The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 74 - Clues Coming By Themselves

"Damn, what did I think when I bought this house?" Gerak cursed under this breath.

When he went out and bought this house for that freeloader, he might have overlooked some of the details.

For example, walking here from this shop took him more than a half-hour on foot alone. Which made communication beyond practical between that blockhead. That´s not considering delivering the items too.

Since carrying multiple boxes of weapons was simply impossible.

Having realized the issue a day after dropping Danzel in this house he face palmed himself of how stupid he was.

With no other choice at hand, he had to rent a carriage and two horses around every four days. The worst part of it was that it came from this money!

Nonetheless, he couldn´t go to complain at that workaholic. After all, he was the one making the money for him!

Even they couldn't do something so shameless...

Opening the door, the first that greeted Gera was the dust that had accumulated in the door.

"Bah! This guy..! I even told him to clean this place up , but nothing has changed since a month ago!"

Beating the dust from these cloths, he went towards the stairs with this key.

*Click

"I swear that I will make him clean up this place for goo-"

Without being able to finish, a grip of cold metal and a blade as long as he was placed an inch away from the neck.

"What will you make me do again?" Danzel behind Gerak said rather ominously.

Processing what was currently happening Gerak became in an instant ghastly pale. With the cold grip and voice behind the one holding the cold blade. He felt like the grim reaper came for him to claim this soul.

Seeing that the Dwarfs legs were shaking slightly, Danzel removed Veren from this neck.

"Hey, don´t make a scene here which I have to clean later on."

Moving towards this bed, Danzel sat down and asked.

"So? Why are you here."

Grasping this chest, Gerak replied rather dispirited.

"Did you have to do that?"

Looking at the serious dwarf, he simply shook shoulders.

"Well, you entered without knocking. Thus, it´s your fault."

`This bastard...I almost died from a heart attack!´

This was the second time experienced such a fear such as it. The first one was on this own damn shop to where the second time was in the house that he damn bough!

But I still couldn´t say anything because he was right. The times that I entered without making my presence knowing he imminently went drew this sword with full of hostility. And I do understand the reason why he becomes so alarmed.

I too would have been if I experienced an attack from assassins.

What he didn´t expect though was him appearing behind him without even noticing him!

`And this overall aura has changed...´

Staring at Danzel, he felt like he was more threatening than he was before.

`Maybe I am thinking too much...´

Shaking the remaining of this fear and calming himself down, he went to business.

"I came here to pick you up. Don´t you remember what I told you yesterday?"

"Ehm...No? Await, was it about the new deal or something?"

"At least you remember that part. Since we are going to find another supplier I guess that you might want to be present there."

"Hmm, wouldn´t that be dangerous?"

"Don´t worry about it, the guys we are making a deal with are this time on the legal side. As long you pretend to be the mercenary that I hired everything would be fine."

Picking our stuff up, Danzel followed Gerak out of the house.

"Well, that I can do. But who exactly are the guys who will make that deal with?" He said while putting this cloak on.

"You should try and remember the stuff that you are being called."

Seeing no reaction, Gerak sights out loudly.

"The deal this time will be with the kingdom himself."

"Huh?"

"To be more precise..."

"The army."

****

Currently in the Administrative Building of the army.

On the upper floor of the building, a man with a dark circle under this eyes was sitting there frustrated.

"Tell me Archman, how long has it been since I issued that order?" The man said while pointing at the papers that he was holding.

"General...it has been already been a month."

*Baahm!

"If it has been a month already, then why haven't I received any news of it!" He peeled out of anger.

Looking at the fist that broke the table surface, Archman said emotionally.

"Sir...the desk is new."

"..."

Looking at the ice-cold glare from the General towards him he racks this brain how to change the subject.

"R-Right! There was a report about how one day after the auction took place, a duo of assassins were found near the slums area. It could be somewhat related to that case."

"Hmmm." He Reached this hand to pick another piece of paper among the huge pile on this desk to read.

"Ah, You mean those two annoying parasites. The investigation here suggests that nothing has been found that could relate to those two cases. They probably hit the end of their road by sticking their hands in a sleeping dragon."

"Other than this report, no further clues were found that could relate to this case..."

Scratching this head, the General raised this hand ready to smash the table again.

*Tock Tock.

"General, I bring important news that I have to report imminently"

Hearing the voice outside the. door, he halted this first advance and called the soldier in with a frown on this face.

"What would be the case soldier? Know that wasting my time will bring consequences"

Unfazed by the soldier by this superior's threat, he handed a sword covered in white cloth.

"That's..?"

"General, in around five minutes ago, a dwarf with a man appeared in front of the building saying to want to make a deal. Considering the recent orders and the item that they gave me. I thought the best action would be to report directly to the general.

Confused by the soldier's speech, he unwrapped the cloth.

Taking a better look, he quickly became flustered.

"T-This is..!"

Staring at the beautifully made blade with some runic letter , this previous tiredness was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are those two people that you told me about? The General asked seriously.

"They should be outside the civilian's area."

"You have done well to report directly to me soldier. Archman, go with him and bring those two into my office."

"Sir, yes sir!"

With the two leaving this office, they generally were left alone.

"To think that they would come to me." The man mumbled to himself.

Heading the surface of the desk to hide the previews damage.

He quietly waited for them to come.

****

"That place sure is huge."

Following the preview soldier with an additional one with Gerak together.

Leaving what the soldier said 'civilian area' and entering the real deal.

I was surprised at how many people wearing practicing with either swing their wooden stores at a dummy or duels.

Just by looking at them, I would guys around 200 people training inside here.

Though some of them were in my opinion pure garbage, they were few who impressed me.

They were some cases where I would say that they had better swordplay than me.

It was clear that those were the training grounds.

Following the soldier, we quickly found ourselves into a big wooden door.

*Tock Tock.

"General! We bought them here."

Getting inside the room, a man gazed at us seemingly full of expectation.

"Please, do take a seat."

With both parties being present.

The start of the agreement began.
