Episode 447 Party (4)
The Secret of the Rose Knights Since we didn’t know what would come out of the subspace, we decided to open one by one.
And the first is Lilith Marone, a military sorceress.
“A box…?”
What came out of her subspace was a wooden carving.
Small enough to fit a book or two.
“There’s no magic involved. Just open it.”
As soon as Versil gave permission, he opened the box.
And…….
“Uh…….”
“This is…….”
An awkward exclamation flowed from the mouths of the members who checked the items inside the wooden box.
It’s because the content was so different from what I expected.
“Cash, a few fake IDs, and a portrait is all……” ”
…Who the hell is the portrait? Is it a family member?”
“I think so. Looking at the hand stains all over the place.”
What is this…
“Everything next! Let’s open the next one!”
It was not enough to say that steam was missing, but the team members including me did not give up hope and resumed the subspace opening ceremony.
“Similarly, cash and ID… and here are some strange pills?”
The pills from the second box were all too familiar to Amelia and me.
“It’s an elixir called Lethe’s blessing.”
“……Does Mr. Raines know anything?”
“Yes, it has the effect of erasing the subject’s memory when taken. It’s an elixir created by Noark’s alchemist, but the royal family must have figured out how to make it.”
“This… might come in handy someday. How long can you erase your memory?”
“Well, maybe it’s been improved, because the shape is a little different from what I knew.”
“Is that so… Looking at it, they all come in different sizes. For some reason, it seems that the larger they are, the more memories they will erase… But I’ll check this in the lab.”
The third, the fourth, the fifth…
The sub-space opening ceremony ended in an instant.
“…It’s the pill that says Lethe’s blessing or something.”
“There’s some kind of poison here.”
“…It’s a strong acidic solution. I think it was used to destroy something. For example, a corpse or something……” The
subspace that I thought was a treasure chest was, unfortunately, empty. Well, it’s not that there wasn’t anything useful other than Lethe’s blessing.
“Sir Kaislan, could you look at this notebook?”
It was an object from the sixth subspace.
“This… seems to be the names of the tribals released from the royal family.”
A list of the names of the royal family’s informants working undercover under various agencies.
Suddenly, the power of the royal family was felt.
“Looks like this is only a small fraction of the many sources.”
“There are so many… that’s part of it?”
“Look. Aren’t most of the informants focused on a certain noble family? Maybe the owner of this subspace was carrying out a personal mission related to that noble family.”
“This roster…is just a source of information needed to carry out that one personal mission?”
“Of course it’s my guess.”
Kaislan finished talking like that, but I couldn’t think of any other possibility.
“I heard that the royal family has eyes and ears everywhere, but I can’t believe it’s like this…”
After those words, a heavy silence came for a moment.
All members felt it indirectly.
The real power of the royal family that we have to deal with in the future.
“Anyway, that’s fine.”
In silence, I tried to open my mouth as if nothing happened.
“Versil, I’ll keep this list. I don’t know if I can use it someday.”
The last thing to do is to take the list separately and finish this issue.
“Anyway, this is the end.”
At my words, the crew’s eyes lit up.
As the sub-space opening ceremony was held, the high expectations faded, but I thought it would be a little different this time.
“…was that woman’s subspace?”
Six of the Rose Knights.
I don’t know if he’s the captain or vice-captain, or if he’s a regular member, but one thing is certain.
The woman assumed the role of commanding officer that day.
But…
“…It’s a woodcarving again.”
It was not enough to say that the contents of the opened box were simple without giving up expectations until the end.
cash.
ID.
Lethe’s Blessing.
And…
a piece of paper contained in a letter with the seal broken.
“This is…”
It was an order from the royal family.
It contained instructions to destroy the ice rock if the expedition returned alive.
“I can write.”
It was not a bad income.
***
After the subspace opening ceremony.
All the equipment he brought from the labyrinth was transferred.
“What will these devices do in the future?”
“First of all, we will take the time and slowly dispose of the equipment we got from Noark.
“That’s right…”
In fact, most of the loot obtained from the expedition was handed over to me and entrusted with the right to use, but surprisingly, no complaints came out.
I was happy with the trust, but it was a little worried.
‘It would be perfect to be scammed.’
What if the captain wasn’t a good, responsible barbarian like me?
“By the way, Yandel, what are you going to do with the equipment of the Knights of the Rose? If you dispose of it as it is, it will surely catch the eye of the royal family.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I’m thinking of arranging suitable blacksmiths and reprocessing them one by one. It’s true that selling them is dangerous, but it’s a high-level material that makes it a shame to sell them.”
Mystium, a metal that is equivalent to Arc, is melted down, and Ogre Leather, a 5th grade material, is cut as it is at the seam, and it is planned to be made with other equipment.
Of course, even if you do everything, the amount won’t be much.
Even if you melt all the daggers, Mystium will be ambiguous to make even one armor, and in the case of leather, the loss rate in the reprocessing process will be considerable.
“We plan to decide together later what to make with the materials we have gathered, so if there is someone who covets the material, bring a reason that everyone can understand.”
Making a Mystium shield would be perfect, but a leader shouldn’t pursue individual success.
The public money will be used only for the group in a fair way.
Well, they didn’t seem to be interested.
“I’d like to talk about it sooner than that. I heard that the clan was founded a few days ago… When can we join?”
“Ah, if that’s the case, Bersil set the timing in order, at least briefly.”
“Oh my gosh? When am I?”
“Ms. Marone will be in about three months. I think it would be the cleanest way to retire because of friction with your superior. But if you can think of a better reason, let me know in advance.”
“Ooh, then when will I be?”
“Sir Kaislan…… is the latest among us. He has a position. By the time the interest in us becomes a little less… It would be natural for him to wait at least a year before joining.”
“That’s right…”
“Didn’t Carla-nim say she was kicked out of the clan a while ago? Take a break for about two months and express your intention to join another clan. There won’t be any clans that will accept you anyway.”
“…….”
“I looked for a bird’s nest, but I couldn’t find it, so I joined Yandel’s clan, who was a former expedition mate. After all, this side is much more comfortable, right?”
“If I say accept… what then?”
“Then ask for recognition of your previous experience as vice-captain and ask for a high position. I’m sure he’ll tell you to quit right away. You can trust me because I’ve also worked in personnel affairs.”
At the same time as the words continued, James Carla frowned without saying anything.
“Ah, Sir Parab…”
Versil’s logical briefing continued for a while.
It was pretty impressive.
Is it because the mage attribute, the former clan vice-captain attribute, and the modern man attribute are combined?
The handling of work is very knife-like, really.
‘What was he going to do on Earth?’
Anyway, as time passed and the briefing was over, the next question came to me.
“Bombblade Einar Pnellin How much does she know about us?”
“I don’t know anything. So when we meet later, everyone be careful.”
“That’s right…”
“Anyway, there are already two members of Chilgang, and if we go in here too… Even if we don’t want to draw attention, we’ll attract a lot, right? Fufufu.”
“Hmm, Parab, you think you’re at that level?”
“……Uh, isn’t it? No, it may be a little less in terms of external fame, but……. uh…….” ”
I’m curious about a member named Auyen Lokrob. First. It’s a name you’ve heard. Is it someone you can trust?”
In the case of our navigator, Amelia answered instead of me.
“It’s reliable. I guarantee it.”
After similar questions were asked, the topic changed again.
This time, it was about what happened at the Seungjak Ceremony, and when we told him about our decision to join Melves, our next plan naturally came to the fore.
However, since it is not possible to explain everything here, I have only briefly presented the vision.
“We have as many enemies as we have as many enemies.”
“…….”
“And there is a saying that the enemy of an enemy is an ally.”
Creating a clan, establishing a family, steadily building a wall to protect us, and increasing allies as much as possible.
That’s the crux of my plan.
To feed taffy to the bastards who dumped us into that hell.
***
After the serious talk, we had a comfortable conversation in a lighter atmosphere.
“How is Sir Kaislan? Was there any interrogation after returning from the expedition?”
“There was, but it was listening rather than interrogation. I didn’t use any verification magic or anything like that.”
We asked about each other’s current status.
“Mr. Goland, do you have any medicine to help you sleep better?”
“Yes. I’ll give it to you if you need it.”
“You don’t ask why.”
“Actually, I can’t sleep well either. Ever since that day.”
Some people get help.
“You said you were Mr. Marone……. What did you paint on those nails?”
“Oh this? Isn’t it pretty? It’s a trend among wizards these days. Tersia-san, would you like to try it too?”
Some even talked about their hobbies for a long time.
It was very strange.
I was a complete stranger until I entered the labyrinth a month ago.
“…….”
I sat alone on the sofa in the corner and looked around.
Unlike the seungjak banquet, there was no fancy court cuisine or expensive wine. It’s just that the tenant goes out and rents an empty building and has a conversation in it.
But still I thought.
After all, for me, this type of banquet is much more enjoyable.
“Then I guess I’ll have to go.”
As always, the good times flew by.
In the evening, as we left our seats one by one, the after-party of our expedition was virtually over, and Erwen Amelia and I returned home.
and two days later
“Are you going to the library? This morning?”
I left the house in the morning, receiving questioning glances from Amelia and Erwen.
That’s something I realized later.
[I’ll be waiting for you at the place where we first met in three days.]
There was no time on the note
. “Whoa…”
As I was
walking down the familiar streets of District 7, I soon saw my destination.
[Rabighion National Library]
This savage’s In the early days of waking up from my body, it was the very place where I really lived like a house.
However, as soon as I arrived, I was startled.
It was because there was a notice posted in front of the library saying that it was closed today
. I did.’ “What should I do? Should I just wait here like this? Yes, then
at
least we won’t pass each other. I
was thinking about that. I was
walking around in front of the door. A woman approached me with the sound of a shoe.
As soon as our eyes met , My body flinched.
“Meet Baron Yandel.” A woman
with black hair, black eyes, and even a black skirt.
Except for the white shirt, everything is black.
“Come this way. The Count waited—”
“Wrong.”
“……Yes?”
I looked at the woman I had never met who tilted her head and said straight
up .
.”
“Of the ‘Anabada’ clan, which was founded a few days ago.”
Even at my words, which must have been a little sudden, the woman did not show any change in expression. She
just replied with a business smile.
“I see. I’ll be careful with names from now on. Captain Yandel.”
“Thank you. Because I feel like that today for some reason.”
“That feeling… is that what you mean?”
“Ah, doesn’t the leader look stronger than the baron
? ”
A woman who expresses a positive meaning.
I asked her subtly,
“Do you know what anabada means?”
The answer came back immediately.
“I know it means a group of wild beasts in ancient language.
” .Yes, that’s right… As expected, do you know?”
I put on a sullen expression like a barbarian who lost the chance to show off my knowledge. Then the woman pretended not to see it and opened the door of the locked library.
“Come this way. The Count is waiting for you.”
Soon after, the woman walked in front of me, and I followed after her, licking my lips
. Again and again
