โ€œThe way to lure the sea dragon is to choose the most beautiful person in the city, bathe them cleanly, sprinkle them with rosewater and perfume, decorate them, then tie them to a pillar near the seashore on the night of the full moon.โ€

โ€œYou speak well.โ€

Johan marveled. If there was a mercenary next to him wielding a whip, Jyaninaโ€™s glib tongue would spin incredibly.

โ€˜๐˜๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ?โ€™

At first he didnโ€™t know, but as the opponent became scared, the unique pupils and split tongue of the snake people revealed themselves.

โ€œThen does it come out? Can I whip her if it doesnโ€™t come out?โ€

โ€œ. . .Of course.โ€

Jyanina was about to say โ€œNoโ€ but seeing the whip about to lash out, he affirmed. If it doesnโ€™t work out, she can think about the aftermath then.

โ€œAll good, but. . . Your Excellency. How can we know who is the most beautiful person in the city?โ€

โ€œYouโ€™re right. I would have asked Iselia if she was here.โ€

โ€œ??โ€

โ€œ??โ€

The knight and Jyanina thought it was nonsense, but they quietly closed their mouths. Johan had a sword at his waist, and even without pulling out the sword, he could break a neck.

โ€œIsnโ€™t Jyanina here conspicuously beautiful? Canโ€™t she be used as bait? She is also well versed in magic. . .โ€

โ€˜๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต. ๐˜Ž๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ.โ€™

โ€œI. . .Iโ€™m very lacking!โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t you look too skinny and unattractive?โ€

โ€œ. . . . . .โ€

โ€œNo? Well, if you are that confident in yourself. . .โ€

โ€œAh, no, youโ€™re right!โ€

Johan thought about using Jyanina as bait if the knights and Jyanina agreed.

Of course Jyanina was disgusted. It was better to be uglier than bait.

โ€œIn the end, magic is more about belief than truth. If you can create that belief, the objective truth may not matter.โ€

โ€œ?!โ€

Johan said something so wizard-like that Jyanina was surprised. It wasnโ€™t something an outsider nobleman could say.

Did he learn it from Caenerna?

No, if Caenerna didnโ€™t get shot in the head with an arrow, she wouldnโ€™t have done that. . .?

โ€œGather the city people and give them pottery shards. Tell them to write the name of the person they think is the most beautiful in the city on it.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s. . .thatโ€™s a really good idea!โ€

โ€œ. . .?โ€

For a moment Johan thought Fahid was making fun of him. But Fahid was speaking sincerely.

Which nobleman would ask the people directly and decide?

Of course as a nobleman he would decide himself, or at most, ask a priest if he makes a lot of concessions.

Who would divide his authority and honor and give it to others. Choosing that was also authority and honor.

Asking the city people now wasnโ€™t flattering them. . .

But Fahidโ€™s innocent pupils were telling the truth. Even Jyanina there was surprised. She didnโ€™t know it could be resolved so easily.

โ€œWhile I didnโ€™t know, Your Excellency has the wisdom of a philosopher.โ€

โ€œDo as youโ€™re told.โ€

โ€œ?!โ€

โ€œCongratulations, Ariku. You are the most beautiful person.โ€

โ€œThis is a misunderstanding, Your Excellency! This is a misunderstanding! The citizens must have misunderstood something!โ€

โ€œWe donโ€™t have time to explain again since the full moon is near. We need to resolve this quickly as the damage piles up day by day.โ€

The head of the Masonsโ€™ Guild, Ariku, resisted violently, but the servantsโ€™ hands relentlessly washed and stripped him.

โ€œI didnโ€™t know well either, but I guess thatโ€™s the aesthetic standard of the city.โ€

โ€œNo! No!โ€

Ariku was old with wrinkles on him face and rough skin, but the city people took this as a kind of test.

They chose Ariku thinking that if the harshest, most vengeful master among the guilds was selected, there would be no repercussions.

โ€œYour Excellency. Iโ€™m in tears seeing such a sight.โ€

Seeing the dolled up Ariku, Partutti was overjoyed.

โ€œHeโ€™s just bait, not a sacrifice, so donโ€™t get the wrong idea.โ€

โ€œCanโ€™t he unfortunately die?โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t say unlucky things and did you bring what I asked for?โ€

โ€œYes.โ€

There was a clinking sound. It was the sound of a viscous black liquid sloshing around in a jar.

โ€œI didnโ€™t know you knew how to make fire with demon blood, Your Excellency.โ€

Outstanding alchemists knew how to make flammable substances using petroleum. The liquid made this way would not easily go out once lit, and continued to burn.

Johan originally wanted to brainstorm with Partutti and the craftsmenโ€™s guilds to find a combination using petroleum for a long burning fire. It was a matter of finding a composition that would burn for a long time.

Surprisingly, however, Partutti and the craftsmen already knew this method. They just didnโ€™t use it. It was an unwelcome item, deemed sinister.

Johan felt like a fool. They even told him the composition.

It was originally a secret that should not have been divulged, but Partutti told without a momentโ€™s hesitation, a true representative of the Guild.

โ€˜๐˜ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด.โ€™

From the failures of the city people, Johan learned a lesson. In the parts where several traps all failed, Johan felt the sensitivity of its senses.

Siege weapons were inevitably conspicuous if placed nearby, no matter how small. Beasts could be deceived but monsters were impossible.

But the sealed jars filled with quenchless fire were not suspicious at all when sealed. There was nothing strange about being nearby.

โ”Itโ€™s out!

With a clanking sound, a huge creature crawled out from the water. It was definitely the water dragon.

Everyone present was relieved. Everyone had been worried about the same thing.
