Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 237
It's shameful.
Those words were the only words that went through Gronzuel's mind..
It was shocking to see that an adventurer with no known origins came out of nowhere and began to affect everything he had built up until now. Even the reason is absurd. Even when you only have a mental illness and no physical evidence, you still commit violence. There were no such barbarians, not even barbarians..
But what was most infuriating was the reaction and attitude of those who were hired to deal with such barbarians..
The gangster who had worked as a business associate for many years backed out after giving him advice that did not seem like advice, and the mercenary group that tried to hire him instead, holding back his anger, started questioning whether the target was Eldmia Egar or not. I don't know what kind of crazy things this thing I've never heard of was doing, but it seemed true that it was very famous among the uncivilized..
In the end, Gronzel, who tricked the cowards into heading towards the waterway and took only the necessary things in preparation for an emergency, hid the items in his hiding place and was moving around, gritting his teeth. If the mercenaries come back unharmed, they will be dissatisfied with having tricked them... but what can they do? No matter how much of a mercenary you are, you don't really live just for today, so you'll just have to crawl around on your own..
"That's right, he's just an adventurer."
He was once an adventurer himself, but as he was already dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles as a guild leader, Gronzel arbitrarily believed that even though they were of different levels, they were quite different..
However, since there was no one around him to correct such a wrong way of thinking, he thoroughly believed that he was right and knocked on the door of the nobleman's mansion where he was always indebted. As it is one of the most luxurious mansions in Englem and boasts many private armies and mercenaries, the nobleman he met after going through unnecessary procedures that were not in accordance with etiquette greeted him with a smile, his chubby cheeks rolling..
"No, oh my god. Gronzel, what's going on without you contacting me??"
Damn pig. Acting like a pretentious person on a subject that I obviously know and am laughing at.
Gronzel never made an unannounced visit unless he had something urgent to ask for. That course of action had been fully learned by those who helped him, and he also understood well that Gronzel, who visited in this way, always repaid the favor with a large sum of money..
The same was true for the noble in front of him now..
"Thank you, Baron, for your personal hospitality despite my unexpected visit. This is because the Baron's help is needed...."
"Heh heh. He's a baronet, not a baron. You always make mistakes!"
"Oh my, this is what I say every time I see Baroness Buex. I think it's because he is so full of nobility.."
Even when an obvious compliment is thrown around, the man called Baron Buix just waves his hand, smiles brightly, and does not actively try to correct the person. His attitude was embarrassing to even call it pretense, but Gronzuel didn't mind. Although it was a title he bought with money during the war, Baron Buix had a lot of money and had as much influence in Englem as the baron, the lord of the lord..
His power, which had grown rapidly over the past few years due to his connections in the capital, was not something that would disappear just because he had been quiet in recent weeks..
"It's not polite to leave guests standing like this. Come on in. Since you need help, shouldn’t I help you with all my heart?."
The attitude and movements of Baron Büx, who placed a friendly hand on Gronz'el's shoulder, were not much different from the last time he remembered them. He didn't even seem to have anything to worry about, and his complexion seemed to have improved. As expected, Gronzuel accepted the favor of Baron Buex, thinking that the rumor that he was suddenly turning away after making a mistake in his connections in the capital was nothing more than a rumor..
"Thank you so much, Baron. This is because my safety is being threatened by a ruthless person who does not know the law.."
"oh my god. You're threatening someone who always contributes to Englem's development. What kind of lowly citizen could do that??"
Even though he was deliberately called Baron, Baroness Buix did not correct him and enjoyed the title. Gronzel also acted embarrassed, trying hard to hide his inner feelings of being fed up with the desire to show off beneath his expression of pretending to be concerned about himself..
"Eldmia Egar is an adventurer. This time, I asked them to help me eliminate the thieves who were causing chaos in our city, and they made all kinds of excuses and fabrications to threaten me and try to extort my compensation.."
"Huh! What are the things I couldn't learn? The law of the kingdom stands firm and upright, so why do such a barbarian act?!"
"This is truly deplorable. I've already personally hired mercenaries to take action, but wouldn't they be just as bad in the end? In the end, as I thought about the person I could trust and ask for, I naturally came to see the Baron.."
In the end, the number of private soldiers that Baron Buex had was about twenty, and the rest were no different from the mercenaries he had hired, such as blue owls or owls, but of course Gronzel did not mention that fact..
"Don't worry! Let me move my troops right away.!"
"Thank you so much, Baron.."
"Hmm, according to my prediction, even if he crawls out of the waterway, he will fight the mercenary, and even if he defeats him, he will head to the guild with his exhausted body to protest against you. I will dispatch my soldiers to the guild, so you can wait in peace.!"
It was quite funny to see them talking about troops, dispatching troops, etc., using big words about subjects they had never been to before and talking about strategies as if they were planning a strategy, but Gronzuel was able to hide his laughter by bowing in greeting. This is exactly what happened the moment Eldmia left the waterway and encountered the Blue Owl mercenaries..
And as time passes, we arrive at the present..
"What did you say just now??"
Eldmia, who checked the guild leader's office and came down to the first floor in a state of anger, frowned as she looked at the twenty soldiers lined up in the Adventurer's Guild Hall. When he saw Laika trotting up to him and sitting at his feet, wagging his tail, he tried to suppress his anger as much as possible and listen, but what came out of the other person's mouth were not words but farts..
"They said they would arrest you on charges of damaging guild property, blackmail and threats, attempted murder, and theft.."
Eldmia blinked her eyes at the soldier's very proud attitude, then rubbed them and looked again..
But they were still private soldiers. Eld Mia got down on her knees and stroked Laika, letting go of her anger once more and calmly asked back:.
"What authority do you have when you are not a city guard or patrol??"
"We are the private army of Baron Buex, a renowned nobleman of Englem! Baron Buex, who, as a member of the city, could not condone this situation, drew his sword himself, so please obey calmly.!"
"...Maintenance of the city? A baron? Aren't you talking about the Lord of Englem? It's your guard.?"
Now that you're confidently talking about something I can't understand, I'm starting to wonder if there's a flaw in my ability to understand language..
The gateway city is designated as a baronial territory following the royal family to check the power of dukes and counts. There can't be two barons in a city that isn't even the capital, so if that guy, who is called Bux or something, is really a baron, then he is the lord of Englem, and his private soldiers must wear official military badges or belong to a guard or patrol unit..
Or maybe there are two barons? Without even having time to feel uncomfortable with the conversation that went against his common sense he had built up in another world, the soldier instead spoke in annoyance..
"Hey, it's Baron Buex.."
"what? He just said he was a baron.?"
"What does it matter whether you are a baronet or a baron? You guy..."
"Have you seen this crazy bastard?."
A curse came out of her throat, but a smile began to appear on Eldmia's lips. The soldier understood the reaction as an obvious ridicule, and in a moment of anger he raised his hand. Then, chlam! With the sound, the soldiers raised their spears in accordance with the ritual..
"The criminal bastard tried to gently take me away...."
Just as I was about to show a taste of power to an adventurer who didn't even know the topic, Eldmia opened her mouth..
"Undermining and insulting the authority of the royal family by impersonating an official. The legal punishment is death."
"...what?"
"Deception of the royal family and nobles by impersonating a noble, death penalty. Violation of the Gateway City Act due to clear violation of authority as a private soldier. execution. Participating in criminal activity, attempting to destroy and fabricate evidence. Imprisonment according to the sentence. However, if the case is related to city corruption and excess of authority, up to the death penalty is possible. As a private soldier, he left his duty station where he was permitted to carry a spear. As a result, an attempt was made to impersonate the country's regular troops. Death penalty according to military law. All executions may only be carried out by law enforcement officers authorized by the Crown...."
The soldier's eyes began to roll like crazy as the charges and death sentences poured out one after another without a moment of hesitation..
"...Accordingly, self-defense against the criminal acts of criminals is recognized as not guilty if it can be proven through witnesses and evidence after the fact.."
By the time I felt something was seriously wrong, it was already too late. Eldmia, on the other hand, was feeling great satisfaction in the fact that the laws she had memorized were shining brightly, taking advantage of her nosebleeds in her spare time while working for the Ogatorf family..
"I worked so hard to study laws that aren't even in the law in order to legally get rid of you idiots.."
Eldmia laughed. She was confident that she would be able to find out at once where the guild leader, whom she thought had done the trick, was and who was behind it..
"So who's the criminal now??"
"Go, gonggyeo..."
"Leica. bite."
Leica rushed at me like lightning, shaking her plump buttocks..
