Chapter 49

Episode 49. A secret magic was activated in Bahat’s eyes as he watched

Bahat’s heart and the back of Adrias leaving the Krates Mountains .



‘It keeps changing.’

In fact, when I first made a bet with Adrias, I used magic without even noticing.

At that time, I was puzzled to see that there were two mana storages, but now the whole body was empty as if there was nothing at all.

‘What the hell are you hiding, Adrias Cromwell?’

Many of the original sins remained undisclosed.

That’s why I guessed that there would be many unknown features.

But Bahat had no intention of touching Adrias.

Rather, even if he had original sin, he was even thinking of hiding it.

‘The Emperor has changed.’

Even the emperor, who was intelligent in his youth, gradually changed as he grew older and passed the years with power.

The culmination of that was the case of vomiting Kane Cromwell.

Of course, it was a secret incident that many people did not know about, but it was a shaking of the head for Bahat, who was watching from the side.

‘It’s foolish to be loyal to the emperor even after seeing such a thing.’

There was no one who would be truly loyal to an emperor who abandoned his faithful servants.

And that was a common language for Bahat as well.

Rather, he even harbored guilt for not being able to protect Kane.

‘So I’ve been taking care of Adrias and Amy secretly... ... .’

I had secretly protected it from the emperor’s demonic hand.

Fortunately, his ability was great, and his status as Lordlen’s Magic Tower made him possible.

Thanks to that, his relationship with the emperor was getting worse day by day, but as the head of the Albino family, he had nothing to bow down to.

‘And I got a proper reward this time.’

Thanks to Adrias, his children survived.

In fact, it was his own power that the terror incident was finally ended.

Of course, the search for the ringleader was still ongoing, but the interrogation of Adrias and Vivian was terminated early.

‘Even if Adrias is suspicious... ... .’

He eventually abandoned his old friend.

Thanks to that, I was full of regrets, and this time I will help Adrias behind the scenes so that no more regrets arise.

After the conversation with Bahat was over, the assistant stood in front of the room, probably waiting all along.

“I will see you off.”

Following him back to the hall on the first floor, I saw Lucia and Vivian, who were still waiting.

What kind of congo food do you want and wait like that?

“senior. You got something strange.”

Lucia’s gaze turned to the Galaksur hanging from my waist.

Then Vivian’s gaze also turned to my sword.

“... ... Pretty.”

Did you like it?

Still, I had no intention of giving Galaksur.

‘It wouldn’t be bad to get me a sword or something as a thank you later.’

As long as she is tied to me, her unfortunate fate will change as well.

Although it seems that it has already changed halfway.

I came out of the mage tower, thinking of materials for various swords that came to my mind.

Anyway, how long are these two going to follow me?

“Lucia.”

“yes. senior.”

“I was researching potions recently and got a clue?”

“What?”

“You should do some research.”

Was it a sudden word?

her eyes widen

“Suddenly? Rather than that, can you just let me know?”

“uh. It’s just a rough guess, it doesn’t mean much.”

It really couldn’t help but the hint I would give was a clue about her cure.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there was no commercial value anyway, so it would be advantageous to give her a hint and let her do research, as it would save me money and time.

‘Still, if I can’t make it, then I just have to step in.’

A good sister and a good brother-in-law.

First of all, unlike other characters, it shows the biggest difference in that it is a character directly connected to sin.

I’ve been playing games for a while, and I’ve said everything about not only seeing the sin that was hard to see even though it’s the most story-related item, but to the point of owning it.

And the characters in the past have never been related to politics.

So, among the dukes, it was impossible to know who was from the emperor’s faction.

It happened because he couldn’t even imagine that the empire would collect sins in the first place.

After spending time making all sorts of guesses and reasoning, I was able to arrive at my destination in 12 hours.

‘I’m sick of trains now.’

Still, it can’t be helped because it can’t be compared to traveling by carriage in terms of comfort and speed.

And the real problem started now.

‘The Krates Mountains are a demonic land. Most of the wagons will refuse to board.’

For now, I decided to bargain as far as I could, and headed to the carriage waiting area near the station.

However, the reaction was as expected.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not going that way.”

“Even if you give me more money, compared to the price of your life... ... .”

After seeing those who refused to drive horses in that direction, I ended up buying a horse at the horse market.

Still, it was fortunate that he learned the basics of horseback riding because he was a nobleman.

Checking the rough-hewn map, it would take two days to reach the beginning of the mountain range even on horseback.

Besides, I don’t know how long it will take if I think about climbing the mountain.

There are probably various beasts and monsters... ... .

‘It’s fucking right, really.’

A thirsty guy has to dig a well.

I was very excited at the thought of being homeless for the first time in a while.

* * *

A huge mansion located within the imperial capital.

The owner was Jared Tyson, the head of the famous Jared Merchants, one of the five largest merchants on the continent, and who held the capital’s underworld in his hands.

He rarely visits the mansion because he usually works for the upper ranks, but for some reason he has been living in the mansion for the past few days.

“Hoo-wook.”

A man on one knee in front of Jared, who was spitting out cigarette smoke, posted a report.

“I got a call from the academy.”

“What contact.”

“They say a rat came out of the burrow.”

“Whoa.”

Jared, who once again sucked and spat out the tobacco, said with a smile.

“The rat who dared to ruin the food for Master Zefar has no fear. Or are we being looked down upon?”

The offering to Zefar failed.

Moreover, it was not enough that the plan was ruined, and even Payat Cobon, one of the most elite members of the Order, was killed.

Thanks to that, the church’s prestige was even weakened as they prowled the empire to find the masterminds behind the terror.

‘It was nice to take a little bit of Muriel’s share due to Payat’s vacancy, but... ... .’

I shouldn’t show off this joy.

Now, as an executive of the Zefar Church, it was time to rage.

An informant hiding within the academy was able to identify two students who happened to be seriously injured that day.

It seems that the academy went quietly to hide the fact about the terrorism, but Jared could see that the two students were the main culprits in ruining this plan.

Of course, it’s unlikely that just two students killed Payat, so there must be an unknown helper.

The servant who heard Jared’s angry voice lowered his head and replied.

“I will take action immediately.”

“okay. But let’s listen. Where is he heading?”

“The last information passed on is that it is the Merteon estate.”

“Mertheon?”

Jared couldn’t hide his wonder at the completely unexpected name.

What was the purpose of going to such a mountainous remote area?

Merteon was a countryside with nothing at most, except for being close to the Crates Mountains, which were called the Devil’s View.

Are you going to the Crates Mountains?

why?

“Why is he going to Merteon?”

“sorry. I’ll check.”

“No. What can I know by checking?”

It didn’t matter where the rat went to Merteon.

That guy, Vivian Velokan from the Knights Faculty, and even an unidentified powerful person.

“I will announce to the whole world what happens to those who dare to touch our church. I will make an offering to Zefar with their bones and flesh.”
