Duke, Please Repent! chapter 57

14. The Duke and the Trap Investigation (4)

As expected, the identity of the expensive things he said was me.

I was almost thrown into the cage, shoved into the cage.

Oh, my pride...

How the hell did you look at me like water, to lure me in such a frivolous way? And why am I hooked?

"Isn't this the guy who has completely lost his fear head?"

Okay, I admit that.

From what I can see, it was just a bit harsh. At the thought of Serpence watching, he must have been unconscious.

Tonight is an unconditional quilt kick angle.

It's too late to admit it now, gang ho. So who's been alone in a place like this for a long time?

I'm not alone...

I guess that's what you want to believe.

A mean smile appeared on his face, who had just seemed like a shrewd salesperson.

The guards giggle and laugh behind him], there really is no cliché.

'I'm going to have a blast for the last time anyway, so getting my ransom is more profitable than selling my slave, isn't it?'

A poor man who can't control himself after sitting on a money cushion by unexpected luck, isn't he a great hogu?

Besides, since you've just touched money, it must have looked like you didn't have a proper backyard.

'Oh really . Pretending to be alone inside

I'm done 1, I'm embarrassed to die 1.'

Recently, I was overconfident of myself because all the predictions I had in mind came true.

However, it was only possible because I was ahead of others in information.

Still, I acted as if I was a genius.

Hey, nobleman. So where is your family?

The man squatted and asked, looking me in the eye.

'Serpence anticipates this situation and

Did you send me?'

If so, let me tell you in advance.

Anyway, since this has also added to the confinement of the nobles, isn't it time to save them?

"Why no answer?"

"This guy, is he completely out of his mind?"

As I was hugging my bag in the same way I fell, I was so shocked that I thought I had lost my mind.

If you look around, you'll find something like a family mark.

Hey~, besides, look at the jewels on the clothes! Doesn't it look pretty savory even if you take them off and sell them?

"Yeah, and let's check how much money we have in the bag."

''That's not right!

Other than that, the bag was a bit difficult.

After cutting off their conversation, I jumped up and gave more strength to the arm that was holding the bag. In that state, when I slowly pulled back, the guys burst into laughter mixed with ridicule.

"Come on, wait! Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know, so you're trying to figure it out from now on, aren't you?"

I didn't know it was going to be like this, and I didn't even decide on a family name, but it was scolded.

' By the way, did you say that the serpents of the settling have missed this?'

Haven't you thought about it until now?

To be thorough, Serpens, the original tower of the [Master of the Holy Sword], couldn't have predicted that something like this would happen.

'I mean, I meant to save you before this happened, so why didn't you come? Maybe something happened to Serpens... . no not yet

Is there no one who could be a threat to Serpence?'

Of course, no matter how strong the serpents are, there is nothing that cannot be suppressed if you properly organize a raid squad.

'But if there was such a big commotion, no matter how underground it was, it wouldn't be this quiet.'

Doubt bit his tail, but let's take some time because we have to live first.

Hey, it's difficult to do this... Is it not okay to do this to customers? Trust is life in business!

Oh, if the customer quietly cooperates, we will take only what we need and release it safely.

Come on, boss! Come out boss, huh)], what kind of customer service is that?

The boss? Ha! The head office went bankrupt, so what's the point? There's nothing we can do if we want to start a new business together.

That guy must have been the branch manager.

- Whoops, whoops-.

I heard a rumble from somewhere, so I looked up and saw one of the guards loosening their knuckles.

They seem to prefer fists over words as a way to get what they want.

Help me?

Then~, of course, I have to save him. How much is the ransom?

Am I really going to be scared now?

"Foot! Only now?"

"Aren't you there? No one?"

At first, they answered my words one by one, but in the middle, they looked at each other's faces to see if something was strange.

At the same time, holding the index finger and turning it round and round from the temple side... .

I'm not crazy... ! No, is it better to leave it crazy here?"

{The Duke told me to tell you to use the scroll.}

"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

Wouldn't it be better to just say you're crazy

As soon as I thought about it, I heard an auditory hallucination from somewhere.

Are you saying that, you really didn't mean to go crazy?!'

{Come on! Even if you are taken hostage, I can rescue you, but you may get hurt.}

Once again, the hallucinations were heard. It was a very clear voice, but it wasn't Serpence's.

But it's definitely a woman's voice I've heard somewhere.

Wait. Doesn't it look like the wind just blew somewhere?

What? Can't the wind blow in the basement?

{I think we should take the plunge before they know for sure.}

As soon as I realized that the voice was not an auditory hallucination, I did not hesitate to take out the scroll I had hidden in my arms and tore it.

Uh-huh?! What, what!

Magic scroll?! Something like that , damn it!

Thinking it was attack magic, they scatter left and right and bow down, and almost at the same time, a translucent blue film wrapped around me in a semi-spherical shape.

And Serpens came down from the side of the stairs connected to the first floor, and one wall suddenly rotated and Eugenes came out.

'Why is Euges out there?!'

Somehow, Serpence said he was late, but after explaining the situation to her, it must have been because he was planning a bucket operation to block the escape route.

Hey, look... I said no! I have someone to protect me!

I screamed out loud, but no one listened to me.

The man who was presumed to be the branch manager was caught by the wind spirit summoned by Yujisu and struggled in the air.

Before the guards could even properly wield their swords at Serpens, they were struck by him and passed out.

And Serpens deliberately pretended not to listen to me, and released the people imprisoned in the cage one by one and healed them with divine power.

Finally, Eugenes put his ear to the wall or the floor, pounding his fists here and there.

Who's going to care about me?

Are you ?

In the end, Serpens came to me only after releasing every last person.

Are you okay, Sir Rivelon?

Nothing other than a slight scratch on the palm and a serious heart injury.

Uh, umm... I'm sorry, I should have taken care of you first... But the other people's condition looked so bad...

What I meant was a small grudge for not helping quickly, but Serpense's words quickly turned it into garbage.

turned into a speech.

Over his shoulder, I could see Euges making a sullen expression on his face.

Oh, no! I don't mean that, Duke. Of course, you have to save the others first! I just thought you were a little late... Of course, that doesn't mean the Duke did something wrong .

There are people who have been imprisoned, including Eugene, so I can't complain.

"First of all, I think we should inform the guards of the territory of the situation here.

Can you take a look?"

yes I'm okay! Come on.

And you go downstairs and bring your books and other documents.

Yeah, leave it to me!

Serpence gave instructions so that I could change the paperwork naturally, and ran up the stairs with a regular crackling sound.

' Isn't the detail really a joke?'

In the dark area, I walked around swiftly and softly without a sound on the stairs or anything, but now I am a skilled knight.

The sound of footsteps was deliberately made up.

I stick my tongue out inward, and Eugess crawls hard down the passageway he finds.

'Actually, even if you don't, Serpens already knew .'

There is a magic sensor that turns on automatically when a person arrives on the second basement floor, so there is no need to search for a switch or a candle and flick it.

'Euges will be fine on top ?'

listened quietly.

The people who were held in custody

He seemed to be soothing what he was feeling.

As I read them extensively, I heard a sound as if asking about their names, where they came from, etc.

I secretly exhaled a breath of relief, opened my bag and looked at the instructions Serpens had written down.

'Isn't this the typeface you usually see on documents?'

I was skeptical for a moment, but it didn't matter. The first thing I need to do is read your content carefully.

'The safe with the ledger . here

I turn the dial like this... . And the red-banded documents are the 20 sheets in the upper right corner of the bookcase , what. Do I have to count them all?'

There were three sets of documents in red, yellow, and blue.

Is this the last blue...?

"How many sheets is that?"

Forty sheets? This is quite a lot .

Who did I just talk to?

Swallowing his saliva and slowly turning his head, he saw Eugese counting the papers carefully.

Wei, Wilydia-sama? Since when...

I don't know when he'll be back, hurry up before he gets caught!

The 'he' here means serpens, right? 'He's the one who made this happen!'

As if he had forgotten how far he had counted because of my conversation, Eugese returned to the first page of the document and counted his longevity again.

'No, what the hell is this?'

As I stared at her for no reason at all, Eugez knew

Arthur removed the belt and finished replacing the last paperwork.

Finally, a fire spirit was summoned and the original documents were burned.

'I think I've seen this scene somewhere... .'

It is a scene of great evidence destruction.

Hey, Wilydia-sama over there...?

Shhh! I know. I've grasped the general situation. It's not the first time we've seen it in our banquet hall, right?

Yes ?!

I guess I know roughly what happened.

So now I'm caught, and Serpence isn't. Is that so?1
