Magic Learned in Vain – 307

Real Bad Guy 3

Legion looked at the club owner, who was losing consciousness.

Bacon had already rummaged through his pockets. No evidence was found.

“Well, who do you think these guys are?”

“Would they do anything that would reveal who they are?”

“If it weren’t for Emon—he doesn’t appear often because he’s not popular (though there may be opportunities for him to appear in the future)—even if you don’t remember him as the head of the information guild in the port city of CM, a supporting character who had his Irish whiskey stolen by Legion and Dreiser and is now a loyal henchman of Freeza—I would have been completely fooled.”

Perhaps he’s just lucky, and the Stone Head Church is unlucky.

The Stone Head Church paid a large sum to Emon, asking him to investigate everything about Legion’s territory.

This is where their work went wrong.

Emon twisted the information and passed it on to them, and then informed Legion of the fact.

“They really have no luck. Shouldn’t they at least make a plan that doesn’t get them caught?”

“Who are you talking about?”

“Haa! I’m talking about the Stone Head Church. What did those guys do wrong? It’s pitiful how they always get caught when they try to do something. It’s like they can’t catch a break.”

“Damn it! Mark, can’t you go to him? Go and make him a wizard.”

“Huh! Are you abandoning me now that you’re doing so well?”

…….

“Haa-! Just speak clearly, you damn artificial intelligence. You know, don’t you? That some of the kids are out looking for Red Zircon [a valuable magical gem]. Just wait until you get your hands on Red Zircon.”

“Hehe, my kind and great master. Why are you saying such things to this loyal artificial intelligence?”

“Anyway, I really can’t let these guys get away with this. I used to just ignore them when they were annoying, but how dare they touch my subordinates?”

“Well… I agree with you, master. We should crush those bastards. Yes! Absolutely!”

“Why are you talking so softly?”

“What do you mean, master?”

“I don’t remember well because it was in the first volume, but didn’t you say, ‘This is the latest trendy way of speaking in our world. So you should adapt too.’?”

“No, master. How could I dare to tell you to adapt? It was all a conspiracy by the Stone Head Church.”

…….

“From volume 1?”

“…….”

“Ah, this bastard is diving again [feigning ignorance].”

In fact, looking at the results, the Stone Head Church is more pitiful. Except for the hardships, Legion had been getting stronger and stronger since he encountered those guys, but the Stone Head Church had one or two projects that were blocked by Legion and collapsed.

The Black Dragon was also taken away, and the branches in each region are collapsing.

Moreover, they still don’t know who their real enemy is.

In that context, Don Deckman was the biggest victim.

The Stone Head Church pointed to Don Deckman as the person blocking their path. In fact, they have no interest in Legion at all.

The reason they set up a branch here was just to raise funds in this popular territory, and they had no other intentions.

Furthermore, this place, which cost more than 200,000 gold to set up, has only been in full operation for three months.

No matter how much they’ve earned in the meantime… they’re in a situation where they’re going to lose 200,000 gold.

However, the branch manager is Lilac, one of the bishops.

It was because she wanted to, and that was all to find a way to get revenge on Legion, blinded by revenge.

Still, to avoid getting caught, she commissioned the information guild far away… It turned out to be Emon – in case someone has forgotten him, let me say again, Emon doesn’t appear often because he’s not popular (though there may be opportunities for him to appear in the future), even if you don’t remember him as the head of the information guild in the port city of CM, a supporting character who had his Irish whiskey stolen by Legion and Dreiser and is now a loyal henchman of Freeza.

In other words, from the perspective of the Stone Head Church and Lilac, they had put their heads in the tiger’s mouth [placed themselves in a dangerous situation].

However, Legion was also being careless.

Even though he had received the report a long time ago, he had been relieved because there were no signs.

Because of that, his subordinates died.

Legion sincerely regretted it.

He should have nipped it in the bud [stopped it early on].

“Start.”

“I will. But what was this bastard’s name?”

“Kim.”

“Kim?”

“Kim or Kim.”

“What a terrible name.”

Legion approached the club owner, who was sprawled on the bed, snoring.

“Hey, Mr. Kim. Time to work.”

* * *

Mr. Kim opened his eyes.

He was having a good dream surrounded by beautiful women, and he was about to do something, and he had taken off all his clothes, and they were about to take off all their clothes.

He woke up because of that damn bastard.

Damn it.

His eyes are stinging.

He ran his tongue around his mouth. His tongue goes in and out. A few teeth are missing.

He seems to have been hit only once, but there were several wounds.

It hurts, but it’s also amazing. How can you hit someone so that their teeth fall out, their eyes get bruised, and their nose breaks?

Did he get hit twice more while he was unconscious?

“Ugh.”

Mr. Kim groaned and raised his upper body.

His suit jacket was off. His white top was stained red with his blood.

“Are you awake?”

“Where is this?”

Mr. Kim looked around.

It looked like a warehouse. Light was streaming from the ceiling. It’s been quite a while since he met the lord at dawn.

Grumble.

He’s also hungry. Is it lunchtime?

“Now is not the time to be wondering about that.”

Legion tapped Mr. Kim’s cheek.

He lost seven subordinates because he couldn’t catch this bastard. He can’t even guarantee the lives of four of his subordinates.

Abdul Jabbar, one of his closest aides, has not regained consciousness.

Just thinking about it made his stomach churn.

He should have done this sooner.

Uncharacteristically, he was too cautious.

“Come here.”

Legion walked to one side of the warehouse.

Mr. Kim had no choice but to follow Legion with a look of fear mixed in his eyes.

* * *

The situation is not good.

Nevertheless, Mr. Kim brainwashed himself, saying, “I won’t die. I won’t die.” He had already figured out everything about Lord Legion.

A kind man who respects the elderly and loves peace.

A man who is so kind that he can’t even step on an ant and kill it.

His courage and tolerance are superior to any other lord.

Mr. Kim exclaimed several times while reading the reports given to him by the members of the information guild.

In this evil world… he was truly a saintly lord.

The haves want more, and the have-nots harass the have-nots and live in the world!

In such a world!

How could a lord be so altruistic?

In particular, this scene was so touching.

It was the month when the cherry blossoms were blooming. The lord stood under the colorful cherry blossoms with a benevolent face. Spirits and birds sat on his back and shoulders.

And in front of him, all kinds of monsters and demi-humans knelt and shed tears.

Legion’s territory is where humans, demi-humans, and monsters live together. That was the starting point.

The lord emitted a glow and took seven steps.

How could anyone, regardless of gender or age, not be moved?

That’s why Mr. Kim was sure that the lord would not kill him.

But what is it? This uneasiness.

It’s like going to the bathroom and forgetting to bring toilet paper. He thought about why.

The lord’s eyes flashed past.

Ah!

He remembered.

The lord’s unbelievably cold eyes.

Mr. Kim is a believer in the Stone Head Church. He received early education at the temple from a young age. Although he was demoted to an informant because he had no talent for force, he knew many black magicians and black knights.

Even the eyes of those who had killed many people were not as cold as the lord’s.

That’s unsettling.

“Come in quickly.”

The lord urges from inside the door.

“Ah, yes.”

Mr. Kim hesitated and headed inside the door.

Ah, damn it.

He had a bad feeling about this.

Mr. Kim froze.

There is an unwritten rule in the territory. If you see Sepia, avoid it at all costs.

At first, he wondered what it meant.

He had occasionally seen Sepia from afar, but he didn’t feel that scared. Sepia was an ‘existence’ that had nothing to do with him.

But…….

Meeting Sepia this close made his arms and legs stiff and he couldn’t move.

-Krrr.

Sepia turned his head and looked at Mr. Kim.

The monster gulped down the beer in the drum [large barrel] in one gulp and put it down on the floor with a thud. The drum was shattered into dozens of pieces because of how hard he hit it.

It’s really unbelievable power.

“Sit there.”

Legion pointed to the sofa that was standing alone.

Mr. Kim hesitated and sat on the sofa. It felt like he was being pricked with needles in his butt.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You’re going to say you don’t know anything anyway.”

“Yes? What do you mean…”

“Ah, that’s it. Very desirable!”

“No, that’s not it, what are you talking about…”

“Very good posture! You must have been trained that way. If you can’t stand it, just bite your tongue.”

“That’s not it, I’m a good… citizen. Please send me away. I really don’t know anything.”

“I’m curious.”

“About what?”

“How much pain can a human endure? This is a bet between you and me. If you endure it, I won’t ask anything and I’ll back down. I think you’re a great believer, so I’m sure you will.”

“En, endure?”

Legion looked at Sepia.

He was wearing sponge gloves on his fists.

It seems that he is wearing gloves to absorb the shock as much as possible because humans die when they are hit with bare fists.

“I’ve even cast a shock-absorbing magic. Sepia’s fists are weak… but you can still die. But I cast a spell, so you won’t die. But your brain will probably shake a lot. Your brain shakes from side to side and touches your skull, which can damage your brain in an instant. I can’t take responsibility for that.”

“Th, that’s torture!”

“Huh? Where do you see this as torture? It’s a game. If you win, I’ll let you go. I know everything. This is a game you’re going to win anyway. I know I’m going to lose, but what can I do? My subordinates died, so I have to pretend to do this.”

Mr. Kim was speechless.

What kind of nonsense is this?

The only person who loses out is himself. Even if things go well, he will hurt his brain. If he is really hit by that monster’s fist, he feels like his intelligence will return to when he was 3 years old.

If he wins, he hurts his brain, and if he loses, he has to tell all the facts he knows.

Curses welled up in his throat.

“I won’t do it. I won’t do it.”

“Hey, don’t be so humble. Oh, and the game has already started.”

Legion used binding magic.

Mr. Kim’s face, who was sitting on the sofa, turned white.

He shook his body wildly. But his hands and feet were tied to something and he couldn’t move.

“Let me go. Please let me go. I don’t know anything!”

“I know you don’t. Do you know Crocky?”

“I don’t know!”

“He’s the youngest soldier among those who died this time. He was an archer. He participated in this operation and died. Do you know what his wish was? To take care of his single mother comfortably. He said that she had only suffered for him all her life. Crocky brought his single mother from the countryside a while ago. But he died less than two months after bringing his mother.”

“I don’t know anything about it. Really.”

Mr. Kim shouted desperately.

Legion put his hand on his shoulder and finished the whiskey in his glass.

“Do you know Ganon?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know.”

“He’s not even thirty yet, but he has three children. It seems his wife is pregnant again this time. So he has four children. He has to work hard. He’s the head of the family. But that head of the family died. The baby’s mother suddenly lost her husband. The three children lost their father. The unborn child will not even know about the existence of a father.”

“I feel sorry for them. I feel so sorry for them. But it has nothing to do with me.”

“A life of carrying a sword. You can die anytime, anywhere. He must have known that too.”

“That’s right. Isn’t that the life they live? It’s pitiful, but that’s their fate.”

“Yes. That’s their fate. But you know what? My subordinates shouldn’t be like that. They can’t die without my permission. I pushed them so hard to keep them from dying. You killed my subordinates without my permission.”

Legion made eye contact with Mr. Kim.

His eyes were so cold that Mr. Kim couldn’t even look Legion in the eye.

“You will pay the price for that. From now on…”
