Lilas Fragrance with Magic – 304

Smelling Lilac Blossoms (2)
Ugh!
They truly are merchants.
There’s a saying that to get truly important information in the world, you should look for a master merchant rather than an information guild.
They are not to be trifled with.
Wyvern World has only just broken ground. Most of the workers don’t even know what they’re being mobilized for.
It was a top secret known only to those around Legion.
For an outsider with no prior acquaintance to know about something even the territory residents don’t properly know.
Clap clap clap!
I’ll give you applause.
Merchants are the best!
“If it’s real?”
“What are the chances of success?”
“Fifty-fifty.”
If they know about Wyvern World, they’ve already done their research on me. Legion thought there was no need to hide it.
They’re just merchants anyway.
Let’s hear what they have to offer before deciding what to give in return.
“Wyvern World! I’m amazed just hearing about it. Who in the world could have thought of that? Could anyone do it even 100 years from now? So, of course, there will be risks. But I think it’s a very attractive venture. But a fifty-fifty chance of success! I want to be on the same boat.”
The young man smiled charmingly. His teeth were white, as if he had never smoked a cigarette.
“The same boat?”
“Yes, I’m thinking of investing half of my assets. For a project of that scale, wouldn’t even a Count be a little short on funds?”
“Hmm, I don’t know. Not enough to worry anyone, I think?”
“One million gold.”
“A million?”
“Yes, a million as an initial investment.”
Legion pursed his lips.
A million? They’re smaller than I thought. I stole 500,000 worth from Count Persimmon, and the decision I sold to Count Persimmon was worth 2 million, so only 1 million?
“I don’t think that’ll be enough?”
“What? A million as an initial investment…”
“Go and bring me a wyvern with a million [gold coins]. Then I’ll accept.”
“…….”
To think that someone who just became a Count wouldn’t budge at a million… How much money does this Count have?
Deungchyeo looked at Silkeut.
Silkeut shook his head. I don’t know either.
“Two million.”
“No.”
“Three million…”
“I said no.”
“It’s just the first investment.”
Deungchyeo said quietly. Of course, if Wyvern World is properly completed, its value could reach hundreds of millions of gold, no, tens of billions of gold.
But that’s only if it’s completed!
The risk is too great right now.
“How much do you want!”
Legion stared at him intently. He could clearly feel the ridicule inside the helmet.
Legion asked.
“What is the value of a wyvern?”
“…Well, I don’t know?”
“When a wyvern destroys a territory, how much damage does that territory suffer?”
“…Well, 200,000? 300,000? 500,000?”
“Hey, master merchant. You came to trade without even knowing that? Are you kidding me? Or are you trying to rip me off?”
Legion looked at Silkeut and asked about the value of a wyvern.
“The value of a complete wyvern, just obtaining the complete carcass, the scales are worth at least 100,000, the claws 50,000, the eyeballs 30,000, the kidneys 20,000, the liver 20,000, the meat is 100,000 in total, but Nubyeo Nubyeo-nim [a specific wyvern] is worth three times that. Adding the bones, it’s about 100,000 more.”
Legion gestured towards Deungchyeo.
“Did you hear that?”
“…….”
“The number of wyverns I can mobilize is at least 50. Just catching those guys and skinning them would earn ten times the money you mentioned.”
“…….”
“So get lost.”
“C, Count… I think I was too greedy. No, I think I underestimated this project. Can’t I make a better offer?”
“Really? Then give it a try. How much time do you need?”
“Five days, no… four days is enough.”
“Okay. I’ll wait.”
Legion nodded.
Deungchyeo got up, shook hands with Legion and Silkeut, and left the office. Then someone pushed him and came in.
Deungchyeo lost his balance and fell on his butt.
“B, big trouble.”
Beef’s face, who ran into the office, was pale.
* * *
Legion took off his helmet.
He rarely took off his helmet. He voluntarily took it off.
His expression was hard to read.
It was so stiff that inanimate objects seemed to be replacing his expression.
Before Legion’s eyes were the dead covered in white cloths.
The number of dead was seven in total. There were also four seriously injured. No one knew how many of the four would survive.
The priests from the temple rushed out and were pouring healing with all their might, but the wounds of the four were too deep.
“Abdul Jabbar is among the seriously injured.”
Beef said, suppressing his emotions as much as possible.
“Who did this?”
“They say they are Black Warriors.”
“Black Warriors?”
The only ones associated with the Black Warriors are the Stone Head Church.
“Who reported it?”
“A part-time worker at the mart did. He said he watched the whole situation.”
“How many were there?”
“He said he was too scared to see properly… but about fifty or more.”
“Fifty? We’re eleven. Why aren’t there any bodies of those bastards?”
“It seems they used poison to melt them. It seems they didn’t want to reveal their identities. It hasn’t been confirmed where the Golden Carriage went yet. It seems they removed the tracking magic device.”
“The Golden Carriage… it’s important. It’s important…”
Legion’s eyes are getting colder and colder.
Surprisingly, the air around him froze and frost formed.
“Not as important as the lives of my men.”
Legion looked back at Beef and his men. Everyone’s murderous intent was clearly felt.
Seven colleagues who had trained, laughed, and cried together lost their lives overnight. The seriously injured could lose their lives at any moment.
That anger was now rising greatly in one side of his chest.
“In the name of Legion, Count, I order you to search all the new territory residents. If there’s anything suspicious, arrest them all. It’s okay to beat up anyone who resists. Just don’t kill them.”

Bishop Mazulle stepped back.
A clumsy scream escaped from his mouth without him realizing it. He mobilized twenty high-level black mages and black warriors. With this much power, they could take on even a 7-star knight.
In fact, they had been researching ways to capture 7-star knights with 5-star warriors and mages for a long time. It was difficult, but they could be tied down enough, and if he stepped in, even a 7-star couldn’t hold out.
The Stone Head Church had not spent 500 years in vain.
But…….
Where did that monster come from?
Boom boom boom!
Magic exploded continuously around Dreizher.
5-circle lightning magic and fire magic kept exploding. Its cohesion was so powerful that it could be fatal to even an ordinary knight order.
Yet it did not inflict any damage on Dreizher.
No, it didn’t even delay him.
“Hoo-ah!”
Dreizher slammed the Overlord’s Fang [his weapon] into the ground.
The ground cracked as if there had been an earthquake. Aura poured out madly from the cracks.
The black knights were caught in the aura frenzy and couldn’t move.
It was like a moth caught in a spider web.
Crack crack crack!
The black magic mass-produced armor was torn apart. Soon, unable to withstand the shockwave, it shattered and scattered.
“Kuh-uh-uh!”
Screams erupted from their mouths as they couldn’t bear the pain. Blood vessels burst and blood seeped out.
Bang!
As Dreizher rolled strongly on the floor-
The black knights caught in the aura frenzy turned into dust and disappeared.
In an instant, the last black knight fell.
Now, only Bishop Mazulle, who commanded them, remained.
“What the hell are you!”
Mazulle screamed in anger.
He couldn’t believe that he was trembling like this. Anger surged.
He had almost caught them!
He was going to catch them, take the Black Dragon Stone, and play with them until they were tattered.
But that crazy bastard with pigtails appeared and ruined everything.
“You don’t know who I am?”
Dreizher twisted his lips and smirked.
“Who are you!”
“You’re picking a fight without knowing?”
“Picking a fight? You started it!”
“Funny! I was just standing here. I heard you guys were bullying them. You should have apologized and gone back, why did you bother? Anyway, I don’t want to tell you since you’re going to die, but you’ll be annoyed if you just go, right? You’ll regret it less if you know my name on the way to the afterlife. My name is Dreizher.”
“Dreizher… Dreizher… Crazy Dreizher?”
“Bingo.”
Dreizher smiled and approached Mazulle.
Mazulle retreated further and further. The Stone Head Church was aware of all the strong people on the continent.
Of course, they also knew about the Seven Great Powers of the kingdom.
The most famous recently was Dondekman. He was also a person the Stone Head Church was specifically chasing. However, he was stronger than expected, and they still haven’t caught him.
Within the church, he was designated as a special A-class dangerous person.
Marquis Porse is also a very dangerous person. He is cold-blooded and has a strong force. He is also a special A-class dangerous person.
Crazy Dreizher.
He is very strong, but he has no power. He only goes under a person with the title of Baron and does chores.
So the church didn’t pay much attention to him.
His danger level is D.
A report was also written that ten black knights and five black mages could handle him without difficulty.
But…….
“Is that really Dreizher?”
I can’t believe it.
Mazulle took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket. It was a personal statement about the Seven Great Powers of the kingdom.
Information about Dreizher was also written at the very end.
There is also a portrait. He is a great beauty.
No matter how roughly it was drawn… that’s not his face. Furthermore, he doesn’t even braid his hair in pigtails.
“That’s right.”
“Don’t lie! You’re not Dreizher! Reveal your identity!”
“What, like this. I’m right.”
“Liar!”
“Oh, don’t believe me. You son of a bitch.”
Dreizher frowned and rushed in.
Mazulle unleashed a series of attack magic. A streak of light fell from the dark sky, wind flew from all directions like blades, and the ground rose sharply to crush Dreizher.
All of those attacks disappeared with Dreizher’s rough swings of his axe a couple of times.
Dreizher arrived in front of Mazulle!
“Die! You monster!”
Mazulle struck down with his staff. Its hardness was weak, but now was not the time to argue about it.
He just swung it to live.
Crack!
He felt it in his hand.
Damn it…….
It’s the feeling of my hand tearing.
That’s right.
The staff was split in half and flew into the air.
Mazulle looked at the flying staff and looked forward. A terrifying face was approaching right in front of him. He winked one eye.
“Hey, let’s get hit once first. Clench your teeth tightly.”
With that, Mazulle lost consciousness.
He only got hit once, but it felt like his soul had been completely pulled out.
Dreizher snorted and picked up the personal statement that Mazulle had dropped on the floor.
It was densely written about the Seven Great Powers of the kingdom.
He wasn’t interested in the other guys.
He opened the last page. He shook his head as he looked at his portrait.
“What is this? The real thing is much better.”
