Chapter 65: Beautiful Tecnique (2)

Arthur walked quickly following Kalypt's shadow. There were still some employees inside Count Farsh's castle. Therefore, Kalypt was still unable to release his camouflage magic.

The guest room Arthur was using was quite far from the garden. On the way to the room, Arthur occasionally whispered to Kalypt.

"What is that crazy woman doing?" Arthur opened his mouth after seeing that there was no one around in the hallway.

Kalypt didn't answer right away, pulling Arthur's arm to walk faster. From the outside, it looked like Arthur was being dragged by the wind.

They arrived at the guest room. Kalypt opened it and pulled Arthur in. There was no one there because the maid in charge of cleaning the room only came in the morning. It was already early afternoon.

Kalypt opened her magic camouflage. Arthur was a little surprised by her sudden appearance.

"Hey, give the damn signal first. You startled me." Arthur swore at him.

The man could only apologize. "I'm sorry, sir. I thought you were used to it. I was in a hurry for fear that the limit for receiving magic messages would expire since this was sent as early as last night. I just checked it now."

Kalypt took out another magic scroll. "Miss Adhitte only brought some temporary magic communication tools. If they run out, we won't be able to communicate with her."

He also took out a box. Not knowing what it was for, Kalypt placed it on a nearby table.

Arthur asked, "What is that box?"

"A magic tool for recording."

The communication magic scroll that Adhitte used was just a voice recorder. So since it was a disposable item, it was supposed to be recorded so that it would not be lost.

Kalypt tore the magic scroll. As it tore, there was a spark of electricity that made Arthur widen his eyes.

'That's not magic... it's like a glitch in the system. Adhitte is using the system to communicate? No way, Kalypt isn't a member of his party.'

After being torn apart, the magic scroll made a sound. There were mana threads that were still floating and showed some static movement like a sound spectrum.

Tring!

"I found the purchase document of a monster carcass in this arena. There is no name of the seller, but there is a description of the origin. There's a noble seal as well. It says here that the sender's origin is from the Marithus Kingdom. It did say carcasses, but there wasn't a single monster carcass in question, all of them were still alive when I smuggled in secretly. There were also drugs smuggled in and a lot of humans sent here."

Arthur had already guessed that Adhitte would easily carry out his task. Was it really so easy to control this protagonist?

"I also found someone interesting. It looks like he was abducted when he was injured. He smells just like that arrogant Guild Leader. I'll be back after playing around here."

Tring!

Adhitte's voice disappeared after the strange ringing of the bell. Arthur blinked his eyes and began to frown.

"It looks like the Marithus Kingdom is becoming a monster importer to the Viper Kingdom, sir. Garunam Kingdom is importing strange potions there. Then for the human suppliers, it seems to be from the Easy Gold Guild." Kalypt commented.

"No, no. I already know that. What I'm confused about is, who is the person who looks like Dean?" Arthur took out his question.

As he remembered, in the novel, Dean was the only one who finished the place, without anyone's help. Unless there was someone who deliberately helped him from the inside without appearing in the scene. The person in question doesn't even appear in the story! Was this the revised version of Woo Jihyuk's game again?

Arthur muttered, "That bastard Woo Jihyuk, what else did he add to the game?"

"Yes, sir?"

Arthur looked at the confused Kalypt in front of him. "Not you. Just someone I used to know."

He picked up the recording box on the table. He did not know how to use the device. The man asked, "How do I use this?"

"Insert the mana stone to record and take it out when it stops recording. To listen, turn the stone to the right and turn it to the left to stop the recording." Kalypt explained well.

Arthur removed the mana stone that was there. "This looks like a memory card on Earth."

Kalypt took the tools on the premise that he would give them to Dean. He said, "I need to go to Dean—I mean, Leader-nim right away. We don't know what will happen if it is left entirely to Miss Adhitte who is not from this world."

Arthur agreed. "Yes, that's right. The way this world works is not necessarily the same as other worlds. So, how long do you think you'll be gone?"

Kalypt replied, "A week, by the time the Viper Kingdom's business is done."

Arthur nodded. He saw Kalypt putting his tools into his magic bag. It looked like he was going to finish everything.

The man also took out two scrolls of teleportation magic. Why two?

"Why are you using two scrolls?" Arthur immediately asked him.

"The teleportation magic scroll that goes straight there only has one left. I haven't bought it back yet." Kalypt replied as he was about to tear up the scroll.

Arthur held his hand, preventing that from happening. He said, "Wait."

He picked up the bag on his desk. A small bag that was of course a magic bag. Arthur took something out of it.

Cring!

The sound of objects rubbing together was heard. After Arthur picked it up, it seemed to glow in Kalypt's eyes. He felt like his eyes would go blind from it.

"Just take the change. Buy enough for a month's supply." Arthur gave the gold coin to Kalypt.

Of course, Kalypt immediately counted the coins. One hand was not enough to hold the coins.

"This is more than twenty gold coins. Is that okay, sir? I know you often give alms with your money." Kalypt was still amazed that Arthur would give money so easily.

Arthur replied, "I still record it in my financial report as charity. But to a guild, not a slum anymore. I checked, and it turns out that the slums I used to help are quite advanced now. I thought of helping them by creating jobs instead of giving them constant financial aid. They won't develop if it continues like that. What will happen if I'm not around?"

'Wow, you've grown a lot, Kang Seongje.'

Kalypt smiled. He said, "May all your problems be resolved, sir. Feel free to ask me for any favors since you are a VVIP in the K-Night Guild, which is now my guild."

"Yes, don't mind. Just go."

Kalypt nodded and tore off his teleportation magic scroll. There was a spark of electricity coming out, but that was fine. Before leaving, Kalypt smiled until his body finally disappeared from Arthur's sight.

Arthur, who was left alone, immediately changed his expression. He covered his face and started muttering something.

"Damn it, I don't know anything."

He continued to cover his face, then when he released his hand, Arthur looked up. He also raised his middle finger upwards.

"Whoever you are sent me here. Whether God or Woo Jihyuk, you're all bastards! At least give me the system without having to enter Adhitte's party!"

Arthur cursed while looking up. He continued to rant, not knowing that there were actually two servants outside who wanted to enter because they were delivering lunch.

One of the servants asked his friend. "Eum... should we go in? I heard Young Duke Arthur-nim is very merciful."

Her friend replied, "I heard the rumors of the senior butlers when they were maids. They said most nobles are only nice in front. Inside, they're like everyone else. Either evil or ...."

They stopped the conversation and chose to leave. Because of this, Arthur and Count Rubel, who had just returned from the garden, had neither lunch nor snacks for the afternoon.

The two endured hunger until the evening when Count Farsh had already called for dinner. Of course, the two people didn't know that someone had already delivered the food, but returned again because of Arthur's tantrum.

"Miss Cindy, please take this package of books of yours."

Cindy Esperen, the illegitimate child who ran away from her Baron father still had to undergo several entrance exams to the Magic Tower of the Kingdom of Marithus. Previously, she faced tests on circle size, mana type and some of her magic casting methods.

Now, she had a problem where the written test began. Cindy had never received any formal or informal education. She could read and speak the unified language of the Kingdom of Marithus. However, the written test questions were in the Gigana Continent's unitary language.

So, that day, Cindy went to Heonith City to borrow a dictionary. Previously she was accompanied by Roby, but that man received a summons from the palace and returned again disguised as a palace knight.

Cindy came out of the bookstore after getting some dictionary books. She opened the shop door, but ....

Brak!

"Ouch, damn. That hurts!"

Cindy bumped into a man who was about to enter the store. Fortunately, the books Cindy was carrying did not fall. That girl looked up to see who she heard. The man's voice was very pleasant to hear.

"Ah, pardon me, Miss—wait a moment, are you a candidate for the academy?"
