Chapter 697 – Episode 697 3rd Irregular Meeting Minutes-19
Fire.
The basement said calmly.
“Did you catch the culprit?”
“No. The fire is spreading so much that it is not easy to put firefighters from all over the place. There is a lot of damage to private houses and loss of life.”
“Release the headquarters soldiers. Save lives and help the firefighters.”
“Then the internal security will be lax.”
“Then release it.”
Underground was not a misuse of the preposition.
This is the enemy’s bucket, pretending to suit it and then flipping it over.
Uben nodded his head.
“All right. Command will then send support.”
“Do you have Undine or Viona? Send him along and help put out the fire. Isn’t Undine good at controlling water?”
“Ah, yes.”
After returning to Warris, I hadn’t even looked at his face, but Ji-ha was aware of all the personnel appointments.
Participating in the festival of Dirga as the main character, knowing everything in detail and giving orders right away.
Uven backed away with renewed respect.
“…”
Narsha made a complicated face.
If it was the usual underground, he would have taken care of it himself.
But today was the day to strengthen his Dirga weapon, Divine Dirga weapon, with the blessings of the Dirga.
Jiha, who had to receive the Dirga’s blessing, couldn’t leave this place today.
“Of course…”
“Do you think so?”
The bottomless and endless sound, Jiha said while looking straight ahead.
“I told my enemies to think so too. Go on.”
“…”
From a sitting position, he sees through the enemy’s plans and actions and responds to them.
Jiha has been making the stage until just before today and is now trying to reap the fruits.
It was the subordinates like the hands and feet of the underground who moved for that.
Narsha gave her a quick nod and looked in front of her.
The next Dirga was waiting.
Warris Street.
The crowd was buzzing and unnerving.
The smoke coloring the sky black far away, even though the distance is considerable, it is said that it is an incredibly large fire.
“…”
Crea clicked her tongue inside her as she walked.
It was clear that Raphael’s colleague, Michael, had started the fire.
And now Crea was on her way to lead Raphael to his headquarters.
‘But what are you going to do?’
It was Crea’s mission to subdue Quadruple Raphael by trapping him.
Even so, if Raphael tried to run away, he honestly had no answer.
‘I guess I have no choice but to use Iroha as bait… Shall I pretend to be an ally until the very moment and then betray me?’
Courtesy In this situation, one might wonder if he would just join Epic again, but Crea didn’t.
For her, the safety of her grandfather, the dudinel Camadra, who was mayor of Warris, was more important than anything else.
Moreover, having been made an artificial Unique by Epic, her life expectancy was drastically cut. In the words of Darmans, is she a different fate than she is?
As Crea made her way through the crowd, she spoke to Raphael.
“Take off the hood.”
“It’s for camouflage.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Wearing a hood looks more suspicious in a crowd like this. Just show your face proudly.”
“…”
Still, when Raphael refused to take her off, Crea yanked at her in irritation.
With her silvery white hair exposed, Raphael looked at Crea with a wary gaze.
“It looks like you liked it, but from now on, it’s no joke. It means entering the middle of enemy lines.”
“It must have been empty.”
“…”
“All the troops guarding the headquarters must have flocked to Michael. Even if you do, you won’t be able to catch the fire.”
Crea said suspiciously.
“Even if you don’t know who it is, I believe you trust it… Right now, there are only four uniques of the Red Union in this city, and there may be other powerful people. No, right now, even if Yegrina is Michael, what will she die?”
Crea trembled inwardly.
Wasn’t it Yegrina who killed Darmand, who became a salamander?
She had the reputation of being the strongest among Uniques. In fact, she was not at all confident that Crea would fight and win.
She’ll be roasted by lightning, get mortally wounded again and again, and end up like Le Mans.
“I don’t trust anyone. I am just doing my duty.”
“Oh, yes. Take care of yourself.”
Believe in the ability to recover, but do it yourself when you see it.
Crea grumbled and stepped forward.
“Let’s change our clothes and go.”
Crea stopped by the inn where she was staying and she changed Raphael into her maid’s uniform.
“… Uncomfortable.”
Raphael frowned as if he didn’t like the fluttering skirt. Crea snorted at her.
“Unlike a horse, your tail wags?”
“Wolves originally wag their tails.”
“Is that a pendulum? Keep swaying in a steady rhythm.”
Krea, who said coldly, headed for the back door of the Red Union Headquarters.
Originally, the back gate was guarded by soldiers as a group, but now it was only one.
“This is Crea Camadra. This is Lu Xiao, my companion.”
Having said that, Crea took out her ID and showed it.
A simple portrait, and this ID with the Red Union stamp on it, allowed her to enter the headquarters.
It was also almost impossible to forge the jira taken with her magic tool, the magic seal.
“Come in.”
The soldier obediently let Crea and Raphael through. Since Crea’s identity was clear, Raphael was also a free pass.
“…”
Raphael had a strangely hard face.
Crea, who was ahead, laughed.
“Are you nervous because you are in the middle of enemy lines? Don’t worry. You won’t doubt me when you see me.”
“Something is strange.”
“…”
When Raphael even stopped walking, Crea felt a chill in her heart.
The intuition unique to wolf beasts, did they sense danger?
After all, Crea was brought here to betray Raphael.
“What is strange?”
“…”
Raphael let out a low cry and looked around him.
A sign of clear vigilance, Crea looked around and ridiculed it.
“Is there anything around? Nothing?”
“…”
“If someone sees this all of a sudden, the opportunity is gone. What are you going to do, are you going to quit?”
Crea bet on her win while suppressing her nervousness.
As long as Crea has decided to betray, Raphael is dead. It’s because Crea herself can wait for the other reinforcements to come while she waits for some time.
“Are you going to break the plan? If this happens, even I will be suspicious.”
“…”
Raphael softened his wolf ears and sighed.
“Okay. Go.”
“Okay then.”
Crea was relieved, but she looked back to see why her personality had become so harsh.
Of course, she was picky with underground people, but she wasn’t the type to blindly tickle people. Although she is picky when it comes to breaking the rules.
Is it just that I don’t like this wolf beast man?
‘… Yes, maybe.’
With the lives of her own brother and her grandfather coming and going, Crea has no choice but to remain loyal to the Red Union. She has to be loyal to that gunman, the underground, whether he likes it or not.
She is not free
On the other hand, this wolf girl seemed very free. Even in her gait and expression, there is no hesitation.
‘… Don’t you know that there are side effects to our procedures?’
Knowing and acting like this without hesitation is just astonishing.
As Crea headed to the annex where Iroha was staying, she looked at the sympathy around her. Shouldn’t it be felt at this point?
“…”
I don’t feel it.
‘What, you told me to bring Raphael? What should I do from now on?’
Of course, I expected that Yegrina and other uniques would be encircling them. It doesn’t look like that at all.
‘The scene of the fire… Did you go to catch that Michael?’
Crea was embarrassed inside, but tried not to show off. Because she can react like a sensitive wolf to her every move.
Crea stopped and pointed to her annex.
“On the 3rd floor of that building, Iroha Dead Heart lives there.”
“Are you sure?”
“I don’t usually come out of the building, but that’s for sure.”
“Let’s go.”
When Raphael recklessly took the lead, Crea was perplexed while following.
Doesn’t she really make her meet Iroha so that the battle shouldn’t happen? Would she have avoided Iroha?
“…”
Crea was startled as she looked around the third floor as she followed Raphael. She could see the tip of the jangjuk through the crack in the open window.
Iroha is now in the room.
“… Ah, testimony.”
Oops, I don’t know
Crea stopped. Rafael looked back at her.
Crea said as she raised her hand.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t follow Epic.”
“What does it mean?”
“I am no longer part of the Quadruple. Just an elf, Red Union Warriors Administrative Officer.”
“…”
Hostility flashed in Raphael’s eyes.
Crea smiled.
“I was shocked to hear that they would make full-time employees,” She asked. Is it good I can support her grandfather, and her brother can work the same way.”
“You’re going to become unique and betray me?”
“I wasn’t half my doctor. The Council needed a sacrifice for Epic, and with procrastination, it rolled over to me.”
Crea ordered as she pulled out the grappling rope.
“Surrender. Then you can finish without getting hurt.”
“If I was afraid of getting hurt, I wouldn’t be unique.”
“I know you’ve been energized and excited… The procedure has side effects. Do you know how Darman died? Epic only sees us as disposable test subjects.”
“I know.”
Raphael’s words surprised Crea quite a bit.
“An artificial unique, the quadropole carves a hole into the soul that leads to another world, so that magic power springs up indefinitely. But the more you use it, the bigger the crack gets, and when it crosses the limit, it collapses.”
“… Did you know that you received it?”
“Power has a price. Souls are cheap.”
Raphael raised his hand as he spoke.
Contrary to the purple magic on her fingertips and Crea’s worries, she didn’t seem to have any intention of running away.
Crea glared at Raphael and nodded her head.
“Yeah, one thing needs to be corrected. I thought you were a free-roaming girl, so I looked at you a little differently, but I apologize. It seems you have your own circumstances as well.”
“Then get out of the way.”
“I also have my own circumstances, so I have to cut off your limbs and tie you up to offer you.”
Raphael said firmly.
“Red Union can’t beat Epic.”
“Yeah, maybe. But it’s not my business to talk about those superiors, right?”
Crea was cynical.
“I was just a rare-grade girl with little fighting ability. She said she was a girl who worked hard on administrative studies because she wanted to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps. However, Leticia Jormun, who was a high-ranking person, became attached to the Red Union, and the council, which was worried, devoted itself to Epic’s proposal again. Epic sends me to the middle of the Red Union after performing a procedure with obvious side effects, Darmand, who is my partner, ignores me and dies because of his work, and I have to prove my loyalty by holding my family’s life hostage.”
“…”
“My sales are only going according to the taste of the really high-ranking people. So whether Red Union wins or Epic sucks, it’s not my part-time job. I just need to protect my family.”
Crea revealed this and spoke ferociously.
Raphael pondered for a moment before responding sharply.
“I agree with you.”
“Yeah, it’s good that we don’t have to talk about our misfortune anymore. Now let’s see who gets limbs cut off.”
Crea let go of the rope.
The fight between artificial uniques has begun.
