The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

“You are a little late.”

When I arrived below, Veroa, a beautiful woman with sleepy eyes, gently opened her eyes and looked at me.

“I’m busy with work.”

The request period was one month, but as I went around unexpectedly, it was a little late.

“I have gathered up-to-date information thinking that customers will definitely come. So the price went up a bit…”

Laughing at her words, I sat down on the chair opposite and spilled gold coins on the table. Her dark face was stained with bewilderment at the sight of a golden light.

“All that remains is money. Bring all the information.”

set a trap

“Wow, hot things haven’t changed.”

Veroa swallowed his saliva as he watched the gold coins spilled on the table. Still, because she was the branch manager, she immediately took her eyes off the gold coin and came to her senses.

“okay? Then, besides having a lot of money, there was one more advantage to me. hot stuff.”

“ah…”

Veroa slightly opened her red lips and made a puzzled expression.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Although she has regained her outwardly calm expression, she seems to be quite flustered with me, just like when she came before.

It must have been a completely different encounter from what she expected.

“Enough of the rubbish, let’s get right to the point.”

“All right. Which information would you like to receive first?”

Veroa took a light breath and opened his mouth.

“There are three types of information requested. The first is a request to find a swordsmanship or chess book whose author is Carbol, and the second is information about Count Karens, Baron Povian, Baron Irian, and Baron Barberin…”

Except for Veil Povian, the names of the nobles in the second quest were included in case information leaked from Rackard.

“Lastly, it was about a man named Rashid from Lipa Village.”

“All right. Shall we start with the book of Carbol?”

“All right.”

Veroa approached the hole in the wall like a window and took out a leather bag.

Shuk.

She returned to her seat, pulled out a piece of paper from her bag, and handed it to me.

“Once the location of the desired book was due to coincidence with other requests, we could not fully investigate. During that time, we found six books in all.”

“It’s a short time, but I found more than I thought.”

“Whoops, we’re Rackard.”

A month would have been enough for the nobles’ information to have been organized to some extent, but I didn’t expect much because the book was newly commissioned and the period was short, but with six books, I found a lot more than expected.

You can still entrust Rackard with the wanted books.

“The books I am going to tell you about now are all the books of Cabol. The first Krasis kingdom basic swordsmanship book Marquis of Lox Office of Marquis of Lox.”

If I hadn’t hardened my expression beforehand when I heard the word Krasis, I might have let out a groan. There seems to be a member of Rackard within the Marquis of Rocks as well.

They were aware of the swordsmanship book I returned to the Marquis after reading it. However, I did not know about the second swordsmanship that I found in the library and currently in my hands.

“The second and third are in the personal study of the Duke of Huraken Zenberg, the Zenberg Family in Iokal, the Holy Kingdom.”

“Right.”

Unfortunately, all three books that have come out so far are the ones I’ve read. I nodded my head roughly at her words and waited for her next words.

“The fourth book of swordsmanship is in the House of Marquis Scion in the Empire.”

“Marquis of Sion? Are you talking about the psion of that fire sword?”

“you’re right. It is the Marquis of Scion who is famous for the fire-attribute explosive sword that burns the battlefield and the fire-attribute aura.”

“hmm…”

The family of the Marquis of Scion is a renowned swordsmanship family in the empire, and the aura of those born in that family contains the fire attribute, so it exerts power that goes beyond the arc.

His pride is as strong as his ability, and the whole family is very cocky, so it seems like he will have to work hard to get his fourth swordsmanship book.

“The fifth swordsmanship of the Kingdom of Hiros is owned by the mercenary Lodian.”

“Lordien?”

“You know? He is the most recognized mercenary these days for his excellent swordsmanship. Completed all missions perfectly without a single failure. In addition, he is famous for his appearance and his eccentricities.”

After Sion, a familiar name came out. Rodien is also a person I know, and he is also a significant figure in the original work.

“Where is Rodien now?”

“It is in Gairin.”

“Gairin? The unowned estate next to the Rocks?”

“You know that Gairin has no owner, so you have a lot of knowledge. that’s right. Lodien has not moved there for months.”

I was sure why the mercenary Rodien was in Gairin. As Beroa said, it was because of his eccentricities, but it seems that the swordsmanship book of the Kingdom of Hiros can be obtained more easily than I thought.

“The last one?”

“The sixth book is here.”

Saying that, Beroa took out a book from his leather bag. It was an antique book wrapped in a green hardcover, and the shape was a little different from the Carbol book I had seen.

“I can’t tell you where I got it, but it was difficult to get.”

“great job.”

You probably got it at an old bookstore or library. If you say such a thing, the price will be cut, so you must not say anything.

“This is a chess book. It’s Braum close combat defense…”

“Isn’t that what you wanted?”

“No, that’s right. It was necessary.”

I have already read 4 books, so I have already memorized Carbol’s handwriting. Just looking at the writing on the outside, you could tell that it was Carbol’s handwriting.

flutter.

There were postures and explanations in the gym book, just like the swordsmanship book, but since it was a defense technique, even the appearance of the enemy was drawn in detail.

Calmly read the pictures and contents of the book of swordsmanship and tried to understand it.

[The Cheonan, enslaved to the Creator’s Eye, engraves 1 Braum Close Combat Defense Technique.]

[Due to the characteristic Cheonmu delay, you can immediately reproduce the charge car.]

After reading all of Chapter 1, a message appeared, just like the swordsmanship. This book was worth learning enough because it was authentic made by Carbol.

widely.

After closing the book, he put it on the table and smiled at Beroa.

“good. I buy all the information, including this book.”

“thank you. Then we will move on.”

“okay.”

Veroa smiled at me and took out a bundle of papers from his bag and handed it to me.

“This is information from the nobles you wanted. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything additional you want.”

“okay.”

The first page was information about Count Karens inserted as a fake. His age, level of power, family relationships, hobbies and specialties, and even secrets like his s*xual orientation were all listed.

I asked her a simple question, read the information of the fake characters, and finally opened the Veil Povian’s papers.

“Actually, after listening to the request from the guest, I re-examined the information of the requested nobles to increase accuracy. As a result, most nobles weren’t that different from the ones we surveyed. but…”

As I lifted the veil’s papers, Beroa hardened his face seriously and opened his mouth.

“Vale Fovian, he alone was very different from what was previously written about. Even what is written on the paper does not represent everything about him.”

“Is that enough?”

“The public perception of Bale Fovian is that he is sincere, considerate, and has outstanding abilities. But he’s hiding a lot. It is our judgment that he is not a white student, as is known, but is hiding great power. There were also several hidden houses there.”

“okay?”

I took her words off with a tone of guessing, but inside I was a little surprised.

Awesome.

Even before Sephiroth appeared in the world, Beroa gathered information about the veil and began to doubt his true identity. She was a much more capable woman than I thought.

“I heard rumors that Baron Foubian of Vale received great recognition in the palace and would soon be able to raise his title, but he said he was quitting the palace.”

“what? when?”

“This is the latest information. The handover has already been completed, and the retirement ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow.”

Since his teeth are gone, it means that he has no reason to stay in the palace. If it hadn’t been for an official position in the palace, Bale would have stopped working the moment I took the tooth.

It saved me a lot of time. Now is a very good time.

Bale will leave the palace and head first to his safe house, not to the Povian estate.

“We couldn’t determine the exact location of the safe house because we had to follow him from a distance.”

The document she gave me listed the location of the suspected safe house of Vail, but this route was sufficient. With the information of the wolves and the information in this document, you can find it alone.

“I buy this information too.”

“thank you.”

“Then what about the last one?”

Veroa, who had been smiling with satisfaction, hardened her face like a plaster cast.

“Could not find.”

“what?”

“A customer said that a man named Rashid was from the village of Lipa, so we started there, but no one knew Rashid.”

“Nobody said they didn’t know Rashid?”

“yes. Not a single person knew the name Rashid. There is a member of our guild who has lived his entire life in that village, but he also did not know a man named Rashid. I also looked for Asseong just in case, but as expected, no one knew the name Rashid.”

“ah…”

Hearing her words, cold goose bumps ran down his spine. Lipa Village is the village where the main character of the original story lived, but he didn’t know the main character existed.

Something must have happened.

“You’re not asking if I gave you the wrong information.”

“It’s true that I suspected it, but looking at the guest now, I don’t think he’s the kind of person who would lie about something like that.”

“is it…”

“Then shall we search again?”

“no. it’s okay.”

When this happens, they cannot find Rashid. You need to find another talent.

“This is enough, good job. Take the commission fee.”

“Then I will collect the money.”

“It doesn’t matter if you take them all.”

“We only take what we work for.”

“know.”

The Rackards spill gold coins on the table because they know they only get paid for their work. Because I know I won’t take it anyway.

“Whoops, you’re really special.”

“Keep looking for Carbol’s book. See you later.”

“Thank you for using Rackard. As ordered, the search for the Book of Carbol will continue.”

I waved back at her greeting, and left the bluebird and came out.

“What the hell happened?”

I thought I had seen Rashid, but now that I think about it, I realize that maybe not. Although there are few black hair in this world, it is not nonexistent.

“It’s not like there’s no way to find it, so let’s deal with the veil first and move.”

Now, there was something I had to do first.

**

“Is this here?”

By combining Rackard’s information with the wolves’ information, it was not difficult to find Bale’s safe house.

It was an ordinary mansion built far from the village, but unlike its use as a hideout, it was neat and tidy.

“I’m sure.”

To confirm, I looked at the people coming out of the tree, but as expected, the movements and characteristics were definitely the wolves of the veil.

“Because Veil’s retirement ceremony is today, he will come here tonight or tomorrow. And because of his personality, he will abandon this place.”

Today is your last chance to set a trap for Bale.

After grabbing a few rocks and branches from the surroundings, I silently approached the mansion like a ghost.

“This should be enough.”

If even one of the wolves escaped, the plan would completely fail, so it was decided to set up a welcome advance camp in reverse around the mansion.

“Samjae (三才) and six-hap (六合) in reverse order…”

The original welcome mirijin is a jin that protects the inside from the outside by combining the order of the samjae and the yukhap.

People inside the Illusion Limit are not affected, but by spreading it out in reverse order, they are installing a reverse march that traps the wolves inside the mansion.

“Self-congratulations, Injury, Mysticism, Jinyu…”

Woo woo woo.

When the last stone was placed next to the entrance according to the six haps and the three jaes, the feeling of the position of the sky and the earth being reversed was felt, and it was felt that the gin had been activated.

Outside, where I am, everything is visible, but inside, chaos must have already begun.

“Then let’s prepare a surprise party for Bale.”

puffy.

self-defeating.

Smoke mixed with purple and silver covered only the mansion as if it were trapped.

**

In less than thirty minutes, all the wolves in the mansion were dealt with and the self-destruction was lifted.

“Good.”

The power of Jagoeyeon, which I used in practice for the first time, was more effective than I thought. In addition, there is a benefit to memorization, so there is no reason not to use it.

Jiying.

After canceling the reverse movement, I set up a welcome advance in the mansion again, and even set up a trap for the veil with the newly obtained poison.

“He won’t be able to figure out the truth.”

Since the Jinbeop is a skill that does not exist in this world, and it was installed tailored to the character of the veil, there would be no reason to doubt it.

[You have mastered all Braum close combat defense techniques.]

From noble mtl dot com

[Braum’s close combat defense is subordinated to the heavenly body.]

[The six senses increase slightly.]

While waiting for the veil, as I read all the chess books I obtained this time, the entire Braum close combat defense system was embedded in my brain, and at the same time, I felt that all my senses were slightly expanded.

“hmm.”

With that feeling, I caught someone approaching the front door of the mansion. The only person who can use the front door of this mansion is Veil.

“The prey has arrived.”

trap (2)

A dark night when the moon in Hahyun covered half of the sky.

A man and a woman were walking along a path through the trees.

“Low and filthy aristocrats.”

A cold, tearing voice leaked from the mouth of the man walking ahead, Veil.

Bale managed to resist the urge to kill every human who came to his inauguration ceremony.

“Anything I can do. Being with pigs who can only eat and bark, I think even I have gotten sick of the foul smell.”

The nobles in the palace were sorry on the outside and told Bale not to leave, but inside they were welcoming the departure of the most recognized Bale with both hands.

“When this is over, I’ll have to tear them apart too. This doesn’t make me feel better.”

On the way to this place, I don’t know how many people I killed for diversion, but Veil’s fingernails were already stained with blood.

The sharp-eyed woman walking behind him followed him without saying a word.

“Are you ready?”

“I have summoned all the captains except the one who is on duty in the basement of the safe house.”

“What about Yu-Ren?”

“There is no information from the Marquis of Rox or Iokal. I’m even investigating the Magic Tower, but his whereabouts are nowhere to be seen.”

“Where the hell did it disappear to, the kid really bothers me. Uren Rocks…”

Veil spoke the name of Yu-Ren with vicious intent to kill. Not long after, they arrived in front of the silent mansion.

“Tonight is the end of this safe house. Get ready and wait.”

“All right.”

The sharp-eyed woman went back to the back door of the mansion, and after looking around the house for a while, Veil opened the outer door and went inside.

That moment.

Woo woo woo.
