106. How to thwart the duke’s plot.

After explaining the plan, the duke went out of the house with his men.

He said he would send the 100,000 gold within tonight. It was definitely big.

I was lost in thought as I watched the duke leave.

‘If this continues, Blood Sword will definitely die.’

The hero and I were conducting a surprise attack together. Even a blood sword couldn’t withstand it.

However, the duke gained nothing from this.

‘The Duke is the one who is more like a snake than anyone else. But you’re only satisfied with revenge?’

It didn’t make sense. The Duke spent 100,000 gold for this plan. It was too much money to spend just for revenge.

‘There’s definitely something there. It’s also something huge…’

My intuition was speaking. This was no ordinary plan.

First of all, the mass protests in Trier were unusual.

If the Duke’s plan goes as planned, more than 10,000 citizens will gather. In the Middle Ages, a protest of that magnitude was practically a rebellion.

‘for a moment? ‘Rebellion?’

Then, a thought came into my head.

Now the duke was fully capable of causing a rebellion. It was because of the king’s mistake. Even if you use that as an excuse to start a rebellion, there will be many nobles who will follow you.

But what if Trier is included?

‘Trier is a royal territory. Plus, it’s the biggest in the kingdom.’

Trier was one size larger than the capital. In addition, its population and economic power were among the largest in the world.

And what if the duke gets his hands on such a Trier?

‘Then the chances of the rebellion succeeding will be greatly increased.’

The citizens of Trier had a great deal of hatred for the King of Aachen. It was because of the previous lockdown policy. In fact, many people died of starvation due to the blockade.

Moreover, the governor who was supposed to rule Trier even ran away.

‘If I were the duke, I would take advantage of this point. So I’ll get Trier.’

It was a method that would normally be impossible. However, the story was different in the civil war situation.

I admired the Duke.

Is he really the head of the noble faction?

While I was only interested in the Academy, he planned to target the entire kingdom. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

However, admiration is admiration, and the current situation was not very good for me.

No, it was very bad.

This was because the duke was now trying to break the board itself.

Surprisingly, a huge civil war was breaking out in the kingdom. Of course, the Academy will also be discontinued. Moreover, it was obvious that research to get to Earth would also be halted.

Simply put, it meant that the date of the ticket to Earth would be delayed by several years.

No, it could have been canceled altogether. Otherwise, there was a high possibility that someone close to the duke would have the ticket.

Anyway, it was like the worst situation for me.

‘Whew, it was a good thing I participated in the duke’s operation.’

I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t heard him explain the plan. I was really fortunate.

Anyway, this was not the time.

I quickly started to think of a solution.

‘We must stop the protests first.’

Everything starts from this large-scale protest.

More than 10,000 angry people gathered. In fact, there was no way to do anything once they got together.

Of course, Trier’s own force was not an option.

‘Then, we will request support from the kingdom… and it will be a rebellion.’

The citizens of Trier will have no choice but to participate in the rebellion if only to survive.

‘for a moment.’

At that time, a thought came into my head.

What if I receive a request from the Duke and assassinate the Blood Sword?

And what if the duke advertises it on a large scale?

‘You will be firmly on the duke’s side. ‘You end up joining the rebels.’

Even if I don’t, everyone will be on the duke’s side. Then I had to join the rebellion just to survive.

The more I thought about it, the scarier it was.

“Tsu-eup, we need to stop protests to stop the plan…”

It was then.

“Are you joining hands with the duke?”

“Are you okay?”

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice right in front of me.

They were a saint and an elf princess.

It seemed like he was hiding and listening to what the Duke and I were saying.

“Ah, it’s okay. I’ll take care of everything.”

“Chet. Please get a little help from us.”

“That’s right. Don’t try to solve everything on your own.”

I felt reassured just by hearing those words.

I gave them both a deep smile. And for the first time, he made a flattering comment.

“Thank you. You don’t know how much strength I gain from these two.”

“Oh my!

“Really?”

“Then.”

They both smiled brightly at my words. For a moment, it felt like the house became brighter.

Soon the two approached me.

And at the same time, he hugged me tightly.

“You’re probably busy, so I’ll hold off on kissing you. Instead, please let me stay like this for a moment.”

“That’s right. This is also good in its own way.”

“Thank you. Both.”

I felt the warmth of the two and smiled happily.

No matter how great the Duke’s plan was, I was not alone. Before I knew it, I had valuable people helping me.

‘Okay, let’s get help from other people this time.’

Probably, it will be difficult to stop the protests themselves. This was because the citizens were already full of anger toward the king.

Rumors have already spread that Abyss has entered the Royal Academy. Probably, there will not be many citizens of Trier who will quietly tolerate this rumor.

But it was okay.

‘Okay, shall we get help from the back alley this time?’

Before I knew it, a plan began to form in my head.

Is it because of the two beings who are hugging me tightly?

Strangely, I felt like my head was working better.

“I like it. Jace.”

“Oh! I buy, buy, love you!”

“Me too.”

***

It’s been a while since I visited the back alley.

“Oh my! brother! How about some time with me?”

“How about playing with me? I am confident that I will make it amazing! I’ll cover your entire body with my saliva!”

“I can use all the holes!”

The back alleys were full of prostitutes. And they actively solicited customers.

It was as if we had gone back to the past.

In fact, not all of Trier’s underground world was restored. That’s why they suffered so severe damage.

However, it was also true that he was recovering quickly.

‘There are probably many people who indulge in pleasure to forget their pain.’

I nodded and walked past the prostitutes. Of course, I could see that there was no time to play with them.

“Tch, it’s tricky.”

“It’s a shame. Just by looking at the robe, he looked like he had a lot of money…”

“Oh! There guests! How about a round with me?”

I moved quickly, leaving behind the voices of the prostitutes.

Today I had a place to visit for the first time in a long time.

However, I deliberately walked to understand the situation in the back alleys of Trier.

And this seemed to be pretty good.

After a while.

I moved underground.

To be precise, we arrived at a village that exists underground. It had been a long time since I visited the Thieves Guild.

“Oh, are you here?!”

“Uh, dark wizard…!”

“Sa, please save me!!”

As soon as they saw me, they started shaking like aspen trees.

Of course, it was worth it.

It was because they hadn’t deposited a single penny of money to me recently.

“There was a reason for everything!”

“That’s right! A plague broke out in Trier…!”

They desperately begged me. There were few people who knew my skills as well as they did. That’s why it looked like this.

Anyway, I was a little worried about their appearance.

Of course I was planning on watching them. It was not because he did not know the situation.

But a good idea occurred to me.

I lightly raised my hand.

Then a tremendous pressure arose and everyone began to kneel.

dump.

dump.

“Gasp…!”

“What is this…!”

“Keuuu…!”

Currently, there were close to a hundred people in front of me. But then all of them suddenly began to kneel.

It didn’t really create any momentum. I was just testing out a new spell.

‘Good.’

It was gravity magic, an advanced magic I learned from my teacher this time.

Anyway, thanks to the new advanced magic, everyone looked at me with fearful eyes. It was because he looked like an archmage to anyone who saw him.

“Hmm, did you break your promise to me?”

“Oh, no! It’s all because of the disease…!”

“Ma, that’s right! Please forgive me just once!”

I acted like I was worried about their appearance for a moment. That’s right, it wasn’t like a dark wizard to forgive them.

After thinking about it for about a minute, I nodded.

“Good. Please forgive me.”

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. Instead, you should help me a little.”

Their faces turned white at my words. And there was a reason for everything.

“There’s no way you’re trying to conduct human experiments on us…!”

Obviously, I’ve never done anything like human experimentation. But I don’t know how such a rumor spread.

“Ha, you must know that I am not a member of the Abyss, right?”

I had a fight with an Abyss member at a gambling house the other day. And rumors about him had already spread in the back alleys.

Still, they were afraid of me. I didn’t understand it at all.

“Sorry, sorry!”

“Yo, forgive me…!!”

I think it was because of his nickname, the dark wizard.

I sighed and opened my mouth.

“It’s not like that. I just wanted to make a light request. Is there anyone here who is good at acting?”

“Yes? Do you mean acting?”

“Woman, Tom is pretty good at acting…”

“Um, you mean me? no. Brother Jack is much better!”

Everyone gave each other a boost at my words. Thanks to this, it was easy to choose.

“There, Tom and Jack, both of you can come out here. And is there anyone else you can recommend?”

The two came forward with shit-chewing expressions. And as if he couldn’t die alone, he started recommending several people.

“Ah! Thompson is good too!”

“My, when will I!”

“And there’s Hans!”

“Oh, no!!”

Soon people gathered. I smiled happily as I looked at the 10 people. It was easier to collect than I thought.

“Ten of you are coming with me. Follow me.”

“Yes…”

“Oh, I understand.”

“Please save your life…”

Everyone started to cry and follow me. It seemed like there was still a misunderstanding.

Anyway, when I came down to the basement, there was someone who suddenly came to mind.

‘Since we’ve come this far, shall we take a look at the magic cigarette situation?’

I haven’t looked into the magic tobacco cultivation situation for a while. It was because there was too much to do.

I asked a question to a man named Tom.

“Hey, isn’t there Robin here?”

“Ah, do you mean Robin, the King of Farming?”

“Farming King?”
