Duke, Please Repent! chapter 56

66. The Duke and the Trap Investigation (3)

No matter how much you change your hairstyle and attire, it is still the face that plays the biggest role in distinguishing a person.

Oh!

Serpens, who was staring at me with a dissatisfied expression, let out a small sigh as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Then the glasses he was wearing

I take it off and put it on me... .

Huh? Duke, is this irresistible?

Of course, isn't it?

Serpence replied as if it was insignificant.

I heard it and it is It's not like anyone else, isn't it a Serpence full of divine power in her body?

He must have had a superhuman level of physical ability, including hearing, but it was absurd to say that his eyesight was bad.

'Before possession, I corrected my eyesight with glasses

Is it because it was used for... .'

Naturally, I thought it would be the same.

Then what's the story behind these glasses?

Not at all.

This setting is

I looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Serpens ignored it.

He just nodded his head to see if he was satisfied with the water he had created and smiled proudly.

"I think this is enough.

And this is a bag containing the transaction amount. There are papers on the floor, so don't show me the details.

No, I'm nervous... Don't leave this to me!

It's just in case. The location of the documents that need to be replaced is also written in it, so if it's still there, Lord Rivelon, please do your best.

Even though there was no one around, Serpens lowered his voice and spoke as if whispering.

It smelled of crime.

'This isn't something [assistant, please corrupt!] .'

If it wasn't for the fact that the demon appeared in the dark district, I would have persuaded him to hold onto Serpens and repent together and push the dark district away!

However, it was self-evident that if a demon was summoned in a distant place, not in a dark place, the damage to civilians would increase.

'Hey, I don't know! it will work out somehow!'

and currently.

I was alone at the meeting point.

'There's a serpent hiding nearby.

Are you not alone?'

This time, he also had two top-level defensive scrolls in his arms, and Serpence decided to help him right away if he felt any danger.

Still, I can't help but be nervous. Strength entered the hand holding the bag.

Are you the one who promised to make a deal today...?

When I turned around at the voice I heard from behind, I saw a boy about 15 years old, startled for a moment.

Watching his eyes move up and down for a brief moment and scan my whole body, my bizarre outfit

seems to be perplexed by

"Yes, but I didn't know that such a little girl would come, didn't you?"

"If that's the case the product is bulky, so you can't take it with you? So, we have to move in our wagon, but when an adult arrives, we become a little wary . Children of the same age are in charge."

It's not like that, it's probably because you're planning to cut off the tail if you do.

In this case, should I curse the adults who use children as criminals?

Should I curse the sassy guy who adds a hand to the slave trade in that age group?

' I don't think there's such a thing as a youth protection law in this world.'

I don't know if I'm really ignorant and helping, or knowing and helping out, it wouldn't be extenuating.

More than that, you have to move in a wagon? Can't you just bring it out? One person... or one, doesn't it matter?

We always deal with only the best products, but you'll be completely satisfied with what you see and choose.

I had heard of moving places before, but I pretended not to know and flicked it once.

Perhaps there were a lot of traders who were wary like me, and the boy answered as if he was used to it.

If that's the case...

Nodding his head as if he understood, the boy immediately led me to the prepared carriage.

Considering the last time we went together in the dark, Serpens would be able to follow a moving wagon.

And even if you miss it, you know where you're going, so you'll come by yourself.

"But are you here alone?"

" huh? Then who are you coming with?"

"If you don't have an escort or something that's fine."

Hey, hey! Of course he does! Look at my attire! I look like a non-escort without a single escort

Just as a peacock shows off its tail feathers, I also spread my arms and open my chest to show off the jewels on my clothes.

Dreaming of a crime that saw my dignified figure

Mu's expression turned into absurdity.

Ah, haha... So where's the escort? You can ride with me in the wagon.

"Hey, he's a little too shy .

Where in the world is there an escort who hides away from the object of protection and hides his face?

The boy's face was colored with bizarreness, and his eyes began to look like, 'So what can I do?'

"So I'm going to jump."

Yes?

Ahaha! That's right! Yes, I understand. Then, get on the wagon.

Perhaps the boy dismissed my sincere words as mere pretentiousness, and a smirk appeared on his lips as he opened the carriage door.

This world that doesn't believe even if you tell the truth is savage.

At an age when she should have been naive, she must have become like that because she was hanging out with a slave trader.

'There is no one in this world who needs to repent

So many... .'

When I got on the carriage, I found that there was only one light on the inside, and there was no window, and the whole area was completely closed.

From the outside, it looked like there was a window, but it must have been a decoration that made it look plain.

Since the purchasing class is wealthy people, it seems that they paid attention to the carriage, but as I was used to the high-end carriage of the Duke of Pracidus, the ride was the worst.

'Aside from the fact that my butt is bloated, I feel like I'm going to vomit because of motion sickness... !'

Every time the wagon rattles, I'm in vain

made a gurgling sound. The boy was pinned into the corner of the carriage, and his complexion turned blue.

Thankfully, the carriage stopped before I could get upset.

Ugh, it feels like the ground is shaking... . Aren't you familiar with carriages? I can't! I can't see this dress, this wagon I'm riding in doesn't even compare to anything like that...

Yeah, of course you do. It's time to look at the Zaize products. Let's go.

A boy supports me as I stumble

What looked like an ordinary family house went into the water.

Anyone who sees it would think that the drunken brother was dragged home by the younger brother.

Oh, our wonderful customer! Welcome. Is this your first deal today?

What, right?

As I opened the door and stepped inside, a shaggy-looking man greeted me with a somewhat exaggerated tone of voice.

The interior of the building was just as plain as the exterior. I can't pinpoint what to say, but I felt something foreign.

'It's more like a model house than a house where people live.'

A man guided me towards the basement. The boy gave him a small whisper, and stayed upstairs.

_ get on-.

The door connecting the basement and the first floor was closed.

The stairs were too long for the basement of an ordinary house.

While I was going down the stairs, I could still hear a voice talking about something, but by the time I stepped on the last step, I could feel the iron dragging on the floor.

I couldn't hear anything but sound.

A fishy smell, whether it is blood or rusted iron, pierces the tip of his nose.

The basement was lined with iron bars like a prison, and armed guards stood in front of it.

It wasn't as good as Count Pgnuto, but he had a strong appearance, and he was very intimidating.

'Of course, it is not the case that the people trapped in the iron bars were talking... .'

They must have shut their mouths to the guests while chatting, or they must have forced the people inside to be quiet.

'By the way, how does Serpence follow you all the way to the basement?'

If he does, he will be able to detect my threat from above, but it seems that there will be a certain amount of time difference until it arrives.

Haha, it looks like you have a bad complexion.

I got a bit of motion sickness when I came here... .

Hey! It seems that our carriage was uncomfortable. Next time, we will prepare so that you can come more comfortably.

Of course it is.

Of course, there is no next time.

It was a separate story from Serpens's decision to capture them.

Considering the current situation, they will certainly be closing their business for the last day of today's deal.

'To talk about the next time, it must mean that they want to sell at my price by emphasizing that they are still in good health.'

They won't be able to sell it anyway, so if you ask them to cut it down, they're only hurting themselves.

Come to think of it, the clothes you are wearing

Seeing the tea overflowing... . Do you think the family has considerable wealth?"

"Actually, a lot of iron ore in our estate a while ago , heh heh! I thought you were doing this a secret?"

Oh, of course! Even if you know it, it's just a story between us, and you can rest assured that it will never leak out.

If the deal is canceled or if a complaint is made later, it will be used to bring up the family name.

Or close your business and try to get help by pulling you in as an accomplice when you're on the run.

all or

'As soon as this transaction is over, shall we find the estate where iron ore was recently discovered?'

That's why people shouldn't do bad things recklessly.

It may be just one deviation for me, but the moment I get caught in it, I fall into a bog from which I can't get out.

'By the way, isn't this enough?'

The evidence seems to be enough already, but how come the serpenes don't come?

'Isn't it possible that he left me alone and started tampering with evidence?'

I got anxious for nothing, so I grabbed the bag with the documents tightly. Once I have the documents to replace, I think it's a little comforting to think that it won't be.

There was a possibility that Serpens had prepared the documents separately, but still .

"Are you worried?"

"Yes?! Oh, no. Not at all! What do I have to worry about?"

Of course not. There's something really great out there...

snorter?

I haven't heard of such a thing.

No matter how much Serpent has mastered magic, did he not reach the inside of the straight corridor, avoiding the guards' eyes?

Yeah, really... Khuh, it's a really expensive item. If you're interested, would you like to take a look?

Perhaps he accepted my doubts as curiosity, the man said with a savage smile.

I wonder what the heck is there to say something like that, I freeze my head down

Thanks to him, he almost pushed me in half and led me inside.

Come on, over there... Can you see it?

It's dark and I can't see anything...

Hey! I'll open the iron cage, so let's take a closer look.

Until that much...

Okay, it's safe.

Seeing him open the iron cage while saying that, I think I know what will happen next.

I saw the guards who were standing far away slowly walking this way.

all.
