I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

35 – Underground ticket – (2)

Beggar King Brace Welker’s daily routine begins at midnight.

On a dark night when everyone is asleep and even the gods have turned their backs, Brace enters the underground waterway through a secret passage. A dark waterway with cracks everywhere. This is the shadow of the empire and the den of crime. It was a realm of rats.

Drooling.

First, clean up the musty, damp workroom. Cleanup is the act of scraping off bloodstains on the floor.

Yesterday seems to have been all over the place. Apparently, his subordinates dismembered a person to prepare supplies for the black market. I took out all the organs and put away the bodies that were no longer needed, but there was a red puddle of blood on the floor that I hadn’t cleaned up yet.

Take a brush and gently push the solidified blood into the drain. It was something that they did every day because they couldn’t avoid bloodshed when they earned money on this floor.

When the work area is finished, the desk is laid out and the books are organized. It records in detail what the day’s income was and who died and who killed. Brace, the middle manager of the tangled web, was obliged to write a report and send it to the top.

“Let’s see.”

Talitha had a fever of guests today. I should give you a bonus

On the other hand, I didn’t get a single Mara. After all, who would want to buy and eat a woman with no limbs? It’s a waste of money to feed it, so I’ll have to throw it to a guy with bad taste.

Brace dispassionately analyzed and wrote the performance, but his writing was so bad that no one else could recognize it.

“Whoa.”

Brace relieved a sore shoulder after a hard day’s work.

If you write a business plan in this way, the moon will rise above the top of your head before you know it. Of course, you can’t see the moon from the underground water canal.

Take the tea leaves from the cupboard and sprinkle them on the brass bowl. Then, rainwater collected in advance was poured over it. Although tasteless, tea was nonetheless treated as a luxury in its own right in the aqueduct.

“hehehehe.”

A hum comes out of nowhere.

After enduring the life of the criminal world, which I hated at first, for more than ten years, I got used to it and even liked it. The smell of blood was fragrant, and the view of the sultry sewer was like a beautiful flower garden.

Brace slowly closed his eyes and wished that this beautiful daily life would continue.

fall out.

Kwagak!

Of course, that wish did not last even a second.

“What, what!”

Brace hastily kicked the chair. I slid open the sliding door of the workshop and went outside.

There was a bar outside the workshop. It was a place to sell cheap brews to the gutter’s crappy bastards. He also sells illegal drugs.

As usual, the bar, where harsh words had to be exchanged and chattered, was literally a fight.

“Ugh, ugh!”

One subordinate crawling away bleeding.

One of his subordinates, who was holding him between his crotches, groaned in pain and rolled over and over.

Lastly, one of the waitresses who seemed to have fainted and crashed into a wall.

Brace panicked and grabbed a man rolling nearby by the collar.

“How did this division happen! What is it!”

“Ku-chup.”

Then the man coughed and vomited blood from his mouth. There were bits of broken teeth mixed in.

The chapped lips were swollen.

“Tongue… older brother.”

“What! Speak!”

The man muttered with a leaky voice from his broken teeth.

“A strange guy is here…”

“what?”

“……Mi, you crazy bastard.”

Brace has been running this bar for over a decade. Since they were selling medicine, the malicious customer, or son-in-law, could boast that he had seen more than the stars in the sky.

However, such grandchildren were bound to be kicked out naked after being thoroughly clubbed by the activists who had been planted in advance. This is the gutter. It wasn’t a place to be upset about eating some cutlery.

Since we planted guys who use some strength, even a fairly confident swordsman would lower his head here.

By the way!

Who is this great bastard who is turning this strict pub upside down like a dog’s wings?

Brace was so angry that he threw his men away and walked out into the center of the bar.

“Oh, is he your boss?”

There, a gray-haired man was sitting in a chair.

One of his subordinates, whose hair was held in his hand, nodded while weeping with a swollen face.

I must have ordered the entrance to be secured, but why are you here? Could you please guide me here? I wanted to get angry, but I had nothing to say when I saw that he had become a super corpse.

Brace gulped and tried to look as grim as he could.

“What are you doing! Did you think you would be safe after doing this in someone else’s karma!”

“As you can see, are you all right?”

The gray-haired man answered calmly and spread his arms out. In fact, a solid body with no scratches caught my eye.

Then, as he opened his arms, he saw a long, silvery object shining through the exposed hem of his clothes.

‘What is it, a sword?’

It’s not just a sword either. A red jewel was embedded in the tip of the hilt finished with thorough craftsmanship.

Brace has a sense of his long criminal life. That is undoubtedly genuine. The man who came all the way here with a sword like that. As if he didn’t even need to use a knife, he slashed the ends of the organization with just one fist.

Behind the man was a blonde woman who was standing there as if the place was very uncomfortable. He was wearing a hood, so his detailed face was not visible, but he had a beautiful and well-maintained appearance.

There had never been a woman as beautiful as that in this gutter. Mostly just filthy sluts rolling down the alleys spreading their legs at men.

In other words, it means the daughter of a precious house.

Brace, who finished his judgment, completely changed his expression.

“……Ahahahaha, I don’t think I recognized it before, sir…… What are you doing here?”

“yes?”

“I’m sure I paid the rent for this month to the person who came to visit me last time, but…”

Brace hastily bowed down.

Then he clicked his tongue and rebuked his subordinates.

‘Jerk the. Just look at it, you’re a knight. You should have bowed quietly!’

This is also the beginning of the waterway. As a result, there were frequent uninvited guests.

Among them, the most evil are the guards and knights. With the empire behind, he came in and played a game for the purpose of taxation, so as a middle-management brace, he had no choice but to solve it through sabi.

However, it is unusual to visit this often.

It’s even rarer to beat up our kids.

Especially when you bring a woman.

“Ah, do you really think I’m here to get money?”

“……Yes?”

The man in front of me smiled brightly.

The long scars on his lips distorted, creating a creepy appearance.

“I don’t take money. I’m just looking for someone.”

“……Ah, is that so?”

“I wanted to resolve it peacefully, but you attacked first. It was self-defense to the last.”

‘Where do you look, this is self-defense!’

Brace managed to suppress the urge to do so.

Instead, he gave a business smile.

“Ahahahaha, so who is the person you are looking for?”

Brace hurriedly took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him.

It was a list of the women handled in this store.

“If you’re looking for a girl, this is it. Our shop is rumored to be a very smart Talitha.”

“…that’s ridiculous.”

The man crumpled the paper and threw it back.

The hooded woman picked up the paper and read it, then frowned.

“Pretending to be decent about being a dirty pimp.”

“Ahahahaha…”

Come to think of it, there was no way he would find a prostitute when he was carrying around such a pretty woman. Brace realized that his thoughts were short-lived.

“It’s a really bad place.”

The man got up from his seat and approached Brace.

In the blink of an eye, the view returned with a crackling sound.

“Ugh opera!”

Brace spun through the air without knowing why and fell to the floor.

My cheeks are tingling.

Blood flowed and the taste of iron lingered in his mouth.

It seems that the nose bone is broken.

“Ah, ugh.”

The pain you feel for the first time in a while. Brace crawled on the floor.

A strong hand holding his hair and lifting it up.

Moonlight eyes turned to him.

“Where is the mouse king?”

“……Hye?”

“The Mouse King. You bosses. Where are you?”

The man said with an expressionless face.

mouse king? It was a word I had never heard before.

Brace pleaded, pressing his nose to the floor with his hands together.

“That, that’s what he looks like! I’ve been here for over ten years, but I’ve never seen a rat king!”

“Sigh.”

When I desperately shouted with a leaky pronunciation, the man let out a deep sigh and slammed the brace.

“Ugh.”

hit the ground again

sick and cold

“You don’t know either.”

Scratching the back of his head, the man looked around.

Seeing the miserable state of their boss, the subordinates were terrified and backtracked, knocking their butts off.

“Since you seem to be the highest here, I don’t know if I have to ask the little guy for a hundred days, then.”

“Yeah…”

“I can’t help it. Bring your immediate superior. It won’t be there.”

“That, that’s…”

“Would you like another shot?”

Brace hesitated, and the man raised his arms and growled. Long fangs caught my eye.

‘f*k. How could this kind of lightning happen?’

Brace groaned through tears. There are countless times I’ve been beaten while eating a knife, but this was the first time I’d been beaten unfairly.

Besides, call your boss. If that is the case, it is clear that it will be unconditionally broken.

If you don’t call it that, that man will kill himself.

“Keuheugh…”

The situation of bevelled.

Brace was sobbing.

“You don’t have to.”

At that moment, a voice like a jade marble rolling rang through the bar.

again and again.

I heard footsteps and then a woman, equally dull, walked into the dingy bar. She is a slender woman with brown skin and long black hair. His body was tightly wrapped and his face was covered with a veil, so he could not see his face. However, the whole body exudes a strange atmosphere.

As she passed by, a pungent odor lingered in her nostrils.

“I never dreamed that the Empire’s Guardian Knight would come this far. I should have contacted you in advance.”

The woman who spoke succinctly pulled a chair and sat down.

She turned her gaze to Brace. Black eyes were wet with pity.

“It’s hard work, you too.”

“I’m sorry…”

Brace knew that woman.

Isn’t he the one who dedicates the report every day.

The thieves’ guild, which has the largest piece of interest in this underground waterway.

The master of the thieves’ guild.

“……Hilda the Thistle.”

Brace muttered that, and Hilda winked at her veiled eyes.
