163 – A horse without feet goes a thousand miles
A device that can select mines is being developed!
A horse without feet can go a thousand miles.
That sentence, without even a solid basis, covered the empire.
If you think about it common sense, it’s a nonsense story.
But people believed the story ferociously in the hope that it might be safer.
If such a thing really existed, it would have been secretly developed and tested, so why spread rumors?
This was a trap.
It’s an obvious modification to call out demons because there is such a thing on purpose.
However, since the subject of the rumor was the subject, there was a strange credibility.
‘If you’re really making it? What if it’s near completion?’
Not only the empire, but all the spies planted in other kingdoms might be caught.
If it was just a rumor, I would have ignored it.
Of course, it was Dongdaemun.
‘He’s already had a track record of weeding out demons once.’
It would have been nice if I could have known exactly who that professor was.
Everything was blocked as long as I tried to get information about what was there.
This is a variable that even the Prophet did not know about, and it was the work of Melia, the devil of tricks.
There was no way he knew the devil’s ulterior motive that he couldn’t see the death of the human he had foretold.
‘The timing is too precise.’
I never thought that this kind of bad news would attack me at the moment when I was slowly trying to pressure Lee Seok-hyun.
Did I pay too much attention to knowing the future?
The number of unexpected cases gave the Seer a headache.
Originally, I was going to put pressure on Lee Seok-hyun in all directions and frame him.
However, the moment Dongdaemun talked about the Mine Detector.
It was as if all the plans were in vain.
If you only have a Mine Detector, you can find the Mine right away, so why are you applying pressure on various grounds?
It was just a matter of bringing him in, getting tested, and acting on the results.
Moreover, even the spies he had put into the empire were no different from being dangerous.
If such a thing is developed, of course the empire will investigate the inside first.
If that happened, I had to assume that it would be caught unconditionally.
Because black mana cannot be hidden just because it is hidden.
‘If only Karan had told me about Repenta’s mana…’
Repenta’s black mana has stability that is different from the black mana used by demons.
If I had received that, my power would have increased at least twice as much as now.
Karan refused to pass on the will, saying that he could not give it to those who did not inherit it.
‘Still, it seems that there are people who have inherited their will when I see them always making disciples.’
It’s not important right now, so I decided to put my mind off it.
First of all, we had to solve the crisis in front of us.
‘Can I have no choice but to hit Dongdaemun?’
Since we are currently preparing for a total solar eclipse, there were not many mines that could be used.
‘If you hit Dongdaemun here, it’s just like proving that there is a demon detector.’
No matter how I moved, I couldn’t escape the thought that it was in the palm of my hand.
It was a result of not imagining that he would suddenly stab her in the back in this way.
If you hit Dongdaemun, there is a high possibility that the empire will be involved, so you can’t move hastily.
The best the prophet could do was to keep an eye on Lee Seok-hyeon.
‘No, no.’
Mine As she tried to cancel her framed plan, the Foresight flashed her eyes as if she realized something.
‘The circumstances overlap so perfectly.’
In the process of trying to frame Lee Seok-hyun, it is said that Dongdaemun suddenly developed a demon detector?
Mine was right to lose out on this, but Lee Seok-hyun was the one who benefited overwhelmingly.
Dongdaemun moved as soon as two days had passed since the false accusation plan began.
This was something that couldn’t be solved by saying suspicious.
Since this information was accessible only to the imperial family, Velos must have conveyed the empire’s movements to Lee Seok-hyeon.
Rumors spread appropriately at such a timing.
Possibility that Dongdaemun and Lee Seok-hyeon might be a team came to mind.
What Dongdaemun and Lee Seok-hyun have in common is that they are variables that did not originally exist in the future.
That meant that the variable could be one, not separate.
‘Of course, it’s just a possibility, but it’s worth touching.’
First of all, let’s secretly send a few people to Dongdaemun.
I don’t like the idea of reinforcing rumors about Mine Detectors.
I decided to move thinking that it was an inevitable sacrifice.
‘And if it ever happens, in the imperial palace… I’ll do that too.’
It was the start of the chicken game.
+++++++++++
“…Probably thinks it’s a game of chicken.”
If you know what kind of gain you are trying to get when something happens, it will be easier to understand the ulterior motive.
In the case of Seer, the immediate goal must be to get rid of me, who is considered a thorn in the eye.
Then if you just spread rumors properly and keep quiet.
The Foresight had no choice but to be troublesome.
Then it seems like they are playing with me.
At the same time, I won’t have any intention of missing out on the false accusation against me.
Because he’s the one who knows that the Mine Detector is a lie.
Even if you can’t pinpoint it, you probably have a vague idea.
The important point here was ‘how many people he puts into Dongdaemun’.
It meant that if we were to commit a large number, there was nothing planned right now.
If there were not many people or only a lot of goods, it meant that there was a reason to save energy.
‘My ultimate goal is not to clear my name.’
Reading the next move of the seer.
That was the reason for spreading the rumor.
Predict what will happen in the future by identifying the quality of mines trying to approach Dongdaemun.
Based on that, the goal was to minimize the damage by taking countermeasures.
‘This isn’t a game of chicken, you’re just playing in my hands.’
In the first place, the core of Dongdaemun is only one professor.
The rest were people who could be fired right away without any problem, and the information value was low.
This meant that if I didn’t die, Dongdaemun would be all right.
Even if a building burns down, you can build it again.
If you want to take someone hostage, just tell them not to go to work before that.
Mine was destined to die in a collapsing building in an empty house.
Moreover, even if a situation broke out when I was not there, there was no problem because all the manuals were delivered to the secretary.
A competent secretary who appeared as if she had fallen from the sky handled most of the work.
‘That’s it.’
Move slowly in the direction I think, Seer.
Then, I’ll send you off as neatly as the children who left before you.

Mirinae Academy’s weekend.

Velos entered the imperial palace through the portal early in the morning.
‘I thought he would sneak into my room.’
I didn’t contact anyone.
If you hear the rumor that the prince is moving, things might get messy.
It was best to move around as unnoticed as possible.
‘I need to know who is suspicious of the commoners.’
As a result of the rough investigation, the suspicion of Lee Seok-hyun did not stop even though the words of the mine detector were coming out.
If only the detector came out, would you dare to hold on to the problem that would solve everything? It was safe to say that this was malicious.
Even if there was no malice, I couldn’t understand why he wanted to kill his friend like that in the first place.
When Bellos said this, he saw the expression on the commoner’s face, and it was clear that something was up.
And usually, if there’s a problem with this, there’s only one thing I can think of.
‘There is a devil’s helper in the empire.’
I don’t know how it got to this point, knowingly or unknowingly.
There was nothing more than being stepped on by the prince’s intuition.
‘I have to solve it by myself as much as possible.’
When you solve this problem alone without anyone’s help, your status within the empire will rise.

Velos saw this opportunity as a springboard for growth and intended to monopolize it.
Even if he was a Mine anyway, there was a thought that he would be weaker than himself, who had recently undergone special training.
Of course, the rank of the Mine Velos met recently was top-notch.
It’s like if you get past the danger of death, the crisis below it doesn’t feel threatening.
He was full of confidence now.
With the advent of Dongdaemun, wizards can play an active role even in the midst of black mana.
He felt it was the right moment to show off his talent as a prince.
‘This is it.’
The imperial palace was very large, and it was very difficult to find the Mine Intelligence Department in it.
However, the title of prince had the power to make that difficult task simple.
Taking the map, I immediately moved to the place where the demons were gathered.
Bang!
Kick without hesitation.

Velos kicked the door of Mine Information Department coolly and showed himself without hesitation.
“I heard that someone suspicious of my friend is here.”
As a prince, his will to put anything under his feet is carried through.
The people in the Mine Information Department reacted to the appearance of Velos in two ways.
He immediately got down on his knees or panicked and couldn’t do anything.
Bellos focused on the latter case here.
“From now on, share everything that happens here.”
I was unaware of Mine’s power, but it was still my turn to save my friend.
