Episode 78
So the Death Knights entered Duke Malone’s castle.
Christopher nods slightly, and they take their places again.
The 5th group is inside the castle.
The 7th group is outside the castle, that is, to the main gate.
They were one in heart and mind.
Because that’s how I learned and lived that way.
The fifth Death Knight hid inside the castle.
After about five minutes, seven Death Knights moved to the main gate and attacked the soldiers.
Boom-! Boom-!!
“Eww!!”
“What the heck are these guys!!”
There was a commotion, and half of the soldiers, knights, and wizards living in the castle moved to the main gate, while the rest protected the Duke of Mallon and his entourage.
At that moment, the five Death Knights hiding inside the castle moved.
1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor. 4th floor, 5th floor.
And all the way to the basement.
They searched very thoroughly and found it.
A chest containing about 1.5 million gold and dozens of gems.
And hundreds of potion boxes.
In addition, there were many weapons used by the alien races of the Demon Forest and equipment made by dwarves, but they did not catch my eye.
It looked like it was worth the money, but this wasn’t it.
Tolisso was convinced.
This isn’t ‘that’ Jack is looking for, it’s just Duke Malone’s slush funds.
Tolisso didn’t turn around.
I opened the jewelry box and started looking through it.
Ruby, emerald, opal, etc.
Although quite a few jewels came out, Tolisso’s hands did not stop.
I kept searching and eventually picked up a jewel.
A red gem.
The size is about two joints of the index finger.
But Tolisso knows what this is.
The rarest gem on the entire continent is the diamond.
The red diamond is the rarest of all diamonds.
That was in my hands right now.
It appears to weigh about 25 carats, which would make it worth at least 4 million gold.

Tolisso packed the red diamond and several other gems into his pockets and immediately joined the seven Death Knights who were laying siege at the main gate.
“Who the hell are you guys!!”
Duke Malone shouted, but the twelve Death Knights made no reply.
What more needs to be said?
There is no civil war money here as Jack said.
Well then, we should move.
Tolisso looked at Christopher beside him, who silently tore up the scroll.
Hwaaaaak-!
Light surrounds their bodies, and the light disappears.
There were no Death Knights there.
The Duke of Malone’s Shushire Knights, Shushire Magical Corps, and soldiers, as well as the Duke of Malone.
They all have a blank expression.
* * *
The Death Knights did not rest.
Although it is said that the Black Shackles have grown from one circle to two circles, there is clearly a limit to that.
However, the reason they were able to keep moving without stopping was because Jack had carved a ‘mana concentration magic circle’ into their bodies.
When the mana accumulated in the body runs out, it is recharged through the concentrated magic circle.
The longer this was going on, the shorter the lifespan of the Death Knights would be, but no one cared about that.
“Assailants!! Protect His Majesty!!”
“Get out of here!!”
It was quite different from what happened at Malone Estate.
There were quite a few people who were considered skilled living in the castle, and among them there were quite a few high-circle magicians.
They noticed the presence of Death Knights who had moved using teleportation magic and immediately prepared for it.
So the Death Knights had no choice but to clash with the palace soldiers.
Soldiers die, and the knights of the guard who rush in die.
There are a total of 11 9-circle mana users and 8-circle mana users.
Even they are all of assassin origin.
Since this is a force that cannot be easily dealt with, it is only natural that the Death Knight has the upper hand at the moment.
As they were dying one by one, a man appeared.
“Who are you guys!!”
Douglas Ascension.
The commander of the knight guard and the master.

His body, bathed in gold, leaps from the spot.
As I said before, the total number of Death Knights currently present here is ’11’.
A Death Knight who is not present.

It’s Tolisso.
Christopher thought as he took a fighting stance.
Tolisso, send the signal.
At that moment-
Tolisso, who was searching through the royal warehouse, ended up laughing secretly behind his mask.
A royal warehouse that is hundreds of meters wide.
Ignoring the various reports that were dazzling my eyes, I felt the flow of air and mana as I touched the floor and the walls.
Soon, Tolisso’s eyes light up.
The flow of mana and air is strange.
That’s for sure.
There’s something here.
Tolisso, who had been hitting the ground like that, was able to be found.
A convex wall and a faint breeze blowing out from within it.
This means there is another space.
The moment Tolisso pressed hard on the convex part.
Kookung-!
The wall is being pushed.
And what was revealed beyond that was a secret room within a secret room.
The numerous weapons I had seen before coming here were not, strictly speaking, money that could be used right away.
But there is another secret room right in front of you.
The items inside were different.
A huge gold feast, dyed in golden light.
The number of golds was enormous, with hundreds of ‘gold bars’ representing 1,000 gold each.
At least 10 million, just by estimate.
No, it’s more than that.
Plus, there are five large boxes stacked on one side.
Tolisso quickly opened the box.
And the moment I checked the contents inside, I smiled faintly.
This is it.
Tolisso took out the flute from his bosom and blew it loudly.
Beep beep beep-!!
The sound of the flute echoed throughout the palace, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
Douglas Ascendant, who was fighting against five 9th Circle Mana users, and the other Death Knights who were engaged in a fierce battle with the rest of the knights.
They all stopped in their tracks.
What does that mean?

Just when that thought was about to echo in everyone’s head.
The remaining Death Knights moved, except for the three who had been instructed by Jack to do something.
Taat-!
Boom-!
A death knight who kicks the heads of the knights in front of him.
For a moment, Douglas, the King, and the knights look puzzled.
That too for a moment.
Douglas was quick to grasp the situation.
“Run away? Do you think that’s possible!!”
The sword is swung.
Tsk tsk tsk-!!
A huge sword aura flies towards the Death Knights who are running backwards.
At that moment.
Christopher, who had been waiting in his seat, rushed in and blocked the sword energy with his whole body.
Crunch-!
Crunch-!!
Would it be correct to say that it was blocked?
The leader of the dark faction that was the 9th Circle.
That’s Christopher Schwern.
He falls to the floor with his limbs cut off and a hole in his abdomen.
Douglas slowly walked towards him.
“Who are you guys? What is your purpose?”
At that moment, the remaining two Death Knights surrounded Christopher.
Douglas stopped dead in his tracks.
And King Teslan watches them from afar.
And the Knights Templar.
Some time had passed, and all the knights and soldiers had gathered within the castle.
escape?
Absolutely impossible.
At that time, the Death Knights looked at each other and smiled faintly.
At the same time, it comes to their minds.
That time when Jack called the three of them aside and talked to them.
-Now, listen carefully. The moment Tolisso gives the signal, you three do not join.
Douglas, right in front of you, slowly approaches.
A true master, not just a simple mana user, whose entire body is covered in gold.
Advertisements
They are those who have transcended the human realm and are already called superhumans.
Even as such a being approached, emitting a breath of life, the Death Knights did not tremble in fear.
“The palace is already surrounded, and the remaining black knights who escaped from this place will all be captured. So, just reveal who you are behind it. If you want to die in peace.”
There was no answer.
What’s important about the master?
The three Death Knights looking at Douglas still had only Jack’s image in their minds.
-When the task is completed, you will die. To be precise, you will die. Not as corpses, but as complete death. So remember this. You must go while shouting like this.
Jack in the memory whispers with a smile.
The two Death Knights, including Christopher, who was lying on the ground, shouted at the same time as if it had been promised.
Jack’s words.
(Long live the Tulcan Empire!!)
A shout that echoes throughout the palace.
The soldiers heard it, the knights heard it, the king heard it, and even his commander, Douglas Assenble, heard it.
Then, the black shackles surrounding the three hearts began to glow.
Exactly two seconds later.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
The bodies of the three exploded.
Chapter 2
The villa the president gave me was, as I have said several times, a very large mansion.
I don’t know what the purpose was, but there was a basement and a warehouse.
And among them, the basement. There was a huge amount of gold piled up in that place now.
Honestly, I was surprised.
No.
To be exact, I should say that I am a little confused.
“There’s more than I thought?”
“That’s right. I guess… … .”
Aveiro paused for a moment, then continued with a laugh.
“It seems that the king was also preparing for a civil war.”
I burst out laughing too.
The time now is roughly 6 o’clock.
I gave myself exactly 24 hours to complete this project, and it was done in about 16 hours.
Let’s organize things a bit.
First of all, there is a lot more gold than I thought.
“Based on my guess, the gold is worth about 20 million.”
“Yes. And these boxes are all potions. Five hundred of those rare top-grade potions, at least two thousand of high-grade potions, and about three thousand of medium-grade potions… … It seems like the hardliners were only planning to provide potions for the civil war.”
Advertisements
It should be seen as a priority rather than everything.
And at this rate, there is a very high probability that this is all the money for the civil war.
Even though the timing was right, at the time, the Half-Blood experiment was still ongoing, so money would have been transferred to the Tulcan Empire from time to time.
My personal opinion is that the most they’ve earned is between 10 million and 20 million gold.
But 20 million gold and thousands of potions?
It far exceeds expectations.
The teleport scroll had a range of about 10 meters.
Looking at all the weapons that were in the royal warehouse, which were included as a service, it seems that the items in the royal warehouse were mixed together.
Even taking that into account, it’s still too much.
This is too simple.
This would be all the remaining civil war funds, plus the king added his own money to the funds.
“It seems like they made various preparations to deal with those who did not belong to the committee while causing a civil war.”
Laughter erupts once more.
Our King of Teslan. This is the first time I’ve ever felt grateful to that idiot.
Plus, there were several jewels that Tolisso had brought back from the Duke of Malone’s estate.
Now, this is all mine.
In one day, I became one of the richest men in the continent.
It’s strange that the mouth doesn’t hang over the ear.
“Hey kids, wanna ride the shit rope now?”
