Marquis' Express Butler

193. Commercial City of Barista (2)

As Chris said, the ‘Red’ in Black was furious.

Recently, he was displeased by the group's successive failure of operations. However, Black, who was serving as his brother, was barely able to quench his anger after being wrongfully attacked by Dylan.

Black was like the sky to him. I couldn't believe that he lost.

Obviously, we didn't fight, but it was true that Black had retreated.

So, he couldn't pass on his men's reports now.

“What? How dare you! ”

Boom!

He slaps the table. The report startled my subordinate. Red doesn't hide such a terrible life.

“Rumors have been spreading rapidly since the targets started staying in Barista. Those rumors that are embarrassing to put on your mouth... ”

“Recite in detail! ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

The man chokes his head, swallowing his saliva. I was overwhelmed by the fact that I had to report something that I might lose my neck.

But even if he doesn't report it, Red won't forgive himself.

Eventually, the subordinate starts reporting.

“Black Dots are a weak group of pure cowards.... ”

Qajik!

In the end, Red couldn't take the anger. The bedside table next to him shatters into his hands. There was a blue error in his hand.

“Did you say Dylan? ”

“Yes……. ”

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! ”

A sudden burst of frenzied laughter rises from his seat. He was not only armed, but his eyes were no different from the warriors who stood at the forefront.

“You're talking nonsense, right? Heheh heh. It's not a good idea to chew through your flesh. Then why aren't you responding to anything? ”

He mutters nervously. That wasn't a question your man could answer.

Eventually, he leaves the barracks and moves to the location of Black.

There, Black and Purple were talking, and Red's gaze at Purple, the only woman in the organization, was not very favorable. Actually, they didn't get along very well.

And the crucial crack between the bad and the bad was this retreat.

“Can a bookkeeper devise a strategy like this? Ha, it's too easy to make a living. ”

“Red.”

Purple did not express any unpleasantness, but he had no choice but to look stiff. Black sighs.

“Please leave for a moment. ”

“Yes.”

Purple bows his head and leaves the barracks. Red stands in front of Black as she drifts to the end. Black had to feel something he had never felt before, even though he was close.

Black snatches the player when Red tries to say something. His tone was cold.

“I told you not to do anything rash. Purple is the brains of our organization. How many times do I have to repeat that people are not all powerless? ”

“But, that bitch... ”

“Red.”

The short words contained both advice and warnings at the same time. Red is forced to flinch.

“…… Sorry. But it's true you made a mistake, isn't it? I heard they caught up with us and allowed us to chase them, and that they were forced into the mainland. ”

“Everyone makes mistakes. ”

The amount of pressure mixed in with the words was enormous, so Red couldn't take it anymore. It looks like we'll have to postpone the Purple Spike.

So he turned to talk.

“By the way, are you going to sit still? There's all kinds of rumors going around. I think I need to get out there and slit his throat right now! ”

“Their cunning scheme. They're trying to get us to land. So there's no need to react. ”

“If you don't react, you'll be ridiculed as a coward again. ”

“Sometimes you have to wait. ”

Red looks incomprehensible, but Black's determination seems solid. Maybe there's another plan.

“Don't worry too much. I called Green.”

Red's face turned pale under the name 'Green’. Red knew Green better than anyone.

“Is the mission finally over? ”

“Yes. I've been told they're on their way. Green will be able to return the favor. ”

Green was the best poison expert in the Black Islands. Not only did he make the poison difficult to decipher, he was a skilled assassin who secretly applied the poison.

He was on a completely different mission, and coming back meant joining the operation.

If so, we can sigh.

We can send them to the afterlife without knowing rats or birds.

“I'll have a drink when I get back. I've prepared a good drink.... ”

“I'd better hold off on that drink. ”

Someone cuts the horse and walks into the barracks. A skilled person who can't even feel the edge.

Red, with his head turned, opens his eyes. But his mouth was smiling.

“Green!"

Green was also surrounded by a black robe, but could not conceal something that was dry and small. It was as if a younger boy was wearing clothes that did not fit.

Green steps forward to set an example for Black.

“I heard great news on the way over. According to Lord Xu, this opponent is not easy to deal with. ”

“One of the goals is causing trouble. He's stronger than I thought. He's got a head. ”

“Is this Dylan? ”

Black nods and acknowledges. Green, however, smiled and said, as if it were not a big deal.

“I thought it was pretty good when I heard they blew up the whole hideout with Caterpult. You dare to set up siege weapons around the hideout? ”

“It's not a caterpillar. ”

“Yes?”

Green is slightly startled, and Black gets up and walks slowly through the barracks.

“There was no smell of oil or sulfur. The fireball itself exploded, but there is no way to explain its explosive power. ”

“No way. Isn't it common sense to use sulfur to make explosives? ”

“He's got more than that. ”

The silence seems to have stopped. Red and Green glanced at each other, but there was no information available.

“Rumor has it that a wizard with a grudge has appeared in our family. There's a plausible story that he conspired with the Adelines to target us. ”

“Wizard…? ”

“That's ridiculous! ”

Black raises his hand to calm his men. The intervention of the Mana user was surprising, leaving its scarcity.

“That's why they say it's just a rumor. Rumor has it he's not real, so he's holding back his judgment. It could be their disruption. But the fireball that attacked the cabin is suspicious. Unless it was a ball of fire that was blown out with a catapult. ”

Black turns away for a moment. And he looked at his two men and said,

“Magic shot by someone. But this is all speculation. If there was a corrupt wizard, our surveillance would have picked up the tower's movement. But it's quiet.”

“Well, the Adelines have their faces, too, but they wouldn't hire a corrupt wizard. ”

Green speculates, and Black nods and agrees.

“Organizations that have a lot to lose don't have adventures. I'm thinking of filtering out information that a Corrupt Wizard has joined Adeline's Annex. ”

“You are wise. Now that their caravan has arrived in Barista, it would be best to take care of you first." They'll be here soon. ”

Green confidently replied, stepping forward and smiling.

“I'm a little tired from the long drive, but I'll leave today. I'll come back with some good news. ”

“Isn't it a little early for that? ”

“The better the news, the better. ”

“You should be careful. Dylan is a man with powers beyond our wildest dreams. ”

“Let's hear it.”

Green leaves the barracks, pulling out a dagger from his waist. The black liquid is dripping. He licks a little liquid with his tongue and disappears into the darkness in an instant.

The name of the operation was not smooth. I took the bait, but today I fell for it. I had no choice but to return to my quarters with Eluna.

When I came inside, Chris was reading a bunch of crumpled texts. He looked suspicious.

If I came in and didn't notice, something serious must have arrived.

“How was it?”

“Today is another empty day. ”

Arthurs shrugs as he trims his weapon on one side.

“Don't they smell that? ”

“Looks like they're waiting for the headquarters to arrive. We should be on the outskirts of Barista by tomorrow. After that, he's gonna make a play for it. ”

We have wasted a few days with no income, making our distance to the mainstream quite close. In the meantime, Confucius Hamel has sent a messenger to tell us that there is nothing wrong.

“I hear a knighthood flying by. If the Blue Dragon Knights come, I won't have much chance to act. ”

“Don't you think the title is the name of the dog next door? ”

“There's a butler I know who gets the title of Nam Jun too easily. That's why I thought it was so easy to get knighted. ”

I laughed at Arthur's nudity. In the meantime, I reached Chris. Then he looked up at me.

“What are you reading so seriously? ”

“Mustang has an urgent message. Looks like Green joined their camp. ”

“Green? Oh, that's one of the commanders you mentioned earlier. Mainly responsible for special tasks. ”

Chris nods. And I put down the letter I was reading. There was a very complicated list of words. It seemed to be a coded letter.

“He's a master of poison. It's so famous over there that it's such a compliment. A highly developed poison is like magic. Green is the Wizard of Poison. ”

“I've heard a lot about you. ”

“You're right, if you're good with poison, you can control your mind as well as your hallucinations. In fact, many factors were assassinated in his hands. ”

“What's the contingency? Do I need an antidote? ”

Chris pulls out a pocket from his arms. Soon, four small, transparent beads rolled out onto the desk.

“Antidotes. If you keep this in your mouth, the poison will be neutralized. But it's not universal, so if you suspect a poison attack, you need to hold your breath and avoid it immediately. Manana error can delay the penetration of poison into the body, so actively utilize this bead. ”

Arthurs and Elunah nod. I touched the bead. I felt Chris' Mana. It appears to be a bewitched object.

I could see how Chris's Mana circuit had recovered in a few days. Thank goodness.

“When the battle is over, me and Chris will step aside, and Arthurs will back up, and Eluna will back him up." ”

“Got it.”

“Yes.”

I thought it would be better for us as users to struggle in front of each other. Chris didn't say much about the instructions.

But then, a cheap aroma similar to mustard flavor began to irritate my nose.

Who gave you room service? ”
