The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 353

59. Gowon (13)

A confrontation ensued for a while.

The subordinates were staring at Ashur with sharp energy, and Ashur was waiting for my answer with a relaxed expression.

I was pretending to be worried, but in fact, the conclusion was already decided.

This is a baby that should not be believed.

The guy who has been carrying out deadly raids in Longville and Modos has lost his request, so forget the past and ask him to hire you? I’m having trouble with my business, so now?

under. There’s a certain level of shamelessness.

Not to mention that he couldn’t believe it right away, considering his abilities and consumables for PvP, he shouldn’t have believed it in the first place. Dangerous, too dangerous.

Then the problem is how to subdue it…

I don’t remember that character’s abilities, but since he’s an arcane hunter who uses a longbow, his strength must have only taken up to the equipment requirements, and the rest was almost completely ignored by agility. Health and magic won’t matter much.

His strength would be in his mid-20s and his agility would be in his mid-30s. It’s not exact, but seeing as I leisurely let go of the surprise attack I made up my mind to, it’s certain that my agility is higher than mine – for reference, my current agility is 31 points.

Can I subdue it before using various runes and scroll magic arrows? A guy who’s quicker than me?

difficult. would be close to impossible

Either he was aiming for the moment when he was completely caught off guard, or he had to get help from the bunch.

“good.”

As I slowly lowered my sword, several people, including Fritz, distorted their faces.

“lily!”

“Do you believe that nudane bastard?”

I don’t believe you fools.

“quiet. Everyone shut up.”

Leaving behind the wheezing subordinates, I nodded to Ashur.

“Yes… I will hire you.”

“A wise choice.”

“It would be the only option.”

he laughed merrily. It was a smile full of sincerity that did not leave a gloomy first impression.

“Anyway, it looks good. Then how would you like to contract? Will you introduce me to Prince Ulkar?”

“Are you crazy? Of course you have to sign a contract with me

.”

“Whatever.”

Contrary to what he said, he looked very regretful. But I didn’t want to introduce someone as unreliable as Ashur to others.

“What is the request target?”

“What is the request?”

“okay. We’re no ordinary mercenaries, we’re bounty hunters. Call the name of the person you want to catch or kill.”

“Uh… I scratched my eyebrows at the sudden suggestion before opening my mouth.

“Avilambus Strom?”

“…Are you kidding me?”

“no? Then what about Berkard Altzenberg?”

The guy burst into laughter as if it were absurd.

“Did you not hear what I said earlier? I want to keep my business going?”

“What do you think about the subject of asking for a job?”

“No matter how much you do, you can’t touch the Elector Count of the Empire. I’ll tell you in advance just in case, but I won’t be directly involved in the war. Because that is our principle.”

not to get involved in war.

The runestone ‘Troll Princess and the Seven Warriors’ dropped by the dragon knight must have been given to him by this bastard.

My disbelief deepened, but either way, Ashur continued.

“Then make a common sense suggestion.”

“You sound like common sense.”

“I am serious now. Once you receive a request, you have to risk your life to achieve results. Black wolves value loyalty.”

This time I burst out laughing.

“Do you value trust? You’re saying such bullshit to me, a colleague of Ellen and Mungchi, and not to anyone else?”

“The cases are different. The fire witch had no client to pay for it, and the black woman had a different request as the monk disappeared. It’s not us who broke the contract.”

“Yeah, I guess…

I was thinking about how to feed him some candy, and I finally came up with a suitable name.

“Achille Lemnur.”

“…Achillem no-le? Is that your name?”

“that’s right.”

“What a strange name. What kind of guy are you?”

“What kind of guy are you?”

Black armor and helmet with long spears enveloping in steam in a magnificent body over 2 meters tall, and deep purple eyes giving off a creepy feeling…

I opened my mouth after thinking about the terrifying appearance of the Dark Knight.

“He’s the one with the ‘Book of Destiny’.”

Ashur, who had been listening with a carefree expression, narrowed his forehead.

“The Book of Destiny’?”

“okay. A forbidden book from the Palace of La Palais that Ellen was falsely accused of stealing. Originally, the spell thief Saitz had it, but it happened to be passed on to Achillemnur.”

“Interesting. Where are you?”

“Isn’t it your job to find it?”

“Yes, but the information would make things easier.”

After thinking briefly, I opened my mouth.

“We first met near Longville in early September of last year. Around October, I found a trail at Raven’s Cliff.”

“Raven’s Cliff is the giant in Modos, right? In the province of Gistol.”

“that’s right.”

“Hmm. What happened or what do you do?”

Questions followed, and I answered with a rough answer. Ashur touched his chin with a very serious expression.

“Now, that’s all I know.”

“What exactly do you want? Recovering the palace’s forbidden book? Or are you going to capture that Akhil Lemnur?”

“both. If you have to prioritize things, Achillem Nur comes first. If it doesn’t work out, I don’t care if I kill you.”

Of course, you can’t kill the Dark Knight.

“good. I guess we should start with the chase.”

The man shaking his head held out his palm toward me.

“…So what?”

“Prepayment.”

“Are you willing to take this conscienceless bastard’s money?”

“This industry says they need to get an advance payment to start working. Don’t talk nonsense, give me at least a silver coin.”

I fumbled through my pockets and flicked a coin.

“…what’s this? Aren’t you a bit picky for a knight who makes a name for himself in the kingdom?”

“I’m warning you, but stop babbling. It’s a rune stone, because it can rip your jaw out.”

At my bluff, Ashur shrugged and kept the coin in his pocket.

“Well, let’s assume that the contract has been signed for now.”

“You will have to deal with it properly.”

“of course. We are a group of professionals risking their lives.”

He said that and took a step back.

“Could you get out of here? Have you finished talking with your master?” When Ashur smiled and held out the runestone, the men spat and cursed at him to clear the way. The guy who even took the Bielle that was on the table looked back at me with his foot on the window sill.

“Oh right. I know that because I will come to get the midway gold every time I achieve a result. Instead, if you spread the word that black wolves are working for you, I’ll give you a discount.”

“Just shut up.”

“I will.”

The tattered cloak spread wide like the wings of a jackdaw, and he

soared into the night sky.

Right after Ashur left, he left and went to visit Prince Ulkar with Princess Theodora.

I didn’t want to know that I was being threatened, but I thought Ulkar should know, since the whole village could have been blown up.

“…the rune stones.”

the governor’s house. The prince was wearing only a blue quilted shirt and a thin shirt, as if he was slowly getting ready to go to sleep. The silver prosthetic hand was also removed, so the left sleeve was empty.

“I don’t know why a dangerous relic of an ancient empire ended up in the hands of a mere bounty hunter.”

“…Looking at it before, it seemed that they had quite a few scrolls and magic arrows. Of course, nothing is as dangerous as rune stones.”

“Then how can I solve the rune stones?” “yes. It’s not that you don’t have your own prowess or abilities, but you can easily subdue them if you block them from using the rune stones.”

“hmm.”

Ulkar tapped the armrest with his long fingers, then rose from his seat.

“Having such dangerous objects is a problem that cannot be overlooked.”

Approaching the table next to the armor rack, he drew a dagger from the scabbard and held it out to me.

Princess Theodora widened her eyes in place of me, who was confused after receiving the dagger. The drunkenness caused by the cherry brandy had disappeared before I knew it.

“This dagger…

“You recognize it, Theodora.”

Ulkar, sitting in a chair on the road, said in his usual tone.

Dalmais’. Lord Phoenix has it, just in case.”

When he pulled out his dagger, a blade as clear and transparent as ice was revealed.

“Uh…

this is something I’ve seen before.

It was one of the two swords that Prince Ulkar was holding when he fought against the gi in South Harbor, not the dragon. Prince Ulkar had lost his left arm holding the dagger to the Underlord.

Ulkar raised his bare sleeves.

“It was used as a secondary armament, but as you can see, it has become difficult to use since the left arm became a wolf.”

“Why do you do this to me?”

“As you might have guessed, Dalmais has a mysterious power. If you ignore the starter word, it will freeze the magical power in the vicinity.”

magic freeze. It is the best option for PvP weapons.

“The range isn’t wide, and once you use it, you have to replenish your mana for fifteen days, so it’s going to be quite tricky to use it. However, no matter how powerful the magic tools are, they can be rendered useless for a while.”

“Such a precious thing…

I like dogs. I want it so much!

Leaving behind me, whose heart was beating fast from the surging desire for materialism, Theodora, with a surprised expression, dissuaded Ulkar. “But this is…

a keepsake from

Queen Bassen .”

what? If it’s Queen Bassen.

When I looked back at myself with surprised eyes, the prince smiled.

“No matter how valuable a thing is, it has no value if it is not used properly.”

“Even so.”

“Besides, leaving it to my knight, no one else, what is there to be reluctant to do?”

No, I leave my mother’s belongings saying when she saw me… It’s terribly burdensome. But burdensome is burdensome and coveted is coveted.

“Thank you, Your Highness. I will keep it and return it after I deal with him.”

“okay. Please do so.”

As soon as I came out of the gwan’s house after receiving the dalmais, I looked back at Theodora. Her drunkenness had been blown away by several things, and only the nape of her neck was slightly red.

“I should have comforted you, but you got caught up in something strange because of me

.”

“Oh no. Never mind.”

She shook her head with her eyes wide open as if she was really okay. After thinking about it for a while, I made a suggestion.

“The dream you mentioned before.”

“…If it’s a dream, you mean ‘falling from the sky’?”

“Yes, that is it. Would you like to go now?”

“You mean right now?”

“yes.” Princess Theodora, who was looking back at the darkened sky at night, struggled with herself for a while, then bit her lower lip.

“…yes, take the lead.”

I smiled and guided Theodora, whose face hardened as if she had made a big decision.
