Episode 96

Chapter 19 Interest is compound interest (6)

They didn’t want to cause a lot of trouble, and if the security forces came running, they might have to turn their lives over to them.

‘That’s not nice.’

If someone else, especially a group, intervenes, I can’t investigate on my own.

I escaped from the black smoke and threw the two black neck memorabilia I was wearing around my waist to the scarred man.

“Ah!”

One of the memorizations, about the size of a finger or two, landed precisely on his wrist.

The other slipped past the head of the leather pouch.

Chewy.

I wonder if it was a sound that only I could see because of the noise around me.

The tip of the leather pouch torn in memorization snapped off and fell to the floor.

Check the items that have left the owner’s arms later.

‘Let’s bake it at once.’

If I give it time, I will use the magic stone again, so I thought it would be better to just tie all my limbs together before that.

Pajijik-!

After releasing about half of the elemental magic, sparks spread to a radius of 10m.

Most of the guys in that radius were electrocuted.

The less fortunate seemed to have died instantly from shock.

The smoke and smell that spreads as the flesh ripens, no matter how many times you go through it, you don’t get used to it.

“Tsk.”

To die just by materializing mana.

It was the moment when he realized that humans are extremely weak creatures compared to monsters.

As I clicked my tongue inside, I passed between the people who were electrocuted, and approached the scar.

Perhaps it was because he was far away from me, he was moving while babbling.

It is imaginary to crawl away from me somehow with a hand pierced by memorization.

It seemed like there was no need to worry about it because it was almost in place.

As he struggled, I picked up a leather bag that had fallen to the floor.

Just in case, I took a sneak peek inside, and as expected.

“Wheeik.”

A whistle came out of nowhere. Because there were quite a lot of colorful stones in it.

‘Are these all magic stones?’

Unknowingly, a smile was drawn on my lips at the unexpected harvest.

In case I lost it, I hurriedly stuffed it into the locker.

I was worried about what would happen if I didn’t go in because there were a lot of things I had put in before, but fortunately I did.

Now that the loot has been taken, it’s time to interrogate the prisoners.

“Stop moving.”

I couldn’t let go of my lingering feelings and stepped on the waist of the scarred man who was still struggling.

Then he lowered his stance and sat down, making eye contact with him.

“I still have room, do you have any more cards left?”

“Aww… … .”

I pinched what he said before using the magic stone, but there was no reaction.

“If you have it, use it quickly, save it and become sh*t.”

I scratched my nerves one more time, but the same.

Maybe because of the aftermath of the electric shock, I can’t hear what I’m saying.

He swung his arm with scars and stumbled forward.

Seeing her face buried in the muddy ground and not even moving, it seemed that she passed out because she couldn’t stand it.

Fearing that he would suffocate and die, he turned himself over.

I looked around, but there was no one in good shape.

There were those who fainted like a scarred man, as well as those who convulsed.

Among them, there were a few whose chests did not tremble. probably dead

I don’t feel guilty that the people who drew swords at me died, but I did feel alarmed.

‘I’ll have to be careful when using it against ordinary people.’

It’s natural for normal people to suffer a threat to their lives when struck by lightning, but they can’t think of that.

It wasn’t a very pleasant feeling to realize that I was far away from the standard of the ordinary.

It took a while to look at the scarred man with wrinkled eyebrows.

I grabbed some of the thugs’ ropes and started tying them up.

* * *

“Hey, how long are you going to sleep?”

slap slap.

“Big, cool!”

The impact felt on the cheek woke Ladriole from her submerged consciousness.

An unpleasant sensation, as if being forcibly grabbed by the collar and being dragged upward.

At the end of it, Ladriol coughed up blood along with a small cough and struggled to lift his heavy eyelids.

For a moment, I was taken aback by the misty vision like a foggy window.

Ladriole tried to be aware of the situation somehow even in the middle of a daze.

Thanks to this, I was able to quickly spot the stranger squatting in front of me.

Brown-colored pupils with no special features.

A blue light seemed to rise in it for a moment and then subside.

It was something that passed by so quickly that I wondered if it was an illusion.

Why can’t I move my body easily?

While the ladriole was frozen, the stranger who was looking down at him muttered, clicking his tongue.

“I would have slept all day if I had left.”

Anyway, the upper heads, the stranger, who added a short comment, stood up and stepped back.

At that moment, he looked around and saw that all of his men were on their knees.

Of course, it wasn’t their will.

I had no choice but to sit like that because my hands and feet were all tied behind my back and tied with a rope.

Ladriole was in the same situation as them.

The difference is that he was lying on the floor because he was unconscious.

When he was frozen at the unexpected scene, the stranger kicked his leg and said.

“What are you doing? Get up quickly.”

It was clear what he meant by pointing at his subordinates with his chin.

He remembered what Ladriole had been through right before he passed out, frightened to grasp the situation.

A blue light seemed to flash, but all of his subordinates as well as himself were electrocuted and fell down.

When I remembered what had happened at the time, my teeth gnashed.

‘I didn’t say it was a lightning type!’

There was no mention of attribute magic in the information provided by the client.

It was all about the external characteristics of the target, the stranger, and the fact that he had a palao pattern on his head.

If he had known that the target was a possessor of lightning-type magic, he would not have accepted this request.

Ladriole, who had already looked at the spilled water devastated, gritted her teeth and wriggled.

It was a struggle to get up somehow with both hands and feet tied behind the back.

‘I have to get up.’

I couldn’t put it off any longer because I could feel the tired eyes watching him.

The stranger, who had lined up his men to kneel, was sitting across from them, staring at Ladriole.

It didn’t matter too much that the chair he was sitting on was one of Ladriole’s men.

What is important to Ladriole right now is that the stranger is urging him with a calm and persistent gaze.

Ladriole managed to get himself up, even hitting his face in the mud.

As soon as he knelt down like his subordinates, the gaze of the stranger who was watching him fell away.

“Tsk, slow.”

Of course, I clicked my tongue as if it wasn’t right and muttered a little.

Still, somehow he avoided the cold eyes.

Ladriole secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Even so, he glanced at the stranger.

“Aren’t you straight? You keep shaking.”

He was annoyed by hitting the back of the head of a subordinate who was sitting on a chair.

Ladriole’s subordinate, who was resting on his nerves, straightened the back of the stranger sitting on it.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if we did well from the beginning? Make sure you say one thing.”

The stranger, who clicked his tongue repeatedly, scanned the people lined up in a row with his eyes.

Every time his gaze met, everyone shook their shoulders or lowered their heads more.

Looking closely, three or four of his subordinates had black bruises on their faces.

In addition to that, the flesh around the lips and eyes were torn and blood was flowing.

Ladriole recalled the situation right before he passed out.

There were armed clashes with strangers, but nothing left a trace of bruises like that.

Because both sides wielded blades.

So what that wound meant was simple.

‘It must have been beaten while I was passing out.’

Looking at it, the face of the guy who was acting as the stranger’s chair was the most messed up.

It was a trace of a fan who was very determined and beat with the mindset of making dust on a rainy day.

It was a moment when he understood the actions of his highly nervous subordinates.

However, apart from understanding this situation, I also thought it was strange.

‘The skills of strangers must be there.’

Most of them are at the level of soldiers who are put into the contaminated area.

Some of them even use magical powers like knights.

But even that wasn’t great.

Because it was all about materializing mana just like the seeds.

The ratio of soldiers and knights in this world was similar to the total number of strangers.

So, there was nothing that made this request easy.

I thought it would be easy to catch them if I pushed them with numbers and used hallucination magic.

But why did this happen?

‘These guys are all the ones who rolled and rolled under me.’

Human trafficking, deportation to a polluted place, to think that those who have built up their skills while living a rough life are crushed by a stranger.

It was strange that he didn’t lose simply because of attribute magic.

Even before the stranger used magic, his subordinates couldn’t even brush his collar.

As if dealing with a regular knight.

“So what?”

Ladriole’s thoughts did not last long.

Because the stranger who had only been looking at them quietly opened his mouth again.

“Yes, yes?”

Since the others kept their mouths shut and paid attention, Ladriole, who answered coldly, swallowed dryly.

“Tell me who did it.”

“Mo, I don’t know!”

I was really honest with the thought that if I did something wrong, I could die.

Weren’t the bodies of the dead already laid neatly on one side?

Ladriole was not so foolish as to cling to something that had already failed.

“Whoa.”

But the stranger closed his eyes and let out a sigh, it felt cheap.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to say it all at once.”

The stranger muttered a low voice and rose from his seat.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“yes?”

“Don’t worry too much because you’ll remember when you see it right.”

Ladriole’s heart became impatient at the stranger’s action as he turned his shoulders as if to warm up.

“We really don’t even know what comes in through the guild!”

So I hurriedly told everything.

There is no way to know the client for the work that comes in through the guild.

The down payment and the completion payment are also exchanged between the guilds in the middle.

This time too, if the stranger was caught, someone from the guild would come out and take him.

Ladriole explained what he knew with all his heart and soul.

Did his earnest sincerity reach him?

“Guild? what is that?”

The stranger sat down again and asked.

For convenience, the predecessor of a group called a guild was a mercenary guild.

It was a place that not only managed the mercenaries who registered their identities with the guild, but also acted as a kind of middleman connecting the mercenaries with the client.

However, as the war dragged on and more than 80% of subhumans across the continent had died, the number of mercenaries sent to the frontlines had to decrease.

As a result, it was only natural that the mercenary guild’s income, which had been collecting commissions and arranging requests, decreased.

That’s why they are also involved in dirty work, and one of them is human trafficking.

There are teams dedicated to kidnapping, like Ladriole and his men, while others buy children from their parents for a bargain.

Everyone in the know knew about it, but it was not easy to touch the mercenary guild because of the ever-increasing number of monsters in the contaminated area.

I also have to kill the monsters that gather in hills and remote places other than strategic points.

The monsters gathered in the former could be taken on by the Resistance, but the latter tended to rely more heavily on mercenaries.

Because of that, until now, even the resistance fighters tended to ignore the guild’s criminal activities.

Ladriole once again confessed everything he knew.

“Huh… … You mean that?”

At that, the stranger folded his arms and was lost in thought. And then to the point where they were sitting cross-legged.

Ladriole held her breath as she stared at the stranger’s legs as they moved in front of her eyes.

The words that will come out of his mouth will decide his fate.

“Then there is nothing you can do.”

Right after the sound of ladriole swallowing saliva resounded openly.

The stranger who jumped up from his seat released Ladriole and his subordinates and said.

“Come on, tie it up quickly.”

Ladriole looked up at the stranger with a stupid expression, wondering what this meant.

Then, the stranger kindly added an explanation.

“You said you didn’t even know who the client was? Then I have no choice but to meet him in person.”

Over the bewildered group of ladrioles, the stranger held out the rope and repeated the same words.

“What are you doing? Come on, don’t tie it up. Hurry up because we don’t have time to waste like this.”

He urged Ladriole and his men by clapping and clapping as if to attract attention.
