Chapter 74 – Chapter 74
First of all, we need to finish the current situation quickly and move on to the next step.
Ji-ha, who made an appointment with the mayor in the afternoon, took only Enlil and Leticia and headed to City Hall.
The passers-by looked at the basement very strangely.
“That, who the hell is that?”
“What is going on?”
With the elves on the left and the dark elves on the right, it naturally draws attention.
Of course, Enlil and Leticia were different types of beauties, but that was not the reason.
“There is no one who doesn’t know that they are a bad race.”
“… Do I really need to accompany you?”
Enlil was so irritated that he vomited over the underground decision.
“Even if we have to meet, we can make an appointment at City Hall. Why do we have to go together?”
“It’s for public display.”
Rumors of Blue and Purple’s slaughter all night must have already spread in the Warris.
In the midst of that, when a common took an elf and a dark elf for a walk, it was inevitable to draw attention.
“…”
Enlil was eager to say more, but he just kept his mouth shut.
It’s what the underground does, so I’m holding back, otherwise I would have rejected it immediately.
Leticia, who had been looking happy as she came out in her new clothes, was also glaring at Enlil with her very annoyed face.
“Can we send that Dark Elf back? It’s been a long time since I came out, but the street is dyed black.”
“Why don’t weeds just get stuck in the ground? I don’t know why they walk around and snoop around the world. Then the world would not be interested in you.”
“Do you think you are shaking your hips like that lewdly because you want to get attention from underground?”
“… What did you just say?”
Leticia snorted at her as Enlil’s voice became bloody.
“Aren’t you shaking your ass to fawn on a man? What are you proud of?”
“… I don’t know about other times, but I can’t get past this time.”
“Oh, I agree. I feel like I want to completely grind you down and turn you into black dirt.”
Enlil put her hand on her sword, and Leticia summoned her magic into her arm, and her subterranean stopped.
“Stop?”
“…”
The two of them kept their mouth shut, but they didn’t stop staring at each other.
If there was no basement, it would have been enough to overturn it.
‘Aren’t blue and purple uniques not mixing hands?’
Since Unique is a high-ranking member of the camp, things could have gotten bigger.
Even when I saw the basement before, we only exchanged gossip with each other, but now both of them were easily heated.
“From now on, if we fight just one word on the way, we’ll skip that guy and proceed. And I really hate idiots who can’t control their emotions and make things go wrong. You will have to see me separately later.”
As the underground warned, Leticia calmly turned her head away, and Enlil kicked the dirt floor and avoided her gaze.
It seems that he understood it, so Ji-ha took her foot off again.
‘I guess I’ll have to pay attention.’
Enlil and Leticia should be used this way and that, but they are antagonistic like that.
Harmony between people is always important to the organization, and the solidarity of the Blue Seal Commons who follow the underground has now become stronger.
To avenge De Bang’s death, they evolved into limbs that follow the orders of the underground in perfect order while moving as a unit.
The problem is the Uniques, Enlil, Yura, and Leticia.
Yura has a finite personality, but Enlil is arrogant, and Leticia is angry.
Because of their long-standing antagonism in terms of ethnicity, they tried to confront each other whenever they had a chance.
Leticia asked with a pouting expression.
“So why are you going to City Hall?”
“I made an appointment with Dudinel. Following the mayor’s intervention, the two of you, representing Blue Seal and Purple Liberation, will settle this matter.”
“… Can I trust you?”
Seeing the gaze from the underground, Leticia quickly added.
“I have no doubts… Are you really going to fix it? With Dudinel’s recommendation, the elves would calm down to some extent… I’m sure there will be a lot of protests coming in from me.”
“I know the identities of the dead elves. Are the important families Galak, Hashar, Crea, Yadora, and Daphnil?”
“How can I…”
Leticia had a very surprised face, but she was natural for the underground.
If she was followed, she mobilized all the information networks of Baekjeon Baekseung, Dead Jahar, and Uven to collect information on enemies who would attack.
“I also figured out the families that oppose them. As soon as the complaint comes in, tell me everything. I will take care of it.”
“Okay.”
Leticia admired the underground preparations and agreed.
The basement spoke this time to Enlil.
“Pay consolation money to the bereaved families of the dead guards. This is from Blue Seal.”
“… Killed by Purple, why do we have to pay? Of course Purple should do it to me, right?”
“A few elves died, and now you hear that…”
Leticia, who was about to shoot, swallowed her words after seeing her basement.
The Underworld said to Enlil.
“We went too far. Thanks to your command, the elves were annihilated, but it wasn’t necessary. Let the Dark Elves bear the burden for that reflection.”
“No…”
Enlil’s face was so incomprehensible.
Of course, even if the normal rank soldiers died, the money for consolation to the bereaved family was not much.
Enlil’s personal possessions could suffice.
Moreover, since this incident would greatly increase Enlil’s evaluation in Blue Seal, it was absolutely not a losing business.
“Why me…”
Enlil did not understand why the underground was conceding such a ball.
Blue and Purple are in an era of truce, and there are few official fights, so it is difficult to build a military force.
The situation could have changed drastically if the underground had commanded this situation and reported it to the legend level.
Maybe it was possible to free the underground from the common and raise it above it.
Although unprecedented, it was by no means impossible.
“If you’re so grateful, pay it back with your body later.”
“What?”
It was Leticia who screamed at the words of the underground.
She looked back and forth between Underground and Enlil with startled eyes, then frowned.
“To that black ass now…”
“Didn’t I tell you not to fight?”
At the words of the underground, Leticia quickly shut her mouth.
But her angry eyes and annoyed look were still there.
”First of all, let’s get a promise from Enlil, who knows the relationship between me and Leticia. Leticia sees her liver through her lysine…’
So that the two don’t fight, I’ll have to touch them once.
The basement decided to do so, but City Hall began to appear.
Mayor’s office.
Thanks to sending a message in advance, Jiha was able to meet Mayor Dudinel right away.
When I brought Enlil and Leticia in, Dudinel, who was sitting alone, welcomed me.
“Welcome.”
“I came to finish the story.”
Ji-ha said right away and sat down on the sofa right away.
Dudinel couldn’t help but admire Leticia and Enlil standing behind the basement.
“You are very talented to bring two people together.”
“Is it worth a compliment?”
“It is not easy to bring elves and dark elves together. I struggled quite a bit too.”
The administrators who followed Dudinel also had elves and dark elves, but they were men without magical powers.
It was a very rare case when Enlil and Leticia, who had high self-respect and were unique, gathered in one place and did not even quarrel.
Underground looked around and asked.
“Is there anyone in Wordsland who doesn’t know that you guys are on bad terms?”
“I don’t want to answer…”
“Do I have to be friends with something like this?”
Jiha clicked her tongue as the two stared at each other.
“If you don’t want to see it that way, why don’t you just have a chat. Oh, can’t you do that? Are they from different camps?”
It would be better if I could fight against an opponent I didn’t want to see, but in a truce situation, clashes between unique grades were forbidden.
That’s why we only exchanged endless arguments, and only accumulated ill feelings toward each other.
As the basement looked ahead, Dudinel burst into laughter.
“Now do you realize what a great job you have done?”
“I want to do one more.”
“… I heard the news last night.”
Both denels nodded his head.
Perhaps he feels sorry for the deaths of his younger brothers and sisters, he continues his words with sympathetic eyes.
“It was unavoidable. Do you want me to mediate that as Mayor of Warris?”
“You must keep your promise.”
“What I promised was limited to the administration and security of Warris.”
“As Dudinel Camadra, you’re saying you didn’t promise to help?”
The two Denels shook their heads slowly.
“Of course I want to help. But I’m not in a position to act as I please. Even if you try, there will be a lot of opposition.”
“Then?”
“You convince the city councilors.”
“Lawmaker?”
It’s not even a democracy, is there such a thing?
When the underground was puzzled, Leticia intervened.
“These are the guys who represent Waris’ commerce and give their opinions on the administration of the city.”
“Ah, you mean local dignitaries…”
While collecting information on Galak, I also roughly knew the underground.
“So, you’re talking about a neighborhood meeting where the tobacco shop man and the hole-in-the-wall shop lady get together to protect the neighborhood’s commercial district.”
“… I’m not sure of the nuance, but it’s probably right.”
Jiha looked at Dudinel and asked.
“It’s about a noisy interest group. Is that something the market will deal with directly?”
Dudinel has no real power in the pants market, but he has authority.
“Because I have been responsible for a significant portion of their city’s operating funds. It’s hard for me to treat you carelessly.”
“Sounds like a bribe to the mayor of street vendors.”
When the subterranean was bewildered, Enlil explained.
“Warris is one of the largest cities in Wordsland, and it has various interests intertwined in a complex way. The Blue Seals and Purple Liberation co-rule, but the commercial realm is a bit more complex.”
“Specifically?”
“They are greedy for profit, willing to do anything for money. For example, they do not mind harming their camp.”
“So you’re paying for Dudinel as a safety measure?”
“We are collecting the official payoffs, but…”
Enlil’s explanation was intercepted by Leticia.
“Because it would be dangerous if you betrayed your camp and were publicly caught. The mayor, the administrators, and the peace officers are also sprinkled with money. We are also a bit reluctant to make small things big, so we turn a blind eye to a few things.”
“It’s an unofficial fund, but it’s essential to running this city. You will need it too.”
Jiha nodded at Dudinel’s words.
“These are the sponsors who built their position by throwing a lot of money.”
Enlil finished.
“Everyone knows, but I didn’t feel the need to touch it. Even if you touch them, they’re the ones who will make noise before they die, so I decided to sit by. And what I say, don’t hang up. Elf.”
“I couldn’t help it because the air became dirty when you opened your mouth, Dark Elf.”
“…”
As the underground looked back without a word, the two quickly shut their mouths.
Dudinel smiled contentedly at the basement.
“I saw people very well.”
“Anyway what… You say you’re going to mediate the fight between Blue and Purple, but you’re not complaining about the money-making sponsors? Why?”
“I hope you will listen to it yourself and make the lawmakers understand.”
You must already know, but are you hiding it?
Looking at the gaze from the underground, Dudinel said quietly.
“All of them are local dignitaries who play a part in this city. Wouldn’t it be useful for you to keep a look on your face?”
“… What is it?”
Underground nodded.
The barracks of Warris’ Blue Seals and Purple Liberation were now in the grip of the underground.
It is also necessary to secure a money line in order to further control the city.
“Okay, let’s clear the traffic. When is the meeting?”
“It starts in 30 minutes.”
“… This inspiration. This was the intention from the beginning.”
Jiha laughed in amazement, and Dudinel laughed in return.
“Didn’t I say that humans like fast things? And I also want to see your skills with my own eyes.”
“Ah, what good.”
Now is the time for him to slowly rise to the fore.
Underground nodded.
“I will do it. But in my own way.”
I will let the guys who rolled the abacus hard know who is the top.
