A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 197 – The Fall of El-Romed

The name El-Romed was a word meaning ‘avenger’ in the language of those who lived in the central and southern regions.

It was a word that was a combination of the words ‘El’ meaning ‘person who does’ and ‘Lomed’ meaning ‘revenge’.

There was a reason why they organized a secret society that used the word of an old ancestor called Avengers as its name.

A long time ago, a huge empire existed in an unexplored area.

This empire, which was called the Magic Empire due to its highly developed magic technology, declared that only magicians could live within the country.

As a result, many people were driven out of the empire, and there were many wizards who left the empire voluntarily.

Those who were driven out of the empire’s borders came down to the central and southern regions and entered the territory of the indigenous people who lived there.

And over time, those from the northern region began to integrate with the people living in the central and southern regions.

In the process, the indigenous people of the central and southern regions, who lived together in tribal units, learned from the people of the northern region the concept of ‘nation’, a unit beyond ‘tribe’.

In this process, strong tribes swallowed up other tribes, gradually forming the framework of a nation.

Among them, the two most powerful countries became the current Elpario Empire and the Bregern Empire.

In addition, as numerous countries were established, the indigenous people living in the central and southern regions broke away from tribal life and eventually became part of an organization called a nation.

However, not all indigenous people welcomed this.

It was some indigenous people who had the same ideology as El-Romed.

They did not welcome attempts at unification to become a nation beyond tribes.

This is because they thought that life at the tribal level was a tradition handed down from generations of ancestors.

Among those who rejected these traditions, those who were indigenous were viewed as objects of reformation, and those from northern regions were viewed as objects of extermination.

However, because these people had such extreme attitudes, most people did not sympathize with their claims.

Therefore, they had no choice but to always remain in the minority, and because of this, their identity was able to be hidden for a longer period of time.

Realizing that their power is still weak, they hide in the dark and wait until one day they reveal their weakness.

Waiting.

I just had to wait again.

El-Romed finally realized that the time had come and he began his activities in earnest.

It was to achieve the goal of regaining the old ancestral land, as befits the name of the avenger.

However, all their plans began to go wrong when they became involved with a person named Alberto Salihar Madern.

With the death of Damran, one of the members of the El-Romed moderate faction, there was no one to succeed the moderate faction.

In addition, hardliners also staged an uprising, and coincidentally, there was an Alberto or Tarun in each city where they staged an uprising.

Alberto, who realized that El-Romed must be eliminated for a peaceful world, asked Tarun for help. Tarun accepted his disciple’s request for help and began working with him to eliminate El-Romed.

And finally, El-Romed’s headquarters located in the basement of El Garon Company in Herasmond, the heart and stronghold of El-Romed’s hardliners and moderates, was attacked.

Alberto and Tarun entered the basement under the guidance of the secret safe manager and mercilessly stabbed some survivors who were still alive with their swords.

“Keuuk!”

“Wow!”

Those who were stabbed by Alberto’s sword of Tarun screamed and died.

If these people had been met on an ordinary battlefield, they would have been spared rather than killed out of respect for the wounded.

This was because it was one of the mindsets of those learning the sword as a martial art.

It was said that it was against the spirit of a military man to attack and kill those who had fallen after suffering serious injuries.

However, the people Alberto and Tarun were dealing with the people who, if left alive, could land them in great trouble in the future.

So the two people did not put any effort into dealing with those in the basement.

They were two people who went towards the secret safe in the basement and plunged their swords into the hearts of those whose lives were still hanging on.

“…”

“…”

The two people weren’t saying anything.

In the basement, there was no other sound other than the sound of two people’s clothes fluttering, the sound of a person stabbing a person’s body with a sword, and the sound of a person dying.

“…”

As Alberto and Tarun remained silent, it was the secret safe manager who became anxious.

He knew very well that he could barely survive by knowing about the secret safe.

The manager came to a conclusion after seeing people who had once been his bleeding to death from their eyes, noses, and mouths, and Alberto and Tarun stabbing and killing those who were still alive.

Those two are cold-blooded without blood or tears.

So, it became an opportunity for me to become convinced that actively cooperating with these two people was the only way for me to survive here.

After circling the basement and confirming kills, Alberto and Tarun followed the manager’s guidance and headed to the secret safe.

“This is the secret safe.”

The manager stretched out his hand and pointed to the secret safe.

Where his hand was pointing, a huge vault door painted in matte black took up the entire wall.

“Open.”

“Oh, I understand. “I will open soon.”

At Tarun’s command, the manager took out the key from his pocket.

The key was a richly decorated bracelet.

The manager with the bracelet on his arm walked towards the safe.

Then he grabbed the handle of the safe with his bracelet-clad hand.

[User Recognition]

[Vault Manager Bell]

[Entry permitted]

As the bracelet and the safe reacted to each other, a voice said permission to enter was heard.

A voice saying permission to enter was heard, and after a few seconds, the lock that had locked the safe began to be unlocked.

-Wheeing, clanging.

It seemed like it took a long time for all of the locks to be unlocked, probably because they were made up of multiple layers.

However, the manager should have been fortunate that the people behind him were not two people who were so impatient that they could not wait even that long.

If the two people had been impatient, they would have deployed their Auror Blades, cut off the safe door, and gone in.

“Ruler. W, here it is. “The safe has been opened, so you can take whatever you need from inside.”

When the secret safe was completely opened, what appeared inside was not the brilliant gold and silver treasures.

“It’s a huge pile of documents.”

“It won’t be an ordinary document.”

Alberto and Tarun went into the safe and began examining the contents.

On one side of the safe was a huge pile of documents, and on the other side there was a mountain of gold bars used as funds.

And there seemed to be another room inside the safe, and you could tell what was being stored in the room by looking at the sign in front of it.

What was attached to the door were letters about gold coins, herbs, by-products, artifacts, accessories, weapons, etc.

Alberto opened the doors one by one.

The first room had the word gold coins written on it, and as the words said, there were pockets filled with an enormous amount of gold coins neatly organized in the room.

In the next room, as the name suggests, there was a mountain of very precious herbs, and in the next room, there were precious by-products of monsters that were used as materials for various equipment.

And the rest of the room was also full of artifacts, accessories, weapons, etc.

If all the goods here were sold, it would be several times the amount of taxes a country earns in a year.

“There are so many things.”

“It means that we have prepared a lot. How much time must it have taken to prepare this? “For only one purpose.”

Tarun’s words contained many things.

All of these things were being prepared to be used to destroy the nation on this earth.

It was truly a terrible thing.

Alberto and Tarun were afraid that these things would fall into someone else’s hands, and they also thought that those with bad intentions would misuse them, so they packed them all together.

“Oh, put the documents separately.”

“Do you mean document?”

“If you want to go back home, you won’t need it.”

Alberto understood exactly what Tarun said.

All of the documents here contained records of El-Romed’s activities and the amount of money executed.

In other words, this was an opportunity to fundamentally block El-Romed’s activities.

When Alberto learned of this, a smile spread across his face.

Hehe, that’s right?”

The day to return home is not far.
