late night.

There was a group of people moving stealthily in the dark night when everyone was asleep.

Pulling a huge wagon, they moved to Count Millennium.

“By the way, chief. Are you really okay?”

“what?”

“No, it is. Millennium is famous for being more vigilant than other places. Besides, the Count over there is a great wizard.”

“therefore.”

William waved his hand in annoyance.

“no. If you said this much, shouldn’t you understand roughly? How are we going to break through the barriers that the great wizard set up and get inside!”

“well.”

“No, what bullsh*t is that ‘well’! How can we break through that barrier! To break through that barrier, you need at least a 7th Circle or higher wizard!”

“okay. Got it. Why are you screaming like this at night?”

“No, why are people so carefree? Did you move your base and move your mind?”

The woman who was talking to William beat her chest in frustration.

Contrary to the woman’s reaction, William remained unconcerned.

“Just shut up and let’s go. Is there any way? Did you see me move on something I wasn’t even sure about until now?”

“It is not… .”

The woman nodded at that.

As he said, William is a calculating person.

He was the kind of person who would never do something if he didn’t think it was possible.

“Is there really a way?”

“uh. So please, let’s go quietly for as long as we go. The others are quiet, but why are you the only one scolding me like this?”

“… okay.”

The woman nodded and returned to where she had been standing.

William glanced back at the woman and moved his gaze to the front of the road.

“Millennium… You really come to the millennium.”

He murmured softly, as if very interested.

I never thought I would come to the millennium estate after I was born.

He was born in a poor village and grew up without parents.

Poverty was his friend, and hunger was common.

The most important thing to him was money first, and money second, so third was the network that called for money.

‘It’s a relationship… .’

Among them, William thought that his connections were far from him.

No nobleman wants to be friendly with himself who is so dirty.

A relationship between a master and a servant who pay money and pamper rather than become friendly.

I thought it was just that much, so I did anything to make more money.

“It’s fun.”

He came to such a self and offered to be his back, and now he even made a place in the count’s family.

I felt an overwhelming feeling that is difficult to describe in words.

I strongly thought that if I held on to this line somehow, I would be successful.

It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such a strong feeling.

“Uh, boss. arrived.”

“yes.”

The city walls were visible.

I came to a place far away from the gates of the city on purpose.

You had to go through this to get inside.

“I thought you were here… .”

I checked every nook and cranny of the wall.

The outer wall was full of various scratches as if there had been an attack by monsters.

“found.”

As he groped the outer wall, he put his hand into the smallest, roundest of the flaws.

Click.

With the sound of a button being pressed, the walls began to open.

“Captain, what is this?”

“How the hell do you know this?”

The sight was so astounding that even his intelligence-gathering men were startled and asked urgently.

No one knows that the castle walls are equipped with such a device.

If anyone knows, the architect who designed this urban structure, the Earl of Millennium, and a few others are all involved.

“Quiet. Anything to get the attention of the guards?”

“Sigh… !”

At his words, his subordinates hurriedly covered their mouths.

William shook his head and checked the size of the open side door.

It is 3m high and a little over 2m wide.

One wagon was big enough to fit in.

“Go in slowly. Don’t make a sound.”

At William’s beckoning, his men pulled the wagon inside.

***

They were called to the side door made to evacuate in case the gate was breached.

It is also a place that is not used now, and people who know this place are rare, so there were no people who came to visit.

Especially at night like this, no one wanders the streets.

In addition, the location of the side gate is the corner of a slum that exists everywhere.

coogu palace.

As they waited for them with their backs against the building, they soon heard the sound of the walls opening.

“… not.”

I heard William’s voice.

Several people are entering with the sound of a carriage being pulled.

“Now you are here.”

“Uh, how is this?”

William opened his eyes and looked at me.

It’s a face I never thought I’d come out to meet.

He looked at me bewildered and led the party inside.

“How, what, how? It’s because I live here.”

coo goo-

The gate in the castle wall was closed and everyone glanced at the gathered wild dogs.

It was a very small number of about twenty people in total.

I’m sure there are dozens of point organizations.

Are you controlling that many things with just that amount of people?

‘Well, it’s not called the Dark King for nothing.’

This was possible because he had excellent skills in managing people and information.

“Are you going to stand there blankly like that?”

“ah. Greetings. Le, who is looking after us… .”

He glanced at me and muttered.

It looked like he hadn’t revealed that I was Raymond Millennium.

Otherwise, there was no way I wouldn’t say my name.

No matter how much I told them to keep my identity a secret, to keep it a secret even to my subordinates.

“This is Raymond Millennium. Everyone has heard about my rumors, so there is no need to introduce who I am.”

At my words, their complexion changed.

From anticipation, excitement, and worry to negative emotions such as passion and surprise.

I was used to such reactions, so I didn’t take it seriously.

It’s my impression. You can change it gradually as you get to know it.

“L-Raymond, that mad dog!”

“crazy! I never thought I would see Raymond-sama!”

However, the reaction was different from what I thought.

As if they had met a role model, they ran quickly and stood in front of me.

And as they hold my hand, they start to introduce themselves one by one.

As many of them started talking at once, I couldn’t hear their names or their words properly.

But the mixed voices were noise itself.

“William.”

I turned my gaze away from those who were holding my hand and looked at William and called out in a low voice.

“… ! hey hey! Get off now!”

He hurriedly approached and began to stop his men.

Even so, those who did not fall calmed down by hitting the back of the head.

I spoke to William in a twinkling, burdensome gaze.

“Did you organize it properly?”

“Yes. I cleaned out most of what was there.”

“For the most part… Are there things you don’t want to sort out?”

“Because I need to get information for Raymond-sama.”

He nodded.

You have to use the point organizations there to get information.

“And wild dogs are all of us. As long as there are people here, the place is no different from a wild dog.”

“uh. yes.”

He nodded at his proud words and turned around.

Then he walked away, telling them to follow him.

I heard a sound following me from behind.

“I’ve been thinking about what you guys have to do. But to be honest, this place is over-secured. So it’s hard to find a suitable place.”

It is the realm of the Archmage.

It is impossible for another organization to enter a place like this.

Wild dogs can settle here because of the Count’s tacit consent.

“So I looked for a good place, and there was no need to worry too much. Because there was a suitable place for you guys nearby.”

“… Where is it?”

Perhaps he became uneasy at my words, he clung to me and asked.

I smiled and continued.

“A place out of sight of the guards. What comes to mind when you think of a place where the fist is closer than the law?”

“… It is a slum.”

“right. You got it right.”

he stopped walking

Looking back at him, his face was hardened.

slums.

No one voluntarily enters and lives in a place where beggars, vagabonds, and outlaws live.

Those living in the slums were all fugitives driven out by the people.

Who would want to live among them?

“Why are you in a slum?”

“I told you. It is the best place.”

“no! So, why the hell… !”

It was the first time I’d seen him so angry.

Well, I must have been angry too.

Bringing someone from a well-to-do life means to live in a beggar’s den.

Who wouldn’t be angry

“Because I don’t know your heart. Follow me quietly.”

“this… !”

He was about to shout something, but took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

When I say this, I know there is something.

So he calmed down and followed me.

When he reached the center of the slum after walking for a long time, William’s anger disappeared and he hardened in surprise.

“this… A slum?”

A man’s murmur, full of amazement.

I turned to them and asked.

“How about it, don’t you like it?”

“This… .”

In front of them was a neat mansion that was not suitable for a slum.

What’s even more amazing is that when you look at it from a distance, it doesn’t look much different from other buildings in the slums.

It was only by looking closely that I could tell that this mansion existed.

A combination of optical illusions and magic.

No one would have imagined that a place like this could exist in a slum.

“This is not the end. Let’s go inside.”

As if possessed, they chased me inside.

The mansion, which had a total of three floors including the basement, had over twenty rooms.

In addition, there is a small exercise room in the backyard where you can train your body.

It was clear that it was a luxurious facility that could not be compared to the pub they used.

After I told William to get ready, I immediately found out and called the architects.

“how. Do you not like this?”

“… no.”

William shook his head.

The facilities of the mansion he saw were to the point of wanting to have them, even considering that they were in the slums.

“thank you. Thank you for writing it well.”

He bowed his head to me as if he had no complaints anymore.

Bend over as much as possible seems to have liked the mansion quite a bit.

“I have to work harder from now on. Shouldn’t there be something in return as much as you give?”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“And this.”

He took a pouch from his pocket and handed it to him.

A pouch containing half of the jewels you received from the Mercenary King.

When he opened it, he was amazed and passed out.

“Now is it? I’ll need some time to organize, so I’m going.”

“ah… ! Wait!”

He hurriedly grabbed me as I was about to leave and said to me.

“You should hear what I know.”

“If it’s not important, let me know at once later.”

“Important.”

I nodded my head at his firm voice.

He told his subordinates to pack up and moved to one place with me.

“I have less bad news and worse news. Which would you like to hear first?”

“Is there any good news?”

“Yes.”

“… The lesser bad news.”

“There is a problem in the north.”

Bombs exploded from the start.
