding in their bases to act when the church’s enforcers storm into that building.〉
The female knight who was beaten by me last night said.
This person seemed to get excited when it came to the lady’s work from the last time, and her loyalty seemed to be the best among the escorts.
Maybe that’s why I followed the madam’s arbitrary action last night.
‘And do the other escorts disapprove of the lady because of her hasty behavior?’
It’s a bitch.
I was heartbroken that the guys I had sought as collaborators were having a bean powder party, but I said it without showing it.
‘There is no need for the master to go personally. It’s just that some of you need to go instead. And I didn’t actually contact the church. What matters is that they think so.”
〈… I’ll check.〉
The female thief muttered that and took out reagents from her bag.
She spreads it on her floor and mumbles something. It was Narmer-Nile’s words, and the spell caused several worms to escape from a nearby rat hole.
“Hick.”
Larry Lura trembled and clung to my arm, and the same woman, but also the same woman, put the bugs on her hand.
〈… Tsk. It’s winter, so there are almost no flaws.〉
“What were you originally planning to do?”
‘She can scout through bugs. It’s a bit of a bad time right now…〉
Primor made an excuse instead. She is also a good lord in her own right. If it wasn’t for her husband that these escorts were loyal to, perhaps it would have been a better party.
〈… It’s scouting Is it impossible with those worms?〉
〈I can’t fly high this season. If it flew head-on, it would raise suspicion.〉
“If that’s the case, I might be able to help.”
Having said that, I rolled my eyes. I saw a bird sitting on a clothesline nearby.
〈… What are you doing?〉
What are you doing sick? You’re doing method acting to make it look plausible, right? Let’s try to focus.
I chanted the incantation while sealing Chidori.
─Poof.
And throw jerky.
“Gugureuk—! (Meat—!)”
─Food Duck!
I took the jerky out of my pocket and threw it, and it was caught right away and came down in front of me. Just right. This bastard, seeing as he reacts so quickly, it must be the one I fed last night.
As I gave him the jerky again, I secretly engraved the rune of ᚨ (Ansuz) on his stomach.
Primor listened to it, but since it was impossible to speak openly, one-way telepathy was sent with rune magic.
“Hey. Put bugs on your back and scout that building.”
It’s a new head… Can you hear… ? I’m talking to a brain the size of your fingernail…
“Gugureuk purreuk? (Will you give me meat?)”
A bird asking with its head twisted. I nodded.
“If successful. So, don’t peck at the bugs on your back.”
“Kukgu! (My!)”
After seeing him and Shobu, I persuaded the female thieves to put bugs on the bastard’s back and let them scout.
He seemed to be using magic to share sight with the enemy bugs, and when the reconnaissance was over, he smiled brightly.
‘Really? Except for Matei Rossi, there is no boss level, and I can only see the Takkars and the agents.〉
“Are you sure?”
‘Don’t you believe me? I’ve only had 10 years of skirmishing experience. Do you think the personal information of the family was not properly investigated?〉
‘No, I believe that. … Great. If that’s the case, if Henry and I work hard, we’ll be able to do something.〉
I had to hold back a laugh at Hans’ confidence as he bumped his fists into each other. I shook my head and asked Primor.
─Tadat.
Primor and Takari moved quietly. They’ll now shoot a rope through the window from the building next door and use it like paratroopers to break into the boss’s room.
“Should we go upstairs now? I’m going to run out of it.”
“You don’t have to. I’m going to go ahead and ask Veronica to teleport 〈 〉 to the floor directly below those humans.”
Lalilura blinked at my words before bursting into laughter.
“… Aha♡! Senior~? Didn’t you secretly apply rune magic when you crushed that person’s palm?”
“Heh. When you’re sick, your eyes go numb. You can’t climb through all 10 floors, can you?”
Having said that, I gave Lalilura a few precautions.
Surprised, Lalilura listened intently to my words and prepared to fight. I hit contact with Veronica.
Preparation is over. Then it’s a hit
As me and Lari Lura confidently approached, the mafia bastard guarding her entrance set a bloodstain around her neck.
‘Clarify who you are! What did you come to this building for!〉
〈Adult goods delivery.〉
I held out a box made with transformation magic.
The mafia guards at the entrance were caught off guard and passed out.
─Poof. The mafia receiving the package I threw. Even if anyone sees my suspicious appearance, I just receive the parcel. It feels like there is no concept of bombing in another world.
〈… Eh, it says it’s a male dildo specially ordered by the Wizards Guild?〉
‘Oh no! It can’t be! What bullshit are you talking about?
The man who looked like the Corbona family got angry and opened the contents, but couldn’t bear to open it because he thought it was a dildo that fit the real boss’s ass.
Instead, he shouted as if he was trying to take out his anger on me.
I summoned a phoenix on my right arm. The blue flames of the blood mage resonated with a roar like metal.
〈Eh Ehee Ee E -Es ── !!〉
Blood Demonic Art
Kaiser Phoenix
─Quaaang!!
Caught off guard by an approach that was too individualistic for an assailant, they were caught in an explosion and blown away. Lalilura and I quickly dug in through the gap.
The wizards who were encamped at the entrance fired their magic.
─Foobububuk!!
However, the one who ran ahead of me was my mist alter ego. Even after becoming a beehive, the clone that continued to move scattered sleeping gas as it rotated like a repulsor gun.
“Smoke in the Hole.”
Spreading the mist in a dome shape, we headed for the stairs.
