Duke, Please Repent! chapter 207

40. The Duke and the Disappearance Case (12)

I expected it, but still.

Serpens and Eugenes seemed unwilling to use the door.

'Well, it's no longer strange to enter the entrance with a small group of people by surprise.'

Serpence is holding me and holding me lightly

The crab jumped over the fence by running.

Eugenes also landed gently over the wall on his own without the help of the spirits.

Perhaps because the garden inside the mansion had been neglected for a long time, weeds grew overgrown and there was a rustling sound with every step.

'It's better than taking a house where people live, like last time, but... .'

It must be buried at the foot of a mountain somewhere.

Someone must be a pseudo-criminal organization across the continent.

put on

'Hey, bastards have mouths too, so they'll have to eat and live.'

You don't want to go up and down the mountain every time you visit the market.

I understand, but I wish it was still off.

While I was thinking of such nonsense, we made our way across the garden to the mansion building.

Eugene and Serpens exchanged glances.

With a small nod, Eugese pulled out a round sucker-like thing from her pocket and stood in front of the window.

It is a tool used by the great thief, Ladrava, and it is one of the items I named the Thief Set.

In [Master of the Holy Sword], it was also an item that was not even mentioned when it fell into the hands of Humanus, whose motto was to break through the front of the Jeongjeongdang Party.

'Because I am doing this, there is no other thief .'

I guess I'm the only one thinking like this.

Eugenes casually brought the sucker to the window and pressed the button. Then, there is a sound of the fish coming out of the wind, and the rubber plate is completely attached to the glass.

tightly adhered to

After pulling it and confirming that it was firmly fixed, she connected a lever with a sharp blade at one end to the suction plate.

'Is that blade also a dwarf handicraft?'

As she turned the lever, a circle cracked in the glass centering on the sucker, as if drawn with a compass.

Eugenes pulled the lever toward his body, and the glass came off cleanly.

That's why everyone seems to be dwarf, dwarf.

Although he knew how to use it, Eugeus's eyes were slightly different as it was the first time he had actually used the Thief Tool.

' Did you like it?'

If you ask the spirit, you can unlock the lock without making a hole in the glass... .

All the laughs come out

Looking at it, even saying that there might be a trap that detects spirits or magic before entering seems like an excuse.

I just wanted to use that

what?'

It is an abandoned mansion that can be damaged.

That's why I thought that it was okay to cut out the glass, so I carefully guessed it.

Eugese, who was well equipped with the thief's tool, put his hand through the crack in the cut glass and unlocked it.

- Getting stuck... .

Is it because it has been neglected for a long time?

She opened the window as carefully as possible.

I opened it, but there was a rough friction sound.

As if time had stopped for a moment, her movements also stopped.

In the midst of the silence, only the sound of a sharp winter wind passing by is heard. There was no sign of someone approaching, noticing the intrusion.

As if there was nothing suspicious even for Eugenes, she lightly jumped over the window frame that reached her waist without touching it with her hands.

She stretched out her arms and held out her hand.

Serpens held me in her arms.

Eugese, who had received me stably, stepped aside, and Serpens also crossed the window.

Then my feet hit the floor.

'I thought I had to go all the way to the end.'

Seeing Serpens and Eugenes taking out their weapons and moving while guarding their surroundings, it doesn't seem like that's the case.

'By the way, where are the people?'

He tapped Serpens' shoulder, who was walking in the front.

He looks back at me as if he has something to say.

I looked around exaggeratedly, then shrugged my shoulders with my arms folded and my palms facing upwards.

Serpens pointed a finger down.

'Is it the basement?'

I nodded and he looked forward again and moved forward.

It wasn't that hard to find the door to the basement.

Because no one was using it, the floor was piled up with dust], because there were places where the dust was particularly pushed and erased.

It is a sign of many people coming and going.

Serpens turned the doorknob.

Unlike the stiff windows, the basement door opened very smoothly, probably because it had been well lubricated.

Nevertheless, he stopped moving, just as Euges had done before.

'What is it?'

Placing his hand on his shoulder, he pulled his neck out and looked beyond it.

There was a faintly shining magic light on the wall on the right, thanks to which you can see the narrow staircase leading all the way down.

could

Other than that, what stands out is the tightly closed iron door you see below.

I tapped him on the shoulder with a puzzled mind, and he started walking slowly again.

The stairs were exceptionally long.

Having reached the end of the stairs, Serpens slowly turned his head to look behind him.

When I followed his gaze and turned around, I saw Eugene's face, whose complexion had turned white for some reason.

'What the hell, what the hell... ?'

Anxiety reached its peak.

An exceptionally deep basement and thick iron gates.

I can't hear anything, but can't they both hear a voice from beyond?

Involuntarily, he grabbed Serpens by the shoulders again.

It was to relieve my fear, but it seems that it also gave him courage. Serpens released the latch on the iron gate.

The door opened silently.

Conversely, several cows inside the door

Lee heard.

Screams filled with pain are raging, and desperate cries are resounding... .

' I thought there would be, what is this?'

It was completely different from what I expected.

It wasn't terrible, but it made it even worse.

Everyone, think carefully? We'll have to live and see!

The voice, not mixed with sobbing, had a clear pronunciation, and raised his voice as if he was speaking from somewhere.

It seems that there was some kind of discussion contest.

However .

Isn't this lady still not judging the situation? You have to rebel to make Wayne look like that guy, right?

Wayne is Jack's father.

It doesn't seem like there wasn't anything that I and Serpens were worried about. It must have been Wayne who set the example.

Jack's face, which had been crying loudly, came to mind.

Wayne's safety was concerned, but Serpens stood firm in front of the door, blocking the road and not moving a single step.

all.

With limited visibility, it was difficult to even see where Wayne was.

You bastard, your son is working there, so he'll be holding on! Sending your son to a place where something so horrific happened, what a terrific bastard! I don't even pee in that direction?

I wonder if the demons were expecting this kind of situation and deliberately didn't shut up people's mouths.

Or did you buy that person from the beginning?

I don't even want to know about that. The fact that either way is the worst changes

there is no

Even if you try to get revenge on us later...

Hey, Jake. Don't you know we're already a target for revenge on him?

Hey, what does that mean?! Why are we !

Are you really asking because you don't know?

The man called Jake did not respond to the loud voice of the man.

That noble nobleman like us

I saw them in front of the lower ones. Where can I sleep because of my self-esteem? You must be thinking about when to go and kill him.

It's already been more than ten years since it's been 1, so it's coming...?

Another voice was heard.

Until now, attention has been focused on being the owner of the Holy Sword, but now that the Holy Sword has also been handed over to someone else, it is certain that they will try to kill us without noticing it!

All I can hear is the sound of anger.

I don't know why I have to keep quiet about this dog-like noise.

Serhub...!

He immediately covered my mouth.

I'm speaking out of words, but how regretful would it be to have endured all the hardships you endured? There's nothing strange about killing us with anger!

Before I could even compose a proper sentence, my voice, which was interrupted, was buried by the noise of dogs.

I looked at Serpens with eyes wondering what he was doing. He looked behind my back and shook his head from side to side.

Just like me, Eugene was trying to do something, and he told me not to do it.

would mean

Rumor has it, he doesn't seem like that... '

"Did anyone in the neighborhood hear rumors that the former Duke of Prasidus was such a person?"

From all over, voices agreeing to that were heard loudly.

And if you're not that kind of person, you should rather obey the kidnappers.

"What else do you mean?"

The number of conversation participants increased again.

A friend in the shadow of a father who is still dead

If it doesn't work out, you mean you can't use your hands on the powerless like us, right?

10 years ago with indifference. now in language.

In regards to the subject of violence without hesitation, it is absolutely detestable to refer to himself as a 'powerless person'.

very maybe.

Even at that time, he may have been talking about something like that, knowing that Serpens was listening.

As the thoughts go that far, my head seems to go blank.

Now, this space is a hell and a nightmare for him.

'Why the hell are you standing still!!'

I tried to take his hand, but there was no movement. Even when he pinched the back of his hand and bit his teeth, Serpens didn't raise an eyebrow.

I just close my eyes tightly and take a long, thin breath that seems to be cut off at any moment, and then exhale.

At that moment, something protruded from the back over his shoulder.

It's Eugene's arm.

I'll listen.

She covered Serpens' ears with the palms of her hands and spoke in a voice that was barely audible.

Was it the decision that there were no traps, or was it the first thought that it wasn't important right now?

A pale green light shone on the palm of her hand, which covered Serpens's ears.

If we don't obey the words of those who kidnapped us, we will surely die, but the Duke of Prasidus cannot.

If it's according to the plans they told you, then

You have to get us out of here, so what about running away and asking for help?"

Just because you can't harm us doesn't mean you can save us. If we pretend we don't know? Do you think they'll let us run away in the first place? We'll put a watch on them!

is it?

That's right, that's right!

It seems that this is what it means to say that reason is eroded by anger.

As I listened to her talk and listened to her conversation, I realized what I was missing.

'You bastards, did you write the script?'

Conversations exchanged fit tightly.

There was not one windman.

When someone says something that worries them, the loudest voice makes a counter-argument.

After that, the conversation continued in the form of agreeing that it was the person who raised the problem.

'If you keep listening to these conversations... .'

my mind goes blank

It is truly a pseudo-religious group-like method.

'I must have been distinguishing the wind catcher... ?'

How can you be so stupid!

We could only rescue those who were tortured for resisting.

The rest of them are all there anyway.

Everyone, let's do what Lark said...! I, I can't die like this! Soon, cows and grandchildren will be born...! Don't you all want to die? You want to live-!

I wonder what kind of expression he will make if he finds out that Serpens is here now.

How could the desperate cry of wanting to live sound so terrifying?

His anger had reached the end of his head up until now, and his head, which had been hot until now, became cold.

Kill Kil Kil...

hair stands up

From somewhere, a low, gloomy laughter was heard.

Eugene's hand, which was extending his arm over my shoulder, trembled, and Serpens'

fell out of the ear.

The eyes of Serpens who had been closed were opened.

I sensed that the strength had gone out of his hand, and I quickly removed it and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Did you like the gift we prepared for you?"

Stairs right], there was someone who didn't know when he had been standing there.

No one noticed until we got so close. It wasn't just me, it seemed like everyone was crazy.
