Baron Howard Solon looked at Count Elio Lagoa with resentful eyes.
To be a servant to someone who has been given the title of Baron.
Of course, there was a proviso that ‘until the hundred gold is repaid’, but considering the pride of the nobility, it was like a death sentence.
Elio asked with a sullen face.
“why?”
“I am the Baron.”
“so?”
There is no law to make a noble a servant.
The butler who handles chores is also a nobleman, but he is not a servant.
But I couldn’t bear to say such a thing in front of the grumpy Count Elio Lagoa.
Because he was really treating himself as if he were an ordinary fraudster.
Of course, since I made a bet of 100 gold with less than 20 gold, I have nothing to say if I am treated like that.
“… … no.”
“in conclusion? “Is it tongue or paper?”
“You can serve the adventurer like a servant, but according to imperial law, you cannot become a servant.”
It was Baron Howard Solon’s last pride.
If he was beaten to death, he would die, but he did not want to acknowledge himself as a servant.
“I know that much. All you have to do is be a slave. Stay out of my sight until you repay the hundred gold. Oh, of course, the exception is when you sleep or go to the bathroom.”
“All right.”
“Go and rest.”
Only then did Baron Howard Solon trudge back to his seat.
Crea whispered in his ear.
“sorry.”
“Okay. “What kind of money do you have?”
Rather, he felt ashamed because he seemed to have dragged Crea into something shameful.
“I can help you with about ten gold pieces. Still, it must be difficult, right?”
A wry smile appeared on Baron Howard Solon’s face.
The total of ten gold is only thirty gold.
To be honest, it took even a year or two to raise money worth seventy gold.
Moreover, now I have to serve Count Elio Lagoa.
Even more so, making money is wrong.
Now the only way to survive is to find treasure.
If it is the treasure of the Abyss, it will be able to escape from the hands of Count Elio Lagoa.
Crea seems to have thought the same thing.
“If we find the treasure in the Abyss, everything will be resolved.”
“It’s a shameless request, but please help me just this once.”
“Okay. “It will be fine.”
Tain-rok, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said with an indifferent face.
“I will help too.”
Frankly, it’s not for Baron Howard Solon.
He wanted to watch Count Elio Lagoa, a Reiki practitioner, up close.
Of course, it was to find out the secret of his Reiki training.
To do so, he had to remain in the company of Baron Howard Solon.
“Thank you.”
Baron Howard Solon accepted his favour.
I know that his willingness to help me is not out of loyalty or affection for me.
He could have refused out of pride, but right now, the priority was to find the treasure of the Abyss and free himself from the hands of Count Elio Lagoa.
In this way, Baron Howard Solon and his group were reunited just before they were disbanded.
That night.
Fabian, who was tossing and turning in bed, asked Count Elio Lagoa.
“Lord Lagoa, why do you want to keep Baron Solon close to you?”
“Because if you leave it alone, it will die.”
“He himself is a Sword Beginner and has a friend? “It will be easy to pass through a major forest.”
“Mercenaries are targeting Mr. Crea.”
“ah… … .”
Only then did Fabian realize why Count Elio Lagoa had bothered to make Baron Howard Solon his servant.
He wants to keep him by his side because he feels like he will be killed by mercenaries if he leaves.
“Are mercenaries that bad?”
“uh.”
“They are great guys.”
“It’s annoying. Should I just kill him?”
“Lord Lagoa has never killed a standing opponent first, right?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
“Just do what you do. There is no need for Lord Lagoa to change because of those guys.”
Fabian dissuaded Count Elio Lagoa.
That’s better than having to take the first step and be uncomfortable.
“Anyway. By the way, why does Shastra Parakti suddenly want to meet me?”
“Isn’t it to praise them for killing the sun god? “This is the first time in history that a human has killed a god.”
“I guess that’s not it?”
“why? Lord Lagoa did what no human being could accomplish. That’s the stuff of legends. Well, even if I told you, no one would believe me.”
“That’s your opinion. I have made an appointment with Manaptras and Shastra Parakti. I decided to deal with Kama Devias and Ushas Undra. “I just finished one of my appointments, so why should I congratulate you?”
“Because that’s a huge deal.”
“It’s the same for other people. Not for me. Shastra Parakti also knows that much. “She didn’t even say she would do it if it was too difficult.”
Fabian looked at Count Elio Lagoa with new eyes.
I was amazed that it wasn’t difficult even after achieving this legendary achievement.
“Is that conceit? Is it humility?”
“Neither. “I’m just telling the facts as they are.”
“If it was impossible to do, you wouldn’t have asked Lord Lagoa, right?”
“I know yeah. But why are you suddenly coming to see me? “I haven’t kept all my promises yet.”
“Do you think I might ask you another favor?”
“I don’t know that.”
“No, before that. Is there anything worth doing?”
“If you look for it, it’s not something you can find.”
“What is it? “I don’t know what is big enough to ask Lord Lagoa for.”
“Do you remember what Duke Killian Hale said last time?”
“You said so much.”
Fabian scratched his head as the conversation with Duke Killian Hale didn’t immediately come to mind.
At that time, Count Larva Omar, who was listening to the conversation between the two, intervened.
“Lord Lagoa, do you believe that the sun god has been contaminated by the dark ether?”
“yes.”
“The dark ether is the power of Shaitin, the evil god… … . “You think that the splitting of the Sun God’s ego was Shaytin’s work.”
“is not it?”
“It is quite possible. “If you are the evil god Shaitin, you can corrupt the sun god.”
“also… … .”
“Are you afraid that Shastra Parakti will ask you to deal with the evil spirit Shaitin?”
“what do you think?”
“I guess it depends on what Shastra Parakti thinks of Lord Lagoa. If she believes she can win against Shay Tin, the evil god, she might ask. But even if that were the case, I don’t think I would.”
“why?”
“If Manaptras is ‘light,’ then Shaitin, the evil spirit, is ‘darkness.’ I don’t think Manapthras will get rid of the darkness just because it doesn’t like it. “For it is the nature of Manapthras, the creator god, to achieve harmony.”
“Then why did you ask me to deal with Kama Devyas and Ushas Undra? “You’re leaving some people alone for the sake of harmony, and eliminating others?”
“Maybe we are moving within what we can handle. Shaitin, the evil god, is an absolute evil that even Manaptras cannot handle.”
Fabian shook his head as if he agreed.
“you’re right. If, by any chance, Shastra Parakti asks you to deal with the evil spirit Shaitin, refuse unconditionally. “That is truly without conscience.”
“I think so too. “I’m scared of Shaitin, the evil god.”
Elio shook his head vigorously.
Just looking at the dark ether gave me goosebumps, but Shaytin, the evil god, must have been horrifying.
***
Humans, blinded by greed, race towards their goals even though they know the danger.
Just like a moth to fire.
The mercenaries did that.
When Baron Howard Solon served Elio, the two groups naturally merged.
In addition, priests and paladins of Shastra Parakti accompanied the stagecoach.
From the mercenaries’ point of view, it was literally like losing two chunks of their noses in the finished porridge.
It would have been easy to give up, but the mercenaries did not do that.
It was a sight to behold, and as I continued to see Crea up close while accompanying her, my desire reached its peak.
The fact that priests and paladins of Shastra Parakti were seen and talked about also played a role.
If they had acted with Stagecoach, the desire might have died down.
However, because the practical stagecoach was faster than the luxurious carriages of the priests and paladins, the priests and paladins did not join the stagecoach group until nightfall.
Three days passed with tension that was difficult to describe.
5pm.
Four stagecoaches entered Kruli, the southernmost city of the Shade Kingdom.
The sky was already dark, as if it was about to rain heavily.
The stagecoach stopped in front of a tavern with the rather languid name ‘Peace’.
Ironically, heavy rain poured down before the passengers even got off the carriage.
Shoot!
The road quickly became a sea of water due to raindrops the size of thumbs.
The adventurers and mercenaries roughly covered their heads and ran to the shabby tavern.
Gurgling! Kkkwang-!
The thunder was loud as if there was a plan.
Elio and his group, who were from the North, glanced out the window with curious faces.
Wouldn’t it be nice if it were snow?
This is because it is truly rare to see water pouring down from the sky like that.
Transport Director Rein Hyde approached the young adventurer, who was also an apostle of Shastra Parakti.
“I don’t know if the carriage with the priests will arrive in time.”
However, Elio was rather calm.
“It will come by itself.”
Reinhyde returned with a puzzled expression at the young apostle’s indifferent reaction.
Angus, the leader of the Stan mercenaries, looked out the window and spoke to the vice-leader.
“Priests can’t come, right?”
“I guess so.”
It was raining so hard that I couldn’t see ahead.
On days like these, the carriage has no destination and the only option is to find a safe place.
Considering that the priests usually joined after about two hours, today was wrong.
“An opportunity like this will never come twice.”
“Wasn’t it a great forest?”
“Tsk! “In the Great Forest, they will move as one body. Do you think they have a chance?”
“then?”
“I’ll have to do it tonight. “If we accompany each other longer, the Paladin may remember our faces.”
“What about the apostle and his party?”
“Use medicine to put him to sleep, then take Baron Solon and his group with him and deal with them separately. Then you will think that Baron Solon ran away because he did not want to be a slave.”
“As expected, the leader’s resourcefulness is amazing.”
“Take care of your drink later. “It’s important, so don’t tell someone else to do it.”
“Yes, I will handle it myself.”
The corners of Louis Kast’s mouth turned up.
As his nickname, Luo Lui, was, he was well versed in using drugs.
I didn’t know that he was harmed even after he used his hand.
Moreover, in a place with so many mercenaries, it was not unusual to use medicine on adventurers.
Elio, who was eating bread dipped in an unidentified stew, suddenly raised his head.
“Fabian.”
“yes?”
“What do you think about fate?”
“If you have something to say, don’t ask, just say it. “I’m tired of thinking.”
“I think I did well not to change it as you said.”
“What?”
When Fabian asked again, forgetting what happened a few days ago, Elio waved his hand.
“no. “Just eat it.”
