The Priest of Corruption - Chapter 199
interrogation.
interrogation.
“…Your memory is hazy?!”
Soldos’ face contorted in obvious contempt.
“You dare not even remember the deep sin of insulting and despising this country!!!”
“You don’t look like you’re mad? Master?”
“It seems so.”
Master shrugged and agreed with my words. Naturally, we had this conversation right in Soldos’ face, and the whole conversation went straight to Soldos’ ears.
“These naughty children!!! I tried to be patient, but I just can’t stand it!!! Raise your sword!!! You diabolical villain!!!”
Guernsey Soldos, who was a more polite man than he thought, got angry and took a fighting stance, but Master threatened to raise his sword and take a stance. In response, Master rather let out a short sigh after hanging down his sword.
“I want you to call Kiphyllis instead of you…”
“Kiplis senior is at the forefront of the southern front!!! And He is not someone you can just tell come and go on your own!!!”
Soldos lowered his waist and aimed the tip of his stick precisely at Master’s center. Master swung the sword at Soldos’ eyes.
“Is it okay if I ask you one thing?”
“What!!!”
“Don’t you feel anything when you see this sword?”
Master’s favorite sword with a blue blade. ‘Death’. Master held out a little closer to Soldos’ face, as if there was a story behind the sword.
“The sword of a foolish man like you!!! It’s not something I know!!!”
“ha.”
another sigh. Master raised the tip of the sword. Master Friediya’s face was full of annoyance.
“As expected, being a young master is too troublesome. I’ve only lived for a hundred years and don’t know anything, but my ego is too strong.”
“I am not the one who will be disciplined by someone who has wielded his own strength like you…”
Kaang!!!
The seon-gong was the master. Just as Master always taught me, ‘You don’t have to listen to an opponent judged to be an enemy.’
“What?!”
Swords and sticks collided and both sides bounced off. As expected, it was Soldos who was pushed back more. He lost the voice he had been talking about a moment ago, and my master lost his expression.
A sword that is inorganic and full of murderous intent. The blue sword drove Soldos like a beast. Soldos briskly moved his hands to deflect and block Master’s offensive.
A workshop that goes beyond the realm of cognition. That alone proved that Soldos is a worthy ‘master’.
While Master was dealing with Soldos, I also had other work to do.
“Where are you in such a hurry?”
Chief Constable Breme, who had been sneaking out, flinched at my call. I smiled and walked towards him.
“Would it be okay if I ask you something before you go?”
silence for a while. He seemed to quickly analyze the situation. Me, who had been standing still behind Master’s back, and Master, who were immediately tied to Soldos. The answer he reached at the end of a short thought was not very pleasing to me.
“I have nothing to answer you!!!”
Without hesitation, he kicked the bookshelf over to me and resumed his flight.
Did it look good too?
I ran after him avoiding the lightly toppling bookshelf. Although Master was still fighting Soldos, Master Pridiya was not at all worried that Soldos would defeat him.
“If you stop right now, I won’t hurt you!”
“That master and that disciple!!! I have no shame!!! I am the chief magistrate of the empire!!! Give in to that blackmail…”
Bang!!!
The kicked body rolled over and crashed into the wall.
“Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Of course, unless he had the talent to fly and crawl, I couldn’t resist the pursuit of my body, which was beyond the perpetrator’s ability. I stood still and waited patiently for him to come to his senses.
“Didn’t I tell you to stop doing that? I had no intention of treating you in pain.”
“Shut up! If you were me, wouldn’t you have run away!”
Well, the country also ran away.
“Then I will ask you a few questions. If you answer me correctly, I will send you safely right away.”
He was silent again for a moment, then sat down and looked up at me.
“Answer me or else I will choose!”
I felt it from a while ago, but judging from the fact that he tricked us into calling a master, and judging from his docile attitude, this man knew how to bend but had a strong will. The kind of person who doesn’t answer easily by destroying a few places.
“Do whatever you want. Then I’ll ask. Who the hell stole Master’s things?”
“Why are you asking me that! I don’t know!”
I shook my head slowly.
“No, you already know the organization that those who stole Master’s belongings belonged to. Did you say that earlier? I agree with the chief. Haven’t you already guessed? The identities of those who raided the town of artisans and stole weapons.”
“…”
Instead of answering, Braim kept his mouth shut. Now, it was my turn to appease him.
“As you can see, my teacher is not an ordinary person. He is the true culprit of the heinous imperial palace rebels, even certified by the master escorting the emperor.”
I sat down and made eye contact with him.
“My master will never stop until he gets the sword back. Do you really want your ‘ghost’ to go wrong?”
Braim’s eyes shook slightly at the word giant.
The human eye, not professionally trained, can easily spit out the truth. It was good to focus on his eyes. I provoked him with a more general word and the very thing I deduced.
“Perhaps they are plotting something big enough to shake the foundations of this country in the near future. That’s the only thing that would require a lot of good quality weapons.”
“…You are talking nonsense. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“A lot of things have already gone wrong. The Commissioner must have tried to use the authority of the National Security Agency to keep this matter as quiet as possible so that it could reach the Emperor’s ears late. But already, the story of the peace agency being engulfed in blue flames must have spread all over the capital.”
I patted my head.
“Perhaps the story will reach the ears of the emperor, and the emperor of the Northern Empire will be curious about the circumstances behind this story. that much. Shouldn’t we just take care of this incident at that level?”
He leaned over and whispered softly into his ear.
“To bring the emperor down from the throne.”
The pupil shook more vigorously than before. He was startled and tried to scream reflexively, but then covered his mouth. I smiled.
“The reaction adds to my conjecture.”
I stabbed it just in case. If it fits like this, it’s rather difficult.
When the Emperor of the Northern Empire released his spiders and purged the anti-war faction with such a tough line, and filled the place with those who followed him, even the nobles, unless they were idiots, could not sit still and suffer. If even an insect steps on it, it wriggles for me to live.
I thought the nobles would try to replace the old emperor, even if it didn’t kill him. However, I never thought that the method would be a hard line through weapons, not political means.
“This country’s capital will be very noisy in the future.”
“…Since when did you know?”
“Well, it’s because I’ve been through a lot of things myself. To name one of them, you’ve become a magistrate of the empire, and it doesn’t matter that I refer to the emperor roughly as if I were calling a passer-by. Don’t you usually point out take an example?”
Braim closed his mouth.
“I was too distracted.”
“Unexpectedly, you kindly admit it. I thought you would stretch out a little more.”
“If you and your master tell the emperor what to do, it will only make things more difficult. And…”
He looked me up and down and added a small comment.
“I thought you could communicate better than your teacher, who was like a doll killing him.”
“Hmm. Thank you for your generous evaluation, but what are you going to do now?”
“Did you say the missing thing was a sword?”
“yes.”
I was going to ask Master what the sword looked like. forgot it
Braim let out a sigh.
“Actually, as you saw earlier, I also don’t know the details of this incident. Still, I will use my authority to the fullest to retrieve the sword and hand it to you, so could you wait for a moment?”
I shook my head. Apart from whether he was upright, whether or not he could be trusted was another matter.
“I don’t like it. Haven’t you already fooled me and Master once? You cannot easily trust such a person.”
“Then what do you want me to do?”
“Guide me.”
“…guide?”
He smiled and patted Braim on the shoulder. Every time my hand touched, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
“Isn’t there a place you can guess when it comes to the Chief Peace Officer? A location where the organization you belong to might store things.”
“Do you think I will show you the place with this mouth? I would rather bite my tongue and die here than to teach you those places!!!”
Braim’s mouth opened and he really wanted to bite his tongue, so I quickly put my hand into his mouth.
aww
“Turn it off?!”
A few of Braim’s teeth that had dug into my flesh broke off. That would be the case, now that my finger bones are Immortalium. It was not something that weak human teeth could crush.
“You know what?”
“…”
“I even had a private conversation with the emperor yesterday.”
Although he was an emperor pretending to be a gardener in the Rose Palace.
“…?!”
“In fact, it’s also a position where you can have a private conversation with the emperor anytime you want.”
I added a little lie. After all, the emperor himself was not here anyway.
“So even if you bite your tongue and die here, nothing will be solved. At the moment of your death, I will have no choice but to tell the Emperor of this country what I have learned and receive a reward equal to the lost item. Do you know a little bit about your situation now?”
I patted his head and smiled.
“I’ve already been caught in a single shot. You’re in a position where I have to earnestly cling to you so that I don’t play one more game here. Oh, I will remove my hand.”
As I removed my hand from Braim’s mouth, he looked at me with devastated eyes. I smiled kindly and opened my mouth.
“What do you want? Would you trust me for once? Or will you doom your allies to predestined doom? Perhaps the first thing you will do is go through a terrible misfortune with the Chief of Police you serve.”
“…I can’t trust you.”
Almost passed.
“Then bite your tongue and kill yourself. I won’t stop you this time. However, as you saw earlier, my teacher and I are not the kind of people who conform to the system. I really don’t care a penny about who sits in the Emperor’s seat. So please choose wisely.”
third silence. He hung his head and hesitated for a while before finally opening his mouth.
“…I will guide you. It happened last night, so all the stolen goods should still be in one place.”
I lifted him up and smiled broadly.
“A very wise decision…”
Quaang!!!
A man broke through the wall of the commissioner’s office and fell to the floor. Then, a blue line pierced like a ray of light and pressed down on Soldos’ chest.
“Keugh… Damn it…”
Degururu.
The bounced stick rolls across the floor.
His face was completely bruised from how battered it was. Bruises and shallow cuts here and there. The white uniform he was wearing was also torn and dusty.
On the other hand, Master was in very good condition except for one light abrasion on one cheek.
Master is also hurt. That’s great. In my mind, I paid a little respect to Soldos, who was lying on the floor.
Master placed the sword around Soldos’ neck, brushed his hair with one hand, and looked down at Soldos with inorganic eyes.
“If you understand the subject, this will suffice. A child.”
The self-confident Soldos groaned in agony.
“Keugh…”
Master tapped Soldos on the cheek with the black surface. Each time the blade touched, the humiliation spread more vividly over Soldos’ expression.
“I didn’t save you because you were young and didn’t know anything. hey I finally responded to the kindness that the previous emperors of this country showed me.”
“…what the hell are you talking about!”
The blue sword disappeared into the scabbard once again. Master withdrew his sword and answered lightly.
“The reason why I didn’t hold you guilty on the day I destroyed the imperial palace is that the owner of the palace at the time, the former emperor, was the story. You were young and in a low position, so you probably didn’t know what was going on inside.”
