Reincarnated as a Dragon's Egg

Ch. 153 Tale of a Certain Brave Man 4 (side story)

I went to the basilica early this morning.

After a casual talk with the priest I asked for permission to have Adofu released. Even though I know exactly what I want and what I should do, its troublesome when I have to go through so many formal procedures. No matter how idiotic however, it is something I must do in order to be regarded as part of the upper layers.

There are many knights, but all of that is due to the upper echelons enlisting men with the incentive to provide for their families. All only to waste them gathering resources to keep up their extravagant lifestyles. Adofu, who was dissatisfied with the present situation is now a prisoner who will not change his mind on the matter. I didn’t realize how much more easily I could move when a crisis actually approaches.

Even though this country was made because I put all on the line, to think those hyenas grew fat off my leftovers. Those parasitic bastards. This is truly a garbage country. Just how many times have I thought about releasing monsters within the walls? It will be a refreshing scene for sure. The cry of the knights mothers crying for their children to escape while the knights are being exposed for their stupidity. It wouldn’t be bad for my image if I was to show up halfway through and win. They should be crushed by that time though.

After all, there will be no way to figure out that I was the criminal, especially if it was a monster that goes unidentified. I guess it’s only common sense that if you use monsters to kill the echelons of the church, then the church can’t go against you.

But…. for now i’m moving about early in the morning. To hide under the cover of dawn and leave Harenae before the sun climbs with the task to have Adofu handle the evil plague dragon. For the time being, the matter was announced to the people by the church, but it seems that the response wasn’t as great as expected. Originally the departure was to be setup to show off to the citizens, but this time we are operating without that to avoid any unnecessary troubles, and then later report the results in a grand manner.

Everyone is dissatisfied with the thought of having Adofu, who is suspected of murder, going free. The reason why the criticism of this case exceeds the church’s expectation is because I have prevailed in spreading disadvantageous rumors about Adofu to the country. When I think of how the priest who receives this report will hold their head in worry satisfies me. Although it’s not fun to have so many restrictions on how I behave, this amount is still acceptable.

I used former bums who owed me a favor for showing a little kindness, to spread the rumors about here and there, since there’s no need to worry since they can’t even be tracked and easily disposed. They weren’t promised any position or money, but since they’re idiots it was only necessary to use legal terms for them to cooperate. When it seems that they are becoming inconvenient or showing signs of betrayal, it is advantageous to be able to easily dispose of them with little preparation. Even if I kill such a man, no one will complain or even try to find the culprit.
