Episode 534: Busy

Shh.

The sound of the air splitting sharply echoed in succession. Following him, a thin layer of dust rose from the backyard of Arane’s castle.

Light weight.

One clear murderous intent.

A unique swordsmanship technique that focuses on cutting objects in front of you without any distracting thoughts.

From a distance, it may seem like it’s moving so slowly that you can clearly see it, but when you get up close, nine out of ten people won’t even notice if their throats are cut.

Adrian is controlling the speed.

“… … Phew.”

He let out a breath of excitement, calming the energy in his body. He returned [Silendar] to its scabbard and relaxed the muscles in his body that had become heated.

It’s quite refreshing.

This was the morning routine of a non-mage swordsman who had come to the uninhabited lands with nothing to do in the stable Black Hour Hall.

Next up is a fierce battle… … It’s time to dive deep into meditation, using the memory of recently single-handedly purging the first two members of Black Hour.

It was at that moment when I was trying to close my eyes and concentrate.

“Hey, you rascal!”

Keirel came rushing down the wall with agile movements. She held a brown basket high.

“I brought breakfast.”

“It probably isn’t meal time yet.”

“Since when have you been so strict with meal times? You used to be so selfish all the time. Eat early today.”

I caught the sandwich that was flying towards me.

Thick, luxurious slices of meat covered in cheese and sauce, sandwiched between thin layers of vegetables. Not one, but two.

It must have been created by Keirel himself, given the violent combination.

“joy.”

Kayrel set the basket down as she watched Adrian stop training and take a bite of his sandwich.

He quickly and slightly wags his tail. He looks down at the beast. Then he glances around and opens his mouth again.

“Adrian, that new sword you’ve got on your belt. That nasty old dwarf made it himself, you say? Can I take a look… …?”

It’s been quite some time since we received [Silendar] from Gharun, but not many people have seen it properly. No, almost none.

Adrian had been focusing on his training until the day of the final battle between Verden and Dahit Wesroel, the two Transcendent Beings… … .

The Black Hour usurpation plan was kept completely secret from anyone other than Society officials.

However, the quick-witted Keirel sensed that something was wrong and was very careful not to disturb Adrian.

Until recently.

It had been a relatively long time since the two had a leisurely chat like this.

“Handle with care.”

“Hey, why are you so careful? You wouldn’t get hurt while looking at the sword, would you?”

After receiving permission, Keirel quickly approached and slowly pulled [Sylendar] out of its scabbard. An eerie metallic sound cut through his sensitive hearing.

“……and.”

The single-edged sword blade, a deep blue color, reflects the sunlight.

Light sword.

It was a sharper blade than any weapon I had ever seen.

Gulp.

The moment he swung it slightly, a chill ran through his fingertips and sent shivers down his senses. At the same time, Sooin’s instinctive wildness stung.

The thought that if I accidentally touched the blade, I would be cut in half, flashed through my mind.

“This is a sword made from keel bone… … .”

While Keirel was blankly looking at [Silendar].

Adrian said.

“Keirel.”

“… … Huh? Huh? What’s wrong? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? You want me to give you my sword back?”

“It was Bohemian Tower who killed the Master.”

A heavy silence pressed down on my shoulders at the sudden revelation. In that split second, various emotions crossed my eyes.

“Now, what.”

It was followed by surprise, horror, anger, murderous intent, and then bewilderment. They soon culminated in one question.

“Why the Bohemian Tower… … ?”

“It was a human experiment.”

As Adrian ate the rest of his sandwich, he spoke calmly, as if he were having a casual conversation, about a past he had never talked about before.

A sudden Bohemian tower raid.

Years of repeated torture and experiments.

A cruel tragedy in which he tried to rescue his teacher without knowing it was a trap, but ended up taking his life instead.

Mind control by magic circle… … .

“If I hadn’t met my lord that day, I would have died in the Midloth Dominion.”

Adrian, who had finished his meal while recalling that time, lightly shook his hand. The focus of the cat that was staring at him was fixed and did not move.

“… … .”

Kayrel listened quietly. His whole body seemed stiff. His lips did not move properly.

What should I say?

When I found out that an old friend I had lost contact with had been locked up in a lab, suffering like an expendable item.

Not only that, but when I heard the story that he had pierced the body of Uncle Raymond, whom he considered his teacher and parent, with the sword he was holding.

Gukguk.

The power that came into my hands without me knowing.

My mind, which had been endlessly complicated, suddenly began to become organized. My unique way of thinking had raised its head.

Yes, that’s right.

What we need to do here and now is not to offer comfort or anything like that.

Blood for blood.

Even though the opponent is a transcendent being, and he doesn’t know how to take revenge on the Bohemian Tower, a beastman who follows his nature without losing his wildness would naturally say this.

“Are you going to kill them all? All of them.”

Keirel held out the sword he was holding, his eyes shining with a vertical slit. Adrian, who had received [Sylendar] back, declared.

“all.”

About 5 months left.

* * *

Verden, who activated the in the Iderat Federation and skipped the distance, arrived at the next destination shortly after.

“A city built by banks… … .”

A small city with all kinds of technology concentrated in it was visible to Verden floating in the sky.

The headquarters of Anonium Bank, one of the world’s three largest banks, following Magnus Bank and Dyna Bank.

Uniquely, it does not have separate branches, and its main product is to store customers’ assets like an iron wall in return for maintenance fees.

It even guarantees anonymity.

In other words, it’s a great place to hide illicit assets, as long as you can afford to pay the regular fees.

“Considering the security level, it would be difficult to hide your existence, Alpha, with .”

Verden has no intention of publicly revealing Alpha’s existence.

Not yet, that is.

Naturally, the guy who understood what I meant had one eye shining.

[Command confirmed. Function stopped.]

Verden recovered the magical power that had been charged into the mini golem. Soon, when the power was emptied, Alpha stopped moving.

After this, the body that had turned into an inanimate object was stored in a subspace, and its appearance was disguised with [Einver]’s .

There is no need to reveal your identity.

Verden, who had descended to the ground, reached the city gate through the road.

A fifth-rank wizard on guard duty at the Anonium Bank headquarters spoke sternly and clearly while blocking passage.

“If you are not a new customer, please present your ID.”

The ID we are talking about here is not the ID we normally use. It refers to the unique key of the Anonium Bank.

“thank you.”

The wizard, who had received a metal rod with a specific magical arrangement engraved on it from Verden, examined its internal structure in detail in various ways.

It was confirmed to be genuine about 10 minutes later.

Kuuung───

As the wizard’s signal was transmitted inward, the gates began to slowly open. A complex street appeared beyond the boundary line that separated the inside and outside.

The wizard said.

“Customers using vaults 3 – 28 – 134 have the right to use the facilities of the Anonium Bank headquarters by paying a separate fee. Would you like to use it?”

So, if you have money, you can live under the protection of the city’s security. It was interesting, but that was it.

“Go straight to the safe.”

“Understood. Then I will take you straight to vault 3-28-134. Follow me within 15 steps.”

The wizard took the lead.

Verden entered the banking city.

* * *

The streets of the city center were quiet, but that didn’t mean there weren’t many people.

Some customers, like Verden, were guided to the vault by bank staff, while others spent their leisure time in the city’s facilities as families.

In common, they were all people who were far from poverty.

‘It’s a paradise for the rich.’

I completely understand.

Although this place may not be that large in scale, its underlying technology is of a very high standard, and above all, it is safe.

As I walked through the streets, I secretly figured out that among those who manage the city, there are 6th-rank national-level powers, so that says it all.

We followed the wizard into a neat building with the Anonium Bank symbol on it.

“This way.”

I passed through the crowd of people working in their respective offices and boarded the high-speed horsepower elevator that had been prepared in advance.

Phew.

I descended deep underground at a fast but steady pace. It was sealed on all sides, so I couldn’t see what was outside.

As soon as the magic elevator stopped, the wizard added a separate operation. After irregularly repeating horizontal and vertical movements, the door finally opened.

“We have arrived. This is safe deposit box 3 – 28 – 134.”

Outside the elevator there was a suitable space in the shape of a regular octahedron.

In the center of it all was a single pillar about waist high with a small hole in it.

Crunch.

As the wizard inserted the metal rod into the pillar, the magic reacted. The Anonium Bank’s unique vault began to activate.

Kookookookookook… … .

With a slight tremor, the four sides except the elevator and the floor recede. The space expands and objects hidden behind it are revealed.

A wad of cash.

jewel.

Top grade magic stone.

Land document.

… … .

All of this is slush funds accumulated by the Nelonian Supreme Councilor of the Republic of Beldirn.

However, she was already dead and Jack had given her the key to the safe, so Verden became the new owner of this pitiful hidden fortune.

‘It’s more about goods than cash.’

I roughly converted the value and estimated it, and it was almost as good as I expected.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the wealth Grond had acquired in Loafra.

It stands to reason that the head of the largest underworld in the Eastern Continent would personally make far more money than one of the many heads of the Republic.

Still, it should be able to cover some of the costs of producing Isabella’s [Elderon] and Adrian’s [Sylendar].

Then the wizard asks,

“Would you like to receive it or ship it out?”

“Take everything. But if there’s nothing left to store, the safe will no longer be usable?”

“You can use safes 3 – 28 – 134 at any time as long as you pay the monthly maintenance fee. As long as you have the key.”

Maintenance fee.

‘Jack said he paid a year’s worth of maintenance in advance, so how many more months are left before the vault’s usage period expires?’

I thought about what to do for a while, but I thought it would be better to keep it that way for now.

It would be foolish to give up the Anonium Bank’s unique anonymous custody service and access to the banking city facilities just to save money.

‘Because one day it might come in handy.’

As the saying goes, the more available means the better.

* * *

Verden, who had moved all of the slush funds in the safe to the subspace of [Raindia], left the headquarters of Anonium Bank.

[Alpha. Resurrection.]

A mini golem with magical powers blazing from its core stretched its arms upwards with its one eye gleaming.

[Slush funds. Was there a lot?]

“You’ve collected quite a bit.”

I carried Alpha, who had just woken up, on my shoulders and looked for a place with few people. I blocked out the view of those around me and created a space magic circle.

Phew.

After completing the frame to some extent, I activated the first control of the Great Hall, and the inside of the magic circle rose on its own and reached completion.

Check the spatial coordinates of the main hall.

As Verden stood on top, purple waves enveloped his entire body. The light faded. Soon, the scenery of the Great Hall, not nature, came into view.

In this way, the control right contains a means to easily return to the Great Hall using the framework of the space magic circle.

‘At least when returning to the main hall, I don’t have to wait around for the to finish its waiting time, so it’s definitely convenient.’

Time efficiency is always important.

anyway.

With Ignacia’s expectations, he secured up to half a year and completed the golden relics request and the recovery of the slush funds.

However, there is still a lot of construction work to be done before we can begin our personal preparations for the Bohemian Tower’s destruction.

The news I received when I returned to Arane was one of them.

“Transcendent One, I have finally found you.”

The broker found a natural golem to repair the Dark Lord’s second golem, Beta.
