Chapter 761 – The Crown Dances in the Palace (2)
***
Lox Tiberius hugged his head and agonized.
He was the head of Tiberius, who was called a war merchant who called for war, and at the age of 27, he was looking beyond the mithril class. It was an unmanly appearance.
But it was good enough.
That’s because things weren’t that good.
‘Why are there so many impersonators?!’
Tiberius had many impersonators due to his unique reputation and the characteristics of being a mercenary.
The difference between a mercenary and an adventurer was whether the main stage was a battlefield or a monster’s habitat. Mercenaries also catch monsters and adventurers participate in wars, but the difference is mainly in where you prefer.
And mercenaries are fewer in number than adventurers.
Unlike adventurers, who have a guild and a guild leader, there is no such thing for mercenaries. The money was great, but the risk was great. The impersonator was a good example.
‘But this is too much!’
It’s already been heard 6 times in his ears.
If you add the undetected ones, there would be twice as many victims.
Not just one or two, but why are there so many idiots who prey on people in their name? To dismiss this as a matter of luck, Rox, who had risen from a fallen nobleman to this point, was quick-witted.
The baron who governed this province had made a move.
Despite its notoriety, Tiberius is a legitimate organization. Since I couldn’t kill them with punches as if I was wiping out bandits, I was trying to put a yoke on them before work.
‘Great. Worst of all! It makes me want to cry, but yes!’
If a mercenary had an advantage over an adventurer, it would be that he could earn a lot of money from a run and that it was easy to get acquainted with powerful people due to the nature of his involvement in war.
And Rox Tiberius is the eldest son of an aristocratic family that was ruined by a purge that took place in the past.
He thought that leading a mercenary corps would be easier to get ahead of than living as an adventurer, but why did he end up estranged from Sellustia?
‘Sellustia is an aristocrat who is rumored to be close to the imperial family… !’
There was even a rumor that the title of baron was also a position to hide one’s identity.
Like that Count Wolfheddin of Britannia, the rulers used to give competent servants low positions instead of guaranteeing sufficient benefits.
That was also Rocks’ goal in the first place.
‘Reviving a knight like the survivors of Armasunas is impossible for us brother and sister.’
I heard rumors of a young lady who had returned from a fallen aristocrat to an honorary aristocrat.
However, imitation is not worth half a penny.
An idiot who tries to imitate someone else’s success story will hang himself within a few years.
He has no interest in power or royal authority. Isn’t it enough to guarantee long-term benefits to an employer who recognizes your ability?
There were quite a few people like Rox in Romania. Unbeknownst to him, Winston and Flabus, who were heading to the same visual ruins, were in a similar position to the Rocks.
It is true that I felt sick to my stomach when I heard the success story of Count Wolfheddin, but just looking at the achievements he made by winning a human victory at a similar age made me wonder, “Is this a human?”
Imitation is not worth half a penny.
He believed that there was no choice but to work hard and lead the mercenary corps.
‘But it looks like all that effort went to waste?’
The Sellustia family.
Instead of staying away from power, those who live as the emperor’s helpers while receiving the protection of the imperial authority.
I couldn’t stand an angle with them.
If it’s normal.
‘Damn… I didn’t go over to the Senate’s proposal.’
The Tiberius mercenaries bore too much grudge.
It was Rox’s choice to take the evil, saying that notoriety is also fame, and that was the correct answer. In fact, he became famous enough to secretly contact the elder.
─I want to hire you guys, how is it?
I didn’t know who the incumbent elder was because of the thoroughly hidden tangent method.
Still, he is probably a family head-level figure. A chance to succeed that will never come again. I couldn’t miss it.
But as a result of snapping that proposal, now you have to face the emperor’s sword?
‘Ruined. What now?’
Following the contract, he collides with Sellustia.
If you close your business and bounce, you will be stamped by the elder.
It was a quandary. I feel like I’m in a trap. Rox couldn’t stand it and opened the drawer.
-Boom!
While rummaging through bottles to soothe his bitter stomach, he opened the room and saw his younger brother entering, feeling arrogant. Of course, she didn’t even flinch from her real brother’s expression.
〈… Roxy. What else is going on?〉
─Tbubk, tumble. The girl walked with dignity and knocked loudly on the desk where Rox was sitting.
Then he lowered his voice slightly.
‘There’s no need to waste time. Make contact with the elder, secure a way to retreat, and clear the ruins? Huh? Even the dogs of the imperial family will not be able to kill us openly.〉
“Doesn’t a Senator in the House of Lords have the ability to make sure that doesn’t happen?”
Of course, an elder would have the power to do so. Don’t know That’s why I’m still waiting for a call from an unknown elder.
Rocks shook his head.
‘Be a little more careful. And now you and I are commoners.〉
‘In terms of status, yes! The blood that flows through our bodies is different from ours!〉
Could it be that I was wrong in educating my brother?
Rocks repeated his daily worries today as well. In a time of stormy rage, a flower-like girl was rolling around the battlefield with men sweating without makeup. Is it okay to be nervous?
Rather than understanding his sister’s feelings for a woman, he shifted the topic elsewhere.
“Okay, gather the kids and follow them. I can’t let bad rumors circulate around me anymore. Eliminate the thieves impersonating Tiberius to clear up misunderstandings.〉
“Then why was your brother opening the bottle?”
〈… Noisy. Get ready.〉
Having driven out his sister, he took up his sword and led the mercenaries.
Roxy glared disapprovingly at her brother.
〈… The past few days, my mind has always been sold elsewhere.〉
Surely you didn’t get your nose pierced by a woman somewhere in Changgwan?
Could it be because of having to deal with mercenaries who are prone to promiscuity at a sensitive time? Roxy was conservative in her gender and, unlike the rest of the mercenaries, greatly followed her dignified brother.
In the eyes of others—even as her older brother, Rox—she didn’t look that way at all.
Roxy, who could not shake off the misunderstanding that ‘common woman = female mercenary’, made such a commitment. If my brother was possessed by an ugly woman, he would somehow break them off. ‘Ah, I’ll go! Wait!〉 Roxy grabbed her bow and arrows and mounted her horse. And when he arrived at the place where the impersonators were haunted, Roxy saw. “No, not anymore.” 〈There was a wizard, but there was none!!〉 In an improvised group whose hands and feet don’t match yet, a peerless beauty who slaughter impersonators while playing alone, and her older brother opening her mouth while looking at that beauty. 〈… Oh my gosh.〉 Rox smiled broadly, as if all his worries had disappeared. 〈… Under?〉 Roxy’s eyes grew cold in proportion to it. *** Clario Room.
The city closest to the Hittite ruins had that name. The shrine rising from the central temple was blessed by the gods, and holy water gushed out.
The blessing you receive from being submerged there is one of the specialties of the Clario Room or something.
It was like Holy Empire Romania.
The chews who keep popping out on the way.
After all, fantasy religious countries are best when they are corrupt.
‘Kids. It’s quite a feat to know what Slander is like.’
But why do you hate and fuck me, disgusting.
-Your sister’s breasts are bigger than hers.
──It’s not that I have big breasts, it’s that I have a wide chest.
By the way, the bandits were killed by the staff in a cool way after filming.
Don’t turn to me to look great, dogs.
—Rather than that, Ralilura. There are a lot of thieves in your country.
─I will. I think it’s three times as much as my circus days!
I must smell something fishy.
I twisted my head and gave up thinking. Guessing something without knowing was a waste of time. There was no harvest on the way.
“I have to go out for a while. Sleep first today.”
“Yeah? Sister alone?”
“Even after you go home, if you call her sister, she will tie you up and attack you all day long.”
My true intention is that I don’t want to go out with this face if possible.
But can it be something happened
“I guess Winston is suspicious of me. I’m so mad.”
I was in fact, but I didn’t want to see people behind it, but I fought in moderation.
“Anyway, this is why you can’t talk shit. Because all of them are weak.”
“If anyone hears it, she will know that unnie is not a person. Oh! Speaking with that face, it is persuasive♡!”
“Take off your clothes and wait. I’ll come back and beat you with a cock.”
“No matter how much I do, I have a sense of resistance to being attacked by a woman~?”
“It’s not a girl, Sifal!! I have no breasts and my cock is fine!!”
“Oh, I did.”
Anyway, I felt like I was a hatchling at a mass market that came out to have fun. What kind of fucking platinum class adventurer wants me to teach archery to someone who has no roots?
If it was a man, I would have just half killed him, but since he was a female adventurer with a genuinely half-adoring gaze, she seemed to have no black feelings, so she roughly informed me.
‘If I had to say my bow skills, I’d shoot an Azteca recurve bow that requires a lot of fucking power.’
It is an artifact bow that raises your cognitive abilities when you hold it.
I brought it because no one was using it, but I didn’t expect it to be so noticeable.
It was necessary to appeal for strength, but it was like this even after sealing all of the beast return/spear/magic skills. I guess I couldn’t hide my strength even when I played hard.
I feel like a Superman who has fallen to Earth. Being incomparable on a planet where everyone except me is an asshole, is that the standard of other world stuff?
It’s like a different world without a fucking status window. The writer doesn’t know the taste.
“Adun! Toridas’ drink!”
“Senior. Please don’t take my blanket.”
“Take a good one out of the medal and use it.”
– Blame!
I put on a bed blanket and cast an invisibility spell.
“If anything happens, call the Valkyries, and make sure to contact me as well.”
“Yes.”
“Ugh. I am good at answering.”
Peek laughs and dives out the window. Assassino Nord.
─Deckdegul. I scanned the area with my clairvoyance.
‘Winston is contacting someone.’
After all, this expedition had a back boat.
I was looking at the movement of the street with my clairvoyance, and I happened to find my deblindman, so I found it, and the timing was perfect. Odin’s eyes are so comfortable.
‘If that tangent is the result of worrying about their own safety, there’s no problem.’
But who knows? Is it our enemy to play Winston behind the scenes?
Risks need to be identified.
If you don’t want to miss it, it’s best to go directly.
“There is a shoplifter. Stop.〉
Was it like that? Preoccupied with clairvoyant examination of Winston, I was startled when someone called. A girl was staring at me on the roof of the inn.
No fuck, but you saw through my invisibility magic?
‘Is it
In an instant, power went through my whole body. As if he came out of the living room after waking up from sleep and encountered a thief, his stiff body inadvertently prepared for battle.
Did I look like I was caught doing something suspicious? The blonde girl chilled her brain. I bluntly chewed on her words and focused on her.
‘Probably not a
There is also the case of Letitia. There must be powers that I cannot detect with my own eyes.
Still, it only looked like a girl.
‘How long will you ignore me? It is an illusion if you know how to remain undetected if you stay still.〉
The blond girl untied her bow from her shoulder, apparently upset by my continued ignoring.
Of course, if she really isn’t my enemy, then I’m not the bad guy for flipping on the subject of being caught doing something suspicious. I said without letting go of my guard.
Damn, the female voice is so fucked up.
I didn’t want to answer, so I just solved the magic as instructed. Oh I felt bad because I was bitten again.
“Hide yourself and go out at night. It’s so suspicious.〉
Chewed again sorry. If I make excuses, it will be long, but I hate my voice so much.
‘But I think I saw it somewhere… Ah.’
Remembered
‘They’re the ones I saw sneakily before coming to this city?’
Apparently, a man who looked like a big man caught a glimpse of us slaughtering the bandits and led us back. Just looking at it, there was something there, so I remembered it.
‘Did the Tiberius mercenaries come for revenge?’
But the girl alone? It’s kind of weird.
– Chuck. Landed at the gymnasium of the inn. The girl glared at me and threw the letter. Shadowless wind magic. I snatched the letter that flew by.
I hate to say it, but I held back because I had to ask.
The girl who didn’t even reveal her name used her arrogance, she said hesitantly.
“I think, maybe you… 〉
〈… … 〉
… What?
‘Love at first sight?’
What do you mean fall in love? What kind of effect when does it trigger?
〈… What are you talking about?〉
Brother? So are you a male?
Why does a man fall for me?
I seem to have lost my memory. I saw that the flow of the story was not caught.
“I tell you, seize this opportunity and stop thinking about what to do to your brother.”
Understanding did not catch up, and I was forced to engage in escapism for a while, in the meantime the girl earned the right to continue to churn out her own delusions.
‘That is why I came to hand over the invitation. Are you an archer?〉
The girl connected the strings she had released to the bow.
“Duel with me. If you know how to use mana arrows, you can also pull them out for non-lethal use, right?〉
〈… Duel?〉
‘You can do whatever you want if you win against me. However, as long as you don’t give up on your brother even if you lose.〉
─Kirik. The bowstring was drawn fiercely.
Fuck the world, it’s my place.
Rattling… !!
My hands and feet trembled with humiliation and anger.
It wasn’t anger. It was horror The infinite fear to the extent that the letter addressed to me seemed to be the vision of a mimic eating people!
It was an invitation and I didn’t even bother to read it.
If I open this letter and there is a proposal or confession written on it, I will be scared like a horror game protagonist who can’t overcome fear and fires a shotgun.
〈… If I say I’m not interested, will you believe me?
… I don’t even curse.
The girl seemed a little taken aback and then said sorry.
〈… Yes. Family is important to everyone.〉
I resigned myself. Anyway, his thoughts are short-lived and he is very violent, but he doesn’t seem to be a bad kid. I also have a younger sister, and I don’t think I can stay still in this situation.
Keying-! She looked at Winston with her clairvoyance.
─Investigation, please take good care of me.
─Yes. Winston-sama, take care of yourself too.
The tangent seemed to have been parted for a while.
At that speed, it would have been impossible for me to find out and hit the scene even if I had just run. When I thought so, there was no separate anger.
‘Kill Audrey. When I return, I will absolutely kill you.’
Sorry. It’s a lie.
The target was different, but the anger increased anyway. The blood leaking out of her made the blond girl startle and distort her face. It looks like you’ve been betrayed.
〈… Do you often hear that your brother is an idiot?〉
“That, how… ! Oh, that’s it! It’s a game!〉
The girl let out a squeal and aimed her bow.
He’s definitely a personality that can be extremely hated, but why? Since I was suffering from so many fucking people, I felt like I could take care of him.
No, to the extent that she looks cute like her cousin.
‘Yes. A woman who tries to hit me is a hundred times better than a man who tries to flirt with me.’
Even more so if that girl is much weaker than me.
Isn’t that a rather good opportunity? I smiled brightly.
‘Actually, I am not interested in men. That’s why I’m more interested in you rather than your brother.〉
〈… Uh?〉
Suk…
I consciously scanned the girl’s entire body.
“So, if I win… Let’s be friends?〉
‘Wait a minute! Stop!! Cancel!! Cancel duel!! Sorry for being arrogant… Kyaaaaagh?!
Do not worry. I won’t attack a kid who doesn’t seem to be in high school.
Instead, wait a minute, join me in relieving my stress. Huh?
Hee hee!! Thishee hee!!!〉
I laughed heartily for the first time in a long time and jumped high into the night sky.
Even if I die soon, I can’t die alone.
I want you to feel the feeling of being targeted by someone of the same sex.
