Three hundred eighteen.

"So, the next pillar..."

After one breath, Alma continues to talk about this all with her mission as well. It was thus spoken that this was also a team that traded black again.

But what we are dealing with is not the same as earlier. This team wasn't dealing with things, it was life.

"They don't stop poaching, they end up being the worst kidnappers and murderers."

They say it extends not only to rare animals, but also to holy beasts, spiritual beasts, and human beings.

I don't care about any sanctuary or anything, and I ignore the protective laws by the Three Kingdoms. People's children are grabbed, and resisting parents are said to be murdered unharmed.

Plus, these people don't seem to care about their lives, and if they sell them or decide they don't need them, they don't hesitate to dispose of them.

"Hmm...... It's not something that has the worst..."

Mira is distressed by the details of the damage Alma talks about. Babies of the Holy Beast disposed not to be sold because they were wounded during poaching or children forcibly separated from their parents. This team also continued to create tragedies.

"But, you know, there's only one good news."

Alma, who prefaced that, says, "That's when the team was hit hard by what they did," he says, somewhere benevolent.

"At that time...? Is something wrong?"

Well, when? Yes, Alma said to Mira leaning her neck. That was when I crushed the chimeric closen.

"This team was also connected to Chimera Clozen. To buy and sell spirits."

Alma forcefully said that that's why one of the cases led to a massive blow to the organization.

After crushing Chimera Clozen, the Fifty Bells Federation asked for information from those involved there and caught the people involved one after the other.

The first time that job is excellence itself. If we're going to catch someone who was in a pretty important position, that's enough to extract a lot of information from it and go deep all at once.

That is why teams that buy and sell lives have had to cut off many executives and important bases in order to protect the organizational body. As a result, it caused considerable damage while greatly weakening the team.

"Ho, did I? It was worth the effort."

Hearing the unexpected impact, Mira laughed at the creepy.

Moreover, due to the extinction of chimeric closens, in addition to the purchase and sale of spirits, the loss of the bases and executives that were doing them has also had a significant impact on the subsequent trafficking of holy beasts, spiritual beasts and human beings.

The damage caused by missing persons and illegal intruders into the no-go zone, as well as breaches of the sanctuary, is said to be visibly decreasing. Especially with regard to trafficking in human beings, it seems to be a decreasing range for which there may be other reasons.

It is Alma's expectation, therefore, that those who divide this team will now be placed in a predicament that is no greater than this, even in the organization.

"So, this is the third pillar, and it has something to do with what I'm asking you to do."

Alma, who said so in an attempt to change it, spoke of the details about the third pillar that made up 'Ila Muerte'.

That team was closely involved with the two things I mentioned earlier.

That's distribution. It is the job of this team to send weapons and instruments collected from all over the continent, as well as people to animals all over the continent. And the name Alma gave earlier, "Ruler of the Dark Road, Eugust Gradin," is the top executive that binds this team.

"Oh, this guy named Eugust, but he's a pretty bad guy"

Esmeralda briefly taught me about Eugust, one of the organizations that knows witches exist.

The meaning of the street name Dark Road Ruler, he says, is because he is the one who cows roughly half of the trade routes used for the distribution of darkness.

Back trade corridor for carrying black goods. He pioneered it around the continent and now the majority of the bad guys benefit from it. Therefore, if there were a big deal, all the information would gather beneath him.

So many people. There is no such thing as a dark merchant who deals in curses and prohibited items that cannot be seen on the surface, but was also involved in the distribution of such chimeric closens.

"So we haven't lost our work, either. I'm just saying, in fact, our army has succeeded in holding down almost all of the back routes controlled by this Eugust."

You wanted to brag about it for the rest of your life. Alma's face was filled with an invincible grin. However, the content of the rhetoric was outrageous, in contrast to the rhetoric that made me a little proud.

"... I said hello... is that true?

Unexpectedly, Alma's pride was enough to ask back. But I can't help it either. It held back the important distribution of "Ila Muerte", which reigns at the top of the backward society. And almost everything, is.

In other words, it is equally true that I turned down the 'Ila Muerte' lifeline. Because there's no point in gathering dark products if you can't make them look good.

How can I do such an outrageous thing? Mira was rather puzzled by the anomaly.

"Yeah, true. Now...... sure, you've crushed a deal of about 500 billion riffs. So here we are."

Alma, who also briefly affirmed this, finally began to tell the details of what a request the witch's escort would be with that mouth, which told him a hell of a forehead.

Whatever the witch's ability, he said, was the only reason he was held back from all the distribution of "Ila Muerte".

"It's called the ability to look ahead, but it's a little different, to be exact. Moreover, the range of capabilities is limited, unlike predicting earthquakes and major accidents. Well, what kind of ability is that?"

Alma says. That's something that can only be used against individuals, and that's why it's extremely powerful. And instead of looking to the future, it seems to be the precise effect of this ability to know what the person is doing, and what (...), (...), (...), (...), (...), (...).

"There is one condition for activation of that ability. Just touch the belongings the subject loves or things like hair and nails. And if you can get this once, you can use your abilities as many times as you want. I mean, Eugst can't do anything for the organization right now, and nothing is involved."

According to Alma's story, the Nirvana Empire has spent many years fighting 'Ila Muerte'. And a few months ago, with the dedication of many soldiers and interlocutors, we obtained information about a certain base. Successfully recover important clues when investigating there. That was Eugst's hair.

"The strength of this ability is that it never ends in one go. If you touch it, you'll have the information at that point. If I touched it now, I would know everything Eugust is doing and is planning. So as long as we have the witch and the hair, he can't even get close to what the organization does."

Having said that, Alma's eyes were more proud than confident. The power of the Nirvana Empire, and the power of many, struck him hard. I guess I'm sincerely proud of that.

"I see... Knowing everything about an organization's dealings doesn't make its ability an enemy."

Back trade route managed by Eugst. That's why all the 'Ila Muerte' deals that used it were slipped through by witches.

In addition, even the dealings of the other villains who used this were held up by Nirvana, and their reliability was drastically reduced. The more measures we take, the more it leads to exposure to the Nirvana side.

The witch's ability to completely seal off an important pillar of the organization. The impact of that result is no longer measurable.

Knowing more or less the situation from the content of the story, Mira is also convinced that it would be resentful. And I was adept at whether the assassin was sent in as a natural consequence.

"By the way, I thought so. Earlier, I told you it wasn't just some of the upper management who knew about the witch, and Eugust and them."

I know the general situation. But when Mira realized the puzzle, she said, "How did you know he was the only one who knew?," he continued.

From what I saw, the assassins I was exploring didn't even grasp if they existed, as opposed to witch clues. So by now, the information blockade will be perfect.

But Alma affirmed earlier that only Eugust knew.

From what I've heard, there's no element for the other person to notice the witch's abilities. You wouldn't even be able to predict if you didn't know the existence of that ability, such as using hair that fell somewhere. But they're sending in assassins.

Mira was wondering where she got the information and how she got noticed.

"It's a side effect of this ability or something... it's just a powerful effect and there are disadvantages to it"

That's how Alma answered Mira's question, dampening her mouth with tea before starting to talk about the pros and cons.

The witch's ability to hold. It's a powerful thing to read the subject's thoughts and get a detailed idea of what he's doing and what he's trying to do.

But because they go so deep into the thought, they also tell the other person who sees, reads, and monitors with what intent.

"That's right. I tried that before, and it was kind of, like, really weird."

Apparently, Esmeralda has been experimentally subjected to witch abilities. According to that experience, it was slightly uncomfortable at the beginning. But by repeating it over and over again, you can clearly recognize the existence of a witch.

Currently, the witch seems to be exercising more than a hundred abilities against Eugst. If so, there is no mistake in considering that the other person also feels it is appropriate.

If so, it was natural to try to get rid of witches.

"I see... In other words, we could have assumed that witches and witches would be targeted. Then why bother asking me to escort you? Given the circumstances, do you already have an escort?

If you use your abilities, you'll be distracted over there. Still, at the risk that the witch's presence would be remembered by her opponent, Alma chose a way to seal off the trade corridor behind 'Ila Muerte'.

Even though we limit information and keep the witch from knowing where she is, there are times when we have to. Mira knew that it was natural to escort her out of the circumstances and that Alma couldn't possibly do anything about it. That's why I doubt it.

"Uh, the... I'm here..."

Mira asked, and suddenly Alma's toothpick went bad.

To be there. From the words, it still seems that the witch was followed by an escort from the beginning. And in the light of the circumstances, it is likely that a considerable strength will be someone of the Twelve Apostles.

If so, that's what Mira doesn't show up for. However, as the phrase "to be there" suggests, we are definitely halfway there.

"What do you mean? Can't you be clear?"

Mira urges you to give a good reason. Alma, by contrast, just swallows words to try to say something in a restless way.

What the hell is that?

Yes, where Mira swelled, Esmeralda exhaled one, loud sigh.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I told her with my face that I just had no choice but to say it again and it seemed spicy, but still, I told her how I was supposed to ask Mira for an escort, even though there was already an escort.

"Now, Noyne, you're on the escort."

A circumstantial explanation that started with those words. And Mira deepens her doubts when she hears the name.

"What, there's not enough escort?"

One of the Twelve Apostles, "The Noin of White Prison". He is the same saint as Solomon, but unlike Solomon, who goes the wrong way, he was the saint who goes the king's way.

He is the best at defending himself, and with all his strength, even Eisenfald's dragon braces can be prevented.

The Dumblrf vs. Noyne game that once took place was a draw that could not be settled for long. Dumbleffe could not be attacked because the blow of the Tiger's Eisenfald could not pass and could only be stopped by the army. The Noine side, by contrast, is also perfected by an army that won't allow a single step forward, no matter how much it takes to defeat it.

Hence, if it was not revealed, it was settled in the draw.

And because of that, Noyne has the strength to defend himself against how powerful an attack would be, no matter how many. As a witch's escort, he spoke of a perfect candidate.

"I don't think there's any chance I'm here."

But what does it mean to be asked to escort a witch? What the hell is the problem? Mira, who realizes that she can't reach herself in terms of escorts, stares at Esmeralda all the time for harassment or something.

"Uh... yeah, but it's gone."

Esmeralda, wandering her gently misguided gaze. But you made up your mind that you couldn't convince Mira as it was, one big exhale, and you mouthed it.

"Actually, that girl... the witch girl, she got a male phobia. So instead of being in the same room as you, Noin, just being nearby makes me emotionally unstable... You're watching me in front of a remote door now, aren't you? But then, hey."

Esmeralda's expression looked like she was in deep trouble. Certainly in such a state, even a boulder noise would not be able to harness half its abilities in times of need.

However, when Mira hears that, she reluctantly looks at the newly popping questions again.

From the way I put it, I didn't think it was male phobia or anything at the beginning. But how did that happen?

It's also possible that Noyne made something of himself. What a feminine personality. But that's why he never hates women.

In addition, its appearance is The Holy Knight. Even if a witch falls in love, it can never cause male phobia.

"Hmm... of male phobia... why did this happen again?

From the middle of nowhere, Mira asked directly. The more you can't even escort them, the better. What is the cause of this? I'm just curious.

However, Esmeralda's reaction is not aromatic. As far as Alma was concerned, he was completely turned that way.

Has something terrible happened so far? Mira, who guessed so, tried to tell her that if she didn't want to, she didn't have to. But just before that, Esmeralda starts talking like she decided to.

"As a matter of fact, Eugst..."

What was spoken of as pompous was like donning even in Mira.

The actions taken by Eugust, who realized by the witch's abilities that he was discerning the status quo and all his plans. Esmeralda told him blushing. It was an on-parade of things that children couldn't see.

Yes, he started playing perverted games with women to see and show off.

Esmeralda says, the witch is only fourteen. If a girl at such a time of multitude were to be shown to be a dirty pervert of an adult even this, then again, she would fall into masculine phobia.

But if you stop monitoring Eugust, it's the pot that you think is over there. Because without witch surveillance, he'll be able to start his job again in full swing.

However, they still thought about the witch and had to reduce the number of times. As a result, plans for large, time-consuming deals could be watched, but the smaller ones became more difficult.

"What a pervert..."

The countermeasures Yugusto took when he found out that the witch was a girl. Though ridiculous, they still continue to do so because of its considerable effect. Is that just a measure, or was it because of that sexual preference for him? I can't tell that far, but Mira shrugged with a shuddering face.
