Resurrected Immortal 117

Chapter 117 – 117. Concern Counseling

After talking with Abros, Eunhyun, who left the mansion of Duke Armitas, went straight to the office of the Artia Knights, looked at Riod, who hadn’t come out of the office, and said,

“Aren’t you at work yet?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“Well, I roughly expected that.”

There is no time to take a break in this chaos.

“Can I help you?”

“Not required. I have no intention of lending your hand to the knights’ business. Don’t you have a lot to think about personally?”

“… It doesn’t.”

From the moment the existence of the necromancer was confirmed, Eun-hyeon’s mood was very low unlike usual.
Knowing that Riod had been considerate of her, Eunhyeon smiled.

“Still, don’t talk about that topic. It’s something I really don’t want to talk about if possible.”

“Right.”

Everyone has topics that they want to avoid.
Lyod gave a small nod and continued to finish the paperwork.
There were too many items to deal with, such as remaining supplies after returning to the expedition, supplies to be replenished, adjusting the division of duties among the members of the Knights, checking the price to be paid to the adventurer’s guild.
Besides, after a few hours you have to interrogate the bandits you’ve captured as prisoners to extract information about the Warlock and the Alchemist.
The current situation is that you cannot even dream of leaving work.
Eunhyun sat down on the sofa and slumped over, burying her face in the sofa.

“… If you have nothing to do, go home and get some rest.”

“I’ll be there when I interrogate the prisoners later, so it’s convenient to wait here.”

“I won’t stop you if you do.”

“… Riod.”

“What?”

“I have a question for you.”

“Tell me.”

“…”

Despite being given permission, Eunhyeon didn’t say anything as she buried her face in the sofa.
After a short silence, Eunhyun opened her mouth again.

“This could really be rude to you, but I’m asking because you’re the only one to ask. Don’t get me wrong, listen.”

“So what?”

When I asked for an answer with a slight frown, Eunhyun finally opened her mouth.

“When you have a relationship with the Marquis, who leads?”

Pudeuk

The pen Leode was holding in her hand broke so easily, and the black ink flowed out and drenched the paper.
Despite the mountain of agendas to be dealt with, Riod had no choice but to stop working on the paperwork because Eunhyeon’s words lingered in his head.

“… What did you say?”

Hearing what he couldn’t possibly have heard from Eun-hyeon, whom he had known, Liode was now in a state of great shock.
Eunhyeon sighed and put on a troubled expression at the gaze of Riode who was glaring at her.

“I told you not to misunderstand. Didn’t you hear anything from the Marquis?”

“… Talk in detail.”

Eun-hyeon starts with Illyana confessing her feelings to her during her expedition, to the fact that it was none other than Theresia who encouraged her. Talked about

“It is true that Illyana often visited Theresia’s mansion to meet her. But she didn’t mind too much because she was having a conversation between women and she didn’t want to interrupt.”

Lyod nodded her head, as if she had guessed.

“That… Illyana learned strange things from her Marquis, and a little… No, there was a very dangerous moment. It’s rude to ask the Marquis this. It’s rude to you, but if it’s rude to both of you, I’d rather ask you.”

“Right…”

It was a story that Eunhyeon also came up with after contemplating for a long time on whether or not to ask this question.

“That… It’s a very rude expression, but when I think of the skills she taught Illyana… She didn’t look like an ordinary aristocratic woman at all…”

“I understand what you mean. Stop, stop talking.”

Riod’s action of urgently stopping Eun-hyeon’s words clearly showed agitation.

“Whoa… That is why Theresia laughed under her breath when you brought up the subject of marriage. Theresia… This is a bit of an odd case. She does a lot of bold things, but she’s never a stupid woman.”

“No, I know I’m not like that.”

In the first place, Eun-hyeon thought, ‘I ate one shot.

“There are some complicated circumstances.”

“… Let’s grab a chance later and talk over drinks.”

Eunhyeon, who read Leo De’s expression, nodded her head.

“I’m just asking, though.”

“Huh? What?”

This time, a question flew in from Riod, who had a suspicious expression on his face.

“The reason why I am here without entering the house. Is it because of Illyana?”

Eun-hyeon’s shoulders trembled at the sharp pointed out by the married man.

“…”

She participated in the expedition of the Artia Knights, and the day before her departure, her experience of being squeezed by Illyana was making Eun-hyeon want to enter her house.
Eunhyun naturally looked away without answering.

“Right.”

Liod, who read the meaning of his actions, nodded as if he understood.

“If you do that already, it will be a big deal.”

“Hey, it seems like you don’t know because you haven’t experienced it…”

“If it was Theresia who passed on her skills to Illyana, then I suffered longer than you. You are going to get married soon, so take it as advice and take it in.”

“That’s right, in marriage, you are the senior in life… Shit…”

◆ ◆ ◆

Early in the morning, two knights who came out of the interrogation room burst into rage.

“Shit! Why the hell are you not blowing!”

It was because the bandits who had been captured as prisoners on the expedition did not open their mouths as if they were weaving.
Despite the fact that the bandits were brought into the interrogation room one by one and talked to each other on their own, the bandits kept their mouths shut or simply told them to kill.
Despite being tortured, screaming and writhing in pain, the bandits all refused to testify and did not spit out information about the necromancer and the alchemist who fled.

“Damn it, if I can’t get their information and time is delayed…”

“Ah, SiX… Sounds like a real situation…”

The necromancer will continue to raid villages and must collect corpses without anyone’s restraint.
It is natural to grit your teeth when you think that a necromancer will pop up all over the place and slaughter people without being constrained by time and distance by using the space-shifting magic that the alchemist who seems to be your partner has.
Even though the damage continues, not being able to solve the damage eventually becomes an excuse for Artia to be reprimanded, and it is an obvious future that many nobles are encouraged to be bitten.

“What should I do… ?”

Torture doesn’t work, and threats and conciliation don’t work on bandits who don’t have families.
Even the expressions of those who wanted to be executed right away showed the emotion of fear, but the expression of wanting to die as soon as possible was blatantly revealed, so the members of Artia couldn’t understand their psychology at all.

“I don’t know what these bastards are so afraid of and clamoring for execution quickly.”

“In the first place, those two bastards, the necromancer and the alchemist, abandoned those bastards and ran away, right? But why don’t you turn your eyes and blow the information on those bastards? Are you saying that you are loyal to your appearance?”

It’s not because of grandiose feelings like loyalty.
There was no such thing as loyalty to bandits who lived only for sexual desire and appetite, raiding villagers, killing men and children, taking women away, and surviving day by day with plundered crops.
Then why on earth did the bandits not spread information about the two sorcerers who abandoned themselves and escaped alone?

“How is the situation?”

“Ah, everything, Captain…”

After glancing at Riod who appeared in front of the interrogation room and Eun-hyeon standing next to him, the Artia member who came out of the interrogation room broke out in sweat.
Likewise, the other member who had a troubled expression on his face while watching Riod’s notice opened his mouth.

“Wrong. He doesn’t open his mouth at all.”

“It was useless, as if it had been closed with a padlock. Nothing like torture or coaxing worked. I was just asking you to kill me quickly.”

“… As you expected.”

“I know.”

“”Ok?””

The eyes of the two members who were in charge of the interrogation were focused on Eun-hyeon, who muttered calmly in response to Riod’s words.
As if he had foreseen this situation, he looked at Eun-hyeon, who was showing a calm attitude, and put on a dumbfounded expression.

“Interrogation, can I do it?”

“Yes? Oh what…”

The member glanced at Riod and noticed, but with his arms folded, he took an attitude that he had no intention of intervening in the situation, so he nodded his head obediently and accepted Eunhyun’s request.
To be honest, I wondered what it could be called Eun-hyeon, and I didn’t think that the bandits’ mouths, which had been firmly closed until now, would be opened if they continued to interrogate them.

“You two, please bring all the other bandits and put them in the interrogation room.”

“… ?”

The two members, who did not understand Eunhyeon’s request, looked at each other and tilted their heads, but Eunhyeon had no intention of clearing up the two members’ doubts.
Naturally, I passed the two of them, grabbed the doorknob of the interrogation room, looked back and talked to the members again.

“Please.”

“Ah, I see.”

Even though they didn’t understand Eunhyun’s intentions, because Riod didn’t put any restraint on them, the members moved their bodies and headed for the prison where the bandits were imprisoned.

“Should I come in with you?”

“No, I’ll go in alone.”

“I get it.”

Eun-hyeon turned the doorknob, opened the door, and entered the interrogation room.

“What are you again?”

As Eun-hyeon entered her interrogation room, the bandit frowned at her and opened her mouth.

“Hello? She is the new interrogator.”

“… Doesn’t it look like a knight?”

“Well, that’s right.”

The bandit looked at Eun-hyeon’s appearance and laughed at the shabby appearance that did not look like an aristocrat.

“Ha, are you using something like you as an interrogation? This country is also messed up. I can be a king too.”

“You are doing too much. Even if you look like this, you tend to walk around pretty neatly.”

As for Eunhyeon’s appearance, she did not wear any of the luxuries worn by nobles, but among commoners, she was wearing clothes made with fabrics and designs that were quite good in their own way.

“There is no use in interrogation. I don’t have any information I can give you, so execute them quickly.”

“Iknow, right… So, we are in a very difficult situation right now.”

“…”

Eun-hyeon’s attitude was obviously strange, as she took a very relaxed attitude while revealing that she was in a difficult situation.

“Are you that scared? A necromancer?”

“… !”

Hearing Eunhyeon’s words, the bandit shook his shoulders and showed his agitated expression for the first time.
If there was one thing the Artia members in charge of the interrogation hadn’t properly considered, it was the situation surrounding the bandits.
Why did the bandits have to bring the corpses to the two magicians and offer them up?
Why did the bandits not give any information even though the two sorcerers betrayed them?
Why are the bandits hoping for death without giving any information?
It was very easy to resolve the doubts the members had if they were a little more conscious that the being above their heads, who was beating the bandits like dogs, was not an ordinary bandit boss, but a ‘necromancer’.
All you have to do is poke that point.

“Are you afraid? To not be able to rest even after death, to have to suffer for the rest of my life with a face that is not human, like a witch beast, or worse than a witch beast.”

“Nice… Eww…”

“Even if you blow the information and get executed, your soul will be in the hands of the necromancer because of the necromancer.”

The bandit who was stabbed to the point lost his words and unknowingly turned his head away from Eun-hyeon and avoided his gaze.

“Hey, would you like to make a deal with me?”

“… Transaction?”

“Yes! It’s a deal. I want information on the two sorcerers who betrayed you. And I will take measures so that you can enjoy a peaceful rest without being fooled by the necromancer.”

Eun-hyeon’s suggestion seemed to have the scent of a sweet fruit dripping with honey, to the extent that there was no time to ponder and ponder on what kind of person Eun-hyeon was and whether she had the authority to promise such things.
The bandit, played by the tongue of the white-silver snake that tricks people, swallows his saliva with a gulp, and starts to fall into trouble when he sees the sweet fruit in front of him.

“How are you? Doesn’t it look really delicious?”
