Chapter 16. The eagle is medicine. (2)
The merciless violence inflicted on the cheek in succession brought the leader to his knees.
“sorry.”
The leader threw away his mace and fell flat on the floor.
“hmm.”
Take your eyes off the boss’s ample crown,
Clang.
I picked up the mace that had fallen on the ground.
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
The quality seemed too good to be used by a mere leader of a gang of thieves.
‘Come to think of it.’
The thieves who attacked me earlier were all carrying weapons of considerable quality.
In general, thieves are often vagrants who have nowhere to go and change jobs. Therefore, most people used crude weapons.
However, these Raeto bandits used things that could be called ‘weapons’ such as spears and long swords.
‘if… … .’
My eyes narrowed like a snake. I felt like I needed to shake the dust off this boss.
Sigh!
He put the mace on the floor and crossed his arms.
“Guide me.”
“Uh, where…”
“Where would it be? That corner where you were hiding like a rat.”
“Well, that’s….”
The leader rolled his eyes. I could clearly see him tapping away at the calculator in his head.
In short, it’s about how much you have to give to yourself to survive.
‘plaguy.’
An annoyed smile crossed my lips.
I can’t believe I still have the brains to worry about that. Do you not understand what it means that I came all the way down here without a drop of blood?
Or maybe what’s hidden there is so valuable.
It didn’t matter to me either way.
‘If it wasn’t for the information, I would have killed him long ago.’
match! match!
He slashed both sides of the boss’s cheeks in succession, then kicked him in the chest.
“Oops!”
I followed closely behind the one flying behind me.
Sigh!
He took out the sword attached to the guy’s waist and stabbed it into his palm. The leader’s hand was pinned like a stake to the wall.
“Aaaah!”
The leader distorted his face and cried.
Whoops.
The blood began to flow down the wall.
Excited.
My heart was pounding again. However, it did not vibrate as violently as in front of Mikel.
It’s just a habitual mania.
I tried to suppress the requiem that raised my head again.
“Oh, by the way, we decided to be fair, right?”
After pulling out the dagger with a wise smile,
Sigh!
I put it in my other hand.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
The leader’s shoulders shook violently. She begged, blood pouring out from the holes in both her palms.
“Please… I was wrong.”
“Didn’t you say that before? It seems like you don’t really know what’s wrong.”
“Really… really. I’m sorry.”
Tears poured from the corners of the leader’s twisted eyes.
“Please… I’ll tell you everything…”
His face was full of fear for the future. Fear that if this hand is not treated quickly, I will be crippled for the rest of my life.
‘You don’t have to worry about that.’
After muttering darkly, he pulled out his sword.
I really didn’t believe what he said. He just didn’t want to waste time.
“Ugh!”
The leader held his hands together and held back his tears.
“Take the lead.”
When I kicked his knee with my foot, the guy started walking shakily.
“Take out everything you have.”
He spoke in a command tone and then added.
“I thought I would die if there was even a single drop of blood on there.”
“-!”
The leader looked around with a frightened look on his face, then picked up a rag and wrapped it around his hand. And as I commanded, it moved busily inside the cave.

“Hmm.”
I leaned diagonally against the wall and watched him do it.
The inside of the cave was decorated quite comfortably. There was not only a safe to hide money and belongings, but also a desk and a simple bed.
“Why did you decorate it so carefully?”
“If the guards come, I’m going to take refuge….”
“You’re not thinking about fighting?”
“How can a group of thieves survive? There is no answer to an offensive in volume.”
The leader answered in a fairly obedient tone.
“I was preparing for a time like today just in case. I was planning to hide here and hold out and then leave when things quiet down.”
He seemed to think that if he obeyed me, his life would be saved.
“I brought it all out here.”
The leader put down his things and knelt in front of him.
“hmm.”
I carefully examined the items on the floor with sharp eyes. It was a considerable amount of money, cheap jewelry, and valuables.
Soon my lips moved slowly.
“I told you to bring everything, right?”
“Huh? This is all….”
“There’s a letter taken from the hostage.”
The boss’s eyes widened.
“Well, how did you know that…”
“Are you so dumb that you don’t understand what I’m saying? Or are you just ignoring what I said?”
The leader shed a cold sweat and waved his hands.
“Oh, you misunderstand. That’s not true. I didn’t bring it because I didn’t think it was that important….”
“Shut up and bring everything.”
As my eyes flashed red, the leader hurriedly stood up and brought the entire safe inside. He held it upside down and poured it out.
Clink, clink.
All kinds of miscellaneous items inside poured out. Pieces of twisted bread, women’s underwear, whips, candle wax… … .
‘… … ‘Why do you have this?’
While I was dumbfounded, my eyes caught a letter fluttering down. I picked it up and checked the contents.
As soon as I opened the letter, I saw a familiar handwriting. The owner, of course, was Diego.
‘also.’
A crooked smile crossed my lips.
Not only the font but also the content was very obvious. It was exactly what I expected.
“They attacked a passing carriage, and it came out of the arms of an old man who was there. It seemed to be a servant of a noble family.”
“…….”
“That’s why I kept it in case I could get a ransom. Anyway, I don’t think there would be much need for someone as precious as the prosecutor….”
“That’s it,”
I roughly cut out the story of the boss, which became too long.
“Is this all you have to offer?”
He stared at the guy’s body and made a threat.
“Every time you find a coin, you add one more ssadaegi.”
“I really don’t have one!”
The leader jumped up from his place.
“It’s true! I swear on my name! I took it all out!”
How much honor do you have for that name?
I snorted and gestured.
“Answer whatever is asked.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Where did you get the weapon?”
This time, the boss’s face turned blue.
‘How did you know that?’
It was clear that he was thinking this.
“Well, attack that passing carriage… or take it as loot….”
“With a weapon of that size, do you think it was used to attack the knights’ carriage?”
He growled, tightening the hand holding the dagger.
“I really wonder which knightly order was so stupid that they got robbed by this simple group of thieves.”
As his eyes began to shine bright blue, the leader, unable to withstand the pressure, confessed.
“Well, I got the supply!”
“To whom?”
“I don’t know his identity. He always wears a robe and I’ve never seen his face.”
The leader trembled and fixed his eyes on the dagger in my hand.
“Really. I can only hear his voice, so all I know is that he is a young man.”
“What is the price?”
“Instead of receiving weapons… Instead, we attacked the upper carriage they designated.”
“Where is the top?”
“Rubino, Zafiro… This is a merchant that mainly sells jewels.”
I was lost in thought, rolling the names he said in my mouth.
‘Which group will benefit from attacking this top?’
I asked while looking at the leader.
“People must have been sold as slaves, but what did they do with the goods?”
“Sold everything….”
When the boss saw my bright blue eyes, he quickly changed his tone.
“…but there is one left!”
He reached into his pants, rummaged around, and pulled out something. He held it up with both hands and begged.
“Woah, I put it in here and forgot to take it out! It’s really gone now!”
“hmm.”
I picked up the jewel resting on the leader’s palm.
“It’s Ruby.”
Although it is a beautiful jewel with a vivid red color, it is not treated with much value in the current empire.
Instead of putting it in his arms, he placed it back in his palm.
“……!”
The moment the boss’s eyes trembled with relief and joy,
puck!
A merciless kick flew into the guy’s chest.
“Big!”
The leader fell to the floor, struggling with his arms and legs.
“I hate lies.”
I approached him with a cold face.
“Didn’t I just say there were no more?”
“I forgot to take it out…”
“I didn’t forget it, I guess I saved it until the end.”
After coldly dismissing it, he picked up a dagger from among the items that had fallen on the floor.
The leader shuddered and took a step back at the light reflecting from the blade.
“S-you said you would save my life, right?”
“When did I?”
He smiled bitterly and pointed the dagger at the guy.
“I never said that.”
“Ah, it was clear earlier….”
“That’s stupid.”
I giggled as I tried to figure out where to insert it into the boss’s body.
“Why do you keep alive the person who gave you all the information? What value does he have?”
“Please, please! Please think again!”
The leader jumped up and crawled on all fours.
“I will do anything! I will do anything you ask me to do!”
“I do not need.”
Sigh!
The dagger pierced the exact center of his heart.
“You’re too bad to have as a subordinate.”
“Kkkkkkkkk…….”
The leader grabbed my hand holding the dagger.
Drop, drop.
Before I knew it, the blood leaking from his palm had stained the entire cloth and dripped down.
Thump, pound, pound.
My heart beat rapidly when I smelled the strong scent of blood. She suppressed it calmly, unperturbed.
I relaxed my five senses, which were becoming more sensitive, and slowly took a breath. Like a judge carrying out an execution, she had a grim, expressionless face.
Not for pleasure, but solely for purpose, I twisted the hand holding the dagger.
“Bwa….”
The leader passed away with a short death. The limbs that had been twitching in pain became limp.
“……after.”
It was an easy yet difficult murder. It was much more difficult than cutting down the eighteen people before.
After slapping his hand away, he took money and some valuables from the items the leader had given him. Of course, I didn’t even touch the jewelry that was in his underwear.
In a short period of time, the smell of blood was present in the cave.
“Tsk.”
After clicking my tongue softly, I headed back the way I came in. And she headed to the prison where Black Star and Phillip were earlier.
As soon as I entered the entrance,
“Go away! I mean, go away!”
“Crumbling!”
There was a struggle going on that I couldn’t watch without tears.
“Go away! Hehehe!”
Phillip picking up a stick and threatening Black Star,
“Crung!”
It was Black Star, growling as if he was the same.
Black Star was clinging tightly to the gap in the bars I had opened. It seemed like they were preventing Philip from coming out.
“Purr!”
He wanted to bite Philip right now, but he held back because of my command.
“Well done.”
He entered the prison with a loud sarcastic tone, as if to be heard.
“Purung!”
Black Star looked towards me and smiled.
“uh……?”
Philip’s eyes widened as if they were about to explode.
Tuk.
The stick he was holding fell helplessly to the floor.
“Ah, ahhh.”
Philip’s finger pointed at me.
“Ah, Master Abel?”
“okay.”
“How could you, Master Dodo….”
Philip muttered in disbelief. He was so surprised that his face turned white, as if the color had been bleached.
“Uh, how did you get here….”
Instead of answering the muttering, he spoke in an annoyed tone.
“Get your fingers away.”
“-!”
Philip folded his fingers in surprise.
“Ji, you really are Master Abel….”
“Then it must be fake?”
Philip hesitantly stepped back, holding his hands tightly.
“How did this happen? Why are you here…?”
“Can’t I stay here?”
“Well, that’s not it. Weren’t you in the capital…?”
“It was like that.”
Philip looked at me blankly at the past tense answer.
“ah.”
Then, I suddenly thought about something and started to tremble.
“Well, the reason you were taken hostage…”
