Sir Ariad asked, shaking off the bloody dagger..
“Do you feel like talking now??”
“Shut up….”
Uvar rubbed his forehead against the floor and ground his teeth. Then he raised his red bloodshot eyes and glared at the old man..
“Ugh, hehe. I get it. You are that guy. Prince Silver's old viper….”
“That's not what I want to hear..”
Sir Ariad clicked his tongue and adjusted his grip on the dagger, and Uvar's complexion turned a little pale..
“What I want to hear is the names of your collaborators..”
“Hmm, collaborator? what a collaborator?”
“There is no way the thieves outside can stand by and trust in just one gangster like you. There must be someone who will play a decisive role..”
A wrinkled hand grasped the tangled hair. The blood from the old knight's hands flowed down Uvar's forehead. Sir Ariad said, looking down at his bloodshot eyes..
“Tell me about him. Guard Captain Kunried? Gatekeeper Wusen? Alfred, Commander-in-Chief?”
“Hehehe.”
Uvar, whose face was covered in blood, smiled crookedly..
“I will negotiate with the prince. Not a viper.”
“…I guess the lesson wasn't taught yet. So, take off your shoes.”
Looks like this old man really intends to go all the way. read, read.
“wait a minute. Sir Ariad, may I speak to him??”
“You?”
When the old knight gave me a suspicious look, I shrugged my shoulders..
“I have some personal business to do with him. It'll just take a moment.”
Sir Ariad, who was quietly looking up at me, quickly nodded..
“hi. This is my first time seeing you like this.”
“bloody test……
“The gift you sent was well received. The rat was quite flighty.?”
As I was being sarcastic, veins appeared on my scarred face. But there was no sign of opening his mouth..
“I thought about that gift carefully..”
“I wondered why they did it that way. How can I beat up a few people, set fires in your city, and even kill people? Besides, are you sending your henchmen in case they miss you?” “Listen to the bullshit.” “Don’t interrupt.” So I had a question. Why did you try to kill me? Why do you want me dead??”
“joy.”
This bastard snorts, tells me to rummage.
“I finally realized it. That you are just a bastard. You're just a bastard who runs errands as instructed from above..”
“you dirty mercenary bird,”
Wow.
Blood splattered from his mouth as I punched his ears hard..
“I told you to shut up, please.”
“•••Ugh,”
“‘LC, the person who gave 'Torvald the Quick Feet' the reply, is your master. That's right?”
“Heh, heh.”
Wow!
“I don't answer?”
“That's because he knew that Seongju would entrust the request to me. I'm afraid I might go outside through the sewer. Because it would be bothersome if the letter was delivered to Prince Ulkar. That's right?”
Uvar, like a guy who was at the bottom, had a harsh side. Even though both his hands were like rags and his face was swollen, his eyes were full of venom..
I squatted down and quietly looked into Uvar's eyes. Then I quietly whispered.
“Lady Camilla. “It’s Countess Camilla, right?” Uvar's eyes twitched..
“This bastard, this. Look at my eyes turning.”
“this person-”
“Hey, listen carefully..”
When Uvar grabbed his messy hair and grabbed it, he let out a suppressed moan without trying to say anything..
“Huh.”
“Now you have two options. The first option is… I'm keeping my mouth shut.”
I lowered my voice a little more and continued speaking as if in a whisper..
“Then I have to persuade the harsh old man behind me... . Actually, I don't have any clear evidence. So, we have no choice but to force our way into the salt castle. The conclusion is the same anyway, but it is a loss both in terms of time and mentally..”
“Hehe, you idiot. You clearly show your weaknesses..”
“To persuade people, you have to be honest. But, I’m not curious about the results of choosing the first choice.?”
“Despite the opposition of the knights, I will work hard to win the countess’s head. But you know? The Countess has to reveal her true identity. That ugly face. Then I will become the hero who eradicates the traitor from the city. you? You just die. without any chance.”
Uvar was still glaring at me with his eyes wide open..
Oh, I'm tired..
“Okay, then the second option. Put aside the bullshit about negotiating with the prince and confess quietly. ‘I just did what Countess Camilla told me to do,’ he said..”
“Then the story will be resolved quite easily. The knights will take the soldiers straight to Salt Castle. Cut the countess's head and root out the traitor. you? Since you are nothing more than a mere lackey and you have cooperated with us, there is room for extenuating circumstances. I will also speak kindly to the prince. Thanks to you, I caught the witch..”
Before I knew it, Uvar was rolling his eyes. I found that sight so funny that I burst out laughing..
“Now, decide. It's the first, it's the second?”
“•••Time to think about it for a moment,”
Wow.
“kuhok,”
Uvar's head was pressed down and his face was ground on the floor, drooling mixed with blood..
“first, second?”
“Now, wait a minute,”
Wow.
“Nod,”
“first, second?”
Wow.
“Ugh-”
Uvar, whose front teeth were all broken and down to his nose, let out a moan that was as loud as a mosquito..
“I know, I know. Tell me.”
“What are you saying? I knew?”
The guy nodded with his eyes half open..
Ugh, finally. It's very difficult to persuade even once..
Dozens of torches burned fiercely, driving away the darkness. Beneath the waves of smoke emanating from the torches, soldiers holding weapons were spreading a menacing force..
Sir Langbold, who was leading them from the front, muttered in disbelief..
“I heard that the Countess had a coming-of-age ceremony the year before last. I can't believe that such a young woman was a liars..”
In this world, coming-of-age ceremonies take place when you turn 15 or 16... I'm turning 18 this year..
Hmm, was 'Unveiled Witch' that young? I didn't know that.
I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“That's right. It's a real hit..”
“I'm worried that I'm misunderstanding something after hearing only one story about a gangster..”
“Same thing with confessions... The circumstances are clear, so shouldn’t you believe it?.”
“conditions? Were there other circumstances??”
“It's the same with the initials LC written on my letter, and the last time the security guard's operation was leaked.….”
“Oh”
Lord Langbolt still looked uncomfortable. But you can't go against the trend just because you feel uncomfortable..
Meanwhile, Sir Ariad says, 'You'll find out if you interrogate the Countess.' . For some reason, it sounds like ‘If you pull out all your nails, they’ll bulge’.
No, even if I didn’t know the countess’s identity, I would think this old man was an eighteen-year-old girl… . Ugh O
As I was thinking about that, I saw a fire burning in front of me. There were dozens of soldiers lighting torches like this one, and they said, “Oh, that?”
The salt castle stood tall among dozens of soldiers..
Sogeumseong is a building where the lord of the castle resides and serves as a stronghold..
If I think back to the scenery I saw the other day... . There was a palace tower with white tiles at every corner, and it looked like four small circular towers centered on a square tower..
However, on the day when a strong earthquake struck the city, Sogeumseong was also swept away by the disaster. Two of the palace towers broke off in the middle because the nearby floor cracked open..
In addition, the entire castle was slightly tilted and looked dangerous, as if it would fall backwards if a giant pushed it..
In front of the dangerous salt castle, a large pillar of fire was rising. When I looked closely, I saw that what was burning was a large wooden staircase. This is the staircase that served as the only entrance..
“Holy shit.”
Sir Langbolt sighed softly and then roared..
“What are you just watching! Quickly turn off the light!”
Despite the Blue Knight's shouts, the soldiers surrounding the salt castle only hesitated and no one came forward..
It turned out that arrows rained down from the salt castle every time I approached to put out the flames..
When Sir Langbolt learned of the situation, he immediately went to see Sir Lyam. The knight with the feathers on the tip of his helmet was easy to spot, and we were able to join him..
“Lyam, what kind of fuss is this??”
“The castle lord’s personal guards suddenly came out..”
“The SS?
“okay. He massacred the troops who were guarding the Salt Fortress, no, and set fire to the stairs..”
“Did you know we were going to attack and hit the player??”
“maybe.”
The old knight, who had been quietly watching the question and answer between the two knights, opened his mouth..
“Did the information leak??”
“It's absurd that information is leaking. The soldiers I personally managed had surrounded the salt fortress tightly..”
“Wasn't there anyone who came and went??”
“Of course. My soldiers delivered all the food and candles. The only people who came were two nuns called by the count's son..”
•••Uh, I feel uneasy for some reason. Sister Olga, I'm sure you didn't discover the letter or anything.?
In the letter, he wrote that if things went well, he would attack the Salt Castle with Prince Ulkar's soldiers. At that time, I advised him to open the door and surrender and make a contribution.…….
Eh, a. There is a Jjambap that I ate as a mercenary, but I guess not..
I got impatient for no reason, so I picked up my hrunting and shield (I stole Uvar's) and said,.
“That's not important now, is it? Let’s go in quickly..”
Sergeant Gilbert, who was listening to the conversation a step back, intervened and gave advice to the knights..
“You can clear the stairs somehow, but it will be difficult to enter because the lattice door is down..”
“Well, isn't it okay to take an ax or a hammer and break it??”
Gilbert laughed at my question..
“Easier said than done, friend. But what about the murder hole in the ceiling? Would you be able to split a door with a piece of iron stuck in it while being hit by arrows and boiling oil??”
“•••Uh, this might be a little difficult..”
Sir Lyam, who had his arms crossed, shook his head..
“I also have no intention of going in head on. There is a passage created when the palace tower collapsed behind the castle, so you can aim for that. Everyone this way.”
With that said, Sir Lyam led us to the back of the Salt Castle..
The Salt Castle was leaning towards this side, and a pair of palace towers were half destroyed. Because more than half of the roof and exterior walls had collapsed, rooms that were confusing as to whether they were on the 3rd or 4th floor were clearly exposed..
Archers were stationed nearby, and soldiers holding shields were preparing ladders..
“We're almost ready. I take the lead.”
As Sir Langbolt tightened the strings of his cloak, Sir Lyam furrowed his brow..
“What are you talking about? This is my place, so the lead is mine..”
“Don't you know that my quick movements are perfect for situations like this??”
“They have several crossbows. I said I would take the lead on a topic that I didn't even have a helmet for.?”
In response to that question, Lord Langbolt's young squire quickly took off his helmet and handed it to his master. Sir Langbolt chuckled softly, ruffled his squire's hair, and put on his helmet..
“Is it okay now??”
“…It's annoying. Don't force yourself and back off..”
Sir Ariad, who was watching the two knights bickering, let out a small sigh..
