Episode 134. West Wind.
The secret treaty between Midgard and Strange was planned in the future with Pendragon, who served as their representative.
“On the day Mayer leaves Midgard, you can give us a signal through that bug.”
Pendragon wrapped his arms around the palm-sized caterpillar that I had given him.
“What is this bug?”
“You can think of it as an insect with abilities similar to a wizard’s telepathy.”
“Telepathy? “Then is it possible to communicate through this bug?”
“No, we just need to know that the story you tell that bug will be relayed to us.”
“Is that what I’m saying?”
“okay.”
Pendragon tilted his head as he looked at the caterpillar.
“First of all, I understand. “Then, I will contact you as soon as I see General Meyer.”
“okay. If possible, it would be good to know where he is heading, so if the situation arises, just ask.”
“From what we understand, General Mayer comes down from Ragnarok once every three days, and since two days have already passed, he will probably appear today or tomorrow.”
Although Pendragon could not know everything that was happening in the Rothschild family, he was still aware of their movements.
This has become a very powerful weapon that allows us to understand the enemy’s movements.
‘I’m still not sure if this guy is really planning a rebellion.’
If true, he is a key figure who can put an end to Rothschild once and for all.
“Achacha! And, moreover, two of the seven Rothschild brothers have made a lot of appearances recently.”
“Two of the seven brothers?”
Did Rothschild have that many brothers? Well, we were seven before Gunther and Hysteria died.
“That’s right. “Archduke Assabrag, who is said to be the closest to God in Rothschild history, and his older sister, Countess Dorothy.”
‘It’s those guys after all.’
“There are only a few people who have never been outside since they were born, but recently, as many as General Mayer have come out of Ragnarok.”
I organized what Pendragon said in my head.
“So Assabrag is the head of Rothschild?”
“no. “The current head of the Rothschild family is Marquis Frigg.”
“Marquis Frigg?”
“That’s right.”
It’s a name I’ve never heard of.
In my past life, when I was sweeping the continent, the Rothschilds had a man named ‘Loki’ as the head of the family.
I’ve never heard of the name Frigg before, and I’m not even familiar with the name Strange in this life.
“He is the one who pushed out our master and became the new head of the family.”
If so, it seems that the history I changed in this life also had an impact on Rothschild.
“Can I hear about Frigg?”
“… “I can’t answer that.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t know about her either. “She has never shown her face in Midgard, and I only heard her name once through General Mayer-”
“Are you saying you’ve never actually seen it?”
“That’s right, General Mayer also said that they’ve only met each other three times. “He is someone we lower class people can never see.”
“Okay, but can’t you do something about that tone? “I know you are a member of the imperial family, given the Rothschild name.”
I tapped his shoulder and continued.
“It feels like I’m talking to an old man.”
“I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable. I was taught to communicate this way since I was young, so this conversation style is natural to me.”
Siegfried, who was watching him closely, nodded slightly.
-As I continue to listen, does something seem strange about this guy? Why does a knight from Midgard speak a northern dialect?
Northern dialect? I don’t know anything about him. Although they once swept across the continent’s strong powers, the northern part was an exception.
‘It’s a northern dialect.’
While I was continuing my thoughts, I heard the sound of a carriage.
Rattling, rattling, rattling!
A shabby-looking carriage arrived in Midgard. This is Rox and the three Western Knights who left Castle Strange with me.
Doo doo doo doo.
God’s knights who were hiding everywhere immediately surrounded the carriage.
The coachman who was driving the carriage was startled, raised his hands above his head, and shouted at the drivers with a tearful expression on his face.
“Well, well, I’m just a coachman!”
At the same time he raised his voice, three knights opened the carriage door and jumped out.
“Come at me!”
With Bichon.
“Aaaah!!”
Chihuahua.
“Give up Baron Gerard!!!”
And collie.
‘Those idiots.’
Before they could even extend their swords, the members of the Knights of God captured the three.
“… Pendragon, they are the ones who came with me, so please spare them.”
* * *
Bichon, Chihuahua, Collie.
Three knights knelt in front of Pendragon and made a request.

“Please return our Baron Gerard.”
“Please do me a favor.”
“please!”
Pendragon looked at me with an embarrassed expression.
“We don’t know about those who were taken to Ragnarok.”
There is no need for me to take action on this; it is an issue that they must resolve on their own.
‘furthermore.’
The moment I met them, a good idea came to mind.
“Pendragon, could you accept them into the Knights of God until they find Baron Gerard?”
I entrusted the three dogs to Pendragon.
If this happens, they will remain here to find Baron Gerard, and I can monitor whether Pendragon really wants a revolution.
“I understand, Lord Verdin.”
Pendragon readily accepted.
The conversation ended here.
I left the three southern knights in Midgard and headed south.
* * *
On the way back to the castle.
I heard from Rox about an incident that happened on the way to Midgard.
“Monsters attacked you?”
“Uh, no, to be precise, not only monsters but also humans.”
“human?”
“Yes, he was wearing very unusual clothes. What did they say about them… . Numbers? Ah, yes, Numbers!”
Numbers.
This is a group of five generals who work under Albus. They are one of the assassins who came to kill me as a child in my past life.
‘Then Albus has started to move in earnest?’
No matter how much the generals were under orders from the Pope, they would not do anything they considered unfair.
‘I guess the majority of people agreed.’
Let’s join hands with Rothschild or Glaser and take down our Strange.
“Was it strong?”
“Oh, I wasn’t weak. A guy that looks like a mole suddenly pops out of the ground! And he jumped out.”
“mole?”
“He jumped into the wagon wheel and tried to break it. Of course, my bugs that were waiting outside ahead of time prevented it.”
Rox lightly stroked the caterpillar on his shoulder.
“Was it a monster?”
“No, I’m human. “It looked like a monster.”
“He’s human but looks like a monster?”
“huh.
“So you killed him?”
“No, I failed. “I tried to kill him, but suddenly another guy appeared and used strange abilities.”
“Strange abilities?”
“Yeah, I’m about to hit that mole guy on the head with my mace. Suddenly a skinny woman appeared from the tree and she turned into a bird and took my hand!”
“bird?”
“huh.”
“What kind of bird was it?”
“that is… . ah? A bird that looks just like that! “That bird told me he was part of a group called Numbers!”
Rox pointed outside the carriage with his index finger. When I looked at the direction he pointed to, I saw a crane in the sky not far from us.
‘Cranes?’
That’s not a bird that lives in this area.
Quang!
The carriage suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a loud noise. I kicked Rox and threw him out of the carriage, then wrapped Auror all over him and hugged Theresia to protect him.
Quagwagwang.
The carriage rolled on the ground and shattered.
The impact was so great that the coachman’s body twisted and he died on the spot.
‘Damn it, were you still chasing Rox?’
‘Boom!’ not far away. The ground fell with a sound.
Then, the sound of something huge digging into the ground was heard.
Pop!
A mole with a human face appeared.
‘No.’
On the contrary, should we say that he is a human wearing a mole’s skin?
“Kyakyakyakyak! “You can kill two birds with one stone, right?”
Rox shouted at him.
“Verdin, it’s him! “That mole I told you about is him!”
Are those guys Numbers?
The mole glanced at Rox and shrugged his shoulders.
“Whew, that’s a good thing, I was so surprised that I missed you by mistake!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crane in the sky quickly fell and flew towards Rox.
Buuuuung-
The descent was so fast that before Rox could react, the crane’s foot hit his chin.
grasp!
“Oops!”
Rox rolled on the ground.
The crane that had successfully attacked flew from its spot and turned its head in my direction.
‘Is that guy also a human dressed as an animal?’
No, in that case there is no way it has the ability to fly in the sky.
Then there was only one answer.
It means that those guys called Numbers have animal-type Bae Hu-ryeong, one of the few on the continent.
‘Then are those guys also from the west?’
Because only those guys know how to use the animal-type Bae Hu-ryeong.
Sigh-
I drew my sword and asked Numbers.
“Did Albus tell you to do this?”
The crane and the mole looked at me in surprise. Judging by the fact that he couldn’t say anything, it was a sufficient answer.
“I heard you called yourself Numbers to my friend?”
The crane answered with a bitter sound, ‘Sseu-eup’.
“So, I guess you are Strange’s new matriarch, Verdin.”
“I don’t know what you were thinking when you revealed your identity. Because of what you did today, Albus will die by my hand.”
“… … .”
“I will never forgive those who point a sword at me.”
The mole slowly walked towards me and joined the conversation.
Thump, thump, thump.
“Hey, you’re going to end up here anyway, so what are you forgiving me?”
“They say if you’re brave, you’re stupid. “Do you really think you two can beat me?”
“… No, of course we can’t win together.”
“I know very well. So does that mean other guys are also joining us?”
The mole shrugged his eyebrows.
“Hey, everyone come out!”
At the same time he raised his voice, monsters hiding in the forest appeared.
The appearance was so foreign that it seemed as if it had been mixed with an animal, so I immediately recognized its identity and looked around.
“An interesting guy came with you.”
“what?”
“I missed you, but I never thought we would meet like this.”
I slowly looked around and fired an aura toward the forest.
Ssssssssssssssssshhhh!
My blade-like aura spread and wrapped around the surroundings at a speed so fast that no one could escape.
‘Checkmate.’
I finally found it.
A human with mana was detected less than a hundred meters away.
I said, turning my head towards that place.
“If you want to talk to me, come directly to me.”
A member of my party from a past life.
The only one who can open the way to the 50th floor of the tower.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“… “Nice to meet you, Lord Verdin.”
Philip finally appeared.
“My name is Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel. “Just call me Philip.”
