...****************...
In the middle of the dark, narrow hallways, Noelle walked quietly as if she had no weight at all.
Suddenly his body was instantly covered by a long black robe.
Noelle raised her hand and a mask with a strange shape suddenly appeared right above her hand.
He without hesitation directly put the mask right in his eye area while continuing to walk down the dark alleys.
Based on mental calculations and the position of the moon, Noelle could guess that the time should have almost reached midnight.
That means, a few hours have passed since he conducted a brainwashing experiment on Glantz.
And during that time also he had been scraping through various information from Glantz that had been subject to him.
Noelle was struck by the sheer amount of important information Glantz knew. Thanks to that, Noelle so much to know about the intricacies of the city and country that she lives in today.
Surely it is all information that cannot be known by the public.
In addition, Glantz has also told Noelle a lot about her past.
Like, Glantz, Terneth, Luna, and a few others had originally been in the same group when they were still adventurers, but their group is disbanded because one of their members decides to get married and move to a remote village in the south.
Noelle and Olivia are from a remote village in the south of the kingdom, so she is a little surprised to learn that one of the members of the Terneth and Glantz groups actually lives there.
However, he still could not guess who that person was. After all, there was no one who could really be called strong around that village.
Vain was single until he died at the hands of the bandits, so the probability that Vain was a former member of the group was zero.
Noelle could not guess further because Glantz did not even mention the person's name or physical features.
It was none of his business, however, if he knew anything about that person, it would solve a lot of problems.
Because, that person's retirement from the adventurer world was the main source of all the trouble around Glantz.
Based on what Glantz told her, things started to deteriorate after the person retired and left the party.
Internal conflicts are inevitable, and some of them start to become hostile towards each other.
Since their group had reached A-rank, they had a direct connection with many nobles. There were many nobles or great merchants who invested large sums of money in their groups.
However, the conflict between them made the nobles and merchants start withdrawing their money again because they felt that the group would end soon.
And as a result, the conflict became bigger so Glantz had to kill one of its members to solve the problem.
After that incident, their group disbanded and each of them took on a different job.
They drifted away from each other as if they had no relationship from the start.
Only Terneth, Glantz, and Luna still maintain their relationship to this day and are quite active in the adventurous world.
Being a top adventurer and living a luxurious life was Glantz's dream for a long time, his group contained people who had great abilities and were quite popular among the people in various cities.
That's why it has the delusion to be successful with its peers. But the delusion betrayed him.
He really felt disappointed and betrayed when their group had to be dissolved.
While Terneth and Luna had been successful as branch guild heads in the big city, Terneth did not have any abilities he could be proud of other than his fighting prowess.
If he returned to being an adventurer, he would only face the humiliation of many people every day for having killed his own partner, and neither Terneth nor Luna wanted that.
Glantz killed his partner because he was forced to do so, and not because of personal impulse. Even so, such a reason would not be enough to temper the hatred directed at him.
They both wanted Glantz to live peacefully without having to engage with the fight in the adventurer world again.
That way, the bad rumors and rumors about him that had spread widely among the people and nobles would slowly fade away.
He will rebuild his reputation as the owner of the largest ironworks in the city of Eisen.
At least that's the plan of Terneth and Luna. But reality is not as good as they think.
Every day Glantz spends his time just to soak up all the negative emotions he has.
Sometimes he even lost control of his emotions and beat anyone nearby.
Anger, guilt, envy, humiliation, helplessness to make the right choice and being forced to kill his own partner, Glantz tried to hold it all back every day, for years.
As a result, his soul was able to contain all those negative emotions without the slightest damage.
(The story of his past is quite sad, but .. Thanks to all that I got a very good subject .. I was confused about having to thank or apologize to the person who was grounded to create this situation .. )
Noelle was only able to smile wryly while continuing to walk in the middle of the darkness.
Before Noelle left the workshop, she had ordered Glantz to behave normally as he would normally so that no one would be suspicious of her change.
Noelle doesn't know about how good her brainwashing effect is, but she can confidently state that Glantz has really bowed to her.
Now he just needs to do some research.
Noelle continued walking towards the mansion that Terneth used as her home.
Of course Noelle knew where Terneth lived thanks to Glantz easily leaking all the information.
Without him noticing, a bright smile was engraved on his face.
...****************...
When he arrived at the location of the mansion, Noelle would not want to look at the building in amazement.
The mansion that Terneth lived in had such a vast size that it almost matched the size of the large mansion of the Suiren family.
Noelle was not so surprised when she saw such a large mansion, after all she had lived in a large castle for approximately eight years.
However, he still looked at the mansion in amazement as the mansion was built alone right in the middle of the large island.
Although the size of the island is not as big as the others, but the mansion is the only building on the island so it gives the impression that it is a private island that is very luxurious.
Finished admiring the architectural form of the mansion, Noelle immediately wiped away the air of her existence and tried to enter inside through the gate.
(Sopan manganese is preferred.)
Noelle took the position of pressing her feet against the ground, and immediately jumped with inhuman strength.
The leap powered by the physical strength of a vampire had a pretty crazy range.
He easily reached the taper end of the gate which should have been a few meters above the ground.
Noelle made a crouching position to cushion the shock impact of her hard landing.
He landed smoothly and immediately smiled.
(I think I can win the long jump championship easily now .. )
Although he managed to withstand the shock impact of his landing, but the sound produced from his leather boots was simply not able to be muted so one of the soldiers guarding the gate looked puzzled.
"You hear anything? "
One of the soldiers asked his companion who was guarding the gate like him.
His companion looked puzzled for a moment, but immediately shook his head.
"No, what did you hear? "
" ……… I guess it's just my feeling … "
He just shook his head while smiling wryly, then went back to talking to his partner.
"Want to play something? I'm pretty bored."
"But it's still our patrol schedule, right? "
"Forget it, this is the only building on this huge island, and this place is also guarded by many people. No unemployed person is too stupid to go to this place alone. It doesn't matter if we play a little."
"But … "
"Forget about the task. We've been working here as guards for over four years, and during that time, not a single intruder has entered this place. And I don't think there's anyone so stupid as to set foot in the house of guild leader Eisen."
(Did this bastard just insult me? Can I hit him in the face? Can, right? I really wanted to step on the animal dung with my shoes, then step on this bastard's face without cleaning my soles first.)
Her forehead twitched, and Noelle continued to force her smile to refrain from using force.
It would be dangerous if he made them faint or even killed them right now.
Noelle came after all just for investigation, and not extermination.
If this was an extermination, then Noelle would not hesitate to behead the two soldiers at that very instant.
But this is just an investigation, so Noelle has to hold back.
Noelle let out a tired sigh after inhaling a long breath for a moment.
After that, he immediately ran down the garden and reached one of the open windows.
Noelle felt a bit strange when she saw the open window in the middle of the night, but she immediately shook her head to dispel any unnecessary worries.
If something wrong is going on, he just needs to clean it up. That's it and nothing more.
The open window leads him to a spacious kitchen with complete cooking equipment.
Noelle entered and walked down the dark room while looking for directions to leave the kitchen.
And don't forget to pick up some high-quality plates of meat and wine stored in the freezer while looking for suspicious traces.
Although it is not possible to find important clues in the kitchen.
Noelle was just looking for an excuse to pick up some fancy food supplies for free.
Not long after, Noelle made it out of the kitchen and met two large doors that seemed to lead to the living room.
The door was slightly open, so Noelle could peek at what was inside.
But Noelle was immediately startled by what was behind that door.
(Ahhh shit .. Timing is very bad .. )
Noelle with a wry smile stared at the black-robed figure from behind.
He did not expect that there would be any other intruders besides himself targeting this mansion, so Noelle was a little disappointed by his inaccuracy.
However, Noelle still inevitably felt a little sensation *d*eja vu when he saw the figure.
The cloaked figure was wearing a party mask similar to the one Noelle was using, and was reading some of the letters she had gotten from the table.
(For now .. )
Noelle intended to go and look for information from other places first and avoid the living room so as not to cross paths with the figure.
His hopes soon betrayed him.
"?! Who is there?!! "
The figure immediately noticed Noelle's hiding presence and asked spontaneously while pointing a knife at the door where Noelle was hiding.
(Ahh shit .. Wait .. Isn't that sound .. )
" … cryll? "
Noelle subconsciously muttered her name and immediately covered her mouth with her hands while frowning in annoyance.
" … Who is it … "
The figure that Noelle suspected as Cryll looked surprised for a moment, but immediately directed his killing intent at Noelle who was still hiding.
(Job .. )
Noelle's brain works at full speed in a state of panic, trying to find a solution to the problem that just happened.
While cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his lips curved into a defiant smile.
