Chapter 966 – 966. Yggdrasil (7)
It wasn’t difficult to follow Boris.
No matter how [Coward’s Art] Is a deceptive item…
‘Go a little slower. It’s running like it’s running like shit…’
It was practically useless in front of the temperament window.
It was even used only once for cutting off the tail.
‘I guess there was only one. Well, I don’t mind using more…’
Thinking like that, I leisurely followed Boris.
We followed him to the outskirts of the city.
‘… It is not a place for people to live.’
At first glance, it looked like an area abandoned by residents due to shelling.
No matter how much Umbra did restoration work for the residents, he would not have been able to restore this outskirt.
In addition to the point problem, there would have been a lack of manpower.
So, the residents who lived here probably abandoned this place and moved to the center.
However, I did not feel any sympathy for the residents who were relocated in that way.
It wasn’t because I didn’t feel sorry for them.
‘It seems like it’s been abandoned for quite some time.’
It seemed like it had been abandoned for so long that it was questionable whether the residents who lived here were still living.
Buildings occupied by plants, not elves…
Although it was a horror of war, it was also a scene so great that I wanted to take a picture.
As I followed Boris with both sadness and admiration, I arrived at a huge stone building.
Boris signaled with a knock that seemed like a code at first glance.
Smart… Knock, knock, knock.
As soon as he knocked, the door opened.
“… Phew.”
Boris sighs as if he is entering his boss’ office.
I quickly entered the door just in time for him to enter.
Luckily, the door closed as soon as we went in together, and I heard a voice right away.
“Why did you come alone?”
A male voice that seems overly condescending to be considered a colleague.
And just as I thought, the owner of the voice was higher than Boris.
“… I was caught.”
“Mother…”
Cheap way of speaking with no respect for the honorifics of subordinates.
“What happened to the rest?”
“… “I told them to disperse for about half a day and then gather at the meeting point.”
“Good job. “Leave the rest to me.”
A friendly voice, unlike the cheap tone.
“Well, it would be a waste to kill the kids, but I won’t say anything since the opponent is the opponent.”
Unlike the friendly voice, the line contains cruel intentions.
‘Armonia, from now on, please bring up the visible temperament window.’
[I understand.]
With Armonia’s answer, the man’s temperament window appeared.
=====
Bayer
[Magic]…
=====
He was an ordinary wizard.
But it was just ordinary by my standards.
‘It’s a special job.’
In Yggdrasil, wizards were a chosen profession, with only a few people to choose from, like healers or prophets.
I wondered if this guy was the current leader…
‘No. No matter how much I think about it, he doesn’t look like a leader.’
My intuition never accepted the two beings as the same.
And as if to prove my intuition, a wizard named Veyer opened his mouth with a chuckle.
“Please let me know before you report it to the boss.”
Looking at the use of the expression boss, I could tell that there was a separate head.
As soon as Boris heard Beyer’s words, he slumped his shoulders and nodded at her.
“… “Yes, I understand.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Like that, Beyer and Boris started entering the building together.
While moving like that, Beyer asked Boris about the situation earlier as if interrogating him.
“How on earth did you fail so much that you threw it all away? ?”
“That is…”
Boris explained what she remembered in as much detail as she could.
After hearing that explanation, Beyer…
“Wow… “I heard it through rumors, but I didn’t know it was to that extent.”
“…”
“Don’t be too discouraged. “The problem was that we were given the task of monitoring such a monster in the first place.”
She admired Seongsu-ho’s skills and began to comfort Boris.
And to match that comfort, she also revealed her friendliness and tolerance.
“Relax your expression, dude! I will speak directly to the boss and lower the level of disciplinary action.”
“… Thank you.”
However, even though she received comfort and encouragement from Boris, her expression did not calm down at all.
At first, I thought she was doing this out of guilt for failing in her mission…
“Hey, Boris.”
“… Yes.”
“How is Jihyun doing?”
I knew it wasn’t the case when Yang Ji-hyun’s name popped up.
As soon as I heard his voice, I knew why Yang Ji-hyun’s name came out of his mouth.
‘I guess you were interested.’
Beyer is interested in Yang Ji-hyun.
That was my conclusion.
And as if to prove that conclusion, Boris’s expression became even harder.
“… “It looks like you haven’t been feeling well lately.”
“Aha! Is it because you haven’t seen me lately? Haha!”
“…”
Boris obviously couldn’t see her expression because she was wearing a cloak, but he could feel that she was rotting.
I was able to infer the relationship by listening to the conversation between the two more.
‘The reason I was nice to Boris was because of Yang Ji-hyun.’
Beyer is interested in Yang Ji-hyun, and because of that, she is nice to her direct subordinate, Boris.
“Every time I talk to him, he starts tickling, and I guess he feels empty without me.”
And although Boris hates Beyer, she doesn’t seem to be able to show any displeasure to the executive.
“…”
I followed the two men and smiled to myself without even realizing it.
‘I’m having fun.’
I have already tightly grasped Yang Ji-hyeon’s heart.
Even if I abandon her, she will not get back the heart she gave me and will think of me for the rest of her life.
It seemed funny to see two men hoping that they could win the heart of a woman who had already left the other side of the universe.
As I followed along and listened to the nonsense conversation between the two people…
“Do you know who I am!”
A familiar shouting sound was heard.
And I was able to immediately identify the person yelling.
“My name is Guildon! I am the captain of Arbos’s guard! If you untie yourself right now and show courtesy…”
It was a gambling addicted elf guild.
The guild and several elves were trapped and surrounded by members of the Red Crescent Organization.
‘After all, it was because of that guy.’
I would have thought that the reason they attacked the prison was really because of that guy.
While I was watching, Beyer approached Guildon and threatened him in a harsh voice.
“Hey, elf. I told you to be quiet, right? “If you flutter your snout just once, they rip your ears off and stuff them in your mouth?”
“This… This shallow guy… !”
Thanks to Beyer’s deadly threats, I was able to avoid hearing the Guildon’s loud voices.
After it became quiet, Beyer spoke to one of her subordinates, keeping her voice full of murder.
“Hey, you’re the one in charge of the winged horse, right? What happened to the winged horse?”
Beyer’s face and her voice lacked the friendliness that she had shown to Boris.
Just live.
The subordinate, discouraged by the murderous tone, answered with his voice trembling.
“That… That is… We managed to break into the stables, but…”
“… Just tell me what happened. “Didn’t you steal that winged horse?”
The winged horse meant Pegasus.
It seemed like he was referring to the Pegasus I had captured, not an ordinary Pegasus.
“Uh, I tried to bring him here somehow, but he just couldn’t listen… !”
The moment the excuses continue…
Whoa, whoa!
“Click ah ah ah!”
The body of the subordinate who was reporting suddenly began to burn with flames.
“Quaaaaah!!! “Kyaaaaah!!!”
He tried to put out the fire burning all over his body, but in the end, his attempt was…
Ta-tak, ta-ta-tak!
“…”
As my entire body burned black, my thirst for life became unnecessary.
Beyer grumbled, spitting at the disgusting corpse as if it were a dead mosquito.
“Tsk! “I’m stretching my tongue unnecessarily.”
I could tell what Beyer’s personality was like without looking at her temperament window.
And I was able to roughly check her skills.
‘Boris had a reason.’
The reason I couldn’t do anything even when I was annoyed wasn’t just because my position was high.
If Beyer had her way, she could reduce Boris to ashes like her now-burned subordinate.
I continued to observe them with a puzzled expression.
“Tsk…”
Looking at the burned corpse of the world-famous guild, it seemed that she could no longer speak.
And so did other elves.
In the midst of this silence, one of his subordinates appeared and spoke carefully to Beyer.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
“That…”
A subordinate whispering in his ear.
Beyer listened to his subordinate for a while…
“Good. “Take these little bastards and follow me.”
“This… Let go of this… !”
I started heading somewhere, dragging the guild-on and a group of elves.
After moving like that, the place we arrived at was the room.
For reference, the Red Crescent’s current hideout was a miserable building, on the level of an abandoned house.
However, the room we arrived in was decorated in a way that people could live in.
As soon as I entered the room, I immediately reused [Coward’s Art].
‘This will run out before we reach the 5th floor…’
Thanks to Souta, the coward’s techniques that had accumulated over 50 now only had 20 left.
‘I’ll have to find out how to make this later.’
With such regret, I looked around again.
There was already a passenger in the room.
Five people wearing cloaks and masks to hide their identities.
One person was sitting on the sofa, and the other four were standing side by side behind the sofa like bodyguards.
As soon as I entered the room, the man sitting on the sofa crossed his legs arrogantly and raised his voice.
“Please leave the elves behind. “I have something else I want to say.”
“… Okay.”
Beyer nodded his head in an offended voice and left the room with his men, leaving only the elf behind.
I looked at the guy sitting arrogantly on the sofa and muttered over the phone.
‘… Is that guy the leader?’
[I will bring up the substrate window.]
=====
Robben
…
=====
I checked the information about the guy sitting through the temperament window displayed by Armonia…
‘What? He’s an ordinary guy?’
Other than sitting arrogantly, he had no special abilities.
Although the bodyguards standing next to him had abilities, they were only at an average level.
Above all, thinking about Beyer’s attitude earlier, I was even more certain that she was not the leader.
‘He’s not even that guy…’
While I was wondering, the person who was sitting arrogantly on the sofa suddenly stood up and walked towards the guild.
Then she looked down at Guildon and bowed her head.
“You look hideous.”
“Go, how dare you… !”
“Dare… ?”
Robben, who was hiding his identity with a mask and cloak, looked down at Guild On and snorted.
“Joy! “If it weren’t for me, you would have been locked up in prison for the rest of your life.”
“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous! Even if it wasn’t for your help…”
“Do you really think so? Then I guess I didn’t see you very well… ?”
“…”
At first glance, it seemed like the two people already knew each other.
Robben continued to push Guildon.
“I personally provided an escape route and even hired them. “The moment I was caught, I would have been executed for treason.”
Treason?
First, it was a passage that gave a rough idea of the origin of a man named Robben.
‘Could it be from Umbra? However, if you provide a route and hire a Red Crescent, I don’t think you are just a villager…’
[If you don’t know, it would be a good idea to find out information through Lena.]
After Kang Han-na said that, she and Lena communicated separately.
And right away, I was able to find out the identity of the man named Robben.
[Mr. Lena asked Ardia, and she said that there is a marquis named Robben by her name.]
Haha… Crazy.’
The Marquis of Umbra went beyond knowing an enemy elf and helped him escape?
‘It’s a scoop.’
I overheard their conversation, laughing to myself.
The guild, which was strong at first, was pushed back by Robben’s momentum…
“That… “I appreciate that.”
In the end, I bowed my head to him and expressed my gratitude.
Robben was silent for a while, then he sighed and said.
“I’m sorry for pushing you too hard. But please know. The fact that I too made a big decision and turned my back on the country…”
“… “Keep that in mind.”
I kept eavesdropping on their conversation.
Through the conversation, I was able to understand the relationship between the two in more detail.
The Guildon and several high-ranking elves have joined hands with several nobles of Umbra, and one of those nobles is Robben…
I also learned that Robben was a traitor who joined hands with the elves and tried to sell out the country.
‘It’s a mess.’
It was a moment when I laughed heartily while overhearing the conversation between the two people.
Crash.
Suddenly the door opened, and someone started coming in.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk…
Like the other guys, his cloak was pressed down so deeply that his identity was unknown.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk…
And Beyer and Boris were coming in on both sides.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk, Jeopuk…
And as soon as he entered the room, Guildon and Robben started swallowing dry saliva and staring at him.
I was able to instinctively realize the identity of the guy right away from the atmosphere and the sound of his footsteps as he walked.
‘You finally appeared.’
The unidentified being who entered like that stood in front of Robben and Guildon and greeted them in a bright voice.
“It’s been a while.”
“The leader of the Red Crescent is coming in person… I never really called you…”
Haha. Of course, I came here because I had something I wanted to say separately.”
Even though I couldn’t see his face because it was covered by a cloak, it was the moment I found the guy I had been looking for.
I smiled to myself and spoke to Armonia via communication.
‘Armonia, temperament.’
[…]
‘Armonia?’
I wondered if there was a problem with communication again.
But fortunately, Armonia’s voice was transmitted through communication.
But…
[Sorry, Suho. The author’s temperament window cannot be opened.]
The problem was that it wasn’t the answer I wanted.
