101

The Black Flower, the intelligence organization with the most extensive information power in the Alton Empire.
A branch of the Black Flower also existed here in Trasden.
The place I headed after leaving the castle was a slum, a rather dark place even within the territory.
Although Trasden was a fairly wealthy estate, there was a gap between the rich and the poor, as was the case everywhere.
Even in the capital, the most splendid place in the empire, there were dens of beggars.
The story was that all neighborhoods where people live are the same.
Anyway.
I don’t know why these information groups always base themselves in slums and back alleys.
It’s not like I don’t understand it at all, since it would be much easier to escape surveillance if I were in a place like that.
From my perspective of having to visit that place, it wasn’t a very pleasant situation.
In the meantime.
Leonhard, who had been following me, tilted his head.
“Your Majesty. Are you heading to the slums now?”
“uh.”
“Why there……?”
“The place I’m looking for is there.”
So Leonhard and I entered the slums. It was literally a dirty and filthy place.
Trash strewn everywhere.
The people passing by all had their bodies twisted and hunched over, and their eyes were shining with a rather sinister glow.
Why do all the people I see look so dissatisfied with their lives?
If I had come here alone, I would have had to greet unwelcome guests.
Of course, now, thanks to the escort knights behind me, such an unfortunate incident will not happen.
‘There should be a tavern… … around here.’
Their meeting place.
It was a tavern that existed in every slum of each city. Of course, not all taverns were in contact with the Black Flower. The taverns they ran always had the flower’s name in them.
To put it in Korean terms:
Dandelion Tavern.
Sunflower Tavern.
It was something like this.
This is a group that really loves flowers.
It’s a hassle to find, so I’ll just ask the locals for directions.
“excuse me.”
A middle-aged man who was passing by cautiously flinched at my words.
“What… what is it?”
There was a man who looked like a knight right away standing right behind me.
You would have known right away that I was a noble. Nobles like me were like a natural disaster to the commoners.
So, I can understand that kind of attitude.
Even for ordinary commoners, it is the case that most nobles treat them worse than cockroaches, let alone residents of slums.
“I wanted to ask for directions. Is there a tavern around here that has the name of a flower in it? Any flower is fine.”
“……There are about three……but which ones exactly are you talking about……”
“All three. Where are you?”
At my words, the resident pointed in the direction with his finger.
Unfortunately, the three taverns were located in diametrically opposite directions.
‘It’s annoying.’
This wasn’t uncommon.
In this case, after entering the tavern, you have to call out the password for the request and try filtering it out.
“Take it.”
When I threw a gold coin to the villager who answered, his eyes widened.
At the same time, his pupils were instantly filled with greed.
Oh my.
Now this guy is starting to look back and forth between me and Leonhard.
It looks like they’re just calculating the price?
This guy is funny.
I snickered and activated my mind, then looked into the bastard’s eyes.
“hey.”
“……yes?”
“Your name is Gerond, right?”
The moment those words ended.
The guy’s eyes widened.
“Ah…… No, but…….”
No, that’s not true.
It’s written right above your head.
Ignoring what he said, he continued talking.
“It looks like you’re trying to call some thugs and extort some money from me. Are you going to die if you do that?”
Let’s give a signal to Leonhard by looking at him briefly.
Sreung!
As if he had noticed my intentions, Leonhard drew his sword and breathed life into me.
That moment.
The guy sat down with a thud and wet his pants.
It’s understandable that he would do that, having truly received the killing power of a seasoned, high-ranking knight.
“Hee…… Eek!”
“stop.”
After the momentum has been lost.
“If you want to live long, you’d better think carefully about what I say.”
At my words, the guy started nodding his head absentmindedly.
This is totally terrifying.
At that point, any thought of doing something foolish would have disappeared.
Leaving the guy like that, he started moving in the direction he was told.
Thump.
Thump.
While walking like that.
Leonhard asked quietly.
“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with it?”
Leonhard.
The guy also seemed to feel something when he saw that guy earlier.
You punk.
I guess you’re pretty quick-witted.
“Fine. Why bother seeing blood? A warning would have been enough. I even gave directions.”
“……All right.”
So Leonhard and I stopped at our first tavern.
Daughter.
As I opened the door and stepped inside, the interior began to come into view.
Rusty wooden tables and chairs.
There were no guests at all.
I saw a middle-aged hostess who started looking at me and Leonhard with unmotivated eyes.
Are you here?
“order.”
The hostess came over to me in a flustered manner at my words.
“What would you like to eat?”
Even looking at Leonhard next to me, you have that kind of attitude.
It seemed like I had chosen a very good first destination.
I smiled brightly when I saw the hostess.
“Do flowers bloom at night?”
“…….”
“There’s something I want to know.”
“……Follow me.”
So I followed the hostess into what appeared to be a kitchen. It was an ordinary-looking kitchen, but when the hostess touched something, a hidden space inside appeared.
“You can just come in here.”
“okay.”
As we entered, a dark hallway appeared.
It was fortunate that there were torches hanging here and there.
“……Do you know this place, Master?”
“Oh. It’s an information organization.”
“……Information organization?”
“I found out about it by chance. I thought I’d go in and give it a try.”
As we moved along the passage, a space that looked like an office soon appeared.
Unlike the tavern just now, this was a space filled with rather antique furniture.
There stood Inyoung, wearing a mask.

[The mind’s eye is activated.]
[This is a high-level opponent.]
[Only a part of the target’s essence is grasped.]
[Beorn (25)]
[Talent: ??, ??, Analytical skills]
[Trait: Cool, ??, ??]
[Favorability: 3]

It’s Beorn.
Well, I guess there was a guy like this too.
Then the guy came up to me.
“Are you Kyle Celtarion?”
“Do you know me?”
“Of course I know. Are you here to ask for a favor?”
“that’s right.”
“Please sit over here.”
After sitting down in the seat that was naturally given to me.
My eyes and the masked guy’s eyes met for a moment.
“That’s amazing.”
“what?”
“How did you find out about our ‘black flower’?”
What was in the eyes of the guy who asked the question was curiosity.
How did you find out?
I know because I’ve been in similar situations dozens of times already.
Of course, the answer was somewhat fitting.
“I have some information power. I heard you’re the best at this kind of thing.”
“…….”
“Aren’t you going to accept the request?”
“Go ahead.”
“Baron Helaim. If you know anything about that place, sell it all.”
“……Baron Helaim…… Could you please wait a moment?”
Soon Beorn began to look through the papers.
After a while.
He put down the documents and stared at me.
“There isn’t much information available at the moment.”
“Then find out more about it. Everything from who the family members are, to why they failed, and what happened.”
“It may be expensive since it is an already extinct family……”
“If you knew me, you would know that I don’t care how much money there is.”
“……The request fee starts from two platinum coins. And it may increase in the future.”
There are two.
I don’t know.
It’ll be a lot faster for you to figure it out than for me to.
Anyway, I had enough spare cash.
This was because he occasionally received pocket money from Abel by handing him the forensic book.
I immediately handed him two platinum coins, and he politely accepted the money and handed me a document.

?Baron Hellaim.
?Gaju: Jaden Hellaim.
? Number of members.
?Baroness Merhan
?Saven Helaim, eldest son of 1 son and 2 daughters.
?Erciel Helaim, the second daughter among one son and two daughters?
?? ?Naira Helaim, the youngest of 1 son and 2 daughters
?

? Baron Jaden was a lord who was quite well-respected by the people of the realm, but it is said that he began to show changes in his behavior about 7 years ago.
?Symptoms of aggression and intermittent seizures have been reported.
?Symptoms of addiction reported.
?In January 296 of the Imperial Calendar, barons and knights committed massacres within the territory.
?After that, the massacre ended with the support of the Amnus family.
?Most of the barons and knights died during the subjugation process.
?The eldest son, Saven Hellaim, is also known to have died.
?It was judged that the control over the territory was lost. Currently, the territory of the Baron Helaim has been incorporated into the Viscount Amnus… … .
?The Baron and his eldest son are dead, but the rest of the family, except for Erciel Helaim, are missing.
?Currently, Erciel Helaim is assigned as Kyle Celtarion’s exclusive handmaiden.
?There are rumors going around about a spirit master between the lines.

‘The Viscount Amnus.’
It was one of the territories attached to the Baron’s house.
By the way, it’s a symptom of seizures and addiction.
There, a lord who was praised for his reputation suddenly went wild with his knights?
Just by looking at it, you could tell that something was stinking.
“That’s fun.”
“I will report the rest of the information as I learn it.”
“I’ll add one more. Viscount Amnus. Dig here too.”
The only group that benefited from the disappearance of the Barons was the Viscounts, who had swallowed up the entire territory.
There might be something more hanging down behind it.
First of all, the most urgent thing was to obtain more in-depth information about the Baron and the Viscount.
Because this information alone wasn’t enough to be certain what happened.
“Two more platinum coins will be added, is that okay?”
When I threw the platinum coin without saying anything, the guy lowered his head.
“I’ll pay you as much as you want, so dig as deep as you can. Bring me all the relevant information. I’ll collect the additional fee then.”
“All right.”
In times like these, information organizations are really convenient.
I really wanted to try making one.
‘Ugh.’
Unfortunately, that is not possible now.
It was hard to imagine how much money it would take to create an intelligence organization that could spread branches throughout the empire like the Black Flower.
It would take a tremendous amount of hard work to place the right people in the right positions.
Now, it could be said that it was an absurd story.
‘Well, I guess the opportunity will come someday.’
After leaving the request like that, I left the branch.
In the meantime, moving to escape the slums.
“……Your Majesty. The tail has been attached.”
“What’s the level?”
“……They’re not just simple thugs.”
“How many people?”
“At least twenty.”
Who is it?
At first I thought it was the villager I had saved earlier who had called, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Even if a poor guy like that could bring along a large number of people, it was limited to back-alley thugs.
If it were to that extent, my escort knight wouldn’t have said something like that.
The moment I took out the Staff of Bravery from my magic pouch and cast Haste on Leonhard.
Dozens of people began to surround me and him.
‘These guys, they’re definitely not just simple thugs, are they?’
If they were just regular thugs, there’s no way they could move so secretly.
These guys are assassins.
He’s a pretty well-trained assassin, too.
There’s no way these guys would have followed me around to rob me just because I gave them a piece of gold.
Who sent it?
Rotate the mana within the circle.
I looked at the guys surrounding me.
“Who are you guys?”
“……The shadow never forgets its grudge. I will avenge my brothers. Kill them!”
As the man who seemed to be the representative spoke, dozens of people began to rush forward.
It’s a shadow.
Now that I think about it, there was one name that came to mind.
Black shadow.
It was the group that sent personnel to kill Erciel and Seron.
Thanks to that, the main camp was destroyed by the storm.
Are they the remnants who came here to seek revenge?
They say the one who farts gets angry.
These guys are funny.
No words were needed.
Instead of moving my mouth, I started moving the mana inside my body.
