Always fair and square in the way of light. How nice it would be if we could solve the problem and keep the other forces in check.
‘Adults are not so clean. young master.’
Perhaps Adelian didn’t know how destructive it was to use a doppelganger as a spy.
No, even if you knew, didn’t you want to do that?
‘They’re not the only ones to use as regular members.’
To absorb the memories of a swallowed human and become that person. What a terrifying ability.
If you add a little more information, it will become a dagger under the chin that no one will ever know.
Collecting information safely in an ordinary place with these people as ordinary people is no different from grinding the ground with a treasured sword.
Alkaido took out five envelopes from his bosom and put them on the table.
“You’ve worked hard in this basement.”
“no. butler.”
“It was nothing… … .”
“I can finally repay the favor.”
“Huh, my body was itching.”
“sh*t. This is the beginning.”
“Huh… Everyone is very motivated.”
Six doppelgangers standing in front of you. Five of them will now start gathering information by moving to different territories or countries.
I disguised myself as the lowest person and took advantage of the gaps, step by step, step by step. And in the end, swallowing and disguising a person in a fairly important position.
Even if you fail in the middle, you can change your appearance, so you can aim for one or two more chances. A method that only a doppelganger can do.
Alkaido slowly opened his mouth.
“I have confirmed several times that even if I swallow the whole target, its memories are not 100% absorbed, so find out as much information as possible before hunting and memorize it completely before you act.”
Alkaido touched one of the five paper envelopes on the table with his fingertips.
For the convenience of people, several gods are enshrined in one temple, but there is definitely a god with strong power.
“The Archbishop of the Sun God. Hamid.”
The mightiest and most massive empire. The royal family is at the very center of the country where only pure humans are recognized as nobles.
“The royalty of Tateria, Elwin Tateria.”
Cradle of Knowledge. The city of magic towers and alchemy towers. And the best academy on the continent in the middle. A place where only talent is seen regardless of origin or race.
“Chairman of Kimishtri. Genowine.”
The ruler of the northern region, which is more barren than Chavid. Grand Duke Gedman’s only weakness and the only companion he swore to give his all to.
“Ice elf Rshiola.”
A predator of the Namhae Islands who controls a huge ship as if commanding a horse, cutting through storms and tidal waves.
“Pirate Queen Alice.”
Alkaido pushed the five envelopes on the table in different directions and added a cold tone.
“These are the people you should finally aim for. Until they are, we will not be in touch with each other. And if.”
silence for a while. He knew what the next words would come out of Alkaido’s mouth.
“If you fail, take your own life.”
Before the doppelganger race itself is revealed.
Everyone laughed at Alkaido’s intentional words.
“What do you see us as? of course.”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. Instead, please take good care of me.”
“Don’t worry.”
“A chance to finally change into a female body.”
“Because we are also monsters who know what grace is.”
Alkaido, who watched each one pick up what he wanted, met eyes with swordsman Tei, who was holding nothing in his hand.
“And you, from now on, become my escort, always watch over me and memorize me. My mannerisms, my way of speaking. My mindset, all of that.”
In preparation for the unexpected, even if I can’t absorb all of my memories, there will be no empty spaces.
Alkaido said that to the man who might one day become himself and turned around.

[Bahadi Agtarita – Possessor of the Starlight Fountain]
Representative Traits: [Spirit (SS)] [Freedom (S)] [Appearance (S)]
Hidden Traits: [Cursing (B)] [Smoke (D)]
I sat in an unnaturally upright posture and looked at the high elf Bahadi as he took a sip of tea from a painting-like angle.
Perhaps because of his immobility, he has been sitting without a single change in his expression since earlier, but his white skin and even facial expressions made him wonder if he was a mannequin.
“I asked Zero to go shopping.”
“good job. Also, can you take Cain, who has been staring at you pretending to be training from earlier?”
“Ah. yeah… yes… … .”
I sighed as I looked over the window at the Bahadi and me, watching Cain getting nervous.
Unknowingly, I feel like Kane, Luna, and Zero are overprotective of me.
‘Even though I did something.’
I sat in a rocking chair and rested my chin on it, and as I rocked the chair, Bahadi silently put down the teacup.
She gently lowered her hands to her knees and opened her mouth as if she had actually seated a doll.
“Since you drank tea, shall we get to the point?”
“What are you in such a hurry for? It’s good to eat while you’re here and talk while you’re full.”
“I will refuse.”
Yes, I also threw a joke.
In fact, unlike Balbus, Caiman, and Alkai, who had some information from playing games or reading the original, Bahadi is a person to be dealt with innocently.
‘Because both in the original work and in the game, the entire forest of spirits was blown away.’
Even those who barely survived didn’t matter too much.
Feeling a bit like fighting a battle, I passed a sip of the fragrant tea water down my throat.
“Then let’s get to the point. I heard why you came. What you want is, of course, the traitor’s information. What will you give me?”
To my words, Bahadi closed and opened his eyes at a steady rate and answered with a tone of constant pitch.
“Gold, jewels, elven artifacts, spirit stones or magic stones. Say what you want.”
At her words, I deliberately sneered openly like an idiot.
“The only trait I can put forward is financial power.”
money. Imagine how much it’s worth if it gets stuck as a trait.
Bahadi opened his mouth as he spoke arrogantly with a little bit of rhyme, as if he was suggesting something like that.
“okay. If so, please tell me first. What do you want?”
Dear, you are in advance.
A very familiar phrase flickers.
I lightly tapped the table with the feeling of an immature man with a lot of money, smiled and joked.
“you?”
Bahadi’s expression changes for the first time at my words. Between my eyebrows slightly narrowed, I quickly continued my words.
“Would it be rude to say that? What I want is not that big. First of all, I heard there are ruins here along with a personal interview with your elders?”
Bahadi didn’t measure me too much, as if he had understood me to be a stupid aristocrat who came from a moderately wealthy and high-ranking person.
“As for the interview with the elder, I have to ask him. And it is an always-open ancient ruin that you can enter at any time for a small admission fee.”
At her words, I put on an exaggeratedly bored expression and pushed the floor with my feet and rocked the rocking chair roughly.
“Who doesn’t know that? Other than that, there is one more.”
He must have thought of him as an aristocrat who was obsessed with the elf’s appearance, but Bahadi’s expression wavered slightly when he was immediately caught off guard.
“… I don’t know what you mean.”
“okay? Then the negotiations are broken. bye.”
Luna, the guest is coming! Bahadi’s face crumpled a little more at my cry, and Luna came out with an excited face.
“Can I guide you to Jungang-daero on the way out?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Luna smiled and opened the door slightly, and Bahadi spoke a little hastily.
“It’s rude. If you ask me to give you something you don’t have… … .”
I waved my hand as if to say good-bye, then smiled.
If you get caught off guard here one more time.
“Oh, yes? They say that fairies like elves can swear by the oath of mana. Would you bet on that and say that what you just said is true?”
Bahadi’s expression shattered in the end at my casually thrown words. Eyes slightly larger and lips quivering.
“… how do you do that?”
The oath made to mana must be kept unconditionally, and if it is broken, all mana will be burned and a life worse than death will remain.
How absurd is that?
And who would like such unreasonable conditions? Wouldn’t you wish that everyone you knew would disappear?
If you don’t write it, you forget it. If it does not rise to the surface, it sinks.
If you don’t swear, someone eventually forgets about it and lives on and erases it as it is.
Most of the fairies are long-lived, so little by little those who knew the secret disappeared, and now most people don’t even know that such a thing exists.
‘You think I’m an overinvolved otaku for no reason.’
Originally, virtue is done in nano units. So even though I fell in a place like this and can no longer play the original game or the game, I still remember the small settings.
“… Obviously, there is one more besides the ruins that are open now, but no one can enter there. It’s just an ambiguous space that can’t even be called a ruin.”
“No one can come in? Are you sure?”
To my words, Bahadi answered again with a doll-like face.
“A thousand years have passed since it was discovered. No elves or humans. At least the wind spirit couldn’t enter. It is not a ruin, it is just an ambiguous space.”
I giggled at Bahadi’s words and drank tea.
“You have to speak straight.”
I’ve been holding onto each one from a very long time ago. I thought my concept was an idiot, but it turns out that I am a person with abilities? It’s like this.
And I licked my lips with a smile that matched that concept.
you won’t be able to get in
The shape of my mouth, you know.
“Anyway, if you want information, you have to give it to me. The confrontation with the Great Elder and the right of passage to the ruins. Otherwise, don’t take it.”
At that, Bahadi looked at me for a long time with green eyes and then slowly opened his mouth.
“So you can go in there?”
A look that doesn’t believe at all. In fact, I would have brought in a human or two just in case. Are they curious about that space too?
However, in the end, no one was able to enter, and if it was a space where even the spirits could not enter, it would not have been easy to open it openly in the expectation that there would be something great.
But that, there are other conditions to enter.
“Do you want to bet?”
Bahardi held his breath for a moment and thought about my well-founded confidence, then slowly rose from his seat.
“I’ll see you again.”
“Next time, don’t come empty-handed. Would you like to buy some fruit?”
Don’t you want to go to dinner? It must be delicious. At my words, Bahadi glanced at the kitchen and said, ‘It’s okay.’ I replied and turned around and left.
“It smells really good.”
“Today, you asked for worldly taste, so it’s steamed fish.”
As soon as Bahadi leaves, Luna and Zero, who have noticed, appear.
“I thought it would be difficult to do with ordinary camping tools when it comes to worldly tastes, young boy.”
“It was my first time seeing such a big fish, so it was fun to clean it. The thorns are all pre-applied, so it should be delicious, Adelian-sama.”
I laughed out loud when I looked at Luna and Zero as if they were sneaking up on me to compliment me.
My mouth is watering because I really steamed fish the size of my forearm with all sorts of seasonings and vegetables.
As soon as Kane, who was seeing off and watching Bahadi, returned and sat down at the table, I opened my mouth casually.
“Let’s go buy clothes for Zero later.”
Sooner or later, I’m going to see the person who will become my teacher, no, the elf, so I have to dress up. is not it?
