The reincarnated god of war destroys the empire
Marquis Laxir (1)
“How much do you know about the Master?”
Nella asked.
“Creating an organization called Dokmagung under the Emperor, working under it for ten years, and the truth is that all of that was an effort to help the great hero’s daughter escape.”
I told Narakas exactly what I had heard.
At the same time, Nella nodded silently.
“You know everything about the past. What’s important is what happens afterward.”
“Where is he now?”
“Before we talk about the Master’s whereabouts… … .”
Nella adjusted her glasses, which had slipped down the bridge of her nose.
“Please give me some too.”
“what?”
“Trust.”
As promised, I have completed May’s cure, so I ask you to trust me in the same way.
“Are you truly capable of handling the truth? Are you worthy of being called a priest of the great hero?”
“Just listen in and see.”
“I have a simple request. Please catch just one person.”
At the same time, my body trembled.
Even Narakas, who was listening from the side, opened his eyes wide.
Because it was such an unexpected request.
“Catch? Who?”
“He is a poisoner and pharmacist who once worked with the Master at the Dokmagung Palace. I also heard that he is currently in the capital of the Heart Palace.”
From then on, Nella’s story continued for a while.
Many people work at Dokmagung.
Since it was an organization directly under the Imperial Palace, there was no need to explain its scale further.
However, it is said that one of them stole the precious medicine.
It was essentially embezzlement.
“He was a man of ability and a good reputation among those around him. So he was quite favored by the Master. Until he committed that damn crime… … .”
“There must have been chaos throughout the palace.”
Nella nodded with a stern face.
“It wasn’t just a mess. It was especially difficult for the Master.”
The position he holds is the head of the Dokmagung Palace.
Naturally, one cannot avoid responsibility for incidents and accidents that occur within an organization.
Because it was his job to carefully select the people entering the herbal medicine storage.
“That socially awkward poisoner, who has no sense of humor, has taken on such an extravagant position.”
“That’s right! Master, you’ve always been in the habit of getting your eyes checked. If you weren’t the daughter of a great hero, you wouldn’t have taken on the position in the first place… … .”
Nella’s voice gradually became quieter.
He kept tilting his head as if something was strange.
“… … Wait a minute. But you’re talking as if you know a lot about the teacher?”
I immediately changed the subject of conversation.
“So? What happened after that?”
At the same time, Nella’s face became gloomy.
“It would have been better if he had taken the expensive medicine that was in stock, but unfortunately, that author ran off with the rarest of them all. A treasure that only had three roots left.”
“That’s the rule. The rarer something is, the more expensive it is. It’s the law of supply and demand, right?”
If you’ve already made up your mind, it’s best to embezzle the most expensive one.
Because it’s the same thing anyway, becoming a criminal.
“Thanks to that, people with rare diseases at the time were unable to receive timely treatment. As you know, poison and medicine are like one body.”
“So, who is it?”
“They are like my parents.”
Nella answered without a moment’s hesitation.
She is an orphan.
If such a person can be called a ‘parent’… … .
“Your guess is correct. Because the Master himself did not receive treatment.”
“… … !”
“Don’t you find it strange? Why did I know so much about Miss May’s treatment and how I could successfully create the medicine so quickly?”
I’m starting to understand the circumstances that are slowly coming to fruition.
“For a very long time, we have been researching how to cure Master’s ‘dwarfism.’ And, at that time, the research was in its final stages.”
“… … That’s what it was.”
“There was no time. Just like Miss May, Master’s body also began to deteriorate one by one.”
Suddenly, a guess flashed into my mind.
“Then could it be that the herb is… … ?”
“Yes. This is the panel you brought me this time.”
“… … .”
I knew because I tried it myself.
Considering the difficulty, there must have been significant disruption to supply and demand even at that time.
“I couldn’t even report the embezzlement to the palace. As I said, what happened at the Poison Palace was entirely your fault. I just made a new poison and blew it.”
“Did it go well?”

“No. The Emperor’s bastard found out about it, and he punished you severely, including that. He even gave you unbearable insults.”
“What kind of insult are you talking about?”
“He was a cripple who couldn’t even properly manage his subordinates in front of the nobles… … In any case, he wasn’t much of a sight to behold.”
“… … .”
As if remembering that time, Nella’s face turned red with anger.
“If that doesn’t work, you can just kill me. I’m a cheap bastard.”
“Okay. That’s it.”
Soon I nodded.
“Tell me in detail, starting with its appearance. I’ll decide whether to kill it or not after I catch it.”

After Nella left the mansion completely.
“Did you hear everything?”
Narakas shrugged his shoulders at my question.
“I knew you’d say that, so I already told the kids to find out.”
At the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on my lips.
“That’s why it’s comfortable to have a smart friend by your side.”
“friend…….”
Narakas, who had been mumbling along with me for a while, soon burst into laughter.
“I didn’t know that the word ‘friend’ could be such a pleasant word?”
“I would appreciate it if you think so.”
“But what if the person you’re looking for already belongs to a certain family?”
“hmm…….”
I rested my chin on my hand for a moment, lost in thought.
Because it was a problem I hadn’t thought about yet.
“A skilled poisoner is a person of considerable value in and of himself. Especially if he has extensive knowledge to the point of having worked in the imperial palace, he is something that all those in power would covet.”
“Before that, I have a question.”
“question?”
“Why did the Emperor just leave such a man alone?”
“… … !”
Only then did Narakas open his eyes.
If you listen to Nella’s story, it is clear that the emperor was aware of the embezzlement.
“Are you saying that they just left him alone without even arresting him, even though he was a criminal who dared to embezzle the palace’s assets?”
“… … Do you doubt the possibility that the Emperor intentionally created the board?”
That’s right.
If Raven isn’t a traitor.
If it was just a temporary transaction, he would have been a thorn in the Emperor’s side.
“Anyway, what’s the big deal? You’ll find out if you catch the guy and beat him up. In your own way.”
Immediately I nodded.
“That’s true.”
“If he had any affiliation, it is highly likely that the family actively concealed his past and created a new identity for him.”
I’ve heard this story a lot.
“… …Why are you looking at me?”
At my naturally crazy gaze, the crazy Erina narrowed her eyebrows.
At the same time, I shrugged my shoulders and looked at Narakas again.
“So, can you help me find it?”
Narakas smiled faintly.
“You are lucky. You have as your friend this Narakas, who is unrivaled on this continent.”
A smile formed on my lips.
“Wow, what a dependable friend you are.”
***
After finishing all my work, I headed straight to the city center.
It was to meet the children.
At the same time, I remembered the conversation I had with Jan, who had come to see me earlier.
“I’m going to take a walk around downtown with some other guys.”
“Are you trying to find an inn? Wouldn’t it be better to just stay here?”
“If you want a place to stay, there is also the mansion of our Count Arsene family. Above all, Marquis Mylon is a difficult person for us. To you… … he may be a close friend.”
“Then, what are you going to do when you go downtown?”
“I plan to select people.”
“person……?”
Jan nodded silently in response to my question.
“The watchtower we are building in the north is like that, and we cannot cover that vast land with just the Verdant Vale. The knights of Duke Herman’s family will also have to return to their family someday.”
The unexpected voice continued.
“As your territory develops, you will need a lot of people. So, I will go ahead and select people.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Don’t worry too much. I don’t over-trust my own eyes. Fortunately, my family sent a talent manager. We just have to watch from the side. Since it’s your territory, you make the final decision.”
This guy, I didn’t know at first, but the more I looked at him, he was a real guy.
‘Aren’t you already capable of leading a family?’
I looked at Jan with a grateful heart.
“When did you ever think of something like this?”
“A favor must be repaid.”
“Oh, grace.”
“joy.”
I wonder if he was embarrassed by what I said, Jan snorted and quickly walked away.
That’s the guy who said that.
But.
“What is that?”
The sight that finally appeared before my eyes was completely unexpected.
“Who told you to do business here?”
“Business? Are you saying saving people is business?”
“It’s business. It’s people business.”
A crowd of people surrounded some familiar faces, including Jan.
“And, since ancient times, there is something called business ethics in business. This is the area where we recruit talented people.”
“… … We just want to pay the royal fee and post a room on the bulletin board in the downtown area.”
“Really? Then you have to pay us too.”
This is it, it was an open fight.
“For reference, the cost is 100,000 gold.”
“Poohahaha!”
At the same time, laughter erupted everywhere.
It means that they are all in one.
Because the cost was that unrealistic.
“If you don’t have money, you beggars, get out. This isn’t a place for a baron to hang out.”
Narakas, who had been watching the scene, whispered quietly from the side.
“These are the knights of the Marquis of Laxir.”
“… … .”
Their atrocities didn’t stop there.
On the other hand.
[Marquis Laxir, recruiting]
Because he even wrote and posted a post as if it was nothing.
Deep down, I wondered if it was really necessary to do that.
Objectively, this is the blood of a newly ennobled baron.
Moreover, his future work location was the infamous Black Swan, also known as the Land of the Dead.
It’s a fight that’s going to be advantageous to them anyway, so it’s ridiculous that they’re resorting to such heinous acts…
“You mean you’re going to pick a fight with me openly?”
That was when.
“Your Majesty.”
A mask suddenly appeared and whispered quietly to Narakas.
At the same time, his two eyes flashed open.
“… … It’s that guy.”
“huh?”
“The green haired guy posting that notice over there. He’s the embezzler from Dokma Palace.”
“… … !”
A faint smile appeared on my lips.
Should we call this ‘killing both the pheasant and the eggs’?
“So… … those kids are begging me to kill them right now?”
Soon I took a brisk step forward.
“That’s great, and you saved me the trouble of having to go find it.”
