Chapter 128 Finding the Demon (4)
Elodie rolled her eyes eagerly after hearing Frondier’s words.
In the end, I was the first to speak out cautiously.
With a slightly red face.
“Aren’t you overreacting?”
In contrast, Frondier’s face was surprisingly calm as he shook his head.
It seemed like he didn’t even know what he was saying.
“no. “After seeing the atmosphere of the capital, I can’t ignore it.”
Judging by the statues and photos, the two loved by the goddess were beautiful women. It is definitely an unusual appearance.
However, it is too unreasonable to compare these four with a beautiful woman who is just an uncommon beauty.
Elodie compares her sunset-colored hair and lake-filled eyes to a landscape.
Carla has been officially certified as having the same appearance as Elodie.
Selena, the assassin selected to lure Frondier from Cape Bay.
Lili, a completely enchanting demon who seems to be another name for Lilith.
These are the four top-class looks in the entire world, but it is a long way for the selected humans in the capital to catch up.
‘I had that anxiety even before I came here.’
Before Frondier met Kala, he couldn’t believe it when he told her that she was as beautiful as Elodie.
I thought something like that couldn’t happen, and at the same time, I was surprised that I even thought that way. Because I had never thought about it.
It wasn’t until I heard rumors about Carla that I realized how I perceived Elodie. It would be a very, very slim chance for someone with that appearance to appear again.
Still, Kala was convinced because she brought with her the legend of the mythical Medusa, but could a human chosen by the goddess simply because she was the prettiest in the capital surpass the looks of these four?
‘Unless God gives me plastic surgery on my face… No, I guess it would still be difficult.’
It should be said that this result was decided at the time Frontier raised such questions.
“good. Let’s move quickly. “It’s no good because there are so many people looking at your faces.”
Afterwards, the group followed Kala’s guidance and moved to rescue the mask.
Frontier asked Kala as he moved.
“But how do you know where the mask is?”
“…I was also doing something that wasn’t that honorable until recently.”
Carla collected information about the devil under threat from Antero. He must have secured a means to hide himself.
After walking for a while, Elodie, who had been hesitant, eventually came near the frontier.
“Frondier, is this really necessary?”
“what?”
“If you go. “I don’t feel like I have to hide my face.”
Frondier shook his head.
It seemed that Elodie did not know the seriousness of the situation.
“Now that I think about it, your primary defense was mana detection. So, are you dull in this area?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Look at Selena.”
Hearing Frontier’s words, Elodie shifted her gaze to Selena.
“….”
Selena had a very nervous face.
“Three, Selena? “Why are you doing this?”
“…Well, I feel burdened by the gaze.”
Selena, like a trained assassin, did not glance around, but even without that, she was able to sense the signs of people passing by.
Riri next to her had a somewhat relaxed expression, but she also sympathized with Selena.
“This isn’t just a familiar look, like favor or lust.”
“Yo, lust… Well, then what kind of perspective are you looking at now?”
Elodie asked even though her face turned red.
“What can I say…. It’s a look of enormous caution and suspicion.”
Carla answered there.
“I felt that way when I first came here. “Somewhere, there was an atmosphere of non-acceptance.”
“I guess so.”
Frondier nodded as if it was no big deal.
“got it? Now, your appearance isn’t just a matter of being bothered by a few men’s flirtations. “It’s a pretty serious problem in this capital.”
If it was just one person, I probably could have gotten over it.
It’s a different story when there are four people with that level of looks.
A human being clearly more beautiful than the one chosen by the goddess. There is no way it can be recognized.
“So let’s quickly put on a mask and escape this crisis.”
“…huh.”
Elodie nodded as if she was fully convinced.
His face was still red.
* * *
“Welcome.”
When I arrived at the place Carla guided me to, the clerk gave me a friendly greeting.
‘It’s a more prosperous store than I thought.’
Frondier looked around. When I heard that they were selling masks, I imagined a dark and shady atmosphere, but it turned out to be just an ordinary store. It was just a little old.
‘Now that I think about it, I just asked for the mask from Queenie, but I had no idea how the mask was obtained.’
As Frondier looked around the store, he wondered for a moment whether Queenie had also obtained a mask in this way.
Of course, the mask he knew was not visible on the display stand or shelf.
Of course, it would be natural. Although the ‘mask’ has been used in many ways, it is an illegal item. There’s no way it’s in a visible place.
‘Don’t just scratch and make a mess, let’s leave this to Carla.’
Carla also learned the meaning of frontier and approached the clerk.
“Hello Colin. long time no see.”
“President of Atlas. “You came again.”
The clerk named Colin bowed his head.
Carla took a look around. After confirming that there were no guests except Frondier and his companions.
“Colin, I need help.”
Carla spoke in a more relaxed tone.
Colin frowned as he looked at the others, including Frontier, instead of Carla.
“Kala, I’m in trouble. I wouldn’t know if I came alone. “By bringing so many people.”
“Sorry. But it’s important. It will be helpful to you in the future as well.”
“It helps me…”
Colleen sighed, saying, “I guess so.”
Carla spoke in a stronger voice.
“Did you see me lying?”
“I didn’t see it. That’s why it’s so difficult.”
After saying that, Colin turned his back. I stood in front of a wall that was nothing special.
‘Oh oh.’
Frondier was thrilled.
From the conversation, Carla asked Colin to do something secret. Something that should not be shown to others.
Colin went in front of the empty wall there. What Frontier immediately thought of was a secret passage.
‘If you press the hidden switch nearby or move the products in order, the wall will crack open.’
Frontier had expectations, and those expectations were only half true.
Kwasik!
“…her?”
Frondier looked at the scene blankly.
The scene where Colin kicks the wall to open the back space.
There was no special manipulation or anything like that. However, it was surprising to see the wall that I thought was stone torn like a piece of paper.
After that, a secret passage was revealed, just as Frontier had expected. It was a staircase leading to the basement.
Colin, who tore down the wall with a plain expression, turned his head again and this time looked at Frondier.
“There, the pitch-black leader.”
“…huh?”
“I will only allow you to accompany me. “Other people can’t.”
Frondier blinked, then narrowed his brows.
“How did you know I was the leader?”
A momentarily heightened alertness. Does that man named Colin have the power to sense the strength or abilities of others? It’s okay if you’re just feeling strong, but it’s troublesome if your abilities are discovered.
Colin said.
“You cannot ignore the tact that you have developed as a merchant.”
“sense?”
“People around you are interested in your position and situation, even if you pretend not to be. “Stand in an appropriate position so that you can block a surprise attack at any time.”
The other people’s eyes also widened at that. It was exactly what Colin said, but it wasn’t something that would be easily recognized.
Colin waved his hand.
“Okay, that’s it. Brother, just come.”
“…I’m just asking out of curiosity, what happens if I refuse? “I already showed you the secret passage.”
“Then we will destroy this store and we will all die together.”
That sounds scary.
There is no pitch in the tone, so I don’t know if it’s bravado or not. Of course, it might be a bluff, but I thought there was a 1% chance that they might really take it down.
“okay. “Everyone, please wait here.”
said Basileo.
“It’s dangerous, sir.”
“Who are you talking to?”
“Of course you’re talking about me. “I’m in danger without a teacher.”
“…I’ll see you later.”
Frondier walked towards Colin, leaving behind a warning that was not a warning.
The three of them, Frontier, Colin, and Carla, walked down the basement stairs.
Contrary to the thought that we would soon find ourselves in another place, the stairs were quite long.
“It’s quite deep.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“There is no way that just any architect could handle this level of secret passage. “It makes even more sense to say that I dug it out by myself.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“You’re not working alone.”
“Well, that’s right.”
Colin’s reaction was flat. I thought you touched on a pretty sharp point.
Frontier tilted his head.
“Was this information that everyone knew? “I guessed too hard for no reason.”
“no. “This is information that I hope will not be discovered if possible.”
“…For something like that, he’s calm.”
“I’m incredibly surprised.”
is it?
Just by looking at their facial expressions, it seems like they’ve heard about today’s weather.
“But the pitch-black leader.”
“Who is the pitch-black leader?”
“Black and handsome leader, do you prefer which side?”
“…No, that’s not what I’m talking about. “It’s called ‘Frondier.’”
“All right.”
Colin nodded.
“Brother Frontier, what is your relationship with Mr. Kala?”
The title ‘hyungnim’ doesn’t seem to change.
“A co-worker.”
Rector and Teacher of Atlas. It’s not wrong.
“If Carla introduces me to you, then we’re not just coworkers.”
“We are moving together for the greater good.”
“…okay.”
Colin didn’t ask any more questions.
As I walked quietly, I saw a tightly closed door at the end of the stairs.
“Of course, this place is a secret to the general public.”
“Of course I know.”
Squeak.
Colin opened the door.
The small room was filled with antique tables and chairs, and bookshelves on the walls.
When I entered, there was a sofa and a chair on the opposite wall, so it seemed like this was where the guests would sit.
‘…Small.’
That was my impression when I first entered Frontier.
If it were a normal house, it wouldn’t matter whether it was small or big, but Frondier had now walked down a considerable distance of stairs to the basement.
‘Is it necessary to come down this deep to create a room this small?’
I had doubts, but I didn’t show them for now.
Colin sat on a chair in front of the table.
“What you need is a mask, right?”
“How can that be? Ah, that’s right.”
“yes. “Because I have eyes too.”
Colin also saw women like Carla and Elodie. Of course, I immediately knew what was needed in the current situation.
“It’s not difficult to give a mask.”
Colin was rummaging for something under the table. And the hand on the table was holding a mask. It looked almost the same as what Frontier had seen on the Palind continent.
I immediately checked the information in the workshop and realized that it was a good quality mask without any problems.
‘I was worried that there would be a low-quality mask, but with this one, there will be no problem.’
…but.
Frondier laughed bitterly inwardly.
‘It’s so noisy.’
Colin said there.
“You know what? All merchants are also information merchants. If it’s the right ones. “In this day and age, there is no merchant who does not know that information is the most expensive item.”
“…Right.”
“So, if you give me the mask for a fair price, the deal is done, but before that, I would like to ask you one thing.”
“what?”
“I think Brother Frontier is quite intelligent.”
Colin looked at Carla briefly. Carla tilted her head.
Colin looked at Frontier again.
“Mr. ‘Frondier di Roach’.”
“…!”
Colin called Frontier by his full name.
When I heard the name Frontier, I knew it was the owner of that full name.
“I’d like to make one more deal.”
