I took a step back, startled.

Huff.

The cold stone wall touched my back, how many steps I took.

Teacher?

I couldn't say anything about the title.

Did you get your memory back?

I did not have a decision on how to react.

The user stops and looks at the target's face.

“That's what I thought. ”

Lena looks convinced of the subtle change in her face.

Then I realize it later.

It's a test.

She doesn't even try to hide it.

“Us. We must have met. ”

I read all of the moments when I stopped without even knowing him, called the teacher.

“You remember this place, don't you? You don't wander off from anywhere else, you come right away and you give me a pendant. ”

Lena sighs.

I can feel the warm blood.

Her sharp edges seem to be hidden somewhere.

“You thought you were under a spell. ”

“Wrong. If you'd cast a spell on me with these feelings,

Lena shakes her head slightly with a red face.

“You should try to use it actively.

But you're not asking for anything. Dreams. They must be real.? ”

I was silent.

What's Lena thinking?

The past has changed.

An old memory expressed in the form of a dream.

There's no place in her life to go.

Obviously, I don't think I'm guessing regression.

I opened her status window instead of answering straight away.

If there's any information you can get.

You'd better get some more.

[Scenario already completed.]

[??? Reflected]

[Name: Lena]

[Favor: 31]

Changed.

I was reminded of the first encounter of this life.

Lena's appeal was clearly fixed at 20.

This life, of course, was my first encounter with her, but I started with a fairly high liking of 20.

From Lena's point of view, the unknown guy keeps getting weirder and weirder.

But the situation got worse.

I never even received a separate message that I was up, but it shows a higher preference for 31.

Of course, the stats are the same as the stats that increased so much.

An easy guess comes to mind.

The more you contact me, the more fondness you have, the clearer your memory will be.

In that case.

At some point.

The time has come for you to be unable to Balem.

It'll be the same old relationship.

Is that what I want?

Not at all likely.

I don't want to interfere in Lena's well-lived life.

“I've come to listen to work stories.

I thought you said you had big plans for getting Lurium all at once. ”

I turned the horse.

I cut it out deliberately.

In 'this life’ I did nothing for Lena.

I don't intend to take advantage of her changed past.

“Ha.”

A long sigh of warmth vanished into thin air.

Lena puts her head down for a moment and finally nods.

“Fine. If you want it, I'll match it to you. ”

Her gaze tangled with mine.

“That won't stop me from finding out about you. ”

How much more do you want to find out?

Somewhere in this stone chamber, there may be a secret tablet detailing my comrades.

Somehow my body feels stiff.

“I want to know about the looting plan. ”

It's not just a diversion.

I really want to know.

I am quite curious about the plan even Isaac, which has been set up by T&T.

How the hell are they gonna break in?

The vile traitor ^!, who was found dead by Marquis Leandro.

Isaac said the sky, the earth, and the basement are all blocked.

When Lena told me about her plan, she looked cautious.

“Well, I have to make a vow here to tell you that.

Glug.

Lena pulls out a thin piece of leather paper from the drawer.

The paper that shines under the lamp lights

Nothing is written.

Smooth blank paper.

“Will you write about it later? ”

“Oh, no matter how much I live in the grave, I won't do that. ”

Lena takes out the glass bottle from her arms.

The lid was opened, tilted, and a dark green spill came down.

Hrrrrrrr!

Leather paper caught on fire.

And the offering of thin sheets of paper.

It burns like screams.

However, the wide stone chamber was so fierce that the fire could not even scorch the crunchy paper.

Instead, there was nothing written on it.

The letters slowly appeared on the blank paper.

[Comply with the following:]

[??? Open or leak.]

[About.]

[2.. On.]

A paper with hidden letters that must be poured into a special liquid.

I've heard stories.

Paper, ink, and liquid must all fit together.

Lena pulls another piece of blank paper out of the drawer.

It lit up in the same way and the letters came to mind.

The content is the same.

But underneath that, Lena's handwriting < vows. > It was different.

The content was simple.

Content that does not leak plans.

“What happens if you leak? ”

Lena shakes her head.

“You're not supposed to leak anything.

Participants' own souls are rationed, a strong pledge binding on each other in total. ”

“Even tortured makes it impossible to talk. ”

“You mean you can't resist? ”

“The more constraints there are, the stronger the spell. ”

Lena speaks.

“The taboo < does not inform about this plan. > There's only one. Specific.

You get a strong brainwashing, and if you talk forcefully, your life is cut off. ”

Thank goodness.

The constraint of being cut off after death.

But in this life, it's a little awkward not to tell Rubiana or Isaac about the plan.

“What if I don't make a vow? ”

“I'm afraid I'll have to recruit another participant for your role. Even though you're the best. ”

I'm the best.

I'm even more curious about the role.

Anyway, the situation is clear.

Lena can't even tell me her plans unless she makes a vow.

It's not a good choice to go back empty-handed.

A source of imperial power.

If I move it, the material changes its position in a strange way.

It's the liquid you said you needed for your "former job."

It doesn't make sense to redeem here when we're in the capital.

I picked up a pen.

As soon as I wrote down that I had made a vow on parchment, I felt like I was firmly positioned somewhere in my mind where there was a strange binding force.

“Where did you get these scrolls? ”

“My great-grandfather went on adventures and collected them one by one in the same ruins. I used to love this stuff, but it was a big operation, so I put out a bunch of stuff. ”

Ruins.

Did you rob the ruins of Cabin Ashton like I was there?

I want to ask you where you're going with all this nonsense.

“Is Nannau also participating? ”

Lena nods.

“As a whole coordinator. If there's a hole, that's where Nannau will fill it. Of course, if you do well, you have nothing to do. ”

I know the power of Nannau.

T&T's strongest power is backed up

It is prepared.

Just looking at the paper prepared as a pledge, I feel how important it is to T&T.

“It also plays a role in tuning the looted rutium. ”

“Coordinate?”

“Not all participants want Lurium itself. Some want gold, some want gold. ”

“How many contestants? ”

“Ten, including you. You're not planning on getting introduced one by one, are you? ”

“Yes."

It's a relief not to tell.

Even if I am a participant, my information is just as easy to reveal.

“Thank you for understanding. Well, first things first., Lena ‘pulled’ the stone corner with a quirky looking key.

Kugu.!

The slate sits to the right of the table, lifting slightly upward and moving slowly.

“Come down.”

Lena tucks her legs into the hole first.

I felt like I had stepped down a ladder.

“You'd better explain where to conduct your own operations, wouldn't you? Dictionary exploration.”

Huff.

I grabbed the ladder naturally and followed Lena down.

It's a familiar place.

Even when he enters the capital.

This passageway was also used on the way out.

I've traveled a long distance myself just hearing Nannau's explanation.

Maybe it's because of that attitude.

“I'm familiar with it. You know the place. ”

“I don't know.”

Lena looks at me and asks again.

“Did you know this place was linked to the imperial scourge? ”

Dallac!

I stopped walking in awe.

“What are you talking about?! ”

This passageway is connected to the Imperial Court?

“Huh? You didn't know that? ”

First, Lena, who came down to the floor, looked up at me and asked.

I slowly moved back down.

I can't hide it anyway.

You don't have to hold back.

“Really?"

“Haha. Interesting. It's good to see you so well. He's my type. ”

Favorite type?

When I thought it was a joke.

Lena walks to one side.

And without hesitation,

I pressed down with my knife.

Glug glug!

A large board with two maps pops up and down the wall.

Above is the normal capital evangelism.

Underground Secrets at a Glance

A map marked with a passageway.

I've seen both the first and the second.

But the second map is definitely different from before.

I have a strange feeling about it.

It was not long before I could discern a clear difference.

Is it wider? ’

Before you leave the capital.

Trophin Nannau showed me the map and explained in great detail how to get out.

< The passageway you're going through here.

I remember it well.

But in the secret map that Lena is showing, there are new passages that Nanau did not show.

“Where am I? ”

I pointed to the newly painted part by hand and said:

Lena's face reminds me of her admiration.

“That's a good point. That's where the op started. It's a newly discovered area. ”

Newly discovered area.

Do you think leaving Lurium with Lena might have influenced the pioneering of a new secret passageway?

Or maybe the scenario was changed by clearing.

Anyway, it's clear that I had an impact on this new situation.

The Lurium heist plan.

Responsibility hangs on my neck.

The past I changed.

I think I need to succeed in my new plan.

The bar pointing to the map moves.

“This passageway, it's all over the capital.

But it was a terrible maze, so it took him a long time to find a new piece. ”

I looked at the part where Trophin Nannau found a new one.

“Looks like it's still a bit far. ”

The red circle does not overlap with the area of the imperial palace with large circles.

“It's okay.”

“It's okay." ”

Lena nods.

He pointed to the new discovery by hand.

“The Imperial Court will pass here with Lurium to prepare for war. ”

Prepare for war, Lurium.

“What do you two care? ”

Isaac told me that Lurium was the source of the imperial power.

But he didn't tell me exactly why.

Lurium is basically the power source of the machine. The first reason you can guess is one.

to take away the Iron of the Liberty Coalition and use it to move them around.

Lena shakes her head at my guess.

“But now I think they're trying to use it differently. I think he's addicting knights and soldiers to Lurium. ”

That was an unexpected answer.

“That's it. Is that the same liquid you use? ”

“You said it was possible.

She used Lurium as a form of blood, but Amber's using it as a power source for the machine, right? ”

Thinking about it, they're completely different.

“There's nothing that can't be developed in the form of drugs that give it explosive power. It can be anything.

Lurium can be anything.

I've never come across this information before in my life.

However, the assumption is that the nature of this liquid depends on my previous life.

It's supposed to be that kind of material.

If you can ‘infuse' a normal human being with a high effect.

The imperial court's confidence in invading a highly skilled alliance is understandable.

“Anyway, it's not a one-time shipment.

The wagons go this way, and when there's no transport, search parties are looking for another way. ”

I was nervous by her tone.

I quickly realized what I was worried about.

“Don't the imperial court know that you use this passageway? ”

“Not yet. But they're likely to invade our territory soon. ”

Imperial occupation of the secret route of T&T. is not just an act of reluctance.

It is clear, even if you do not have to deal with which side of the force will prevail.

“I'm not just trying to steal Lurium. We have a new discovery. We need to take this whole area down. Bury them in the dark. ”
