Episode 642 The Egotist (7)
Hong Young’s methods were brutal.
It’s as if you don’t know what’s going on.
Swings the heated sword without hesitation.
between joints and joints.
It sweeps through areas where nerves are concentrated.
Ray, watching the scene from behind, was quite impressed.
‘It’s not getting on my nerves.’
There’s no way she knew that she was neurotic without any medical knowledge.
Saying yes must have been a skill she had learned on her own through countless tortures.
If you teach well, I think you can use it as an assistant?
Watching the sword move to avoid nerves, Ray imagined Hongyoung holding a surgical tool instead of a sword.
‘Good.’
It will definitely make you a little more comfortable when you do the surgery.
Dae-joo gritted his teeth and endured the pain in front of him, who had a fairly relaxed imagination while watching others being tortured.
“Aww!”
“say. Where are the hostages?”
“Kill!”
“Not yet.”
Hongyoung took out a bag of salt this time.
Danny Dae-joo’s screams intensified as he sprinkled salt on the sword and its surroundings.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Ray thought to himself.
‘It’s crazy.’
Bodily fluids flow out when wounds occur.
If salt is sprinkled here, the concentration rises rapidly due to the salt deposited in the body fluid, and water escapes and contracts by osmosis.
The feeling of contraction will give you an indescribable agony.
I don’t know when to cause shock symptoms, so I’m watching closely, but I’m not sure if I’m not the elite of the black room, and my body and mind are strong.
Even Hong-young acknowledged Dae-joo’s spirit.
“It doesn’t come off easily.”
Despite many attempts, he never opened his mouth.
That’s enough to give up.
He is a man who only knows poison.
at that time.
I wonder if I didn’t want to see Daeju’s cruel appearance any more.
The deputy head opened his mouth with a calm face.
“…Cilia.”
“Yes Ino Ohm!”
Dae-ju, who looked exhausted, was angry as he raised a vein on his forehead.
“…Please stop now Daeju. I don’t want to watch any more.”
“Even so, you…!”
He couldn’t speak.
He spat out the blood that had risen up to his neck.
The deputy head couldn’t bear to raise his head and said.
“Is it done now? Stop killing them.”
“Tell me the exact location.”
“It is the southern part of Celia. If you pass the boulevard where the merchants are gathered, you will see a small tavern.”
If it’s the southern region…
‘It’s a place where slave traders are active.’
They were definitely playing in the shadows, so even the place where they hid the hostages was in the shadows.
“Hongyoung.”
“yes.”
Answering the call, she moved her hand.
When I thought the tip of the sword that moved gracefully was shaking.
The new type of Daeju and Viceju fell down.
Hongyeong looked at Daeju once.
“…a great man. It was to the point of madness.”
“Originally, a group called Heukbang gathers crazy people and trains them. Let’s go back soon.”
“…yes.”
Did you feel sympathy for him?
Hongyoung stared at Daejoo for a while, then turned her back.

The news reached Hafman.
Halfman, who was contacted by the mana crystal ball, went wild.
“Southern region! It must have been a place where slave traders were killing it!”
The branch manager, who had been watching quietly, also helped.
“If this happens, I won’t be able to touch it with a light heart.”
The relationship between merchants and slave traders is not so good.
Of course, Celia forbids slavery, so if you get involved, you could ruin your entire business life.
Hafman had the same concerns.
There is a possibility that it will be misrepresented as buying slaves while trying to take hostages from the southern region.
Hafman wanted to avoid being surrounded by useless rumors because of his position in the upper ranks.
The branch manager said worriedly.
“There are a lot of eyes to see for us to move.”
“That’s why you can’t use an agent. Things got complicated.”
“How much time do you have?”
“Until today.”
“yes?”
The branch manager asked back as if he was saying something crazy.
Rescue a hostage you don’t even know your face from the slave market until morning?
If you buy slaves at random, you’ll get Celia’s glare.
he slapped furiously.
“It’s not possible. Are you going to buy the entire slave market?”
“Okay. It would be nice to have a conversation with King Celia, but…”
Normally, I could talk to the King and solve it, but I didn’t get along well right now.
The king will also feel uncomfortable because he has blocked most of Celia’s money line.
The branch manager was well aware of that.
Deep in thought, he opened his mouth.
“Ugh. How about a surprise raid?”
“swoop?”
Harpman’s ears pricked up.
“yes. It is us who are advantageous externally, so we should catch those who commit transgressions and hand them over to the guards. In the process, the treatment of the slaves is temporarily entrusted to the Bonn Corps.”
That’s a good suggestion.
No, that was a very good opinion.
Halfman exclaimed with delight when a breakthrough occurred in the troubled work.
“That’s it! After all, there is no talent as good as the branch manager!”
When Harfman hugged him affectionately, the branch manager hated it.
“More than that, we need mercenaries to put it into practice. Let’s try to find the right guild.”
At those words, Hafman came to his senses.
He dragged his desk and looked at some parchments, then drool.
“We gathered almost all the mercenaries around here and sent them to Lord Taesangdan.
“yes. In addition, Celia is wary of conflict on the border and is reluctant to withdraw troops from her country.”
“Then the guild must be the same.”
“How about getting help from the guards?”
“Eventually it will enter the ear of the kingdom. It’s like covering your eyes and screaming.”
When they are discussing for a long time in the office.
A small knock sounded outside the door.
Knock-knock-
because I’ve never called someone.
Hafman said while tilting his head.
“Come in.”
with those words.
The door opened and a young-looking girl entered.
“Lacia?”
“Why are you so surprised? It’s not the first time.”
She brushed her waist-length hair over her shoulders.
When an unexpected person came in, the branch manager bowed his head politely.
“It’s been a while. Do you have any business?”
“no. I’ve been concentrating on my research for a while, so I want to get some fresh air.”
“yes. Are Ail-nim and Sein-nim in good health?”
“Please correct me. Rather…”
Lacia glanced at the parchments strewn across the table.
There was only data about the southern region and information about the mercenary guild.
Looking back at the situation, it was not serious.
she asked, turning her head.
“Do you have anything? Both of you don’t look well.”
“Umm….”
“I can’t say that there’s nothing going on.”
Hafman looked at Lacia for a while and then confessed the whole story.
Sometimes, when I talk to her, she always gives good opinions.
It was a story that I brought up in the hope that I could receive advice this time.
An unexpected answer came back.
Lacia nodded nonchalantly at the words that she was looking for troops capable of raiding the slave market.
“great. It’s been a long time since I’ve been out, so I’ll help you.”
‘My older brother is in trouble.’
He had a different original purpose, but he wasn’t foolish enough to tell Hafman about it straight away.
Halfman was pleased with her words.
“really? Do you know of a place to get troops?”
“no. I will go myself.”
Hafman was dumbfounded for a moment at the fairly sudden sound.
“…Have you been deaf lately? Although I sometimes hear hallucinations from Master Taesang, I thought I was still fine.”
“You heard me right. To drive out a group of criminals. I said I would help.”
At her words, Hafman and the branch manager looked at each other.
would you like to help?
Are you saying that you will set an example and stand on the front line?
Hafman, who imagined being tortured by Ray at once, refused, frowning.
“no.”
“May I ask why?”
“If you go wrong, you won’t be able to stand up to the Lord Taesangdan.”
It was a very honest answer.
Lacia smiled lightly and said.
“The things you worry about won’t happen. Since I was little, my older brother trained me.”
“If you can’t, then no. Little boy, go home and go to sleep.”
Harpman flatly refused.
you’re a kid
He’s a man who doesn’t mind saying disrespectful things to a decent lady.
Lacia slightly frowned at the deliberately pretty Ami, then smiled brightly.
“all right. Go for a leisurely walk.”
“okay. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said.”
“Give my regards to my older brother.”
With the horse she went out the door.
Halfman, who was cooling his head with a hand fan, let out a sigh.
“Huh, I guess I’ll have to cool off after work is over.”
“That sobriety.”
“why?”
“Did the lady really go for a walk?”
“…”
“…Shouldn’t we hold on to it now?”
Halfman, who lost consciousness for a few seconds at the words of the branch manager, immediately jumped up.
“Chief! Gather all your troops!”
“We’re not some sort of adventurer’s guild, so where do you say our troops are?”
“If you don’t have one, gather the guys who work within the guild!”
If anything happened to her, she could end herself.
At the top of the harp, unexpected blueness blew.
