Premonition (1)
“No, I need more detailed information! What the hell do you want me to do with just a map? You’ve been following my orders so well, so I guess you thought I was easygoing, but when will you make this clear…”
dripping-
Andrew Weaver, a blond man who had been complaining nonstop, suddenly shut his mouth at the sound of a knock.
“Ahem, come in.”
The door opens quietly with his permission.
A maid came in without a sound and began setting out tea and snacks on the table.
And before she left the house after finishing her work, Andrew spoke to her casually.
“By any chance, is Miss Siana at the mansion right now?”
“No. The young lady hasn’t come back yet.”
“Oh, I see. It’s nothing. Let’s go now.”
“yes.”
After politely greeting the maid and leaving, he put some snacks in his mouth and sank deep into his chair.
Once the irritation had subsided, I could only sigh at the thought that there was nothing I could do.
‘Tsk, I guess I’ll give it a try anyway.’
If your superior is going to scold you, then you have to scold him. What can you do?
The order given to him was “Trajectory Observation”, to investigate the powerful clash of magical powers that occurred in the northwestern mountain range some time ago.
‘My ability isn’t something that’s convenient enough to let me look wherever I want!’
Since it was an area with no people and no detailed information, all he was given was a location marked on a map.
Although there was some reference material on natural vegetation, climate, and monster habitats, such comprehensive information was not particularly helpful in identifying the location.
The best way was to see the object or place with your own eyes, and the next best thing was to learn as much detailed information as possible, even in writing.
‘I don’t even expect photos, so at least give me a sketch of the scene and let me do the work.’
Moreover, if the person who did this was presumed to be the Immortal King, then he was of little use as he could not see him due to the difference in rank.
‘Of course, you took that into account when you asked me to do the job.’
At least I had to show that I was trying my best.
It was thanks to this ability that he was able to grow up comfortably and receive this kind of treatment.
Andrew sank deep into his armchair and activated his unique skill, “Trajectory Observation.”
Since I couldn’t check the scene of the incident right away, I was trying to look through the entrance where there was a lot of data and then slowly go inside.
‘Huh? There are guys going into the mountains amidst this chaos?’
Around the same time, we found Harley and his party heading north after receiving a request.
But the moment I moved my ‘eyes’ following them, as I started to go deeper, it soon became as if it was enveloped in fog.
‘···I knew this would happen. There are limits to observation without information.’
If the level had been higher, it might have been different, but for now, this was the limit of his abilities.
Although we tried several times after that, we failed to identify the scene of the magical clash as expected.
‘Hey, I wasted my time. You’re not yelling at me for nothing… huh?’
Just as Andrew was about to end his “trajectory observation”.
In his sight, he captured the sight of those who had entered the mountain range returning.
Up until that point, there was nothing strange, but…
‘What is it? Why is it so blurry?’
Unlike when they left, their return was not clearly observed.
It wasn’t as bad as the Immortal King, who couldn’t be seen at all, but it was worse than the True Blood Vampire, who could be seen indirectly.
No matter who I focused my gaze on in the group, the mere presence of that ‘someone’ created noise and made it difficult to see properly.
‘Something has changed. I need to find out more.’
And Andrew, who started to investigate them, was able to find out that they had been commissioned by the lord to rescue the dwarves who were isolated in the mountains.
‘Is there something with that dwarf? Or was it just a fake request and he had other hidden intentions?’
In any case, it was clear that something was wrong.
Although he failed to find the information he had originally intended to obtain, he was elated and stood up from his seat after discovering something suspicious.
Anyway, I’ve made some money, so now I have something to say.
“Good! That’s enough for today. We can continue the rest next time.”
Now that he had nothing to be afraid of, he left the mansion with a confident stride, got into the prepared carriage, and headed to the entertainment district.
Playing around in the mansion was nice, but how can a person only live inside a house?
‘If you do your work properly, no one will touch you. There is no better workplace than this.’
In addition, with ample financial support, job satisfaction was at its highest.
It would be better if they didn’t ask me to do something unreasonable like this.
So Andrew Weaver was riding in his carriage with ease.
Swish—
There was something following him silently, without any noise.
That formless something, without any obsession or desire, with only a vague sense of self.
I just stood there quietly, watching him.

“···That’s fast.”
Heinz, who came to Heterosis’s office, stuck out his tongue and scrolled down on his mouse wheel.
Although it was only a first-hand look at the basics, it was organized quite neatly for something that was prepared in less than a day.
“It was a special mission from the Lord who came down after a long time. We even pestered the Blood Alliance and put all our clan’s efforts into it!”
Jin So-ran shrugged her shoulders and smiled proudly at his admiration.
Since he had taken a break from his personal broadcasting, which he had been doing as a hobby, to do this, his surprised look was satisfying.
Heinz read the contents lightly.

From the theoretical part starting with the properties of metals to the practical part starting with how to hold a hammer.
The material, which included photos and videos, was the best introductory blacksmithing book that would help you grow quickly if you studied it properly.
‘Of course, it won’t be easy to understand and accept that for sure.’
Although it is basic and organized in an easy-to-understand manner, there is no way that an ordinary person can easily follow this specialized knowledge.
What more so if you have to study on your own, only with theory, without a teacher?
It will take a considerable amount of time just to fully master this part…
Dwarf Howard was no ordinary civilian.
What had seemed like mere listings of information when Heinz read them was instantly analyzed in Howard’s mind.
The properties of various metals, how to control the temperature of fire, the characteristics of the materials added, and the principles of each process, etc.
The theory became ingrained in my instincts, and I was able to intuitively imitate the movements in the video.
‘I want to try it out myself soon.’
Howard’s hands trembled as he gained new knowledge.
No matter how great he was, simply knowing something had its limits, so he needed to put what he understood into practice and fully acquire it.
‘Since I’ve already used the transmission line today, I’ll just have Hubert prepare the attack and defense until the cooldown ends.’
For Hubert, who was now leading a fairly large company in Tarak, preparing a workshop exclusively for Howard was nothing.
As Heinz was gathering his thoughts.
“Oh, by the way, there was one more thing I had to report to you, Lord!”
Jin So-ran, who had been smiling brightly in front of him, remembered something and changed her expression to serious.
“We have been continuously tracking the organization you mentioned before, the Bancheonhoe… We have identified circumstances in which several forces have made contact with them.”
It feels like a lot of time has passed because of the time difference with this world, but it’s only been a little over a month since they stopped their activities in Korea.
However, it has been detected that he has not yet come to his senses and is slowly trying to check the liver.
“It’s just light contact, so we don’t have any plans to make any major moves right now, so we’re just monitoring the situation and observing the situation.”
“Hmm… Okay, good job. In the future, don’t step forward yourself, and just focus on understanding the situation.”
“all right!”
Buncheonhoe.
Of course, there was no way I could have forgotten them.
Isn’t the whole reason you’ve been building up your power and building up your influence just to wipe out those bastards?
‘Actually, I think Hans alone would be enough to take down any number of guys.’
The power of the Bancheonhoe had already surpassed the level of being able to be dealt with by individual force, and it was so thoroughly hidden that it was difficult to find them.
Also, because of the nature of his energy, there was a risk that Hans would make enemies by acting rashly…
‘There’s no need to rush into this. Let’s do it for sure, for sure. After we learn more about these guys, we’ll completely kill them.’
The advantage in time was on our side.
During the approximately 10 months that he was building up his strength…
Because it had only been a month on Earth.

“Yes? Could you say that again?”
Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Thalia.
A scuffle was in full swing at the main gate of the Bright Duke family, who could be said to be the most noble family in the kingdom.
The cause was a black-haired woman who suddenly showed up and tried to boldly go inside, but was stopped by a security guard.
“I came to find Mulro.”
“This is the Duke of Bright’s mansion. Are you sure you’ve come to the wrong place…?”
The guard guarding the main gate of the mansion spoke to her cautiously and flustered.
If it had been normal, I would have mercilessly chased her away with harsh words, but I unconsciously became intimidated by the inexplicable atmosphere I felt around her.
“···Did you make a promise?”
“Um… No? I just came.”
The guard responded with sweat pouring down his face, trying to somehow break the situation, but the woman standing in front of him just tilted her head in bewilderment.
“This is difficult—. I’m sorry for making a fuss for no reason.”
While mumbling to myself in an incomprehensible manner.
“···First, I will convey the message inside. Who should I tell?”
“Me? If I say ‘Bricky’, you’ll know.”
In the end, he decided to leave the judgment to the inside.
If he was really someone insignificant, he would have been scolded by the butler and his evaluation would have been lowered, but if he was someone great and he was treated badly, it could have been a problem where he could have his balls physically blown off.
And that was a brilliant decision.
As her words reached inside, one of the butlers came out to the door and checked on the other person.
“Hmm, this kid is the same. I wonder what happened.”
Those were the first words she blurted out as she encountered the pale-complexioned butler coming out of the mansion.
“I’ll take you inside first. Please come this way.”
The butler politely guides her inside.
Of course, the place they headed to was a place full of all kinds of barriers and security devices, not open to the general public.
As he walked down the hallway, ‘Bricky’ quietly looked at the pure-blooded vampire who was guiding him.
I could feel the mutated blood on him that I had encountered several times on my way here.
‘It’s strange. It’s not that the fundamentals have changed, but there are too many changes that I can’t understand.’
I already caught a piece of blood along the way, smelled it, tasted it, and checked it in various ways, but…
I couldn’t figure out what caused the change.
‘It seemed like that person didn’t know the details either.’
An ‘evolution’ that is far more advanced than the original in many ways, due to factors that even he himself cannot understand.
That’s why she came here in person.
Lord, you would know better about this cause.
dripping-
“Mr. Mulo, I brought you here.”
In the depths of the mansion where they arrived, they were finally able to face each other.
With the former Lord of the Clan, Mullor Brokoslak.
“It’s been a while, Mulro.”
“Welcome, Brokoslak.”
The founder of the clan, the Holy Blood ‘Brokoslak’.
She finally came here in person.
