Count's Youngest Son is a Warlock// novel translation

Chapter 113

"Suddenly?"

<Yes, suddenly. Do you have any idea who did it?">

Heroan asked expectantly.

Lucion didn't particularly want to fulfill his expectations, but he suddenly remembered what Novio had said two days ago, that he'd gotten it all straightened out.

"...It's not Novio Cronia, is it?"

<Uh, how did you know? I heard that warlocks have big eyes and can see far away, was that true?

"......."

Lucion forgot what to say for a moment.

[That's amazing...?]

Russell was stunned.

[Cronia was... this powerful].

Even Bethel, who knew the general flow of things as a knight, couldn't help but be surprised.

Three noble families had been destroyed.

"I'll have to... ask my father."

Lucion swallowed dryly.

Even if Novio was the Lord of Cronia, he wondered if he would be okay with going to another region and wiping it out.

<Well, it's a mess anyway! I didn't realize the power of change was this strong either. I'll have to revise the information drastically.>

'...You're not going to do it for show, are you?'

Lucion fiddled with the contact item.

He tried to wield Cronia's power himself, but Novio stopped him from doing so.

It was only three days ago that Anthony had told him that he had completed his investigation of the assassin who had attacked Cronia, and Novio had waited three days when he would have smashed it right then and there.

'And today father handed over the invitation.'

Something clicked, and Lucion was pleased.

He'd just confirmed that what he'd said about being a shield was true.

<...Ah, Mr. Hamel.>

"What again?"

<Don't bother, just listen to me. I just wanted to get on good terms with my employer and have a little fun with the information. And have a drink, too.>

"Tell me."

Lucion let out a long breath.

<Lucion Cronia, that is.>

Lucion's body stiffened for a moment as the words came out of Heroan's mouth.

[Relax, listen, what's so alarming?]

Russell's giggling voice came from beside him.

<I've heard rumors of a recurrence of his original illness, but I can't seem to find out, and even if I tried to infiltrate Cronia, there's no way I'd be able to get in. Isn't that what we should be most wary of when the organization grows in size?

"Yes, but the organization's power hasn't grown to that point yet, so finish off those six branches quickly."

<Mr. Hamel. I'm not a wizard, and I don't know how many sleepless nights I've had to investigate the Chosen One out of the blue.......>

"An anonymous reporter reports that you ate and slept very well after investigating Chonest."

<Damn it, Quite...!>
