Chapter 58.1: Refrigon (3)
I heard it from among the knights and the soldiers who were lying on their sides next to me.
At the Tyrant’s remarks, the attendant beside him bowed her head at me in amazement.
Seeing this, Asher hesitated for a moment, and then bowed her head to the Tyrant.
I glanced at her and opened my mouth.
“I have something to do here for a while.”
“Really? If you’re coming here directly to the capital, you should have contacted me. Then I could have prepared a very grand welcome.”
He spoke in a friendly tone, as if he were dealing with an old friend.
Fortunately, he didn’t ask about the purpose of my visit.
With a smile on his lips, the Tyrant shifted his gaze to the knights and soldiers next to me.
“By the way, it looked like there was some sort of quarrel… What’s the situation with this?”
Their bodies trembled.
The knight turned to me and banged his head on the floor once more. Then he stammered in a voice terrified.
“Lord, I have committed a mortal sin. In ignorance, I did not dare to recognize someone as great as you. Please have mercy.”
I stared at him.
Then the Tyrant burst out laughing.
He narrowed his eyes and looked down at them with a smile.
“Yeah, well, somehow I saw some bug pulling their weapon at you, Seventh Lord. So, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes.”
Aww!
The eerie shattering sound and the knight’s body were separated into several parts.
Then, even the soldiers who were lying on their backs were mercilessly torn.
Red blood splattered and corpse fragments rolled across the floor. At the sight, Asher took a small breath.
“My apologies, Seventh Lord.”
As if expelling insects, he transformed the six of them into shredded pieces of meat with just one flick of his hand.
I sighed inwardly and looked at the man, who withdrew his hand indifferently.
Crazy guy…
Originally, I knew he was such a bastard, but when I saw it in front of my eyes, that fact was proven again.
A tragedy that happened in an instant on one side of the street.
But there were no screams from all around. Some of the passers-by lying on their backs covered their mouths and barely held their breath.
As if everyone knew well that with even the slightest breath, they would be the same as the corpses lying around.
“Uh, uh…”
Then there was a small sound from one side.
A young child could not stand the tears that came out of his mouth.
The woman who appeared to be the mother holding the child turned white. She covered his little mouth and hugged the child even tighter and prayed with an earnest voice.
“Sa, please save me. Please save me. Please…”
It is a scene that was difficult to watch.
I caught the attention of the Tyrant with my words when he just turned his head towards the woman.
“I’ll accept the Sixth Lord’s apology if you can do me a favor.”
The man turned his gaze to me again and tilted his head.
“A favor? What?”
“I want to take a slave from that prison cell.”
Ah… I didn’t really want to reveal my purpose to this guy.
I was in a hurry to find a story to turn his attention to, and this happened.
Anyway, since this was already the case, I would just ask for the guy and take him out of there.
He asked with an interesting look.
“Hey, did you come all the way here to save a slave? What kind of guy are you looking for? Why are you looking for it?”
It’s not good for him to be deeply interested in this.
I ignored the question and asked in the guise of indifference.
“Will you grant it?”
The guy who stared at me for a moment smiled and nodded his head softly.
“Then, of course, it’s not just anyone’s request. It’s yours. Take one slave or a hundred as you please.”
What?
He grinned as he looked over my shoulder at the arena.
“The game is in full swing right now. Please take a moment and watch it with me. How about it? Is that okay?”
“···”
I furrowed my brows silently.
What kind of bullshit was this suddenly?
