085 – A new route? # 2

When I used to work in a factory.

There was a time when I cleaned every nook and cranny of the factory, making a fuss when I heard that a high-ranking official was coming from the Seoul headquarters.

It wasn’t even a fuss, sweeping and sweeping to places I wouldn’t normally look at.

Did you just clean for a week?

However, the high-ranking person from the headquarters took a quick look around the site and left in less than 5 minutes.

– Director, I made a reservation at a nearby restaurant, so let’s go there.

ㅡThat’s right.

Thinking that our 7 days of preparation was only for these 5 minutes, I felt a bit discouraged.

Actually, it was fortunate that I didn’t get caught, but… .

So why am I recalling this memory now?

“It’s like the Duke of Arcwright is visiting Ludens from the mainland… !”

As Arnoi said, it was because the Duke of Arclight was scheduled to visit Ludens this weekend.

“Perhaps they will come to Arnoy’s cooking club, which is emerging as the hottest potato these days… !”

Because of that, Ludens took an emergency in his own way.

Female teacher Domina sweeps the floor of the club room.

She suddenly giggled and laughed.

“Maybe we can support the teachers with supplies. Aren’t the Dukes of Arkwright one of the richest people in the mainland? is not it?”

It’s rich.

But it doesn’t seem like they’re going to provide any material support.

Cain is not even sending support to his daughter, Victorica.

That’s why Victoria lives on a small allowance unlike a princess.

Of course, Domina seemed happy with the anticipation, so I decided not to talk about it. Everyone has the freedom to dream good dreams.

Then Arnoi said.

“But suddenly a duke came from the mainland… . About this situation, this Arnoi can’t help but be nervous… !”

“What do you mean?”

When I asked, Arnoi pushed his broad chest forward and exclaimed confidently.

“It is clear that you have heard rumors that this Arnoi is looking for and gathering nymph sisters… ! It is clear that you are trying to check this Arnoi, who will later become the director of the Nymph Foundation of the Great NV Company… !”

I don’t think so.

And what is the director of the Nymph Foundation?

I had no intention of creating such a department, but before I knew it, Arnoi took over as the director at will.

When I was about to say something about this, Ariol, who was quietly listening to the story, asked.

“This Ariol is curious about who Duke Arkwright is… ! If it’s a peacock, I wonder if it’s a person wearing feathers… !”

At Ariol’s question, teachers Domina and Arnoi’s eyes turned to me.

He must have thought that I was the only one here who knew about Cain Arclight.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that the Duke of Arclight is a man who rules over half of the mainland kingdom. They have a lot of money and a lot of influence.”

To this story, Domina said, “I see… .” and admired.

However, the story of Ariol, a first-year student with a lot of money and a lot of influence, didn’t seem to reach me very well.

So I added an explanation.

“But it’s not just because of family or money that the Duke of Arkwright made his name known on the mainland. He’s one of the strongest swordsmen in the mainland.”

sword star.

Sword Saint.

He is a man so called.

Even though he’s aged about 10 years since he was called the Sword Saint, his skills probably haven’t diminished.

In this Ludens, which has been transformed from turn-based battles to real-time, how will the Sword Master’s sword skills be described? It was honestly interesting.

Of course, the moment I see it now, my head will roll on the floor.

“It’s Cain Arklight… .”

“Enio, what, do you have something to say?”

“no.”

Every time he visited the club room, Enio, who seems to have come to mind strangely, has calmed down today.

It must be that the head of the hostile family doesn’t like visiting Ludens.

I think I would hate it very much if a comrade-in-arms or the president of the continent visited the place where I work.

“Enio, no matter how much the head of Arclight is, he won’t be able to come all the way here and do you any harm. Calm down.”

“I wasn’t too afraid of that. Still, thank you for worrying about me. Isn’t Viktor the one who should be worried?”

“me?”

“Is the injured area okay now? You had a huge hole in your shoulder.”

“Okay.”

You stayed in a luxury ward for 500,000 Renae per night.

The hole in his shoulder has already been cured.

There are no sequelae.

“Then Viktor-kun, would you like to go somewhere with me for a while?”

now? Are you busy?

It was clear that Enio was only thinking of making fun of me.

As I frowned slightly, Enio’s finger pointed at my lower body.

To be precise, it would be better to point to the solid sword at the waist.

“I’d like to receive something in return for that.”

Is it Tyrbing’s reward?

There is nothing you can do about it.

“I get it.”

* * *

“Underground market. There are more people than the last time I came.”

“Yeah, it’s been a while since it was opened to students and the public. They say people are coming from the mainland as well.”

At Enio’s explanation, I nodded, “I see.”

Even now, the underground market was often visited to obtain cooking ingredients.

I was a little surprised to see the number of customers wailing every time I came.

However, Enio said, “Just because there are more people doesn’t mean only good things happen. Problems arise when there are too many people,” he muttered softly.

Perhaps it was the ‘problem’ that called me to this underground market.

“So, who should I defeat?”

I didn’t have time, so I decided to ask the main topic.

A big event where Cain visits Ludens.

I think it would be good to think about earning money in the meantime.

Time is gold for me.

Enio was quite surprised by my brief question.

“How did you know what I was going to ask? Viktor-kun, were you paying attention to me even though you were injured and hospitalized?”

no.

It’s not like that.

The quest to get Tyrbing is ‘Defeat three people in the Underground Market’.

It was rather good for me that he asked me like this at the moment when I was slightly nervous because I didn’t know when Enio would ask for the quest.

It’s good to get rid of these things later.

Enio said.

“You know that this Ludens is an extraterritorial area where the laws of the mainland do not apply, right? Among them, this underground market is even more so. Maybe that’s why bad guys are hiding.”

“Are you talking about criminals who have committed crimes on the mainland?”

“yes. In other words, the one-handed Cope we are looking for now. He is a wicked man who killed ten people on the mainland and sold them into slavery.”

Coffe in one hand.

It’s a name I know.

The Tyrving quest hasn’t changed.

You can feel nostalgia in a strange place.

“good.”

What can I do?

I also thought I needed to do something called ‘rehabilitation’.

“But it won’t be easy to find. Coffe on one hand said that even in this underground market, two doors erupt. As Tisiphone says… .”

“No, I know where he is.”

“Victor-kun?”

I headed to the third street of the underground market.

A place full of tents made of rags and stinking patients.

“Magic candle… . Just one more sip of magic grass… .”

“Hungry… .”

In this underground market slum full of illegal magic weed addicts, ‘one-handed cop’ is hiding.

It’s over there.

I approached the guy who was looking around nearby and asked.

“Are you one-handed Cope?”

“You, who are you? What do you think I am here… Whoops!”

I swung the longsword I got from Victorica and cut his body.

The cut was not deep.

“Geek… .”

Turning his eyes white with shock, he leads Kankov’s new recruit to Enio.

“we are here.”

“Victor-kun, you are more knowledgeable about Ludens’ situation than I know. Did you know that Cope was hiding here on the mainland?”

Should I deduct one lie?

“I was on the executive committee. I have a duty to protect the security and order of Ludens. I don’t have to tell you more than this.”

“Are there any great sources? Well, I won’t ask any more.”

I’m glad you didn’t ask more.

After that, I defeated the second opponent, ‘Drug Dealer Skooma’.

There’s no need to describe it, he was a petty, trashy bastard.

“Now there is one last one left.”

Does Tyrving’s rental fee end with just one?

However, Enio frowned and puffed out his cheeks as if he didn’t like something.

“… tooth… .”

“Enio, what are you complaining about?”

“… I thought it would take a few days today or tomorrow. It’s been less than half a day and already looking for two. I mean, I wanted to go around with Viktor-kun a little more.”

Do you want to waste my time like that?

I have to go back and think about making money.

As expected, Enio was a terrifying girl who exploited people’s weaknesses.

“Now tell me the final target.”

I was told to speak

I already knew who the third human Enio would be talking about was.

“Bloody Sindivat”.

Unlike the previous two, it is a fairly difficult opponent.

I attack with a dagger, but it causes bleeding so my HP goes out every turn.

Was it the stage of testing the unique skill and performance of the demonic sword Tyrbing?

However, another name came out of Enio’s lips.

“Baron Leobald.”

“Baron Leobald?”

who is that

It was the first name I had ever heard of.

Should I say it feels like the story, which was going well, suddenly sprained and fell into a rice field?

Enio said when I had my doubts.

“It seems Viktor-kun doesn’t know everything either. Well, Viktor-kun is no longer a member of the Arklight family. Leobald is related to the Arkwright family.”

It seems strangely boastful.

Well, maybe there’s something I don’t know.

“So, where can I find that Baron Leobald?”

“I know where it is. But with our current outfits, it’s going to be hard to get close to. Well, I guess I’ll have to put on some disguises… .”

Is it a stealth quest?

It sounds like fun.

“I will play a young countess from the mainland. And Viktor-kun is the butler serving that lady. Let’s go to such a role. Understand?”

“You look strangely excited.”

“yes?”

“Then, what role should this Arnoi take on? ?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Both Enio and I shut up.

Suddenly, Arnoi came up to us and was blinking.

“This Arnoi, I met a familiar face while purchasing information on the nymph sisters in the underground market… ! I’m going to wear this Arnoi too… !”

Enio seemed to be slightly offended, but kept his mouth shut.

But I thought it was a very good opinion.

“Three would be better than two.”
