Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 91

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 91

Episode 91 Auction House (1)

That night, Damian left the castle before midnight.

When they arrived at the bar, Carmen greeted Damian.

“Thank you for inviting me.”

“This is an opportunity to serve Damian, so I can’t miss it.”

Carmen said with a bright smile. His skill at pleasing his opponents was unusual.

“I will take you to the auction house.”

Carmen guided Damian to the carriage that had been waiting in advance. A carriage carrying two people began to drive through the night.

“Where will the auction be held?”

“We’re ready at the Marlverine Theatre.”

Damian was slightly surprised by those words.

The Marlverine Theater was the largest theater in the Apple Kingdom and a symbolic building of the capital.

They say Nokhyang’s power is great, but I had no idea that it would be so powerful that it would rent out the Malbein Theater.

“It seems bigger than I thought.”

“We were able to rent a good venue as many nobles also participated in the auction.”

It seemed that there were many nobles who had connections in Nokhyang.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the theater. The two people got off the carriage.

Even though all the lights were off, quite a few people were gathering in the theater. They all seemed to be nobles who wanted to participate in the auction.

“Please come this way.”

Damien followed Carmen into the theater. It was a passage used by VIPs.

Carmen led Damien to a fancy room. There was a red carpet on the floor, and expensive-looking artwork was decorated everywhere.

“This is a room that can only be used by actors representing the theater company. “You can rest here until the auction starts.”

Damian nodded, looking at the art pieces in the room.

“Damian, I heard that you have recently had a conflict with His Excellency Alexander.”

Then, suddenly, Carmen said something like that. Damien looked at Carmen with an interested expression.

“You have good ears. “I can’t believe you already know that news.”

“It is inevitable for the weak like us to survive.”

Carmen approached a corner of the room. He said as he tapped on the blank wall.

“Damien, the walls here are unusually thin, so you can hear the sounds from the next room very well.”

“It looks like the construction was done poorly.”

Carmen laughed softly.

“Even if it’s noisy, I would appreciate it if you could understand and be generous.”

With those words, Carmen went out.

Damian sat on the sofa and tried to guess Carmen’s intentions.

But after a few minutes, I realized there was no need to do that.

-It is a great honor to have you again.

Carmen’s voice came from the room next door.

-Your Excellency Alexander.

* * *

Alexander.

As soon as he heard that name, Damian immediately killed his presence. He approached the wall and listened.

-I’m not very happy.

-Please tell us the reason and we will fix it immediately.

-Don’t act like a fool. It’s because you handled things so shit!

The sound of something breaking was heard. It seemed like Alexander had thrown an object.

-I told you this several times. Oliver, catch that idiot!

-If that’s the case… … I have nothing to say.

-There shouldn’t be any! It shouldn’t happen! Stupid bitch. You can’t even properly follow orders to please that bastard.

Carmen previously said that the reason she provided entertainment to Oliver Apple was to manage her network.

But after listening to the conversation between the two, it seems the truth was different.

-Do you know what that kid did? They said they were going to subdue the orcs! That idiot who was crazy about alcohol and women!

-Even if I had ten mouths, I wouldn’t have anything to say.”

-shit! If you had only done what you asked, that idiot would have rotted away and been kicked out!

A sound of heavy breathing was heard. Alexander was breathing heavily to drown out his anger.

-Damian Haxen warned us not to approach His Majesty the Crown Prince, so we couldn’t do anything.

-Oh my… … Are you saying that that cheeky kid is scary and I’m not scared?

-That’s not it… … .

-No, no!

Wajangchang.

This time, it sounded like the entire furniture was falling over.

-We will do whatever it takes to make it up to you.

-Who else would give work to idiots like you? I will pay dearly for this, so I know that!

-Please calm down your anger… … .

-You can’t turn it off right away!

There was the sound of objects being thrown again. Soon, the sound of the door closing was heard. It seemed that Carmen had gone out.

‘As expected, he was a different person than he seemed.’

In the royal castle, Alexander Apple was playing a knight devoted to the kingdom.

In reality, he was just a person who made foolish tricks against his nephew.

‘The King has only one child, Oliver. If Oliver is kicked out as crown prince, does he think he can inherit the throne?

It was a time when Damian was lost in thoughts. There was the sound of the door opening again.

-Your Excellency, you seem very angry. It was noisy from the hallway.

A woman’s voice.

The tone was very hard and cold. Although I couldn’t see her face, it seemed like she would keep an expressionless expression no matter what, like a statue.

-Leona! Do I look like I’m not excited? All my plans are ruined because of these idiots!

Alexander Apple shouted in great anger.

-Calm down. It’s already happened. Getting angry won’t change anything.

The woman spoke in a stern tone. Surprisingly, Alexander Apple did as his lady said and began to let go of her anger.

-It is said that a crisis is an opportunity. Rather, if you take advantage of this opportunity, Your Excellency will be able to get what you want more quickly.

-hurry?

-Anyway, the existing plan was a failure. I tried to bring Oliver Apple’s reputation down to the ground and get him out of office… … The King’s support was so firm that there was no income for several years.

-that… … yes. That idiot has been acting like a fool for several years, but you have remained steadfast.

The woman continued speaking.

-His Majesty the Crown Prince volunteered to subdue the orcs, so if it fails. This time, you will not be able to keep your position as crown prince.

-You think I haven’t thought of that? Next to Oliver is Damian Haxen! Is that it? Doesn’t Michael Ryanbloom even have knights from the Gold Pixie family?

-It’s definitely powerful, but there’s nothing to worry about. We just need to mobilize all of our sisters’ capabilities.

-Is there some kind of clever idea?

It was when Damian became more focused to find out what the plan was.

-It’s time for the auction. I will tell you more details later. Anyway, there are some items that must be purchased in order to proceed with the plan.

The two left the room and Damian heard no more about what the plan was.

It was when Damian was clicking his tongue in regret.

Carmen came into the room where Damian was.

“Did you call me here because you wanted to tell me this?”

Damian asked Carmen. Carmen just laughed quietly.

“If what Alexander Apple said is true, I won’t be able to leave you alone. “You’re saying that you intentionally put your hands on His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

“There is no excuse for that. But I want you to know this much. “When someone like His Excellency Alexander makes a request, we have no choice but to comply.”

No matter how big Nokhyang was, there was no way it could compete with the royal family. As for Nokhyang, there would have been no other choice.

“What do you want from me?”

“We just want to get out of this annoying fight.”

“If Alexander Apple comes to power, you will also benefit a lot.”

One corner of Carmen’s mouth twitched at those words.

“Damian, we, Nokhyang, were formed by a group of weak people. “Our only goal is to survive.”

For the largest organization in the Apple kingdom, it had a modest purpose.

“So far, Nokhyang has seen many powerful people fall. “According to our experience, His Excellency Alexander is not a very trustworthy person.”

It was a wise decision. In reality, Alexander Apple did not leave his name anywhere in the future.

“I guess I’m trustworthy, right?”

“Isn’t that why we prepared this event?”

Damian couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Carmen’s words. She was truly a woman who seemed to have honey on her tongue.

“Do you know who the woman was with Alexander Apple?”

“I don’t know anything about him. “I dug around a few times but couldn’t find anything.”

You can’t even detect the scent of green. It was even more suspicious.

If Deer Fragrance didn’t know anything, Damian had no choice but to find out for himself.

“You need to help me one more time.”

“Please tell me.”

“Since the entire theater is being used as an auction house, VIP customers will be guided to box seats, right?”

It refers to a completely separate space between box seats and theater seats.

It was perfect for sharing personal stories, but the rental fee was high so not everyone could use it.

“I would like you to place me in the room next to Alexander Apple.”

* * *

Carmen kept her promise to Damien.

The box seats at the Marverine Theater were quite spacious. Tables and chairs were placed so that people could comfortably enjoy the performance.

When I looked outside, people were filling up the seats. Because it was a secret place, there weren’t that many people.

-Leona! Come on, tell me. How on earth are you going to make the punitive force fail?

Alexander Apple and a woman’s voice were heard from the next room.

Damian amplified his hearing with magic to clearly hear the conversation between the two people.

-Please wait a moment. Since this is a dangerous story, we will prepare first.

A strange wave spread beyond the wall. At the same time, the voices of both people became unheard.

Damian’s eyes doubled in size as he felt the wave.

‘… … ‘Dark magic?’

There’s no way I felt wrong. Just now, the woman used black magic.

‘That’s not normal either.’

What the woman used was a black magic that silenced sound and could only be used by high-ranking black magicians.

‘Alexander Apple is with a warlock?’

In his past life, Oliver Apple overcame treason and ascended to the throne, but he covered up everything.

If the mastermind behind the treason was Alexander Apple, then everything was correct.

If it were revealed that the royal family had colluded with a warlock, not only would the Apple royal family’s name be ruined, but it would also face interference from the church.

‘I can’t believe a person named Wang Je is hanging out with a warlock.’

When I thought that the warlock was right next to me, something started to creep in. Damian struggled to suppress his emotions.

It was not the time to explode with emotions yet. There was a lot to figure out.

‘It’s a high-level black magic, but… … ‘It’s not like there’s no way to eavesdrop.’

The black magic the woman used was to spread a veil to absorb sound. Even if Damian amplified her senses, she couldn’t overhear.

However, Damian could also use black magic.

Damian slightly released the dark magic of the bracelet. He secretly manifested black magic at a level that the woman could not notice.

‘One hole will do.’

Using black magic, he made a hole in the tent without the woman’s knowledge. Then, two people’s voices began to be heard again.

-… … It’s a shame. For His Excellency, Noctis had a hard time gathering a group of orcs.

Damien stuck out his tongue at the woman’s words.

‘Are you saying you caused the Orc incident on purpose?’

There was only one school of warlocks that could do that.

Goejong School.

It was a school that not only controlled monsters, but also mutated them to fight.

It was known to be the most difficult of all warlock schools.

-Damn, originally I was going to use that to get a lot of support money from my brother. Who would have thought that idiot would intercept it?

Listening to the story, it seemed like the plan was to intentionally cause an orc incident and have Alexander subdue it.

‘Now that I think about it, Alexander Apple benefited a lot from solving the incidents that occurred in the kingdom.’

Perhaps the other cases that Alexander Apple has solved so far were all self-made.

To increase one’s reputation and expand one’s power.

-I told Noctis. Raise more orc hordes and mix in other large monsters.

-Orcs and ogres? Can the subjugation fail with that? There are two middle classes over there?

-So, I’m thinking of talking to Marina and preparing poison for her.

It seemed like there were more warlocks that Alexander Apple had with him.

‘Seeing as it’s called poison, it looks like the other one is a Mando scholar.’

They were a group of black magicians who dealt with poison and were also familiar with alchemy.

‘It became a nuisance.’

Poison was a fearsome weapon. With just one drop of extreme poison, even the weak could kill the strong.

Damian had no worries as he had many ways to deal with the poison, but the problem was the other knights.

-However, it is very difficult to create a poison that works for the middle class. That’s why I told you that you should participate in this auction.

-It looks like there’s something I need to get for you, right?

-Quite a lot. The burden is probably very great.

-You don’t need to worry about that. Just in case, I brought a lot of capital with me.

Alexander Apple spoke loudly.

-I need to promise you something instead. I’m telling you that this subjugation will definitely fail.

-No need to worry. In the name of Pandemonium, we will make this plan a success.

At that moment, Damian felt a shock as if an arrow had hit his head.

Pandemonium.

The largest, strongest, and worst group of warlocks active around the empire.

It was a place where at least one country could be destroyed if all power was mobilized.

Because of its great danger, it was a place that both the Empire and the Church were keeping a close eye on.

‘That’s interesting. It’s so damn fun.’

In his previous life, Pandemonium was Dorgo’s strongest supporter and force.

That’s why my anger rose. The buried hatred raised its head and shouted.

He told me to go into the next room right away and tear that woman to death.

But Damian gritted his teeth and held back his hatred.

It’s not difficult to kill a woman named Leona. But if he did that, he would have no choice but to miss the other two warlocks.

When I could kill all three, I had to do it.

“I’ll go in for a moment.”

At that time, a man in a tailcoat entered the box seat where Damian was.

“These are the items coming up on this auction house.”

The man handed Damien a booklet and then went outside. Damian opened the booklet and looked at the contents.

“hmm.”

Unfortunately, there was nothing that appealed to me. Still, just in case, I looked at the back page some more.

Meanwhile, one object caught my eye.

“Mana practice and related techniques. About 50% destroyed by fire?”

There was a mana practice that Damian was looking for.

Perhaps because it was destroyed in a fire, the starting price for the auction was very low.

“Would you like to buy one?”

It was unfortunate that it was lost, but it could be restored with Damian’s experience and knowledge.

“Is there anything else?”

Damian had turned a few more pages. One unusual object caught my eye.

“Unidentified, if you carry it, you become immune to cold and block cold-type magic?”

Damian, who was reading the explanation, exclaimed in surprise.

“… … “It’s the heart of a spirit, right?”

If Damian’s guess was correct, it could be considered a windfall.

This is because not many people know about the spirit heart yet compared to its value, so it can be obtained cheaply.

-Your Excellency, look here. The Spirit’s Heart is on display.

However, Damien was not the only one who recognized the spirit’s heart.

The warlock of Pandemonium also recognized the spirit’s heart.

-You must get this. It’s not something that’s easily available.

-Okay. Let me buy this too.

-Thank you for your generosity.

Damian smoothed his chin. It wasn’t a very good situation.

Although Damian also had quite a lot of wealth, his partner was a member of the royal family.

There was no guarantee that one could win a fight with financial resources.

-What else do you need?

-You will need a bundle of moonflower, Basilisk’s eye, Mandragog’s powder, the heart of the Chiljeomsa, and the fruit of a dried tree.

-If you have them, you can make a poison that can even kill middle classes, right?

While listening to the conversation between the two, a clever idea came to mind.

While the spirit’s heart was located at the back, the objects the woman was talking about were placed at the front.

Anyone could participate in the auction and raise the price. And Damian knew what they needed.

‘Should I try to disturb them sometime?’
