I Can See Your Code - I Can See Your Code chapter 203

I see your code (203)

For a moment, silence lingered in the room. It was mainly to express absurdity, but one person was different.

Benjamin Ford.

Man, who had a position above the royal family in Argon, realized the meaning of my words and was hardening his face.

At that moment, Echo, who was looking at me like a madman, opened his mouth.

“Are you crazy?”

“Please be careful with your speech. Anyway, I am the owner of this place.”

“You have to say something that makes sense. Have you entrusted the title of marquis to Calpheon? It’s like I’m asking you to give me some sort of marquis title… … .”

I guess I was in a worse state than I thought. If you think about it for a bit, you’ll understand why I said this.

I shrugged and shuddered.

“I am not just asking for it. I’ll give you ten thousand gold.”

“… … Are you kidding me now? Do you trade noble titles for money? Is that also a marquis title for only ten thousand gold?”

Echo stood up with a frown on his face.

“I don’t think there’s anything more to say. It would be better to prepare more diligently to defend Layton. Like I said, the next one will be an army, not a lion.”

“If you are angry enough, stop getting excited and sit down and think about it. Why did I make this offer?”

“What?”

“I’m not saying I just wanted you to be pissed off.”

“… … .”

Echo looked down at me, then sat down again. After looking at my expression, I think I’ve realized now that I’m not just talking nonsense.

Haha, I thought it was me, so I just didn’t see anything, but I’m not really an idiot. If you think about it for a moment, you will notice the hidden meaning.

Unsurprisingly, after a while he looked at me with amazement.

“no way… … To betray Argon… … ?”

That’s not it. Because I never had a team in the first place.

However, from the point of view of Calpheon, it is enough to think that way. From the moment the Prime Minister arrived, I must have been convinced that I was, in effect, Argon’s commander.

Demanding the position of Marquis in Calpheon in this situation would seem like I would betray Argon and give him a chance.

It must have been a proposal that could not be rejected for those who were facing the worst possible family. It is the reverse of Argon.

“Right! I did! Now I understand! Apologize to me, I was foolishly unable to read the essence and was only acting like a fool.”

Echo looked back at me in a polite manner and apologized.

I guess I still can’t read the essence… … .

Anyway, if you misunderstand me like that, it’s fine for me. It was also the intended result. I nodded, raising the corners of my mouth.

“It was nothing. I’m glad you noticed it now.”

“Gerlian Union and Argon… …ね. We also apologize to Argon. It looked like I hadn’t seen him for a while.”

“… … .”

Benjamin stared at Echo and me, smiling coldly. The atmosphere is different from before.

I asked Echo with a bright expression.

“Then can I get the title of Marquis of Calpheon?”

“of course. It’s unprecedented, though… … What is the precedent? ha ha ha.”

“You’re hot too. He is a rational and intelligent wizard of Calpheon.”

It seems that the human character has completely changed for some reason.

Well, I like the bright side better than dealing with a frown.

I was about to tell the employee who was watching me with a worried face to bring me ten thousand gold, but Benjamin, who had been cold since before, suddenly opened his mouth.

“You cannot receive the title of Marquis Calpheon.”

At those words, Echo intervened, suffocating.

“No, why are you meddling in argon when we give it to you? Sir, sometimes you have to admit defeat.”

“He is the agent of Dante, Marquis of Argon.”

Echo, who was blushing, frowned.

“So what’s the problem? Although I am an agent, I am not a party to it, so it wouldn’t matter if I became a noble of another kingdom, right?”

“It is not. However, the position of an agent is not an easy one. It is also the place to represent the Marquis of Dante. But is such a person the Marquis of Calpheon?”

Benjamin snorted.

“All continental people will curse and laugh at you. The Marquis Dante is a ruthless, bat-like man with his feet all over the place. Did you get permission from the Marquis Dante for this? If he was sane, he wouldn’t have allowed such a problem.”

First off, I’m sane.

“Yes. It is, of course, a matter of permission from the Marquis. He told me to do whatever I want because I have my own life.”

“I can’t believe it. I have to listen to myself, not my agent.”

“… … Are you talking about the Marquis Dante himself?”

“of course.”

Benjamin stared at me coldly. And he added firmly, as if he would not accept any disagreements.

“Wherever you are, together.”

“… … .”

I didn’t say anything for a while and stayed still.

To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I didn’t know my opponent would come out so tough. The conditions attached there are also quite strange.

Why do I have to be with Dante? There’s no problem in checking if only you meet yourself, so there’s no reason for that, right?

Then, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

Perhaps… … Are you suspicious of me, Dante?

It’s only speculation, but it’s a possibility. Because ‘Tarnhelm’ itself was received as a reward from Argon in the first place.

They are of the same age and have similar skills, but they are so close that they even entrusted Suba to the full authority. In fact, once you know the existence of a relic that changes your appearance, you can doubt it at least once.

Damn, I should have kept this in mind. Was I too lazy? I was just trying to come up with a countermeasure… … .

It should have taken into account that the opponent is a living human, not an NPC. It means that he is an old monster who has been in politics for decades.

“… … .”

Let’s calm down for now.

Benjamin’s face grew more and more confident, and Echo’s expression filled with doubt. It was clear that both of them were taking my long silence their way.

Even if you plan to take measures later, you should open your mouth now. If it was longer, there would be no excuses.

I took a deep breath and spoke quietly.

“The Marquis Dante cannot afford to go outside. They are closing the building for training.”

“But if you were an agent, wouldn’t you have a way of contacting me? So, let’s get in touch, and let’s all accompany us to that flying relic. I will bear that much effort.”

“What do you need to do? Everyone knows that I was given full power by the Marquis Dante.”

“Then there is nothing you can do. Whether Calpheon and the Alliance agree or not, Argon will not recognize Layton’s independence. I must be told by my own mouth that I gave permission.”

“… … .”

this is how it comes out

This is different from simply refusing without justification. The Prime Minister’s proposal may seem like a hoax at first glance, but it was a reasonable enough opinion.

Contrary to what the other two countries admit and reluctantly agree, it means there’s plenty of room to tackle Layton’s future.

I looked at Echo in hopes of a support fire, but he turned my gaze away.

Even if you don’t know for sure what’s going on, you probably want to leave it alone.

For me to stand on my feet in both Argon and Calpheon and become independent, I can only avoid the worst of them, but it would be beneficial if I stood still like this. Or at least you can maintain the status quo.

… … Should I go out now and put a tarnhelm on someone else?

But the prime minister won’t allow it. Because he was already half convinced that I was the same person as Dante.

Maybe if I try to stay alone, I’ll do anything to stay by my side. It is understandable just by looking at the fact that he will accompany him on the ride to Sva.

some way… … .

It was a time when I was so worried.

profit.

Suddenly, the door opened from outside, and a man came in.

A handsome man with a cool, cold impression with moderately grown black hair.

… … It was clearly Dante’s appearance.

In an instant, he drew all the attention of the crowd, stared intently at me and exhaled calmly.

“I have come to call. What the hell did you bother me for?”

* * *

“… … .”

As before, I had no choice but to stand still, speechless.

That’s right, because this wasn’t my plan.

However, this was not something that Tair Terberoz could decorate. It’s because he’s been in this room with me all this time. If you were trying to secretly order something, you would have been caught by other people first.

No, aside from all that, there was no way physically anyone else could become Dante.

I always keep Tarnhelm in Sheba, and she is still in my arms. In fact, it is impossible to assume that someone secretly stole it.

I thought it might have been transformed into magic for a moment, but it wasn’t. Because there was no trace of mana that is usually seen in the appearance-changing magic.

Besides, even if I accidentally solved it all, there was another strange thing.

How the hell do you know we need Dante here?

When all the messengers of the three kingdoms were gathered, Echo used high-level magic that did not allow sound to spread out.

Thanks to that, no matter how much magic power was raised, there was no way to overhear the conversation from the outside.

Whether it is a relic or a hidden technology, the problem still remains, no matter how eavesdropping it is by using something.

Disguised as Dante to help me, it would have been impossible without knowing that I was Dante. And only one person knows that I am Dante, Iron.

If he had been here, he would not have disguised himself as Dante, but would have come in his true form and smashed the room.

What is the reason… … It must have been something like, why are you making fun of your mouth and leaving your good fist behind?

Anyway, the probability of that being an iron is zero.

So who the hell is that and why are you trying to help me? No, more than that… … Are you sure you want to help me?

I couldn’t be sure of anything unless I knew who it was. He came at just the perfect time and said, ‘Actually, this guy is not like my agent.’ Because it can be done.

… … First of all, you should check who your opponent is first. In the end, I even had the perfect technique to use at times like this.

I calmed my bewildered heart, and Dante… … . So, I checked the code of the guy who was disguised as Dante.

And then the moment I saw the message that popped up on my head. It hardened again. Because the opponent was a very unexpected person.

Why the hell is this man here? … .
