Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 80 Counter Signal Shot (3)

The Elf Lord, the High Elf Lord in charge of the Elf delegation, has suffered a shock since Nias lost his life.

Redbeer, the Dwarf king of the same faction, visited with limited access to the World Water Palace and under investigation.

“You've had a long journey. I don't have enough people to welcome me... We appreciate your patience."

“I'm not even here for a joyful visit, but this should be enough for a welcome party. ”

The one who met him was Eloa, who was confirmed to be the next High Elf Road. She was with a number of attendants.

After the assassination of Nias, the security of Elloa, who will be in charge of the Elf delegation, has been enhanced to the highest level.

“I asked for a dwarf maestro, but I didn't expect you to come. ”

“This is a disaster in the faction, but of course I have to come here myself. ”

Redbeer was a blacksmith, but also an outstanding mathematician. I followed him because I thought it would help with the investigation.

Elves and Dwarves were in the same faction in the Tribe, and they had a good relationship because they had a lot of interactions for each other's benefit.

It was important to create a trustworthy faction in an alliance with hidden swords pointed at each other.

“Thank you."

Eloa bows slightly. One of the attendants sent Redbears and Dwarf astrologers to his quarters. The investigation started the following day.

For a week, the World Water Palace was thoroughly inspected by an investigator comprised of Dwarf lords and Elven superior archaeologists and wizards.

And within a week, Redbears visited Eloa's office alone.

“The investigation is over. I'm working on a formal report now……. I came here first because you seem curious. ”

“Who's behind this? ”

“I couldn't figure it out. ”

“Haven't you figured out that the investigation is over? ”

“The opposite in this case……. We had no choice but to stop the investigation because we couldn't find out who was behind it. ”

Redbeer said he was uncomfortable with the results of the investigation.

“There was no definite proof, but behind it was not the Royal Alliance or the Empire, but within the Tribal Alliance……. I think there's a good chance that it's also one of the Vampire Factions. ”

“Do you have any idea why? ”

Eloa carefully asks the question. It was never a small matter to suspect the members of the same faction, even though it was another faction.

“First of all, the guards must be familiar with the structure of the World Water Palace, given the sudden attack on them. The Elves couldn't have done that, so I suspect a vampire was visiting recently. And I understand that Nias has been investigating vampire life lately. ”

“You've been ‘removed’. ”

“Doubt is the whole point. ”

Although Redbeer said it was a phase of doubt, Eloa had already concluded that it was a "yes."

“Are you thinking of moving on? ”

Zeros asked. Seongjun was checking the scrolls and items in front of the dimensional gate installed in the workshop.

“Now that the international treaty is resolved and the armies of nations are heavily armed as hunters, we need to collect the Crystal of Riodin. ”

“That's a great idea. Once you have sufficient number of Riodin Crystals, you can create a permanent dimensional Gateway with military units of transmission. ”

It was a confident voice. Seong-jun nodded with a satisfied expression and turned to the dimensional gate.

“I'll be back. If you need anything, you can consult Jung or Han-Seok. ”

They could be trusted. Zeros believed that if he had concerns or problems with experiments and research, he would be able to solve them well.

“Very well. Have a safe trip. ”

Zeros said, with a faint smile on his face, he walked into the dimensional gateway.

A white flash struck him. When the whitened vision returned to normal, it was no longer in Zeros' secret magic workshop, but in a strange forest.

- You're in the woods again.

Lischevald says, "Sung-jun nods and opens his mouth."

“I wish I had a way to get around.... ”

I looked around, but there was nothing to ride. He sighs for a short time and urges his feet north. Fortunately, shortly after, I discovered the city.

- A little closer, but it looks like the heart of Terencia.

“I don't think this is a good place to start. ”

- I think so. The central city of Terencia must have been fortified because it was attacked last time.

Seong-jun frowned. I knew the boundaries were strengthened, but I had no choice but to visit the central city of Terencia in front of me.

Fortunately, his counterfeit identity was of the highest grade.

“I hope there's no trouble. ”

With soliloquy, Seong-jun took a step toward the checkpoint. How long ago was the city attacked?

There was a much larger number of troops stationed at the checkpoint in front of the gate. There were five knights and 30 heavily armed soldiers waiting in line.

- Terrencia. It seems the lord has requested assistance at a nearby local garrison.

Lischevald said that the local military garrison was often located around the city. At the same time, they will receive orders from the Lord or Regional Army commander to assist the city.

In the case of the central city of Terencia, it seems that an emergency has been dispatched to the military because they were recently attacked.

“May I see your ID card? ”

It's been about 30 minutes since I started waiting. As it's your turn, the man who looks like a guard approaches and asks. Seong-jun took out the fake ID card and handed it to him.

“No problem. You can pass. ”

The soldier confirms that the identity card is the highest grade, shouting with a nervous expression. Thanks to this, Seong-jun was able to enter the main city of Terencia.

- Wouldn't it be better to use the Warp Gate in the Plaza to travel to another city?

“The Warp Gate must be under control, but we can also get information.... Not a bad choice. ”

- Yes, you can get a lot of information just by checking the bulletin board in the square.

One of the places adventurers get information was in the square. The rest were inns and guilds.

- Bulletin board.

Rishwald points to you with his fingertips, terrified to enter the square. Seong-jun turned his head.

There you see several bulletin boards. There are people who appear to be mercenaries in front of him. Seong-jun quickly looked around and dug among the mercenaries. Then I noticed the words on the bulletin board.

[Empire is surrounding the Rebel Red Forest Node!]

[Recruiting honorable mercenaries alongside the Empire army!]

[The resistance of the ‘Red Forest’ is getting worse. Preferred when joining the mercenaries.]

Most of the posts covered one topic: Rebels in the Red Forest.

“I heard the Red Forest Rebel Node is large, but you were surrounded by the Yonkee Empire? ”

“I guess I didn't think I could just leave it alone because the city of central Terencia was attacked, too. I heard the 13th Circuit sent reinforcements to the Sword. ”

“One swordsman in the Rebellion won't be easy. ”

Just in time, a few mercenaries were talking about the Red Forest Rebels.

Seong-jun operated his magic and raised his hearing while keeping a reasonable distance from them.

I listened for about 5 minutes, but I was able to get some information. Seong-jun got away from the crowd while organizing his thoughts. He enters an alleyway near the square.

- What do you want to do?

Lischevald asked. Seong-jun opened his mouth calmly.

“We should help the Red Forest Node. ”

I didn't have to worry.

- Excellent choice. If you help the Liberation Army's nodes and make contact with them to establish a friendly relationship, you will be able to provide reliable, high-quality information. And it's unlikely, but they may know where the Riodin Crystal is, or they may have it.

Lischevald's voice seems a little excited. He thought he could help the Liberation Army and meet some of his former comrades.

And it was the same with Seongjun. I couldn't say that I was Rowkel, and even if I did, no one would believe me, but I thought it would be nice if I could see my face in a long time.

- You'd better get moving. We don't have much time to watch the siege unfold.

Lischevald said, "Sung-jun nodded instead of answering." Then he rushed to the stable. The ‘Red Forest’ was closest to the heart of Terencia. I didn't have to go through another city.

After arriving at the stable, he buys a sturdy horse and leaves the main city of Terencia and heads north to the ‘Red Forest’.

It is said to be close to the main city of Terencia, but after riding a horse for quite a while, it was only late at night that I arrived at the border. Beyond the hill is a temporary Imperial garrison.

- What do you want to do?

“I'm going for a walk from now on. I'm going over the siege in stealth mode. ”

- Wouldn't it be better to disguise yourself as a mercenary? Then you can easily get to the Liberation Army Node with the Imperium.

It was reasonable and convenient, but there was one fatal risk. Seong-jun shook his head and opened his mouth.

“There's no record of using your ID card. ”

He got off the horse. and sent it back where it came from. Seong-jun only moved after confirming that the horse disappeared from view.

“Hidden.”

Seong-jun's body melted into the darkness. He rushes forward, killing his wits.

Imperial soldiers guarding the border of the Red Forest did not notice Seong-jun's invasion. So was the Wizard of the Watchtower.

The border into the red forest was forming a long siege, but the deeper you went into the forest, the more frequent you saw patrolling knights and soldiers.

- All patrolling troops' flags are different. There must have been at least five Empire Forces mobilized.

“Since there are 10,000 Empire Army devils, is there at least 50,000...? No, the Red Forest is vast, so it's probably more mobilized. ”

Seong-jun said that as he penetrated deeply, he was off the grid in order to save his magic.

Since the red forest was wide, it was a bit burdensome to explore while hiding.

- The infantry squad has also found an army with attack flags. I think I can follow you to the Node.

It was a report from Lischevalt, who had been scouting for a while. Seong-jun lifted his mouth.

It's finally time! ’
