Leon explained in a low voice.
“It seems Count Dormund entrusted something very valuable to Arcane University.”
“Something valuable?”
“I don’t know what that is. Anyway, they say it’s one of the Count’s treasures.”
Arthur laughed at Leon’s story.
‘Here’s Dormund?’
Arthur’s eyes changed when the family he had to kill in this life appeared.
‘Hmm… But it’s the treasure of the Count Dormund.’
This was a story I had never heard before.
Why did the cautious Count Dormund entrust the family treasure to Arcane University?
‘Due to his personality, there’s no way this could happen?’
Arthur, who was worried, asked again.
“Interesting. Any other stories?”
“That’s it. Jenika Hazel was the head of [Black Cross], one of the forces of the underworld, and stole the treasure of Arcane University and ran away, but that treasure was the treasure of Count Dormund.”
After completing the explanation, Leon looked into Arthur’s eyes and asked.
“Can’t you smell something?”
“Yes. It smells very bad.”
“There are rumors that one of the members of Count Dormund might be directly involved in this.”
“oh… Could it be that Cain Dormund is coming?”
“I don’t know. It seems my sources haven’t been able to gather any information up to that point.”
Arthur tilted his head.
“But it is amazing. Who is that source, telling you this information?”
“there is. My loyal subordinate planted in the National Police Agency.”
“hmm… What do you know? Is this reliable information?”
Leon nodded.
Arthur murmured, bursting into laughter.
‘This is going to be fun again… .’
Just in time to start a full-scale hunt.
A member of Count Dormund visits Arcane.
‘There is no such thing as a coincidence… Doesn’t it seem like the sky told me to kill this guy?’
Arthur nodded.
‘Then there’s no reason to hesitate. I have no choice but to kill whoever comes.’
Anyway, the Dormund clan had no intention of saving them in this life.
So Arthur was able to make the decision very easily.
Whatever kind of blood relatives come here, I will kill them.
After making that promise, Arthur burst into laughter.
“Whoops… Something is going wrong with this life. As if heaven helps.”
“… What do you mean?”
“there is. Something like that. So, Leon.”
“Speak.”
The corner of Arthur’s mouth went up.
“What are you going to do? Are you going to intervene or not intervene?”
* * *
Leon narrowed his eyes.
“What exactly do you mean by interrupting?”
“It has multiple meanings.”
“These meanings… Something?”
“To kill a Dormund blood relative.”
“… !”
“Is there anything else I can mean to intervene?”
Leon opened his mouth.
“you… Are you insane?”
“Then you are sane.”
“But you’re going to kill a blood relative of Count Dormund?”
“what? Then why don’t you kill me?”
“… ?”
“Count Dormund, to be exact, Cain Dormund is the dog of the second prince, Cannes Madrid.”
“… !”
“Isn’t it natural for him to kill his blood relatives?”
Leon closed his gaping mouth.
And after thinking about it for a while, I shuddered.
‘… Sounds crazy, but surprisingly true.’
Arthur Bayern.
I don’t know why this boy, the son of the most prestigious family in the empire, is doing this, but assuming that he wants to take revenge on his older brother, Can Madrid, this is correct.
‘Earl Dormund is my older brother… Cannes Madrid’s limbs. It means a lot to kill his blood relative.’
But Leon couldn’t answer easily.
Count Dormund, a descendant of Khan Madrid, is the current ruler of the empire.
Killing his blood relative means turning the most powerful person in the empire into an enemy.
‘Is it right to turn him into an enemy at this point?’
Leon couldn’t answer easily.
Then Arthur clicked his tongue.
“Leon is a coward. I can’t help it. I will do it alone.”
Leon responded in surprise.
“You killed Count Dormund by yourself!?”
“Precisely his blood relatives.”
“Killing his blood kin means touching Count Dormund!”
Arthur shrugged.
“So?”
“… what?”
“I will kill them all anyway. Whether it’s late or early, it’s a goal to achieve anyway, so what’s the difference between killing now or killing later?”
“… !”
Leon was genuinely shocked.
‘her… You madman.’
I feel this many times, but Arthur Bayern is a madman.
To think of killing the most powerful person in the empire so easily.
But on the other hand, Leon felt a strange anticipation.
‘… What if Arthur Bavaria kills the Dormund clan?’
And what if Arthur Bayern overcomes Kane Dormund’s wrath?
Due to this incident, the position of the continent’s most prestigious family could change once again.
While imagining that, Leon unknowingly clenched his fists.
‘Cannes Madrid… It’s an opportunity to break down one of his most important axes.’
Leon said with a trembling voice.
“I don’t like to gamble, but when I’m with you, I gamble all the time.”
Arthur burst into laughter.
“Then you’re allies again?”
“What is an alliance? We’ve been together since the beginning!”
“Who do you want?”
Leon stood up and said.
“For now, stay calm for a while.”
“Why?”
“Shouldn’t we gather information and move? This job is complicated. Jenika Hazel from [Black Cross]. Count of Dormund. In addition, Arcane University is also intertwined.”
Leon’s eyes lit up.
“Even if only one side is involved, there are three such groups on the board, so you need to move carefully.”
Arthur nodded.
“Then I’ll trust Leon and wait for you.”
“good! Trust me and wait like now! Gather information!”
After the situation was sorted out, Arthur thought.
‘Who’s coming… .’
If Count Dormund’s blood relatives came to visit, few people immediately came to mind.
‘Because that Cain Dormund killed them all.’
Due to the early elimination of Dormund bloodlines that would interfere with him, few people named Dormund bloodlines.
If there were any, they were all exiled to the periphery or abandoned the Dormund name.
‘Then most likely… They are his sons.’
It was when the corner of Arthur’s mouth went up along with the thought.
Arthur’s prediction came true.
“oh my god-! Did you hear the rumor?”
“What rumors?”
“They say he’s coming from the Empire!”
The eldest of Kane Dormund’s three children.
“Ian Dormund-! One of the Empire’s next-generation knights and a high-ranking elementalist! That person is coming!”
The enemy, who must be killed in this life, stepped into Arcane with his own feet.
* * *
Arcane University was excited.
“Isn’t the suspension of the exam almost the first?”
“I guess so?”
“omg… Then what about grades?”
“Aren’t you supposed to retake the test?”
All midterm exams, which have never been suspended since the founding of Arcane University, have all been suspended.
But the surprises didn’t end there.
“Did you hear the rumor? There must have been a fanatic head at our school!”
“… Fanaticism leader? Who is that?”
“Yenika Hazel! He must have been the head of a pseudo-fanatic!”
“what!? That Yenica Hazel was the head of a pseudo cult?”
The identity of one of the students at Arcane University was revealed in the rumors that were spreading.
His true identity is, surprisingly, the head of a pseudo-fanatic.
The students mentioned Jenika Hazel, unable to hide their astonishment.
“He said it was strange!”
“I go around alone every day, and I don’t talk much!”
“Unlike how I looked, I was also gloomy… He was the head of a pseudo fanaticism.”
Under such circumstances, the professors at Arcane University could not hide their devastated feelings.
“… Has there ever been a crisis like this since the founding of Arcane University?”
“hahahaha… One of the students is not only that filthy backstreet pseudo-fanatic, but he also stole one of the university’s treasures and ran away.”
“Never let this situation stand by!”
“We have to catch that wicked pseudo-fanatic by all means!”
Arcane University is the continent’s premier educational institution.
The students who attended such educational institutions had to be the best.
However, due to this incident, that reputation has been cracked.
Faculty members at Arcane University were outraged at not accepting the fact.
That anger soon led to various measures.
The first thing that was implemented was the public wanted of Yenika Hazel.
[Yenika Hazel]
[Bounty: 12000 Gold]
Bounty posters featuring her picture were scattered throughout Arcane City.
The Arcane students were surprised to see her identity once again, and the backstreet mercenaries and forces in Arcane City were astonished at the bounty.
“Did you hear? Didn’t 12,000 gold hang on the head of the black cross this time?”
“what? 12000 gold? Is it really?”
“It really is. I was also surprised to see Among the recent criminals, have there been any criminals with 12,000 gold?”
The back streets were shaken by a large wanted bounty that appeared after a long time.
“Isn’t it almost 10 years for a wanted criminal to exceed 10,000 gold?”
“Does this sound like an opportunity to grab a bite if you do well?”
“Arthur. then die The opponent is the head of that pseudo fanatic.”
“yes? But wouldn’t there still be some guys who come forward?”
“I heard that [Pirate] and [Chilhwang] are interested.”
“what!? The pirates and the Seven Emperors show interest!?”
In such a complicated situation, the principal of Arcane University.
High End Freya licked her lips.
‘Write… .’
Then the nobleman sitting across from him opened his mouth.
“So how do you take responsibility? Principal?”
Count of Dormund.
From nob le mt l dot com
No, it was a sharp question from the man who would become the next Count of Dormund.
* * *
Highenz, the principal of Arcane University, bowed his head.
“First, let me apologize.”
“… … .”
“Akane University is deeply aware of its responsibility for this situation. As the representative of Arcane University, I apologize.”
Ian Dormund, who was sitting across from him, did not answer.
High Enz Freyja, who was watching him, continued his explanation.
“We have several measures in place for this situation. Firstly… .”
A lengthy explanation continued, but Ian never opened his mouth.
High Enz, who had been explaining enthusiastically, sighed at the sight.
“… It seems you have something else you want.”
Ian’s mouth, which had been closed, finally opened.
“exactly.”
“Which one do you want?”
“Responsible investigative authority to investigate this situation.”
“… !”
High Enz opened his mouth and was surprised.
“Confucius! No matter how serious the situation is, it is against the laws of Arcane City! Absolute external forces directly or indirectly participated in the events of Arcane City… .”
The corners of Ian’s mouth went up.
“Then will you offer the principal’s head?”
“… !”
“His Excellency Cain Dormund is deeply concerned about this situation. So the solution I came up with is two outlines.”
“… … .”
“Assuming responsibility for this situation, take the principal’s head, or retrieve the [relic] again.”
Ian leaned against the backrest.
“But the former is impossible, and the latter is bound to doubt our abilities.”
“… … .”
“So the best compromise I can think of is this. Allow Count Dormund’s search force to enter Arcane City.”
High Enz shivered and said.
“Is it a notice or a solicitation?”
“Notice.”
“What if I refuse?”
The corners of Ian’s mouth rose again.
“At that time, I will not come alone, but with Dormund’s army.”
At his words, Professor Knowles, who was guarding High Enz, couldn’t stand it and shouted.
“Do not speak! Sir Ian! The person in front of me is the great mage representing Arcane City and the master of all education… .”
“Stop it, Professor Knowles.”
“But High Enz-sama!”
“Stop it and take a seat.”
Professor Knowles sat down, impatient with his excitement.
In the meantime, Highenz, who had calmed down his expression, replied.
“Would you mind if I give you an answer after a little while?”
“I cannot wait that long.”
“I will give you an answer soon.”
Ian got up from his seat.
Professor Knowles, who was watching the scene, couldn’t stand it and burst into anger.
“Hi-Enz! No matter how much the author is the real power of the empire, that remark insults the entire Arcane City… .”
Ian, who quietly overheard the cry as he left the room, burst out laughing.
‘Even though I deliberately provoked him, I couldn’t find much fun.’
It seemed like he wasn’t the great mage representing Arcane City for nothing.
It wasn’t that there was nothing to be gained.
‘Even if I refuse… Even if I accept, it doesn’t mean that I don’t get anything.’
If you refuse, you have a justification, and if you accept, you can legally bring troops into Arcane City.
In any situation, there was nothing bad from Dormund’s point of view.
‘the problem is… It’s the Holy Grail.’
It was a time when Ian quietly frowned along with his thoughts.
Something caught his keen senses.
“… !”
Surprised, Ian put his hand on the knife without realizing it.
‘what? How is this life?’
Ian’s gaze hurriedly scanned the surroundings at the sensation that sent a chill down his spine.
Then a familiar yet unfamiliar voice pierced my ears.
“oh… I was wondering who would come, but here you are, Ian.”
Ian hurriedly turned his head.
At that moment, his eyes widened.
‘what?’
familiar face.
However, a man with an unfamiliar energy and physique was leaning against the wall and looking this way.
Because of that, Ian couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Arthur… Bavaria?”
The weak and stupid boy in his memory had completely changed and was looking this way.
In the meantime, Arthur laughed and said.
“Yes, I am Arthur Bayern. How you doing?”
