Marquis' Express Butler

“Did he come from the Black Pig tribe? ”

Calmond pulls out his sword and asks.

(* Sigh *) What?

I doubted my ears for a moment. You have to understand the naming sense of these people. Let's call it a black pig. The Black Pig reminds me of Jeju.

Anyway, there was one encounter with Calmond before. Maybe you'll never forget it. He's a pretty badly hurt man. But now he didn't recognize me.

If I'd known, I would have run before I asked. The iron mask prepared was the moment when it worked.

I straightened my hands, my head twitching.

“Let's take one punch and get started. ”

“He's a chatterbox. What are you guys doing? ”

They rush in on Kalmond's orders.

I unhesitated to pull out the Mana Pistol from my waist. You set the Mana low and pull the trigger towards the nearest one.

Thung!

And the one next to him.

Tung Tung!

I can't take you as the guy behind me.

Thung!

“Grrrgh!”

“Aah!”

“Kuaak!”

All the attackers have fallen.

The bullet my Mana pistol fired hit my chest. They settle down, breathing heavily. Some fainted.

Probably the first type of pain you experience at birth. Of course, I didn't aim for their cravings with compassion.

Despite their swift movements, there was another reason for their high accuracy.

Actually, before I came here, I made some improvements to the Mana Pistol.

It was a simple principle. It has a laser pointer feature, which is the ability to inject Mana to take points on the target. Thanks to this, the accuracy reached almost 100 percent.

I knew they couldn't dodge my bullets. And, of course, it was close.

“What the hell...... is going on? What the hell are you doing? ”

“Curious?”

“ ……. ”

“Five hundred coppers, if you're wondering. ”

Calmond's expression rots. Sorry, you're an old drip. Recognition.

There's one thing I need to know before I deal with him.

I wondered why I didn't see Calmond when he was abducting Sapiella's infancy at the last festival.

As far as I'm concerned, Calmond was the acting commander of the Scorpion Army.

And you didn't join in such an important conspiracy?

Something was wrong.

“Let me ask you a question. Why didn't you show up when you were abducting the baby? ”

“What are you trying to do? ”

“I know all about it. You guys conspired with the Alcaine Merchants Guild to kidnap Sapiella. ”

At that moment, Calmond's expression turned to dirt.

He already knows what I'm good at. Even an unnamed subordinate can't defeat them all at once.

“The Black Pig sent you! He must have leaked it. Dammit! You stole the crates in the warehouse, too, right? ”

“I thought you were only good with swords, but I didn't know novels were so talented. It's none of my business whether you're a black pig or not. Just answer what I'm asking. ”

I aimed my pistol slowly.

It was an unknown weapon in this world. Of course he had to be scared.

“Why didn't you join the kidnapping? ”

“You're on your own... ”

Thung!

I shot him once with a demonstration. His hair splits open, and a hole punctures the wall right next to his head.

I was surprised when he looked back.

“Are you a wizard? ”

“Oh my god. It's not like that! If I were a wizard, would I be wasting my time in this filthy place? If it's a gumball, just answer the question. I'm a busy man. Again, why didn't you show up for the kidnapping? ”

“ ……. ”

He hesitated. Those who don't listen to him have to take care of their hands.

Thung!

This time, you fired bullets at the left wall. The wall was a little broken, not a hole. Then he started answering my questions.

“This, this was the Underboss' own plan! ”

“An independent plan? The Underboss was working alone? ”

“Yes."

My head nodded. I don't know if I'm lying or not, but I was expecting it.

“Then tell me about this Underboss. ”

He hesitates, but he doesn't have much of a choice. As soon as I pulled my gun, I started whistling.

The Underboss was a man named Congo, the second brother of his boss. He said he was a hot-headed, stupid man, but strong and skilled at martial arts, making him Underboss.

Of course, now he's deceased. I didn't have enough to kidnap Sapiella's soul, so I was tormented and split limbs.

Calmond keeps saying,

“I was against this plan. But the boss and the Underboss went through with the plan. There was nothing I could do. He was the type who pushed him to the end when he was stuck in one. ”

“So it's not your fault? The world is at ease. Hey, man. That doesn't make your sins go away. After all, you are the leader of an organization called the Scorpions. The scorpions were working with the Alcaine Merchants Guild to kidnap an infant. Do you admit it?"

“... Yes. I admit it.”

“I admire you being cool like a man. I like it! ”

At that time, when the unknown servant who was lying beside me tried to reach for my leg, I put Mana on my feet and stepped on it.

Chook Jik!

“Grrrgh!”

“Don't be a prude. Can't you see we're talking about something important here? ”

“I'm sorry! ”

“What are you sorry for? ”

“Ugh!”

Screaming is noisy. I look at Calmond, who has given me strength to my feet.

“Anyway, you can't work as scorpions anymore. Apparently there's a lot of mountain tissue I want to hear about. Are you gonna keep hiding like this? ”

“...... I don't think you care. ”

“Son of a bitch, I guess we still don't know the situation. ”

Click. I raised Mana Pistol's Mana amount to 'Prize'. Now if you get hit, you're fucked.

“I can get you all on the line and hand you over to the Adeline Knights. And I'm good at it. Then why am I stalling? Because I want to show you mercy. ”

“Mercy?”

“I'll give you a chance to make me captain. Let's live a good life again. ”

Calmond is stunned. The only remaining eye narrows sharply.

“So, you want me to be your man? ”

“Yes. It's not a second chance. I promise you wealth and power. If you'd listened to me, you wouldn't have to leave. I'm gonna stomp on every last one of them. ”

Kalmond's eyes glow. But it was brief. He expressed his skepticism.

“How do you follow a cowardly man with a mask to hide his true identity? ”

“This is for a reason, understand. ”

“I don't bow to someone weaker than me. ”

“Oh, is it that easy? ”

Eventually, Calmond picks up the sword.

I don't think so.

I will deal with you with the sword in particular. It's gonna be different. I practiced cracks. I opened Mana's circuits.

Grrr!

I draw my sword.

Instead of an old blade, Smith reveals a well-groomed, sharp blade. You inject Mana into it, and it shivers like a fish soaked in flesh.

Calmond's gaze at it at the same time shivers.

“Come user! ”

An error is a mysterious power used by knights. It is a force with lower quality than Mana. I'd say it's sub-compatible. Strong knights are often users of error and are often a basic measure of impotence.

Thank you for not asking me.

“Kneel if you know. ”

“Shut up!"

It seems like we're about to die. He runs ferociously with his sword.

Chang!

I was amazingly clean and prevented his attack.

He's getting excited. It'll be hard to deal with me even with my calm demeanor.If I'm in bad shape, I don't have to say anything.

His attack was violent, but the trail was aimless and wandering like a wandering passenger.

He speaks freshly and wields his sword again. I jumped headlong and dodged an attack.

Boom!

Shhh!

Continuous attack.

This time, I lifted my sword at an angle, thinking about what was written in the textbook.

Ching, you're in charge!

A spark rises with the sound of sharpened blades. His sword slid down on my blade.

I didn't miss the opportunity, but I pushed forward like a sword.

“Huff!”

The unbalanced man rolls the floor.

He tried to get up again, but the game is over. My sharp edges are already grabbing his neck. It's fresher than I thought.It feels like my strength has risen considerably.

“I'm not recommending it again. It's your last chance. Take your pick. Be my man. I'm much better than that ignorant, powerful underboss. ”

“…… Can you give me some time to think? ”

“No.”

Siegek smiled and I gave him a saved word for the last time.

“I told you before. I'm busy. Choose now, or I'll make it easy for you. Next to the boss and the underboss. ”

“Ugh.”

“I count 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8……. ”

“... is better than dying. I will follow you.”

“Only in words?”

The man who caught my eye knelt down and hit his head on the ground. It meant loyalty to do everything sincerely. I reaped the sword with a satisfactory smile.

I tucked him into the chair he was sitting on earlier. It's nice to see it all in one piece.

“Get up! The rest of you get up. Don't get cocky! ”

They notice each other and get up one by one. The amount of Mana consumed was low, and the Mana Pistol was not originally built to kill people. No one was seriously injured.

As his men gather around, Calmond asks as a representative.

“What is your name? ”

“Hey, you're in charge now. What are you? Don't you have a proper name? ”

“... I'd like to hear your respect. ”

“Yes, you should. ”

But I can't tell you my real name. I need to maintain the concept of mysticism as much as possible until they show me true loyalty.

I said the nickname I had in mind.

“Iron Man.”

“Iron Man. Got it. I remember.”

I tried to use the Iron Mask, but it seemed too long, so I shortened it. The awareness is much better this way. Anyway, now that the paperwork's done, let's get to work.

“Kalmond. Come closer. ”

I put my hands on my shoulders as he approaches. He seems a little surprised, so he doesn't resist much.

Don't worry, man's not my type.

○ Calmond Chocola

Rank:

Level: 38

Characteristics: Flight A, Lockpick A, Blitzkrieg B, Dagger B, Slash B,???

Status: Chaos and Suspicion

[not open]

……

Soon, I saw his status window.

I thought a friendly comment would come out of the status, but it wasn't. I sighed deeply.

As I suspected, the oath of loyalty was meant to live.

But I understand that no matter how much you lose to me, you won't be able to recognize me easily.

Then I checked the other items. Nothing much. Agility will be superior to others as it has a special facet for raiding and fleeing.

It's gonna suck to raise loyalties in the future, by the way.

“Okay, go in. Next you. Come over here. ”

Next, he pointed to a little boy.

There's only four of them, but one of them might be useful. I checked their stats with a scratch on the lottery.
