Episode 64. It’s right here in front of you (1)

Leganon couldn’t believe it.

The Birang people left Hakoz Village.

I didn’t even know where it went. This is because they moved while thoroughly erasing all traces in order not to give any room for pursuit.

Even that alone made my head hurt, but the knights of the Vident family appeared in Hakoz Village. In search of the Birangs that no one should know about.

“By the way, the two of you, Keter and Luke, captured all the knights of the Vident family… … ?”

I don’t know where the hell things went wrong. I never made a loophole, and I never made a mistake. When I just woke up, the tower I had built had collapsed into rubble.

Leganon was too nervous to stay still.

“Since I don’t know where the Birangs are, I won’t be involved with Sephira. But how did Bydent know that there were Birangs in Hakoz Village and came to visit him?”

I don’t know.

But it was foolish to ask the Vident family what happened.

“Vident thought that I would not handle Keter properly, so he sent a secret team of knights, and accidentally discovered the traces of the Birangs… . I can’t explain it any other way. Heh heh, how can you be so unlucky?”

Leganon was the worst thing imaginable. The secret power and allies needed to save Sephira have disappeared.

Vident, who had not directly pressured Sephira at Leganon’s request, was now a sure enemy, and would soon apply pressure.

“I have no choice but to call Keter and ask him. You have to listen to the context before you can devise a strategy.”

On that day, I couldn’t bring it because it overlapped with the call of the family, but now I had to bring it by any means.

“Sir Gant. Even if you use force, you must bring it.”

“I take orders.”

So, Gant led two galactic knights to visit Keter.

“Keter. This is an order, not a request. You will regret it if you do not follow me.”

At Gant’s shocking words, Zach was more angry than Keter.

“Sir Gant! Excuse me? Even if it’s Elder Leganon’s call, consider it the duty of a knight to forcefully intimidate Master Keter like this!”

“Leave Deacon Zach. This is a serious matter.”

Gant glanced at his subordinate. It was when the men tried to pull Zach by the shoulder.

Keter began counting quietly.

“5, 4, 3… … .”

At the end of 3, Keter’s regime was uttered.

The knight who held Zach’s shoulder with his left hand blocked the regime with his right arm. It was the reaction speed and response that could be called a three-star article.

however-

oops!

The knight’s plate gauntlet was dented first, and his arm twisted grotesquely.

“Hup!”

The knight who breathed in the wind hurriedly stepped back.

Seeing this, Gant’s brow narrowed.

The response of subordinates was excellent. If I had not backed down and held on, I would have broken my arm.

“To say punching, which seemed simple, was a skill, so it seems that you learned martial arts as your main focus.”

Gant could understand. Fists and kicks are man’s primal means of attack. In other words, martial arts that the lower classes could easily learn were martial arts.

“Do not tamper with private property. Fingers next.”

Zach hurriedly stopped Keter’s warning.

“young master. You shouldn’t fight. These are the Galactic Knights, the main force of Sephira.”

“Do you think I will lose?”

“Regardless of winning or losing, don’t we get along well?”

“What else am I… . Without them, Sephira will not perish.”

Gant thought he had enough mercy.

“Elder Leganon said that if you refuse the call, you can use force. How dare a bastard disobey the elder’s call? I won’t make you pay for it.”

“Wait, mister. I haven’t turned it down yet.”

Gant pulled out his bow, but Keter spoke calmly.

“Then please follow me. My purpose is you, not Butler Zach.”

“You got it? First off, Luke! Why don’t you come in now?”

Keter said to the door.

Then the door slid open, and Luke appeared with a puzzled expression.

Luke and Gant’s gazes crossed. Gant glared at Luke, who tried to ignore his gaze as he approached Keter.

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to watch it, but I thought things would get weirder if I got involved.”

“I’m not interested, Mr. Why don’t you wait outside? I’ll change my clothes and go out.”

“Do you think I’m going to fall for some nonsense? I know you sometimes go out through the window.”

“Would you be able to write an article with such prejudice? I swear by Sephirah that I won’t go out through the window.”

“hmm… … .”

As Keter swears by Sephirah, Gant was also troubled.

‘Keter. I must have realized your subject.’

No matter how much you fly and crawl, you are a gangster in the lawless city. It was clear coincidence and the power of Amaranth that caught the knights of Vident.

He must have realized the difference in power after seeing the Galactic Division’s potential.

“If you don’t come out within 5 minutes, I will tie you up and take you away.”

It was an oath made in the name of Sephira. If you violate it, you can be expelled from Sephira.

Since Kether, who wanted to be a parasite on Sephira, would not give up Sephira’s name, Gant had no doubt that Kether would come out.

Gant took his men out.

“young master. What’s going on with Elder Leganon? Why are you trying to take the young master by force like that?”

“You said it when you first met. That old man must be a traitor? I was impatient to deal with it before I was exposed.”

“Are you saying I should believe that now?”

“If you don’t believe it, you will only lose yourself.”

“Um, change into clean clothes first. I don’t know why Elder Leganon is looking for it, but I think we can solve it by talking.”

“That’s what I mean. Anyway, I have a request for you.”

Zach felt ominous.

“You’re not going to escape through the window, are you? Didn’t the young master swear by Sephira’s name? Failure to do so will result in immediate expulsion.”

“Who goes out the window these days? childishly.”

Keter suddenly overturned the carpet on the floor.

“Oh no?!”

Zach was frightened. I wondered if there was a hole in the floor to lift the carpet out of the blue, but it wasn’t.

“The magic circle!?”

Even Zach, who was unfamiliar with magic, knew that what was behind the carpet was a magic circle.

“Do, did the young master engrave it? When and how!?”

“Don’t you know that a business card is the symbol of a wizard? And if you are a wizard, how to draw a teleport magic circle is a must.”

Keter stood at the center of the magic circle and gestured to Luke.

Luke’s misfortune alarm rang loudly. Even if it wasn’t a misfortune alarm in the first place, Luke was very anxious about the unknown magic circle.

“Keter. What the hell is this magic circle?”

“Teleport magic circle. You can go directly to my office in Liqueur. How about it, isn’t magic really great?”

“No, wait. Are you actually activating this yourself? As far as I know, teleport magic is a very high-ranking magic, and I heard that it is dangerous!?”

“It is difficult and dangerous. Even a wizard specializing in teleporting has a 1% chance of failing.”

From noble mtl dot com

When he said there was a chance of failure, Luke swallowed.

“Sir, what if it fails?”

“If you’re lucky, you’ll buy it right away, if you’re bad… I’ll leave it to your imagination.”

“I don’t want to imagine… . Can’t we just take a carriage ride?”

Of course, Keter can’t fail. In addition to having 50 years of magic experience, the interactive teleport magic circle was a powerful magic tool and had fixed coordinates, so there was no chance of failure.

Keter said as she grabbed Luke by the back as he tried to leave the magic circle.

“Inspired. If the Mojiri outside come in, please tell them.”

Whisper.

Hearing Keter’s words, Zach’s complexion turned white.

“That, how can I say that!”

“I believe and go.”

Keter clenched her fists. I held out the Accra ring I had received from Basil in advance.

Originally, it was impossible to enter the inside of the liqueur with teleport magic.

However, it becomes possible when the Ring of Accra intervenes. And vice versa. This too was an experience from a previous life.

bang! Pajijijik!

I hit the center of the magic circle with my ring-clad fist. Scarlet sparks explode! Then, the figures of the two disappeared.

“young master? young master! Did you really go!?”

Left alone, Zach looked around to see if Keter was playing a joke, but he was gone.

bang!

Belatedly, Gant opened the door roughly and entered.

“Keter! As promised, 5 minutes passed. Come out right now!”

But there was no Kether.

Gant smiled.

“Stupid bastard. Did you escape through the window? I’m going to turn it off on my own in Sephira, that’s it.”

At Gant’s words, Zach sighed and left.

“Mister Keter did not go out the window. Aren’t all the windows closed in the first place?”

“Do you think he believes you, his butler?”

“If you went out through the window, there would be witnesses. Check it out, and that… There is something that Master Keter left for Elder Leganon.”

“The guy who ran away was shameless. What did you say?”

Zach sighed again, hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

“… He said, ‘I’ll be there soon, so please wait.’”

Originally, ‘Hey, you traitor bastard! Stay there! I’m going to take the army and blow off your heads!’ But-butler Jacques was slightly tempered for the peace of the family.

* * *

Jigsaw Jigsaw! cooong!

Two people appeared from the air with orange sparks.

“Wow.”

As soon as we reached our destination, Luke vomited. Nausea was one of the side effects of teleporting.

“Hey- how long has this been? Oh right. It’s been four days.”

“Ugh, Keter. Where the hell are you?”

Luke’s head ached at the musty smell of wood and stinky cigarettes.

“Welcome – stranger. This is the famous Lawless City liqueur, and this is my office.”

“liqueur? Isn’t it absinthe?”

“It’s an imitation city built next to absinthe liqueur, and this is the real lawless city.”

“ah… … .”

Luke brushed his hair and tried to come to his senses. Then I looked around.

messed up All kinds of junk was rolling around on the floor, and in the middle of the room was something that looked like a table.

“therefore… You mean you work here?”

“This is a kind of reception room.”

“The table is made of bones… Aren’t they human bones? Ugh! What is that green liquid on the ceiling?”

“Slime, he’s a cute guy. I’ll eat the corpse clean. My name is Popo. Popo, wujjujwu.”

Keter held out a finger, and the green liquid dripped from the ceiling and covered Keter’s finger.

Chi profit.

“Ha ha ha, kid. It’s cute to see you after a long time.”

“Hey, where does the smell of grilling meat come from?”

“Popo- Enough.”

Popo obeyed Keter very well. It clung to the ceiling again.

Keter laughed and said.

“Would you like to give me a finger? Eat very well.”

“… I’m done.”

Luke touched the bone table and got goosebumps.

“Keter. In this table… I hear a voice begging me to kill you… ? Is it hallucination?”

“It’s a table made of Death Knight’s bones. Everything here is either a relic or a magic tool, so handle it carefully. If I made a mistake-”

“… Did you?”

“The name of the chair that goes well with this table will be Luke.”

“omg!”

“Does the youngest want to stay outside?”

Keter opened the door and left.

Luke raised his head, and before he knew it, he saw Popo above him. When our eyes met what looked like green eyes, Luke was startled.

“omg! Go, go together!”

Luke quickly follows Keter.

The room next to the guest room smelled even worse. It looked like it had just smoked.

“This is my main receptionist… … .”

There was one person at the reception.

He was Keter’s henchman, blind man.

He couldn’t see his face because he was covered with a hat, but looking at his body, he looked like a very normal boy.

He was sleeping in a lionskin chair with his legs resting on the desk.

“Hey, yumma. Is it very good to sell?”

Keter sat down in her chair and tapped the man who was giggling. Then he twisted his body and muttered.

“Um, I’m not doing business, so get out of here.”

“Did you forget my voice in four days?”

Keter kicked the chair. The youngest, who was leaning his feet on the desk, rolled on the floor unsightly.

“Oh my tailbone! who is this! I know who I am!”

“Do you know who I am?”

The blind man jumped to his feet and looked up at Keter.

“what… … .”

The young man had an innocent face.

A naive young man who doesn’t fit in a lawless city.

The young man muttered as he looked at Keter.

“Is it a dream? evil!”

In the end, he was a blind man who only came to his senses after getting a honey chestnut on his head.

“Seeing how painful it is, it’s real. No bro! what? Why are you here so early? He went to a prestigious family and said he would never come again.”

“You man, it’s really nice to see you after a long time.”

“Has it been four days?”

“There is such a thing, man.”

Keter tousled the young boy’s fluffy hair.

In his previous life, the youngest child helped himself until the very end. I don’t know if he finally lived or died, but it was Keter who never forgot his gratitude.

“Maknun, our maknun. How are you?”

“… What did you eat wrong when you went to a prestigious restaurant? what is that I was eating, resting, and working as usual.”

“It is also our blind eye. Are you the best among my men? Ace, Ace!”

“Give money rather than praise… It’s a joke.”

“Right. It should be given in cash, not in words. Now, you’ve been through a lot.”

Keter immediately took out a 1,000 gold note from her chest and handed it to the youngest.

It was a huge amount, but the youngest child rather looked suspiciously and refused to accept it.

“older brother. You promised not to take it from me.”

“Don’t take it, man. It’s yours.”

“No, why are you giving me this? Didn’t you do anything particularly well during those four days?”

“It was good that you were just alive, that you were by my side.”

“Have you been brainwashed by the Sephira family, why are you like that?

The youngest stared at Luke, who was standing shyly.

“There, Sephira Knight. What’s your relationship with Keter?”

Luke pondered for a moment on how to describe his relationship with Keter.

“I am a friend, but… It’s still closer to getting to know each other… … ?”

“Aye. I thought I was new again. You are my brother’s friend. What is your name? Just call me Mak-Nun.”

“Luke. There is no last name. Since I am a knight, I would like to honor you. Could you tell me your name?”

It was the first time Luke had ever seen Keter like someone like that. There was no way I could comfortably call such a person a blind man.

“It’s comfortable to be called a blind man, but… Call me Daat, then.”

“Daart. i look forward to.”

“to… I don’t really like articles.”

At that, Keter interjected.

“You’re blind. Be nice to Luke. A knight is a disguised identity. A giant.”

“You say it sooner. be friendly If you have any questions, just ask.”

“I still have a lot of questions.”

“Come on, let’s build friendship between the two of you later, maknuni. There is a reason I came back. I’m going to participate in the Southern Sword Tournament.”

That was the end of Keter’s explanation.

Luke was dumbfounded. With that said, what would Daat know?

It was at that time that Luke tried to explain instead.

“Ah, so you came back. Wait a minute. that’s probably… that’s right. It will be over there.”

The youngest acted like someone who had heard everything and knew what Keter needed.
