“Well, the buff has been confirmed, so please take care of me in the future. both.”
“Brother, just trust me. “I will win everything.”
“Did you say it was based on trust? Don’t cooperate. “It’s also a kind of trust basis.”
With this, there was sufficient justification to make all the empires of the Choun Alliance into vassal states. Of course, I expected that it wouldn’t be that easy. Even after becoming a vassal, the level of trust may not increase.
If Baek Do-hyeon and Lee Jae-young’s numbers were at this level, there was a high probability that the numbers of the empire, which had no contact with Fan, would be at the bottom. The process of building trust will not be smooth either.
Therefore, Sehyeon planned to give a choice to the empires belonging to the alliance.
“There is news that empires are coming back to the Choun Alliance.”
“Wow, he left without looking back and then came back because he was ruined. Those guys should just eat them all up. Right, Zenka?”
“Everyone does it because they want to live. There is a high probability that the White Coat Alliance did not mention ‘sacrifice’ when they first gathered the empires. It worked out better. “If you think you have nowhere to go, you might feel a little bit inclined to fight.”
“You don’t know. “Most of them come in to save their lives and will fight before you even if you are holding their breath.”
Although Baek Do-hyun’s snorting words were cold, they were not wrong. Of the empires that return to the Chun Alliance, the majority probably do so because they need a place to hide.
In reality, those empires were more likely to sit back and watch the situation as if they were hiding. If you don’t think so, leave room to escape.
“Hyung, you’re scared when the lady gets angry. Can’t you tell her? “Please do something about them.”
“It will be resolved. “Agatha and Mr. Fan were both very angry this time.”
“I guess so. Most of the returned empires have expressed their support for the postponed plan to train Celestials, and everyone is talking about that damn potion. “I heard a federation meeting will be held soon.”
“Yes, it will open soon.”
Not anywhere else, but in Sehyun’s empire.
“Then everything will be divided. The empires that will become my vassals will join the alliance, and the empires that are not… I will go my own way. Well, even if you are not a vassal, if you express your will to fight, Agatha will probably accept it. “The fan is the problem.”
“He is like that too.”
“Until then, we just have to go around the tower and level up.”
It’s already been a week since we conquered the 86th floor. The time given to attack the 87th floor was about 3 weeks. Since he didn’t know what would happen in the meantime, he had to increase national power as much as possible.
“Then wake up first. “I think I’ll have to go into the tower today too.”
“Yes, let me know if you need help. “What do you want to do, Jaeyoung?”
“I have more… . No, I want to go and take a look at the tower too.”
Jaeyoung Lee answered while looking at Zenka with a sullen expression. He must have been at an age where he wanted to have fun, but Lee Jae-young’s shoulders were carrying as much of a burden as Se-hyeon’s. About the people of his empire and their future livelihood.
“Jaeyoung.”
“huh.”
“When everything is over, let’s go for a walk somewhere nearby with my brother. Or should we do something like camping?”
“really? Just 2 nights and 3 days like this? “I like 4 days and 3 nights!”
“huh. Let’s do whatever Jaeyoung wants to do. You know Mr. Frog? “Let’s ask Owl to pack a lunch for us, and let’s go to a big place and play to our heart’s content.”
Lee Jae-young’s eyes became bright. As if she had never been so sullen, Lee Jae-young looked excited and nodded her head again and again. Then he got up from his seat and started running down the open corridor.
“Brother, is it really?! I will work really hard! Zenka, let’s go!”
Zenka’s mouth opened wide. She was saying something to Se-hyeon, but she must have realized that Zenka couldn’t understand her, so she closed her mouth and greeted him with her eyes. And she slowly turned around. Of course, she didn’t forget to taste her.
Meanwhile, Lee Jae-young and Baek Do-hyeon were far away from each other for a long time. Lastly, Isis’ gaze lingered on Sehyeon for a moment. Isis, who had been silently looking at me as if greeting me, turned her back and left the place without any hesitation, as if she had never done anything like that before.
At first glance, the gaze seemed to be asking for my favor.
“Let’s move too. “I have to go around the tower too.”
When I raised my head, the bright blue sky came into view. Since the meeting was held outdoors on a nice day, there was a vast, unobstructed sky above her head.
When I looked at the distant panorama without a single cloud, a space without anything suddenly came to mind. Even the appearance of Bill Will, who does not know whether he is an enemy or friend.
I had to meet him.
As of now, Bill Will was the only one who had the information Sehyeon wanted. However, thanks to the heroes who were still on high alert, they were unable to even get to where Billwill was.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Sehyun had already exhausted all her rights to ask questions, so even if she went to see him, she couldn’t get the answer she wanted. Of course, that’s only if you go alone.
Sehyun had at least four ‘road players’ who had the right to ask questions. From Kwak Jeong-han and Kim Gap-jun to Yoon Je-ha and Huey.
‘Do I have to come out at night?’
It was an unthinkable sound. Sehyeon shook his head and stood up. Sooner or later, I change my mind to persuade Ruhak and go.
Two airships passed overhead with the sound of the wind. Sehyun stared in silence for a long time at the contrail left behind by the wind that crossed the empire.

When I received a call from Fan, it was three days after Baek Do-hyeon and Lee Jae-young became vassals. I was shocked to think of the empires that would have been in an uproar trying to preserve their own lives even though the situation seemed urgent due to the earlier contact than expected.
“so… “You’re saying we’re going to have a federation meeting here in two days?”
[That’s it. Everyone is showing their anger.]
As everyone expected, many empires turned their backs on the White Coat Alliance and announced their intention to collude with the Cloud Alliance again. Although he had asked Fan to host the alliance meeting again, Sehyeon could not have guessed that it would be held so quickly.
“How many empires have returned to the Choun Alliance?”
[There will be over 60 countries participating.]
“Did you announce the purpose of the alliance meeting?”
[Haha, before I even say anything, everyone starts talking about training Celestial Race.]
It was said that the purpose of the alliance meeting had not been discussed yet. The purpose of this federation meeting was to propose a vassal state. The positions of the returning empires may be different, though.
“Isn’t that because they want to live?”
Sehyun sat on the sofa, resting her chin, and responded coldly to Fan. Even though he was sitting close enough to touch, it didn’t feel like he was close, perhaps because the places were different.
Moreover, after the day when the world was dominated by the howl of a monster, noise often appeared in communications. Like right now.
Seeing the distorted appearance of the fan, Sehyeon waited for a moment for the communication to stabilize. Fortunately, the noise that was full of heterogeneity soon disappeared.
“When will communication become stable?”
[It is uncertain whether it will stabilize as it is a side effect of the barrier. I’m glad it doesn’t get any worse than this.]
“They say the White Coat League can sleep with their feet stretched out? “Why don’t you pay attention?”
[I’m giving it to you, but don’t get your hopes up. There is some pretty good news though. Would you like to listen?]
Fan tilted his teacup and asked with a smile. Sehyun tilted her chin and nodded crookedly.
[One of the central empires of the White Coat Alliance has turned its back. They contacted me to say they would join this side, and they said they would like to see you.]
“Who is it?”
[It’s ‘Schlan, the Magical Empire.’]

It wasn’t as good news as Fan said. It was an empire where there were suspicions that he was supporting Park Seung-gun, who was selling out the Celestial Race.
“Isn’t this the empire that was looking after the Toje Empire? “I guess they want to see me because I am a Celestial.”
[First of all, he is scheduled to attend the federation meeting in two days, so it would be good to find out his intentions then.]
“I will prepare for now. “You know that because I won’t have to do anything like last time.”
Sehyeon pressed his temples and answered. Two days later was quite a short period of time to prepare this and that. A hangar had to be left empty for the airship to dock, and a separate conference room had to be prepared to accommodate everyone.
[Then I’ll see you in two days.]
“Yes, please say hello to Agasa too.”
Fan’s smiling face disappeared after the noise. When the video that occupied one side of the room disappeared, the original office full of books appeared. Sehyun looked at the bookshelf, which was difficult to fit all into her field of vision, and then lay down on the sofa.
“Ah, it’s annoying.”
In the office, the only sound was the quiet sound of a quill pen moving across paper. Sehyeon turned his head and looked at Ruhak, who was signing a document with his back to the window.
Even now, when the end might come, Ruhak was busy with his work. Of course, if he did not work, the empire’s institutions would be paralyzed in less than half a day. Originally, it was a matter that had to be handled separately with Sehyun. The reason I didn’t do that was because Ruhak didn’t like it.
Sehyeon studied Ruhak intently, holding his head with his arms. The black wings on his back, unlike Sehyun’s, look overly solid, and he even has a neat and tidy posture that seems fixed without moving at all.
Even that quill. It somehow resembled Ruhak’s wing feathers. I think it’s the same thing if you add a little more.
“… Ruhak.”
“Say it.”
Ruhak answered, turning the pages of the paper without even looking at him. When I looked at the tip of his finger holding the pen, for some reason I remembered the hard feeling of digging into my wing feathers. It was not easy to overlap with the neat appearance of the present and the appearance of the day when he was rushing fiercely.
Maybe the act of tangling my wings that day was stronger than on other days, but in fact, I felt like that feeling was still following me to this day. Just by brushing Ruhak’s fingertips, I was reminded of that day.
Sehyeon was wondering what to do, but when Ruhak looked up, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Is it really that painful?”
Ruhak’s hand suddenly stiffened. When the quill stopped moving across the paper, an unintentional silence came. Ruhak’s inexplicable gaze fell on Sehyeon for a long time. But after a while, a soft word was spoken.
“It just hurt… .”
The tone was that he didn’t know. Ruhak clearly understood the words that did not even have a subject.
What Sehyun asked was about something that happened in the reception room a few days ago. At that time when the feathers of the wings were intertwined.
