“Why did things turn out this way?”
Verbute ran around the room nervously, chewing on his thumbnail.
“Why are you looking at me like that, why!”
Everyone is tolerant and friendly to those who will not harm them.
So, like a lovely little animal, Verbut is a harmless junior who does not cause any harm or loss to you. Or pretended to be classmates.
‘But why suddenly!’
Are you looking at me with such hostility?
There was one reason I guess.
Violet. The death of that lowly woman.
Of course, when Verbut killed Violet, he made up an appropriate alibi.
However, that was only the standard for a general imperial investigator.
In fact, just doing that would have been enough. The alibi and evidence were fabricated based on the standard of an imperial investigator, and there were no victims or witnesses, and the investigator was bribed with connections and money from the church.
So, usually, it would just end up being buried as an unsolved case.
It never occurred to me that several nobles and commoners would gather their strength to uncover the truth again because of the death of only one commoner girl.
‘Only because of that girl.’
Do you doubt Verbut?
At least, if he had been a fallen aristocrat, he would have decorated it more perfectly. But Violet was only a maid. of a family without a title. A woman of low bloodline.
In addition, since the investigators have made some purchases, Root, who bought oil and brought it into the academy, has only played one or two pranks.
that was the patch In the end, thanks to the activities of a persistent information group, the tail was caught.
“Ah! Just because of that b*tch. me! me!”
At this point, there was no clear evidence, but as if everyone was convinced in their hearts, when they walked through the academy, one or two out of ten people looked at Verbut with contempt.
A kind and kind girl who is kind and loved by everyone.
How hard did the academy work to create and sit in that seat.
Verbütt stared at the brittle, jagged fingernails that he had bitten and scattered his hair.
“When did the priest say he would come!”
At first, it was an academy that thought the work was over after the investigators went because it was just the death of a commoner, but now there are several students and teachers. At the request of the staff, the state of requesting a fuse to cover the truth and lies.
That is, the interrogation day was set.
The female student who always waited on Verbut’s tearing sound turned pale and answered.
“A day, a week later!”
“I can’t. I need to contact the church.”
Verbut, his strength was originally public opinion. It’s not about showing off great power or showing off strong power.
The image built up at the academy and the people’s advocacy that comes from it.
But now, Verbuth’s biggest weapon was broken, and the supporters made at the academy thought that since she didn’t do it, the priest’s interrogation would reveal her innocence.
“Uh, how?”
Berbutt’s eyes flashed at the female student’s words.
“Even in the church, if you lose me now, you have to lose. There are only a few people who operate close to the sun without getting blood on their hands or making big enemies.”
And my family and faction have a strong position within the church, so there’s no way they’ll throw me out.
Verbite smiled slowly, slowly rolling his eyes with a calm face.
“Ask first. I have no choice but to do something.”
Artifacts to assassinate priests coming here or avoid interrogation.
or not.
“Maybe it’ll make me have no time to worry about these little things.”
Rumors and incidents can be covered up with rumors and incidents.
Verbut giggled and grabbed the siren.
* * *
“Here is Guardia senior.”
“You always look dignified and dignified.”
The lineage of one of the leading families on the continent. Even the beautiful appearance and trait.
A determined yet calm personality. Although she is a little more blunt and cold towards men, and the word “ice flower blooming on the cliff” is openly circulating, that seems to make the existence of Guardia stand out even more.
Silver-blue hair that shone brilliantly under the sunlight, and deep ice-blue eyes.
As if the unsavory incident that had happened a while ago had been forgotten from everyone’s mind, the number of followers increased more than the critics, and while listening to their whispers, Guardia sat on a bench in the garden and scattered cold gazes.
‘What are you thinking?’
Not even once.
In the meantime, Caiman had never once told Guardia to come back to his home.
Due to the nature of the Imperial Academy, where graduation is still difficult, there were few people who went home unconditionally for vacation, but most of them said that they wanted to see their families and stopped by for a while.
However, Caiman was always cold and heartless, and at least occasionally watched only Adelian.
‘Although I’ve always had the feeling that Adelian and I don’t want to be together.’
It’s different this time.
no or the same
Are you calling to find out that Adelian is flying outside?
‘What are you calling to do?’
emergency. It was said to be a message that requires closeness.
And it was the end of the incomprehensible words that if possible, it would be helpful to develop resistance to fire property for a month.
Gadia thought. Whether or not to share Caiman’s message this time with Adelian.
Originally, it was absurd to even think like this. A not-so-good competitor. Rather than blood relatives, they were rivals in the future, but their status was noticeably lowered.
Even the character of being pointed at by anyone and the trait that eventually emerged as a result.
The relationship with Adelian, which was not good at first, almost became more distant after the ring of the family head was passed on to Adelian, so originally, it would be appropriate to return to the family while keeping Caiman’s message to Guardia alone.
‘Strange.’
Somehow, I felt the need to share this with Adelian.
From noble mtl dot com.
A situation where you can definitely take advantage of the benefits provided by caiman. In addition, considering the message that Caiman, the owner of the family, had told him not to tell anyone, it was something he should never have chosen.
‘Because I have a debt.’
At least I don’t know what Caiman will do, but wouldn’t it be right to hint at the fact that he’s been in touch personally?
Guardia blinked slowly, and her silvery-blue eyelashes glowed as if light had penetrated them.
‘My sister owes me now, and I am the one who saved her.’
I still vividly remember what Adelian said.
‘do not forget. That I lost as much as my sister’s own value.’
At that time, Gadia couldn’t refute anything.
Because that was the right word.
For power, for power. Isn’t it so rare that blood and blood die and kill each other? Adelian saved Guardia from falling into a trap, and it was certainly true that she had lost that much.
‘As much as my worth.’
If that’s the case, even if I give you tens of millions of dollars, I’ll feel like I’m in debt for the rest of my life.
So you won’t regret adding one more word to this.
Guardia took out the siren that Adelian had given her and touched it.
* * *
“therefore. Caiman intends to secretly summon Guardia?”
＜Yes. This has become clear from the recent siren details of the siren and the lady given to the head of the household.＞
I never thought I would feel the power of the information obtained by spraying sirens so quickly.
Due to the lack of reliable manpower, only those who thought it was important were constantly eavesdropping. There was no Guardia among them, but Caiman’s closest aide, who is currently undergoing closed training, is a person of interest, so he said to pay special attention.
‘This is how things go.’
I lay down on a cloth on the sandy beach and watched the sunset sky.
When I asked to have a personal interview, Rachel ran away to take a rest while she came out of the dungeon.
In addition, I started with ‘Your complexion doesn’t look good?’, frantically inquired, and finally told me honestly that I had absorbed too much mana from water.
And a short break after falling for Zero’s flattery that he would catch and grill the fish.
Thanks to that, I slowly began to recall the actions of Caiman, who appeared in the Innocent Saga from the original work.
In fact, he wasn’t the main party, he was a person who ended up getting his throat cut at the hands of Guardia, and he wasn’t the one who had a great attraction to me, so even though I was an over-immersed otaku, I couldn’t remember all of them.
‘In the original story, the storm beads were eventually stolen by the Evil Gods.’
He tried to contain the essence of fire with a storm orb and absorb the power.
Thanks to the deprivation of it by the Evil Gods Church, Caiman joins hands with the Evil Gods Church to support them as a way to control the essence of fire, instead taking over the storm beads.
Exactly how it was intended to be used was not known. Was it intended to be put into a weapon, or was it intended to create an artifact using that mighty power as energy?
However, if you combine only those from the original game and the game, eventually Caiman could not control the essence of fire even with the storm beads.
In addition to the class, there was a separate field that exerted a little stronger efficacy.
In the game, the essence of fire is unconditionally in the hands of Caiman, so it is unknown, but users guess that it is an all-weather treasure that encompasses all of the attack and defense attribute stats in addition to the best treasure.
On the other hand, the Storm Orb, like the essence of fire, shows its greatest performance when it is the core of defense and barrier rather than having a multi-faceted function with the power of its attribute itself strongly condensed.
In game terms, the essence of fire is smelting. If it is an item that raises stats just by possessing an enhancement stone that can strengthen a unit as well as a material for crafting, then the beads of storm are said to be a powerful magic catalyst or a material that goes into crafting.
Perhaps because of this, Caiman, who eventually failed to control the essence of fire, confined it to his body in order to control it as accurately as possible.
And thanks to that, I was able to use the power of flame itself, not a human being.
The appearance is also changed. Perhaps thanks to the mana of the blazing fire, his personality became violent and cruel, and he appeared like a disaster.
Even the main party couldn’t afford it easily.
In the game, when operating as a sub-party rather than the main party, it came out as a mid-boss that can be defeated only by leveling up to the limit and then filling the inventory with water or ice-type artifacts and potions to fully prepare.
At least, the main party was worth doing as long as the level up of the guard was properly done. Her status ailments and damage are applied at half or less, and regardless of the property, even if the same ice property attack is used, only Guardia’s attack always has a critical rate.
‘But now, as far as I know, the Storm Orb was stolen by the Evil God Church, and Caiman did not cooperate with them.’
Calling Guardia in that situation?
I can guess how Caiman neutralized and controlled the essence of fire until now.
I bought property stones with water or ice properties so that the gold trait changed from time to time, bought slaves with such traits, and even bought property stone mines.
He must have sacrificed them and melted the mountain of attribute stones to control the essence of fire.
However, in a situation where the orb of the storm has not yet been obtained, he calls the guardia now that he has encountered difficulties in controlling it?
Caiman was cruel to Adelian, but it was different to Gadia.
So it’s not like she’s simply sacrificing Guardia.
“It’s the academy’s vacation in a month… … .”
I looked at Kane, who was controlling his mana overload.
‘The main character is the main character.’
Maybe even if it doesn’t go to the orbs of the storm, the mana of the water in Kane’s body will be the key.
Is the fate of the main character originally like that?
“I need to quickly find an artifact to use.”
Rachel and other children are excited to play in the water. In addition, he held the siren as he watched Zero bring the fish that had been grilled to a golden brown.
“Alkaido. Report when the day Guardia comes is confirmed.”
Because I think I have to go too.
