Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Expansion (2)

32

A red magic circle was drawn under the greenish moonlight.

The wizards once again made careful adjustments, confirmed that the magic circle was functioning normally, and then retreated.

“Bring it.”

“All right.”

The woman who had vanished behind the dark fluttering her black robe soon reappeared with a little Inyeong.

Next to the woman was a girl who had just turned 10 years old, looking everywhere and trembling with anxiety.

“Where are you? I don’t know you guys! Send me back! Where’s Ult?”

“Shut up.”

The woman grabbed the wrist of the girl who continued to rebel, and dragged her with a wretched hand.

The little girl couldn’t compete with an adult in her strength.

“Wow!”

The woman threw the girl into the middle of the magic circle.

A magic circle shining red revealed the girl’s appearance in the dark.

The skinny body, which seemed unsightly at first glance, was no different from that of an ordinary child, but the elongated ears on the side of the head created a distinct sense of heterogeneity.

Elf.

A being born in the world tree and returning to the world tree.

A symbol of nobility, born with pure mana than any other race.

If a wizard had seen it, it was an opponent he had to show even his intense greed.

Oddly enough, the eyes of the wizards looking at the elves were completely annoyed.

👌👌👌

“Aww!”

A wizard trampled on the girl’s wrist without hesitation.

The wizard lowered his back and cut the girl’s finger deeply with a dagger.

The blood that flowed into the magic circle was ripped into dozens and erupted into different colors.

profit!

“…”

The wizard, who closely watched the pulsing magic circle, shook his head.

The wizard approached the man who had been watching the sequence from afar and knelt down.

“road.”

“Report, Kive.”

“I’ve done a thorough analysis…but nothing has changed. I haven’t been able to find any signs of deception or concealment. The innate mana itself… seems impure.”

“It’s ridiculously interesting.”

Wasn’t it an elf who was gifted with pure mana than any other species?

However, that skinny elf had more turbid mana than an old human old man who had never refined his mana.

That doesn’t mean it’s corrupted.

It was just confusing.

In other words, it’s kind of…

“It’s defective.”

“Growth has stopped and your intelligence appears to have dropped significantly.”

“Heh heh, are disabled people born to elves too?”

“I’ve never heard of it.”

“But it’s not unusual.”

Elves were also creatures after all.

The occurrence of specific individuals by mutation was inevitable.

“Even among the elves, there are those who are naturally superior. The opposite must also exist.”

“The chieftain’s words that he had picked up things abandoned by his people… I don’t know if it’s true.”

“I wonder what those arrogant elves must have looked like when they saw their kind born with flaws.”

Seeing the squeaking Rod, Kive harbored a curious feeling.

In Kive’s opinion, Rod’s feelings right now could never have been pleasant.

“The connection with ‘Genesis’ could not be confirmed for that elf.”

“It was probably Resina’s bloodline or succession, but it would be disrespectful to associate such a defective product with Resina.”

“Even as a sacrifice, its value is lower than that of a human child. Should I dispose of it…?”

“After completing the interrogation of the chieftain, it will be disposed of.”

“All right.”

“It hurts! They say it hurts!!”

The elf continued to tremble at the sight of his blood.

At that dignified act, Kive sighed involuntarily, and was surprised and straightened his posture.

“sorry.”

“Focus on maintaining the status quo until the interrogation is over. Leave the gang under control. It’s not good to hear negative rumors in other areas. If that doesn’t work, use your hand.”

“All right.”

“Ro, Lord!”

A middle-aged man with a long beard ran from the other side of the blackout.

It was Georgia, the head of the Georgia family.

The expressions of some of the wizards were sharply distorted.

“this guy…!!”

They invaded their territory that should not be shown to others.

It was right to show his anger, but as Rod waved his hand, the boiling mana quickly subsided.

Giorgia glanced at him and approached Rod.

“Will you come back in a little while…?”

“It’s fine. What’s going on?”

“He said, I came to them as you commanded. I’ve locked them up close.”

“Excellent. Very good. Kive, I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll be away for a while.”

“…All right.”

Kive bowed his head and backed away.

Even as Kive left Rod’s side, he could not understand until the end.

With considerable effort, one territory was temporarily placed under control. If discovered, the relentless pursuit will continue for a while.

The reason for taking the risk and taking over the territory was to track down the whereabouts of ‘Genesis’.

‘However, it did not achieve proper results.’

This was done based on information that the traces of the last user of Genesis 600 years ago had been cut off near Dinar.

It was a gamble from the start.

‘But disappointment is disappointment.’

The chieftain’s interrogation has not been completed yet, but looking at the circumstances before and after, the chieftain did not seem to know any great information.

At this rate, it is necessary to search for the missing lord sitting in the estate.

And yet, Rod has been in a good mood lately.

Even though that cold and cruel Rod had achieved less than expected results, his shoulders were excited.

What’s the reason?

Kive patted his chin and walked towards the elf.

The sky began to dawn.

At Rod’s urging, Giorgia strode along the mountain path to find the hut.

Before long, I could see one of the servants guarding the hut.

As Georgia beckoned, Suha vanished out of sight.

Giorgia rushed to the hut and opened the door to make sure the two people she had brought were well.

“Oh, you were quiet.”

“Why the hell are you doing this? Did we just let them go?”

“Write! There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I didn’t come back to you because of money.”

Giorgia pretended to be annoyed, rummaged through her pockets and pulled out some high-purity silver coins.

“Once you get this, take it easy.”

The man’s eyes widened as he received the silver coin.

Giorgia kindly grabbed the man’s wrist and led it to his pocket.

“You guys have a job to do. It’s very simple. It’s a job that a noble person asked for, so you just have to finish this job well and pack up your share and leave.”

At that moment, Rod entered the hut and pulled out a heavy pocket from his bosom and threw it.

The man who gently opened the pocket made a terrified sound.

“It’s a start-up fee. When things go well, I’ll pay the same amount one more time.”

“That… Na-ri, we don’t have great talent to receive this kind of money. Maybe you’ve come to the wrong person…”

“no.”

Rod laughed.

“You guys have a job to do. No one else, only you.”

At the sudden call of the Earl, Jimmy and Matthew rushed to put on their clothes and drove the horse to Yeongjuseong.

The two are active in the case of Alessia’s disappearance and have been favored by the Count.

He wouldn’t have been nervous when he visited Youngjuseong, but the timing was bad.

“Did Ray have an accident?”

“Captain, that bastard declared an accident and left.”

“If you think about the streets, it would have been a while since we arrived, but even if there was an accident as soon as we arrived, would the news have already arrived?”

“Then I guess you called me to have breakfast together.”

“With lowly mercenaries like us?”

“Or the lady ran away again. Otherwise, he might give you a reward for what happened last time.”

“Did we get paid already? What’s the reward now?”

“Damn, I’m getting anxious, too, so stop talking about it, boss.”

Jimmy and Matthew, who grabbed each other’s disheveled attire in front of the castle, swallowed their saliva and went to the office under the guidance of the maid.

After handing over the weapon, Jimmy and Matthew entered the office and knelt side by side.

“I see you, Count.”

“…get up.”

Jimmy and Matthew were able to realize it through the ‘nunchi’ that they had forged through their long mercenary life.

I never called this a good thing.

The Count looked down at the two of them, rolling their eyes and trying to avoid their gaze, and asked directly.

“Is Rey in the Dinar area now?”

“Wow!”

Jimmy, whose blood pressure soared for an instant, staggered in place. Matthew unconsciously took both hands and covered his face.

“I think the reaction is correct.”

“Well, that’s…”

“I wonder if Rey is Dinar…”

The count, who looked at the stationery once, asked with a bitter face.

“Did you go to the Georgia family to ‘George’?”

“Cruck…”

Jimmy vomited frustration with a face that looked like he was biting a bubble.

Matthew slapped Jimmy on the back, ignoring his disrespect in front of the Count.

Jimmy let out a gasp and nodded, barely lowering his blood pressure.

“That’s right.”

“Ask first. Did you instigate Rey? You want to start a conflict with the gang in the Dinar area?”

“No, that’s not it. Not at all!”

“I would like to question whether a 9-year-old child went to Dinar alone and caused an uproar, but let the other person pass through Layini.”

“Go, thank you.”

“Do you know why Rey went to Dinar?”

“…”

After thinking for a while, Jimmy opened his mouth with the sound of pain.

“The orphan Ray recently collected…”

“Collected?”

“…the orphan you brought is an orphan from Dinar.”

“Dinar ‘mountain’?”

“…an orphan who lived in the Dinar region.”

“Is that a problem?”

“Originally, it was the child the Georgia family wanted. Big.”

Jimmy glanced at him and spoke.

“He was a smart, off-white kid, so he must have been coveted. If he finds a good match… he can sell it to a high price.”

“I understand. So, did Rey go to Dinar to get rid of… the Georgian family where the conflict occurred?”

“It’s similar.”

“Didn’t you think about drying it?”

“Sir, his stubbornness is not usually stubborn.”

Matthew added:

“And if we fight, we lose.”

“…”

“I can’t even force it to dry.”

Matthew looked up to the sky and had no shame in the fact that he was being overpowered by a nine-year-old.

Even if Ray had only been two or three years older, even an official knight would have been kicked out of the game.

The count, who looked at Matthew’s innocent eyes, nodded his head as if convinced.

“…I see. Let’s go out and wait.”

“All right.”

As the office door closed, the Count opened the front of the letter and patted the desk in agony.

“…Lord Mohammed.”

“Please name it.”

“If the existence of a warlock has been confirmed, wouldn’t it be wise to report it to the imperial family and wait for support?”

“A knight of the Earl of Phillips is never weak.”

“I believe in my knights. I have no doubts in your tenacity and loyalty. However, there is no need to sacrifice all of my knights in the affairs of others.”

“Time… not enough.”

“You’re right. How do you know if someone is going to hurt ‘Titty’ while waiting for support?”

The count squeaked and read the letter.

[A force that harmed ‘Titty’.]

If it wasn’t for this last line.

The Count would never have tampered with his knights.

“We… we’re down. We’re bound by the oath of our ancestors more than 600 years ago.”

“…”

“The Phillips family has become a parasitic family on the edge of the Empire, and even with your brilliant talents, you have stayed by my side without ever stepping on the zodiac.”

“The Count.”

“Our forefathers foresaw all this, but wanted us to fall like the heroes 600 years ago.”

Count Phillips recalled a rotten branch he had once seen as a child.

It is one of the 12 roots that the World Tree set on the earth in the beginning.

An armament of a hero who lost its value and power due to the wrath and curse of the World Tree.

Genesis.

“Is the appearance of the Warlock a coincidence, or has he noticed something by now?”

“…”

“Well, what does it matter? There’s not much left. At most, 20 years. Even the last Guardian has abandoned his duty and disappeared. I’m not going to put this bondage on Alesia.”

“…”

“So, let’s fulfill our obligations under the oath. Gather all the knights.”

“I will also return Didier, who was sent to the orphanage.”

“Do that .”
