Chapter 162 – The Scion rolls his head
From the moment I turned the first chapter, I started reading this book without a break.
I encountered many difficulties in the process of gathering information to prepare a plan to root out the rebels operating in the Bregern Empire and the El Pario Empire.
Through this incident, I could clearly feel that there is a limit to obtaining undisclosed information, even if you are a sword master.
I realized anew that there was a clear distinction between what a person with superior military power, such as a sword master, could do, and what a person with superior intelligence, such as collecting information, could do.
Currently, with the help of His Highness Antonio, the emperor of the Bregern Empire, I am active with a new identity.
In this situation where, because of the secret orders given to me by His Highness Antonio, I feel it would be a luxury to solve a problem with the help of others, this book I am reading is a valuable resource that helps me understand the psychology of traitors. Was
“After…”
I haven’t read a lot of books, so in a situation where my body wasn’t used to reading books, was it because I kept reading thick books?
After reading this book, which is made of parchment from beginning to end, I felt my eyes hurt and my throat sore.
‘What time is it?’
I looked around, thinking for a moment what time it was.
This is because libraries have installed clocks everywhere for users who spend too much time reading.
Looking at the expensive artifacts that have hour and minute hands, as well as a second hand, and even a function that distinguishes day and night, in the library, you can see how much the Empire of Elpario paid attention to the library.
As I was looking around for a watch, what I saw was the inside of a dark document storage room.
I couldn’t find the slightest light even through the small window on the door of the archives room, so it didn’t seem like much time had passed since I started reading.
While reading this book, I looked up and looked for my watch to see how much time had passed, and noticed a familiar person sitting in front of me.
This man who had brought a chair right in front of me and was nodding his head in the sitting position was the executive committee member who guided me all the way to this place.
“Growl… Pooh… Growl… Pooh…….”
The executive committee member either forgot I was there, or seemed relaxed, and was snoring and sleeping really soundly.
I pondered for a while whether or not I should wake this sleeping person who was snoring.
How tired you must have been to fall asleep like this even if you knew that someone was reading a book in front of you?
By the way, since the executive committee member is sleeping, it would be nice to take some time to summarize the contents of the book I read.
First of all, to express this book titled ‘The Truth Revealed Behind the Hidden History’ in one sentence, ‘The land you occupied is the land of our ancestors, so we must give it back to us, their descendants. ‘.
I’m not kidding, I was able to explain the contents of hundreds of pages by compressing them into this one sentence.
According to this book, those who rebelled were people who originally lived on this land. In other words, it could be explained as a native.
People who were pushed out due to the Pandeum Empire, which was called the Dark Empire, took the land of the natives living on this land and built a country there. , Said in this book that historians have lumped these attempts under the word ‘treason’.
In addition, this book showed how planned and systematic the attempt was, and how it developed over time.
At the same time, this book also included an evaluation of each uprising plan based on the data collected by the author who wrote this book.
In short, this book was like the treasure trove I had been searching for.
And I became suspicious of the executive committee member who introduced me to this book.
‘To say that they know the existence of this book means that the members of the executive committee have some relationship with the people who wrote this book or that group.’
Obviously, the Executive Committee seemed to know the contents of this book.
‘I read it and put a lot of thought into it.’
All I knew about the executive was that he was a Bless executive.
By the way, is there any reason for the Executive Committee to search for information on treason?
If he were an Executive Committee member, he would be the one in charge of helping the Planning Director and managing the events within the Noble Academy.
In particular, why did you leave this book in the library where it cannot be disclosed externally and can only be disclosed to some of Noble Academy’s students?
There was nothing suspicious about any of them.
In addition, isn’t the behavior he showed me similar to the way that cults attract people?
During my life as a mercenary, among the enemies I personally defeated, there were quite a few cult leaders.
Well, to say it was a pseudo-religion, it was a small scale with barely over 100 members.
One of the most used means by those guys to increase their power was ‘speciality’.
It was to seduce people by saying that they would tell you something special that others don’t know.
There were quite a few people who were enchanted by this and ended up getting stained with pseudo-religions and crossing the road from never returning.
Anyway, the conclusion I came to based on my past experience was that the executive committee members are very likely to be direct descendants or helpers of the natives described in this book.
‘Then what should I do with this person?’
If this person is, as I thought, a direct descendant of the natives, or a helper of the organization, then I had to subdue the executive committee member and get various information from him.
In the first place, the secret orders I received from His Majesty the Emperor were to find out the information of those plotting rebellion, or to wipe them out if necessary.
But, worst of all, what if this person is just a ponytail, a low-end who doesn’t even know what’s going on?
Or, if you’re just a guy who thinks the idea of rebels is cool?
On the contrary, there was no possibility that I would be disappointed.
In the first place, there would be no way for the Executive Committee to defeat me by force, but the world can kill people with anything other than force.
For example, like I did in the past at the Royal Academy, I manipulate rumors about people in a bad way.
Come to think of it, where are the knight lady and the elf lady who attacked me and what are they doing?
As explained by His Majesty the Emperor, the leader, the Elf Knight, was banished from the Great Forest, and all other elves were put on probation. I remember receiving
‘What am I thinking?’
Well, if I met those two again, the relationship could have been slightly strained.
I wasn’t completely dead, but since they were the people I drove to the brink of death, it was certain that I wouldn’t feel good looking at them.
I don’t know.
The two haven’t even appeared in front of me yet, so I guess I’ll have to focus on the issues I need to be concerned about right now.
‘Then, shall we wake this person up first?’
I was thinking of waking up the executive committee first.
I was thinking of waking him up, talking to him a bit more, and giving him a little flirtation.
“Hmm?”
As I put my hand on his shoulder and shook it gently, the commissioner awoke.
“He slept quite a while.”
“Ah, hmm. I’m sorry. I have a lot of work to do these days.”
“I understand. There are so many busy things. You are the executive committee member of that Bless.”
The executive member stretched and looked at me.
“So, how did you like the contents of the book?”
“I really liked it. All the information I needed was inside. It made me want to meet the person who wrote this book and hear his story.”
I secretly revealed my false true feelings to the executive committee member, hoping that he would bite the rice cake I threw.
“Would you like to?”
Bingo. The executive committee member’s expression subtly changed, and he seemed to be in a bit of trouble, then smiled again.
“Yes. Where did you get this precious material, and if you’re not rude, could you get a chance to meet the author of this book?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Hmmm. It’s not that hard. If you keep one promise, I will let you meet the author of this book this weekend.”
I opened my mouth to the words of the executive committee member who said that he would let me meet the person who wrote this book if I keep one promise.
“What is that promise?”
