“Of course I do. but… … As long as you are bound to this organization, you cannot betray me. Even if you embezzle, you can’t escape, so you’re in my palm.”

“… … .”

After Albert was silent for a moment, Kayneth smiled.

“Keep your books properly written. And within the budget I gave you, buy books so you can learn specialized knowledge. The issue of your wages will be decided separately later. to the next… … .”

Kayneth takes out weapons from subspace pockets.

He handed them to Fade.

“With Mr. Fade as the captain, I will first organize an escort unit for this organization called Arden. You try to build up your physique by alternating between eating and exercising.”

Fade, who put his weapon down on the floor, nodded.

“Okay, this concludes the explanation. Albert, please pay off the members’ debts immediately, and report to me if any problems arise. I will visit here every night.”

“… … All right.”

Albert meekly bowed his head as if acknowledging Kayneth as his superior.

Seeing that, Kayneth nodded with a satisfied face.

“Oh, and make sure to properly check the slum gangs. If possible, I will destroy at least one to make the existence of Ardennes feel threatening.”

“What is that… … .”

When everyone looked worried, Keynes replied with a smile.

“Looking at my appearance, you guys are still young boys… … would have been recognized. However, no matter how you look, I am a mercenary active as a 4th Circle Mage. If you want to, you can annihilate the enemy’s base in one blow.”

“Now, please wait!”

Fade, a former soldier, took a step forward with a puzzled expression.

“Well, are you really saying that you’re an archmage who has reached the 4th circle?”

Kayneth had to smile awkwardly at Fade’s question.

“A great wizard… … . Considering that the mage lord of this empire is the 6th circle, calling the 4th circle an archmage would be a bit ambiguous. However, the fact that I am a 4th Circle Mage remains unchanged. so… … Albert, you’ll be busy for a while, but check out some of the sizable criminal organizations operating in the slums of Karvan. I think it would be more comfortable to show you that part in person.”

“… … If you have information about it, you already have it. I, too, have suffered from them all this time.”

Albert’s answer prompted Kayneth to ask with a small smile.

“It’s good. So, can you give us the location and name of the organization? The organization should deal with it today.”

“… … However, the organization has the background of the Spey One family.”

Kayneth frowned at the word ‘Spay One’ and shook his head.

“Then, let’s leave them out. Clashes with the Spey One family are pretty dangerous.”

Albert had no choice but to agree.

No, it’s not just Albert. Everyone in this place must have known about the organization Albert was about to talk about, but for a moment, his complexion hardened.

“Excluding those guys, the organization called ‘Celtrocell’ must be the largest. These are the guys who rule the slums in Districts 11-13.”

“Hoo?”

“Since it is headquartered in District 11… … .”

“It just happens that the areas overlap.”

Kayneth smiled coldly, and Albert nodded once.

“Besides, if we can destroy it, we will be able to pay off a large part of our debt as well.”

At Albert’s remark, Keynes clapped once and drew the attention of the audience.

Damn!

“great. Fade, do you know where the base of the organization called Celtrocell is?”

“… … yes.”

“Then, Fade, please follow me as guide. The rest of you can go back to your own homes, tell the people you live with about Ardennes, and move here by the day after tomorrow.”

When the poor people who became members of the organization nodded in unison, Keynes turned her gaze to Albert again.

Episode 14

14. Ardennes (3)

“I will visit this place every day after 11pm. Albert, please report to me from time to time the part of the budget and the life of the organization.”

“All right.”

Albert bowed his head.

It seems that the story that he worked for an aristocratic family is not a lie. The energy in his tone and manner seemed distinctly different from that of other poor people.

“Okay, Fade. I ask for guidance.”

Fade nodded while swallowing once.

Celtrocell with over 500 members. They are a large-scale criminal organization that goes into five fingers in Karvan City.

In particular, the head of Celtrocell, whose main business was the distribution of drugs, was a high-level expert.

“There’s no need to make a big fuss for nothing, you just need to hide around.”

“… … All right.”

Fade passed the streets full of crime and entertainment and pointed his finger at a building that looked like a huge mansion.

“That place… … It is the headquarters of Celtrocell. In addition, we have 37 branches… … .”

“Do you all know where the branch is located?”

Fade shakes his head at Keynes’ question.

“I know of only eight branches.”

“Then, let’s take care of that place first today.”

Fade couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by Kayneth’s plain remark.

but… … .

‘If you really are a magician of the 4th circle, Keltrosel would be nothing.’

Fade said he would check the boy’s ability with his own two eyes.

The existence that helped the poor with a huge amount of money and accepted them as members of an organization called Arden. He identified himself as a mercenary, but do you know how common 4th circle mercenaries are?

Even more so, his age seemed to be only in his early teens.

“You wait here.”

Keynes left a word for Fade, and immediately approached Celtrosell’s headquarters.

OK… … .

“Ah? What else is this asshole X?”

Around Celtrosell headquarters, criminals who looked like rice cakes were waiting.

Nevertheless, Keynes approached the main gate of the headquarters.

He reached out his right hand to a stick of rice cake approaching him and placed his palm on the guy’s abdomen.

“What are you doing now… … .”

“Element Magic – Lightning Shock.”

Pajijijijijijik!

“Kwaaagh?!”

Close-up magic corresponding to the 2nd circle. Paralyzes the opponent’s entire body with a powerful electric shock.

Of course, if the intensity is severe, it is said that death occurs.

‘Murder… … .’

It’s something you’ll have to get used to at some point.

As the background is between ancient times and the Middle Ages, Keynes knocked the rice cake sticks down on the floor as if experiencing a real battle and entered the building.

“what? That little boy… … .”

The three-story Keltrocell headquarters building.

On the first floor, numerous men were burning drugs, drinking and gambling.

But now, countless eyes were focused on the front door.

It must have been because of the screaming sound of the rice cake stand a while ago.

After Keynes took out the staff from the subspace pocket in her arms… … .

“There are too many. It would be cumbersome to deal with them one by one… … . Element Magic – Frozen obe.”

Created a huge block of ice in the air.

At that moment, the inside of the headquarters went into a commotion.

“bye.”

At the same time as Keynes muttered, a huge block of ice with a diameter of 3m, which was blue, began to rotate at high speed, and soon scattered sharp ice fragments in all directions.

Pasa sasa sasa sasa sasa sasa!

hundreds… … No, thousands of small pieces of ice pierced the men’s skin.

Screams from all directions.

And was it because of the commotion on the first floor?

Ain, an executive at Celtrocell, who was rushing down from the third floor through the central stairway, couldn’t help but open his eyes wide at the sight of his subordinates strewn about on the first floor.

“Eh, what is this… … .”

Bubbly.

“Whoever sees… … It is not the end.”

Covering his entire body with a cloak, Kayneth aimed his staff as he approached Ain.

“Yes, who are you!”

“I am the leader of an organization called ‘Arden’ located in District 12. I came to say hello because you guys are in control of the slums in Districts 11-13.”

“Oh, Arden?”

Ain frowned at the unfamiliar organization name.

but… … .

“The slums in District 12 are managed by Arden from now on. You guys need to vacate the room.”

“What nonsense… … !”

“Element Magic – Ice Spear.”

Whee ae ae ae-!

“… … ?!”

When Kayneth casts his magic, Ain rolled on the floor in amazement.

A huge ice spear was embedded in the wall.

At that, Ain turned his head away in a cold sweat, but Kayneth looked at Ain and put a staff member on his shoulder with a relaxed expression.

“I just never thought I’d get away with it.”

Ain swallowed his saliva at Kayneth’s remark.

‘fast.’

A huge spear of ice reaching 3m.

Avoiding that must be seen as the result of pure luck.

Ain glanced at the ice spear embedded in the wall and tried to step back.

Then Kayneth shrugged and pointed at the window.

“I won’t let you live. Go out and tell the trash in the slums that District 12 is managed by Arden. And as an example, this organization called Celtrocell disappears from this karban today.”

“… … .”

“go away.”

Ain rushed to the window without hesitation at Keynes’ cold words.

And when Ain disappeared, Kayneth took a look at the corpses around him.

I clenched my fists for a moment as the feeling of vomiting was rising from within.

Bodies I saw for the first time in my life.

Certainly, the feeling itself was different from killing a demon.

However, he endured the nausea that was about to come out, and while wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he immediately went up to the third floor, the top floor of the building.

that buck

“… … Are you here?”

A huge door with a different size and splendor than other doors.

As Kayneth tries to approach the door… … .

Tuquaang!

“die!”

A middle-aged man broke down the door and rushed in. As if it was waiting.

Keynes quickly rolled back and swung his staff.

“Element Magic – Lightning Wall!”

Pajijijik!

“Ahhhhh?!”

“I already sensed your presence!”

A huge barrier of lightning was created between Kayneth and Celtrocell’s leader, Vesta.

Vesta could not control its speed and collided with the barrier as it was, screaming loudly and turning into black charcoal in the blink of an eye.

Kayneth frowned at the sudden smell.

“X feet… … . Oooh!”

I began to vomit at the first murder I had ever experienced and the smell of burning corpses, and soon I wiped the tears from my eyes with my sleeve.

‘If I had learned swordsmanship… … .’

The feeling left in my hand must have remained like a trauma.

However, just seeing it with my eyes, hearing it with my ears, and smelling it seemed to have already created a big trauma.

From noble mtl dot com

Kenneth wants to be comforted by someone right now.

A woman appeared in his mind.

‘… … sister.’

Thinking of Sophia, Kaynes swallowed and looked up at Vesta’s blackened corpse.

And even yank! I turned my head and went straight into his bedroom, which was furnished with expensive furniture and artwork.

Kenneth started looking around the bedroom.

Moments later, he found a huge safe beyond the closet.

“Element Magic – Shock Wave.”

Quaang!

A melee magic that fires shockwaves.
