Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 104

Episode 104:

Late at night.

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

Pulling a huge wagon, they moved to Count Millennium.

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

“what?”

“No, that’s right. Millennium is famous for having stricter security than other places. Plus, the Count over there is an archmage.”

“so.”

William waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

“no. If I’ve said this much, shouldn’t I just understand it? How can we break through the barrier set up by that great archmage and get inside?”

“well.”

“No, what kind of bullshit is that ‘Jal’! How can we break through that barrier? “To break through that barrier, you need a wizard of at least the 7th circle!”

“okay. I knew. “Why are you screaming like this at night?”

“Why are people so carefree? “After moving their headquarters, did they also move their spirit?”

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

Unlike the woman’s reaction, William remained calm.

“Just shut up and let’s go. There must be a way to everything, right? “Did you see me moving on something I wasn’t even sure about?”

“That’s not right…”

The woman nodded at those words.

As he said, William is a calculating person.

He was a person who never did something unless he thought it was definitely possible.

“Is there really a way?”

“uh. So please, let’s just go quietly while we’re on our way. “Why are you making such a fuss while the others are quiet?”

“…okay.”

The woman nodded and returned to where she originally stood.

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

“Millennium… we really have come to the millennium.”

He muttered quietly, as if he was very interested.

I never thought that I would end up in the Millennium Territory after I was born.

Born in a slum, he grew up without parents.

Poverty was a friend and hunger was common.

The most important thing to him was money first, money second, and thirdly connections that would bring him money.

‘It’s a connection…’

William thought that the connections among them were far from him.

No nobleman wants to become friends with someone who is so filthy.

A relationship between a master and a servant who gives money and exploits each other rather than becoming close friends.

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

“That’s fun.”

He came to me and offered to be my friend, and now he has even created a position for me in the count’s family.

I felt an overwhelming feeling that was difficult to explain in words.

I had a strong feeling that if I could somehow hold on to this line, I would succeed.

It’s been a long time since I felt this strong of a feeling.

“Oh, boss. arrived.”

“okay.”

The city walls were visible.

I deliberately came to a place far away from the city gates.

To get inside, you had to go through this.

“I said it was here…”

I looked at every corner of the castle wall.

The exterior wall was full of scratches, as if there had been a monster attack.

“found.”

As he was groping the outer wall, he put his hand into the smallest and roundest of the flaws.

Sweet.

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

“Captain, what is this?”

“How on earth do you know this?”

The sight was so surprising that even his subordinates who were collecting information were surprised and asked urgently.

No one knows that this device is installed on the castle wall.

The only people who know are the architect who designed this city structure, Count Millennium, and a few other people involved.

“Quiet. Is there anything you can do to attract the guards’ attention?”

“Sigh…!”

His subordinates quickly covered their mouths at his words.

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

It measures just over 3m upward and 2m sideways.

It was large enough to accommodate one wagon.

“Go in slowly. “Don’t make a sound.”

At William’s hand gesture, his men went inside, pulling the wagon.

***

They were called to the side door that had been made for evacuation in case the castle gate was breached.

It is a place that is no longer in use, and few people know about it, so no one came to visit.

Especially at night like this, there are no people wandering around the streets.

Moreover, the location of the side door is in the corner of a slum, which exists everywhere.

Coogugung.

As I waited for them with my back against the building, I soon heard the sound of the castle walls opening.

“…not.”

William’s voice was heard.

With the sound of a carriage being pulled, several people are coming in.

“It’s finally here.”

“How can we get here?”

William looked at me with wide eyes.

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

He looked at me confusedly and let the group in.

“What is the how? “I came out because I live here.”

Kugugu –

The gate to the castle wall closed and everyone looked at the gathered wild dogs.

The number of members was very small, about twenty in total.

I know that there are more than dozens of point organizations.

Are you saying that they are controlling so many things with that many people?

‘Well, he’s not called the King of Darkness 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. Les, who is looking after us….”

He glanced at me and hesitated.

It seemed like I hadn’t revealed that I was Raymond Millennium yet.

Otherwise there was no way I wouldn’t have said my name.

No matter how much I told you to keep my identity a secret, you kept it a secret even from your subordinates.

“This is Raymond Millennium. “Everyone has probably heard about me, so there’s no need to introduce who I am.”

Their expressions changed at my words.

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

Those reactions were familiar, so I ignored them.

My impression is that I can change it gradually as I get to know it.

“Les Raymond is that crazy dog!”

“crazy! “I never thought I would see you, Raymond!”

But the reaction was different from what I expected.

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

Then, they hold my hand and begin to introduce themselves one by one.

When several people started talking at once, I couldn’t hear their names or their words properly.

The voices mixed together were noise itself.

“William.”

I turned my gaze away from those who were holding my hand and wouldn’t let go, looked at William, and called softly.

“…! Hey hey! “Get away now!”

He hurriedly approached and began to stop his men.

Still, those who did not fall were calmed down by hitting them on the back of the head.

He spoke to William with a twinkling, burdensome gaze.

“You cleaned it up properly, right?”

“yes. “I cleaned out most everything there.”

“For the most part… you mean there are some things that won’t be sorted out?”

“I need to get information for Raymond.”

I nodded.

To get information, you have to use the point organizations that are there.

“And we are the only wild dogs. “If only these people were here, the place would be no different from wild dogs.”

“uh. okay.”

I nodded at his proud words and turned around.

And he walked away, telling them to follow him.

I heard someone following me from behind.

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

This is the realm of the great wizard.

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

The wild dogs were able to settle here because of the count’s tacit consent.

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

“…Where is that place?”

He must have become anxious because of my repeated pauses in words, so he snuggled up next to me and asked me.

I continued with a grin.

“A place where the guards can’t see. When you think of a place where the fist is closer than the law, what comes to mind?”

“…It’s a slum.”

“that’s right. “You guessed it exactly.”

He stopped walking.

When I looked back at him, his face was tense.

Slums.

No one goes to live in a place where beggars, vagabonds, and outlaws live.

Those who lived in the slums were all fugitives who had been driven out by the people.

Who would want to live among those guys?

“Why is it a slum?”

“I told you. “It’s the most optimal place.”

“no! So why on earth…!”

It was my first time seeing him this angry.

Of course, I would have been angry too.

Bringing in someone who has lived a good life means asking them to live in a den of beggars.

Who wouldn’t be angry?

“It’s not because I don’t know your feelings. “Follow me quietly.”

“this…!”

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

I know there’s something there when I say this.

That’s why he calmed down and followed me.

When he walked for a long time and reached the center of the slum, William’s anger disappeared and he became shocked and stiff.

“This is… a slum?”

A man’s muttering full of surprise.

I turned to them and asked.

“No matter what, you don’t like it?”

“This is…”

Standing in front of them was a neat mansion that did not fit into a slum.

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

Only when I looked closely did I realize that there was a mansion.

A collaboration between optical illusion and magic.

No one would imagine that there would be a place like this in a slum.

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

They followed me inside as if they were possessed.

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

Additionally, there is a small gym 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 bars they used.

After telling William to get ready, he immediately looked into it and called in architects to create this place.

“how is it. “Do you still hate it like this?”

“…no.”

William shook his head.

The facilities of the mansion he saw were such that he wanted them, even considering that it was located in a slum.

“thank you. Thank you. I will use it well.”

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

I think I really liked the mansion because I bent down as much as possible.

“You have to work harder from now on. “As much as you give, you have to get something in return, right?”

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

“And this.”

I took a bag out of my pocket and handed it to him.

It is a bag containing half of the jewels received from the Mercenary King.

When he opened it, he was astonished and completely lost.

“That’s enough now, right? “I’m going to need some time to sort things out.”

“Ah…! Wait a minute!”

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

“You should listen to what I find out.”

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

“It’s important.”

I nodded at his firm voice.

He told his subordinates to pack up their belongings, moved to a place, and opened his mouth.

“There is less bad news and more bad news. Which would you rather hear first?”

“Is there any good news?”

“yes.”

“…starting with less bad news.”

“There’s a problem in the North.”

A bomb exploded from the start.
