69 – Darren Van Blumont

From Noble mtl dot com

All the members of the traveling team, including me, were gathered in the mansion’s reception room and trying to sleep.

The reason we decided to do this was to prevent any danger.

If there were any undead or monsters left in the mansion, it was obvious that a very difficult situation would arise.

I decided to take charge of monitoring the necromancer who was confined in a room far from the reception room.

There was also a method of alternate surveillance with Seiji.

After seeing Zeti counter-summon the spirit, I decided not to take the risk and decided to watch the necromancer all night.

He was a guy that made me feel disgusted just by looking at him.

Also, I felt like I was becoming more sensitive because I couldn’t sleep at all.

I haven’t been bored so far with the sunlight coming through the windows.

“Are you really not going to answer? I’m tired of hitting you now, so why don’t you stop answering? For you, for me.”

“I, let’s just say I don’t know… Tea, I’d rather give it to you…”

If I had known this would happen, I would have left a few teeth behind.

The necromancer with a swollen face and all his teeth had fallen out, and he was pleading with me in a pronunciation that I could not understand.

I felt sorry for him and began to persuade him again in a kind tone.

“No, you idiot. Did I ask something difficult? The current status and current location of the Chaos Church branch, the Seven Deadly Sins. They say they’ll stop hitting you if you tell me these two things, but why can’t you answer? “I really don’t understand.”

“Ah, ah, mi, mianae. But I really don’t know…”

“No. You know “I’m just not able to answer because I haven’t been hit yet.”

“Ugh, wow!”

“Huh?”

He was a funny guy. A guy who had endured so well all night could not believe he passed out after just a few slaps on the face.

“Tsk.”

Thought he was faking fainting, I clicked my tongue and stepped on his crotch again.

However, the feel of the soles of my feet was empty.

‘Ah, that’s right. It exploded earlier.’

Recalling the terrible sensation I felt for the first time earlier, I decided to stop tormenting the necromancer.

Anyway, I asked this guy everything I wanted to ask him, and I heard everything he could.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get anything out of that long conversation.

All I found out was the full story of how this guy revived Jetty and showed up earlier than expected.

“I’m tired…”

Maybe it’s because I stayed up all night, but my eyes are slowly starting to close.

“I never thought I would miss being pecked at by Tweet.”

I had to wake up early, but I didn’t have to stay up all night like I am now.

-“Mamma Tong! “It’s useful!”

-“Mating! Mating!”

Then, the chirping sound of a polymorphic tweeter suddenly came to mind.

I shake my head violently.

“Oh, no.”

I don’t miss it at all. After muttering that, I got up from my seat and opened the window to shake off the drowsiness.

What comes into view is a dense forest, a well-paved road, and a carriage running on top of it.

“I guess it’s Professor Zikel.”

It seemed like he had finished all his work and was returning to lead his team members.

“···Huh?”

I was thinking that, but when I saw the blue sun pattern drawn on the carriage, I had to tilt my head.

It was worth it. That blue sun was a symbol symbolizing the Bluemont family.

This is a fact I didn’t know. The fact that Zikel, who was thought to be an extra, was friendly with Darren Van Blumont, the former warrior’s porter.

****

Just as I expected.

The person who got off the carriage was Darren, the head of the Duke of Bluemont, and after hearing the whole story from below, he and Zikel opened the door where I was waiting and came in.

Short, light golden hair and jade-colored eyes.

Deren had a young and handsome appearance, as if to prove that he was Daisy’s father.

“Wow, who is this? Kane, was that you? Ha, ha ha!”

As soon as he came in, he saw the necromancer, patted him on both shoulders and laughed.

“Go in first. “Let’s share more about it later.”

Then, just by snapping his fingers, he created a sub-space the size of a person.

“···You had a hard time. “Let’s go back and finish the story.”

While Darren was inserting the necromancer into subspace, Zikel said that to me and walked out the door.

If you’re going to do that, why did you come in together?

“That’s what I said. “I asked if I wanted to talk to you just the two of you.”

Have you mastered mind reading? Darren smiled and offered his hand to me, who was tilting his head.

“It’s Darren. “Duke, Prince Iron Blood, I prefer a comfortable atmosphere rather than flattery, so you can act as cheesy as usual, as Jikel said.”

“···This is Camel. “I think Professor Zikel misunderstands me… I’d like to tell you that’s not the case.”

“Well, I thought so. “That friend, Jikel, has been amazing at gossiping behind his back since he was a cadet.”

“It was like that. Somehow···.”

“For some reason? Haha. You are a friend who is more powerful than I thought. Do you like it.”

As I hesitated, Darren patted me on both shoulders and smiled cheerfully.

I looked at it closely with my celestial eye.

‘It hadn’t fallen until this time…’

It was clear that there was no demonic energy visible in the image.

‘Well, it didn’t seem like Mort was completely corrupted either.’

It may be natural that Darren, who was said to have followed Mort into corruption, has not corrupted at this point.

“I heard the story. I heard you risked your life to save all the kids? Among them, there is a hero candidate, my daughter, Carol… no, there is also the daughter of the duke’s family.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“Yes, it was something that had to be done. But that doesn’t make what you’ve accomplished any small thing. “That’s why I’m saying this.”

“···?”

“Thank you. For saving those children. “You didn’t just save a few cadets, you saved this empire.”

Deren, who had a playful expression on his face, said with a rather serious expression.

“···That’s too much praise.”

“Too much praise is not enough, considering the number of people my friend in there killed. “If you feel like it, run to the emperor and praise him for your merits.”

“No. “That’s a bit burdensome.”

“Really? Then there is nothing we can do. By the way···.”

When I stopped talking with a straight face, Darren licked his lips and then started talking again.

“I don’t know if you’re cheap, but you’re definitely bold. “I see that you don’t feel intimidated by me at all.”

“I think you like this kind of atmosphere…”

“Yes, that’s right. Then, let’s talk a little more comfortably. She said it was Carmel, right? Do you know why I asked Zikelle to leave?”

“I don’t know…”

“It won’t work if you don’t know. “You’re hiding something from me.”

As Darren said that, his expression changed in an instant, and he began to raise his mana.

I had a doubt. Why is the porter who was thanking me just a moment ago suddenly acting like this?

‘Did you hear the story from Mort?’

When the accident reaches here, I start to get nervous.

If all goes well, I might have to fight to the death with Darren here.

“For example…”

Darren gave me a murderous look and continued his words.

“The fact that you seduced my lovely daughter, or that you made a contract, or that you were dealing with starlight.”

“···.”

“I’m not asking this to scold you, but because it’s a problem related to my daughter.”

“What happens if I avoid answering?”

“Maybe she will be beaten not by the Duke of Blumont, but by her father who lost his beautiful daughter?”

I was embarrassed. Darren seemed to have already figured out that Daisy and I had made a contract, but I didn’t want anyone else to know about this.

‘He’s going to fall anyway, so it’s better right here…’

I thought about that for a moment, but when I remembered Daisy’s face when she signed a contract with me, I shook my head and thought about it for a moment.

“Perhaps…”

Then, after coming to a better conclusion, I began to carefully open my lips.

“I don’t want to reveal this, but could you please keep it a secret?”

“Of course. “I won’t tell anyone.”

“This is rude, but how can I trust you, Darren?”

“I’ll do whatever you want. Well, should I at least write a contract?”

‘I got caught.’

Thinking like that, I immediately summoned the contract scale.

The condition is secrecy, and the price is life.

Deren, who had suddenly signed a contract with me based on trivial details, looked as if he was embarrassed.

“He was smarter than he looked.”

“I hope you do it carefully. Well, the reason I signed a contract with Daisy…”

With confidentiality guaranteed, I told Darren the truth.

“So…”

Was it a big shock? Darren began muttering in an incredulous tone.

“Even though you weren’t chosen by the stars, you know how to manipulate starlight, and you used that as bait to seduce my innocent daughter. “He seems like such a cruel and ruthless bastard… What on earth is going to happen to the world?”

“I have never seduced you…”

“I understand first of all. But I really want to tell you this one thing.”

“···?”

“Starting today, if there comes a moment when even a single tear comes from my daughter’s eyes… No matter what the reason or who it is. I will find you. “If I have to, I will kill you.”

As Darren said that, he looked at me fiercely.

“···.”

Not long ago, when I remembered Daisy, who was scared of me, falling into a delusion and shedding tears like chicken shit, I had to swallow dry saliva for no reason.

“Well, anyway, it was nice to meet you. “See you next time.”

I don’t really want to see it.

Deren patted my shoulder while I was thinking that and started to smile kindly again.

I felt strange. I was looking at the daily life of Darren, who appeared as a corrupt porter in the game.

“Can I ask one question?”

“What is it?”

“Are you by any chance in contact with the squadron warrior?”

So I asked him something, and Darren shook his head with a serious expression.

It was as expected. Because Mort is known to the world as being corrupt.

Even if Darren was really in contact, there was no way he would tell the truth.

Still, the reason I asked this.

“Then…”

It was to smoothly ask the next important question.
