Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 475

 

Use



"One of the Temple Knights, Toraris Sarain."



10 days after parting with the leader


I'll do as I'm told and have a meeting with Viscount John Fimor.



"I'm John Fimor, Lord of Fimor."



He is John Filmor?


It's a lot different from the impression I was expecting.


I’ve heard that his father and brother ruled for the people


He, and the mansion he led us to...



"It's an amazing decoration."



After entering the gate


After entering the mansion


After entering this room


Everywhere is extravagantly decorated.


On the lord's finger is a gold ring with ten large jewels.



"Oh! Do you like jewels too, Toraris-dono?"


"No, it's not like that..."


"There's no need for humility. Extravagance is the taste of aristocrats, and if you're a nobleman who was knighted at such a young age, it's no wonder you're attracted to it."



Chuck is standing behind me, looking displeased.


Beside him, Karan is getting ready.



"I see. Where did you collect this much gold?"


"Oh! Are you interested in that?"


"Yeah"


"It's simple. All you have to do is sell people!"


"...What now?"


"Just between you and me..."



Saying it's just between us, Viscount John begins to speak confidently.



"Did you know that there is a country called the Holy Kingdom on the continent south of the Empire?"


"…Yeah"



I know that much


That's what a 6-year-old learns in geography.



"The country is desperately short of manpower after the war with the Empire."



Surely


In the Holy Kingdom, many adults died due to heavy taxes, oppression, and war.


Many orphans are starving


A large number of adults are needed to take care of them.



"Someone from the Holy Kingdom came to me. They want me to arrange people for them, for which they will pay me money."


"…So, the adults?"


"Hmm? I don't understand what do you mean..."


"Eh?"


"They said they wanted orphans because so many young people had died."



What is this guy talking about?


You sent the children to the Holy Kingdom?


No, did this guy say they were sold?


How do those orphans get by over there?



"Well, before I took over as head of the family, I too suffered from the wastefulness of my father and brother. I can't bear having only three meals a day."


"………Yeah."


"That and this too is the fault of the foolish emperor who pretended that it was the duty of the nobles to protect the lives of foolish people!"


"…I see."


"But I've changed my mind! One of those shabby brats was sold for two gold coins! What a wonderful thing!"


"......"



This guy is no good


He doesn't understand the Emperor's thinking.


He doesn't understand Lute-sama's kindness.



"Girls are especially popular. It helps relieve stress and increase the number of children..."


"You shut up already!"



I was at the end of my patience, but Chuck was the first to move.



"Buhii!"



He took Chuck's fist on his cheek.


A pig pretending to be a nobleman is blown away to the wall while screaming disgustingly.



"Karan"


"I can go anytime..."



Karan is also unusually displeased.



"John-sama!"



The soldiers start moving



"It hurts! How barbaric of you! To think a mere knight would hit a viscount like me!"


"Shut your stinky mouth, pig!"



The pig lets out a small scream at Chuck's angry words.



"H-hiii, kill them! Kill these guys!"



The soldiers draw their swords all at once.


They aim murderous intent at a knight of the Empire.



"………Eh?"



His subordinates draw their swords in front of the pig.


But they are already dead



"W-what?"


"Ha! You're still great at pulling the trigger, aren't you, Toraris?"


"Not really."



I aimed for everyone's brows, but a few of them slipped a little below.



"I'll take care of the people coming towards us, Chuck..."


"Leave it to me."



Chuck says that and breaks the pig's elbow and knee.



"Gggyaaaaahhh!"


"It's harmless now. I'll leave the rest to you, Karan."


"Leave it to me."



Karan replaces Chuck and pulls out a small plastic box.


Oh, are you going to use that today?



"I'm going to take a peek inside your head~"



Inside the box are 20 needles as thick as the tip of a pen.



"It's a little painful, but it won't take more than 10 minutes if you don't move."


"W-what are you planning to do... what's with that needle!"


"It's okay, it's okay~. You won't die~"



One on John Fimor's head


The needle sticks deeper and deeper
