[Abduction] Double arm scales (10)
― ‘A lot of time has already passed since the golden king, Elte, left this world. Even when the name ‘Elte Sanghoi’ is gradually abandoned… it was… ‘
As the whole story began, Slog declared calmly in the conference room.
Now is the time to fulfill that resolution.
* “The sun is too… You are dazzling.”
A voice that seemed to stop at any moment. Slog said with a pale face on the conference table.
“okay,… Anyway… . the sun rises The era of Elte Kecheln is over, so the old ones should go away.”
Slog closed his eyes and whispered quietly.
The next round is Lortel Kecheln. As if talking about that fact for granted.
It even feels unnatural.
A colossus struggling to survive somehow.
Compared to the desperate slog who tried to break the situation by screaming, swearing, and even teasing his tongue… It was such a whispering voice.
with that voice… spoke slowly
“How far do you know, Ed Rosteeler?”
“—Even the fact that you didn’t have the heart to become a Kaiju in the first place.”
“I thought I was hiding it well, but you are very quick-witted… She even fooled that foxy Lortel’s eyes… ”
After all, Slog is a merchant who has survived decades in this old deck.
He should have known better than anyone what the outcome would be if he recklessly attacked a prestigious aristocratic family.
Nevertheless, the ridiculous plan went ahead.
By persuading everyone, even deceiving the allies that he had a ‘back ship’ that didn’t even exist.
Slog kept his eyes wide open as blood dripped from his back. Soon, a stream of blood dripped from his mouth.
“to me… . You seem to have a lot to ask.”
Blood runs along the surface of the conference table, and then seeps into the floor.
The part I didn’t like while handling this work.
Trying to dig through them one by one would take too long.
The scattered clues look too chaotic on the surface, so it’s not easy to put them all together and organize them.
Nevertheless, if you look back on your memories… Quite a lot.
― ‘Um… This regression magic was honestly not that efficient magic. There are so many things to prepare, and so many conditions… You know the basics… ‘
― ‘That merchant is also strangely kind. It’s the feeling of moving in a way that doesn’t impede one’s life.’
Lucy’s analysis of the degeneration curse on Lortel.
Even though there were a lot of sure means such as assassination and kidnapping, why did he bother to subdue Lortel using lukewarm and ineffective means such as the curse of regression?
― ‘Did I come to provoke you? To go this far, to say anything that could have been said in writing and leave…’
― ‘There’s no way we’d give up Lortel. Slog must have known about it, but why did you have to go this far…’
Seeing the slog that came to the Roth Taylor estate, Tanya had a question.
Why did you bother to come to the middle of enemy lines and provoke me, as if declaring that I was the enemy?
It wasn’t even that there was a return that was reasonable enough to take such a risky action.
Not only that, but it’s the same even after arriving at the old deck.
I attached a separate bell to protect Lortel, but in the end Slog didn’t take any action to secure Lortel.
Even though he knew that Lortel had been subdued, he made no move to finish the job by immediately accusing her of embezzlement.
It would have been clear that he would have moved immediately after confirming that Lortel had been subdued, but rather, the feeling that time was being dragged on was strong.
As if waiting for something.
In addition to that, unnatural parts accumulated in all sorts of small parts, and in the end, I had no choice but to remain a question.
“The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is why you do all these stupid things like you’ve gone insane. The old deck colossus who knows everything… Why are you so reckless?”
He did justify his reckless behavior by exuding the nuance of ‘someone huge looking behind him’.
It was probably a device to make sure that fellow merchants and supporters of Slog didn’t suspect Slog’s actions as much as possible.
Slog laughed at my words.
“well… I am… . It’s just trying to close an era.”
The sky I looked up at was high and blue.
Still he just giggles and laughs.
“The era of the golden king, Elte Kecheln, is now over. It’s time for me, who has been with his limbs for 10 years, to completely close the curtain on that stage.”
“… ”
“I will take all the factions that Elte left behind. Tell Lortel Kecheln.”
The low-pitched voice makes you feel as if you have become a different person.
“Congratulations on reaching your era.”
It feels like everything I guessed was right.
Before Slog Keldlux handed over the prize to Lortel… I was thinking of cleaning the inside of the store neatly.
After collecting all the forces opposing Lortel and the colossus trying to bring her down at once with their own power, they fall into the pit of hell together.
The more urgent the situation, the better. And the more cornered Lortel is, the better.
The more the situation reached its climax, the more all those who would betray Lortel and stick to Slog’s side would stick their heads out.
“I never thought you would think of Lortel that much.”
“Keuk… sounds funny. I really hate girls who have become obsessed with money since childhood.”
Slog took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and closed his eyes gently.
“I’ve lived my whole life in a middle management position. I am just finishing my work.”
Decades until the Golden King, Elte, brought Lortel to the Chamber of Commerce and raised her to become a colossus.
Slog would have always helped him as Elte’s henchman, so he would have closely watched the stupid Lortel’s growth process.
The process by which a girl from a slum survives under a cold-blooded colossus and is reborn as a merchant.
The record of her struggling not to let go of her mind as a person until the end, even though she was instilled with commercial knowledge under a father who was not like her father.
The life story of a girl who started empty-handed and struggled to survive… How he looked in the eyes of the old colossus who survived under the Golden King.

all of that… I couldn’t figure it all out. That only Slog can know.
But, as always, the slog… As a middle management position, I would have lived my life doing my duty with my head bowed and on my knees.
“okay. I thought it was strange. At the point when Ed Roth Taylor, the prudent and seasoned aristocratic master, broke into the business building in such a splendid and haphazard way… I should have noticed.”
Slog Keldlux would have hoped for its downfall as splendid and magnificent as possible.
Only then can you confidently and cleanly take Lortel’s opposition down the cliff. The legitimacy and justification will be much more clearly secured for Lortel’s coming to power.
So, I called in a saintess.
He broke and smashed the building of the merchant association as if all the old deck citizens were watching.
“I thought it was going to be a sluggish paperwork fight, but it’s so neat and tidy that it really gets the job done… big… cool… Kkeuk… ”
What a troublesome human being.
The fact that he tried to keep all of this as a secret that only he knew.
“If I had been honest with Lortel, I wouldn’t have suffered this much. Since he is the process he needs to sit in the chair, he would have cooperated as much as he wanted.”
“That’s something I can say because I don’t know this group called Elte Company.”
Slog chuckled and laughed.
“Do you know what sentences everyone at Elte Firm is memorizing, like the Bible, from the lowest apprentices to the core executives?”
“… ”
“In the world… ”
Slog spoke slowly, dripping blood.
― ‘There is no such thing as two-armed scales that are perfectly level in the world.’
For them, human relationships are like that.
Lortel, in order to make you a lord, I will unite the opposing forces and then fall.
So please remain incapacitated for a while so that I can rally your opposition to one heart.
If Slog said that, would Lortel nod in trust in Slog?
“Merchants are a very tired people.”
Even after working for decades, they don’t trust each other.
They try to please each other, but they never sympathize with each other.
like that… The widened gap will forever form parallel lines.
So the slugs moved arbitrarily.
Pretend to support Persica, and move Dune Greg to slander Lortel.
Among the colossi, he spoke badly of Lortel and showed off his hostile relationship with her.
Intermittently revealing their greed for the position of the head of the company, they continuously sprinkled hints that they would split up someday.
He probably decided all these plans after watching Lortel push away Elte Kecheln.
Then, the timing of all movements coincides.
Elte Firm, filled with snarky merchants, is a swamp of traitors who will try to take advantage of the situation at the slightest carelessness.
If you try to make something up in such a place, you have to be prepared to fool everyone in the world.
The old fox, Slog Keldlux, knew that all too well.
“Looks like you have a lot to ask… ”
Slog looked haggard and laughed hard.
“When will Lortel’s curse of regression be lifted?”
“Suddenly, the effect will wear off. One day, when you wake up naturally, you will be free.”
“Why not use such a troublesome curse… .”
“well… .”
The sound of crowds praising the saintess can be heard from the open space in front of the store.
Slog listened to the sound and spoke quietly with his eyes closed.
“It’s just, what would that little boy look like if he hadn’t been a merchant… I was just curious… ”
Puellan and Caldenheim run into the underground warehouse Slog said about.
The only place you enter through the door is a dark, empty space. I have heard that there is a means to subdue Ed Rosteiler here, but there is nothing visible.
At that moment, two strongmen hiding in the darkness grabbed Puellan and Caldenheim’s forearms and bent them backwards, pressing them to the floor.
Jang Jung-eun, who pressed the two people who supported the slug… They were mercenaries hired from outside the Elte Company.
The two bewildered colossi looked back with difficulty with trembling eyes… . A woman commanding two mercenaries catches her eye.
The person there was Lortel’s chief secretary… It was Lienna Clemson.
Only then did the two… . They realized that they had fallen into a trap.
