The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

48 – Scene 048# Treasury

*

“count. We are here.”

“Kuhm… .”

In the afternoon, as promised yesterday, Albert and Vanessa visited the mansion.

Vanessa looked around the parlor and burst into exclamations of admiration.

“Hey, as you’ve heard, the count was incredibly rich. The house is huge, and everything here is handmade by artisans, right? It’s hard to find ready-made ones!”

“Tea, have some tea… .”

“Oh oh? Who is this cute little girl?”

“Nyeet?!”

Wendy, who was pouring tea, almost missed the teapot.

“I’m the count’s exclusive maid… .”

“You look a lot younger than that… ? You must be quite capable.”

“Oh, that’s exactly what… .”

Wendy bowed her head in shame. Seeing that, Vanessa smiled. And as she took a sip of tea, her eyes widened.

“Wow!?”

“Why, why are you like that?! Even if it’s something strange… ?”

“This tea is so delicious! What the hell is this car?”

“uh… I’m sure you know it as a tea grown in Orange… .”

“Orange? So, is this the car you brought in from abroad?”

Vanessa asked me with an incomprehensible face.

“count. How did you get something like this when you’re in lockdown? Did you buy some contraband?”

“Luelberta has the right to trade independently with foreign countries. The car is a regular import purchased through a legal channel.”

“Oh my gosh… .”

Albert clicked his tongue as if he was displeased with Vanessa.

“Twist… don’t be immature It’s embarrassing for the guy who will take over the studio in the future… .”

“grandfather. Are all nobles like this?”

“Could that be… Ruelberta is special. He did such ridiculous things because he had this kind of wealth… .”

“Nonsense… ?”

Vanessa had a question, but Albert ignored it and asked me.

“therefore… Would you mind telling me why the Count had called me to this unpleasant place? I was forced to come because of saving Vanessa yesterday, but I feel like going back right now.”

It sounded insulting, but it didn’t really bother me.

Ruelbertaga is a place that is no different from dark history to him.

It would be quite uncomfortable to face your own dark history.

“It is as I explained last time. Albert, I called to give you a chance to atone.”

“her… Did you say atonement? I’m sorry, but I discarded all the research materials I used at the time with my own hands. Besides, I gave up on researching magic.”

Albert added with a bitter face.

“Of course, I don’t think that’s going to make the things I’ve done go away… . So I have my doubts. Count, what can I do? What on earth should I do to atone for my sins?”

I was relieved to hear Albert’s sigh.

Because he is a person who knows the weight of what he has done.

Because he is a man who never takes the weight of sin lightly.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a first-class magician who invented many magic tools.

Although he made a big mistake, he was a true craftsman with conviction.

+

character profile.

Name: Albert Groble.

Age: 72.

Occupation: Magician.

Personality: researcher, craftsmanship

+

A craftsman who disappeared into history, Albert Groble, was also a character too good to lose.

It was entirely up to me whether or not I could convince him from now on.

I put on the coat next to me and said.

“You will know that when you go. Follow me.”

I was standing in front of the central porch of the Ruelberta mansion.

The high ceiling and the stairs leading to the second floor stretched out in front of me.

Luxurious-looking ornaments and paintings were seen everywhere, and the black lion statues were showing off their dignity as if they were alive.

It’s hard to believe it’s an art gallery.

“Awesome… .”

“It’s good enough to call them treasures… .”

Vanessa and even Albert were in awe.

Both of them were artisans, so even a glance would be enough to recognize the value of quite a few things.

I opened my mouth.

“The things here are not even on the treasure trove.”

“Isn’t this a treasure?”

“yes.”

I passed Vanessa and stood in front of a sitting black lion statue.

He raised his head and stroked the head of the man standing dignifiedly.

“All the treasures of the Ruelberta family are hidden in a safe place.”

My gaze turned to the lion in the center.

The only black lion standing on all fours, not sitting down, receiving the gaze of the surrounding lions. It was looking at us with its tail raised, aiming for prey.

I pointed to the lion and said.

“Wendy.”

“Yes?”

“Take that lion’s tail down.”

“A tail, a tail?”

“yes.”

After receiving my order, Wendy approached the black lion.

Hesitantly, he placed his hand on his tail and asked me.

“Can I really get off… ? Won’t it break because I’m not good at it?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t break even if you kick it.”

“Yeah… .”

Wendy pushed the lion’s tail.

“Ki-ing… .”

However, the lion’s tail didn’t budge, perhaps because of lack of strength.

“Hey… .”

He looked at me as if he needed help.

sorry i can’t help

Aren’t you cool? .

Instead, I can give you some advice.

“Wendy. Use what you learn in class.”

I must have learned something from Myoheil or Blanche.

It seems that Wendy has something in mind as well.

“Yes! I’ll try it!”

Wendy, who responded vigorously, took a deep breath.

It is fueled by the mana in the body.

Wendy converted her overflowing mana into pushing power.

Then the lion’s tail broke and went down.

Googoo goo.

A faint trembling began to occur.

It was as if a hidden secret space had been revealed.

The marble floor moved slowly, creating a staircase leading to the basement.

“Five… Isn’t that an interesting device?”

Vanessa muttered in surprise.

Albert asked me indirectly.

“Here… ?”

“It is the treasure house of the Ruelberta family. It is the first place to be shown to outsiders.”

In fact, I only recently found out about this place.

When the memories of Tristan flooded in during the previous ordeal, the memory of the treasure house in the basement of the mansion entered my mind as well.

Albert asked me back.

“A treasure trove?”

“yes. Everything that could be called a treasure is down here.”

Having said that, I was also slightly looking forward to it.

Because all the rare treasures that the Ruelberta family has collected from generation to generation are hidden here.

In other words, it is full of objects made by old artisans.

Vanessa and even Albert could not hide their expressions of anticipation.

“Then go down.”

I was about to lead first, but Vanessa hesitated.

“what?”

A cat with a long whisker appeared from nowhere, clinging to her leg.

“What is it, Count, do you have a cat too?”

“Eh! he, he… .”

Before Wendy could speak, Vanessa hugged Myohail.

“Aww. he’s so cute Do you want to follow your sister too?”

“Miaoong.”

Myohail rubbed his face against Vasesa’s cheek.

“Ahahahaha! It tickles!”

Vanessa smiled cutely like a girl her age.

Looking at that warm appearance, I frowned.

“Count, what is his name?”

“… it’s just a stray cat It’s dirty, so put it down now.”

“a. It’s too neat for that… ?”

shah! Myohail threatened me.

This inspiration is really… .

Not too long ago, he had been sitting in the mansion, and there was no cat, but a serpent.

“Count, is it okay if he goes down with me? Will you listen to your sister and stay calm too?”

“Miaoong!”

“… Do what you like.”

A sigh came out of my mouth.
