Chapter 563
“Come out, Jackson!”
“You're a traitor to humanity! The orc court has come to judge you!”
The hunters guarding the mansion were startled by the group of fierce orc warriors pouring in through the door.
“Has... Has a dungeon exploded?”
“There was no alarm?! What is this... Ghah!”
A hunter who was blocking the way collapsed when an orc warrior smacked him in the jaw with his axe.
“Where has the traitor gone?”
“How dare you! Don’t you know where this is?”
Dexen, a B+ hunter, raised his bow and aimed at the orcs. He had defeated several vicious orcs in dungeons after being attacked by them, so he wasn’t afraid of them even in unexpected situations such as this one.
If they wanted a fight, he would give them just that!
-Palonen’s High-Angle Shot!
Dexen shot enchanted arrows at the orcs. Although he did it hastily, this was a skill he had practiced a thousand times already. The arrows went straight for orcs’ vital points, which were exposed through the gaps in their armor.
But the orcs swung their axes and deflected all the arrows effortlessly!
“??!?”
“This guy! This vile bastard is helping the traitor who betrayed humanity!”
“We are here to punish you for your sins!”
Bam!
The axe came down, and Dexen collapsed.
Seeing the strongest hunter at the scene instantly being overpowered, the other hunters trembled in fear.
“Where is Jackson? Where is Jackson?!”
“I-i-inside...! He’s inside!”
“Jackson! Come out!”
The orcs smashed their way through the house and conducted a dignified search for the culprit. As Jackson was being dragged out of bed, he looked around in shock.
‘Why are there orcs here?! Has a dungeon exploded?’
No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t think of any other explanation for this sudden orc invasion. But what were the hunters doing? How could these orcs drag him out of bed without anyone swinging their weapon at them?
“Jackson, you are found guilty of treason against humanity. Our orc court condemns traitors on behalf of our busy master. Prosecutor!”
“Garagoncha is the prosecutor.”
“Lawyer!”
“Palvacha is the lawyer.”
“Judge!”
“Iguacha is the judge.”
“Jury!”
“Everyone left is part of the jury! On the honor of the orcs!”
“...What the hell is this... Agh!”
Jackson tried to argue after he came to his senses, but an orc suddenly hit him.
“Defy the court one more time and I’ll make you regret it!” Iguacha reprimanded him sternly.
“O... Orcs...”
After one hit, Jackson realized the position he was in and immediately adopted a more respectful attitude. The orcs in front of him were playing a court game, and if he said the wrong things, they would take him to the guillotine!
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Uh... I’m not a traitor to humanity.”
Bam!
Palvacha, the lawyer, slapped Jackson, and Jackson looked at him in a panic.
“I will do the defense. Be quiet!”
“...”
The orc playing the role of prosecutor recited the accusations in a loud voice.
“The defendant shamelessly showed no remorse for betraying humanity by colluding with the Master of Slowness and Silence!”
“Th... That...!”
Jackson was speechless. He had made an excuse to use in a general court or a hearing, but he had never thought he would have to think of one in the middle of the night among angry orcs in his home!
“It’s all a misunder-”
“Silence!”
Jackson was hit again.
“Prosecutor, suggest a punishment!”
“Death!”
“Jury! Judge!”
“Death!”
“Hey, what kind of court is this?! Lawyer! What is the lawyer doing?!”
Although bewildered by this trial, Jackson refused to give in. He realized that he could really die if he didn’t do something right away.
“Lawyer! Lawyer, help me! If you succeed...”
“Lawyer! Defense!”
Surely not...?
“The reason we are here is simple. We are to check if anyone is playing tricks with Master’s treasure!”
“We’ve checked everything?” The Korean hunters tilted their heads.
“Double and triple check it!” the orcs roared in response.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“Leader of the investigation!”
“Garagoncha is in charge of the investigation.”
“Principal investigator!”
“Palvacha will be the principal investigator.”
“Co-investigator!”
“Iguacha will be the co-investigator.”
“Auxiliary!”
“Everyone else is an auxiliary member! On the honor of the orcs!”
The orcs rushed in and started checking the artifacts. The British hunters were bewildered and scared by this sudden inspection, but they were relieved at the same time. In fact, there wouldn’t be a problem even if the orcs checked the artifacts. The hunters hadn’t left out any artifacts that had to be sent to South Korea.
After all, who would risk their life trying to steal artifacts under the scrutiny of the newly established constellation? Even if there were such people out there, they had probably already been beaten and taken away.
However, the orcs exceeded the hunters’ expectations.
“This gem is beautiful! It would look great in Master’s hometown!
“...That’s not a Korean relic though?!”
“Shut up! In the name of Garagoncha, the leader of the investigation team, the treasures of humanity must be protected by all of humanity. In other words, this is also Master’s treasure!”
The orcs took a huge gem, considered to be one of the most beautiful diamonds in the royal family, and put it in the box without giving anyone time to intervene.
“This crown! This crown looks like a relic of South Korea! It’s the same crown!”
“It’s completely different! It’s a crown made for the royal family!” the British hunters screamed.
This crown of “royal glory” was made from some of the most beautiful gemstones from South Africa. Putting aside its historical value, it was also an A-grade artifact.
“This is a British treasure made from the most exquisite gems from South Africa! Don’t take it!”
“It’s from South Africa, so why is it your treasure?”
“...”
“That’s right! The treasure of humanity is...”
“...Everyone must protect it!”
“Wonderful, Palvacha!”
The orcs were excited. If something looked nice, they would put it in a box and have it transported to South Korea.
The British hunters were distraught at the sight of these thieves stripping them of treasures of immense historical value.
“This pottery! This pottery is a treasure worthy of Master’s hometown!”
“Th-that’s a Chinese treasure!”
“Why do you keep stealing other people’s treasures? You’re thieves all the way through!”
“Let’s protect the treasures of humanity from thieves!”
After taking away all the British treasures, the orcs proceeded to also snatch the treasures from other countries.
“Let’s go!”
“Us orcs are experts in the treasures of humanity!”

“...Tell the other countries that I’m sorry and that I’ll return their treasures,” Choi Yeonseung said in disbelief after hearing the report.
With the realms completely merged, Choi Yeonseung’s household members were working hard to help him.
...Whether they were being helpful was debatable, but...
‘The orcs are so needlessly passionate that it’s no use in trying to stop them.’
“Choi Yeonseung, the British clans have been protesting,” Adaquaniel quietly reported.
“Tell them I’m sorry.”
“The orcs hurt the hunters, so the compensation...”
“Tell them I don’t like that.”
“What are you going to do if they keep complaining?”
“Tell them to shut up if they don’t want to end up like the Master of Slowness and Silence.”
...
“Alright, they’ve settled down. They admitted that they were in the wrong.”
“Thank you.”
Both of them nodded.
Adaquaniel truly was capable in every way. She had even managed to silence the disgruntled hunters in an instant!
‘She’s much more reliable than the orcs.’
-The orcs are a bit pitiful...
-Goddess of sloth, have you done everything I asked of you?
-Isn’t this too much? The past is the past... I’m a different constellation now...
