Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Matthias sneered and gestured for everyone to eat, and the dinner for the three of them began.

The dishes on the table were dwindling at an alarming rate.

Although they appeared to eat slowly, the empty plates quickly piled up on the table.

"Have you been hungry for a few days?"

"If this is Hero Academy, the cooking should be good, right?"

"It's not that you eat in an ugly way, but why do you eat so fast?"

The maids standing nearby tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Soon, only empty plates were left on the table, and the meal for the three of them ended quickly.

The maids quickly cleared away the empty plates and immediately served hot tea to the three people.

Mathias sat back in his chair, comfortable. Blanche maintained her dignity and maintained her character.

Cardin looked at the table which was full of dishes just now with satisfaction.

"As a student at Hero Academy, I am treated like this."

This seemed to be the most memorable dinner he had since he got his new life.

But on the other hand, he also felt uneasy.

"Fortunately, there is no poison in the food."

Although it is not completely certain, Duchess Florian may be the one who is undergoing demonization.

It could be one of the gangs that attempted to kidnap graduating students, and perhaps they are planning to kidnap students this time as well.

"Is Luna watching carefully?"

Cardin turned his gaze towards the sunny window. No, to be more precise, he looked at the clock tower on the other side of the window.

Although it is far away, a familiar little girl can be seen on the top of the bell tower.

"It seems we have found a good place, but can we tell whether the Duchess is a demon from such a distance?"

Although I have doubts, I still have confidence in Luna. She may have gone up to the clock tower.

Cardin thought so and slowly raised his teacup.

at that time.

Click.

The closed door opened and a woman in a gorgeous dress appeared.

Whoosh.

Mathias stood up from his seat, followed by Blanche and Cardin.

"It's nice to meet Duchess Florian."

Mathias greeted the women on behalf of everyone.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Vanessa Florian, who's managing this place for Duke Florian."

She does have an attractive appearance.

As a duchess, her skin is fair and smooth without a single wrinkle.

And the vibe she gives off is quite classy.

A woman who combines gorgeousness, elegance and alluring charm.

Even guys who aren't interested in women are naturally attracted to them.

"Shall we sit down comfortably and chat?"

The Duchess gracefully motioned for everyone to sit down. Following her instructions, the students sat down.

"First of all, thank you for accepting the commission. You may be hesitant because we have to go through dangerous places."

The maids quickly placed snacks and teacups in front of the Duchess and then quickly retreated to the back.

The Duchess gave the maids a smile of thanks, and then continued.

“This is what the students are trying to transport.”

The Duchess motioned to the footman who was waiting nearby.

"I'll put it on top."

The servant seemed to be waiting for instructions. He dragged a large shield to the table with great effort and placed it on it.

"What is this? A shield?"

Cardin looked at the shield, frowning in displeasure for some reason.

"This is……"

"Isn't this the shield of the Holy Guardian?"

Aside from Cardin, the other two students seem to know the true identity of the Shield.

"Yes. It is a sacred object of the kingdom and the shield of the guardian Dimitar."

After learning the shield's name and the fact that it was a sacred object, Cardin nodded in understanding.

“It turned out to be a holy object.”

A shield filled with divine power. To Cardan, it might have felt like extreme power, so he felt uncomfortable.

"But why is the relic in the Duchess's possession?"

Cardin tilted his head and looked at the Duchess again.

She seemed to know what Cardin was curious about and continued to explain.

"A high-level dungeon was newly discovered a few days ago. It seems that the strength of mercenaries or knights alone is not enough.

So I wanted to ask the Holy Knights for help, but they refused. "

The Duchess said with a wry smile.

"That's when I remembered this shield that Master Dimitar had loaned me."

"Lord Dimitar is indeed generous. So did you successfully complete the dungeon raid?"

Matthias asked with a smile, and the Duchess smiled and nodded.

"Yes. Thanks to Master Dimitar. Thanks to this shield, we were able to successfully complete the dungeon raid."

Hearing her answer, Mathias looked at the shield on the table again.

Then the Duchess spoke again.

"Because it's a holy relic, you can't use teleportation to move it, and many enemies are eyeing it."

In other words, with so many enemies eyeing the shield, you have to cross the dangerous dark elf forest and hand the shield over to its owner?

Mathias nodded in response.

"With a shield like this, it stands to reason that the enemy would target the transporter."

"About 15 days ago, I contacted the Lord Guardian because I needed this shield urgently. He said he needed this shield and asked for it to be delivered as soon as possible."

As the Duchess continued to speak, Cardin stared at the shield, lost in thought.

"A request to transport a sacred object. For a mission of this magnitude, the danger level should be high or above, right?"

The tongue got tied up on its own.

If you accidentally lose this shield, you will become a prisoner and be thrown into prison immediately.

Cardin sighed secretly and looked out the window.

"Huh? Why is that?"

But Luna on the bell tower seemed to be shaking her hands and saying something.

The moment Cardin and Luna looked at each other, her voice reached his mind.

- Get out of there right now!
