Episode 333 Trade City Ramelun (3)
“What are you!”
Siegel took out the dagger he had in his arms and his eyes widened.
“Dapple’s Escort.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders as if teasing Siegel.
“I’ve never heard of Dapp having an escort like you!”
“I guess your information is lacking.”
“This guy…”
When Siegel glanced to the side, the dark elf gritted his teeth and pulled out a scimitar with his remaining right hand.
“You can’t miss it! now!”
At Siegel’s signal, the dark elf kicked the ground and struck down the scimitar.
“It’s a futile effort.”
Baek Woo-jin slashed his sword towards the scimitar that was trying to cut off his head.
Sigh!
A black line appeared in the air, and the dark elf’s head fell to the ground.
“Huh!”
Siegel, who was trying to run away after sending the dark elf, stopped in fright when he saw that sight.
‘How…’
It’s a dark elf. Not a black demon, but a dark elf. I never dreamed that a dark elf who was a master of swordsmanship would be decapitated without being able to withstand even one sword strike.
“Damn it!”
The guy’s power was beyond what he could do. I had to run away at all costs.
Ugh!
Siegel used the assassination technique Small Ghost Stealth, which raises the auror and assimilates with the surroundings.
‘Now if I just move slowly… Huh?’
I tried to take a step back as I watched my body disappear, but my legs wouldn’t move. It’s not just the legs. My whole body didn’t move.
“100 million!”
I was so shocked that I forgot that I was hiding and let out a loud moan.
“I’m sorry, but I’m tired of playing hide-and-seek because of that thief.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at the place where Siegel was hiding and stretched out his hand.
Ugh!
Siegel’s hiding was lifted and his body flew in front of Baek Woo-jin.
“Oh my…”
His eyes were lost in fear of Baek Woo-jin.
“Siegel, mayor Calock’s secretary and Chairman Rodon’s spy.”
“How did you do that…”
Siegel’s pupils got so big that they seemed like they were going to pop out.
“I have a lot to talk about with you.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled coolly.
“It’s no use holding me. “The planning has already begun!”
“What do you mean!”
Mayor Caelach forced himself to his feet and glared at Siegel.
“It’s not just you we’re targeting. Even the lawmakers and executive officers standing on the other side of the empire. The plan is to turn them all into dark demons. Even if you survive, this city is already like the Empire’s… Huh?”
Siegel stopped talking when he saw the red light shining outside the window.
“Fire!”
“There’s a fire!”
“Come out and stop it before it spreads further!”
A fire broke out in the center of the city and people screamed that there was a fire.
“I’m sorry, but I know that too. Is there anything else?”
“Oh, you knew? “This attack?”
“okay. “After the mayor, there are council members and the security chief.”
“What are you!”
Siegel opened his mouth. I couldn’t understand what was going on, even knowing the priority of the attack.
“I don’t have time now, so let’s talk later.”
“Who the hell are you… gasp!”
Baek Woo-jin struck Siegel in the neck and knocked him out.
“Then that fire….”
“I started it. “To prevent people from turning into dark spirits like that guy said.”
The Dark Elves and Gargoyle Knights would have planned to use this quiet night to turn the opponents of the Empire into dark spirits, but they will be unable to do anything because of the flames.
Since Moon Joo-young and Dapple went to Councilman Lou Lang and Guard Captain Jacques, who they targeted first along with the mayor, the Empire and Rodon’s plans were no different from being ruined.
“You don’t have to worry about fire. “I adjusted it so it wouldn’t spread too much.”
It is Ignis who is starting the fire now. Since we have paid close attention, we will be adjusting appropriately to prevent people from getting hurt.
“I will first relieve your paralysis.”
Baek Woo-jin placed his finger on Caelak’s solar plexus and pulled out the paralyzing poison that had stiffened his body.
“Um, thank you.”
Caelak clenched and opened his hands and bowed his head to Baek Woo-jin.
‘What about this guy…’
In addition to his fearsome force, he had the intelligence to figure out Siegel and Rodon’s plans that he didn’t even know about, and even the power of action to stop them. It was clear that it wasn’t an enemy, but I couldn’t figure out its identity.
There was no one anywhere on the continent with this level of courage at such a young age.
“In a moment, Rodon and the members of the Imperial faction will confess their sins. “I hope you come out then and seize the opportunity.”
“You confess your sins yourself? “What does that mean?”
“I will make it like that. Use the chaos to force all imperial factions to retreat. And…”
Baek Woo-jin handed over a bundle of documents to Caelak.
“This is evidence that Rodon and the councilors sold the city to the empire. Of course, there is also something about raids, so take advantage of it.”
After leaving those words, he picked up Siegel and left the mayor’s office.
“Huh…”
Caelak looked blankly at Baek Woo-jin leaving the door.
I have no idea what to do with them who are firmly entrenched.
‘But…’
There was strength and will in his voice. The strength and will to achieve something that seems impossible.
“Huh…”
Caelak stood up and clenched his fists.
‘I guess I’ll give it a try.’
**
“Huh! “Huh!”
Guard Captain Zach gasped when he saw the dark elf collapsed under the bed.
He was attacked by a dark elf in his own home, but barely managed to survive with the help of a man.
“Thank you so much for saving me. But you…”
“I am Dapple, the lord of Linden Castle.”
“Deafle? “Why on earth is the Lord of Linden here…”
Zach’s eyes widened. It’s just incomprehensible that the person who saved it from the dark elf attack was the lord of Linden Castle.
“That’s not important now. As you might have guessed, the ones who attacked you are the opponents of the Empire. “Chairman Rodon passed your information to the Empire.”
“Hmm….”
Zach nodded. Even if I didn’t know anything else, I couldn’t not know that.
“Take this.”
Dapple handed the vial containing God’s tears that the dark elf had to Zach.
“Now that I think about it, what is this?”
“It is a liquid that turns humans into black demons.”
“ah! Then they…”
“They didn’t want to kill you, they wanted to turn you into a dark ghost.”
“You crazy people!”
Zach grabbed the glass bottle and held it tightly as if he would break it.
“Oh, you shouldn’t break that.”
“yes?”
“I have to use it as evidence. All you have to do, Captain of the Guard, is take the bottle and go to the front of the House and shake it. So that the chairman can see it.”
“Just shake it?”
“yes. Just shake the bottle and tell the Chairman to reveal the truth.”
“Hmm….”
Zach looked at Dapple’s complexion. He was calm, like a person with confidence.
‘Now that I think about it, Linden Castle was at war with the Empire.’
He thought that Dapple, who was at war with the Empire, could not possibly have deceived him. Since I owed him my life, I had no choice but to grant his request.
“I understand.”
“thank you.”
Dapple smiled and lowered his head.
“Once this general is over, everything will calm down. “I promise.”
**
“What the hell is going on!”
Rodon, who was in the chairman’s office, gripped the window frame so tightly that it broke.
‘Why at a time like this!’
At this critical moment when the opponents of the empire should be turned into black devils, flames suddenly erupted throughout the city, and all the citizens rushed out.
Because of that damn fire, the black naturalization plan was no different from being stopped.
‘Why isn’t Siegel coming!’
Other people are important, but it is especially important whether Caelak was properly dealt with, but Siegel did not appear.
“I myself…”
“Chairman!”
As I was chewing my nails and trying to leave, the door to the chairman’s office burst open and Siegel came running in.
“Why are you so late! And what on earth is this fire!”
“That’s not the problem now! “As people came out because of the fire, the actions of the Dark Elves and Gargoyle Knights, who were trying to turn the opposition into black spirits, were discovered.”
“Holy shit!”
Rodon could not control his anger and hit the desk with his fist.
“Jacques even secured the tears of God. I must have heard it from a dark elf and I know its name and abilities. Now outside, they are telling me to explain not only the fire, but also the tears of God and the attack by the imperial army…”
“Damn it! “Where is that idiot now!”
“Aloid and the Gargoyle Knights chased Dapple out of the castle.”
“Now is not the time to go after Dapple!”
Rodon ground his teeth until they bled.
‘A bastard with only a brain and muscles…’
Dapple was important, but the problems here were much more important, and I couldn’t help but curse Aloid for chasing after Dapple without thinking.
“What happened to you! Caelach!”
“It was made black. Because of the situation, I left it to the dark elf for now.”
“Huh…”
It’s a good thing that Caelac has been transformed into a black person. If he were there now, there would be a big problem.
“The mayor, come out! Chairman, come out!”
“There’s a fire, what are you doing!”
“Move the soldiers quickly!”
“Why did imperial knights invade my house!”
Voices of citizens calling for themselves and the mayor can be heard outside.
“Chairman. Wouldn’t it be better to hit the player first?”
“Hit the player?”
“The mayor can’t come out anyway, so we’re leaving everything to him.”
“But he is an opponent of the Empire…”
“It’s okay. Since no one knows about today’s vote, we must use that to say that it was the mayor’s will to accept the Empire and cut off the line with the Empire for now. Even if you don’t believe it, you have to somehow gloss over it and take another chance.”
“Well, definitely…”
“If you act clumsily, you will be more suspicious, so it would be better to talk about God’s Tears from the beginning and say that this has nothing to do with it.”
“i get it.”
Rodon nodded. After listening, I found Siegel’s words persuasive.
‘This guy. That’s helpful.’
I accepted Siegel because he was quick-witted and had excellent hiding skills, but now that I see him, he also turns his head around quickly.
If this matter went well, I thought it would be okay to take on such an important responsibility.
“I’m going. “Get ready.”
“yes.”
**
“Where is the market?”
“You need to put out the fire quickly!”
“None of the chairman or members of the council are showing up!”
While citizens were gathered in front of the National Assembly and City Hall, Chairman Rodon and about a dozen lawmakers came out and climbed onto the podium.
“What on earth have you been doing to come here now?”
“Where is the mayor?”
“Everyone, please remain calm for now.”
The citizens fell silent at Rodon’s serious voice.
“First of all, the fire will be brought under control soon as the security forces are moving quickly. And…”
“There must be more to say than that! Chairman Rodon! “Why did the dark elf attack me!”
“that’s right! “I was attacked by the Gargoyle Knights!”
The members of the Imperial Opposition, Loulan and Harry, let out loud shouts.
“chairman! I too was attacked by a dark elf! Please explain clearly!”
Rodon frowned when he saw Guard Captain Jacques waving divine tears in the center.
‘That damn bastard…’
Because of those god’s tears, I felt like I had no choice but to follow Siegel’s words.
“Let me explain that too. Our council has nothing to do with the Empire’s actions tonight. We only accepted them in order to establish friendly relations with the empire that holds hegemony on the continent.”
Rodon knelt down and bowed his head.
“Then why did the Empire attack us!”
“It seems like the person who knows that is not us, but someone who is invisible right now.”
“Surely the mayor?”
“The market? “The mayor was an opponent of the empire.”
“Contrary to appearances, the mayor was actually pro-empire. “He raised his hand to accept the imperial army in the vote held during the day today.”
It was already a popular trend. As Siegel said, he casually spouted lies about voting.
“I had no idea that the former mayor and the imperial army would create a dark demon with a liquid called God’s tears. So…”
“Wait a minute!”
As Rodon was shaking his shoulders and trying to continue speaking, he heard a familiar voice. It’s Siegel. Even though his voice wasn’t that loud, it penetrated everyone’s ears.
“How did you know that the substance that creates black demons is a liquid called God’s tears? Surely no one told you their name or abilities?”
“I didn’t even know it was called Tears of God! “It’s just something I salvaged after overcoming the attack!”
“Me too!” What a black ghost! “This is my first time hearing this!”
Guard Captain Jacques and the surviving members shouted as they took turns looking at the bottles they were holding and Rodon.
“uh?”
Rodon opened his mouth wide.
‘What is this! ‘Why that bastard!’
I couldn’t figure out how things were going. Why would Siegel ask himself such a question? My head became as blank as a blank page.
“Chairman Rodon! Explain!”
“How do you know that these are the tears of the god who creates black demons?”
“Chairman Rodon! Deputies! “Did you really sell us out!”
Even as the citizens shouted, Rodon looked at Siegelman with blank eyes.
At that time, Siegel placed his hand on his face. As the raised hand came down, his face changed. With the face of the man who was said to be Dapple’s escort.
“you!”
[I saved you a lot of trouble by revealing the crime yourself.]
“Who are you?”
“Rodon!”
Rodon turned around at the sound of a tiger-like voice coming from behind him.
“You, you…”
Caelac, who had become a dark demon, was walking up to the stage with confident steps.
“I sided with the empire? Where are you lying?! “Plus, turning the citizens of Ramelun into dark demons and selling them to the empire has gone far beyond the line!”
“Oh no! I am!”
“I declare a city emergency! watch! Arrest Chairman Rodon and all the lawmakers on the podium!”
“yes!”
The guards who came with Jacques began to come up to the stage.
“These guys! dare!”
“go away!”
“You guys!”
As Chairman Rodon, the lawmakers, and their escorts drew their weapons and pulled up the Aurors, Baek Woo-jin climbed onto the stage.
Sigh!
A sword extending outward. With that straight sword, all the weapons of the lawmakers and guards were shattered.
Whoa!
Baek Woo-jin drew the second sword. The sword wind that spread in an arc cut off the aura of the lawmakers and their guards.
“Ouch!”
“Off….”
“Aaaah!”
The Aurors and guards fell to the floor, screaming torn apart by the broken Aurors.
“You, you…”
Rodon glared at Baek Woo-jin, his whole body trembling like he was convulsing. His face is filled with despair, as if he is in a deep swamp.
“You just cheated every time, right? “How does it feel to be deceived?”
“Keueuuuuu!”
When Baek Woo-jin laughed coldly, Rodon couldn’t hold back his anger and rolled his eyes and walked backwards.
“Arrest them all.”
“Oh yeah!”
The guards took Baek Woo-jin’s orders for granted, seeing them for the first time, and dragged Rodon and the lawmakers away.
“You did as I said, right?”
“Who are you?”
“Everything is not over yet. “I’ll tell you later.”
“Everything?”
“I have to go to my subordinate.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned.
“I’m trying hard to run away right now.”
**
“Dapple was that fast?”
Aloid ground his teeth roughly. When I saw Dapple climb over the castle wall, I immediately chased after him, but I couldn’t seem to catch him.
Although he was quick on foot, he cleverly escaped the siege like a rat. I feel like I know what everyone is thinking.
“Spread the formation wider! “Surround it!”
With Aloid’s direct instructions, they were able to surround Dapple on a hill near Ramelun.
“You rat! “I finally got it.”
“You didn’t catch it. “I was caught.”
“what?”
“This is the meeting place.”
Dapple grinned and raised his hand to his face.
Wow!
With a sound like tearing paper, Dapple’s face disappeared and the face of a man I had never seen before appeared with a sly smile.
“This bast cotton ball? “Who are you!”
“He is my subordinate.”
“Huh!”
Aloyd was startled by the heavy voice heard from behind and turned around.
There was a man standing at the edge of the hill.
‘What is it…’
I don’t feel the energy that a human being should have. It was empty and blurry, as if I was a ghost.
Jeez.
A man approaches at a slow pace. Just watching those steps makes my back feel wet.
“Ah, prosecutor! “It’s late! I almost got left behind!”
Mu Young-gaek took off the wig and clothes that had disguised him as Deplo and grunted.
“Good work.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and pulled out his Seolyeong sword.
“I’ll handle it now.”
