Chapter 159

Episode 159

The Count laughed heartily, saying he knew that would happen.

“There is just one catch.”

-What is that?

He suddenly stopped laughing at my next words.

I asked fiercely, “What kind of person is disturbing me?”

“You need to get your father’s permission.”

-Oh, that’s natural. do not worry. I will get a confirmation from Gerrard.

“thank you. And there is one more thing.”

When I told him that the person called Inspector was involved, his face was distorted in a hideous way.

I gritted my teeth as if these guys were going on a rampage without even knowing the subject.

-What do you want me to do? Should I kill them?

He said he would do as much as he wanted if he asked, and told him to just talk.

When I think about his temperament, I can see that he would cut off the heads of inspectors if I asked him to.

‘They are my prey. ‘I have no intention of handing it over to someone else.’

Revenge is best achieved with your own hands, but if you rely on someone else’s help, the pleasure is diminished.

I will make them pray to me again and again with my own hands.

But that wasn’t the case now.

“no. That’s not it. “Can I take them with me?”

-what?

His angry eyes became round.

He looked like he was wondering if he had heard wrong.

I said it to him again.

“I asked if I could take them to the South.”

-They are in the south...?

“yes. Although they are stupid, they are intermediate sword experts. “I don’t know about the other side, but it will be of some help when fighting.”

-Uhm....

He let out a small sigh.

Taking me with me was a different matter than taking them with me.

Since I didn’t know that, I quietly waited for his answer.

-It won’t be difficult.

As time passed and he got bored, he gave a positive answer.

-I’m the one in charge this time, so there won’t be a big problem if we add one or two more people. And if it’s knight level... that’s fine.

He nodded, holding his chin.

-Bring it with you. But I don’t know if it’ll be okay. Will those who grew up nobly in the center be able to withstand the harsh tendencies of the South?

“Hmm... Still, you’re a sword expert, aren’t you? “There is something that has climbed that far, so I don’t think it can hold up.”

-You don’t know that.

He snorted. He was convinced that the inspectors would never survive in the South.

I couldn’t easily agree with those words.

I had only seen and heard about the South and had not experienced it myself, so I wasn’t sure what I would do.

“thank you. see you tommorow.”

-okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.

He cut off communication.

I got up and left the room.

“What were you doing in your room?”

“What are you hiding? “It’s nothing short of suspicious.”

Perhaps they were waiting, but as soon as I left the room, the inspectors were there.

He asked me what I was doing in my room and told me to tell him right away.

I left them alone to do whatever they did, and their momentum rose to sky-high levels.

‘This is only for today.’

Okay.

Because today is the only time I go on a rampage without even knowing my subject.

I ignored them and headed straight to the Count.

Count Warrug said he could persuade me, but it was better to do this with my own mouth.

“Go and come back.”

As if the story had already been mentioned, the Count gave permission very easily.

It was a feeling of comfort that was embarrassing.

“Do you need anything? “If you have anything to ask of me, please tell me now.”

“...doesn’t exist.”

“okay. “Then have a nice trip.”

He waved his hand with an indifferent expression.

“I guess I’ll just have to go!”

“You have to be prepared! “We will find out your true situation in detail!”

In the end, they had no choice but to accept.

He said with a bright smile to those people who were shouting that he would not lose at any cost.

“Then I’ll be looking forward to it. “Please go.”

I snapped my fingers and the maids waiting nearby brought out several bags and handed them to them one by one.

“This...?”

“I prepared this just in case, but it turned out well. “It contains daily necessities that will be used for the next three months.”

Their faces hardened at my tone, which seemed to suggest that I was preparing.

Only then did they realize that they had been taken for bait.

But once the words were spoken, I couldn’t take them back.

“Count Warrug is waiting.”

When I got up to the gate, they hesitated with my bag.

I nodded to them and told them to come.

They reluctantly got on the gate and it was like watching a cow being dragged to a slaughterhouse.

“Welcome. “Raymond was waiting.”

Count Warrug welcomed me warmly.

Selina was standing next to him, but for some reason she couldn’t look at me and had her head down.

“hello. I am...!”

Beside him, the inspectors tried to introduce themselves to Count Warrug.

“There is no need to introduce yourself.”

He cut them off. The inspectors’ faces were so pale at his cold attitude that they were unable to say anything.

“I was grateful before!”

At that time, Selina approached, bowed her head, and quickly left.

I looked back at Count Warrug to ask what was going on, and he mentioned his state of enlightenment the other day.

Only then did I understand why Selina was so embarrassed.

“Then move slowly.”

Count Warrug said there was no time to stay like this and urged us to move quickly.

As the Count said, the inspectors were coming, he closed his eyes tightly.

***

The road to the south was very difficult.

Until I left, I thought about how rough the road would be.

No matter how rough it was, I thought it would be worse than the north.

But it wasn’t.

Literally, the road to the south was very difficult.

The road was steep and the ground was very curved, making it difficult for carriages to pass.

In some places, the bushes were so thick that several people had to rush in to make a path.

“Is it always like this?”

“It has to be like this. This place itself is very dangerous, so no one travels this road except us who move once every three months. So there is no way. and.”

He raised his hand and pointed forward.

“Sometimes the river rises like this and blocks the road.”

The place he pointed to was a wide river connected by a bridge.

However, the water had risen so much that the area where the bridge had been was submerged and there was no trace of the bridge.

The water also seemed very deep.

If you’re a knight with a strong body, there won’t be much danger.

‘It’s a problem with luggage.’

As it was once every three months, the amount of supplies was enormous.

Just by looking at the more than twenty knights guarding them, you could tell how big the number was.

“So there is nothing to call this a road. “We have to make it every time we go.”

The Count looked around at everything and spoke calmly.

“From now on, everyone except a few people who will guard the supplies will cut down the trees!”

“Wizards, make a bridge by weaving together the trees the knights cut down!”

“We have to make it strong! “Nothing should be left behind!”

The Count used his Aurors to raise his voice and began to command.

The knights and wizards moved steadily under his command.

“Is there anything I can do?”

“For now, rest. “Something will happen soon.”

The Count said not to waste your energy on this.

I was puzzled by his words, thinking that it would end faster if we helped together.

Argh!

It wasn’t long before I realized what those words meant.
