Helmut
Episode 322
At the time they were talking to Theresa, Helmut and Area were entering a restaurant.
It was a noisy restaurant on the first floor of a large inn.
The food was below average. Although it wasn’t Area’s preferred type, a place like this was the best for gathering information.
They came here faithful to their original purpose. I don’t know when they will leave, but for now, they are Rodril’s guests.
Helmut and Area’s intention was to do the bare minimum as gourmets.
“Everyone is friendly.”
Helmut muttered. The current King of Veneta has not been on the throne for long.
However, the country was quickly entering a period of stability.
Not only was the current king the only surviving heir to the throne, he was also resourceful and had the support of Duke Fidelis.
Although the foundation cannot be said to be solid, it is only a matter of time before the King takes control of Veneta. It would be nice if there was something more to drive a wedge into… … .
Besides, this is Fidelis. It was widely known that Duke Fidelis had sided with the current king after his daughter.
Since the current lord was on the king’s side, Fidelis was bound to have a good evaluation of the king.
“If Fidelis had been on the king’s side, he would have intervened in this matter.”
Area, who had barely even touched her meal, muttered. Anyway, this wasn’t her type of restaurant.
“Because Fidelis would know what Rodril is. There’s no way King Veneta wouldn’t have been involved in messing with Rodril. “He either opposed it or led it.”
“An earth spiritist with absolute power. “How can I touch you?”
Isn’t that like messing with Elaga? Helmut’s doubts were natural.
Of course, the current Elaga was something more than that. A monster capable of destroying a country.
Even if they faced the temple head-on, it seemed unlikely that Elaga would lose, no matter how weak the monster was to divine power.
He was like the devil who had appeared again.
“Because we have restrictions, we have things to protect, and so we are humans with limits. I guess they thought it could be used as long as it didn’t hit them directly. “Because it is noble to make appropriate use of everything that is available.”
“Are you saying it was the nobleman’s idea, not the king’s?”
“Would the king who had just won the succession war and ascended to the throne be willing to take the risk of confronting Rodril on his own? He’s the one who has to take the risk, right? Someone must have had a strong argument. “A person who is very close to the king and whom the king trusts.”
Area’s guess was close to the truth.
“I think it’s Fidelis.”
“If Sian had gone to talk to Fidelis, the problem could have been easily resolved.”
“If their requirements are at a level that Rodrill can meet. “It means that since they used such drastic methods, they will try to compensate in the future.”
Area tilted her head.
“But why did they separate us? “If you are in contact with Fidelis, it would be safer for you to join us.”
It felt strange that we left the strongest Alea and Helmut and went by ourselves. Helmut gave a simple answer.
“Maybe it means coming to the rescue if there’s a problem.”
“Yes, it’s not good for us to be in Fidelis’ eyes.”
It goes without saying that Helmut is in the public area of the temple. The point is that information about them should not be known to the world.
Even road reels can get into trouble if they get involved. That will be Rodril’s weakness against Veneta.
“The food doesn’t taste good, let’s go somewhere else.”
Helmut’s plate was almost empty.
Having lived in the forest of Helmutja Pahe for so long, I was able to eat roughly, but area was a problem.
When Helmut thought of her, Area rolled her eyes and smiled.
“good idea.”
I picked up a lot of things to match the assortment. We’ll just have to listen to Si’an’s group as soon as they return.
Wow!
At that time, there was a commotion on the other side. It seemed like there was a fight going on. One of the giants grabbed one of the men by the collar and hit him on the cheek with his palm.
puck! Nosebleeds were flowing from the man’s nose. Next to him, two men glared fiercely.
People around me lowered their voices and whispered.
“Those kids are doing that again.”
“Why did the lord accept those guys?”
“Are you saying that these guys are now running around legally in the territory? “You’re talking nonsense.”
I stopped getting up and listened to the story for a while, and it seemed like they were a gang of gangsters known around here. He often gets into fights, beats up someone, and then empties his pockets.
However, he said that he doesn’t kill people, but picks people who won’t cause much trouble and picks fights with them.
People sitting next to me who appeared to be merchants were talking with anxious faces.
“The place those children belong to…” … what? They say that the underworld group is now officially active in Veneta. “That’s why small children are so energetic.”
“Why did His Majesty the King make such a choice?”
“I guess there was a deal. How can we know the circumstances of the higher-ups? Let’s eat quickly and leave. “It’s just a spark.”
Helmut’s eyes narrowed.
‘Underworld group… … ?’
Something suddenly occurred to me. Black Hawk. A huge underworld group that had a major conflict with Helmut and was capable of doing business with the king.
They could have made a deal with King Veneta on the condition that they would be allowed to operate legally.
Because Hawkeye’s Talon seemed so flexible.
‘It has nothing to do with me.’
In any case, there will be no further contact with Black Hawk. It was the moment when Helmut and Area were about to stand up.
A large man who had been looking this way for some time approached them.
He was filled with excitement after beating up a guy just a little while ago. The smell of alcohol was wafting from the man, who seemed to have already had a few drinks.
He looked down at Helmut and grinned.
“Isn’t this a guy who doesn’t know if he’s a woman or a man? “Someone who looks like a woman is wearing a woman?”
Helmut’s gaze lifted slightly. It was a small movement, like drawing a straight line, but it was strangely daunting.

Blonde hair and blue eyes. It is not his original appearance, but is closer to the hide he had taken before.
It is far from a threatening impression. However, there was a strong feeling that no one would be able to see him easily.
The giant stopped. This is because his instincts stimulated him in a subtle way.
But I couldn’t just back down from this handsome guy. Because I was drunk, my instincts could not overcome my excitement.
“Look at how arrogant you are! “You idiot!”
bang! A violent noise echoed across the table where they were sitting. The water glass shook and liquid poured out. Strangely, not a single drop of water splashed on both Helmut and Area.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to fight in a place like this?”
Area asked calmly. These were words addressed to both Helmut and Geoghan.
A guy like this wasn’t a big deal, but Area didn’t want to draw attention to him by making a fuss.
But it was clear that those words sounded offensive to the giant.
“This bitch?”
Helmut’s eyes became cold. On the other side, the party encouraged the giant.
“Zach, what are you doing there? “Please take care of it quickly.”
Helmut opened his mouth.
“They say they want to fight.”
“Then finish it quickly.”
The conversation was simple. That made me even more angry. The giant raised his fist that hit the table.
“You bastard!”
Then, while swearing, he lashed out vertically at Helmut.
The results were cruel.
Quack! Quad deuk! Coogung! Helmut didn’t even draw his sword. He just moved his hand a little.
The giant fell to the floor, spewing foam, and his arms were bent grotesquely in various directions. It’s as if the outside is the same but the inside bones have been broken into pieces.
There was no focus in his trembling eyes. He appears to have fainted.
Helmut wiped his hands with a napkin. His eyes were as cold as ice.
“Oh, was it that bad?”
It’s not like you’re lightly manipulating it; it’s like you’ve completely killed it. Instead of saying that Area was being harsh, she glanced at the lying giant and urged him on.
“let’s go.”
I’m still breathing. That means you can still avoid murder.
Even if he died, Fidelis wouldn’t care that much, but they said there was a force behind him.
Fortunately, Geohan’s companions, perhaps overcome by Helmut’s overwhelming ability, did not catch them leaving the restaurant after paying the bill.
Helmut and Areaa remained calm as if nothing had happened.
Not long after leaving the restaurant, Helmut and Area ran into Xian and his group, who were returning to the downtown area after a conversation with Theresa.
It was good timing. However, Xian and his party did not recognize them right away. Because they were both changing their appearance.
It was only when Helmut stopped in front of them and spoke to them that they recognized the two men. He seemed a little surprised, but quickly adapted.
“Huh, Helmut? And next to it… … Is it Area? “It looks unfamiliar.”
“You changed your appearance. Helmut, you still stand out.”
“But I found it right away. “You’re lucky.”
“But it seems a bit noisy over there? “Did you just get into an accident?”
Sian pointed out a restaurant beyond Helmut and Area. Helmut tilted his head slightly.
“It’s no big deal. “There was a bit of a fight.”
“… … “I don’t know what kind of person he is, but I wish him condolences.”
Asuka clicked her tongue. Area opened her mouth.
“I heard some information. How did the story with Fidelis end?”
At Alea’s brief question, Xian paused for a moment.
This was because he could not determine whether Area knew that Teresa was Fidelis and whether she knew that she was here.
‘Why do I care about this? It was a long time ago when Teresa approached Helmut. Besides, it’s not my job.’
Even while thinking that, Sian somehow naturally hid it.
The conflict between Teresa and Area. It feels terrible. Although there will be an overwhelming difference in skills.
“Duke Fidelis’ daughter was a graduate of Greta Academy. She said she would officially find her village soon. “I need to talk to her parents about what I found out here.”
Helmut and Area noticed many things from that brief explanation.
“Then let’s go back now.”
They immediately left Fidelis, leaving behind the commotion in the restaurant. Leaving behind some ashes.
And that ashes became embers.
