Chapter 97.1: Good Children (9)

Even if that knight is a demon, it doesnt matter. Were not asked to fight him, are we?

. . . . . .

We just need to bring out the magistrate.

The defense captain had no particular attachment to this city either. As Gurelic had said, the citys defense captains were usually of mercenary origin. They didnt bury their bones in the city just because they had been paid there for a long time.

If the city falls, just take the property and go somewhere else!

However, the Slovak Kingdom wanted the magistrate. In case of an emergency, they were to bring out the magistrate. The defense captain couldnt ignore that order.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

. . .

It was unexpected that the enemys vanguard could invade so boldly. Nor did they anticipate the others would betray them so quickly.

Anyway, there was only one thing to do now. They had to take the magistrate out somehow.

There were no other subordinates left, so they had no choice but to coax and persuade them.

According to the spy, the magistrate is confined in the mansion. He will stay there until the duke decides otherwise. Nobody expects him to be rescued from outside. Moreover, the guards are not that strong.

Starting with gold coins and up to fiefs, the mercenaries began to be tempted, forgetting their fears.

What does it matter if the opponent is a demon? If they dont meet him, they can make a fortune!

. . .Is that true?

Im with you guys in this. Its my life at stake too. Would I lie about such a thing?

The mercenaries nodded, their eyes shining at the defense captains words. If they could secretly whisk away the magistrate and escape the city, they could live lavishly in a town for the rest of their lives.

Books were precious and not widely circulated. They were not necessarily written in the Empires language. The monks who copied books in the monasteries also used the ancient imperial language.

Naturally, the books Johan had selected were written in the ancient imperial language.

Now that I think about it, does Repiata-gong know the ancient imperial language?

Just because one liked books didnt mean they knew the ancient imperial language. Books were held for their value and could be a symbol of dignity in themselves.

After all, the nobles could hire readers to read for them.

Well. . . It should be fine.

?

Even if he doesnt know, he wont admit it out of pride, will he?

. . . . . .

Is that sarcasm?

No. Its rare for nobles to treat a wizard like that. Normally, they are more. . .

Annoying? Arrogant?

I was going to say they act like a son of a b*tch, but thats not incorrect either.

Many thought court wizard Caenerna manipulated the Emperor for her gain, but she had her struggles.

For a wizard like her, the relationship with the employer was everything. A bad relationship meant life-threatening consequences for her subordinates.

Everything she did or didnt do was blamed on magic. Such was the nature of magic.

She had to make even the impossible seem at least feasible.

Nobles think magic can do anything. They think paying gold makes everything possible. Do you know what Cardirian wanted?

Not sure.

He wanted an elixir of youth, to make himself young and healthy again.

Caenerna scoffed as she spoke.

Is it possible?

I dont know. Whats certain is that I dont know how. . . Can you imagine how annoying it was to convince him?

Must have been terrible. Why serve such a master?

Because of the gold. Theyre all the same, so better serve the one with more money.

Johan nodded, finding the explanation oddly convincing. When he nodded in agreement, Caenerna looked astonished.

As Caenerna followed Johan, she stopped at the sight of an orc in the courtyard.

Wait. . . That orc.

What about it?

Its from the Alarhim family.

Orcs didnt believe in gods and were greedy for money. Kings and nobles despised orcs but always sought them when in need of money.

The Alarhim family was famously wealthy among orcs. Having such an orc was unusual.

Impressive to have such a companion. I dont know how it was managed. . . Ah. Of course, orcs are disrespectful non-believers.

Caenerna, admiring the scene, changed her tone, realizing Johan was beside her. It would be hard for a devout knight to appreciate such praise.

Wow. That persons family is so wealthy? Do you know how one can become friends with an orc?
