The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 84

Episode 84. Lamberstar Cage (3)

As befits its name as a neutral city, there were no lords in Lambetha.

However, just because there was no lord, it did not mean that there was no master.

In particular, in places where there is frequent conflict like Lambetha, the owner of the territory changes every day, and there are many forces and factions trying to occupy it, so it is like a small-scale battlefield.

“after… … .”

A man with red hair darker than blood is sitting on the stone steps and smoking a cigarette.

His name is Gunther Rictus.

He was one of the city’s rulers who managed the waste dump in the western part of Lambersta.

In front of him was a subordinate who was waiting to report on a series of incidents that had occurred in the eastern sector a while ago.

“Little boy?”

“Yes that’s right. “It is said that it appeared in the entertainment alley at the entrance to the city and trampled on the district officials there, leaving a warning.”

“What did you say?”

The man relayed the boy’s warning exactly as he had, and upon hearing this, Gunther laughed out loud.

“Kikikick! Did you really do that? If you touch him, he’ll be crippled somewhere. “Aren’t you the guy with the crazy head?”

My first thought was that it might be crazy rather than ridiculous.

He didn’t seem particularly offended by the cheeky boy’s warning.

“So what are they doing in that area? “There’s no way Delkia can stay still, right?”

“Of course, as soon as they heard the story, they started looking for the boy’s whereabouts. However, I heard that it was surprisingly easy to find.”

“okay? “Where is it?”

“It’s in the Lambert Star Cage.”

Gunther’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Lamberstar Cage?”

“yes. I also got the most expensive room, the VIP room. “Only by myself.”

At this, Gunther’s face changed subtly.

“Are you a noble?”

“I don’t know about that. However, I heard that they did not write down their name when they booked the room.”

“You must have seen the face, right? “I heard there was nothing special?”

“There’s another strange thing there… … .”

The man hesitated to speak for a moment, as if he, too, was not sure.

“Everyone there said they couldn’t remember the boy’s face.”

“You don’t remember?”

Gunther immediately asked a question.

“yes. Although I clearly remembered other things, such as the hair style, clothes, voice, and gait, I could hardly recall the face. Other than that he has black hair and sharp eyes… … .”

“Does that make sense? “It’s not like I have a facial recognition problem, and I even got beaten up, so why can’t I remember it?”

There was nothing I could answer since I was not the one who had to ask.

Gunther’s expression hardened for a moment, but it didn’t last long.

“Anyway, the boy is in the Lamberstar Cage now, right? “He trampled on street thugs and even warned them, but he probably wasn’t there just to watch, right?”

“Well, that’s right, isn’t it?”

A naughty smile appeared on his lips.

He immediately threw away the cigarette he was burning and stood up.

-Crack sound

I simply woke up, but the sound of bloody bones erupted from my entire body.

“It’s really been a long time. The guy who intrigued me enough to make a move myself. “He’s more than just interesting, he’s exciting.”

With a face full of joy, the destination he was heading to was definitely Lamberstar Cage.

* * *

When people are in a space they don’t naturally fit into, they tend to receive a lot of attention.

That’s exactly who I am now.

Although I wasn’t conscious of it, it was safe to say that I was receiving the attention of everyone around me right now.

“Hey. Lambusta Cage has also changed a lot? “Are kids like that coming in too?”

“Isn’t this a servant who lost his master and is wandering astray? “Otherwise you wouldn’t be here, right?”

“Why don’t you go and knock over the bridge?”

If you do that, you might break your legs, so I hope you don’t put it into practice.

[After work is over, are you going to kill everyone here?]

I asked back, surprised by the sudden and cruel words.

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

[No, otherwise it would be too confident, right? No matter how far away you are, is it okay to show your face openly like this?]

“… … .”

I stared into her eyes for a moment.

[Why are you looking at me like that?]

“No, I was wondering what was going on because you were worrying so unusually for me… … .”

[This rat-sized thing is going to die?!]

After what happened to me, it seems inevitable that I would feel suspicious no matter what I do.

Well, she’s not wrong though.

Basically, when an assassin cuts his own face, it means that he has a strong intention to kill the other person.

Even though I am far from the academy, the story about me has probably already spread throughout the city due to the conflict with the miscellaneous a while ago.

Then, it will only be a matter of time before new information, including his face, spreads.

But if you were going to do it so clumsily, why would you break your face?

They did so because they had their own insurance method.

“It will be fine. “People in this city won’t remember my face anyway.”

She looked like she was about to ask a question, but then she looked at my face.

[…] … You did something to my face?]

I didn’t change my face or anything.

I just did something to prevent others from remembering my face.

My face is invisible now, but it is shrouded in a thin film of black fog.

This is a modified version of one of Mist’s secret techniques, ‘Ammu’s 1st Style: Camouflage’, and is a trick used to prevent others who see my face from remembering it by causing recognition problems.

In other words, everyone who has seen my face can be said to have facial recognition disorder.

So, even if I make a fuss here, my identity will not be discovered.

[Anyway, who doesn’t think he’s a nerd, and he’s really good at teaching such shallow tricks?]

“… … .”

[why? What else?]

“no.”

I wanted to ask myself if I had inherited the power of that idiot god, but I decided to hold back this time.

I stood in front of the betting booth with a calm face.

At this, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a guide looked at me with an ambiguous gaze.

“Uh, well, I mean. Are you going to bet… … ?”

Before answering, I looked at today’s match-up on the table.

I looked around just in case, but as expected, I couldn’t find the name I was looking for.

“Is it okay to just watch without betting?”

“Yes, that’s possible, but could you please show me the name plate?”

The only thing that could be called a nameplate from me was the one the employee had handed me a while ago.

“V-VIP?!”

The guide who checked the nameplate could not keep his mouth shut.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know! We’ll take you to the VIP room right away! What are you doing!”

The guards who were waiting came running out with a shout.

I didn’t check it because I was too lazy, but it was a convenient ticket, right?

Still, it doesn’t seem like the employee is doing anything.

“what? “These days, even chicks like this get VIP tickets?”

I thought things were going smoothly, but as expected, a rough voice came from behind me.

“W-what did you do?”

The owner of the voice eventually snatched my nameplate from the guide.

I didn’t want to express the exterior.

He was a typical big bully who couldn’t judge the situation, nothing more, nothing less.

“I don’t think it’s fake, but is this kid really paying money to get the VIP room?”

“What are you doing?! “Let’s not hurry and protect our guests!”

“Oh, why are you doing this? You said you just wanted to look around? “It’s not like I’m going to eat you, right?”

It seemed like he was such an annoying guy that even the guards noticed him.

“As expected, if you have money, this little friend can also get a VIP name plate? “You seem to be the son of a noble family.”

I stared into his eyes without saying a word.

“Oh my! Your eyes are so fierce! ah? Are you the protagonist of that warm boy? Did he warn you not to touch him if you want to live? “So am I in really big trouble right now?”

With a bizarre laugh that I couldn’t tell if it was a joke or a mockery, he put his hand on my shoulder as if showing off.

okay.

You even knew my warning and yet you dared to mess with me?

-Sigh

I naturally grabbed his beard and then,

“… … ?”

I took the shot without even realizing it.

-bang!

The room rang with a loud roar, but I didn’t care.

It will ring three more times.

-bang! bang! bang!

After exactly three loud noises, the surroundings became completely silent.

“K-keke…” … .”

I didn’t manage to pass out.

I threw away the guy’s blood-covered face without recognition.

“Where should I go?”

“Go, the guards will guide you!”

The subsequent process proceeded smoothly.

“The match is over! Albert the winner!”

“Whoa!”

During the five matches in total, I felt only one emotion.

boring.

I sat in the VIP section, which was the best seat, and watched the game, but it was so boring that I almost fell asleep.

[Why do you pay money to watch something like this?]

It was the same for Kayram.

The fun of watching a fight is guaranteed when those who are stronger than you face off against each other.

‘The moment I think I can do better than that,’ I guess the fun is over.

I watched the game to check the situation, but there didn’t seem to be any real results.

I took out the instructions handed to me by the head of the family and looked at them.

You might ask why it’s so short, but this is the end.

There is no exact name or specific crime, just one sentence: kill the owner of this facility.

It’s a situation where the recipient has no choice but to pull out their hair.

But if there’s anything better, I know who owns this eccentric establishment.

Lindsay Nihalov.

The owner of Lambert Star Cage and one of the actual rulers of this city.

However, the only thing I know about it is the name.

Currently, nothing is known about his personal life, such as what his face looks like, what his gender is, how old he is, and what purpose he lives for, and this was the same even in his past life.

First of all, it is presumed that he has a lot of money as he runs an arena, so it is said that he had contacts in quite a few places in his past life.

Among them was Ruinel, the imperial prince.

Ruinel, who later became emperor, approached him to raise military funds for the unification of the continent, but he was persistently rejected.

Accordingly, after the unification of the continent, the emperor sent troops to Lamberta to take over the neutral city, but the city had already become a ghost town, and Lindsey Nihalov’s whereabouts were nowhere to be found.

I was one of the knights who went out to conquer Lamberta at that exact time.

As a result, I came back with only a smell of dust.

In the end, I think we need to find out who this Lindsay Nihalof is.

To do that, I have to make him find me, not me.

I got up and headed back to the betting booth.

“W-what can I help you with?”

The guide, whose face was even more stiff than before, looked at me and quickly asked.

“Do you want to apply to be a player?”
