I'd like to move and find out myself, but I can't do it with my current strength.

It's best to keep your strength close to her quietly.

“The world has changed as you said, but there may be traces. Write down everything you want to know. ”

It was thoughtful.

I had no reason to refuse.

Start with the Erast situation, the nursing home near Rubia, Lena, and Eublam.

I wrote down everything about Isaac and the Tropical Brigades.

And information about a man named Trophin Lazlo.

Let's see if we can find anything that might be a clue.

I wanted to check the location of the ambush in person, but it wouldn't be easy given the location of the ambush to the guards.

“Good. I'll see what I can find out from Daliac. ”

Daliak?

High Intelligence and the makeshift peace zone of assassins.

Is it still there?

“You mean Daliac? ”

“That's right. I manage the place in Red Flake. ”

Red flake.

“In that case... I wonder... ”

Something came to mind.

The man behind the curtain who has yet to reveal his true identity.

“Are information auctioneers a member of the Red Flake? ”

“... Hehe. ”

Gizgerai laughed low, looking at me funny.

“I don't know.”

I could see from her tone that her guess wasn't wrong.

‘So it was. ’

Red Flake.

This is an assassination cult wrapped in veils, but I know of three of them except for the Necromancer in front of me.

Werewolf Lumen Valdorf.

Elwin Esau on a Scarab.

The man behind the auction house who doesn't know his name.

I kept asking questions.

“The auction was cut off at once when I asked for Kevin Ashton's information. Is the relationship between Red Flake and Kevin Ashton……. ”

“That's more like it. ”

The necromancer hangs up.

“Close... to Zija? We have enough……. ”

The horse stopped.

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks I'm close.

Regression.

Maybe every time you use essence absorption, you get a little chummy with Gizgerai.

It was a feeling, but it was just a one-sided feeling.

I'm just a strange Skeleton Soldier I've never seen before in Gizgerai's view.

After a short pause, she giggles.

“Not me. I'm just a guest of Red Flake. The Red Flake has always had seven members, and I'm not a part of it. ”

“Besides, it doesn't necessarily share the information that a member has. I mean, get close to Daliac's auction house. ”

“I see.”

But how do we get along?

I recall Kevin Ashton's books in my inventory.

‘Can I get you that? ’

I have to confess, as I told Isaac, I can see the status window.

Maybe he's saying too much.

I don't even know what he is.

“Number three. ”

The cold voice of Gizgerai stops the distraction.

“We need to investigate the assassination clients.

I'll check the Hero's Cemetery for dead bodies myself. If they really deceived me.... ”

Kugu Palace!

The red air rushes into the cave.

“For what it's worth. ”

“Why, is there something you're not comfortable with? ”

“No…. ”

In fact, if I told you not to get too excited, you'd never get a good response.

I quickly turned my back.

“But where are you going now? ”

We don't know when the guards will arrive.

The answer is to move fast.

“Of course I'm going to Ember. We'll take a closer look at the situation there. The entire Red Flake may be required to take part in this retaliation. ”

Half is the expected answer.

The neutral city of Embermere.

Will you finally be there? ’

I remembered a conversation with Rubia.

< Previous Company ’

I remembered a conversation with Rubia.

< I actually wanted to go to Ember. If you buy some armor, why don't you go there with me?

‘I wish you'd come with me. ’

But I couldn't even try.

< Skeletons don't have a country, so it might be a good fit.

I went alone.

As a member of the Demon Prince.

It was after the destruction ^, actually there

I have no idea what city it is. The city of anarchists.

Thousands of municipalities. And give Rubia her own personal order.

I wanted to make it for you.

‘After all, you can't do it. You're going first. ’

I remember the cheerful smile of the commander who woke me from the tomb, and I consciously thought of Gizgerai standing in front of me and asked him a question.

“How will you get to Ember? How did you get here with all your troops in the first place? ”

I was really curious.

No one can ever see an army this size move.

In my question, the Necromancer looks relaxed.

“I commissioned a transport to the League of Merchants. I want you to pile up the bones and send them here. ”

I wondered.

“The League of Merchants... even the Undead? ”

But when I spit it out, it's funny.

Those merchants even made a deal with me.

The necromancer nods.

“Well, how can you say no to me when Red Flake is a key customer? This assassination was in their favor. ”

Emperor assassination.

If we're going to do something like this together, of course, it's going to be sticky.

You're not much of a trader yourself.

“… and you're going to go all the way to Ember? With all your troops on the cart? ”

‘Will you call the League of Merchants? ’

This time, a member of the new Merchant Alliance

Maybe you'll meet him.

But Gizgerai shakes his head decisively.

“No.”

“No?”

“This assassination, the Quest Intermediary, is the League of Merchants. The relationship between the commissioned Liberty Council chief and the merchants is very close. ”

Red Flake of the Assassination Bridge.

Gold Dealers.

Congress of the Free Federation.

Merchants are leaning on either side.

Is there.

It seemed much closer to the Allied Parliament than just the Assassins, if you think about it.

“The imperial enemies of Congress commissioned the assassination of the Emperor through their merchants. In your position to refuse the assassination and kill the client.... ”

“It's awkward.”

It's hard to get help.

“That could leak information. ”

Just by withdrawing the assassination, we can draw lots of analogies.

She nods.

“That's right. Not all merchants in the Iron Bed think they're neutral. Even if there's one or two guys sticking together with the head of Parliament, it's not weird at all. ”

A League of Merchants that seems to value morality.

‘It's not just those I think I saw. ’

Yube. Blackberry. Nexmond.

They just don't know how to react to these sensitive problems.

Next to me, Gizgerai was thinking about something in his pocket.

I took it out.

At that moment, the cave lit up.

Chadduk Chad...!

A small brass beetle flies through the cave in a flash of light.

“This……! ”

“You're familiar with it? If you saw a fox, you'd know this. ”

Gizgerai wrote an instant letter. Then he opened the belly of the beetle, put the letter in, and blew it up again.

Chadduck! Chadduck!

The little scarab flies into the air with a thin blade overlapping sound. The shimmering golden light grows further and further away.

“Did you contact the starlight fox? ”

The story with the fox was already told.

The infamous Sister Elwin Esau.

“Yes. Even during the sabbatical, I heard you were in the neighborhood. How touching. Okay, I'll call you right back. ”

‘You have a means of contact. ’

The two women were most likely in fact intimate relationships.

So a starlight fox would have been waiting for you.

I remembered the starry blue fox staring at the trace of Gizgerai engraved on my body.

When the beetle is out of sight, the Necromancer speaks.

“There will be no Imperial Assassination this time, so there won't be a Marquis of War child, will there? ”

“Of course.”

I will.

The assassination attempt itself will be noisy.

Isabelle is perfectly unharmed.

If nothing happens to Isabelle, the Grand Master of the Guards, the Grand Duke of Leandro remains motionless.

Whether he dies or not.

“Here, Gillaud, Owen, Hamelin, Andrei, Penlor. Lead your troops into the pits. ”

Pot!

The air is lit up with the Necromancer's gestures.

“Respect.”

Five Durahan are scattered throughout the dark caves.

Gizgerai looked at me.

“You follow me. ”

Dallac!

An invisible force grabs me and sticks me next to her.

“Now, how are you going to get to Amberle? ”

“How do I get there? We have to walk.”

“Walk... away? ”

“Yes. I'm going to the Forgotten Path. A thousand years ago.

Used and now forgotten.... ”She treads slowly through the cave.

It was with me that created this conclusion that I could see the situation around me.

Barracks separating zones from zones.

The nightshade on the ceiling.

Candles suspended in the air.

‘It's a dry underground cemetery...' ’It was clear.

It was the space that Lena came with.

Only that it was taken seriously by Gizgerai.

The internal structure is the same.

Immediately reached the depths.

The giant hall was supported by stone columns only a few meters in diameter, and the ceiling had dozens of rusted steel cages hanging from it.

Hundreds of skeleton troops are lined up waiting for their master's orders.

The end of the cave.

It was magnificent.

And the Necromancer stood still.

I asked for the necromancer.

“Isn't this a dead end? Where are you going now……. ”

“Cute……. ”

The necromancer chuckles.

Sphere...!

A stream of red magic emanates from the tip of Gizgerai's body.

The air flow of magic as red as when you fought the Gray Knight began to draw huge circles in the air.

Gooooo

The circles made of red magical power start to sink deeper and deeper, circulating into different trajectories.

The strange circles, which were bitten to the ground, engraved a fine strand into the air.

The circle of moving magic changed from two dimensions to three dimensional spheres, and added one dimension of time while moving around in a circle.

Kuku... Kuku

Maybe time was sucked red into the crimson.

“Foreign language I don't understand"

Puang!

An incomprehensible voice erupts into the air.

At the same time, the sphere of precision created by the Necromancer explodes.

Not only power, but beauty.

In your arms, a sphere of great magical power.

I even felt empty as it exploded.

It was then.

Kugu gu...!

The center of the massive hall with a red sphere is slowly descending.

Kuku... Kuku...

How much bigger is the whole hull?

It's not that wide, but the sound of the stone moving has been echoing for a while.

Boom.

When the sound stopped, Gizgerai held my hand tightly. And he approached the new pit.

I couldn't even feel how deep it was looking down.

I couldn't see anything because it was just black and black.

“What the… place…? ”
