Hunter of the Perished World

[238] City of Deception (5)

“He's famous for being such an asshole, but it's rare for a nobleman to shoot on the side of the highway. And the Medicis aren't as powerful in the tower as they used to be. ”

It's not uncommon for nobles to kill civilians, but shooting civilians in broad daylight is insane. He did what even the mightiest of powerful men would do.

“Well, something very uncomfortable may have happened. Because the dirtiest part about him is he's in a good mood. Anyway, they're here to beg. They shot three people. In front of everyone. ”

Leona felt fluffy because she knew what it would be uncomfortable for her.

He humiliated and humiliated Mudhabe. I even heard Raven say congratulations. Muddabe couldn't be in a better mood. So I shot him in broad daylight.

I killed three beggars in public.

“But he's missing? ”

The bartender nods, using a cloth to wipe the glass.

“Yes, Raven came to me personally with a request. No one's coming back to the tower. And his entire security detail was found in an alley in the 19th Airspace with their throats cut off. Corpses‘ obedience is over. Claim your freedom. 'It was written in blood. ”

I carved a preliminary tool into the corpse. The guards were killed by Schhuddah without returning to the tower. Mudarbe has been kidnapped.

He said, "You're going to Shu 'ah, and now you're going to act. ”

The bartender picks up another glass and starts polishing it. Then I glanced at Leona.

“So what happens now? ”

“Mudave is incompetent and vile, but a nobleman first. This is the second time a noble has been kidnapped... ”

In the city of the tower, the common man doesn't matter to anyone. He's just a commoner.

In the same context, it doesn't matter how incompetent and vile Mudarbe is as well.

He is a nobleman.

Describing a person is preceded by his rank, and it is the same as nobles and peasants. The bartender glances at Leona and smiles.

“Mudhabe, unfortunately, has not met the White Horse Horseman. ”

It wasn't a secret that Leona had saved Rudrey Windill, so the bartender should have known.

Of course, unlike the bartender's speech, Moudave Medici faced a white horse riding hero today.

However, it was a different part of Rudy Windill that he was defeated and returned to the company. Even though it is a small difference, Mudhabe Medici is not aware of life and death because of that small difference.

“Well, I've dealt with every demon-possessed soul in one day. You're good enough.Do you want to be a nobleman again? I already have a lot of hunters running around for my ransom, chicken race. The eater is the owner. ”

The bartender is in charge of the quest's recipients and management, and therefore offers some pretty decent or appropriate quests to the hunters. The more searchers, the better. Hunters jump as long as they're rewarded appropriately.

Having Mudhabe Medici will give the family and Raven my compensation.

Leona ponders for a moment.

Finding Mudhabe is like finding Shudhada.

But there was no need to worry.

“No, it's annoying. ”

“I thought I'd fuck you, but I'm surprised. ”

Leona is not the kind of person who gives one more loathe bread.

Hater drops one more bullet.

“I'm the kind of guy who thinks he should die. ”

“Hahaha! Yes, it is. Human attitude.”

Not much of a hunter, but the bartender mutters, and Leona shrugs.

“People before you were hunters. ”

Leaving the bartender behind and going up to the lodge.

Hunters think.

‘Those who do not engage in the Mudarbe Medici manhunt. ’

‘And the people who were watching me, watching me. ’

‘One who fits both. ’

There is no need to dive into the search for the missing persons and find Shudha.

Leona knew the easier way was ahead of her.

It is unclear whether the Watchers are his servants or Schhuddles. That's why Leona was judging carefully.

However, Leona was favored by the rumors about the disappearance of nobles.

If you're Windhil's servant, you'll have to find Mudave.

I wouldn't look for Shudhan.

At this moment, those who monitor themselves while not participating in the search for mudave.

Hunters judge.

‘They are shy. ’

The disappearance of mudabe medici.

Possibly, in the case of Schuhada, the tower charged the bounty on two thousand chips plus three thousand chips and five thousand chips in the Medici family. The troops of the tower search everywhere, as well as the hunters rush out to the Great City.

It's natural that hunters will be fascinated by the big Five Thousand Chips. Even monster hunters were about to piss off their search for missing persons.

But Leona remained in the nest. Of course, Leona wasn't just laying a hand on Mudhabe Medici's search.

Gurmin, Leona's servant, was busy following the tracks of Mudave Medici separately. If Gurmin finds Mudave, he should be able to get a lead on Shudha.

And then...

Even after three days, Mudhabe was not found.

And Leona got a lead on the candidates.

‘There are three of you watching me. ’

‘Gardel, Gorn, Boamir. ’

Initially, there were ten candidates, but a total of three confirmed candidates were carefully determined whether their gaze was simply attention or boundary, or specific surveillance.

The three of them were secretly wandering around Leona, pretending not to, and were watching Leona's every move.

The candidates have been narrowed down, and they are very likely to be Schhuddles.

Saladin, one of the most suspicious, is out in the city to search for Mudave. It's hard to say Saladin isn't shy, but he's on hold for now.

We have a suspect in custody.

For now, Leona has instructed them to keep an eye on the Rats one by one. Though his intelligence is low, if he uses empathy in real time, he was able to feel what the rats saw and heard.

All we have to do is wait for them to make contact with Schhuddah.

And that night, Leona didn't have to leave the three of them alone.

It was because Gardel, Gorn and Boamir were all in the same place.

Knock, knock.

It was right in front of Leona's place.

Leona gets up from bed slowly, holding a revolver in her chest holster.

Duck.

Leona opens the door and looks at the three men with stiff expressions.

“What are you talking about at night? We don't sell flowers here. ”

Leona's fierce jokes reveal the faces of three hunters.

“... I didn't mean it like that. ”

“Can I talk to you for a second? ”

Leona thought about it for a moment. Although I found it first, I had to assume that something had begun beyond what they had encountered.

From now on, you have to choose, and you have to clash.

“Good.”

Leona nods.

Three hunters.

Leona may not have one, but she wasn't ready to take on all three.

They take Leona to the small council room. It was a place where hunters organized squads for group work, and, of course, most hunters vacate their nests now, leaving no one behind.

After they got close, Leona left all the bugs in the guard station behind. They weren't powerful enough to attack anyway.

“You're making me nervous to bring a girl to such a shitty place. ”

Leona smirks and says, and Gardel bursts into laughter.

“No one will believe me if I say it with a face that I'm not afraid of at all. ”

Sitting in the small council room, each of them took his pistol out of his arms and put it away on the table. Leona looks at him and asks.

“What are you doing? ”

“As you can see, we have no intention of attacking. ”

“If you show trust on our side first, you will have the slightest chance of trusting us. ”

Then they took off their coats and threw them on the table. They probably hid a knife, but they don't have any more firearms. Leona asked, showing me the revolver on the holster in her chest.

“Should I do the same? ”

“As you wish. ”

“Then I'll have it. ”

“Good.”

They didn't tell Leona to disarm just the same, and that was a bad attitude for her. They were the ones who came, but Leona asked me first.

“Are you Schhuddles? ”

“Yes.”

Perhaps, as Boamir stands for them, he said ahead.

“Why have you been sneaking up on me and then approaching me? ”

“Did you know? ”

They find themselves quite perplexed that their surveillance would never have been noticed. Obviously, they've been watching from a blind spot that Leona can't see, and they've been quite a veteran in that sense.

Their surprise was obvious because there was no way to know that Leona had third or fourth eyes.

“Well, I'll say it wasn't hard. ”

Boamir nods slowly, admiring.

“I apologize. If you know where you are, you know why we did it. ”

Leona is not exaggerated, even if she actually holds the destiny of the Burj Khalifa.

“So what do you want from me? ”

“You have already ruined one of our plans. You know that, right?”

Rudy Windille kidnapped.

Leona destroys the gambler of Schhuddah, not Bourne's. Leona frowns at Boamir's words.

“So you're asking me that sin? ”

“Then you wouldn't be able to talk to us like this now. ”

Boamir is calm, and Leona is not embarrassed, even though he said he would have killed her already.

“Things changed as you intervened. You have the potential to screw up our plans. ”

“You're talking about the entrance of the tower, right? ”

“Yes, instead of ruining our plans, you gained the trust of Shimach Windill. ”

I don't know if they were offered a search for Shudha, but it was their idea that Shimach Windill, who valued honor and payment, would have received a favor from Leona for saving her only daughter, and that was no different from the fact.

“Cooperate with us. ”

“That's an order.”

Leona stares at them as if she doesn't like them.

“The situation is imminent. With our first act of aggression annihilated, the tower's troops have been scouring the city. The collision will be visible, and the blood situation is imminent. ”

If Rudrey Windill's abduction had succeeded, we could have negotiated it as bait or anything, and we could have controlled the tower's troops at the same time.

But since Leona stepped in the middle and rescued Rudrey Windill, she lost her spleen and became a hiding place for the tower's troops.

That's why they want to use her rather than kill Leona, who ruined their plans.

“What do you want from me? ”

“Gain the trust of Shimach Windil. ”

“It doesn't teach you how, it's too much, right? ”

“There is a way. ”

Boamir points to himself.

“Sniff them out with me and me. ”

“What, what? ”

Leona couldn't hide her embarrassment.

“With the lives of three Shuhadis, you will gain the complete trust of Shimach Windill. ”

“No, no. What are you talking about? Then you guys... ”

“I'll die.”

But there were no fluctuations in the three expressions.

“I'm not going to tell you to bet your life on anything that has nothing to do with Shudha without risking ours. ”

“… when you gain the trust of Shimach Windil? ”

“Once you sue us, there will be a Master Conference to decide what to do with us. Maybe the whole city will be declared martyrdom and they'll try to overthrow the whole city to search for Shu 'ah. ”

Boamir, Gorn, and Gardel's eyes were not the eyes of a hunter.

It was the eyes of someone who was intoxicated by something. Leona feels both frightened and frightened by the strange light.

“At that time, you can kill Mister Seven. ”

“... You know it's not as easy as it sounds. ”

In an absolute state of control, breaking into the Maester Conference Room and killing seven of them was tantamount to suicide.

“Plus, how am I supposed to escape? ”

Of course, it was possible for Leona to put her mind to it, but they seemed to say it without any action.

“Each floor has an emergency escape Wingsuit machine inside the tower. It's possible to break the window and use the suit to escape. ”

“What's a Wingsuit...? ”

“Equipment designed to enable private flight. If there's a fire or collapse inside the tower, the nobles are trying to escape. We have a few items, and it's not hard to use, so if you use them for a few hours, you'll know how to escape. Of course, there must be a condition that you accept our offer. ”

Boamir further explained that vertical rises and falls are possible and glides are possible, but it was hard for Leona to understand what he was saying.

After all, if Leona started running, it wasn't that hard to run away.

“Well, there's no reason for me to accept it, anyway. ”

You risk your life, and there is no price.

“I'll give you the chip. More than you can imagine. ”

“Unfortunately, I'm not willing to give you a million chips if you have to do something that dangerous. ”

“ ……. ”

“And by the way, you don't have that kind of ability to pay. ”

Leona was looking at the three.

“Perhaps after you have killed all the nobles in the tower, you will rob the vault in the tower and pay me back. ”

The three were silent, as if they were genuine. Leona smiles in relief.

“You've been in Schhuddah long enough to forget how hunters work, but you don't take any requests from those who pay for chips you don't have yet. Then I will commission you to take Wargrave Fortress. If you succeed, I'll give you half of Fortress' chips. ”

Leona raises her arms long and spits them out.

“Would you guys take over? ”

No way.There are no hunters who take orders from people to pay for things they don't have.

“We may not cooperate in our cause. ”

Surely the three of them were ready to lay down their lives if they could infiltrate the tower. Obviously, that's a difficult decision, and it doesn't change as much as the fact that it's a great decision in any way.

However, they are willing to take that kind of risk and seize the possibility.

Leona, in contrast to her relaxed demeanor, is struggling with her whole body's nerves.

“But remember, even at this moment, you are turning your back on those who are dying for nothing. ”

In Boamir's words, Leona bursts into laughter.

“Well, it's fair. ”

“Excuse me?”

“Like they don't care if I fall in an alley or die. I'm avoiding them collapsing in the alley and dying. ”

“ ……. ”

“Did you kidnap Rudri of the Windille family, who is so passionate about giving food to beggars and saving the poor? ”

Leona glances at the three in contempt.

“Funny how you turned your back on Rudrey Windill after all. In the hands of our Schrader. Can you say that there is no justice for that behavior? ”

Leona doesn't blink, despite Boamir's criticism.

“Yes, clearly contradictory and irrational. ”

“If you admit it.... ”

“Yes, that's exactly where I'm from. ”

Leona pulls the revolver out of the holster, twisting it around her fingertips. The expression of the three hunters makes me nervous.

“Where my bullets reach. That's it.”

My name is Ozzie.

“What I did save was a kid kidnapped by an outlaw. It's not Rudrey Windill, the only daughter of Mr. Shimach Windill. I didn't kill the kidnapper to serve my sense of justice. Because I could have saved a man who could have saved me at a very cheap price, one bullet from me. What if there was my life at stake? I could have sworn I didn't. That's a big deal. ”

That's why I like to call my emotions cheap rather than just, Leona adds.

“So don't push the nonsense of self-righteousness, the liberation of this city, the stubbornness of self-righteousness, the immorality of the human race. Nothing you claim. ”

Leona says just cut it off.

“They can't be killed or saved with a gun. ”

Bullets reach reality, but not ideas.

So Leona has declared that she will not cooperate with your dangerous play of justice.
