Chapter 580 – Ep.578 Tullius Empire
“Let’s see…”
I took the sharp dagger out of its scabbard and inserted it through the gap in the door, then created a pillar of fire and connected it to the dagger.
‘The hard work is worth it.’
In the past, it was possible to inject magical power by holding it to the groin without any form, but now it is possible to inject the power necessary to use the ability simply by lightly connecting the pillar of fire like this.
Uuuuuh!!
I slowly lowered the dagger, which began to vibrate gently in my hand. Then, I felt a very light touch, as if cutting paper, and the mouth of the tightly closed door opened weakly.
“What?”
‘Oh…’
A neutral voice comes from the slightly open door.
I thought there was someone guarding me, but when I heard the voice, it definitely wasn’t a man.
That’s because the owners of the androgynous voices heard here were all women.
“Manga… “There was no earthquake.”
Just as expected.
A woman in a neat suit comes out of a slightly open door.
Even though she was dressed so tightly that it looked a little tight, her chest was so big that I couldn’t fit it in the palm of my hand, so she seemed a little confident in her skills.
“The lock is fine… Hmm…”
The nameless guard probably didn’t think that the most important part had been cut off, so he just tilted his head as he checked the clasp inside her.
‘Excuse me then.’
I sheathed the dagger and succeeded in stepping on the stairs going up without touching the guard’s body.
‘The stairs are gorgeous.’
Luxurious red carpets were spread on each staircase, and the things hanging from the ceiling were not ordinary magic lights, but ultra-expensive chandeliers that I had seen once were installed at regular intervals to illuminate the darkness.
-Hey, it looks like the door is broken, so call a contractor.
“Why does a good door break?”
“Isn’t that why she kicked the door because she was bored?”
‘Oh…’
Usually, the stairs are arranged on the left and right so that you can go straight up to the next floor, but here, like a department store, you have to go through a long hallway before you get to the stairs to the next floor.
Additionally, there were other guards guarding the entrance.
“It’s annoying. “I’m coming back.”
“Bring a bottle of whiskey when you come.”
And, unintentionally, one of the guards guarding the stairs to the third floor went up.
‘I’m glad… ?’
I haven’t even looked around the second floor yet, but it felt like I would have to use a fairly cumbersome method to get to the third floor, so I quickly followed one of the guards through the gap that appeared as he went up.
-What is it, what happened?
“I don’t know. “They said the door was broken and I had to call a repair company.”
At the end of the hallway, the guard guarding the stairs leading to the fourth floor nods and puts his head in.
“Fuck, I wish I could change quickly.”
The guard with impressive short hair walked straight to the left instead of ahead and entered the room at the end of the hallway.
‘Things are starting to get a bit interesting.’
Maybe it was because I was confident that I would never be caught, but I thought this situation was quite interesting.
I unleashed my energy by tapping my thigh with the ultra-vibrating sword in my hand. And I confirmed that the surroundings were empty except for the guard who entered the room a little while ago.
Sweet.
“It’s not locked.”
At first glance, it appears to be an unremarkable room.
I opened the nearest door, went inside, and as expected, I saw a shelf full of things like drinking glasses and food utensils, and quickly closed the door and came out.
‘It’s open here too.’
The second room was where wine and other alcoholic beverages were stored.
The next room is potions and medicine.
If nothing else, I thought about sneaking a few potions, but I gave up on them because I could have folded and relocated something I hadn’t discovered yet.
Togak─ Togak─
As I was about to leave the medicine room, I stopped for a moment and listened to the sound of footsteps coming from the hallway.
-Oh, I told you to bring a bottle of whiskey.
It was not a new person, but the voice of a guard who entered the room at the end of the hallway a little while ago. After waiting a little longer and confirming that the guard had gone down, I left the medicine room and headed to the room the guard had entered a moment ago.
Slowly.
“Bingo.”
When I saw that the door wouldn’t open even when I turned the doorknob, I smiled and pulled out the dagger in my hand and tried to insert it through the crack in the door, but paused for a moment.
‘… I think I’ll start to get suspicious from here on.’
After some deliberation, I put the inserted dagger back into its scabbard and used the decomposition of holy objects to reduce it to material.
Grumbling──!!
Instead, he used the pillar of fire, which could now move freely, to force it under the crack in the door.
‘Uhm… ‘It’s a shame that we can’t share our senses.’
Although I didn’t want vision, I hoped to at least share the sense of pain, but since I couldn’t achieve it right away, I had to stick close to the door and move the pillar of fire around for a while.
Sweet.
“I might be good at something like this.”
Although it took a long time, I succeeded in turning the lock accurately and opened the locked door with ease, smiling with a small sense of accomplishment.
“And… “What is all this?”
The room itself was not spacious.
But the long desk in that small room caught my eye. To be exact, luxurious boxes that would be used to store jewelry were placed on top of it.
‘Medea Company?’
Small letters written like notes on the box.
“Viscount Rodiun… Count de Gaulle? Wow, there are nobles too.”
As I carefully read the names written on the box, one thing caught my eye that I couldn’t just ignore.
“Priest Gilena… ?”
To see if I had seen anything wrong, I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand several times and checked the writing on the box again.
‘Priest Gilena.’
But of course, the writing on the box did not change. I furrowed my brow and carefully opened the box.
‘Communication district?’
Yes.
What was inside the box was nothing else but a long-distance communication tool used to communicate.
Suspicious. That too, very much.
‘If the priest named Gilena were male, I would accept it.’
In that case, the crystal ball here can be passed off as simply for the convenience of regular or VIP customers.
‘But are there male priests?’
I decided to ask Agatha later and leave the room for now. Even if I stayed here, there wasn’t anything I could find out, and there were still many places left to explore.
Dal-kak.
Locking the door was easier than opening it.
All I had to do was wrap the fire pillar around the lock before coming out and close the door.
‘Hmm…’
Except for the locked room, the rest of the room was simply used to store supplies that could be used anywhere.
Then, I passed through the quiet hallway and arrived at the stairs leading to the 4th floor, scratching my cheek at the two guards tightly blocking the entrance.
‘This is impossible.’
If my body was small and thin, I would have tried to get in through the crotch.
Unfortunately, there was no room for even my forearm to fit through the gap where the two women were standing.
However, we can’t make a fuss to force one of them to vacate his seat.
‘Shit… ‘Why are there so many things that get in the way when I try to do it alone?’
If you could get help from your sister or other lovers, you could just go into one of the rooms you entered a little while ago, play a game, attract people, and go upstairs.
That’s because you can check what’s up there and if it’s a facility related to a cult, you can immediately notify the Sith and bring in people.
‘… ‘I’ll have to aim for the next one that goes up.’
If I sow doubt and move to another location, or get rid of something related to a cult that may be up here, I will only lose out.
So, I decided to call it a day and head back.
‘I have a rough idea of a way to go up.’
I engraved the faces of the guards guarding the stairs in my mind so I wouldn’t forget them.
If the entrance was guarded by women and not men, I thought I could do something on my own.
‘Fuck, but how do I get out?’
I looked down at the heads of the guards tightly guarding the entrance to the stairs on the second floor and sighed.
When I had time, I came up because it felt good, but when I came up and thought about it, I realized too late that there was an extreme condition that it was not allowed to cause even the slightest disturbance.
‘Who wouldn’t come this way?’
Right at that time, I was sitting on the corner of the stairs and thinking about it with my head rolling.
“Tsk, newbies can’t come to their senses.”
“Of course. “Because it’s not a place that even nobles can enter.”
“Hey, you know our faces, right? “Get out of the way quickly.”
Five guys with very familiar faces and wearing old-fashioned blue hats appeared one after another.
‘Oh…’
I stood up while looking down at the guys who were giggling among themselves and spitting harsh words at the guard guarding the stairs.
“You must show your membership card.”
“Hey, you’re always annoying me.”
“… Sorry. “Because it’s a rule.”
“Hey, stop and take out your membership card.”
They took out a silver card from their pocket and showed it to the guard.
“… “You have been confirmed.”
Two guards came down the stairs and stood at a distance.
“I like them all, but why can’t we just replace those bitches?”
“I know yeah. And do you have to use a woman?”
“I know. “Who else but crazy people would come in here?”
And our fucking members who come up in a friendly manner, spewing out stupid things without notice.
“Get ready~”
I held on tightly to the railing and wall of the stairs with both hands.
“But the new arrival… “What?!”
I just jumped up and kicked the guy standing in front of me in the stomach with both feet.
“Uh huh?!”
“Aaaaah!!”
“Ugh, wow, wow!!”
I looked down at our damn members tumbling down the stairs in a grand manner and lightly clenched one fist.
“Strike~”
The faces of the two guards were grimly distorted thanks to our members being completely devastated.
After that, I was able to leave the building safely, following the chicks who were playing on the second floor and being carried outside.
