Episode 141
The temperament of an emperor.
Beckerman had seen the current emperor as well as the previous emperors, but the Iskandar before his eyes was different from the other two.
Conquering monarch.
monster.
His inclusiveness and boldness were so unparalleled that I felt sorry to compare him to the countless others I had seen before.
And strength too.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Beckerman naturally knelt down.
“I did not mean to be suspicious. I apologize, Your Majesty.”
Iskandar slowly stroked Beckerman’s shoulder with a smiling face.
“If not you, who else would I trust?”
Beckerman, with his head down, could not see Iskandar’s face.
I couldn’t see it, but I could feel it.
This man trusts me… … .
“I will definitely repay your trust, Your Majesty.”
Iskandar, who had been looking down at Beckerman for a moment, slowly turns around.
The smile had completely disappeared from Iskandar’s face.
He thought.
‘The collapse of the Kingdom Alliance is only a matter of time. What matters is who is behind all this.’
Iskandar is called a genius among the people of the world.
Iskandar was actually a genius.
He had his own firm convictions, was able to read the situation, knew how to use it, and was able to devise strategies that could change the map of the continent.
In addition, his control over state affairs was perfect, and many masters were eager to serve him.
Iskandar thought.
The world is too easy.
When I first got my hands on the dragon, dozens of schemes came to mind on what to do with it, and I put one of them into action.
As a result, the five kingdoms, excluding the Tulcan Empire, began to check each other, and within them, those who were considered allies began to check each other.
In addition, with the funds obtained from them, he started experiments on ‘immortality’ and ‘heterogeneous combination’.
Everything was easy.
But recently, things changed with the appearance of a masked man and a woman.
The dragon is missing.
The laboratory was completely melted and the materials were completely burned.
Although there are some research materials left behind, the important thing is that a new force has emerged.
It might have felt like a threatening force to other forces, but not to Iskandar.

He thought differently.
‘It almost was too easy, thank goodness.’
I really thought so.
The emergence of competitors.
The mastermind who changes the game with just one move.
‘I’d like to meet you sometime.’
And I wanted to ask.
Do you, like me, find the world easy?
* * *
I ended up sitting down and rubbing my ears.
‘What kind of a rice-eater is talking about me?’
My ears have been itching badly for a while now. It seems like there are more than one or two people talking behind my back.
He raised his head with a smile on his lips.
Guinness sitting right in front of you.
Looking at his hardened expression, he said.
“There are conditions?”
Previously, I asked Guinness if he would be interested in working with me.
Guinness asked for some time to think about it, and just came to me and said this.
“Deposit? Why?”
Literally.
They want me to pay them a deposit.
The amount is exactly 50 thousand gold.
To be honest, from my perspective, it’s almost like pocket change.
It’s not like I’m upset that Guinness ‘dare’ to put forth a condition.
Guinness, for one, is quick-witted.
That man asks for an advance payment.
Even now, he was tightly wrapping his left arm around me, which was trembling in fear, with his right arm.
I’m curious.
Why, 50 thousand gold?
“My… … my brother… … I mean, I owe a debt to General Rommel… … Phew, I owed a debt, and while I was working… … .”
First, I put my hand out.
This gentleman.

Why are you so scared?
“Calm down for now. I’m not a crazy psycho and I’m not going to kill you or anything just because you set a condition.”
Some might think that’s likely based on his past actions, but no.
Advertisements
You shouldn’t look at me like that.
I’m a very good guy.
“First, drink some of this tomato juice and relax. Why are you so worried?”
Guinness began to calm down at the warm words, and he continued to speak.
As for the content, it was nothing special.
Guinness had a younger brother that I didn’t know about, and when he was young, he tried to rob the supply warehouse of the Duke of Ascension, but he touched something wrong and the warehouse caught fire.
All the leather armor and food inside were burned, but it is said that General Rommel stepped in and prevented the incident.
Interestingly enough, it is said that he also saved his younger brother’s life.
As expected, the old man has a broad mind.
Anyway, the amount of compensation is exactly 650,000 gold.
In fact, there were a few more numbers added to the end, but the old man, who recognized Guinness’ cooking skills, forgave them.
So 10 years.
Guinness worked as an informant and cook under the inspiration, and is said to have repaid a whopping 600,000 gold.
therefore.
They say there’s still a debt of 50 thousand gold left.
“Are you going to come to me after you’ve cleaned up with the Ascendant Duke?”
“……yes.”
What the heck, you should have said that earlier.
Then the atmosphere wouldn’t have been awkward.
“Is there anything difficult? I’ll pay you right away. Dean Gray… … .”
The ending of the sentence was vague for a moment.
Our Dean Gray.
I forgot I was at the academy right now.
That gentleman has been spending a lot of time at the villa lately. Maybe it’s because he’s a soldier, but he’s really good at slacking off. When I asked him if he had any free time, he immediately ran off to the academy.
Didn’t you say there were some unfinished business?
hmm.
“You know the basement?”
“……yes.”
“There will be quite a bit of money left over there. Take as much as you want from there and bring it to the old man.”
Guinness’ eyes widen.
“Do you trust me? If I run away with that money… … .”
He shrugged.
“Run away? If you’re going to run away, then go. I swear on my neck that I won’t catch you. I won’t kill you either.”
“… … .”
“Even if I seem fickle, I’ll keep what I keep, and you can leave whenever you want? I’ll give you a chance. You won’t work under me, you’ll work ‘with’ me. The work is simple, just cook like you are doing now. As I said before, if you want, I can build you a fancy cooking school in the art district over there. Oh, now that I say it like that, it seems like you work under me, but that’s a bit ambiguous. It’s a bit difficult to establish a relationship as employer and employee, and we’re not ordinary people.”

“… … When you say I can leave at any time, do you mean that I can leave once I pay back the 50,000 gold?”
oh my.
I guess I made things a little difficult.
“You don’t owe me anything. I’m just using that 50,000 gold because I want to, and I don’t plan on using it to bring you back. I’m just releasing you from your chains, that’s all. Think of it as a bonus for the delicious food you’ve had. That’s all that matters.”
It’s a bit long-winded, but if you summarize it, it’s very simple.
I will give 50,000 gold of my own money to the inspiration and use that money to buy freedom for Guinness.
The reason Guinness should pay me back that 50,000 gold.
Strictly speaking, there might be, but I don’t necessarily want it.
Money.
If I just put my mind to it, hundreds of millions of gold would come in now.
If you spend this much, it’s okay.
“Do you understand it roughly?”
Guinness, who had been silent for a long time, said:
“You really are… … different. From other people.”
to be honest.
I also live by looking in the mirror.
Our Guinness knows that.
“That’s right. I’m a lot more handsome than I thought.”
Guinness, who had an awkward expression as if he was at a loss for words for a moment, smiles.
When Thanos first came to this villa.
That time when I cried while eating.
It was the first time I had laughed since I had brought up the subject of spicy food.
Guinness said.
“… … Yes. He is handsome. He has a big heart too.”
Guinness, who had finished speaking like that, added one more thing as if he had forgotten.
“I think I know how Dean Gray felt.”
He shrugged.
Chapter 6
The news of the destruction of Marquis Hermann’s family swept through the Teslan Kingdom in just one day.
To be exact, it didn’t even take a day.
Magyar Teslan, who was trying to create a union of kingdoms and spread the news throughout the kingdoms through the Teslan Times, said.
“What the heck are you talking about!”
* * *
The continental battlefield branch of the Ascendible Territory.
Branch managers Colin Brosnan, Roland Lynch and Harold Lynch were speechless.

“Marquis Hermann… … what is he doing?”
One of the masters of the continental battlefield who had brought the news repeated what had just been said.
“Everyone is dead, not a single one left. There is no one on this continent with the name Hermann anymore.”
I already had nothing to say.
Now, I’m just, astonished.
The same goes for Roland Lynch, and the same goes for Harold Lynch.
Destroy an entire family.
This isn’t some kind of novel.
A place with hundreds of Mana users gathered there was destroyed in less than a day?
This is just unrealistic.
This is ridiculous.
Well, that actually happened.
“… … Who’s behind this?”
The master swallows.
“Strongly suspected to be Jack Valantiero.”
For a moment, Roland felt a dampness on his back.
The Master said it was an estimate, but Roland knew.
That guess. It must be true.
Unless I’m mistaken.
Unless I’m mistaken.
That’s for sure.
Jack Valantier.
A man who easily subdued Beckerman and turned the genius prosecutor Merengues into a one-armed man with just a wave of his hand.
That guy.
Seriously, the monster was right.
* * *
It was diverse.
Those who are confused and those who try to deny reality.
There are even those who do not want to believe the reality that an absurd monster has appeared and are looking for other excuses.
It was really diverse.
But among them, Clark Valantie, the head of the Marquisate of Valantie.
That is, the Marquis de Valanti did not belong in any case.
‘It was a success.’
I burst out laughing.
‘That guy Gonzalez… … made it happen?’
Advertisements
It was unbelievable.
It was just amazing.
‘Extermination… … It would have been impossible if it was the 8th circle. It must have grown to the 9th circle. Hahaha, that’s amazing, he really was an amazing guy.’
The Marquis de Valantier thought so.
That makes sense.
Most of the information passed on to the Marquis of Valanti had already been controlled by Aveiro for a long time.
Marquis Valantier knew that there were only about 200 knights living in the Marquis Hermann’s household.
This may sound funny, but it’s true.
The Marquis of Valanti doesn’t know.
That those around him were following the orders of a man named Aveiro.
To sum up.
Clark Valanti knows that Gonzales killed all 200 men, including Marquis Hermann.
There was a woman who was watching the Marquis de Valanti from afar.
Unrealistic appearance.
A chiseled face.
The small face had eyes, a nose, and a mouth all densely packed together, and the eyes were clear.
