World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 206 Why are you touching that? (2)

The GM team that successfully completed their surprise attack on the top of the pie.

Jegyu, who annihilated everyone, including Apple and Lemon, was shocked to see the identity of the items they were moving.

“This is...?”

[Cerberian Skull - Legend]

The skull of a vicious red dragon that is only talked about in legends. Due to the mana accumulated over thousands of years, it boasts the strongest hardness and highest mana conductivity among dragon bones. If processed well, it will become the best material to make the best weapon.

Weight - 2.5t

A large object covered in thick blankets. Jegyu's head began to spin complicatedly when he realized that the item the Pi Merchants wanted to protect until the last moment of his death was the skull of the red dragon that had recently caused a great deal of attention.

“I was wondering why you resisted so fiercely... Is this why you did it?”

Even though it was a battle with no chance of winning, the Pi Merchants Company resisted fiercely and responded. However, it was only after confirming the true identity of the goods they were transporting that Jegyu could understand why.

“Wow... Awesome! How much is this?”

“Ow... Dragonborn... so many?”

“How much can I get for it?”

“It must be worth calling. It's not an item you can get if you want it in the first place.”

Even those belonging to the top of GM or mercenary users hired for a short time are looking around at the grayish-white giant skull with a little reddish eyes full of greed. Seeing that, Jegyu gave an order to his attendant.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and pick up some stuff. Tighten the mouth of the users.”

“I see.”

His assistant, who hurriedly ran out at Jegyu's words and began to rectify the situation by dispersing the murmur. Someone approached Jegyu, who was watching the process from afar.

“I wondered if you asked me to lend you my strength for revenge... but it was truly unusual.”

Count Fabine, a middle-aged knight wearing antique armor. A noble and sword master of the Harmel Empire, which dominates the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia, he said with excitement on his face.

“I didn't expect this, but...”

Jegyu, who didn't know that the item the pie group was carrying was a huge amount of dragon bones. However, Count Fabine made a strange expression at his words, but soon muttered that it didn't matter.

“If you didn’t know, you must be a very lucky man. I mean, the raiding guild was carrying the Dragon Bones. The duke has been watching your company carefully, and he'll probably be very surprised if he reports on this. Oh and .....”

Count Fabine, who eagerly gave him all sorts of compliments. However, to Jegyu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, not a single word of his story came into his ears.

‘The fact that this skull is at the top of the pie means that a user named Dex is involved...' An

incident that shocked people all over the world, and a catastrophe that made Japanese users gnash their teeth and tremble.

Baylan Incident.

The name of the first revealed dragon, Kervenian, was clearly written in the item description window, so Jegyu was able to figure out the source of this dragon skull that the top of the pie had at once without any other confirmation.

A user who has recently been heating up Arfandia and receiving great fame and attention from users.

First Dragon Slayer.

The lord of the black panties(?).

Dex.

Of course, because he had a very bad relationship with GM, Jaegyu couldn't look at him very well, but seeing the way he showed when hunting dragons and the fact that he was very popular with other users, he shouldn't be touched easily. It was no different from being at risk.

‘How is it...?'

Contrary to what was expected, Jae-gyu went beyond the top of the pie and even provoked people who should not be touched. It wasn't intentional, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to worry about the disposal of this skull that came into his hands. ‘

It's unacceptable to quietly return the item, but it's a dangerous item to hold while looking for a suitable seller...'

‘s huge item. So when he thought of Dex, who would come running after realizing that his belongings had been stolen, Jagyu knew better than anyone else that he had to dispose of these things as quickly as possible.

“Anyway, it's not enough to deal with that guy with force... But even if he calmly returned it, he wouldn't be the guy who would easily back down, so he'd definitely try to retaliate.”

As a merchant, Jegyu knows very well that it is an item with astronomical value to just return. So he had no choice but to worry. Should I return the item to the top of the pie or the user called Dex and lie down flat and ask for forgiveness, or should I dispose of the item as quickly as possible and wipe my mouth?

“The upper lord has completely recovered the goods. It is now transportable.”

While Jae-gyu was contemplating his next move, the assistant who finished all the clean-up. At his words, Jaegyu suddenly raised his head and took a look at the huge skull the size of a house.

“Count Fabine.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

Count Fabine questioned Jegyu's serious-looking face with a curious look. Jegyu asked him.

“Could I see the Duke of Diern as soon as possible?”

* * *

The Harmel Empire, located in the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia, was a powerful nation that exerted enormous influence over the entire continent based on its powerful military power and huge territory.

[Long live the Harmel Empire! Long live the Darkin Emperor!]

The Darkin Emperor who reliably ruled the huge empire with a powerful royal authority and excellent military power to the point of being called the iron-blooded emperor. The empire he built truly greeted a golden age unprecedented in history, and everyone achieved a peaceful and peaceful era.

But...

he was weakened by the passage of time. In his illness, which was so difficult to move that he did not fit the title of emperor, a fierce invisible war broke out in the imperial family, the heart of the empire.

The darkin emperor who did not appoint a crown prince and did not give up the position of emperor. And two children aiming for his place. When all kinds of conspiracies and secret plans began to unfold among the high-ranking nobles who started lining up for the two, a huge invisible confusion began to rise. The Duke of Diern couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the sudden guest from Count Fabine.

“...You've brought some really great stuff.”

The massive dragon bones that filled the backyard of his mansion. The first time I saw him, I couldn't believe it, so I checked him two or three more times. The Duke of Diern had no choice but to believe it after seeing the reaction of the exclusive wizard who was extremely excited and salivating at the skull.

The fact that this skull brought to him is the skull of a real dragon that only appears in legends.

“First of all... I heard that the source of the item is not legitimate...”

“That's right.”

The Duke of Diern, who has already been reported to Count Fabine. In response to his question, Jegyu frankly admitted that the skull was stolen without the slightest hesitation.

“...Shameless. You stole someone else's stuff that wasn't yours and brought it to me.”

The Duke of Diern muttered contemptuously, looking at Jegyu's words. However, despite such an irritating provocation, Jegyu did not waver in the slightest and answered his words with a smile.

“Isn't it true that even stolen goods are coveted? Seeing that he didn't throw me away even after knowing all the facts before and after meeting me, I can see that the duke has a lot of interest in this item.”

The Duke of Diern, who was trying to open up the rules. However, as if he didn't like his attitude of docilely passing it over as if he wasn't happy and even attacking him, he didn't hide his uncomfortable expression and rather threatened him.

“You're arrogant... I can make a deal with you right now by tying you up and returning this item to its original owner.”

There are reasons and justifications for doing so. For a noble aristocrat, punishing the thief and returning the stolen goods would have been a way to raise honor and clean up the transaction, but Jegyu was sure he wouldn't.

“Do you really think so?”

“What do you mean?”

“You know how stealthily they were moving this item. They were moving so secretly that no one knew about them until I struck them.”

“.....”

Although he didn't know the exact reason, he knew for sure that they were heading to the Dwarven city of Sands of Forge through an insider. He said with a relaxed smile.

“I don't know what the top of the pie is for sure, but one thing is for sure. They categorically never intended to bring this Dragonborn into the arms of the Harmel Empire.”

The Dragon Bone, a legendary material used to create powerful weapons with astronomical value and absolute strategic weapons.

Even a very small amount of Dragon Bone and even a single Dragon Bone weapon can completely change the battlefield. How does such a large amount of Dragon Bone flow into a specific country?

This was a serious threat to the security of the Harmel Empire.

The Duke of Diern made a serious expression when he thought about it. Jae-gyu asked him again, as if to kill him.

“Still, would you really risk that chance and arrest me and return this object to its original owner?”

The Duke of Diern was silent for a long time at those words. He asked Count Fabine, who was standing next to him.

“Is what this adventurer is saying true?”

“yes. From what I've confirmed, it's been moving incredibly covertly. They received supplies from outside, and were deliberately moving secretly in places where people were sparse and out of our surveillance as much as possible.”

“That's right...”

The Duke of Diern closed his eyes at Count Fabine's assurance and began to ponder something. Not long after, he looked at Jegyu and said.

“Adventurer, I understood your suggestion well. It was well worth considering, and to be honest, you're a mean merchant with no honor, but you're very good at teasing those three tongues.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“But... they don't talk about the price for handing over this item to the Empire. say exactly What do you want from me... this empire in return for handing over this enormous dragon bone?”

The Dragonborn, which does not exist as a general market price.

In particular, in the case of a whole dragon bone that completely maintains its shape, rather than fragments such as some bone fragments, it has never historically existed, so calling its value literally was no different from the price. In other words, things that do not have a market price. When asked what he wanted in return, Jaegyu said urgently as if he had waited.

“Please give strength to our upper ranks.”

“Power...?”

The Duke of Diern tilted his head, not understanding exactly what Jaegyu said. To him, Jaegyu began to explain the big picture he was drawing.

“Certainly, the guild guild and the original owner, who took the item, will move to get the dragon bone back. At that time, let the Empire protect our caravan. And ask our caravan for the goods this empire and the imperial family need. Then we will supply those items by any means possible.”

“That means... Are you asking for immunity from your theft and permission to supply the empire and the imperial family?”

“That's right.”

Jegyu's proposal to give away something of great value. Of course, for the GM and Jagyu, it was an opportunity that would never come again, and it was a great opportunity that was like a bridgehead for tremendous growth. He said with a satisfied smile.

“You seem to know your situation and position very well. good night. I will accept your offer.”

“thank you. But let me tell you one thing: the owner of this item, an adventurer named Dex, is a very powerful person. Even if you don't know, you'll definitely try to get this thing back, so be prepared for this...” ”

Are you ignoring the power of the Empire now?”

Jae-gyu tried to warn him as much as possible as a seller of stolen goods. But perhaps because of his pride, the Duke of Diern cut him off and said in a cold tone.

“Compared to a humble merchant like you, don’t worry about being insignificant. The great Harmel Empire is not a place that can be threatened by a single adventurer.”
