Episode 124
Chapter 6
Colin Brosnan, the Continental Battlegrounds Ascension Branch Manager, has had two concerns lately.
One is that the recently appointed Ascendant Branch Manager of the Alaves Adventurer’s Guild is a mysterious figure.
That was the first concern.
‘The Aveiro we had before was a pretty good guy… … I wish he could do as well as that guy.’
Among the symbiotic relationships, there is a word called mutualism.
Alaves Adventurer’s Guild. And the Continental Battlefield.
These two groups could be said to be a good example of symbiosis.
Although the scope is limited to the Kingdom of Teslan, the definition of the word does not change.
Colin slowly raised his head.
A large group of people sitting around a large round table.
The one sitting at the top of the table wasn’t Colin.
Quite a large physique.
A man who is not bulky, but has systematically built muscles and an intimidating aura that makes him difficult to approach.
Roland Lynch, the leader of the Continental Battlefield.
His nickname on the continent is ‘Golden Insect’.
I have to talk to him from now on.
This was Colin’s second worry.
Colin took a deep breath as if trying to relieve the tension and slowly opened his mouth.
“The situation in the Kingdom of Teslan has recently become unusual.”
The total number of people gathered in the conference room is 14.
Two masters and three secretaries assist Roland.
In addition, there are those who occupy key positions on the continental battlefield.
It was certainly full of extraordinary characters, one by one.
Among them, Colin’s ranking is a whopping 6th.
This is by no means low.
Considering that the branch manager in charge of the capital of Teslan is ranked 8th, it cannot be said to be low at all.
“It is certain that there was an attempt to assassinate Mazar Teslan. They ended up blowing themselves up, and they left behind a will, which you all know as ‘Long Live the Tulkan Empire.’”
You could call it a kind of briefing.
“The Tulcan Empire claims that they have nothing to do with this incident, but few people in the world currently believe that. It is entirely possible.”
Hardliners and moderates.
When two huge whales fight, the backs of the shrimps around them break in the aftermath.
This is a common case that can be found countless times even if you just skim through history books.
“but.”

That’s a common case.
Those who move the world do not simply believe what they see.
The same is true now.
Colin pauses for a moment and slowly looks around.
“The flow is too orthodox. As you all know, strange rumors have been spreading on the continent recently, such as the failure of a dragon experiment. Investigative teams from each kingdom, including our continental battlefield, have been dispatched, and all investigation teams, including ours, have confirmed that the core parts of the rumors are all true.”
Some nod.
“The hardliners who approached the high-ranking nobles of the entire kingdom, claiming they would achieve immortality through the dragon experiment, and the moderates who tried to stop it from the beginning. At first glance, this incident may seem like the aftermath of the clash between those two groups. They held them back and took strong measures. But is that really true? Is it that simple? There is no one here who sees the world only from the surface.”
This time, not just a few, but everyone nods.
Among them was Roland.
They are not stupid.
If you were an idiot, you wouldn’t have been able to lead a huge organization like the Continental Battlefield.
As I said before, the flow is too classic.
That makes it even stranger.
If you listen to the story and look at the events that took place, it goes beyond strange to bizarre.
So I thought about it some more.
The events that occurred and the aftermath of those events.
The situation and political conflicts on the continent.
When we connect all of these things, we arrive at one conclusion.
Those present are those who have realized that conclusion.
The emotion they were feeling right now wasn’t surprise or anything like that.
A kind of discomfort.
What is happening on the continent today is not because of the confrontation between hardliners and moderates.
To put it simply, the hardliners were hit in the back of the head, and the moderates unexpectedly gained an advantage.
That is, someone made the board.
A third organization that has not been revealed until now.
An organization that made all the key figures of the Tulcan Empire and each kingdom, including the Continental Battlefield, into long-term partners.
The word discomfort was appropriate.
“The strongest swordsman on the current continent, Heinckes Beckerman, and his disciple, the genius Merengues, who achieved the 9th Circle at the age of 28. Everyone here knows that the two men were found with one arm cut off. Surprisingly, the one who did this to them was a man who appeared to be a swordsman. And the black-haired female magician who accompanied the swordsman. This is something that Merengues and Beckerman personally testified about, and it is an open secret in the Tulcan Empire. In addition.”
Colin’s eyes, as he scanned the data, stopped at one part.
It was written as a special note.
This is something I found strange while organizing the data.
Colin continued speaking in as calm a tone as possible.

“The man used a strange energy that looked like black smoke, and as soon as the energy wrapped around his body, he turned into a black demon… … there was also testimony from Merengues.”
If you think about it, it might seem strange.
Why did Roland, the leader of the Continental Battlefield, come to this Ascendible territory?
Advertisements
Why did his two masters and closest associates come here?
It’s simple.
“The masked man’s whereabouts are unknown, but the woman next to him is.”
Colin slowly raised his hand and unfolded a piece of parchment lying next to him.
The parchment had a picture of a woman’s appearance on it.
When Roland and the others saw that sight, they forgot the situation and expressed their admiration.
“Hoo… … .”
“… … If that montage is true, then it must have an absurd appearance.”
“… … How beautiful.”
It’s Valentine Milos.
It was her face.
“According to Merenges, she had black hair that went down to her waist, and two straight eyes that were clear and dark as if they could see through anything. And there was also testimony that someone who looked ‘exactly’ like this woman was seen in the Teslan Kingdom, and here at the Ascendible branch. If we summarize the stories so far, there exists ‘a certain organization’ on the current continent that is unaware of our continental battlefield, and of the Tulcan Empire and other kingdoms.”
Colin paused for a moment, took a breath, and then continued speaking slowly.
“If we look back at the assassination of Mazar Teslan mentioned earlier, Douglas, his escort knight and the commander of the Royal Guard, said this. They were strong men who had reached at least the 9th Circle. In fact, if you listen to other people’s stories, it wasn’t an exaggeration. However, three of them blew themselves up. Looking at it another way, this means that the power was so unknown that they would waste that much power, and beyond that, there was one strong man who could single-handedly deal with Beckerman and Merengues and play with them, and this montage.”
Colin’s expression becomes serious.
Roland Lynch’s expression was the same, and so was everyone around him.
“Merengues said that ‘that man’ received orders from this woman. To be exact, he said, ‘Do as you wish.’ That should be enough. This woman is likely the head of the organization, or someone close to the head, and her powers are likely to be equal to or even greater than that of the man.”
If Valentine, the leader of an unidentified organization, had seen this situation, he would probably have said this.
That’s ridiculous.
If it were Jack, he would have burst out laughing.
“Also, the clue that will lead us to that organization is definitely here in the Teslan Kingdom. This woman has never been found anywhere else except here. That’s all.”
Colin finished his briefing.
The Continental Battleground is a politically neutral merchant group.
Dragon experiment? Not cooperating.
Because it reeked of politics.
He didn’t even step foot on the issue and just maintained neutrality.
There were those who asked him to join the committee, but Roland had a firm grip on the continental battlefield.
All those who entered the committee were killed by Roland.
Why is such a continental battlefield telling such a story?
It’s simple.
flow.
And the entrance.
Various interests and benefits.
A group with a lot of money remains neutral?
This may seem like a lot on the surface, but in reality it’s no different than tightrope walking.

Still, it must be kept.
Because that is the ideology of the Continental Battlefield and Roland’s belief.
Because I have grown to be so big with that belief.
At that moment, Roland, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“There is probably no one here who has not heard the story of Heynckes Becker, who woke up from a coma and was unable to recover from the shock, not eating or drinking for several days.”
It’s true.
Heynckes Beckermann, known as the greatest genius of all time.
He was the undisputed strongest swordsman on the continent, the symbol of the current Tulcan Empire, and the strongest swordsman protecting the crown prince.
He came to his senses a while ago.
But, since then, it’s been 3 whole days, 4 days until today.
The situation is currently ongoing, with me sitting in bed with my eyes open and staring blankly.
Food and drink are also completely banned.
How much of a shock must it have been for it to get to that point?
“I just found out that there was an organization that housed a monster with the power to play with Beckerman? Does anyone know how to interpret this?”
No one answered.
To be exact, I couldn’t do it.
Because I really didn’t know.
Roland speaks in a low voice.
“I guess there aren’t any.”
Everyone bowed their heads.
They had no face.
An organization that has never been revealed before.
If we look at the events that have happened in reality, they definitely exist.
But didn’t the Continental Warlords, the largest merchant union on the continent, know about this fact?
This is not simply a question of information power.
A question that could be the key to distinguishing between incompetence and competence.
People need to eat, poop, and sleep to live, but are they self-sufficient in all of those things? That doesn’t make sense.
Merchants are everywhere in this world, but the Continental Battlefield, which has over 95% of these merchants, only just now found out about this information?
This is something that should be said with ten mouths, and if you have a hundred mouths, you should tear out at least ninety of them.
And so silence settled in the conference room.
at that time.
The conference room door flew open.
Everyone, including Colin, turns their attention.
The person who opened the door.
It’s a familiar face.
Advertisements
As I said before, there are countless branches in the Continental Battlefield.
Among them, the person in charge of the capital, which can be said to be the core of the Teslan nation, is ranked 8th.
However, the person who manages Ascendible is in 6th place.
What this means is that in the current Teslan Kingdom, there are people who deserve more attention than the king or royal family residing in the capital.
That’s Rommel Einhard Assenble.
Roland has seen his influence and knows his abilities.
So, I once dispatched one of the six Masters on the Continental Battlefield to this Ascendant branch.
Although he is not frivolous, he has a rather lively personality, and he is a very trustworthy person, and his abilities are beyond doubt.
His hobby is gambling.
That too is a gamble, and he is such a seasoned man that he has never lost at gambling before.
His name is Harold Lynch.
Roland Lynch’s only son.
He said with a thoughtful face.
“… … Look… … I have something to report to you.”
