Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Still... Hehe! What the hell... ”

“Anyway, tell me the truth. How did you know?”

“I guessed it! The person who stole it was discovered because of our ancestors! ”

Elisha shouts in evil.

“Mmmm... ”

And Lycaen finally lowered Elisha to the ground.

“Huff, huff! Listen to what I have to say! ”

Elisha has already opened her eyes to Lycaen, poking her nose at her tears. It could look like an adult was harassing a child.

“Did you know that one of the things I gave you at the Auction House? ”

“Yes, our ancestors actually did too much behind the scenes to say they were stolen. So I looked it up, okay? ”

Seeing Elisha speaking with a fairly displeasing look on her face, even Lycaen felt a little sorry for herself.

“I apologize for a moment ago. So why do you want to buy all that stuff? You must have a lot of talent. Is there a reason you're obsessed with those things? ”

“Why? I can't say that. I have my reasons, don't I? ”

Liquenne almost died, but she didn't know what to say, so she blew her brains out. It is true that you made a mistake, but usually when you put it in front of death, it makes you squirm. However, this young woman seems to be shouting more confidently.

“Is that why you can't talk? ”

“No, let's take the story a little more seriously. ”

“Seriously?"

“Go to the villa I told you about. ”

“Good. Let's hear it for now. But if you get any wrong answers, you better remember that you could really die. What I said before is still valid. ”

“Oh, okay. Let's go.”

Chapter 7. Night's Vesper (1)

The house Elisha rented was not far from where the two of them got off the wagon.

Lavitan, the capital of the Republic of Morellia, is also known as the largest commercial city in the south.

The port used mainly by giants on the mainstream stage of the southern part of the Empire was Mubec Port on the south coast of the Republic of Morellia.

And the landing site to Muvek Harbor was right here in Ravitan. It is because this is the only city big enough to save people and prepare to cross the desert. As deserts in the southern part of the Republic grow larger, the southern cities collapse one by one.

That's why, one day, there was a lodging business in Rabitan that offered mansions to giants. Many merchants were using it because it was not very luxurious, but because many people could stay at the same time and let things go peacefully.

The house Elisha rented was one of them. It was not a bad price to think about storing a lot of workers, horses, and luggage for giants, but it was quite a crowd for individuals to borrow.

"Hmm, what the hell is she doing? ’

Knowledgeable enough to fully understand the structure and condition of a secret auction house, renting such a house and having the potential to enter a secret auction house. Plus the courage to never die, even though you're about to die.

In any way, it was not normal.

‘Hmm! I knew it……. ’

Lycaen quickly looks around and nods, opening the door to the mansion. It is because I have found strong energies in the garden that remain hidden in secret.

‘Just go in and take care of it. ’

Lycaen, who had entered the mansion, was seated directly in the reception room.

Lycaen, who thought there was no reason to stay long, immediately came to the point.

“Now tell me. ”

But Elisha smiles and tries to lead the situation to her face.

“Anyway... why don't you have a cup of tea? I'm not a naughty man who doesn't serve tea to his guests. ”

“Giving it to me in a place I don't even know is not stupid enough to accept a flounder. ”

“Hoho, let's skip the car……. ”

An impatient Lycaen glares at Elisha with a cold glare in his eyes.

“You better stop playing games. ”

But Elisha didn't back down this time, either.

“Once again, I am the owner here. Did the owner let a man in without any defenses in his house? ”

Lika never loses a word.

“If you were afraid of that, you think I'd follow you all the way to a place that could be a tiger's den? ”

“Hmph! You mean you'll never lose. Well, let's get down to business, then. ”

“Good. Explain it from the beginning. Including his relationship with Klaus. ”

“Then I'd better apologize first. It was a lie that it was related to the ancestors. ”

“What?! ”

Lycaen stares at Elisha with a weary expression. The moment she told me she was related to an ancestor, she told me just before she died. In other words, he lied in front of the spirit of life and death.

If things were the way they were, it would be right to get Elisha out of the house knowing her. But I was really curious about this strange woman.

“I'm actually from the Gronis Empire. A member of the Imperial Secret Service, to be exact. ”

Lycaen was surprised to hear that.

"Imperial Secret Service"? No way...? ’

There was something left in my memory. Lycaen quickly stumbles upon the memory that remains in her head.

“Hmmm! No need to be so surprised. ”

“The Knights of the Twilight existed? ”

“Huff!”

At that moment, Elisha's face turns startled.

“Da, how do you know that name? ”

Knights of Dusk.

The official name is Knights Vesper.

The Gronis Empire, the Imperial Secret Guard. A group wrapped in a veil whose existence has never been known to exist outside.

However, it is natural to be surprised that people who have nothing to do with the Empire know exactly who they are.

The surprise, however, was the same for Lycaen. Previously, Riccianne learned a lot from the souls of the dead, while also gaining a lot of information. That was the context of finding the location of the Kleus Dungeon, but one of the Empire's information he uncovered was the Knights of Dusk. At that time, the soul who told Lycaen the story was also unsure about the Knights of Dusk. But I'm surprised to see you in person.

However, the situation was still led by Lycaen.

“Now, what was the problem between the Emperor and the Great Kleus that dreaded Knights of Dusk came in person?" ”

Knowing that it is the Knights of Dusk, I understood her strength, courage, and the intense energy of those who hide themselves all over the house. And it was somewhat reasonable to infer Klaus' relationship with the goods that were delivered to the auction house.

Elisha speaks boldly even in a brief moment of atrophy.

“A centuries ago, an imperial treasure was stolen. I just need it. ”

“What kind of stuff? ”

“I can't tell you that much. ”

“Then how can you buy it from me? ”

“I'm going to find it myself, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

But Lycaen shakes his head.

“I never said I'd take you to my house. And I have no intention of taking her. ”

Finding the goods on your own means going to Earl Frost. It's impossible for a group like the Knights of twilight to know who they really are.

“It doesn't have to mean too much. Isn't this a deal? You have the goods we need, and we have the money to buy them at a good price. ”

Elisha leans against the back of the chair, not embarrassed at all. But inside, he was in a state of great tension.

Almost 10 million Argents in money went into this business. In addition, half the Knights of the Twilight hung for nearly two months. Even so, I didn't want to imagine that if I failed.

The money called 10 million argen was for acquiring the items from the auction, so it will be repaired somehow, but the time invested and the number of people will not be repaired. Plus, the risk of not retrieving the object.

However, I was frustrated when the opponent holding the sword sack came out so stiff.

Lycaen said with a relaxed smile.

“Trading, even in the black market, requires a certain degree of trust in each other. And how am I supposed to trust you? ”

“I swear on the Emperor's name. We just need to find it. I won't do anything else for you. ”

“So why should I take that kind of risk? ”

“Phew!”
