Will Of Chaos

Chapter 44 - Cap 44: Conspiracy

I gave the girls two different goals because there are a lot of things I want to do but I don't have the necessary tools.

The most urgent thing is to improve the food, for that we need pots and utensils to cook better food, I could use knives and daggers for now, but what's the point of cutting if I can't cook.

The second most important are the tools for the Forge, building a Forge is not difficult, but I need the proper materials and good tools, I know the design of countless weapons thanks to my games, I have full confidence that I can recreate them in this world, but I need the experience to create first, and for that, it would be good if I start practicing early.

Joinery is very useful for building bows and arrows, magic staffs, building furniture, and other useful things, and for the same reason, I would like some related items to practice, until then I will use a knife to carve pieces of wood to improve my skills.

The mask I asked for is so that after my evolution I can go to the hidden city, so I ordered a mask with those specifications for Kira, and she seems to have understood my plan.

I can't send Érica to the city as she is now a Demon and Ibuki is a monster, so I sent Diana to act in the light while Kira acts in the shadows, as the two have no relationship and have sought different things I won't be discovered.

I've even prepared a story for Diana, a reason she's been out in the woods for months and an excuse she's coming back alone.

"Diana, I've already thought of everything for when you get back, but just to make sure you listen to the story I'm going to tell you because you'll have to repeat it later." (me)

"When you come back, you'll take back the Adventurer card from Érica and the other two who died that came with you, the heads of the Dwarf and Tiger Beast Man, will also take the subjugation test of dozens of Goblins, some wolves, and some more monsters." (me)

"You will deliver everything to the guild and get the reward for the heads of the bandits, during the delivery release as much bloodlust as possible, it will imply that you went through a difficult situation." (me)

"When someone asks what happened you will say that you bumped into the bandit group during the hunt and were attacked while they were tired, the couple who joined your group died, you and Érica fled into the forest to escape." (me)

"Then he will say that you hid until you recovered, but a month ago you were attacked by a two-headed wolf and Érica died during the fight, but you managed to survive." (me)

"You will tell how you sought revenge hunting the bad guys until you found these two and killed them with an ambush and found an expensive potion that you drank and healed all your wounds and scars before you came back." (me)

"Looks like the master made up a story to explain everything, amazing." (Érica)

"The master story is very plausible, if I tell it the way the master asked they will believe for sure." (Diana)

"The master's plan is very good, but what if they suspect something?" (Kira)

"They won't have to be suspicious of my track record of being a responsible adventurer, there won't be any leads for them to follow either." (Diana)

"It's like Diana said." (me)

I thought about that plan because there are some things I'm going to need them to do when they go to town.

"You don't need to worry, you won't leave now, it will take until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow for you to go." (me)

"We have to get some information from our prisoner first." (me)

With that, we eat something and head towards the room the prisoner is in, when we enter I see he is pretending to be trapped and sleeping, so I use my lines to arrest him.

"You really thought such a bad trick would work on me." (me)

"Dammit, dammit, dammit." (Viper)

"Why can't you be naive and dumb like other Goblins, dammit." (Viper)

He was very nervous that his desperate plan failed, I bite his neck and only use my paralyzing venom a few times to slow him down but was still able to speak.

Ding!

<[ His skill leveled up [ Weak Paralyzing Poison Secretion: 7> 8 ] ]>

Then I grab a knife and start cutting his hair and shaving his head until he's bald, I can finally see a tattoo on his head, it must be the bondage mark Kira mentioned.

"What are you doing? Why are you making me bald." (Viper)

"So you really are a slave, looks like Kira was right, you're a spy." (me)

When I say this the prisoner starts to sweat and gets even paler, his eyes go wide as he looks at me.

"How do you know all this?" (Viper)

"Who is this Kira who told you this nonsense?" (Viper)

"I really am a slave, but I am the bandit chief's slave." (Viper)

"Don't try to deceive me, by your desperation I know you're lying." (me)

I point to Kira behind me and start laughing at him.

"A proof of your lies is that you don't know Kira's name or recognize her face." (me)

"..." (Viper)

He looks at Kira as if looking for some clue to her identity, but Kira is without the mask and changed into normal clothes earlier this morning, so there's nothing for him to remember about her.

"The master is very cruel, playing with him like that." (Kira)

"Sorry Kira, I can't resist playing with someone who thinks I'm so dumb as to fall for a stupid plan like that." (me)

"Are you Kira?" (Viper)

"What did you tell this monster? How do you know about me?" (Viper)

"No wonder you didn't recognize me, you never saw me without a mask and you never knew my name either." (Kira)

"But none of that matters, I already knew about you before I hired you back then." (Kira)

"Unknown name? Mask? Hire?" (Viper)

The prisoner repeats the key points Kira lets him hear until he comes to a conclusion on his own that makes him start shivering right away.

"You... You are the Storm Killer." (Viper)

"My congratulations you found the correct answer." (me)

"But how? Why are you here with this freak?" (Viper)

"Hey, watch your words, your mom never taught you that words can hurt someone?" (me)

"..." (Viper)

"I must thank you Viper, thanks to you telling the master about our hiding place I got to meet him." (Kira)

"It not only healed my body to pieces, but it also made me recapture the path I once wanted to follow and fulfill a wish I had long forgotten." (Kira)

"For that reason, I'm going to give you some advice as a way to thank you for all this." (Kira)

"Don't try to provoke the master, you will find that there are worse fates than death, just be honest and speak everything you know, maybe after you say everything I can give you a quick death as you wanted." (Kira)

"..." (Viper)

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" (Viper)

I can see his eyes losing their shine and becoming empty like Érica's when I first met her, it seems the shock of acknowledging the situation he's in was too much for his mind to handle and he started laughing as he cries in his absolute despair, soon he stops laughing and wears an expression of resignation, as if he has accepted his fate.

"Very well you got freak, ask what you want, I'll answer everything." (Viper)

"Very well, let's start with the name of the kingdom you serve, tell me the name and what they wanted by sending you here." (me)

"I'm from the Kingdom of Light, I was sent here to gather information about the criminal underworld of the Trigan Kingdom and find people who are willing to help the Kingdom of Light to overthrow this Kingdom." (Viper)

"What is the Kingdom of Light? And why do you want to overthrow the Trigan Kingdom?" (me)

"Master the Kingdom of Light is a kingdom where it is believed in the supremacy of the human race, not the whole kingdom but half of it is like that, there are still some who are not extremists in the religion of Light, so the Kingdom is divided into the peaceful faction and in the extremist faction." (Érica)

"The nobleman who enslaved me in the past was a believer in the God of Light Baldr and a member of the extremist faction, they distort their God's words to preach purity and eliminate the impure as an excuse for their own prejudices." (Kira)

With the girls' explanation, I begin to have a clearer view of the situation and I continue to question Viper.

"And how did you plan to do this?" (me)

"After investigating and finding nobles from that kingdom willing to cooperate in an attack on the third prince of the Cartoza Kingdom who will be here in a month and a half, after the prince's death by nobles of that kingdom, the Cartoza Kingdom will declare war and the Kingdom of Luz will help Cartoza in the war due to the friendship of the two royal families." (Viper)

"No one knows why the prince is coming, but the Realm of Light suspects it's to form an alliance between the realms, it would kill any chance of purging this Realm full of Demis and Beastmen." (Viper)

"They believe this because the third prince is known as someone who tries to diminish the prejudices of his kingdom and because he is coming with a delegation in a month and a half, it shows that the King supports his coming here." (Viper)

"(So this is a conspiracy to generate a war.)" (me)
