To Deprive a Deprived Person

Episode 262: The Driven

There were many bottles of wine scattered on the table and on the floor. Whether the maids clean it up or not, the next time they come to clean the room, they're scattered.

"Puhaha...... I don't want you to report it. These incompetent people."

A strong liquor smell drifts from Value's mouth.

Values who were not so liquor-loving started drinking large quantities of alcohol, as if people had changed since the Symphony ceremony.

And the food decreases as if inversely proportional to alcohol intake, and Value's body, which was obese, is losing weight and fading day by day.

Ministers begin their fearful reports so as not to undermine the mood of the Values as much as possible.

"It's Satou, but there are reports that you saw it in The Devil's Prison. Perhaps exploring the labyrinth with the others."

"He's the soldier who sent him to Cummer, but he's probably been exterminated by Muss' eaters."

"We still don't know where François and Sir Peterlitt are who made him disappear. Perhaps François returned to St. Jardalk. As far as Sir Peterlit is concerned, there is no sign of his return to the territory - hiccup!?

The glass thrown by Value splashes at the minister's feet.

"Probably, and always this guy - keep your mouth shut and say the same thing! Still, for generations, those who serve my Knox family!

When Value offers her hand, the samurai rushes to hand her a substitute glass and pours the wine.

"Ngu! Ahhh... If you know you're in the labyrinth, turn to the assassin immediately! As much as killing Sato is the top priority, you won't have to tell me!!

"" The Devil's Prison "is an A-rank labyrinth, and in co-adventurers it doesn't even come true to reach the middle class.

Having acquired the Horn of the Ancient Dragon, it seems possible for Sato to explore at least the seventy-fourth level. "

"Not as many adventurers are back from Cummer!

"Enough to count among the returning adventurers the" Devil's Prison, "which can also be explored to the lower levels.

We are not talking about difficult causes such as finding Satoh while defeating a formidable demon in a vast labyrinth and assassinating him even more.

Besides, the adventurer back from Cummer seems to have had a handache there and won't be in use for a while. "

"So what are we going to do!!

Value slams a glass of wine to the floor. Fragments of broken glass splash and red stains spread over the carpet.

"May I have your permission to speak in person?

The man, who puts his hand on his chest and asks permission to speak, was one of the ministers serving the value with a lower sequence.

"What? If you have any good ideas, let me know."

"I'm the nameless king..."

"Calling a lower bitch like that a king, etc!!

"What do you say that Master Value knows whose fault this is?!!

"Don't shut up!!

When Value drinks, the ministers bow their heads and mouth.

"Go on."

"Thank you.

I'm a nameless king, but I've been back to Cummer several times while exploring The Devil's Prison. "

"I wonder what you're going to say, stupid thing."

"How to explore the labyrinth and return to Kamer, far away."

The ministers who were talking break into conversations, even though they were in the middle of a conversation.

"Forgot? that the nameless king is the user of 'space-time magic'."

To the words, the ministers around them silenced as if they had remembered.

"Now about twice, I was able to make contact with the nameless king at Cummer"

"Become!? Well, that would be the way it is."

"Yes, don't lie.

We hired outsiders to try to make contact so as not to irritate the most nameless king. If this one's thankful, it's possible enough to meet.

And the next time King Nameless returns to Cummer is in four days. "

"Hey, four days... later... Huh?

Where there was no clue, Value smiled, as if she had found a glimmer of light.

"Well, if you hire a handcrafted assassin now,"

"Higher ranked adventurers than that."

"Before you do that, you'd better turn around a servant in Satoh's mansion..."

The ministers will begin to discuss how to assassinate Yu.

"Quiet!!

I was surprised by the voice and everyone stared at the man at the bottom of the sequence.

"Are you still talking about that in this period!

The factions have disintegrated, many nobles have been executed, and where have private soldiers and mercenaries gone? Isn't that what Lawrence looks like? The adventurers they held were useless, and the ungrateful saw the situation as unfavourable or left without saying anything.

Already, it is not the fate of Master Value. It depends on the survival of the Knox family, a noble fame who has served the Kingdom of Wodon for generations!!

Dear Value, can you remember how much the compensation was today?

"Thirty billion."

I guess you don't want to remind me of the humiliating sights in the Adventurer Guild. Value groans as she preys on the words.

"It's three hundred and forty-three hundred and fifty nine hundred and seventy three hundred and eighty thousand three hundred and sixty-eight madka to be exact. Four days from now, you will have to transfer about $550 billion to the Adventurers Guild by noon. Where do you have that kind of money?

"Wow, not yet in my treasure trove..."

"No!

Forgot the contents of your pledge? Compensation is paid in cash only.

We have already cut 600 billion in cash that we have paid in large amounts at the earlier auctions and deposited in the treasure trove and in each guild.

Do you want to sell off Value's artwork and expensive magic aids? We don't have too much time to turn it into cash.

And even if you get the cash, it's only a slight extension of your life. If you prepare and force now, you can reach Kammer by noon in four days while paying compensation in each town or village.

Dear Value, make your decision. This is our last chance. "

Value ponders with her head as the ministers flaunt.

And...

"Get ready to head to Cummer immediately."

To that word, the minister man who truly guides himself through the Value.

"We're already ready"

That's what I said.

The information lost by Finance Minister Value was initially subject to a warrant to avoid confusion.

Rumors spread due to the families and clans of the executed nobles, who had already known not only the King's capital but also other countries.

The people of the king's capital, who were half-hearted at first, also knew that one day the Lawrence men had disappeared on the border, and the rumors spread to the oral narratives as contagious.

Then a terrible retaliation was launched against those who had done whatever they wanted, for the good that the Finance Minister and the nobles of that faction had been behind them until now.

Farmers and merchants who had been buying crops and commodities simultaneously stopped doing business with the Belgian Chamber of Commerce.

There was also, naturally, a grudge of years, but more than that, he feared being found out that he was dealing with the Beloon Chamber of Commerce.

Someone working for the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, as every day, was dying somewhere in the King's Capital. In the vicinity of the stores owned by the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, those who watched the opportunity for revenge persisted, and gradually the Beloon Chamber of Commerce was unable to leave the stores even during the day.

"I can't get in touch with Master Value!?

"Well, if I can't see you now, my squire will reply."

"What am I supposed to do!? What is the chairman doing at a time like this?

Like other stores, the Beloon Chamber of Commerce No. 5 pulled into stores for fear of raids.

There was no way that customers or anything like this would come, and the beautifully managed store was exposed to vandalism and debris.

"G., Guldem, what do we do?"

"Take it easy. Now is the time to endure."

And the guards of the proud arms of the Chamber of Commerce of Beloon, too, feared, and at some point they ceased to see themselves.

From the outside, he said, "Come out!" and I hear an anger. Each time, the merchants shook their bodies.

"Ho ho, you're in trouble."

"So, who is it!?

Outside the store suddenly became quiet, and when the people of the Beloon Chamber of Commerce tried to ascertain what was going on, an old man with a large number of men stood in the store.

"Ki, you! How did you get in the store and who gave you permission in the first place!! You thief!!

"Ho-ho, what a terrible way to say thief. Oh, let me break the door here."

"Are you... Mago Piet?"

Grudem, who had seen the old man hidden in the wall, muttered his name to that familiar figure.

"Oh? Isn't this Mr. Guldem, who will be entrusted with the head of the Fifth Store of the Beloon Chamber of Commerce? It's an honor to remember an old man like me."

"Are you here to negotiate"

Nor has Guldem been entrusted with the store of the Beroon Chamber of Commerce by Dada. I had an immediate idea, such as by whose hand the loss of the Value Finance Minister was brought about.

It is easy to imagine that the purpose of Mago in hand with Yu is to avenge the Beloon Chamber of Commerce. So is it the store's right to show up on this occasion, or have you come to mock this miserable kind?

"Negotiate? Ho-ho, this is crazy"

"What's wrong with you"

"Negotiation is the first one to be concluded because the forces are antagonistic to each other to some extent, or because they can present what the other wants.

You think I can present what I want to you now?

"Be disrespectful!!

"Let me tell you something!

"At the minute of a third-rate merchant who ran away with his tail wrapped around from Wang Du!!

Whatever they say to the people of the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, the room does not disappear from the look on Mago's face. On the contrary, he seemed to have fun and even had a colloquial conversation with the men who would refrain behind him.

"By the way, I can't see you guys bragging about the escort.

Don't you want to know where you are?

When Mago slaps his hand, the men line up the boxes of squares in front of Guldem one after the other.

"Please, don't you want to know where the escort is?

"Open it."

Guldem orders the suspicious employees of the Beloon Chamber of Commerce to open it.

"Hih!?

"Hey, what the... Huh!

"It's not what people do. Livestock business!!

The contents of the box were the head of a person.

All the faces, if they were from the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, were familiar faces - things of the men of the escort.

"Ho ho, what is a livestock business? How can it slip out?

Mr. Guldem, you seem to have noticed me right away, but don't you have any idea who's lining up behind you?

Even though Mago told me so, Guldem was full of unrecognizable people.

"These people were originally merchants.

Those merchants you crushed, using the power of the Finance Minister and Lawrence, because they refused to cooperate with the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, or because they were competitors.

Besides, I'm not so tired of it when I come with you guys, and with a further push, which mouth calls people livestock, etc., such as letting them sign unfair contracts, enslaving them to their families and selling them off?

I followed the legend I gained at the slave traders to help those here. Still, how many merchants have fallen into slavery or don't even know if their families are dead or missing? "

Earlier I could see why the men who refrain from behind the mago stare at themselves with extraordinary eyes, and the people of the Beloon Chamber of Commerce freeze their spines with fear.

"Hoho, I'm done with the Beloon Chamber of Commerce. Everyone else in the store is happy to accept this offer."

"Suggestions…?

"Yeah.

I threw everything away and chose to leave the King's Capital. As for this one, you can choose which one. "

And one of them, and one of them from the Loon Chamber of Commerce, breaketh his knees, and sobs. They have no choice.

"Wow... ok. I accept your suggestion."

"Now take off your clothes"

"What... are you saying?

"There is no need for clothing or anything else for you beasts wearing man's skin. Walk naked and on four feet like a beast, and leave the king's capital."

The men behind the mago begin to curse the people of the Loon Chamber of Commerce in unison. No one could turn against that too much force.

From this day on many watched the men of the Chamber of Commerce of Beloon leave the king's capital, walking naked and on four feet like beasts.

But there is no one to pity it.

There was no one in the King's capital who used power and violence to shelter the Beloon Chamber of Commerce, whatever he wanted.

"Ho ho. Come on, this is the end of bloody stinking revenge.

From now on, please help me with my shop in Wangdu. "

To Mago's words, the men who had finished their revenge wept.
