Chapter 167. Undercover (3)

Among the criticisms people often make, there is a saying, ‘Do you get money by digging the ground?’

This means that there is no money coming out of the ground.

Of course, in normal cases, that is true.

It is rare to find money by digging.

But today Lloyd’s situation was a little different.

‘Why don’t you come out? It pops up like this!’

His satisfied eyes turned to the hole he had just dug.

A pit about 50 cm deep.

A skeleton was buried in it.

A real human skull, not a model you would find in a school biology lab.

It was an object that a person with a normal mentality would have shrunk from their shoulders the moment they saw it.

However, Lloyd now was different.

‘Ugh. My gold nugget.’

Lloyd’s gaze at the skull was similar to that of old Nolbu’s at the golden calf. Or the look in the eyes of a person who found a 50,000 won bill fluttering along with fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

It was natural.

Because the skull contains precious jewels.

‘That means that if you dismantle the condensed mana, the jewels will become mine. like this. Like this.’

Kiyiying!

His three-pronged mana circle rotated vigorously carrying his dream of wealth and glory.

magic on the skull.

Mana condensed in jewels.

sucked it up

The mana structure was dismantled through the rotation of the mana circle.

Like removing the circuit of a ticking time bomb.

Or like taking out elaborately stacked Jenga blocks step by step.

Mana’s structures constructed for dangerous purposes were dismantled and dismantled.

And it was released through the other arm.

pssss…!

The normal mana was scattered into the air.

How much did he cling to the mana dismantling work?

By the time sweat dripped down Lloyd’s forehead.

Finally, the dangerous aura of the jewel in the skull has completely disappeared.

Of course, a rewarding smile bloomed on Lloyd’s lips.

‘Now this jewel is mine. Hehehe.’

Dalgrak!

Jewels rolled out of the skull and fell in the palm of my hand.

How beautiful and unique it is.

Lloyd looked at the jewelry with eyes dripping with honey.

‘good. No scratches. Perfect.’

It’s already the 24th today.

It was Lloyd who had been wandering around the cliffs of Namaran for half a day.

In the meantime, I found 24 skulls and took that many jewels.

My heart warmed as much as my pockets bulged.

But he wasn’t all that happy.

“I don’t know what kind of rough things you’ve been through, but I wish you all the best. Please rest forever.”

Taking the jewels, he placed the skull on the floor.

He bowed his head respectfully toward his skull.

Then, with careful hands, lest they break it, they took the skull and placed it in a bag.

There were already three more such bundles around him.

24 skulls found so far.

It was a bag containing all of them.

‘It’s a relief that I had a cloth to put in my backpack.’

Otherwise, he would not have dared to carry so many skulls.

‘It’s going to be too much for a funeral, but I still have to bury it in a sunny place.’

They had no torso, only skulls.

Even those were those who were used by the black magicians.

How grievous it must have been to be buried in the cold ground while holding the evil jewel.

Thinking about it, I just didn’t want to throw it away or leave it alone.

A bit cumbersome and cumbersome though.

Before that, I thought it was not polite to people.

Even if they couldn’t hold a funeral, it would have been better to at least bury them respectfully in a sunny place.

So it was.

Lloyd took care of the skull meticulously every time he picked up the jewels.

Then, before I knew it, the sun was over the western horizon.

The night will come soon.

In an instant, the surroundings will become dark.

‘Shall we go back to the inn for now?’

Lloyd took a bundle of skulls.

placed at home and came out again It was because I packed more bags.

‘of course. Is there any reason not to get jewelry just because it’s getting dark?’

The paddle should be stirred when the water comes in.

The sails should be raised when the wind is fair.

It’s the same with taking care of the jewels in the ground.

When you get the momentum, you have to pick up the mulberry.

Just like when you go to a buffet, you have to increase the capacity of your stomach with the momentum to dedicate your soul. Just like when a pre-talk comes from the opposite sex for the first time, it provides an opportunity for relationship development.

When this opportunity came, Lloyd thought that he should take care of all the jewels even if he stayed up all night.

‘Because this opportunity probably won’t last long.’

It was a jewel containing the magic of the black magicians.

It was a matter of secretly digging it up and bringing it back.

After a little more time, the warlocks will notice. They will realize that the foundation of the magic circle that they made and buried with great care has disappeared.

‘So I’m going to take care of it as much as I can before they notice. you can do it.’

It’s like running after hearing the news of a bomb sale just one day.

First-come, first-served gift event Like turning on a light to suck honey.

Lloyd ran out of the castle until sweat soaked through the soles of his feet.

And dug and dug again.

dug up and dug again

With the heart of a farmer harvesting a good harvest.

With the sincerity of a fisherman pulling up a net.

I found many skulls, dismantled mana, and took jewels.

In the process, I also received unexpected benefits such as bonuses.

Ding dong!

[Skill level up!]

]

Checking the message floating in front of his eyes, Lloyd clenched his dirt-covered fists.

Evil mana condensed in jewels.

In the process of dismantling it, he was using the dark sim method at full power.

The process itself seemed to be a good experience for the skill of the dark simbeop.

‘Oh, I’m so glad I came to Namaran.’

Stop the black magicians’ plans.

I also packed a lot of expensive jewelry.

Raise an astounding simbeop.

In the meantime, the places where the slope stabilization method was to be constructed were also meticulously checked.

Underground scanning option.

There is an astounding mental method.

It was something that only one person with both elements could do.

‘Lululala nanna.’

A delightful hum that comes out of nowhere.

Likewise, Lloyd, who made work songs his friend, collected jewelry all night long like wild ginseng.

“What happened?”

around midnight the next day.

It was when Lloyd was counting the jewels he had dug up all night at the inn. I was laughing heartily when I heard a familiar voice from the window.

A slightly cold-hearted tone of voice.

I looked back and saw Xaviel coming through the window frame.

I turned to the boy and shook my head.

“Then what kind of amazing things did you go through to become a shabang shabang lady?”

It’s not that it’s not, it’s the guy Xaviel who jumps over the window frame.

It was the same as the one I saw at the distribution center the day before.

A sober and ordinary dress.

Neat straight hair, long silver hair.

In other words, she was now in ‘Lady Ella’ mode.

Did he feel ashamed of himself like that?

He wrinkled his nose and nodded.

“I couldn’t help it.”

“You couldn’t help it? Did your instinct tell you?”

“…I’d like to answer that it’s a nasty misunderstanding. Absolutely not.”

“then?”

“As I said before, there was an area in Mr. Cannavaro’s mansion that was difficult to enter.”

“A place where security is maintained by magic?”

“yes. It is the basement.”

“Did you end up dressing up as a girl to get a chance to get in there?”

“yes.”

Xaviel nodded.

“No matter how much I am a sword master, I can’t respond to magical defenses. There was no other way to get in without getting caught.”

What do you think of?

There was a slight wrinkle between his brows.

“At first, I didn’t even think about dressing up as a woman. But my appearance was the problem.”

“Because you’re so handsome?”

“yes.”

“omg. I don’t even deny it.”

“Because it is an obvious fact.”

He said it as if it were natural.

“It stood out too much. Even with a disguise, there was no way to change the face. Then I came up with a reverse idea.”

“If you disguised yourself as a woman, even if you were noticed, you wouldn’t be able to associate it with you?”

“yes. He couldn’t even think of a famous knight disguised as a woman. I thought so. So it was.”

The boy peeked up his apron with both hands.

“I was a little worried at first, but no one doubted it.”

“And then she became famous as Lady Ella, the most beautiful lady.”

“…Please forget about that.”

The guy laughed in disgust.

“Anyway, thanks to this, I was able to enter the basement on the third day of my disguise. It’s an excuse to run errands. But that basement is a little strange.”

“What is it?”

“There was another cellar under the cellar.”

“Oh my. Did you go in?”

“It is still there. It seems that only Mr. Cannavaro and a few close associates can enter.”

“Right. Definitely suspicious.”

“Are you still suspicious of him?”

“of course.”

Lloyd looked at Xaviel with a crooked head.

“So you still think of him as a good man?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“Because I haven’t yet found any connection with evil in him. He still devotes his entire day to taking care of the refugees with all his heart.”

“Tsk. Are you saying that while looking at the basement under the basement?”

“That’s because it could be a secret safe that property owners often place.”

“Why did you dress as a woman when you were still thinking of defending Mr. Cannavaro?”

“I’m repeating this, but it’s to ensure that Lloyd-sama’s orders are carried out.”

“The answer is good.”

“It’s thanks to what I’ve always learned from Lloyd-sama as a mirror.”

“Being shameless?”

“thank you.”

He smiled faintly, as if it was nothing special.

Then he asked this way.

“By the way, I asked you earlier, but what happened to Lloyd-sama?”

“hmm? why?”

“Your dark circles got worse. But your expression has brightened.”

“Does it show?”

“yes. many.”

“Whoa. Actually, I found this.”

Lloyd pulled out a black jewel and showed it.

And he told me everything that had happened since yesterday.

A skull found in the ground while surveying.

The suspiciously condensed mana.

Even the jewels that came out of the skull when the mana was dismantled.

After hearing the story, Xaviel’s expression became delicate.

“So you’re saying they robbed or excavated the jewel all night long?”

“uh. And I think the skull and jewels have something to do with Mr. Cannavaro.”

“Do you have any evidence?”

“You’ll have to look for that from now on.”

Of course, there is no evidence yet.

Skulls and jewels buried in the ground.

There was no clear evidence to prove that it was Cannavaro’s work.

But Lloyd knew.

‘This is definitely the work of Cannavaro.’

He could understand it because he had read the novel Iron Blooded Knight.

Cannavaro.

Because he raised the barrier of Namaran.

I’m going to do something similar here.

“So that’s what I’m saying. Did I mention there’s another cellar under the cellar? check it out There must be something there.”

“Mr Lloyd. Aren’t you trying to drive Mr. Cannavaro away because you’re too sure?”

“So you’re going to have to check if I’m right?”

“….”

“Besides, if this jewel really belongs to Mr. Cannavaro, something will change in him tomorrow. You’d think the jewel was stolen. Thanks to that, your behavior will change or your aides will become busy. Make good use of that gap.”

“….”

“Will you bet me that my guess will be right?”

“What bet?”

“If my guess is wrong and Mr. Cannavaro has nothing to do with this, I will call you big brother for a year. On the condition that it is only the two of you.”

“3 years. How is it.”

“omg.”

“Are you scared?”

“No at all. Instead, if my guess is correct and Mr. Cannavaro is the culprit, you will have to wear the same outfit you are wearing now on the day you return to the Frontera estate.”

“….”

“Are you scared?”

“No, not at all.”

“good. Instead, you should be honest in front of the truth that is revealed. got it?”

“of course. Betting is just entertainment.”

It sounds natural.

Javiel also had a hunch that this was not an ordinary occurrence as he heard the story of the skull and jewels Lloyd found.

evil magic.

An insidious plan is brewing in this city.

Xaviel, feeling the ominousness, nodded with a serious expression.

“Then I’ll see you again as soon as I find something. Until then, Lloyd-sama, please be mindful of your safety.”

“okay. you also.”

Lloyd sent Xaviel out the window like that.

The cool midnight air rushes in through the open window.

When I was in charge of it, my mind cleared.

I was re-examining my plans for the future.

‘First of all, we need proof. Clear evidence to prove that the person who buried the skull jewel was Cannavaro.’

if you find it

I’ll go find Count Namaran right away.

‘Then it’s three games. No matter how much Cannavaro is a warlock, if he’s unprepared and attacked by the knights of the Territory, he’ll have no choice but to be arrested.’

Then you don’t even have to move yourself.

You don’t have to take the risk.

It will be able to stop the Namaran Wall avalanche.

‘So I only believe in you, Xaviel.’

A guy can do it.

Thinking so, Lloyd sat down in front of the table.

I started counting the jewels I had brought all night the night before.

and the next morning.

Cannavaro’s eyes widened with anger when he realized that all of the Noctanium, the cursed jewel buried around the walls of Namaran, had disappeared.
