111. Destroy the request for 100,000 gold.

“Ha! Aren’t you being too relaxed?”

The warrior came before me and made up his mind in advance. So he was leaning against the wall and closing his eyes.

But I didn’t do that. Even now, my whole body was filled with relaxation.

To be precise, I gained this kind of freedom after becoming a saint. As expected, people seemed to have composure coming from their strength.

I responded appropriately to the hero’s words. Originally, it would have been a fight. But maybe because I was in a good mood right now, I didn’t feel like fighting.

“Is the blood test that strong?”

The warrior’s eyes, which had been closed at my words, opened.

And he looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“You’re completely covered in the subject and you don’t even know that?”

“At that time, it was difficult to truly feel strength. What do you think?”

The warrior’s eyes widened slightly at my words. If it were my normal self, I would definitely have growled. But not now. So I was a little surprised.

Soon the warrior’s voice was heard. Unlike before, his voice became a little more serious.

“Hmm… strong.”

“How much?”

“About me?”

“Hoo.”

I nodded at his words. The pride the warrior usually had was great. But then he compared himself with the blood test. I could see how much blood tests were overvalued.

By the way, the duke didn’t show any change in expression at the warrior’s words. It seemed like I knew it in advance.

‘Well, I guess I made a plan like this because I knew that.’

Anyway, there was no need to have useless conversations with the warrior anymore.

Soon, several footsteps began to be heard. Nearly ten people were running into the dormitory.

Soon the warrior’s mouth opened.

“I guess it’s finally started.”

The warrior leaned his body against the wall. And then I started to warm up. I was starting to go into battle mode.

The duke also stood up.

His face was full of smiles. I didn’t hide it like before. I felt like my expectations were too high.

“Finally…!”

The Duke’s mouth opened, full of excitement.

And the door opened accordingly.

Rattling!

“Go, His Highness the Duke!!”

The duke’s men stormed in without any manners, unlike usual. It was the appearance that the duke usually disliked the most.

But the duke did not reprimand them.

Rather, he welcomed them with a generous smile.

“Did you finally succeed?”

His face was full of anticipation. The same was true for the warrior. My face gradually became colored with excitement.

Of course, I was also full of excitement. Because it was an opportunity to see their expectations shattered. So I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Soon the duke’s men spoke.

And the words that came out of their mouths were quite shocking.

“Si, Si, failed!”

“Sorry, sorry!”

Oh, it wasn’t that it was shocking to me. It was a shock to the duke. That too was a big shock.

The duke’s men bowed their heads with their faces turning pale. This was such a big deal.

Of course, the duke did not understand right away. It looked different from usual. I did it because it was such a ridiculous thing to say.

“Haha! What are you talking about? This is too much fun. I don’t like pranks like this.”

He was still smiling. It was not like he believed what his subordinates said at all.

But the subordinates were still serious.

“Now, this is no joke.”

“I really failed.”

And as they continued to speak, the duke’s expression began to harden. Only informal words came out of my mouth. This was what he looked like when he was angry.

“Failure… Failed?”

“That’s right.”

“Ha…! What kind of bullshit are you talking about?! Was it really that difficult to lead the excited protesters to the governor’s residence?!”

The duke’s anger made his subordinates begin to tremble like aspen trees.

“Well, that is…”

“ Suddenly, a dark wizard appears…”

“What are you talking about? Dark wizard? Why does that guy appear? And the whole thing got ruined because of that guy?! That’s nonsense!”

The duke also knew about the dark wizard. He was a very famous person in the back alleys. It was even weirder if someone as high as a duke didn’t know.

But it was also true that what the duke said was correct.

There was only one archmage. Although the Archmage was a great being, it was difficult for him to handle 10,000 citizens alone.

The number of 10,000 people was enormous.

“Well, that is…”

“Did he kill all the citizens?!”

“No.”

“Okay then! Did you block the road with great magic?!”

“Not even that.”

“Then, why on earth!! The plan failed!”

The Duke looked very frustrated. In fact, anyone would do that in this situation.

Soon the subordinates opened their mouths.

“Well, that… he suddenly spread the Black Death…”

“Well, it was really the Black Death. I confirmed that my body was turning pitch black.”

“What? Black Death?”

The duke’s face became perplexed at the mention of the Black Death. The Black Death was no ordinary problem.

“They really spread the Black Death?”

“Yes! We saw it clearly with our own eyes.”

“A person who really suffered from the Black Death appeared. Dozens of people were infected at once!”

In fact, the Black Death does not turn the entire body black like my magic does. But they were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even judge that.

I opened my mouth while looking at the duke’s men.

“Why did he spread the Black Death?”

I asked this on purpose even though I knew everything. Of course, it was done to give the duke a greater shock.

“Ah, that’s…”

The duke’s subordinates looked very confused at my sudden question. His face was full of trouble.

But it was in front of the duke and the warrior. The fact could not be hidden.

Soon their mouths opened and the truth was revealed.

“Insulting a guy who suddenly appeared… That’s right.”

“…….You insulted him?”

The duke made a face that said he did not understand.

I looked at him and asked more detailed questions.

“Who insulted you? You guys?”

Their expressions darkened at my words.

And when the Duke saw that, his expression also began to darken.

“Tell me… Did you really insult him?”

“That’s… Yes… To be exact, the kids under us were like that.”

“Ha…!!”

The duke laughed at those words. And he made an expression of disbelief.

In the end, the mistakes of his subordinates were also his fault.

Anyone who makes a plan had to consider all of these variables and make a plan.

Of course, I felt a little pitiful. This was because a very absurd variable occurred.

“Suddenly, a guy who looked like a great wizard appeared in the square, and while he was angry, he spread the Black Death… And because of that, the protest was canceled?”

At that moment, the duke’s eyes shook greatly. It looked as if he had received a huge shock.

I felt like I was greatly shocked by the unbelievable situation.

“Go, His Highness the Duke!!”

“Come to your senses!”

The sight of him was rather embarrassing to his subordinates.

‘Does this seem to cause quite a lot of damage?’

I glanced at the hero. Because I was also curious about his expression.

He didn’t look as shocked as the Duke. This was because, unlike the duke, he did not plan it himself.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was calm.

His face was full of absurdity and embarrassment. It seemed like he had never even thought of such a case.

“Ha! I wonder what this is…”

In any case, it was true that the plan itself was ruined. All the citizens who had already gathered dispersed.

Plus, I was hiding there out of fear. If this happens, it will be difficult to collect it again.

At that time, the warrior’s mouth opened again.

“Then how does the fight with the blood sword go?”

The hero looked at me instead of the duke. The duke has not yet come to his senses. That’s why he asked me.

I shook my head at the hero’s words.

“It would be correct to say it was cancelled.”

“What?”

“Listen to the sounds outside now. There is no chaos, just silence. What kind of surprise attack is this?”

“Ha! Fuck! I’ve calmed down since last night…!”

When protesters attacked the governor, it could no longer be seen as a protest. In fact, it was a rebellion. Of course, the Abyss members couldn’t stay still. It was clear that he would move to contact the Demon King.

‘But it won’t all move.’

All three will not move. Most likely, Nico, the leader, would stay still and the rest of the members would most likely move.

And all we had to do was surprise Nico who was alone. That’s why we were gathered in the dormitory. This was because Nico Doan was currently with his subordinates in the dormitory.

Of course, there was also a plan in case the three people moved at the same time. But that was only possible when Trier was in chaos.

In any case, the blood test issue could be seen as completely ruined.

At that time, the Duke came to his senses. As soon as he came to his senses, he gave orders to his subordinates.

“Contact the influential nobles of the noble faction immediately!”

“Yes?”

The subordinates could not properly understand the duke’s words.

But I could understand.

Soon a bit of tension appeared on my face.

‘Shall we continue? Or should I stop?’

The duke was able to revolt through pure aristocratic power without Trier. There was a weight class for that, and there was a reason. From my perspective, it seemed like there was about a 50% chance of success.

but…

“Tell them to stop their plans immediately!”

“Yes? Ah, I understand.”

“Move quickly!!”

Soon the duke’s men quickly left the room.

And the Duke sighed and leaned back on the sofa. He looked like he had been greatly shocked.

It was like that.

The Duke stopped the plan altogether. It was as if the rebellion itself had never happened.

I looked at the duke with an expression of surprise.

Obviously, if it were me, there was a high probability that I would have continued.

But the Duke wasn’t like that.

‘They said he was more cautious than the previous Duke… The rumors were true.’

Just knowing the duke’s tendencies could be said to be a huge profit. I nodded, putting this information into my memory.

Anyway, it was time to get out of here.

I wanted to see the duke and the warrior’s despair for longer, but that wasn’t good.

‘We need to get out quickly before they bring up the topic of 100,000 gold.’

Currently, I had received a request of 100,000 gold from the Duke in advance. I kept it very carefully in my pocket.

However, because the plan failed, this money became quite ambiguous.

‘So it’s true that you were on the duke’s side, even if only for a moment?’

Of course, accepting 100,000 gold for nothing could be seen as unconscionable(?).

But I was always like that when it came to money.

Plus, it was an opportunity to blow away the duke’s 100,000 gold.

Of course, I couldn’t return it to the duke.
