13-7 Scattering Bait

Satou's here Talking about scattering bait, I recall the ti on breakwaters during htened by the fish that reacted furiously to the scattering krill bait

“Sir Pendragon, is this the item that you want to exhibit on the auction the day after tomorrow?”

“The reception period for that one is already over, so I' this for the auction next month”

The older generation viscounts fro at the jewel I've put in front ofeyes

I've codo off a jewel made from Blood Bead there

Of course it's not for boasting or satisfyinghavoc in the royal castle during the lunch break

This Blood Bead was one of the iteot froredient for healing and staic potions

It seeic potion like I'

It's a lesser version of Blood Sphere that I also received together with it, but this Blood Bead itself is quite a rare otten as a rare drop of the Blood Stalker a Empire

I saith my own eyes when Ban and his vah, so I don't feel like it's so that valuable

“I thought this was a Ruby, but this is a Blood Bead right”

“That can't be–The Blood Bead that Bishtal Dukedom has looks more reddish brown doesn't it?”

“I heard that the brighter the red color of a Blood Bead is, the higher quality it is”

“With a Blood Bead this clear, just how valuable is it…”

At the very least, it's valuable enough to dazzle upper ranked nobles of a large kingdom who are used to luxurious items

…It

The reaction was bigger than I thought, so this is probably going to er rumor than planned

It was a bit conspicuous, but it's nothing compared to when I exterminated a [Floormaster], and when I became a viscount

Now then, I'll leave it to the nobles and thethe ru the site for the jewel

Even now, I haven'te first came to the royal capital

I should ht power-leveling in the labyrinth

First, I write some simple plan on the memo pad

I have made one in the labyrinth city mansion, so let's improve that and make a version 2

Next the preparation for the material

I'll cut the exceedingly hard wall of the labyrinth with a holy sword, and use it as the building material

I've stocked up a lot of liquid from tree-type monsters that have powerful adhesion, so there's no problem on that part

In just 30 minutes, I made a seven-meter tall cube structure as the thief trap

I've put three-diether, and various non-lethal traps inside it

The passages is too narrow to stand inside, you can barely able to crawl in it, I've also prepared dead-ends here and there

It's probably going to take around one hour to reach the treasure room if you move in it normally

Thieves that can employ or summon small creatures can probably invade the treasure room easily, but I can just prepare treasures that can only be th

Next I just have to bury this in the garden of my mansion in the royal capital

I return to the royal castle with teleportation and get back to e from there

It seems I took too much time in the labyrinth, Zensan's one to the labyrinth is now in Earl Seryuu's mansion

After changingin the living room

“Has Zensan gone back already?”

“Yup, there was aher back”

Hency happen?

I should ask Echigoya Firm if there's any information later

Pochi and Taarden show their faces on theof the living room

“Prey~?”

“Master, we caught a suspicious person nodesu”

Apparently, the rumor has shown its effect already

I go to the garden through the back door, and inspect the thief the two have caught

According to AR reading, he's a -armed Ape]

He's probably a remnant of the thieves who attacked us e first arrived in the royal capital

Looking at thefrom this mansion toward the don

I put a marker on it for now, I'll arrest it after the meal

“Now then, suspicious person-kun Why don't we have you talk on whose order you intruded here?”

“H-hreat me will talk?”

“Of course you will–”

I use sound isolation in the questioning

“–Do it”

“Prepared~?”

“Suffering of hell is waiting nodesu”

With in the torture

Inside the soundproof space, laughter of the suspicious person is echoing

In order to help Ta the ic to restraint the air flo the nuo up

The suspicious person gave up after an hour

Looks like he's ht

“–We were ordered by the boss to steal the orbs that were carried by the airshi+p rode by Duke Bishtal y'se I heard that orb-like things were in this Viscount's mansion–”

The suspicious person talks while grasping for breath

Fu for the orbs when they attacked us during our travel to the royal capital…

The people that we captured earlier seems to be the execution unit's leader

I search these guys' boss on the map

…not applicable?

“What's the name of your boss?”

“Ro-Ropo”

I searched that name this time, but I couldn't find it

“Looks like the torture wasn't enough”

I instruct Pochi to break a cheap bronze sith her fingers

The suspicious person insists on his innocence when he saw that

“W-wait! I' a lie!”

His expression looks real, but I shouldn't take the words of a thief seriously

I instruct Tama and Pochi to resume the torture

『Master, Lulu said that the preparation for the crab nabe has been finished』

“Okay, I' back now”

Sound couldn't reach here, so Arisa contacted ic

The nabe isthe thief

I tie the thief with a rope and leave hiets out of the rope, I can just capture hiain when I raid the thief's hideout

“Now then, you two let's have a dinner”

“Aye!”

“Yes nanodesu!”
