Trash of the Count’s Family

.

This was why Cale found it easy to deal with Alberu.

There was no need to explain things in detail to him.

“You are correct, your highness. I went through the records in the Directory.”

Cale then calmly explained everything he learned by going through the records.

“…And that is it.”

The hypothesis that the White Star might be the first Mercenary King.

The hypothesis that the Directory might really be a record of ancient powers.

Alberus expression looked heavy after hearing all of that. …Cale Henituse.

His eyes headed toward the tired Cale. So, what is it that you need?

The corners of Cales lips slowly went up.

This was why it was fun to work with the crown prince.

“Seven days and approximately 9,889 record books.”

Cale closed his eyes.

His eyelids were shaking. What is that?

“That is how many books I read.” …What?

Alberu finally managed to see the bookshelf Cale was leaning against, as well as the numerous bookshelves behind him.

He continued in a cold and emotionless voice.

“I acquired information from 9,889 of 45,788 total books.”

Cale still had his eyes closed.

However, numerous records were going through his mind like pages in a book.

“There were a total of 31 people with ancient powers in those 9,889 records. 29 of them are determined to have passed away. Four of them had water attributes, nine had wind attributes, six had fire attributes, one had wood attribute and 11 had other attributes.”

Mercenary King Bud subconsciously gulped.

Cale was the only one who could talk right now.

“The first record of someone using an ancient power was about Lisetter, an archer. Born approximately 962 years ago in the northern part of the Eastern continent. Died 901 years ago at the age of 61. He had a wind attribute ancient power.“

‘Its hot.

Cale was feeling hot. However, he did not stop talking.

“Second, Chaaru, a swordsman. Born 954 years go on a southern island. Died 930 years ago at the age of 24. She had a water attribute ancient power. And the third……”

Bud brushed the back of his hand.

“The seventeenth person, Elsren, a spearman. Born 781 years ago in a free city. Died 740 years ago at the age of 41. He had a fire attribute ancient power. The eighteenth……”

He had goosebumps all over his body.

Cale was bringing up every person within the 9,889 books he read who had an ancient power.

Cale ’s confident voice that continued without any hesitation made him believe Cale was not bluffing.

“The thirty-first person, Inkter, a fighter… Year of death, unknown. Water attribute ancient power.”

Cale looked toward Alberu after mentioning the final ancient power wielder before seeing Alberu start to speak without any hesitation. I will gather records of people with ancient powers on the Western continent.

The corners of Cales lips started to go up again.

The crown prince looked full of disbelief. However, he too had goosebumps all over his body like Bud.

‘He read 9,889 books and memorized all of the information?

Crazy bastard.

A totally crazy bastard was in front of him.

That was why the crown prince bluntly added on. Whats so funny?

The crown prince also felt that it was easy to work with Cale. I need to gather information on ancient powers, but it looks like you guys need to do the opposite.

Bud ’s body flinched at that moment.

Cale looked toward Bud.

“Sigh.”

Bud let out a sigh before starting to speak.

“It looks like.”

If the White Star was the first Mercenary King, it was very likely that he had stealthily infiltrated this place many times.

That was why he needed to make up his mind.

“Damn it!”

Alberu flinched.

It was not because the Mercenary King suddenly shouted.

He understood why Bud would feel that frustrated. There was a different reason he flinched.

“Damn it! I cant say it while I ’m sober!”

Click!

He opened a bottle of alcohol. The Mercenary King then started to chug.

Cale understood the look Alberu was giving him.

‘Where did you find such a person……?

That seemed to be what Alberus gaze was saying.

“Kaaaa!”

Bud one shotted a whole bottle before starting to speak.

“This place, this place! Yes, this place!”

He seemed to be shouting to himself.

”We will blow it up!”

Bud looked toward Cale and continued to shout.

“Well make it so the White Star can ’t come here! We will move the Directory and blow this place up! Kahahahahah! Then he won ’t be able to find the Directory in the future even if he wants to do so! Kahahahahah!”

He was laughing in a refreshing manner.

“Kahahahah! Blow it up! Destroy everything!”

Cale looked away from Bud with a stoic expression.

Bud was not wrong.

If the White Star really was the first Mercenary King, then it was a good direction to move the Directory and blow this place up.

“Soob, it doesnt make sense that I, the Mercenary King, am going to destroy the first Mercenaries Guild building and this records storage place, sob, but I have to do it.”

Bud then looked toward Cale and continued to speak.

“Who will do it if I don ’t?”

The White Star knew about the powers of Cale ’s group.

He especially knew about Cale ’s ancient powers, as well as the strengths of the main strong individuals such as Choi Han and Eruhaben who showed themselves in the past war. He would quickly realize that Cale was in the Eastern continent if he saw the slightest traces of their group.

He needed to avoid that.

Bud had mixed feelings about destroying this Mercenaries Guild building with his own hands, but he had no choice.

It was at that moment.

“I will destroy it.”

Cale flinched.

There was a person putting a cold towel in Cale ’s hand and looking at him.

Cale wiped the sweat off of his arms with the towel before starting to speak.

“…Ron?”

Ron, his servant. Ron was the one who was stepping up to destroy the Mercenaries Guild building and this records storage place.

“Young master-nim.”

He smiled toward Cale.

“Ive never been in the front lines. Would there be anybody who knows of me?”

Ron and Beacrox had never fought in the front lines during the Western continent ’s war.

“Plus, aren ’t all of the Arm members who realized I was a servant dead?”

The members of Arm who realized his identity and made him lose his arm had all died during the combined battle with the Whales.

He was only known as Cales servant to those who do not know Cale well.

“Young master-nim.”

Ron had not just been playing around in the Eastern continent during this time.

He trained himself over and over during this time. He didnt just sharpen his sword, instead, he had sharpened and trained himself to strike his enemies hearts.

“I think this is a good time to do it.”

It was finally time.

It was time for him to step into the front lines and help Cale.

In addition.

“I think it is a good time to reveal the return of the Molan household.”

It was time to use the fire inside of him that Cale had helped reignite.

Most of the Eastern continent knew about Arms battle against the Mercenaries Guild.

But what if an unexpected variable appeared?

There didnt need to be many variables.

All that was needed was a small but sharp dagger that nobody expected.

“Molan, Arm, and the Mercenaries Guild.”

The Molan household would be the dagger.

“Lets make this a three-way battle.”

They would help shake up the balance of power in the Eastern continent.

Ron continued to look at Cale as he added on.

“Son, am I right?”

Beacrox responded back with a stoic expression.

“Yes you are, father.”

Cale could see that the benign smile had disappeared from the old mans face to reveal a cold smile.

The eyes on the face that was full of wrinkles and the head full of white hair was burning passionately.

“He agrees with me, young master-nim.”

His voice was warm.

Cale smiled back.

‘This vicious but smart old man.

He could clearly tell that one of the reasons that Ron had stepped up was for Cale and the others.

Ron was the one who Cale could trust more than anybody else right now.

“Ron, wasnt your duty to remain next to me?”

“That is what I am doing.”

Cale started to laugh at Ron ’s response. Similar people have gathered together.

Alberu started to grumble.

“Crown prince, youre smiling like that again! You have a wicked smile on your face! Lets show it to the White Star!”

Alberu slowly stopped smiling after hearing Raons shout. Previous ChapterNext Chapte
