Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer?

Chapter 241

Episode 241 Even in a life like this (4),

there is no way the Demon Knight would have run away for no reason. Deathbringer was troubled by a sentence that everyone who knew even a little bit about the Demon Knight would agree with.

Saying that he is not a person who will run away without a reason can also mean that he can run away if you give him a good reason.

But he is no one else but a demon knight. How much justification do we have to give him to run away?

What justification do I have to give him to make the choice to hide himself?

“Is that you?”

At least it’s not something I came up with after being locked up. That person is not a person who tries to think for the sake of survival, and it is a bit strange to think of a reason that would break his hard-line stance now—if there was such a thing, the person who would solve it immediately was a demon knight.

“yes?”

“The person who took advantage of me.”

So there was probably some outside intervention. This means that there must have been a third party who gave the Demon Knight a new perspective.

“Let’s not waste time talking back and forth. “You know that I and you are from the same class.”

When I asked that question and investigated, the results came out very easily.

An adventurer who caused a commotion in front of the prison where the Demon Knight was imprisoned before he escaped. The meister took delivery of the item at that moment, saying that it was something he had ordered while talking to the devil knight.

As someone who has worked with information for a long time, I can say that it was quite suspicious.

“Huh. A voice that appeared suddenly…”

But finding out that far didn’t mean things would go smoothly.

“Hey kiddo. “In times like this, the job as people on the same level is to respect each other and pretend not to notice.”

As it happened, an adventurer from the same information guild grabbed him by the collar and glued his face to his face. To others, it would have looked like they were fighting, but in reality, it was a tactic to convey their voices as quietly as possible.

Every time the other person spit out one syllable, a breeze touched my cheek.

“I have nothing to say to you, so get out of here.”

It is a double-edged sword that the person you need to obtain information from is a member of an information guild. If the negotiation is successful, you can get more than the average person, but if it fails, you may see the yard completely wiped out so that there is no clue.

Fortunately, this person didn’t have time to sort it out so he gave me the tail… but that’s it. It is clear that the temple must have been questioned and investigated as it had caused such a commotion, but it was obvious just by looking at the way it was walking around unharmed.

He would have kissed Meister without any gaps. It was so perfect that I had no choice but to send it to the temple even though it was so desirable.

“You may be like that, but I am.”

So Deathbringer grabbed his partner by the collar. The only person who let go of his collar to leave was in a funny situation.

A plain face glared at him with furrowed brows.

“There, green ear. I don’t know what you’re doing, but I have some business to do with that adventurer. “Are you going to let go of that hand?”

In the meantime, someone unexpected intervened. It was a meister.

“Are you…?”

“Huh, request?”

Deathbringer wondered why he was here and decided to be happy. That’s because I was already planning on going there to talk to this adventurer.

I saved time by coming from the other side first.

“You were here.”

But does it mean that hasty joy is prohibited?

An unexpected variable appeared again. It was a variable that I never wanted, didn’t need, and didn’t like. The other person probably thinks the same way about him.

“…What is it, a temple? Why again?”

Separately, it seems that Meister feels the same way. He glared at the newly appeared Heretic Questioner Daniel with a disgusted look on his face.

There’s no way that he and the meister know each other, so they’re probably just doing it based on their affiliation with the temple. That damn bastard got better for the first time.

“What is it again, Heretic Questioner? “Has it been decided that it is heresy?”

“…yes? “No, I came because I had something to do with this person.”

Okay, do more. Be more temperamental!

The Deathbringer watched them do what they did without letting go of the opponent’s arm. Unfortunately, the misunderstanding between them did not last long.

If possible, I hoped that the misunderstanding would become so great that I wouldn’t even have to worry about this.

“Why did you come again?”

But the attention has already turned to him.

Deathbringer said bluntly, holding his partner disguised as an adventurer tightly by the collar to prevent him from running away. Daniel’s eyebrows naturally narrowed.

“I came here because I have something to ask you, but more than that, why are you holding someone else’s collar? “I don’t know the situation, so I won’t say anything, but wouldn’t it be better to let go and resolve the issue through conversation?”

You said you wouldn’t say anything, but you already said something?

Deathbringer sneered at Daniel and pursed his lips. I did that even though I knew that what Daniel said, ‘I won’t put it on,’ meant ‘I won’t criticize carelessly.’

“That’s how you see it. “Don’t interfere in my personal life and get out of there.”

There is nothing I can do about it. He hated that guy that much. I hated it because I knew that if the Demon Knight found out that he had run away, I would insult him again, and that I would no longer be able to refute that insult.

It is truly the worst.

“As I just said, I’m here because I have something to ask you. And the situation is too difficult to understand when I tell you not to interfere in my personal life…”

“Hey, it’s good that you two are talking, but what about adventurers? Just as you have business with each other, I also have business with that person, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. Please leave me alone and tell me. I didn’t really do anything wrong, so there’s no reason for me to be caught like this. yes? “Priest.”

At least Daniel doesn’t seem to have heard any news about the demon knight yet… Meanwhile, the meister is anxious to take the adventurer with him.

I don’t know if it was because they were trying to get their words together again or for some other reason, but it was something I couldn’t just wait and see. If they decided to keep silent, the Deathbringer himself would be in trouble.

“You didn’t do anything wrong…?”

“I was just quietly walking down the street when this person started a fight.”

“Is that real?”

“No ha. In this case….”

You could fabricate that the other side was at fault first, but if you did that, people like Byeok Chang-ho might drag you into a place full of priests, claiming to decide right and wrong. That’s all you need to avoid.

Deathbringer gritted his teeth as he faced a terrible situation that was pressuring him from both sides.

“Please be clear. Regardless of your status, threatening an innocent person is…”

“Damn it! “They say there are circumstances!”

“Then, if you tell me…”

“Ah, trying to be nice, you’re just wasting people’s time. Is it okay for a priest to be like this for the people? “Is it okay to hold on to people, waste time, and avoid them?”

Surprisingly, it was Meister who saved him.

“Oh, I’m sorry…”

“Just words? “Wouldn’t the sincerity of an apology be conveyed only if it was shown through action?”

“…How can I do that?”

“I don’t think I came here with an existing appointment, so please go away. We’ll resolve the matter between the adventurer and that idiot ourselves. “After that, let’s meet separately and take care of business.”

“It’s my business, so I don’t mind if you do that, but if there’s a dispute…”

“I’m saying we’ll figure it out between the parties and come to an agreement. So please go away. Because of you, any compromise that could have been made is now being dragged out.”

Strictly speaking, it seems like I stepped forward because I was wasting my time rather than trying to save him, but isn’t a good thing a good thing?

Daniel, who was cornered without even being able to say a single word, awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

“All right. Then, I will come to your accommodation in the evening.”

I shouldn’t go to the dorm today. Deathbringer pledged what to do next. Meanwhile, Daniel left.

“Now then, shall we have a conversation?”

Now, all that remains are the people who each hold information.

“I’ve wasted enough time, so let’s be honest. “Why did you come here in the first place?”

They moved their seats to reduce the chance of losing words. Even though Meister said that it was a noise-eating tool and that it alleviated concerns about hearing, the three people standing blankly on the street are noticeable.

So they deliberately looked for work to lessen the attention of others. It was fortunate that we were working together to renovate the house. Thanks to the presence of the Meister, no one looked strange even though the three of us were together.

“You guys were involved in the escape of the demon knight, right?”

“Why did you also want to call me a heretic?”

“no. “I want to know why the knight Nari left.”

But it was such a big deal right from the start.

Meister was silent for a moment at Deathbringer’s words. An afterimage of the person who guarded the devil knight before he woke up passes through his mind.

I’m sure it’s not a lie.

“I didn’t help directly.”

“Then what was the reason?”

He made a quick decision. I also thought that since I was a green demon who had been with the demon knight for a long time, I might be able to get another clue.

“Now I have to find out.”

“…?”

“There adventurer. Do you know what the item was delivered at that time?”

“I don’t know. “There was no provision in the request for viewing.”

However, it was not sewn properly from the first time. The other person was simply a messenger.

Now, what should we base our guess on? Meister was troubled.

“…Wait a minute, you don’t even know what’s inside? “Didn’t you receive it from that person and give it to the knight?”

I was about to fall out.

“It’s true that I gave it to you instead. But I only knew it was a bundle of paper, but I couldn’t see the contents. “At the time, I didn’t think it would be that important.”

When asked if it was important in the first place, the demon knight did not even properly answer the question. Not by suspiciously pretending not to know, but with sincere concern.

In such a situation, how could he have guessed its value? If I had known that the driver would take it and escape, I would have asked what it was.

“A stack of paper?”

“okay. “It was quite thick.”

But he didn’t know that at the time, so he wondered where he could buy the paper and read it. Considering it wasn’t compiled into a book, it’s probably not a formal thesis.

“What information are you selling?”

At that time, the green ear turned its head to the side and looked directly at the adventurer. There was also a question that seemed somewhat unexpected to the Meister, who had no doubt that the other person was an adventurer.

“As I said just now, there is no such clause in the request, so I don’t know anything…”

“I know and you know that it won’t work.”

“…wait for a sec. “How can you be sure?”

“What.”

“That adventurer will know the contents, and the delivered item is information.”

“…That’s because he’s an information merchant, not an adventurer?”

“what?”

The meister stopped tightening the rope to secure the pole and looked at the adventurer. He only thought that the other person was really an adventurer.

“If you say that that person is thick, it seems like he really sold it well, but what on earth did he sell?”

While he was sorting out his confusion, Deathbringer brushed the adventurer for information. The intelligence merchant frowned again.

“You know… Now that I know everything, I won’t necessarily deny that I’m an intelligence officer, but confidentiality clauses aren’t just for adventurers…?”

“Are you saying it’s a secret that even I can’t hear?”

“Your authority was… the fucking Deathbringer?”

“Tell me if you understand.”

“…But that doesn’t work. “I said no.”

Considering your level in the information guild, you have the right to obtain some information. This is even more true considering the special nature of being with a warrior.

However, Deathbringer snapped his fingers at the opponent’s actions of exercising his right to veto.

Is this really a level of information that cannot be obtained with this position? really?

“How did the demon knight buy that?”

How did the devil knight obtain information that even he could not obtain? No matter how much you contribute to the guild, it won’t be easy. How?

“…I will report it to the guild.”

“what?”

“If the engineer wants to buy information that I can’t get, it must be something serious, and I think it’s closer to corruption.”

If it is something that cannot be obtained even with the position of Deathbringer, it is probably information shared secretly only by the highest-ranking guild executives. There are two cases of handing it over to an unqualified outsider—regardless of what kind of person the Demon Knight is, he is not a member of the guild.

Either the outsider provided some kind of connection – whether it be a connection or a favor – or a guild member who was blinded by money sold it out.

And the latter will never be tolerated at the guild level. This is especially true if it is information that only top executives will share.

“It will take some time to see this because this branch is so sinful… but I think I will be the one laughing at the end.”

In this case, the guild will show its displeasure to the demon knight who bought the information, but he can cover it up somehow. With that mindset, Deathbringer made direct eye contact with the intelligence merchant.

“Does it take long? “Then let’s take it to the temple.”

It was at that time that Meister, who had gathered all his thoughts, added a word.

“yes?”

“If that guy was just a messenger, there would be nothing to hear even if he was tortured… but if he was an information dealer, it would be different. “If you interrogate them, you will have something to spit out.”

“That’s…”

“So let’s send it to the temple. “How can I do this without throwing up in front of the judge?”

Anyway, it’s a shame to sell a member of the information guild to religious people. Just as Deathbringer was about to say that, Meister looked straight at him.

The purple eyes were truly colored and transparent.

“…Wouldn’t that put you in trouble?”

“Why don’t you embroider a little bit? Considering the skills I have, I probably won’t be able to make much money at the temple, right? At most, I would serve the temple for about ten years. I heard it would take a long time to report to the guild? “I can’t stand that.”

That’s a punishment the Meister would hate to receive for the rest of his life. Even though Deathbringer knew that, he pretended to agree. If you do this, the only thing that will be left behind is information.

“Then it just so happened to be good. The Heretic Questioner I mentioned earlier is famous for having good skills. “I will definitely harass the knight Nari… since the demon knight also has a housemaster.”

“…Wait a minute. No? “You’re really not trying to get over it, are you?”

“If you say so, I won’t pass it up.”

“it’s crazy? “This is a betrayal to the guild…!”

“If no one knows, it becomes like it never happened. “You probably know this, right?”

Deathbringer hushed his voice.

“Bemurchen’s intelligence guild is in a state that is no different from annihilation. In other words, even if I hand you over, no one will notice.”

It is not a problem to cloud the perception of the general public. As for temples, it is not difficult to crack down on them as long as they have a connection with the warriors.

He criticized the information dealer, going through every detail. This was possible because the city was in such a mess.

“On the other hand, if you are taken to a temple and reveal information of a level that even I cannot access… if you even have a record of selling it to others before that. “What will the guild do?”

I don’t know which branch they are from, but it won’t look good on them.

“Damn it!”

The person who perfectly understood the beleaguered situation ended up swearing. He also expressed his intention to surrender.

“good. I’ll tell you. Instead, you have to promise that too.”

“which?”

“You will not report what I said to the Intelligence Guild. And only you two will know!”

Deathbringer and Meister looked at each other after hearing the information.

“Okay, let’s compromise.”

“Tell me right away.”

It was time to hear the truth.
