37. sweeping operation

May disappeared.

I wanted to kick them right now, but they’re not stupid and there’s no way they’ll stay where they are, and even if they catch them, they’ll come back out soon.

“……”

After being immersed in thought for a while, the dean glances at the heavy atmosphere.

Because I readily admitted that this situation would not be resolved simply by me going and destroying everything.

I said the name of the one that popped into my head.

“What? This doesn’t exist. Because that person is risking his life right here…”

The dean replied that he would put in contact for now even though he put on a puzzled expression at the name of the person he had never imagined.

“I’ll be in Elgrid anyway, so please tell me to come within an hour.”

“OK got it……”

As I walked out of the dean’s office, it was clear where I was going.

It was a dormitory.

According to the dean, even Mei’s friends don’t know where she was taken.

I was beaten like that and ran away, but it would be strange if I knew.

I didn’t even expect that much from them.

But there was someone in our dormitory who might have known the location of the new home of the Velon Chamber of Commerce and of Zavalanko.

dormitory roof.

Sen, a girl with bleached white hair, who was sitting on the railing and staring blankly at the sky.

He asks if he saw me coming up from the roof, just by the sound of the door opening without paying attention.

“What do you think? Did you realize the reality of Elgrid?”

“Did you know it all?”

You must have known this result from the moment I told you to hand it over to the guards, so you must have put on such an ambiguous expression.

“I think I have a connection with the captain of the guard. I don’t know how deep the relationship is, how they give money, etc.”

It seems like he doesn’t really care.

“Because I don’t need to know that anyway.”

He slowly turns his head and looks at me.

“Did they really have anything to do with fighting dogs?”

“……”

Sen, who thinks I already got the information through Zavalanko, takes a stab at it.

Yes, I know about the relationship between Zavalanko and the fighting dog, but I didn’t intend to tell you right away. Because this was the biggest bargaining card for me.

But when he shuts his mouth, Sen smiles, saying it doesn’t matter.

“I’m going to go today anyway and make Zavalanco confess everything.”

“It would be impossible.”

To be honest, it’s true that Sen is strong, but he answers calmly. Having dealt with Sen as well as Javalanco, I knew clearly who was stronger.

“Hmph, no matter how strong your opponent is, they’re all the same person when they’re sleeping. There is no answer to assassination.”

“……”

“Isn’t there anything you can do anyway? So just watch.”

As soon as I took the posture that I would not send it like this, I opened my mouth again.

“Eh, is it because of that girl, Mei?”

Coming down from the railing where he was sitting, Sen shakes his butt and sighs.

“There will be a huge carriage leaving the east gate at 8 o’clock this evening. May is riding there. Probably being sold as a secret slave to a nobleman. Even so, the appearance is quite flat.”

Sen adds that he is also from the Plov family.

Apparently, Mei had already left Zavalanco’s hands, so he seemed to be willing to give information about her.

“Don’t be too overconfident in your skills.”

“Sounds useless.”

Ignoring the advice, I came down from the rooftop, leaving Sen staring blankly at the sky again.

8pm tonight.

I didn’t find out where Javalanco was based, but I was able to get the most important information, so I ran straight to the dean’s office.

There, with the dean, there was a woman wearing glasses waiting for me with anxious eyes, biting her nails.

*

Rumble rattle.

The carriageman belonging to the Belon Company yawned and drove the horse through the already darkened streets of the night.

Usually merchants move when the day is bright and camp or stay homeless when the sun goes down, but they were different.

Since I was dealing with so many illegal items, moving at night was the default.

‘Oh, I can’t even smoke. I can’t even hug a girl.’

Cigarettes are so poisonous that if you smoke them, your skin will rot and get cracked, and you shouldn’t touch the woman of the Plov family because they decided to sell it to a nobleman who likes virgins.

“Tsk, it’s a quality product.”

Short hair with reddish brown hair with a slight wave. It was a man’s taste from the start of the strong face, but the rice cake was not edible, so it only tasted sweet.

When we arrived at the east gate, there were guards guarding the gate.

If it was the original, you would have to go through the whole carriage to check it, but since the guards and the Bellon Company have a close relationship, all you need to do is show your affiliation card.

“Hmm?”

But today the atmosphere was strange.

For some reason, the guards didn’t ask for the back money differently than usual, and they stood there with a tense expression on their faces.

“Hmm, the inspection begins.”

“Yes?”

It could be seen that the reason was the woman wearing glasses with a Wendsen impression.

A slightly emaciated figure and dark circles around the eyes.

However, the upright waist is proudly straight without being servile.

The carriageman riding Mayflove shouted in bewilderment as he saw the people trying to check instead of the existing guards.

“Everyone, who are you! What is it that you want to take a look at my carriage!”

Then the woman raised her glasses slightly and glared at the coachman.

“Heiny Rosales, I am an Inspector of the Royal Family. Today is the day of the Elgrid Guard’s unsuspecting inspection, so we supervise it.”

“What, what?”

What a sudden situation!

No, an involuntary check?

at this timing?

The carriageman looked at the guards as if they were going to shoot them to death, but they just bowed their heads and had no intention of doing anything for the carriageman.

“Inspector! Here the girl is in custody!”

At the sound of the young boy’s voice, Hyni’s eyes lit up and looked at them.

“Is this, it looks like I caught a big fish?”

Hyni’s eyes flashed coldly.

After finding out the carriageman’s affiliation and the current location of the Bellen Chamber through interrogation, Heini, who came to investigate the relationship between them and the guards, has been nailed down.

“So, is this the end?”

He shook his head, taking off the clothes he was wearing, pretending to be her soldiers.

“Okay, this is just the beginning.”

“I was dubious, but the things in the wagon were just really dangerous… and there were some that weren’t.”

Heinie sighed as she glanced at Mei, who was trembling.

It wasn’t like the guard’s ignorance check today.

Pretending to be Highney’s knights are me and Mei’s gang.

In reality, it was just that Heiney personally wielded power using her ID.

It was simple how Heine came to help me, with her arms crossed, growling, and staring at the guards and wagoners.

She is now framed as a suspect in the death of Phenyl Reiros.

Because of that, the Reiros family was constantly pecking her, and in order to somehow clear her name, she stayed in Elgrid to investigate the case without returning to the royal family.

So I made an offer that I couldn’t refuse to her, who came to the dean’s office.

To inform you of the true culprit who killed Phenylreiros.

Knowing that the fighting dog had killed and left, it was a hand that only I could use, and Highney asked.

The reason why this was a deal that was only profitable for Highney was that it was also about the corruption of the guards and the arrest of drug dealers called Bellon Sanghoe.

‘Don’t let me come out this time.’

Yes, you paid money to the frugal power of the guards and did what you wanted, didn’t you?

I’m sorry, but there is power above power.

If you’ve been flying around cawing about the dirty crow, not knowing how high the sky is, you should stop now.

“……”

In a dark room, a wooden ceiling falls off, and through the gap, a girl descends into the darkness with her white hair flying.

A black cloth covering his mouth and a dagger worn around his waist.

She glanced around, identified a man sleeping snoring, locked the door, and installed an artifact to keep the noise from leaking outside.

From the moment I came down from the ceiling to the moment I walked around the room.

She didn’t breathe and looked like a ghost, but her eyes looked down at the man coldly.

‘First, take the medicine.’

A torture drug used by the Scourge that causes the intestines to boil and melt when eaten.

It was a cruel drug that forced anyone to spit out information in pain that would last until death if they did not take the antidote.

“Now, then…”

The moment he was about to restrain himself, Sen’s wrist was caught in the thick man’s hand.

“I thought some little kid sneaked in and messed around.”

One-eyed Zavalanco, who had his left hand broken by Daniel and was in a cast, glared at Sen with a smile.

She hurriedly shook off her hand and pulled herself back, immediately pulling out the dagger and holding it in both hands.

“You were awake?”

He thought he couldn’t have noticed his stealth, but Zavalanco tapped himself on the nose.

“Seafarers like me are sensitive to smells. In the sea, you can tell the weather that day just by smelling it.”

“……!”

It was the first time I had heard of it, but it really didn’t matter much.

The door is locked.

The noise here doesn’t count outside.

If the floor thumped because of the rough movement, the floor below could have wondered.

‘I don’t have that far.’

After all, he has only one eye and can’t even use his left hand.

Even the weapon, the cutlass, was not a problem because I did not put it next to the bed, but comfortably next to the fireplace.

‘I can win unconditionally.’

Originally, for the Reaper, an all-out battle was postponed until the very end or only unfolded when there was certainty of victory.

And Sen, with that confidence now, went forward.

Knock!

“The bastard hit me a few times, so I’m looking at you as a pet.”

Sen, who rushed in, was snatched by Javalanco’s right hand and floated up in the air struggling.

A dagger that was dropped with too sudden shock.

I twisted my body somehow, but the man was like steel, not even moving.

“Very funny. What the academy kid friends are trying to do with this body that even became an executive of the pirate lord.”

‘Pirate lord’s executive?!’

Zavalanco belonged to the pirate lord?

His head thought it was nonsense, but his body acknowledged his strength.

This man is strong.

That too to an unbelievable level.

In particular, if you were an executive of the pirate lord, you could call it the elite among only 10 elites.

However, no matter how high he is, he is only a prospect for the Extermination Team.

A kid who hasn’t even become a regular member yet.

No matter how much the enemy used only one hand, even if it was easy to aim for a blind spot due to the lack of one eye, Sen was not a person that Sen could deal with.

‘There’s no way Dan doesn’t know this?’

As Sen struggled, in his fading consciousness, he wondered why the Scourge hadn’t given him this information.

“It’s an assault!”

“Hey, it’s a surprise! Respond!”

“Aios students!”

There was a commotion on the floor below.

Who is it?

Among the students of AOS Academy, only one person knew that he was here.

I wondered if Daniel McClane had come to visit.

“sen! Where are you?”

The voice of Ares, Daniel’s childhood friend, echoed from the floor below.
