I was born as a Son of Villain

After completing the handover, Fei catches Daphne about to leave for the gate.

“Oh, before that. I want to go to that room. ”

“You mean there? ”

“Can't I do it now? ”

“No, it works. ”

Daphne was strangely uncomfortable. Fey seemed to know why he did it. Fei has also been in that room several times. It's a place I don't want to be for long.

A single door at the end of the hall next to the window. Daphne opens the door and says bluntly.

“Just finishing cleaning up, but it still smells in here. ”

The door was opened and revealed as a torture chamber, but it was not strange to think of it as a room. The walls, ceilings, and floors were black. There was a bright back on the ceiling, so I couldn't help noticing things, but I felt a bit reluctant to look around. There was a smell of blood in the room. Smells like human blood, but with a different scent.

This was the place to price the horses that had been transported to the Horse Tower. Bloody or decommissioned horses come and go every day and smell completely off.

“I've been here a few times, but it's not such a pleasant place. Do you directly price the water? ”

“I calculate that they are below grade 3 according to the prescribed manual, but you have to bring other people a higher grade of horseshoe. ”

“The ones who make potions? ”

“Haha. Most of the potions you use in this tower come from other towers. Most of you here study water itself, or make artifacts out of dead water. Ah, scrolling is pretty much done here. ”

“So, does Daphne study, too? ”

Daphne nods.

“So you can see the number in the manual, and you can tell how much this is. I spend my days on break and my free time studying. ”

“I see.”

Fei glanced around the room. It wasn't an emotional room. Nothing out of the ordinary.

“Do you know something? ”

Daphne bites. Fey shakes his head.

“I don't know, but who's feeling anything higher than Grade 3? ”

“La Lucia herself. ”

“La Lucia? ”

It was a name I had never heard before. Fei has little time in the Keep itself, so he has not been as enlightened about the situation inside the Keep. I thought about going back and forth between the mountain and the fortress to gain experience and find clues to get over the wall, so I didn't think about listening until I got back inside the fort.

How did you know we had to investigate against the insiders?

“You are the supreme authority of the Horseman here in the Tower. He's been studying only drinking water his whole life. ”

“Is there anyone else who does this besides Him? ”

“That can't be happening. At least I haven't seen it. ”

Daphne denies strongly.

“He's passionate about the mathematics. If you're in the lab and you get a first-class horse, you're the one who comes running away from everything. If he gives the job to someone else, it will be when La Lucha is not here. ”

“Hmm... I see. I think I've seen it all. Now I'd like you to show me around the warehouse. ”

“I understand.

Leaving the tower, Fei and Daphne walk into a corner of the keep. The warehouse was there.

Pei thought as he walked.

‘La Lucia. ’

By the way, he is the most powerful person. The first person to discover and investigate the corpse of a beast. If that person plucks the Seed of Darkness from the corpse, no matter who comes to investigate, nothing will come out.

The side effects of pulling the Seed of Darkness from the corpse were visible only from the seven skull dragons. In order to observe a similar phenomenon, horseshoes of similar magnitude will have to appear again.

The two arrived at the warehouse.

The warehouse was huge and smelled of blood. Faye, who was accustomed to bloodshed, frowned upon the stench of the blood of the repulsive water.

Faye was the first one to come to the warehouse.

Likewise, Daphne grips her nose to explain whether her nose smells nasty or not.

“Since there is so much slaughtering magic blood, this scent cannot be erased. If you sell it butchered, I don't know.”

“Quite a few people slaughter and bring it back, aren't they? ”

According to Fei, there were quite a few people who slaughtered horses and carried them around.

“The slaughter has separated the major organs and ripped off the leather. And the organs vary depending on the specifics of the water, and this is a problem that sometimes people who are good at making mistakes. Do you think that's all you get? If you put a Class 7 horse corpse in or slaughter a Class 9 horse organ, you get more money, and then you turn it into bread.......”

Daphne complained about scammers who insist on mixing different parts of the water to make it expensive as a new species, or installing them to come and sell punctured organs or skulls that no one else needs.

He scratches the back of his head as if he was spilling his anger all by himself.

“I don't know if this is too much to talk about. ”

“No, it helped. ”

I definitely learned that there is also a way to cheat.

“Instead of complaining in the warehouse, I'd like you to give me a proper explanation. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Daphne answered willingly.

The warehouse was just a slaughterhouse. The classified meat was hanging from a large hook, and slaughterers with large knives were sticking together to remove the meat.

“They're not ordinary people either. who have been in the family business for generations, specializing only in the meat of corn. You probably know more about magic than you do about wizards. ”

The skewed bones and meat were selected by type, and the fresh organs went straight to the refrigerator.

Fei paused and looked at it, saying.

“Where is he? ”

“Let's go inside. ”

Daphne takes Pei inside the slaughterhouse. A seemingly unusual black steel door appears.

“In case of theft, the inside of this room is made of real steel. It's got multiple defenses inside. ”

Daphne knocks on the iron door, and the answer comes back from inside.

“What is it?”

“I've brought you a hunter. He wants to see the body. ”

“Wait a minute. ”

The heavy iron door opens lightly without a sound. Fei went inside with Daphne.

Inside lies the corpse of a beast.

“The number of lions"? ”

There was a synthetic number that was not easily seen, Chimera lay down. The corpse was large enough to give the impression that it was filled with quite a large room.

“Rare. ”

A strong, anti-white man approaches Fei and says. My eyes were intense and I felt no tingling. Unlike his figure, he was a wizard.

The man reaches out to Fei.

“I'm La Lucia. You're not the inspiration of Alec... are you a famous spirit nowadays? ”

“I'm Pesam. ”

“So, what happened to the young hunter? Do hunters hunt dead horses? ”

“I see dead horses. May I take a look? ”

“I see.”

With La Lucia's permission, Fei examines the lion's body. The number of lions found, reported, and distinguishing are simple. Every chimera in which another creature is synthesized in the body of a lion is a lion. As long as the body of a lion with strong power and vitality does not intermingle with useless parts, a fairly powerful magic spell is born. So the body of the lion is being evaluated as the condition of the number of lions.

According to Fei's memory, both Manticore and Griphon are one type of lion. The classification is even more detailed because the water source is real.

Belle tells Fei as soon as she touches the lion's hide.

- Boom, no. Just as I expected.

Someone has already pulled out the Seed of Darkness. Belle's words are not finished.

- There's a very faint trace of it. Seeds and souls were deeply connected. Probably similar to a seven or two dragon?

- And if you pull it out, you leave a trail?

Fei never heard of it.

- Seeds are sown in the soul? If you pick a sprout, you won't have any traces, but if you pick it up when you grow up, it will leave some traces of digging, right? I erased it at the time of the Seven Dragons. I did good, right?

- Yeah, good job.

Fei praised Bell. It's good to leave no trace in any way. And I realized it right after.

La Lucia said with a grimace.

“During the investigation, I noticed a peculiar trace. I was going to tell the duc myself, but as important a hunter should know. ”

“What is it?”

“Like HYDRA the other day, his inner spirit collapsed and his insides became empty. But there's a weird trail between them. I'll dissect it, but there might be a clue. ”

La Lucia said it was fun.

Fei knows at least one. Whoever handles the Seed of Darkness is less skilled than Belle. You are not skilled enough or skilled enough to pull out the sprouts and cover the soil.

“That's not helpful information right now. ”

“That, too. I'm going to start slaughtering. Will you look at it? ”

La Lucia herself was involved in the slaughter as she was carrying the tools on the wall.

“That's enough.”

Fei politely declined the offer. I've checked everything.

La Lucha, considered the most likely suspect, may not be the culprit. If he is the culprit, he can't prove himself wrong. You erased the trace, and you're looking for a complete crime.

‘It may be a deliberate move to get off the Dragon Ship....... but that's too far. ’

Alec, a skilled hunter, has not been able to sense anything since the birth of the duc, but it is too exciting for La Lucia to do this alone. I don't want to raise my suspicions completely, but I think we can wait and see.

Pei left the factory with Daphne.

“Did you help? ”

“Yes, it helped a lot. ”

In terms of reducing the likelihood of a prime suspect. But on the contrary, a high-profile suspect disappears, and the search for the killer returns to its origins.

Phew. Fei had his appetite. I want to know where to start looking. I've come up with a few ways. It's all a hassle running through my body.

‘Should I go into the mountains? ’

If the unsub is an insider, it is highly likely that he has set up an external residence to plant the Seed of Darkness in the water. Seeing that the concentration of the acid is thinning, he must have even made a soul-gathering device. Trying to find it makes it easier to search.

On the way back, Fei asks Daphne.

“What do you think of Daphne? ”

“I'm frustrated that there's nothing to come out of. They say the military is coming, but we don't know how long this is going to last. ”

“Does that mean I need to get stronger? I'll give it my all.”

“That's not what I meant. Haha.”

Daphne grins awkwardly.

The two arrive at the front of the tower.

“That's been very helpful. ”

“Glad to hear it. Please let me know if you need any help. ”

After saying goodbye, the two of them turned to each other. Fei's face distorted. I drew a crooked can smile.

- He's very bold. Isn't that right?

The bell next to Fei grins and grins.

- I didn't know you were gonna provoke me like that.

Faye had the same idea. I just thought I'd find him. I never thought he'd get to me first. I'm telling you, the world is at stake.

‘There's nothing to come out of. ’

There's something I need to show you. Something has to come out.

Who told you that?
