Chapter 758

Episode 758 Choice and Decision (1)

As the morning dawned, pleasant sunlight flooded Count Cerian’s house.

Soyoung, who had been collecting information on Count Cerian’s family all night, let out a drool.

I scratch my head and try hard, but I can’t think of a sharp number like this.

The lord is under a curse, and the heir to inherit the title is the body of a woman.

The surrounding vassals do not appreciate the succession of the title by a woman, so they are unable to do this or that.

Is that all?

There are two tall mountain houses around the manor.

There was nothing he couldn’t handle if he and Heukyoung came out, but even that was not possible because the two sanchae had close relationships with nearby territories.

But it’s not that I don’t have a lot of troops, and I don’t have family influence, so I’m going to go crazy and jump up and down.

So-young, who suffered from a headache for a long time, finally couldn’t stand it and screamed.

“No answer! This is a place where there are no answers!”

Heukyoung, who was watching from the side, laughed bitterly at her screams.

“Calm down. Being hot doesn’t mean good ideas come to mind.”

“Do you look calm now after seeing this?!”

He holds up a piece of paper scattered randomly on the desk.

Quite large sums were written on them.

“It’s a debt.”

“Yes, debt! It’s not just a debt, it’s a debt so big that you wonder if you have to sell the mansion to repay it! Where the hell did you borrow this money from? What did you trust and borrowed the money for?”

She complained in tears.

“There’s nothing strange about this family dying right now. There won’t be any taxes to pay to the royal family next year. If that happens, the title may be forfeited.”

To raise this family again?

I’d rather turn the orc colony in the back mountain into a city!

He swallowed the words that had filled his throat.

I came to solve the count’s problems, but I can’t see any hope.

The only breakthrough would be the death of the lord right now and the transfer of all authority over the territory to his daughter, Levia, but the possibility of that happening was remarkably small.

Dark Young, who understood the situation roughly, spoke lowly.

“...Then I guess I have no choice but to kill the lord.”

At those words, Soyoung let out a small sigh and nodded her head.

“I hate that way, but I can’t refute this time.”

“What are you going to do after killing me?”

“First, I will leave a will in the handwriting of the lord. Since it was a personal letter left by the monarch, the vassals would not be able to step out recklessly. If you don’t, you’ll be accused of treason.”

“Right. What are you going to do with Gabo?”

“As you can see just now, Count Cerian is a family that lacks both funds and troops. In order for Levia to inherit the title, she needs to pay tribute to the king. We only have harps, so we push through with money and buy them ourselves.”

‘Anyway, she doesn’t seem to treat family heirlooms,’ he murmurs.

The Dark Spirit, who was crossing his arms, untied his hands.

“i get it.”

“I’ll tell you in advance, but let’s disguise it as an accidental death.”

“Know. Please do not ask for a will.”

“okay.”

The two who planned the lord’s assassination ended their conversation and naturally dispersed.

* * *

Soyoung walked in the garden to cool off for a while.

The beautiful garden with red roses embroidered here and there seems to be comparable to the royal garden.

“The gardener has a lot to do.”

After walking for a while while spouting candid comments, I saw Levia sitting on the terrace and looking up at the sky.

At first glance, a blank expression.

Soyoung approached and pretended to know.

“I thought you were at least looking at work, but I’m surprised.”

Although she didn’t feel any presence, Levia, who was startled by the voice coming from the side, was a little wary.

That look made me feel a little resentful.

Levia said involuntarily.

“Are you telling your son to kill his father? I don’t know what kind of help your lord wants, but don’t you think he’ll regret that way of life later?”

To her words, Soyoung still answered in a low-pitched voice.

“Either way, regrets remain. If you think about it for a long time, it will only deepen your thoughts.”

“...”

So-young left a word and tidied up her seat.

The road to Count Cerian’s family.

After encountering countless hordes of monsters, Ray was fed up.

“Even if it were unexplored, it wouldn’t be this much.”

I wonder if it was a small monster, but since there were only medium and large sized monsters like orcs and trolls, I was terrified.

“Fire ball.”

The fireball fired by the priest bishop hit the orc’s head squarely.

The fire moved in an instant, and the burnt orc collapsed.

It might be scary at this level, but monsters continued to come in droves, as if they were blinded.

“There will be no end to this.”

Despite being a wizard, Ley waved her hand aside from the bishop and priest, who were engaged in an all-out war with the orcs.

“Earth spear.”

Quad Deuk-!

Sharp roots protruding from the ground pierced the bodies of the orcs.

“Kuaaa!”

Quaang-! bang-!

Its body is so hard that it cannot be killed with a single hit of magic.

Rather, they writhe in pain and run wild, and the forest quickly becomes a mess.

“Even if we kill them all, the corpses will block the road! Would you rather go back?”

“I can’t afford that!”

“Then what shall we do! At this rate, everyone will be eaten!”

The bishop priest shouted while dealing with a number of orcs he had never seen before in his life.

Then a truly crazy sound came back.

“Ignore the Count’s family and run!”

Did you hear me wrong?

The bishop said as he managed to push the orc who ran up close.

“It sounds like you are saying to ignore everything because the surroundings are noisy! I beg your pardon?”

“So let’s ignore it and run!”

The bishop, who was dumbfounded, stared blankly at him, not even thinking about knocking out the orc for a moment.

Isn’t this pure shit?

The moment she was about to protest.

Ray suddenly grabbed the bishop’s hand and pulled it.

“Haste! Air hand!”

Her body became as light as a feather, and she flew through the sky with one leap.

Is it possible for the body of a person who has not learned flight magic to have such a long flight time?

Embarrassed, she cried.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t worry! It’s up there!”

When I looked up at the ominous answer, there were two horses in the air, crouching in contemplation.

A man runs after a horse.

It also uses magic to pick up a horse and run.

Isn’t it hard to go through in one life even if it’s an alien species that lives a long life compared to humans?

The bishop-priest gave up thinking with his mouth open.
