Episode 327 Ouroboros (2)
It was like a monster that had lost its life.
Shaaaaaa-!
Jero’s body, stretched out on the surface of the sewer, is split into small particles of light and flutters away.
A few items did not disappear and remained in place, but most were of no value. All equipnt such as swords and armor that looked expensive were wrapped in light and disappeared.
‘Is this blues…….’
There was a guess.
It may not be that important now.
“…….”
“…….”
Silence filled only with the sound of running water in the sewer.
Auril Gavis, who was smiling as if he had paralysis on his face, opened his mouth.
“I ask you, are you a demon?”
It was not a question, but a final confirmation.
Well, if you’ve co this far, you must have already been convinced that Nivelz Enze, a 6th-level explorer who couldn’t be found in the city, was the ‘Iron Mask’.
‘Nevertheless, the question is whether I am the iron mask or I want to hear it with my own mouth…’ Having
witnessed the royal family’s strongest knight rendered incapacitated with a gesture of his hand, I activated the Bavarian Confucian skin mode and put my mouth on his face. opened
“An evil spirit? I don’t know where you misunderstood, but it’s not. Elder.”
Gavis, who would be awed by my polite tone, spat out a sound as if it was absurd.
“You’re lying.”
Hu was also able to run the lie detector here too.
It was what I expected in my heart, but when the attempt went in vain, my appetite was a bit bitter.
However, there was no room for frustration.
Hey, this isn’t a community, is it?
Otherwise, physical problems may arise.
That’s why…….
“Whoops, you can’t fool the elders either. You’re amazing.”
Change your stance quickly.
It is highly likely that deceiving any more will be perceived as deception, so it is judged to admit what is acceptable.
“Yes, I am the person you were looking for. I was embarrassed because I did not know how to et outside, so I couldn’t tell you honestly.”
“They said it was because they were embarrassed…”
“Yes, because they were embarrassed. And I didn’t an to tell a lie, did I?”
Aurl Gavis laughed at my bold question.
“Heh, yeah… Co to think of it, I didn’t ‘lie’.”
Yes. I didn’t lie then.
You asked about the state of the city?
The lord of the castle replied that the attack was carried out in collaboration with the royal family.
About five or six months ago, he replied that he had been asked if a barbarian had co in, and when he asked for the na of the barbarian, he kindly replied, ‘Thor’s son Bjorn’.
“Yes, I said it was in front of the elders, but I couldn’t lie at
all—” “By the way.”
“…yes?”
“Do you know how much worse it feels to be tricked that way than to be lied to?”
“Ah…”
is the rationale.
It’s not that there isn’t a breakup law.
“……sorry.”
First of all, after putting the apples on.
“I have a ntal illness.”
attach the reason
“…psychosis?”
“Yes. Since I’m trying to live here, why do I keep cheating on soone regardless of my will? I shouldn’t live like this afterward…” It’s a
kind of dispersion of responsibility.
If the environnt made this way, then it was this old man who put into that environnt.
“Heh heh…….”
Auril Gavis, who had beco the first person in charge in an instant, laughed.
Fortunately, this ti, his eyes were also smiling.
On the contrary, it seed that the situation was funny even to himself when he went out so boldly.
Okay then, the atmosphere must have gotten a bit more harmful now…….
“Rather than that, did you co here because of ?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, it feels a bit like you’re doing a background investigation like this…”
I blurted out the tail of my words and looked at as if I was burdened, and Aurl Gavis coughed.
“Keuheum But if I don’t do this, I won’t be able to et you.”
“Yes? Ah… that’s right. Why did the community suddenly close down there? I was thinking that maybe the elders kicked out.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, there was a situation.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I’ll just say there was intervention from the royal family. Now it’s a situation that has been restored to so extent.”
“Oh, then from next month, can we see you there?”
“That’s not true. I passed ownership to a friend a while ago. You don’t know, but I’ll be hard to see now.”
“A friend… Are you talking about the GM?”
“Perhaps.”
Afterwards, I beca curious and asked who the GM was, but Auril Gavis didn’t answer.
A secret I can’t tell you.
Rather than feeling like that, it was more like pouting.
“Well, there’s no reason to keep it a secret… but find out on your own.”
“yes?”
“If you only see as a trade target, then I can’t help but do the sa.”
“Ah yes…….”
A nobleman who is over 300 years old would be upset about sothing like this. It’s wrong to be deceived by wearing a lie reader or sothing.
“But how long are you going to use that tone?”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that what you said there? It’s awkward because you use that tone for so reason because you feel like soone else.”
“Haha, the elders are also true. It’s just a concept there.”
“concept?”
“Yeah, it’s like another character. It’s like the weak’s struggle to not look down on them. There’s no way I’m going to be rude to the elders just because I’m crazy, right?”
“Hmm, I don’t know, but I think I can guess what you’re trying to say.”
Auril Gavis nodded quietly.
And without saying anything, there was a mont of silence.
It took so ti for his mouth to open.
“Anyway, the reason I ca to you like this is to start our relationship again.”
The wording is as if you are slurping on your ex-lover.
“……yes?”
As I couldn’t hide my embarrassnt, the old man quickly added an explanation.
“I want to have a friendly relationship with you. It’s clear that we can help each other, but wouldn’t it be frustrating to have a relationship that only revolves around each other?”
“Ah…….”
“So I’ve prepared a present for you.”
“If it’s a gift…”
I unknowingly flinched at that word.
Should I say that I was also worried while looking forward to it?
I can’t read what you an.
“Don’t be nervous. Nothing bad ever.”
“Could you elaborate?”
“You know, I want you to open the door to the abyss. I said it was a gift in that sense, but it’s also for .”
Oh, why are the words so long?
“I see. So what?”
“It’s a skill that will be of great help to you in hiding your identity in the future.”
Having said that, Auril Gavis briefly explained the ‘gift’. To sum it up, it was that he would use his authority to give a permanent buff.
“So, if you receive it, you won’t be affected by things like ‘verification’ magic, or even interrogation-type items like ‘mistrusted trust’, right?”
“That’s correct. It’s because it puts a protective shield on the body, but it won’t work if the mind is open.”
“Are you in an open mind?”
“The place you’re called every month, for example.”
Oh, it doesn’t work in the spiritual world.
Then it would be impossible to tell a lie at the round table.
“So what about my gift?”
I pondered briefly.
It was undoubtedly a very useful skill.
Did you say it with your own mouth? Really, after receiving that gift, you won’t be subjected to such things as ‘mistrusted trust’.
But…
‘Apart from that, it’s like doing sothing secretly.’
I don’t know much about magic.
This ans that if Auril Gavis planted a location tracking virus or sothing along with the gift, there would be no ability to detect and remove it.
And the problem is…
‘That I can’t refuse.’
He is an old man who sent the Knight of Light to the goal with a beckoning shot.
Simply put, if he had an intention to harm , he could make it co true even if he pushed it by force.
“Okay. So, are you doing it right now?”
“That’s… actually already done. As soon as I et you again in the sewers.”
“Yes? But I didn’t feel that way…”
“Because that’s my specialty.”
Oh, I see.
I thought I didn’t have a choice from the beginning.
‘This feels a bit dirty.’
For so reason, he said it in the past tense.
***
After the discussion about the ‘gift’ was over.
Auril Gavis said rightly.
“I’ll tell you in advance, but I have no intention of forcibly controlling you.”
It was good news when I heard it.
I don’t know how long that word will be kept, but isn’t it better than threatening to strangle with magic right now?
“As expected, he is an elder. I respect him.”
“Heh heh…”
I said it out loud and the old man laughed humbly, but in the end we both knew it was nonsense.
However, in social life, pretense is also polite.
Ha ha ha ha I laughed and organized my thoughts.
There were two options going forward.
1. “Haha, it was nice to et you. You said you didn’t do it by force, right? Then I’m busy with work, so let’s go. Please be healthy!”
Sohow drop Auril Gavis and move to rescue Alia.
and…….
2. exploitation of the elderly.
To get help from Auril Gavis.
It didn’t take long to make a decision.
I tried to avoid it, but in the end, didn’t I face it again like this?
It is impossible to even secretly remove it.
Even if I chose number 1 anyway, it was clear that this stalker-like old man would follow from behind.
‘I’m sure the iron mask covering my face will fall off if that old man decides… If I go that far, finding out my na will be a piece of cake.’
I thought that if I was going to give it anyway, it would be a reasonable choice to give it and receive sothing.
‘Now that it’s like this, let’s suck the other side.’
After making my decision, I opened my mouth cautiously.
“I… the old man.”
“Oh, tell .”
“Can I ask you a favor? If you listen to this, I’ll tell you my face and na.”
“Face and na…?”
“Yes, haven’t you always been curious about
it?
” Let’s do one thing.”
Gavis didn’t respond to my suggestion.
He just stared at .
This ti, this bastard is trying to do sothing again, but with a look like this.
***
At that ti
. Alia, who was running, stopped walking.
“Why did you suddenly stop…?”
I couldn’t hear any signs of movent around .
However, one of the essence’s abilities that had been active from earlier beca inoperable.
So again Say…
“He’s here.
”
The traitor Ricardo Lüchenpraha is
nearby .
I heard it first, but Alia shook off her worries.
Didn’t she say she would believe it?
That
wasn’t what she needed to worry
about right away .
It was
because she had once told the sisters that Ricardo Lüchenpraha was after her in
response to a question. “Alia Laura”
”
…yes yes!”
“Listen up.
We are almost there . ”
I’ll try to stop it sohow.”
The sisters’ reactions were divided into two.
“Why did Emily-sama treat us this way…”
Her childhood self was at a loss.
When she heard that she was left alone, she worried. But Laura, the older sister, was different:
” Alia,
co here
.
”
I ran into the aisle,
Laura had it.
There is only one thing that is far more important than personal feelings.
“…….”
Alia watched for a mont as the sisters grabbed their hands and ran away.
It ca to my mind clearly without even closing my eyes.
At the end of that dark passage.
The mories she went through at the end.
Can I really change that future?
I didn’t know yet.
But…
“They must be precious children.”
A man’s low, low voice.
“Very well done.”
Ricardo Lühenpraha, the man who turned his head and looked at him, was smiling.
“Because I can tell you what it feels like to lose.”
Alia energized the hand holding the dagger.
