The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts - Chapter 196
“Now, wait.”
The lycans who came running grasped the situation and tried to attack us, but a lycan named Bulk who flew to me got up and raised his hand.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I have to rip off the limbs right away!”
“Why are you asking to call the manager?”
The Lycans were taken aback by what the beaten Blk said, and I smiled contentedly inwardly. It was going as I thought.
“I would have said you didn’t deserve to know.”
“If you still don’t talk…”
“Call Rekkun.”
“Mmm…”
When the name of the auction house manager came out of my mouth, the expressions of the Lycans hardened. Seeing that he acted recklessly even though he knew who the manager was, he thought there was something there.
It was going perfectly as planned.
“There are eyes that see here, so would you like to go to the guest room? I will bring Rekkun-nim.”
“…guide me.”
Janice pulled back behind me, and I pretended to think for a moment as I stared at the Lycans with apathetic eyes before opening my mouth.

“Whoa, hey, you guide me. I will call Rekkun-sama.”
“Ah, I see.”
Blk sighed and went to pick up Rekkun, and another Lycan led us to a gorgeous room.
We stood still without saying anything. I was worried that Janice would suddenly start talking, but she’s a guy who can act.
So far so good.
My plan is to play Rashid, who comes to the auction house on orders from Evelyn.
Evelyn has a habit of going to Critis’ castle and having a conversation with him, so she’s familiar with the top Lycans below her.
Targeting the Lycan’s habit of remembering people by smell, not by appearance, he transformed into Rashid with an inaccurate appearance, and used Kaizel’s magic to implant an illusion as if Evelyn’s smell emanated.
Gathering up the information I’ve heard so far, it was said that Rashid doesn’t talk much and only listens to Evelyn’s orders, so it wasn’t difficult to act. Like a robot, just say you heard the command and leave.
Awesome…
After waiting a moment, the door opened with a dying sound, and Rekkun, a nimble giant with gray hair, entered.
There was blood on his fist, but it must have been the blood of Blk, who had gone earlier. Looking at his expression, it was the look in his eyes that did not know the Rashid I had changed at all.
“Are you guys? Worms that have lost their heads?”
As soon as Rekkun entered, he frowned and glared at the three of us. It is a very angry expression. Janice was barely holding back his momentum, so I stepped forward.
“Shut up, open the warehouse.”
There were 7 people and 9 lycans in the room we were in, but when I said that, the whole room went silent.
“I’ve seen a lot of crazy people while running the auction house, but I’ve never seen someone like you.”
He said that, but Rekkun’s expression stiffened slightly. He was alerted to the fact that I was not frightened by his own momentum and stopped talking.
“It’s Evelyn’s order.”
“hmm!”
Now, when Rekkun’s mind is shaken, it’s time to sell Evelyn’s name. When I mentioned her name, Rekkun was startled and backed away.
“Did you say Evelyn?”
“Are you deaf? Why are you making me say it twice?”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Sword Demon.”
Since Sephiroth uses a title, not his real name, he said that it was not Rashid’s name, but a sword demon. Hearing the title of Sword Demon, Rekkun’s expression hardened even more.
“You were a sword demon…”
Judging from what he said, it seems that Rekkun has also heard of Rashid’s title.
“Wait a minute.”
Rekkun took a step forward. Seeing his nose twitch, he was trying to sniff it to make sure it was really Evelyn.
The lycan’s sense of smell has more power than a characteristic. Among the many scents that people give off, they have the ability to find what they want.
I stood still and looked at Rekkun with an expressionless expression. As if you don’t even care.
“hmm!”
Rekkun’s head, which had been sticking his face in, returned to its original position. It is a more comfortable expression as if he found what he was looking for.
“It definitely smells like Evelyn-sama.”
He still kept his expressionless expression, but inside he swept his chest. It was really fortunate that the magic worked.
The magic Kaisel used was the magic called 8 Circle Check Illusion. It is an illusion magic that allows the opponent to feel the desired sense, and in this case, it was made to smell the smell of Evelyn, which Rekkun was looking for.
For this trick to work, he really needs to make me believe I’m the Sword Demon. That’s why I ignored his pressure and continued to be arrogant as if I had really become Rashid.
If we had bent even a little bit, Rekkun would have attacked us without finding Evelyn’s scent.
“In addition, it smells of Mr. Critis, it is true.”
“…”
Rekkun said he even found the smell of Critis, which I hadn’t even thought of. It’s one of two things, whether it’s simpler than I thought or whether I acted ignorantly well. It could be a combination of the two reasons.
Anyway, seeing that he even smelled Criti’s, I had a hunch that things would go a lot easier than I expected.
“Evelyn’s smell, even Christis-sama’s, is certain. I’m sorry for doubting you. ha ha ha!”
When Rekkun’s doubts were cleared, he smiled wide and sat down on the chair in front of me. The chair looks pitiful, probably because Rekkun, who is well over 2m, is sitting on it.
“Shouldn’t you have contacted me in advance?”
Rekkun swallowed the whole apple on the table with a chomping sound as if he was sorry.
“So what were you trying to bring? Did Evelyn-sama see anything?”
“You don’t deserve to know.”
I always acted as Rashid and answered in a harmless voice.
“Ha ha ha! He’s also a blacksmith. As you’ve heard, you’re insanely cocky! It must be true that he only listens to Lady Evelyn’s orders.”
“It’s about Yuren Rocks. It’s urgent, so open the door quickly.”
“Uren Rocks! Quickly…”
I brought out my name to make Rekkun move faster, and the response came immediately. As he grinded his teeth, the air became so heavy that it was choking.
“I have to kill that bastard!”
The reason Rekkun is angry with me is probably because he killed a lot of Lycans while preventing Rox’s attack. It’s just that I’m honestly dumbfounded to have that kind of attitude after beating the first attacker.
“Follow me. Open the door right away.”
I calmed down my beating heart and chased after Rekkun. Looking back, Janice was showing a cheeky smile, while Kaizel was still expressionless.
“Sword Demon. Aside from you, who are the last two?”
“We are newcomers this time. hahahaha!”
As I headed towards the warehouse, Rekkun looked at Zenith and Kaizel behind me. Janice answered softly as if she had waited. He did a good job portraying himself being a little frightened by Rekkun.
“I heard that they are recruiting new recruits, but have they already been recruited? Because Yuren suffered a lot from that killer. Quickly…”
Rekkun said my name again and gnashed his teeth. I really wondered what kind of expression he would make if I was right behind him.
“This is the warehouse where the auction items to be traded this month are collected. It’s well organized, so bring what you need and just tell me.”
Rekkun opened the iron door that looked over 3m with one hand and let us into the warehouse.
“All right. thank you.”
Janice nodded in thanks, and went inside, ignoring me and Kaisel.
“The warehouse manager.”
“Ah, yes!”
At Rekkun’s call, a grumpy-looking middle-aged man came forward from behind.
“To help them find things. If you treat Hurturu, your neck and torso will be separated.”
“Ah, I see.”
When the administrator’s teeth clashed at Rekkun’s words, his entire body trembled. He looks like he’d urinate if he put a little more effort into it.
“Ask this manager to find the item. I will report to Critis-sama that you guys have arrived.”
I was shocked to the point of being stunned for a moment, but I forced myself to remain expressionless.
Critis does not respond well. It will definitely take a considerable amount of time to get in touch. Just grab it quickly and run away.
“That’s it.”
Rekkun heard my dry answer and went outside.
“Hu, Yurenrox…”
As I left, I muttered my name and left. That level of resentment, it didn’t seem like he was angry simply because a fellow countryman had died. It seems there is something else.
“Hey, what are you looking for over there?”
“Where are the books?”
“It’s on the bookshelf over there to the right. Magic books, magic books, general old books…”
I stopped listening to the manager and headed for the bookshelf.
“Where is the drink?”
“Sue, alcohol?”
“okay.”
“Well, it’s in that wooden closet over there. It’s an expensive drink from above…”
Kaisel also moved to the storage closet before the manager finished talking.
“Now go out.”
“yes?”
“I don’t need it, so go out.”
“Ah, I see.”
“hehehehe!”
Janice let the caretaker go and came to me humming.
“From start to finish. Everything is done according to the words of Mr. Cabol! You are so amazing! Aren’t you a genius?”
“Aren’t you going to find your things? He said he was looking for a cat’s eye or something. I don’t have much time.”
“aha!”
I answered while looking for Carbol’s book on the bookshelf. Janice smiled and raised her hand. In his hand was a gray cat’s eye.
“when?”
“I got it as soon as I came in. hehehe.”
“How do you know where you are?”
“It’s a trade secret.”
My job is not a thief for nothing. I only had time to hum, but he’s such a great guy.
“I’ll pick out some other things.”
After sending Janice, I shook my head and found a familiar name.
“found.”
Found both of Carbol’s swordsmanship books at once. It was put right next to it because it was well organized.
“Basic swordsmanship of Rodon Kingdom, basic swordsmanship of Gaon Kingdom. it’s okay.”
I didn’t have time to read, so I took a quick look inside. In both books, Carbol’s drawings and writing matched. I put it right in the magic bag.
Janice was watching, while Kaisel was holding an expensive-looking drink in his mouth and stuffing other drinks into his subspace.
– Yuren.
In case there might be something good, Agnes, who had been quiet, spoke to me while I was sweeping the auction items around me into my pocket.
“huh?”
-Go to the right corner.
“corner? why?”
– There’s something that pulls me over there. like back then
Underground Auction House (3)
As I followed Agnes’ words and headed to the corner, I saw various items piled up like clutter. I thought it wouldn’t be put up for auction, so I guess I didn’t organize it properly.
‘Where are you?’
– It’s at the bottom, at the very bottom.
After putting the boxes and stuff aside, I took out only the bottom box.
‘Are you talking about this box?’
-that’s right!
When I opened the box, there were small wooden boxes tightly stacked. The wooden boxes were the same size and shape, so they seemed to contain the same items.
Click.
When I took out the topmost wooden box and opened it, a black jewel with a triangular shape came out.
“This…”
-That’s it, the jewel called me.
[obsidian]
It looks like onyx, but it is a gem with a special power to bring out the latent power of a weapon. Depending on the type of weapon and the degree of use, the type of characteristics that appear will vary.
‘obsidian!’
– Is this obsidian?
‘okay. You, too, have a wonderful sense of smell. good job!’
Obsidian is another name for obsidian. It looks like a jewel onyx, but unlike onyx that has no powers, it is a precious jewel that gives weapons special powers.
Finding obsidian in a place like this felt like winning the lottery. I made an unexpected windfall.
‘Eat now. Agnes.’
-for a moment!
As Agnes had the fire attribute, when he tried to bring the obsidian, she hurriedly shouted and stopped it.
‘why?’
-All of the crates down here. It’s that obsidian.
“what?”
I was so surprised that a sound came out without me knowing. Janice, who had been wandering around, approached.
“Did you find anything good?”
“No, it’s nothing…”
“wow! obsidian!”
As soon as Janice saw the jewel in my hand, she rushed in front of me. His eyes were shining like the obsidian in front of him.
“This valuable item is hidden here. Well, those idiots probably didn’t care much because they thought it was an ordinary gem like onyx.”
“You recognize it too.”
“Jewelry is my specialty. Even when we first met, I was betting on jewelry.”
“It is.”
“Congratulations anyway. You got something good. hahahaha!”
Like the original work, Janice was congratulating her purely because she was only interested in what she had taken care of.
“okay. thanks.”
– Yuren. Stop talking, open the box. there is only now I have to do it now.
After taking the boxes, I tried to go back to Gairin, but Agnes’s voice sounded urgent. It seemed that a certain timing had come that only she could know.
“Janice. Open these boxes.”
“yes? Ah yes. uh? Is this obsidian? Is this also obsidian? Eh, is this all obsidian?”
“okay. Catch it all quickly.”
“Ah, I get it.”
From noble mtl dot com
Janice and I peeled all the obsidian from the box and spread it out on the floor. The number of obsidian was only 16.
“It’s amazing. what a number like this Huh…”
Janice counted the number of obsidian stones and stuck out her tongue, muttering that they were stupid lycans.
‘What should I do now?’
– Paste it all on me.
‘All this?’
-okay. please.
Even if you don’t ask for it, it’s right for Agnes to do it if she wants it. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have been able to find it in the first place.
Whoops.
Agnes changed her body into the form of light. I brought all 16 obsidian stones to the light.
Hwaaak!
As Agnes and Obsidian merged, Agnes’ white light turned black and returned to the bracelet. Attached to the bracelet were small pieces of obsidian compressed.
