Chapter 130
“-So what’s going on? “You’re probably not the kind of person who deliberately comes to say hello are you?”
···He flinched at the harsh criticism that came at him without a moment to catch his breath·
“···It seems like your evaluation of me is poor…”
“You don’t have the patience to be polite to adults do you?”
“I don’t know what contemplation is but I can guess what it means just by hearing the way you speak.”
“What do you think it is?”
“Isn’t that the kind of thing where you judge people based on what they look like…”
“I understood correctly. This is why it’s easy to talk to a smart guy.”
“···Is this the so-called act of giving a bottle and giving medicine?”
Roen Dmitry de Lionel·
The northern prince maintained his characteristic expressionless expression so his facial expression did not change easily.
Would you say it’s a face that doesn’t show emotional changes?
But right now it was clear that he was showing signs of confusion…
Lee Han must have read this as well and laughed shamelessly.
“So what I said was wrong?”
“…It’s ironic that to my chagrin I wasn’t wrong…”
“Normally noble children are rude even to adults.”
“I don’t know why the instructor always talks about discrimination against nobles…”
“I’m glad to know that it ended in discrimination. If the spellcaster had raised his eyes like you did he would have pulled them out right away.”
“hmm····”
Usually Roen keeps his cool in anything and even his emotional changes tend to be extremely subtle.
Although his innate nature is a good nature his status is noble.
So it was difficult to deal with people who treated me so bluntly and harshly as I had only had people my whole life who had been treated with respect and treated me with respect or who even if they were enemies would make subtle criticisms in a polite tone of voice.
However if you ask me if I feel bad again…
‘Strangely not unpleasant…’
Not only does it contain no base malice but on the contrary it feels like they are treating you like a ‘younger brother’.
It’s somewhat unfamiliar but still…
‘It’s not bad… really…’
It was surprising that I didn’t feel uncomfortable…
* * *
“I heard you competed with your uncle…”
As expected just as Lee Han had predicted the black guy came in without blinking as if he hadn’t just come to say hello.
“···Let’s eat some and do it…”
Still I like ‘Seongseong’ which brought a mountain of cakes made by famous dessert artisans including a luxurious fruit set.
Gulp!
He grumbled like that while pouring a piece of cake topped with a luxurious custard cream with the nutty taste of almonds and a soft yet rich taste into his mouth.
But the taste…
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Even though I don’t like sweets that much.”
“For the price of the story it wouldn’t be bad… It’s a dessert you can’t get even if you have money.”
“···admit·”
Lee Han said that it was an excellent taste that allowed for such a stately attitude.
“···If the uncle you mentioned is that monstrous man then you would be right…”
“Then I guess that’s right…”
“He was so strong…and he wasn’t a bad person but if you ask him if he was a good person he wouldn’t be…”
“···Your uncle is not without that side… I have some idea of what happened… I apologize on your behalf…”
“No it was an apology… but when I look at it later I say… ‘No matter how you look at it it doesn’t make sense… If you stole my technology pay the rest of the price accordingly’…”
“…I will definitely tell you…”
When the duel with Maximus was mentioned the black man laughed bitterly.
I think I can guess what happened…
Lee Han checked his reaction from the corner of his eye and was convinced that he had come to ask about the situation in the tunnel and at the same time clicked his tongue.
‘Are you asking me this?’
Even though it would be quicker to ask his father…
‘Last time I saw you your relationship with the Archduke wasn’t very positive…’
An awkward or even openly hostile attitude toward his father ·
I won’t ask you in detail because it’s a family matter but…
‘No matter which world you go to there are a lot of bean powder families…’
Lee Han was relieved that there was no culture of home visiting in this kingdom.
Because I don’t have to see the discord in other people’s families…
* * *
Lee Han did not act stingy.
“A group of fanatics located in a tunnel and a mysterious person who is training a half-demon and breeding giant worms… Ha! “These are all terrible stories that will shake the kingdom.”
It was hard-earned information and you could foolishly say that I bought this for a few pieces of cake but the black man Lee Han knows…
“-But I also seem to have discovered similar people by chance… There is a group of slaves that I recently destroyed and they seemed to be connected to fanatics… In particular a huge number of prisoners were transported to summon the monster. “I thought that one place might be the slave trade.”
“… That’s an incredible coincidence…”
“Yes I was really lucky…”
Look isn’t this an example of thorough give and take?
As good information and opinions poured in the reward for not being stingy came back.
“Hmm we can tell something from this… The collaborator must have taken control of all the secret areas of the southern continent for more than several decades… Otherwise there would be no way that the slave merchants including Tunggul would cooperate…”
“Who can create such a force?”
“Among those who can be called great nobles if you exclude Galahad Lionel and Tristan there are about three candidates and the merchant alliance and mercenaries may be enough… Other big names that come to mind… there are about five more at best… ”
“…There are so many suspects…”
“At the same time there are only people who are difficult to deal with…”
“Hmm…”
Lee Han scratched his cheek…
The more I listen the more my head hurts…
Tsk!
‘It’s okay I’ll worry about it and you will take care of it…’
Since I brought it to my former co-worker why not take it out on my own?
He decided to draw attention by saying that he had done enough and that it was the capabilities of the higher-ups.
“If the instructor accumulates several more achievements like this you will be able to become that great person.”
“There’s nothing to do. What should a knife-wielding guy do when he gains power?”
“Still aren’t you angry? “This situation where all the credit is being taken away by Aren Pendragon…”
“···I think you’re more dissatisfied than me?”
“It’s because I’m already displeased thinking about how much worse that incompetent person will become after gaining fame.”
“What the hell…”
A harsh criticism of the royal family.
I felt a lot of hostility and Lee Han gave me a new look.
‘Do you think the black guy has a bad relationship with the gold guy?’
Actually this guy wasn’t the type of guy that black people would like…
If Blacky is a wolf that survived a fierce struggle in the wild isn’t Geummyeong like a Chihuahua raised in a greenhouse?
Not only are each other’s living environments and upbringings different but if they ever encounter each other they will immediately start showing hostility toward each other.
At least that’s what Lee Han saw and if they collided…!
‘There is a high possibility that Geumjjoo was hit unilaterally…’
I’m sure that guy must have fought two or three times before he returned…
Well you can ask Taechang about this later so for now…
“I’ll say it again I don’t really need illusions like power or fame. I actually prefer practical things.”
“···Did you get a price you were happy with?”
Did you sense something in Lee Han’s tone?
He asked back and Lee Han…
“···To some extent…”
He muttered as if soothing a black man and shifted his gaze slightly.
“This cake is no joke it’s delicious isn’t it? What is it? Why is the level of medieval topics so high?”
“Lady Irene please have some tea. I’m sure you’re thirsty.”
The two girls were chattering away and his gaze was especially focused on the girl with wavy hair.
“Well I think it’s a reasonable price…”
“Is that so?”
···Roen saw·
The satisfaction in his gaze…
And I remember…
The people of ‘Fault Street’ who were being watched by his subordinates suddenly began to faint shaking like epileptics foaming at the mouth…
also·
‘I said I had tattoos on my face and neck that looked like burns…’
And that tattoo is definitely…
‘It was a tattoo that was originally supposed to be on Jeanne…’
His friend whom he can no longer see·
However my friend who feels fortunate because he can’t see it…
‘It looks like you have truly found freedom…’
Roen bowed his head saying he was glad.
─As I looked at my friend’s carefree face I felt like crying for some reason…
‘Congratulations Jeanne… Levy…’
He remained silent as he offered his heartfelt congratulations something he had never given to anyone in his life.
As if enjoying the afterglow…
* * *
‘···[Overcoming the curse] Anyway I’m a sister who knows a lot of interesting things…’
Lee Han knows that there are no longer any disturbing curses on his disciple.
To be exact it wasn’t completely gone but did you say that 90% of it was eliminated?
– ‘Passing the curse’ is literally a method of passing the curse on to another person. However in order to use this method several strict conditions must be met and a considerable price is required. You will know that I am grateful so I will shoulder all the sacrifices and the price for you. I gave it to you. If I were to just look at the amount I would have spent 100000 gold coins.
-···Why don’t I do that?
– Goyan! You should have been thankful so why not give a counterargument first?
– No I can do that too!!
– It’s impossible. Do you think you and your student are the same? That child is not completely one with the body and tattoos have a set form but aren’t you cursed as if you have become one with the blood flowing in your body? Of course you wouldn’t know if you removed all the blood and only removed the curse but hmm there is no chance of survival. Would you give it a try even though it is only 2%?
-···Why don’t you just let yourself die?
– I’m only telling the truth… Hmm the puns end here… Still you still have to be careful… It takes 5 years to completely settle in with the person who passed on the curse through passing the curse and during that 5-year period if something happens Even if the person to whom the curse has been passed on dies it will then return to the host.
– ···If those who have inherited the curse don’t have to die for 5 years shouldn’t it be okay to freeze them and keep them?
-···Sometimes I think my brother-in-law’s ideas are truly ignorant… If you defrost frozen meat is it still okay?
-···Can’t I be a frozen person?
– ··· They say that the more foolish a knight is the better he is and my brother-in-law is definitely an excellent knight.
“···umm·”
He fell asleep as he recalled what was pointed out to him as common sense by a medieval princess.
It was truly a humiliating experience…
However…
“Five years hmm… Is it okay if I freeze them? “It would be easier to manage that way right?”
“····”
“···Why are you giving me such warm looks?”
“No… I think you are an excellent knight too…”
“?”
“There is such a thing…”
Lee Han was happy to have an ‘excellent’ colleague.
The situation has been settled to some extent…
The sun is setting and dusk is about to come to the yard.
Roen quietly got up from his seat…
“The conversation took longer than I expected. Let’s go now.”
“Are you going because you got everything you got? A heartless bastard…”
“Can you at least treat me to dinner? “There is a restaurant that opened recently…”
“restaurant?”
“Newly opened on Central Noble Street…”
“Isn’t the land there expensive?”
“Although the investment cost was a bit high I am confident that I will make a profit.”
“···Why are all the people around me rich?”
Lee Han grumbled…
Why does he seem to be the only poor person?
However…
“Dinner is ready let’s go exercise before dinner.”
Lee Han said there was something more interesting than his wealth or something else and made a suggestion.
“···If it’s pre-dinner exercise…”
“It’s a light exercise before dinner right?”
“···I don’t think it will be a light exercise at all·”
“That’s something I like…”
Lee Han was satisfied with his reaction.
That’s right…
“Because I didn’t refuse…”
“…There are times when I also want to relax…”
At one point the black guy pulled out his sword and Lee Han sat up with satisfaction.
