Chapter 60: Start Explore (1)

It was the same night as usual. The guards took turns to take a break. Some had already returned to their positions after eating and some were due to finish work. Two new guards returned to the hallway where the human fighters were.

The two people felt that there was nothing strange. Until finally, that two guards met their boss who seemed to have gone to the fighters' place. Suddenly the two immediately greeted him.

"Good evening, sir. We just switched shifts!" One of the two guards opened his voice. It didn't seem strange that their boss was hanging around.

Their boss, Mr. Kasry simply replied, "Yes, just continue your guard. Just guard the front of the hallway. Everyone is asleep in there and I don't want my fun interrupted if a sleep-deprived fighter messes up the battle."

Mr. Kasry's words seemed like an absolute order. That two men continued to bow like it was the finish line of their lives. "Yes, sir!"

Mr. Kasry left with a guard who seemed to have just been summoned. Then the two guards took up positions at the beginning of the hallway as their boss had suggested.

"Looks like Master is bored again. It's a good thing he didn't say anything about future predictions this time." One of the guards breathed a sigh of relief.

His friend chimed in, "I agree with you. Master's power, which is equivalent to that of a supreme necromancer, makes my breath catch every time. It's a good thing he didn't say anything just now."

The two people continued to feel grateful. They looked again at the large door through which their boss had left. It was connected to the main hallway that connected other parts of the room.

The guard accompanying Mr. Kasry said, "Your acting was very good, 101. You seem to be too relaxed here."

Mr. Kasry, who was actually number 101, grinned. "I don't know how you came up with this thing. However, it's very useful. You must be more dangerous than those necromancers."

Yes, number 101 was using the mask given to him by Adhitte. Without bothering to think for long, he took the form of Mr. Kasry as a disguise. It turned out that the mask had a disguise function up to the body. Even the half naked body of number 101 was wrapped in Mr. Kasry's clothes as well.

"Perhaps our meeting was fated. I was forced to help you because our goals are not too different. We should move towards Mr. Kasry's room first to find evidence of the monsters' purchase." Number 101 walked over rather hurriedly.

Adhitte took long strides to follow number 101. They walked into the hallway where the smell of female perfume was very strong. Considering that Mr. Kasry was very fond of playing women from brothels, that two knew by heart where that person's private rooms were.

"Mr. Kasry has many rooms. I don't know where the important things are kept, but for now we can check them one by one." Adhitte said while opening one of the doors.

Number 101 quickly grasped her hand. "Be careful, we don't know where Mr. Kasry is. He doesn't have a set schedule because he's used to taking care of this arena."

Adhitte said, "That bastard isn't here. There is no scent of Mr. Kasry's contaminated mana among these rooms. My guess is that's one of the reasons the two guards didn't find it strange. It looks like it's time for Mr. Kasry not to be in his room."

Number 101 released Adhitte's wrist, letting her enter one of the rooms. He said, "I'll check the other room."

Adhitte entered the room which turned out to contain some display items. There was an old urn displayed on a special table. Some paintings were old, but well-preserved. There were also some musical instruments that used pearls and gems.

She entered the room deeper and searched for some things on the table. "There seems to be a weapon made from a rare monster that can be used as evidence."

While searching, she kept looking at the door. Even if she used skills, she was afraid that traces of mana would be left there. So she moved using her own power.

On the other side, number 101 entered Mr. Kasry's office. There were many documents piled up on the desk. He quickly walked over to the desk and looked at the contents.

Apparently luck was on his side. Without bothering to search, it was a contract written from a guild. The contract contained a trade agreement for monster carcasses. It could have been written monster carcasses, but in fact what he saw was that all the monsters that entered became fighters.

He quickly took the contract. He even took the magic communication device on the table. Number 101 acted as if it had no time to think.

Click!

The sound of the door opening startled him. A beautiful woman walked into the office. Even the woman was surprised that someone who looked like her boss was there.

"I'm sorry, M-master! I was just picking up my things that were left here!" The woman bowed deeply.

Number 101 looked around. In front, on the floor to be precise, there were several scraps of cloth and also a strange liquid. It seemed that just a while ago, Mr. Kastry and the woman who had just entered had made love.

"Just take it and come out after that." Number 101 acted as if Mr. Kasry was at work.

The woman picked up something from the floor and just walked out. She looked scared for some reason. Number 101 knew what had frightened her after seeing the blood on the floor.

"That crazy bastard also took a girl's future. That bastard doesn't deserve to live." Number 101 muttered in annoyance.

After taking what he needed, he walked out of there. Right after coming out, he met Adhitte who didn't seem to have found anything.

With a grin, number 101 said, "I've found something useful."

***

Today was the last day of Arthur's stay inside Count Goldy's castle. During his three days there, Arthur was introduced to some of their businesses. Especially the horse farm and how they could continue exporting horses.

The first day, they toured their entire business premises. The second day, Arthur was taken around to meet the distributors. Today, he was invited to bring several types of horses.

Arthur, who was Kang Seongje, a very narcissistic person, immediately tried to ride a war horse. Count Rubel's warning went unheeded. Even Jeff Goldy who accompanied him could not stop him.

One horse was prepared for Arthur to ride. The horse was similar to the Mongolian Horse he had seen on earth. Arthur brought Jeff Goldy along to keep him company.

"Does this horse usually train with knights too? Look at the muscles on this body...." Arthur muttered in amazement after seeing the horse. He watched the horse as it circled around in excitement.

Slowly he realized something. Arthur looked at his own body which was currently wearing a shirt and pants to be useful. No lie, the horse's body was even better than his own.

'Damn, even a horse's body is better than this body. Gods do intend to insult me.'

Jeff Goldy, who didn't know that Arthur was saying resigned words in his heart, tried to warn Arthur again. "Young Duke-nim, be careful when riding. War horses are the most sensitive of all animals."

"Of course I have to be careful. Thank you for your concern." Arthur eagerly returned the words of concern.

He looked over to Count Rubel who was chatting with Count Goldy from afar. The two men each opened a ledger. It seemed like they were still talking about their business.

Excitedly, he mounted the horse without the guards. He almost fell because of the slippery footing. Fortunately, Jeff Goldy was quick to grab his rising leg.

"Hupla!"

Once he was up there, he immediately made the horse walk without Jeff Goldy. Of course it made that person accompanying him very surprised. Moreover, the horse immediately accelerated like a panicked horse.

Apparently, Kalypt, who was currently using a camouflage magic tool, had climbed on the horse and sat behind Arthur. He said, "Let me take over, sir. I'm better at riding horses."

Arthur, who was surprised by Kalypt's sudden voice, shook his head. "No! I'm going to hurt myself on purpose. Why are you riding here?"

"Huh? Sir, how can you think like that? What do you want to do by harming yourself?" Kalypt looked puzzled by his companion.

Arthur grinned. "Of course if there was an accident, Count Goldy would be blamed because he doesn't have any knowledge about horses. Jeff Goldy will be the hero who helps me, hehehehe."

Hearing that, Kalypt was ready to get off the horse. He was looking for a magic scroll that could move his own body like a levitation or teleportation scroll. Arthur was now going a bit crazy with his plan.

'I'm going to ask Jeff Goldy to immediately resume his position because Count Goldy is old, negligent and unable to take care of business on his own. So, I'll drag Jeff Goldy to my faction in exchange for making him a count right away.'

When Kalypt had found the magic scroll, he immediately tore it and what happened was that his body floated. It seemed to be a levitation magic scroll. However, the horse Arthur was riding was getting faster and as Kalypt levitated, it coincided with Arthur bouncing off the horse.

BRUGH!
