I Became a Darkened Extra

Episode 107 – I will trust you and leave it to you.

107. I will trust you and leave it to you.

Lehman narrowed his eyes and tilted his head.

“These are spies from the Reconnaissance Bureau?”

“Yes.”

“Right?”

“That’s right.”

Leon said he was proud of Lehman who called him to the casino.

“You will know if you check their power supply.”

“Hmm.”

Lehman approached the three men and women who were hung like slaughtered meat.

He placed his hands on their abdomen and closed his eyes.

Soon, Lehman nodded her head.

“Of course, you are right. “You’re using the Republic’s unique mana method.”

“That’s right. “You spy bastards.”

Leon kicked their heads once for no reason.

“Look at this. “These are the drugs they were distributing here.”

He showed Lehman a box, an envelope full of pills.

This is the pill I received at the poker table earlier. While secretly following the spies, I was able to find a bunch of samples that had been packed away.

“There are a lot.”

“Just looking at this, isn’t it a black snake-type drug? “It’s dark and suspicious.”

“Hmm…”

Lehman rummaged through his boxes by hand. A huge pile of pills flowed between his fingers.

“Just a moment.”

He immediately picked up a pill and put it in his mouth.

“······Brother?”

Very natural behavior and attitude. Leon was very embarrassed.

“······.”

Lehman rolled his tongue for a moment, felt the taste, and then spit out the medicine.

“It is certain that black death was involved.”

“······Can I just eat that?”

“Hmm? Oh, I’m fine. Since I only checked the ingredients, it has no effect… Uh-huh, why are you raising the mana? Take your hand off the sword. “Well, it’s not like that.”

“······.”

Leon glared at Lehman with suspicious eyes.

Lehman cleared his throat and continued speaking.

“Anyway, spies from the Reconnaissance Bureau were spreading black dust…”

It was only then that his thoughts reached the orc colony he had defeated in Elaim. At that time, the orcs’ awakening reaction was due to the black death, and the group of humans who were with them were spies from the Reconnaissance Bureau.

“This is serious.”

“It’s serious. “We have to beat them all.”

“That’s right. “I’m sure these people aren’t the end, and there aren’t separate superiors or branches.”

“Yes. “These guys are the lowest of the low.”

“How about that? “Have you ever been interrogated?”

Leon squatted down and looked carefully into their eyes. Their bodies trembled like aspen trees.

“Just keep it simple. But that was enough. “I knew very little.”

“Oh my.”

“Just looking at it, it seems like there is no mental barrier… All I had to do was receive orders and medicine from above.”

“It looks like the point organization structure is maintained.”

“Yes. However, they did not thoroughly prepare for cutting off the tail. I have a boss I meet in person. “You can start with him and climb up.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Lehman, who was shaking his head, suddenly asked.

“Is there any other reason why you called me instead of calling the intelligence department?”

“······.”

Leon looked back at Lehman. It was a pretty sharp question.

“I cannot trust the Ministry of Information.”

“Information Department?”

“He’s so incompetent. “It’s much more reliable to leave it to my brother.”

Of course, Leon’s distrust of the intelligence department was not just about simple incompetence.

Literally, I couldn’t believe it.

There was a suspicion that a spy or fraudster may have been planted in the intelligence department.

It was quite possible. Perhaps their incompetence was the intended result of someone’s interference.

For this reason, Leon decided that calling the intelligence department would be a hasty action.

On the other hand, Lehman was the best person for this job.

No one can stop Lehman’s righteous and righteous actions.

His inaction is at the highest level among masters, and his status is the eldest son of Duke Crusif.

He has a firm belief in protecting the weak and punishing evil.

A flawless reputation that is trusted across continents, and even the freedom of not belonging anywhere.

If he decides to crack down on drug crimes and goes on a rampage, who or under what justification can interfere? No matter who it was, they would be busy praising and cheering him on.

Therefore, putting Lehman in this case was no different from cheating.

“I understand.”

Lemon also agreed after realizing that Leon treated him like a trustworthy hunting dog.

Leon looked at him carefully and continued to add.

“I don’t know if it will start to cut off at some point, but we may still be able to find places like factories or storage warehouses where black sand is made. If that happens, it won’t be so meaningless. “First of all, we will be able to stop the spread of the black plague for a while.”

“······.”

“Well, I wonder what on earth they are trying to do by spreading this. “I don’t know how much the central nobles might be involved as well.”

“Aren’t you trying to take advantage of our dependence on Black Death?”

“Well, the probability of that happening is high, but… I don’t think it will end there. “To say it’s just a drug has an awakening effect, and if you go to the magic tower, won’t withdrawal symptoms be resolved to some extent?”

In order to take advantage of drug dependence, if we limit the supply of black snakes.

You may not know this if you are a commoner, but if you have a lot of money or are a noble, you can solve this problem by visiting the Magic Tower.

Although it is a last resort, it is better than being a puppet, struggling with withdrawal symptoms.

Lehman said.

“It’s the purpose… “I was in District 11 all this time.”

Leon expressed interest.

“Oh, how was it there?”

“It was full of confusion.”

Lehman especially liked the word chaos.

“Stab a knife in a piece of bread and hit a stone for a place to sleep with a roof. Parents sold their children, brothers betrayed each other, and the concept of friends or colleagues did not exist. “Only those who were a little more powerful and cruel survived to survive another day.”

“······.”

“The lights that brightened up District 2 were replaced by the poisonous eyes of the starving people in District 11. “I never thought I would see a scene like this even when I came to the islands.”

The island boasts an enormous population and size. And District 11 was a cesspool where all the darkness of the system flowed.

A place like Hevilon in the Duchy of Crusif. District 11 would have done more than those places, and would not have done less.

“Wherever people live, there is darkness.”

“······Yes, I agree.”

Lehman laughed bitterly.

“Anyway, the story leaked a little. Drugs are also rampant in District 11. However, among them, I only found one drug that looked like black sand.”

“······.”

“It was being used by members of a violent organization, and they were rapidly expanding their power by taking advantage of the awakening effect of the Black Death. As you know, if an ordinary person uses it, doesn’t he demonstrate the same physical abilities as most mana users?”

From the word ‘while they were’, I was able to guess what they were like now.

Leon thought of the Blood Donors Corps rather than the Reconnaissance Bureau. It was the perfect area for a group called the Blood Donors to gain influence. In the sense that there are too many lives that no one cares about no matter how many disappear.

“Isn’t that what they were trying to create in District 11? “Can’t you find out where you got the black snake?”

For Lehman, Nawabari was a word he had never heard before, but for some reason, he immediately understood what it meant.

“Nawabari… The tone is really good. I heard they got it from a broker whose identity is unclear. But wouldn’t this also have been delivered or distributed by the Reconnaissance Bureau?”

“I guess so. In the end, if we stop the spies, everything will be resolved.”

Leon said as he took out a piece of tobacco.

“Brother. “It’s good to help the weak, but in the end, solving the root cause of the problem comes first.”

Lehman’s calm gaze turned to Leon’s eyes. Leon looked straight into his eyes.

“No matter how much you cut off a twig, it will grow again. In the end, uprooting the root is the surest and most effective.”

“······.”

“Or at least cut off the bottom.”

The bitter smile on Lehman’s face could not be erased.

What Leon meant was to focus on catching the person who was distributing the blackmail to Lehman.

In the meantime, Leon understood Lehman’s personality to some extent.

He cannot ignore and overlook the pain of others. Lehman was not tied up in District 11 for several days for no reason.

Mana Lehman must have been spending his time helping the many weak people in District 11 one by one.

In some ways, he was honest, and in other ways, he was foolish, like a hero of justice in a heroic story.

However, it is an action that does not help much in solving the ultimate problem. Just as it is better to destroy the factories where drugs are manufactured than to help drug addicts.

Lehman is also aware of this, but when he sees someone in need of help in front of him, he naturally reaches out to help.

Perhaps this foolish personality may be the reason why Lehman said that he was not suitable for the position of head of the family.

“I understand.”

Lehman answered strongly, as if he had made up his mind.

Leon grinned. He placed his hand friendly on Lehman’s shoulder.

“Yes, brother. “I will trust you and leave it to you.”

After saying that, he walked out the door without hesitation.

“Okay, then we can start by meeting that boss.”

Lehman, who was left alone, looked at his spies and muttered.

However.

“······.”

Soon.

“······!”

Her eyes widened when she realized that Leon had slipped out naturally.

I was hit by my younger brother…
