Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 5. Preparing for the journey (3)

Both Maral and Galdos were Rovans' henchmen, and Galdos was in charge of investigating someone who was involved in the Earl of Procurus incident that Rudia had mentioned. But if Maral returns with results, Galdos has not yet arrived.

“Yes, I haven't heard back yet. ”

“Hmm, I'm sure someone intervened……. ”

Rowan went to find the intruder in question, not to keep his promise to Rudia.

Purely his own gain. To tell Master Crohan more about himself and gain his trust. It was only necessary to report the matter to Crohan without informing Rudia.

The problem is that Galdos, who was entrusted with the investigation, still has no contact.

As Rowan frowns and thinks to himself, Maral cautiously opens his mouth.

“Roban. ”

“Hmm?"

“I was keeping an eye on Earl Poldenbine, and something bothered me. ”

“What's bothering you? Is there something you haven't reported? ”

“No… I was confused. ”

“What!”

Rowan's face is embarrassed.

“Did you say confusion? ”

“That's right.”

“Even though you know it's impossible? ”

“I thought it was impossible, too. At first, I thought it was a mistake. ”

“But?”

“But no matter what I thought, it was confusing! ”

“Hmm!"

The human soul has a very unique Mana pulse. It is a very peculiar wave that does not come from animals or plants, and the Clemenns call it the smell of the soul separately. And when you get confused, it means that there are people around you who use Clymers to manipulate human souls.

“Clymus in India.... ”

Rowan shakes his head vigorously.

It was impossible for anyone to use that technique in this world to remain.

Rowan, who blurred his words, came close to speaking.

“After Kasvan's death, Clymus in India disappeared from this land.... ”

Rowan mutters alone, asking Maral in a heavy voice.

“Do you know who Kasvan was the last one to use Climus in India? ”

“Yes, I am a former professor who was banished by Master Crohan. ”

“Nevertheless, can you be sure that what you feel is confusion? ”

“Of course.”

“You know what would happen if anything were to go wrong? ”

Maral considers for a moment, but then nods heavily.

Several times, Rowan checks again and again, following the story with a faint voice.

“If the confusion is clear to you, it is likely that whoever intervened in the case of Earl Procures is using the Indian Clermus. It could be Kasvan himself, or his progeny. ”

The moment a clue of confusion was added, all the stories were correct. Those who use Clymus in India have had him and Earl Prokers fight to reclaim the Circus.

If the force weakens while Circus defeats Earl Frost, he clearly intends to intervene and take control of it again. This was known because Rowan himself had actually attacked Earl Frost and his accomplice, Earl Gronst. The fact that you have to take a pretty big toll to defeat them.

However, the story was only true if the confusion was clear that Maral felt it.

“Maral.”

“Yes, tell me. ”

“For now, it's likely that what you felt was confusing, because it fits you so well. ”

“Obviously.”

Rowan nods, seeing Maral speaking with confidence.

“Then you must prove it. Lead your henchmen now and identify the movement of the confusion. ”

“Yes!”

“I should call Galdos in to pursue the Chamber of Commerce. ”

A cold smile comes to Rowan's face. If we confirm this and report it to Crohan, we can truly earn his infinite trust.

“Khh, Rudia, that girl's got a lot to gain. I should use it more often in the future. ”

Thinking about the future as it was going to be perfect, I couldn't wait to laugh.

“Heheheh, let's move! ”

“Yes!”

Maral also flew away with a excited look, thinking he could defeat Galdos and take on the god of Roban alone.

“Hmm, you were right about that. ”

A deep crack in Rudia's brow nods. Sitting across from Lydia, she also looks unbelievable even though she speaks with her mouth.

“If I hadn't listened to Rudia and confirmed that Earl Poldenbine was really connected to Earl Frost, I wouldn't have known. ”

But Rudia shakes her head.

“You can only look at Earl Poldenbine and tell him that you can find the rope that connects him to the Earl of Marcus. In fact, the actions of Earl Poldenbine so far have nothing to do with Earl Procurus. ”

“Yes? But I must have made contact with Earl Frost's chancellor. ”

“What did Earl Poldenvain do after that? ”

“It's... it's not coming out of the castle. ”

“It was very aggressive and I felt like something was going to happen soon, but then it stopped. After meeting with Earl Frost's men. ”

“Ah! The appearance of Earl Procurus was a surprise to Earl Poldenbine as well. ”

Something is constantly going on, and if it suddenly stops, it's when something unexpected happens. And it was immediately after Raul arrived that Earl Poldenbine suddenly stopped moving. In other words, Raul's visit was unexpected even to Earl Polden.

Lydia nods.

“It's nice to see Earl Poldenbine's plan in Circus, but it's not much of a welcome for me. Something's got to happen. ”

“That's right. By the way, I can't believe there's an Earl Procurus behind the Caron Council. This is amazing. ”

“I'm a little surprised myself... But this Rovanese guy really isn't doing a good job. I can't believe you didn't notice me walking around like that. What happened to" the job, "by the way? ”

“I was going to see you if you didn't. According to the man planted on the side of Rovan, he felt confusion in the Earl of Poldenbine. Maybe that's what Rudia was waiting for. ”

“What?! Did you say confusion? ”

“Yes.”

Lydia looks a little embarrassed as she nods. Suddenly, she looks away.

“Ha! Confusion! Climus, India!”

“But it certainly doesn't make any sense. It's been missing for almost 100 years. ”

“No, it's almost exactly what I expected. ”

“Yes?”

“If it wasn't for someone related to Kasvan, I wouldn't have planned this! Plus," Clymus of India. "This is so dramatic. ”

Ludia mutters with a very satisfied expression.

“So how's Roban doing? ”

“Yes, I think he's dedicated his work to Maral. ”

“Maral... Hmmm ~”

Once more, Rudia mutters with a hollow smile.

“He's got a good head, a good eye for the situation. And most of all, I like... being a thorough opportunist. Would you like to finish it yourself? ”

“As long as you let me. ”

“You shouldn't think so easily. Opportunists are those who can turn their backs at any time for profit, but if they're not sure, they never move. ”

“Don't worry. ”

“You seem confident. ”

“Don't you think an opportunist like Maral can stay under someone like Rowan for a long time? Besides, if you're a cautious opportunist like Rudia said, you can't turn down a solid opportunity, can you? ”

Rudia smiles and says.

“Is it enough to guarantee Maral's status? ”

“Haha, of course. ”

“I see. I'll give him my seat now. That should be enough, right? ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

* * *

“Do you really think this is a good idea? ”

On a slow walking horse, Joel asks with a faint expression. Towards Raul, riding side-by-side.

However, Raul did not seem very interested, and the answer with the grim expression was very short.

“Well?”

At that moment, I remembered the expression on Joel's face.

“This bastard……. ”

The fist that was trembling was expressing a desire to squeeze, but Joel was exerting his maximum patience.

However, I was too proud to back down so gently.

“The crier in front of Licayen told me his head had grown thicker! ”

“Well, what! ”
