ED:

Ram Hwayeon: No, that- not interfere, but- I’m saying this now, Ha Leeha, does it look like I am interfering?!

Shiiinh-!

Ram Hwayeon’s loud whispers made a mess in Leeha’s head. And her glaring eyes, and wheezing breath.

Ram Hwayeon was a calm person that targeted people’s weaknesses during negotiations and other matters, however, she had a hard time bearing Leeha’s words.

It would have been easier if Leeha knew the reason.

Leeha: That, sorry....... Are you mad?

And the wise choice right now was to apologize. And Leeha saw her expression being relieved a little as her emotions had been released even a bit.

While Browless, Marquis Hujak, and Count Quintum were arguing again, Ram Hwayeon and Leeha, who were seated, continued whispering.

Ram Hwayeon: Tsk, you don’t even know why I’m doing this. You know nothing Ha Leeha.

Leeha: Why? Isn’t it your quest as well, Ram Hwayeon?

Ram Hwayeon: Really, I. It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s not talk. I have my quests too, but do you think this is because of one of my quests?

Leeha: Then? Y-you have to tell me what you’re talking about.

Ram Hwayeon: Look, Ha Leeha-ssi, you’re the only recipient of Fibiel’s Medal of Honor. Have you forgotten your rewards?

Leeha: Huh?

When Browless entered the room and talked about the chimera, Leeha couldn’t understand why Ram Hwayeon was more delighted than him.

Ram Hwayeon: You can get either a castle or city, you fool! The king said he would make you the lord of a castle! Minis can’t give you any right now, but with the latest development, I am trying to turn it around by getting something other tha ‘Castle Van Cowl’! In order to give you a better city than a castle that doesn’t make money-!

Gulp!

Ram Hwayeon’s voice, which had been pouring nonstop, stopped for a moment. She lifted her neck stiffly and made eye contact with Leeha before turning her head slightly.

Leeha: To give to me?

Ram Hwayeon: No! My quest! It’s because of my-my quest is to get as many things as possible from Minis

She was an iron lady who would not break her poker face in any other negotiations. However, her conversation with Leeha made her reveal her emotions all over her face.

Leeha felt rather flustered by the two aspects that Ram Hwayeon showed.

Leeha: I-

Ram Hwayeon: No, aaaaaaah! No, no! It’s because of my quest, my quest! Anyway! T-that’s it. Ha Leeha, when is the deadline of your quest?

Leeha: T, that....... within 30 days-

Rma Hwayeon: Good. Anyway, Marquis Hujak and Count Quintum are in the palm of my hand. I will negotiate with Minis as much as possible for about 28 days and expand your options, so let’s see the situation until then. Is that okay?

Ram Hwayeon’s calculations were clearly faster than Leeha.

After getting as many conditions as possible from Minis other than Castle Van Cowl, Ha Leeha will choose from those! As soon as she heard Browless’ words, her calculations had already advanced to this point.

She needed to overachieve her quest, and at the same time, she would be able to give the best reward to Leeha.

Besides, she was confident enough to have an attitude of having the NPCs in the palm of her hand.

Leeha: Thank you. Ram Hwayeon-ssi.

Rma Hwayeon: You’re thanking me. If you’re grateful.......

Leeha: Huh?

Ram Hwayeon: Then, do you remember what I said before?

Leeha: What?

Ram Hwayeon: Good food, food! Find me good food!

Leeha: Ah, right-

“Then, I will leave today, Marquis Hujak-nim. Please consider-”

“Don’t worry, Sir Browless. Do you think I would want to put humanity in danger? If the wicked Minis come to their senses, there’s no need to be impatient.”

“But the chimera- no, I understand. Then, that’s it for today.... Let’s go, Leeha-kun.”

The moment Leeha was about to talk more, Browless pulled him. Leeha, who was about to speak to Ram Hwayeon, was hurriedly led out of the meeting room by Browless.

“Damn it, it’s a big deal. If Bluebeard and Ghibrid’s chimeras makes a mess during this time- no, if the peace treaty fails-”

“Don’t worry, Director-nim.”

“Hmm?”

Leeha shook his head for a while at the explanation. Whatever the explanation was, it meant that an ‘item’ was needed.

“Kek, so what and where do I get it? Just tell me.”

“I need a mineral that can control the flow of mana. I think there should be at least 300g of orichalcum.”

“Orichalcum? Is that the name of the mineral?”

“It is a material called the mineral of god. Get it if you can. It seems it is only possible if we have it.”

Bottleneck’s resigned attitude made Leeha feel somewhat ominous. Besides, it was called the mineral of god.

“That...... where do I get them?”

“Are you asking me that?”

“Huh?”

“It’s the mineral of god! Damn it, go to the Vatican, steal it, and come back. I have only seen it once in my dreams, but I haven’t seen it yet. You can get minerals that are treated as treasures of most royal families.-”

“A royal treasure?”

A word muttered by Bottleneck made Leeha’s ears perk up. A royal treasure? The Royal family? THe Royal Palace?

“Right. There are cases where the Vatican gives gifts to the kings of each country, albeit in very small amounts. Just know that it is such a rare mineral.”

Can you get it? Why don’t you just give up? Leeha did not get angry after hearing Bottleneck’s provocative tone.

“Is it in the storage room of the Royal Palace of Fibiel Kingdom?”

“What if there is? Are you going to steal it?”

“Yes.”

“W-What?”

“I have to steal it if you need it. It’s only fair. I’ll be back!”

He had rights that he hadn’t used yet.

The right of the first contributor to confidently choose three items at the royal storage. Leeha immediately returned to the capital.

“Such a madman.”

Bottleneck clicked his tongue and shook his head, but he didn’t know how surprised he was going to be.

***

“Should I go inside?”

“Yes.”

Kuzgunak’sh nodded to Faust’s question, whose skin was white. Faust was taken aback from his resolute attitude. He was telling him to go inside.

“But, as far as I know, the place was-“

“Hahaha, are you scared? Nothing will happen I guarantee you.”

“-Yes, count, I don’t doubt what the count said, but..... I just want to say it again. This place-”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I am here, and there’s red ruffian here too. So what are you afraid of? You just need to dip your feet once and come out.”

Faust could no longer refuse.

He had no justification to refuse Bluebeard, who he promised to swear his allegiance to.

If Bluebeard came out like that, there’s no reason to reject at all.

“Understood.”

Gulp, except for today, Faust had been having a lot of fun following the Fragment of the Demon King for the past few days.

‘Even though the proficiency of the Necromancy skill didn’t go up, the mana amplification by Bluebeard was amazing......

How much did his stats explode from just one tap of the cane?

Faust was much stronger than before with the number of corpses he could control multiplying. In order to maintain this strength, he needs to help Blue Beard and Kuzgunak’sh.

“Then I will go in.”

Kuzgunak’sh and Blue Beard nodded at Faust’s words.

Contrary to what the Albino Lizardia said while being frightened, what spread in front of him was a space that was no different from normal landscape.

Near the entrance of the snow-covered mountain.

As he took a step there, Faust felt the energy on his body.

‘Madness, this is madness.’

Faust shook his head. ‘Who’ belonged to the space he was stepping into now. The answer was readily apparent.
