smart.

Again a knock rang out.

It's too polite to be called an assassin.

No, it might be more terrifying to show confidence like that.

Come on in.

Jinhyeok clenched his fangs tightly and looked ahead.

rumble.

When the door opens... .

An unexpected person appeared.

Hey. The hospitality of guests is Young Park. I've been to various houses, but this is the first time I've ever brought a knife in.

A handsome man with blonde blue eyes.

It was Abraham, one of the Duke's close associates.

The way he smiles while waving the half-remaining bottle of wine, anyone who sees it would know that he has been friends for 10 years.

You don't even have basic manners? Why do you come into someone else's room at this midnight hour?

Don't be hard on yourself. Have a drink lightly. You still have plenty of time, right?

Abraham strode inside without permission.

Alice in the living room was startled and put on the mask again.

And he quickly flew towards his room.

come to

He looks like a hamster running away from a cat when he runs away to his room.

Why is that friend doing that?

Leave it. It's because I hide my face a lot.

Isn't it? Hmmm. There are some eccentric mages, though. It would be even more special if they were skilled in the ranks of great mages.

A great mage?

Elise?

Did you not know? The magic that he showed us on the wall was so much that even Pilgrim-sama, the chief wizard of the Empire, stuck out his tongue.

Seriously, it's because he looks like a lot of hot water.

Elise is actually a great being.

Originally, it would have been difficult for the wizards and knights of the Empire to dare to receive Elise's rank from the front.

'But how did I become such an idiot... .'

Jinhyuk licked his tongue as he saw Elise sticking out her face from the gap in the door.

So you came all the way here to see him?

No, I came to see you. To be honest, I prefer swordsmanship rather than mages. The theory is that combat requires direct confrontation.

Why is it that all those who use swords are all crazy about fighting...

Well?

No. It's because there's a guy like you.

It's called celestiality.

There is a guy like a dream tree in the medical world who turns into a bloodthirsty swordsman when he makes a sword.

Exactly there was

Now, the Moorim guys and I must have smashed into the opponent's formation.

I'm tired of editing, but just like you said, let's have a drink. I just wanted to ask you something from my side.

Jinhyuk sat down at the table.

It's nice that it's cool. I like it.

Abraham poured a red liquid into the clear glass.

Since the table had already been swept away by Elise, the snacks were almost wiped out, but a few fragments of cheese would be sufficient.

If you have any questions, ask them. If you can answer them, I'll answer them.

Contrary to his appearance, he doesn't look like a bad guy, so why are you on the peacock's side?

At Jinhyuk's question, Abraham's fingertips flinched.

Hmm. That's a tough question from the start.

The night is already short, and I don't want to spend it with you all the time.

Fuhaha! Yeah. You two can't talk all night long.

Why? You must know what it means for the Grand Swordmaster to stand on the side of the Duke and not the Emperor?

You seem to know a lot about the internal affairs of the Empire, so don't worry. You too know how precarious the current imperial power is, right?

Emperor Reinhardt was a scarecrow emperor with both hands and feet amputated.

It means that for the future of the empire, a new star is absolutely necessary.

In other words, the princes who succeeded Reinhardt had to prove their worth.

However.

The 1st prince was old enough, but he was not the vessel to become an emperor.

'If there is an incompetent tyrant, he's a good fit.'

He was ferocious and cruel, and he coveted the pleasure and power right in front of him rather than spreading his reign.

The second prince, who was quite intelligent, was killed in a mysterious accident while out hunting.

'This was highly likely to have been done by the nobles.'

Finally, the third prince possessed the virtues of a monarch that will go down in history, but he was too young.

'It takes too much time to become a threat, and even the Weinstein's will have to be noticed no matter how much Bainsteln is able to use the hands of the second and third princes.

What is certain is that, before the 3rd Prince lays the groundwork and takes off, his wings must be ripped to pieces by the nobles.

...So you're on the side of the nobles?

For the sake of the future of the empire. The modifier of iron blood has long since disappeared, and the reality is that each kingdom is only looking to rebel against the Hoshitamtam Empire. Moreover, as long as there are Moorim and the Third Power, I had no choice but to make a choice.

Hmm.

The future of millions of empires is more important than an emperor, right?

Why did someone with such a cause approached me?

Abraham looked straight into Jinhyuk's eyes.

The anticipation of being able to change everything.

Are you serious?

I drank quite a bit, but not so much that I spit bullshit.

I thought he was joking, but the smile on his face, who had been smiling all the time, had completely disappeared.

This is sincere.

I know the relationship between you and Penheimer. After all, the old man didn't give up. So I investigated a little more deeply. A player from outside the tower that everyone in the Empire didn't care about... Actually, how great is his skill? Was there. And how many achievements he has accumulated. All.

Abraham took a sip of the wine.

Actually, I don't believe that a single human can change the world, even if the target is a Grand Sword Master who far surpasses the human realm.

So it was attached to the peacock.

If you can't make the best choice.

Because I had to make a second choice.

However, I changed my mind a little after seeing you. Maybe, one human could really change the fate of the empire.

Are you going to turn back to the Emperor's side again? Betraying the Duke?

Whether it will or not is not up to me.

This is what my actions decide.

Yes.

[Lv10 'Eyes of Gluttony' determines the truth of what the target says.]

[What Abraham said is 'true'.]

At least I'm not lying.

'This is going to be fun.'

Because of Abraham's whims, one big variable emerged.

A Hidden card that can inflict fatal wounds on the duke if used well.

'The question is, how well do you use it... .'

Jinhyuk's head began to spin rapidly.

How do you plan to join us?

As you said, without the help of the Empire, attack the giants' bodies and secure a base. Proving your skills is the premise of all of this.

Well, this is what I was originally going to do, so it's not a big deal.

Secondly. I heard that there is a friend of yours in Moorim.

It's not a close friend, it's close to something like a leech...

I don't know what's going on, but I'm very lucky to have the same side inside.

No, you're not on the same side right now?

The second condition is to obtain information from the inside of the Moorim from him. Of course, the information we are talking about here must be useful for the charter.

shit.

I don't intend to listen to this word at all.

It would mean that he would move that heavy butt only if he succeeded in both of them somehow.

Of course, even this was an unexpected harvest.

That's too good a paycheck for a break in the middle of the night.

Looks like we've almost finished talking. Well then, good luck. I'll get you up first.

Abraham stood up slowly.

With a little bit of worry and anticipation.

Jinhyuk summoned that guy as he remembered something.

Ah, I'm speaking to an old woman, but don't worry too much if you find out that something went wrong and you betrayed me.

What else does that mean?

It's not a big deal. It means that even if the situation turns out to be the worst, I can take care of you.

A piece of paper appeared before Abraham.

"The deceased a corporation?"

It's a great company. Is it a place to find talented people?

Jinhyuk didn't forget to make the last sales proposal.

As a representative of the company, the talented new employee has always been Shadow.

Time passed frantically as they prepared various preparations to attack the body of the giants.

There were only a few things to do, as there were only a few moves, and even the fastest route to the giants took more than a week.

You dare to ask Jim to carry the load?

Alice frowned as she looked at the pile of things.

But it was only for a short time.

Black...

Alice, who had a lump on her head, carried a load larger than her body on her back.

Next, I caught my eye next to Jinhyuk, who was proudly grooming his weapon.

I ordered T-Bone to focus on leveling up and growing in the bug burrow with sweet potatoes and other spirit beasts... .

Called back for this job.

Even if the other guys couldn't, it was possible as much as the T-Bone that was contracted as an undead monster.

Dalgrak. T-bone. It has become stronger. I will protect the Master.

T-bone inflated her bare bones.

uhm.

I'll have to give him a bath with ogre milk sometime.

Just by looking at the holes drilled between the bones, it seems that you are lacking in calcium.

I even felt strangely sorry for the thought of making me fight an enemy who was 30 times taller than my height difference.

So, are the three of us going like this? Up to there?

Yeah. Are you looking forward to it? Growing up with nature as a friend...

On the way, I also pick mushrooms and eat crayfish.

It will make you feel like you are camping.

Alice made a face that looked like she was about to cry, but she didn't know anything like that.

In the first place, in the Middle Ages, would it be reasonable to say that it was a comfortable and comfortable trip?

If it's late, I'll leave it.

Jinhyuk hurriedly hurried his steps.

Gee, wait.

Dalgrak.

Then Elise and T-Bone followed.

How many hours have passed?

As we moved away from the imperial capital, a secluded mountain road continued.

The warm sunlight and the smell of green grass. to fresh air.

It is quite a contrast to the spring in Seoul, which is full of fine dust and yellow dust.

sure.

In Seoul, the tail does not follow the usual daytime travel.

Even more so if they have a weapon.

Did you confirm?

Alice quietly opened her mouth.

As I quickly roll my eyes and look into the forest, I have no choice but to admit just one sense of mana.

Yeah. I noticed a little while ago.

At first, I thought they were like bandits.

The guys to be attached to this time are completely different from those guys.

'I can't even figure out the numbers accurately.'
