“…… Of course! ”

Marquis Beyond quickly nods.

The role model, Pilov, had a conversation and had no reason to say no.

“Then go to the mansion! ”

Pilov smiled widely at Marquis Beyond's answer and headed to his mansion in front of the Imperial Palace.

Marquis Beyond followed Pilov.

They shared stories and headed to the mansion.

“I'll get right to the point. ”

At the same time as his arrival, Pilov made his point.

Marquis Beyond focused on Pilov's increasingly serious voice.

“I have someone to introduce you to. ”

“Introduction?”

“Yes.”

Pilov nodded and followed.

“Someone must want to see you. ”

Marquis Beyond thought.

‘If you are.... ’

It would not have been normal for Pilov to use his title.

Who the hell is that?

‘There are only Dukes.... ’

No matter how much I think about it, it only reminds me of the Dukes.

But the Duke would not.

He was different because the faction didn't have to meet through Pilov.

I wondered who it would be.

“You'll be here soon. ”

“…… now? ”

Marquis Beyond, who was locked in his thoughts, replied with a surprised look at Pilov's words.

“Are you all right?”

“… yes, but I can ask who……. ”

Gain on bait

The door opened and Marquis Beyond was forced to stop speaking in the middle.

Marquis Beyond turns his head and looks at the door.

“ ……? ”

And Marquis Beyond, who opened the door, tilted his head.

Of course I thought he was a butler.

But it wasn't.

It was a middle-aged man with pale skin on a solid body.

“Nice to meet you. Marquis Beyond.”

Marquis Beyond, who received an in-house greeting, was forced to panic a little.

“I'm Lophed. ”

The man's name is Lophed.

It was the first name I heard.

“Do you..... ”

Marquis Beyond looks at the pilov.

Pilov smiles in Marquis Beyond's eyes.

“Yeah, that's him. ”

“Oh, you were talking about me? ”

Lophed asked Pilov.

“Yes, until I had someone to introduce me to. ”

Pilov nodded and replied.

“I see.”

Lophed smiles quietly and looks at Marquis Beyond.

“I'm an information merchant. It covers information from all countries. ”

“ ……! ”

Marquis Beyond was forced to be surprised by Lophed's words.

‘All countries? ’

Closer, the best information guild in the Empire, only dealt with information from a few surrounding countries.

But every country?

‘It's not going to be a lie.... ’

This is the man that Pilov introduced.

There may be exaggerations, but they will not be completely false.

“But why me..... ”

Then Marquis Beyond questioned Lophed.

Marquis Beyond wondered why a huge information merchant wanted to meet himself, enough to handle information from all countries.

“Do you know the information guild closure well? ”

“Yes, I know. ”

Marquis Beyond nods.

The city ‘Beyond’ was not only famous for its leader guild.

There was also the headquarters of the best information guild in the Empire, the 'Closure’.

“The reason I wanted to see Marquis was because of the closure. ”

“ ……? ”

“I recently got one piece of information. ”

Lophed continued with a serious expression and voice.

“The fact that the closure is deeply associated with Rostang. ”

“Rostang?”

Marquis Beyond frowns slightly and mutters.

What kind of place is Rostang?

It was the organization that was currently receiving the hottest attention on the continent with Bag.

“Is this information certain? ”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was unbelievable information.

What are you afraid of, closure? Are you going to lose your horse tower and chuck?

“Yes, it's not just the closure. ”

Lophed nodded and said to Marquis Beyond:

“Once in the Empire, Duke Epilogue and Baron Proll joined us. ”

“Yes? Duke Epilloc and Baron Proll? ”

Marquis Beyond's face was filled with surprise.

“You've already sent a secret letter from the Horse Tower. ”

And in this paper, Pilov, who was silently listening to the story, replied:

“Sooner or later, we will recover our territory and the trial will be held. Probably a death sentence.”

The Horse Tower was badly damaged by Rostang.

If we don't properly deal with the two nobles who sponsored Rostang in this situation, we will lose Chuck.

No matter how imperial it was, it was too burdensome to build a tower and chuck.

“Ah……. ”

Marquis Beyond sighs at Pilov's words.

“I don't think you asked me to meet you to tell you this..... ”

He then blurred his words as he looked at Lophed.

I don't think Closser created a position to tell you that it has something to do with Rostang.

There would have been another purpose.

“Yes, I am. ”

Lophed once again smiled and followed.

“I'd like to take this opportunity. To Beyond.”

“... That's why. ”

When I heard that I was an information merchant, I wondered if I was going to take Closser's place.

“May I take the position of closure? ”

Lophed asked.

“Yes, of course. ”

Beyond replied without even complaining.

If there's a connection to Rostang, closure is the end anyway.

Even if it wasn't Lopez, Closser's vacancy would be occupied by someone.

Then, it is better for Lophed to have a deep relationship with King Pilov.

It was because if the relationship with Lophed deepened, the relationship with Pilov would also deepen.

“Thank you.”

Marquis Bjorn Lophed secretly smiled and thanked him for his answer.

“But……. ”

But that, too, was brief.

“I have a problem. ”

Lophed smiles and frowns.

“There is no definitive proof. I don't even know the relationship between closure and rostang. They also handle information, so they've already erased most of the traces. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Marquis Beyond was forced to mutiny.

‘What is this.... ’

Don't you know the relationship between closure and rostang in the horse tower?

Doesn't that mean there's no solid evidence?

“Oh, it's not a lie. Let's start with this.”

On Marquis Beyond's side, Lophed takes out the magic pouch and then takes out the documents in it.

“I gather the remaining traces, but..... ”

Marquis Beyond, who suddenly wondered if it was a document, was able to solve the question in Lophed's words.

Lophed gave me the paperwork.

Marquis Beyond took the paperwork and began to read it as if he had waited.

“ ……! ”

And Marquis Beyond, who was reading the paperwork, was surprised.

The information on the documents was shocking in itself.

I thought it might be a lie.

No, there was also the possibility of a lie.

However, Lophed is the one introduced by Pilov.

In other words, the assurance of this information is assumed by the pilov.

It doesn't matter if Pilov is also involved in a lie.

Because if you believe this information to be false or not, you will be able to take the line of the pilov that you had hoped for.

“What can I do? ”

Marquis Beyond, who had finished thinking, asked Lophed.

Lophed laughed at Marquis Beyond.

“…… I have a good plan. ”

[1] Wisdom rises.]

Su-hyuk covered the book and smiled with warmth.

‘The novel is more fun. ’

Then I got up and returned the books I had read and started walking to the bookshelf to pick up the next ones.

‘That's right now.... ’

Warmth disappeared from Su-hyuk's face as he walked to the bookshelf and regret appeared.

There were not many books emitting light.

Very few.

In addition, given the disappearance of clumps every time I read one book, it seemed that if I was fast, it would be a conquest tomorrow if I was late today.

It was then.

Jeebuck!

Su-hyuk stopped walking.

And frowned at the glance.

Suddenly, the reason why Su-hyuk frowned at his glance was because of a sudden message.

[Quest ‘Close’ was created.]

It was a quest creation message, and Hydra opened the quest window to confirm the quest name.

After noticing the closure's background investigation, the dark party reached out to the closure.

Meet Hanking and rescue Closer from the crisis!

Quest Reward:???

Watching the quest, Su-hyuk thought.

‘This is how it was. ’

I wondered how I should look behind Closer.

But now I understand.

Su-hyuk closed the quest window.

Then I looked at the books and quests in the bookshelf alternately and pondered.

We should go right away, right? ’

It's not the time.

However, when I saw the contents of the quest, I thought I should go to the closure and meet Hanking as soon as possible.

“To the subspace.”

[Warp to the subspace of the cannabis.]

After making the decision, Hydra warped right into the subspace.

He then warped back to the city of Beyond through the enchantment and headed to the closure's headquarters.

“ ……? ”

Arriving at HQ, Su-hyuk had no choice but to question him.

It was because his headquarters was empty, too.

What is it?

Is it too late?

However, I came as soon as the quest was created.

It can't be too late.

It was then.

Gain on bait

“The sacred shield. ”

The door opens and Su-hyuk turns around, reflectively casting a protective shield.

And Su-hyuk could see Hanking.

“…… Soo-hyuk! ”

[You have completed quest ‘Closure’.]

The quest was completed at the same time as Hanking's shout.

“What happened? ”

Su-hyuk asked Hanking.

“That is……. ”

The blurred hanking frowned and followed.

“A guild member has done something crazy. ”

“Crazy? ”

“Yes, I touched Marquis Beyond's silverbrush. I think we should hide for a while. ”

“ ……. ”

Su-hyuk couldn't say anything.

I thought you said "Dark Beast." ’

Quest created.

Ask me to get the closure from the Dark Horseman.

"Did you work in the Dark Chamber? ’

I thought about it, but I had enough possibilities.

Isn't this all designed by the Dark Chamber?

“Where is that Guild Member? ”

Su-hyuk asked Hanking.

I thought the guild member would know why he did such crazy things all of a sudden.

“…… is gone. Like a hunch.”

Hanking answered the question with malice.

Of course, I tried to find the guild member who did the work.

You have to hand over the recruits to avoid the worst.

But what happened disappeared like a hunch.

I mobilized all of Closser's intelligence, but I couldn't even find a small trace of whether it was turned off to the ground or raised to the sky.

"It was designed by the Dark Chamber. ’

Su-hyuk was convinced of Hanking's answer.

It was clear that he had designed it in the dark.

“There is something strange.... ”

Hanking opened his mouth.

“I'm moving as if I've been waiting for you at Marquis Beyond. ”

Su-hyuk focused on Hanking's words.

“as if you already knew what was going to happen. ”

“ ……? ”

And in Hanking's words, Su-hyuk was forced to doubt it.

Hanking's words now meant that Marquis Beyond was involved in this.

“Can't you meet me and share a story? ”

Hanking asked.

Then the quest appeared.
