Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 522
Episode 522
“The target has let down its guard.”
Those dressed as priests made contact through the crystal ball.
– Good job. How was the verification?
“It looks pretty clear that Target got what we were looking for.”
As I reported the report in a nervous tone, a relaxed laugh was heard from beyond the crystal ball.
– Well done trying to lure him in. It took a little longer than expected, but it wasn’t very fast either. I was worried that the saint might know about the ruins of Hermeisha, but I’m glad.
“No matter how much I’m a first-class risk subject, that’s it.”
-At least so far, none of the first-class risk targets selected by the organization have been simple. Are you going to disobey your superiors’ orders?
The man’s expression darkened in silence.
“That… that’s…”
-Because an idiot took command, the organization has already given them priority. A stranger with precious abilities was also lost. But are you going to break the order again?
He was a man who could feel his heart tightening just by hearing his voice.
He knelt down on one knee, gasping for air, struggling to resist the pressure.
However, despite his efforts,
“I was short-tempered. Please give me orders.”
– It’s an obvious provocation. Even though we really need the nobles he has, we don’t have to instill vigilance. don’t touch
“Ha… but! It’s a golden opportunity to deal with all of them at once! We can recapture the monsters and cause a conflict…” -Are you saying you ca
n’t follow my words?
At the young man’s voice, the man in priestly clothes nodded quietly.
Eventually, when the light of the crystal ball went out, he threw off the priestly robe he was wearing, changed into a black robe, and opened his mouth.
“Keep an eye on them. Don’t miss your chance tonight and slaughter them all.”
There was a ghastly lust in his eyes.

“Ugh… no more… I can’t drink any more…”
There weren’t many people inside the old restaurant.
However, if you take a look at their existence, they are absolutely not ordinary people.
emperor of an empire.
And the central hegemonic state, the golden jade leaf of the Palan Empire, the strongest country, and the princess called the owner of the divine sword.
In addition, a saint who exerts tremendous influence even with a simple manor.
If so, are the remaining members of the group insignificant?
However, that was not the case.
On the outside, they are ordinary and innocent boys and girls, but their identities are formal members of the knights who protect the continent by cutting ties with the world.
Except for Boris, who is the only one who looks at the situation disapprovingly, the rest are literally fighting a war of drunkenness.
It’s already been 10 bottles to pour barley beer that commoners love into a giant glass and take a one-shot.
After several large oak barrels have been emptied, they begin to fall apart one by one.
Fildir stretched out on the floor, and Shire Renda, who slept soundly with her head resting on his arm, was already stretched out when the first oak barrel was emptied.
And Shire Renda’s twin sister, Fendir Renda, was crying and trying to get away with her sister, but she was already drunk, so she stumbled and fell asleep with her head on Fildir’s other arm.
“Hehehehe… I can drink more. Ohhh!”
A little unexpected was Lucia Schellman, a fanatic of the first saint Daphne.
If you don’t move mana unless you become a sword master, the detoxification effect is slightly better than that of ordinary people.
However, Lucia recklessly poured alcohol without detoxification with divine power, and only the oak barrel endured until this moment when the fever passed.
“Ahahahahaha!!! I really like it! Jim prefers an honest woman to a woman who is unnecessarily talkative. How about it? Would you like to become Jim’s concubine?”
“Hiccuk… I’m Yo… Hiccuk… I’m a priest who serves Pria-sama…” ”
Hmm… I haven’t heard of a case where priests can’t get married… What is your opinion?”
“Hey, I wasn’t born and raised in a church, so how do I know. However, the Goddess Freea who gave me is a god who teaches married people rather than single ones.”
“Look at that.”
“Huh… Hiccup! Daeje… Daejenim has a lot of money?”
“Hmm… Money rots and overflows. Do you want goods? Everything in this vast empire in this western land belongs to me.”
“Hmm… then that… that Davy, what was that?”
“Are you strong?”
“That’s right! Fildir said that a man must be strong! That’s right, the waist! Especially the waist!”
“Hahahahahaha! You’re so bold!”
The occupation revealed on the outside is a commoner, and a mere mercenary girl.
Being a priest doesn’t mean you have a position unconditionally.
If such a mere mercenary girl asks the emperor whether he has a lot of money or whether he is good at night work, this situation is usually a situation that would not be strange even if his neck fell off several times.
However, Kontas the Great burst out laughing and giggling as if he was having more fun.
Then, with her dangerous eyes shining, she put her hand on Lucia Schelman’s cheek.
Lucia looks up at him with half-closed eyes and just hesitates.
“Yeah, do you want that? I’ve never seen a woman I like like you before, so where can I show Jim’s skills…”
Tak…
“You drank your cup.”
At my words, he clicked his tongue briefly.
“Why are you blocking it, Prince?”
“I am still a child.”
“Hmm… On the outside, you seem to be the same age as you, but aren’t you an adult?”
“Then do you want to continue?”
He said calmly and put the small knife in his pocket back on the table.
Not a single sword skill was expressed, but the blade was deeply embedded in the wooden table as if it were alive.
Seeing that appearance, the great emperor was silent as if he had lost interest.
“This is such a dark-hearted guy that he’s trying to manipulate the great emperor of the empire. If it’s not true, then just do Jim’s favor and he’ll stop.”
“What is it?”
“Marry Jim’s daughter.”
At his words, I emptied the full glass with one shot.
“You are the royal family of a country. The royal family has many rights, but they also have duties. I heard that you are refusing all arranged marriages for the sake of a single wife?”
I was silent at his words.
I fulfilled all other duties, but I was the only one who insisted on this.
“How far do you think that will go in your life?”
“It’s not impossible.”
“If that’s what you meant, you shouldn’t have been so prominent.”
He smiled bitterly.
“If the world had just gone the way I envisioned it, I wouldn’t have ascended to the throne, and I wouldn’t have had many women I didn’t love.”
Shaking the glass roughly, he holds out the glass.
“You should also know that things in the world don’t always go your way.”
“Keep that in mind.”
“In that sense, how about marrying Jim’s daughter?”
At that, I looked into his face in silence. Certainly he was a young man.
At first glance, you have to hit it well to be in your 30s.
If so…
“I’m telling you this just in case, but the emperor. The age of the princess…”
“This year is nine.”
Hey, you human.
“You seem to want to make me a pedophile right now.”
“Where’s the law that says you have to stay up all night to get married? For Jim, marriage is just part of a way to protect you…” For the first time, I felt bitterness on his face, but I felt it in my hand
. I focused on emptying the glass I held.
Tuong!!
A drinking party is going on. A lot of time has already passed.
All that was left were four people with superior detoxification abilities and above the level of sword masters.
“Huh… It seems like they don’t even send a message anyway.”
“Then how about this?”
As he stared at me with his eyes wide open, I held out a black bottle I had taken out earlier.
At the same time, a discoloration appeared on his face.
“Oh, it’s an unusual bottle. Is it some kind of glass?”
“It’s a bit similar, but the contents are so poisonous that it melts if you put it in a normal glass.”
At first glance, it’s safe to say it’s poison, but he looked more curious than wary.
If you drink this and endure, I will admit it.
“Because he is poisonous… What is his name?”
“It’s called Uhwadeungseonju. It’s named because you can leave for the world in one shot. There’s a similar sister product, Nirvana Wine. Would you like to try it?”
“Let’s have a drink.”
At his words, I smiled and took out two more glasses made of dark wood from the subspace.
“Huh? Davy? Mine?”
“You can eat it if you want to die.”
At my words, she flinched and withdrew.
I realized that I wasn’t talking empty words.
“It’s a drink that you risk your life… It’s very interesting.”
“If you’re scared, you can stop here.”
“I can’t do that. Come in and see. Jim’s alcohol is the best in the empire.”
At that, I poured a small amount of fable deungseonju into a small black wooden cup.
[Hiccup… I can’t sleep without this. I don’t even get a message for a fair amount of alcohol anymore. Oh, Daphne, go have a drink?]
[Shut up, you crazy bitch. I told you to take care of your stomach properly, but you didn’t. Do you want to take off your stomach again!? I told you to take care of yourself
.
It was enough to get drunk after pouring it into a hot tub, but in ordinary cases, Nirvana is a vicious drink that sends people away with just one bite.
And it was the same for me that I couldn’t even think of drinking the nirbanju.
It was like that in the corridor too… Maybe now, let alone Nirvana, you’ll get drunk just by drinking fabled lanterns.
A drink that makes people who use the sword in the world get drunk at once.
As the name suggests,
it’s extremely heinous.
And in a short moment, mana started to burst out of his whole body.
“Keuuuu… that’s amazing.”
With his face starting to turn red, he threw the reward necklace he had taken out earlier.
It was a necklace imbued with strange powers.
“It’s yours.” With that
,
he hit his head on the table and fell asleep.
“… Excuse me.”
Eventually, the escort of the great emperor slipped out of the shadows, supported him, and spoke to me.
“The spirit of alcohol itself will go away cleanly when the sun rises. Let me rest well.”
“All right.”
“and… The great emperor is also drunk, but I heard that the power he learned has great immunity to this kind of poison…”
“My name is not Uhwadeungseonju for nothing.”
Saying so, I poured a small amount of Uhwadeungseonju into the cup as it is. At the same time ,
the tremendous energy of alcohol was pushed and spread throughout the body.
Ilina pinched her nose and frowned at the tremendous intoxication and smell that could not be easily deciphered even with the power of mana.
”
Chief Davy.”
Boris, who was quietly sipping a drink, asked me in a cold tone,
” What
are you doing?”
“What are you doing?” It is
said
to create an effect similar to silence magic by blocking all mediums through which sound can pass.
It
was an amazing achievement
. I’ve never mentioned anything about the Knights.”
“…”
“The Great Emperor misunderstands the teacher and those guys as just people with whom I have a one-sided relationship. Ordinary people know it as a mercenary who was fortunate enough to be helped by the appearance of the Great Emperor. Isn’t that a best-case scenario?”
“It didn’t have to be done! If I had only lowered my head there, no one here would have cared about our existence…” ”
Who said they didn’t care?” He
was silent when I asked.
You don’t know?”
“Davie member.”
“Teacher. Knight Commander Clomen, don’t you know why that picky man invited Illina and me to this event?”
He was silent at my question.
“Who are we fighting for?”
“The warlock who destroyed one branch of the Knights. Besides, there are strangers with unknown powers.”
“Then I’ll ask you again. Sir.”
I asked with the utmost courtesy.
“Who is the enemy the Knights have been fighting for? Were you a human who used to be petty and knew how to hide? Or.” ”
…”
“Were you a monster that acted on your instincts?”
Monsters are monsters, but isn’t that Clomen man who sent us to use experts to catch people?
