Just yesterday, didn’t they upset the Emperor of the Holy Vashtalon Empire, the strongest nation on the continent, and send three Auror users to the Nether?
If you think that you won’t get anything you want after doing this, you’re a fool among fools.
But Gerard shook his head.
“No, not like that. So, do you owe something to some weird guys?”
“yes?”
Then Gerard explained slowly.
After sending Reppenhardt down, Gerard first returned to the main residence in the capital of Vasily’s Kingdom and rested for about half a year. And as he had declared, he traveled around the continent looking for another successor. Unlike when I was wandering around looking for Reppenhardt, that is, young Tethron, this time I felt relaxed, so it was almost like just going on a cruise.
I was walking around like that… … .
“For some time now, strange guys have been attacking me. “Although his skills are not even remotely good, the artifacts are all top-notch and I’ve never seen them before.”
Gerard, who was famous as a dungeon explorer in his youth, also had a keen eye for artifacts. The weapons of those ‘strange guys’ he saw were at a level that could never exist in this world.
“I thought it was really amazing. So, when I asked why they were fighting, they told me to blame them for having the wrong disciple? And then he immediately tried to kill me.”
“So what happened?”
“What happens? “I was bored.”
Gerard responded as if he was hearing all kinds of strange questions. No, he’s here because he lost. Would he be here if they had succeeded?
Of course, Leffenhardt didn’t ask because he didn’t know that. It’s just that he has experienced similar stories in his past life and in his current life.
“No, I was just wondering if there was anything else to talk about. Where did it come from… … .”
“no? I was curious too, so I thought about catching him and asking him, but the moment I caught him, he bit his tongue and died. “Ah, it seems like they don’t even know that their lives are a waste of money.”
Reppenhardt urgently asked Gerrard, who clicked his tongue.
“Well, then what about the artifact?”
“huh? “They just melted?”
Reppenhardt asked back in bewilderment,
“Eh? Is it melting? “It’s not like ice candy under the hot summer sun, so why does it melt?”
“Oh, I said it melted because it melted! It melts on its own, so what should I do? Do you really think I will swallow that and stick out my flippers in front of my student?”
Gerrard got angry and threw a honey balm at Reppenhardt.
Boom!
The action was honey chestnut, but then the binge drinking broke out. It was Gerard Dane’s love for his student, but Reppenhardt, who was hit by it, fell about 10 centimeters to the ground at that moment.
Of course, Jim Unbreakable’s body sinking 10 centimeters to the ground is just accepted as a ‘honey night of love’. Reppenhardt thought for a moment as he calmly lifted his hips and sat down.
‘Well, that might be possible if it has a built-in self-destruction technique.’
In my past life, when I killed an assassin and took the artifact, I was able to take it without a problem because all magic was stopped thanks to the AMP Shockwave. However, under normal circumstances, it would not be such an awkward story for assassins to prepare a self-destruct code in preparation for their own death to prevent the artifact from falling into the hands of the enemy.
‘what? Then why haven’t Jade’s Blink boots melted?’
Another question lingers in my head. Gerrard waved his hand as he looked at Reppenhardt lost in thought.
“Well, the artifacts all melted, so I was curious and searched for clothes, but this is all I found. “Is this a sign you recognize?”
A silver object fell out of Gerard’s hand. Reppenhardt’s eyes lit up.
‘uh? ‘What about that?’
Gerard clicked his tongue as he showed the silver emblem to his student.
“Anyway, there are a lot of people who keep trying to sell you, so I came here just because I was curious. I don’t know what’s going on, but if you owe me anything, pay it back quickly, disciple. “Should we, Mumun, carry around petty debt?”
“Oh, it’s absolutely nothing like that, but… … .”
“Well, looking at you, it seems like you don’t know either.”
Gerard shook his shoulders with a carefree look on his face.
“It’s nothing special. I only stopped by because I was nearby out of curiosity, but it was still a good trip! I even had a cool fight with that Banatel guy. Ah-oh! “It would have been much cooler if it had been steamed!”
“Ah, yes, hahaha… … .”
Reppenhardt smiled awkwardly as he put the silver emblem into the package. I could no longer hear Master’s words. His entire consciousness was focused on these silver emblems.
☆ ☆ ☆
Gairak’s corridor in the White King’s Palace.
Recalling that time, Reppenhardt looked down at the package in his hand. The emblems filled with silver were shining brightly.
He took out another emblem from his pocket. I got it from Jade.
When I compared the two, they were exactly the same.
This can never be said to be a coincidence.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
As I was looking down at the emblem with a serious face, I heard a voice from behind me.
“what? Brother, where did you get that from?”
Russ came to my side with a haggard look on his face. It seemed like he had finally come to his senses after suffering from Silan’s healing techniques all this time.
Reppenhardt asked, holding up the emblem.
“why? “Is this something you know?”
“No, I don’t know… … .”
Russ shook his head and let out an uncertain voice.
“I think I saw it once in my father’s office… … I’m not sure. I saw it when I was young… … .”
Leffenhardt’s eyes lit up.
“Have you ever heard of this?”
“Well, my father didn’t tell me in detail either. It is said that it is only conveyed to the head of the family… … He just said that if the heir of the Tenes family and the owner of this emblem appear, he must faithfully follow his orders.”
“A family as big as the Counts of Tenes must faithfully follow orders? So is it from the grime royal family? No, but the sentences are different?”
“I asked my father about that too, and he said it is related to the grime royal family, but not the royal family. I can’t tell you any more because it’s a family secret… … .”
Leffenhardt nodded.
The heir to the Count Tenes family is clearly Eusus, but Count Folt, the current head of the Tennes family, is very fond of Cyrus. That’s probably why he taught me to that extent even though he wasn’t the successor.
Anyway, good information. Even this piece of information is much better than no information at all.
‘Following the Arclight family of Vastalon, it is also related to the Tenness family of Grime, right? I have more information to give to Carol.’
Leffenhardt grinned.
“Thank you, Russ. “Thank you, it was a great help.”

“yes? No, what is it?”
“It was a big help because I didn’t know what this was.”
We were having a conversation like that.
Through the corridor, a towering man with a black beard covering his face walked in elegant formal attire. She was Carol, the Prime Minister of the County of Antares, a man who surprisingly looked good in clothes that did not suit her.
“I heard you were looking for me, King White.”
Carol bowed lightly with her hand on her chest.
“Ah, I called you because I had a favor to ask you… … .”
Without speaking, Reppenhardt looked at Carol and clicked his tongue.
Although his face was currently covered in beard, he still looked gaunt. Both cheeks were sunken and dark circles were engraved under his eyes.
It was all an aftereffect of Banatel and Gerard’s rampage.
What the Kingdom of Antares lost due to that monster battle was not just a castle. In fact, Baekwangseong was a castle that had to be demolished anyway, so it wasn’t such a waste.
The problem was the various administrative documents filled with it.
Originally, what was most necessary to govern a country was not gold and silver treasures. Rather, the administrative documents that recorded the products and censuses of each region are a greater treasure. Therefore, a proper general would first subdue the administrative file room rather than the treasure trove when occupying another country’s territory.
Karl was well aware of this, so he kept the administrative documents in a basement surrounded by a thick rock wall. Even if the entire Baekwangseong falls, just close the entrance so that no one will notice.
However, even Carol of the world could not have imagined that the White King Castle would be completely wiped out without leaving a single foundation stone behind. Well, if you have common sense, it’s normal to not be able to imagine it.
The administrators who ran away by training their subordinates well were able to retrieve a significant number of documents, but even so, the missing parts were very extensive. Thanks to this, the White House administration, including Carol, had not been able to sleep properly for several days and was busy supplementing the missing documents. Tila also assists Carol and spends the night with her, so it has already been a week since the couple lived happily together with dark circles.
“… … Are you still very busy?”
When I saw Carol looking tired, I couldn’t help but speak up. It was a car that Reppenhardt had been thinking about whether he should just order it later.
“it’s okay. Is there a problem?”
Carol waved her hand and asked about business. After hesitating, Reppenhardt quietly opened his mouth.
Carol, who had been calmly listening to the story about Jade and the artifact that Tethron and the others suddenly brought in, suddenly brightened her eyes.
“Hmm?”
It was from the words ‘Silver Sage’ that Christine said.
“I don’t know about this silver emblem, but… … “I have heard of the Silver Sage.”
“huh? is it?”
Karl spoke while looking at the surprised Reppenhardt and Russ in turn.
“I am talking about the accident of the former King of Crovence, Gothrin I, and Prince Tellion.”
The sudden death of Gothrin I and Prince Tellion, which became the starting point of the Crovence Civil War.
There were many aspects of their deaths that were not natural.
It was strange that the king of a country and the heir to the throne died of an unknown disease within 15 days of each other. Even if Gothrin I, who was over 60 at the time, died of old age, it was strange to anyone that Prince Telion, a lively young man in his 20s, died with similar symptoms less than 15 days later.
“So in the beginning, there was a strong theory that he was assassinated by those who opposed His Majesty Gotlin’s policies.”
According to Charles, the former king of Crovence, Gothrin I, was preparing a new policy toward dwarves.
From a young age, he had been interested in the architecture and technological prowess of the dwarves, and so he began to see the benefits of officially accepting them as members of the nation.
No matter what anyone says, there is a big difference in work efficiency between slaves who only move passively and free people who actively work. Incorporating the dwarves in Crovence as formal citizens can be expected to lead to great advancements in technical and architectural aspects, and can also significantly weaken the power of local nobles, which will naturally be a great help in strengthening the royal authority.
It was not for nothing that Prince Yubel had the dwarf woman Finia as his nanny when he was young. Although not all races, at least Gothrin I saw dwarves with different eyes. Prince Telion also had the same view.
“That policy threatens the vested rights of the nobles and also goes against the teachings of the Sayre Church. So, after the mysterious accident, an investigation was conducted into him for a considerable period of time. However, no matter how much we investigated, there were no traces that he had been assassinated, so the royal family ultimately ruled that he died of natural causes.”
Reppenhardt nodded at Carol’s explanation. Then he smiled and asked Carol.
“I guess you didn’t believe that?”
Carol also smiled and responded.
“There is a degree of coincidence. “How can it be natural for a country’s king and heir to the throne to die every 15 days?”
After the civil war broke out, Charles became a candidate for succession to the throne as Prince Carzas. However, no matter how close he was to the throne thanks to this, he was not the type of person who could ignore doubtful aspects of his personality. He spent his own money and people to conduct a considerable investigation.
“But no matter how much I dug, nothing came out. However, there were rumors that there was an organization called Silver Sage that led the assassination. But that was all it was and I couldn’t find anything even after further investigation, so in the end I had no choice but to ignore it. “The civil war gradually became more intense and there was no time to hire anyone.”
After finishing her explanation, Carol carefully caressed the silver emblem. His eyes began to shine intensely.
“But if something like this exists, we might need to look into it one more time.”
With the expression of a ‘scheme’, Carol retrieved the emblems. Carol with that expression is truly a trustworthy being.
Leffenhardt patted him on the shoulder, satisfied.
“Then please do me a favor, Chancellor Carol.”
Carol bent her knees and placed her hand on her chest. It was an example of formally receiving orders from the lord.
“I will follow your orders, White King.”
At that moment, Gerard came inside, stroking his neck, and saw the scene. He looked at Leffenhardt and burst out in admiration.
“Oh oh! “Disciple!”
“Have you fully recovered, Master?”
Even as he greeted Gerrard, Reppenhardt looked puzzled for a moment. No, why are you suddenly making an exclamation?
Gerrard looked Leppenhardt up and down and grinned.
“You really look like a king.”
“That’s right, King… but…” … Why do you look at it that way?”
“Because it’s fascinating. “It’s something we will live to see in this world for a long time.”
