Chapter 12: Refining a Lapis Lazuli IV (1)

Chapter 12: Refining a Lapis Lazuli IV (1)

One of the best ways to hunt was to lure the prey with bait.

In this case, it was natural that the higher the quality of the bait, the higher the success rate of hunting.

In that respect, the bait that Bertina came up with was far too perfect.

To the point where it would be considered too wasteful to even use it as bait.

However, despite the enormous value of the bait, Bertina was resolutely prepared to sacrifice it.

The prey that precious bait would lure just had that much of an enormous value.

A value that had made her completely infatuated.

Enough to keep her from knowing that she herself was becoming the prey.

***Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

“No matter how confident you are, do you really think you have the ability to devour the countless people downstairs all at once? In terms of scale, you’re even worse than that bi*tch Isolda.”

Bahamut spoke lightly while looking at Bertina, who was kneeling in front of him.

However, knowing the terrifying weight of his words, Bertina could only stare up at the man, while her body trembled in dread.

“Investment scheme for Eastern Trade. That alone is certainly not an attractive enough lure. But, the lure of ‘100% success rate’ has a completely different feel. Of course, it’s not unreasonable for people to line up like this. But...”

With those words, Bahamut slowly bent his knees and looked at Bertina.

Bertina lowered her head at Bahamut’s words.

Watching her taste the humiliation of defeat like that, Bahamut once again began to think of the ‘spoiler’ that only he knew.

The Lady of Blue Gold, Bertina Minerva.

One of the main villainess’ in the novel [Fallen Warrior].

She was woman who took control of all the commercial districts of the Holy Empire and wielded the enormous power and money that came out of it to her heart’s content.

She was a character who actually appeared at the first half of the novel. She considered Isaac, the protagonist, as the man who had killed Isolda, whom she had been supporting, as an enemy and continued to attack him.

Eventually, due to the betrayal of her trusted aide, her evil deeds were exposed and she was defeated.

And, the reason why her trusted aide betrayed his mistress... was because of the knowledge that Isaac had come across by chance while he was still in prison due to Isolda’s scheme.

It was the knowledge of a cure for a certain disease, discovered by a doctor who was treated like a madman and was imprisoned along with him.

It was about a rare disease that neither magicians nor priests could cure, and the protagonist, despite being musclebrained, had remembered his words well.
