Episode 254: Five Stars (2)

<★★★★★>

The five-star quest ended in vain.

‘I thought it would be easy, but I never thought it would be this easy… … .’

The moment Vikir was about to turn around in a broken heart, Hugo called and stopped him.

“really. son Since you came home after a long time, do a ‘promotion’ and go.”

One of Vikir’s eyebrows moved at the words Hugo said as he comforted the Pomerian.

Advancement (進級). In other words, the position within the family rises.

“From now on, I will appoint you as ‘Senator’.”

It was Hugo who said big things casually.

“… … .”

Bikir was silent for a moment.

What is a Senator?

Below the Senate and above the House of Representatives, the center of power that can lead countless hounds.

Unlike members of the House of Representatives, who mainly take care of family matters, senators take care of matters outside of the family, and are given great power as befits those who carry out important tasks.

In fact, the consolation of the senator is only Gaju and Sogaju.

Of course, in reality, the seven counts and the senate have to be hit, so the seat of power or the seven counts, which are ranked fifth in the hierarchy of the Baskervilles, are also the same senatorial rank, and considering that the senate is an honorary position for those who have retired from active duty, the senators This could be said to be the most influential person in the family.

“Perhaps you are the youngest senator if you look back at your family history for nearly a hundred years.”

“thank you. I will do my best.”

At Hugo’s words, Vikir quietly nodded.

Even if he became a little stupid after the appearance of the Pomeranian, Hugo was still a thorough person.

He promoted Bikir to the senator and at the same time thought about his future mission.

“Even if you become a senator, you can roam freely like now for a while. My position is still ‘Ecliptic Correspondent’.”

Currently, Bikir was not known as an ‘academy entrant’ in the Baskervilles, but as a ‘special agent’.

Unlike Hivero, Middlebro, and Lowbro who really went to the ecliptic to study, Vikir is in charge of hunting down and secretly assassinating forces hostile to the Baskerville family in the ecliptic.

The status of ‘colosseo academy student’ is just one of the agent’s disguised identities.

Hugo continued talking.

“I will extend the duration of the mission as much as you wish. However, if you think your work is over, return to your family and take over your duties. The post of consul of the city of Underdog is still vacant.”

“yes.”

As a result, at the age of 18, Bikir officially became a powerful member of the powerful, a senator.

Senators, as centers of power, enjoy tremendous rights.

First of all, eight aides could be appointed at their discretion without reporting.

If you become an aide, you will be officially recognized as a member of the Baskerville family, and you will be able to use the Baskerville surname.

Aides can be taught up to 4 meals of Baskerville style swordsmanship, and all conveniences related to clothing, food, and shelter are provided.

You can enjoy various privileges such as a generous salary, vehicle support, all transportation expenses, tax exemption, recruitment of knights, and even have the right to view military secrets of the second-class or higher imperial family or to conscript civilians in wartime.

You can independently command conscripted or drafted soldiers, which means you can even form your own armed group.

Now that Vikir has become a senator, she can form her own task force.

Of course, there are a few people who have already been chosen as members.

‘Sindi Wendy, Chihuahua, Minpin… … I guess I’ll have to embrace them first.’

If Xindi Wendy, who is smart about economics, Chihuahua, who is a master of administration, and Minpin, who is a master of topography and monster ecology and supports a certain amount of force, join the team, it will be of great help in the future.

‘And there are many useful talents among the natives of the sea.’

The first thing that came to mind was Iyan’s face.

Her archery skills allow her to shoot and kill mosquitoes from hundreds of feet away.

In addition to that, there are many warriors and shamans who are excellent enough to surprise the empire in the sea.

Vikir closed his eyes and imagined things in the fairly distant future.

‘First of all, Sindi Wendy, she will need her help soon.’

In the meantime, Vikir, who had been reluctant to accept Sindi Wendy’s help even when money was urgent, but it seemed that the moment would soon come when she needed Sindi Wendy’s financial power.

It was the intuition of a seasoned hunter.

At that time, Hugo broke Bikir’s thoughts.

“okay. Have you had any success in the ecliptic?”

Vikir gave Hugo the answer he was expecting.

“It is as reported. The eunuchs who falsely reported to the emperor that the Baskervilles were plotting a rebellion, the maternal family who tried to cut off the Baskervilles’ finances through embezzlement and tax evasion, and the intelligence guild’s key figures who tried to steal the Baskervilles’ military secrets were assassinated on a quarterly basis. , totaling 174 eliminations over the third quarter. All of them were treated as old age, accidental death, assassination by other hostile forces, disappearance, etc. Of course, nothing was caught.”

Of course, those 174 people were all conspirators with demons.

It was a vikir who did not lay a finger on those who did not collude with demons and were simply hostile to the Baskervilles.

But even this alone is a huge achievement.

Hugo smiled and nodded. Then he added a strange word at the end.

“Not like that.”

“?”

“Aren’t you going to the academy?”

Hugo’s coy gaze lingers on Bikir.

“Are there any wives you meet at school?”

“??”

“When I see the sons of other families, they say they go to the academy and fall in love. Why is it called CC?”

“???”

Bikir involuntarily frowned slightly.

But Hugo just chuckles.

“Osiris seems to have a woman he meets, but he didn’t step on his tail. Even if I ask, there is no answer. I don’t know when to show my grandchildren.”

“… … .”

“You too will get excited. Getting married early is the answer.”

Vikir felt Oss goosebumps running down his throat as he was so unfamiliar with Hugo’s appearance.

Even if it was different from the memory of the previous life, it was so different that I even felt a sense of difference.

So Bikir hurriedly changed the subject.

“… … really. What happened to what you asked for?”

“Uhm. It’s the laundry of the past.”

Hugo stroked his beautifully braided beard.

Bikir had asked Hugo to erase the past before leaving for the academy.

For example, there are traces of Bikir’s existence as a hound of the Baskerville family, such as a statue erected in the Castle of Red Cane.

“Even so, rumors of your survival were thoroughly controlled. Looking at public opinion, it turns out that ‘the survival and return of Vikir van Baskerville’ is being treated as a rumor created by the Baskerville family to bluff.”

Vikir nodded at Hugo’s words.

Among the hounds of the Baskervilles, there are many figures who come to mind and then disappear in an instant.

So many are born and so many die.

Of course, after Vikir appeared and Hugo’s personality changed, such a drastic change did not happen anymore, but anyway, Vikir was briefly mentioned as a rumor at the moment of that brief change.

The citations received from the imperial family were also handed out hundreds or thousands of copies a year, and originally awards were only remembered by the recipient and others quickly forgotten.

Although the residents of Underdog City still missed and commemorated Bikir, they didn’t care much.

“… … In any case, my past has been completely erased.”

“Yes. Even now, special operations agents are using their strength, so you don’t have to worry anymore that your identity will be revealed because of rumors. Well, some of the talkative talkers have already been eliminated.”

Hugo left it to Vikir’s discretion to decide whether and when the identity of the Baskervilles should be kept hidden.

The promotion ceremony for the senators seemed to be concluded secretly and simply like this.

“Samchun!”

… … Even if it weren’t for the Pomeranian who suddenly burst into the conversation.

“I’ll go with this Sipper!”

Vikir looked down at the Pomerian’s hand, wanting something.

The Pomeranian was holding a small book.

<100 myths loved by children>

Pomerian opened the book and opened a chapter.

<Return of the Hound of the Madou Head Family>

It was a piece of an old myth that no one believes in anymore and has disappeared into the dark side of history.

A book about the life of one of the distant ancestors of the Morgue family, ‘Morg Tzersi’.

Pomerian showed Bikir one of the illustrations in that section.

There was a dark, withered tree painted on it.

‘Wraith Tree’, a legendary artifact that black magicians dream of.

It was about a strange tree planted by Tzersi, a servant of magic.

“Gakko Sipper!”

The Pomeranian looks up at Bikir and his eyes light up.

Feeling uneasy, Vikir turned his head and saw Hugo, whose eyes were shining.

“I don’t know what it is, but bring it, son.”

“… … .”

“I’d like to go myself, but I can’t leave because of a war of nerves with Morgue.”

Currently, the House of Morgue is busy with the change of leadership of the dark party.

It was also a good opportunity for the Baskervilles to take advantage of this chaos and expand their forces.

Hugo threw something at Bikir.

… Took!

It was the ‘dark red whistle’, a terrifying object capable of operating all of Baskerville’s military powers.

Whether Bikir was taken aback by the completely unexpected situation, Hugo was serious.

“If necessary, I will give you all of the Knights. Go get the Pomeranian what he wants. Ah, that should replace the scroll quest.”

Bikir sighed lightly.

Does Hugo know what this is now and ask him to bring it?

‘The Wraith Tree is an artifact that exists.’

And even Vikir knew where it was located because of his memories before returning.

‘Unexpectedly, it’s a place close to the Baskervilles’ territory, so it’s a place I’ve been meaning to visit at least once anyway. because… … .’

The 7 Baskerville meals Bikir is learning.

It was because there was a hint of the next stage.

So, it was a place I tried to visit once while visiting my parents’ house.

‘The stage after the sword master. And the place where the clue to the Baskerville 8 is sleeping.’

While I was going to investigate the place anyway, the military power of the Baskervilles was handed over, so it was a spare business.

The quest of the scroll has already been solved, and now the only thing left to do is to meet Dekaravia in City 7, and it’s better if you get a hint about Type 8 before that.

After all, the Pomeranian is a fortune.

“Then we will leave immediately.”

Bikir stroked the Pomerian’s head once and turned away.

Quick battle.

With the intention of finishing everything in three days and returning to the academy.
