[Episode 113]
‘I can’t let my dad go like this.’
Apparently, whether half a person or half a building, something would only be half left.
“Kwauuuuk!”
no one!
“Kyauk!”
“What are you doing Erin?”
“Kwy kww!”
Looking for someone to stop Daddy!
I cried hard and expressed my will, but it didn’t look like he understood what I was saying.
me too! speak! Would!
In other novels, dragons speak well, so what’s wrong with me?
It was a time when I just lowered my head because I felt depressed.
“…Eirin?”
My eyes widened at the familiar voice.
“Kyung!”
Callan! Silian!
Just in time, I raised my front paws at a happy face, and the two came running with their eyes wide open.
“It’s really crazy…”
“The doll couldn’t capture half of your cuteness.”
Can you stop saying that with a serious face?
Embarrassed, I waved my hands and rolled my eyes to look at my father.
Only then did Callan and Cillian follow me and turn their attention to my father.
“Oh, your father was there too.”
no what does that mean
“okay.”
“father. But where were you going? Why did he become like this?”
“The culprit who released Hatar made Eirin like this. That’s why I’m on my way to kill him.”
No, cut the front and back with a classy face, and don’t spit out such vulgar words!
‘But were you on your way to kill me?’
Weren’t you going to catch the culprit?
“….”
“….”
I hurriedly shook my head while looking at Callan and Silian.
“Oh yeah?”
Silian looked at me and smiled.
“I’ll bring you a sword.”
Silian disappeared and reappeared in less than a few minutes.
‘This isn’t it…’
Callan was wearing a wizard’s robe and holding a staff in one hand.
“Kyauk!”
That’s not that, that’s not it!
“Yes, we will avenge you.”
That’s not it!
“egg plant.”
And so the bizarre family outing began.
Dad covered me with a soft cloth, so only my face was convex.
“Kyung!”
bumped into here!
As I lifted my front leg, the three stopped at the same time.
‘It’s still there.’
This sweet, yet unpleasant smell.
I squinted my eyes and sniffed the air. This unpleasant smell was faint, but it continued somewhere.
“Kyauk!”
“You mean this way?”
“Kyung!”
I nodded, and Kalan abruptly poked her head in to examine me.
“Kyum…”
Why are you looking at me like that? When I tilted my head, the boy’s expression became even fiercer.
“Where can I go to touch this little thing…”
Kalam looked at me and began to stride toward the direction I pointed to, burning even more anger.
After passing through the alleys, we arrived at an outskirts quite far from the market.
Seeing that there were few people and a tough person walking around, somehow I thought I had come to the place well.
And the place we finally arrived at was a seemingly fine building.
However, there were two fierce mercenaries standing in front of the building, and people seemed busy going in and out once in a while.
“It’s a gambling place.”
“What?!”
Is it a gambling house?
“Yeah, I didn’t know you would go to this gambling house.”
Dad smiled lightly, as if he knew something.
“Kyauk?”
dad?
“Yes, I don’t think there will be any problems here.”
“Who runs this place?”
Callan Etam asked. Then, isn’t Dad laughing?
“me.”
“What’s wrong…?”
“To be exact, this is the place I made to rebel against His Excellency when I was young.”
yes?
I was speechless at the rebellious scale that had been different since I was young.
“Then… just kidding… no. I think I left it to one of my subordinates.”
Dad’s words made me quiet.
You were just trying to say it was a toy, right? As I stared at my father, he naturally took me into Callan’s arms.
“Wait here for a minute.”
“yes?”
“I’m the type of person who is pretty good at finding people who are rotten.”
It’s full of rotten fish over there, though.
Dad headed for the building very leisurely.
The mercenaries blocked Dad’s way, but when Dad moved his hand lightly with a smile on his face, they all fell head first into the ground.
“Eirin.”
“Kyum!”
“Shall we eat something delicious for a while in front of our mattress?”
Callan Etham smiled and pointed at the market. Didn’t Dad just tell you to wait?
As I moved my front paw, Callan Etam hugged me and said it was okay and moved on.
“Kyuwoo…”
I told you to wait, but shouldn’t you wait?
Seemingly reading something from my sullen expression, Silian opened her mouth.
“You do it because you want to get rid of all the useless problems before officially revealing that you are the family head. It will probably take some time to process everything, so I’m just going to play for an hour, did you understand?”
At Silian’s words, I blinked and nodded.
I still looked at the mercenaries upside down on the floor, then headed to the market with Silian in Kalan’s arms.
* * *
A slight wrinkle appeared between Erno Etam’s forehead as he entered the gambling hall.
Everywhere was filled with acrid smoke, and there were also those with dilated pupils, whether there were those who had taken drugs.
Not only that, but the sound of money and all kinds of games going on here and there was so loud that your ears would break.
‘…a unique cigar.’
Erno Etham had once enjoyed smoking cigars, so he was familiar with the cigars circulated in the imperial capital.
The location is specific, so finding it shouldn’t be difficult.
The reason Erno Etham created this gambling hall and did not close it was because it was a place where quite useful information was gathered.
The most valuable information is the law to roll at the bottom. Even on the surface, VIPs and wealthy people gathered at the gambling hall, which was wide open underground.
Erno Etam did not believe that money was everything. Information was also worth the money.
Those who do not have money simply sell information. A place where information is valued and stored.
For a while, I hadn’t used it because I didn’t need someone’s information or weakness.
Except when stealing information from Duke Akolin.
‘At that time, no information came out even if I robbed it.’
A clean person whose front and back were not much different was annoying. No matter how much you shake it, not a speck of dust comes out.
‘I didn’t expect it to be so useful.’
Erno Etham strolled leisurely inside. It wasn’t hard to see someone with a cigar in their mouth.
‘As expected, it’s not here.’
It’s most likely down there.
It was when he naturally moved to the place where there was an entrance to the underground.
Someone put a hand on Erno Etam’s shoulder.
“It is forbidden to enter there.”
“Hands off.”
“This side is off-limits…”
Quaang-!
Erno Etam grabbed the man’s arm and slammed him to the floor. It was so fleeting that you couldn’t even see it with your eyes.
“You obviously told me to get your hands off it.”
Erno Etam said, tapping me on the shoulder as if brushing off dust.
“What are you!”
Guards and mercenaries scattered here and there quickly surrounded Erno Etam.
It was when Erno Etham was about to pull out the sword from his waist with a big smile.
“What a fuss!”
A large, muscular man with a formidable face strode through the crowd.
“It’s been a while, doggy.”
“…!”
The man’s eyes widened, and soon the muscular man shivered and lowered his head in visibly pitiful exhaustion.
“Wo, what are you doing here? The late Confucius…”
“I was trying to find something… but the dog doesn’t recognize its owners.”
“Sorry, I will correct it right away. Leave immediately and return to your seat!”
Seeing the visibly cringing man, the servants made puzzled faces, but backed away from his ferocious spirit.
Their employer was always a fierce and tough man, to the extent that it would not be enough to say that he was a single-handed general.
“Even dogs are said to act like wolves among mutts.”
Erno Etham held out his hand slowly.
Then the man hurriedly leaned over and placed his chin on Erno Etam’s palm.
Then, the mouths of the people around them gaped open.
Erno Etam scratched his chin and opened his mouth.
“So, is the owner of a gambling house worth doing?”
“Yes, I am doing well thanks to you.”
“I see. Compared to the time when I acted as a drug addict and tried to give medicine to the young me without knowing the topic, it’s pretty good.”
“…It’s all thanks to Confucius.”
“I guess so.”
Erno Etam removed his hand and nodded his head. The man straightened up.
“I have a daughter.”
“…yes?”
“One of the guests here laid hands on my daughter.”
His eyes curled and folded into the shape of a crescent moon.
“…yes? Some kind of madman…”
The man’s mouth fell open.
The man was just once blinded by money and tried to harm Erno Etham, and then rolled and rolled under him for years and became a dog.
But you touched your daughter?
It’s amazing that he has a daughter, but a daughter he’s sure to cherish enough to walk all the way here?
“All I know is that they smoke unique cigars, but from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem to be circulated in the empire.”
“Ah…”
The man’s eyes widened even though there was only one piece of information.
“I think I know who it is.”
“okay?”
“Yes, I am in the basement VIP room. It’s a pretty big hand, but he often comes to gamble and meets someone often. But I didn’t seem to enjoy gambling, I just felt like I was keeping my rating by gambling for the room.”
The man added that a secret room is provided to the highest-ranking VIP.
“…That’s him.”
Erno Etam’s face brightened.
“Guide me.”
Erno Etam nodded.
‘To be caught by someone crazier than me… He just died.’
Judging by the look on his face, it didn’t seem like he was simply acting like an asshole.
The man shook his head and guided him.
A man who skillfully found and guided the maze-like underground road stopped in front of the door.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, here.”
“Okay, you wait here for a while.”
Erno Etham drew his sword and took only the scabbard and roughly handed the sword to the man.
“Oh don’t worry. I won’t kill you.”
he opened the door
“Who are you…”
Perk!
“Cheuk!”
“Let’s get hit and start.”
The door closed with Erno Etam’s sensitive voice.
The man who was ordered to stay outside closed his eyes.
Sure enough, before long, the sound of a threshing threshing echoed incessantly through the underground labyrinth.
