Chapter 430 Battle for Dmitri (6)
Returning to the office, Henry Albert sat down with a complicated face.
“… It’s X.”
It was hopeless.
First of all, I was bluffing to avoid the situation in front of my eyes, but I knew myself that I couldn’t pretend to know Chris when I actually met him.
Chris then and now are different.
If Chris at that time was simply a promising follower of Roman Dmitri, isn’t he a prosecutor representing the Dmitri Empire now?
If the.
If he pretends to know him for nothing and Chris doesn’t recognize him, the tower he’s built with so much hard work will crumble.
‘Should I miss the day on the excuse of being sick?’
I shook my head.
If that happens, he may be able to overcome the crisis in front of him, but it is certain that Professor Bradley’s suspicions will skyrocket.
He is a person who doesn’t look suspicious even in front of himself.
Since he is a person with considerable influence in the Cairo Royal Academy, if his suspicions continue, he will one day face an unavoidable crisis.
“There is no way. There is no way.”
My head hurt.
In fact, he did not come to this position with a lie.
Everything that happened on the southern front was based on the truth and was only stimulatingly released from his own point of view.
Therefore, there was no reason to resign from the professorship even if the bottom line was revealed.
The problem is the way people look at you.
If it turns out that the professor they’ve been following is actually just a soldier, the students who have shown respect for them will feel a great sense of betrayal.
I hated that.
Henry Albert considered himself an illusionist.
He satisfies the desire by expressing the ideal fantasy that people want through writing and lectures, and thanks to that, he has risen to this position.
That is why the illusion could never be broken.
I thought that I had to solve this problem somehow, regardless of means and methods, because all the wealth and glory that I had created came from fantasy.
“Henry, calm down.”
I caught my breath.
There was no clear way.
However, the current Henry Albert did not accept giving up easily as he experienced the life of Roman Dmitri.
called the staff.
and ordered him
“3 days later. If Chris visits Kairos, bring him to me before you go up to the podium. If Chris asks why, if you say you want to discuss Lauren Demitri’s work as a professor, I’ll be sure to listen.”
Again, the method was simple.
abuse of power.
Henry Albert actively mobilized his weapons.
* * *
After 3 days.
It was as planned.
Seeing Chris come to his office, Henry Albert tried to hide his nervousness and said,
“It is an honor to meet Dmitri’s flash like this. The reason I asked Chris to meet was because of Lauren Dmitri’s career path. Lauren is currently improving her swordsmanship skills rapidly, so she will be advancing in the near future. The problem is after that. In the past, as in the precedent of Rodwell Dmitry, students who show off their skills beyond the academy were put into practice, but aren’t there any suitable positions now? I would like to know if you have any plans for the future.”
actually.
There were many topics of conversation.
Lauren Dmitri could have confided in his concerns privately, but Henry Albert thought it was not polite.
Human relationships are a bit different.
If he found out that the troubles he had spoken about believing in himself had flowed into someone else, Lauren Dmitry would surely fall into a deep sense of disappointment.
It was different from the past.
Although he behaved indifferently during his intense first meeting with Roman Dmitri, the current Henry Albert has the ability to grasp the situation.
Even speaking of Lauren Dmitri’s work that fits the purpose of meeting. I continued my conversation with Chris, bringing up a topic that would not cause problems later.
Chris said.
“well. I have nothing to say about Mister Loren’s future, as it is not my business. Thanks for talking about this though. As soon as we get back to Dmitri, let’s discuss Master Lauren’s business.”
“All right. If you need my help, please let me know.”
showed a smile
Lauren Dmitri’s story was just bait.
Having seated Chris and forming a suitable liking, Henry Albert subtly moved on to another subject.
“… By the way. I don’t know if you remember me, but I was there during the fighting on the southern front. At the Cairo Royal Academy, I am giving a lecture based on my work at that time. If I ask you about something related to this, would you be willing to join me? If you do that, the students will be more immersed in the content of the lectures and will be able to study the work on the southern front with certainty.”
It was a step-by-step request.
Tuning of lectures.
If you form a relationship naturally, it will be natural to introduce each other in front of Professor Bradley.
It was thoroughly calculated.
Chris smiled as Henry Albert secretly swallowed dry saliva.
“Henry Albert.”
“… yes?”
“You don’t have to go round and round. I know very well what Henry Albert wants me to do.”
Moment.
My heart sank.
What the hell does this mean?
As I watched with a nervous face, Chris added a word.
“The Dmitry Intelligence Department manages all information related to Dmitry. Not just those who were hostile to them, but also those who were talking about Dmitry. Henry Albert was on that list. It is true that they crossed the threshold of life and death together with us on the southern front, but even though they did not have a special relationship with each other, they benefited greatly from it. You don’t have to be nervous. If Henry Albert’s behavior had been judged to be a problem, Dmitri would have taken action right away.”
My eyes trembled.
It was complicated in my head as to how to react.
“From the judgment of Dmitry’s intelligence department, we have concluded that Mr. Henry Albert is helpful. So, you don’t have to set up a place like this to appease me. If we raise Dmitri’s status by appropriately using Dmitri’s reputation, there is no reason for Dmitri to stop Henry Albert.”
got up from the seat
finally.
“Whatever the course, it is clear that Henry Albert and Dmitri crossed the line between life and death on the southern front. I won’t deny that part, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Chris backed off.
Henry Albert was stunned for a while by his appearance as he left the office.
“… what is this?”
It was shocking.
Dmitri didn’t bother to put a straw in even though he was actually aware of his existence. I had goosebumps all over my body.
Dmitri’s Intelligence Department’s intelligence power made him admire Dmitri’s hidden intentions, but to his dismay, at this moment, Henry Albert felt a surge of happiness.
‘According to Chris, my actions are legal(?).’
Think about it.
1. Dmitry was aware of his existence.
2. Knowing but acquiescing.
3. Using in the right line is a win-win for each other.
4. Recognized as a fellow on the Southern Front.
blast furnace.
A miraculous circuit of happiness went on in Henry Albert’s head, who believed that his actions were legitimate, backed by Dmitri’s reputation.
As Chris said, Henry Albert was the kind of mosquito that sucked blood while praising Dmitri.
Such a being would do no harm to Dmitri.
I grinned.
Henry Albert, who was full of worries and cares on the crazy circuit of happiness, was no longer to be found.
* * *
That afternoon.
The lecture was successfully completed.
Chris gave a lot of advice to the students for the cultural exchange between Cairo and Dmitri, and he came down from the podium receiving enthusiastic cheers from the students.
And when he came out, the first person to greet him was Henry Albert, who held out his hand triumphantly.
“You have suffered a lot. Hearing about what we sweated blood and sweat together on the southern front once again from Chris feels really new. Weren’t we really amazing back then hahaha.”
behind him.
There were people, including Professor Bradley.
His intentions were obvious, but Chris swallowed a laugh and held hands.
“thank you. It was a special place for me to reflect on the past.”
“Is that so? Achacha these are the professors of the royal academy. No matter how much you ask me to introduce myself as a fan of Dmitri’s Flash Chris, I’ll introduce them in turn, starting from the right. First, Professor Bradley… … .”
It was a friendly place.
They exchanged good-byes and laughed and chatted, and as the conversation got longer, Henry Albert quickly cut it off.
“Then I hope you have a good time.”
The purpose has been achieved.
At first, Professor Bradley, who showed suspicion, shut his mouth with a disgruntled expression, and as soon as he parted with Chris, Henry Albert’s nose pierced the sky.
Today’s meeting dispelled all doubts at once.
Whatever the truth, Henry Albert knew how he was portrayed.
The remaining seats for professors.
said Henry Albert with a smirk.
“As I listened to Chris’s lecture, the past came to my mind. You guys won’t know. Southern Front. The fierce moment of the people who were present on the day Hector suddenly declared war. The moments when we went through the hurdles of life and death together with His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry are precious memories that should be passed down through the generations. Are you still in contact with Chris? Isn’t that obvious? We are comrades comrades! We’ve shed blood and sweat together, so what’s the point of contacting them?”
made a fuss
Thinking that he had received formal (?) permission from Dmitri, he showed a smile on his face and raised his presence.
This is Henry Albert, who rose to the position of professor with just a speck of dust.
have him
The conversation with Chris was literally winged.
Chris watched it from afar.
Chris smiled at the sight of him keeping his distance from him in case there was a problem.
“He’s a really great person in a different way.”
sure
Later in history, Henry Albert.
The existence that was nothing will surely be recorded as something great.
of course.
Even Chris had no idea how exactly it would be recorded.
* * *
Several days passed.
As Rodwell Dmitri left for Arcadia, the heat of the battle for Dmitri subsided, but Dmitri still had a busy time.
Roman Dmitry foretold a war against the Demon World.
Since perfect peace had not yet been achieved, Dmitri’s workshops continued to produce weapons, emitting hot heat.
Caang!
Kaang Kaang!
The sound of metal clashing could be heard from all directions.
Hendrick, the master of the forge, looked at the weapon made by the blacksmith under his command, and his expression twisted.
“This is not it!”
right after the war ended.
A new mission was assigned to the forge.
A weapon endowed with divine power.
It was an indispensable existence in order to fight the monsters of the demon realm, but it was not a problem that could be solved as easily as one might think.
The holy water used during production broke the balance.
The result itself was able to be made with divine power, but not only did the power drop, but I didn’t like the perfection itself as an iron weapon.
Hendrick.
As Master Blacksmith, it was unacceptable.
He urged the blacksmiths under him, and even though time passed like that, the situation did not improve that much.
It was the same on that day.
While the blacksmiths were heating up, there was a sudden uproar outside.
“His Majesty the Emperor!”
“Everyone come out and set your example!”
Roman Dmitry.
he appeared
At one time, he was called Dmitri’s jerk and was openly ignored, but there are no people in Dmitri who react the same now.
Both as a leader leading Dmitri and as a swordsmith. For Dmitry’s blacksmiths, he was an object of respect.
The people who had been working for a while lowered their heads with flushed faces, and Roman Dmitri raised his hand and ordered the work to continue.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Hendrick.
As he ran out after a month, Roman Dmitri looked at him and said,
“What is the current status of divine weapon production?”
“… There are no clear results yet. In fact, divine weapons are manufactured for the purpose of inflicting certain damage on monsters, but if the performance as an iron weapon itself is poor, there is a possibility that it will not be able to penetrate the outer shell of the monster. That’s why we invest as much manpower as possible to improve perfection.”
It was also what I heard in the report.
last few days.
Roman Dmitry focused on issues related to this.
new enemy.
new battlefield.
When faced with a new problem, Roman Dmitry always took the time to craft a new sword that would suit him.
It was the same this time too.
Right before the war with the Demon World, Roman Dmitri wanted to make a new sword.
In the meantime, making Kevin’s sword was a side issue.
“Prepare a workshop for me to work on.”
“… What does that mean?”
He responded with a questionable response.
Meantime.
Roman Dmitri worked in his private studio.
Because it was a space that was thoroughly blocked from the outside, no one could see how Roman Dmitri was working.
however.
It was different this time.
“I will forge weapons in front of everyone. If you can produce the results I want, you will be able to get a solution for how to make divine weapons in the future.”
Moment.
Hendrick’s heart skipped a beat.
Who is Roman Dmitry?
Before being the emperor of the Dmitri Empire, he was the best blacksmith on the continent before being the best swordsman on the continent.
To think that such an existence would make a sword in front of everyone.
Hendrick involuntarily shouted in a high-pitched voice.
“Okay! I’ll prepare the studio soon!”
