Headquarters of the Knights of Lichtenau.
The office of Joseph, the commander of the 2nd Knights of Liechtenau.
“What family. My lady and the young master have a friend with an unusual history.”
Supply and demand of manpower and response to war.
Joseph, who had been working nonstop for days on two jobs, found an unexpected name in the pile of reports and stopped.
What family.
Not a famous family name.
Rather, it was a family that should not be famous.
“Why is the daughter of the Ambu Knight family not in the Black Forest but in Nightray?”
The Ambu side was not well known except for the four major munpa.
In the first place, because they were extremely reluctant to reveal their names and swordsmanship, there were many cases where even the Dark Knights did not know each other.
At least, the Temple of the Moon tended to seek people from sunny places due to the problem of not being able to learn elemental form without aptitude, but other than that, it was closed.
It is difficult to grasp all the details even with the intelligence of the eight generations.
“I only remember the name Wen because I’ve come across it before, so I guess no one noticed.”
Judging from the contents of the report in the first place, Tiu was looking for the lost family swordsmanship.
If so, there was a high possibility that he himself did not know what kind of family he came from.
The only one who knows this at this point is Joseph himself.
It’s okay to think that no one else knows.
This was true of Regina and other Master Knights as well.
The higher up you are, the harder it is to look down.
It had to be considered that there was no possibility that they knew even a single clan.
“The head of the house left all the work and went into the closet just because he was taking a disaster-level elixir.”
Excluding the imperial family, the leader of the 1st division of a large knights corps is usually the head of the household.
Because of this, Joseph, the 2nd division commander, was also in charge of the current family’s full power.
Noah is an important figure involved in virtually all the problems of the current empire.
Having a monopoly on information connected to Noah would have a significant impact on future work.
“I also have a chance to go up.”
* * *
The contents of the awaited letter were as follows.
“I can’t leave because I have children in my care. I can tell you which family swordsmanship I saw, but would you like me to come from there?”
The common room of the Black Moon Dormitory.
Everyone who heard the contents of the letter from Thiu immediately rebelled.
“no. It’s dangerous to leave school at this time. In the first place, the principal wouldn’t even allow it.”
“Can’t you just bring the kids? It’s like taking a family trip. Tiu is also a top ranker now, so he should be able to take care of travel expenses and lodging with just his points.”
At the words of Ursula and Shiva, Linaria gave her guess.
“There may be more than one child.”
“Then what about the letter?”
“Can you learn swordsmanship just by writing?”
‘Isn’t that impossible?’
Linaria looked at Shiva as if she were an idiot, but Noah thought it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.
Even though grandfather laid the groundwork by his side, it was like learning a swordsmanship that Noah had never seen before.
“Even if it could be done, it would be a bit like that with a letter. It might leak out in the middle.”
“As Noah said, there is such a problem.”
If the contents of the swordsmanship were leaked, it would be safe to say that the swordsmanship had reached its end of life.
Developing countermeasures by seeing the use of completed swordsmanship and developing it by looking at the contents of the swordsmanship were completely different issues.
Once swordsmanship was leaked out and became a public good, weaknesses would also spread widely like common sense.
The weakness of the swordsmanship he learned spreads to the level of common sense among people?
That was fatal for Tiu as well.
“Then what should I do?”
“nothing.”
“yes?”
It was Ophelia who answered Noah’s question.
When winter came, she put on a thicker bearskin and listened disinterestedly before giving an answer.
“Anyway, Tiu wasn’t going to give up for several years to restore swordsmanship, right? Then it’s just a matter of waiting a little longer. Until the empire exterminates the organization and we are free to go out.”
It was a theory.
From noble mtl dot com.
It turns out that the organization has stronger power than expected, but it is only ‘stronger than expected’.
If they had the power to overthrow the Empire, there was no reason to hide in the dark.
“But that… … .”
“that’s right. there is no promise So the second way. Isn’t that only a one-night and two-day street?”
“Hmm? Ah, ah ah!”
Seeing Ophelia with two fingers spread, Noah finally realized what she was trying to say.
“You can sneak in and come back.”
* * *
“So you want me to help you? So I can go outside secretly?”
“yes.”
“Yes what yes! What if I get caught!”
Kuina looked at Noah and Tiu, who came to visit her, as if they were dumbfounded.
“Even if Noah is like that, do you think Tiu and you are the same?”
“I know it won’t work, but I still don’t know.”
“oh my god.”
Kuina felt a pain in her back.
“Did you say 2 days and 1 night? Certainly, with my abilities, I can get you all there without anyone knowing. But why should I? If you want to pamper me, offer a price!”
“Ah, if that’s the case, of course I prepared it.”
At Kuina’s words, Noah held out a crumpled check from his pocket.
“huh? Are you thinking of buying me with money? No matter how high your ranking is, it’s obvious that you haven’t even looked at the money you’ve saved since you’re only two years old… … Ehehehe?!”
Kuina, who was once a member of the Imperial Intelligence Service, often dealt with lucrative information.
Now that he left the intelligence department, he made a lot of money using the information he knew, but he couldn’t help but be surprised by the amount Noah gave him.
“Wait, isn’t it fake? It’s not? Are you sure this is real? Why not fake it?”
“The imperial family didn’t seize my father’s property separately. So, my real father.”
“If it’s your biological father, then Cain?”
“As expected, Kuina-sensei knew about it. Well, is it natural that you quit the intelligence department and are working as the principal’s hands?”
During the Great War, the empire was ruined anyway, so bonds were issued with empty checks.
And Cain is a master knight who played an active part in the great war.
The face value of the bonds Master Knight received as war pay was enormous.
And Noah inherited all his wealth.
‘I didn’t know that my grandfather was also managing the property.’
One day, he dreamed of becoming rich, saying that his father, whom he didn’t even know his face, left him a huge fortune, but even Noah didn’t know that it would actually happen.
Even Vincent invested Noah’s inherited property in post-war reconstruction projects and more than doubled it over 20 years.
Thanks to this, Noah is now an individual with more money than the rest, including the collaterals of quite a few historical families.
“I-can I use this much? No matter how much money you have, really?”
“Rather, they told me to write it. If you don’t use it and save it, you only pay taxes.”
“oh my god… … .”
Kuina knelt in front of Don.
“Shall I lick your shoes first?”
* * *
“Are you really going to spend it like that?”
In the principal’s office, Veronica asked Regina.
“It is clear that the organization will target Mr. Noah. I thought the principal would not allow this.”
After the organization’s invasion of the Nightrays, Regina always had her sixth sense spread throughout the Nightrays.
There is nothing Regina doesn’t know about in Nightray.
Only Veronica and Julius were able to grasp this fact with the power of the Mystic Eye.
Because of this, Veronica came to see Regina as soon as she heard from Noah that she would go out for a while and ask for attendance or cleaning up.
In her opinion, Regina had no reason to allow this.
However, Regina did not stop them from escaping the Nightray.
“I don’t know what you are thinking. In some cases… … .”
Even you will not be able to escape the suspicion that you are not a member of the organization.
Regina even understood what Veronica was saying behind her back.
So I laughed.
“why? Are you worried about Noah?”
“Oh, it’s not like that!”
“You couldn’t have been so boring when you were young, but you’re becoming cute these days.”
The Luminous Emperor tried to raise Veronica as a substitute for himself when Veronica manifested the Mystic Eye.
No matter how much it is a daughter who was incorporated into the imperial family because of the evil eye, a daughter is a daughter.
However, to Emperor Guanghui, who had his eyes on revenge, it was just one of the chess pieces.
It was too harsh for a child.
All Regina could do was call her into the Nightray and keep her out of the hands of the Bright Emperor for a while.
“Don’t worry. As long as Kuina is with us, there will be nothing dangerous.”
“yes?”
“Why do you think I’m walking a tightrope between my two goddamn seniors, but I’m wearing someone from the intelligence department that’s no different from the emperor’s limbs?”
Kuina was a person who could circumvent even the imperial intelligence department if she wanted to, no, no one could chase after her.
“Do you know about Dark Gate, one of the 4 major gates in Black Forest?”
“A group of dark women that existed from the beginning of the empire. Originally, I didn’t have a name, but I heard that the name that was used like a nickname after coming out as Sunny when Geolim was formed became the official name.”
“right. And the owner of Ammun inherits the name of Saengsa-ryeong from generation to generation. His name means the owner of the living and dead spirits.”
A living soul of the intelligence department that handles living things.
The assassination squad commander who only deals with death.
Life and death also meant someone who had mastered both.
“Kuina is a disciple of the current life death spirit, and a living spirit of this generation. If that guy only focuses on survival, no one will catch him.”
“Yes?”
This was also the case with Regina, who can cut time.
Because it took longer to find Kuina than Regina could cut.
“But organizations are dangerous to use superpowers. It seems that Julius sunbaenim also struggled with his abilities… … .”
“That’s right. Even though Julius was already quite a knight commander level, he was beaten badly by the Emperor. But this time it will be different.”
When Noah retired in the battle with the Zita Emperor, Julius was also unable to use his strength.
However, now that Cain’s only weakness, rigid body art, has been resolved.
Rather, Noah could be said to be their natural enemy.
“As long as Noah and Kuina are together, there is no need to worry about the organization.”
“Is Kuina-san someone you can trust?”
“It’s a rain gate.”
If I couldn’t believe it, I wouldn’t even keep it by my side.
“Of course, that child is not the type to be loyal to anyone. Because even the spirit of life and death raised both hands and feet. Instead, I never give up on things that interest me.”
Kuina joined Regina in order to see the outcome of the event that would determine the fate of the empire and even the world.
Because Regina is in the best position to directly look at both the Bright Emperor and Cain.
After Noah’s appearance, Kuina’s interest gradually shifted to him.
And this was exactly what Regina was aiming for.
‘If I can get Kuina’s heart, it will be of great help to you in the future.’
If Enya and Cain left Noah with swordsmanship and martial arts, Regina would make up for Noah’s lack of skills.
“Now you’re 14th and 2nd, but Veronica, you’ll have to struggle a bit to keep up.”
