Episode 459 Military Gathering (2)
We know that troops will gather at the border.
It was because King Celia had given permission and Knight Commander Ronel had become Commander.
However, the troops Rossell was talking about now would not be Silia’s only troops.
Black Army.
The root cause and origin of the Small Kingdom Alliance, which has now entered the strongest ranks.
Although most of the kingdoms still underestimate the power of the Black Room and neglect their vigilance, it was not Ray.
If he had the ability to touch the altar of God’s Magic Tool, he would be able to do just about anything.
To the extent that even if one of the henchmen infiltrates the Celia royal family and brainwashes the king, he will nod his head and agree.
‘It’s three days after all the troops gather. I’d better give up on the fourth slaver.’
If you move quickly, you can catch all the slavers and place them all over the place, but if you do that, you will not be able to respond to the plan of the black room.
For now, it would be better to go back to the castle and gather information.
Ray pulled out a mana orb from his leather backpack.
When I handed it to Roselle, he distanced himself suspiciously.
“Why are you handing this to me?”
“Why? You don’t have to have a way to contact them. You continue your business as usual here and report back to me any information you get. Secretly enough not to be noticed by the Black Room.”
Rosell, who was about to say ‘why do I…’, felt her mouth move on its own as before.
I tried to bite my teeth and try to block it with my hand, but my voice came out.
“Oh, I understand…”
he said, receiving the crystal ball and keeping it in his arms.
At that point, he was able to notice that he was a slave trader.
‘My self has become a slave!’
Unless he was a slave, there was no reason for his body to listen to him and follow him to this extent.
what moment is it?
When the hell did you mean enslaved!
Thinking so, he hurriedly showed his shoulder.
Then, a cool magic circle pattern appears.
An elaborate slave crest never seen before.
Even at a glance, I could feel that the encryption was so good that I couldn’t even figure out how to unlock it.
Maybe when I put my shoulder on it.
Did he compose a slave crest and engrave a magic circle in just over five minutes!
Rossell was shocked.
It was surprising that there were sorcerers with such magical abilities in the world, but moreover, he even made an aura blade right in front of his eyes.
“Heh heh heh! M… It’s a magic swordsman!”
As Rossell backed away, Mace, on the contrary, became proud.
“Hehehe, how are you? Only at this level can we claim to be the masters we serve.”
“Mace… are you happy to be a slave?”
“Whether it’s a black room or a coalition, if you become someone’s slave anyway, it’s not bad to have a more capable master.”
I heard that too.
No matter how great the black room was in Rosell’s opinion, he did not think that he would be an opponent of a high-circle mage and a sword master at the same time.
A magic swordsman who only appeared in legends.
Not only did I see such a person in front of my eyes, but I also felt like my heart was racing to think that I would have a direct master-servant relationship.
‘Why is my heart like this?’
Rosel suppressed the beating of her chest.
If Ray had known, he would have been frightened and half-killed to get his heart rate back to normal, but unfortunately he didn’t know.
Ray added one thing to him.
“From now on, only those who have sinned and become slaves will be treated. The quality of the auction will decrease, but there will be no problems with making a living.”
“But if you do, you may arouse the suspicion of the Black Room.”
At his words, Ray laughed.
“Black room? In the future, there will be a lot of things to take care of here and there in the black room, so there will be no such thing.”
How can you say that with such certainty?
His desire to ask more was like a chimney, but he was stopped by Soonbok, who was glaring at him from the side.
It was as if he was saying, ‘If you don’t want to die, do what you’re told to do.’
“Okay.”
As soon as he answered, the eyeballs that were bulging find their original position and settle down.
This time, he shifted his gaze to Mace, who was still.
“The same goes for you, Mace. Keep working as a slave trader like Rosel. It’s better if it’s related to the information award. If you can be tricked by the dark room, jump into the pit of fire.”
“The wealth fire is a little…”
Soonbok opened his eyes again.
For some reason, I wouldn’t dare refuse if I saw the numbness in my eyes.
In the end, he had no choice but to answer.
“I see.”
* * *
After removing the two slavers, Ray moved to Celia’s Harpman store this time.
The appearance of the store, which seemed to extend beyond the horizon, seemed to indicate that business was going well at a glance.
As he ignored the line and stood in front, a person who appeared to be a clerk stopped Ray.
“I’m sorry, but please line up properly. There are still a lot of complaints from customers…”
Ray held out a hand to him.
Elder Taesang’s plaque at the top of Halfman.
When he saw the card, which meant that he was in the upper row than the upper row, the clerk stood aside in admiration.
“I don’t know, see you.”
It feels like being the king of a country.
While I was in awe of the good mood, the branch manager who heard the news from inside jumped out in a hurry.
“omg! omg! If you had contacted me in advance, I would have gone to pick you up…”
“It’s okay. Rather, there is something I want to ask the branch manager for…”
As he spoke, he glanced around and the branch manager nodded as if he understood.
“Please go inside.”
Upon entering the upper part, antique ornaments and artwork catch the eye.
In addition, it seemed that the closer I got to the VIP room, the more beautiful music I heard.
There’s no way that only that money bug harp would hire an orchestra, so he probably bought a magic tool with music.
Minen cast a coy glance.
“…A magic swordsman who was said to appear only in legends, and the elder Taesang in the upper half of the upper class. How many identities do you have?”
At her words, Ray thought for a moment.
In the Holy Land, he captured a saint and a necromancer, and when he killed the Bone Dragon, he even got the reputation of being a dragon slayer.
Is that all?
He was a human whose skills were inherited by the dwarves, and he was also the first human recognized by the high elves.
When I think about it again, the names are quite diverse.
Before I could answer her words, I arrived at the branch manager’s office.
After entering, the branch manager hurriedly removed the desk and offered a chair.
“It’s shabby, but sit down. I am sorry for being shabby.”
If it wasn’t for the parchment on the desk, it’s fairly clean.
In Hafman’s case, the whole room is littered with gold coins.
“are you okay. Rather…”
“Tell me.”
When the branch manager comfortably recommended it, Ray also relaxed and opened his mouth.
He pointed to Moros, who stood silently on one side.
“Please put this child on top of the harp. At first glance, if you eat well, your body will be strong, and you have quite a bit of stamina. If you teach me some good swordsmanship, it will be perfect for an escort.”
The request was easier than expected, so the branch manager was relieved.
Elder Taesang came to ask for help, so he thought that something big had happened.
“If that’s the case, there’s nothing wrong with it. I will do as you wish, Elder Taesang.”
The two went over, but Moros, the party, was not.
To think that he, who had been a slave just a few days ago, would suddenly become an escort at the top of the continent!
It was not a big position, but in his opinion, there was no rise in status like this.
“I am…”
He tapped Moros on the shoulder a couple of times as he was about to say something.
“Since I’ve been feeding them and putting them to sleep, I have to pay for the food.”
At first glance, it may seem like he is pampering, but how can you not understand his heart?
Tears like chicken droppings flowed from Moros’ eyes.
“Thank you… Thank you…
”
There was a smile on his lips as he clicked his tongue.
Mian also smiled.
It seems evil yet warm, it seems sinister and yet human.
‘If there is a human saint, this must be the feeling.’
Of course, that won’t happen.

After putting Rosel and Mace Morros in their respective positions, Ray returned to the castle.
Soonbok and Mien plan to stay overnight at the royal capital as usual and look to the east.
“If you see even one disturbing movement, contact Sujeong-gu.”
-Do not worry.
Soonbok spoke boldly, as if telling him to trust only himself.
I don’t even worry about it.
As long as the contractor has enough mana, Subok is powerful enough to destroy a kingdom.
No matter how dark it is, it wouldn’t be like putting all your strength, so there was no way you could handle submission.
Also, to listen to Soonbok.
– This place is not yet evolved to the extent that the spirit world is opened. There will be no further evolution unless humans’ levels of power and magical understanding of civilization go off track.
I heard
Does that mean that the world itself can change?
– Then we’ll go.
“…I don’t know what you’re planning, but good luck.”
Soonbok and Mien said goodbye and left.
Finally left alone, Ray headed straight for the castle.
A strangely sincere smile formed on his lips.
* * *
A meeting was convened as soon as they arrived at the royal castle.
The reason is to report the plan of the small war that the commander of the Knights Ronel will engage in at the border.
When Ray announced his intention to attend the meeting, King Deogard sat him next to him for some reason.
As everyone seemed to have gathered, the king finally ordered the meeting to begin.
“Hmmmm. Make sure to report back, Sir Ronell.”
“yes.”
Knight Commander Ronell, who briefly bowed his head, aimed his silver baton at the huge map.
“We intend to gather our forces based on the mountains east of the border. Opponent forces are huge, but exhaustion will be at its peak after long camps. If we fight across the terrain, Celia will surely take the victory in this skirmish.”
As they laid out their plausible plans, the nobles nodded.
It’s not a big war anyway, it’s a small war.
Win or lose, they just had to take care of their pride.
When no objection came out, Knight Commander Ronel raised an eyebrow.
“The battle will start in three days. As soon as the day dawns, we will advance.”
