Episode 795: A Stolen Heirloom (17)
A hideout with countless sharp mental calculations in all directions.
A group of people wearing black robes like cloaks were waiting for someone.
A woman with red bobbed hair spoke disapprovingly.
“Are you really coming?”
The man sitting across from him spoke bluntly.
“well. This is what the left said, so we have to wait and see.”
“ha. You should be able to believe that a nobleman will come to such a grotesque place.”
I’ve been waiting here for several days, but I can’t find anyone who can be called a nobleman.
Because it is a place where no one goes in and out, the other day, they mistakenly mistook the dark merchant wandering around for the nobleman mentioned by the left, and treated them.
Later, when she found out that he was a mere trader, she felt embarrassed just thinking about that time.
However, since he couldn’t break the order and leave the hiding place, he had no choice but to stay here until the ‘noble man’ came.
I was spending the day as usual, but the fog slowly began to form in the distance.
This is mental acid.
Maybe after the rain, the weather was clear like this, but there was no way there would be fog.
Those who felt suspicious raised their heads and looked at the stranger.
He was wearing a black robe like them.
The only difference is that the hood is worn so deeply that the face cannot be seen properly.
Looking at her small kidney, which, even from a distance, would only be about the height of an adult’s chest, the polite woman asked sullenly.
“Who are you?”
OK.
A young voice came from within the black hood.
“You are very short.”
After saying that, when I moved my fingers once, the woman’s knees collapsed.
“Ugh!”
“I hurriedly came because there were talented people, so I never thought they would be such kids. The left eye is also very low. Tsk tsk.”
The boy pulled up his hood.
Then, sure enough, there was the face of a young boy who must have been fifteen.
The woman, who was confident in her skills, looked surprised when she saw the boy who had subdued her with only her fingers.
He glanced over the crowd once.
“Your eyes open in a frightening way. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”
After putting down his luggage, he unpacked the bundle.
Cheerureuk-!
Dagger Long sword A one-handed sword that curves into a mysterious shape and a large magic stone.
Even a staff made from a sacred tree that elves grow.
said the boy, who had confided in all his burdens.
“I heard from this left that your talent is the best out of 100 people. I’m thinking of teaching a few of them, so pick something useful.”
“...Then, is the nobleman you are talking about an elder?”
“Honey? joy! I’m just doing my own thing Don’t think about tying it up with the black room or something.”
At that, they became even more puzzled.
Even though he seems to have a deep relationship with this left and has this level of ability, he is not in the black room.
The boy shook his hand as if the complicated story was over.
“It’s okay, so take your pick.”
The young voice and way of speaking are a bit difficult to adapt to.
In the end, they touched this and that in the bundle and picked out one or two items.
There were a total of eleven items in the bag, and considering that there were twelve of them, it was clear that one person would be uneven and fall out.
The young man who had nothing said to the boy.
“What can I do?”
“huh? well.”
After thinking for a moment, the boy smiled.
“You don’t have to do anything.”
Kwaaaang-!
I thought the sleeves were shaking a little, and then there was a roar.
Amid the thick smoke, the young man was holding the boy’s wrist tightly.
The boy was also quite surprised by the unexpected situation.
“You... have you stopped it now?”
“yes. Blocked. It was rude to attack blindly.”
“Am I dreaming right now?”
Allied forces advanced south.
Halfman, who was closely watching the movement of the Black Room, felt that the time had come.
His prediction was not wrong.
The branch manager hurriedly entered the office.
“Sweet Lord! Did you hear the news? The Empire has been attacked!”
Lessian Empire.
The loser of the continent was preemptively attacked by Heukbang.
What that meant was great.
“How much damage is it?”
“One border post completely disappeared overnight. Could it be because of magic?”
“Mmm.”
I heard a report that the forces of the Black Room were moving.
But I didn’t expect to act so quickly.
As far as I know, I had to prepare for it.
“Support the empire with supplies. If possible, it would be good to share the information we have. Lessian should know what the black room is aiming for.”
The branch manager said as if he was embarrassed.
“That blocked all roads to Lessian.”
“what!”
If not one or two roads are blocked?
Does that make any sense?
The branch manager explained.
“It may be hard to believe, but it is true. Most of the roads going up north are blocked by the allied forces, so we can’t break through.”
“You can use salt bridge!”
“Sea routes and quite a few bridges are all blocked. Because of the distance, even the mana crystals can’t reach them, so there’s no way to contact them right now.”
“Kuaaaaa!”
Harpman let out a scream or shout.
There is no time for this now!
You must contact Lessian immediately!
“You don’t have to make a fuss about it, do you? This is Grecian. I’m being pushed by the black room, but I won’t.”
Unlike the calm branch manager, Hafman shook his head furiously.
“No, I will be pushed.”
“Do you have any reason to be sure?”
“They aren’t looking for an all-out war.”
Aren’t you aiming for all-out war in a war?
The branch manager tilted his head at the incomprehensible story.
“Then what are you aiming for?”
“The forces of the Black Room have destroyed the borders of the Empire. What do you think lies behind it?”
“Yes, there must be the territory of the margraves. Wouldn’t the nobles gather private soldiers and fight against them?”
“Then, what if even the enlisted soldiers were killed and the titled nobles died one by one?”
The branch manager, who was about to say something, finally realized what Hafman wanted to say.
“You must be hoping for a disintegration from the inside out.”
“okay! When the nobles start to die, they will be dissatisfied with the imperial family who can’t stop the black room! That’s what the black room is aiming for!”
“But aren’t the wyverns holding out in the imperial family?”
“Does the wyvern feed you? If you start releasing the wyvern just because you have a little bit of dissatisfaction, it means that a civil war will begin in earnest!”
For all of this, you have driven the allies north and seized the Lawfield plains to cut the passage!
My teeth trembled at the meticulousness of the black room.
In fact, the Lessian Empire was now stranded and isolated.
Even if I knew the information, I couldn’t tell you, so it was just frustrating.
Harpman, who had been shaking his head for a while, jumped up as if he had a good idea.
“Ira-sama! The only solution right now is Aira-sama!”
“If it’s Aira-sama...”
If she can use teleportation magic!
You will be able to fly beyond where the allied forces are guarding and procure information to the Lessian Empire!
Harpman shouted.
“Send communications to the principality immediately! We must help the Empire at all costs!”
The Lessian Empire is the main axis of the continent.
If the empire collapses, the continent will be split in half, facing a terrible situation with the allied forces on the top and the dark side on the west.
Halfman, who wanted to stop that, stomped his feet impatiently.
