Episode 384 Us (3)
“The labyrinth has been closed.”
“The character moves to Lapdonia.”
Sunlight in the city seen for the first ti in two months.
Maybe it’s because I spent ti in Atlante in the dark sea until the end, but the light only feels bigger.
‘As expected, people have to stick to the light.’
Like other explorers, I hurriedly moved to the checkpoint while looking up at the gloomy city sky.
“Here it is!”
Erwen, who had arrived earlier, saw and waved.
As we joined and stood in line, Alia arrived soon after.
“You’re late.”
“Unexpectedly, it took a while to find it.”
Answering that, Alia winked at the navigator standing on the right with an awkward expression.
“Once, it’s true that you rode the sa District 7 plaza as us.”
“This guy doesn’t lie.”
How long has it been since you t him, you say so confidently?
I was a little dumbfounded, but I asked without showing it.
“…was there any problem though?”
“Not at all. They didn’t go anywhere else, they waited in place and waited for to co.”
Alia’s voice was full of pride sowhere.
Are you really glad you listened to ?
On the other hand, the navigator Auyen Lockrobe seed to be belatedly hit, but…….
“Hehehe…….”
As soon as our eyes t, he smiled and smiled for business.
Hmm, looking at sothing like this makes a little sad.
Since he is one of those who targeted us first, he thinks that he is self-employed.
“Now it’s our turn.”
After standing in line, it was soon our turn and we exchanged all the magic stones we had collected for money and passed the checkpoint.
And a street full of people appeared.
Here, we changed the formation a bit and moved.
A composition with Alia at the back and the navigator in front of her.
“Haha…… Oh, even if you don’t, I won’t run away……”
“Because I might get lost while following you.”
“I’ve only lived in District 7 for 20 years…”
The navigator muttered sothing softly, but he didn’t leave the formation until he reached his house after passing through a street full of people.
And…
“You an here…?”
A three-story detached house arrived soon after.
The sailor who passed the high fence and entered the garden yard opened his mouth in admiration.
But did he sense sothing out of place while watching?
“Hey, but why are all the windows…”
The navigator blurted out, unable to finish his words.
His gaze was fixed on the window that was blocked by the board.
“Never mind. It’s for security.”
“Oh yeah…”
He didn’t say anything, but the navigator’s eyes and expression coexisted with curiosity and fear toward us.
What the hell are they doing, they wonder why they live in a house like this.
‘Coming to think of it, it seems like you’ve already figured out who Erwen is…’
I’ll have to check this later.
Once through the garden and into the house, after so discussion it was decided to place one of the remaining rooms for the navigator.
It was a room in the basent.
“…underground? Did we have a basent?”
As I tilted my head and sent my gaze, Erwen blushed shyly.
“I deliberately found a house that exists. Just in case you don’t know……”
Is that so…? Well, I’ve heard that
rich
families have a panic room for evacuation, but…
While feeling uncomfortable, I watched Erwen remove the carpet and manipulate the device to make the stairs.
Going down, there appeared a space that seed to be designed to be used as a warehouse.
It was empty because it hadn’t been filled with anything yet, and there was a thick iron door with a padlock on the wall at the deepest part.
clap.
Erwen took out the key and opened the door, revealing a room with a large bed.
For so reason, there were also restraints on the wall.
“This… is not a room, it’s a prison…”
The navigator’s face turned white when he checked the assigned room.
Actually, I felt the sa way.
For so reason, goose bumps ran down my spine as soon as I saw the basent room.
Well, now it’s a place that has nothing to do with .
“…A prison? It’s just an ordinary room.”
“…….”
“Look over there, isn’t there a toilet and a bathroom. It would be nice because no one else but you will use it.”
“…….”
“Keuheumhum Then I’ll go up first. I’m suddenly not feeling well…….”
Ugh, why is my heart beating so fast?
I don’t even have claustrophobia.
I quickly put the navigator into the room and shut the door, and Erwen quickly locked the lock.
clap.
“Now hold on! Hold on!”
Bang bang! There was a knock on the door by the navigator, but we all ignored it.
“Can I manage the key?”
“Please.”
With Alia taking over the key, the problem of the navigator’s residence is over.
He will take care of what he does now.
In fact, I’ve been curious about sothing else for a long ti.
“Emily, is there really such a poison? I’ve never heard of people dying if they don’t take the antidote every day.”
Isn’t this like the solitude of martial arts?
In the Demonic Cult, it was a typical cliché to threaten mbers of the political faction with this and use them with hands and feet.
If it really existed, I wondered if it would be helpful in various fields in the future.
But…
“Suits, you also have a naive side.”
“…huh?”
“There’s no way such a poison exists in the world. Fortunately, that guy doesn’t seem to know much about poison.”
“Ah…”
Then it must have been a bluff.
Deep down, it seed like there was a possibility, so I finally confird it, but—
“Yes?”
Suddenly, Erwen flinched.
“Isn’t that poison…?”
A voice filled with deep sadness.
Erwen averted his eyes when I turned around and asked if there was sothing he needed because sothing was bothering him to just skip it.
“Ho. Maybe you don’t know……”
So what you don’t know.
I wanted to ask in detail, but I stopped because I didn’t think I would get a proper answer anyway.
***
After returning to the labyrinth, everyone spent the first day relaxing in their respective rooms. And from the next day, it was busy.
The loot you got this ti should be one or two.
“Erwen, let’s go together.”
“Eh? ? Anyway, you alone are enough—”
“You an you can’t do that for Shuitz?”
“……That’s not what I ant.”
From the 2nd day, Erwen and Alia went out all the ti to exchange loot for cash, and I spent most of my ti watching over the house.
“I’ve prepared the food to be fed in order on the Shuitz table, so take care of it when it’s ti to eat while I’m gone.”
Except for going to the basent every morning, noon, and evening, there was nothing to do about the day’s routine.
However, on the third day, a guest ca.
“Raven.”
“I was originally going to co yesterday, but I was a bit busy. Can I co in?”
“Of course.”
As soon as I went inside, Raven looked around and asked .
“How about two?”
“I went outside for the spoils.”
“Hmm…”
He muttered with a slightly strange feeling.
I asked if there was sothing wrong, and Raven replied that it was nothing.
“I just wanted to see that those two are now doing what I used to do.”
“I’m sorry at that ti. You were the only person I could trust and entrust that part to.”
“I didn’t an to get an apology. More than anything… it’s not sothing to be apologized for.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
After guiding Raven to the living room, we sat facing each other.
And we briefly talked about each other’s current situation.
“How was it?”
“It just went well here and there. What about you?”
“This side is the sa. Well, it’s not a war that will end in a day or two.”
“Right.”
“…….”
A sense of distance felt sowhere different from when we were friends in the past.
It’s probably the sa for him.
Since we were both in the labyrinth, it’s almost like we’ve seen each other in two months.
thump thump!
Then I felt a vibration from below.
“I think I heard so noise from the basent…”
Oh, and then it’s past lunchti.
“I did sewage work a while ago, and I think it’s because of that. Never mind.”
It was a bit like saying honestly that they were imprisoning people, so I just covered it up.
Fortunately, Raven didn’t seem suspicious either.
Anyway, after that, we naturally had a conversation, and in the process, we were able to hear what had happened on this expedition.
Well, the important information cos at the very end.
“Oh, and Yandel… No, that’s what Mr. Schuitz asked about.”
“Is that it?”
“Isn’t it about ethnic incorporation?”
“Did you find out who brought up the subject?”
“Yes. Countess of Pevlock.”
“Peprok…?”
As soon as I heard it, I wondered what it was.
After all, it was the surna of soone I was close with.
Ragna Litanyel Peprok.
I wonder if they just have the sa last na, but this question doesn’t go away.
When I checked before, there was no aristocrat nad Peprok anywhere in Lapdonia.
“What is the na of the Countess Raven?”
“Ragna Peprok was definitely nad that.”
“……what?”
is that really him?
Because of that, the middle na was omitted…
“…Do you know soone?”
“Maybe. Could you explain to what kind of family Peprok is?”
“It’s a common fallen aristocratic family. It disappeared from the royal family’s aristocracy and was reinstated a year ago without anyone knowing.”
Well, then you ant that it was obvious that I couldn’t find it when I checked.
Could it be that the real Countess is Ragnar?
When I was repeating such troubles in my heart.
“I didn’t quite understand that part, so I did more research. Fallen nobles sotis do lottery tickets, but how did they build a position enough to participate in the royal council in such a short period of ti?”
Raven lowered his voice and continued.
“The answer was simple. There was a back stomach.”
“Who was it?”
“Marquis Tercerion, Chancellor of Lapdonia.”
“…what?”
Your head suddenly gets complicated.
Countess Peprok is the sa person as Ragnar. Secondly, if Raven’s words are true, doesn’t that an the Countess belongs to the Chancellor’s clique?
“Then… I guess it ans that it was the chancellor who insisted on the issue of incorporation into the nation…”
Raven shook his head slightly as I unknowingly spat out my thoughts.
“No. That’s a bit ambiguous. The Pri Minister himself said that as soon as the issue of national integration ca to the fore, he imdiately shouted at for talking nonsense. The other nobles were also surprised by this, and they imdiately fizzled out.”
“Maybe it was just a performance.”
“Performance…?”
“It was said that it might have been a planned play. By showing your anger, you’re nailing it in advance so other nobles don’t think of anything else.” ”
Ah…….” Raven
opens his mouth as if he’d never thought of that.
……?”
“Rather than that, I’m just interested in people.”
Of course, this is just speculation, and I don’t know what it will be like in reality.
I still have too little information.
“A little bit about Countess Raven Peprok . Would you like to investigate further?”
“I will. I also have a lot of uncertainties.”
“Thank you always.”
“Then I’ll go now.”
“Okay, be careful.”
The eting with Raven that day ended there.
And the ti passed. A week later,
Erwen and Alia headed to the comrcial city to collect the proceeds from the sale of loot. One sunny afternoon,
Kwaaang-!
Knights with royal family patterns engraved on their chest broke down the front door and broke into the mansion
. I’m arresting you on charges of collusion with Noark.”
After that, yes.
It’s finally here.
