Regression Life Starting With Two Traits - Regression Life Starting With Two Traits chapter 99

Episode 100 First Target

On the way to the Gorgon, Baron Bin Salar approached.

“I am Baron Bin Salar. I said hello a little while ago.”

“Yes, you are a merchant.”

I smiled at him and said hello.

“hahahaha, my family is rather famous in the west.”

I asked him who spoke confidently.

“Then, do you know any information about the slaves being traded these days?”

“Are you a slave?”

Surprised by my question, bin Salar jumped up and said:

“The slave trade is illegal. We don’t do that.”

“Yeah, I know. I’ve got some information, so I’m figuring it out. Do you know anything?”

“Does the Archmage know about this?”

“No, Master doesn’t know. This is information that only I know.”

I deliberately hid the truth.

Then bin Salar looked around and lowered his voice.

“Actually, I have heard that information as well. In fact, there were times when we severely punished those who tried to trade slaves in our territory.”

I noticed something odd about his words and asked.

“If you were severely punished, why didn’t you report it?”

It was nothing else, it was a punishment according to the emperor of the empire.

If so, surely you should have reported it?

And if he had reported it, Penzarik would have known and told us, but nothing was said.

“Is there any reason to disturb His Majesty’s mind by reporting?”

Oh my gosh, you’re loyal.

“Then, by any chance, how many cases of slave trade have not been reported so far?”

I asked just in case.

Then he bites.

“About three.”

So far, there has been nothing suspicious about bin Salar.

Min-young also said that he did not feel demonic energy from him.

However, he punished the slave trade severely.

That’s three.

Then it must be that not only slave traders but also those who tried to buy them were severely punished, did they not learn anything in the process?

“Then can we hear what punishment He inflicted on slave traders and traders in all three cases?”

“Until then, it is difficult to say because it is a matter of my domain.”

Why did bin Salar approach me?

I’ve been thinking about it

Currently, I am introduced to them as a disciple of Archmage Penzaric, the owner of the Mage Tower.

A merchant-born baron approached me like that?

“May I ask what kind of items are handled by the baron’s family headquarter?”

“Are you interested?”

At my question, Baron Salar smiled and rubbed his hands.

“Yes, I am curious. It would be nice if it was something that would be useful to the Magic Tower or Master.”

“Yes, yes. Of course it helps. Our top has mines. We mainly trade ore from there.”

If it was an ore, it was worth it.

Ore is used in various ways as a magical material.

Thinking I had the right bite, I set a condition.

“Then, instead of telling Master, can we get information about those who inflicted the severe punishment?”

At my question, bin Salar looked around and put on a troubled expression.

“If you’re in trouble, pretend there was no deal. I’ve heard that Count Gorgonzola has close ties to the merchants, so I’ll have to ask him.”

As I said that and turned around, Baron Bin Salar grabbed me.

“Okay, let me tell you. Instead, you must receive the goods from the Mage Tower as promised.”

“Yes, of course. I keep my promises.”

I reassured Baron bin Salar, who continued to look around.

“Don’t worry. No one can hear our conversation. You haven’t forgotten that I’m the archmage’s apprentice, right?”

“Oh, it’s magic.”

I formed an invisible shield of elemental wind around me.

Baron bin Salar started talking, perhaps feeling relieved only then.

“The merchants hanged them on the roadside outside the castle. As a warning. And the guys who tried to do business with them… … Oh, freeing the slaves and giving jobs to those who wanted them.”

Baron bin Salar added that he quickly released the slaves, fearing that I would misunderstand.

“Yes, you did well. So what happened to the buyers?”

“ah! Yes, most of them are relatives of aristocratic families, so we had to find out and set them free.”

People from aristocratic families would certainly have been hard to touch.

It would be especially difficult if the nobility of the family was higher than the baron.

But what mattered was the reason.

“What is the reason?”

“I’m ashamed to say that because it’s so obvious… … .”

In front of the hesitant Bin Salar, when I tried to slightly turn around, he hurriedly told me.

“I was going to keep her as a maid or servant.”

It sounded like a plausible excuse.

Because it was the most common reason for enlisting slaves.

“It’s an obvious reason. Do you know what kind of family they were?”

At my question, bin Salar looked around once again and said.

“They were members of the Zola family, the Trigger family, and the Sergei family.”

Gorgonzola was natural, and I was sure about Count Gordon Trigger.

The Sergei family was also clearly on the list.

‘Baron Bach Sergei.’

It was a name that was more memorable because of the name Bach.

“So you’re saying that the baron has nothing to do with this incident? You never bought or sold slaves?”

“Yes, I can tell you that with all my wealth and family.”

Baron bin Salar answered without hesitation.

“All right. thank you for telling me.”

“Then, what you promised… … .”

“I will be sure to talk to Master well.”

“thank you. thank you.”

If you can get the ores from Baron Bin Salar, it will definitely help the tower prepare for the war against the demons.

After parting ways with Baron Bin Salar, he stood in front of his first target, Count Gorgon Zola, and his knights blocked him.

“What are you doing?”

“done. Get rid of it.”

As the knights withdrew, the count stood up, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

“I didn’t know that the Archmage’s disciple would come to visit me. Have a seat.”

Then he pulled out the chair next to him.

I sat there and stared at him.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

At Count Gorgon’s question, whose face was full of greasiness, I smiled and brought the subject.

“Hello Cass, how are you?”

Gorgon had nothing to think about.

I’d rather have something straight like this.

While letting it misunderstand in moderation.

“Uh, how!”

The gorgon was startled and was busy turning his face around wondering if he had a neck.

He seemed worried that someone might be listening.

“No need to worry. Because I took action.”

When I showed him how to manipulate the elemental air around us, the gorgon sighed and changed his mood.

“Good luck then. You bastard, are you sure you came to find me?”

do you recognize me

It can’t be.

He had never encountered Count Gorgon before.

His soldiers who saw us were all dead, so we thought their faces would be unknown.

When I was still, the guy smiled and said.

“Did you think I didn’t know? Are you guys the ones who sent those bandits as Easterners? Do you dare to steal from me to the Black Side?”

I don’t know how I knew it, but it seemed like my face was definitely exposed.

I said, thinking that I did well to change Min-young’s face.

“I didn’t steal that. They said they would help me.”

“Do you think you can stop us?”

“Do you think you can succeed?”

As I said without losing, Count Gorgon began to draw demonic energy into his hand.

“As expected, were you a demon?”

“No, I need the power of the demons, so I’m just borrowing it for a while.”

It was unexpected.

Apparently, the demons I met during the Red Moon said that Gorgon Zola was ranked 30th.

“Who is the 30th rank I heard? And if you do something like that at the banquet hall, there will be no turning back?”

With a wink, I pointed to the Pope next to the Emperor.

In the current situation, there was no favorable condition for Gorgon.

“Do you believe that the demon gave you accurate information at that time? And who said there was a fuss? All you have to do is put him to sleep quietly.”

At the same time, a ray of demonic energy reached out to me.

“Where!”

I tried to use the element of wind to block demons and change direction.

The power struggle between me and the Gorgon, who sat across from me, began.

Since they were only staring at each other from a sitting position, others would see them as having a snowball fight.

“To endure this much while using sound-blocking magic, you are a disciple of the Archmage as expected.”

“Are you able to afford it? Are you talking?”

Controlling my mana, I pushed the wind element harder.

Upon entering the 7th circle, the movement of mana became more sophisticated, and the sympathy with the elements became stronger.

Little by little, the Gorgon’s power began to wane.

“Annit!”

The Gorgon shouted in surprise and applied more force to his demonic energy.

Sweat started pouring down his face.

On the other hand, I slowly turned his demonic direction without breaking a single sweat.

Soon, the direction of the Magi that was heading towards me turned to Count Gorgon.

The surprised Count tried to resist, but he couldn’t overcome my strength.

“Hup!”

Count Gorgon, who was struck by the magi he was handling, rolled his eyes on the spot and fell down with his nose on the plate.

I thought he was dead, but since he started snoring, it seems he was trying to use sleep magic.

I reaped the element of wind.

sereung.

“What have you done to the Count?”

One of his knights nearby showed a half-drawn sword and said,

“I didn’t do anything. He fell asleep while talking.”

After hearing my answer, the knight winked at me, and another knight went and looked at Count Gorgon.

“You really fell asleep.”

When the knight confirmed, the knight who was about to draw the sword apologized.

“Sorry for doubting you.”

“it’s okay. You’ve done your duty as a knight, haven’t you?”

I patted the knight on the shoulder and left.

*

“What did you two do?”

When I returned, Penzarik asked.

“The Gorgon knew my face. They tried to put me to sleep and keep me quiet, but I couldn’t.”

“Are you a demon?”

“No, it’s not a demon, but he said he was using their power. I think he has other plans.”

It bothered me that I was borrowing the power of the demons because I needed them.

If so, the information about the demons you met during the Red Moon must be about the demons who made a contract with Gorgonzola.

And Gorgonzola seemed to know about the Red Moon incident.

If you were looking at the situation through the eyes of a demon, it would make sense to know my face.

Since it was us, it was clear that several people were involved.

“There is one thing that bothers you.”

“What is?”

“That Gordon is involved in this case.”

Hearing Penzaric’s answer, it seemed like he knew what his concerns were.

Gordon is originally from a royal family.

A disgraced count who sold his country and came under the empire.

There is a situation that he joined hands with the demons.

This was an act of clear treason that did not need to be recognized.

I had to spy on Gordon too, so the moment I tried to find him, the emperor stood up and drew everyone’s attention.

“Everyone seems to be somewhat full, but now they are thinking of holding a dance while listening to the music. Let the musicians begin to play.”

When the emperor’s order fell, the musicians who were waiting next to him prepared a performance.

And the Emperor looked at me and said.

“First, how about you and our youngest dancing? Thanks to the apprentice of the Archmage, you stopped the monsters from rushing into the capital, so I want to give you that honor.”

What is this again?

I looked at Penzarik in amazement.

Penzaric didn’t expect this, so he just shrugged.

“When are you going to dance with the princess? Did you practice well?”

“Did you only match with Minyoung?”

Then I looked at Minyoung.

It’s my first dance, and I thought I might be upset because I lost my order.

“Minyoung-ah, are you okay?”

“I’m okay.”

Minyoung said with a smile.

I felt sorry for Minyoung, but it was hard to refuse because the emperor himself asked for it.

I approached the princess.

“Princess, would you give me the honor to dance with you?”

As I had been taught by the viscount, I held out my hand with the courtesy, and the princess smiled shyly and took my hand.

“Yes, let’s dance together.”

I escorted the princess to the center of the hall.

Standing in the center, I could see the expressions of the nobles better.

Some looked with envy, others with envy.

And I met eyes with Count Gordon among them.

Gordon was looking at me with an expressionless expression.

“Um, what should I call you?”

At that time, the princess shyly asked a question.

“You can call the princess whatever you feel comfortable with.”

“Then, I’ll call you Sir Yoo Seo-jun. You don’t have a title yet, do you?”

“Yes that’s right.”

The princess carefully put her hand on my shoulder.

I also carefully placed my hand on the princess’ waist and held her hand with the other hand.

When we were ready, the musicians started playing.

The beat was a waltz in 3/4 time.
