Wizard Days (2)
Harang was able to join the security guard for catching and subduing Mike Rickton in the act.
Mike Rickton was so notorious as a conman who preyed on tourists that there was talk that he was even preparing for a citizen’s award.
“You mean you didn’t intentionally target and catch that swindler?”
“Yeah, just by chance… … .”
Harang did not say that he held the microphone intentionally. Even if she says she targeted and arrested a criminal, her identity will only be questioned for no reason.
Since the Harang here was ‘Wizard Days’, it was correct to say that I caught it by chance.
“Huh, I see… … .”
Some investigators even looked sad as they saw Harang holding the crystal bubble tightly in his hand throughout the interrogation.
“Well… … “I’m traveling alone, but didn’t I almost get caught by that vicious swindler?”
“You’re welcome.”
“Mike, that guy, once he starts biting at that thing, he gets really ripped off. Since we didn’t do anything about human trafficking, we had no choice but to let it go… … .”
“oh my god. “Look at your scared face.”
As Harang shrugged his shoulders, the investigators clicked their tongues as if they were heartbroken.
Actually, I was a little scared.
‘Your identity won’t be discovered, right?’
Since the guards had relatively many martial artists, they were able to notice Harang’s muscles hidden under the robes.
If you are told to take off your robe or if the camouflage magic on your eyeballs is discovered, the mission will immediately fail. It was a prerequisite for this mission not to let anyone know that I was Caladorn.
So I just crouched down as much as possible, but it seems like I bought a sympathy vote. Investigators tried to send it back without touching it at all.
“Oh my gosh, how much heartache it must have been. Now, you can have a quick meeting with the garrison commander and then go back!”
“Don’t ever meet a scammer like that again, and have a nice trip.”
The way the investigators spoke as if they were talking to children gave me goosebumps all over my body, but I couldn’t show it.
“Yeah… … .”
After the investigators returned, after waiting for a while, the door opened and two men came in.
The man sitting across from Harang looked like a typical warrior, bulky and with scars on his face, while the man standing behind him holding documents was the type of liberal arts student.
‘He’s the defense captain. ‘He doesn’t look like he’s suited for that position.’
Harang relaxed and straightened his shrunken shoulders. The man sitting across from her bowed his head to her lover and said.
“Hello to the little moon of Caladun.”
I knew it. They were Caladun’s secret agents. I was expecting it, so I wasn’t surprised and said it with a curtsy.
“nice to meet you. “Please understand that I cannot tell you my real name.”
“yes. Since I use the name ‘Garden’, I hope you remember me like this. “By the way, your resourcefulness is amazing, Confucius.”
The garrison commander raised the corners of his mouth and said as if he was happy.
“I heard that Pauldon Knight would hide his identity and approach quietly, but when I wondered how he could join the security forces, I found out that he had deliberately entangled himself with a vicious criminal. With this, we can contact each other comfortably. Very good. “Do they even teach this method in the White Night Castle these days?”
“We don’t teach that.”
“Hahaha, I guess so. anyway… “I don’t have time, so let’s get to the point. I’m sure you want information about ‘mixed marriage.’”
Anyway, while I was glad that the contact went smoothly, Garden said as if he was having trouble.
“That’s actually… … Since our original mission is to the other side, we don’t really know anything about hybridization yet. “If you want, we will try our best, but it is difficult because we are short on manpower.”
“Um, really?”
Harang chuckled and asked the man of Moon and type standing behind him.
“So, what does your ‘commander’ think? “Is there really no information?”
“… … !”
Hearing the name Harang, the man behind him paused for a moment while writing something down on a document.
Then he raised his head, pushed up his glasses, and made eye contact.
“Are you talking to me?”
“You are the boss. yes?”
“Oh, no, that’s… … .”
Garden looked visibly embarrassed and tried to make an excuse, but the man standing behind him tapped his shoulder and said.
“done. Confucius noticed… … Any further acting is disrespectful.”
When Garden got up, the man approached Harang and bowed silently.
“Hello to the little moon of Caladun. It is called maltyrene. “Due to the nature of my job, I apologize for lying about my identity in case of an emergency.”
Maltyren was speaking calmly, but inside he was very surprised.
‘… … ‘How did you know?’
I never imagined that my identity would be discovered by a 14-year-old boy.
‘If you do this, the story will be different.’
To be honest, Maltyren found it an unpleasant annoyance when Caladern’s direct blood relatives were announced as coming.
They felt that it was unfair that they had to abandon their own duties and assist their young direct relatives in carrying out their duties.
All Maltyren could think of was that they were abusers who used Caladern’s knights to build their reputation in order to forcibly achieve merit with their insufficient abilities.
Since there was an order from above, I was planning to just look at the face and send it back without handing over any information… .
‘Harang Paul Callathan… … I heard rumors that he had excellent swordsmanship, but there were also many stories about his intelligence and wisdom. Indeed, I think I will know for sure when I see it in person. If it’s like this, there’s no need to waste our information.’
Maltyren took out a yellow document envelope that he had kept in his pocket and held it out to him.
“I apologize again for being rude. “The statement that there was no information about hybridization was actually false.”
“Is there a reason why you lied to me?”
When I opened the envelope and asked, Maltyren lowered his head.
“I began to suspect that I was building my reputation as a knight in an unfair and dishonorable manner. If you’re feeling bad… … .”
“Hmm.”
That doesn’t make me feel bad at all. In fact, I was even more curious about the statement about building honor in an unfair manner.
“So, you’re saying that there was a blood relative other than mine who used subordinate knights to unfairly gain honor?”
“… … .”
Maltyren was silent, but looked slightly annoyed. I guess I shouldn’t talk about that.
“There’s nothing to be nervous about. He must have been silenced tightly. “I have no intention of forcing myself to ask.”
Harang said, tapping the documents.
“Rather, I’d like to hear the briefing first.”
“yes… … .”
Maltyren had a strange feeling.
As someone who had the experience of attending many Kaladan blood relatives in the field, the young boy in front of him felt quite unfamiliar.
When they found out that they had hidden something, most of their blood relatives did not get angry or show it outwardly, but they would look displeased as if they had been insulted.
Also, if they found out something, they would force them to open their mouths in order to find out somehow, and this was a common story not only for Calathan but also for most high-ranking nobles.
However, the boy spoke in a manner that seemed as if he cared about the well-being of his subordinates, giving them a strange sense of security.
To the extent that Maltyren, who does not like nobles that much, strangely opens his heart to Harang… … .
“… … First of all, we have tracked down the group of warlocks who mass produce hybrid flowers several times, but as soon as their location is discovered, they burn all evidence and disappear.”
“You’re going to burn all the mixed flowers? “It would be a waste, but it’s okay.”
“Because life is more important. It seems to be operating quite systematically, but it is not that organized as it has absorbed and exploited the gangsters that were running around on the streets. The problem is that their whereabouts are so mysterious that it is difficult to track them down… … .”
Maltyren stroked his chin.
“Probably, some force behind the scenes is watching over them.”
“I guess that’s true, right?”
“yes.”
The Duchy of Kaladan recognizes the autonomy of each territory. Some cities are fiefdoms, ruled by lords and lords, and others, like the Harana Canal, are ruled by various nobles through a city council.
If he is in charge of the city council of the Harana Canal, which can be said to be the center of trade, he must have a huge amount of money under his control. Of course, he will have considerable power.
“It wouldn’t be a problem to look after a group of warlocks, but… … “Why do you have to do something like that?”
Harang’s pure question was nothing short of a nail-biter. This is a problem that has not yet been solved because Maltyren’s intelligence agents have infiltrated this place.
“If the city council makes a fuss, the money will come in without having to deal with dangerous products like mixed cotton, so what are you going to do?”
“That is the question. If he can avoid the guards, he must be a person of considerable power… … “No matter how much we robbed the city council, we could not find any cases related to the black market for hybridization.”
I could tell just by looking at Maltyren’s expression. Unlike before, he wasn’t really trying to hide anything now, but his expression was that he was having trouble because he didn’t know anything.
Saetbyeol-an’s insight became known even without wanting to know such detailed emotional changes.
“Hmm… … .”
If the agents of the intelligence department had decided to investigate only this part, they would have been able to dig up information soon, but since they had a separate mission, they could not go that far.
“Well, this is enough. “I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Yes?”
Maltyren was embarrassed again.
As a Foldon Knight of Caladern, in order for my blood relatives to carry out their duties properly, I must clearly know who and where the enemy is.
However, where and how would a Kaladan blood relative who had been practicing swordsmanship all his life go and obtain such information?
Most of the blood relatives I had seen so far were sitting around here and begging me to get information quickly.
‘What on earth are you going to do…? … ?’
Harang stood up and put on his robe, packing the documents in his arms.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be bothered again after today. The information received… … “I’ll pay you back later.”
“Wow, you’re paying me back. “It’s not even possible.”
“You work for Kaladun, not me, right? “I’m grateful that they share the information they worked so hard to obtain for free, but I feel better when I have to put it in debt.”
“… … .”
Is there any noble in the world who can say something like that? Maltyren felt a strange, mysterious charm from that boy. Even though she only treats her subordinates as equals, is it possible for her to be so attracted to her?
“I am the wizard, and you are the guards. Let’s work hard in our respective positions. “Okay then.”
After giving a cool greeting, Harang left the guard post. As she watched him leave, Malty Ren felt something clear in her head.
“her… … “I have always wondered whether the ‘respected knight’ really exists, but I think I now know why such a thing is said.”
If that young master grows up a little more and shows his true colors as a knight… … At that time, he will certainly be worthy of being called a ‘respected and honorable knight’.
‘I’m looking forward to it. How will He accomplish what we could not accomplish? … .’
* * *
Craddangtang! Mike, who was half-thrown into a prison cell, grabbed his head and lifted his head.
“Damn, I’m like this… … .”
“Good, guy. “I thought the case would be caught someday.”
The guards closed the cage door and laughed at Mike.
“It was nice robbing the customers, right? Do you know how much the reputation of the Harana Canal has fallen because of you?”
“There are already bad rumors going around among the nobles.”
“You will have to do hard labor in prison until you pay off the entire fine.”
‘Damn it, labor!’
Does it make sense to earn a few pennies by shoveling a shovel when you can make a fortune without doing any labor or by just playing around with your hands? That’s a serious waste of talent!
“Today is a good day! “I guess it was a young boy wizard who caught that guy?”
“I don’t know who it is, but I want to see his face. “He’s the guy I really wanted to kill, but you made that wish come true.”
“Haha, let’s go have a drink!”
As the guards left laughing, Mike banged his head against the wall! I hit it.
This prison, under the jurisdiction of Rondel Cathedral, can never be escaped once captured. The Holy Knights of the church were watching with their eyes wide open.
Mike became very depressed and spent a sad day in prison. He had always spent his days cutting expensive steaks in luxury hotels, so he couldn’t believe the reality of being on the cold floor of a prison cell, eating thick stew that didn’t even taste like rice.
‘Damn it, just let me get out, that little noble bastard…’ … .’
Mike, who was gritting his teeth and pounding his fist against the wall, suddenly felt something strange and raised his head.
Now that I think about it, something is strange.
There were always guards walking around outside the prison, watching over criminals, but for some reason, no one was seen.
‘Is this an opportunity to escape from prison?’
With that thought in mind, Mike grabbed the iron bars of the prison door with both hands and tried to stick his head out to look outside.
… … Wow!
Due to the sudden shock hitting my face, I screamed and fell backwards without even being able to breathe properly.
“Ugh, euph…” … !!”
Mike, who was holding his neck, clearing his throat and drooling, barely raised his shaking head.
Squeak… … !
The iron cage door opens, and several large men in black robes come in.
‘Well, what is it? what?!’
I didn’t really understand the situation. This means that this is a prison managed by the priests of Rondel Cathedral. Why are people like that able to come and go here so casually?
Those doubts disappeared in an instant from the back of my mind. When the man in black robes removed his hood, the face revealed was all too familiar.
“Dog, brother Gallic… … .”
“mike. You must have said it clearly? There’s important work to be done soon, so don’t mess around and stay quiet. “By the way, were you arrested by the security?”
“Tongue, brother. I didn’t say anything! I was just caught cheating! “I didn’t reveal anything about you!”
“You don’t know that. How do we know if they will sell our names in order to get taken to the Capital Inquiry and get their sentences reduced?”
When Gallic rolled up his arm, his tiger tattoo was slightly revealed. There was no magical effect, but the visual effect was clear. Mike collapsed on the floor, even urinating!
Ugh… !!
A red magic circle drawn on Gallic’s wrist. It was a magic circle that I had felt unpleasant for a long time, but today it was unusually clearer and had a blood-red glow.
“Even if you are a useless piece of trash, you would still be useful as a sacrifice.”
“Gyo, prison guard! “Kyodo-gwaaaan!!”
As if grasping for the last straw, he cried out while remembering the faces of the guards who were making fun of him, but there was no reply.
Crackle, clatter!!
“ugh… “Kwaaaaaak!”
Mike’s eyes rolled over in pain that felt like it was twisting and squeezing the muscles and bones of his entire body, and he lost all his vitality and collapsed.
Looking at Mike’s body, which looked like a twisted mummy, Gallick spat and turned around.
“The life force of a rotten criminal is not very tasty, and since there is no altar, it is not very efficient.”
“But still, brother. Didn’t you achieve 5 stars for this issue? Moreover, he is even skilled in black magic… “Wow!”
The subordinate following him tried to flatter him, but Gallic grabbed his head.
“Dark magic? “Have you forgotten where you are?”
“Tongue, brother… … Sorry, sorry… … .”
“Good. “If you just leave Mike’s body lying around, the picture will look weird, so you should stay by his side.”
“tongue… Brother… … .”
Wow! Gently twisting his subordinate’s neck, Gallick threw the body next to Mike.
“let’s go.”
“… … yep!”
Seeing Gallic without any blood or tears as he casually threw away his subordinates, the other subordinates quietly followed him in a cold sweat.
