Marquis' Express Butler

I didn't follow the convoy.

The second one refused any foreign encounters because he was in the middle of a coma. I don't have to move my stuff until I reveal my identity.

Instead, I sat on my room couch at Mathis' headquarters and looked down at the magic beads.

After a long time, I decided it was time to give the crystal sphere a powerful mana.

Phage job!

The sparks scatter like the wind, then they start pointing in one direction.

Behind the couch.

To be precise, it meant that if you go straight to where Spark is pointing, you will get a wagon.

“All we have to do now is bring word that Calmond has handed over the goods. ”

I spent some time drinking the wine Eluna brought me.

Eluna also offered me a drink buddy to keep me from getting bored. Her face was slightly lit up, and she was quite charming.

“After today, the succession will be narrowed down to Confucius Kaien and Confucius Hamel. ”

“It will be. The only thing that's encouraging is that Confucius Hamel's strength is rising. Compared to that, the Kaian Confucius has no finesse. ”

“Still, the first layer of support will be solid. ”

“That's right. But I won't be able to easily take care of any of them as long as I'm on Prince Hamel's side." We're just going to walk the flower path. ”

Like inviting a princess from the royal district to the Adeline to do a reconnaissance.

If that were the case, it would be a good way to overcome the current obstacle.

There are many other strategies.

If ballpoint pens and fountain pen are produced at the production site in Ture, we plan to supply supplies to all areas except Astria.

Do you think it ends with a pen and a fountain pen?

No, you're welcome.

I will make various convenient items for the convenience of life like a factory, and the living standards of the kingdom will improve greatly.

I plan to commercialize the adhesives Spinel is developing, as well as other high-end paper or soap products, to help improve hygiene and living standards.

If that happens, the current messy side will be completely new.

Cultural power is sometimes stronger than a sword.

Astria will eventually become relatively vulnerable to newspapers. If we don't get the stuff out of here, we'll be left in the dark.

If we put the gold in front of them and make an economic penetration, we'll be left with no choice but to be humiliated.

Rather, there was more to do with this place than I used to be.

“I hope everything you do goes well. ”

“Let's make it happen. Do your best."

Just as you knock, the door opens and Calmond reveals himself. Seeing that you've returned safely, it looks like you've completed your mission.

“What about the goods?”

“They've all been handed over to the Prague Confucius. There was no big problem on the way back and forth. ”

“But what's wrong with your face? ”

“Ha, guys. I looked very closely to find it offensive. I looked through the list one by one, though there was nothing missing. I can't say, I just watched. ”

“I see. Well done. I don't want to get involved. All we have to do is give them what they need. ”

It's the only way. With the ‘Holy Grail of Diablos’, Prince Prague seems to be trying to gather the magical ingredients properly and perform some kind of ritual.

Calmond tilts his head.

“What the hell is he doing? by gathering such rare materials. ”

“Maybe he's trying to make up a pill. You said your second son was very sick. Anyway, what's the schedule after? ”

“You mean me? ”

“Yes."

“I'm going to practice as soon as I'm done working today. Ah, perfect timing. If you don't mind, could you look at your posture for a long time? ”

I shaken my head with a smile.

“It's an attractive offer, but next time. I have a place to go for a while. Tell him not to wait, he's not coming back today. ”

“I understand.”

“Well done, then. ”

I put deep pressure on the hood across the robe, covering my face, and then left Mattis' headquarters. On your way out, you take off your mask and return to Dylan.

I didn't notice anything about going back and forth between the Mathis buildings. Dylan has already taken the position of advisor to Mathis.

“Enough ammunition. The sword is fine. All you have to do is go. ”

I stubbed my hands and inspected the equipment, but I was busy moving my feet to the cemetery.

Exactly in the direction the bead is pointing.

* * *

“Heh-heh-heh.”

A grim laugh echoes through the cave.

It was a very secret space, with a light bending magical field spread out and completely invisible from the outside.

The altar stands in the middle.

It was an altar lined with large stones. There are candles all over the place, and there's a dark sorcerer in every corner, so anyone can see the altar.

Above the enchantment, there was a lot of red blood that you did not recognize.

And there was a man standing around wearing a black black robe.

I took off my hood, so I could see who it was. He was a very young man. He was Prague's Confederate. Earlier, the grim laughter belonged to Prince Prague.

“You've finally gathered all the ingredients. This will allow you to summon the Devil Diablo. ”

Prague said the continent was as majestic as a unified king. The Black Robes, who appear to be a group following him, cheer.

“Hail!"

“The Devil's power is finally in my body! ”

“I will gladly be sacrificed! Oh, the Great Mountains! Come quickly!”

I was just putting my mind to it as a group.

Confucius Prague picked up the "Holy Grail of Diablos" on one side. It's empty inside. A quick peek inside, he mutters quietly.

“The cup is empty. I'm gonna need some fresh blood. ”

“Please wait. I'll do it.”

The Black Priest steps back and drags someone from the secret chamber. She was a very young girl who was covered in scars.

“Help me! Help me! Yikes!”

“Come quietly! Your blood will be a noble sacrifice and it will be on the tablets. Be honored!”

“Nielsen. Take care of it. A girl who will be our precious offering, and yet you can't bless her? ”

“I'm sorry. Prah.”

Prague approaches the girl and quietly sweeps her tear-stained cheeks.

“What's your name? ”

Confucius Prague asked for a name, but coming back was the first response on a girl's day.

“Tsk!”

“ ……. ”

The girl spits on Prince Prague's face. Confucius Prague took his handkerchief out of his arms and wiped his cheeks.

“You're a tough kid. Hang in there. The pain isn't that long. You'll be able to open your eyes again in a nice place where milk and honey flow instead of hell. ”

“Go away! Mommy! Mommy! Help me!"

Prince Prague smiles backwards, and the man with the dagger steps forward.

The girl looks at the fucking blade and screams. However, no matter how busy I was, I couldn't escape the hands of a man who was already under dark magic.

“Let go of me! Let go!”

“Well, aren't you a good boy? Stay calm so you don't get hurt. ”

“Huff...! ”

When the cold blade hit the skin, the girl was no longer able to struggle. My eyes turned into flashlights and my whole body trembled like a grove.

Like a deer surrounded by predators.

I can't just watch that pathetic look anymore.

“Stop moving. ”

I walk out from behind the rock and stand tall.

“ ……! ”

“Intruder? No way! ”

The black priests who saw me flinched. It must have been a dream that no one else would enter this room.

But I can. Thanks to the tracker in your hand.

Before entering the cave, I removed all nearby alarms. He had the power to neutralize all the enchantments.

The final gate in the cave was a little difficult. But in the end it was only a matter of time, and I managed to drill a hole through my mana.

That's why I was able to stay hidden in one corner and watch their trail.

I pulled the Mana pistol out of my waist.

“What are you doing? Kidnapping innocent children to draw blood? What, the Devil Diablo? Did these bastards smoke drugs with the group? ”

“How dare you set foot in here. Forgive me with death!”

“Forgiveness is yours, you bastards! ”

Ta-ang! Tada!

My Mana pistol flashes a blue flame. Again, the troops were busy dropping picks without dodging bullets. I took care of them in an instant.

I fired ammunition using error without deliberately using Mana.

So, while the power was weak, the priests were weak enough that even the bullets could not be retrieved. They're probably followers, so they're more like ordinary people.

However, there was one who did not fall down until he reached the magazine twice.

The man who's smiling at me.

He was Prague's Confederate.

“As expected, Lord Dylan. It was you. I always thought you had something. ”

“Don't pretend to know. Stop making fun of my filthy mouth. It stinks.”

Huff.

I removed the empty magazine and replaced it with a new one.

Confucius Prague looked up at the ceiling and was amazed at himself as he stretched out his arms like an actor receiving Spotlight.

“None of the born are unclean in the world! The only way to escape the veil of sin is to make atonement with hot blood. I help the law, but I'm not wrong. Would a sinner like you understand? ”

Taang!

A powerful bullet aims at the duc's abdomen instead of an answer, but he teases his hand and simply blocks it.

I'm in a bit of trouble.

He seems to know how to use Mana to defend himself.

I crave the pistol, but I draw the sword instead.

Once this is done, we'll have to cut through the self-destruct with Mana Sword. I wanted to cut myself as little as possible, but I couldn't help it.

I warned him, taking the sword.

“I'm telling you, your plan is blown. The Adelines will be here soon. You will be dragged to the tower or imprisoned in the dungeon. You'll never see the light. ”

“What are you fooling around with? All I have to do is give my little life to become a business! I can't be stopped by a user to come! ”

Suddenly, he turns.

Manaro pulls the self-reinforcing machine to its limit and pulls out the dagger. And I slit the neck of a child who had been dragged away without pity.

“Gaaaah!”

The girl screams, but her neck is clear. I jumped first and prevented his attack with Mana Sword.

Ta-da!

I twisted my sword at the same time as stopping it. The dagger falls from Princess Prague's hand and rolls the cold stone floor into a commotion.

“Ugh…. ”

In the process, he suffered a major injury to his right hand.

Prague, who held one arm in his hands with all his blood, now stares at me as if to kill me. On the other hand, my eyes were filled with horror.

“I can't believe it... Dylan, were you a Mana user, too? ”

“Yes. I worked hard to hide it. Rumor has it he's not a bad user after all. Because guys like you turn on the trash. ”

As you can see, I've developed a larger Mana Sword. A shivering force erupts into the boulder blade and makes a sudden burst of energy.

Prague's eyes are filled with despair.
