Hunter of the Perished World

[237] City of Deception (4)

“Go, go... ”

“Mudhabe, how can that woman...? ”

“Take him! The law of the city of the tower is to judge sinners justly.... ”

“Hey."

But Leona summoned mudave.

“Wha, what's going on? Even if you are under the protection of the Windille family, it is quite rude to treat a nobleman like this... ”

“You're freaking out because your tail is hanging loose. ”

Leona giggles, covering her mouth, and Mudave's expression blazes. Then he waved the sentence in front of his eyes.

“The rule of the city is based on Raven's delegation. So isn't it the city's policy for Raven to investigate these crimes? ”

Mudave's expression rots in front of Raven's name.

Clearly, Lajon was a hot-barry, but in reality, even a feisty nobleman couldn't show his business card.

“Should I tell Raven about this, or should I pretend nothing happened? ”

If the investigation goes well, it will turn out to be innocent, and Moudave Medici will be quite embarrassed, even if he doesn't pay for what he seems to be innocent of.

Seeing Raven's fear, he might be reprimanded for his blasphemy. The nobles of the tower were mostly those who didn't go out in the first place, and Leona knew from yesterday's experience that these troubled nobles were ‘freaks’.

He mutters as if chewing on his miserable crumpled face.

“I'll pretend it never happened. ”

“Well, I guess that's what I thought. ”

“I don't know what kind of bitch you are, but I will definitely ask you about treating nobles this way later... ”

“Oh, fuck off. Don't be silly. ”

“You bitch...! You think you can survive a nobleman like this, no matter how much they protect you? ”

He lashes out high. At the same time, Leona's eyes widen.

If it was a character that was ahead of me, I was worthy enough to swing it. It is possible to kill Leona here and hide her body.

I'm afraid that Leona, who sensed danger, would put her hand in her lap and try to pull the revolver out.

“Enough.”

The interrupting voice stops Leona and Moudave.

“Mudhabe ball. Is there a problem?"

It was Laroyn who led the guards to stop them both.

“Ah, ah... Racheng ball...”

Lajon looks at Leona with cold eyes, and she shrugs. Mudhabe

“Yi, this woman just threatened and insulted me by selling Raven's name…. ”

“I don't know about that girl. ”

Raqen cuts off Mudhabe's words and violently hijacks his right to speak.

“I know you're a valued guest of the Windell family. ”

“! ”

“I want you to leave it in my hands. ”

But it was not a recommendation, it was a toast.

It means stop making a fuss and get lost.

“Ah…. Oh, yeah. Well, goodbye... ”

Mudhabe considers it quite clear that he has taken the guards back. After Mudave's group disappears, Rachaen looks down at Leona with a cool look.

“I'm sure Mr. Shimach didn't tell you this. ”

“Quite an impressive turn of events for you, too. ”

“ ……. ”

The timing was fairly appropriate to intervene. Ratchet, ratchet and mutter, kicking his tongue.

“I'm here to report a disturbance. I tend to keep an eye on things like this.If I didn't intervene, I'd have to clean up the nobleman's corpse. When that happens, the masters question Raven's ability to do her job. ”

Ratchet, who was watching the situation, intuitively felt that Leona was about to shoot Mudave. Lajon stares at Leona, annoyed.

“Quite frankly. Windille's crest doesn't stop a bullet from flying into your head. ”

“That's my job. ”

Leona shakes her head.

“Anyway, thanks for not letting me clean up the body. ”

“Get lost. Go do your thing. I don't care if you sell my name, but don't sell Myster's name too often. ”

Rachael leaves a note and goes away with the guards. Leona notices Raqen disappearing on a Wagon, and feels that he is quite different from his first impression. Leona looked down at the man who almost woke up and the woman who was raising her father with a look on her face.

“Now that you're done, go inside. ”

Leona tried to take a step back.

“Now, wait a minute! ”

The woman calls Leona.

“Poetry, eat something and go! ”

“Hmm?"

Maybe he wants to say thank you.

Leona didn't think about it for long.

“How did he know I like it for free? ”

Leona grins as if she was waiting for it.

The bar was naturally out of business, and the woman was eager to deal with the disinfectant on her father's wounds. Fortunately, Mudave's strength was insufficient to crush a man's bones. He was bruised all over, but he didn't seem to have a bone problem.

After a simple procedure, the woman cooked in the kitchen after laying him down. Leona was able to eat the sausage and onions she had served and the fried food well, whether she was a good cook or a good cook.

The man sleeps almost like he's exhausted.

“Thank you very much. I thought my father was going to die like this... I was worried.”

The woman bursts into tears because she feels sorry for her sick father, and Leona claps her back.

“Oh, it's okay. He's not coming back. ”

“Really, really? I was scared to death. I've been coming here all week and threatening to be a slave. ”

In the end, he would have let the river fall when his speech was not communicating. Incidentally, if Leona hadn't stopped it, the man would be dead, and the woman would have been dragged into the tower and enslaved by the Medici family.

That's why she thanked Leona as if she was a lifesaver. After crying for a long time, the woman opens her eyes and asks Leona.

“Are you a nobleman? ”

Of course, she heard Mudave say Leona is not a nobleman, but seeing him running away made me think he was not.

“I'm no nobleman, but I have a high nobleman and a face. ”

Leona explained the family crest and the protective relationship that she could not understand.

“Does this happen a lot? ”

Leona sighs, telling her to get lost.

“It's not uncommon for nobles to leave a tower and take a woman or a man that they like like like like like this. And a lot of people get beaten to death by a falcon because they're against the plant. ”

“And they're still doing nothing? ”

“I have no choice but to stay still. I'm going to shoot you if you hurt a nobleman, and if you hurt him badly or if you kill him, you're going to end up in Amidyr. ”

“Amidyr? What is that? ”

“Oh, you don't know? It's the heaviest punishment in the city of the tower. ”

She looks blue and disgusted at the thought of it.

“It's feeding the parasite Amidyr. It lays eggs in the human body and spreads throughout the body as it continues to expand. ”

“So you're going to die in agony? ”

“Amidyr is not a death sentence. Even if it kills him. ”

The best punishment in the city of the tower is not death. Leona tilts her head.

“He said he felt a terrible tingling sensation when he was punished. We keep them tied up. They tie their arms and legs, and they gag them. ”

“What, itching is the best punishment? ”

“Did I not tell you that people killed by Amidyr will die? ”

“Well, whatever. Does it tickle and kill you? ”

“Parasites don't kill you. ”

Leona couldn't understand that tickling was a punishment. Of course, the woman in front of me was not affected, so I didn't know in detail.

“Kill yourself.”

Leona forgot what she said.

“They say it'll last a week or so. When it's time to eat and unwrap, he'll snap out the white tongue. ”

It just tickles.

Leona had no imagination. I didn't even notice how itchy it would be to kill a person on his own.

But that's why it was scarier. It would be such a terrible pain to have someone die just because they tickle.

“There were times when nobles would just feed Amidyr to bully people. ”

“Can I do that? You said the ultimate punishment?”

“... This is a city of nobles. If they want to, they will. And of course, that's unusual. ”

She said she had seen someone who ate amidyr. I ate the bread that the noble child gave to the beggar. It was just that.

“I saw him die. He was smiling like a madman in the square and scratching his whole body. ”

“Scratch you? ”

“It tickles.”

The woman mutters dazed, as if recalling a shocking event.

“I kept, kept scratching. She had torn her skin and broken her nails and bled out, but she kept scratching. I'm smiling, and I'm itching, and I'm screaming for death. No one could help me. I'm struggling with blood all over my body, I guess. I felt like a monster, not a person. ”

“So…. How did it go?”

“A passing hunter shot me. ”

It's not about killing, it's about resting.

“I remember everyone watching that beggar die sighing of relief. It's what everybody wanted. Somebody kill that poor guy. ”

Amidyr was punished so horribly that he hoped that even the onlookers would die.

“I heard Amidyr is a very important punishment tool, so we can't just smuggle him out. You shouldn't have that in the hands of the commoners, not the nobles. So it turns out that the nobleman gave the beggar bread while investigating people who knew him, and the nobleman's kid fed him amidil. ”

There are rules in the city of the tower after all. It turns out the nobles fed Amidyr to the beggars.

“Why is that nobleman...? You fed that to a beggar? ”

“The beggar begged. ”

“So?”

“That's all. ”

The woman laughs powerlessly. Leona falls apart.

“It was offensive that beggars begged themselves. That's all.”

Of course, the nobleman would have tried to feed amidyr smuggling at some point, and beggars were just eye-catching.

It would have been a good reason in the first place.

“Being sentenced to Amidyr is usually done in cases of noble murder or treason. However, a noble can experiment on a commoner and feed him. And the noble who fed her is forgiven for being beaten by her parents on a honeymoon in that tower. ”

“ ……. ”

“This is a place like this. ”

It's disgraceful and despicable.

For Leona, of course, the city of this tower was rich. There is no shortage of food, and chips are plentiful. You have to pay taxes, but you can't afford them.

All the land that Leona walked on was barbaric, even if it had crossed cities.

Therefore, the city of this tower belongs to a land of relatively guaranteed survival. But Leona doesn't think that surviving is the only thing that matters.

This is definitely a good place to survive.

But as miserable as it is true.

Barbarians have no identity, no rank. But desperate.

Civilizations have identities and ranks. That's why I'm miserable.

Leona realized that having a bad corner of either side is as simple as anywhere in the world.

The woman murmurs depressingly.

“Do you think she'll save us? ”

And Leona came to her senses.

“He said he had to kill all the nobles and get rid of them. That's a nice thing to say, but can you really do that? People hate nobles, but they don't like Shuhada. ”

“Well…. ”

“But now I feel that way. ”

The woman lets out a loud breath and looks at her sleeping father.

“There's definitely someone who cares about the common people and cares about our lives, like Mr. Shimach Windill. He's a good man and he deserves respect. But other than Mr. Windill, we don't know any good nobles. ”

That's why windills are respected.

“Most of us are like mudave medici who enslave the nobles, or the devils who wonder what happens when they feed their beggars amidil. ”

Leona was able to recognize the look on her face, but her anger was young.

“I don't care if it makes the world a better place. ”

“Then...? ”

“If you kill the nobles at Shudha's hands, I'll be on their side. ”

Seeing my father panting with his whole body bruised, the woman was calmly burning anger.

This is happening all the time, she said. In the city of the Tower, this is just a common misery. However, the tragedy is their own, and anger is their own.

If so,

How much dead anger is sleeping in this city. This calm anger must have been so common in the tower city that it was so common.

What happens when so many oppressed anger bursts into their first breaths?

Leona was suddenly frightened.

The woman didn't know much about Shudha. That's why Leona was unable to extract any information.

But there was also the fact that she didn't know about Shudha. After all, she's a resident of this city.

Even to the vast majority of the commoners, Shudha has not shown its existence. So I didn't know how to get in, and I didn't even know where he was.

Leona was at the tavern until she saw that the man was getting better. I was probably out of business for a few days.

[Kill the nobles and take back what is rightfully ours!]

[No one can hold us in chains!]

[We will be the masters of life!]

Leona leaves the tavern on her way back to the nest.

Leona could see those wallpapers hanging in the alleyway. There was some damage, but there was also a relatively healthy wall. Such experts looked like paintings that were bent on threats.

But Leona looked at the wall and felt a slight tingling sensation.

‘What... ’

Something's not right.

I didn't feel right about what was strange. Leona recalls a conversation she just had with a woman.

‘Nobles need to disappear...' He said... '

And then Leona realized that she didn't even ask her name. Leona walks through the alleyways, through the walls, and back out onto the main road. Leona will wait for the ghost to retrieve the information, as everything is done today.

Given enough time, it should be easy to find a clue about Shudha. I could only reach Shudhan if I followed him around with a wallpaper like this.

By the time I returned to the nest, it had already been quite a while since nightfall.

Then, Leona is able to go back to her nest and hear amazing and frightening news.

“I heard the nobles are missing. ”

It was the bartender who received the quest resolution report.

“Nobles? Who? ”

“Murabe Medici, famous scoundrel. A Missing Persons Quest just came in. ”

“! ”

Leona's eyes are wide open.

“Today was a bit much. ”

“Too much?”

Leona was aware of what that mudabe medici had done today. But the attempt failed. So I did not know what was too much.

“He shot beggars. ”

“… What? ”

Leona opens her eyes because it was unheard of.
