How To Live as a Scammer in the Game

73. All you have to do is hit it right

mana charging.

Storing as much mana in the jewels attached to the necklace as the mana I have.

This was the ability of the mana necklace.

Actually, I’m not the type to use mana that much.

Also, since this wasn’t an item that was usually hard to find, it was honest to me that I gave up halfway.

But this time, I felt it while being attacked by Orhel’s double mind.

‘I should have at least one insurance.’

Because my life is precious

It is said that it has become much stronger than before, but in reality, there are always variables.

Originally, the difference between a master and a lower class was to reduce such variables as much as possible or not.

And I was gradually reducing the variables.

‘In this treasure trove, there is no better option than this!’

“You have quite a few eyes.”

Marzio III also seemed to acknowledge my choice.

When I saw the mana necklace I had picked out, I saw a slightly surprised face passing by.

“To find that treasure with just a cursory glance…”

I hadn’t skimmed it.

This is exactly what I was looking for.

In any case, even from the point of view of him, who had a keen eye for this treasure trove, it seemed that there was no such option.

“The former king said that he received it as a reward for saving the life of an elf. It’s an item containing the magic of an elf… No matter where you search in the royal family, you won’t find anything like that.”

Ah…this must have been something with such a background.

In the original work, there was no one to explain, so there was no way to know.

‘What. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have paid much attention.’

anyway.

‘Cause I got what I wanted

I had to think of

And Marzio III seemed to have the same idea as me.

“Earl Harrison…what are you planning to do?”

“Let’s hold off on cutting the throat right now… the key is probably how to entice the information out.”

“I see. However, if he’s working for the Vampire Lord, I don’t think something will come out easily. He’s a human too, so he seems to have made a mistake this time… but he’s not that lax.”

“If that’s the case, you should pretend you don’t know for now.

Marzio III crossed his arms and nodded.

“Let’s wait until they make a mistake over there?”

“It will definitely come out once.

“Then another mistake will come.”

Is it because he is also in the position of king?

Certainly, even without lengthy explanations, I read the strategy right away.

“Accurate.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“It’s my opinion…but I think he’s also involved in the affairs of the three princes.”

“That’s true. Count Harrison could have contacted the child at any time. And I understand the significance of waiting all this time and finally telling him that to me.”

He looked at me with an admiring expression.

“I can only say great. A way to separate Count Harrison, who is always by my side… To think of using the royal treasury for that. Was it?…”

……not really?……

This is what happened because I just did it.

How would you design all of this from scratch?

To be honest, it became a bit ambiguous to say that I was caught.

So I roughly skipped the word.

“Let me stab him first.”

“How do you mean? Looking at the situation so far, I couldn’t see anything plausible…”

“No need to worry. I already have an idea to shake him up.”

“……Is there such a thing?”

I grinned at Marzio III.

“You just need to hit the right pitch.”

Redea, the dimension-slicing witch who was an ally of Drettnor.

I was going to borrow that name and use it.

Marzio III and I returned to the study again.

However, when the door to the study is opened, only Diaz and Andrew remain.

Count Harrison was nowhere to be seen.

I asked, pointing to the seat where he was sitting.

“What’s going on?”

Diaz replied by stroking Pico on his lap.

“Ah. He heard a briefing on the damage situation in the palace and came. He said it wouldn’t take long.”

“I see. Did you have any conversations while we were away?”

I wondered if there was a variable in the opening operation, so I checked.

But Diaz shook his head.

“The two of them disappeared almost immediately after they left.

“Yeah? That’s great.”

“Yes? What…?”

“From now on, Earl Harrison is designated as an enemy.”

“Oh, are you saying that all of a sudden?”

Diaz and Andrew looked at me and at Marzio III as if asking what was going on.

That’s also true, from their point of view, they said they went to the royal treasury, but when they come back, they suddenly say something like this, so it will look strange.

It wasn’t something I didn’t understand.

But there was no time for a long explanation.

That’s because my sensors picked up the sound of footsteps approaching me.

It was most likely Earl Harrison.

I raised my finger and placed it on my lips.

A gesture to be quiet.

Diaz and Andrew rolled their eyes and looked at each other.

He looked at me again and nodded his head with his mouth shut.

Originally, in a situation like this, all but one that had to be soaked had to be in one barrel.

Those two had no doubts.

Still, I need to get my words right…

right after that.

profit.

The door of the library opens.

“Ah, Your Highness. Are you back already?”

“Well.”

“I wonder what Lord Rohan chose. What? It’s…! A mana necklace?”

“That’s right.”

“You have a good eye.”

Count Harrison seemed to know what this was.

It was definitely the aspect of the closest aide to the royal family.

‘Yes…you know the riches of the royal family, right?’

So, I decided to try to connect the fact that Count Harrison is fastidious about the royal family’s wealth with Ledeia.”

He naturally turned his gaze to Diaz.

operation has begun.

“Diaz. Come to think of it, didn’t the witch Ledea say something like that? The royal family of Hesete will soon fall into their hands.”

To my words, Diaz immediately gave a clear answer.

“Yes. I definitely remember saying that.”

“It’s something that doesn’t fade from my memory.”

In addition, they began to play against each other until Marzio III.

“You said that? A witch? That’s something you can’t ignore.”

I now turned my gaze to Count Harrison.

“Sir Harrison.”

“No, tell me.”

“Can you guess what the witch had in mind when she said that?”

Count Harrison should have known.

That Ledea is working with Drettnor.

He would also be a subordinate of the Vampire Lord.

So, you will listen to me more faithfully.

If it was Ledea, it would be enough to say such a thing.

So he would have to pretend that he didn’t know what he knew.

“You dare to insult the royal family, I am very offended. Your Highness! I will investigate all suspicious persons immediately!”

Ohh.

It comes out like this, right?

It was Earl Harrison who had put up a pretty good move.

If things went on like that, I would naturally be able to get out of the dragon’s ship.

So, I showed off the tongue dribble that I learned during my social life in earnest.

“That’s a good idea. Count Harrison is a trustworthy person, so I think it’s good enough to leave it to him.”

Let me look at Marzio III and say that.

Marzio III was very embarrassed.

Even so, I tried my best to agree with my words.

“That, is that so? If that’s how you see it… well, there’s no one more trustworthy than Sir Harrison.”

My acting skills are a little more disappointing than I thought.

However, Count Harrison, who thought he had passed the dangerous situation for now, didn’t seem to notice.

With the king even sympathizing with it, Count Harrison’s momentum rose even more.

“In my name, I will complete this task!”

Marzio III’s eyes glanced at me.

To that, I nodded my head very slightly.

‘Let’s watch for a bit. How does it come out…’

He, too, responded by blinking slowly.

‘Not like that.’

Marzio III looked back at Count Harrison.

“I’ll leave this one up to you too, Sir Harrison.”

“I will do my best!”

Marzio III believed in me and honestly pushed ahead with the plan he had initially set up.

A few days later.

After receiving an urgent call from Marzio III, I came to visit the palace again.

But there, something very interesting was happening.

Interestingly, Count Harrison had arrested someone as a criminal.

It was clearly visible.

‘I’ve caught an innocent human who has nothing to do with it.’

In fact, he was doing an eupso.

“Your Highness! It’s unfair! I’ve never done anything wrong! This is slander!”

“Shut up, you bastard! The sin of daring to overthrow the royal family and overthrow the kingdom! You can never stand by!”

“Haaagh! No! It never happened!”

Count Harrison turned around.

They approached me and King Marzio III.

“Your Highness! My subordinates searched the criminal’s residence and found several evidences.”

“Evidence? Can Gwain directly verify it?”

“Yes. Hello! Take the evidence!”

At his signal, his servants appeared in droves with evidence placed one by one in their hands.

‘I prepared pretty hard.’

I was inwardly amazed at his amazing readiness.

They brought only things that only those related to the actual Vampire Lord could find out.

“Your Highness! By all means I don’t know these things! Really!”

The one who knelt down had tears in his eyes.

I didn’t see what was going on, but it was good to my eyes.

‘He insists that he found the things he had in the author’s house.’

I carefully examined the evidence.

at that time.

One object caught my attention.

‘What? This is… this is, wait a minute…!’

Meanwhile, Count Harrison asked Marzio III for a decision.

“Your Highness! I beg you to slit the head of this thug!”

“It’s unfair, Your Highness!”

I could feel Marzio III’s gaze slightly moving towards me.

I looked at him and nodded softly.

“No way… did you find out something?”

To his question, I answered with a smile.

sh*t.

The corner of Marzio III’s mouth went up as well.

Now was the beginning of the counterattack.
