Episode 81 24. A Merry Rebellion (3)

5.

Nur couldn’t understand this sudden situation.

Why is Charon, who was headed to Thebes with the knights, here?

‘……why?’

I couldn’t find the reason.

I wanted to think about the situation and figure it out, but unfortunately, Caron didn’t allow me that luxury.

Kwajijijik-!

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

Once again a scream burst from Nur’s mouth.

Because Charon’s foot struck his right instep.

Caron said, holding Nur’s head with his right hand.

“Where is the ledger?”

“Why on earth are you looking for Jang… … Bu… ?”

Kwajik!

This time, left foot.

“Krrrrrrr.”

Nurga was foaming at the mouth and about to lose consciousness due to the unbearable pain.

It would have been better if I had just fainted like that.

However, Revelio, who was behind him, swung his wand as if he had been waiting and cast a spell.

“Wake up.”

Awakening magic.

The magic, which is almost like a curse, forcibly awakens the target’s mind.

A hell from which there is no escape.

He spoke with tears in his eyes as the pain surged from his entire body.

“Safe. It’s in the safe. I’ll… I’ll get it out for you.”

“in action.”

“Yes, yes! Yes.”

When Charon released him for a moment, Nurr began to crawl on the floor like a dog.

Then he placed his palm on the safe under the desk.

Woohoo.

The safe froze as it recognized Nur’s palm, and soon the items inside came into view.

Expensive precious metals and gold bars, including magic stones.

And a book that looks quite thick.

He grabbed the book with trembling hands.

I don’t know why on earth the authors needed this, but his brilliant mind was certain of one thing.

If you don’t pass this, you die here.

Nur, who had thought this far, quickly assessed the situation while enduring the pain.

‘Caron Reston was originally created for this purpose… … .’

I don’t know why, but even in the midst of the excruciating pain, my head felt clearer.

‘… … We must cooperate in whatever way possible.’

If Count Leandro returns, things might change, but that’s too vague.

Because the Caron Reston in front of him was looking at him with a chilling murderous aura.

A master from afar, a threat from near.

Nur knew very well which of the two he had to choose.

“Here… … here it is. This is a list of transactions for the past four years. The ledger is copied every three months… … every three months and given to Count Leandro.”

“You listen well. So is this the original?”

“Yes. Please, please give me some painkillers… … .”

At those words, Caron smiled faintly.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“Please, I beg you! I will do whatever you say.”

A humble attitude that is almost cowardly.

Caron said, glancing back at Revelio.

“Can you use a little pain magic, hyung?”

“If anyone saw me, they would think I was your attendant.”

Revelio sighed deeply and swung his wand again.

Then, for a moment, peace came to Nur’s expression, which had been distorted by pain.

Caron spoke to Nur, who had found some more composure.

“Do you want to live?”

“I will do as you say… I will unconditionally follow whatever you say, Master.”

I had no intention of persuading this guy to become a whistleblower in the first place.

What could be more stupid than talking to trash?

If you give them unbearable pain, their mouths will open on their own.

For trash, in its own way.

That was Charon’s theory.

“Testify with your own mouth about the guilt of Count Leandro.”

“If you are talking about the slave trade… … .”

“Count Leandro planned a rebellion after raising military funds through slave trading. This is all that is required to testify.”

“Are you talking about anti-rebellion?”

At best, I thought they would order me to denounce the slave trade.

But the story that came out of Caron’s mouth was far beyond Nur’s expectations.

treason.

Charon was now demanding that he testify against Count Leandro for his treason.

When Nur tried to avoid giving a direct answer to the question of the enormous scale of treason, Revelio simply flicked his fingers.

OK.

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The pain that had calmed me down for a moment came rushing back to my whole body.

And at that moment, Nur nodded with all his might.

“I will do that! I will do that.”

“If you will do as I say, the only crime you will be charged with is slave trading. When Count Leandro plotted a rebellion, your loyalty to the Empire caused you to denounce the insider… … This is your motive for the accusation. Do you understand?”

“Yes, yes. I understand.”

All I see from this guy is a desperation to live.

There was not even an inch of loyalty to the master he had served for a long time.

Caron laughed at Nur, who was just nodding her head, and then shook her hands.

Then he turned around and looked at Revelio.

“You can take care of the rest, hyung. I did the dirty work myself. I’m going to deal with the slave traders now, so can you do that for me?”

Then Revelio slowly got up from his seat and nodded.

“Can I take care of the rest?”

“As long as you don’t mind.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Go first.”

Was it because the answer was too gentle?

Caron gave Revelio a disapproving look.

But since he didn’t have much time, he turned around and went straight out of the reception room.

So only Rebelio, Mason, and Nur were left in the guest room.

As Caron left the reception room, Rebellio smiled and said to Nur.

“I’m going to take care of the cleanup for you, so I have to do it properly. You might not know this, but that guy is the type to nag a lot if you don’t do it properly.”

Revelio looked at Nur and his eyes lit up.

“What is your authority in this city? It seems like you are acting as Count Leandro’s shadow. Don’t you think you have a lot of power?”

“… … In the absence of the lord, I may act on his behalf.”

“For a bastard who deals in slaves, that’s a lot of authority. Hey, so is it possible to gather the citizens in the square?”

“It might be possible since martial law has been declared.”

“That’s right.”

Rebellio drank the tea on the table in one gulp, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and spoke in a low voice.

“The 6th Prince has something to say to the people of Levin, so gather everyone in the square.”

Fireworks should be displayed as grandly as possible.

So loud that the whole neighborhood was noisy.

Rebellio raised the corners of his mouth as he looked at Nur.

“It’s more fun when you go outside.”

I thought to myself that this place was much more fun than the boring palace.

6.

After leaving the auction house, Caron went straight to the Cobbler’s Human Resources Office.

A human resources office disguised as an ordinary bar.

Squeak.

As soon as I opened the door and went in, men with fierce expressions glared at me.

But that was only for a moment.

When the big guys confirmed that the person who came in was Charon, they all stood up from their seats and bowed politely.

“You have come, Young Master!”

“You have come, Young Master!”

The human resources office staff greeted Caron with loud greetings, as if the leader of a crime syndicate had just arrived.

After a while, a seriously ugly guy ran out between them.

“Oh my, Lord Caron! You’re here! The entire Cobbler Human Resources Office is ready. Just give the order and we’ll be ready to move!”

Cobbler greeted Caron, wringing his hands together.

“Why do you look like that?”

Charon frowned as he looked at the thick armor Cobbler was wearing.

Iron armor that appears to be unnecessarily thick.

It must have been really uncomfortable, because sweat was running down the forehead of the armored cobbler.

But Cobbler smiled as if nothing had happened.

The guy’s yellow teeth were shining so brightly that it was annoying.

“Isn’t life the most important thing? Everyone just has to eat to survive, but I felt it would be unfair if I got stabbed in the back and died, so I wore it. Hehe, I asked my blacksmith friend in Leven to buy me one, but this is how I’m using it.”

“Are you close with that guy?”

“sure!”

“Let’s break up from today. You’ll probably get screwed if you keep wearing that.”

“Huh? This thick-.”

Booooooo-!

As Caron swung the guillotine, the armor Cobbler was wearing was instantly cut down.

Armor that cuts like pudding.

Cobbler’s face turned pale as he watched the scene with his own two eyes.

“Hee… … Heeeeek!”

“Just pick up some leather armor or something like that and wear it. I have no intention of fighting in front of you in the first place, do I?”

“That’s right, that’s right. As expected, Lord Caron Reston! Just as rumored, your swordsmanship is incredible. Ugh!”

A cobbler who flatters Caron with exaggerated expressions.

Caron looked at the cobbler with pity, then looked around.

The numbers that fill this small bar.

Even the stairs leading to the second floor were packed with people.

“… … It seems like the number has increased a bit since then?”

Cobbler responded to Caron’s remark as if he had been waiting for it.

“There were products… …. no, comrades who would join the great master’s will to free the slaves! Among those waiting at our human resources office, only those who had received military training were carefully selected to participate in this uprising.”

“What number?”

“35 regular employees of the human resources office, and the people who depended on the office… … No, no! 15 comrades. That’s a total of 50 people.”

It was obvious just by looking at them who had volunteered to participate in this effort.

Unlike the office workers who were roughly wearing dark leather armor, these people were wearing equipment that looked quite good.

Cobbler said, sticking his belly out proudly.

“I bought some really good gear to make sure the product value wouldn’t be compromised… … . Oh no. That’s not the product value… … .”

“You spent some money. Good job.”

Cobbler’s eyes widened at the sudden compliment.

How is this crazy guy getting all this praise?

But after a while, the cobbler nodded with a faint smile.

“But they are friends I’ve grown fond of… … Can’t I just let them die?”

“Because you don’t get any money when you’re dead?”

“… …More than money… …It’s pitiful. They’re all friends just waiting for a new opportunity.”

Are those words acting?

After thinking for a moment, Caron slowly shook his head.

Because this guy wasn’t that smart.

Caron let out a small sigh. Then he slapped Cobbler on the back and said.

“All the money spent on this project can be billed to our workshop later. I will pay you the amount spent plus 50%.”

“Oh my! Thank you, my lord. I will do my best to help you with the undertaking!”

Cobbler’s face began to glow, as if he had spent a lot of money arming his men.

Cobbler asked Caron thoughtfully, his voice brightening even more.

“Even if most of Count Leandro’s men have gone on a campaign, there are still quite a few of his soldiers left in the city… … . Would 50 men be enough?”

A valid point.

But Caron answered simply.

“Not enough.”

“If you say so, my lord, I will believe you! You must have a mysterious plan!”

“There’s no such thing?”

“……yes?”

“What kind of plan do you need to destroy? Just go and beat them all up. Oh, our first target is the concentration camp that Count Leandro runs himself. Do you know where it is?”

“yes…….”

Can we really bet our future on this clueless young master?

But it’s already too late to regret.

Since you’ve already decided to join, you have to succeed in order to survive.

“Then let’s get moving right away.”

Crunch.

Caron, wearing his black helmet again, opened the door again with light steps and stepped out.

Finally, the merry rebellion began.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
