Marquis' Express Butler

“I don't think I can find the way. I feel like I'm going around the same place. ”

That's what Eluna said when she looked out the window, and I agreed.

“It's worth it. The dark side of the Royal Road is very spacious and complex. ”

The wagon had already collapsed into darkness. The wagon was driving the wagon because he cared about what I told him, but he got in the wrong way.

I opened the chest next to the side of the wagon.

There was my Mana pistol, which is my German weapon. I can't rest my peace with the bayonet I received from the duc. I equip my pistol to dance with my waist.

Elona raises her bow and arrow as she watches.

Her archery is S-rank. Besides, Elven progeny have good vision at night, so under these circumstances, I can be as relieved as I am with a pistol.

Eluna seems to have noticed my intentions.

“You'd better walk, right? ”

“You better. You don't have to hurt the horse. ”

“As expected, the Master is kind. ”

“Praise be to the situation. ”

I yelled at the wagon and made it stop. The wagon stops slowly with the sound of horse thumping.

When I got out of the wagon, the wagon choked on my elongated head.

“I'm so sorry! Sir, I think I'm losing my way because it's too dark. ”

“Shh. Quiet. It's not a good thing to raise your voice here. ”

I raised my finger and told him to be quiet, and he clammed his mouth shut. The cold sweat was flowing.

“I think it's better to just walk than drive a wagon, so keep the wagon waiting at the entrance to the area. ”

“I really don't feel sorry for you... …. ”

“Never mind. I walked when I was here before. This is far enough. Go back.”

“Yes, my lord! ”

The wagon turns its head. Eluna and I watched the wagon safely disappear from sight and began to move on.

After a while, I arrived at the place that was in my memory.

“Is this it?”

“You don't see anything? Secret entrance, something like that. ”

After explaining it, I moved to a tightly closed iron door. From the outside, I knock at the door of the warehouse, which is thought to be a rarely used warehouse.

A few moments later, a crack in the bars opens with a sharp friction.

Then two eyes appeared.

Like the man who used to come here, I took Mathis' token and put it out in front of his eyes. The two eyes narrow for a moment blink once, and the iron bars close.

Hiccup!

Then the door opens. I stepped forward and went inside. Once before, a headless man hit us.

“What happened this time? You stopped by right after the banquet. You must have been in a hurry. ”

In a word, I could see that information about my everyday clan was flowing this way. This is getting interesting.

“I'm here to buy information, not scavenge Norgarees. ”

“You're in a hurry. Come this way.”

Heghan was ahead, and I went into a dark space. Today, the mystery merchant's seat was empty, and only the crystal sphere lay on the table.

“I see you're not available. ”

“Just a moment, I'm preparing. ”

“Sure."

Chuan prepared another chair for him to sit on. We sat back and waited for the mystery merchant to show up.

“I can feel Mana. ”

Eluna, who was looking around, throws a word. Unfortunately, her Mana rank is not climbing easily. It's because the Elves' blood is so blurry.

I point to the crystal ball in front of me.

“It's probably because of that. ”

“Ah!”

Eluna recognized the value of the crystal ball at a glance. Mana can feel Mana, and she can feel magic tools. I felt Mana coming out of the crystal sphere.

By the way, it's a little strange that the old man and not Mana user are holding magic tools.

Then a trace of Mana would have to be normal, but the old man didn't really feel that much dust. It was too clean.

So it was a car that I thought was strange.

There was a question that came to mind.

“You've waited a long time. Congratulations. You've been named Baron of the Duke this time? ”

“I see the information has already come in. ”

“I'm embarrassed to call that information. ”

A mystery merchant in a black hood appears. A slight glance over the hood fills his nose and mouth with wrinkles, but strangely, he doesn't seem to think much of an old man.

If you're older, your back needs to be toasty and taller because you look like a young person.

If you hadn't worn the robe, you could look a little more closely, but that would be impossible.

It is unclear whether the voice is male or female. He had an artificial voice that concealed his original voice.

I wouldn't have thought of this if I wasn't wearing a face piece.

In this world, it is easier to hide your identity than you think. It only costs a little money. So I abandoned my prejudice against the mystery merchant.

“I heard you were getting ready to leave the Kingdom. Why are you suddenly here? ”

“There are a few things I'd like to check before I leave. ”

Then the mystery merchant looked around me. His eyes were still blindfolded, so he couldn't tell exactly where he was looking as if he was wearing sunglasses.

“Isn't that a little too bare? ”

“I'm not anywhere else. I'm Mathis' master. If you need a payment guarantee, I'll leave you with a complimentary sword I received today. ”

“Well, let's hear the story. I have a pretty good idea what kind of question that is. ”

When you think about the Mystery Conference's operation policy, there is one blind spot.

Advanced information is expensive.

In other words, if the information is rated as acute or valuable, the cost of viewing it increases.

That is, if the price is high in what I'm asking, it is very likely to happen. I was going to use this blind spot.

“I'd like to ask you about the possibility of an attack on the return of the Adeline Confederate Hamel and his beloved Sapiella. ”

“Hmm.”

The groaning mystery merchant places his hand on the crystal sphere, and his hands start to move as busy as if by magic. A spark pops up, and a mysterious view follows your hand.

But then again, it's a little strange.

A person who is neither Mana nor the user treats magic tools like that as free material? It's only normal to feel trace amounts of Mana.

Soon, a quote came out of the mouth of the mystery merchant.

“…… 300,000 gold. ”

“I see. I see. ”

As I finish my laugh, the voice of the mystery merchant lowers.

“What are you up to? ”

“It means I won't look at it because it's not right unit price. ”

“…… I think that's a lie. If the unit price is not right, it is the merchant's duty to bargain. ”

300,000 gold means the raid is planned, which means there's enough information to fill 300,000 gold pieces. Now we can return home prepared for the raid.

I looked at Eluna and asked.

“Is this information worth bargaining for even the chief? ”

“No. I don't think you should just look around. It's not a small sum of 300,000 gold, and I think you should borrow the entire mercenary army with it. ”

“Yes, that's what I thought. With 10,000 gold, you can save good people, but you don't have to pay 30 times that. ”

“Of course.”

The mystery merchant who was silently listening to our conversation laughed. But it was never a pleasant smile. That's why I turned the subject around.

“By the way, one last question. ”

“I don't think today's the day. Please go back. ”

A mystery merchant takes his hand off the crystal ball and rises from his seat. But I knew how to keep him from going back. He reaches out and raises Mana.

Phage job!

A spark has occurred inside the crystal sphere.

“What are you doing! ”

The mystery merchant was surprised.

The crystal sphere reacted to the Mana I caused. But I am different from other Mana users. Manacle in the heart spilled a cleaner Mana.

The stunned mystery merchant notices the situation too late.

“Stop, stop, stop! ”

The mystery merchant cried out, but I didn't intend to.

Phew!

In the end, the crystal ball shattered into pieces without beating my mana.

“No, baby!”

Suddenly, an army of escorts protrudes from all sides. Sharp edges came at me from everywhere.

“Stop!”

Suddenly, the mystery merchants didn't dig me up.

It's not going to happen anyway. I've already noticed there are people hiding, and I've got a powerful repetitive training machine around me.

“What the fuck is Crystal Ball trying to kill? ”

I didn't use the zone anymore. From now on, I will lead the situation.

“What the fuck? What the hell are you up to? How did you break the crystal ball? ”

“Now I hear my own voice. ”

It was the voice of a man, a very young man. It seems that old is just a shell.

I think he's got a story.

Well, who in the world has no story? I used to work as an apprentice in the Marquis of Letters, but the mystery merchants who live in this dark place will do even more than that.

“Get rid of the kids. If you want to know why I'm doing this. ”

“No! I don't know what they'll do! We need to get them in there now! ”

The bald man appears, and I turn around and speak to him with a sudden glance.

“Looks like intelligence is proportional to the number of hairs on your head. If you want to hurt your master, you've already hurt him. But we're trying to have a conversation. Can't you think because you don't have hair on your head or not? ”

“Huff... ”

The bald man with the right weaknesses could not connect the horses. Eluna smiles, wondering if it's fun.

The mystery man takes off his hood, thinking for a moment.

A face filled with wrinkles appeared. It was an ordinary old man's face, but it was a mask. Soon he took off his mask. Now I can see his real face.

“I knew it.”

My hunch was correct. I have a feeling he might not be an old man.

But there was one unexpected thing.

There was a twist on the real face.

He was a very handsome, silver-haired young man who could not be seen in the royal family. From his intelligent eyes and sturdy lips, he could see that his elegance was not ordinary.

Are they descended from nobles? Considering the times, it wouldn't have been that easy to grow up like that.

He waves his hand.

“Gather your weapons and leave. I need to talk to a guest. I don't have any visitors for a while, so I know that. I think I need a restoration. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

Everyone's out. I checked to see if there are any hiding, but there are no heat signatures.

A young man stared at me with his arms crossed.

“Now, what do you want to talk about? I'll tell you in advance, if you came here for nothing, you won't be able to go back alive. You're the first outsider to see my face. ”

“It's better to show it once than to describe a verse. ”

After saying that, I made a Demibeast. When the blue trail flew beautifully to form a law, the eyes of the mystery merchant opened.

“Magic…… buy? ”

Bloop!

Fire magic illuminates the darkened room.
