episode_0044

Cass began to interrogate the leader of the smugglers, whose face was covered in scars, whom he had marked.

“The name is Zach. Affiliated with the Redrug gang… .”

“You speak really slowly. Thanks to you, haven’t you already lost a limb? Now I can really see your level of shallow acting so that I can only tell the truth.”

“Big black!!!”

I cut it off with my sword and playfully tapped the guy’s left leg, which was lying on the floor, with my toe.

A leg that was cut cleanly from the upper thigh in one blow.

Divaela, a famous sword and holy relic, has not fully ‘awakened’ yet, but it is fiercer than a sharp butcher knife.

Thanks to this, the guy’s left foot was completely cut from his body with the sword and ejected in one go.

There was no way for him to do anything, he was left-footed starting today.

Obviously, if you suffered such a serious injury in the barbaric Middle Ages, you would have died immediately from blood loss and shock.

In this world, there is a truly amazing invention called potions, so if you can stop the bleeding like now, you can stop the bleeding.

However, the disability does not disappear.

Thanks to this, he was still able to survive by becoming a foot god.

“Is this information correct? hey! Are you trying to lie again? This time, the left fingers were confiscated.”

“Aaagh!!!”

With my left fingers, I cut off three pieces of weedwood at a time, as if cutting grass, and threw them into the sky.

Umm. That was a really clean cut. Knowledge of the destruction of human bodies began to increase rapidly.

Is the Heavenly Sword Star also a malefic star in some way? Actually, it is the star that governs the sword.

I felt the ingenuity of the Cheongeomseong and was able to torture him even more cruelly.

see. I can see the painful parts of his body.

So how dare you say something that doesn’t even work?

I made his whole body look like a frog in a dissecting room.

Understanding of the human body has grown rapidly.

By torturing the sloppy gangster in such a neat yet horrifying way, I was able to extract countless pieces of information I wanted.

Well, even I can’t stand it when people start showing off their talents.

But, you bastard. You don’t tell me the really important information until the end?

“Kwaaaa! Brother!!”

“Kruk! Wow!”

“Black!!! Let me tell you! So please stop tormenting my younger siblings!”

“If you keep talking back, your dying younger brothers will be rocket-shipped to the Nether Road right now. So, behave yourself well?”

Sometimes, when he closes his mouth like a turtle, I forcibly acquire important information from him by very painfully cutting off his close younger turtle brothers who were rolling around on the floor, moaning right next to him.

This is truly a wealth of information.

Was he more intelligent than he was when he was born? However, since his intelligence was low enough to be caught by me, his life was practically over.

I frantically covered the floors and walls of the back alleys with blood and, through torture, gathered every bit of information from the smugglers.

It may seem like a very cruel hand, but this was originally what interrogation was like in the uncivilized Middle Ages.

If you’re bullied, don’t attack, or on the contrary, win.

Because they did not understand the rights that the powerful had in the Middle Ages, it was right in the Middle Ages for the weak to be put to death for their ignorance.

The law is broken here, and human rights are trampled by social status.

Because I am strong and you are weak, you can be beaten. Surprisingly, it was a barbarian medieval fantasy that was true to some extent.

“Keuheuk!!! Now just kill it! There is nothing more to tell!”

“Oops! Our anatomy mannequin couldn’t take any more pain. Biting off your own tongue and cutting it out? Then the cut tongue gets rolled up and blocks the esophagus, right? With the help of information, we will make it to the end cleanly.”

I picked up Divaela and hit it hard on the floor.

Skunk!!! Jacques, the middle-ranking member of the Red Rug Gang, who was lying down and looking at me with a very hateful gaze, was decapitated by Divaella and left this world in an instant.

Fu shoot!!! Blood poured out from the large arteries in the neck that had been cut with a single knife, and clear, colorless spinal fluid began to flow from the cervical vertebrae that had been neatly severed.

I used the top-tier Create Water magic to clean Divaella, which had been slightly dirty from Zach’s beheading, and gently placed it in the scabbard.

I picked up some useless things today too.

“Cass. I killed the rest of the smugglers as well.”

“Bariel, you worked hard.”

I kicked their bodies to one place and gathered them up. And then whirr! He whistled loudly and shouted.

“These scoundrels! You suddenly attacked me! However, I, Cas Magdia, a student of Class S at Bemes Academy, had no choice but to counterattack and kill the opponent!”

I shouted in a theatrical tone and a heartbroken voice. I could see hundreds of poor people reacting to my words.

There were so many onlookers. Should I keep acting?

“However, the outcome of this fight was truly an inevitable act of self-defense! There will truly be God’s justice for me!!! So, people around you! On behalf of this poor person, I ask for these people’s funeral.”

I spoke loudly as if in a play and waved the emblem symbolizing my Bemes Academy S class.

I’m really attending Bemes Academy’s S class!

After that, dozens of golden bones were stuffed into the pockets of the bodies lying around.

It was money to be given to the poor and an offering to the dead.

I am very protected as a student of Class S at the Royal Academy, a member of a very powerful gang that is almost impossible to identify.

If I could show this level of mercy due to the intense social class differences of the Middle Ages, my honor could be preserved for the current massacre.

So let me end my honorable words and deeds,

Many poor people who had been secretly watching from afar as Bariel and I massacred the Red Lugg Gang suddenly started running towards the pile of corpses of the gangsters like a swarm of rats.

“We will see them off on their final journey!!! Honorable Gentleman Cass Magdia!”

“large. Please take care of me. The cost of the trouble was generously put into the pockets of those who were planning the funeral.”

“Yep! I will do as you are told!”

I watched the slum-style funeral while answering questions with the poor people.

Surprisingly, the corpses were stripped naked in an instant, and even their faces began to be mashed into unrecognizable forms.

In an instant, I looked at the corpses of about 30 Red Rug Gang members who had mysteriously started to turn into naked corpses.

After all, they are like the poor people of the uncivilized Middle Ages. Very rugged and strong. What a great final sendoff. You’re trustworthy.

I’m sure the Red Rug Gang could get angry and start massacring the poor, but who knows? What kind of pauper disposed of Redlug’s body? There were so many poor people in Vermina, the royal capital with over 400,000 people.

However, if a poor person or a gang member killed a random poor person to vent their anger, the nearby church might criticize them and the gang would collapse, so the gang had no choice but to set a small example and end it.

Besides, I’m proudly a very ‘protected’ Royal Academy special class student, so who’s afraid of the gang’s revenge now?

Therefore, if I were not to kill hundreds of poor people who secretly watched my massacre, I would have preferred to let them know about my honorable battle and handle the aftermath mercifully like now.

Even though he was my enemy, he even gave me dozens of dollars for funeral expenses?

This was a truly compassionate gentleman.

And this was the wonderful logic behind the medieval back alleys.

As expected, the Middle Ages are truly amazing!

“Perhaps because they are poor, they are really strong. Even if I get hurt, I would never go to the slums. It looks like it will just turn into a corpse.”

“Yes. The slums of Vermina are a place where it is difficult to find a body even if someone dies. Vermina says that competition has become more intense these days as the number of poor people has increased significantly.”

“It really feels like living hell.”

I muttered softly while looking at the poor people who were giggling and working hard to find corpse treasure.

The blood, intestines, and all kinds of human fluids from the corpses are crushed on the hands and feet of the poor.

The corpses had already been given a ghetto-style send-off and were becoming completely unrecognizable.

This was the real Middle Ages. Because we live in an age where it’s easy to just grab a person’s limbs and rip out the bubble wrap if you’re really angry.

It was a time when it was natural for witch hunts to be carried out in a cruel manner.

It really had a unique medieval atmosphere.

“But just as Jacques said, it seems like this drug is making the poor more cruel.”

“That’s right, Cass. Currently, the poor seem to be desperate for even the smallest amount of money to buy this drug called ‘Haphne’s Yawn’. To dispose of a corpse in such a horrendous manner… , No matter how good the money is. The future of the current Bemes Kingdom is truly very dark.”

I very carefully opened one of the bags full of white powder.

And the bag recovered from the Red Rug Gang contained a very powerful drug.

****

Hafne’s yawn.

Unlike its cute name, named after Hafne, the old god of sleep and rest,

The information about this drug that I heard while torturing Jacques, a middleman of the Red Rug Gang who was distributing this drug like crazy, was a terrible story.

This drug is said to be 10 times more addictive and effective than the highly addictive opium.

It was a very famous story about how the Qing Dynasty of China and Manchuria were destroyed with just opium.

It is a well-known story of how the Qing Dynasty, which lost to Britain in the Opium War, quickly fell and collapsed due to opium that was forcibly imported.

Just the white opium powder collected from the unripe fruit of the poppy was enough to destroy the great kingdom of the Qing Dynasty, but what on earth would the Kingdom of Bemes, with a population of over 10 million people, do to the ‘Yawn of the Harphne’, a ‘morphine’ class that is ten times stronger than opium?

This was the starting point of the train to hell.

Combining my personal calculations and the information given by Son Bai, if Hafne’s yawning spread like crazy to the lower class and the common people through the Promise Company and the Red Rug Gang as it is now, the working class of this country would have completely collapsed within five years.

Crazy bastards. How foolish are we in politics to not prevent dangerous substances like this? King Delmond and all high-ranking nobles were only suited for the guillotine.

“Even this Hafne’s yawn is excellent for weakening black magic resistance.”

Hafne’s yawn was dangerous enough to be briefly remembered in game knowledge.

Addicts who were weakened by black magic due to Hafne’s yawn could easily turn into zombies using black magic and cause a great zombie incident.

It’s a zombie apocalypse. There really is no such thing as hell.

If the resistance to dark magic is lowered by drugs and you immediately become a zombie, how do you treat it? There was no answer.

The early type of Hafne’s Yawn, which was the cause of the black zombie disease that occasionally exploded in the game and caused great casualties, was now in my hands.

I’m really crazy. These dangerous substances are spreading incredibly quickly in the Kingdom of Bemes?

I can’t believe it started becoming a trend even before I regained my gaming memories. This is a really shit country. If I had stayed at the academy until now, I might not have known anything even after a few months, right?

If I hadn’t pledged to preemptively eliminate future risks, I would have suddenly ended up playing a human-zombie game in the Kingdom of Bemes around the time I graduated from the academy.

Changing genres like this is not possible. The barbaric Middle Ages were better.

Fuck. It was a very tough task for an academy student. Solve the drug problem in the Kingdom of Bemes? What a great quest.

Wow, if Delmond continues to engage in foolish politics that can’t even catch Hafne’s yawn, this country will truly be ruined.

At a glance, the ‘extremely weakened dark magic resistance’ caused by Hafne’s yawn would only be seen as a symptom of a drug addict with a weakened body, so the average wizard and priest would just pass it off as being because they were drug addicts.

And at some point, too many addicts than expected will turn into black zombies using black magic, attacking barracks, churches, and magic towers, and zombies will cover much of the Bemes Kingdom.

This is shit. Was it one of the reasons for the omitted destruction of the Bemes Kingdom in the game?

I thought the kingdom would not suffer fatal damage if I just caught the ‘demon prince’ that I knew for sure.

There were certainly other deadly hazards. There had to be a quick revolution to oust King Wu before the Bemes Kingdom suddenly collapsed.

King Wu was no longer qualified to rule Bemes. He was literally a foolish king who had no ability to deal with the current crisis and future crises.

“So Mayness. What are the results of alchemical analysis of this dangerous Yawn of Hafne? I just think it’s a highly addictive drug that makes you vulnerable to dangerous black magic.”

“Cas! This hafne’s yawn seems to be a combination of opium powder, lime, and umami northern salt! In addition, I added additional magic ingredients using alchemy techniques to make it vulnerable to black magic!”

“Wait a minute, what? Northern salt, which is opium powder, lime, and ammonium chloride? Fuck, this is a morphine recipe!”

what? I thought it was addictive and medicinal like morphine, but Hafne’s yawn made me feel sleepy and extremely comfortable.

It’s a combination of opium + lime + ammonium chloride (northern salt), which is a combination of morphine, and magic ingredients that will lower black magic resistance?

Crazy, this was the black magic version of morphine.

I was truly very surprised to find out that the results of the compositional investigation of Hafne’s Yawn, which I had commissioned a few days ago, were the result of the efforts of Maynes and the elite alchemy students who were forcibly employed through threats and money.

We have to quickly deal with that double bitch who is the creator of Hafne’s yawn.

How dare you use morphine on a medieval subject? This year’s pharmaceutical talent was so outstanding. If I later discovered semi-synthesis to make heroin and that too with black magic heroin, I would never be able to control it.

So you must remove it now.

Fortunately, based on the information gathered while torturing Zach, my game knowledge, and Son Bai’s information, the conclusion has already been reached that the person who manages the Red Leg Gang and Hafne’s Yawn is ‘Acheka’, the alchemist of the secret society Five Fingers. It was.

This bitch is so talented. I definitely need to get rid of it. How dare you synthesize morphine on a medieval subject?

In this way, Aceka, another big game hunter, was spying on the Raivis caravan with a sloppy use of a gang of underlings, and was eventually robbed by me, who was following him, and on the contrary, the identity of the gang boss was quickly discovered.

Of course, Five Fingers. They are villains who can’t even trust each other’s information.

How can Havel’s Promise Sangdan and Acheka’s Red Lug monitor the Ryvis Grand Prize repeatedly?

Thanks to you, both of your social statuses have ended up on my radar, right?

This is really lucky. Just take the coordinates and you can eliminate them both.

Before time passes and you grow into strangers who are difficult to touch, I will absolutely destroy you first. I’ll just let you end up still a ‘human’.

Cass smiled brightly at the sudden rush of good fortune.
