Only Noblemtl
Episode 282 Clue (1)
Currently, the happiness level of the Dominion is plummeting.
It was self-evident that as the lives of citizens deteriorated, commerce decreased and parasitic forces attached to them also became more difficult.
In such a situation, Verden’s words that he would pay incentives proportional to the value of the information he brought became a law.
“What happened to the market area to the southwest? Who’s gone?!”
“That’s Tiff… … .”
“That, the quick-witted thief… … ! Go and search all over before that bastard robs you of everything! right now!”
Hundreds of people move in a hurry.
In search of ordinary citizens, guards, knights, nobles, etc., they carefully or boldly buried and dug up.
Each of them tried to find all kinds of information in the way they pursued, and at least ran around hard to get their hands on even a fairly plausible rumor.
Of course, there must have been some people who fabricated information and tried to get my money.
However, none of them intentionally manipulated the information. One reason is because I didn’t want to die.
The prestige of being the king of the underworld is strong.
In addition to that, the story that the two organizations were completely destroyed after unknowingly messing around was already widely spread.
News I came across naturally while looking for information.
“It is said that Madame Nerein headed northeast to Hill Street. What should I do?”
“Did you hit the player first… … . I can’t help it. Then we head southeast to District 3.”
“Siamon went there.”
“X feet!”
So the competition was fierce, but there was no conflict to speak of.
The eight factions who took action set an implicit rule of first-come, first-served basis, preventing their activity areas from overlapping with each other in advance.
All it took was an occasional fight.
Everyone is aware that interrupting the flow due to unnecessary friction is sure to offend the superiors.
Instead, in order to obtain more important and secret information, he chose cooperation between forces that he hadn’t had in his entire life.
“Money! money!”
The fear towards the pinnacle of Loapra, which was only heard in words.
The air was full of anticipation that a huge amount of money could be made with information that did not have a physical form. Even the reactions of being happy while actually holding a bundle of money.
Even after several days, the overheated atmosphere did not cool down.
A faction clumsy at doing something secretly moved openly, to the point where even the Dominion’s residents now noticed something strange.
Like that, the entire Dominion began to stir up excitement after a long time.
It was as Verden intended.
In the meantime, there were two people whose faces were white.
Baldar and Frankie.
The heads of the two organizations that attacked Verden at the tavern. The two had a dark conversation while drinking alcohol in a dark room.
“Xburreol, why did the king appear at that tavern just then? perhaps… … okay. Couldn’t the traffickers have deliberately led such a situation to happen? To see us become X?”
“I heard it was just a coincidence. It was the day Padreld came to the Dominion, so he probably didn’t hear anything. There is no reason to be hostile towards us in the first place.”
“Haha, then you just got unlucky and got caught by the king of the underworld? What a fucking life.”
I blamed others and thought positively, but my mood did not improve.
The fact that Brody argued, the fact that he watched without interfering with it, and the fact that he eventually drew his weapon and attacked were all caused by the two of them.
I was just acting normally… … I met the wrong person so badly.
Beep beep.
Baldar, who emptied the bottle at once, wiped his lips.
“Hey, Frankie. Are you going to just die like this?”
“… … What should we do?”
“We have to go out and do what we have to do, according to the mood.”
Frankie helped herself.
“Ha, this shit happened, what to do. Wouldn’t it be more productive to figure out how to get away from the Dominion?”
“Are you ignoring orders? To make the same mistake twice, that seems more like a handshake.”
“Fuck, then what can we do? Anything to pick up in the yard where the other cubs are scouring all over the Dominion? At best, it must have been duplicated. I just want you to quietly move on, and I’m shutting up… … .”
“Certainly, it would be meaningless if duplicated. It could just be annoying to the eyes. But what if there is an area no one has been looking for?”
For a moment, Frankie paused.
“what? where?”
“The Dominion’s underground aqueduct.”
Baldar continued, uncorking the bottle with his fingers.
“I secretly checked and no one had entered yet. He must have never even thought about it. Rather than going into a place like that, I’d rather get hold of a person and ask him something more.”
“Crazy, isn’t that obvious? Why go to that dirty and dangerous place? And if you try to get in, you’re a rat, let’s. The cub will be poisoned and Xral will be sick. Can you afford that?”
“No, that’s a group without a Luas priest or an antidote potion. Unfortunately we don’t have both. But would you know? That the rat went missing for quite some time.”
Baldar gulped down his drink and twisted his lips.
“Now the aqueduct is empty.”
“But even without Let’s, there are filth and heterogeneous species… … .”
“so? Do we have a choice?”
Even though the two were killed in a bar that day, there was no excuse.
However, thanks to her generosity, she was able to save her life in the end. Even Brody, who spat out harsh words.
But you never know when that mercy will be reaped.
“I might get my throat cut off tomorrow. If I tried to run away, that might be today. So, before that happens, you have to somehow prove its usefulness. Am I wrong?”
Not wrong. It was a veritable theory.
After thinking for a while, Frankie snapped his chin once.
“… … Get your boots ready. An X or longer one.”
* * *
Organized papers came every hour and occupied one side of the room.
The amount of information obtained by the three-digit number of people desperately moving was a level that could not be ignored. It was all the more so because there were many things that were not even sure.
Verden kept all that information in his head.
A unique memory that does not forget even a single letter. What no one else dared to do alone was done in real time.
Compare and analyze.
Instead of Verden’s own subjectivity, the information was collected through objective logic as much as possible based on the perspective of the residents of the Dominion.
‘First, the rainbow colored inn.’
Unfortunately, little information about it could be found.
On the day the fire broke out, all the guards at the inn disappeared as if they had gone missing.
There were some snooping on the tramp at the time, but it was nothing special. It wouldn’t be strange to find a vagabond without a suitable residential area.
‘It seems clear that it wasn’t an accident, but nothing is clear.’
I doubt it, but I have to move on for now.
There was too little information to take action.
Next, beat Mamentus.
This had its own harvest.
‘Most of it is trash… … I see a few useful ones.’
Nerein used brothels to seduce wealthy clients and nobles, while Tiff used her thievery-prone powers to move covertly.
At least professional information gathering activities.
In this way, he succeeded in obtaining clues about the connection between Mamentus Corporation and the Autonomousism.
‘To sum up, three in total.’
However, before the death of Mamentus Sanghoju, he had a personal meeting with the Dominion Lord several times. According to those who witnessed him, Sanghojuju’s face was very complex.
Two, Mamentus Superintendent’s entourage had been in and out of the eastern residential area.
Two sturdy men in robes were guarding the door, and they said that their posture was like that of a ‘knight’. It is said that the face of the aide who left the building after a while was very bright.
It’s the exact opposite of the upper house.
And the aide died like the upper house.
Third, everything currently owned by Sanghoe is being quickly disposed of. As if external pressure came from somewhere.
Some of the land, buildings, and various shares that were sold so hastily were purchased by the Dominion Lord and passed into his hands.
At this point, everyone knows.
That something had happened between the Dominion and the Mamentus Company.
And that too in a very negative sense.
‘It’s enough just for heartache.’
The Dominion of Midlos is an independent territory with the intervention of the Mage Towers.
The Bohemirn Magic Tower, which reached out after the Hana Dominion was formed, was able to succeed in forcibly rooting itself with its strength and power.
As the previous autonomous command lord, he couldn’t refuse.
In the present, the Dominion has passed through two generations to his son.
Originally, the relationship with the Bohemirn Magic Tower should have continued. But now it never was.
If that were the case, Mamentus Firm, in which Bohemirn Magic Tower owns a stake, would not have collapsed so quickly.
The same goes for the Rainbow Inn.
then.
‘Does this mean that the Dominion abandoned the Bohemirn Magic Tower and joined hands with the other two Magic Towers?’
Volcanic Island’s Mage Tower and Larian Mage Tower that contributed to the creation of the Dominion.
Those who are spreading their influence in the eastern continent must have been extremely wary of the Bohemian Magic Tower reaching into their territory.
So, taking advantage of the bad news that occurred in Bohemirn’s tower, it may be that they are trying to erase their influence.
‘Of course, the two Magic Towers will not officially antagonize the Bohemian Tower… … .’
It must be the use of a third force.
The kind of group Verden was looking for who was not afraid to be hostile to the Bohemian Magic Tower.
‘I’m not sure yet, but it’s the most powerful hypothesis.’
Verden immediately called Padreld.
“Did you call, Mr. Asher?”
“From now on, we will mainly collect information related to Mamentus Corporation. Even if it’s a small piece of information, tell them that you’re paying performance bonuses. And you gather trustworthy people and secretly create a surveillance network.”
“A surveillance net? May I ask who is watching?”
“we.”
Catching fish hidden in the river is difficult.
Especially if it’s out of reach even if I stretch out my hand.
So I threw a bait so that the opponent could come, and I put a wide net on all sides.
So that he can’t escape the moment he moves even a little and reveals himself.
Will the self-governing lord be captured, will the two magic towers be captured, or will the third force be captured?
And days passed.
“Asher-sama, you’ve been followed.”
A bite came.
* * *
“… … What happened to the back alley guys?”
“We are still chasing Mamentus Co., Ltd. Now he seems to be looking for and digging up the grave of Sanghoju.”
The self-governing lord narrowed his forehead and touched his forehead.
It felt like my head was pounding at the sudden change.
More than anything, what hurt his goal was the presence manipulating the trash scattered around the alley from behind.
The pinnacle of Loafra.
Wizard Asher, called the new King of the Underworld.
‘What the hell is he doing in the Dominion? No, what are you trying to find out by using behind-the-scenes forces?’
Why would a writer who sits on the throne of the underworld find out about Mamentus Co.? It’s so blatantly.
He probably doesn’t care about the Dominion’s authority in the slightest.
To think that someone who wasn’t even a real king was scorning himself as a formal aristocrat and lord, displeasure soared, but a stronger question arose.
It came all of a sudden and I couldn’t figure out why.
‘I can’t believe it’s going to get in the way like this.
In the yard where the two magic towers are urging to get things done quickly… … ! My mind was confused by the appearance of a completely unexpected person.
Knight, Lentiha said.
“Then I will lead the knights and deal with it myself.”
“… … process? who?”
“That false king. If someone who reigns in the dark world dares to pursue the lord, isn’t it a sufficient reason to punish him according to the laws of the Dominion?”
The expression of the self-governing lord was distorted terribly.
Yes, knights and nobles were nobles. The consciousness of the chosen people also obscures one’s view.
On the other hand, the self-governing lord was vaguely aware of the danger the opponent had.
No matter how exaggerated rumors are dismissed, it was by no means simple enough to take over and move the entire back alley in such a short time.
“Enough with that stupid thing, Lentiha. It’s not called the King of Loapra for nothing. This is not a matter for you or for me to handle or decide alone.”
The Dominion Lord sighed deeply.
Soon he threw his gaze out the window.
In the distance, two spiers came into view. When judgment is difficult, it may be easier to avoid responsibility by handing over the choice to someone else with authority similar to your own.
“Let’s discuss it with the two magic towers. So call them both.”
The Dominion is agitated.
