Chapter 128:

What is that?

Otto was puzzled as Kairos equipped the golden eyeball.

Isnt that just a normal fake eye?

As far as Otto knew, Kairos fake eyeball wasnt a special item.

It was the same when he was playing in the game, and when he was stuck in this world.

When he looked at the items details, there was nothing unusual about it.

[Kairos Golden Eye]

A fake eye said to have been worn by the Cannibal Emperor Kairos when he was alive.

It is made of pure gold and has an unknown symbol on the back.

Type: Prosthetic Eye (Eye)

Restricted Usage: Cannibal Emperor Kairos Exclusive

Durability: 1 / 1

Special Features: Kairos personal hygiene isnt the best, and theres a lot of grime on it.

A second look reveals nothing special.

I even experimented with it, and it was nothing. Is this what it means to be exclusive to Kairos?

It seems this is the difference between the game and reality.

Hmph!

Kairos scanned the crew, his right eye glowing golden from the golden eyeball that had permeated it.

Lets see which one of you is lying?

Kairos stepped toward the first sailor in the front row.

Did you sell information to the pirates?

Oh, no!

Mmm.

Kairos nodded.

Pass.

What?

Next!

Kairos called out to the sailor next to him and made eye contact.

Hmph. Youd better not lie in front of me. I know all things. Hehehe.

Not me!

Well, you pass!

Kairos locked eyes with each of them, as if he could see into their souls.

Then.

Cough, Cough!

One of the sailors started coughing, as if he had a cold.

*Flinch!*

For some reason, Kairos froze for a moment.

But he soon resumed his interrogation.

When he made eye contact with about 30 people.

Have you been in league with the pirates?

Am I crazy? If I get caught Kwak!

*THUD!*

The sailor, who had replied with a snort, let out a lone scream that was drowned out by Kaiross kicks.

You wretch, how dare you lie in front of me.

Then the Spirit Knights Agatho, Hildegard, and Maximus stepped forth as if they had been waiting, and grabbed the fallen sailor.

How dare you try to deceive His Majesty into believing that you are innocent.

Did you think you could escape our majestys notice?

You have the devil in your bones!

But the sailor refused to admit his crime.

Whats the matter with you? Im not in league with pirates! Do you have proof? This is a frame-up! Theres a frame-up!

A frame-up.

Kairos smirked.

Do you think I dont know that you met a man named Lagetti in a tavern and sold him information for three gold coins?

!

Hahahaha, dont forget the success fee, this ones a real bargain, Hehehehe, and seeing as how theyre poorly armed and loaded with cargo, Im sure youll be able to get away with it without a drop of blood, Hahahaha!

Kairos mimicked the culprits words.

Do you not remember this, Hahahah!

How could you!

The culprit was horrified to hear Kairos recite his words, verbatim, right down to the inflection.

Wazir nodded at Olives question.

He graduated from the knights academy there and served as an apprentice knight for two years During that time, a knight named Camille was truly great For an apprentice knight.

So Ive heard.

Hahaha. It was because of him that a mere bastard was able to ascend to the throne.

But the current king of Slaine is.

A rare tyrant.

Wazir returned Olives words with a cold tone of displeasure.

He is madness itself, and if pure evil exists in this world, it is probably him.

Lord Camille must be heartbroken.

Heartbreak that is the fate of a knight. A knight, a chivalrous man, is torn between ideals and reality, and depending on who they serve, their lives can go back and forth between heaven and hell.

Isnt that why they are revered?

Yes, I suppose it is.

Wazir nodded, smiling bitterly.

I doubt, however, that Camilles personality will allow this to go unchecked. Hell be in distress. Hell think its his karma.

Wazir clicked his tongue in pity.

He had seen Camille in the past, back when he was training at the Knight Academy in the Kingdom of Slaine, and he knew his behavior all too well

How the hell did you do that?

Otto couldnt contain his curiosity.

Is that what that artificial eye is for, to see into peoples minds? So the history books werent completely wrong?

According to the history books, the cannibal emperor Kairos had gone completely insane in his later years, and had used his ability to see through peoples minds to oppress his subjects.

Hahaha. To someone of your stature, seeing through the hearts and minds of people of one path is not a difficult task.

What?

Otto pursed his lips.

So, how did you still got stabbed in the back?

What?

Kairos glared.

You dont know what youre talking about! Im not even

Well, maybe theres something special about those fake eyeballs of yours, but theyre not 100% reliable, and they dont work against someone of equal ability, right?

How How dare you bastard not believe in me!

Then you wouldnt have gotten shot in the back of the head.

The perceptive Otto had managed to figure out the secret of Kaiross [Minds Eye] like a ghost.

If his [Minds Eye] was perfect, Kairos wouldnt be in the current mess hes in.

Well. Still, its a useful skill.

What?

Anyway, thanks to you, we caught the culprit. Good work.

After catching the culprit through Kairos great deed, Otto and the others continued their voyage.

Their first stop was an uninhabited island in the southern part of the continent called [Pincer Island].

It was a key node for the Kingdom of Lotas maritime business, and was highly valued.

But first, there was work to be done.

Your Majesty, there is a port city nearby. I think it would be a good idea to drop off the people held by the pirates there.

Really?

Otto unrolled the map at Camilles suggestion.

If we stopped by, it would take us some time, wouldnt it?

Then why dont you lend us your boat and give us a little escort?

Ah, that would work.

Otto was receptive to Camilles suggestion.

Lets see.

Ottos gaze swept over the people around him and stopped on Qasim, who was holding the Black Wyvern <Khamak>.

Qasim?

Yes, Im here.

Qasim put down Khamak and dropped to one knee.

In truth, Qasim shouldnt have been on this expedition.

He had been granted a reward vacation by Otto, and had gone to the Kuntachi Duchy to visit his family.

But when he arrived, he found the house empty.

His family had left for a vacation in the warmer southern countries and hadnt told him.

So Qasim tearfully postponed his vacation and had no choice but to return to the Kingdom of Lota.
