Level Up

It was the three families that ruled Berlin.

Most of the cities here are. There are actually several families that rule the city, and they run the city as they struggle.

Although there is a city with a Holy Spirit, he also cannot do everything by himself, so he runs the city with the help of several families or under control.

Berlin was a little special. It was the steeple.

The perception that the horse owner owns Berlin is very natural.

Even the three families that ruled Berlin saw it that way.

So their final goal was to take the tower. Either you bring the owner of the tower under your family's command, or you find a way for the owner of the tower to become the owner.

The reason they were able to make such a decision was that the owner of the horse tower had never appeared before.

It was a conjecture that the horse master was a symbolic position.

Meanwhile, it seemed that the guess was right.

Over the years, the Horse Master had never appeared, so it was not hard for everyone to see it that way.

But this time there was a case that could crush all of those assumptions and notions.

The real Horseman is here.

There was literally a commotion. The three families gathered all the information and connections they had about the Horsemen.

From when and how it appeared, to why it suddenly appeared on the front and what the tower was really about, I put a fever on collecting information.

But in the end, they found very little.

The owner is still not out of the tower, and Verdin has dealt with most of the matters related to the tower.

And I felt that the information related to the horse tower or the horse owner itself was blocked from the source.

Someone seems to be out there forcibly erasing the information.

The anxiety gathered the three families together. It was not just the family practitioners who gathered, but the family owners.

Each family felt the need to share information and cope with each other.

“Let's read each other's documents and talk. ”

Earl Anton gives you a nod at the same time as Earl Fabian and Earl Samuel.

“Let's do that.”

It was a place that promised and gathered in advance to organize and share all the information collected from their families.

The documents that the three people read were the result.

It was easy to read everything because there was not much content.

So everyone frowned.

“The contents...... are not very common. ”

Earl Anton's words make the other two nod. Because it did.

The three families themselves were similar, but the flow of information was slightly different, so it was a gathering place with the possibility to obtain different information.

However, there was little information about the horse tower itself, so there was little difference in the information they gathered.

Some very small things were different, but it was literally just a small piece of information. Moreover, even the authenticity was based on uncertain rumors.

“What do I do now? ”

“Why don't you figure out how the Horseman will get out first? ”

“Isn't it... obvious? ”

The words of the late Fabian make the other two glare at him. In fact, they're probably thinking the same thing.

“You'll want to take over first. Our city's troops are pretty good. ”

Not enough to say you're pretty good. Berlin's military power was enormous, within three fingers, throughout the entire city.

No, a horse is three fingers, probably the strongest when it comes to combat.

The city's own troops, known as Berlunny, were the same. Add to that the force of the three families leading the city, it will be truly remarkable.

“You can't just hand all this over for one reason, can you? ”

“Of course. ”

“Then...... we'll have to stop the Horsemen from taking over the city's troops first. ”

Everyone nods. And they glared at each other.

There was empathy between the three people. I didn't have to say it out loud, or fill out paperwork.

A potential alliance has been formed.

* * *

Kendrick walks around the entrance to the tower.

“Phew. What am I supposed to do when I get here...?" ”

When I came to think of it, there was nothing I could do here. As you wander around here collecting information, you may notice the tower and disappear without a mouse or bird noticing it.

They are stacked with surveillance artifacts in their shops. What can't they do?

And there was no reason for such a magnificent creature to leave the surrounding tower as a surveillance area.

Perhaps there is a much greater surveillance area nearby than Kendrick's shop.

‘Maybe I've already analyzed what I'm doing. ’

When Kendrick can't do this or that, and he's standing around, the door to the tower opens wide.

“Huff!”

Kendrick is furious with the giant door of the Horse Tower opening.

An old man emerges from the open door. Kendrick pales as soon as he sees the old man.

Kendrick, who lives on information, couldn't have known the old man's face. He was Verdin, the practical operator of the tower.

Verdin showed an unbelievably cool step as an old man.

He walks up to Kendrick.

Kendrick swallows his thirsty saliva and looks at Verdin with trembling eyes.

“W-what do you want from me...? ”

“The Lord is looking for you. ”

“Yes? Me, me? ”

“Yes. Why? Is there a problem? Have you committed a crime against our steeple? ”

“Well, that can't be right. Hahahaha.”

Kendrick shakes his head, smiling forcefully. However, when I looked at the eyes rolling without cause, I could easily see that there was something strange about them.

Verdyn taps Kendrick on the shoulder like that.

“You should never go out there and pretend like you're lying. ”

“Yes?”

“That's a lot of dirt, isn't it? You pretended to be practicing swordsmanship in your shop, and you broke the wall, did you do that on purpose? ”

“Yes, yes? Y-yeah, no way. At that time, it was really pure.... ”

Verdin chuckles.

“Don't make excuses. It's getting uglier. Just admitting it will help your progress. ”

“Oh, yes……. ”

Kendrick realizes that whatever he's saying is useless now.

The opponent already knows everything. Kendrick's mind reminds me of a group studying imperial languages without knowing anything at the hotel.

‘What are they going to do now...? ’

If he had known all about himself, he would have known all about the people who were with him.

Then it was more likely that something was happening to them while they were doing this.

No, I'm sure it has.

“You're so easy to read. But it's quite remarkable to see that kind of power come from information. ”

“Yes? What are you talking about……. ”

Kendrick quickly fixes his face and shows a grin as he looks at Verdyn.

“Aren't you worried about the people you were with? ”

The hot tingling of Kendrick's face passes by. Verdin glances at it.

“Don't worry. Nothing's gonna happen. Maybe...... you'll be really surprised when you see Top Lord. ”

“Of course you'd be surprised. No, I'm still surprised enough. ”

The fact that the unlikely Horse Master appeared shocked me for the rest of my life.

Anyway, Kendrick stumbles along Verdin's back like an ox being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

And two knights who blocked the retreat as if they were trying to keep Kendrick from escaping.

Verdin enters the tower and takes Kendrick to the reception hall on the first floor.

Kendrick was well acquainted with the first-floor reception room of the tower. He was a person who lived on information, so he naturally knew rumors or information about it.

Seeing you go to the reception room, I really wanted to see if the Horseman showed up.

“Here, you go first. ”

When Verdyn opens the door and looks at Kendrick, Kendrick swallows another saliva and carefully steps into the waiting room.

“Huh?"

The sound of Kendrick's voice as soon as he entered the room was utterly absurd. And then I was astonished at Kendrick's face.

When I heard the news of the Horse Master's arrival, I believed there would be no more surprises for the rest of my life, but that belief was suddenly broken.

“Hey!”

I didn't know what to say because I didn't know his name. I was just surprised and kept making noises.

“How did this happen? Surprised? ”

Kendrick can't even nod at the question of stone. Surprised? Maybe he would have fainted if he'd stayed a little longer.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell happened? ”

Inside were all the questions about all the curiosity. Of course, Hyun-seok had no intention of answering the question.

This was not the time to talk nonsense. Now was the time to move as quickly as possible.

“From now on, I'm going to take over Berlin's troops. ”

“Yes?”

Kendrick is more surprised than he was when he just found the stone. And according to the words of the stone, the result came to mind in a parable.

Kendrick's expression and mind are cold.

“Are you willing to go to war? ”

To take control of Berlin's troops, we will inevitably fight the three houses of Anton, Fabian and Samuel who rule Berlin.

I won't let those three families take control of the troops in the Horse Tower.

“Many civilians in Berlin will bleed. ”

But if Hyundai still says he will, Kendrick will help him.

However, it was his wish that he would not have to make any blood work.

“There won't be a war. Because they don't want that. ”

“It's not that easy. They're never going to let go. No matter what the cost. ”

“That's why it's okay. ”

“Yes?”

“I didn't mean for this to happen either...... but the three families have become unwilling to consume their power. ”

A smile came to my mouth.

Kendrick doesn't know what that means, and his face shakes. I didn't think I'd be able to keep an eye on things like this for a few days.

No, it didn't matter in the meantime. This was just a pissed-off toilet.

It's not enough to update information every day, every hour, every day.

Kendrick looks at the stone with an unbearable look on his face.

“We're starting to want to get out of the city. It's inevitable.”

Lightning strikes Kendrick's brain.

“Cities come together to form a country? ”

Everyone is doing well enough now.Why should they?

Kendrick stares at Verdyn, who quietly hands over the documents next to him, and quickly regains consciousness.

You've been with him this whole time? Am I too dull to know that? ’

Kendrick reads Verdin's papers and nods.

There, the current situation of the surrounding cities was straightened out.

As expected, it looks like the tight network is not confined to Berlin alone.

I was appalled at Kendrick's face as he was going through the paperwork.

“Huff! Has the mountain range been breached?" ”

Kendrick's brain begins to tremble. The information Verdin gave you is swirling in his mind.

He quickly painted a big picture.

“When you're done thinking, let's get moving. ”

“Yes? Where are you going? ”

Kendrick hurries to his senses and stares at the stone.

Hyun-seok laughed.

“If you want to take control of your troops, you'll have to meet the commanders of each Legion. ”

And I need someone to help me do that. Someone who leads the way and shouts for someone to open the way.

“Because that's me. ”

Kendrick can't hide his shivering face. Of course, I didn't say no.

He turns and walks on his saggy shoulders.

“Yes, I understand. Go ahead.”

Verdin taps his shoulder.

“You are now a servant of the Horseman. Relax your shoulders. ”

That made me feel refreshed.

At the very last moment, I realized that I was sitting in a dangerous place where my neck might run away.

Of course, his shoulders were wide open.

“Let's go, Lord Tower. ”

Kendrick couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The End
