Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

“It's my taste. It might be a bit unpleasant for a hard knight. ”

The masked man did not react to the Grand Duke's bitterness. He shrugs and opens his mouth again.

“So? Should I let the assassin go again? ”

The Grand Duke shoots him cold again.

“This is not a request, this is a suppository. How many mishaps would a knight or terminal gate be able to survive? ”

“I'm a little surprised about that, too. But we don't have enough men these days either. Don't blame me too much. ”

The masked man became the tone of his first little apology. Actually, there's a reason his black market lacks good assassins these days.

Even at this moment, he was grumbling inside.

‘If that stupid old man Ismail hadn't just died, we could have just left him there……. ’

“ ……!? ”

The Grand Duke was somewhat surprised by the honest answer. I had been with the masked man for a long time, but I had never heard of an apple before.

“So it's impossible to dispatch additional assassins? ”

“It's not that I can't, but I heard you didn't have a lot of fun this time. Maybe sending more won't do any good. ”

“Hmm……. ”

The Grand Duke thought for a moment as he wept. In fact, even though he came to the point, he didn't think it was Black Market's fault that this happened.

Was it the Emperor? Or it could be the First Prince. ’

But how did you protect all the bureaucrats scattered across the vast North? Even the unknown nature of the raid made sure it was handled very neatly.

‘This side of the force is already shaking. If the assassination doesn't work, it'll only be a frontal battle. ’

“As I said, why not give the assassin a little trouble and some backup? Looks like you haven't been able to pull your weight lately. Some high-end drone? ”

The Masked Man takes out a tempting offer, as if he could see right through the Grand Duke's mind. But the Grand Duke snorts.

“Do you think they'll back up the knights? ”

His Gladius may be nothing else, but the quality and number of his knights are excellent. The damage has been substantial recently, but if you squeeze the floor too hard, you can still compete with the Emperor to some extent.

However, no matter how much Black Market belonged to Illuminati, it was his idea that the talented merchant who supported him would help, but the Masked Man's idea was different.

“Of course, I know your eyes are tall. ”

Pair!

As he lightly clapped, the door on one side of the reception hall opened.

“ ……!? ”

Cluck, Cluck.

Someone enters the reception room with a dull sound of metal striking. The Grand Duke looks at you and gives you a slightly vague look.

“But isn't this enough power for you? ”

“ ……. ”

After a while, the Grand Duke awoke from his seat. There was no reason for me to stay in this unpleasant place after I finished my business.

“Let me just say thank you. ”

“Thanks for using this side every time! ”

“Hmph!”

The Grand Duke shoots at the man who won't stop smoking until the end and then leaves the building.

“Phew! Are you done with this? ”

The masked man shrugs and leaves the reception room. However, there are voices of fury surrounding you.

“To whom does an old man who knows nothing but knife! ”

“You've been patient, haven't you? There's no reason for us to bend like this. ”

However, the masked man did not pay attention to the words around him.

“Well, in the player's words, customers are kings, right? We'll endure because the name is a frequent guest. ”

“But how dare you... ugh! ”

A man in a black hood who was about to complain about something more suddenly sighs in agony.

“Didn't I tell you to call me 'Owner’, not the name? ”

“Sorry……. ”

“Gladius is a wretched man. It's also a partnership, so going against his will is not a good choice. ”

The man in the mask was still smiling, but he kicked his tongue and looked at those around him.

‘Those bastards who couldn't say a word because they were overwhelmed by his momentum... ’

The Grand Duke was occupying the room with enormous force as he did not like to talk to him. However, the masked man was not pressed at all and negotiated with a natural tone.

“But the owner. It seems our side has suffered too much for us to offer up to that. ”

One of my favorite underlings cautiously questioned me again because he usually had good hands, but the masked man still did not wipe his smile.

“That's already been agreed between us. And no matter what the outcome, this side has nothing to lose. ”

Whether the Grand Duke swallowed the empire or was subdued in the middle, the existing objective was achieved. What I gave the Grand Duke this time was a little investment in it.

“Hee-hee-hee!”

The Grand Duke's wagon was already leaving, as the masked man stared out. He recalled the meeting a moment ago.

Did he say he was the first Imperial Emperor? ’

He was also quite interested in whether the Grand Duke would be able to achieve his goals.

* * *

Another month has passed since Yurius heard Illuminati's visa from the Emperor.

“Enough! That's all for today's training. ”

“Phew... ”

“I can finally get some rest. ”

Pussy!

Along with that, in the training arena of the Starpalace, the knights faced each other and those who fell to the cold ground were flung out.

It was the middle of the winter outside, but as nearly a hundred people were training in armor, the knights felt hot from the heat.

Yurius, who was smiling and watching, spoke to Jegal Unhyun.

“Good work. Looks like you're in shape." ”

“As the Lord has said. If we improve on the problem I mentioned before, I think we've already reached enough levels to use it in practice. ”

Jae Gal Un-hyun was also satisfied. In fact, it seemed difficult to meet Yurius' deadline, but the Sharnos Knights survived unexpectedly well.

“We have a solution to that problem. By the way, hasn't personal training gotten any better since then? ”

“It's not like I said it would get better in a short period of time. ”

While we were talking about it, a figure approached Yurius, who was the key topic of the conversation.

“I'm here to see you. ”

“Lizzy, how's your training going? ”

“There is no big problem thanks to your consideration. ”

Beatrice answers, but Yurius can see into her.

[Beatrice Dios]

Current state: nervousness, anxiety

‘She seems to be having a hard time as well. ’

However, because it was a problem he couldn't solve, he kicked his tongue out and saw Jeghul Unhyeon.

“As expected, crossing a wall is not an easy task. ”

“Like I said before, I've never seen a solution like this before. ”

Yurius felt sorry for me, exchanging his eyes with Jeghal Unhyun.

In addition to the group training of the same Sharnos Knights just now, Jeghal Unhyeon's assessment of three knights who were individually trained was as follows:

“I have a gift for such mastery, but it's not even called a description. Training with me will help, but only consistent efforts will open a way through the walls. ”

This is as Yurius expected. Heinz has grown steadily with his help, but he has not been an outstanding talent in his past life.

‘But after that, it's a problem...' ’

In fact, what he was expecting was two other people. Beatrice and Caines are two of the most prestigious talents in their past lives.

If I trained him properly one-on-one with an absolute master like Jegal Un-hyun, I thought it would be worth looking forward to a quick achievement in the short term, but the results were not very good.

“First of all, that young fellow lacks the foundation for a general shamanism. I think I'm trying, but it's going to be hard in a short period of time. ”

Yurius felt sorry for him. If Caine heard that, he was thinking something that would freak him out.

‘I should have been more harsh from the start. ’

Caine's problem was that he was the typical lazy genius type. No matter how talented you are, if you don't have enough fundamentals, you'll hit a wall at some point.

“Especially since the foundations of the Force speaking here are not well laid. That's the thing that grabs your ankle the most. ”

“That's it. He's not even a radish. I can't help it. If the West Continent isn't a Muga, it usually goes to Knights Academy and is educated. ”

According to Jegal Unhyun, if he thinks he is talented in the east, he will build a foundation for him to learn internal medicine before he can even walk.

“So his biggest problem is the basis of the Force. ”

“That's right."

‘I can't do anything about that. ’

Caine's problem was quite tricky, but Yurius was able to solve it.

But surprisingly, I was caught by the person who thought it would be the most problematic.

“I don't know about that Beatrice saucer. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

Jae Gal Un-hyun began speaking with a cautious tone.

“I was frankly surprised when I examined her skills. Even when I saw the White Hoe Moon's new successor, I thought that all the talent in the western continent was gathered by the Lord. ”

“So what's the problem? ”

“I'm not sure why she's stuck in a four-story wall. ”

Here, Yurius tilts his head. No matter how talented you are, do you fall for what you insist is a wall to an unmanned person?

“Isn't that what walls are for? ”

However, it is not in the explanation of Jegal Unhyeon.

“Well... given that... if it's her gift, it makes sense that she should have reached level four by now. They have good teachers, they have good foundations, and they have good hands-on experience compared to their age. ”

Yurius remembers something different from his past life.

‘By the way, this time she came out of the world much faster, right? ’

Beatrice had only emerged in her previous life when she was in her mid-20s.

However, Yurius has now inspired us to train harder, and, unlike when he was staying with the Duke, he has done quite a bit of risky work.

So, you're saying you have all the conditions, and you can't just walk over the wall? ’

Jae Gal Un-hyun scratched his head as if he was sorry.

“I'm sorry it didn't help the Lord. But there must be a reason. She'll need constant training, but finding that clue is also important. ”

“If you say so. ”

Yurius replies coolly. It's because he has too much to do to handle a problem that he can't solve right now.

“Anyway, thanks for the analysis. So the Knights' strength is shorted now. ”

After all, there is Nooda on Jegal Unhyeon's side of Yurius' camp. It would be nice if one more superhuman were added here, but that's not an urgent issue.

‘The preparations are almost complete. Now all you have to do is move the Grand Duke around as planned! ’

Yurius' eyes flash. And less than a week after that, an incident happened.

* * *

“Open the door! ”

A man rushes to the door of the star palace where Yurius lives. It was a lion from the Imperial Palace.

“What's going on? ”

The lion cries out in haste at Yurius' question.

“Your Royal Highness! I think you should hurry to the Imperial Palace. ”

“Is Avamar calling me? ”

“No!”

The imperial lion hurriedly shakes his head and opens his mouth again in a splendid tone. That was the beginning of what was about to happen.

“Your Majesty, the Emperor has fallen suddenly! ”
