Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Expansion (1)

31

The noisy upstairs was quiet.

A cold sweat formed on Brack’s forehead, who was waiting in the basement.

A sudden disturbance may arise, but it must not have ended in silence.

As dry saliva was dripping down, I heard the sound of the legs of the table scratching the floor overhead.

Through the crack in the slightly opened basement door, something the size of a fist rolls in.

“…?”

Shhh profit!

“damn!”

As smoke leaked out of the fist-sized sphere, Brack, who hadtily covered his nose, ran with Suha to the secret passage.

The passage leading to the warehouse built right next to the building was Brack’s last lifeline.

Brack climbed up the ladder and looked around with his head sticking out of the corner of the warehouse.

‘none.’

Once inside the warehouse is safe.

Brack opened the warehouse door with joy, and Rey was approaching from the darkness, enveloped in a blue current.

Brack’s heart pounded.

“Which of the two is Brack?”

“Lord, kill me!”

At Brack’s command, Suha inadvertently stepped out of the warehouse.

Rey shook her head and swung her sword as if she knew well.

👌👌👌👌👌

Suha couldn’t even scream and her neck fell.

Ray entered the warehouse and met his eyes with Brack.

“Let’s go easy and easy.”

As Rey put his finger to his mouth, Brack froze and rolled his eyes from side to side.

Ray paused for a moment for the smoke to come out of the basement.

According to Jimmy’s explanation, if he inhaled that smoke in an enclosed space, he would lose consciousness at some point.

As the smoke subsided, Ray kicked Brack down the ladder.

“Come on, to the Chamber of Truth.”

“Big!”

Holding Brack in pain from his back, Rey went down to the basement.

“Are you Brack?”

“Yeah, yes, but…”

“I came here to ask you something. The road to get there was a little rough.”

Upon entering the basement, there was a small prison.

Behind the iron grate, two children about the age of Ray were asleep.

“These bastards were stealing my gacha from the back hole.”

Looking to the right, there was a stylish desk that didn’t fit in the basement.

Small papers were scattered on the desk.

Ray, sitting in the chair, asked Brack, reading the text on the cheap paper.

“How does human trafficking work? Is there even an auction house in a shady place?”

“Stand, I guess. That… there is a broker. It connects us with our customers.”

“That makes more sense.”

Ray opened the desk drawers one by one and continued asking questions.

“Remember the kid Carl and Hans tried to kidnap recently?”

“…yes?”

“You guys worked hard to get your parents to run away. You sent Carl and Hans to take the kid when he was left alone.”

“Well, I remember…”

“Wizard.”

Rey did not miss the moment Brack’s eyebrows trembled slightly.

“The wizard must have ordered him. To kidnap the child. Remember?”

“Well, that’s fine with me…”

Ray got up from her chair.

It was then that Brack felt a strong regret.

“I, there…”

“Get down on your knees.”

“Knee? Turn it off!”

Brack, who was trampled on by his ankle, trembled with his mouth covered.

“If you’re going to rebel, you can bite your tongue hot. If you’re not confident about that, let’s go easy.”

“Ugh…”

“What is the identity of the wizard who instigated the kidnapping?”

“I, I don’t even know…”

Kwagak!!

A sword swung like a whip struck the ground right in front of Brack.

Brack, with a stone shard in his face, involuntarily stepped back, then immediately returned to his seat and knelt.

Rey aimed his blue sword at Brack’s neck.

“Do you think I’m joking now because I say nice things?”

“Poetry, the mayor! Simone, the son of the chieftain, the Viscount Guardi writer! Simone’s aide ordered it!”

“Is the guy named Simone a magician?”

“Yeah, yes.”

“Is this bastard always playing around?”

Ray frowned, and Brack was stunned.

“Come on, wait! What’s the matter?!”

“What’s wrong with the wizard, being close to the son of the vissitor’s chieftain, and acting as an entourage?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! It’s because you don’t know the Viscount’s situation well!”

Rey stared at Brack for a moment, then returned to his seat and checked the drawer he was rummaging through, warning him.

“Let’s answer straight when the limbs are running well?”

“All right!”

“Lower your voice.”

“Yes, yes.”

“What’s the matter with the Viscount?”

“The lord did not show up for several years… so the whole business was being handled by the vassal.”

“The lord is missing, and the valet is acting as a substitute for the lord?”

“…That’s right.”

pudding!

Rei, who ignorantly opened the locked drawer, looked at the contents inside and narrowed his eyes.

The blue feathered bird was dead with its wings ripped off.

it’s a bridge

Next to the bridge was a torn piece of stationery.

Ray picked up the stationery. I could not interpret it at all, even though I knew whether encryption was used or not.

“Brac, I’m asking just in case, did Simone have an affair with you to overtake her father?”

“…That’s right.”

“The wizard also intervened in the process.”

“That’s right.”

“What the hell were they trying to intervene?”

“Well, I’m not sure. It really is!”

“You’re going to be bored.”

Rei pressed her frown on her forehead to make it bloom and organize her thoughts.

‘The lord has disappeared. But, looking at the fact that there have been no problems so far, it must be said that the lord prepared in advance so that the chieftain could take over his role.’

For the past few years, the Viscount has been running without any problems.

But now there will be a problem. The bastard mobilized the gang to beat his father.

Isn’t the Georgia family already running around, blurring the atmosphere?

“Brack, to be honest.”

Rey sighed and lamented herself.

“I wanted this to be simple. I just wanted to get rid of one stupid wizard and it would be over.”

But, like Matthew’s hypothesis, strange things started coming out of the back and forth.

When I realized that everything from the gang to the dark battles in the territory was related to the wizard, my head was on fire.

“The board is bigger than I thought. Do you know anything more about wizards?”

“When the aides who serve as the eyes and ears of the chieftain were removed, they actively came forward…”

“Isn’t it one?”

“Wow, there were several. I don’t know the exact number, but… I followed one person’s orders.”

“Is the person who instigated the kidnapping that great magician?”

“That’s right.”

“Aha…”

Rey laughed and grabbed the back of his nose.

“Hey, have you ever heard of a wizard’s name? Do you have any idea what it looks like?”

“I don’t know at all. Joe, if it’s Georgia, you might know something… Ugh!!”

Brack was startled, scratching the floor with his hand and backing away.

Tears of blood were dripping down Rei’s eyes.

“Is this the one who wrote this?”

“I, the flying bridge, was killed by the wizard and we retrieved it. Oh, maybe the chieftain sent it…?”

Characters that have been randomly arranged are rearranged according to the rules.

While overlapping the disappearing and newly merged characters, Ray read the encrypted letter with his tongue biting in order not to faint.

[The real power has been robbed.]

[Assisted by the Georgia family.]

[Many officials in charge of public security and administration are conciliated. Non-cooperative figures are missing.]

[The protagonist is identified as Simone.]

[Confirm the existence of the Warlock.]

[A force that harmed ‘Titty’.]

After reading the last line, Ray let out a sigh.

[Phillips, requesting the dispatch of troops immediately as a proxy for the lord. I hope the territory is back to normal. Fulfill your obligations under your oath.]

“What the hell did you do with your hands up until you get to this point? Did you even put a hot girl next to you? Did you even suck up all your energy on the bed?”

“It’s not like that, but…”

“Then what is it? Oh, I’ll turn.”

Somehow, the starting area seemed to be a bit ordinary.

The Countess, the starting area, was quite a peaceful place for facing the sensational secret of birth from an infant.

“Yeah, I understand. There could be one or two events like this. But damn, I don’t know what kind of event this is.”

Ray, so to speak.

I was possessed by a novel I hadn’t read.

Since there was no strategy book, it was necessary to judge the situation and move based on fragmentary information.

How many clumsy wizards have been trying to eat some rice cakes?

Or is it a matter that cannot be touched carelessly because there is a great story or conspiracy involved?

No one gave a clear answer.

“Transcendent in heaven, if someone sent the wrong person, wouldn’t it be like a revelation or something?”

[…]

“Yeah, I didn’t expect it, you idiot.”

What do I want from that stupid bastard?

Grumpy Ray recalled the original purpose.

Elimination of the Warlock. If removal is not possible, at least accurately identify the identity.

‘Looking back at it, if I charge myself with a sword, I think I’m going to die.’

First of all, I had to inform the Earl of Phillips of this situation.

I don’t know what kind of relationship the Viscount Gardi and the Earl of Phillips have, but if the warlock is also involved, I’ll try to solve the problem.

I was just worried.

If the warlocks notice the Count’s movement and withdraw their feet first, it will be extremely difficult to track them.

The fugitive warlocks will always return to the orphanage.

Rey snapped her fingers.

In her previous life, Rei didn’t like gambling very much, but throughout her reincarnation, she did gacha.

‘This is the last chance to sweep the Viscount like this…’

Even at the risk of uncertainty, I had to achieve my goal when I took the opportunity.

Ray opened the back of the letter and picked up a pen that was rolling on the desk.

[Hello, craftsman. I am writing you after a long time.]

I wrote this on purpose because of the risk of being robbed.

[I am in Dinar. The Georgia family, who buys and sells children, picked up these letters along with Bridge, who had died. Can you decipher what that means? Wasn’t the craftsman capable of catching something like that?]

All necessary information should be included.

Rey pondered for a moment and continued to move the pen.

[The atmosphere of Dinar has changed a lot. Just like the owner of the land has changed. Please be aware if you ever visit. It seems that I will need a little more time before I return, so please take care of your health. I hope to see you again soon.]

Ray, who had written a few more lines, asked Brack.

“How many wizards have you seen? Just tell me.”

“Three, three to five? It must have been about. They all wore the same clothes, so unless they were gathered together, it was hard to tell if they were the same person.”

Rei added the words ‘at least 3 to 5’ above the word ‘Warlock’ written in the code by the chieftain.

Rey came out of the basement and reached out over her head.

After waiting for a while, the bridge landed on my arm with the sound of the wind.

Bridge was biting a wildcat-like beast with a blue beak.

“You’re not an eagle, you catch this by yourself? You’re a spirit creature.”

Rey, who smiled lightly, tied the letter to Bridge’s leg.

“Quiet, fly low. Don’t get caught.”

Bridge spit out a wildcat-like beast and flew low in the night sky as if he understood the words, out of sight.

Rey, who prayed for the bridge’s safety, went back down to the basement.

“Give me the prison key.”

“Yes? Yes, here it is.”

Rey, who went into the prison where the children were held with a single dagger, reached out through the bars and locked the lock again.

“That… what are you doing?”

Ray, who had been imprisoned on his own, asked Brack, looking at him.

Rey tossed the key pack and then pointed to the pocket.

“Put the key back.”

“All right.”

“Hey, do you have any children to raise too?”

“He, he has one son and one daughter…”

“Is it a hobby for these bastards to sell other people’s children and put meat in their own children’s mouths?”

Rey, with his tongue stuck, sat down on the floor.

“I’m not going to install people like you, so when I’m done, I’ll have to let Jimmy take care of Dinar.”

“…”

“I’m also making a ‘Dinar Branch’, a Jimmy Nursery School full of charity and love.”

Rei, who was struggling with orphans because of the recent sweeping away of orphans nearby.

However, starting today, there were going to be quite a lot of coins to run gacha.

“Don’t worry too much, Brack.”

“?”

“Once the Dinar branch is completed, I will enlist your sons and daughters first.”

Whoops!

A dagger lodged in Brack’s forehead.

Unable to withstand the shock, Brack’s body rolled to the floor.

Rey tucked herself between the sleeping children.

‘I wish I had some luck.’

Since he had confirmed the existence of many warlocks, he had to hide himself.

However, Rei, who had to somehow figure out the wizard’s identity, decided to look for an opportunity by pretending to be a victim.

If Simone wants to hide this massacre, she will send an aide to take care of it.

If we were lucky, Simone’s entourage might retrieve it and give him a chance to gather information about the wizard closest to him.

Of course, if you are unlucky, you will be trapped in the poison and you will die.

All-or-nothing gambling.

Rey lamented her situation and closed her eyes.

Lying in the bloody darkness for a long time.

Rei woke up again to the sound of footsteps from the ceiling.

Who is going to ask for the bait?

Someone’s voice was heard in Rey’s ear as she stared through the iron bars.

“I think I’ve been attacked. What should I do? Simone-sama.”

A smile bloomed on Rey’s lips .
