Episode 156. Breakwater.
Clark Harald, called the Pirate King of the West.
and his brother, Alfred Harald, the Blue Tooth of the North.
I had no idea these two were brothers.
Not only that, but with Alfredo’s skills, you reached great heights? Although I was ignorant of generals in my past life, I cannot remember the name Alfredo.
‘No.’
It’s not that you don’t remember, it’s that you may not have heard it at all.
The five generals at the time didn’t even think about attacking me, so he was a person of no interest to me who was focused on the tower.
“Aren’t the Blue Teeth of the North descendants of the giants who were the owners of this continent in the beginning?”
“you’re right.”
“If that’s the case, then they would have superior strength and knowledge than humans.”
“Well, according to rumors, that’s true. Sir Verdin has also visited Lord Alfredo, so he knows… .”
Albus shook his head.
I was able to understand what he meant even without conversation.
“I understand what you mean. “But I don’t feel very good.”
“How do you feel that way?”
“Think about it if you were in my situation. “I started climbing the tower with him and have been under constant surveillance ever since. Who would enjoy experiencing something like this?”
“Let me apologize for that. “I didn’t plan that on purpose.”
“then?”
Albus put the snake wrapped around his hand down on the table and continued.
“We were just chasing Miss Cynthia under orders from the Holy See. “Somehow things came to this point.”
“Under orders from the Pope?”
“Yes, I am sure you know what I am doing now. “Phillip must have reported it to you.”
I looked at him with interest.
“Philip reported to me?”
“Yes, I daresay. He must have joined hands with Lord Verdin. “He is a guy who will do anything to achieve his goal, and the strongest person on the continent right now is Strange.”
“That’s an interesting story.”
“Probably certain. “If I’m a snake, then he’s a fox.”
He called himself a snake.
I saw Albus’ answer as neither positive nor negative.
“Assuming everything you say is correct. And if I say I know all the facts. “Should I forgive you for what you did now?”
Albus closed his eyes tightly and opened them.
“No, you can punish me if you want. “Like Philip, I will do anything to achieve my goal.”
“okay? “Then do you mind if I take your arm?”
“… yes.”
He responded with gentle eyes even to the talk of mutilating his body.
As if I were certain that I would not do such a thing.
“What a funny guy.”
“It’s funny, so I think you liked it.”
“done. Anyway, what I can know now from my conversation with you is this. You were chasing Cynthia by order of the Archbishop, and I came into the net. Afterwards, Alfredo, one of the generals, came to watch over me. “Is this what you mean?”
Albus shook his head loudly.
“Of course.”
When I thought about it, Alfredo, that guy had never been to my party in his previous life, and his face was so unfamiliar that I thought I never even met him.
‘I should have been a little more suspicious.’
If you look at the results alone, it’s not that bad.
Still, I felt slightly annoyed at the fact that I had been deceived.
“First of all, I knew what he was talking about. “I will help you as my Baphomet asked.”
“Are you okay? I am Rothschild and Glaser. “There is a record of joining hands with two families.”
“Is there any reason not to be okay? After all, there are no permanent enemies on the battlefield, right? “Today’s enemy may be tomorrow’s same side.”
It was a fleeting moment, but the corner of Albus’ mouth twitched.
“I’m just grateful that you think so.”
“Thank you, I also benefit from it, so I move like that.”
I lightly brushed the snake’s head on the table and continued.
“Anyway, two generals are dead. Who is the culprit?”
“There are three.”
“three?”
“Yes, including Alfredo.”
“Alfredo? “That guy is still alive.”
Albus blinked with a bewildered expression.
“Sir Alfredo is alive?”
“Yes, I will be staying on the 10th floor of the tower right now. “I have ordered you to stay with Gregory, the apostle there.”
“ah… . No, then why is there no answer? “I’m sure we were in touch until we stayed at Castle Strange-”
I could see why.
Perhaps Rox’s larva was watching him before he left the castle, and since he was under Gregory’s watch after he entered the tower, he couldn’t move carelessly.
“I don’t know that either. You’ll hear that later, I’m sure he’s alive. “I can talk to him right now.”
“Is that so?”
I answered by showing a larva of a lox.
“Okay, if you want, I’ll let you talk now.”

“… no. “If you’re still alive, we’ll meet again, so I’ll report on your progress then.”
“Either do that. Anyway, answer my question, who are the people who killed the two generals mentioned above? “I understand that neither Clark nor Wendy are of average skill.”
“We haven’t found out yet. A body was recovered from the Spine Mountains near the Kairis Marsh… .”
Albus snapped his fingers towards the other side of the tavern.
Perfect!
At the same time, a man with short hair and a white cape who looked like Numbers, dressed in the same clothes as Albus, approached and placed the diamond badge on the table.
widely.
“… This?”
“It’s an arena badge. “It is an item recovered from the scene of their death.”
I lifted the diamond badge and tried to see the name written on the back. However, the engraved name may have been erased over time, so only two letters were visible.
“Goff?”
“Yes, I checked the diamond level players in the arena based on that name. “It seems that there are none among those currently alive.”
“Then why don’t we check the list of people who were Diamond level in the past?”
“I couldn’t reach there. “This is because the person protecting the diamond class in the arena is not an average person.”
I closed my eyes and was silent for a moment.
‘I heard from Diberi that the manager of Diamond Class is my father’s former colleague.’
This is a problem that can be solved by meeting him.
After thinking for a moment, I took the diamond badge and answered Albus.
“I’ll figure this out on my own as well.”
“Would you please do that?”
“Yes, but let me resolve the above-mentioned issues and this issue after I return to the tower. “I still have some business to resolve there with my party members.”
“I understand, Lord Verdin.”
I got up from my chair to leave.
At the same time, I suddenly caught a conversation that I had passed by earlier.
“Where is Edward now?”
“We don’t know that either. It disappears in the blink of an eye… .”
“Where was it last discovered?”
“It’s the Legion.”
“Legion?”
“Yes, I heard there was a conflict with another apostle. “I don’t think I can give you a definite answer because I haven’t witnessed it myself.”
It’s a conflict with another apostle.
Something interesting happened too.
I heard that fights between apostles are not permitted.
What on earth is this guy trying to do, defying the owner of the tower?
“Okay, then I’ll contact you after I get to the tower. “Through Philip.”
* * *
I headed to the tower with Cynthia, Rox, and Theresia.
Lastly, the ordeal promised to Timeless before leaving the tower. To get over the 50th floor of the devil that my father couldn’t get over and go to the starting point of the wave.
‘yes.’
‘The location of the breakwater’ Assabrag told me.
I don’t know why he gave me this hint, but it would be a huge help in solving this case.
If you break the wave before it grows, the power of the broken wave will not only be weakened, but may also disappear before it reaches its destination.
And in order to put this plan into action, he first went to the 10th floor of the tower and met Alfredo.
“My party members have finally arrived? Hahaha! Gregory, look at this. “I said I wasn’t abandoned, right?”
As soon as I saw his face, I kicked him in the shin.
puck!
“This bastard.”
“Hahahahaha! ah… . No Verdin. “What are you doing now?!”
This time, the abdomen of the collapsed Alfredo.
Pow!
“To kill you.”
“Wow! “Lord, you’re killing me-”
“There is a rat in my party who is bringing confidential information to the enemy, so I am going to kill him now.”
“Huh… .”
“Is there anyone who is dissatisfied with me killing this guy right now?”
Rox shrugged his shoulders. Cynthia turned her head, pretending not to see.
If there were no opinions from both of them, this story would be over.
Alfredo took turns looking at the three of us, including me, and answered while gathering auras in both hands.
Easy profit-
“I don’t know what you’re talking about! “If things keep happening like this, I can’t just sit still.”
“Don’t stand still. Resist and struggle until the end to survive. “Because that’s the last thing I want of you.”
“… Now, wait a minute, Verdin. What on earth are you saying I did? You gave secret information to the enemy? “I’ve never done anything like that!”
“okay? “If you don’t want to continue talking, there’s nothing you can do. Just die.”
I raised my sword above my head and spoke to him.
“The last gift I can give you is to cut off your head with a single, painless sword. “Alfredo Harald, Blue Tooth of the North.”
Alfredo’s eyes trembled greatly.
He tried to lunge at me, his hands covered in aura shaking, but then he shook his head and let out a long sigh.
Phew-
“Now, wait a minute, Verdin.”
“We do not accept wills.”
“no… . “It’s not a will, but I have something to say to you.”
“Even if you came here and told me everything, it would be difficult to save you.”
He looked at me, shrugged his eyebrows, then lowered his head and answered.
“I will give you information worth the price of my life. “It won’t be too late to hear your decision, so let’s talk for a moment.”
* * *
Alfredo told everything. This was no different from what Albus had told me, so how would I be punished for spying on Cynthia and me so far?
He brought out information big enough for him to take responsibility for it.
“You’re collecting giant corpses, right? I know the location of a glacier in the north where a guy once called God is sleeping. “If you let me live, I will take you there.”
“The giant called God?”
“Yes, right now those Rothschild bastards are bragging about having the blood of God, right? “The giant’s corpse I have is real.”
“So the corpse I have is a fake?”
“No, I’m not saying that. The guy I found was not just a giant. “He is a real god.”
“Really God?”
“… Yes, so powerful that it could destroy this world.”
Alfredo continued, looking at the ceiling of the tower.
“He’s one of the guys who built this tower in the past.”
