The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 51. Unexpected Incident

Liramus who heard the conversation of the two, felt interested in the topic they discussed.

Coincidentally, he also knew the two, who looked angry named Iras while the one being chased was named Wiro.

In the memories he had, it seemed like the two were good friends and always spent time together.

Although it makes Iras never feel calm.

Iras was originally the type of person who was loner, patient and kind, besides that he was also smart and able to think calmly in all types of situations.

But his life changed after Wiro appeared, probably because both of them were Village people. So as a senior in the Expeditionary Force, he felt sorry to see Wiro being ignored by the other soldiers.

That's why Iras invited him to partner and form his own group, but he began to regret his actions in the past, because when he became friends with Wiro his life began to calm down.

Every day Wiro just makes him angry, with stupid things he often does.

Even because of this, Iras suffered from hypertension that he previously thought impossible to infect his body.

{Both look familiar as usual, but what Wiro said is not entirely wrong anyway... }

It was true that the goblins who had slaughtered the bandits who had set up their base on Mount Torli.

But they don't do it themselves, they get help from other servants.

As for that strange knight, he was indeed not the remaining warrior of the magic kingdom.

But the one who ordered him to attack the warriors of the city of Bacau was the master of the labyrinth, whose incident was the remains of the magic kingdom.

{It looks like the mission they ran successfully. There is no time to relax now, I should focus on completing my first mission as well. It would be a shame if such a mission failed. }

After reminding himself, Liramus began to accelerate his steps towards the private room of General Rick.

************

East of the barracks.

There's a simple two-story building built there, it's Rick's office or private space

'Tok... Geck... Tokkk's'

As Liramus was standing in front of Rick's office, he knocked on his door and slowly opened the door.

"Excuse me. Sorry to bother you." Liramus.

"So, you've returned Axel..., then, give your report quickly!" without a word Rick demanded.

While feeling a hint of anger from the man who was yelling at him, Liramus began to give his report calmly.

“There are many treasures inside that Underground Labyrinth, Even after adventurers plundered it for days, the treasures stored within it never ran out.

If we compare the treasure that is there with the loot that we have so far got, it will be like a drop of water in the lake ”

"Hooohoo? To be more specific, what kind of treasure was there? ” says Rick

He looked very interested after hearing the report that his adjutant had said.

His entire attention was focused on the treasure, he did not care about the lives of his men who had been sacrificed to obtain the treasure.

"It ….."

Liramus took off the small waist bag that Aaron had prepared for him to carry.

He put the bag in front of Rick, of course we can already predict what it is.

"it was a treasure that we managed to gather while exploring the outskirts of the labyrinth. Unfortunately while we were trying to explore the inside, the monsters that attacked us were too strong and had the other soldiers die telling me off on my own. "

"Yes..Yep..Yeah.., it's their fault for being too weak" said Rick looking unconcerned

{Men bere*gsek this.., now I understand the feeling Axel.} feels.

When Rick opened the bag and saw what it contained, he swallowed his saliva.

He took out something wrapped carefully using a cloth.

It was a jewel, a diamond that was the size of a baby's fist, with a brilliant luster and perfectly cut.

Even dwarves who are experts in handicrafts will find it difficult to imitate the beauty of the diamond.

Rick looked at the diamond with his murky eyes, this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful piece of jewelry, not a single flaw could be found.

Rick placed the jewel carefully on the table, fearing it would damage it. He was absolutely fascinated by the beauty of the diamond.

“There are more. " Said Liramus a little annoyed.

{That's just a little treasure, why should you act that way. He might have a heart attack if he saw the planet Damoras made entirely of jewels. Tch..tch..tch.., This is why people hick looks pathetic}.

Rick who heard the adjutant's words regained his senses and hurriedly checked the contents of the other bag. Of course, there are more gems in there.

Such as: Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, Red Beryl, Alexandrite, Serendibite, Grandidierite, Traaffeite, Orpiment, Stibnite and many others…

There are different types of gems and minerals that are beautifully cut to display their beauty to the maximum.

The brilliant glow they produce proves their worth.

Rick who witnessed the beautiful sparkles of jewels on his desk was blown away once again.

“There are still more treasures inside the labyrinth that are so much more valuable that they make these gems look like pebbles on the side of the road. " said Liramus as he observed the reaction Rick displayed.

"A, what did you say....? "

Rick's jaw opened wide after hearing the words of his aide, he could not imagine what kind of treasure was stored within the labyrinth.

“However, I decided to just bring the gems out because it was easier to hide, besides there were too many adventurers who became rivals there. I'm afraid I'll be in the trunk if I bring too many treasures. '' Liramus continued.

"Fumu." Rick folded his arms after hearing the words of his aide.

He seemed to be thinking about something important.

“If I have this much treasure, I can live with the fickle-foya Capital of the kingdom. If I can make maximum use of these treasures, I will probably be greeted kindly in the kingdom of Aria ”

"That's fine, as expected of Mr. Rick. You have a brilliant plan "Ajudan replied.

Rick had gotten used to seeing this figure of a sycophant, and did not think too much about it.

However, due to Liramus being disguised as his adjutant, he was unable to understand with certainty the meaning of the word being greeted kindly by the Kingdom of Aria.

After feeling satisfied looking at the beautiful jewel, he put it back in the bag and put it in the drawer for a while.

General Rick got up from his chair and walked towards the map that was plastered behind him.

He was thinking of a way to use these treasures as best he could, to give him more benefits.

But Rick didn't know that what he was doing right now was so dangerous, he was turning his helpless back towards Liramus.

{I have to kill him in one deadly blow and eat his brain as soon as possible.}

He placed his hand on the sword that hung his waist carefully, while thinking about it.

although the appearance of the sword was similar to the one Axel had used before, it was actually not an ordinary sword but rather the Magic Weapon given to him by Alice.

That sword had the ability to make anyone who had never previously touched a sword even once could become a first-rate swordsman.

Once this sword is unsheathed, it will not be possible to sheathe it again unless you have killed your target.

When Liramus almost reached the ideal distance to attack, a disturbance suddenly appeared.

"Rick! Are you in !?” Someone shouted loudly.

Without waiting for Rick's approval, the man opened the door to his office without any excuse.

Rick, who was looking at the map on the wall, turned back with a surprised expression.

{Tch... Who is this guy bere*gsek? though a little more my first mission will succeed.}

Upon seeing that his chance had been taken, Liramus cursed the person in his mind.

But as a top actor, he showed perfect acting.

He pretended to look surprised to see the visitor who suddenly entered the room.

A man with an evil-looking skull tattoo on his head slowly walked in.

She had a head that was shaved with plontos and looked to be around her mid-twenties, She had a large body and a hoarse voice.

His appearance really looks like a bandit who often roams on the edge of the Lamas forest.

Every time he moves, you can also see his muscles vibrating. However, it seems that all those muscles are not the result of exercise.

Looking at the emblem engraved on the armor he was wearing, he seemed to have the same rank as Rick.

There were also some men following behind him, looking like his personal bodyguard.

{This person..}.

"Keep out of my face foolish." said Rick, pushing Liramus aside.

after finding out who had actually barged into his office, Rick kindly greeted the man.

"Well, welcome Mr. Jasper. I didn't expect you to visit my place, If you tell me first before coming, I might be able to prepare a lively welcome. Have you completed your inspection? "

"Stop for the bases, I have some important issues that I want to discuss with you" Jasper said

Liramus' mind was cut off as Rick pushed him aside and bowed politely to the person called Jasper.

When he heard the name, he suddenly remembered that he had heard this name from his master.

That's the next target after Rick.

{Jasper..., Is this guy General of Patrol Forces?}

Liramus.

In the past, when Conley leaked information about influential people in the city of Bacau, he explained that there were three generals who were the hands and feet of the city ruler, Julius.

Expeditionary Force General Rick.

General of the defense forces, Hector.

General Patrol officer, Jasper.

Jasper was a general of the patrol force who traveled between villages and towns to carry out routine inspections.

He was the second son of the city lord, but his character was truly not commendable.

{ket: the fruit does not fall far from the tree, father and son are the same. }

While listening to the discussion of the two secretly, Liramus was still confused as to why a person of such caliber seemed to suddenly appear here.

“No, it's different. This matter is too big! ” Rick hurriedly explained.

"Then, do you want to just leave it?" The man is demanding.

Even though both of them were of equal standing, Rick still had to show some respect, as Jasper was the son of the city lord.

Of course, it is not sincere, but only flattery.

However, Rick noticed that there was something strange with Jasper today, so he slightly softened his words to avoid trouble.

“Mr princess who wants to visit Bacau city is kidnapped on the street! … If the kingdom finds out about this. I, no. We will all be responsible for this incident. That's why, please give me your help. “ Jasper explained.

Rick felt very annoyed after hearing his words.

Listening to such a troublesome matter made his previously good mood become extremely bad.

But, he also could not just ignore it, it concerned the matter of the princess's safety.

If something bad happened to her, they would all probably be executed for being negligent while on duty.

On the other hand, Liramus who heard the conversation both sighed due to their lack of loyalty.

He decided to ignore her because he was thinking about what he should do next.

{Should I directly target Jasper? Besides, this will speed up my plan to take control of the city of Bacau. }

While Liramus was busy devising his backup plan, the discussions continued.

"The abduction .. Even though she was only a princess from a small country, who had the courage to kidnap a princess from the kingdom of Liberas?" Rick took a breath.

“I also don't know the person's real identity. But, I recognize the characteristics of the kidnapper. He was a strange knight who had been rumored lately, He was wearing a dark blue Armor with chains hanging on his waist. ” Jasper shares his information.

Liramus who listened to the conversation were both familiar with the traits described by Jasper.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to reveal it.

{The man*the secretary, why did he kidnap the princess and mess up while I was on my first mission.}

Liramus cursed Dustin in his heart.

Even though she had never met him, she somehow started to hate that person.

“P- Anyway! … Please explain all the details of the incident. " Rick said weakly, his head feeling dizzy at this moment.

“Aah.., the story might be a little long. Please listen quietly. It all started a few days ago. "Jasper started talking about how it all started.
