Chapter 102: Who's my enemy? (3)

***

“Bring the best guy in the back alley in front of me.”

After eating, Ruel said after inhaling Breath.

“Why...?”

Instead of answering, Cassion stared at Breath, and Ruel asked back.

“No, I’ll bring him in.”

“Cassion.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t know what you’ve heard from Fran, but now just focus on what’s in front of you.”

He forgot that his owner was quick-witted.

Cassion chuckled for a moment and soon bowed his head.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Before you go, let me ask you one thing. Have you checked who hired the guys who attacked me in the capital after the banquet?”

“We found traces of money being taken from several merchants on the same day. After researching this, it led to the Lumina family.”

“It’s Adoris.”

Crunch.

Ruel chewed the pie and snorted.

Corrence was under oath.

No retaliation could be made against himself.

I guess he did it because he didn’t know it.

It was common for the merchant to withdraw money from the bank, and Adoris was very neat in handling the after-sales as he just gave them the money they withdrew in the name of investing in the merchant.

“It is either Adoris’ butler or servant who has ordered the request to the commission office, as I expected. Tell His Highness Banios.”

“Alright. And I have one more thing to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“At the time of the raid, the Prostone Guild, which employed adventurers, was a guild administered by the Shio family.”

Crunch.

‘A guild managed by the Shio family?’

Ruel touched one of the spirits that were huddled on his stomach.

Kuroo Kuru.

I kept rolling my head as I looked at that angry look.

‘It’s not that the Lumina family doesn’t have an adventurer’s guild, so why is it an adventurer’s guild affiliated with the Shio family?’

Ruel was annoyed by the triviality.

It was clearly the Lumina Adventurer’ guild that supported Adoris himself that made it easy to hide his identity after the attack and find it easy to question the incident itself.

There was no way Adoris didn’t know that fact.

Separately, the connection between the Shio family and Huan became increasingly clear.

“Investigate the Prostone Guild again. Everything from the past.”

“A few men may die if we investigate the past. Are you alright?”

“If it helps me to get information. It’s not that you can’t clean up.”

Cassion’s brow frowned slightly, but he was a loyal butler.

“Oh, bring Aris on the way. You can’t be loud.”

“Alright. Let me call Aris first.”

Cassion bent down and went out.

After a while, Aris arrived and Cassion disappeared into the shadows to pick up the leader of the back alley.

“Are you feeling well, Ruel-nim?”

Aris stroked Leo, who was spinning around him, and asked.

“It’s alright, how’s your research going?”

“...Did you know that?”

Aris sat down a little embarrassed.

How could he not notice when Tyson openly brags about Aris?

“I heard you’re studying the essence of magic?”

“Yes, magic is borrowed from nature, but after all it is an artificial force. I was wondering why more than one attribute could not be mixed at once.”

—This body can do it! Come out when I say yar!

It was a very unwieldy remark.

Ruel looked at Leo and opened his mouth.

“It seems like a question that was dealt with a lot by magicians.”

“That’s right. I’m not bragging, but I’ve heard from Mr. Tyson that few people can handle the four attributes like me. So instead of taking out properties separately like now, creating new properties and saving them in advance, from the beginning...”

“I’m proud of you.”

Ruel snorted.

“N- no. Isn’t Ruel-nim a rare attribute that’s not even in the data! A shadow is a being that is not limited by its form and completely changes the laws of magic!”

Aris showed a pure enthusiasm for learning and looked like he wanted to open his notebook right away.

I don’t know the details, but the current magic was originally unavailable except for its natural attributes.

So, when you want to use other attributes, you have a very troublesome way of making it like a natural phenomenon by colliding various attributes, blowing in mana, tying it up into a spell, and storing it.

Aris finds a way to occur simultaneously like a natural attribute.

“Leo must have the hint.”

“That’s right. So...”

When Cassion reappeared, Aris rose from his seat, saving his words.

He brought a stranger.

At first glance, he was terrified.

“Keep the sound from leaking.”

“Alright.”

At Ruel’s command, Aris approached the door and cast a spell.

“Nice to meet you.”

Cassion hesitated and spoke as Ruel looked at him telling him to take it off immediately.

“He had a bad mouth, so he gagged for a while.”

“It’s alright.”

Cassion hesitated once more and pulled out the gag.

“This fucke...”

Cassion did not allow a retort.

He pressed him quietly with his eyes.

“Ugh..”

The man groaned in agony.

He was suffocated, his head, his knees found the ground by themselves.

His instinct to live quickly opened his mouth.

“Save me...”

“That’s enough.”

At Ruel’s words, the pressure that dominated the body quickly disappeared.

The man breathed heavily.

“What’s your name?”

The man’s eyes moved hastily.

He froze, as if he couldn’t believe that the owner of this strongest person was that boy.

“Name.”

Ruel asked again.

Only then did he open his mouth.

“Gors...It is.”

He reluctantly respected Ruel.

“You are now number one in the back alley. What you will do next is simple.”

“Wait a minute. Shen, what happened to Shen?”

“Rather than that, why don’t you start by asking who I am? No matter how you look at it, I think that comes first.”

Gors looked around at Ruel’s arrogant smile.

It was full of things that ordinary people could never enjoy.

“N, noble one.”

“You’re wrong.”

Gors’ eyes shook.

What would you say if you weren’t an aristocrat?

Gulp.

He swallowed his saliva belatedly.

He was a fool himself.

He felt so pathetic for not even noticing the boy in front of him.

“I, I, I see the Lord!”

“It’s not dull.”

“Why us...”

“Even you, who wander through the back alleys of Setiria, are one permanent resident of my territory for now.”

Gors could not hide his surprise.

What do you mean permanent resident?

I didn’t know that such a word would come from the mouth of the owner.

He thought they would see them as pests devouring the territory.

“I’ll acknowledge the existence of a back alley. Exactly, as far as I’m allowed.”

“R-really?”

He couldn’t believe it.

The head of the family really intended to receive them as permanent residents.

Whether they were kicked out of the territory or fled after committing a crime, isn’t it the place where those with red lines gathered and started.

He was one of them after all, but he was one of those who wished he could start a new life again.

“First of all, aside from that, have you heard of Red Ash?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

Gorse quickly became a gentle sheep and answered hurriedly to the point of urgency.

“He was making nonsense about giving Setiria to Shen.”

“Is it absurd?”

“I’m a man who knows the subject. What I want is not a Setiria that I can’t even get my hands on, but for me and my men to live like humans again.”

“Living in the back alley?”

At Ruel’s sneer, Gors clenched his knees.

“Whether it’s voluntarily or were forced to live in the back alleys, it is true. But I swear to you, Shen and I were trying to calm down the chaos in the back alley, and all the ugly things that had been going on...”

“Cough, cough. Do you know how to write?”

“I do not know. Shen was the one who knew how to read and write.”

“That’s too bad. I have to see it for myself. Cassion, tell him briefly.”

Ruel inhaled Breath while Cassion told Shen of his sins.

When Ruel peeked at Aris, there were spirits attached to his body.

In case I laughed, I turned my head and pretended not to see it.

“That’s a lie!”

Gors’ face turned white.

“Shen can’t do that! I’m with Shen...”

“Why would I?”

Ruel laughed.

“I’m the lord.”

Gors shut up when he was told it wasn’t even worth lying to himself.
