next day.

We headed to the place we had promised with Ryan.

“welcome.”

Ryan was waiting for us with a more decorated look than yesterday.

“You are here.”

“I’m sorry. We should have come first.”

“no. Because I came early.”

Lian smiled at Serenia, who was sorry and didn’t know what to do.

I would have thought it was a very nice smile.

‘It just seems like the wolf is happy with its prey.’

Since the face was a wolf, the young painting did not live.

“Now, I will guide you properly today. Just trust me and follow me.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

We moved along with Ryan.

“This is the most famous museum in Yeongji… .”

“Wow! Great.”

“This is a place called the sacred place of lovers, under that statue… .”

“Really?”

“That place is the core of the Ethlon Territory… .”

“There are so many people!”

“This restaurant is not inferior to the one we went to yesterday… ”

“So delicious!”

Lian really guided us with all his enthusiasm and sincerity.

And Serenia, who works hard to match it.

It felt mechanical when viewed from the side, but… .

“Haha, what do you have?”

Lian, already blinded by Serenia’s beauty, doesn’t seem to care.

In any case, it was a guide that perfectly suited the purpose of tourism to see if it was bragging.

Of course, if the real purpose was tourism.

In the first place, what we expected from Lian wasn’t tourism.

‘Looks like it’s time to get to the point.’

Before meeting Lian, he shared some opinions with Serenia.

I had to tell the story in a way that was as natural and unsuspecting as possible.

“Is there any place you would like to visit more?”

Thankfully, Lian said what we wanted first.

Serenia opened her mouth and her eyes sparkled.

“Ah, can I take a tour of the Duchy?”

“You mean dukedom?”

“yes! I heard that Duke Ethlon’s castle is really cool. I heard it’s a must-visit place if you come to the Ethlon estate.”

“uh… .”

Lian’s slightly flustered face.

It must have been a difficult request to answer.

No wonder.

Rian’s father is the butler, but Lian is not the butler.

It might be possible with permission, but it was definitely not a matter that could be decided right now.

However, Serenia did not give a chance and pushed Lian.

“Oh, sorry. I asked for too much. Never mind.”

Disappointed expression and eyes.

Moreover, it even goes so far as to stimulate self-esteem in a strange way.

It was enough to cloud the judgment of Lian, who had his eyes on the woman.

“What kind of sad words are you talking about? Didn’t I tell you? My father is the butler of the Duke Castle. Of course you can.”

“Really?”

“Sure.”

Lian beats her chest and speaks loudly.

It was easier than I thought, and I was rather embarrassed.

It was a waste of effort thinking of other ways in case of rejection.

There really is no such thing as a hogu.

‘What… Anyway, the goal is achieved.’

I exchanged glances with Serenia.

All that remains is to follow that foolish wolf into the castle.

“Follow me. I will guide you to the Duchy.”

Ryan took the lead with a confident expression.

Seeing that, Serenia whispered.

“It’s easier than I thought.”

“Right. But entering doesn’t end there.”

“Absolutely.”

Our goal is to find the red wolf’s teeth.

Finding a target in a wide operability would never be an easy task.

“first… Let’s go in and think.”

We headed to the Duchy Castle, where the Red Wolf’s Tooth was hiding.

* * *

The time it took to reach the Duchy was very short.

It was because he used the prepared magic circle.

“Actually, this magic circle cannot be used by anyone. Thanks to my father, who is the head of the butler, I was also able to benefit from it. And neither do you.”

Lian is proud of himself whenever he has something to show off.

Serenia cooked and boiled such Lian well.

“You are great too. But I don’t think this is inside the Duchy?”

“you’re right. Even I cannot use the magic circle that communicates directly with the inside. We have to enter through the front door. Now, shall we go?”

Ryan led us to the front door.

A huge door blocking our way.

I don’t know the exact material, but it doesn’t seem like it’s usually hard.

And in front of the door, Demonwolves dressed in armor were standing guard.

Compared to the guards guarding the gate outside the manor, they looked much stronger and more orderly.

‘I guess it’s dukedom after all.’

The security posture did not seem to be easy.

Of course, only the guards.

He wasn’t stronger than me.

When I checked the status window, it was similar to or weaker than Erina.

But the problem was the numbers.

Roughly, dozens of people.

I didn’t know how many more people were inside.

Besides, there must be stronger players inside, so it was never an easy thing to think about.

‘Maybe the quest will be solved, but it might take quite a while.’

I didn’t even think of looking for things today.

I just wanted to check the inside of the castle and aim for the next opportunity.

“Mister, I am here.”

Lian approached the frontmost guard guarding the entrance and greeted him.

“Well? it’s rian What are you doing here?”

“Oh, I was thinking of seeing my father for a while.”

“Is that so? let it go in.”

“thank you. Shall we go in then?”

Lian came out and gestured to Serenia.

Then the guard tilted his head and asked.

“Who are those two?”

“These are the people I will introduce to my father.”

“okay? Hmm… Did you get permission from the butler?”

“of course.”

“I get it.”

A guard who just let us in without any special confirmation.

It was rather embarrassing to pass so easily than expected.

‘Am I really this lax?’

It is rather a welcome thing for those who have to secretly bring things out.

But that was my mistake.

The scenery that comes into view after passing through the gate.

It was a gorgeous mansion.

“This is the Duchy Castle where Duke Ethlon is staying.”

Lian proudly introduces herself.

It was definitely great.

Because the formative beauty was so great that the huge mansion itself looked like a work of art.

Of course, what surprised me was not the beauty of the mansion.

‘Also… Is this why they let me in so easily?’

Surrounding the mansion are double-triple watchtowers.

And there were more troops gathered around it than before passing through the gate.

‘Is this a solvable quest?’

No matter how you think about it, the difficulty level was too high.

I need to look inside the mansion, but there are too many gates to pass through.

Only three have been revealed, but there may be more.

‘There must be a reason why the staff obediently allowed me to do the quest.’

It was because it was a difficult difficulty to solve easily even if I took on it.

‘Escape using the magic circle… No, it must be difficult.’

He said that no one could use the magic circle directly connected to the inside.

We won’t be able to use it.

In addition, it could have been prepared to prevent the intruder from escaping using the magic circle.

It was a difficult quest in many ways.

‘I’ll look into it first and give up if I don’t want to.’

I’ve been asked by Serenia, but I don’t necessarily have to solve the quest.

If it’s really hard, just give up.

Of course, until then, I plan to do my best.

“You can follow me.”

Lian led me and Serenia to see various places in the mansion.

Certainly, as befits a duke’s castle, there were many things to see, so it was fun for the eyes.

Rian must have been quite a celebrity in the castle, and he was greeting many people passing by.

“Haha, I have to guide you on this, but everyone pretends to know. sorry.”

“it’s okay. If it wasn’t for Lian-nim, I wouldn’t have been able to come in in the first place.”

Serenia got Lian’s attention by arguing appropriately, and I continued to keep my eyes on the structure of the castle.

As I was looking at the duchy, I suddenly felt something strange.

‘It doesn’t seem to go into the center of the mansion.’

The places Lian guided were all outskirts or relatively far from the center.

At first, it was such a large place that I thought I would introduce it one by one, but it wasn’t.

‘Maybe they can’t go inside.’

I don’t know if I can’t take outside people, or if it’s a space that Rian isn’t allowed to.

That center was thought to be the heart of the castle.

And Serenia seemed to notice that too.

nod

Serenia, who met my gaze, looked at Lian and said.

“Lian-sama, by any chance, is there something inside? I want to go in.”

“yes? uh… .”

Lian’s expression was visibly taken aback.

Looking at the reaction, it seemed that my expectations were correct.

“Ah, that is where the Duke lives. It’s a place I can’t even get into. It can be said to be the most important place in this duchy.”

“Oh, I see. there’s nothing we can do.”

Serenia took a step back.

Attempting to force entry would only backfire.

“sorry. But don’t be too disappointed as there is still a ton of places to see.”

“I know.”

“Then shall we go again?”

Lian led us to the outskirts of the castle.

Read at noblemtl. com

Unlike the center, it is a quiet and sparsely populated area.

There was not much to see.

“Where is this?”

Lian, who was ahead of Serenia’s words, hesitated.

“You mean here?”

“yes.”

“Whoops.”

Lian turned her head.

A meaningful smile formed on his lips.

“This is the place to deal with you guys.”

“What do you mean?”

Serenia asked with a puzzled face.

“Stop the smoke. I knew from the beginning that you were a succubus.”

Ryan’s confident voice.

Serenia’s expression changed at once, deciding that there was no point in hiding it any longer.

“Ha, I thought you were just an idiot.

“For what purpose did you come to the Ethlon estate? Oh, you don’t have to ask. It’s obvious what you filthy succubuses are for.”

Serenia’s face was cold.

“The way he speaks is quite… spicy? I need to correct the habit first.”

Serenia’s finger pointed at Lian.

The purple magic that forms on your fingertips.

It was the power of fascination.

“First, I will charm you and listen to your story.”

The purple Magi shot at Lian.

Squeak.

It soon seeped into his body.

“Now, let me ask you. How did you know I was a succubus?”

food-

Lian raises the corners of her mouth instead of answering.

No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look enchanting.

“This child… .”

Serenia released a stronger enchanting power than before.

However.

“Stop the nonsense. The power of four years doesn’t work here at all.”

Rian laughed at Serenia and snapped her fingers.

Right.

At the same time, about 20 demon wolves appeared in the alley.

Each armed with various weapons seems to have been prepared from the beginning.

“uh… .”

Serenia looked at me with a puzzled face.

“The fascination doesn’t work. What should I do?”

this child?

why do you ask me that

Excluding fascination, Serenia’s lack of direct combat power was right in the situation where there was no answer.

I expected this part, so I wasn’t too embarrassed, but I thought I’d already write the next card.

‘Somehow he said it was too easy.’

If you think about it, there were some questionable parts to be considered simply lucky.

‘For now, let’s think about solving the current situation.’

I shook my head and stepped forward.

In any case, the position to help the quest.

I couldn’t let her suffer.

“Is he possessed by a succubus? It doesn’t matter. Why do you think I gave you a day? You cannot escape this place.”

“We will take care of it.”

“Do you think that wearing a mask makes you look like something?”

“Don’t even think about running away.”

Three demon wolves rushed at me.

and.

Kwaaang!

It bounced out faster than the speed at which it rushed.

The demon wolves lost consciousness and were pinned to the wall.

“That’s great. I had no intention of letting you run away either.”

Now, let’s start the wolf hunt.
