Chapter 41  : Fracture

In the southwest suburb of Vance City, there is a wall and a small castle. This is where the mercenaries of a wealthy Gray Dwarf merchant used to station.

In the underground world where the powerful thrives through exploiting the weak, money is often forced to make dealings with strength and wealthy merchants are often not too far from having a big army. But, it is a pity that the mercenary team that the Gray Dwarf chose to hire was a little too ambitious. In less than 3 months of being employed, they got rid of their boss and escaped with his money.

Afterwards, this land was purchased at a cheap price by another merchant. This merchant has trade dealings with Sulfur Mountain City so he sold it to us at a slightly higher price.

Personally, I like this piece of land a lot. It might be a little too far from the heart of the city and the land around it is quite remote. But to us, who have quite a bit of enemies in the city, it is actually a good thing.

At least, no one would be hurt in the traps set up by the Hunters and Mages and the landmines happily set by the goblins.

“Boom!”

“Un, it was indeed the right choice, Otherwise, these frequent explosions would disturb the neighbors.”

After hearing the explosions that I have gotten used to, I nodded my head as I looked at the 70% done goblins whose souls were floating out of their body.

Looking down, I casually ignored the 2 naked man who just flew past… Eaglestorm who grew a pair of wings + Xueti who is riding on him.

Should I exclaim at Eaglestorm’s powers? Despite Body Transformation being a high-level technique that only few of the Great Druids who specialize in Transmogrification can use, but he used it to give himself a human body to spread his teachings of not wearing clothes.

“Wowowowowo! I am the king of the world!!”

Alright, looking at the Tauren, he was slapping his chest and shouting loudly in the air. He is simply too much of an eyesore to ignore, so…

I picked up a round-shaped goblin landmine and threw it over like a frisbee.

The frisbee made a perfect curve but Eaglestorm’s sharp eyes notices the sudden attack. By tilting his body slightly, he easily dodges the attack.

“Haha, you missed!!” That dumb cow didn’t know that his identity was long exposed by me and still shakes his butt towards me, flinging his bird…

“Using that ‘King of the world’ as the target, test the might of the fixed cannon towers and the gnome’s hand grenades, fire!”

After passing down an order to the engineers and firers, I turn around and leaves. As I expected, the screams of agony of the 2 fools could be heard for a long time.magic

“Hmph, to dare to show your bird in front of me… Anyway, they are Legend-rank and their tough enough, they won’t die even if they fall down directly. It is a good opport“Great! Lord, you still remember me. All because of you, I lost my most precious thing that day.”

A golden-colored horse tail sways along with the wind. The other half of the horse body is still in the sack but the redness of her embarrassment extends all the way to her neck.

“Lord… Can you be responsible for me… I don’t request a lot, as long as I have sufficient food, I don’t mind sleeping by the corridors.”

Vaguely, I feel that the gazes from my back has changed from respect to one looking at trash.

“She is so small… It can’t be that Lord is also a special product from Sulfur Mountain City — Pervert.”

“Furthermore, a centaur. Her lower body is a horse. So his taste is the same as Beifeng’s. No wonder Lord couldn’t find a girlfriend in Sulfur Mountain City and fools around the moment he comes out.”

“Hmph, Momo’s perfect image of him in my heart has crumbled, how disappointing. I thought Lord was cool but I didn’t expect him to be a pervert as well. What’s more, a hypocrite who pretends to be righteous. Hate meter explodes! At least 0.9 Beifeng!”

“This… Actually, we shouldn’t comment too much about his private relationship. Lord is a male after all, so he has the freedom to choose who he loves. However, messing around in the start and abandoning her afterwards is wrong!” The Town Security Captain Diana is understanding like always, but I really don’t need this kind of interpretation.

“Huala!” Hearing the sound of the movement of ropes, I immediately lowered my head. Not surprisingly, a cold magic wire flies past slightly above my head.

“Hmph! Master, do you like Phoebe or iron? Let me book for you in advance.”

TL: Phoebe

“I don’t need a coffin!!” Even if Elisa doesn’t point out what these materials refer to, but the frost on her face, the blood veins on her pretty face and those endless wires that were furiously twisting about is sufficient to tell everything.

“Such a picky customer. Then, just die on the cross on the fields. Not only is it environmentally friendly, we can also make good use of trash as a scarecrow to get rid of pests.”

Under Elisa’s summons, countless ice form from the solidification of water vapor, turning into wires that brings about death. As for me, I can only dodge frantically.

“Centaur lass! I promise you! I promise you everything and I will be responsible. Help me explain quickly!!”

“Great! Lord, since you are willing to provide Anya with a job, Anya will work very hard for you. Ahhh, ever since I lost my job because you of, Lord, I really didn’t know what to do. It was fortunate that you were willing to provide me with a job.”

“Job!?”

“Responsible?”

After shouts of surprise, from the explanations of the Centaur girl, everyone finally understands that it is just a misunderstanding.

The one before me who is speaking shyly and even playing with her horse tail is Centaur Anya, the unlucky fellow who lost his job after I caused a scene in the Platinum Order Auction House. She, who viewed her first job in life as the most precious thing to her, naturally can’t forget about me who caused her to lose it.

“…That, initially, on the afternoon 2 days ago, I found a job in a restaurant as a waitress. But, a Holy Knight caused a scene there, saying that she wants to arrest a criminal. In the end, she broke tables and chairs in her fight and ran away. In the end, the boss said that I failed to stopped them and even wanted me to pay… Those Elf Holy Knights are so fierce, how could I have stopped them.”

Holy Knights? Furthermore, Elf Holy Knights? This isn’t Sulfur Mountain City, so I turned my gaze to the Town Security and unsurprisingly, that lass named Momo was intending to sneak away.

“Capture her!” Alright, a few seconds later, there is another dumpling on the floor that is mumbling to herself. “This is too much. How could it be my mistake to punish those slave traders, Momo isn’t wrong.”

“Yesterday afternoon, I found another job in the bath house… But, it was so scary! A bunch of naked perverts rushed in to bathe and after bathing, they ran out naked again. Furthermore, they didn’t pay any money and scared away all of the customers. The boss blamed me for not stopping them again and I lost my job once more…

I silently focused my gaze on those engineers. In the next instant, the firepower tripled once more.

“Yesterday afternoon, I found another job as a servant at the Lion King Residence. But, several hours later, I met with misfortune once more. It was so scary, a very beautiful big sister suddenly rushes in, saying that she wants to borrow the scepter to take a look. My boss refused and they actually started to fight. In the end, half of the Lion King Residence was destroyed.”

“Is that big sister black-haired red-eyed and there is a dragon tattoo-like insignia on her left face?” That centaur girl’s story is simply too legendary that even Little Red came over to listen. But at this point, she suddenly asks seriously.

“Dragon Empress?”

After receiving confirmation, Little Red smiles and her smile was full of malice.

“It is her. Hehe, borrowing Eternal Night Scepter to take a look? This can only be used to fool a kid. The 3rd reason commonly used by the Dragon Tribe’s for extortion ‘Lend me that so that I can take a look, I’m just going to take a look’… If you really lent her that scepter, then you can be prepared to never get it back.”

“The 3rd? Then what are the first 2?”

“I heard that there is a beautiful princess in your home, I heard that the boy in your home is destined to become a dragon-slaying hero…”

“Then, wouldn’t there be a reason to extort from both guys and girls… Who created them? How exquisite! Truly a genius.”

“Of course it is me who was born smart and pretty. But it is a pity that those idiots wouldn’t admit. I was obviously the one who created it but everyone just used it.”

“Ha, there are some things that can be done and not said. Now that you said it out directly, naturally, their pride cannot accept it. However, since the fragile alliance of the Dragon Empress and Beastman Sovereign is starting to fracture, the Dragon Empress should have come alone… Un, pass the message to Kajah and Eduar. Maybe, today’s 3rd dog will be quite strong and I would be able to reap great rewards from my daily quest.”
