Power Master

“Hmm... This might take a while. ”

John nods and replies to his remarks.

“How much?”

“All we have to do is find the information and bring it back... so we just have to wait a little longer. Alex!"

Alex, a man with a sharp figure and impression, waiting outside the door for John to cry out.

“You hear that? Bring it. ”

“Yes, Master. ”

Once inside, Alex replies to John and goes out again. In the meantime, Alex went to get the intel.

“... ”

I started to feel static between John and the end of which there was nothing to talk about. It was John who broke the silence that seemed to continue until Alex returned.

“Can you... tell me why you're investigating? ”

“Because of someone's request. ”

“... I see. ”

John nods as if he knows the answer. With that again, the conversation was cut off and the static began to take over.

Knock, knock.

“Master, I've got it. ”

Soon after, you hear Alex's voice as he goes along with a knock to retrieve the information. John quickly opens his mouth, just waiting for Alex to arrive.

“Come in!"

Profit

The door opens with John's cry, and Alex walks in. In his hands were red boxes and blue boxes, which appeared to contain information about Baron Magnus and Baron Debeck.

“Put it over there. ”

“I understand.”

Alex, who came in, replies to John, approaches in front of Myeonghu, drops the box down and goes out again. After Alex left, John continued.

“The red box contains information about the Baron Magnus and the blue box contains information about the Baron Debeck. ”

John told me to open the red box first. The box contains quite a large number of scrolls. The manifesto took the scroll in turn and began to read.

Housekeeping, family relationships... really thorough. ’

On the scroll, there was a great variety of information, such as the structure of the mansion, family relationships, etc.

Is it the last one? ’

After reading the scroll, he confirmed that there was only one scroll left and frowned slightly. The scroll I have read so far has no negative information to suggest corruption.

Is there... no corruption? ’

There was a lot of information on the scroll, including the structure of the mansion, family relationships, and relationships with other families. If the last scroll did not list any other information, there is a good chance that there is no corruption.

‘Well... not all six families are corrupt. ’

The purpose of this quest was to check whether or not the nobles appointed by the Emperor committed corruption. All six families may be corrupt, but all six families may not be corrupt.

Swook

When he finished his thought, he picked up the last scroll.

- 20 young children enter Baron Magnus' back door. However, there are no young children found anywhere in the mansion.

‘Huh? ’

After reading the earlier part of the scroll, the scroll frowns on the written information. It was very offensive to leave corruption. He frowned and continued to read the scroll.

- The Armour Merchant Guild is using Asren as a node to absorb the surrounding Merchant Guild and increase its size at a rapid rate. Baron was presumed to have had some dealings with the merchant lord, Almus, frequently.

- Baron Baron Veron frequents Madoros, a restaurant in the outskirts of Asren. Research shows that restaurant Madoros is not just a restaurant, but a location of the Thief Guild Boros. Unable to determine what was done.

Hmm.

After checking all the information on the scroll, I thought, "Scroll down."

‘... it's gonna take longer than I thought. ’

The last scroll contained negative information about the baron Magnus. Of course, not all the information was clear, so I had to investigate, but it seemed like it would take a very long time to investigate.

Swook

Myeonghu glances back at the blue box containing the Baron Debeck's information. Originally, he tried to check all the information of both families and move on. But I wasn't reading Baron Magnus' information at the moment. After looking at the blue box, he turned his gaze and put the scrolls on his desk back into the red box and got up from his seat.

“...? ”

John looked curious when he saw the aftermath.

“There's... a lot to investigate. Baron Debeck will have to read it later. ”

“... Got it. ”

At the end of the sentence, John nods, looking at the scroll with negative information on the baron Magnus.

“I'll come back later. ”

That's how he opened the door and came out.

“Are you done?”

When the manifest came out, Alex, who was waiting outside the door, asked. Myeonghu nodded without a word and began to walk towards the outside. After gazing behind the scenes, Alex turned around and entered the room as soon as the light disappeared from his sight.

“Master, do you want to clean up? ”

After entering the room, Alex looks at the red and blue boxes.

“No, wait. ”

At the words of Alex, John shakes his head and answers, getting up from his seat and sitting on the seat that Myeonghwa sat on. Then, from the red box containing Baron Magnus' information, he pulled out the last scroll that he saw and began to read.

“Hmm...”

Looking at the baron Magnus' information written on the scroll, John sobs. After checking all the information written down, John put the scroll back into the box.

“The Tower of the Black Moon... is it clean? ”

“Yes, Master. I didn't see any of them. ”

“Hmm...”

John sighs and thinks in Alex's answer.

“Yes, I think you should. ”

John, who was lost in thought, wakes up from his seat and mutters. Then he goes back to his seat and says to Alex,

“Put it back.”

“Yes, Master. ”

* * * *

The city of Asren.

Profit

“Move carefully! ”

A long procession of wagons moves along the road somewhere. Covered with a cloth, I couldn't figure out what was in the wagon, but it seemed to be carefully handled and contained very important items.

“Stop!”

Soon the wagon procession stopped at the forefront of the middle-aged man's shout. The wagon procession stopped right in front of Baron Magnus' mansion, which manages Asren and the villages around it. A middle-aged man stationed the wagons in front of the mansion approached the entrance of the mansion and opened his mouth to the soldier guarding the entrance.

“Will you tell the baron that the merchant lord of Alamus is here? ”

“Oh, you must be Mr. Almus. Wait a minute.

On his word, the soldier opens the door and goes inside. After a while, the soldier who went inside returns.

Profit

“Rachelle will be waiting for you when you get inside. ”

The soldier comes back and opens the gate.

“The butler?”

Almus looks a little surprised and greets the soldier.

“Yes.”

A soldier who secures the gate to Almus' hermitage nods.

“I understand.”

The soldier nods and thinks, slightly frowned.

"What's with the inspiration?"

Baron Magnus' butler, Rachelle, did not have a close relationship with him. Rather, it was a bad story. Something made me uncomfortable that he was waiting for him.

“Move carefully! ”

Almus leads the wagon inside and approaches the mansion. As the soldier said, there stood Baron Magnus' butler Lassel, who appeared to have a clear head in his mid-60s.

“Stop!”

When he arrived at Rachelle, he stopped the wagon and approached Rachel with an artificial, awkward smile.

“Deacon, it's been a long time. ”

“Haha, I wish I'd never seen you again... I see you again. ”

Rachel smiles widely and replies to Almus' greeting.

You're such an inspiration! ’

At Rachel's words, Almus was furious, but he couldn't stand the thought of something else for a moment.

“What brings you here? ”

“Oh, I'm here to see Baron. ”

Almus represses his anger at Rachelle's question. Then Rachel smiled and approached the wagon and continued.

“The baron is out. What is this wagon? ”

Lasalle arrives at the wagon and lifts the cloth that was covering the wagon. As you lift the cloth, the pots and jewels on the wagon appear.

“Oh, those are gifts for the baron. ”

Almus, who did not expect to lift the cloth, said in a bewildered expression. At the words of Almus, Rachel mutters, smiling in relief once more.

“Gift."

Swook

Rachel, who mumbled and lowered the cloth again, looked at Almus and said,

“As I said before, the baron is out. ”

“I'll wait.”

“I don't know when he'll be back. Maybe he won't come today. ”

“I made you a promise, so you'll come inside today. ”

At Rachelle's words, Almus smiled and replied. Rachelle frowns slightly at Almus' answer and continues.

“These wagons... they're a bit annoying. ”

“It's a gift to the baron anyway... Just tell me where it is and I'll move it to you. ”

It was just then.

Dal-Dak. Dal-Dak.

You hear the wheels rolling from behind you. Almus turns back, smiling at Rachel's embarrassed expression, looking behind him. As expected, the baron Baron's wagon was approaching from the front gate.
