The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

40 – Scene 040# Toll

*

I watched the passing scenery through the window of the carriage.

The eastern region of Ludlow, the imperial capital, is the residence of the imperial people.

It has the highest population density in the islands, so you can see a lot of people passing by.

Most of them were the common people of the empire.

It was very different from the scenery of the west, where the aristocrats mainly resided.

Two-story houses, at the highest, are lined up along the road.

Looking at it, I felt as if I had visited a city in Europe.

If we had brought Wendy, he would have had a fresh reaction.

But unfortunately, I didn’t come here to travel.

I read the letter from Arthur again.

[To Tristan.]

[I tried to contact Albert as you asked, but there was no answer from him.]

[Looks like he’s hiding somewhere else and making strange things.]

[Albert is such a craftsman since the old days.]

[Still, among the artisans I knew, there was someone who knew about Albert’s whereabouts relatively recently.]

[Leaving Albert’s address he gave me.]

[P.S. If you find him there, send his regards instead.]

[Arthur Ruelbert.]

Apparently, I found where the artisan I was looking for was.

Enclosed in the letter from Arthur was a map with directions as well as an address.

Even though he speaks like an old man, he is an inspiration who takes care of everything.

I decided to get off the carriage with a considerable distance to my destination.

Since he is a noble, he stands out here.

Right now, whenever this high-end wagon passed by, people’s eyes were drawn to it.

That gaze was very awkward, so I purposely got off at a deserted place.

Because I decided it would be better to walk.

But soon after, I immediately regretted it.

“… It’s like a gutter.”

A dark alley where sunlight doesn’t seem to shine.

The smell of mold and rotten I vibrated everywhere.

In addition, homeless people who seem to have not washed are scattered all over the place to sleep.

It was a landscape that made me frown on my own.

It was a so-called slum.

I was only one step away from a place where a lot of people passed by, and this kind of scenery appeared.

It was bittersweet.

This world where magic and monsters exist was no different from the real world.

If there are rich, there are also poor.

I faced a part hidden by the shining prosperity of the Meikahel Empire.

“… … .”

I took a heavy step.

This place was a shortcut to where I was going, and it seemed better than going down a street full of people.

And just because I don’t dare to face them, places like this won’t disappear in the Empire.

The more I went into the alley, the more miserable scenery appeared.

Maniacs and drugged men howling in the trash heaps.

And sick prostitutes and vagabonds were glaring at me.

Certainly, my attire stood out here.

A luxurious shirt with a wrinkle-free coat.

Even shoes polished and polished every day.

It was just the appearance of a wealthy aristocratic son, but this place was a slum, not a place where nobles lived.

It was the same as saying that I am a nobleman here.

Besides, there were those who took the smell of money for granted.

I stood tall on the spot.

Because there were people blocking my way.

I glanced back, but before I knew it, there were tramps blocking the road behind me.

They were blocking my way out.

“… Get out of the way.”

“If you want to pass, pay the toll.”

The guy who seemed to be the head of the tramps said.

He was a tall, middle-aged man of considerable stature.

I was also good at not bringing Wendy.

It was fortunate that it was the day of class with Blanche, but I could have gotten caught up in something like this.

“A toll tax?”

“yes.”

“How much?”

At my question, he said with a mean laugh like a third-rate villain.

“Looking at your clothes, I guess I should give you a million Kaels?”

“Well.”

Is it cheaper than you think?

It would be better to just pay them that amount of money than to waste time on them.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Do I have the mindset of a rich man now?

I casually took out a bundle of 100,000 kael bills from my wallet and held it out.

“Take it.”

“?!”

The boss received a bunch of banknotes without thinking, as if he hadn’t thought that he would pay them without hesitation. And when I saw the amount, I was shocked.

“Oh no?! this child… What kind of money do you carry with you?”

“I don’t need change.”

this should be enough

I tried to keep going past the guys who were staring at the money in a daze.

“Now, wait… at there.”

A few vagabonds blocked the road, perhaps with something else to do.

For a moment, I wanted to go away.

If this is the trend, I thought I could ask them to give up everything they have.

Like the goose that lays the golden egg, they might point a knife at me, blinded by greed.

This will only annoy you.

I absorbed the mana around me and prepared to respond to them.

But the boss shouted from behind.

“Hey, hey! Hurry up and open the way!”

“Yes?”

“If you paid this much, of course you should send it. I had a windfall today. windfall. hahahaha!”

“I’m sorry!”

The little ones bowed their heads to me and opened the way.

Is this the power of money?

As I was walking past them, I heard their story behind my back.

“Hey! brother. Aren’t we very lucky today?”

“hahahahaha. I can end this life now! Let’s expand the business!”

“The silver-haired woman that little brother caught earlier is also amazing.”

stop.

“yes. I’ve never seen such a pretty b*tch in my entire life. I don’t know which noble family it is, but if you sell it as a slave, it will be very expensive. Uhhhhh.”

“brother. Why don’t you try it once before you sell it?”

“under! Baby, you were a man too. Don’t be in a hurry. After I tasted you-“

“Tongue, brother!”

“what? Ugh, ahhh?!”

The pile of garbage next to the tramps collapsed with a sound.

Mountains of filthy waste washed over them in an instant. No, I almost fell over.

A pile of garbage just blocked their alleyway.

It made them covered in dirty dust.

But that was enough.

“Cool! Icbrull! Why is this suddenly collapsing, damn it!”

“E-T-T-T-T! Three dirty… .”

“Damn it! Where is the water?”

“Get out of the way quickly. let it pass.”

“uh? what? This kid hasn’t gone yet, what did he do?”

The guys who found me then.

After knocking down the garbage pile, I gathered the magic around me again.

The leader growled at me with an annoyed expression.

“Yumma. don’t you get out of the way? Do you want to rip off the toll again?”

“Pay the toll.”

“…what?”

“Pay the toll to pass.”

This time, when the position was changed, the tramps all glared at me in amazement.

“under?”

“The toll is all you have, including information about the woman you talked about earlier.”

“Is this kid crazy? What are you trying to figure out? yes?”

The leader took out a dagger and held it.

The dirty blade was quite sharp.

“Hey. f*ck. this piglet run away as soon as possible We feel a little dirty.”

“Are you saying you can’t pay?”

“This crazy bastard?! Why are we giving it to you! Aren’t you a kid? Don’t you see anything now that you have a lot of money?”

It was the moment when he tried to threaten him by brandishing his sword.

I exploded the emotions boiling within me.

[You are ‘angry’!]

“Suck?!”

The tramps, including the chief, held their breath.

Those who received my fierce anger with their whole body froze on the spot.

Cold sweat could be seen running down their foreheads.

“What, what… ?! Is it hot!?”

“Tongue, brother… ! Sue, I can’t breathe… !”

“Cheuk… .”

The faces of the guys who were weighed down by my anger turned blue.

There were some who gritted their teeth and endured like a boss, but there were also weak-willed ones who trembled and sat down.

When I think about it again, I was good at not bringing Wendy.

From now on, it’s not a scene for kids to see.

I opened my mouth slowly.

“i get it. Everyone can’t afford this.”

I picked up a long iron stick that had fallen from a pile of fallen trash.

And I remembered the man’s move that overpowered Blanche with a single mace.

“From now on, everything I robbed is mine.”

[You are ‘jealous’.]

An ugly feeling welled up inside me.
