I Become a Rogue Lord in a World Where Only I Level Up

And the loot.

When we captured the royal capital of Bridget, we acquired [item] in the treasury.

Unfortunately, there were no treasures from the ancient kingdom, i.e., no [item] of the [unnamed sword] class that Roserun kept in his possession.

The ancient Aintorian treasures that were supposed to be shared by the Twelve Families were not in Bridgeto's possession.

Bridget was one of the twelve families, so it was certain that they shared the treasures of the ancient kingdom.

It must have been lost due to negligent management.

Even the king of Bridget didn't use any special items.

Later, when I asked the chamberlain and chief maidservant in Bridget's royal palace, I couldn't find out.

The same goes for other royalty.

Well, indeed, even in Roserun, its importance was left unacknowledged.

It has been a long time since each of the twelve families were founded, so it can't be helped.

It seems to me that the treasures of these twelve families have great significance.

It's some kind of secret, or, given the nature of the game, another perk.

I felt more likely to find the secret than the perk.

I was even more eager to find out, but it's also true that there was no way now.

I had no clue at all.

There might be some clues in Lunan's royal palace.

Lunan's time of demise is drawing to a close. If all goes according to plan, I should get a chance to examine Lunan's hoard, and I can only hope that I'll find some clues then.

Oh well, now that that's out of the way, it's time to distribute the items.

Although there were no ancient Aintorian treasures in Bridget's royal palace, there were a few treasures that were recognized as [items].

Among them, there are two treasures that can increase your ability value.

[Jade Sword]

Force +1]

[Sword made from ancient jade]

Black Armor]

Command +2]

Black increases the dignity of the user]

Since neither of these items were necessary for me, I decided to use them to increase the ability values of my vassals.

I immediately activated the system to display the ability values of all my vassals in front of me.

[Meruja Hadin: armed strength 60, intelligence 57, command 70]

[Bente: martial strength 49 intelligence 38 command 82]

[Zinto: Martial strength 94(+2) Intelligence 41 Command 52]

Yusen: military strength 82, intelligence 69, command 90]

[Given: armed forces 70 intellect 34 command 76]

Rosellen Eurasian: Martial strength 89(+3), intelligence 57, command 95(+2)

Swords can not be used redundantly.

In other words, it can not be used for me using Datong Ren and Jinto using an obscure sword.

Yusen is someone who will play a big role in the future.

The overall ability value is high and the loyalty to me is high.

So it was better to increase the dignity and command of Yusen in black armor.

The sword is a bit of a lost cause.

I decided to keep it for now anyway, because more powerful generals are available as human resources.

If there is an inconvenience, it is that the ability value does not automatically increase because it is not a game in the screen.

It's a world where the very elements of the game and reality are intermingled.

Hayna visited the slavers in the capital.

Even in a world with slaves, trafficking was strictly forbidden as a primary business.

Of course, the story that on the surface.

As in all times, the more forbidden it was, the more the powers that be were attracted to it.

Slavery was also the greatest pastime for aristocrats to stimulate human greed.

In Lunan, where the greed of the aristocracy is shaking the country, there was a fairly large slave-dealer in the dark.

Of course, no slave trader, no matter how well patronized by a powerful class, can operate with impunity.

Their headquarters in the capital was located in a top-secret location.

"Well, well, well.

Although it billed itself as the Droy Chamber of Commerce, it was a group that specialized in the underworld of human trafficking, abductions, and assassinations.

It was also a huge chamber of commerce whose power extended to the entire Lunan and Naluyah.

Gensema, who is the Lord of the Droy Chamber of Commerce, was stationed in Lunan, where the main clientele gather.

He was what you might call a dark slaver, and he was famous for enslaving people of all ranks and offering them to his clients as long as they paid him.

And the biggest force in the Droy Chamber of Commerce is a group of assassins.

The aristocracy could not be trifled with because they were taking advantage of them and receiving all kinds of requests.

Gensema recognized Hayna at a glance. It was a good thing that he was not a member of a nobleman's family, because he knew his way around.

With a wicked look on her face, Gensema welcomed Hayna.

'You know me?'

Because information is the power of business. Of course I know that. Hehehe.

Hayna's brow furrowed at the sneer, but she held back and opened her mouth for the purpose.

'You seem to be using that power to do something else behind the scenes, don't you?

When Hayna asked bluntly, Gensema nodded her head, cutting through the air.

"Not another thing. Hahaha. What do you mean by that ......?

Gensema, who had been laughing like that, suddenly became a straight face and said with a prickly face.

But isn't that what you came here for?　Please feel free to contact me. Sir Hayna. If you are a male slave, just tell us your preference: ......

I'm interested in something else. There are people I want to kill. Someone I want to kill at all costs!

I see. Kukku. Welcome. Sir.

Hayna clenched her fists. The glare from Ronen and the contempt of the nobles was even worse.

They had completely lost the opportunity to even make a difference.

Hayna had cited Erwin Aintorian as the culprit. She could never forgive him for being the one who had destroyed her and her family line.

But it was impossible to challenge him in a straightforward manner. That fact deeply hurt Hayna's high pride, and it made her even more determined to kill only Erwin.

If not for him, I would have another chance to be a schemer. There was also a sliver of hope that Ronen would call him back.

So I came to visit Gensema in spite of my disgust.

'Is there anyone you can't kill?

"Huh. What are you talking about? There are beings we cannot kill, too. We can't kill the five novae on the continent. Well, except for them, I suppose it's possible.

The five are considered the strongest on the continent. That is to say, there are only five S-classes on the continent.

The highest among them was the King of Naluyah.

Your Excellency, we run a special assassination organization. There are many excellent assassins that I have trained since my childhood, so there is nothing difficult about them.

Gensema giggled, showing absolute confidence.

It becomes more difficult when you get to the level of Demasin El-Hit, but it can be tried. It's not necessarily assassination to kill with a knife. There is also the option of poisoning. Hmmm. However, the cost of the request would be high. Still, there aren't many noblemen in Lunan who would be asked to do it, though.

Gensema brings up the story of the strongest warlord in the Lunan Kingdom.

Elhit is strong, but he said that he can kill it because he is not one of the five rising stars.

This is exactly what the Dolly Chamber of Commerce is, the largest of the underworld groups operating in the continent.

So, who do you want me to kill?　The amount of money varies with the grade, so can you tell me from the target?

Hayna opened her mouth without hesitation as Gensema rubbed her hands together and said.

"Erwin Adrian. Kill him.

"Oh, ...... this is also a person who has recently surfaced

Gensema giggles and rubs her hands together again.

'Isn't Count Erwin Aintorian a pretty good schemer?

"I don't care what he thinks!　So, what about killing it?

As I said before. You think you can kill Elkhine, but you can't kill a lesser Elkhine?　War and assassination are two different things. Your Excellency Hayna. Of course, the high grade is a huge cost.

How much?

Yes. ......

Gensema smiled wryly and held up five fingers.

'Five years' worth of revenue for the territory, I guess.

"What are you talking about?

Hayna raised an eyebrow at Gensema's demand for a huge sum of money, the revenue of the territory for five years.

Five years' worth of revenue for the fiefdom; one year's worth of revenue would be used to run the fiefdom for one year. In other words, he wanted to give five years' worth of operating funds.

'A man of great wisdom. It's no wonder he's so expensive. The reason for the scarcity of our Dolly Chamber of Commerce is precisely because it is 'expensive, but it will get done'. Well, if you can't afford it, give it up. I'll pretend I didn't ask.

Gensema's decisive attitude made Hayna tremble with anger.

But right now, Hayna's wounded pride came first, before money.

'You really can kill me, can't you?'

"Of course.

Gensema nodded strongly and Hayna bit her lip.

'The money is after we take care of it.

You're right. We at Dolly's are known for our thoroughness in paying later. "Pfft.

Erwin Aintorian.

While known as a brilliant schemer, his military prowess was not well known in Lunan.

The battle between Brigitte and Rosellen was not witnessed firsthand by the people of Lunan. And he had never used force in the war against Nalja, except when fighting alone at Castle Linon.

This was happening because few people knew about Erhin's military might.
