Episode 99 First Meeting of the Three Families (2)
“….”
“….”
The audience was very quiet.
Although it’s obviously having a barbecue party in the garden in a nice atmosphere.
Zeke and Eucliwood were quiet as they watched the receptionist, and the receptionist felt awkward because they weren’t used to having a meal out like this.
Ray looked at them and said.
“Do you know why I’m gathering you all together for a meal?”
Hongyoung gave a small reply.
“…Is it because you want us to get used to each other’s faces?”
“Half right, half wrong.”
As Ray shook his head and said, those who had no idea couldn’t hide their doubts from their faces.
He said as he put the meat on the grill he had made.
“I want you to cooperate with each other rather than act independently.”
“….”
Asking back would be disrespectful, so they quietly listened to Ray.
“Organizations are originally there to complement each other’s weaknesses. Moving individually like now is not efficient.”
Ray’s words were part of what they acknowledged to some extent.
However, they had been given roles for a long time and were accustomed to fulfilling them and assisting the saint, so what Ray said did not touch them very much.
“…I apologize, Holy Son. It seems that it will be less efficient because it is something I am not used to.”
Ray affirmed Eucliwood’s words.
“that’s right. But that will get resolved with time. It won’t be very efficient right away, but in a few years it’ll be pretty good.
“If the Holy Son commands me to do so, I will do so…”
In response, Ray shook his head again.
“I don’t want to tie you down by force. In that case, it would be more helpful to move like now.”
In simple terms, it means that the order does not suppress it.
It’s just that they want to cooperate voluntarily.
Zeke answered right away, without much time to think.
“I don’t care.”
Seeing that, all their eyes turned to Zeke.
He said as he moved the grilled meat to a plate.
“If it is effective in assisting the Holy Son, I agree to do anything.”
Along with his words, Eucliwood sighed.
“Haa… That means breaking the family tradition in your generation. Are you familiar enough with the meaning?”
“The Duchess of Trey’s duty is to protect the safety of the saint. I just chose something a little more efficient for that.”
Eucliwood was also at a loss for words at Zeke’s unwavering gaze.
Seeing that he even revealed the mission given to his family, it seems that he is full of heart to do according to Ray’s opinion.
The receptionists also exchanged glances with each other a few times before Hongyeong replied.
“We agree.”
No other words were needed. At her words of cooperation, the other receptionists also nodded.
Perhaps their representative was Hong Young, not Heuk Young.
It was Hongyoung who used the highest level of stealth when he was actually hiding.
Hongyoung opened her mouth again.
“Our Dane family’s mission is to keep the Holy Son’s orders. However, Danein is committed to working with them regardless.”
When the Duke of Trey and the Dane family promised to cooperate, the Belacroix family remained.
That is, only Eucliwood remained.
she said with a small sigh.
“Ha… I see. Let Belacroix cooperate as well.”
Zeke grinned at Eucliwood’s words.
However, that smile was hardened like a stone by her words.
“We at Belacroix are in charge of information. Our family’s mission is to always stay by the side of the Holy Son. That ultimately means marriage.”

Gregory and Selena from the Lessian Empire were desperately trying to get Ray.
Having already contacted the empire, what they had to do was seek cooperation from the Holy Land.
However, Seong-guk had no choice but to look good because he put a nail in the meeting to persuade the saint.
For example, Gregory helps the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom train in the morning.
Of course, it seemed to be proceeding with the understanding of Seongguk, but in reality it was not.
It’s like a sword master teaching soldiers. From the standpoint of Seongguk, it was of course a benefit, but it is also true that it is a burden.
However, Gregory did not stop there and engaged in sparring with the knights.
Thanks to this, the Paladins’ skills were improving.
And what about Selena?
She gladly gave lectures on the theory of magic and an introduction to mathematical magic combat science, raising the growth of wizards.
Just because it’s a holy country doesn’t mean it doesn’t have wizards at all.
Just as there were priests and priests in countries other than the Holy Kingdom, there were many magic troops and knights who used mana in the Holy Kingdom.
There weren’t many opportunities for such wizards to hear the theories established and developed in the Empire.
Naturally, the number of attendees was enormous, and her lectures were so popular that she stood and listened to the lectures in the lecture hall.
Now, to the extent that the Seongguk cannot shut it down on its own.
It is the holy country that is strong in troops, but the Lessian Empire is happy.
If you help me like this, I have to say that I will repay you even if it’s an empty word.
At that time, if Gregory and Selena asked to appease the saint, he could not refuse.
It is not that they ask for a saint to be sent to their country, but that they ask for a good word, but even that cannot be refused.
And the Seongguk was just a burden, but it wasn’t a condition I didn’t particularly like.
If you say a good word to the saint, the military power will be strengthened, and of course there was no reason to dislike it.
Furthermore, at the meeting, the Lessian Empire was taken by Ray.
Seongguk thought that the probability that Ray would go over to the Holladang Empire was small just because they spoke.
It wasn’t just the Lessian Empire that made a fart in the Holy Land.
The Baybone Kingdom and the Glaman Kingdom were moving things that might be helpful to the kingdom as well.
In the case of the Baybon Kingdom, which is rich in resources and has developed economics, it moved the Merchant Alliance to open the way to commerce in the castle country, and the Glaman Kingdom, where the quality of its soldiers is high with training methods independently researched and developed, is their own soldiers. I was helping with training.
As for why they do such good things to other countries, there was one reason.
Because they also want the saint of the jaggeum.
Magical ability estimated to be Lord-class or higher, and swordsmanship that can not be pushed even against Sword Master Gregory, who is called a swordsman.
In addition, his speech, which overwhelmed everyone at the summit, was not enough to be coveted by all countries.
Of course, it was an effort that would be in vain if Ray did not go to any country.
Thanks to that, Seongguk was screaming happily.
Now, Ray’s influence in the Holy Land was almost equal to that of the Pope.
After all, he was a hero of this war.
Depending on their contributions in war, they may be awarded medals or titles.
Of course, the title of saint has no place to go down or up, but it is natural that there are rewards.
It would proceed once the rebel forces were all suppressed and the situation settled.
There were still quite a few rebels in the western region.

“Whoa… It’s a little late now.”
Iriel sighed, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Until now, on behalf of the Holy Kingdom, she had informed the neighboring countries and the Lessian Empire that the case was over and had requested material support for the restoration of the city.
Of course, they readily accepted Seongguk’s request.
Only now, Seongguk was in the position of A, and other neighboring countries were in the position of B.
The saddest part is themselves. So I couldn’t help but keep an eye on Seongguk.
The Holy Kingdom unintentionally overtook the Lessian Empire.
It would be three days, but it was the moment when it became the strongest country.
Since Iriel was mainly responsible for the important tasks related to diplomacy, she was finally able to rest a little.
Sitting at the table in the office, enjoying tea time after a long time, she opened her eyes.
“By the way, the Belacroix family… It’s a family with more false information than I thought. Are you saying that the family is also related to it?”
Iriel also had three families.
All of them had known each other since they were children, so they were familiar and trusted in their abilities.
She ordered an investigation into the Belacroix family, which had been suspicious for a long time, and it was a very difficult task even for the Geter family, which is in charge of the saint’s ears.
First of all, one thing I was able to know was that the Gaither family had an advantage over the Belacroix family in terms of information.
That’s why I was able to secretly find out information about Belacroix.
It was unreasonable to infiltrate the family directly, but thanks to the endless information warfare and the spilling of gold coins in several places, I was able to find out one fact.
It was about the head of the Belacroix family.
I heard that he learned magic, but nothing is known exactly.
Moreover, the identity of the head of Belacroix was so unknown that even those in important positions in the Holy Kingdom had never seen it.
However, Iriel was able to find out who the householder was.
“Euclidean, City of Belacroix.”
Her hands trembled slightly as she drank the tea
.
I didn’t know that the head of the family, who was not even the heir of the family, was directly serving the saint.
Besides, she was quite young. Even so, I would have thought he was in a position at the head of a family.
For what purpose did the head of the family pretend to be the servant of the saint?
An ominous feeling passed through her mind.

Aira looked out the window and frowned.
“Where is the unpleasant smell coming from…”
said a keen sense of humor nurtured by living for nearly a thousand years.
It means that something bad is happening somewhere that you don’t know about.
Her intuition was seldom wrong.
Aira swept her white hair behind her ears and looked into the distance.
what is he doing now
For an elf, a few years would be just a fleeting moment, but time seemed to pass too slowly.
I am really looking forward to seeing how many years will pass before they will be reunited again and how they will come to me.
‘Whoop whoop. Human growth is quite fast. He will soon return as a full-fledged man.’
Lost in a happy imagination, she did not know.
That her rivals are emerging one by one.
No, now it is trying to get Ray on a very national level.
