Return of the Frozen Player 626
Pandemonium achievement (5)
After returning to the lord’s castle, Monchi headed straight to Viscount Astor’s room to report.
Even as he walked down the aisle at a brisk pace, he kept thinking.
‘If I do something wrong, Viscount Astor may become suspicious of me.’
He hadn’t left the lord’s castle since last night, but he didn’t have anything that could be called an alibi.
After lunch, I was only at the gymnasium.
That was the problem.
‘It’s a situation that can be sufficiently suspicious.’
He thought he had built up a fairly plausible trust with Viscount Astor, but there were too many magic stones that had disappeared.
It was an amount comparable to a year’s worth of taxes in a few small and medium-sized cities.
‘First of all, proving my innocence is the priority.’
To be honest, it’s okay if I can’t catch the culprit, so I think it would be nice if my comfort was fine.
After adjusting his breathing, Monchi knocked on the viscount’s door.
smart.
“Viscount, this is Monchi.”
-come in.
Monchi, who went inside at the sound of voices coming from the room, was nervous.
I look out the window with a wine glass in one hand
Because I could see the back of Viscount Astor looking up.
Monchi, who had been serving him for quite some time, knew what that meant.
‘He’s in serious trouble.’
Instinctively, he gulped and froze.
A stillness lingered around the room, making it uncomfortable even to let out a small breath.
sniffling.
Viscount Astol taking a sip of wine
opened this mouth
“Monch. How long have you been working for me?”
“It is 12 years. Viscount.”
Monchi replied coldly.
“12 years… … Hee hee, it already happened.”
The viscount nodded and slowly turned around.
“I heard the situation. Someone imitated you and stole the magic crystal?”
“yes. I was very taken aback.”
Monchi is a crystal ball brought from the field
I put both of them down on my desk.
“This is a video of the perpetrator at the time of the incident. Let’s check it out.”
“Hmm.”
Viscount Astor put down his wine glass and came over to watch the video.
“Surely just like you. The face, the shape of the body, even the voice.”
“I am so innocent! Viscount.”
Monchi’s expression and voice were full of resentment.
He spoke nonstop.
“If you doubt me, what kind
I’ll take an inspection of . You can invite the dream demons to look into the depths of my dreams.”
Viscount Astor, who stared at Monchi for a moment, shook his head.
“Well, how long have we been together, so they would doubt you. More than anything, you’re not worthy enough to commit such a bold thing and act shamelessly in front of me.”
“No, that’s right.”
It was a strangely bad evaluation, but it was much better than being suspicious.
all.
“But the most certain thing is that you will catch the culprit yourself. Isn’t it?”
“Please leave it to me. I will do everything I can to find the culprit who imitated me.”
“Then it would be great. Because I also don’t want to get rid of my old subordinate.”
Viscount Astor spat out meaningful words and gently shook the wine glass.
“Once the entry and exit of the city was completely controlled, I wouldn’t have been able to go outside.
Take it.”
“It’s a rat in a dock.”
“Put a bounty and search private houses and commercial districts first.”
“All right. Ah, then what about the top of the canel?”
Viscount Astor had subordinates attached to the Canel Merchant, which had hired thousands of demons.
Because the size was enough to be a threat.
“Hands off. It hasn’t been two days since you left the castle anyway.”
“But if they even get into trouble with other cities, we can’t get caught up in the conflict… …
“I told you to get your hands off it. Even so, they are ragtag people who were hired with money. Above all, sleep.”
Viscount Astor’s reprimanding gaze turned to him.
“Is it that easy?”
“… … sorry.”
Monchi swallowed a gulp and bent his waist 90 degrees.
The viscount was right.
The most important thing to me right now is to catch the criminal so that I can gain 100% of his trust.
That guy is the worst thief who can imitate everything of his opponent… … .
‘ wait.’
Was there anyone who went to the vault manager before he did?
How did the viscount know that the criminal had imitated him?
Monchi asked cautiously at the frightening imagination that passed through his head.
“Viscount.”
” Something.”
“Then what should I do with the Servier mine? Like I said last time, should I take ownership at a higher cost?”
momentary silence.
The moment Monchi, with his hands behind his back in an alert posture, carefully tries to raise Magi.
Viscount Astor frowned and said.
“What are you talking about? That part is already the right to develop Lake Renzas.
Did you forget that you agreed to rent it for 20 years in exchange for a gift?”
“No, that’s right.”
“You are not the same these days. Don’t forget that I’m watching you.”
“… … I will keep that in mind.”
After leaving the room, Monchi felt a cold sweat running down his back and blamed himself.
‘Stupid, what the hell did you imagine?’
If the culprit was stronger than Viscount Astor in the first place, wouldn’t it be necessary to go back like this?
Just kill them all and become the new lord.
‘I just lost more points because I was thinking about it.’
In the first place, if it was Viscount Astor, there would be eyes and ears everywhere in this city.
Monch hastened his steps.
In order to capture the heart of the owner who is about to leave again, the culprit must be caught as soon as possible.
Seo Jun-ho stared at the door for a while even after Monchi left the room.
Intuition spoke.
– It went as planned.
“Whoa. thank god.”
It was dangerous.
However, in the end, it was his own victory because he achieved everything he wanted.
– It’s easier to erase the possibility in the beginning than to get suspicious later and things get tangled.
“Did you even give me an excuse for that?”
With this, Monchi will no longer doubt himself.
In the first place, if you think about it a little, you’d think that the culprit couldn’t be stronger than Viscount Astol.
Furthermore, since he had read Astor’s memories, he had no intention of getting caught.
-I’m one step closer with this. partner.
“yes.”
Just one step forward.
That was the step to reach Lavie, the lord of the East.
– But is it really possible?
“Is it possible.”
Now holding on to the memories of Viscount Astor.
It was no exaggeration to say that all the history and geographic information of the East was in my hands.
“Ten days later, the day of repayment.”
Viscount Astor, who had a lot of doubts, always offered the magic crystal directly to her.
That will be your chance.
“But before that, there are issues that need to be dealt with.”
Seo Jun-ho went to the window where the wine glasses were placed.
After a while. Only the afternoon breeze swayed the curtains.
An endless procession continued in the dry and crumbly wilderness.
the most splendid and largest
In the carriage was Canel.
‘shit. Why is it twisted like this?’
Glancing out the window, he couldn’t hide his anxious expression.
Because there were a lot more people with the procession than expected.
“hey! Is there anyone?”
“Did you call?”
Kanel asked the mercenary who rode a hellhorse and approached the window.
“What the hell are those things following us down that ridge? Is it thief?”
“Ah, I don’t think you need to worry about them.”
The ignorant mercenary grinned and replied.
“We were also concerned about it, so we secretly pressed them, but they say that they are following us because of their achievements in the demon realm.”
“… … Eh, is it a feat in the demon realm?”
Kanel forced himself to hide his trembling voice.
“It is said that such rumors spread far and wide. It seems that the demonic achievement is actually a member of the Liberation Army, and is aiming for this ascendant to trade slaves.”
“Pandemic achievements belong to the Liberation Army? What nonsense is that… …
“Well, that’s what the rumors are all about. But if it’s true, they’re following me around like a leech just to report it.”
“… … i get it.”
Canel, who closed the window roughly, buried herself in the soft backrest and sobbed silently.
‘Damn it, damn it! The merchant’s tip is a dog’s horn!’
He was also a gambler who risked his life by collaborating with the demonic feat.
If you succeed, you can achieve exhilarating revenge, but if you fail, everything, including your life, will be lost.
‘I don’t regret life or money, but… …
The important thing was whether he could take revenge or not.
However, looking back at them, it seems that they will not be able to take proper revenge.
“How many of them are there?”
More than 3,100 people were led by him alone.
Thousands of people like seungnyang who came after hearing rumors there.
‘In sum… … Five thousand is enough?’
I know that demon world achievement is strong. Is that why you decided to follow him?
Wasn’t he the man who killed Count Gorgon, the ruler of the South?
‘But even more than 5,000 Demons can handle it… … Is there?’
gender grade.
The demons did the inaction of the counts to that extent.
know as
However, there were only rumors about how strong the annihilation grade demons were.
‘No matter how strong one is, fighting 5,000 demons… …
I don’t have a good imagination.
While complicated thoughts cluttered Kanel’s head.
The mercenaries who started at the head of the procession approached.
“Canel Upper State. Is it really okay to go this route? In front of me is a vortex zone.”
A vortex was a kind of natural phenomenon that could be rarely seen throughout the Pandemonium.
A region that is still being studied because many scholars of the demon realm have not been able to find the cause of its occurrence.
It was a place characterized by the swirling and moving demons in the air like crazy.
‘He told me to go in there.’
Lead thousands of demons and enter the vortex zone.
That was the requirement of the Demon Realm achievement.
After thinking for a while, Kanel closed his eyes and opened his mouth.
“Come in. It takes too much time and materials to go back.”
“… … I see.”
The mercenary didn’t seem to like it very much, but he went back to his place without saying anything.
It must have been because the judgment followed that it was not that dangerous since the number of people was the number of people.
“after “
The die is cast.
* * *
“When you enter the vortex, you start by reporting the number of people. Got it?”
– yes.
The Simba Crew was one of the largest armed groups in Cologio.
It was a crew made up of only top rankers even in the notorious arena.
For them, this visit had a deep meaning.
‘If you do it right, there’s no reason to risk your life and walk into the arena.’
‘After pulling the money properly… … I’ll have to kill the easy lord of the frontier and play the role of captain.’
‘hmm. Why don’t you use that money to buy all the magic stones and try to advance to the center?’
Each had a different meaning, but one was the same.
That’s what this move has to be successful.
The crew’s captain, Simba, was at the forefront of the top.
‘It’s also a vortex zone. It’s the first time I’ve come in, but I can’t see an inch ahead as rumored.’
Intense magic frenziedly flies between the sky and the ground, scattering the senses.
Simba, who swallowed a gulp, lifted the communication crystal orb.
“Start watching.”
— W.. That…
“Tsk.”
I did, but still.
The Communication Orb is a demon that runs amok.
It did not work normally in the region.
He raised his voice towards the back.
“Getting out of the vortex can take at most five hours! Only looking forward, I am Jinhae!”
“yes!”
There are a lot of people, so there is nothing to be afraid of even in the vortex zone.
Even the strong magic beasts didn’t come close to me.
“hmm.”
Sim felt an unknown reluctance
Bar pushed the feeling away and moved on.
And when about 5,000 demons completely entered the vortex zone.
One person followed them into the vortex zone.
