I see your code (15)

“If that’s the case, you should definitely give it back. commons. Aren’t we friends?”

“… … Thank you for willingly accepting my request, but when did we become friends?”

This bastard makes me explode every time I see it.

How old are you? The blue young boy.

Zaire Terberots opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“If it’s not my friend, why should I do such a favor?”

“Of course we are friends. Do I have to put it into words? It’s just that we have become friends at some point.”

This child knows how to deal with people.

If it wasn’t for money, I’d be slapped in the back of the head. The return to materialism is the same on Earth or here. dirty capitalism.

“It is good to know with honor. This is the first time I have made friends with commoners.”

“I think I’m going to go back in glory.”

“Actually, it is correct to give back even if the commoners are not close friends. They stole the family’s belongings and even gave them away as if they were their own! Even for the sake of the pride of Noblesse, I cannot tolerate it.”

“Then why can’t we be friends?”

“That is a different matter.”

What are you talking about so verbosely?

“Anyway, is it okay if I just trust you?”

“Of course, commoner. In honor of Noblesse, I will return all items to you.”

* * *

“Without a seal, an item cannot be returned.”

“Oh, Dad!”

I thought this Rihanna sighed inwardly and thought.

I don’t know how much it cost, but it was a family item that was highly regarded in the Empire. Even if the rich go bankrupt, the third generation will pass. I didn’t even think from the beginning that a little kid would just give me that big sum to help. You won’t even have permission.

Lian bowed his head respectfully to the father of Gyre Terberots, the head of Noblesse, Teier Terberots.

“It is an honor to meet the head of the renowned Terberoz family. My name is Ryan.”

Teyer Terberots’s eyes lit up.

I’ve heard of that boy from my son. Disrespectful and rude commoner. He even insulted his family, but didn’t he say he was a funny guy?

However, looking at the polite greeting now, there is no such sign at all. A natural greeting that is neither excessive nor too lowly.

On the contrary, the appearance and the grace that flows naturally make me wonder if that person is not a real aristocrat.

Thayer Terberots smiled slightly.

“I also heard the story from my son. It is said that he trained his body ignorantly, did not know the honor of his family, and ate a roll of etiquette.”

Ryan also smiled.

This man is casting a taunt against the little boy.

“Your eyes are correct. But, they know the time and place.”

“Doesn’t ordinary people say that such a thing is cowardly?”

“It was called a thunder-naked thing that couldn’t do it, but I think Noblesse is different.”

“ha ha ha!”

Teyer Terberots laughed out loud.

“I ate one of these. I apologize for being rude. It’s called Teyer Terberots.”

“I will greet you again. This is Ryan.”

“Sit there. I’d rather talk calmly.”

“Thanks for the favor.”

As Lian sat down on the chair, Zaire Terberoz sat down next to him with a puzzled face.

No help, bastard.

“It’s a bad habit, so I get a lot of swearing, but I enjoy seeing the reaction of others by provoking them for the first time. When you see how you react, you can see the other person.”

“It’s a really bad habit.”

“You’re the first to talk to the front.”

Thayer Terberots raised an eyebrow.

“You said you choose time and place, but I do choose people. I don’t want to have a conversation with an idiot. Do you know what my criteria for looking at people are?”

“You seem to like a dignified person, don’t you?”

“No.”

At Rihanna’s answer, Teyer Terberots shook his head.

“The attitude is pretty good. Whether you get angry, laugh, or refute boldly. It’s really good.”

“Then what are you looking at?”

“relaxation.”

Looking at Rihanna’s mysterious expression, Teyer Terberotz leaned back on the chair.

“A space to get angry in front of me, Layton’s most powerful man. The opportunity to smile even after being insulted. The opportunity to respond confidently without embarrassment.”

“… … Isn’t that too broad a passing criterion?”

It’s not really at the level that you can do anything.

“No. Even if they get angry in the same way, the reactions of those who can afford it and those who can’t are completely different. For those who have a corner of faith, their eyes are different.”

Thayer Terberoz shrugged.

“So far, fewer than 10 people have passed my criteria, but among them, a teenager is the first.”

“It is an honour.”

“In that regard, I have high expectations of what your card will be. You didn’t think that you could simply trust my son and get the item back, did you?”

“of course.”

At that moment, Zyre, who was lying beside him, shouted.

“father!”

Be a father or be a father, do one thing. Rihann looked at Zaire Terberotz with a puzzled look. However, he nodded casually, as if it was familiar to Tair Terberots.

“Say it.”

“That thing was stolen from the Ryan family by adventurers! Of course it deserves to be returned to the survivors of the family!”

“Evidence?”

“Yes?”

“Proof that you are a survivor of the Ryan family, evidence that the item was stolen from the Ryan family treasury. Do you have either one?”

“that… … .”

none.

I just listened to Ryan and followed him.

Gyer Terberotz’s eyes trembled.

“A friend’s words… … Do you mean not to believe it?”

“Of course. evidence. Trust only the evidence.”

“… … But the confirmation is real!”

“A certificate alone is not enough. Don’t you know that you also need a seal?”

“Aren’t there many cases where items are returned only with a confirmation certificate!”

“It’s about when the amount is small. I can’t handle this kind of money like that.”

“… … .”

“Sealing is not just a procedure to be bothered. It’s a minimum safeguard.”

Zaire shut her mouth.

Because there were no more words to refute. It didn’t seem like something, but it seemed like everything was right.

Tair Terberotz smiled delightfully as he saw his son with a troubled expression on his face. It is a good sign to think about what conclusion you will come to.

“The story is delayed. So, what card can you present?”

Lian opened his mouth, looking directly at Thaeter Terberotz’s face.

“Do you know about Wilford Sherrington?”

“know. One of those under me.”

“Who are you?”

“How are you doing?”

With a grim expression on his face, Tair Terberoz answered.

“He was just born with rich parents. I write because of the relationship I have with those parents, but I am not the type of person I want to write very much.”

“He is plotting to poison the Lord.”

“Hmm… … .”

Wilford Sherrington poisoned?

It’s not an impossible thing to say. Because he always wanted a higher position without knowing my subject.

“Evidence? As I said before, I am only a believer in evidence.”

“You can find out by examining the items he recently bought. It would be enough if the Lord’s intelligence was enough.”

“Even if that’s true, I don’t know if it’s a good card for trading. I’ve lived with danger all my life. I have prepared enough for poisoning.”

“It will be difficult to prepare for this time.”

Teyer Terberoz opened his mouth with an interesting expression.

“Why?”

“It’s because Wilford Sherrington, whom the Lord ignores because he doesn’t have the ability to gossip, has a genius ability when it comes to poison.”

“… … Wilford?”

I thought of Wilford Sherrington.

Saggy shoulders, a sullen expression. He’s not a talented person to show off his talent in either direction.

If Wilford Sherrington is trying to poison him, it could be. But does it produce enough poison to pierce his contrast? This is unbelievable.

Rian opened his mouth as he looked at such Tair Terberots.

“There are native plants that only grow in the Andes. It’s a nameless grass, but it won’t be hard to find because it’s a grass eaten by many of Layton’s citizens.”

“What about that?”

Are you talking about poisoning, and then suddenly it’s some random Jasaengcho Taryeong?

“If you eat only that grass, there is no problem, but if you mix a few ingredients, it is a different story. They are all common ingredients and the recipe only Wilford knows, so even the headmaster will not notice.”

“… … How do you know that only Wilford knows?”

“Let’s keep it a trade secret.”

Rihanna smiled as mysteriously as possible. I wondered if I could get one more tteokgomul.

“I will give you the recipe. If you make poison with it and feed it to animals or monsters, it will be evidence.”

“… … .”

Thayer Terberoz frowned.

Ryan opened his mouth to see that. Maybe I need to persuade you a little more.

“It’s off topic, but can I give you a piece of advice?”

“Something?”

He looked directly into the eyes of Thaeter Terberots.

“Even if it is a rusty sword that looks unsightly, it is a black sword. If you stab it, it goes in, and if you cut it hard, it becomes beige. They even get tetanus.”

Rihanna took a deep breath and continued.

“It is difficult to judge a person just by looking at one aspect. Even if you have a belief, you may look sloppy and sloppy, or you may be full of yourself believing something that doesn’t really work.”

Rihann opened his mouth as he met the eyes of Teyer Terberots, who was still facing them with a frown.

“Even if the one your opponent is holding looks like a rusty sword, it’s best not to ignore it. Even with such a sword, slashing a person might not be a good level swordsman, would it?”

* * *

In the room left alone, Tair Terberoz smiled. Who gave him advice? At least not in 10 years.

“Jerry.”

As Thayer called his name, a man appeared from an empty corner.

“yes.”

“How about seeing it for yourself? Do you really think you won against ten mercenaries?”

“Impossible.”

The man spoke in a low-pitched voice.

“My body and my magical powers are insignificant. Just an ordinary boy.”

“But the information cannot be wrong.”

At first, one of the victims was even a temporary hired mercenary. If the information is wrong under these conditions, the organization will have to be overthrown immediately.

He trusted his own intelligence organization.

You already know that ‘Lion Sword’ and ‘Wind Mage’ are survivors of the Ryan family, and that Byron’s scavengers were attacked by them not long ago.

“I just say what I see.”

“Hmm… … .”

But I also know how accurate Jerry’s eyes are. Isn’t he a skill that reached a level 3 knight?

He also believes in the intelligence organization’s ability and Jerry’s eyesight. However, the two results are contradictory.

‘It’s an invisible power.’

From the experience of a long-time merchant, he knows deeply how terrifying an invisible power can be.

Thayer smiled self-consciously.

okay. knew But what about him now? If the boy’s advice was correct, he could have been killed by Wilford, who ignored his appearance.

‘It’s only been five years of playing aristocrats so dull.’

Thayer handed the paper in his hand to Jerry.

“Gather the ingredients listed here and feed Wilford. And when he dies, send the Ryan family things to the boy.”

“yes.”

“Oh, wait.”

Thayer caught Jerry’s as he turned away.

I didn’t mean to say it, but just returning the item is not enough. He didn’t want to leave him in debt.

After a moment’s hesitation, he opened his mouth.

“Tell me to watch out for Byron.”
