Chapter 98: Operation Arrest Crownhall Hypnosis App – 6

Crownhall was a big metropolis, with the residence of the Imperial Household at its middle. Simply as trendy actual property values had been influenced by elements like transportation and facilities, this world’s land worth was equally decided.

On this world, the nearer the land was to the middle of town— the Imperial Palace—the extra beneficial it was. Due to this fact, one might roughly gauge somebody’s energy and affect by the placement of their mansion or villa.

This was a easy map of town.

The realm nearest the inside wall that protected the Imperial Quarters, referred to as the ‘Golden Wall,’ and the adjoining zones had been known as the ‘Golden Ring.’ Solely these favored by the Emperor might reside right here.

This space was extremely coveted by bold nobles since entry required not simply wealth, but additionally important advantage.

I had heard that the boy knight who practically destroyed the Purple Magic Tower owned a personal mansion on this space.

Past the ‘Golden Ring,’ there was an imaginary concentric circle dividing town into inside and outer zones. The primary distinction between these areas was whether or not they fell throughout the patrol route of the Imperial Capital Knight Order.

The Knight Order, composed of the Empire’s elite, ensured impeccable public security inside their patrol areas. Petty crime was practically nonexistent in these areas, clearly making it a rich area.

Most high-ranking nobles and very rich people lived right here, and even the nobles who ran their fiefs in distant locations maintained a villa right here.

Some nobles claimed, “That is the actual Crownhall,” and questioned the authenticity of areas not protected by the Knight Order, distinguishing between what they thought-about the true and false Crownhall themselves.

The outer partitions marked the boundary of Crownhall, and that was the place we had enjoyable and wandered round to this point.

Viscount No matter’s mansion was located proper on this border. Pink-Haired Lesbian defined that it was troublesome for a viscount to have property right here, however with the duke’s assist, he was barely capable of handle it.

After which she added.

“The Capital Knight Order is beneath the Imperial household, just like the Imperial Protection Bureau, however their predominant precedence is suppressing disturbances in Crownhall. This generally places them at odds with us. Have you learnt what I imply?”

“So if we delay, the Capital Knight Order will come after us?”

“Precisely. It is unclear if Viscount Dompel’s mansion falls inside their sphere of affect, but when they present up, issues will get difficult.”

“So it’s blitzkrieg.”

I interpreted it as doing every part attainable earlier than the police confirmed up.’

===============================================================

We rapidly approached the viscount’s mansion. The outer partitions of the mansion had been embellished with all types of decorations, but it surely regarded ugly as a result of it felt like he was making an attempt to indicate off his wealth somewhat than making it aesthetically pleasing.

Who hangs a jeweled necklace exterior a mansion? It didn’t even appear like an artifact.

Two guards had been stationed on the entrance gate, surrounded by fences.

Coming into the mansion itself wanted to be carried out quietly. There have been undoubtedly extra guards inside, but when a struggle broke out exterior, we’d be in hassle for 2 causes.

The danger of attracting the Capital Knight Order’s consideration and the open discipline being disadvantageous for us in battle.

If a struggle was unavoidable, it was greatest to struggle it contained in the mansion if attainable. Stealth can be preferrred. On this case, it was vital to find out if the viscount was a perpetrator or a sufferer.

I exchanged a look with my soulmate, Pink-Haired Lesbian.

“Ought to we strive saying that there’s a supply?”

“Let’s go along with the story that I am a farmer who bought my land and entered the business world. However as a result of my items overlapped with the viscount’s, I bumped into hassle. So now, I’m bringing a bribe to ask for mercy⋯⋯.”

Whereas we had been organising our ruse, a guard pointed at Senior Scarface and approached us. What was this? Ought to I take advantage of hypnosis magic to take care of this?

The guard bowed and spoke to Senior.

“You got here rapidly this time. The grasp has been ready for you.”

“⋯⋯?”

“Are they hypnotized slaves? Grasp will like them. If in case you have any leftovers, then can I⋯⋯.”

“⋯⋯⋯⋯!!”

Pink-Haired Lesbian and I instantly feigned clean expressions, pretending to be beneath Hypnosis App. This was a wave we needed to trip.

I noticed my reflection in her eyes. It regarded like I had been caught by the Hypnosis App and had misplaced consciousness.

I additionally shielded the Tower Grasp, who was struggling to maintain up with the scenario, with my physique.

It appeared that Senior Scarface’s expertise had paid off, as she rapidly regained her composure and tailored to the scenario. With a sly smile, she responded to the guard.

“However I don’t suppose there’s going to be a leftover this time. You may inform they’re all S-ranks simply by their faces. Do you actually suppose the viscount would go away any? Ah, perhaps this man proper right here is likely to be left.”

“Haha, it’s alright. It isn’t like I’m ready to be choosy both⋯⋯.”

Ah, fucking hell.

Goosebumps ran down my backbone. You motherfucker, at the very least be choosy concerning the gender.

The Senior Scarface led us into the mansion. The guard’s pleasant demeanor in the direction of her indicated that that they had interacted extra than simply a couple of times. It appeared the wrongdoer had been utilizing Senior Scarface’s face for varied schemes.

Impersonation was terrifying on this approach. If we had carried out the investigation step-by-step amongst ourselves as a substitute of instantly involving Senior⋯⋯ would not it have led to a scenario the place we could not assist however turn out to be suspicious of her?

Senior Scarface appeared to catch on and tapped my shoulder in gratitude. Sure, I had saved her.

“Then, have a good time.”

The guard escorted us to the entrance of the constructing earlier than returning to his put up. Senior made transient eye contact with us.

Ought to we go? Let’s go.

It wasn’t actually you, Lorei, proper?

“⋯⋯⋯⋯.”

It was disagreeable to satisfy somebody who didn’t see different individuals as human. This particular person was as soon as similar to me—a human being.

He was born screaming into the world, crawled on all 4 limbs, walked on two toes, and doubtless lived his life forming relationships with many individuals. How did he turn out to be so twisted? After I requested myself that query…

It led to a unhappiness that left a bitter style in my mouth.

Viscount Pig spoke as he proudly held out the small stone statue to Pink-Haired Lesbian and the Tower Grasp.

“In case you haven’t been hypnotized, I’ll do it now. Now, look this manner! Khehehe⋯⋯ And all of you, turn out to be my intercourse slaves!”

A sample flashed on the stone statue that might slot in one hand, emitting highly effective hypnotic waves.

We had been hypnotized, misplaced consciousness, and have become the viscount’s toys. Viscount Pig chuckled and pointed.

“Sure, you with the pink hair. Come right here first. Take off that muggy go well with proper now! You, hehe, you may be my favourite mistress⋯⋯.”

Pink-Haired Lesbian, seemingly beneath hypnosis, slowly took off her go well with jacket, revealing her voluptuous physique as she headed in the direction of the viscount and──

===============================================================

“Sure⋯⋯ hurry and are available serve⋯⋯ my wonderful physique⋯⋯.”

In your desires.

Smack!

I smacked Viscount Pig on the again of his head. Even after his neck bent and snapped again, he stored smiling brightly, clearly misplaced in a cheerful dream from the mirrored hypnotic waves.

Pink-Haired Lesbian turned her wrist, and requested.

“Mr. Loopy Wizard, can I hit him too?”

“The hypnosis may break when you hit him too ha⋯⋯ No, he’ll die when you hit him with that a lot Mana.”

I took the statue from the viscount’s hand.

This small statue appeared crafted with extra effort than the bigger one, and was emitting stronger hypnotic waves than I anticipated.

And not using a psychological barrier, anybody would immediately turn out to be a slave, similar to these maids. The output was sturdy sufficient that even a weak psychological barrier would fail beneath repeated publicity.

We had been lucky to be specialists on this discipline. In any other case, college students on the Academy might need been affected. Contemplating this, I felt a way of responsibility as an educator.

The world was broad and crammed with many risks. To guard our college students from falling prey to the Hypnosis App, I would want to make them endure a bit extra. They needed to develop psychological boundaries as agency as mountains.

“Now then, with the viscount incapacitated⋯⋯ let’s collect all of the proof.”

We wanted as a lot proof as attainable. Discovering it might rework us from trespassers into righteous individuals who rose as much as punish criminals.

I trusted our Second Prince to deal with the aftermath if we addressed the foundation trigger.

“⋯⋯⋯⋯.”

“Senior, what’s fallacious?”

Senior Scarface appeared apprehensive, considering along with her hand over his mouth. Had she been barely affected by the hypnosis wave?

“Esteemed Junior. Concerning the⋯⋯ viscount. Don’t you suppose he was dumber than we thought?”

“He did appear fairly⋯⋯ idiotic?”

Though we handed the guards simply, the viscount accepted us with out query regardless of the gang, I might solely describe him as⋯⋯ simple-minded.

“If it had been me, I wouldn’t have put somebody silly in cost. I don’t know if the viscount was extra resourceful than I assumed, but when that wasn’t the case⋯⋯.”

“You’re saying there’s somebody in precise energy behind the figurehead?”

“Precisely.”

I understood instantly. Even when I had been the mastermind, I did not suppose I might need to entrust the job to this viscount bastard. I might have preferred to have left it to somebody⋯⋯ extra clever and succesful.

“From what Viscount Pig stated, they had been engaged on spreading 『Huge Brother』 all through Crownhall. There should be somebody who acts as a commander, main the operation.”

I considered a traditional cliche.

‘The butler subsequent to the incompetent noble was really the actual mastermind.’ That form of situation.

We couldn’t let our guard down simply because we captured the viscount and──.

“Mr. Wizard, above us-!”

Pink-Haired Lesbian warned sharply. Reflexively, I raised my head, trying on the ceiling.

Chajajajack-! Rumblee!

The ceiling shattered into dozens of items and collapsed. Three figures fell, weapons aimed toward us. One had an amazing sword, one other dual-wielded swords, and the third a bow. They had been going for me⋯⋯ no. They had been going for the viscount—to eradicate all of the proof by killing him?

“Defend the viscount!”

I rapidly forged a spell. A flash of sunshine appeared within the Tower Grasp’s hand, the sound of a sequence swooshed, and Senior Scarface drew a dagger.

CLANGGG-!!

With the conflict of metals, mud /genesisforsaken
