Episode 528 Banquet (3)
As soon as he arrived at the royal capital, Ray looked for the Halfman Company.
A beggar-like man was standing there looking around from the entrance, and the guard guarding the store entrance approached.
“What kind of guy are you?”
dreamy dreamy.
As I blinked my eyes, the guard clicked his tongue.
“You are a pitiful fellow at such a young age. Still, it’s worth looking at one face, so if the day is bright, look for a job. Take this, too.”
What the guard handed over was a piece of bread and two pieces of beef jerky.
You mean you look like a beggar?
With a slight frown, the guard shook his hand.
“no. I can’t give you any more. You should know that this alone is a great favor of the Bone Merchant.”
It’s quite condescending for just throwing a few pieces of bread and beef jerky.
he said to the guard.
“Food is done, I want to meet Harpman.”
At those words, the guard became very angry.
“How dare you call the Danju indiscriminately! You bastard want to play a sutra!”
The status of the upper ranks did not drop to the extent that a mere beggar could meet the sobriety.
Ray was a little dumbfounded when he bluffed in a stern tone.
Judging from the fact that he still doesn’t recognize himself, it seems that he has just entered the Chamber of Commerce.
He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a tile to show.
“It’s Taesang’s defeat. Go and get the harpman.”
As he threw various jade and gold-framed cards around, the guard accepted it without hesitation.
“This?”
I looked around and tilted my head as if this was the first thing I saw.
“You bastard, this place is not a store of all things! Where did you get a tile that looks like a real one!”
It’s not the same as the real one, it’s the real one.
Being treated like a beggar was not enough, and now that he was lying, Ray also felt unfair.
“Oh well, show it to Harpman and he’ll know!”
“What the heck is a beggar doing to show this to the danju!”
After the two had been arguing for a while, two guards who were drinking in a corner approached.
Judging from the fact that he was abandoned even to the window sill, it would be more accurate to see him as a drunkard rather than a security guard.
“What’s the fuss?”
When the senior guard asked, the guard who was dealing with Ray continued to speak as if complaining.
“Well, I felt sorry for this guy and even gave him food, so why are you talking as if the guild he saw belonged to me?”
The senior guards frowned at him.
“Have you seen such an evil bastard in the world?”
I’ll even have a good drink.
I have to set a good example in front of the newcomer.
“What kind of dog-bones do things in front of a large group of people?”
When I looked at the back of the rookie with my legs crossed, the first thing I noticed was his white hair and blue eyes.
It is indeed quite off-white.
The eyes were so clear that just one look at them made me feel like my mind went blank.
This feeling is not the first.
when you were a rookie.
There was a time when I went out without knowing anything and was slapped on the cheek by Danju.
Seeing Ray, the two sobered up screams.
“Ah! Lord Taesangdan!”
“Meet Taesangdanju! But how come...?”
Now that there are people recognizing him, Ray let out a small sigh.
“I’m here to see Harpman.”
“If all of you were Danju, you went to the royal castle...”
“The royal castle?”
No matter how well Harpman is doing, what kind of capital is he looking for when he is just a merchant?
Ray asked casually.
“For what?”
Then the answer I heard was spectacle.
Koo Goo Goong-!
As soon as the castle gate began to open, the soldier hurriedly bowed.
“I am glad you are back.”
Bring the spear to your chest and lower your head.
Ray bowed briefly to him and entered the castle.
There were not many people walking around outside the castle.
At best, there were apprentice maids in charge of chores.
“It looks like I have to go to the castle.”
Anyway, there must have been quite a bit of time left until the next action of the black room.
Looking at the peaceful streets, it seems that the coalition or the black room’s behind-the-scenes work has not yet begun.
Ray happily crossed the garden.
Then a coffin full of flowers caught my eye.
Could this be a coffin made just for you?
I tapped the lid of the coffin with my fingers.
The interior seemed empty as the sound spread far and wide.
Fortunately, it seems that the wrong corpse was not brought to the funeral.
I looked around the garden in relief.
It’s been over a year, but Celia’s garden is still beautiful.
It would have been nice to have been able to see this kind of sight even in the dungeon.
Leaving behind the memories that didn’t even seem like memories, Ray entered the inner sanctuary.
The inner side had more people than the outer side.
Of course, even those were all attendants, but judging from the fact that they were moving quickly even into the evening, it seemed that the mourners hadn’t left yet.
He waved gently at the ladies-in-waiting who recognized him.
every time he takes a step.
The attendants who were working all dropped what they were holding.
All actions of the attendants stopped for a moment at the sight of the saint, who had been buried just a few hours ago, standing and walking.
Eventually, after he completely disappeared, the attendants came to their senses.
“Bar just now... just now, the saint...”
“I saw it too... I can’t believe it’s the saint’s ghost...” He
casually said something that would have been blasphemy if he had heard the greeting of the saint. .
Didn’t they see something in vain?
For a while, they stared blankly in the direction where Ray disappeared.
* * *
Baron Dane, who was in charge of greeting the entrance at the banquet hall, tilted his head at the commotion outside.
“It’s Busan today. Well, it’s the saint’s funeral, so it’s understandable.”
I was standing at the entrance of the lobby casually, when a young man with a familiar appearance walked from the outside.
While having a one-sided relationship with yourself.
Baron Dane’s eyes widened.
An old brown leather robe.
It was a very shabby outfit for a saint called the representative of God, but somehow it seemed to represent the life in the dungeon.
Everyone thought he was dead.
The testimonies of those who returned alive from the dungeon were devastating.
In fact, more than 10,000 mercenaries lost their lives in the dungeon, and those who even survived were those on the lower floors.
Ray spoke to the baron in a soft voice.
“long time no see.”
“Ah...”
Baron Dane, who was speechless for a moment, shook his head and regained consciousness.
“Forgive the plaque.”
“What kind of forgiveness is that?”
After looking around the lobby for a while with a smile, Ray caught a glimpse of Aira in a white dress.
and.
I could also see a man kneeling in front of him and smiling miserably.
At first glance, it was clear that this was not a very pleasant situation.
Let Ray laugh.
Noticing him, Baron Dane quietly took a step back.
“It is an honor to be in charge of introducing the saint to such an important position.”
