Chapter 68 Reaction (5)
The meeting started.
Frontier sat side by side with Atzier, silently observing the process of the meeting.
This meeting is completely different from what was held in Constell or the Wall. A large-scale conference attended by Constell, the imperial family, and professionals. Few of them know Frontier. Perhaps he will rarely get a chance to speak.
But Frontier had a lot to do. It would have been better not to have a say right now.
‘I’m sure it started in the North as well. As predicted by Atjie, it came into contact with a demon outside.’
Frontier was putting the meeting materials into the workshop and collapsing the information. It wasn’t that he was abbreviated, but the workshop was doing it half way.
Scattered data takes a lot of time to look at the countless papers one by one.
In addition, human memory is not infinite, so the more data piles up, the more information you see at the beginning will be forgotten.
However, Frontier creates images and displays them in front of them. It was an application of the ‘three-dimensional blueprint’ discussed previously.
The maps that had been put in a while ago were overlapped and the surrounding map appeared as a three-dimensional shape, and the event occurrence mark and movement route were marked with lines and symbols.
The image you are constantly seeing in front of your eyes is neither forgotten nor missing. False information may be somewhat mixed, but those with low probability were excluded one after another through comparison with other data.
‘The fact that you are in contact with a monster means that you have enough intelligence on the side of the monster as well. Of course, there is a high probability that they are outsiders. The problem is the path. Where do they meet and distribute mana injections with those who will be beyond the barrier here in the central area?’
As the meeting progressed, the three-dimensional map of Frontier continued to be added with new information, adding more detailed symbols and lines.
As if watching a puzzle that could be put together, Frontier looked closely at the three-dimensional design in front of him.
“Uh-huh, only then will I be swallowed up by the sea of information.”
During the meeting, one of the pros mumbled like a whimper. Hearing those words, Frontier smiled a little. ‘Sea of Information’. I didn’t expect to hear such a word in this world.
Unlike Frontier’s map, which was being completed one after another, the meeting was chaotic and unpredictable.
It was natural. Unlike Frontier, the materials in the meeting were not even organized yet.
Moreover, since they are unaware of the authenticity and importance of the information, someone’s suggestion of opinion was lightly ignored by someone else’s rebuttal.
Of course, there was no malice on the side who made the opinion or the side who rebutted it, but it is not easy to decide which side should be given priority.
Unlike Frontier, where information is accumulated and synthesized, they only see one piece of data with one eye. Putting some material on top makes that material appear to be the most important.
‘Besides, there is a lot of needlessly false information.’
In Frontier, such information is naturally removed as data is merged, but it is difficult for them to throw away any data.
So you probably don’t even know that nearly half of these numbers are false.
This number was too high, even considering the difficulty of recognizing the symptoms of mana infusion. Even if the data uploaded to the meeting will be filtered once.
‘Someone is spreading false information. I deliberately put that information into a meeting and made it difficult.’
Only one person can do this. Of course, Frontier didn’t even have to look at the man.
I just tried to speed up my thinking a bit.
‘In order for false information to work, there must be a lot of real sighting information. Falsehood is meaningful only when it is mixed in a large number of sporadic information.’
In other words, Edden knew from the beginning. A lot of eyewitness information will be poured into the mana infusion incident.
Rather than limiting all of that information, they are trying to hide the truth by releasing a bunch of fake information.
“Then we remove the most suspicious parts first. It will also help with abbreviating information.”
Eden said during the meeting. Edden marked the area with a circle on the map spread out for everyone to see.
“Based on information so far, these are the places where sightings have been reported the most. First, let’s start with a team and check them out. It is also meaningful to organize the data, and it would be great if one of them found their lab.”
Everyone nodded at Edden’s words. There was too much information about sightings, so the areas that Edden marked were too sporadic, but this was the only way to proceed with the operation now.
Frontier remained silent. Whatever he said now, no one would listen.
In such a meeting, rational judgments and facts were not so important in persuading those around them. The important thing is to make sure the people in the meeting are trustworthy.
In that sense, Edden was a person they could trust, and Frontier was the first kid they saw today.
By the way.
“Then, Frontier?”
Edden called Frontier’s name first.
“I think it will go something like this, do you have anything to say? It’s a face that looks like there are differences of opinion.”
Everyone turned to Frontier at Edden’s words. Most of them did not see Frontier, but rather followed Edden’s gaze and eventually saw Frontier.
From Frontier’s point of view, Edden now has the say, and it’s a good time to bring his synthesized information to the meeting.
however.
“There is no disagreement.”
Frontier only replied plainly, but didn’t say anything further.
Eden smiled and said.
“You are quiet.”
“I just know the subject.”
Atjie, who was next to Frontier’s answer, stood out.
It was not unreasonable to recall Atzier’s past aristocratic meeting over Mystyltaine.
* * *
In the end, the meeting ended without Frontier saying a word.
As Edden suggested, the participants formed a team and decided to investigate. Since there were so many places, the number of people was kept to a minimum.
When forming a team, the minimum usually means ‘3 people’.
But Frontier and Atzier were the only team on the team. Philly did not investigate in order to conduct and manage the operation. In the first place, the Empress’s body could not move to such a place.

Neither Frontier nor Atzi had any particular dissatisfaction with the fact that Frontier and Atzi became a team alone, even though all teams had at least three members.Their thoughts were almost the same.
‘Too good enough.’
“Frondier, I forgot to tell you, but Constell is on hiatus for the time being.”
“I just wanted to ask about it, but it looks like the procedure has already been completed.”
“Of course. Since it is the name of the Empress in the first place, there will be nothing against you in Constell.”
Frontier nodded.
The two got into the car. Frontier unfolded the map, glancing at the investigation point they were headed towards.
That was the end of it. Frontier folded the map again and put it away.
“Frondier, it was a good decision to spare you some time ago.”
“thank you.”
“However, in my eyes, you do not seem positive about this operation. Do you have any thoughts?”
Atjie spoke to Frontier only after coming to an enclosed place inside the car.
It wasn’t that Frontier didn’t have anything to say, it was just that he noticed that he wasn’t talking on purpose.
“… … Of course it is. But it’s not something that can be said lightly. There is nothing I can be sure of either.”
From the frontier’s point of view, Edden Hamerlot is the enemy.

Now this coalition is moving under the leadership of the enemy. Of course there’s nothing good about leaving it alone.However, the purpose of Edden is not yet known, and Frontier does not know whether the enemy is Edden alone, or whether there are several members of this coalition mixed together, or whether the entire phenomenon is the enemy.
It was still too early for him to move.
“Right. Then ask me this.”
Atji changed the question.
“What do you think of this operation, which consists of a large number of small teams to investigate suspicious areas?”
A question that narrowed the scope to only the content of the operation, not the entire situation.
It was not difficult to answer this.
Even that wasn’t good.
“Maybe we can catch a few people infused with mana. It might be possible to prevent them from causing a riot.”
However, the Frontier spoke calmly.
“Nothing else is going to happen.”
* * *
A week has passed since the Coalition began the investigation.
As Frontier predicted, there was no significant harvest. He caught a few people who had injected mana, but that was all.
Most of these people didn’t even know what they had been through, and even if they did know something, they were just idiots.
They just thought they belonged to something great, but in the end they were just the end of a lower-level organization.
“Investigation is not easy, but we are preventing risk factors in advance. Reports on mana infusion are also increasing. It’s time to be patient.”
Edden encouraged the crew during the meeting. That was true, but it was clear that little had been discovered since their purpose was to root out the infusion of mana in the first place.
Of course, from the frontier’s point of view, it was natural. The person in charge of the mana injection is Edden, and the Edden is in charge, so if they are left as they are, they will not be able to access the essence for the rest of their lives.
“Damn it, I thought it was going to be organized, but the papers are piling up.”
someone grumbled As he said, eyewitness reports were on the rise. Similar reports have also been received from places they have investigated as suspected areas.
Edden probably believes things are going well so far. All the protagonists who can solve this case are gathered here, and as long as they follow Edden’s words, he will proceed smoothly toward his goal.
But it’s not just Edin.
‘… … Okay.’
Frontier put a piece of material down on the desk. Other than that, there were piles of materials, but Frontier didn’t touch the next one.
A complete end of the investigation. You don’t need to see this anymore. With that certainty, Frontier placed his hand on the paper that had been laid down on the desk.
──One of those simple actions.
Just one gesture of putting down the paper you were reading silently.
Frontier quieted all the distractions floating around in the meeting.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Everyone in the meeting stopped talking and looked at Frontier. All of them did not understand the meaning of this silent silence, which they all sat down on their own.
I only knew one thing.
This great silence was laid by Frontier.
He didn’t use an aura, he didn’t make a loud noise, and he didn’t do any great moves.
Just simply, the fact that you’ve finished what you’ve been doing.
The pros here instinctively sensed Frontier’s huge presence.
“… … Frontier?”
Edden called the Frontier. Frontier looked up and looked at him.
“Yes.”
“I always looked at the data without saying a word during meetings, did I get tired of it?”
Edden made a light joke.
Frontier’s behavior was the same at meetings over the past week.
Turning through the piled-up material one by one, he reaches out to the next chapter at a speed that makes it doubtful whether he has even seen it with his own eyes.
Others, who at first found it bizarre, quickly turned their attention and focused on the meeting, as Frontier continued to do so without a word.
Frontier said that he knew the subject himself, so he’s probably just passing the time without going out of his way. Most thought so.
But no matter how quiet the Frontier moves, they don’t care.
Watching the data being turned over as if it had become a machine for a week, you can feel your own thoughts.
“no.”
Frontier’s answer. Edin was a little surprised. Up until now, even if Edden said something similar, he was a frontier who said yes and passed it on.
That was the course of the last week, and I thought it would be the same again.
But it was different.
it’s time to go out
“I no longer need to read.”
At Frontier’s words, the expressions of everyone around him changed.
They all knew what that meant.
“What does that mean? Frontier.”
Eden asked.
Frontier widened his senses and confirmed the gazes directed at him.
Their gaze was very different from when they first saw Frontier.
The situation has not progressed for a week, the piles of fake and real data are piling up, the impatience of wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible, and the worries that the damage will spread to the citizens.
They needed something to evoke the gloomy atmosphere.
In order to convince someone, you have to let them know that you are a trustworthy person.
This obviously takes a lot of time and effort, but in this case, Frontier came up with a simpler method.
People here still don’t know who Frontier is.
But whoever it was, they were determined to believe the new story.
For this, Frontier waited silently for a week.
“Then let me explain in a moment.”
Frontier stood up. There was no one to dry it. Everyone wanted it.
However, only one Edden had a hard expression on his face even after talking to himself. It wasn’t noticeable, but it was visible to Frontier’s eyes.
But I can’t dry it. Edden has been giving Frontier a say over the past week.
“… … Do it.”
Edden gave the frontier a seat. Everyone turned their eyes to Frontier, who stepped forward.
Frontier looked at the map Edden had laid out for all to see. Of course, I need that map to explain this operation.
… … Everyone thought so.
“I’ll put this aside for a while.”
Frontier took out the map Edden had laid out, folded it finely, and set it aside.
It was a very polite attitude, but it was incomprehensible.
“… … Can you explain without a map? Hey student, isn’t that what you’ve been watching all day for the past week?”
When someone asked, everyone burst into laughter.
As if sympathizing with those words, Frontier laughed too.
“Of course not. We need a map.”
I removed the map, do you need a map?
When everyone naturally had the same question, said Frontier.
“Do you know about ‘three-dimensional blueprints’?”
Suddenly Frontier asked. Some tilted their heads, some shrugged, or nodded.
Do you know what a three-dimensional blueprint is? yes of course i know Is there anyone on this continent who doesn’t know?
However, since it was such a natural question, I just wanted to say yes.
“Then you will understand this soon.”
Frontier grabbed the armband in one hand and the other. He then gently turned his wrist.
“… … !”
When something black spewed out of the pod, everyone raised the tension in an instant. Some have already entered combat stance.
Frontier didn’t care and manipulated the Black Sky.
The black water drops spread wide in front of the frontier, and gradually began to take shape with lines and planes.
The pros, who had taken their hands on the weapon to see what Frontier was going to do, gradually put their hands back on the weapon and watched the scene.
I didn’t know anything about the principle of the process Frontier was doing. The identity of the sudden black water was not known at all.
However, they all understood.
What Frontier is showing.
“… … That’s it.”
When the movement of the black water drops stopped and it took its perfect shape.
Everyone in the meeting opened their mouths and focused on the shape.
The shape created by Heukcheon was the first one they had ever seen.
Even after seeing it for the first time, everyone knew what it was.
As if confirming that thought, Frontier said.
“It’s a ‘three-dimensional map’.”
